"YE SHALL RECEIVE POWER." The losing Day of the Christian Convention. Powerful Addresses From Earnest Speakers. Another Vast Audience in the Mechanics' Pavilion Last Night. Yesterday— third and last day of the Christian convention— was marked by the same devotional thought, consecration of souls and prayerful thankfulness that char- acterized the previous two days. The convention has been a great success, spiritually and in other respects. It has been the means of bringing together differ- ent classes aud denominations in the one common desire and aspiration of transform- ing Kan Francisco from wickedness to righteousness, and to effect this great object to carry on the good work done by Evan- gelist Mills aud L. B. Greenwood. Bui it bas done m.ire. It has brought clergymen of all the denominations together on one common platform, and has thereby done much to do away with the jealous feeling that has existed among them, aud Instill Into their hearts a broader feeling of brotherly love aud kindness toward each other. A testimony of It? spiritual success was seen in the large congregation that remained in Calvary Church yesterday afternoon for the final after-service. Comparatively few left their seats after the service proper was over, and by their devout attitude all those that remained seemed to fully realize that the spirit of Gcd was in their midst and dwelling in them. _-*_•_. At the midday service In the 1. M. L. A. Hall there was another large attendance. A feature of the meeting was the fact that more testimonies were given than at any previous service in that hall. The Mechanics' Pavilion contained an- other vast audience last night, among them being between 300 or 400 Chinese and Jap- anese. If the large number that remained to the after-service is any criterion of the number of conversions, then Evangelist Mills and those assisting him have every reason to be grateful at such striking evi- dence of the good work being done. TBI MOUSING SESSION." . The rrnralie of The Fattier Digcass.d. What ItIs—We Need Uliu. Calvary Presbyterian Church was filled with worshipers when the morning session . of the Christian convention was opened yesterday at 9 o'clock. The subject for the third and last day was "The Promise of the Father," and the text "Ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you." The session was opened with a devotional service conducted by Rev. 11. H. Wykoff. Tbfl first topic was "What it is." which was divided into two beads— "ln the old Testament"— promise and fulfillment, and "In the Xew Testament." Itev. Dr. McKenzie commented on the first head. He briefly reviewed the various prophecies of the Old Testament and said: "The records of the Old Testament testify to the greatness of spiritual power. That is the power that is yet moving the world and gives assurance of renewed spiritual life for San Francisco." Rev. E. It. Wills took up the second head. "No matter," said he, "bow great the bap- tism yesterday, there i 9 a greater baptism for to-day. Why should God yet say, 'Tarry lor 10 days longer?' Because ye are not ready #'ye. to receive the spirit. We must tarry * until [__> conditions are met; until we give ourselves' unconditionally to God and then he will lead us on to do bis work. "When we are filled with the spirit tf the disciples, who went out through all Judea, we can go forth and do hi. work. G. d is caring for all generations. His work is ready; bis way is prepared for all genera- tions to come. We can overturn ____ Fran- cisco in a day, I believe, if we are ill tailed with this spirit of the Holy Ghost." The secoud topic was "We need Him," which was subdivided into three h.acis: "For regeneratioc."' "For holy l'—-~ " "For power." Her. Dr. Fails, speaking <<:> ;..e fipjj v saU?; "Toe author of all creation oatdo©.* hThnr.il ia savins one .aoul. Oac-3 v. . get a "• *5 _ .:-.fc of the glory of salvation H •t_gf._rs ' .

If we repel this there is no other salvation. "Fellow-Christians, we should now, dur- ing tills period of revival, be most careful lest by some inconsistent act, some flippant speech, we sound the death-knell of some anxious soul." Key. Dr. Case, in the absense of Rev. Dr. Diile, took up the second bead. "When you enlist in the gospel army," said be, "ycu must remember that you are there for doiug battle, far more than the mere act of enlistment- The secret of the blessing, especially in places of public worship, is in the worshiper giving himself thoroughly up to the surroundings and to the theme. "Don't think that after being converted you can walk in the spirit of the world. There must be the spirit of the living God within you. "What we want In San Francisco is the spiritual life under the enduement of spiritual power. Mr. Mills and Mr. Green- wood willfinish their work. They will co on, but we in San Francisco can continue, and Gcd helping us, thousands can be brought to a knowledge of Christ." Inresponse to a request for short prayers for a continuance in this city of the awaken- ing spin', of revival, several of the congre- gation offered fervent Invocations for God's blessing on the work. Key. Dr. llobarth, in commenting on the third bead, said: "There is the difference between divine and human forces, between the power above and the power of earth, that there is between the power of the electric road and that of the cable. The one is beneath, fixed; the ether is above. With the one you can go on just so fast and no faster, but with the other the power above— there is no limit to the progress you make. "Like a railway train, which only awaits the touch of the engineer's hand upon the lever to begin its journey up over the mountains, so the mighty engine of our human regress is only wailing the touch of God's mighty hand." Mr. Mills then answered a number of questions that had been put to him as fol- low. : "Why need we pray for the holy spirit—ls It not always with us?" It is here, but it is not with every one. There Is air nearly everywhere; it will go where it can, but it cannot go where there are other things; so itis with the holy spirit. You must fulfill the conditions for Its coming to you. "If power follows entire consecration, why does itnot always come to those who are consecrated An honest, dead-earne.t soul gets all there is for any soul. If the revelation Is lacking, there is something jacking in the consecration. If we just step out and say with full consecration, "Lord, God, I have fulfilled the conditions," we tuny rest assured he willdo the rest. "If we seek consecration, willthe coming of the spirit be delayed until all hidden thing* lv our hearts are removed?" Turn everything hidden and discovered. "flow may we know the mind of the spirit in something we want to do, or a Journey we want to take?" Don't want to go on a Journey, or want anything— Just do as God wills; dou't have any will of your own. Let God blow you around. Move around in about the same way as the planchette used to do In the game popular some years ago. Just let God rest his hand on you and move you as he "What Is meant by the unity of spirit needed to receive the spirit?" Nothing is meant as concerns Individuals. If there \u25a0re persons not in sympathy with religion work is greatly hampered. The spiritual atmosphere Is all important My sermon at the Pavilion last night was for church members— on christian consistency— there were over 200 who expressed a desire to lead christian lives. " "Does God give you the holy ghost until Just b.fote you nee 1it?" It is in you ail the time. God's power is not an electric shock. ItIs not a freak of divine grace. You may be a conscious conductor or an unconscious conductor, but the spirit is there just the same. \u25a0 "What should a person do who has lost the desire for consecration?" I would ad- vl..e,, _ m _ try & day of fasting and prayer. What advice would you give a pastor who desires to transform a too worldly con- gregation ?",- I was looking for just such a . que-ilon as that. Just go ahead and clean yourself. Be Independent; be sure you are right and. go ahead, and do not care whether you are turned out or go out seine other way. Give up concern for bread and but- ter and rely on God, who looks out for every sparrow. Do not care for what any one in the Congregation may say. be hum- ble; be like, a dead man as to comment or criticism, see then If there Isn't one soul out for Christ, and then seek? •al once in a church/ cou- sin which every i man's hand was against every other mau. One of the elders had been sent to State prison and one of the deacons bad been accused of robbery and bad killed himself. At the first meeting the quarreling and wrangling began. The members got mad and some of them started to go out. I put myself against the door and told them if they did not be- have themselves I would put every officer out of that church. They did not behave themselves and I turned every one of them out and nut in new officers. I expected to be turned out next, but I stayed, aud there began a most wonderful revival." The benediction was pronounced and the session closed. THE MIDDAY MEETING. ! More Testimonies Given Thin nt Any I'r- tliius Meeting. L. B. Greenwood, In the absence of Mr. Mills, again conducted the midday meeting in the Y. M. C. A. Hall. The ball was crowded and great interest was manifested in the service. The subject for consideration was "Thy God Hath Commanded Thy Strength." Mr. Greenwood led the discussion with a few sharp and pregnaut remarks. Testimonies were afterward given and more testified to their conversion and joy in the Savior than at any previous meeting. Rev. Dr. Cantine closed the meeting with the benediction. y: :~ THE AFTERNOON SESSION. Eloquent Sermon on the Enrinenient of Power by Evan.ollit Mills. By 2:30 o'clock, when the afternoon ses- sion of the Christian convention in the Cal- vary Church was opened, the building was filled to its utmost capacity. After several hymns bad been sung Cap- tain Carter led In prayer. The third topic on the subject of the day, "The Promise of the Father." was "We May Receive Him." This was divided into three heads: "By Self-renunciation," "By Faith," "Waiting Upon God." Rev. Dr. Henry led on the first head. "Every man," said he, "by his freedom of Will seeks to be supreme. In some sense men was born to rule. The question of who is to rule is answered by the words, 'one that is the brightest and best.' Self- renunciation and submission honors God and pays tribute to his glorious character and will, -_"*-\u25a0_ "Moral law is the will of God given to man In the commandments. It is authorita- tive, but not compulsory. God does not force any man to be a Christian. God does not force any man to become consecrated. That rests with the man himself. "We must have the suppliant will, the surrendered will, the Identification of Christ's will with the will of God, the ex- ultant will, before we have this perfect blessedness, this enducmeut from on high." Rev. Dr. Eastcn took up the second head. "The center and pivotal point of being en- dued from on high." said he, "is the ex- ercise of faith. What the keystone is to the arch, so is faith to the divine system. "Take faith from the Christian life; take faith out of the Christian system and you have nothing but chaos. The connecting link of this enduement from on high is faith. Purity is power; holiness is moral omni- potence; when we want perfect light, there must be perfect unwavering faith. "What are the elements of faith? There must be committal. I can understand of no power except through Jesus Christ How to get it? By appropriate faith." Rev. Dr. Chapman, In speaking of the third bead, said : "Those who come to the point here indicated (waiting upon God) have reached the most critical point In this progress. Is it necessary to wait till God accepts our consecration? No. Is it nec- essary to wait until God receives us? No. But after you have done all ii is necessary for you to wait upon the Lord till he give's you the work you can do. "Trust in the Lord and wait patiently for him. It is good for man to hope and pa- tiently wait for the word of salvation. It will surely come and not tarry. "Why wait? It may be a test of earnest- ness. There is nothing batter to test earn- estness than delay. You can't dam up a mountain stream, neither can you obstruct the power and zeal of the heart seeking the Holy Ghost. Delays are good to develop sincerity and earnestness. There is also the ripening process. "How we wait? First, submissively; secondly, confidently; thirdly, patiently; fourthly, lovingly; fifthly, joyfully; and may God grant that we be not discouraged while we are so waiting." Mr. Mills then made bis announcements. < :~., _._,,, published In The Call yester- day. ' i to-night &n<l to-;n0..0w.

