There will be no scofting at the homeless poor and every woman who wants shelter will be given it regardless of her birth, creed or station.” Thus spoke Ensign J. R. McFee, who isat the head of the charitable work of the Salvation Army. “With us,” he continued, “it is always thanksgiving, and we do the best, with the assistance of our Father; that it is possible for us to do, at all times, regardless of the occasion. Our wark is our creed and the effect is our reward. For the last four years we have fed the hungry and warmed the cold in every way we could. Whether it be Christmas, New Year’s or Thanks- giving our efforts to help the distressed have always been the same, and we have had the extreme pleasure of seeing a gradual improvement in our attempts to be of some service in this great world of both pleasure and woe. “Qur first dinner, given when the army was struggling with the public disapproval that seemed to be its lot, was held in the old Adelphi Theater, and two hundred and fift We had at that time but three corps in the City, and the plan of salvation was in the first stages ot its creation, so far as its growth was con- cerned in San Francisco. Our work, how- ever, was beginning to tell and the oppor- tunities to show the depth of our sincerity became more abundant daily., Gradually we were accumulating recrhits, and for this | we were thankful. At the beginnine of the next year we moved into our new quarters on Market etand gave another free dinner to the of the army and its friends, on which occasion we fed five hundrea people. Christmas of the same year found us in of our own people sat down to | out the City. The army was overjoyed at the prospect of annually increasing the fund for such affairs, and we were again moved to give thanks for all the good things bestowed upon us. : “Each succeeding year brought us re- newed hope and happiness, and in 1893 we were proud to number ten corps in this City, as well as a children’s home and 2 refuge for fallen women. All of them are running in good financial condition to- day. The scope of the irmy was widening and our efforts to help the people of the slums was beginning to bear fruit. “Everything we took hold of seemed to improve in our hands, and Christmas day of the year 1893 we fed and clothed 3300 men, women and children at the barracks of the army and gave Christmas presents to 4000 children. They also received candy and fruit of all kinds. Those of the poor | who were unable to attend received baskets of provisions and clothing, the average cost of each basket of material be- ing $3 80. We sent over 700 of these gifts throughout the City. Forthis we thanked God.” : Sl THROUGH THE COLD WINTER. How the Work of Charity Was Con- tinued the Whoie Year. ‘“‘About this time,” resumed the ensign, “the City contained a great many poor families, whose suffering had to be light- ened in some way, so we took it upon our- selves .0 carry them through the winter, and we succeeded in doingit. We kept | them in clothing and provisions until the warm weather came and they were able to go out and look for work. “When the Midwinter Fair broke up and | 2 great many unemployed men were left | here in absolute want we furnished 400 of them with two meals a day and the City turned over the old Hall of Records of the old City Hall for them to sleep in. We were paid 1214 cents for each man, and with the assistance given us by charitable people we managed to keep them fed with wholesome food. We considered that oc- casion worth a great deal to us, as it showed that we were willing to give up all our time to the care of those in need. Christmas of the same year General Booth, the founder of the army, was here, and we were very busy holding meetings all over the Siate. However, on the day of New Year, we gave a turkey dinner to 1200 poor | men with money amounting to §500, given us by the California Jockey Club. We also paid some rents of poor families and bought some needed clothing. “In 1895 Andrew J. Moulder, the late Superintendent of the Public Schools, sug- | gested to the school children that they | contribute sometbing to the poor, and | | straightway they made up a purse of $900 | and sent an immense amount of stuff for | general distribution. We received twenty | tons of coal, fourteen tons of flour, eighteen | tons of potatoes and other staple articles | in proportion., This was a big occasion {and filled us with satistaction. It wasa | Thanksgiving with us for our opportunity | to do good, and it will always be so. | *On this Thanksgiving the churches and | the missions are conducting the feasts and | Bood works while we are preparing for the | big Christmas distribution. We expect to | give a free dinner to about 3000 people and \svreud presents of some kind among as many children. “The women'’s shelter will be opened on that occasion and in compliance with a | request of Mrs. Booth its doors will never | be closed from the first day they are THE LATE GOVERNOR PETER H.

