BIG PADEREWSKI SALES,
Receipts Reached $4,000 at Sher-

terday.
Most Intelligent Assemblage That Has
Yet Waited for Coveted
PaSteboard.

The line of patient waters, sixty OF
whom had stood In expectant attitude at
the entrance to Sherman & Clay's music
store since A. NJ. Wednesday, dissolved
shortly prior to 4 P. NJ. yesterday. At 8
A. NJ. Wednesday eight persons were in
line. By P NJ. the NUMBER had increased
to forty and at midnight to sixty. Yester-
day morning the ranks of the three score
were swelled so that the army of ticket
buyers extended to the Sutter-street Mar
ket.
The crowd was an orderly one. The
quarreling that often attends such pre-
performance functions was conspicuousIy
absent.
One of the firm remarked that it was the
most intelligent ssemblage of the many
that have waited before its doors for the
coveted bit of pasteboard that entitled
them to hear Patti or some of the big
opera companies. Prominent musicians
ana representatives of society's charmed
inner circles were among the timers"
Bevies of fashionable ladies made unsuc-
cessful attempts to reach the curtained
nook where L. a. Morgenstern and four
assistants were disbursing tickets. but the
forbidding frown of one of the four stall
wart policemen deferred them. All appl-
cants were limited to six tickets.
BY noon yesterday the house was sold
for the 10th inst. and the most desirable
seats were disposed of for the 18th and
Nth. Tickets were sold at $5 SO and 81
but as early as yesterday afternoon tie
81 tickets for the gallery were being sold at
an advance of 200 per cent The receipts
by o'clock P. NJ. yesterday were nearly
$4,000.
HOh, the women! The women I" groaned
one OF the exhausted assistants, al would
rather sell to ten men than to one woman.
They brought their friends with them in
nearly every instance, and held converse
tons about what they should do under
the circumstances, and what it would be
well to do if the circumstances were en-
tirely different. They would have spent
an hour In such discussion if we had al
lowed them.i

JORDAN ON RICHARD ROE
He Discusses the Forces of
Heredity That Made the
Mans Character.
We Are Mosaic of ALI Our Ancestors.
The Three Great Men of the
Century.

David Starr Jordan lectured last night
before the Veterinary Department of the
University of California, corner of Post
and Fillmore streets, upon "The Heredity
of Richard Roe" who as an ordinary de-
scendant of the Anglo-Saxon race was
nsed by the speaker as an individual illus
tration of the way in which the character
istics of the ancestors are inherited by the
offspring.
During his discourse DR.. Jordan said
Richard Roe's character was a mixture of
things brought to him from various sources.
The individual is made up of diverse gifts
that have been used by others long before he
was born. Some people live in conyentionali-
ties and never do anything except what their
ancestors did.
So-callei double lives arc due to the fact
that certain tendencies are not properly
united in the individual. The art of life is to
hold ones self together Some people that we
call hypocrites are not hypocrites, but only at
times they are unable to hold their proper
character. When an individual has succeeded
in bringing these discordant elements to
gether we think of him as an individual
whole.
The ancestors leave the man mosaic and if
he works the mosaic right he has complete
picture.
People are pretty generally good. because
man for many generations has had pretty
| good ancestors.
Every man has twice as many ancestors as
| each of his parents had. The great majority of
| the people of the United States, if they could
trace their ancestors back, would find that
they embraced the nobility of England.
doubt if there is a single family that has not
through intermarriage at some time or an
other acquired blood from Italy, Germany,
France and other European nations.
Those things that his ancestors inherited and
those characteristics that they possessed were
inherited by Richard Roe.
Richard Roe couldn't inherit all his fathers
and all his mothers peculiarities, for he would
then have twice as many as each.
1t is better to have good thing yourself
than to have had an ancestor that had it.
The great question with scientists is: Did
Richard Roe's father give him what he was or
really inherits from his parents is what his
parents really were.
The secret of individual greatness is the
ability to know how to make others great The
fame that comes from large comm on-sense is
real greatness

semhled last night in Kohler d Chase's
hall on O'Farrell street at the weekly
meeting of the Society of American Social
lists. The speaker of the evening was ]. II.
Burke, who, it will be remembered, was
clerk of the Board of Supervisors in 1881.
He took FOR his subject, "a minute ex-
animation OF the rascalities of the South
ern Paclhc Railway Company, with view
or ascertalnlng how much longer the Cali
tornla public will tolerate it as private
corporation" The eloquent lecturer drew
most vivid word-picture of what he con-
sldered the lniquities of the railway COM
pany, and expressed hope that it would
soon cease to be the octopus of the West.
at the end OF the lecture Mr.. Burke pre-
sented a set of resolutions against the
funding bill. The resolutions having been
read Denis Kearney rose and moved that
they be amended so as to place the social
lists OF California distinctly and unequivo-
cally in favor of the Government owner
ship of all railways in the State. The
amendment was made as requested.
Another gentleman protested against
the word "leg-pulling" en- ployed in the
resolutions as describing tine methods of
certain alleged railway politicians. The
Objectionable expression was eliminated,
the chairman remark;ng that it would
seem more dignified to "take the legs out"
Short speeches were made by Denis

