The San Francisco Call. Newspaper, September 8, 1895, Page 21

THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 8, 1&95. 21 standing in front of | “The ot one of the Ihouses in the south- ern part of as 1 watched the | great nu: ren that were leav- | ing the building, I could not help recalling the fact that in the early days, say in 1853, pupils in all the in one school that was named tome. Iwas told that it contained 4200 pupils on an average. Now at the time I sp the attendanceat the seven schools, as I discovered by looking over some old d was but 1178, said Col- onel Reuben D. Strong. . d all this recalls the first public 1 picnic given in San Francisco. It s a union picnic held at the old Spring lley school that stood on a knoll on at is now the line of Union street, west of where Franklin crosses it, and it faced he Washerwoman'’s Bay and Black Point. I might as well say that when I went out to see that part of thecity I missed ‘Wash- erwoman’s Bay,’ as well as the old school- house, the oaks that grew around it and the old trail that led to it from Pacific- street hill. Iremember well the old little schoolhouse, with its frontage of thirty feet and depth of twenty-five, and the tall belfry in the rear, all surrounded by oaks that had been growing there long before the adventurous argonauts came to the country in their search for yellow gold. Before this building was used for school purposes—it was opened as a public school on the 9th of February, 1852—it had been a church, where the people who lived in the vicinity of Black Point and of the | Pr io attended divine service. When & school it was the only one in o. 6, the City at that time being ided into seven school districts. It was opened as a mixed school, grammar and primary, and in the year I have already mentioned, there were sixty-seven pupils who were under the charge of one teacher, who taught both grades. Teachers in those days did not have a very easy time; with n it was work, and hard work; they ught and the pupils had to learn. If they did not learn the teacher did not spare the rod to save the children. Where the old schoolhouse stood I saw a modern two-story building, and on it a sign in- now forming me that it is the ‘Sherman Primary School.””’ “That new building,” I said to the Colonel, ““was built on the site of the old Bchool in 1888, and was completed in June of that year. Itisnow in charge of Miss urley, who has been principal since 1 “But to return to the subject of the pic- nic,”” continued the Colonel. “That there was to be such was known to the scholars of the different schools for weeks, and you may rest assured that during those weeks the juvenile minds thought more of May- day than they did of Murray’s 5pel]mr book or geography lessons. In each school, orders were issued to make preparations for the great event. The giris were re- ted to dress in white, and the boys told to dress in their clothes of the In some of the schools tne teachers were in favor of having the boys appear in uniform suits, and as a result the boys of one of the schools turned out in linen suits and uniform hats. Each school adopted a r and color. eat day came at last; it was Mon- of May, and the weather, for previous quite dull, was, as the men of to-day say, ‘all that could .’ As early as 8 o’clock in the ¢ of that day the children of the uth of Washington street, which me was the dividing line, as t street is now, under the leadership ir teachers, commenced to assemble ont of the Second Baptist Church on 1e north side of Pine street, above Mont- mery, where the California Market now tands. ‘Headed by Lothlan and Schmidt’s band iren formed in line and marched g Kearny street to Broadway up as ar as Dupont where school No. 4 was situ- ated. There the schools of the northern districts joined and the little ones, happy and merry as childhood can be, trudged over the uneven roadways to Pacific street and over the hills on their way to the point of assemblage. School No. 1 had its silken banner of red with heavy ‘gold fringe; No. 2, orange and silver; No 3, yellow; 4, green and gold; No. 5, blue and gold; No. 5 light blue and gold, and No. 7, purple and gold. There were at least a thousand children in line, the girls all dressed in white, each wearing the color of the school she belonged to, in the shape of a scarf, and each of the boys wore & rosette of his school color; then every child carried & bouguet, the cost of which in those days was quite anitem, but money was plentiful and people did not care. I recollect what a run there was in the stores for ribbon of the several colors se- lected; why after the demand had been supplied there was not enough ribbon of the colors I have named to trim a bonnet. “The May Queen elect, Miss Emma Bweasey, about 12 years of age, surrounded by her maids of honor, occupied the cen- tral portion of the procession. The gpn.ug miss, a pretty child, was excee ingly roud of being the first May Queen of San ?rnnclsco. Es 1 said before, the proces- sion went over Pacific-street bill, which was known as the Presidio road. It turned off to the north near the line of Larkin street, and ran diagonally to near where Franklin now intersects Union street, and continued west to the great gate at the entrance to the reservation. There was also a branch of the road thatran north 2nd led to the lagoon and to L'Hermitage, a Sunday resort, that was kept by a Frenchman and was a quiet nook for those Who wished to enjoy a_good breakfast and & first-class dinner under an arbor. 