10 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, MONDAY, APRIL 8, 1895 GOLDEN GATE PARK JOTS, ; A New Track Being Prepared for Those Who Ride on Bicycles. A ROMANTIC RUSTIC BRIDGE. One of the Pretty Roads In a Not Much Traveled Over Section. “The Commissioners,” said Superintend- ent McLaren of Golden Gate Park yester- day, “‘are putting the finishing touches on a road specially set apart for the use of bicyele riders. south of the speed- track and opens from the north drive just before reaching the track. It is a little over a mile long and at the west end joins | the main drive that runs to the ocean beach. It will be ready in a few days, and will, no doubt, prove a great convenience to those who ride on the wheel. Park Commissioner Austin said: Eventually this special road, which is twenty feet wide, will be extended east tc vatory Valley, and then it will be a fin It is_the purpose of the Commis- provide a particular road for the ders, who are becoming very numer- bicyele-i at 15, we do not want to force them to ous. take any particular road, but we want to _edu- | cate them to the necessity of following in the lines that we propose to lay down for them, | nia. The subject of the lecture was the | Lutheran Church. Of this he gave an in- | teresting historical review and devoted | himself to the cause that led Martin Luther to separate from the church of the period and proclaim the articles which re- wsulted in the establishment of the Protest- ant Church. The Lutherans, he declared, now number one million and a (‘unner and in this city there are eight Lutheran churches, one of them English. The next lecture of the se- ries will be delivered on the evening of the | 21st inst., and the topic will be the Presby- | terian Church. |KILLED BY A CABLE CAR. John ¥. McMahon, a Plasterer, Meets With an Untimely Death. John F.McMahon, a plasterer, aged 37 years and living with his brothers at5 Bernard street, was run over and killed by a cable car at Jackson street and Central ayenue at 5 o’clock yesterday afternoon. The deceased was well known in the city, | where he had lived all his life. He was | unmarried. | It appears that McMahon and several | friends were returning from Golden Gate Park, where they had spent the afternoon. They took a Jackson-street car at the Cali- fornia-street junction. | “Everything went well until the car swung_around the corner at Central ave- { nue. McMahon, who was riding on the front of the car and who had received a transfer for this point, had left his seat | preparatory to leaving the car, when he was_ thrown off. He fell across the other track and a car coming from_the opposite direction struck him. His skull was frac- tured and his leg broken, and when picked up he was unconscious and died shortly afterward. The Coroner was notified and the body | was removed to the Morgue, where an in- | quest will be held. McMahon was well RUSTIC BRIDGE OVER WHICH BICYCLISTS WILL RIDE. [Sketched by a “Call” artist.] and to show them that it is dangerous to mingle with all kinds of teamson a general road. I want tosay thatwe do not anticipate any trouble with members of regularly organ- ized bicycle club, but the trouble will be with the novices who are just learning toride. That class always insists on going wherever it pleases, regulations or no regulations. 1t is our intention to establish a footpath for pedestrians, & main drive for teams of all kinds end s road for bicyclists. Whether we can carry out our ideas remains to be seen. There is & very pretty rosd in the park that passes through & most romsantic spot, which, I am BOITY 10 say, is not patronize serves to be. The road to which the superintendent alluded is indeed a charming one. It com- mences at the north side of the north drive, a very short distance from the sign- | board which conveys the information that “This is three miles from the Baker-street entrance to the park,” and the bicycler who wishes to turn into it is advised of its exictence by a large sign on which is painted: THIs PATH MAY Be USED For BICYCLES. This path, well macadamized, atout fif- teen feet wide, is meandering, and passes | through a younez forest of pine trees, the odor of which at this time fills the atmos- Phern with a most delicious fragrance. It s slightly undulating, but not sufticient at any place to fatigue one who knows how to ridve an iron steed. As the rider advances he comes to quite a pond, the home of the croaking bm‘llfrogs whose music on moon- light nights fills the air. Across_this pond there is a substantial rustic,bridge. ‘Ateither side of the eastern end of this bridge there is a tall pine, like a sentinel on guard, and on the edge of the