trill 11. E. Chut

Tho regular business meeting of the Chris-tian Endeavor Society was held last night inthe Central Methodist Episcopal Church onMission street, near Sixth. The President,R. V. Watt, presided.

Afterroutine business had been transacteda debate was announced upon the subject,"Besolved, that women shall be admittedas delegates to General Conference." Theaffirmative was supported by C. A. Parmel-lee and Mrs. T. W. Nowlin, and the nega-tive by F. H. Jackson and Miss M. Meriug.

The subject originated in the extraordi-nary interest manifested at the last generalconference of the Methodist EpiscopalChurch in the attendance of five women asdelegate?, the presence of the fair sex beingunknown up to that time at those assembliessince the birth of the church a century ago.Discussion over the matter occupied a week'slime at the conference, and it resulted inordering a vote on whether women shouldbe admitted as delegates, the voting to beconfined to allmembers, aged 21 years andover, of the church in the United States andto take place in October and November ofthis year.

Voters have not betrayed that interest inthe matter which was anticipated, and atGrace Church in the Mission, although thereare 500 members, yet only 58 votes werecast. The members of the Central Churchwillassemble at the polls on the last Fridayin this month to cast their votes.

The Chairman nauftd the followingasjudges of the debate: Mrs. William Ab-bott, Dr. E. E. Kelly aud C. A.Spelling.Tho arguments advanced by the debaterswere of a character familiarized by the dis-cussion of the Woman's Bights' questionduring many years past.

TheChairman then called for a vote of theAssembly upon the merits of the questionwhich gave the subject for debate and 30voted iniavor of the admission of womandelegates to the General Conference and 36voted against.

The contractors for the improvement ofFifth street (Second avenue) have beenserved with a notice from several property-owners that they will resist the payment oftheir assessments, and in consequence workon the street has been suspended. Theproperty-owners are dissatisfied with thecurb-lines, as they make the width of thesidewalks uneven, the walk on the westside being twelve feet wide, while that onthe east side is only nine. .

The residents of this city ate commencingto think that the bridge across the tidalcanal cut on Park street willnot be builtformany years to come. The bids for the con-struction of the stone piers upon which thebridge willrest have been rejected on theground that they are too high, nnd anotherlong delay in obtaining this much desiredimprovement will probably ensue. Theneed of the bridge will be badly felt thiswinter, as the Webster-street roadway, theprincipal thoroughfare connecting this citywith Oakland, is in a wretched condition atpresent, and when the rainy season sets inwillhardly be passable.

________________OUT OF PRISON.

By a Clever Trick a Chinese IsSet at Liberty.

Ah Tong was arrested with sixteen otherChinese in a tan game den on Boss alley,September Ist, by Sergeant Spillane andposse. He was placed In a cell in the CityPrison, and bail was given in the sum of$250 for him. Yethe is still a prisoner.

Tong is old, infirm, and in consequence ofno use nor marketable value to his country-men. His time does not cut much ofa fig-ure when compared with that of the youngerand more active coolies, whose earningsrepresent a certain pro-rata in the coffers ofthe company to which be belongs. Andthis is the reason why Tong still lingers ina prison cell.

A fellow-prisoner, young and valuable,comparatively, was set free upon the bailintended for Tong through the clever schem-ing of the Mongols outside. This youngerChinese was guilty of another crime, and,by all accounts, a worse one than 'long's.Where be is now the officers cannot ascer-tain.

This alone is not so bad, but there is an-other aspect to the matter which mixesthings inextricably. Accounts cannot bebalanced because of the transfer. There isa deficit, and on the wrong side for theofficials, who maintain secrecy regarding thematter. No blame is attached to any one,as the prisoners are Chinese and defeat themost watchful officers with trickery. Oneman is gone, however, nnd*if Tong insistson being released be cannot be legally re-strained, as the bond for bail is inhis name.By the trick one prisoner got free, and inallprobability the Chinese attorney will de-mand Tong's release.

From this itmay bo seen how the wilyChinese manage to take a man from prisonand get another released on bonds, the lat-ter cf course legally. The ingenuity, aswell as the boldness of the scheme, has as-tounded the police authorities. Ithad neverbeen attempted before, though prisonerswere often substituted by "dummies."

The prison officials are greatly exercisedover the affair, which they keep to them-selves.it was not possible to ascertain what

charge was against the escaped Chineseprisoner, though the belief is that it was afelony.

Committee.By a unanimous vote the club decided to

expel Mr. Berthier without giving him ahearing.

Next inorder was a financial problem. Itwas a proposition to pay oue-half of the ex-pense incurred by the long-distance celebra-tion nt Metropolitan Temple. Gildea wasarguing that the club should pay the moneywhen some one sarcastically said, "What'sthe matter with some of the prominent Dem-ocrats who were seated on the stage payingfor the fun."Itwas argued that the club had not been

consulted before the meeting, and that itsname bad been used without authorization;that It was the duty of the Toung Men'sState Democratic league tosee that tbe bills,amounting to over 6200, were paid. -

J. J. Flynn remarked: "We seem to hepoor-house for the Democracy. What's thematter with the State Committee aud theManhattan Club."

The club finallydecided to pay half thebills and the matter was referred to a com-mittee of three to attend to the payment.

Clitus Barbour read a resolution offeringan excuse for the defeat of the Democraticticket in the State, and stating itwas timefor the party io reorganize. "IfUuckleyand his County Committee," the resolutionwent on, "step down and out, well andgood, and ifnot, we must east them over-board as the Jonahs of the Democraticship."

The matter was referred to the Committeeon Resolutions without comment, and theclub adjourned.

Cardinal Manning, the Catholic Arch-bishop of Westminster, England, address-ing a d'lfgation of prominent Jews wbopresented him a congratulatory address onthe occasion of Ins jubilee, said: For nearlyforty years London has been my homo, andin that time all the forms of suffering, pov-erty and vice have come before me. Icantheicfore bear witness to the charity andgenerosity of my Jewish fellow-country-men. Ihave found them forward in allgood works." In the care of your children,your sick, your poor, you give us a nobleexample of generosity and efficiency. Thereare, Ibelieve, only three indestructible ele-ments in the history of man—the people andthe faith of Israel, the Catholic Church,which sprung from it,and the world, whichhas persecuted both. The world is perpet-ually recruited from both sides by thosewho are unworthy the name they near. Asthe world grows ivmass itgrows in malice;and if our forecasts are true, Imight evensay

—as much as what has been foretold

is certain— warfare of the world againstall who believe in God willgrow and spreadin power for its final conflict and its finaldestruction.
