A Generous Tribute to the Stars and Stripes by the Speaker. There was another large audience in Met- ropolitan Temple yesterday. After an or- gan voluntary by Roscoe W. Lacey, H. W. Quitzow called the meeting to order, say- ing that he was glad and proud to see so many present as it gave proof that the cause of the American Protective Associ- ation was not on the wane. He said that the gatherings were for the purpose of diffusing knowledge and patriotism to the American people, and with the enthusiasm manifested he felt sure that the cause was bound to succeed. The choral society was to have sung “‘Onward Christian Soldiers,” but instead “Glory Hallelujah” was rendered. A prayer by Rev. C. A. Rabing, invoking the blessing of the Almighty on the work of the association, was followed by the singing of the “‘Star Spangled Banner” by the choir and the audience. In lieu of the prelude by Rev. E. P. Dennett, who was unavoidably absent at- tending to matters connected with his church, Chairman Quitzow announced that in Italy there was an Italian protec- tive association, which fact he said would no doubt astonish a great many people. It had, he said, its ramifications not only throughout Italy, but throughout the whole civilized world. Its purpose was to celebrate the anniversary of the entry of the Italian troops into Rome and the fali of the papal power. The speaker then read g circular issued by Bazinni & Co. of this City, in which was recited the fact that celebrations were to be held in the United States in honor of the anniversary of the entry of the Italian troops and stating that a paper containing a fuli account of all the celebrations would be issued here. The speaker then stated that it would not be long before there would be an Italian- American protective society in this City. The speaker of the afternoon, H enry Varley, was then introduced and he was received with long and loud applause which lasted for several minutes. After thanking the audience for the generous welcome, he said that he hoped that what he would say would be helpful to the cause. In speaking, a person, he said, should not be moved by feeling but by judgment. A juror, he said, might be carried away by the eloquence of the attorney on one side or the other, but then the calm words of the Judge brought him back to his judg- ment of the facis of acase. He then said that, continuing in the lines he had taken previous Sunday meeting, he wished toadd that the people should not allow themselves to be overridden either in England or America by any ecclesiastical | body. Truth was more potent than Pope, Emperor, King or legislator. Cardinal | Manning, 2 man for whom he had a pro- found respect, had done a great deal of | good in his time, but he had marred his good record by the stand he took on the | | oce ion that the Pope declared his infalli- bility. He declared that some said there was much excitement on the subject of re- ligion. He believed in stating the truth, | and evidence in support of the truth in this direction might be obtained from all parts of the globe. ship end 1n the hope of pre- in the San Fran- | erday between | pion Jones of Austr T st Chem- | pion Harlow and George Hutck lting | in & victory for Jones. !

OLYHPICCLU3 PRESENT H..J. Crocker Positively De- clines tp Accept the Nom- ination. It Is Because W. Greer Harrison Fought His Choice for Secretary. Henry J. Crocker does not want the nomination for the presidency of the Olym- pic Club. His positive refusal to accept the nomi- nation has given rise to much speculation among the members as to his reasons other than those set forth in his communication to Mr. Craig, chairman of the nominating committee. s Some of the club members hold the opinion that Mr. Crocker declined to ac- cept the nomination and the office—which afe one and the same thing—because he could not -have the naming of the mem- bers of the board of directors. Others do him the credit tosay that he hasthe in- terests-of .the ciub at heart and that in or- der to.preserve the harmony which was threatened disruption by the bungling of the' nominating committee in its efforts to please all hands and placate every fac- tion, he determined to withdraw from the field. The latter view is more in accord with the reasons given by Mr. Crocker. He said vesterday afternoon. - “‘[ saw that there was liable to be a muss and caring infinitely more tor the club’s welfare than for the office of president, I decided to decline the nomination. I was told.that after’T had expressed m{self in favor of Forysyth for secretary, Mr. W. Gréer Harrison said be would fight the latter.to the bitter end and tear up his membership papers if he secured the office. Whether Mr. Harrison’s opposi- tion took such a violent turn as that or not 1 donot know for sure, but his opposition alone was sufhicient to influence me in arriving at the determination with which you are already acquainted. When such a spirit exists in an organization I think 1t is the duty of a loyal member to sacri- | the young men of | hall he said Then Mr. Varley addressed himself to San Francisco, telling them not to forget the liberty they now enjoyed and not to forget, the terrible price it cost their forefathers. Turning to the American flag that decorated the speaker’s stand on the plat- form Mr. Varley said that never before bad it struck_him as being such a beau- tiful flag, “Why,” said he, as he took up one end of the flag in his hand, “I feel like an American.’ *“Why don’t you take out your papers?” asked some one in the gallery. The speaker did not mind the interrup- tion, but went on to say that the beautiful | stripes of the flag were emblematic of up- ghtness. The windows and pillars in the were also emblematic of up- rightness, and added that if the pillars were at an angle of forty-five degrees the people in the gallery would be in a bad condition and those below in a still worse one. Hethen paid a glorious tribute to the stars on the blue field of the flag. The stripes of the flag he said were an indica- tion that all should follow a straight course like the tracks of the cars that go from this City to the far East, for if one of | these was out of line ever so little off would go the train. He said that he used this to show that people should stick to the truth. He said tbat be intended to tell some truth of the City of San Francisco, but before doing so told an anecdote of a darkey who went to church and appeared to be very busy taking notes of what the preacher said. At the close of the service he was approached by the minister, who was anxious to know what the darkey had taken down and asked permission to look at the notes. When he saw. them he at once discovered that the darkey could not write and that he nad simply made strokes und meaningless scratches, As he returned the paper to the owner he re- marked, “That’s nonsense,”” and the darkey replied, “That's what I thought when vou were talking.” The audience, he said, might make its comments after he had’ finished speaking of San Fran- cisco, and that these comments might be like those of the darkey. One of the first things he had to complain of, he said, were the banks, which he declared were sapping the life of the people by charging oppressive interest. e referred to banks and banking in other countries, and said that there were some institutions that made 30 per cent a year on investments; some people would call that success, but he called it oppression. He denounced the banking system of the present day as entirely different from what it was in- tehded it should be when started; instead of being a help to the poor it was one great oppressive, speculating concern. . He then devoted himself to land booms in this and other countries, particularly his own—Melbourne—where on one occa- sion thirty-seven special trains were char- tered to carry peovle first class free to pur- chase land. “On one occasion enough town lots were sold to build homes for 7,000,000 Eeople. The rapacity in regard to money, e said, was an abomnation, and he hoped that Moloch would fail before the Ameri- can people. The speaker then dcvoted considerable time to the subject of the liquor traffic. He gave illustrations of the increase of the value of manufactured goods, and declared that the goods so manufactured were ex- hibited in show windows, but that the Eroduct of the rumseller was never so ex- ibited. Mr. Varley addressed himself to the press of this City, and said that some pa- pers devoted themselvgs too much to the pubtication of scandaf] in which the read- ers had no interest. “But now,” said the speaker, “let me add my meed of praise to THe CALL of this City for itsnoble stand aeainst that glar- ing shame—the lotteries.” Thisstatement was followed by applause. He concluded with an appeal to the rYmmg men to up- hold the honor of the United States, and urged the American Protective Associa- tion to do all in its power to correct the fice self in the effort to preserve harmony. W. Greer- Harrison has made a goo president and I should like to see him re- elected.” . Mr.'Varley stated that he would leave evils to which he had called attention, on Thursday for Melbourne, but before do- l | intelligent, well-dressed children presented ing so he will deliver a lecture on Tuesday evening in Dr. Dille’s’ church, the ,pro- ceeds to be devoted to the support of a home for consumptives. UNITARIAN SUNDAY-S0HOOL. Services in Celebration of the Forty- Second Anniversary. The services held in the First Unitarian Church yesterday were in celebration of the forty-second anniversary of the found- ing of the Pilgrim Sunday-school attached to the church. In the morning the children were as- sembled in their class rooms and at 10:45 marshaled in lihe and marched into the church to the music and words of “On- ward Christian Soldiers,” rendered by the choir. The several hundred bright-faced, a pretty and inspiring sight as they filed into the church and took their seats in the front rows of pews reserved for them. It was a notable fact that