Dr. Stebbisa at the First Unitarian Church Yesterday. ' A very large congregation filled the First I Unitarian Church, at Geary and Franklin street?, yesterday looming, the occasion be- ing a memorial service in honor of Thomas Slarr King. The services consisted of ?ong, praise and prayers, the entire congregation, joining in one of the songs. Rev. Horatio Stebbins, pastor of the church, preached an elrquent sermon eulo- gistic of the memory of Thomas Starr King, taking for the text the story of faith, as told in the lives of Moses and of David. He pre- faced his sermon by stating that the day had been set apart for praise nn-.l song to the memory of one who died young, and yet whose life was one of usefulness and loyalty to God and humanity. llev. Dr. Stebbins gave a brief summary of the life and preachings of Thomas Starr King, who died upward of thirty years ago — "longer," he said, "than the years that he lived." The dead man, he said, "belonged to thai type of humanity who matured early, and young as lie was at the time of his death lie had served lor four years as a minister of the Unitarian faith." Many incidents of the life of the dead man were recalled and the memories of many in the congregation were refreshed, for he was well known to the older mem- bers. Dr. Stobliins touched briefly but elo- quently on the tribute of bronze and gran- ite that is being built, and which will shortly be erected as a monument to the dead man. During the services the following selec- tions were rendered by the choir: Orßan, ••Pilgrims' Chorus" R. Warner To l>euni Max Vogrlch Tenor solo, -Be lliou Faithful" (St. raw) Alfred Viilulo Soprano solo (with viulln oMigato), " Light of Heaven,** Gounod Sirs. J. M. li.Tic and Mr. .1. Josephs. Violinsolo, •• Stradilia's Prayer" htradelta Air.J. Josephs. Before beginning his sermon Rev. Mr. Stebbins announced that on next Sunday there would be no service?, the choir, and the entire congregation in fact, having been in- vited to Oakland un that day to participate in tre dedication of the new Unitarian Church. On the following Sunday the Itev. Minot Savage of Boston would preach from the pulpit of the First Unitarian Church. Dr. Stebbins himself will be absent for several weeks, leaving for the East some time this week. While absent he will at- tend the coming conference at Saratoga. Thomai Starr Kino- ACROSS THE BAY. Impressive Funeral of W. E. Dar- gie's Daughter. T!ie funeral of little Errnlnia Dargle, daughter of Senator and Mrs. \V. E. Dargie, at tlie Church of the linniaciilute Conception yesterday afternoon, was largely attended, the large obnrcfa being filled with friends of the parents who sympathize with them in their bereavement. The church was hand- somely decorated with flowers and the floral offerings fur the deceased were numerous. A full choir led in the mass. Rev. Thomas McSweeney of St Francis de Sales Church cfficiatcd and delivered an eloquent sermon, taking for his text the account of the miracle of the Lord Jesus in raising to life the sou of the widow of Xain while he was being carried to the grave, as found in Luke vil. The reverend gentleman then ex- plained that tint great savior is nnw here with us, but for his own wise pur- poses he has decreed that we may not have miracles in our day. In a touching manner he referred to the bereaved parents. Tnoy could not have their dear and beautiful child with them any more in this life, but she had only gene before to that life where there i -i no sin, and he could voint them to that heaven whither she had gone. He did not think she was taken away too soon. '"For," said he, "alter all, friends, when you come to the clo.-ing of this life there is but little hi it." lie would not for n mo- ment say that we must not live an active and busy life, but it is not best to give to this life all of one's energies. What will it avail us if we have pleasure and fame and honor and riches and all the other things of this life, if we lose our souls? lie re- ferred to the present happiness of the de- parted child and spoke many worth of sympathy. Rev. William (ileeson of St. Anthony's Church, East Oakland, and Rev. James King of the Church of the Immacu- late Coucoption, were present. BTBKET-CABS COLI.ITiE. Shortly before 7 o'clock last night an electric car of the Oakland and Berkeley liapid Transit Company ran into collision with a car of the Fourth-street horse-car lino of tho Consolidated Piedmont Cable Company at tho crossing of (Jrove and Fourteenth streets. The platform and one end of the lmrse-car was badly crushed. One of the mail-carriers was on the horse- car and received slight injuries to his face and one of his legs. The horse of the l'ied- nmnt line was slightly injured. Ths elec- tric-car was scratched up and the front slightly damaged. It is said the horse-car driver rani? his bell, but claims the electric motor man raid no attention to it. As the Fourteenth-street line has been running for years and tho (ircve-street line has b;en only lecently built the former claims the light of way on the crossing.

Saiiborn Speaks on "Grave- yard Legislation." Attorney Joseph Leggett opeued tlie meeting of the Single Tax Society last even- ing with a brief address on the principles of the association Tne adoption of the sincle tax, he held, meant the abolition of nil taxes upon industry and the products of industry. It means the taxing of tue value of land without regard to the improvements upon it, compelling the holder to contribute tv the support of the Government, not in proportion to what he produces or accumu- lates, but in proportion to the value of trie natural opportunities in bis possession. Mr. Lrggett supplemented his address by reading au article from the New York World on the progress of the free trade movement in New South Walessincn Henry George visiteU that country a year ago. Miss Currie preceded the sppaker of the evening, A. H. Sanborn, with vocal and in- strumental music. Sanboru's theme was " Graveyard Legislation." He dwelt at length upon the proneuess of mankind to accept laws and customs as they exist, with- out asking whether they are good or bail. He ari-uea that it is the duty of the citizen to make or abolish all laws ns he sees fit. The existing land laws are a legacy from our dead and buried forefathers, and are ac- cepted simply because they were in exist- ence when we came upon the earth. Private property in laud, the speaker said, is equivalent to private property in man, since land is absolutely necessary to man's existence, and the owner of laud is in a posi- tion to exact in rent all that the producer can produce over a living.
