ADDRESS OF MRS. RICHARDSON. She Thinks That Americans Are Too Happy-Go-Lucky to Banish Sur- rounding Evil. The crowd that gathered yesterday at the good citizenship meetings in the Met- ropolitan Temple was quick and demon- strative in its appreciation of the points made in the address of the Rev. Donald . Ross I am getting too full for utterance, said Mr. Ross. 1 mean by thatIam getting o full I do t to show my hand until the right t and [ must be careful how I play my ¢ Tf vou do not see me often in Met- slitan Temple it is because I fear if I should get heated and worked up 1 might fire one of the guns I have prepared, in reserve for the final battle.

But as I said, I must not show my hand before the proper time. It was said by an old Roman that whom the gods wish to destroy they first make mad, and T think this appiies to our enemy. They are mad. We are here not as bigots nor as fools, but because we feel there is & mighty power Wait- ing to destroy us. & It is the enemy’s folly that has made this meeting possible, and the A. P. A. possible. I believe that on next November, during that election day, the bell that rang out liberty long ago in the daysof our forefathers will ring out liberty again. Mr. Quitzow, referring to the objection of W. W. Foote to his acting as a judge in the settlement of the controversy, said: It has been discovered that I am a member of the American Protective Association. When ] was first asked to act in the capacity of judge Mr. Ross I declined, thinking it better to ain as an unknown Citizen. Assoon as it known that I was to act it was found that asan A. P.

My great-grandfather fought for the independence of the American colonies in those old days when they charged pitchforks instead of bavonets. The great_question which confronts America “Did our forefathers shed their blood " There isa great- deal of apathy in America to-day, a careless, kapg}‘-g(rl‘.\cky feeling in Americans that allows them to put up with ills without raising a hand to banish them. The kings will never right themselves; we must put them right. Our country is under the rule of political machines. Alas! times are to-day so de- generated that to calla man & politician may | be a very doubtful compliment. There is_esmail minority of the public in San Francisco that has the governmentin its hands, and we can’t get it away from them. You know that it has been told you that we are to oppose the Roman Catholic church, bat this is not so. We are simply organized to stand for absolute religious liberty. But when & church says that the Government shall be subordinate t awsand dictates what others shall believe, then that church interferes with absolute pergonal liberty. This Government is made up of units, it is true, but we must look after the welfare of the whole. We are organized because we love this country, the land that our forefathers wrought. Some one has said the American Government is going to the devil, but, friends, we have not yet got to that. There is yet time tostop. It is not yet too late for remedy. It is time to have our hearts open to bring forward every principle of patriotism within us, TWO BALLOONS WENT UP By the Timely Act of a Professional Balloonist an Accident Was Averted. More than 6000 people stood in the cold at the Haight-street grounds yesterday afternoon to watch the inflating of two hot-air balloons. In one case the ascen- | sion was a success. In the other the bal- loon went up but the aeronaut did not. The first ascent, at half-past 3, was made | by Emil Markeberg, the man whose bal- | loon was burned the previous Sunday in the process of inflation. His balloon filled well ana when the word was given the guys were cut and the smoke-inflated sphere rose almost straight. On the trapeze suspended to the parachute under- neath the balloon Markeberg hung by his hands, and as he rose he released iin hand hola and hung by his teeth to a leather strap attached to the trapeze bar. In that position he rose at least 200 feet, when he raised himself to the bar and rose about 900 feet, baving in the meantime been car- | make cowards of us all.” ] T0 SHOW HIS HAND. ried in a southeaseurly. direction. When over Buena Vista Park he cut loose from the balloon, the parachute opened and he came down slowly, landing safely near Mount Olympus. The work of inflating the other ball oon progressed slowly. It was announced that Robert Earlston” was to _ascend with this mounted on a bicycle. This young man, who was attired in light blue tights and fancy jacket, was at one time in charge of the captive_balloon at the World’s Fair, Chicago. On one occasion, when up 1500 feet with sixteen passengers, mostly ladies, in the car, the line that