THE UNCLEAN SPIRIT.
Evangelist Varley Calls Upon the Peo-
pie to Cast 1t Out.


The Rev. Henry Marley made an earnest
plea to the young men and young women
of San Francisco last night to cast out the
devil that is in them and become possessed
of Christ.
He took for his text Matthew xii :43 ct
seq, beginning, "When the unclean spirit
is gone out of man, he walketh through
dry places, seeking rest, and findeth none !"
etc. His subject was Possessed, Dis
possessed, Repossessed," and he went on
to show that many people were possessed
of the devil through succumbing to the
pleasures, the vices, the fashions, the
temptations around them.
"Ihe devils capital is iniquity," he
said. sHe is loaning iniquity. He said to
Jesus Christ, Cast thyself down. He had
no power himself to cast Christ down; he
has no power to cast you down.
"Young girls, let me tell you there is no
greater danger to you than from your
natural affections. You must not let your
love, as you call it, run riot. I beseech
you listen TO me! beseech you. On the
shrine of an undisciplined young affection
more young women have been ruined than
| can tell you. The sins of drinking and
RIGHTEOUSNESS and unbridled love of pleas
ure lead many people to neglect the duties
of home.
lou may see thousands OF young
women on the streets of this city who
dress on purpose to attract the attention of
people outside. How can any modest girl
dress herself in that way? 1t is simply
scandalous. She must have a very low
estimate of what a lady ought to be, or
woman. Women, remember this, that if
you are fair to look upon, that Beauty I'M
adorned is adorned the most If you are
fair to look upon, it is not necessary to
proclaim it,
The preacher then pointed out the vices
of the young men of this and other cities.
and called upon them to cast out the I'M
clean spirit and take Christ to their hearts.
Chalmers, in his sermon, had noted
'the expulsive force of new affection"
and the Rev. Mr.. Marley asked them to
love Christ with love stronger than any
affection and thus expel the devils within
them, and when that was done to see al
ways that the son of man dwelt with them,
that when the devil came back to repossess
them he would be frightened away.
At the conclusion of the sermon num-
Der of those present confessed their trust
in Jesus and the services concluded with
prayer.

GROCERS DISAPPOINTED.
Their Celebration and Outing Had to
Be Postponed on Account of
the Weather.

The steady downpour of rain early yes
terday morning made it necessary for the
Retail Grocers' Protective Union to post
pone their picnic.
1t was the intention to hold pleasant
outing in Schuetzen Park near San Rafael
and every preparation had been made 10
insure its success. A small crowd that was
not frightened by the rain gathered with
their baskets at the Tiburon ferry and
listened to piece by the band that was to
make music for the picnickers.
A telephone message from the park
announced that it had been raining all
night across the bay and the ground was
too wet and muddy for games and athletic
sports. That settled it and the band was
sent home.
The entertainment committee went to
the park to make arrangements for some
other date for the picnic.

M1Ilttamen Who Did Not Biyouac as
They Had Planned.
Last Saturday afternoon seventy-one
members of Companies and G of the First
Regiment, N. G. c., left this City for Ber-
kelley, where they took the "baby train" of
the Nevada narrow-guage road for Bryant,
in the foothills of Contra Costa County,
near San Pablo. 1t was their intention to
have blvouac, sleep on the hard, hard
ground rolled in army blankets that had
been in service at Sacramento, then get up
In the morning, partake of good break
fast and then shoot at seven man targets,
then take dinner and return to the City on
Sunday night. They reached the site
selected at o'clock, and their makeup
gave them the appearance of veterans who
had been fighting Indians on the plains of
Arizona. But fate was against them.
When they left the cars it commenced to
drizzle, then it rained and continued rain
ing, SO the idea of sleeping on beds of fern
was given up and the soldiers returned to
the shelter of the cars, making the best of
the situation, sleeping as best they could
cuddled up on the seats.
Yesterday morning, the commissary,
who some how got things mixed, served
the dinner rations for breakfast, and when
the dinner hour came the boys had to
satisfy themselves with what had been
set aside for breakfast. The rain continued
and the boys did not care to face the tar
gets, so at O'Clock in the afternoon they
started homeward without having made a
record. When they landed on this side
each mans face wore look of disappoint-

TALKED IN THE TEMPLE
An Address by Rev. Anna H.

DIR. vooRsANGER's REMARKS
Event In the History of Amer
lean judaism.

