4 THE CALL" BICYCLE CLUB It Was Organized With a Large Membership at the Park Cyclery. SAM. FOLTZ CHOSEN PRESIDENT. Harry Spalding, the Captain, Will Direct the Runs Over the Roads. A largs number of the employes of TEE Cary, who class themselves among the best bicycle-riders in San Francisco, met yesterday afternoon in Trueworthy’s Park Cyclery on Fulton street, opposite Golden Gate Park, for the purpose of organizing TuEe CaLw Bicycle Club. The meeting was an enthusiastic one, all present entering with a great deal of spirit into the proposition to make this one of the best clubs. A proof of this desire is that every one signed the charter-roll, and as each is a rider of more or less experi- ence it is safe to say that in a short time there will be between fifty and sixty THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, MONDAY, AUGUST 26, 1895. : M cause the book is an epoch book, and fourth, because primarily there is a great lesson in the book for the Unitarian church. The same laws that act in nature operate in human nature and the same laws that govern individual man govern society—the lower races give place to the higher, the weaker to the stronger and the ignorant to the wiser. % He referred to the arguments in Mr. Kidd's book, and said that in it all there is plenty of food for thought and much ground for discussion. He also paid some attention to the religious problems of the book, and asked whether Mr. Kidd was not right when he set forth that people need an ultra-rational sanction, while re- ligi‘fus writers would call faith or trust in od. The speaker held that Mr. Kidd was in danger in some gnrts of his book of falling into great evil, that of supposing that re- ligion must be maintained because of its sociological utility. This, he declared, was the most fatal defense ever brought to the church. HIT WITH A OLUB. Result of a Row in a Saloon on Howard Street. There was a free fight in the saloon under the St. David’s House, on Howard street, near Third, about 3 o’clock yester- day morning. George McKinney, 1015 Seventh street, West Oakland, and George Dicer, a teamster, also of West Oakland, after the fight was over, were taken to the Receiving Hossiml in the patrol wagon. McKinney had several wounds in his scalp dressed and was able to leave the hospital. Dicer had an ugly wound in his S AN EMBLEM PROPOSED FOR THE NEW CLUB. wheels on the road when the captain calls | for a run to the Cliff, to Ingleside, across | the bay, to San Jose or to other points. | The following named were present: Samuel Foltz, Thomas F.

Wells Drur{, Emanuel Elzas and others were to have been at the meeting, but they were unavoidably absent. Their names will appear on the list of charter members. The meeting was called to order by T. F. Boyle, who stated thatone of the objects of the club was to bring into closer com- panionship the men working in the differ- ent departments. Samuel Foltz was elected president and Ernest A. Helmore secretary, after which a constitution and by-laws were adopted. Ernest C. Stock was elected vice-president; | Thomas F. Boyle, treasurer, and H. W. | Bpalding, captain. These officers, together The Park Oyclery, in Which The Call Club Was Organized. with the president and secretary, will con- stitute the board of trustees. The question of emblem, cap and sweater was called up, but it was decided not to take any action until the next meeting, when others who expressed a desire to join the club will have an opportunity to offer suggestions. ‘ One suggestion for an emblem is two quill pens crossed, having resting on these a wheel and the name of the club. P. P. Grace was chosen sergeant-at-arms, During the afternoon the members of the club were shown over the new cyclery by Mr. Trueworthy, who_has built one of the most extensive ones in the City and who is completing arrangements to build San Francisco bicycles. At the close of the meeting a vote of thanks was tendered Mr. Trueworthy for his courtesy, and then Captain Spalding ordered an informal run to the Chiff. Twenty of those present answered, and forming into_line made a splendid run through the Park to the beach and back. George T. Hill, foreman of the stereotype department, who tips the beam at 260 and is anxious to become a rider, was placed on a wheel, and with the assistance of two men to hold him on_either side he suc- ceeded in mnkin§ the circuit of the cyclery. He says he will have a wheel specially built for him on the lines of the one con- | gtructed for Henry Martin of the Native ons. SOOTAL EVOLUTION. Rev. Leslie W. Sprague Preaches With Special Reference to Benjamin Kidd’s Book. Rev. Leslie W. Sprague preached last evening in the Second Unitarian Church to a large congregation on “Social Evolu- tion,”” with special reference to “Kidd’s Bocial Evolution,” and took for his text, “From out of the heart come the issues of life.” The reverend speaker said that man