"A minister of the Gospel," said he, "once asked me the question 'If .vie receive the Holy Ghost, way not receive also the power of God?' The Holy Ghost has always been separated from the power of God. If such power were needed, cer- tainly the disciples of Christ needed it. They had almqst an impossible task before them. A hundred aud twenty to conquer a hundred and twenty mil. ion-. Think of it. Ami so Christ said: 'Wait until ye receive the promise of the Father, the power from on high.' "What is the Holy Ghost 7-^Teople have strange ideas about it. It i.nothing but the breat ii of God. "Now comes the very serious question, was tills a special gift for the founding of the church? Have we passed the day when there is no necessity for the Holy Ghost In the work of the church? There would be one minister less if the words spoken to the Apostles were for them alone. I would have no heart in me to depend upon human resource. If 1 had to depend upon my own wisdom and power I would wear myself out in one week. How utterly fruitless would it all be without the rower of God. "Some people .ay we need the power of God for some things and our own wisdom is sufficient for other tilings. We need the power of God In all things. "Some people even sneak of .ocular affairs of the church. Great God! Secular affairs of the church of Jesus Christ! Just think of it. How did they choose the first trustees of the church of Christ? They said let us seek out men of good report, men full of faith, men fullof the Holy Ghost. "Until we get to the place where the voices that sing and the hands that touch the money are filled with the presence of God, Just so long will the church of Christ continue to be afflicted with paralysis, 'there is no secular life in connection with the man baptized with the Holy Ghost." He spoke of the natives of the Sandwich Islands, who had burned their Idols the day before the first missionaries arrived, claiming that it was the spirit of God pre- ceding the missionaries that mado them do it. "Oh, for the messengers to go before us with a power like that," said Mr. Mills, fervently. "Now," said he, "we come to the recep- tion of this power. I believe that every man and woman lias this power and influ- ence inwinning souls to God; that they have this definite unmistakable, practical bap- tism of the Holy Ghost in the enduement of power for service. ':'.>:; "To get this power we must entirely for- sake sin- Allthe service of yesterday was but the link to fitin at this point. We must not only forsake sin, but consecrate every power, every ambition and every possession to God. "I believe In that definite laving hold of Gold that shall count the things that are not as though they are; count another living sacrifice to the Duly Ghost, "Now, to-day, are we of three classes? Some of us who have not known the power of God; some who have known that power and lost it, and some who know It. Oh, that we might be of one accord in this upoer chamber, waiting for me; waiting for mol" Those who wished to leave were requested to do so quietly while the choir was singing, but only a few did so, almost all remaining to the after service. TDK MECHANICS' PAVILION. Another Taat Audience I.ant Night—."Many Net- ConT.rilo.i. There was another great rush to obtain seats at the Mechanics' Pavilion last night when the doors were opened at 7:15 o'clock, and the Immense building was soon nearly filled with all classes and nationallie*. Sev- eral hundred Mongolians were seated in the body of the hall, and seemed to take an ab Horbing interest in the service. The choir was out In full force and sang admirably. There I. not the slightest doubt that the music from such a large and well- trained body of fingers is not the least at- tractive feature of these meetings. Seated in front of the choir were a num- ber of clergymen, among them being: J. C. Smith, W. E. Smith, A. 11. Driggs. J Q. A. Henry, Matthew il. Gibson, F. B. Pullan, A. C. Hirst. H. H. Wyk« it and EL EL Cole! After the usual singing of hymns prarer was offered by Rev. F. li. Pullan and Mr. Greenwood sang with pathos "Some One Will Enter the Pearly Gates." Mr. Mills selected his text from Revela- tions iii:2o: "ik-hold, Island at the door and knock." "Sometimes," he said, "we talk about a man seeking God, but to-night we have the other side— God in search of man. I believe If every one to-night were to follow their convictions of right every one would come Into the kingdom of God and would let God Into their kingdom." _\u25a0•; He spoke of a soldier whose life was saved by a bullet striking the Bible he carried in hi. breast pocket. When the soldier opened the [Bible he found the bullet had pierced through to the sentence. "What must Ido to inherit eternal life?", and as this gripped his conscience be said, "This book has saved my Ufa and now I will con-'' secrate my life to God." "God 1. knocking by the gospel," said the evangelist. "Mv brother, did no one ever try to load you to Christ? lf 1 thought there was any one here to-night who never had a personal invitation to come to Christ I would like to go to him and ask him to give his heart unto God. "Have you listened to the pleading of your wife, the pleading of your child, the voice of your pastor, to give your heart to God? "God ia knocking by the voice of tribula- tion. Many a man, if by no other way, has been brought unto God by the touch of sorrow. Earth has no sorrow that God can- not heal. "God is knocking by the direct Influence of the Holy Spirit. You have felt the touch at midnight; you have felt the touch when walking on the street; you have felt the touch when In the midst of the congrega- tion. "A commercial traveler once came to mo at one of my meetings and said he never felt so strange before. He asked me did I know what it meant. I told him it was the Holy Ghost, and asked him, 'Will you yield to it?' he said he would, and that man went out of the church rejoicing. Ifthere is any way to reach your heart God will find it. "Oh, for men and women to make signs of the living God knocking at your heart to-night. Remember that this most solemn fact confronts you, if you do not admit God into your heart while be is pleading with you he will turn away from you." To illustrate this he told a pathetic story of a personal friend, a physician, at the time he was a missionary In the Rocky Mountains. He was a noble, generous man, and only lacked oue thing, the touch of the spirit. At last the doctor sent for him and asked to be told how to be saved. 'Tie acted like a madman, and threw him- self down on his face, uttering dreadful cries. After being an hour in this terrible condition he became calmer, and I put my arm around him and pleaded with him to submit to God, and he said he would. I asked him to bow down with me, but he put it off and said he would come to the meeting upxt night and do It publicly. But he did not come. I saw him the next morning and he said he had settled that he would be with me before the winter was done and offered mc his hand on it. This was in November. I went East in January, aid on my return in March I noticed evi- dence that my friend had been drinking too much liquor, and that man, after I left again in June, threw off all restraint till he finally became a drunken sot and poisoned himself with an overdose of morphine. "When fits. 1 knew that man there was no more prospect of him lying in the grave of a drunkard and suicide than any one here. "i suppose there are some people here to- night who are near to the kingdom of God, but probably not as near as my friend was that day when he said "uo" to the knocking of the spirit. "lf God is knock ii.g at your heart, let him in now. Don't wait till to-morrow, but do itnow. "I will only ask you one question. If there la any impulse or desire in your soul that might lead you to beco_M a Christian. will you act on it? 'Will you encourage it? "I will ask every oue who has not been a faithful Christian or who has never been a Christian, but who desires to feel the touch of the spirit and to ask God to eucouiage that desire to stand up. "Bow your heads in one minute 6ilent prayer; if they are Christians pray for them; if they are not Christians pray that God may come into their hearts." Several stood on in different parts of the building. Mr. Mills then offered a fervent prayer. After the usual distribution of cards the benediction was pronounced. More than one-half remained to the after service. OAKLAND'S WATER FRONT. The Struggle in Conrt Look. Well for the People. Examination cf Talesmen Begun— Humors of the Jury-Box-Corporatioa Lawyers Squelched. Ttte impanelment of the jury in the water-front suit began at 2 «*« m. yesterday before Presiding Judge Henshaw. It was a pondercuf. slew proc__din_. and when c.urtu.ijounja,! at 5 _'.'_.__: enly tares tales- men had been exam , Everything depends on tne jury. Both eidfis realize this, and ceyor before has so much importance been attached to Its mi- panelment. Mr. Moore, for the water-front company, is particularly anxious iv this re- spect, as lie freely expressed the opinion that It was the "quality" of the jury that did him up In the suit of Taylor vs. Fortin a short time ago. After fighting shy of it for a whole week the water-front company has evidently de- termined that since there must be a jury It must be one that is absolutely ignorant of the history of th«: case, whose members are total strangers to Davie, Fitzgerald, Bas- set* and other defendants, and who are utterly unfamiliar with the tenets of Black- stone, whether literally applied or other- wise—that corporations have no souls. Nearly all their questions hinged on the.c points and many of them were answered unsatisfactorily to the plaintiff's attorneys. It is plain that it will be a long time before "12 good aud true men" are selected to try the famous suit. THE TOST IMPANELMENT. In the previous session Judge Henshaw asked the attorneys If they could agree to have the jury impaneled before him as pre- siding Jud-e, without the presence of the other two Judges. They replied that they could. The first impauelment of 12 was drawn as follows: Frederick Khamistorf, Charles Halle, W. I). Byre, W. li. Sieden- topp, Reul-en Hunter, W. 11. Maurren, C. it. I'.iig.s, Frank Harding. George Klnsev, A. W. Barm. Anthony Milton and H. B. Sears. .i- D..1....1 •»_._* _._. iv._ /:__» »___.__ __ Mr. Kahmlstorf was the first target se- lected for the fusillade of questions put by A. A. Moore. The juror admitted that he was a reader of The Cai_t_ and knew of the case through that channel. He was unacquainted with any of the parties to the action. .<. . Mr. Moore did not ask very many more questions'after that, and the examination of Mr. Haile next began. "Do you know Mr. Fitzgerald?" asked Mr. Moore. "Yes, sir." "Mr. Fitzgerald, one of the defendants?" "No, sir: the Mr. Fitzgerald I know Is a hodcarrier." "Have you taken part in any discussion of tills water-front case?" "No, sir." "Have you heard any one say anything derogatory to the corporation since the trial began?" "Yes," sir." "What?" "I heard somebody In this courtroom say that the whole caboodle of. them ought to be hung, lawyers Included," Mr. Moore blew his noso In a bandana handkerchief and Mr. Mullaney chuckled. OPINIONS ABOUT POSSESSION. The examination of W. J). Boyce then be- gan. Mr. Moore asked him if he had any prejudice against title by adverse posses- sion. The juror replied that be considered a paper title better. Mr. Moore continued a wearisome examination about the juror's opinions of "paper title." and adverse pos- sessions, during which the Judge two or three times stopped him to explain what bearings the law dad on the matter. Mr. Boyce said that he also was a reader of The Call, but that he knew none of the defendants, and had no particu- lar prejudice against the Southern Pacific of Kentucky as a corporation. When Mr. Mullaney took up the exami- nation Mr. Boyce admitted that his family ami that ot Mr. Martin exchanged visits, and that they were on pretty good neigh- borly terms. Allthree of theso jurors were passed, but they will be subject to peremptory chal- lenge later. After a partial examination Into W. 11. Seidentopp s sentiments Judge Hcnshaw adjourned court until 10 a. m. next Monday. CLEANING AWAY THE COBWEH3. At the forenoon session, before the ex- amination of talesmen began. Judge Hen- shaw denied the motion of Mr. Martin that special issues be submitted to the court for decision. The ruling was that the proper time to present that point will be after all the evidence Is in. After this ruling was given Mr. Martin asked that a decree to plaintiff be given for the land north of the Feralta grant land, as the defendants disclaimed any possession to It. Judge Uenshaw called the other Judges to aid In a decision of the point, and the ruling was given that this also must come up after the evidence is In. i It will very likely consume all of next week to impanel a jury. One of the attor- neys said yesterday that there are going to be some painful aud peremptory challenges, and that two or three panels. may be ex- hausted before a jury is secured. *.,' The word Arkansas is of Indian stork.

