FROM THE EDITORS.
They Are Having Great Time on Their
Annual Outing

Mackinac Island, Mich, Aug. IS
The members of the Wisconsin State
Press association lett Sault Ste. Marie
at 5 o'clock this morning after good
nights rest in the harbor. The trip
across Lake Huron TO Cheboygan,
Mich, was quite rough and nearly all
were seasick. The steamer arrived at
Cheboygan at noon and remained tour
hours, taking on wood and groceries,
and giving the editors an opportunity
to inspect that thriving little city and
its points of interest. A stop was made
long enough to land the Indian pilot,
who accompanied them from Mack
mac. Before the steamer reached
Sault Ste. Marie, government official
came on board and notified Capt. G..
B. Hart that he had violated one of the
rules, by passing boat in the mar
rows, and that he was fined 5000
Capt Hart had never been there be-
fore, and the law being comparative
~ new one, although known to pilot,
who forgot to mention 1t to him,
pleaded ignorance, but the fine still
stands. That, with the damage done
to the steamer Fannie C. Hart at
Mackinac, by which the engine was
wrecked, made the captain anything
but happy. The party left tonight
for Escanaba There is large amount
of amusement talent on board and the
time passed pleasantly. The trip has
been a very enjoyable one.

tured and her body badly bruised. She
was removed to her home in an uncon-
scIous condition, and at late hour last
night had not recovered her senses.
Mrs. j. Boucher Of 718 Oak street. carry
ing her baby and accompanied by her hus-
band, was sitting on the after part of the
car. She was thrown off. Her left leg
was hurt and she was otherwise injured
internally. The infant was also bruised
on several parts of its body.
/. Koshland of S0S Pine street had his
ankle dislocated and fractured, also re-
ceiving other injuries.
Miss Horton OF 3415 Point Lobos avenue
was thrown to the ground and received
cuts on the face and foot.
Miss Marie Leonhardt of 1914 Broderick
street was slightly hurt by falling on the
track.
With great crowds standing at every
street crossing waiting for the cars that
were already crowded to overfiowing, the
Sutro road from Central avenue to the
Cliff House went through its first Sunday.
From morning till night mass of people
surged around and piled in and out of
those cars after making it impossible for
one crowd to take the place of the other.
The coaches would move off with their
mass OF passengers, slowly because the
motorman knew the new machinery and
stiff road curves would not stand any sort
OF speed. The nickel fare and the bright
sunday after weeks of cloud and rain drew
the thousands to the warm, bright beach,
the new baths and Cliff House.
ABOUT O'Clock in the aftarpoop nor An
overcrowded with passengers, went off the
rails at the car house on Thirtv-thjrd
avenue. The coach was bound towards
the City and rounding the sharp curve at
the corner of the Pythian Cemetery the for
Waro trucks left the track. The car was
moving slowly but it was on the down
grade and the great weight of the load of
passengers drove it ahead over the ties and
into the sand. The people on the open
portions and hanging on the outside were
shaken off in all directions and in the
panic those inside the coach making frantic
and needless efforts to escape made the
confusion all the greater.
BY the force of the collision many of the
passengers were thrown off and several
Were hurt, as already described.
Immediately the superintendent of the
road, who was at the carhouse, telegraphed
Tor Or. Frank B. Petrie, the physician of
the company, and for carriages for the in
lured people. Everything possible was
done for the disabled passengers by the
railroad officials, and upon the arrival of
the hacks they were sent to their respect

Suiro visited all the injured passengers
last evening.
The car was not badly damaged, and by
inquiry among the passengers themselves

YOUNG ENDEAVORERS.
They Have DR.. Brown as a Guest
and Are Addressed by
Him.

DIR. Brown attended the meeting of the
Christian Endeavorers last night at the
First Congregational Church. and assured
them that he still felt that his lie was con-
secrated to God. The young people made
no comment, although at the close of the
meeting several of the leading spirits ex-
pressed surprise that DR.. Brown should
have insisted on being with them under
the circumstances.
The society has taken a very decided
stand. When DIR. Brown announced his
intention of occupying the pulpit, large
proportion of the society felt that it would
be unwise to even meet in the church and
arranged TO have their meeting at the resi-.
dence OF Miss Myrtle Simpson on Leaven-
worth street. But when the fact that
Professor r. r. Lloyd was to preach Sun
days sermon was given out, this project
was given over.
There was meeting of a portion of the
society yesterday morning. 1t was there
brought out that the organization felt it
lndellcate, under the circumstances. for
DR.. Brown TO preach until he had cleared
himself of the charges now pending.
although they were desirous that he should
have every chance to accomplish this end.
The Sabbath school teachers, who all be-
long TO the Christian Endeavor Society.
were in attendance with their classes in
the morning. In the evening thev assem-
bled in the large schoolroom for the weekly
endeavor meeting.
The surprise was very general when DR.
Brown, his wife and son entered. Dr
Brown took front seat. Mrs. Brown and
her son were seated IN the body of the
room.
Miss Simpson presided at the meeting.

