Cruiser Olympia Has Started on Her Race to Honolulu. A RECORD IS NOW IN DANGER. The Fire Drill on the State Tug Gov- ernor H. H. Markham Was Voted a Success. The cruiser Olympia sailed for Hong- kong via Honolulu at 6a. M. yesterday. She was taken out under an easy head of steam, and Captain Miller, the pilot, said she was in splendid order for a fast run. Her bunkers are filled with hard coal, and the crack cruiser is trimmer than a yacht. It is expected that she will make the run to Honolulu in five and a half days, and if that is accomplished she will have beaten all previous records. In order to do it the record established on her trial trip will have to be almost equaled. Henry T. Scott of the Union Iron Worksis confi- dent, however, and says the Olympia will easily make the run inside of six days. Lombard-street pier was the only busy section of the seawall outside of the fer- ries yesterday. The big steamer City of Everett was lying there and a full gang of longshoremen has been at work on her to get the cargo out and the Panama freight in The Washtenaw is expected on the 1st of next month and the City of Everett has to be got out of the way to make room for her. In order to do this men have been kept going in gangs night and day, and a num- ber of electric lights have been rigged up in order to facilitate operations at night. Captain Herriman, who is in charge of the loading of the steamer, says that the offer- ings of through freight for New York are very heavy, and that there will be enough left over from_the Citv of Everett to more than load the Washtenaw. The little steamer Weeott, that went ashore a few days ago near Eureka, is going to sail to San Francisco. Her en- gines have been injured to such an extent that she will have to go on the drydock for repairs. Her owners will not go to the ex- pense of hiring a tug, as her skipper is confident he can sail her down and make good time. Captain Hawley of the Spreck- els towboat line and Captain Grey of the Ship-owners’ and Merchants' line do not think she will get here without assist- ance, and in consequence they will keep a close watch on her movements. The steamer Kahului, which was ashore on Trial Island, arrived in port yesterday and went direct to-Oakland. She has a cargo of coal from Departure Bay for the Southern Pacific Railroad Company. The captain says the vessel was not injured, but that affer her cargo is discharged she will go on thedrydock for an examination. It had been insinuated that the Harbor Commissioners’ tug, Governor Markham, was of no use asafireboat. Chief Sullivan evidently came to the same conclusion, be- csuse the firemen stationed on her were removed a few weeks agoand sent out to the Mission. The captain of the fireboat was not satisfied with the summary man- ner in which the Markham was dealt with and yesterday morning a thorough test of the yessel and her appliances were made. When the engines were working fifty strokes to the minute the entire crew could not control the hose, which had an inch and a half nozzle. It wriggled all over the tug and finally threw the men in a heap aft. Two lines with one and three- quarter inch nozzles attached were then affixed to the pumps and for an hour two continuous streams were thrown 250 feet across East street. All the members of the crew were in full uniform and they presented a very natty appearance. The old ferry steamer El Capitan has been relegated to the ‘‘boneyard,” and her place on the freight route has been taken by the Garden City. The old vessel was built here in 1868, and many a time during the past six or seven years hasshe been anathematized by the residents of Oak- land. Up to a couple of years ago she was on the narrow-gauge route, and owing to her steam pressure being repeatedly cut down she could riot make time. In conse- quence the passengers were from five to ten minutes late, hence the protest. When another reduction was made in her steam pressure she was put on the freight route, and now a license has been refused alto- gether unless new boilers are put in. The company has had the old ferry-boat thoroughly examined and has come to the conclusion