AT SUTRO HEIGHTS. An Early Opening of the Bath- Houses. The Power and Engine Houses Will Be Boon Completed— Comprehensive Flans Prepared. The prospect for an early opening to the public of the Sutro baths, located on the ocean beach, just north of the Cliff House, is very flattering. The years that have been spent In boring tunnels, blasting rock, con- structing protecting seawalls and hot and cold water tanks for the bathers has been productive of a very comprehensive system of works that for luxurious completeness it will be very bard to equal iv any of the popular bathing resorts or the known world. The whole Idea of the water supply has been based upon the action of the winds and tides at the entrance of the Golden Gate, which has been utilized to effect a con- tinual supply of fresh salt water. The water dashing against the promontory which pro- tects the entrance to the harbor is received through a tunnel by which it is conveyed with never ending freshness to the tanks In which the bathers are to disport. The baths are to embrace the area of the cone, which is so well-known as a feature of the beach, and has been combined with nature to make it an ideal spot for tie pur- pose. The rocky islets have been connected by rock embankments to the main shore, and the plans contemplate a parklike ar- rangement of the contiguous bluffs which will make an exquisite resort for the we .ry and health-seeking wayfarer. The building to contain the motive rower for the baths is now under construction and has progressed as far as the third story. It occupies an irregular piece of ground southeast ot the tunnel and east of the aqua- rium. The foundation is about on the line of nigh-water mark, and above this a three- story structure Is to be raised and sur- rounded by an observation tower 81 feet high. The liist story is to contain two 75 horse-power boilers and an engine of 100 horse-power; both boiler and engine ca- pacity to be doubled as soon as necessity requires. The lower floor will also contain the dynamos by which the whole locality will be Illuminated. On the second Boot the laundry and drying appaiatus are to be placed, and on Hie story above the em- ployes will be housed. From the tower, which is to be reached by a huge elevator, a bridge to the esplanade on the top of the bluff is to be built, allow- ing access to the park wh??h «s included in Mr. Sutro's designs. 0:j th. line ol the bul ding facing the _*a, a promenad* or balcony is to bo eonstiuctcd en bntU tb. second and third storie* The building ;_ t. i>_ _©___frurled j fn the colonial styjn of au blMCture, profusely or- namented. _r.d is i_ partake of the rinu substantial L'liitiact.ias the rest of tiie . l- provements.

London special to the New York Herald. The Judicial Bench of the House of Lords has dismi.ss.rt the appeal of Lord Henry Augustus Bruce, uncle of the Marquis of Ailesbury and heir presumptive to the Ailesbury estates, against the decision of the Court of Appeal permitting the Marquis of Ailesbury to sell the Savernake mansion and other properties. The Marquis of Ailesbury, who is a notori- ous character and who is almost hopelessly in debt to money-lenders, will now have an opportunity to cancel a large part of his financial obligations. The heir to the prop- erty based his objections to the sale upon the fact that the only persons who would benefit by it would be the men who have loaned money to the .Marquis at usurious rates of interest. The fight, however, has availed nothing, and the historic Savernake Forest will now pass out of the hands of the Braces. The purchaser of the property will probably be Lord Iveagh (Edward Cecil Guinness) of the great brewing-house of Guinness. Sir George Hubam.