held the balloon captive parted, and twenty hours passed | before it came down again. Yesterday afternoon when the balloon was almost inflated the sphere rip(}.)ed and the hot air escaped. Earlston declared that he would make the ascent anyhow, despite warnings given him. As the bal- loon was released it dragged upon the ground, when Robert Weston, a profes- sional balloonist. rushed up and severed the rope that held the parachute, so the bal- loon went up and Easton and his bike re- mained on the ground. In explanation of his act Weston said: *The idea of any one attempting to go up in a half-inflated, leaky balloon. Why, that thing could not hold up the weight of a man. If Earl- ston had gone up he would have been killed, and possih&y the bicycle on being dragged would have struck some of the crowd and a dozen people would have been injured.” ———— DR. CASE’S SERMON. His Address on “Hocus Pocus” Delivered Last Night. The Rev. Dr. W. W. Case made an attack saying if Shakespeare were here he would change that quotation, “Conscience doth make cowards of us all,” to “Business doth Business, he said, is so complicated that on great pub- lic questions it is all a man’s business is worth sometimes to come out and stand up for his convictions, so everybody should be thankful for an unmuzzled pulpit, the ministers being about the only class of people that is untrammeled by business complications. It is their duty, he de- clared, to cry aloud and spare not; to ad- vocate the principles that they deem essential to the welfare of the people. Then he went on to say that he had an- tection; and he declared that it was little sins at first that made boys criminals. In discussing the subject at all, it was his idea to -protect the boys. He believed, ‘limw%ver, that the car-fare should be re- uced. THE OCEAN BOULEVARD. Contract for the Construction of the Remaining Mile Awarded by the Park Commissioners. The work on the extension of the boule- vard on the great highway fronting the ocean will be commenced during the com- ing week, much to the gratification of owners of carriages. The Park Commissioners held a special meeting on Saturday night to open the { bids, and the contract was awarded to Albert E. Buckman, the price being $7800. It1s a condition of the acceptance of the contract that the work must be completed and the boulevard ready for use on or before April 1 next. The contract calls for the construct ion of one mile of the boulevard, the width to be forty feet. The boulevard is now t wo miles in length, the first mile having be en constructed last year. It runs from the foot of the Cliff House hill, facing the ocean, to the County line. As soon as the contract is completed a magnificent drive will be opened to the public through the park and along the Great Highway to Lake Merced, where the County road is met, returning to the i the Ingleside Track and up toward jon or back by Corbett road or Seventh avenue again to the park. The Speed Contest of Homing Pigeons Ends Unsatis- factorily. A Number of Special Prizes Awarded in Both Departments of the ; Poultry Show. The poultry show at the Mechanics’ Pavilion continued yesterday with un- abated success. During the afternoon the ONE OF THE HOMING PIGEONS { OWNED BY T. W. LEYDECKER. DETERRED B THE BAN. last night upon Catholicism. He began by | nounced his subject as ‘“Hocus Pocus”; that it had a closer relation to Romanism than some people suppose. And this is the account he gave of its origin: In performing the Roman mass the priests say, Hoe est corpus, and they teach that the bread thereupon instantly and actually be- comes the living body of Christ, and they offer it divine worship and adoration and_even carry it about in procession to receive divine honors as the Host or “Living Victim,” “Christ the Lord.” But our foreiathers not having any beliei in this conjuration called it “hocus pocus,” which in short becomes *or mildly “hoax.” And this ‘hoax”’ the foundation of all “Romanism,” and by its imitation “Ritualism’; and the gains obtained by ‘“masses for the dead’’ are the great source of all the wealth and influ- ence of Romish priesthood, for *“what will not & man give to save his own soul,” or that of a loved departed relative if a man can once be made to believe this “hoax”? For it must be borne in mind that the Romish priests claim to be the only ones that can accomplish this conjuration. The priests well know that by “this craft they have their wealth, whenever there is any “danger of this craft beine set at naught” they are, of course, “full of wrath” and create a_continuous uproar and disturbance like the worshipers of the great goddess Diana of the Ephesians. Referring to recent allusions