26 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, BOUND FOR THE FIESTA Half - Million Club Excursion Leaves on Its Mission To-Morrow. COMPLETE. EVERY DETAIL The Whole State Is Enthusiastic Over Movement for a United California. To-morrow will be memorable in the of California as the day upon he great movement for a united and harmonious commonwealth took prac- tical shape and form. To-morrow, Mon- day, Aprilfl5, at 3 .

Now, there is no reason either climatically or from & scenic or other standpoint why many of the valleys sur- rounding San Francisco bay should not be filled with just these classes of people. In order to attract such, however, it is necessary that something be done to render their leasurable. If this movement develops as it xpected it will a series of entertainments of kind be insugurated, commenc- ang in Los Angeles in Lecember and closing, perhaps, at Santa Rosa in May of the coming year, which will be of sufficient magnitude, variety and interest to attract a much larger number of people to California than could otherwise be brought here. Mill £ y are being spent in ould be in Cal people fre urope ifornia, the Italy of A ve the most impo1tant suggestion that the committee has in mind, but its plans heve not developed 1ar enough to admit of public Tt is expected th meeting of the com- arts of the State at Los d work into definite ions thatare to be Angeles will ta form many of th g2 Ppresented by the club. The importance of the excursion is being more fully appreciated every day by rea- son of the fact that the people of the in- terior recognize that it is an honest effort on the part of the people of San Francisco to assist in _developing the whole State. Chairman W. M. Bunker of the promotion committee said yesterd: y 1t is the first time in the history of our city that her people have attempted anything of this kind. San Francisco has always responded generously in cases of disasters at other points, but at no time have her people made the in terests of the whole interior their own in- Let me tell you that visitors from the miners, stockmen, orchard- lion Club at nk the club for y feel encouraged and that they wa 0 understand that its work is thoroughly appreciated. The excursionists will go to Los Angeles and Santa Barbare for the purpose of having a good time, and_they are prepared to compliment those sections on their thrift, enterprise and artistic_tastes. Several San Franciscans, who are looking after their property interests in Los Angeles, have written to friends in this city to say that they stand ready to extend any courtesy 1o the people from the bay. Colonel Byrne, a popular San Fran can, who is the owner of a business block just being completed in Los Angeles, has notified Mr. Bunker that he has made a reservation of many windows in his build- ing at the corner of Third street and Broadway, and such windows will be at the disposal of members of the Hali-mil- lion Club and their guests. There are sixty-eight four-foot windows fronting on Broadway, and Mr. Byrne has given the eges of a majority of them to the of Los Angeles in or- reap some financial n ik Mills building, der that they may benefit from rentals during the fiesta. The itinerary is a very attractive speci- men of the lithographic art, and it will certainly be preserved by the recipients not alone memento of the occasion, but for the historical value it will have, as the excursion represents the opening of the new era for California. The badges for the excursionists, with the legend ““United California’ printed in black on_yellow satin, were yesterday fin- ished and delivered to the office of the Half-million Club. Chairman Alf Bouvier’s report on enter- tainment, which was submitted yesterday, was simply a_ repetition of Mr. Bouvier's interview published in yesterday’s CALL. 0. B. Olufs, secretary of the Fresno Chamber of Commerce, yesterday sent in the names of H. R. Briggs and Harry Sherwood as delegates to the Half-million Club committee from that city. Fresno will be well represented at the fiesta. President J. A. Filcher of the California Press Association communicated with Chairman Bunker to the effect that he would lay before the executive committee of the association the matter of appointing acommittee toaccompany the Half-million Club through the northern and central rtions of the State, feeling quite sure of avorable action in the premises. I beg to _assure the Half-million Club,” concluded Mr. Filcher, ‘that in its labors to unite the efforts of all Californians in grand and patriotic movements for the upbuilding of the State it can depend upon the sympathy and co-operation of the Cali- fornia Press Association.” Chairman D. M. Carman of the trans- portation committee yesterday sent out the following circular’ ‘o the Mayors of cities and interior towns along the route: The committee is very desirous that your representatives and as many others as possible should join the return excursion and make the entire circuit from Los Angeles to San Francisco. In order to encourage this we have succeeded in making an arrangement with the railroad company by which special rates will be made from all points not on the main line to and from the nearest main line points, and from all points on the main line a round-trip rate will be made. 1f you have not already done so, wire us what Pullman accommodations are desired by your people, in order that the arrangements may be compléted. We now expect to hold & meeting in Los Angeles on Friday afternoon, between 4 and 6 o’'clock, at which we are especially