The second Karl of Ailesbury showed his devotion to the Stuarts .by refusing to acknowledge the Prince of Orange as King though for the maintenance of the I rotestant religion, threatened by James 11. he had joined In Inviting him into the country. For. this he spent some time in the lower and was at last exiled to Brus- sels, where he died. Through his marriage with Elizabeth, sister of the third Duke nt Somerset, the Ailesbnrys became lords of Savernake, to-day the only "forest" In the possession of a subject. "Duck.", succeeded his grandfather, the ____.<_ Marquis, in 1668, when a lad of five. This was the samo year when his mother, second daughter of the E.trl of Craven, died. As the year of his attaining his many titles and lands was signaled by his mother's death, so that of his birth— lS63— was marked by the death m" 111. father, a captain in the Fourteenth Hussars. Dolly Tester was the star of the Theater Royal, Brighton, as a rattling singer and twinkling dancer. It must be a good many years since she possessed that natural beauty with which some of her creatures credit her. But sho had the genius which made one woman In this century's history an empress. Probably she did not express itin such an epigram as "Sire, there is but one way to my boudoir— by the church door," but she managed to make the same meaning clear when transplanted to the Comedy Theater, London, in whose company she met ber fate in "Ducks." This is one story. There are others. As fas as "Ducks" is concerned it Is probably true. "Ducts" married her. There is no reason to suppose that he would have done so had there been any other means of estab- lishing a senior incumbrance on her affec- tlons. ;\u25a0\u25a0: ..-.. For five years they lived together in such manner as the scene at Mousley Lock was the outward and visible sign. Of the in- ward and spiritual grace of their menage at "The Hatch," their bridal country seat near Windsor, there threatened to be some start- ing evidence in 18___ when "Ducks" brought the divorce suit in which "Mr. Abington" and Captain -Riley of the Tenth Hussars, the Prince of Wales' own Beau Brummel regiment during bis brief and bloodless mil- itary career, were, or were to have been, the corespondents. Hut the town had the rich- est morsel ever promised it snatched from its lips when Dolly's solicitors laid before "Ducks' ".solicitors the kind of recrimination they were prepared to go Into. "Ducks" might not have minded that, but it is said that the sight of the wealth which Dolly showed as the result of their brief separa- tion, which she had nassed on the Continent, determined him. Their reconciliation was celebrated at a rousing dinner at the Cafe Royal. SAVERNAKE HOUSE. The Man. uls of Allesbn y. CEILINGS THAT SLIDE. A Start-fog Discovery Mode by the Police In Chinatown, Headquarters of the Lottery Companies on Dcpoat Street Raided-Falie Floors and Partitions Were Smashed. There was weeping and wailing and gnashing of teeth in Chinatown last night, for the police had raided and carried away the Inkpots the wheel, the pans and boxes and the reel of the paraphernalia In the room where the drawings of several lottery _*__.___& tako place. - The bin .-retted minions of justice did not eont.nl themselves ...... tatting .:.._ prop- erty; they smashed the furniture in the room and annihilated several god*. The loss of the furniture and gods would have been borne with that fortitude for which the Mongolian is noted, and few tears would have been shed over the cap- ture of the companies' inkpot?, brushes and tickets had not the officer*, with an unpar- donable disregard for the aspirations of the Chinese lottery-players, ma their raid an bout too soon. A DESCENT. They made their descent at 10 o'clock, and the drawing was to take place BO min- utes later. Hence the grief that prevailed in the Mongolian quarter. The rooms that were raided are in the second story of the building. 808 and 107 Dupont street. On the ground floor or this structure there Is a general store kept by Chy Tung. On the north side of this store there is a passage containing a flight of stairs leading to the upper story. For some time past the police have observed large numbers of Chinese entering tho store and emerging from the hallway on the north side. They came to the conclusion that something was wrong, either in the room at the rear of the store or upstairs. They decided to make an investigation, and last night, under the leadership of Sergeant Tobin, they entered the store of Chy Tung, who regarded them with contemptuous In- difference. COVERED JUGS. The officers paid no attention to the covered jugs, grinning idols and uncouth plants in the store, but passed into the back room. "Darkness there and nothing more." They rambled about tho apartment for some time, but were unable to find an exit, with the exception of the doorway leading into the store, through which they had made their entrance. They lit a lamp and made an examination of the celling. They struck it with a stick and ithad a metallic sound. They found a very narrow opening, and Into it thty in- serted the blade of a knife. Marvelous to relate, the ceiling parted in twain, one half moving to the left and the other to the right. Six inches above there was what seemed to be another celling. Upon investigation itproved to be a trapdoor, locked on tne upper side. Sergeant Donellan smashed it with an ax and the policemen ascended. -CAMPKRIXO feet. As they did so they heard a door slammed and the sound of scurrying feet. They found themselves in a small room without furniture.' The floor was strewn with the narrow slips of white paper on which the drawings ot the Chinese lotteries are written. The apartment had a window, but no door. The policemen sounded the walls and found that one of them was com- posed of shentirou and rattled when struck. It proved tube a movable partition secured on the other side by a bolt. . The police broke it down and found themselves in an untenanted room which contained several trunks filled with unmarked slips ready for the drawing, ink, brushes, wheels and all the other implements and devices used in a lottery. All these were seized and taken to the Central police station as evidence, and the furniture in the room was de- stroyed. A close inspection of the apartment re- vealed the existence of a sliding panel opening Into the hall. Through this secret door the lottery-dealers had escaped. A NEW RAILROAD LINE. Proposed Ronte From * Castle Craig to Siskiyou County. Cheering Message to the Projectors of the Salt Lake Line From the League of Progress- Stoekbooks Opened. The clipper lines are all reported as doing a surprisingly large business. The ship T. F. Oakes sailed from New York Thursday with 3000 tons of merchandise for mer- chants here. The Emily Reed will follow and already there are more offerings than she can accept. For that reason Grace & Co., who are well satisfied with the support given them, will put on a third ship as soon as the Emily weighs anchor. Grace & Co. deny emphatically the report started for the purpose ol frightening off the weak-kneed supporters of the clipper service that it will be impossible to getships enough for the trade. There are any num- ber of ships available for the service, they say, so many, Indeed, that even if the op- position wants to tie them up it will be im- possible to do so. Such an attempt on their part would be a mere waste of time and money. - -, _ Mr. Leeds of the Traffic Association Is quite pleased with the success of the clip- pers thus far, and is devising plans for the encouragement of the sea competition. A sub-committee is already considering the advisability of giving Balfour, Guthrie & Co. a guarantee similar to that given to Grace &Co., and will report the result of their deliberations either to-day or Monday. D. E. Miles. L. D. Brewster. Henry L. Tatum, J. J. Bowen, A. M. Willis, S. P. Smiley and E. A. Lancaster have filed arti- cles of incorporation of the Northeastern California Railroad Company. A XEW ROUTE. The line proposed is 30 miles In length, to run from Castle Craig, a station and sum- mer resort on the line of the California and Oregon Railroad, in Shasta County, in a northeasterly direction to a point at or near the southwesterly comer of section 28. township M north, range 1 east, Mount Diablo base and meridian in Siskiyou. The ordinary business of a railroad com- pany Is to be carried on by the seven directors. The rapital stock is 81,000,000, divided into 10,000 share* of the par value of $100 each. Ot this 5150,000 has been sub- scribed as follows: D. E. Niles, $37,800; L. 1). Brewster, $37,500; Henry L. Tatum, $-2,500; J. J. Bo wen, $22,500; E. A. Lan- caster, $18,915; 'latum & Bowen, per 11. L. Tatum, $10,885; A. M. Willis, $100; 6. P. Smiley, $100. The road will be built by the Red Cross Lumber Company, which is operating near Castle Craig. It will connect with the Southern Pacific at Castle Craig and tap the timber of the McL'loud River, northeast of Castle Craig. Subscription-books for the stock of the San Francisco and Salt Lake Railroad will be opened to the public in a few days. Five millions of the stock will bfl Issued, of which the inside will take $2,000,000. The work of surveying the route is going on steadily, and the surveyors arc reported as being close to the eastern border of Nevada. THE LEAGUE OF PROGRESS.

Frl.ritlt anil Pupils of the Pioneer Schoolmaster Itespond Promptly. Metropolitan Temple was filled to the doors last night by the friends aud former pupils of John C. Pelton, the pioneer teacher In San Francisco. The public school principals of the city had arranged a benefit lecture for tbe veteran schoolmaster, and the affair was a rousing success. Major Henry Dane delivered his lecture on New Zealand without money and without price, and the entire proceeds of the enter- talument except the ball rent were turned over to Mr. Felton. Several hundred tickets sold by the school children were not taken up at the door, thus making the re- ceipts much larger than the house indi- cated. Major Dane delivered a most In- structive talk on New Zealand, Imparting many interesting facts acquired by one rears wandering in that wonderland of Oeeanica. Colored maps were used by the lecturer in Illustrating his remarks. < Advertising Pays. The Slate Board of Trade reports a great dropping off in their correspondence with the East since the calling home of "Califor- nia on Wheels" and the withdrawal of ad- vertisements in the Eastern press. For- merly an average mail brought 50 letters a day inquiring about land. etc. Now there is hardly that number received In a week It is not expected that there wiiTbe any re- vival of interest in the State until after the close of the Chicago exhibition.

A. CRAWFORD & CO. The Affaire of the Corporation Placed la the Hands of a Committee. Yesterday afternoon at 2 ' o'clock the creditors of the late A. Crawford held a meeting in the rooms of the San Francisco Board of Trade and it was presided over by M. P. Jones. The meeting was for the purpose of dis- cussing the affairs of the A. Crawford Com- pany, which was recently incorporated and had a good commercial rating. Attorney Rowoll, representing the firm, addressed the meeting and stated that the affairs are .in such a condition that time wouh' havovto be granted to enable pay- ment of dollar for dollar, but that if the business was closed up at once it would have to be done at a great sacrifice. In relation to the property owned by the com- pany in the South Sen Island*, he said that ifdisposed of at forced sale It would not realize 10 per cent of the value. He sug- gested that a committee be appointed to take supervisory charge until the affairs of the company are wound up. It was stated that the assets of the com- pany foot up $182,000, while the liabilities amount to $759,748. Mr. Jones stated that Ithad been said to him that the heirs of the late Mr. Crawford would turn over for the benefit of the creditor? the personal property belonging to the estate. On motion of Mr. Beveridge the chair ap- pointed the following named a committee to supervise the winding up of the affairs of the company: Adam Grant, 'Levi Strauss, Mr. BeveriJge of 11. M. Newhall & Co., A. W. Forbes of G. M. Josselyn & Co., Mr. Lynde of Lvnde & Hough, Mr. Roth of Roth, Blum _. Co., and M. P. Jones. THE PROTESTING CLUB. Counsel to He Employed to Fight the Sixteenth-Street Assessment. A meeting of the Mission Property-own- ers' Protesting Club was held last night in Eureka Hall, corner of Eighteenth and Castro street?. President J. D. Ayer in the chair. There was a full attendance. A discussion of a very lively character took place on the question of euiuloying counsel to defeat the sixteenth-street assess- ment. The sentiment of the majority was strongly in favor of bo doing, and the only real difference between members was as to tie manner, time and mean, of defeating the proDosltion. The enthusiasm of the club Increases at each meeting, and those in position to Know say it will never cool off until the attempt to confiscate the property of the members has been killed. The Juliet Knights. The visiting Knißlits Templar from Joliet, 111., were shown a number of places of interest yesterday under the guidance of 11. J. Burns of California Commandery, and in the afternoon made a tour of the bay in the Fearless.