ond on all sides are evergreens, whose gouzhs bend low to meet pond-lilies that appear on the surface. gouth there is an unfinished arched rustic bridge, intended at some time to connect with a footpath leading to the main drive. In its unfinished condition it enhances the beauty of the romantic scene. Then from thiudpoim may be heard the roar of the broad Pacific in the distance. A rush over the bridge and a dash over @ bit of road and the bicyclist finds him- gelf on the great ocean boulevard. Bean- tiful as the spot around the rustic bridge is by day, it is charming on a bright moonlight night. Did the bicyclists but know tgis road better, it is safe to say that many would take it in preference to the main drive with its many teams. The park yesterday was crowded by all classes of geople, who listened to the music, watched the animals and the birds and gazed at the wonders in the new museum. The flowers, which are now in full bloom, were admired by the fair sex, and every one seemed to be happy. T.C. Lawson has donated to the museum 8 number of curios from Alaska, and these were on exhibition yesterday. Commissioner Austin stated that the work of arranging Conservatory Valley for the band stand will be commenced with the next fiscal year. “The people’s park should be beautified more than it is now, but to do this requires more money than is allowed us at present. The Super- visors should be made to see the necessity for allowing more money than they are allowing us. They shoulid take into con- gideration that every acre of land we claim means increased cost to maintain it in order. The cars running to Sutro Heights and the ocean beach did a rushing business yesterday—thousands visiting these places to enjoy the sights and the refreshing air. THE LUTHERAN OHURCH. Rev. W.

A DEADLY FLOW OF GAS | Austin Texas Brockinton, Boy Six Years Oid, Asphyxiated. a : His Sister Turned On the Gas, Then Fainted and Falled to i Light It. Austin Texas Brockinton, a boy 6 years of age, was found dead in bed from asphyxiation in a room of his father’s resi- dence, 1521 Post street, at 10:30 o’clock yesterday morning. | At the hour stated an elder brother of the unfortunate boy was sent by his | father, B. K. Brockinton to call the lad and his 15-year-old sister, who occipied | the same room. Austin was found dead in_his bed. The girl was lying uncon- scious on the floor in the middle of the room, holding in one hand a bunch of matches. The gasjet, which was just over | her head, was turned on to the full and | the room’ was heavily charged with gas. | The father of the children was immedi- ately called in. Dr. Frisbee, who lives at | 1922 Sutter street, was sent for and quickly | responded to the call. e girl, who was very near death, was brought to consciousness with much diffi- | culty and will recover. The young lad, | however, was past all medical skill. In | fact, he had been dead several hours. The | fact'that the girl lay on the floor below the | denser strata of the gas saved her life. | Had she been in a position two or three | feet higher from the floor she, too, would havedied from the effects of the constantly | increasing flow of gas. The girl, who occupied the room with her younger brother, was subject to head- aches .nfi fainting spells. HKarly in the morning, some time before dayl?ht, she had been taken suddenly ill and rose to light the gas in order to take a dose of medicine. Her young brother was sound asleep at the time, and never woke again. She had turned on the gas and was in the act of lighting a match to ignite the jet when she fell in a faint, and | flowed in and filled the rodm. hus the gas ——————————— DUFFY'S DIFFICULTY. Mrs. Brewn Says She Is His Only Mother-in-Law. Thomas James Duify, an ex-driver of the Fire Department, was arrested yester- day on board the schooner Volante at the instance of Mrs. Brown, living at 1012 Bat- tery street. Mrs. Brown alleges that she is Duify’s only mother-in-law, and that an- other swoman disputes with her that proud distinction. She does not love her son-in- | law, but no other woman shall possess him in that relationship, so she procured his | arrest on a charge of bigamy. Duffy states™ that he married Mrs. | Brown’s dnu%hter under the agreement | that he would be permitted to procnre a | divorce next day or any day in the imme- | diate future, and afteriue was safe bound in matrimony the Browns refused to let him go. Mr. Duffy doesnot mention in what miraculous manner his new relations were going tooverturna statute of the | State of California, but pending the nulli- | fication of a civil law he anticipated them } by marrying Miss Mary McCurran of this city four days after his first wedding. Duffy then shipped on board of the Vo- lante and was about to sail when he was arrested by the harbor police. Highest of all in Leavening Power.