A Thought.

At the menagerie there is a universal
laugh on the faces of the people about
the monkeys cage, while there is look
of sadness upon each sinian yisage.
Can it be that while the monkey only
appears funny to mankind, the con-
temptation Of mankind fills the monkey
soul with sorrow ?-Boston Transcript

Reliable Clothing.

Reliable Clothing of all sorts for
the wear of business men this win
ter.
Reliable, because we cannot af-
ford to keep anything else. We
are building for the future as well
as for the present, and the Cloth
ing we sell to-day will have its
effect in the sales of coming
years.
We think, therefore, that if we
are constantly spending more
money than absolutely necessary
to have our Clothing as perfect as
possible, that we are not invest
ing money needlessly. There is at
least the satisfaction of knowing
that there is nothing to hide, that
the Innings, the sewing, and count
less other details, will bear close
inspection, and all tell in the wear
and general satisfaction the goods
will give.

ing tournament is no longer in doubt
1t was won by the Casinos last nigh;
in a most decisive victory over their
only rivals, the Missions. THESE two
teams have been swapping places since
the race began and their positions were
as changeable as fall weather. Hard
" had a team been comfortably nestled
on top with the brightest prospects ana
fondest hopes for cinch, Wheh 1t
would violently bump against an ola
rut, and was ruthlessly jost.ed down
to look up to the new leaders.
Thus it was between the Missions ana
Casinos. The Casinos had held the
lead and continued to gain, while the
Missions were dropping. The latter
rallied, and up to last night had grad
ually gained on the leaders. Last
nights games were to decide the Mis-
sions' chances for the coveted pennant.
Their chances, alas, are lost. The Ca
sinos won the series, which was played
at Mission garden, and large crowd
OF spectators was there to witness the
performance. The Missions are now
tied with the Turner's for second place.
Following are the scores of last night
Games.

Loses His Money.
James II. hall, beer-bottler on Twenty
second street. applied for a warrant from
Assistant Prosecuting Attorney Drury of
Judge Joachimsen's court yesterday for
the arrest of two touts at the Oakland
racetrack. He did not know their names
but could identity them.
His story was that he met the two touts
at the racetrack, and Tuesday nirht he
was surprised TO receive a visit from them
at his house. They suggested that he
should join them in a scheme to win
money from the pooirooms.
If Hall would advance $3.50 one of them
would accompany him to the racetrack
and the other would remain in the City.
Immediately after race was run they
could telephone to the one In the City the
name OF the winning horse so that he
could lay the money on the winner in the
poolrooms before the news was received
there.
Hall advanced the $3.50 and Wednesd ay
the programme was carried out, the
race selected being the Emeryville handi-
cap. When Hall and the tout returned to
the City they met the other tout and he
said he had laid all the money on Cash
Day and he was surprised to find that Cali
1ornia had won. He had mistaken the
name telephoned.
Hall concluded that he had been swim
died out OF the $3.50 and wanted to get a
warrant for the arrest of the touts. He
was informed that the whole affair was
illegal and he had no remedy.

tellectual enjoyment which L know 1t will

ing the cause OF religion or promoting the
Interests of the theological seminary. I
cannot see how it is to accom- plish more
than minimum of good. The company
present will be a select one, limited in
number and composed of those already
deeply interested in the seminary, and as
the published reports of the proceedings
Will naturally have reference chiefly to the
banquet and the spicy things culled from
the speeches to follow, the public will get
but little concerning he seminary by read
ing them.
Besides, as the quarter centennial ex-
ercises proper of the institution will take
place in the afternoon of the same day
the snace given to them will of course be
limited in order to leave room for the
more readable reports of those to occur in
the evening.
''In my judgment it would have been
better to provide for a single meeting,
consisting OF general gathering of the
friends OF the sem mary, with supper to
cost % cents per plate, to be followed by
reports and statements and addresses
showing the character and needs of the
work, much like the annual reunions of
the Church Extension Society of the
Methodist people, which are so effective
in producing desired results. However,
as the feast has been contracted ior aud
the palates of the brethren are doubtless
already prepared for it, | say with all my

WI AND THE MINISTERS
China's ambassador Wants Ms.