"YE SHALL RECEIVE POWER."

The losing Day of the ChristianConvention.

Powerful Addresses From Earnest Speakers.

Another Vast Audience in the Mechanics'

Pavilion Last Night.

• Yesterday— third and last day of theChristian convention— was marked by thesame devotional thought, consecration ofsouls and prayerful thankfulness that char-acterized the previous two days.

The convention has been a great success,spiritually and in other respects. It hasbeen the means of bringing together differ-ent classes aud denominations in the onecommon desire and aspiration of transform-ing Kan Francisco from wickedness torighteousness, and to effect this great object

to carry on the good work done by Evan-gelist Millsaud L. B. Greenwood. Bui itbas done m.ire. It has brought clergymen

of all the denominations together on onecommon platform, and has thereby donemuch to do away with the jealous feeling

that has existed among them, aud InstillInto their hearts a broader feeling ofbrotherly love aud kindness toward eachother.

A testimony of It? spiritual success wasseen in the large congregation that remainedin Calvary Church yesterday afternoon forthe final after-service. Comparatively fewleft their seats after the service proper wasover, and by their devout attitude all thosethat remained seemed to fully realize thatthe spirit of Gcd was in their midst anddwelling in them. _-*_•_.

•At the midday service Inthe 1. M. L.A.

Hall there was another large attendance.A feature of the meeting was the fact thatmore testimonies were given than at any

previous service in that hall.The Mechanics' Pavilion contained an-

other vast audience last night, among thembeing between 300 or 400 Chinese and Jap-anese. Ifthe large number that remainedto the after-service is any criterion of thenumber of conversions, then EvangelistMills and those assisting him have everyreason to be grateful at such striking evi-dence of the good work being done.

TBI MOUSING SESSION." .The rrnralie of The Fattier Digcass.d.

What ItIs—We Need Uliu.Calvary Presbyterian Church was filled

with worshipers when the morning session. of the Christian convention was opened

yesterday at 9 o'clock. The subject for thethird and last day was "The Promise of theFather," and the text "Ye shall receivepower, after that the Holy Ghost is comeupon you."

The session was opened with a devotionalservice conducted by Rev. 11. H. Wykoff.

Tbfl first topic was "What it is." whichwas divided into two beads— "ln the oldTestament"— promise and fulfillment, and"Inthe Xew Testament."

Itev. Dr. McKenzie commented on the firsthead. He briefly reviewed the variousprophecies of the Old Testament and said:"The records of the Old Testament testifyto the greatness of spiritual power. Thatis the power that is yet moving the worldand gives assurance of renewed spirituallife for San Francisco."

Rev. E. It. Wills took up the second head."No matter," said he, "bow great the bap-tism yesterday, therei9a greater baptismfor to-day. Why should God yet say, 'Tarrylor 10 days longer?' Because ye are not ready

#'ye. to receive the spirit. We must tarry*until [__> conditions are met; until we giveourselves' unconditionally to God and thenhe willlead us on to do bis work.

"When we are filled with the spirit tf thedisciples, who went out through all Judea,we can go forth and do hi. work. G. d iscaring for all generations. His work isready; bis way is prepared for all genera-tions to come. We can overturn ____ Fran-cisco in a day,Ibelieve, if we are illtailedwith this spiritof the Holy Ghost."

The secoud topic was "We need Him,"which was subdivided into three h.acis:"For regeneratioc."' "For holy l'—-~

""For power."

delicacf of the fiber of which God has made_..,she human heart is too delicate to bear

the human touch; our rough grasp on thehuman heart but crushes the bruises we fainwould heal. kv :

''There is but one way that the blessingof God can be sent to human hearts— by thepresence of the holy spirit within us. Ifwe repel this there is no other salvation.

"Fellow-Christians, we should now, dur-ingtills period of revival, be most carefullest by some inconsistent act, some flippantspeech, we sound the death-knell of someanxious soul."

Key. Dr. Case, in the absense of Rev. Dr.Diile, took up the second bead. "Whenyou enlist in the gospel army," said be,"ycu must remember that you are there fordoiug battle, far more than the mere act ofenlistment- The secret of the blessing,especially in places of public worship, is inthe worshiper giving himself thoroughlyup to the surroundings and to the theme.

"Don't think that after being convertedyou can walk in the spirit of the world.There must be the spirit of the living Godwithin you.

"What we want In San Francisco is thespiritual life under the enduement ofspiritual power. Mr. Mills and Mr. Green-wood willfinish their work. They will coon, but we in San Francisco can continue,and Gcd helping us, thousands can bebrought to a knowledge of Christ."

Inresponse to a request for short prayersfor a continuance in this city of the awaken-ing spin', of revival, several of the congre-gation offered fervent Invocations for God'sblessing on the work.

Key. Dr. llobarth, in commenting on thethird bead, said: "There is the differencebetween divine and human forces, betweenthe power above and the power of earth,that there is between the power of theelectric road and that of the cable. The oneis beneath, fixed; the ether is above. Withthe one you can go on just so fast and nofaster, but with the other

—the power

above— there is no limit to the progress youmake.

"Likea railway train, which only awaitsthe touch of the engineer's hand upon thelever to begin its journey up over themountains, so the mighty engine of ourhuman regress is only wailing the touch ofGod's mighty hand."

Mr. Mills then answered a number ofquestions that had been put to him as fol-low.:

"Why need we pray for the holy spirit—lsIt not always with us?" Itis here, but itis not withevery one. There Is air nearlyeverywhere; itwillgo where it can, but itcannot go where there are other things; soitis with the holy spirit. You must fulfillthe conditions for Its coming to you."If power follows entire consecration,

why does itnot always come to those whoare consecrated Anhonest, dead-earne.tsoul gets all there is for any soul. If therevelation Is lacking, there is somethingjacking in the consecration. If we juststep out and say with full consecration,"Lord, God, Ihave fulfilled the conditions,"we tuny rest assured he willdo the rest."Ifwe seek consecration, willthe coming

of the spirit be delayed until all hiddenthing* lv our hearts are removed?" Turneverything hidden and discovered.

"flow may we know the mind of thespirit in something we want to do, or aJourney we want to take?" Don'twant to go on a Journey, or wantanything— Just do as God wills;dou't haveany willof your own. Let God blow youaround. Move around in about the sameway as the planchette used to do In thegame popular some years ago. Just letGodrest his hand on you and move you as he

"What Is meant by the unity of spiritneeded to receive the spirit?" Nothing ismeant as concerns Individuals. If there\u25a0re persons not in sympathy withreligionwork is greatly hampered. The spiritualatmosphere Is all important My sermon atthe Pavilion last night was for churchmembers— on christian consistency—there were over 200 who expressed a desireto lead christian lives.

"

"Does God give you the holy ghost untilJust b.fote you nee 1it?" Itis inyou ail thetime. God's power is not an electric shock.ItIs not a freak of divine grace. You maybe a conscious conductor or an unconsciousconductor, but the spirit is there just thesame. \u25a0

"What should a person do who has lostthe desire for consecration?" Iwould ad-vl..e,, _m_ t« try & day of fasting and prayer.

What advice would you give a pastorwho desires to transform a too worldlycon-gregation ?",- Iwas looking for just such a. que-ilon as that. Just go ahead and cleanyourself. Be Independent; be sure you areright and. go ahead, and do not care whetheryou are turned out or go out seine otherway. Give up concern for bread and but-ter and rely on God, who looks out forevery sparrow. Do not care for what anyone in the Congregation may say. be hum-ble; be like, a dead man as to comment orcriticism, see then If there Isn't one soul

out for Christ, and then seek?

•al once in a church/ cou-sin which every iman's

hand was against every other mau. Oneof the elders had been sent to State prisonand one of the deacons bad been accused ofrobbery and bad killedhimself. At thefirst meeting the quarreling and wranglingbegan. The members got mad and some ofthem started to go out. Iput myself againstthe door and told them if they did not be-have themselves Iwould put every officerout of that church. They did not behavethemselves and Iturned every one of themout and nut in new officers. Iexpected tobe turned out next, but Istayed, aud therebegan a most wonderful revival."