The thlrUy-seyenth quarterly and ninth

was transacted. There are fifty. 1.-TWO Chris
tian Endeavor societies in San Francisco.
and these sent 203 accredited delegates.
The hundreds interested in the work, how.
ever, had more than filed the vast audi
forum when the praise service, led by
Charles Perry, commenced. Then fol-
lowed song and prayer, and recitation in
concert of the twelfth chapter of st. PauPs
Epistle to the Romans, led by DR.. w. d.
Williams.
The reports of recording secretary, cor
responding secretary, Superintendent of
mission work, treasurer and president were
read i'll the order named. The report of
the recording secretary, Miss M. E. Silsby,
showed the union to be in excellent condi-
ton, having gained many new members
during the year. Miss Boyce, retiring SUI
perintendent of the junior work, spoke en-
couragingly OF what had been accom-
plished during the.past year and outlined
work which she though 1t would be we'll to
take up.
During the evening the question of en-
tertaining the National convention in 1897
was discussed at some length. Each society
was urged TO begin preparations at once as
the delegates were likely to be more num-
erous than at Boston last year, when 500
attended. The delegates from the local
Chinese society announced that they were
already arranging for grand reception to
be rendered the Oriental delegates who
were expected to be present next year.
The Rev. Mr.. RAIDER delivered an elo-
quent address on the general objects and
aims of the Christian Endeavor Society.
Then came the election of officers for the
ensuing year, resulting as follows: Presi-
dent, ]. A. Wiles; first vice-president,
Leon Titus; second vice-president, Miss

CALLING THE COUNCIL.
The Deacons VIII Meet To-Day to
Discuss the Preliminary Ar
rangements.

The church council to hear the defense
OF DR.. Brown, charged with immoral con-
duct, will convene within the next ten
days. At least that is the staten ent made
by ID. Gilbert Dexter, and there appears at
this time no reason to question it.
The deacons, in whose hands the matter
of calling the council rests, will meet to-
night to take such preliminary steps as
Congregational usages demand.
There will be no delay in this matter
said Mr.. Dexter yesterday. "The deacons
will meet tomorrow and formulate plan
of action, and feel safe in saving that the
council will be in session in ten days time
at the most.
at is impossible at this time for me to
say Just what churches will be selected,
though l am practically certain that they
will come from what is known as the Bay
District This includes Alameda and San
Francisco counties. 1t is our privilege,
however, to call them from any section OF
the State or United States if we should
prefer To do so.
Il cannot say as yet how many churches
will be asked to participate in the deliber-
atoms, though the number will certainly
not be less than ten. 1t may, however,
include representative from every church
in the district. Letters will be sent to the
pastors of such churches as the deacons
select. and il will then be mere matter of
selecting the day of meeting. am safe,
therefore, in assuming that the council
will have heard DR.. Browns statement
within the time mentioned"
The standing committee has as yet
taken no action on the request
of Dr.. Warren, that Mrs. Stock
toms character be Investigated. Deacon
Barnard says that the matter will
be held in allegiance until the Brown coun-
ell has made report. This is necessary. :"
he says, because 1t is impossible to do
more than one thing at a time"
The Impression has become general that
DIR. Brown preferred charges against Mrs.
Stockton many months ago. As matter
OF fact he only adopted such a course
within the last three weeks. The stand
ing committee, however, canvassed the
situation thoroughly and came to the con-
clusion that it would be unwise to make
any inquiry until the accusation against
the pastor had either been cleared away or
proven.

The New Structure Will Be Centrally
Located and Will Cost Many

There was meeting of those interested
in the building of new and magnificent
Irish American hall in San Francisco at
the Knights of the Red Branch Hail, cor
ner of O'Farrell and Mason streets, on
Tuesday evening. 1t was attended bv
representatives of the different national
enthusiasm prevailed.
The building of new hall has been
practically decided upon and money is
now being subscribed for that purpose.
The Young Mems Institute, Ancient
Order of Hibernians and all kindred
societies have joined forces and there IS
every indication that the proposition will
be carried to successful issue.
The proceeds resulting from the forth
coming celebration of st. Patrick's day
will be devoted to forming nucleus to
the building fund. After certain sum
has been raised the committee will pur-
chase site and erect large brick block.
1t is proposed to select central location.
There is a probability that the building
will have frontage on Market street.
Anyway 1t is quite certain that when the
time comes for the selection and the put
ting up of block that will be in keeping
wife the Catholic idea of doing things no
money or pains will be spared.
Archbishop Riordan and the clergy of
the Catholic church are very much inter-
ested in the new enterprise. Father Crow
ley, who is very practical and progressive
man, is actively working Tor the proposed
hall. He urged the big meeting of Irish
Americans at the X. r. B. Hall last Sum
day afternoon to take hold of the matter,
and his views were unanimously indorsed
The proposed building will be of brick
with stone trimmings, several stories in
height, and contain large assembly hall,

vindicated, his own reputation cleared of
every aspersion and peace restored to this
church and society.
DR.. Williams a few weeks ago received a
letter from Chicago divine referring to
this matter, but has never placed any
weight on the affair as being unfavorabIe
to DR.. Brown. In fact, the letter was from
friend of DR.. Brown and did not make
the reference with any idea of its being
used against the pastor of the First
Church.

for several days.