was a social being, and that social life was primarily one of sentiment; that feeling more than thought determined our atti- tude toward each other, and that pre- judice and pride separated nations. Man because he is emotional was religious, and religion becomes one of the strongest ele- ments ir his social life. He then spoke of Kidd’s social evolution end said that while some portions of it were crude it was a great book and should be read by ail. As reasons for considering the book he cited first, its strong bearing upon the religion of to-day; second, be- cause it is read my manv and science de- scalp and another over his eyebrow, and he was detained, as it was thought that his skull was fractured. John Dolan, an ex-policeman and ex- patrol wagon driver, was placed under arrest and will be held pending the result of Dicer’s injuries. It is asserted that Dolan broke a heavy club over Dicer’s head. Dolan has a “case of assault to murder ending against him in the Buperior Emm and he was out on bonds. About two months ago, during a row about a woman in a saloon on Howard street, he shot a man, but claimed it was in seli- defense. CRICKET OVER THE WATER The Bohemians Defeat the Pacifics on the First Innings. 3 While the B Division of the Ala- medas Score a Victory at Mill Valley. The picturesque cricket field at Klink- nerville was the scene of an interesting match yesterday between the Pacifics and Bohemians. The latter club was victoriotis by 46 runs on the first innings, but the game was by no means a hollow one. Los- ing the toss, the Pacifies went first to bat, and put together 86, of which Mutch con- tributed the largest total. The Bohemians have to thank their veteran captain for their overtopping the score as they did. He went in first and with one chance put up 58 in great form. It was clearly a case of “too much Robertson,” Pollock played a good innings of 22, and Irwin’s 18 not out was well deserved. The Pacifics E]aved a second innings of 97, to which £. D. Brown contributed 32 in excellent form. The fact that the Pacifics scored no more than they did is to be attributed to the supurb bowling of Dr. Bowhill, who managed to achieve 5 wides in as many overs. The outfield feature of the game was Meyer's catch of Martin at point. The score: PACIFICS—FIRST IN C. Gardner b. Robertson... ~u8 E. A. Mutch c. Pollock b. Robertsof . 81 2 7 11 0 G. Sim_b.

The home club went in first, and, with the exception of Jones, were dis- missed without a double figure being made. Price and Peel led off for the visi- tors. The former made 60 with good bat- ting; Bird got a half century, and was caught splendidly by Bird at mid on.

Detective Cody’s Clever Work Lands a Burglar Behind the Bars. SAW HIM ENTER TWO HOUSES. The Thief Is a ““Porch Climber” With a Previous Conviction for Burglary. Jack Gilbert, alias Tom O’Neill, alias Tom Kelly, was arrested last evening on two charges of burglary. He was taken in the act, and when searched at the City Prison had a hatfull of plunder on his person. He is thought to be one of the cracksmen who have been operating so ex- tensively of late among the residences upon the California-street hill. The credit of this capture is due to De- tective Charles J. Cody, and he is the first officer to become entitled to the two weeks’ vacation promised for the arrest of an offender of this kind. The story of the capture as modestly told by the detective is as follows: “I was riding on a Market-street car about 6:30 o’clock to-night when I noticed Gilbert talking with another manon the corner of Seventh street. Recognizing him asan ex-convict whose former crime had been burglary, I decided to watch him. “The two men entered a coffee-house in the Odd Fellow’s building and remained half an hour. Then they crossed Market street to Golden Gate avenue; thence to Larkin, to Sutter, to Van Ness avenue. to Sutter, to Franklin, to California. They turned west on California street. ‘At the southwest corner of Laguna and California streets Gilbert’s friend halted, Gilbert entered a little gateway, climbed upon a fence and got into a second-story window of the corner house. He was in- sice for some time and then left the house by the Laguna-street side. I was watch- ing all the time from the engine-house across the street. *‘The precious pair then walked on out California street. Half way to Buchanan street they rang a door bell, but left when a man opened the door. “In the middle of the next block the lookout halted again. Gilbert climbed up a pillar on one side of the porch and en- iered the hall bedroom window. I crossed men had been scaredaway, the detectives ascertained that Matt Dunn, who has a saloon adjoining the store, locked up the saloon about 4 o’clock yesterday morning, and when outside he and three or four friends stood ing for about ten minutes. The detectives think that the cracksmen, hearing the voices and not knqwmi‘bnt that thev