The benediction was pronounced and thesession closed.

THE MIDDAY MEETING.

!More Testimonies Given Thin nt Any

I'r-tliius Meeting.

L.B. Greenwood, In the absence of Mr.Mills,again conducted the midday meeting

in the Y. M. C. A. Hall. The ball wascrowded and great interest was manifestedin the service.

The subject for consideration was "ThyGod Hath Commanded Thy Strength."Mr. Greenwood led the discussion with afew sharp and pregnaut remarks.

Testimonies were afterward given andmore testified to their conversion and joy inthe Savior than at any previous meeting.

Rev. Dr. Cantine closed the meeting withthe benediction. y::~

THE AFTERNOON SESSION.

Eloquent Sermon on the Enrinenient ofPower by Evan.ollit Mills.

By 2:30 o'clock, when the afternoon ses-sion of the Christian convention in the Cal-vary Church was opened, the building wasfilled to its utmost capacity.

After several hymns bad been sung Cap-tain Carter led In prayer.

The third topic on the subject of the day,"The Promise of the Father." was "WeMay Receive Him." This was divided intothree heads: "By Self-renunciation," "ByFaith," "Waiting Upon God."

Rev. Dr. Henry led on the first head."Every man," said he, "by his freedom ofWill seeks to be supreme. In some sensemen was born to rule. The question ofwho is to rule is answered by the words,'one that is the brightest and best.' Self-renunciation and submission honors Godand pays tribute to his glorious characterand will, -_"*-\u25a0_

"Moral law is the willof God given toman In the commandments. Itis authorita-tive, but not compulsory. God does notforce any man to be a Christian. God doesnot force any man to become consecrated.That rests with the man himself.

"We must have the suppliant will,thesurrendered will, the Identification ofChrist's will with the will of God, the ex-ultant will, before we have this perfectblessedness, this enducmeut from onhigh."

Rev. Dr.Eastcn took up the second head."The center and pivotal point of being en-dued from on high." said he, "is the ex-ercise of faith. What the keystone is tothe arch, so is faith to the divine system.

"Take faith from the Christian life; takefaith out of the Christian system and youhave nothing but chaos. The connectinglink of this enduement from on high is faith.Purity is power; holiness is moral omni-potence; when we want perfect light,there must be perfect unwavering faith.

"What are the elements of faith? Theremust be committal. Ican understand ofno power except through Jesus ChristHow to get it? By appropriate faith."

Rev. Dr. Chapman, In speaking of thethird bead, said : "Those who come to thepoint here indicated (waiting upon God)have reached the most critical point In thisprogress. Is it necessary to wait till Godaccepts our consecration? No. Is itnec-essary to wait until God receives us? No.But after you have done all ii is necessaryfor you to wait upon the Lord tillhe give'syou the work you can do.

"Trust in the Lord and wait patiently forhim. It is good for man to hope and pa-tiently wait for the word of salvation. Itwillsurely come and not tarry.

"Why wait? Itmay be a test of earnest-ness. There is nothing batter to test earn-estness than delay. You can't dam up amountain stream, neither can you obstructthe power and zeal of the heart seeking theHoly Ghost. Delays are good to developsincerity and earnestness. There is also theripening process.

"How we wait? First, submissively;secondly, confidently; thirdly, patiently;fourthly, lovingly; fifthly, joyfully; andmay God grant that we be not discouragedwhile we are so waiting."

Mr. Millsthen made bis announcements.< :~., _._,,, published In The Call yester-day.

__•.__.. said "••-* ssTmotv s'would be vspecial baptism of toe hols spirit ..;service. "Aminister of the Gospel," saidhe, "once asked me the question 'If .viereceive the Holy Ghost, way not receivealso the power of God?' The Holy Ghosthas always been separated from the powerof God. If such power were needed, cer-tainly the disciples of Christ needed it.They had almqst an impossible task beforethem. A hundred aud twenty to conquer ahundred and twenty mil.ion-. Think of it.Ami so Christ said: 'Wait until ye receivethe promise of the Father, the power fromon high.'

"What is the Holy Ghost 7-^Teople havestrange ideas about it. Iti.nothingbut thebreat iiof God.

"Now comes the very serious question,was tills a special gift for the founding ofthe church? Have we passed the day whenthere is no necessity for the Holy Ghost Inthe work of the church? There would beone minister less if the words spoken to theApostles were for them alone. Iwouldhave no heart in me to depend upon humanresource. If1 had to depend upon my ownwisdom and power Iwould wear myself outin one week. How utterly fruitless woulditallbe without the rower of God.

"Some people .ay we need the power ofGod forsome things and our own wisdom issufficient for other tilings. We need thepower of God In all things.

"Some people even sneak of .ocularaffairs of the church. Great God! Secularaffairs of the church of Jesus Christ! Justthink of it. How did they choose the firsttrustees of the church of Christ? They saidlet us seek out men of good report, men fullof faith, men fullof the Holy Ghost.

"Until we get to the place where thevoices that sing and the hands that touchthe money are filled with the presence ofGod, Just so long will the church of Christcontinue to be afflicted with paralysis,'there is no secular lifeinconnection withthe man baptized with the Holy Ghost."

He spoke of the natives of the SandwichIslands, who had burned their Idols theday before the first missionaries arrived,claiming that it was the spirit of God pre-ceding the missionaries that mado them doit. "Oh, for the messengers to go beforeus with a power like that," said Mr.Mills,fervently.

"Now," said he, "we come to the recep-tion of this power. Ibelieve that everyman and woman lias this power and influ-ence inwinning souls to God; that they havethis definite unmistakable, practical bap-tism of the Holy Ghost in the enduementof power for service. ':'.>:;

"To get this power we must entirely for-sake sin- Allthe service of yesterday wasbut the link to fitin at this point. We mustnot only forsake sin, but consecrate everypower, every ambition and every possessionto God."Ibelieve In that definite laving hold of

Gold that shall count the things that are notas though they are; count another livingsacrifice to the Duly Ghost,

"Now, to-day, are we of three classes?Some of us who have not known the powerof God; some who have known that powerand lost it, and some who know It. Oh,that we might be of one accord in this upoerchamber, waiting for me; waiting for mol"

Those who wished to leave were requestedto do so quietly while the choir was singing,but only a few did so, almost all remainingto the after service.

TDK MECHANICS' PAVILION.

Another Taat Audience I.ant Night—."ManyNet- ConT.rilo.i.

There was another great rush to obtainseats at the Mechanics' Pavilion last nightwhen the doors were opened at 7:15 o'clock,and the Immense building was soon nearlyfilled withall classes and nationallie*. Sev-eral hundred Mongolians were seated in thebody of the hall, and seemed to take an abHorbing interest in the service.

The choir was out In full force and sangadmirably. There I.not the slightest doubtthat the music from such a large and well-trained body of fingers is not the least at-tractive feature of these meetings.

Seated in front of the choir were a num-ber of clergymen, among them being: J. C.Smith, W. E. Smith, A. 11. Driggs. J Q. A.Henry, Matthew il. Gibson, F. B. Pullan,A.C. Hirst. H. H. Wyk« it and EL EL Cole!

After the usual singing of hymns prarerwas offered by Rev. F. li.Pullan and Mr.Greenwood sang with pathos "Some OneWill Enter the Pearly Gates."

Mr. Mills selected his text from Revela-tions iii:2o: "ik-hold, Island at the doorand knock." "Sometimes," he said, "wetalk about a man seeking God, but to-nightwe have the other side— God insearch ofman. Ibelieve If every one to-night wereto follow their convictions of right everyone would come Into the kingdom of Godand would let God Into their kingdom."

_\u25a0•; He spoke of a soldier whose life wassaved by a bullet striking the Bible hecarried in hi. breast pocket. When thesoldier opened the [Bible he found the bullethad pierced through to the sentence. "Whatmust Ido to inherit eternal life?",and asthis gripped his conscience be said, "This

book has saved my Ufa and nowIwillcon-''secrate my life to God."

"God 1. knocking by the gospel," said theevangelist. "Mv brother, did no one evertry to load you to Christ? lf 1 thoughtthere was any one here to-night who neverhad a personal invitation to come to ChristIwouldlike to go to him and ask him togive his heart unto God.

"Have you listened to the pleading ofyour wife, the pleading of your child, thevoice of your pastor, to give your heart toGod?

"God ia knocking by the voice of tribula-tion. Many a man, ifby no other way, hasbeen brought unto God by the touch ofsorrow. Earth has no sorrow that God can-not heal.

"God is knocking by the direct Influenceof the Holy Spirit. You have felt the touchatmidnight; you have felt the touch whenwalking on the street; you have felt thetouch when In the midst of the congrega-tion.

"Acommercial traveler once came to moat one of my meetings and said he neverfelt so strange before. He asked me did Iknow what itmeant. Itold him it was theHoly Ghost, and asked him, 'Will you yield

to it?' he said he would, and that man wentout of the church rejoicing. Ifthere is anyway to reach your heart God willfind it.