— Latest U. S. Gov’t Report Roxal Baking Powder ~ ABSOLUTELY. PURE " | organized and the. result was that the DAGGETT IS NOT ANGRY. But He Will Wield the Ax at the Mint With a Ven-~ geance. HAS SQUANDERED PATRONAGE. He Says He Is Disgusted With Dem-~ ocrats Who Break Thelr Promises. There is a feeling of unrest in the Demo- cratic camp, and John Daggett, superin- tendent of the San Francisco*Mint, is the cause of it at the present time. Mr. Dag- gett has that tired feeling, which bodes ill for some of those who are his subordinates and appointees. And it is all due to the fact that the Democratic State Senators refused to go into caucus on the matter of the United States Senatorship and stand together for one man—that is to say, for Mr. Daggett— as that gentleman says they should have done. As a consequence, appointments to positions in the Mint, which were made for party interests, will be unmade by Mr. Daggett and his ax will fall wherever he thinks it will do the most good. I squandered party patronage on per- sons who refused to do party service,’”” said Mr. Daggett last night, *‘and I am sorry forit. During the contest for the United | States Senatorship the party was left dis- Democrats voted for Tom, Dick and Harry. Tne fact that the Democrats were in the minority and had no chance of winning was no excuse at all. I didn’t care a snap of my fingers whether they voted for me or some other good Democrat. That wasn’t the point at issue, although the bolters did pledge themselves to vote for me. Biggy came to me and made a stron, plea for the Jaundry work of the Mint an for the appointment of his broth er. “In return for those favors he promised to vote for me. Gesford promised the same, and I gave his sister a place. She isout of it now. Senator Fay secured his brother’s appointment on the promise of deing the fair thing. Well, he didn’t do it. “Of course, I'm g}oin to discharge Big- gv's brother, and Fay’s brother, too. owe this justification” to the Democratic party, which, I consider, has been buncoed out of patronage, “The differences that often arise between members of a political party rarely de- serve publication,” continued Mr. Daggett, ‘“‘but when the views of one side are pa- | raded before the public a silence on the | | part of those assailed might be con- | strued as acquiescence. and become mis- leading. Therefore I will say that my | action in disposing of the patronage of the Mint was governed entirely by my judg- ment as to the fidelity to party interests of the recipients of patronage. My person- ality cut no figure in the case further than that I happen to be the first individual upon whom the test was applied. Had any other member of the party been inter- ested .I should have pursued the same course. I do not know of a single previous | instance in the history of the Democratic | party in this State when its representa- | tives refused to go into caucus and thereby | maintain its organization. I feel proud that the bolting example was not set by my friends. “The flimsy excuse of ‘Stockton conven- tion reading me out of the party’ is all rot, in the face of the fact that in the first State | convention succeeding that held at Stock- ton I was a member, and without solicif tion on my ?art was made first vice chair- man of the State Central Committee by the leaders of the Stockton movement, and I served in that capacity for three consecu- tive terms. Iam inclined to believe that favors from a bold, bad man,’ are appre- ciated only when they are about to be lost to such as are airing their complaints in this case. “‘My distribution of the patronage of the Mint_is best justified from the acknowl- edged fact that it was the greatest factor in the nomination and_election of James H. Budd, the only Democratic Governor elected north of Mason and Dixon’s line at the last election, and such a result was ob- tained against the strenuous opposition of those now carpinlg at me. “As for Mr. Popper's criticisms, I will say that my spurs for party service were | won long before he was boosted into politics and affluence by a partnership with Chris Buckley, and his want of grati- tude to his sponsor, as shown by a failure to ‘whack up a divvy’ until called down, should shut him out of the controversy, at least until he could make an answer to a Grand Jury that would not, according to his own statement, send him to the peni- tentiary. His caliber is measured by the fact that just as soon as Mr. Buckley got out from under him, he fell so heavily that he has been