de- sirous of your attendance. A GREAT OCEAN RACE, The British Ships Lord Spencer and the Metropolis Sailing for Home Together. Two handsome British ships are now gpeeding over the ocean toward Queens- town with all canvas spread and every bolt straining to reach their destination. The Metropolis sailed a week ago yester- day, and the Lord Spencer followed a few days later. Captain Leahy of the Spencer bade Captain Hughes of the Metropolis good-by when the latter sailed, and said that he would be at Queenstown when Hughes arrived. tropolis said that Leahy would have to take his vessel overland to do so, and a wager was put up on the result of the race. oth vessels are fast sailers, and both have good records. The Lord Spencer went down to Newcastle, N. 8. W., from the Cape of Good Hope in twenty-seven days, the fastest time known; and the Metropolis covered the distance from Montevideo to Portland, Or., in fifty-four days, which is the best trip known. Considerable money has been put u}) on the result along the water front, where Captain Leahy has the greatest number of well-wishers. - He is a fine specimen of an Irish gentleman, and as popular a master as ever entered port. 3 The growlers on the water front are still talking over the performance of the Somali. She made the trip to Liverpool from this city in 130 days, which is looked upon as something remarkable in view of the fact that she was so foul. She made the voyage from Hongkong to San Francisco in 140 days, and then was laid up here for seven months. During all this time she had not been put into drydock. Captain Hannay, it is said, does not know what it is to take in sail in the hardest blow. HIS EARTHLY WORK OVER. Death of Father Bradey, the Paulist Priest, at St. Mary’s Hospital. A LEADER IN THE CHURCH As a Missionary He Was Widely Known Throughout the Country. Rev. Father Edward T. Bradey, the emi nent Paulist preacher and pastor of old St. Mary’s Church on California street, died at St. Mary’s Hospital yesterday morning, after a lingering illness of nearty three months. Il The Late Father Brady. [From a photograph.) priests in the Catholic church in the United States. He was widely known through the missions of the country and for a quarter of a century he preached in different parts of the country. His death was directly due to kidney troubles, aggra- vated by other disorders. Father Bradey took to his bed on Janu- ary 12. His constitution was reduced somewhat from hard wogk in connection with the tra St. Mary’s Church shop to the Paulist com- Besides he had worked bard in ionary field. Then the disease made rapid inroads on_his system and he was soon greatly reduced. in strength. Three weeks ago he was removed to the hospital, where he died. The end was eaceful, though for a few days previous Fie had sufleres rentivs Father Bradey born in Ireland in 1847, He received his preliminary educa- tion in his native land, and at the age of 17 years he came to the United States and enfered the Paulist Society in New Nork Cifi'. ¢ soon passed through college and was ordained a priest of the church. After his ordination he took up parish work in New York City, but in the early 70’s he was sent out into the missionary field. In 1876 he, with Father Deshon, the head of the Paul- ists in this_country, did earnest and effec- tive work in this city, assisted by a num- ber of other members of the Cathgfic clergy. & The funeral services over Father Bradey will be held at St. Mary’s next Tuesday morning at 10 o’clock. Rev. Father Ar- thur M. Clark, C.S. P., will celebrate mass. Father H. H. Wyman will act as deacon and Father M. Otis as sub-deacon. Vicar- General Prendergast of the Cathedral will preach the sermon. A COAL TRACK WAR. The Spur Line to the Park Is Used by the Railroad Com- pany. Complaints have been made by people living in the neighborhood of Golden Gate Park that the Southern Pacific Company is using the spur track for the purpose of hauling coal to sheds near Stanyan and Frederick streets. The coal is distributed at this point and taken to power-houses in the immediate vicinity as fuel for engines of the Market-street railway system. Quite a Jarge amount of coal is consumed by the boilers at Oak and Broderick streets, First avenue and Geary street and at Mc- Allister and Lyon_streets; also by the fur- naces of the electric system on Frederick street, south of the park, and by the steam locomotives of the Park and "Ocean rail- road. The spur track along the ocean boulevard, constructed as a temporary ad- junct of the Midwinter Fair with an under- standing it should be removed after the fair, affords an economical way of furnish- ing coal supplies to these places, and now it appears the railroad company is taking advantage of it. For a time the Park Com- missioners allowed the spur track to re- main because a contractor was hauling loam over it from San Mateo County to the park, but since then it has lain unnoticed until tbelpresent complaint was made. General Manager Vining of the Market- street company was asked about the mat- ter yesterday. He smiled pleasantly as he remarked: ‘“That is something I can’t tell you anything about. Anyhow I think it is a question I’'m not called upon to answer.” It is understood it will be fought in the courts. ——————— The Fire Department. The Fire Commissioners yesterday afternoon appointed J. J. O'Brien hoseman of engine 2. James Maguire was found guilty of being in- toxicated at a funeral detail and was aismissed {rom the department. Joseph Kane, foreman of hose 4, got sixty days’leave of absence.