made to his cousin, a missionary in Brazil, he said: He is & scholarly, educated gentleman, and besides that he is ot a consummate fool. That 2 missionary, 8 Methodist missionary, should g0 on the street to stop a Catholic procession is absurd! His offense was that he sald in his paper tizat the worship of the Virgin Mary is idolatry. . The_people of Brazil are becoming tired of priestly rule and are clamoring for their civil rights. I am informed that the Romanists hire the natives—Indians or whatever they are called—to break up Protestant meetings in Brazil. Do we want thatkind of civilization up here? Then, going to another subject, he re- marked: In Rome there are thirty-two Cardinals, thirty-five Bishops, over 2000 priests and over 2000 nuns., In that eity there are 190,000 people who can neither read nor write. And vet they can come to this country and vote! Bhall these people come here and teil us how to run our Government? We are not A. P. A’s here to-night, but we are intensely anti-Romanists. I cannot see how the priesthood can believe these things they profess. The Romish church threatens our good Gov- ernment _to-day. Itis trying to break up our ublic schools and have the cbildren grow up in the ignorance and mystery which en- shroud that religion. These errors of blas- phemy and these plans are working against the perpetuity of this country. I mean to continue this subject. I shall have something to say about it nearly every Sunday. SELLING TRANSFERS. It Is a Sin to Ride on One Purchased From a Newsboy. Rev. W. A. Gardner, pastor of the West Side Christian Church, spoke on ‘“‘Street- car Transfers” as a prelude to his discourse last evening. He read an anonvmous letter in answer to a stand he had taken in the previous discourse against the practice of newsboys of selling transfers at Market and Powell streets. The letter declared that passengers had a perfect right to ride on _transfers purchasea from newsboys, and that the practice of selling them was not a violation of the law, nor was it criminal in any sense. “The writer,”’ said Rev. Mr. Garduer, ‘“is either ignorant of some things or his hatred of the corporation in question warps his judgment.” Mr. Gardner then declared that the per- son who rode on a transfer purchased from the newsboys was committing a sin by robbing the corporation which had a lawful existence and was entitled to pro- Highest of all in Leavening Power.;Latest U.S. Gov't Report Re al =TS Baking Powder ABSOLUTELY PURE i { visitors were mainly fanciers, who wan- | | dered critically among the coops jotting | down data for future reference. i The feature which commanded the gredtest interest was the pigeon fly from | This place is distant 100 | | miles in an air line from this City, and is | a favorite point of liberation with pigeon fanciers. Twenty-one birdas were let loose | from there yesterday morning, the first | basket of birds at9 o’clock and the other four baskets at intervals of fifteen min utes each. The last birds to be liberated were young ones. It was raining hard and lowinga galeat the time. ‘The pigeonsevi- dently did not appreciate the weather, for they hovered about the starting point for some time, and finally sailed off in an ur- decided manner. At 2:15 seven of the pirds entered the loft of T. W. Leydecker of Alameda. Of these all but two were young birds. They had been between three and four hours en route, although birds from the same loft have made the fly in two hours and fifteen | { minutes. These were the only birds re- | ported yesterday afternoon, the others | having, 'in all probability, been deterred by the storm. The judges yesterday announced a num- ber of special E;izos. The Whitney special | of $50 for the best exhibit of eggs, with the | fowls producing them, was won by E. W. | Sanderson of San Jose. | A suit of clothes, oifered by O. A. Hale of | i San Jose, for the five highest scoring brown leghorns, was awarded to E. H. Freeman of Santa Clara, whose birds | scored half a point more than those of O, | J. Albee of Lawrence. | The medal offered by Clement Dixon of San Mateo for the five highest scoring | birds of the American class was equally merited by the white Plymouths of Mrs. Francis Sheasby of Santa Clara and O. J. | Albee’s Wyandottes. Each set of birds | scored 466 points, a rather remarkable co- | | incidence where so many fowls are con- | sidered. . The gold medal for the five highest scor- | ing birds in the exhibition was won by H. | F. Whitman's buff cochins. Silver medals were awarded as special | rizes in the pigeon show as follows: | | Pouters, G. T. Marsh of San_ Francisco; | | fantails, G. T. Marsh; runts, H.F. Whit- | man of Alameda; tumblers, J.J.