It 1s expected that the institu- tions under the auspices of the Jewish or- ganizations will receive attention at the various temples and synagogues. The Catholic Ladies' Aid Society has, in most of the churches, notably Saint Joseph's and Saint Charles, made special effort to brighten dreary homes at this season. The dinner at the Mariners’ Church, un- der the auspices of the Golden Gate Union of Christian Endeavor societies, this even- ing, will be one of the most notable of the day’s benevolences. Bethesda Mission will be the distribu- ting agency of the First Baptist Church for substantials in the form of edibles and clothing. There will be a dinner at the Christian Union Mission under the auspi- ces of the First Presbyterian Church. The Fruit and Flower Mission, of blessed memory and more blessed exist- ence, was the peeress of all the agencies in aid of the poor yesterday. All day the headquarters of the mission on Post street were crowded with busy, happy girlt, packing in baskets the 200 dinners for as many families. There was nothing sodden or of the gloomy cold lunch order about those dinners either. No hotel menu card makes a better show- ing of these articles that made the kitchen at home a delight to.the youngsters.

J. McCoy will do the honors of host | to 200 young men to-day. They will all be well-dressed young fel- | lows with the indescribable something pear, and we received donations from dif- | about them that indicates that they have ferent charitably disposed people through- | been accustomed to the surroundingsof a | refined home. There is nothing the mat- ter with those young men except that they are away from home. They get along with a degree of comfort until the holidays ar- rive. Then the almost intolerable sensa- tion they never analyze—for they would think it unmanly to call it loneliness and worse to pronounce it homesickness takes possession of them. Holidays are either the most joyous or the most joyless of days. The promoters of the Young Men’s Christian Association know this and they don’t want the boys to sigh for the social atmosphere and the more tangible good things of the home back in the States. 8o they have called the Ladies’ Auxiliary to their aid, and Thanksgiving cheer is pro- vided for them in the big dining-room on the top floor of the home for homeless boys on Mason street. They could get equally good dinners, perhaps, at one of the swell cafes, but they would not have the coveted flavor of “home cooking” which the busy ladies of the auxiliary convey to the products of their range. Mr. McCoy, the secretary, donated the big turkeys that form the ‘‘backbone’ of the feast, but all the rest comes from home larders. There will be music and speeches, and the festivities will begin at 1 o’clock angd extend far into the afternoon. The ladies of the auxiliary will act as waitresses and will be out in force to at- tend to their allotted tasks at the tables, which are extremely inviting with their silver and snowy linen and feathery masses of sunny chrysanthemums. And the charm of 1t all will be that the young men are guests. There will be none of the commercial smack about the feast furnished by a waiter with checkbook in band and tip in eye. If the young men do not feel that they are at home—a home on a somewhat extended scale—it will not be the fault of the ladie e SERVICES IN THE CHURCHES. It Will Be a Day of Worship and Good Sermons. All the Christian churches about the City will unite in a Thanksgiving service at the First Christian Church of this City at 10 o’clock this morning. The exercises will be as follows: | Invocation, Edwards Davis; reading of | Scriptures, Professor A. M. Elston; prayer, | Professor Selden Sturges; W. A.

BESIEGED BY CROWDS. He Remains Long Enough to Grasp the Hand of Each Applicant, RIDING AN IRON-GRAY HORSE. A Muiltitude Follows the Lonely Trav- eler as He Continues His Journey. ROUSE, Covo., Nov. 27. — A remarkable scene was witnessed at Rouse this after- noon when a small boy on one street of the coal-mining village cried out: ‘‘Here he comes! Here’s Schlatter!” The entire population rushed out of doors and stood in wonder and reverence as the familiar countenance of the strange man was seen. He was riding an iron- gray ‘horse, and had a roll of blankets strapped behind the saddle. He spoke to 10 ore nor looked about him. After he had passed out of the village the population with one accord followed him, some on foot, soms on horseback and others in wagons. About a mile beyond the town they surrounded the stranger and asked him if he would not stop and bless them. The stranger kindly con- sented and dismonnted, while the pecple gathered about him and all were given an opportunity to erasp his hand, Schlatter talked but little and evaded nearly all queries. IHe stated that he was going south, and that he had traveled twenty miles during the day, but did not state his destination. After all had been grasped by his big warm hand Schlatter mounted again and rode away, being fol- lowed for several miles by men and boys on horseback. A number of Rouse people who had seen Senlatter in Denver identified him. CLAIWAS AGAINST ENGLAND Indemnity Demanded for the Seizure of a Tug and Its Consort. The Crew Imprisoned in Canada Upon Charges Alleged to Have Been False. DETROIT, Mich., Nov. 27.—A batch of claims against the Government of Great Britain, aggregating $100,000, has been forwarded to the State Department at ‘Washington. The claimants are the owner, master and crew of the tug Ruelle and its consort, the barge Huron, which were seized in the Detroit River by the Cana- dian revenue cutter Petrel last spring by the Canadian authorities. The boats were taken to Amherstburg, where the crews were arraigned on the charge of *‘bringing a scow laden with garbage into the Town- ship of Malden.” ’I};]e members of the Huron’s crew were sentenced to fourteen daysat hard labor in Sandwich Jail, and it also cost Mr. Ruelle, the owner of the tug, $400 to have his vessel released. It is claimed that the tug and her consort were in American waters when seized, and that the seizure of the boats and arrest of the members of the crew were gross outrages. The names of the claimants who peti- tion this Government to use its influence in securing redress for the outrage are: Alexander Ruelle, owner of the tug; Cap- tain Peter Delhier, Engineer Charles Tate, Fireman Frank Norton and Sailors James McCouthe and Edward Fields. —— THURSTON'S SUCCESSOR.