4 “There were followers of the procession and by the time the head halted at the lit~ tle schoolhouse nestled in the midst of the oaks and decorated with the colors of our country, there must have been 5000 peovle around and about the temple of learning. A grand stand and throne for the Queen and her court had been erected, and as the b o0 Y et @ s rnes7 chiléran, who in after years became en_and women who by their efforts »ught San Francisco to the advanced po- | sition she now occupies. Of course, the | ittle ones were somew hat dusty after their | g tramp, but a little dust did not inter- | fere with the spirit of enjoyment into | which they entered after the exercises were | over. *“While the little queen-elect, attired in & long white satin robe and wearing no orna- | ment save a small gold neckchain, from which depended the emblem of Christian- ity, a small cross of gold, was being escorted together with her sixteen maids to the throne by a guard of two dozen boys | dressed in white pantaloons, scarlet jack- | ets and white caps, and commanded by George Dow, a_thousand juvenile voices | joined in singing ‘May-day Has Come.’ | By the side of the throne there was planted a handsome banner of silk, on the obverse of which there was a painting of ‘The | Queen of Roses,’ while on the reverse there was painted in letters of gold ‘Rosy Crowns We Weave for Thee.' After the | singing Miss Swveasey rose to receive a dele- | gation, that presented her with an address and then placed on her head a beautiful crown, the children singing ‘Crowned With Roses.” It wasa silver band and pure white rosebuds. When was approached by only four years of age, who recited a few words as she handed the Queen a golden scepter. Upon receiving this, the emblem of her authority, the Queen of a day re- plied in a few words, promising all sorts of ood things to her subjects, and then she istened to the addresses of the seasons. “Miss Adelia Kimball, wearinga w dress, a belt of orange ribbon at her w st | and a wreath of rosebuds on her head, represented spring; Collin A. Miller, car- rying in his arms a sheaf of wheat, repre- sented summer; Carlton P. Miller, with a horn of plenty filled with fruit, repre- sented autumn, and W. H. Grey, carrying she resumed her seat she | y a little tot, Ellen Biggs, | 1 revolvers that were menacingly pointed at him. Like the coon, he came down, and the crowd that by this time had collected around discussed” what should be done with the driver. Some suggested that he | be arrested and turned over to the au- | thorities; others wanted to give him a sound thrashing for his recklessness, and one suggested that he be made to give the boy $50 for having run over him. That seemed to meet with the approval of all, and the driver was told to ‘fork over’ and go about his business, and that pretty quick. He did not need to be told a sec- ond time to do as bid. He handed over the money, mounted his dray and drove off. Then somebody suggested that a sub- scription be taken up for the boy. The hat was passed around and in a few minutes it was returned, and when the little fellow was taken to his home by one of the brave, noble-hearted men who had intereste themselves in his behalf it was discovered that he had nearly $200 in gold and siiver. I just mention these incidents to iet you see the feelings of the early San Francis- cans for the children who then lived here, and disprove the accusation against them | that they were a rough, heartless set.” Egxest C. STOCK, FOUR MORE SHIPS ARRIVE. The French Cruiser Will Be Displayed to the Public To- Day. Four more ships were added to the fleet inside yesterday—the German ship D. H. Watjen, 129 days from Swansea with coal, the ship Commodore, also from Swansea, the ship Eurasia from Newcastle and the French bark General Mellinet from Swansea. A seaman named N. Lindell, a native of Sweden, died on board the ship Commeo- dore of consumption September 4, and was | buried at sea. The French cruiser Beautemps-Beaupre wiil be thrown open_to the public to-day. The tug Ethel and Marion will take visi- tors from Washington-street wharf. The bark Ferris S. Thompson arrived yesterday, twenty-six days from Ugashik, with 9000 cases of salmon for the Alaska Improvement Company. The schooner Moonlight came in yester- day from San Blas with 676 cases of giant powder, 277 cedar logs and a consignment of silver ore to Fred Holmes. Captain Murphy and Third Mate Spiers of the Americaul)ship Shenandoah, accused by the crew of brutal treatment, were ex- amined before the United States Commis- sioner, and the case against them dis- 0 8 E%mmmmmaummaummm: THE SPRING VALLEY SCHOOLHOUSE WHERE THE FIRST SCHOOL PICNIC Was HELD. [From a sketch by Colonel Strong.] a withered sprig in his hand, represented winter. The exercises closed on the plat- form with a short address by Superin- tendent T. J. Nevin, the first that ever held that office, and the singing of ‘When Earlv Morning’s Ruddy Light.’ “Then there was a scramble for the lunch spread on tables under the trees. There was a bountiful supply not only for the children, but for the large number of adults, and there was much left over, for the management did not reckon to a sand- wich or a slice of ham how much would be needed. The little Queen retired to the ‘bower of beauty,’a cozy nook that had beeu specially prepared and decorated for her, and there she held a reception until the setting of the sun announced that her reign was fast approaching its close. 1t was brief, but it was pleasant while it lasted. I have no doubt there are yet many in this City at this time who took part in this memorable outing, and the publication of what I have told you will awsken in them pleasant memories of their childhood days. “Speaking of children,” continued the Colonel, “I want to tell you something about the little ones when they were com- aratively a curiosity in this City. A riend of mine who came here in January, 1851, on the steamer Tennessee, that was wrecked in March, 1853, by running ashore in what is now known as Tennessee Bay, when she was coming to this port with more than 600 passengers on board, brought besides his wife, a son and a daughter, the Ilatter four years the senior of the former. The boy was not a bad- looking little chap. He used to wear his hair in long curls, and he and his sister were part of the juvenile population of less than 300 that then lived here. One day, in company with his sister, he was walking along the rough and uneven sidewalks of Montgomery street, mear Commercial, when he was_approached by a tall, long- bearded individual, whose brown som- brero, red shirt and pantaloons tucked into high boots denoted that it was not long since he had come down from the mines. Without saying a word he stooped down and picked up the little feliow, and, pressing his sun- burned face against the delicate cheeks of the boy kissed him a dozen times before the youngster could utter a sound, but in a few moments the little fellow struggled to get out of the big man’s embrace and the sister pleaded to have him let her brother go. He turned to her and said, ‘Don’t be afraid, little girl; I won’t hurt him.” There were tears in his eyes as he spoke and his voice was choked with emotion, but after placing the boy on the walk again, and still holding him by the hand, he with the back of his other hand wiped away the glistening tears that coursed down his cheeks, and then for a moment recovering himself he turned to the girl, saying to her: ‘I could not hel it. Qlmu- brother is the image of my litle boy that I left in the States when 1 came here, and I have not seen him for two ears. When I saw your brother I thought it was my boy, so I could not help kissin, and hugging him. I know it’s foolish, bu I could not help it.” He then placed a $10 piece in the boy’s hand and told him to go and buy some candy with it. After that he rested his head on his arms and_he was still weeping, thinking of home, wife and the little boy he had left behind him and no doubt wondering if he would ever see them again. «A few months later this same little fel- low was crossing Commercial street, when a reckless teamster, driving a horse at- tached to a dray, drove against him, young miss advancea the school children ere formed around the stand, while be- hind them stood the parents and relatives 2nd friends. 1 have witnessed many pretty sights since then, but none that to me was prettier—none that left a more vivid im- pression on my mind. It is more than forty-two years since I witnessed it, yet I see it now as if it had been buthalf an hour since I looked upon the faces of those knocked him down and one of the wheels assed over one of his arms. Fonunnug or the boy, the arm sank in the soft mud, and in that way was saved from a crush- ing. The driver was going on without stopping to ascertain what injury, if any, he had inficted, when a number of men who had witnessed the occurrence called on him to halt, and when he turned around he found himself looking at half a dozen l missed. Most of the witnesses were under the influence of water-front whisky, and their inakbility to keep sober long enough to testify intelligently perhaps caused the dismissal.