might be those of police officers, concluded to quit the job, and made their exit by the same way they entered. Detective Bohen thinks that the men are t‘he same that broke into the postoffice in San Diego about a week ago, forced open the safe and emptied it of its contents. After the job on Montgomery street on July 4 they had not operated in this City till yesterday morning, and_the presump- tmr;hls that they left the City and went south, CONGRESSMEN AT ALASKA, G W. Smith of Illinois and D. W. Mer- cer of Nebraska Return From s the North. _G. W. Smith, who represents the Twen- tieth Illinois District in Congress, and his wife and niece, and D. W. Mercer, a repre- sentative from Nebraska, and Mrs. Mercer, arrived here yesterday from Alaska, where they had gone on the ‘same steamer with Vice-President Stevenson and his party. They state that the health of Miss Steven- som, on account of which the trip was taken, is much improved. Mr. Smith, speaking of the chances of getting the R&Eubli{‘,&n National Conven- tion held out here next year, said: “If a united effort is made by your people you will have a good chance to get itout here. The general feeling in the East is that the West should be recognized in this way, and there is a strong inclina- tion to do'so if the obstacles can be over- come. The costis the main objection, of course.” NEW: FVE-MILE RECORD. J. G. Hurley of the Alameda Cyclers Rode the Distance in 11:35. J. G. Thorn Won the Race, Which Was Notable for the Fast Times Made. The Alameda Cyclers held a five-mile handicap road race yesterday over the straightaway course from San Leandro to Haywards, and that it was a great success is attested by the fact thatone of the riders lowered the coast record for the distance JACK GILBERT, ALIAS TOM O’NEILL, ALIAS TOM EKELLY, AR- RESTED ON TWO CHARGES OF BURGLARY, [From a photograph.] the street to the house and the lookout ran aafvay;.’ When Gilbert came out I nailed im. . The house at the corner of Laguna street is occupied by W.J. Owen, the wealthy cattle man. Last night he did not know that his house had been entered. His daughter is visiting in San Rafael, and i :s tfimugbr that the stolen jewelry belongs 0 her. Gilbert has already served one term in State’s prison for burglary. He was ar- rested in 1891 by Detective Silvey and Officer J. H. Cohen for stealing silverware from the residence of Mrs. I. F. Van Winkle and A. H. Noble. He was con- victed of burglary in the second degree and given a sentence of eighteen months. He 1s 24 years old, a sailor by occupation, and has the word “Tombstone” and the letters “T. 8. 0. N.” tattooed on his left forearm. ANOTHER BURGLARY. Levin Bros.” Store Visited by Pro- fessional Cracksmen. For several months past the police have had practical evidence of the fact that a gang of professional cracksmen have been operating off and on in the City. 3 About four months ago a safe in one of the offices in the Odd Fellows’ building, on Seventh and Market streets, was tampered with, but the cracksmen were unsuccess- ful in opening it. On the night of July4 the same thing was done with a safeina store on Montgomery street, with a similar result. Early yesterday morning the cracksmen visited the wholesale and retail grocery of Levin Bros., 1324-26 Market street. They climbed over the fence inthe rear and forced open the door of the store imme- diately above, which is occupied by a vender of patent medicines. They cut away the plastering on the wall between it and Levin Bros.’ office, and used a brace and bit to make a hole in the boards large enough to enable them to pass through. Once inside the office they commenced operations on the safe, They drilled a hole with a 3¢-inch drill straight for the ‘“‘dog” of the combination, but the drill had apparently broken or had been too short as a }{-inch drill had been used after a portion of the hole had been made. A charge of powder had then been inserted in the hole and exploded, but it was not powerful enough to blow off the “dog.” They had made no other attempt to force open the safe and it is thought that some- thing had happened to scare them away. Even if they had succeeded in !orcing opén the outer door of the safe they woul have faced an inside steel door which was locked and would have given them considerable trouble to open. They did not ap to have taken the trouble to enter the store, but contented themselves with trying to open the safe in the office which is in the .rear. If th had succeeded they would have se $600 for their trouble. The case was reported at police head- quarters yesterday afternoon, and De- tectives Bohen, Bee and Harper made an examination of the safe and premises. The cracksmen had left nothing behind them to give a clew. The detectives are satisfied the men who did the ljob are first-class operators, and know all about safes, as the hole was bored straight for the ‘‘dog’” of the com- bination.