"Oh, for men and women to make signsof the living God knocking at your heartto-night. Remember that this most solemnfact confronts you, ifyou do not admit Godinto your heart while be is pleading withyou he will turn away from you."

To illustrate this he told a pathetic storyof a personal friend, a physician, at thetime he was a missionary In the RockyMountains. He was anoble, generous man,and only lacked oue thing, the touch of thespirit. Atlast the doctor sent for him andasked to be told how to be saved.

'Tie acted like a madman, and threw him-self down on his face, uttering dreadfulcries. After being an hour in this terriblecondition he became calmer, and Iput myarm around him and pleaded with him tosubmit to God, and he said he would. Iasked him to bow down with me, but heput it off and said he would come to themeeting upxt night and do Itpublicly. Buthe did not come. Isaw him the nextmorning and he said he had settled that hewould be with me before the winter wasdone and offered mc his hand on it. Thiswas in November. Iwent East in January,aid on my return in March Inoticed evi-

dence that my friend had been drinking toomuch liquor, and that man, after Ileftagain in June, threw off all restraint tillhefinally became a drunken sot and poisonedhimself with an overdose of morphine.

"When fits. 1 knew that man there wasno more prospect of him lying in the graveof a drunkard and suicide than any onehere.

"isuppose there are some people here to-night who are near to the kingdom of God,but probably not as near as my friend wasthat day when he said "uo" to the knockingof the spirit.

"lfGod is knock ii.g at your heart, let himin now. Don't wait till to-morrow, but doitnow."Iwill only ask you one question. If

there la any impulse or desire in your soulthat might lead you to beco_M a Christian.willyou act on it? 'Will you encourage it?"Iwillask every oue who has not been a

faithful Christian or who has never been aChristian, but who desires to feel the touchof the spirit and to ask God to eucouiagethat desire to stand up.

"Bow your heads in one minute 6ilentprayer; if they are Christians pray forthem; if they are not Christians pray thatGod may come into their hearts."

Several stood on in different parts of thebuilding. Mr.Mills then offered a ferventprayer.

After the usual distribution of cards thebenediction was pronounced. More thanone-half remained to the after service.

OAKLAND'S WATER FRONT.

The Struggle inConrt Look. Wellfor the People.

Examination cf Talesmen Begun— Humors ofthe Jury-Box-Corporatioa Lawyers

Squelched.

Ttte impanelment of the jury in thewater-front suit began at 2 «*« m. yesterdaybefore Presiding Judge Henshaw. It wasa pondercuf. slew proc__din_. and whenc.urtu.ijounja,! at 5 _'.'_.__: enly tares tales-men had been exam ,

Everything depends on tne jury. Botheidfis realize this, and ceyor before has somuch importance been attached to Its mi-panelment. Mr. Moore, for the water-frontcompany, is particularly anxious iv this re-spect, as lie freely expressed the opinion

that It was the "quality" of the jury thatdid him up In the suit of Taylor vs. Fortina short time ago.

After fighting shy of it for a whole weekthe water-front company has evidently de-termined that since there must be a jury Itmust be one that is absolutely ignorant ofthe history of th«: case, whose members aretotal strangers to Davie, Fitzgerald, Bas-set* and other defendants, and who areutterly unfamiliar with the tenets of Black-stone, whether literally applied or other-wise—that corporations have no souls.

Nearly all their questions hinged on the.cpoints and many of them were answeredunsatisfactorily to the plaintiff's attorneys.Itis plain that it will be a long time before"12 good aud true men" are selected to trythe famous suit.

THE TOST IMPANELMENT.In the previous session Judge Henshaw

asked the attorneys If they could agree tohave the jury impaneled before him as pre-siding Jud-e, without the presence of theother two Judges. They replied that theycould. The first impauelment of 12 wasdrawn as follows: Frederick Khamistorf,Charles Halle, W. I).Byre, W. li.Sieden-topp, Reul-en Hunter, W. 11. Maurren, C.it. I'.iig.s, Frank Harding. George Klnsev,A. W. Barm. Anthony Milton and H. B.Sears.

.i- D..1....1 •»_._* _._. iv._ /:__» »___.____

Mr. Kahmlstorf was the first target se-lected for the fusillade of questions put byA. A. Moore.

The juror admitted that he was a readerof The Cai_t_ and knew of the case throughthat channel. He was unacquainted withany of the parties to the action. .<. .

Mr. Moore did not ask very many morequestions'after that, and the examinationof Mr. Haile next began.

"Do you know Mr. Fitzgerald?" askedMr. Moore.

"Yes, sir.""Mr. Fitzgerald, one of the defendants?""No, sir: the Mr. Fitzgerald Iknow Is a

hodcarrier.""Have you taken part in any discussion

of tills water-front case?""No, sir.""Have you heard any one say anything

derogatory to the corporation since the trialbegan?"

"Yes," sir.""What?""Iheard somebody In this courtroom say

that the whole caboodle of. them ought to behung, lawyers Included,"

Mr. Moore blew his noso In a bandanahandkerchief and Mr. Mullaney chuckled.

OPINIONS ABOUT POSSESSION.The examination of W. J). Boyce then be-gan. Mr. Moore asked him if he had any

prejudice against title by adverse posses-sion. The juror replied that be considereda paper title better. Mr. Moore continueda wearisome examination about the juror'sopinions of "paper title." and adverse pos-sessions, during which the Judge two orthree times stopped him to explain whatbearings the law dad on the matter.

Mr. Boyce said that he also was areader of The Call, but that he knewnone of the defendants, and had no particu-lar prejudice against the Southern Pacificof Kentucky as a corporation.

When Mr. Mullaney took up the exami-nation Mr. Boyce admitted that his familyami that ot Mr. Martin exchanged visits,and that they were on pretty good neigh-borly terms.

Allthree of theso jurors were passed, butthey will be subject to peremptory chal-lenge later.

After a partial examination Into W. 11.Seidentopp s sentiments Judge Hcnshawadjourned court until 10 a. m.next Monday.

CLEANING AWAY THE COBWEH3.At the forenoon session, before the ex-

amination of talesmen began. Judge Hen-shaw denied the motion of Mr. Martin thatspecial issues be submitted to the court fordecision. The ruling was that the propertime to present that point willbe after allthe evidence Is in.

After this ruling was given Mr. Martinasked that a decree to plaintiff be given forthe land north of the Feralta grant land, asthe defendants disclaimed any possessionto It.

Judge Uenshaw called the other Judgesto aid In a decision of the point, and theruling was given that this also must comeup after the evidence is In. iItwill very likely consume all of next

week to impanel a jury. One of the attor-neys said yesterday that there are going tobe some painful aud peremptory challenges,and that two or three panels. may be ex-hausted before a jury is secured. *.,'

AT SUTRO HEIGHTS.

An Early Opening of the Bath-Houses.

The Power and Engine Houses Will BeBoon Completed— Comprehensive

Flans Prepared.

The prospect for an early opening to thepublic of the Sutro baths, located on theocean beach, just north of the Cliff House,is very flattering. The years that have beenspent Inboring tunnels, blasting rock, con-structing protecting seawalls and hot andcold water tanks for the bathers has beenproductive of a very comprehensive systemof works that for luxurious completeness itwill be very bard to equal iv any of thepopular bathing resorts or the known world.The whole Idea of the water supply hasbeen based upon the action of the windsand tides at the entrance of the GoldenGate, which has been utilized to effect a con-tinual supply of fresh salt water. The waterdashing against the promontory which pro-tects the entrance to the harbor is receivedthrough a tunnel by which it is conveyedwith never ending freshness to the tanks Inwhich the bathers are to disport.

The baths are to embrace the area of the

cone, which is so well-known as a featureof the beach, and has been combined withnature to make it an ideal spot for tie pur-pose. The rocky islets have been connectedby rock embankments to the main shore,and the plans contemplate a parklike ar-rangement of the contiguous bluffs whichwill make an exquisite resort for the we .ryand health-seeking wayfarer.

The building to contain the motive rowerfor the baths is now under constructionand has progressed as far as the third story.It occupies an irregular piece of groundsoutheast ot the tunnel and east of the aqua-rium. The foundation is about on the lineof nigh-water mark, and above this a three-story structure Is to be raised and sur-rounded by an observation tower 81 feethigh. The liist story is to contain two75 horse-power boilers and an engine of 100horse-power; both boiler and engine ca-pacity to be doubled as soon as necessityrequires. The lower floor will also containthe dynamos by which the whole localitywill be Illuminated. On the second Bootthe laundry and drying appaiatus are to beplaced, and on Hie story above the em-ployes willbe housed.

From the tower, which is to be reachedbya huge elevator, a bridge to the esplanadeon the top of the bluff is to be built, allow-ing access to the park wh??h «s included inMr. Sutro's designs. 0:j th. line ol thebul ding facing the _*a, a promenad* orbalcony is to bo eonstiuctcd en bntU tb.second and thirdstorie*

THE SDTRO BATHS—MAIS BUILDING.