that it will be cheaper to build a new boat than repair El Cap- itan, She will probably be taken to Cali- fornia City and there broken up. THE THEATERS TO-NIGHT. Attractions That Will Be Offered at Places of Amusement. To-night John Drew will appear at the Baldwin Theater in the character of John Annesly in Henry Guy Carleton’s new comedy, “That Imprudent Young Cauple.” He will be supported by Miss Maud Adams and the rest of the company. “Masks and Faces” will be presented at the Columbia Theater this evening with Miss Rose Coghlan in the character of Peg Woffington, the leading role. It is a comedy in five acts and will be puton with new scenery and new stage effects. At Morosco’s Opera-house there will be presented, “The Coast Guard,”” an Ameri- can play with a very strong plot. Some very unusual scenic effects are promised, one of them being a river of running water, which, it is said, will be quite realistic. At the Tivoli Opera-house ‘The Royal Middy,” which has held the boards for two weeks, will be followed by the “Blatk Hussar,” who will make his appearance to-night. Pache and Raffael will alternate in the title role. The Orpheum management has met with disappointment in this, that several new people, who were expected in time to appear this week, have not arrived, owing to non-connection of trains, but a splendid programme has been arranged for this evening and the rest of the week. The Mechanics’ Pavilion will be open this evening and Scheel’s band will dis- course sweet music. This is a splendid opportunity to enjoy a promenade concert with the additional opportunity of seeing a great many articles that please the eye. At Macdonough’s Theaterin Oakland this evening William Gillette and his company will present the famous comedy, *‘Too Much Johnson,” that was so well received 1n this City. Those of the city of Oakland who did not see the comedy will now have an opportunity to laugh. Amusement Notes. “I Went to Paris With Papa,” Lottie Collins’ new London sensation, is being sung in this country for the first time by Virginia Earle in the ‘“Merry World.” Charles Hoyt’s new baseball play, in which Captain Anson of the Chlca‘fo Club will appear, has been christened. It is called “*A Runaway Colt.” The thirteenth number of the pro- ramme at the Casino Roof Garden, New York, is never given. The company engaged to support Mme. Modjeska by Manager F. L. Perley is one of exceptional excellence and strength, in- cluding, among others: W. 8. Hart, ‘Howard Kyle, Beaumont Smith (who was Lawrence Barrett’s under-study with Booth and Barrett), Robert McWade, Franklin Quinly, Anna Proctor, Una Abell, Mrs. Sargent and Miss Sargent. _ “Journeys End in Lovers’ Meeting” is the title of a one-act curtain-raiser by John Oliver Hoffes (Mrs. Craigie), which was lately presen by Ellen Terry. The piece was warmly praised by all the critics. Among the important productions re- cently announced is that of an American drama entitled “‘Such Is Life,” written in coliaboration by William Gill and Robert Fraser. Sol Smith Russell, who recently re- turned from Europe, spent most of his time in London, where ne had introduc- tions from Joseph Jefferson to all the { famous actors whom he did not know be- fore. Sir Henry Irving gave a dinner in his honor, and the famous old comedian, John Sleeper Clarke, entertained him at his summer home. Mr. Russell remained nearly a week at Stratford-on-Avon ab- sorbing Shakespearian inspiration. Mr. Russell’s season opens at Toronto Septem- ber 2, with a handsome revival of “The Rivals,” in which he will act the part of Bob Acres for the first time. Willard Spenser's American comic opera, “The Princess Bonnie,”” contains one of the most charming waltzes imagin- able. It is one that the author dreamed. The comic opera,‘‘Kismet,” of which New York expected so much in artistic.treatl- ment, is pronounced by the World as “idiotic indelicacy.” The Herald says of the production: “We were warned before- hand that ‘Kismet’ would be ‘up to date,’” but very few believed that it would be quite as much up to date as it proved. It treats boldly of subjects which our fore- fathers would have blushed