Fine Rifle Scores Made by the California Schuetzen Club. MLAUGHLIN'S GOOD SCORES. The Verein’s Annual Shooting Fes~ tival Was a Success-~The Ladles’ Scores. A. Strecker won the title of Shooting King at the annual prize shoot of the Cali- fornia Schuetzen Verein, held at Schuetzen Park yesterday. Strecker, while satisfied with the honors recently won in the East, thought that it would not do to re- turn to his home and lose the title that every German rifleman desix;es most of 'a}l, 80 heran up a score of 221, out of a possible 250, in ten shots on the ring target. The annual contest began a week ago yesterday, when a number of fine scores were made, but there were so many marks- men to shoot that it required two days to finish. Nearly $2000 in prizes was offered, and as the shoot was open to all, nearly every German in the City handy with a rifle faced the targets to compete for prizes and honors. The affair was a success in every way and the club will not lose anything, for all a large number of prizes are money. It was not until late that there was any certainty as to' who had won the principal rizes. The full list of winners will not e known until to-night when the scores are made out by the secretary. The prizes will be distributed next Thursday evening at Bintracht Hall and the ceremony will be followed by a social and dance given by the club. 3 ‘The first bullseye in the mommgwo call up the red flag was made by D. W. Mc- Laughlin, who made one of the best scores of the day on the honorary target. He made a 24 and two 25's, or 74 out of a pos- sible 75. This is a score that is not often made. The first twenty-five in the members’ un'-fet was made by Captain F. Attinger, and the last bullseye in the forenoon by J. Utschig. In the afternoon Philo Jacoby registered the first bullseye. The last blfilseye was made by A. Pape, who won a special prize of $5 given by Dr. Muffe. The doctor gave a $250 prize to Charles Thier- bach for making the next to the last bulls- eye. There was a lively competition for these two prizes. The first prize on the honorary target was won by McLaughlin, score 74; second, Strecker, 72; third, O. Bremer, 71; fourth, J. Meyer of Bacramento, 71; fifth, R. Fink! ing, 71; sixth, F. Attinger, 70.

Dr. McClish Discourses on the Subject in Grace M. E. Church. “The Attitude of Reasonable Men To- ward the Saloon” was the subject of the Rev. E. McClish’s sermon in Grace M. E Church last night. There was a large audience, composed mostly of ladies and children. For over an hour Dr. McClish quoted the saloon evil in statistics and showed u all its horrors. He declared that if all the distilleries in the country were placed end to end they would reach from Boston to Detroit, and all the insane asylums and orphanages produced by drink would make a similar line. “8till,” said the preacher, “the saloon- men are like the curs that roam the streets. ‘While they ought to be kicked out of ex- istence they are guarded by a collar which says: ‘This dog is protected by law,’ ? —_————— HOTEL ARRIVALS.

OVERTURNED IN THE BAY, Henry Benches Tells of His Experience on a Capsized Boat. FLOATED TOWARD THE SEA. He Succeeded at Last In Swim= ming Ashore a Mile Below Lime Polnt. Henry Benches,.a young boatman living at Bay and Powell streets, and who is fa- miliarly known as “Little Henny, had a narrow escape from drowning early yester- day morning in the Golden Gate. Accord- ing to his story he took a passenger named Storey in a Whitehall boat from the foot of Powell street to Sausalito. The two started out after the last Sausalito boat had left San Francisco, and With‘the wind in their favor reached the other side of the bay withoat any mishap. Benches landed his passenger, and about 2 o'clock started on his return trip under full sail. Half or three-quarters of an hour later, when off Harbor View, the boat struck upon & flosy ing pile and cagsized‘. In telling of his experience Benches said: Before I had time to realize what had hap- ened I found myself floundering in the bay. quickly mounted the bottom of the over- turned boat and waited for something else to happen. It was too tar for me to swim ashore. You bet it was cold. As the time the tide was on the_ebb and I drifted out past the north head. When I got that far I met the flood tide and the boat drifted back along the Marin County shore. 1 went pretty close to the shore about & mile west of Lime Point, and sec- ing a chance to land I left the boatand swam hours in the water and my swim ashore, so [ rested for a time and then started for Satsalito, where I arrived about 10 o'clock. I was mighty glad to get home and into dry clothes. About 10 o’clock yesterday morning the overturned boat was found drifting in the bay off Harbor View and towed ashore. 1t was reported that the boatman had been drowned, and his mother was almost crazed with grief until the young man ap- peared but little worse for his experience. The owner of the boat, named Coleman, stated that the whole story told by his em- ploye, Benches, was a fabrication of the worst type. He declared that Benches and the passenger reached Sausalito and that Benches loitered about the town and that the boat broke frem its fastenings and floated around the bay until it was picked up off Harbor View. BROKEN-PLATE OLUB. A Society Based Upon an Incident at = Dinner. In a little village of the Department of the North there exists a curious brother- hood. Itiscalled the Broken-plate Club. This is its history: A few years ago some merchants and manufacturers were dining together, when a plate rolled from the table, and, falling into the fireplace, broke. As it happened, the number of the frag- ments exactly corresponded with that of the guests. The coincidence was regarded |as a good augury, and then and therea society was formed which imposed upon its members the bonds of brotherhood. Each man as he leit carried away with him his fragment of the plate. According to the rules no new member was to be in- troduced, and at each death the bit of porcelain which was in the possession of the deceased is restored to the president, who glues the fragments together. The last surviving member of the club is charged with the duty of cementing his piece to the rest, and when the plate has thus been reformed it is to be buried— London Telegraph.
