thoughtful and memorable address, and
its principal Characteristic was its ap-
propriateness.
One of the most striking points which
the preacher made was that men have
learned a greater truth than that expressed
in the familiar declaration, sail men are
equnl"; they have learned that all men
are brothers, whether they are equal or
not. Fraternity and not equality is the
true measure Of relation between man
and man.
1t is this principle he claimed that the
order OF Odd Fellows had done so much
to bring TO recognition. Organic CO. -oper-
alton and individual loyalty were the
watchwords which stood for all that was
best and truest in the order and that best
and truest predominates.
In reference TO Canonicus Lodge in par
ticular, Mr. Selleck spoke of its half CEN
tury OF splendid achievement and con-
graduated the members on the event
which they are now celebrating.
A half century of efficient labor in
good cause is o record well worth
noticing. In order that the true nature
and worth OF this work may be appre-

remarkable success during the first two
years OF its history. One hundred and
twenty nine names were upon its roll OF
membership on January 1, l647. Ere long,
however, 1t was tested by adversely and
suffered some losses both in members and
financial resources. The darkest period
was at the close Of 1Si9, at which time the
question of its continued existence seemed
exceedingly doubtful. A few devoted
brethren, however, were determined
to hold on to the charter. BY their faith
and courage the vitality of the lodge was
preserved, new interest was awakened,
and prosperity again returned. Ten years
later the lodge was again subjected to ad-
verse influences, but IL had learned how
to profit by adversity,and its progress was
but temporarily retarded.

This story, so dramatically told, is made the

better than sacrifice. To hearken than the fat
of rams. Rebellion is as the sin of diyination.

INTRODUCTION.

Samuel is renowned as an impartial
and uncorrupted judge, and as the
fornder Of the schools of the prophets
ha was the leader of his nation in edu-
cation. hut it is as a PROPHET that ne
f,lflled his highest mission.--The
an;rit Of prophecy in him was not prevls-
ion 90 much as it was an impulse OF con-
science. He was the fearless spokesman
for Jehovah. He voiced the spiritual
consciousness of the nation. lie had
given to the people, in answer to tnelr
demand, human king. He had faitn
fully endeavored that the royalty OF MS
nation should be. as nearly as possible
natterned after the Theocracy. But
Samuel himself never bowed his soul to
the king he had created. For him there
was no king save the Eternal. When
occasion required, as we shall see, ne
was the same stern judge of his peoples
king that he was OF his hayward people
themselves. His judgments were as I'M
martial and as absolute as the nature OF
things. From first to last Samuel was
faithful to his character as servant
of God, a servant of conscience.

FELL With 4 LANDSLIDE.
Two DWeIIing-H0useS REined on
SHRnySide AVecue.
The Buildings TumbIed Down an Embark.
ment Yesterday and We're Totally
Wrecked.

Two dwelling-houSes went down with a
landslide on Sunnyside avenue, opposite
the electric power-house, yesterday after
noon, and were left like ocean wrecks on a
rocky shore.
The ruined buildings were the property
of Charles Lufsky, who conducts a saloon
at the crossing of the Southern Pacific Coast
and the Ocean Beach Electric Railroad
tracks.
Both houses were occupied just prior to
the wrecking of them. The largest had
seven rooms and was inhabited by a family
named Kesterman, consisting of the hus-
band, wife and four children. The smaller
house had four rooms and was occupied by
a bachelor named Fraser.
Late Tuesday night Fraser felt his domi-
Gle sliding away with him, so to speak
and he became alarmed He had gone to
bed for the night, but that peculiar sliding
motion, as if he were slowly drifting with
the tide, alarmed him to such an extent
that he arose, dressed himself and went
outside to see what was going on.
He had no sooner stopped from his door
way than the house took a slide down the
bank distance OF about two feet. Fraser
quickly removed his personal property and
left the house at midnight.
The Kestermans did not feel themselves
carried away until yesterday about noon.
At that hour it became evident that the
house in which they dwelt was doomed to
tumble down the steep embankment dis
lance OF thirty feet or more. They took
the alarm Just in time to save themselves.
All through the afternoon the house
continued to move down the steep incline.
The high embankment of sand and gravel
steadily gave way and tumbled down into
the street. Finally, about o'clock yester-
day evening the two houses fell with
tremendous mass of sand and gravel and
broke up completely. The mass of debris
hardly bears any resemblance to the build
iHgs that once stood on the hill.
The lumber is there but it is badly
broken and shattered and is of little value
except for fuel The large house cost $500
and the smaller one was valued at $1,000.
Both buildings were new, having been
erected within the last two years.
The dwelling-house of B. Amrock, di-
rectly opposite the power-house and only a
short distance from the ruined dwellings
of Mr.. Lufssy, is in imminent danger of
falling and may go to wreck at any mo-
ment.
The ground beneath its underpinning
has fallen away to such an extent that one
end of the building is almost without sup
port.
The landslide was due to two distinct
causes, both working together for destruc-
ton. One is the cutting away of the en-
bankment in the work of grading the street
and the other was the long and abundant
fall of rain, which turned the hillsides in
that vicinity into moving, palpitating
masses of mortar and mud.

THE MAYORS FIRST VETO.
SutrO DiSapprOVes Of an Amended
Fire Order.
The Measure Was introduced by Super.
visor Dundon in the Outgoing
Board.

Mayor Sutro filed his first veto message
yesterday. The measure which met with
his executive disapproval was partly the
work of the last Board of Supervisors and
partly of the present board. The Tesolu-
ton vetoed was but recently passed.
The resolution was introduced by Super
visor Dundon in the last Board of Super
visors and was passed to print by that
body. No objections were made by the
Fire Department to the resolution, though
no re commentator of its passage was
given by Chief Sullivan or the Fire Mar
shall The resolution thus inherited by the
present board was finally passed at the
meeting before the last Mayor Sutro had
until next Friday in which to veto the
measure.
The veto will not be opened until next
Monday, so his reasons are unknown. 1t
is believed that he does not think it wise
TO exempt so large portion of the city from
the ire limits, especially in such ioca-
ton.
The order exempts that portion of the
city and county bounded by line drawn
at right angles from Howard to Folsom
street, 137:6 feet northwesterly from and
parallel with First street, the southerly
line OF Howard street and the waters of the
bay. The order only exempts frame build
lngs to be erected for manufacturing pur-
poses.
1t states that in order that our manu-
featuring establishments should be fostered
and encouraged an opportunity should be
afforded to construct suitable buildings for
the prosecution of the several manufactures
at limited cost which will allow
of facilities much wanted The order
provides that the frame buildings must be
constructed of heavy timbers, to be covered
with corrugated or sheet iron, or cemented
plaster, and that the Chief of the Fire De-
partment should supervise all buildings to
be erected under the resolution.
