AID FOR FIRE SUFFERERS The Institute of Applied Chris tianity Begins a Good Work. LEASES THE OLD HOSPITAL. Will Furnish Food and Shelter to the Victims of the Big Con flagration. : The San Francisco Institute of Applied I Christianity is about to give a practical illustration of the reasons for its organiza- > tion to the people of San Francisco at once. One of the most earnest pleas of Christ, the members of the institiite hold, was for charity, and now that there is such a splendid chance to exercise that virtue, they have resolved to act. The first beneficiaries of the first practi cal work of the institute will be the suffer ers of the late big fire. When iheir home lessness and poverty were first brought to the attention of the officers of the insti tute, it was resolved at once that some steps should be taken to extend to them that aid which was so absolutely needed. It was evident at first glance that the vic tims of the big blaze needed two things, shelter and food; and. to furnish these the institute determined would be directly within its province. : : : • : For several days xhe committee which was commissioned to devise ways and means to this end was busy, at last decid ing that if the old French hospital on Bry ant . street could be secured everything could be put in a satisfactory way. "Nego tiations were at once opened, with the di rectors of the French Mutual Benevolent Society for the lease of. the building and were terminated yesterday, when the ne cessary papers were signed. / To-morrow, at the Litest, tne institute will be in fuJl possession of the building andready to render aid to the sufferers not already provided for. The exact method of work has not been outlined, but will be when the quarters in the old hos pital are ready for occupancy. This will not take lons, for the very "good reason that the building, out of which the patients have been moved, is in good condition, and very little shifting of furniture will be necessary to prepare it for the reception of the homeless. ... . . lii applying this most splendid of Chris tian virtues, the institute expects, of course, that many of the. people of San Francisco recognize that it is. better to give than to receive; and believing that, the institute's committee in 'charge, of this new .'shelter for the homeless .and ■ hungry are ready to receive contributions of all kinds, money, food and clothing, and will act as wisely alid widely as possible in the distri bution. I .::.:.: : '. "'■ ; .'.'■. ; The members of the institute propose to go further in this work of applied Chris tianity than the. mere raring for the suffer ers, frotri • the lire. .When," in the days to Corhe, the victims .of that conflagration shall .have re-entered their; own homes, the doors of the; old French Hospital will con tinue to open in warn and. the members will act as goodalmoriers for the unfortu nate women 1 and girls of the City who have neither homes,- nor food, nor cloth ing, who are emaciated; by sickness and mental worry, ' who : - have none to hlep them., This work, the members of the in stitute think, is the true following of Christ,, and her propose to continue on and extend on : ttie same line;. They are anything but pleased, however, with certain statements made;' by : people unfriendly to the institute, particularly with those to the effect that it was formed for the purpose of advancing' the ideas of Professor Herron. At a re cent meeting of the. institute, the Rev. "VV. J. Ferguson prepared tne following state ment of the aims, objects and principles of. the organization: "•••■.■;' - .The- purpose of this' institute is fully ex pressed in this statement from our constitu tion': ".To study: ln common how'to.apply the principles of Christianity to modern problems of 'society." Let it be very plainly and em phatically ' said that the : institute was not : foun.dedto. 'fen-force the teachings of Professor Herran, 1 ' or of any other man. We are not disciples. of. Professor- Herrou, and he would he the last man to desire that we Should be. We are disciples of Christ and are seeking to know ■■what he .has to say Of the problems of our modern life. ' • /aY • We believe' that his teachings contain the solution of- all our economic and social diffi .cnlties, and we wish to assert his teachings as the law of political and industrial life for the world. We' are working in the interest of no political party or sect or religion, but in the • broad interest of humanity. ' \ •« We want to res-cue life from the service of parly and sectarianism and restore it. to. the •service of the' whole people. We have no con troversy with any one. except in so far as he may be opposed to the application of Christ's teachings to all departments of conduct. With such a man we do have a controversy, because God has a controversy with him. We want to know what are the principles and methods by which men can righteously acquire property, do business and govern the city and the state. ' We want to know what the second commandment and the golden rule require of us, and what changes must be made in our present methods and institutions before we can obey them. We expect that obedience