Methodlist Pastors Are Preparing to. Attend the Coming Conference at Pacific Grove. A Congregational missionary week was inaugurated yesterday at the First Con- gregational Church. Mrs. Frank French presided, and a number of ladies belong- ing to the various Congregational societies were present. The chief speaker of the afternoon was Mrs. Peoples of Siam, who made an ad- dress upon missionary work in the Orient that created a deep impression upon her hearers. The other speakers were Mrs. Stroud-Smith, a lady who has worked as a Bible-reader in Africa, and Mrs. Carrie Judd Montgomery. There wiil be a grand all-day mission- ary rally in the Plymouth Congregational Church on Tuesdav, and on Wednesday home missions_will be discussed in the First church. Both these railies will be addressed by well-known speakers from different parts of the Pacific Coast. A grand rally of Congregational churches will also take place on Tuesday evening at the First church, when the Congrega- tional Club of this City will hold its fall meeting and will mark the occasion by tendering a banquet in the parlors of the church to three pastors from the East, who are about to sail for Japan as missionary commissioners. These are Rev. Amory H. Bradford of Montclair, N. J.; Rev. James G. Johnson of Chicago and Rev. James G. Barton of Boston. Myer Strauss, a well-known member of the First Congregational Church, will lec- ture shortly upon ‘Christ and Inspira- tion” before the Chautanqua Assembly. It is almost definitely decided that ;lev. Mr. Merrill, assistant pastor at the First Presbyterian Church, will remain in the East, where he is traveling at present on an extended leave of absence. No new as- sistant to Dr. Mackenzie has yet been dis- cussed, but as the Theological Seminary at San Anselmo épens on the 18th inst. it is expected that the multitudinous duties of the pastor will make the appointment of an assistant necessary. Dr. Kerr of Iowa, the new professor of Greek at San Anselmo, is expected to arrive in San Francisco shortly. The eminent gentle- man will not occupy any City pulpit, as all his time is to be devoted to the college. All the pastors of the Methodist Epis- copal church are preparing to attend the conference which opens this week at Pacific Grove. _Bishop Warren, who preaches in San Jose to-day, will preside. The Methodist Bishop, A. W. Wilson of Baltimore, arrives in this City to-mor- row. He will preach in' Asbury Church, Oakland, in the evening and on” Tuesday, will leave for Southern California, where he is to preside at the southern confer- ence to be held at Downey. —_————— A Sutter County (Cal.) man has a “cat ranch,” upon which he annually raises thousands of Maltese pussies for the fur market. THE REPUBLICAN COUNCIL Earnest Meeting of Delegates to Consider Organization Work. GENERAL GATHERING CALLED: Representatives of Each Senatorial District In the State to Meet in This City. A well-attended meeting of the Republi- can Executive Council was held last Fri- day evening. It was determined that steps should at once be taken whereby the ma- chinery of the party might be placed in ‘motion to bring about more effective ex- pression of party princivles. The spirit of the meeting was one of marked confidence in the fuiure success of the Republican party in municipal, State and National affairs. It was a thoroughly business meeting, in which the organiza- tion work of the party was the main ques- tion considered. M. Cooney, president of the council, called the meeting to order. After the transaction of routine business the ques- tion of State and municipal organization work was taken up. It was determined that the executive committee and the finance committee should be ordered to at once take such steps as might be required to secure the attendance of the several representa- tives of the council throughout the State at a conference meeting, to be beld at as early a date as possible, so that concert of action might be secured in the work of organization, not only in this City, but all over the State. ki It was also determined thata banquet should be given for the entertainment of the representatives to the council, when the plans not only of organization work, but of party procedure generally, would be considered. “The political outlook was never brighter for the Republican party than now,’” said Judge Cooney, “and if we shall succeed in cementing the honest sentiment of the people in one compact form for good gov- ernment and true Republicanism we need have no fear of results.” H. C. Firebaugh spoke in a most en- couraging strain regarding the outlook from a Republican standpoint. He urged that the body at once take all measures possible to co-operate with all other or- ganizations that are working to secure the coming National Convention for this City. 1t was determined, as a preliminary step in organization work, that the delegates to the executive council from each Senatorial district in San Francisco and Alameda counties should meet on next Friday even- ing for the purpose of at once taxing steps toward the permanent organization of political clubs, one at least for each As- sembly district, and that there might be adopted a uniform plan and direct method of organization, so that the free and Lonest sentiment of the people may be expressed on_all subjects pertaining to the public welfare. T. B. Morton spoke of the fact that the colored voters of this City and State were now well organized and that they would, therefore, be much more able todo effective work in the future than they had been in the past. A communication was read from Mrs. J. Ellen Foster, president of the National Woman's Republican Association, in which she promised the assistance of that body in securing favorable consideration of the claims, of San Francisco as the NEW TO-DAY—AMUSEMENTS, Wflg&: COMMENCING RUNCORP T HEATRE "L PROFS.