unable to gather any appre- ciable quantity of himse%f since. “So far as my appointment to the sug:r- intendency of the Mint is concerned,” Mr. Dugfien went on, “I secured that myself. Ihad ample indorsement from the banks and other business men of this city and a majority of the business men of the State, and I also possessed the confidence of President Cleveland. I am glad to say that my accounts have been found correct and everything satisfactory to the Treas- ury Department. At the present time I am running the Mint, and I will run it for some time to come. I shall appoint and discharge men as I may see fit and proper for the best interests and advancement of the Democratic party, all things being equal as regards efficiency and fidelity to duty. I am not angry; Iam simply dis- gusted with the un-gemocntic methods adopted by some men who claim affilia- tion with the Democratic party.” - THE PORT WARDEN FIGHT, It Will Begin in Earnest on Wednesday or Thurs- day Next. Governor Budd’s Appointees Are Confident They WIll Be Seated. The fight over the three Port Warden- ships will begin in earnest next Wednesday or Thursday. Governor Budd has evi- dently satistied himselfas to the law in the case, and has accordingly signed the com- mission of P. J. Harney, Nelson Provost and H. R. Atwood, and as soon as these gentlemen have taken the oath of office they will at once make a demand for the places held by A. J. Martin, B. J. Watson and J. W. Gage. The latter were ap- pointed by ex-Governor Markham, and they assert that they have another year to serve. In reply to this assertion, Governor Budd’s appointees produce a copy of the records on file in the office of the Secretar; of State. Under the bead of ‘Port Ward- ens” is the following entry: Date of Date of ‘When Nawe. | Commis- | Filing Term sion. Oath. | Expires. 8K Thornton| Jan 28,91/ Jan 50, 01 Jan 20, '95 J.

W. Gage is a master mariner, A. J. Martin is a liquor dealer, B.J. Wat- son is a mining man and Sam K. Thorn- ton was a commercial traveler when he re- ceived the appointment. Gage was there- fore the only master mariner appointed. As soon as the commissions, arrive and ‘Harney, Provost and Atwood have taken the oath of office the above facts will be embodied in a complaint and a suit will be begun to oust Martin, Watson and Gage. But Governor Budd's appointees have still another string to their bow, Samuel Braunhart, who has taken Thornton’s place will Iom issues with the Budd faction and establish a de facto Board of Port ‘Wardens. ‘This would leave the old board with only three members, and it would therefore be an illegal body on a second count. _“Our Commissioners will probably ar- rive to-day,” said Major Harney last night. ‘“Then we have ten days in which to take the oath of office. We will all do that at once and then we will make a demand upon the present Wardens for the office. If they refuse to resign we will invoke the aid of the law and will also take whatever other steps we deem necessary to secure our seats. ““The commissions held by Messrs. Gage, Martin and Watson are dated March 27, 1891, and are for a term of four years. The time has expired and they are virtually out of office. We will insist upon taking our seats because in 1899 some one might spring the same contention at us if we waited until 1896 to take office and at- tempted to serve until 1900. Governor Budd was sure of his position before he signed our commissions, and I am equally confident that we will compose the Board of Port Wardens before the month is out.” Messrs. Martin, Watson and Gage are equally confident that their terms do not expire until 1896 and assert ;that the entry in the records of the Secretary of State is a DURING THE HOLY WEEK, Arrangements for Observing Passion Ceremonies in the- Churches. SERVICES ON PALM SUNDAY. Spéclal Sermons Will Be Delivered on Good Friday and Easter. Palm Sunday was celebrated in many of the city churches yesterday. The custom of distributing sprigs of palm among the worshipers on this day isan old one; it dates back to the early Christian church, and springs from the historical incident attending the entrance of Christ into Jeru- salem. As he approached the city he was greeted by the people, who broke sprigs from palm trees and scattered them in his path as an evidence of their devotion. The early Christian church adopted the inci- dent as a custom of the church, and has since blessed leaves of palm or other green boughs and distributed them among the people in commemoration of the Savior’s reign in Jerusalem. In all the Catholic churches yesterday palms were distributed before the celebra- i el ACOLYTES DISTRIBUTING PALMS AT THE CATHEDRAL.

