pairing for Next Tuesdays

The men who will appear before the
Knickerbocker Athletic Club next Tues
day evening appear to be tit to fight for
their lives.
visit was made yesterday to the
quarters of Zeicler. Elmer. Connolly and
Case, and the men were found hard at
work training for the events.
Zeigler and Elmer are working together
aud the result is both mep are in the pink
of condition. The little Quaker" does
OF underestimate ConnolIy's ability and
is therefore determined to 90 into the
ring prepared for any KIND OF fight. Elmer
realizes tn at victory over Case will ad-
vance him in his chosen profession and he
will make every effort to win.
Connolly is training at the Seal Rock
House and is down 10 weight.
Case was seen at Carr's yesterday, and
he looks very much different from the
man who defeated Agnew. His muscles
are as hard as nails, and he looks fit to
enter the ring at a moments notice

PUTTING Words
TN HIS MOUTH
The Examiner Misquotes
the Lecture Of Rev.
Mr.. Bliss.
Trying to Bring Him and His
Cause Into Disrepute in
This City.
The Reverend Gentleman Says That
He Has Been Totally Mis-
represented.

No small stir has been caused among re-
ligious people and among people not usu-
ally interested in religious questions by
statem ments which Rev. Mr.. Bliss is re-
ported by the Examiner 10 have made in
a paper read before :he Congregational
ministers on Monday morning. He is re-
ported to have said that the ministers OF
San Francisco were not worthy to unloose
the shoes OF some of the anarchists, and
that Dr. Dix OF New York City was doing
onel 1ngersoll.
Mr.. Bliss was seen last night by rep
resentative of THE CALL, who asked him
if he had been correctly reported. Mr..
Bliss answer was that he had been totally
misre presented. He stated that the only
reference of any kind that he made to the
clergymen OF San Francisco was that the
trade unionists felt aggrieyed that the
ministers had not given more attention to
their circular in regard to the miners.
As for DR.. Dix's name, DR.. Bliss did not
even mention 1t in his paper. lie did not
even call Trinity Church plutocra attic. He
simply said that Trinity corporation in
spite of all the good it was doing by re-
fusing to furnish lis tenements with the
moderate amount of water required by
law and fighting the requisition in the
courts, had, he thought, done more for
the spread of atheism even than Colonel
Ingersoll or any other one institution In
New York City.
What he said of the anarchists was
that in sacrifice for their mistaken ideals
they sometimes were greater heroes than
clergymen for the truth. He said hat
among these mistaken anarchists were
some truer at heart than many clergy men
and some whose snoes ministers were not
wort y to unloose. Some regarded this
statement as extreme, put the gen"ral
tone of Mr.. Bliss paper the club indorsed
as spiritual and Christian.
The two papers which reported Mr..
Bliss paper declared. one that majority
of the club indorsed his statements and
the other that nearly every speaker in
dorsed them. It is patent that he must
have been mlsrepresented, for no minis
terial club would have Endorsed what Mr..
Bliss is said to have said.
According tn Dr. RAIDER. the president of
the club Mr.. Bliss statement of what he
said was correct. Mr.. RAIDER states that
| Mr.. Bliss has preached in some of the
! largest churches of most Of our leading
cities and comes Endorsed by such men as
| Bishop HUNTINGTON, DR. Rain sford, Pro
fessor Ely, DR.. Newton and many others
as we'll known. 1t seems to have been a
| bad case of Misrepresentation at which
some papers have jumped to make SEN

the young natives. Old-timers will re-
member tie enthusiasm with which the
tiremen of the golden DAYS plunged
equally reckless into fun or fire.
Sequoia Parlor, with its band and its
light revealed under bushels of gayy
colored paper lanterns, made a good
showing of young men with a wholesale
capacity for the good things of life here
as we'll as at Santa Rosa, and an un-
wontedly large mum Der of handkerchiefs
were waved at them by pretty girls-the
same girls who waved their perfumed
linen at the boys of FL Dorado Parlor-
and at the delegation from the warm belt
of the Mission 10000.
There were many other features that
made the parade a sweet thing to look
upon. There were straw hats ana paper
lanterns and Japanese parasols, the latter

and too ardent beams of the planet Venus.
that looked down upon the boys with a
glad some smile.
As the boys went on board the boat at
the Tiburon ferry the girls that were left
behind smiled through the mist of tears
and sang, "Say An Revoir, but Not

The march from the hall began at about
twenty minutes past 8 O'Clock and was

Smasher Curtis and D. M.
Delmas Do Some
Scorching.
John R. Aiken Is Described as
a Morally Leprous
Wretch.
Delmas Accuses Lloyd and Wheeler
of Betraying the Woman They Had
Promised to Protect.