quite a number among the congregation present who had children in the infant class were them- selves members of the infant class at the fonndation of the school forty-two years ago. | In his address Rev. Dr. Stebbins referred to the very prosperous condition of the Sunday-school, and accorded much praise to’ his_ assistant, Rev. W. G. Eliot, who is now also superintendent of the school; and also hearty commendation of ex-su- superintendent Murdock, whose thirty-one years’ connection with the school was re- ferred to as years of usefulness and devo- tion. The work of the year will be on broader lines than ever, and the enthusiasm evinced by every one connected with the school justifies the assurance of even a greater egree of advancement than in the past. SALVATION BY THE SEA. The Army Marches Down the Ocean Beach for the First Time. DETOUR OF THE CLIFF HOUSE. Doctor Riehl Gives a Successful Ex- hibitlon of Life Saving in the Surf. The Salyation Army invaded the ocean beach, the Cliff House and neighborhood vesterday for the first time. Itsappear- ance was a surprise to constant visitors and the habitues of the seaside, since the army had never before gone among the crowds that were bent on pleasure and rest of a Sunday. But the army was there, and soon many people forgot the surf and the seals to swell the groups that gathered around the little uniformed band on the beach. ‘It is our first time out here,” explained the captain, *‘and this is largely an experi- ment, which, however, already promises well. The Salvation Army goes wherever the crowd goes, and that is why we are | ward. here to-day. If we succeed we shall THE CADETS' FIELD DAY Grand Event Arranged by the Catholic Temperance League. A Regiment of Ten Full Uniformed Companies to Participate—Ath- letic Events, The League of the Cross Cadets will have a field day on September 9 at Schuetzen Park, near San Rafael. Great prepara- tions are being made for this event, which will be without a precedent in its kind, as a whole regiment of ten companies of uni- formed boys, with an average of seventy- five in each company,will participate. They will march with their military band, drill in the park and besides enjoy themselves socially after contesting in athletic sports. The companies will march from their respective parish headquarters to Van Ness avenue, where they will fallin line and proceed to the ferries depot asa regiment over 700 strong with field music and full complement of officers. After reaching the park the cadets will take a brief rest before entering into the athletic contest or the amusements of the day. They will be accompanied by nearly all members of the league in San Francisco, so that sev- eral thousands of young men and boys banded together in'the cause of temper- ance will meet on Admission day in Schuet- zen Park. In addition to them there will be a large gathering of priests and prominent Cath- olic laiety. For the events the following partial pro- gramme has been adopted, for which en- tries may be made: Track events: 100-yard dash, 220-yard dash, 440-yard dash, one-mile run, 120-yard hurdle rnclck, 220-yard hurdle race and one-mile walk. Field events: Shot putting, throwing the hammer, running broed jump and running high jump. At the conclusion of these events a pro- gramme of races and games yet to be de- termined, and open to all comers will be submitted. The field-day events, however, will be limited to members of the League of the Cross Cadets. Gold and silver medals will be offered as prizes. Each individual winner of an event will be awarded a medal, and the company having the most events to its credit will carry off a splendid trophy. | THE NATIONAL HYMN, An Autograph of ‘“America’” From S. ¥. Smith, Who Wrote It Sixty Years Ago. Some time ago Mrs. 8. Isabelle Hubbard of this City, a lady who has taken a deep interest in the society known as the Daughters of the American Revolution and in everything that pertains to Amer- ican patriotism, wrote to 8. F. Smith of Newton Center, Mass.,, the author of “America,” asking him for an autographic copy of the American hymn. The author complied with the request, accompanying the copy with a very complimentary let~ ter. In this he wrote: The Governor of Massachusetts in his official roclamation recommends that at a given Kour the children of all the schools through- out the commonwealth of Massachusetts sing in a mighty chorus the hymn ‘‘America.” At the same time an editor suggests that this plan | will probably extend beyond the limits of the State. This copy Mrs. Hubbard donated to the Leland Stanford Jr. University museum and it is there now, its receipt being ac- knowledged by Mrs. Stanford. Since them Mrs. Hubbard has received | a second autograph copy, of which the fol- lowing is a reproduction: f./y r.a«/’:&‘ = Trrceh Sand /,/%:v J Yee J_/,',,J, % /wnd/fi{ LS s ' S NG //7 €rvm Cvcz 27 77 e Lom ~////n44&¢— < ./' orame Sl &t e 7ot e 7 nodl Fleves 2/2‘;-» o1 2l v s ounCace Jioe . < é ’vav @nd ha?, rrordo @nd 5;%‘ //‘J/v, ocean.