Organist Benjamin Clark fur- nished music for the ceremony and a Masonic male quartet sang beautiful chants dedicated to the organization. The bier was placed midway between the altar and the grand master’s chair and around it sat the widow of deceased and his other sorrowing relatives. Masses of ber of set pieces surrounded it, among them being a Jarge model of. the steamer Columbia, fashioned in everlastings, pansies and roses and resfinE on a bank of calla lilies. It was contributed by the officers of the ship and the members of Marine Engineers’ Association. 7 3 The interment was made at the Masonic Cemetery and the pall-bearers were: For the chapter, George Ditterla and E.

A. J. Martin said last night cut flowers covered the coffin and a num- |- tion of the mass. The Passion of the Lord was also read. In some of the churches the Passion was read by the celebrant of the mass in Latin and in English from the pulpit. The Passion was from the gospel of S8t. Mathew, and describes the betrayal, arrest and crucifixion of the Savior. Palm Sunday marks the beginning of the last week of Lent, which will be a bus; one in church circles. Next Thursday will be Holy Thursday. It commemorates the institution of the Holy Eucharistin the Christian church. The Holy Sacrament is carried in procession on this day from the altar to a repository which is prepared in the church and which is decorated with flowers and illuminated with lighted candles. On Good Friday the Mass of the Pre- sanctified—that is, there is no consecration of the Eucharist—is celebrated. The Blessed Sacrament is taken from the repository and brought back to the altar and received by the celgebmting priest. On Good Friday night the Passion of Christ will be com- memorated by the devotion of the Stations of the Cross, after which a special sermon will be preached. The following will be ! the speakers at the churches named on Friday : St. Mary’s Cathedral, Amhblshug Riordan; Old St. “Mary’s, Father Clark; St. Charles, Father O’'Mahoney; Holy Cross, Father Hugh Gallagher, 8. J., of San Jose James, Father O’Neill of 8t.

On Holy Saturday there will be the cere- mony of the blessing of the new fire, the consecration of water for the font of bap- tism and the celebration of the mass for the eve of Easter. It was the custom of the early Christian church to celebrate mass at midnight, but the mass is now celebrated during the day. On Easter Sunday there will be a solemn mass to commemorate the Resurrection of Christ from the grave. Rev. Father Wyman, the acting pastor, will preach the 11 o’clock mass on Easter Sunday at old St. Mary’s. The Paulist fathers propose, as soon as possible after Easter, to begin the work of redecorating the interior of the historic church, and the Easter collection, as an- nounced yesterday, will be devoted to that purpose. FOUGHT FOR A MAN. Katie Brady and Carry Ryan Fight Six Rounds in a Vacant Hous; Katie Brady and Carrie Ryan fought to a finish under Queensberry rules on Satur- day night last in a vacant house on Clara street, near Fifth. They demonstrated the fact that if the coming woman can talk, write and ride bicycles she can also fight with skillful physical force and a singleness of purpose worthy of the male champions of the ring. In this instance the contest was not for sordid gold. 1t was for the hitherto divided shares in the affections of one John Tann of 813 Kearny street. John had promised to take Miss Brady to a picnic yesterday and Miss Ryan found it out. She immediately interviewed her rival and made dire threats against her. The friends of both parties heard of the matter, and it was finally discovered among their set that there was only one way out of the dilemma, and that was to let the ladies fight it out. Miss Ryan is a resident of Clara street, and is employed in a Stevenson-street shoe factory. iss Brady is a Minna-street Trilby of the blonde type, and is employed in a Market-street millinery establish- ment. She is somewhat tall, and has what sporting men call a ‘‘reach.’ Mr. Tann agreed to the conditions which the young women had already subscribed to, and that was to take the winnerof a four-round bout with light gloves to the picnie. The Clara-street Sporting Club, an un- incorporated society known to the police, arranged the preliminaries of the fistic duel, and the combatants entered the ring at 1 o’clock on Sunday morning at catch- weights. As a consequence Mr. Tann escorted Miss Katie Brady to Shell Mound Park News presses rushing to supply programmes. l-yesterday. DEY GOODS. SPECIAL SALE — o ——— ELEGAINT FRENCH CREPONY!