to even see hinted at on the stage, but with which the present generation with its girl bachelors and boy spinsters is thoroughly familiar in every-day life, and which the theater- DEN NORSKE FORENING, Flrét Annual Picnic of the Norwegian Society of San Francisco. THE FESTIVITIES ATFRUITVALE Target Shooting and Games, Danc- ing and Foot-Racing Among the Pine Trees. Under the pine trees of Plittsville Park, Fruitvale, the members of the Norwegian Benevolent Society, their friends and their wives and their sweethearts and babes dis- ported themselves from an hour that is early for Sunday morning until an hour that is late enough for ‘any day—even a picnic day. It was the first annual picnic of what is known as the Norwegian Society of San Francisco, or in the tongue of their mother country, Den Norske Forening of San handle a rifle. There were a good many entries and several substantial cash Pprizes. The Norweigan colony of San Francisco was very fairly represented at the picnic, and everybody went home in a good humor with all the world. DIED FROM HOME. Decease of the Wealthy Young H. P. Bridge of Boston at the Palace. H. P. Bridge, a wealthy young man from Boston, who has been staying at the Palace some time, died yesterday after- noon. He was a son of the millionaire, Bridge, of the Bridge-Beach Manufactur- ing Company of Boston and S8t. Louis, large stonemakers. Mr. Bridge arrived here July 12, from Japan in bad health, and for a while at the Palace got worse. Dr. Tait was called in, and later Dr. Robinson and Dr. Breyfogle were called in consultation. He went over to the Hotel Rafael for a while, and returned to the Palace on the 13th inst. Since then an operation was performed, but the patient gradually grew worse. e was _about 35 years of age, and leaves.a wife and child in the East. = MAGUIRE ON-SINGLE TAX, The Congressman Explainsthe Doctrine of Natural Taxation. Report of the Ohio Commission on the Unfairness of the Present System. Quite a large audience greeted Congress- man James G. Maguire at the quarters of the Single-tax Society in Foresters’ Hall, 102 O’Farrell street, last evening. The subject chosen for the legture was “Natural Taxation.” In disciMsing it, Judge Maguire declared there had never yet been either a satisfactory or a scien- tific system of taxation. Many different systems had been in- voked, but none of them had accomplished the desired end of adjusting the burdens of taxation equally and fairly, either in re- lation to the amonnt of taxable property THE LEAGUE CELEBRATES Two ‘Thousand Young Tem- perance Workers Meet in Reunion. AN ADDRESS BY FATHER YORK. The clde'ta. Five Hundred Strong, Are Reviewed by Colonel Ma- honey and Staff. The annual reunion of the League of the Cross was held at Eintracht Hall, on Twelith street, near Howard, yesterday. In many respects it was the most remark- able gathering in the history of the league in this City, and from the amount of en- thusiasm and earnestness displayed it is likely to be a memorable one. One reason why this auspicious occasion should prove gratifying to the young tem- perance workers and those who have been instrumental in bringing the organization to its present state of perfection was found in the attendance. There were exactly 1994 League of the Cross members present, which is the greatest number ever collected under one roof. By 2 o’clock the hall was fairly well filled, and half an hour later, when the exercises commenced, there was not a vacant seat to be found, hundreds being oomgelled to stand up. Altogether it was estimated that fully 3000 people were in the hall, eveay parish in the City being well represented. The parishes sending the Iargest dele- §ates of leaguers are as follows: St. aul’s 196, St. Patrick’s 169, St. Mary’s | Cathedral 158 and Sacred Heart 146. In this is included the cadets, who™ were out 500 strong. The exercises consisted of songs, recita- tions and an address by Father York, in | which he outlined the growth of the league and the s excellent work accom- g‘hshed by them. In his opening remarks 'ather York said: SCENES AT THE NORWEGIAN PIONIC YESTERDAY AT PLITTSVILLE PARK, FRUITVALE.