For months past the small boy element has been frequenting the streets in front of the cheap places of amusement. Every nighttheir i nambers seemed to increase until it was with | difficulty that the ordinary pedestrian could pass along the sidewalks.2= The youngsters did not seem 1o have anything particular to do or anything in particuiar to interest them. The police decided to puu a stop to this juvenile nuisance, as the little rascals became so bold as to make themselves offensive to the general public. Last evening Captain Wittman de- tailed & M%“d of policemen in citizens’ dress to gather in the youngsters, and by 10 o'clock there was a crowd of & dozen lads with tear- stained faces bundied into the City Prison and charged with violating the 8 o'clock ordin- ance. Later in the night a number of worried | [ | | | | Tres Pinos. | tenant-Colonel Geary and SOLDIERS WHO QUESTION| Fierce National Guard Officers] May Go to War With Writs. WHO MAY VOTE AND WHO FOR ? The Trinity of Rows Over the Elec. tion of a Big New Colonel Thursday Nights The travail of the National Guard in- creases daily. The trouble that is bemng | kicked up by the Ban Francisco warriors Colonel W. M. Macdonald. who wear or did wear shoulder-straps on the way to glory, reported exclusively in yesterday’s CaLL, has quite overshadowed the tribulations of the companies that | have been sacrificed in the reorganization. As the chorus of kicks and criticisms grows louder many are emboldened to roar | the fiercer. A number of officers, both out of and in the service, are tightening up their | belts for a fray that promises to become | fierce and definite soon if some revised | general orders do not come from Sacra- mento. The point that the active line officers of the three new battalions that are ordered organized into a new First Regiment have b?’ the law of the State the right to elect all the field officers of the regiment is a popular one thai will be made the most of. The laws and regulations bearing on the | election of officers for the new regi- | ment are being carefully studied out by a | number of officers, and preparations are | being made to fight the adjutant-general and the Governor in the courts pretty soon. In each regiment the lieutenant-colonel and one majorwere detailed to the tem- porary. command of the battalion into which the regiment was comprised. Why | a lieutenant-colonel was detailed to com- mand each battalion in addition toa major nobody knows. The rest of the local regi- mental field officers are on *‘waiting or- ders,” which means that they have no command, and are practically disconnected from and out of the serv In what was the First Regiment of the Second Brigade last week, the Fourth Bat- talion of the N. G.C. on the 7th inst.. and the First Battalion of a new First Regi- ment on the 9th, Colonel H. P. Bush and Licutenant-Colonel C. H. Crocker. Major I. B. Cook are the field officers who have Jost all but meaningless swords. Lieutenant-Colonel C. H. Crocker, the can- didate for colonel, and Major C. Jansen are in temporary command of the bat- ! talion. In the Second Artillery, which now be- comes an infantry battalion, Colonel Wil- liam Macdonald” and Major Waters have received those fatal waitinfiorders. Lieu- ajor A. Huber command the battalion while the organ- ization of the new regiment is going on. In the Third there was but one major and so Colonel J. C. 0'Connor is_the only field officer shuffled out. Lieutenant- Colonel James F. Bmith, whose friends haye effected the combination *with those of Crocker to make Smith the lieutenant- colonel of the new regiment, and Major E. J. Drady are in command of the battalion. Now who of these officers have the right Colonel W. P. Sullivan. to vote for the new colonel is a question thatis one of the main causes of war. The regiments were destroyed and made independent battalions in general orders No. 17. After this destruction and this creation of new and independent battalions the regimental officers, it is claimed by many, became simply unattached indi- vidual members of the guard, the organi- zations to which they belonged being anni- hilated. They could be temporarily detailed to any command and the lieutenant- colonels were, in fact, detailed to the com- mothers called at the prison in search of their offspring. All the mothers claimed to have sent their sons out on some errand. —————— Jaros Hygienic Underwear for ladies, forgen. tlemen, for children, for all places, all the year. Morgan Brothers, 229 Montg. o mand of the new battalions, but they be- longed to no regiment. This was the condition when general orders No. 20 were issued directing that the three battalions should be organized nto a new First Regiment. The Political Code says thatwhen & new regiment is | might accept the lieutenant-colonelcy. organized the line (the company) officers shall elect all the fiela officers, and when the regiment is already formed all officers except the staffshall elect. . Now, it is asked, what right have those lieutenant-colonels and the majors that are out to help elect the colonel of a reg- iment to which they do not belong and never did belong? Several captains claim that this is plainly the organization of a new regiment as much as though every company had been newly formed, and that the company officers only have the right to elect. Others think tnat the majors appointed to temporary command at least have a say on the new colonel though they may be out too in a week. If the lteutenaqlvcolonels are really officers of the new First Regiment, the regiment has three lieutenant-coionels, which is ab- surd and against the law. Semi-official directions have been given that these field officers shall be allowed_to vote at the election of colonel on Thursday night. This is favorable to Crocker. He would have a right to vote for himself, Lieutenant-Colonel Smith would vote for bim and Lieutenant-Colonel Geary is ex- gected to favor him against Macdonald. Most of the majors would vote for Crocker. 