Probably at no time in the history of
Judaism in America was such sight wit
messed as the gathering in the Temple
Emanuel last evening. The occasion for
the stir in Hebrew circles was the fact that
Rev. Anna II. Shaw, prominent speaker
at the Woman's Congress, would address
the congregation. 1t is novelty for a
woman to appear in Jewish pulpit and
the announcement served to bring to the
sacred editce every prominent Isrealite in
the City and many more from the sur
rounding country.

THE OIL INDUSTRY


Settlement of the Transportation Question
Expected This Afternoon
The directors of the oil exchange were
in session all forenoon yesterday debating
upon matters pertaining to transporta-
ton.
They have reserved the conclusions ar.
rived at until the meeting of the subscri-
bers to the stock of the corporation this
afternoon. Then the question of trans
portation will receive full attention and
some final action will probably be taken
upon the bids now before tie exchange.
Preparations were being made yester.
day for drilling deeper in the Phoenix Oil
com pany's we'll on lockwood street.
Hendricks & Homage have contract.
ed to drill test we'll for Mr.. Heating
about five miles from the western end of
the fields. The prospecting now being
done in different directions at distance
from the oil center will determine the ex-
tent of the belt, and in event the uepos-
its are found to be very extensive greater
developments will follow.
Mrs. Tomlinson will have one of her
wells on Omaha street deepened next
week. The paying result of deeper drill
ing is having the effect of causing great
deal OF redrilling to be done all over tn
oil territory.
Yesterday there were only few of the
many rigs now drilling which were not
impeded by the loss of tools or other &C.

CHIEF MOORE GOES EAST
He Will Inspect the Metropolitan Department

and Clean Ideas
Chief Walter S. Moore. of the Los An.
geles fire department left last evening for
the east OH tour Of inspection. He will
be gone nearly month.
In speaking of the contemplated journey
the chief said to Herald reporter:
eyes, am going east at once and when

and new ideas concerning efficient hre
fighting. hope to visit and inspect the
Philadelphia, Boston and Washington
and if there is anything to be gained by
adopting their methods think the COM
missioners will be glad to take immedi-
ate advantage of the fact.
You see the modern system of fighting
fire is totally different from that of thirty
years ago. Nowadays a single minute
sometimes means losses of $40, ono or $50, :
600 damage merely from smoke. To over.
come these things the modern fireman is
being educated up to the idea of efficient,
the water damage is large and to obviate
this we must devise some new methods
of quenching blaze.
Before return I will attend the con-
vention of fire chiefs at Augusta, Georgia.
where there will be q four days session
of the heads of departments from all over
the Unlted States. The convention will
in itself be great idea producer and
there will be papers presented by those
who attend, dealing with all pertinent
subjects.
81 shall, moreover, endeavor to get
the convention of 1900 IN this city SO that
we may celebrate Its tiftieth birthday by
making adequate preparations to resist

CORCNER'S INQUEST
Held Over tile Remains OF Thomas Reynolds
Yesterday

Yesterday
An inquest was held at Kregelo e.
Bresee's undertaking rooms yesterday
afternoon over the BODY of Thomas Roy
nolds, who was drowned last Monday
while working on the new sewer main
on Los Angeles street.
Patrick NJ. Darcy. one of the contract
ors on the work. was the first witness ex-
amlned. He testified as to the condition
OF the excavations. and stated that rea-
sonable precautions were taken to prevent
accident. The situation, he said, was
not considered dangerous by any of the
men.
A. T. Tilden and Frank Gillespie, sewer
inspectors, when examined said that the
work then being done did not come UNI
der their supervision. They simply in
spected the work after it was com pleted
to see that the streets were left in good
condition.
The next witness was Everett G. Jones,
a mem Der of the corps of city engineers.
The principal point of his testim onvy
WAS that excavations made under such
circumstances as those prevailing when
the accident occurred we've considered dam
gerous from an engineer standpoint,
and therefore required to be boarded up.
One of the laborers engaged in working
at the place where Reynolds was killed,
stated that none of the men considered
the situation dangerous. Had they dune
so. he said, there was an abundance OF
tim Der on hand with which TO wall the
excavation.
After celebrating upon the evidence
the Jury brought in the following verdict:
Thomas Reynolds came to his death
by the caving in OF an excavation for a
sewer. caused by neglect to timber 3
hole IA feet IN depth in treacherous
ground"
The funeral OF Mr.. Reynolds will be
held at the undertaking parlors OF Kreg-
clio 81 Bresee, on Broadway, at I'm. to-
day.