Edward Vroom, a young American actor who played in the Booth- Barrett Company, is the leading spirit of this enterprise. ‘Walter Damrosch is highly elated over his success in securing leading German singers for his Wagner Opera Company next season. NEW HEGREN SHNMGOGLE Impressive Dedicatory Serv- ices of Congregation Tif- feras Israel. Rabbl Nieto and Miss Ray Frank Urge Consolidation and Unity Among Jews. The new synagogue of Tifferas Iungl Congregation, on Mission street, was dedi- cated yesterday afternoon. The services, which were very impressive, commenced at 3 o’clock and continued until 5. The edifice is the old St. Paul’'s German Lutheran Church, which has been recently refitted for the Hebrew Society. * When the audience had assembled, A. N. ‘Levy, secretary of the congregation, read an address of welcome, after wltich the officers of the society retired. Then began the formalities always observed on such occasions. The procession of officers of the congregtion, headed by Rabbi Hirschowitz, approached the door of the edifice, bearing the scrolls of the law and repeating the following verse from the 118th salm. o gen unto me the gates of righteousness that I may enter to praise the Lord.” This was responded to on the inside by the resding of the subsequent verse of the same psalm: “This is the gate of the, Lord. Let all the righteous enter therein.” The procession then entered the syna- ogue and made three circuits of the build- ing, repeating the while psalms 30, 100 and 24. As the procession stopped at the altar the ark was opened, the cantor chantin, the verse from Deutronomy: ‘‘Hear, ol Israel, the Lord thy God is one.” " After this ceremony the scrolls were placed in the ark, This completed the formal ceremonies. Rabbi Nieto delivered a brief address on the subject of consolidation in which he ury all Hebrews residing on the south side to unite to make Tifferas Israel a con- gregation for all Hebrews to be proud of. Rabbi Nieto was followed by Miss Ray Frank of Oakland, who spoke eloquently in the same strain. The music for the oceasion was furnished by the Pacific Hebrew Orphan Asylum band, an_organization composed of boys, at the Lyceum in London | who rendered admirable music. Francisco. It might have been the tenth or the twentieth annual event of its kind of the society, judging from the smooth- ness with which things were conducted and the success that attended the whole affair. Possibly the Norwegian Society will not become rich from the net pro- ceeds, yet there must have been a neat little balance on the right side of the treas- urer’s books, considering the number of two-bit pieces that passed over the box- office counter and the large amount of small coin that was ‘gathered up by the privileges inside the park. But the tinancial side of the picnic was the one least thought of yesterday. Folks went there to_have a pleasant time—and they had it. The children reveled in ghe green and sunshine. They stuffed them- selves from the contents of the big picnic baskets, they got their feet wet, they ate green pears from the trees, they tore their frocks and trousers, they romped and ran races, swung till t.fiey were giddy, then scratched their hands and faces tearing through the underbrush in the gully. Oh, they had a glorious time—these babes. Their faces were red when they went home in the evening, and how soundly they slept last night. To-day the sharp angles of the houses and the narrow limits of paved streets will make the city seem like a prison to them for awhile. And the older folks, the guardians of the hampers and dispensers of picnic sweet- meats from l%mamm; baskets. They en- joyed the shade of the pine trees, the fresh air and the music, and all the glad frolic of the day in their own quiet way. And then the dances—well, now! Cold type cannot tell the pleasures of dancing in_a smooth pavilion in the woods to_the spirited band music of ‘‘Her Golden Hair as Hanging Down Her Back.” It may modestly intimate, however, that the en- joyment on this particular occasion was een and prolonged, for the last waltz was not over till past 11 o’clock in the evening. All the officers of the society were pres- ent. There was President M. S. Moe, there was Secretary P. Larsen and Vice-Presi- dent H. Grotschier and Treasurer D. Kuhnle. They had worked hard for the success of the event and they enjoyed it as keenly as the others, The committee and officers that had the direct management of the picnic in hand deserve much credit for their successful handling. These were as follows: Committee of arrangements—L. Hagel- sten, P. Larsen, Thomas Morck, E. Steen, H. Grotschier, M. 8. Moe, A. Johannesen, D. Kuhnle, Mrs. Fjeld, Miss Carlsen, Miss Westley. Floor manager—E. Steen. Floor committee—S. Nilsen, D. Kuhnle, Committee on games—E. Steen, George Heinemann, Klaus Olsen, H. Grotschier. There were games and races without end, and twenty valuable gate prizes withal. There was a tug of war between married and single men, there was a race for fat ladies, a race for members, a race for married men, one for ntlemen members and one for married ladies. Of course there was a race for young men and one for yonnfi ladies as well, and races for all ages of children, And the as nice g‘rlu- were such things big dolls, bats and balls, skipping ropes, harmonicas, pictures, sofa rugs, handsome smoking pipes, boxes of cigars and the plaudits of the crowd. There was some sharp-shooting, possessed by