8o the point cuts a huge figurein a cam- paign for the colonelcy, which is full of Dpolitics, pulls, jealousy, bitterness ang am- bition. ' Plans are already being made to take the row into the courts, The other fierce roar is over the Gover- nor’s taking the appointment of the lieu- tenant-colonel and the three majors into his own hands, 1t is claimed that these must be elected, under the military law of the State embodied in _the Political Code, the same as the colonel, and that the Gov- ernor has as much right to apvoint the colonel as the others. This, too, may reach the courts, it is threatened, as rights guaranteed by law, which the Governor and his adjutant- general must obey, are being taken away. It is said that the direction that at the eiection those voting should express their preferences for these officers, which pref- erences will be considered by the com- mander-in-chief, is merely a way of get- ting out of a very disagreeable box. The job of selecting a lieutenant-colonel and three majors from the lot in this City would be one well calculated to make the commander-in-chief quail, The campaign that will end Thursday night in somebody being the big new San Francisco colonel is getting bufily mixed after being settled in the caucus early in the week by officers of the old First and Third regiments, which agreed to elect C. H. Crooker colonel and James F. Smith lieutenant-colonel. 1f those at the caucus would al; stand up the arrangement would easily carry, but all sorts of forces are at work to weaken the combination. Lieu- tenant-Colonel Smith is doing all in his power to hold the Third intact. He says that it is a matter oi honor, and if any of the Third’s officers fa]l down he wants to get out. But some say that they are not particularly bound by the caucus. W. P. Sullivan, late colonel oi the First, would like to be elected as a vindication of the slap given him by the board of in- quiry after the Sacramento war if for nothing else. He has friends in the First who might go back on the caucus arrance- ment if he came into the tie'd and created a new situation. Sullivan is friendly to McDonald and against Crocker. Friends of both are tryins to work up a combina- tion against Crocker. Sullivan will bea candidate on Thursday night if he can get enough support to prevent Crocker’s elec- tion on the first ballot. It looks as though it would be McDonald and Sullivan against Crocker and Smith, and possibly Sullivan ‘Lhe line officers. who are shufiied out and on waiting orders, will have no vote. Should only the line officers vote there will be thirty-six votes—three from each company. If the present understanding is carried out forty-two votes will be cast at the election for colonel. It is wholly uncertain how the rebellions of Companies D of the First ana H of the second, which have been merged into other companies, will turn out. In these com- panies forty-three and seventy-one men re- spectively have asked to be discharged. It is noteasy to get out of the Nalional%uard. Good reasons are required for honorable discharge. When the colonel of the new regiment is elected he may grant the dis- charges oh some pretext if he wants to. If not the men can get out by staving away from three successive drills, being court- martialed and dishonorably discharged. In the case of privates, the only penalty for this is that they cannot again join the guard uniess pardoned by the Governor.

The dampness under foot and the cold north wind yesterday afternoon kept peo- ple away from Golden Gate Park. There were but few sightseers there, and only a few cyclers were on the roads. During the week the work of improve- ment in the park has been advanced. The graders and levelers have done much work in the grand court, and they have been busy at both ends of the new bicycle track. The bank that occupied the space be- tween the museum and the Japanese tea garden, west of the grand court, and wkich was cut down to make room for the Mid- winter Fair, is being built up again so that it may serve as a_wind break for the band stand when it is erected in the new court. Work on the annex to the museum- will probably be started this week, and then it will be pushed to rapid”completion in or- der that the large number of articles now in the old Casino building may be placed on exhibition. 2 The travel to the ocean beach was com- paratively light, still there were some who went to the water’s edge, but they did not tarry, for it was bitter cold. e A suit of Jaros Hygienic Underwear worth a barrel of cures.