Two Mine Workmen Get Into the Way of £ @ Blast. IRON MOUNTAIN, Micr., Nov. 27.— Joseph Branca’s head was blown from his shoulders and Ambresto Cibani received injuries that will result in his death by an explosion at the Chapin mine at an early hour yesterday morning, the result of their own carelessness. The men were working partners and were engaged in blasting ore. They had charged three holes with dynamite and fired them. Two of the shots promptly exploded, but the third hung fire. The men, havin, counted wrong, returned to the room jus as the third explosion took place. Branca was horribly mangled and Cibant had both hands blown off and an eye knocked out. Both men were married and had large h*zilies. Seeking Homes for Colonists. LITTLE ROCK, Agk., Nov. 27.—George 0. Howard, the well-known ex-vice presi- dent of the National A. R.

FROTHINGHAM DEAD. He Was a Leader in the Movement for the Promotion of Rationalism in Theology. BOSTON, Mass., Nov. 27.—The Rev. Oc- tavius Brooks Frothingham, the celebrated litterateur, author and Unitarian divine, died to-day, aged 73. Octavius Brooks Frothingham was born in Boston on November 26, 1822, was grad- uated at Harvard in 1843, and after three years in the divinity school was ordained pastor of the North Church (Unitarian) at Salem, Mass. He preached in Jersey City, N. J., in 1855-59, then removed to New York and became pastor of a congregation that in 1860 was organized as the Third Unitarian Congregational Church, and represented the most radical branch of bis denomination. He dissolved this society in 1879, and went to Europe, and on his return in 1881 formally withdrew from specific connection with any church, devot- in§ himself to literature in Boston. : {r. Frothingham had been a leader in the movement that had for its object the promotion of rationalist ideas in theology, and had largely contributed to various journals and reviews. In 1867 he became first vresident of the Free Religious Asso- ciation. He was for a time art critic for the New York Tribune. Mr. Frothingham has published more than 150 sermons and was the author of the following works: ‘‘Stories from the Lips of the Teacher” (Boston, 1863); “Stories from the Old Testament” (1864); “Child’s Book of Religion” (1866); “Re- ligion of Humanity” (New York, 1873); #Life of Theodore Parker’’ (Boston, 1874)} “Transcendentalism -in New England” (New York, 1876); “Cradle of the Christ” (1877); “Life of Gerrett Smith” (1878); “Life of George Riplev” (Boston, 1882), and “*Memoirs of \{:illiam Henry Chan- ning” (1886). GLVERNED BY MBECILES Senator Lodge’s View of the Present Condition of This Country. Says All Europe Is Taking Advantage of Cleveland’s Vacillating Policy. BOSTON, Mass., Noy. 27.—Senator Lodge returned to his old home to-day after his extended European trip. When seen by a CavLy correspondent to-night, he consented to give his views on the various interna- tional questions of importance at the pres- ent time. “I see that a number of papers have favored me with a good deal of pleasant attention and have called me a jingoist. Names are of very little consequence, but the foreign policy of the United States is | of vast consequence and still is extremely | simple. I do not mean to cast any asper- sions upon the head executive, but I do think that we have acted far too slowly in Eastern questions. “‘You may say that all that concerns us in the present troublesin Armenia is the | American citizens who are there and whose lives are a sacred trust to this Government. It is this narrow-sighted policy which I condemn. The cause of the poor, terror- | stricken Armenians, being murdered by thousands, is as much a question with the United States as if the lives of her own citizens were at stake. I would exact the last reparation, even if American guns had to be heard in the Straits of Dardenelles. “As regards Venezuela I can see no chance for litigation. The Monroe doc- trine is clear and explicit in every sense of the word. If Great Britain is in the rifim let her force her claims, otherwise | relinquish them. The issue is simple. These South American countries are eager to open their markets to be brought into closer connection with us. We are the head and supreme leader in this hem!- sphere, and we must not suffer our posi- tion to be abated one jot. To-day in Europe they recognize American power. While they see the wealth and strength of the United States, they believe that in foreign affairs—thanks to the vacillation and the hesitation of the last four years— we are never serious. That is why Mr. Waller languishes in prison; that is why Englaud is treading on our toes in Alaska, in Venezuela and in other sections; that is why even the most demoralized country of Europe holds our country up to ridicule. Each and all, every one, they do not be- lieve that we mean what. we say, and we never shall -mean what we say until we ut a new administration into the White iouse and put the Government of the country into the hands of men, notim- beciles.” e CREMATED IN HIS HOME. Horrible Fate of an Aged Minister in a Massachusetts Town. AMESBURY, Mass., Nov. 27.—Rev. J. H. Brown, one of the oldest and most widely known clergymen in the East, was burnea to death to-day at his home in Kensington, N. H. Mr. Brown lived alone at the homestead, attended by an old domestic only. This morning the neighbors saw a volume of smoke issuing from the house, and on go- ing to investigate discovered that it was | on fire. There was no apparatus at hand and the flames had to take their course. After the fire had ceased a search was made for the body of the aged preacher, and when found nothing but charred ashes remained, The sad event cast a deep gloom over the neighborhood, for Mr. Brown was widely known and respected.