suicidal, and am afraid he will realize
that only when it is too late"
Deacon Barnard was asked, on Saturday,
for the records of the joint committee and
other documents from the Bay Association.
Particular inquiry was made concerning
the copy of the minutes of the last-named
institution, which DR.. Williams said had
been tnrned over to him.
Deacon Barnard picked out the paper
from pile of others and made move
ment as though to deliver it, when it oc-
Cured to him to look it over. This was
the first time he had ever read the docu-
ment and his face showed plainly the sur
prise he felt.
"This is very peculiar" he said. and he
Immediately folded up the paper, and re-
fused to allow it to be read. He refused to
discuss the paper at all, except to say that
there was mistake somewhere.
The committee has the power to open
the case at any time, and it is understood
that meeting will be held tonight to
discuss the situation.

TIRED OF STRUGGLING.
Louis Evian, an Aged Frenchman, Poor
and Depressed, Tries to Take
His Life.

Louis Evian, lodger at the Suffer-
street House, presents a pitiable spec
tacle as he lies on cot at the Receiving
Hospital. His face. white from loss of
blood, expresses the hopelessness of man
at the end of his resources.
At one time Evian was a prosperous
tradesman, with laundry on O'Farrell
street and bank account at Belloc
Freres. This was all lost. A month ago
his wife died. This was the crowning
misfortune. Despondent though he was,
he still sought employment. He is 50
years of age. and at every place he met the
answer that he was too old. At last he de.
cided to give up the struggle.
AT Z o'clock yesterday morning he tried
to cut an artery in his right arm. To save
the bed clothing from stains he stretched
his arm over a porcelain vessel after hav-
ing slashed it in several places. Then he
awaited death.
But he had not cut deep enough. No
arteries were severed, and he was discov-
cred in his room at IL O'Clock, weak from
loss of blood but still alive. An ambulance
was at once summoned and he was sent to
the hospital.

CROWDS AT THE BEACH.
The Unusual Rush to the Home Of
the Seals,

The Unusual Rush to the Home Of
the Seals.
AT no time within year has there been
such rushiof people to the ocean beach
as there was yesterday. AS early as 8
o'clock in the morning the cars of the
Sutro, the Cliff House and Park and Ocean
lines were crowded with people bound for
the oceanside. With the advancesof the
day there was an increase of travel The
cars of the new line were not only crowded
to their capacity, but venturesome men
and boys clambered up the sides and
rode on the roof, and so great was the
weight on them that roof supports creaked
and at times it seemed as if they would be
crushed In.
AT each terminus, as soon as an outward
bound train reached it, there was a strug-
gle between those who wanted to land and
those who wanted to get aboard. 1t was
pull, haul and crush and many who
wanted to get off were actually forced to
fight their way through the crowd wanting
to get on. For time it was apparent that
there was reversal of the railroad rule,
''all the traffic will BEAR for the cars
would not bear the traffic; that is there
were not cars enough to accommodate the
crowds.
At the Park and Ocean terminus, when
the 3:15 train from Stanyan street arrived,

the good, and as illustrations she spoke of
those who watch for evil IN children, SER
wants and neighbors, and of those who
criticize books harshly. ''All this" she
said, "distorts and twists the Judgment.
"The rudest hand can pull down and
destroy; it does not require much skill to
do this. 1t is easier to criticize than to
commend. 1t takes a master hand to
point out the beauties rather than the de-
fects.
Max Muller says: 1T is the heart that
makes the true critic, not the nose.'
''But the power of good" she continued,
"is present to heal, in spite of all carpers
and quibblers, and ali power for good is of
God, no matter who is present hence; one
with God is always a majority"
The San Francisco call., 1896-02-03

it was learned that most of the persons
hurt received their injuries by wildly
jumping off when the car left the rails.
They scrambled from the plunging coach
in confused and frightened body, and in
the words OF bystander, ''They fell every
way"
II exceedingly regret the accident"
said Mayor Sutro to a CALL reporter, at
the baths, ''but we have been handicapped
all day by the difficulties of new and un-
tried road, new employees, etc., and also
by the terrible crowds of people who all
came down upon US at once. They would
crowd the cars beyond their capacity, and
the trainmen could hardly handle the
coaches. We have been as careful as we
could, but you see the thing occurred"