Many Valuable Works of Art May Be Seized If the Draft Is Adopted. The proposed ordinance that is to come up before the Board of Supervisors to-day, which is to prohibit exhibitions of the nude, has been adequately revised by Sec- retary Kane of the Pacific Society for the Suppression of Vice,so that the interests of art exhibitors and artists are not af- fected, but there has entered into the fight another element. There are in the saloons of this city at least $100,000 worth of paintings which are works of art, but which could not be said to be on exhibition “in the halls, studios or rooms of an artist, art league or an art association in the interests of art in all its branches,” as the proposed ordinance reads. . The first draft of the ordinance was so broad that there would have been no art exhibitions in this city had it been adopted and rigidly enforced, but it was modified to meet the demands of legiti- mate art. Now the saloon men are aroused, and fear that valuable paintings on their walls may be in dangerof seizure under the interpretation of the ordinance, which includes pictures or characters rep- resenting the human form in a nude or semi-nude condition, with the exceptions mentioned before. : There are Royels, Balloyoines, Kahlers, Coopers and the works of many other legitimate and able artists now on view on saqoonwvnllg, but as they are not in the “halls or rooms or studios of artists or art associations,” the adoption of the proposed ordinance, it is feared by the saloon-keep- ers, might make their owners liable, and the pictures themselves possible to be seized. St Thomas Cazneau has in his place the best collection of theatrical photographs west of Chicago, and values them at over $5000. The “‘semi-nude” clause might endanger them. Mr. Cazneau said last night, “If the intent of the proposed ordinance is to pro- hibit the exhibition of lewd or indecent ictures, then I am strongly in favor of it; gut if the municipal law is made_ so broa that works of art are to be included or en- dangered because they are not in studios or art association halls, then I think it had best be narrowed to meet the actual intent and necessity of the matter.” Other owners of pictures held the same views, and it is very likely that another application will be made to Secretary Kane to still further modify the proposed ordi- nance. TURNING OVER THE PAST. Palm Sunday Sermon at St. Luke’s Episcopal Church. Yesterday being Palm Sunday many palms were among the decorations at St. Luke’s Church and a very large congrega- tion attended the services. Kev. William H. Moreland preached on “Living Over the Past.” He said: Look forward and think of the sins of your past traveling with you for all eternity, perme- ating you like a perfume, your sole compan- jons on the misty ocean of death. All your sins are gathered up in your past. If you ecan- not get rid of your past then when you die you and your past will travel on together. You say, “I'll turn over a new leai.” Thatis good; but how can the future destroy the past? You are respeclable now, but that can’t annihilate what you have done. Your past is t of the world’s past, under which it groans. eredity, science calls it. Plato said, “Give me a clean canvas, a new generation of chil- dren, and I'll make this world glorious.” There is only one way to escape the past.