This evening John Drew and Miss Maud Adams will appear in *‘The Bauble Shop” at the Baldwin Theater. This, Henry Arthur Jones’ new play, is a story of Eng- lish tife in which Mr. Drew will have an opportunity to let a S8an Francisco audi- ence see how well he can represent an Eng- lish politician. At the Columbia Theater te-night the talented company headed by Rose Cogh- lan will offer a triple bill which will in- clude *‘A Man of the World,” *“Nance Old- field”” and “A Tragedy Rehearsed.” This will no doubt be the means of filling the cozy theater with an interested audience. This evening Herbert Hall Winslow's THE SALVATION ARMY’S FIRST MEETING ON THE BEACH. [Sketched by a “Call” artist.] come out to the beach and cnff every Sun- day.” The Salvationists went out to the beach by train along the park, and marched from the western depot in procession with flags flying and band playing until a position immediately opposite houses at the foot of the cliff was reached. There the men and women in the ranks formed a circle and began to sing and play. By degrees the little group was enlarged by persons who left the beaten paths through a variety of motives, no doubt to see and hear the Sal- vationists. The knot of people beside the breakers was viewed by thousands passing up and down the Cliff-house road with considerable curiosity. The captain stood upon a box that formed part of the flot- sam and jetsam on the sands. His head was clear above the circle of enthusiastic soldiers and he played a silver banjo with great gusto while leading mn the hymns and Salvation songs. After nearly two hours on the beach a procession was formed and again the bass drum sounded defiantly against the roar of the breakers. With American flag and Salvation banner leading, the soldiers and lasses, followed by quite a number of recruits, marched oldly up the dusty hill to the Ciiff House and Sutro Heights. They held another meeting near the Cliff House before re- turning to town. The day was not at all propitious for open-air meetings on the ocean beach, much less for a first gathering and salva- tion service by way of experiment. Wind came in from the sea in chilling gusts and quite heavily laden with fog, and the siren at Point Bonita droned drearily, so that the day was disagreeable, and decidedly so along the roadway, which added whirling clouds of dust to the discomfort of visitors. The larger number of %:ople along the shore songht for shelter behind dunes of sand, though there were still a great many left to watch the enthusiastic efforts of the Salvationists. Just as the army detachment moved off the scene Dr. Riehl appeared with his paper kite, to give an exhibition of life- saving in the breakers. The kite instantly gathered a big crowd at the water-works ier, and when the doctor had an audience e mounted the iron Fipe and explained that he was about to celebrate the anniver- sary of a battle of the Franco-Prussian war in which he had been engaged, by giv- ing an exhibition of his own life-savin, service. He went out to the extreme ens of the iron wharf and plunged into the comedy-drama, “A Cracker Jack,” will be given at Morosco’s Grand Opera-house with all the realism for which this man- agement has become famous. The play is founded on life in Oklahoma in the days when the settlers made the great rush there to secure possession of the lands opened to pre-emption. There are a num- ber of exciting scenes and startling situa- tions which cannot fail to nlease the large number of theater-gzoers of this City who are always anxious to witness such. Some of the scenes are a Iynching party, a court- room scene, a jail on fire, a tar-and-feather party and a sword contest. This play, said to be the author’s best, has been favurablg' noticed wherever produced out- side of this City, and there is no doubt that it _will be as well received here by the ¢ritics and the audiences. The leading male characters will be assumed by Charles N. Swain and H. Coulter Brinker. They will be assisted by the full force of the Morosco €ompany. It was the intention of the manager of the Tivoli Opera-house to have placed the “Black Hussar” on to-night, but “The Royal Middy” having been so well re- ceived and there being so many demands for its continuance, it has been decided to let it run another week. The vaudevilleattractionsat the Orpheum to be offered to-night are such as to inter- est the great crowds that nightly attend this popular place of amusement. Among the new ones to appear to-night may be mentioned George Adams, a burlesque artist, and Park Beyers on the bounding wire. “‘The Great Syndicate Shows’’ under the tents at Central Park will this evening }:msent a variety of attraciions that are as nteresting as the¥ are numerous. As the circus isthe small boy’s delight and as the old boys always want to feel how it was to £o to the traveling show lonz ago, both classes will attend. The Mechanics’ Fair in the Pavilion will offer the attraction of fine displays and excellent music to-night. There is a sglzndid opportunity for a promenade in the many aisles and in the art gallery in the upper part of the great building. ————— .