MRS. COOPER'S CLASS.
The Attendance Was Larger Yester-
day Afternoon Than Ever
RAfOra

The attendance yesterday at the Bible
class conducted by Mrs. Sarah B. Cooper
was very large, in fact larger than any of
the members remember it to have been
before.
''It was most beautiful lesson" said
one enthusiastically. There were be-
tween three and four hundred here" No
resolutions were passed whatever.
81 would not allow such thing" Mrs.
Cooper explained. 81 wish only kindli-
ness and harmony to exist here. Nothing
has been said and nothing will ever be
said you may be assured, in our Glass;
In the lesson expounded by Mrs. Coo per
she dwelt on the following points:
"True faith overcomes all obstacles"
'There is hope for all men," Human
forgiveness is the tyre and assurance of
divine forgiveness" "Jesus was always
speaking words of hope and cheer"
She said that people who watch for the
evil all the time are not likely to discover

She had not intended to lead, but she
consented to do so as soon as she under
stood that DIR. Brown was not TO occupy
the pulpit and would probably not be pres
ent at their meeting.
As is usual the latter part OF the meet
ing was given up to those who wished to
consecrate themselves to the work OF the
society. One member thought the habit
that some had of consecrating themselves
to the work at each meeting was hardly
necessary. When all had spoken who
wished, DR.. Brown arose.
His statements were particularly signifi-
cant by his position.
''I am quite in accord with our brother
who thinks one conservation only is neces-
sary," he said. 81 consecrated myself to
the work of this society long ago. | have
never felt that l have failed in the obliga-
tions then took If had done so | can
assure you would not be here tonight. I
believe honestly and with my whole heart
that my life has been consecrated to
Christ"
He spoke of the work ne hoped to do and
assured his hearers that il was not till
they should devote themselves to the work
of the Savior that they would realize how
sweet and how full were the lives of those
thus consecrated. Then large lady arose
and quoted from the Sermon ON the
Mount:
Blessed are the poor in spirit; for theirs is
the kingdom of heaven.
Blessed are they that mourn; for they shall
be comforted.
Blessed are the meek; for they shall inherit
the earth.
A song and few addresses followed.
The audience was preparing to dlsband
when DR.. Brown again arose and called
out:
Il wish to make an explanation
There was an InsraDt hueh The eYn1a-
nation was not what was anticipated. He
explained that all were invited cordially
to attend the regular evening service in
the upper part of the church.
There was an assembling in little groups
before the light was turned out. Some in
having attended the meeting when he
knew the feeling of the majority of the
society.
81 was surprised" said the president,
''to see him. But, then, Just said to
myself, hes only our guest, now,' and l
went on with my work of Leading. You
see it was different from what it would
have been if we had felt that he was to
really be over us all.
There was nothing in the evening service
at the church that suggested even in
directly anything in connection with the
trouble. DIR. Brown and his family occu-
pied q rear pew on the center aisle. The
church was not we'll filed.
AT the conclusion of the service DIR.
Brown remained standing in his pew and
held an informal levee. As the congrega-
ton filed past him, large numbers stopped
to shake his hand warmly and make some
encouraging remark. There were others
though, who passed him coldly. They
looked over his head or at the other side o1
the church. 1t was noticeable that DR.
Brown made no mistake in those to whom
he proffered his hand.

Fell From the Train.

John Rodden, shoemaker living at 923
Harrison street, met with severe acci-
dent last evening at the ocean beach,
With hundred or more people he rushed
to catch the last train going to town. The
train moved out of the depot before Rod
den reached the platform and he made
flying leap ior the step as it passed him.
He missed his footing and was hurled to
the ground. Both legs and knees were
badly cut and bruised. The injured man
was sent to the Receiving Hospital. 1t will
be week or more before Rodden will be
able to walk.

Meaning of Dictionaries.

It seems that the courts decline to abide by the high-handed way in which the dictionaries settle the spelling and meaning of Q word. If court is good for anything, 1t certainly is in sitting in Judgment on questions and deter mining what Is what, even In words. One recent decision establishes that when a man Is hanged by mob it is an accident. To this critic takes ex- captions, yet if he had ever served on a jury that was trying to find out any thing about a mob he must have been convinced that 1t was an accident of the most accidental nature. A child whose parents are living has been de clared to be an orphan" and man whose life insurance was taken out before he was married was judicially declared to have effected 1t as a hus- band" The most surprising and de lightful of these lawful definitions of words Is the fact that our highest court has declared that an unmarried woman is a single man." This is
 without any reference to whether she wears boomers or not. Now that a single woman is declared a "man" in the eyes of the law, the bachelor girl has nothing else to sigh for.-New Or
