PREACHING 1N THE STREET.

R ISHOP PARET, Of the Episcopal diocese
~ Of Maryland, in a letter to the newspaper
of his diocese, recommends street preaching by
Episcopal clergymen. At first this might seem
innovation, but Episcopal clergy have not re-
Trained from addressing meetings in the streets.
For the last two summers one of the churchmen
has been conducting services in the open air IN
Wall street, New York, and he never fails to at
tract a large and interested crowd. And yet out
door preaching is not new. During the early
days OF the Methodists in England, Wesley and
the other leaders preached in the streets.
Addressing meetings in the street has long
been favorite custom OF politicians, while Sim
gle Takers, Socialists the Salvation Army and
others have held orderly meetings on the street
corners, and It's more than probable that before
the present license campaign shall have ended
there will be meetings on the street corners for
a discussion Of that question. The orators go TO
the people often when the people will not come
to them.

ADVICE TO coLoRED PEOPLE.

IT He effort to make it appear that President
i Roosevelt, because of the Brownsville af-
fair, is opposed TO the negroes and Foraker
worked this TO the limit has not made headway
in some directions at least Rev DIR. L. c. Nor
ris, colored, Of Helena, Ark, in an address at
meeting of negroes in Washington declared that
"it is fortunate for the country that in the
White House is a man of common sense, who has
shown that he cannot be influenced in the dis
charge OF his official duties by race, color or
condition of men,"
The speaker added that the future of his race
is in the South, and he advised members Of his
race to continue TO live in the South and prefer
the rural to the city districts DR.. Morris assert
ed that the race question was due to some white
people misinterpreting the demand of the negroes
for civil and political rights as a demand for
social equality
The so-called demand for social equality
which has never been made by the negroes, is of
course absurd A government could not pass a
law creating social equality if it desired to
do so.

the great penitential fast day Of the
Jews, will begin tomorrow evening. The
services at the Jewish places of wor-
ship will begin Tuesday at sunset and
continue until sunset Wednesday even

during the observance of the fast the
pious Jews fast and do not take even
"a drink of water The opening SER
vice is impressive, as is the service at
noon on the Day Of Atonement. The
day is one of devout meditation and of
self-examination and of confession of
sin, and is the day of divine forgive
ness for sin. In this connection, there
fore, the day has a double character
fast day and festal day-with joy over
the forgiveness of sins.
/ During the observance the dead are
rem embered. In preparation for the
day it is customary to offer gifts of
charity. In the time of the Temple at
lJerusalem the services were elaborate
land sin offerings and burnt offerings OF
animals were made.
Another custom Of the day is TO ter
inmate on the eve of the fast day all
feuds and disputes. because "the Day
OF Atonement absOves from sins
against God. but not from sins agains

UNwRITTEN LAW AGAIN.

IT HE 'unwritten law" has triumphed at a trial

she looked with favor upon the attentions OF an
other man, and declined to refuse to receive him.
The man continued his attentions. The husband
OF the crrng wife thereupon shot the man as the
latter sat in his own home. The slayer was tried
for murder and acquitted on the second ballot,
one uryman on the first ballot being for convic-
ton The husband and wife made up" The
testimony on which the accused was acquitted
was that he was suffering from confessional in

GOLD OUTPUT.

IT HE output of gold in South Africa continues
4 large, the Rand mines during August hav-
ing taken out more than eleven millions of dol
lars worth of the yellow metal. And the produc-
ton of gold is Increasing in other districts OF the
world so that the output is much larger than was
ever predicted by those who were supposed to
know During the campaign a little more than
ten years ago, there were direful predictions and
opinions and examinations by experts, so-cahed'
that the world was approaching famine IN the
gold supply, and this was urged as one OF the
chief reasons for the unlimited coinage OF silver
But the prophets were dumbfounded when sud-
den increase in the metal was reported from al
most all parts of the world And this increase
OF gold is given as one of the causes Of prevailing
high prices according to the quantitative theory
OF money. If this notion is correct, and 1t has
been accepted by most writer's on the question,
no falling off OF high prices may be expected and
any agitation for an increased supply Of metallic
money is as dead as Hector

dark horse who might make an available candi-
date for the Democratic nomination for Pres-

1t is time for the so-called conservative wing
of the party to revive many of the booms that
appear to have been let drop. Judge Gray would
make the most promising candidate, and if his
boom were managed with the same skill that is
placing Governor Hughes before the country as
a possible nominee of the Republicans, the Della

Carnegie owns fine mansion and other build

placed upon them by the assessors. In fact he

SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL.
SANTA ROSA, Feb. "a wedding of
more than local interest took place
here yesterday, when DR.. Frank Ernest
Sohler of San Jose was married to Miss
Luella May Bremner, daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. Bremner of this city, at noon
in the Methodist Episcopal Church. Rev.
Monroe H. Alexander officiated
This was the elimination of a ro-
nance begun when Miss Bremner and
DR.. Sohler were attending Stanford Uni
versity, from which institution both
graduated with honors The groom
later studied medicine and he is now
practicing his profession in San Jose.
The bride has grown to womanhood
here, and has a host of friends through
out the county and in San Francisco.
Another wedding of considerable in
terest and which came as a great sur
prise was that of Miss Edna H. Bur
bank today at. noon to Stanley w.
Hayes, who came all the way from
Geneva, Ontario County, N. Y, to claim
his promised bride. The wedding took

deal of attention in the East is Eva AL
mond Withrow's Life" now exhibited
for the first time in San Francisco at
Courvoisier's. 1t was accepted by the
salon. The subject is treated symbolic
ally. The young woman, who stands
lightly poised, one hand behind her
head and the other outstretched, is
blowing a soap bubble supposed to rep
resent ambition. The bronze lamp at
her feet is experience, the smoke mys-
terry, the veil shrouding her is the fu-
ture, the mirror on which she stands is
unconscious reflections. 1t is a matter
of temperament whether such involved
symbolism appeals to one, but there is
no question of the merit of Miss With
rows picture. She has accomplished
what only a true artist can, In giving
US an almost nude figure which, with
all the melting tenderness of its beauty
is pure and without suggestiveness
The treatment of the iridescent bubble
the wreathing smoke, the red glow of
the lamp and the shimm ering folds of
the veil, that seems to be almost vi
brant with light and life. shows hand
that has mastered It's art
The contributors to the exhibition of
the Sketch Club met last Saturday and
elected the jurors who are to award
the prizes. The following artists were
chosen: Mrs. Lucia Mathews, Will
Sparks and Maurice del Niue All work
to be exhibited must be in not later
than next Saturday.
In the competition for design for
the cover OF the catalogue to be issued

sign was the one accepted.

himself is reputed to have been so
pleased with 1t that he bought a whole

few of the Supervisors met at the

lagher were there. but many of the
members of the board were absent.
Supervisors Tveitmoe and O'Neil, when
appointed to the board. refused point
blank to be driven into secret session
by the indicted boss of the city, and
they have stayed away from every ses-
sion. This show OF spirit on. the part
of the new Supervisors has inspired
some of the less timorous of the others
to stay away from the star chamber
and to that extent the power of the
boss over the board is waning
Judge Dunno will give his ruling next
Saturday in the matter of the de-
murrers of Abe Ruef and Mayor
Schmitz to the indictments pending
against them, and within a few days
thereafter the trial of the boss on the
charge of having extorted money from
the keepers Of French restaurants will
be called. Mayor Schmitz will be away
on his Washington trip at that time,

Supervisor james l.. Gallagher is again

that Abe Ruef can do just what he

that he has more absolute power over
official life and death than when

attorneys representing their interests.

make a show of inharmony. 1t will be