C., Castroville, Mon- terey County, Cal. The old missions of Cali- | fornia were founded in tbe following order: The first was founded by Father Junipero Serra and Father Palou at San Diego, July 16, 174 San Carlos de Monterey at Monterey, June 1770, and one year later removed to Carmel, | San Antonio de Padua, July 14, 1771; San Gabriel, September 8, 1771; San Luis Obispo, September 1,1772; Mission de las Dolores, San Francisco, October San Juan Capis- trano, November 1, ; Santa Clara, Janu- ary 12, 1777. The last mission founded by Father Serra was that of San Buenaventura, March 81, 1782. After the death of Father Serra, in 1784, the following-named missions established: Santa Barbara, December 4, La Purissima Concepcion, December 8, ; Santa Cr! Ia 1z, August 28, 1791; Nuestra Senora de 797; san u Soledad, October 9, 1 7; San Juan Bauti , 179 nando R June 13,°1798; Santa Yne; 1804 ; San Rafael, December 4, cisco de Solano de Sonoma, April 2 I FAILING HATR—P. 0'C., City. One who has | || devoted considerable attention to human hair | | says: “Liniments or washes to make the hair | | grow can always be employed with greateror | | less success so long as there is any vitality left | in the hair follicles or roots. If, however, | these are entirely dead or destroyed there is no ]vn\,imm_v of & fresh growth of hair. The | oosening of the hair, which frequently occurs to young persons or those in the middle period of life, will, if neglected, become real bald- | ness. ‘A useful practice by men_and those of | the opposite sex ‘whose hair is short is to im- | merse the head in cold water morning and evening, dry the hair thoroughly and then brush the scalp until a warm glow is pro- | duced.” The basis of most of the hair invig- orators and restorers is either the vinegaror | || tincture of cantharides. Such lotions should not be used without the advice of one versed in | the force and effect of them. | THE MONROE DOCTRIN Y. H., Santa Rosa, Sonoma County, Cal. The late William | H. Seward, when Secretary of State_ under Abraham Lincoln, stood_up for the Monroe doctrine at the ' time Maximilian was in Mexico. One of his biographers sa He firmly insisted on the observance of the Mon- roe doctrine in relation to the French invasion of Mexico, but avoiding a provocative _attitude, which might have {nvolved the United States in a forelgn war, he was able to defer the decision sill & more favorable time. Before the close of the Civil War Seward intimated to the French Government the irritation felt in the United States In regard to the French intervention in Mexico. | Many dispatches on this subject were sent during | 1865 and 1866, which graduaily became more urgent until the French troops were withdrawn | and the Maximillan empire fel | 5 | CHURCH PROPERTY TAXED—A. 8., City.

Historians do not agree in spell- ing the numes of the kings and monarchs who reigned in Ireland prior to Brian Borumha, | One historian says that the monarch who | Teigned in the year 805 was Aidan, son of Nail | Freasach, while another says it was Aedh Oird- | nidhe, f Naill Frosa Both agree as to | the time he became mona: und as 1o his sue- cessor.

VALUABLE HALF—O. B. K., Oakland, Cal There are dealers in cofn who offer $20 and even $30 for & hali dollar of 1853, but such coin must be without arrowheads at the date and there must not be any rays around the eagle.

THE MINT AND MEALS—B. C., City. When Superintendent Daggett was asked the ques- tion, ‘‘Has the United States Branch Mint con- nected with it a restaurant in_which all em- ployes must take their noonday meal?”’ his very emphatic reply wass ‘“No. "Every person connected with the Mint takes his or her meals wherever he or she wishes.” Employes of the Mint stated that they take their meals wher- ever they like. To BE PLUCKED—R. C. D., City. “To be plucked,” as used by celebrated English writ- ers, means to be endowed with pluck or cour- age. Thackeray in “Peal of Bells,” in “Round. about Papers’” wrote: “What, going?” said he, “and for good? 1wish I was such a good- plicked one &s you, Miss Annille.” In connec tion with universities it means that a stu- dent is *‘plucked” if he fails to pass bis exami- nation.