1t wa, wsrm day for the plaintiffs at
torneys In the Fair case yesterday. The
defense hao the forum, and even Jud
Curtis, from whose lips honeyed words of
praise fall in an almost incessant stream,
sandwiched in scathipg arraignment OF
John r. Aiken and paid some doubtful
compliments to Reuben Ii. Lloyd. The
Police Department and the Governor also
were treated to liberal potions of the
Smasher's wrath.
There was a large crowd in attendance
at both sessions of the court. In the fore
noon chairs had been crowded in wher-
ever possible, and in the afternoon many
were not able to obtain even standing
room.
Judge Curtis made the opening address
for the defense. He spent the greater part
of his two hours in saying nice things OF
the Judge, the jury, the opposing counsel,
his associates and the legal fraternity at
large. He even paid a glowing tribute to
the California code, which caused some
thing OF merriment among the assem bled
attorneys, for with the local bar the code
is not universally popular. 1t was right
in the midst of this flow of good fellow
ship that he stopped to ray hls addresses
to Judge Aiken.
There is not single witness to sup
port this case" he said, Except this
morally ieprous wretch whose name will
be forever disgraced in the annals OF the
California bar; wherever he may roam,
the mark of the first one who ever bore
tie curse is upon him. He is Cain, Cain
forevermore. This lady fortunately was
able to prove he was lar" Judge Cur
tbs claimed that Aiken had betrayed the
onfidence OF his client.
The Smasher's arguments were largely
directed to oepreciatlng the value OF the
plaintiffs expert testimony. He con-
cluded with pathetic appeal on behalf OF
the defendant and that fair and win
some bride. that beautiful girl, that
daughter whose devotion TO her mother
has been so touching" And she who was
Miss Margaret Crayen blCshed pre,tily.
d. Nj. Delmas commenced his six hours
address at O'Clock. 1t was, as the crowd
had expected, a polished and sensational
effort. replete with biblical references and
elaborate figures.
He dwelt most of the afternoon upon
the circumstance of the present plaintiffs
having. under the advice OF Reuben d.
Lloyd and Charles G. Wheeler, petitioned
for the probate OF the pencil will. In this
connection he BITTERLY scored the attor-
neys named

There are only two professionals en-

Native Sons of the Golden West
lett for Santa Rosa last evening in
IL a blaze of red fire with rockets
kissing through the air, mock
bombs bursting in golden rain and with
bands playing, "There'll be hot time IN
the old town tonight.
They started at quarter-past from
their building on Mason street. marched
down Mason 10 Market and down Market
to the ferry. applauded all along the line
by great crowd of delighted spectators,
for the Native Sons have friends to throw
al the birds if need be. The crowd on
Market street was so great that for time
the impression prevailed among unin-
formed persons that it was joint celebra-
ton of the Fourth Of July, Christmas and
Washington's birthday rolled into one.
The buildings along the line OF march
elowed with the glare OF red fire and the
air was filled with the strains of the bands
and drum corps, while the gayly attlred
drum majors whirling their batons IN
Donny brook fashion were the ad miration
of the small boys and the big girls alike.
1t was a most successful parade, both In
point of numbers and style. While as
rule the uniform worn by the Sons was
restricted 10 the regalla collar, the snowy
sllken badges and the decorated caps,
there was sufficient variety in the differ
ent features of the turnout to make j. pic

the head OF the different parlors were

"When I'd get my paper all set up
and ready for The rress, I'd Iay the

down well in the chase, or the frame
10 which it was locked up, and then
ia call in the hired girl, She weigh

down. That's what | wanted sit.

girl came in, | linked the tyne laid

OF that the blanket, land then politely
invited the hired girl to sit down on

was just as good an impression as
you could get on any 500 hand