to these great fundamental laws will require changes little short of revolutionary, but are not afraid of their application, for we expect to have justice and good order and government only when these laws shall be supreme. We have nothing to do with theological controversies or doctrines, but we propose that the church shall hear what the social teaching of Christ is. This it is our purpose both to study and to tench. We invite the co-opera tion of every one who approves this purpose, and we think we have a right to expect the co operation of all who profess to accept, cer tainly of all who really accept, Christ's teach ings as their supreme authority in matters of conduct. People of all churches and of no church are welcomed to the institute who ap prove cur principles. This statement is made to correct the mis takes that have appeared In certain reports and interviews in our City papers, and that when people oppose this institute it may be. clearly understood what it is they oppose, and why they oppose it. If we have made any mistake in our purpose or in believing that the practice of Christ's teaching would correct our social wrongs, we are ready to be instructed.. Fur ther, if we shall make any mistakes in our in terpretations and applications of his teachings, we are anxious to be set right. But we wish to protest against being called "Herronites." We cannot be • disposed of in that . way. We wish also to express our regret that the presence of such an organization as ours snould be re garded as dangerous to any institution. We hope to be dangerous to unjust institutions only. ■ » '• ' ,•:'.-;;■?. LIGHTING OP THE PAEK. A Plant May lie Krectbd Solely to Illu minate the Driveway. Another course than that originally in tenaed will probably be taken to secure the lighting of Golden Gate Park. It was at first planned to purchase the lights from an electric company. Now it is more than probable that the light will be generated by a plant erected especially for that pur pose. The terms asked by an electric company for maintaining tlie lights were deemed exacting, as they included a guarantee for three years. J. M, Wilkins, one of the gentlemen interested, now proposes to establish an electric plant himself. "I have a boiler and furnace," explained Mr. Wilkins yesterday. "I also have a lot at Eighth and D streets. A dynamo and sufficient lights are offered me cheaply and if no other opportunity offers of get ting the lights at reasonable figures I will establish a plant myself. •'I have been figuring with an expert electrician on the cost of the plant and the expense of keeping up the lights. lam satisfied that ftt $10 a month for each lamp 1 would be. able to supply the lights with a small profit." It. D. Haggerty, who is vice-president of the present Park Illuminating Association, agrees with Mr. Wilkins. On Friday steps will be taken to have a meeting of those interested and a fund will be started to pay the rent of the necessary lights.

Wrecked Manhood and Womanhood — The Worst Cases Completely Restored to Health and Happiness. NERVOUS DEBILITY Of every kind, name and nature, treated far in advance of any institution in the country. This distinguished doctor's success in cases of this character has been really phenomenal. YOUNG MEN. There are thousands of you troubled with night emissions, sleeplessness, pimples on face, bashfulness, aversion to society, loss of energy, ambition and self-confidence; a tired, discontented, despondent and gloomy feeling, failing of memory, confusion of ideas and so forth. If you are suffering from these or simi- lar symptoms you know the reason. Whether these exhausting drains and terrible troubles come from former folly or from other causes, they continually rob both your body and brain, and absolutely unfit you for study, business, or the proper enjoyment of either married or single life. Do not neglect yourself or allow false pride and sham modesty to deter you in seeking relief. Many a bright and naturally gifted young mar, magnificently en- dowed with genius, has permitted his ailment to run on and on until finally, with body wrecked and intellect gone, death claimed its victim. Before it is everlastingly too late, consult DOCTOR SWEANY, who thoroughly understands your trouble, and will treat it with unfailing success. Get cured and be a n'.aii among men, and among women as well. MIDDLE-AGED AND OLD MEN. Many of you are afflicted with weak, aching backs and kidneys, frequent, painful urination and sediment in urine, impotence or weakness of.seiual organs and other unmistakable signs ot nervous debility and premature decay. Many die of this difficulty, ignorant of the cause, which is the second stage of seminal weakness. In justice to DOCTOR SWEANY it can be truthfully said that in all such cases of middle-aged men, as well as of young men, his success has been almost invariable. The most obstinate cases solicited, treated and cured. PRIVATE Diseases are more prevalent than generally supposed, and among them all none is more horrible than Syphilis. Indeed, if not checked in time, it becomes even more horrible in its secondary and tertiary stages than leprosy itself.