He Talks to Church People at the

an Address TO Chinese.

Mr.. WI, the Chinese Minister to Wash
ington, had large number of religious
people call on him Wednesday in the par
lor of the Occidental and thsy all went
away we'll pleased with what he told
them. Those who called were member
OF the local clergy and representatives OF
the Methodist, Presbyterian, Congrega-
tional and other Chinese missions in this
City and Oakland.
All these are especially interested in
mission work in China and among the
Chinese living here. They came to talk
to Minister WI about it and learn his
ideas. They also desired to pay their re-
spscts. Among those who called were:
Rev. John Thompson, superintendent OF
the American Bible Society; Rev. Ira NJ
Condit Of the Chinese Presbyterian Mis-
sion, Rev. Tom Keet Hing of the Chinese
Baptist Church, Rev. Jce Gam of the Con-
gregational Mission, Rev. Syho Nam Art

OF the Japanese Methodist Mission, Row.

Mission, Rev. w. G. Pond OF the Bethany
Congregational Church and superinten-
dent OF the Congregational Chinese Mis-
sion. and quite number of ladies.
The Rev. Mr.. Masters and Rev. Mr..
Pond and Rev. Mr.. Condit made addresses,
In which they referred to the work by
missionaries in the land of the Flowery
Kingdom.
Minis er Wu at length responded. He
said he was glad because OF the work the
missionaries were doing in China and tn at
he hoped that Christianity would spread
over the world. He added that his Gov
ernment was in sympathy with anything
that would lift UP the people. He thought
sometimes that China was a little slow,
but he said its h cart was ali right.
The Minister concluded by speaking
briefly in Chinese to two or three Chinese
teachers of Christianity who had been la
boring In Chinatown. The Minister was
invited to address the Christian Chinese
at the Presbyterian Mission, and will prob
ably do so soon.

Remarks of The Learned
Divine on the Late
Discussion.
Like Rev. Mr.. Mathena, How.
ever, He Thinks This an
Inopportune Time.
AL a Mistak ke, Anyway, He States,
so Far as a Presby terial Dis.
cussion Is Concerned

An interesting question was sprung bv
Rev. E. G. Mathena at a meeting OF the
San Francisco Presbytery few days ago.
In declining TO attend q banquet at the
Occidental Hotel on the ground that a
minister ought not to set such an ex-
ample in times of distress he has started
the wider question whether ministers
ought ever to attend banquets
Mr.. Mathena holds, above all, that it is
not proper for ministers to feast when
there are hundreds of men clamoring for
an opportunity to do the most menial
labor to obtain bread for their wives and
babes.
Rev. Mr.. Mathena is known as 1.-THE
friend of the poor of the Potrero." He
gave expression to his sentiments in
modest language, and some opposing dis
cussion occurred.
The question came to be discussed by
Rev. Mr.. Reynolds rising and asking
those present to do all in their power to
aid the banquet to be held at the Occi-
dental Hotel in honor of the graduation
of the senior pupils of the Presbyterian
Theological Seminary by attending.
Then it was that Mr.. Mathena deliv-
cred himself of the ideas which drew out
the opposition of Rev. II. N Bevier, who
mony of the meeting by speaking of un-
pleasant things" DR.. Mathena said:
1--WE are asked to go to this banquet at
the Occidental Hotel" he said. modestly,
''but it costs So If we take our wives. I
confess that such use OF money seems
to me wrong, in these times of want and
suffering among our fellow-creatures. 1t
is embarrassing for me to thus decline
the invitation or to appear to be out of
joint with the times; but my work lies
among the very poor, among those to
whom dollar is of great importance. 1t
is a matter OF conscience with me, and
cannot consent to spend So in this way
when the poor are coming to my door for
food, when little children are hungry and
ill clad, and when honest men are out of
employment and their families in want.
with the small sum of So l could do
great good in the way of charity, or l
might get ten children into my Sunday
school. do not think it is proper for
ministers of the gospel to set such an ex-
ample as this would be. My conscience,
therefore, compels me to decline the invi-
tation, although friends have offered to
pay for the plates for my wife and N.Y.
self"