ON THE GARCIA RIVER BEACH. She Was Coming Down In Tow of the Steamer Noyo, When the Line Parted. The three-masted schooner James Town- send was yesterday reported ashore at the mouth of Garcia Creek, just above Point Arena. The dispatch containipg the news came from Point Arena and it stated that the schooner went ashore about 1 o'clock yesterday morning. At the time of the dispatch one of the crew was ashore and the rest were clinging to the rigging. She is believed to be a total wreck. The Townsend was loaded with 200,000 feet of lumber and was coming down to this port m tow of the steamer Noyo. The under- standing between Captain Levinson of the Noyo and Captain Jensen of the Town- send was that should the schooner get adrift, if there was wind enough she was to be left to sail down. Off Point Arena, or a little above 1it, the line, a 7-inch hawser, parted and Captain Levinson sig- naled the Townsend that he would leave her as a good wind was blowing. He knew nothing of the disaster until he arrived here yesterday afternoon. 4 In speaking of the weather Captain Levinson suid : We left Fort Bragg at 7:30 last evening. There was only a fresh breeze blowing from the northwest and a somewhat heavy westerly sea running, but it was nothing unusual. There was no incident until at 8 o’clock our deckload shifted and I was obliged to haul the vessel up against the swell to secure it. The work took about an hour, and at 9 o'clock we again headed ior Point Arena. Our deckload was still in bad shape, and I had to hold some- what across the swell. At10 o'clock I signaled Captain Jansen to set his sails, for the wind was freshening and for the greater safety of my own vessel I in- tended letting go the schooner. Everythin went well till 12:50, when the hawser parte very close up to the schooner. Itwas 8o dark I could not tell what condition the Townsend 'was in, so I took in the line and went back to see if I'could do anything. 1 could see what I thought to be the binnacle light, but I could not see whether the sails were set or not, but_as I had signified my in- tention to let go I supposed the captain had set his sails. Knowing if he had that he could take care of himself as we were four miles from shore and a good wind was blm\'in%.lcnme about and proceeded on my course. My deck- load had shifted again in the meantime, and we lost about 200 feet of tles before we were again able to secure it. I therefore made all haste to reac™ port as soon as possible. I cannot understand why the vessel went ashore unless Captain Jensen had failed to gomply with my signal to set sail, and when the line parted his crew, always a worthless lot on smail coasting vessels, were unable to hoist them in time to get her underway betore it was too late. A dispatch received from Point Arena last night says: At daylight this morning the keepers at Point Arena Lighthouse saw a schooner in the breakers about half & mile nortn of the light. The keeper went on the beach atonce to ren- der any assistance in his power, but he could do nothing as the breakers were running high. He hurried back tor assistance and found the second mate, Olsen, at the lighthouse. Olsen had jumped overboard, and after a terrible struggle had reached shore and hur- ried for aid. From the mate the keeper found that it was the James Townsend from Fort Bragg, loaded with lumber and bound for San Francisco. The keeper immediately on dis- covering the wreck started a messenger to Point Arena, which is four miles away, for help. As soon as the news reached town a crowd started for the scene of disaster, and the beach was lined with men ready and anxious to help. The ship’s boat had been” washed ashore, but had a hole knocked in the bottom and was without oars, lines or anything to work with. The men could only siand and stare. The ropes were secured from the wreckage and soon the boat was patched wp and a crew vol- unteered to go for the captain and four men who were hang(ng in the rigging, but so cold lg'd benumbed that they could not help them- sélves. A line was soon aboard the vessel, and after many narrow escapes irom drowning the erew was safely got ashore. Captain Jensen was the last man toleave the vessel, which by this time was broken in two. Only the foremast was left standing, and it went by the board half an hour aiterward. Captain Jensen reports having sailed from Fort Bragg at7 o'clock on the evening of the 17th inst. in tow of the steamer yo, and ev- erything went well uutil about 1 o’clock, when L\nt north of the Point Arena Lighthouse the awser parted. He ordered all hands to hoist sails, but a stiff west wind was blowing and pe- fore he could get more than the jiband fore- sail np the ship struck. The weather was hazy, but he could see the light. He did not see any more of the Noyo. The James Townsend was loaded with 200,000 feet of lumber owned by the Union Lumber Company. The vessel isvalued at $6000. The crew is safe in Point Arena. A thick haze hung over the bay yester- day and asa c_ometiuenca the good yacht- mE breeze which blew was not generally taken advantage of. Some yachts from the clubs on the lower bay ran up into the north basin, but those from the Marin shore remained at home. At El Campo Jack Roach gave a diving exhibition and also exploded a few sub- marine blasts for the edification of quitea crowd from the City. There was alsoa mimic battle between several rowboats, each with a bloomer girl in the bow to do the fighting with siphon soda water. A boat flying the Chinese flag was scuttled; some one_ had pulled out the plug, and that ended the ficht. The British bark Heathfield, 75 days out from Newcastle, arrived yesterday with 2677 tons of coal. MAY LEASE THE BALDWIN, William Bogen Has Made an Offer for the Big Hotel. If E.J. Baldwin makes up his mind to accept the offer of William Bogen to lease the hote! for a term of years, he will go out of the hotel business and have more time for wine, horses and real estate. Mr. Bogen is one of the proprietors of the Louvre, is wealthy and is experienced in hotel and restaurant business. Not long ago he decided that he would like to run e Baldwin, and as its present proprietor was getting tired of the business he listened to Bogen’s proposition. Since then negotia- tions haye been pending, but nothing has been decided. Mr. Bogen says that he will take the hotel if his present offer isac- cepted and will not if itis refused.
