Incompatibility of Views the Cause.

Rabbi Julius Fryer surprised the Con-
gregation Ohabai Shalome yesterday by
announcing at service that his resignation
had been handed In few days previously,
and that Monday next he would leave for
his old home in Cleveland, Ohio, for rest,
prior to accepting pastorate in the East
recently rendered him.
The cause OF this was that he was of the
reform school and failed to overcome the
conservatism of the older members of the
church, largely in the majority
His pastorate has lasted only year,
but In that time he has done much in the
cause OF education in local Jewish circles.
He has started here branch of the
National Chautauqua Society, which is in
f1ourishing condition, and has organized
branch of the Ladies' Council, with a

representations of Beardsley's Titan

maidens, but the idea is a brand-new one
to San Francisco, and it isexpected that
society will turn out in force to welcome
it. The ladies having the affair in charge
are the entertainment committee of the
Society for Christian Work of the First
Unitarian Church, of which Mrs. George
Gibbons Is president. The following

When it was first proposed to give a.
poster exhibition the ladies managed to
collect some masterpieces of modern art
as it exists on posters. But there was
difficulty In the way of putting them into
the flesh. The maidenS of BeardsIey and
his lmitators were so tearfully and won
derfully made that no California girl
could be found capable of reproducing
their nightmares. Canary colored locks,
or even scarlet hair. vas possible, with the
aid of the wigmaker. but lady with an
arm twenty-five points of the compass
out of its natural course and an attitude
that could only be achieved by contor-
zionist was something which no Cali
fornia girl could possibly reproduce, so
the Nightmares were laid on one side and
posters having a closer resem blance to
human beings were substituted in their
places.
The posters selected are those issued by
Harper's, Scribner's and Lippincott's, to
advertise either magazines or books. They
are to be shown in broad, white frame
to initiate margin, and the backgrounds
are painted in pastel With a strong
electric light, coming from the interior of
the frame, the pictures have striking
likeness TO real posters. There will be
twelve of them.
''The Grasshoppers' is a poster issued
for new novel by Mrs. Andrew Dean. It
represents shivering little maiden in
snowstorm, with her mandolin hanging
useless by her side. The idea is based on
Esop's fable of the improvident little
grasshopper who sang all summer and
asked the industrious ant in vain for food
when the snow came. This part is to be
taken by Miss Sophie Brannen.

Francisco Fernandez, the boy whom
Officer Hooper found eating garbage from
waste barrel week or so ago, has been
a source of much thought to the officers
of the Society for the Prevention of
Cruelty to Children, who have tried hard
to find place for him. When found the
youngster was suffering from severe and
loathsome form OF eczema. He was taken
to the County Hospital, where the disease
was gotten partially under control.
However. the County Hospital has no
children's ward, and yesterday the society
was notified that young Fernandez would
have to be taken elsewhere. Officer Nc
Murray took the lad, so to speak, from
Herod to Plate before he could find a
place for him. The Youths Directory
and Boys and Girls Aid Society officers
did not dare to receive the youngster,
through fear that he might infect their
wards, as he has infected other children
with whom he has been placed. At last
temporary accommodation for him was
found at the Children's Hospital, where
he is at present.

All For Trusts.

The sheep business IN this country
is not going TO prove euch a wonder
fully prosperous one after all under
the Mckinley administration. A
New York paper says: The manu-
featuring trusts want free raw ma
terial and a high protective tariff on
manufactured articles, and they will
come very near getting it. The
Dingley blu is fair estimate of what
may be expected in that line, and the
wool men will find that when Nc
Kiuley adjusts the tariff what they
want and what they will get will be
two vastly different thing. Again,
Senator John Sherman has intimated
that it would be impoGtic to tinker
very much with the tariff, and that
IL the mills are to be kept open the,
must have the advantage OF raw ma.
teriale. The truth OF the matter is
viewed in any light possible, it be-
comes moro apparent each day that
the coming administration is going Il
be OF the trusts. by the trusts, and 70,

ANOTHER pension VETO
Bill for the Relief of a Remarked
Widow Disapprovad.
President Views 1t as IL Govern
mental Insurance on the Lilo
of the Second Husband

The President yesterday returned to
the House without his signature a bill
granting n pension To Carolin. ID. Mowatt,
as the widow Of Alfred B. Soule, ma ior
in a Maine regiment, VINO died IN So4.
The veto message. recites the fact that
the beneficiary. was pensioned originally
at $50 month as the widow OF Alfred
Il. Soule, major in the Maine regiment
who died IN 1864.
she forfeited this pension when in 1863
she married Henry I. Mowatt. Nine years
later, in 1878, Mowatt died. The presi-
dent continues:
Though twenty-seyen years have passed
since the beneficiary ceased TO be the
widow of the deceased soldier, and though
she has been the widow OF Heury T.
Mowatt for eighteen years, ii is proposed
by the bill under consideration again To
place her name upon the pension rolls as
widow OF Alfred 3. Soule. late major OF
tine wenty-third regiment Maine Vol
unteerS.'
OF course the propriety of the law
| which terminates the pension of so.-
diers widow upon her Temarriage will
| not be questioned. | suppose no one would
| suggest the rene wal OF such pension during e
| the life tine or her second husband. Her
pensionable relation to the government as
| the widow of her deceased soldier hus-
| band, under any reasonable pension theory,
| absolutely terminates with her remarriage.
III she IS to be again pensioned be-
| cause her second husband does not sur
| yiye her, the transaction has more the
| complexion of an adjustment OF gov
| ernmeutal insurance on the life OF the
| second husband, than the allo vance of
| pension on just and reasonable grounds.
Legislation of this description is sure
| to establish precedent which it will be
| difficult to disclaim and which, If
| folio wed, cannot fail to lead to abuse ~
The beneficiary OF the bill is a Constit-
| uent of Rep resentative Sulloway, nd
| after the message had been received he
| sent the following telegram:
Caroline d. Mowatt, Manchester, N II -
| / regret to inform you that Mr.. Cleveland
| has vetoed the bill giving you a pension.
| In Christian spirit and with desire to
| create within him a spark of patriotism l
| wish for the remainder of his life he
| might receive such treatment and rations
| as our soldiers had at Andersonviile.