White of the United States revenue cutter Bear arrived at the Ebbitt House to-night.

Build up your RICH BUT NOT HAPPY, Millionaire Peter McGeogh of Milwaukee Kills Himself. AT OUTS WITH HIS WIFE. Her Action for a Divorce the Probable Cause of the Tragedy. ONCE A NOTED SPECULATOR. The Suicide Famed as the Man Who Attempted to Corner the Lard of the Country. MILWAUKEE, Wis., Nov. 27.—Peter McGeogh, who lives opposite the Soldiers’ Home 1n an elegant mansion, ordered his carriage to go to the city at 10:30 o’clock this morning and then went upstairs. He was not seen alive after that. As he did not appear the servants became alarmed and instituted a search for him. Miss Annie Beese, who has been a servant in the bouse for about a year, looked through the keyhole of the bathroom door, which was locked, and saw McGeogh lying on the floor with a 38-caliber revolver in his hand. He had shot himself through the mouth and death was presumably instantaneous. The servant immediately notified Major W. W. Rowley of the Soldiers’ Home and an intimate acquaintance of McGeogh, who immediately sent for his son Arthur, who resides in the city. ‘When found McGeogh had on his busi- ness suit and was apparently ready to start for the city. The servants noticed nothing peculiar about hisactions at break- fast time. ~ McGeogh’s suicide is believed to have been the result of divorce proceedings be- gun Jast Monday by . McGeogh on the ground of incompatibility of temper. Mr. McGeogh is well known in Chicago and is counted among Milwaukee’s mil- lionaires. Mrs. McGeogh was Mrs. Libbey of Kenwood, a suburb of Chicago, when she met McGeogh. They were married about eight years ago at the Leland Hotel in Chicago. Since their marriage they have lived at the National-avenue home- stead of McGeough while in this city. Mrs. McGeogh had a daughter when she married McGeogh, and the daughter has made her home with her brother. Mc- Geogh had three ohildren, a son and two daughters, who after his marriage, occu- pied a house on Grand avenue which their father provided. Since Mrs. McGeogh leit, one of the daughters, it is understood, has been keeping house for her father. No man was for years better known on the Chicago and Milwankee Boards of Trade than Peter McGeogh. He was a aaring speculator up to the disastrous lard deal of 1883, when he attempted to corner the lard of the country, which scheme failed. ~ Daniel Wells Jr. of Milwaukee was interested with him in the dealand a long, acrimonious lawsuit followed. Died at His Post. ST. LOUIS, Mo., Nov. 27.—Failing to receive a response to the repeated ringing of the bell calling for the reversing of the engines on the ferry-boat Dr. Frederick Hi%l last night, Captain Seeler went below and found Engineer Charles Neweil lying on the floor in an unconscious conddition. He died in a few minutes. Mr, Newell was 65 years of age and was subject to heart disease. NEW TO-DAY. ‘Whaet did your turkey cost ?