HISTORIC SAVERNAKE.ItWill lr-.1.-1.1 v Ho Hold by th. Notori-

ona Marqoli of All._bury.London special to the New York Herald.

The Judicial Bench of the House of Lordshas dismi.ss.rt the appeal of Lord HenryAugustus Bruce, uncle of the Marquis ofAilesbury and heir presumptive to theAilesbury estates, against the decision of

the Courtof Appeal permitting the Marquisof Ailesbury to sell the Savernake mansionand other properties.

The Marquis of Ailesbury, who is a notori-ous character and who is almost hopelesslyin debt to money-lenders, willnow have anopportunity to cancel a large part of hisfinancial obligations. The heir to the prop-erty based his objections to the sale uponthe fact that the only persons who wouldbenefit by it would be the men who haveloaned money to the .Marquis at usuriousrates of interest.

The fight, however, has availed nothing,and the historic Savernake Forest will nowpass out of the hands of the Braces. Thepurchaser of the property will probably beLord Iveagh (Edward Cecil Guinness) of thegreat brewing-house of Guinness.

Sir George Hubam. Thomas Brudenell-Bruce, Marquis and Earl of Ailesbury, Earl

of Cardigan. Viscount Savernake, BaronBrudenell of Stanton-Wyvll and BaronBruce, is commonly known as "Ducks."His wife, whose maiden name was DorothyHnsely. was a dancer, under the name ofDolly Tester, when he married her. ,

"Ducks" has degenerated from a line thathas perhaps been more noted for the historictitles Ithas held than for having made themhistoric. Still the family basdonn the statesome service. First made Barons Kinlossin 1601, having before been Martinets ofKinloss for generations, the family cameinto the English peerage as Barons Bruceof Spelton, County York, Viscounts Bruceof Amptbill, County Bedford, and Earls ofAilesburv, County Bucks, through tbe ser-vices rendered to Charles I.and the restora-tion of his son by the third Baron Kinlossand second*F_arl of Elgin Inthe Scotch peer-age.

The second Karl of Ailesbury showed hisdevotion to the Stuarts .by refusing toacknowledge the Prince of Orange as Kingthough for the maintenance of theIrotestant religion, threatened by James 11.he had joined In Inviting him into thecountry. For. this he spent some time inthe lower and was at last exiled to Brus-sels, where he died. Through his marriagewith Elizabeth, sister of the third Duke ntSomerset, the Ailesbnrys became lords ofSavernake, to-day the only "forest" In thepossession of a subject. "Duck.", succeededhis grandfather, the ____.<_ Marquis, in 1668,

when a lad of five. This was the samo yearwhen his mother, second daughter of theE.trl of Craven, died. As the year of hisattaining his many titles and lands wassignaled by his mother's death, so that ofhis birth— lS63— was marked by the deathm"111. father, a captain in the FourteenthHussars.

Dolly Tester was the star of the TheaterRoyal, Brighton, as a rattling singer andtwinkling dancer. Itmust be a good manyyears since she possessed that naturalbeauty with which some of her creaturescredither. But sho had the genius whichmade one woman In this century's historyan empress. Probably she did not expressitin such an epigram as "Sire, there is butone way to my boudoir— by the churchdoor," but she managed to make the samemeaning clear when transplanted to theComedy Theater, London, in whosecompany she met ber fate in "Ducks."This is one story. There are others. Asfas as "Ducks" is concerned it Is probablytrue. "Ducts" married her. There is noreason to suppose that he would have doneso had there been any other means of estab-lishing a senior incumbrance on her affec-tlons. ;\u25a0\u25a0:..-..

For five years they lived together in suchmanner as the scene at Mousley Lock wasthe outward and visible sign. Of the in-ward and spiritual grace of their menage at"The Hatch," their bridal country seat nearWindsor, there threatened to be some start-ing evidence in 18___ when "Ducks" broughtthe divorce suit in which "Mr.Abington"and Captain -Riley of the Tenth Hussars,the Prince of Wales' own Beau Brummelregiment during bis brief and bloodless mil-itary career, were, or were tohave been, thecorespondents. Hut the town had the rich-est morsel ever promised it snatched fromits lips when Dolly's solicitors laid before"Ducks' ".solicitors the kind of recriminationthey were prepared to go Into. "Ducks"

might not have minded that, but it is saidthat the sight of the wealth which Dollyshowed as the result of their brief separa-tion, which she had nassed on the Continent,determined him. Their reconciliation wascelebrated at a rousing dinner at the CafeRoyal. •

SAVERNAKE HOUSE.

The Man. uls of Allesbn y.

CEILINGS THAT SLIDE.

A Start-fog Discovery Mode bythe Police In Chinatown,

Headquarters of the Lottery Companies onDcpoat Street Raided-Falie Floors and

Partitions Were Smashed.

There was weeping and wailing andgnashing of teeth in Chinatown last night,for the police had raided and carried awaythe Inkpots the wheel, the pans and boxesand the reel of the paraphernalia In theroom where the drawings of several lottery_*__.___& tako place.-

The bin.-retted minions of justice did noteont.nl themselves ...... tatting .:.._ prop-erty; they smashed the furniture in theroom and annihilated several god*.

The loss of the furniture and gods wouldhave been borne with that fortitude forwhich the Mongolian is noted, and fewtears would have been shed over the cap-ture of the companies' inkpot?, brushes andtickets had not the officer*, with an unpar-donable disregard for the aspirations of theChinese lottery-players, ma their raid anbout too soon.

A DESCENT.They made their descent at 10 o'clock,

and the drawing was to take place BO min-utes later. Hence the grief that prevailedin the Mongolian quarter.

The rooms that were raided are in thesecond story of the building. 808 and 107Dupont street. On the ground floor or thisstructure there Is a general store kept byChy Tung. On the north side of this storethere is a passage containing a flight ofstairs leading to the upper story. For sometime past the police have observed largenumbers of Chinese entering tho store andemerging from the hallway on thenorth side. They came to the conclusionthat something was wrong, either in theroom at the rear of the store or upstairs.They decided to make an investigation, andlast night, under the leadership of SergeantTobin, they entered the store of Chy Tung,who regarded them with contemptuous In-difference.

COVERED JUGS.The officers paid no attention to the

covered jugs, grinning idols and uncouthplants in the store, but passed into the backroom.

"Darkness there and nothing more."They rambled about tho apartment for

some time, but were unable to find an exit,with the exception of the doorway leadinginto the store, through which they hadmade their entrance.

They lit a lamp and made an examinationof the celling. They struck it with a stickand ithad a metallic sound. They found avery narrow opening, and Into it thty in-serted the blade of a knife. Marvelous torelate, the ceiling parted in twain, one halfmoving to the left and the other to the right.

Six inches above there was what seemedto be another celling. Upon investigationitproved to be a trapdoor, locked on tneupper side. Sergeant Donellan smashed itwith an ax and the policemen ascended.

-CAMPKRIXO feet.As they did so they heard a door slammed

and the sound of scurrying feet. Theyfound themselves in a small room withoutfurniture.' The floor was strewn with thenarrow slips of white paper on which thedrawings ot the Chinese lotteries arewritten. The apartment had a window,but no door. The policemen sounded thewalls and found that one of them was com-posed of shentirou and rattled when struck.Itproved tube a movable partition secured

on the other side by a bolt. . The policebroke itdown and found themselves in anuntenanted room which contained severaltrunks filled with unmarked slips ready forthe drawing, ink, brushes, wheels and allthe other implements and devices used in alottery. All these were seized and takento the Central police station as evidence,and the furniture in the room was de-stroyed.

A close inspection of the apartment re-vealed the existence of a sliding panelopening Into the hall. Through this secretdoor the lottery-dealers had escaped.

A NEW RAILROAD LINE.

Proposed Ronte From * CastleCraig to Siskiyou County.

Cheering Message to the Projectors of theSalt Lake Line From the League of

Progress- Stoekbooks Opened.

The clipper lines are all reported as doinga surprisingly large business. The ship T.F. Oakes sailed from New York Thursdaywith 3000 tons of merchandise for mer-chants here. The Emily Reed will followand already there are more offerings thanshe can accept. For that reason Grace &Co., who are well satisfied with the supportgiven them, willput on a third ship as soonas the Emily weighs anchor.

Grace & Co. deny emphatically the reportstarted for the purpose ol frightening offthe weak-kneed supporters of the clipperservice that it willbe impossible to getshipsenough for the trade. There are any num-ber of ships available for the service, theysay, so many, Indeed, that even if the op-position wants to tie them up it willbe im-possible to do so. Such an attempt on theirpart would be a mere waste of time andmoney. - -, _

Mr. Leeds of the Traffic Association Isquite pleased with the success of the clip-pers thus far, and is devising plans for theencouragement of the sea competition. Asub-committee is already considering theadvisability of giving Balfour, Guthrie &Co. a guarantee similar to that given toGrace &Co., and will report the result oftheir deliberations either to-day or Monday.
