made a unanimous petition to Rev. DR..
Pond, the superintendent, to that effect.
Il told them l could work just as well
without becoming a reverend" said Jee
Gam, yesterday, "but they insisted, so
had to give in; but | shall keep on Just the
same at the mission"
The ceremony of Jee Cams ordination
took place in the evening at Bethany
Church. of which DR.. Pond is pastor, but
the Congregational council met in the par
lors of the church in the afternoon to
catechise the candidate for ordination and
hear his confession of faith.
Delegates and pastors were present from
most of the Congregational churches in
San Francisco and Oakland. By unani-
nous consent Rev. Dr. Mooar was chosen
moderator, though all present did not
know the reason for this choice till later in
the proceedings. Rev. William Tubb hav-
ing been elected scribe to the council Jee
Gam was admitted and requested to give
some account OF his early life and con-
version.
He is middle-aged, intelligent-looking
Chinaman of more acquiline cast of
features than most of his countrymen, and
he made an address in excellent English
that was listened to with deep interest by
those present.
In his far-away village, eighty miles
from Canton, Jee Gam, as boy of Ia, had
heard marvellous rumors about the
golden mountains" that lay Gin a bar
barous, strange and very far. but exceed
ingly rich country" He told of his ad-
ventures in getting to this land, where he
had been led to believe that he would only
have to pick up the gold and return, and
instead of dwelling on his disappointment,
he described how he had gone to live as
cook in family where he had found what
he now considered infinitely more precious
than mountains Of gold"
Jee Gam alluded to the people who were
responsible for his conversion as "Dr.
Mooars family" and the interest felt by
those present in the convert redoubled as
they realized that the man who had bap-
tized him a quarter of century before
was acting as moderator of the council
that was to pronounce upon his fitness for
ordination.
The candidate answered all the theologi-
cal questioning without hesitating, and,
having read his confession of faith, was re-
quested to withdraw. Ten minutes later
he was called back to the room and DR..
Mooar, shaking him warmly by the hand
said:
"My brother, it gives me great pleasure
to say that the council is unanimous Units
decision that you are fit for ordination u
Il am also glad, but do not feel my
self worthy" said Jee Gam humbly, as be
responded to the handshake and wiped q
suspicious moisture from his eyes. Con.
gratulations on all hands followed, and
the council adjourned.
Bethany Church was decorated with
flowers and filled with an interested con.
gregation in the evening.

about fifteen years ago. He made big
mark for himself in his early reportorial
days on the Alta.
Some ten years ago he went on the Ex-
amlner, and remained there, with the ex-
ception of flying trip on Eastern papers,
to the time he went to New York for treat
ment. Harris best work was done on
what is called the police and water front
details.
He was the best all-round reporter in
the City. and that, of course, means on the
PACING Coast. No one could touch him as
marine reporter. Mr. Hearst appreciated
disabilities in that line and tried his best
to keep him in that position. Harris
talents were of such broad character,
upon to do special work. He occupied
number OF official positions on the Exam
liner. He was City editor number OF
times. He was assistant City editor at the
time he went East last.
Hart was unfortunate in his marriage
and some five years ago he and his wife
were divorced.
Eight months ago Hart noticed slight
swelling on his right jaw which gradually
increased in size. He thought it was
tumor and joklngly made arrangements to
go to the hospital and have a piece of him
self cut off. After the operation the sad
truth came out. Under the microscope it
was shown beyond doubt that he was
suffering from malignant cancer. Hart
bore up heroically when the truth was
told him. His large number of friends
called TO see him and did all in their power
to comfort him and make the time pass as
agreeably as possibly.
In spite of the best efforts of the local
physicians the disease advanced. AS a
last resource his stanch friends sent him
to special hospital in New York. where

CARPENTERS AND JO|NERS,
There Will Be No Strike
Ordered on the Ferry
Depot Work.
The District Council States That No
Such Move Was Ever Con-
templated.

Several articles have recently been pub
lished to the effect that the carpenters
unions of this City would cause trouble if
let out on contracts. The idea implied
was that being State work it should be
done under an old law at the rate of 81 a
day of eight hours, and if the work should
be let out to contractors the journeymen
would only receive what the contractor
would pay, or the regular union rates at
the most The statement was that COM
mlttee from the carpenters and joiners'
unions had called upon Labor Commits
sioner Fitzgerald and had intimated that
If the Harbor Commissioners let out the
contract, instead of having the work done
by the day, thus depriving the carpenters
of the opportunity of earning 81 day, the
un ions would call all of its members en-
gagged on the work out on strike.
Last evening the District Council OF Car
penters and Joiners, representing the four
unions In this City, held a meeting and de-
nounced as untrue statements that strike
or trouble of any kind was contemplated
and they issued the following card:
Owing to the fact that articles have appeared
in the daily press intimating that q general
strike is about to be ordered among the San
francisco carpenters we take this opportunity
OF refuting all such statements. While we are
using our best endeavors to build up our or
ganization and are meeting with the greatest
success still we feel certain of lettering oul
condition without using arbitrary measures by
throwing our men on the street by ordering q
general strike.
In the past all differences between the con.
tractor and the journeymen have been settled
amicably, and we anticipate doing business
the same in the future. The card system that
we have introduced among the carpenters has
proved most successful, and as we do not an.
ticlpate nor sanction any trouble there is nc
occasion for the pubic to become alarmed by
unauthorized statements.
The council did not know anything
about the matter until the published re-
ports were read, and at present they do
not propose to authorize or be responsible
for any strike or other trouble. They say
ii any carpenters go out on strike, they
will do SO on their own responsibility. 1t
is argued that it would be the height OF
folly, now that the building trades are re-
covering little from the recent depres-
sion, to do anything that would cause
trouble and throw the men out OF work
again. Besides it is their plan to effect
changes by more pacific means than by
striking.