the citizen, the ability of the citizen to Xny the tax, or the amount of protection demanded by the citizen in re- turn for his taxes. The reason for this was, the lecturer argued, that none of the systems had been scientific. In1893, when the Taxation Commission in Ohio, ap- pointed by Governor McKinley, and com- posed of men not at all favorably disposed toward the single-tax doctrine—when this commission made its report on the present system of taxation even single-tax men were surprised, for the report went even beyond the contentions made by the sin- gle-tax men. In substance the commission reported that it was impossible to fairly and equally collect a tax levied on property other than land, and that if all taxes were removed on personal and intangible property the farmers would only be taxed from 25 per cent to 40 per cent as heavily as they are now. The report showed that under the present system the farmer and the man of moderate means paid by far the greater proportion of taxes. The scientific and the ‘natural system of taxation was the single tax on land values, Congressman Maguire declared. This sys- tem would impose on twer{l citizen only the amount of tax equal to the benefits he received from the community and equal to the natural or community advantages he withheld from the community. AN OLD-TIME HOSECART. One That Was in Use in the Days of the Volunteer Fire De- partment. Within the past few days there has been placed in the hall of Exempt Firemen on Brenham place a relic of the Volunteer Fire Department. Itis the hosecart that was at one time the property of Broderick Engine Company No. 1, that had its house on the south side of Sacramento street, west of Kearny, and occupied it until the volunteer department was super- seded by the paid one. % Shortly after the aestruction of the Ger- man Hospital by what was known as the Brannan-street fire, which also destroyed a reat number of buildings. people doing gusiness in that part of the City offered to man hosecarts if the officers of the Fire Department would place such and a quan- tity of hose formerly used by the volun- teers in their keeping. The Chief Engi- neer distributed a number of these carts and someof the old-time leather copper- riveted hose that the old boys in their struggles with the fiery monster had reeled off and on time and again. The reel of Engine 1 was sent, with 300 feet of leather hose, to a warehouse on Brannan street, near Third, and there it remained until some time ago, when it was relegated with a lot of old rubbish to the ynrgu‘ of the Southern Pacific Company. The fact that it was there was made known to the president of the Exempts, Fire Com- missioner Geo T. Bohen, who regained ssession of it and had ic taken to the ouse of the Exempts, where it iluinded with a great deal of curiosity by the old veterans, who gather around itand recount | sid tales- of the days when they *‘run wid de masheen” and risked their health and lives for their fellow-men to carry out the motto of Monumental Six—Big Six on the Hill"—that was on their banner, “We ‘too, for every Norweigan knows how to |destroy to save.” “I was glad to see the American flag at the head of the cadetsas they marched into this hall. We all love itand honor itand I want my young friends to under- stand that they must always respect it. It is as essentially the flag of freedom as America is the home of free speech and unhampered action.” The following is the entire programme as rendered yesterday: ....P.

He Is Slowly Recovering but Wil Have to Learn His Alphabet Again. The extraordinary case of the boy Charles Kane, which was referred to in Friday’s Cavry, has, since then, been at- tracting the attention of the medical pro- fession. 2 The boy is 15 years of age, and on Sun- day, August 18, his skull was fractured in a runaway in Golden Gate Park. At the Receiving Hospital a piece of his skull four inches square was removed, and a tion of his brain matter. Doctors Weil, ompson and Fiuflbbon, who operat upon him, expre: the opinion that he could not live many hours. On Thursday morning, as was stated in Friday’s CaLr, to the inexpressible jogeol his mother, who had remained at his bed- side in the hospital night and aay, he re- gdned consciousness, and as she bentdown e put his arms around her neck. When his father, who had been absent in the country, reached his bedside that morning shortly afterward, the boi‘recogmz_ed him at once and hetd out his hand to him. Since then he has been steadily gainin; in strength, and the hospital surgeons an Dr. Farnum, the family physician, now de- clare that he will recover. From the fact that the piece of skull and brain matter were taken from the left side of his head he has been on that le and has been unable to speak. Yes- terday morning he tried hard to speak, but was only able 1o make a sound like “Ah.” The power of speech has left him the tissues on the left side from brain bein; 8tro; but the physicians e oo e ] b ‘bl to aik, but b will have to begin as if he were a child again. All the years of instruction at his mother’s knee and in school will have to be gone over again from the beginning. As soon as he is in a fit condition a piece of silver plate will be fixed on his skull to cover the broken space, but that will be some time yet. & % His extraordinary recovery is due to the skill of the operating physicians and in a large measure to the faithful and unre- mitting nursing of his mother.