THE SAUSAL|TO Ian TERN,
1t Is to Be SuppIanted by EleC-
tricity for Lighting the
Streets.
A Proposition Made the Town TruS-
teeS-OrdinanCeS and
Protests.

The Sausalito lantern is doomed. 1t is
to be relegated to the caves and the cellars
and supplanted by electric lights. The
Sausalito lantern is a novelty. 1t is purely
local affair, home made and composed of
four parts-a candlestick, a lamp chimney,
piece of wire and the stub end of can
die. 1t has in the past answered the pur-
pose for which it was designed, of aiding
pedestrians to keep in the middle of the
road. But since they have builded side
walks in Sausalito the pedestrians do not
keep in the middle of the road: they take
to the sidewalks, when they can find them.
And that is why they want electricity.
They say they are tired of carrying their
lights in their hands. Up in Mill Valley
they say Sausalito is putting on airs. But
Mill Valley is said to be jealous. Anyway
Sausalito insists upon the electricity, and
the Board of Town Trustees favor the prop
oSltlon.
A communication was read at the meet
ing of the board on Monday night from
DIR. Case, who represents San Francisco
parties, in which 1T was proposed to put
in an electric lighting plant, provided sub
scribers can be secured for 500 lamps. The
rate suggested is less than cents per
lamp per hour. Arc lights will be fur
nished at the same rate.
The board very promptly informed DR..
Case that it was ready to consider direct
business proposition from his man, but
that it must be a definite one and not a
set of glittering generalities.
DIR. Case assured the board that his com
munication was intended merely as a
''feeler." He was informed by General
Dickinson, president of the board, that
''feeers'' were incompetent, irrelevant and
immaterial; the board wanted direct evil
dence of intention.
The general had arrived on the late boat
direct from the distressing atmosphere OF
the Durrant trial and was not in humor-
Gus mood. But he was in a mood for
electric lights and referred the proposition
to the Street Committee with instructions
to report at the October meeting of the
board.
Ordinance AZ, providing for the establish
ment of grades of Caledonia and Easterby
streets, found no protestants and was
passed till the next regular meeting.
Protests were offered to the closing OF
South and Water streets, through the Pa
cific Yacht Club grounds. The protests
were based on the fact that property-own-
ers had made their purchase with the
understanding that the streets were to be
kept open. The point was also made that
they had not been properly notified OF
the intention of the board. President
Dickinson held the point as to notification
well taken and the matter was postponed
indefinitely.
Contractor Raisch was granted % days
further time to complete street work.
The board adjourned till the first Mon
day in October.

A Grand Choral Concert.

A choral concert of 400 voices was given yes
terday evening in Metropolitan Temple, under
the direction of William L. Tomlins, and, con-
sidering the short time which the Chicago con-
ductor has had with the singers under his
training, the work they performed was remark
able.
The numbers included part songs and
choruses. Gounod's "Here by Babylon's
Wave was one of the best sung numbers and
was loudly encored the singers clapping as
loudly as the audience, though no repetition
was given. The ''Halielujah" chorus was also
sung in very satisfactory manner. The other
numbers included ''The Glory of the Lorl' and
GLORY to God'' from 'The Messiah" as well as
part songs by Mendelssohn, Garrett, etc.

verely burned by discharge of powder at
the Presidio yesterday afternoon.
Mr.. Burke was strolling in front of the

She GOC Kicked.

The experience of a Phoenix society lady at the carnival re- gently held in that city, the Re publican says: "To distinguish herself more thoroughly on carnival night she adopted the Sunday costume of a younger brother and arming herself with a small bag of flour, joined the masqueraders. She was having more fun than she had ever had in her young life be- fore, and she was among the most reckless of the reyelers. Early in the evening she approached an unmasked, we'll dressed and well built young man, and tried to blind him with a handful of flour. Tn her excitment her hand was rough ly brought into contact with her victims nose, fingered by the smarting flour and the temporary impression that his nose had been knocked off he seized his assailant by the shoulder, swung her around i'll position and kicked. The toe of his we'll shod foot landed with ter rife force upon the-well, the seat of that younger brothers pants The young lady in the pants was confused for moment She imag ined she was an aeronaut without a balloon, but at length she returned to the sidewalk. To ayoung lady to be kicked is an awful ind1gnity, but in this case the indignity was attended by severe physical pain, so there were tears of shame and anger behind her mask. She took no other part in the reyerly but went home.
