[ ——————— THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SUNDAY, MARCH 1, 1896. REPUBLICAN HOSPITALITY Reception by the Union League Club Last Even- ing. INFORMAL AND ENJOYABLE. Many Well-Known Faces of the 0ld Guard Were Among the Throng Who Assembled. The rooms of the Union League Club in the Palace Hotel glowed last night with unwonted brilliancy. The northeast breeze that m overcoats a stern neces- | joins the hotel on the east. The fire was| | found to be in the lodgeroom located in | the third story. For a time the firemen | were unable to get at the blaze and the | smoke which poured from the windows | gave the fire a threatening appearance. The firemen in their efforts 1o subdue the flames flooded the Arcade, the Hook and a portion of the Y osemite Hotel build- | ings on Main street. The damage done by the fire was very light, but a dozen busi- ness places located on the ground floors of | the buildings were flooded and the loss | cannot be less than $35,000. The places of | | business are closed pending the adjust-| ment of the losses. The cause of fire is| unknown. | TR MASONIC EFENT AT SANTA ANA. | The Rosy Cross Degree Conferred I'pon‘ Several Prominent Citizens. SANTA ANA, Car., Feb. —An im- portant event in Masonic circles took place in Santa Ana Thursday evening, at which the degree of the Rosy Cross was conferred upon J. R. Medlock, W. B. Lamson and A. Y. Wright of this city by the Knights| | Templar Commandery. Over one hundred | ting. Fortuna, Arnette and Fred Gardner looked out of their class, and long odds were offered against them. There was not much to the race the first part of it but Lovdal. the favorite, and Ar- nette. When over half the distance had | been covered Lovdal and Donathon’s mare had enough, and Installator began draw- ing away, followed by Fortuna. Swinging into the streich thke 12to 1 outsider began forging ahead, and easily outiooting the | pronibitive choice to the wire won easily | gy two lengths in 1:55 flat. Fred Gardner was a poor third. The winner was beaten out by Braw Scot in a mile dash run | on Thursday, and his win was a startling | surprise. The value of the stake to the first horse was §1500. The cold weather kept many indoors, which showed its effect at the ‘track, the | attendance being considerably less than the usual Saturday crowd. A ’light fall of | rain left the track dead. and in most of the | events slow time was the rule. Favorites { and outsiders broke even,.three of each getting their noses past the wire in front. A six-furlong run, with seventeen very | ordinary selling-platers going to the front, was the first event on the card. Norman- ie, with Chorn up, ruled a 21 to 1 favor- | ite, and taking the lead from University in the stretch won easily by a length. The latter horse was nipped out for the place HE FELL BY THE WAYSIDE The 0dds-On Choice, Installator, Beaten Out by the Out- sider, Fortuna, IN THE PALACE HOTEL STAKE. | George . Miller Appears Unbeatable. Seaside Captured the Last Race at Odds of 20 to 1. | The unexpected defeat of Installator, the odds-on favorite for the Palace Hotel stake, was the sensational feature of the racing at the Bay District yesterday. The Scer Ca e at the Pleasant Reception Teridered the Officers by the Union League Club. A i and Members ymmittee 1 by a “Call” .a { the last jump by Polaski. Ten members of the kinderzarten class | etarted in the half-mile two-year-old dash. | The gray youngster Greyhurst was again | a hot favorite, going to the post 3 to 5. | The 60 to 1chance Lindendale led up to | within 100 yards of the wire, where Jones got the favorite up and in a drive won by | a short head. Rienzi fimshed a strong third. Those who backed Cicero to win the steeplechase scorned students of ths *‘dope book” and dug their hands deeper down in their trousers-pockets after the race, while the many that had backed The Lark, who had first call in the betting, smiled a sickly grin. The followers of J O C tried to look wise, but it was a forced effort. The result of the race hit the crowd hard, for the winner did not carry much outside coin. Arctic led the way over the first four jumps, when The Lark temporarily showed in the lead.. Cicero headed him, taking the sixth jump, and in a drive to the wire won by two lengths. Mestor was a poor third. It was thought the leap-year special at five and a balf furlongs would be a great sprinting affair, but it proved another cakewaik for the “Kansas City Hindoo,” George Miller, first choice in the betti He ran Thelma to a standstill, and, taking the lead in the stretch, won very handily by a length. The second choice, Derfargilla, barely beat Thelma out for the place in a drive. The wind blew so hard as to seriously retard the progress of the 3 to 5 choice, Levena C,mn the concluding six-furlong mazourks, and both she and Mr. Garner finished just behind the money. Ina hara | drive the 100 to i shot, Catch Em, was beaten out a nose by the 20 to 1 chance, Seaside. Four lengths away, Meadow Lark, at 10 to 1, was third, ana it is claimed that figures and midnight oil will beat the game. Track aad Paddock Items, Tod Sloane was slow to get Vinctor away from the post. John Brenock, the well-known Western turfman and owner of the great jumper, | St. Brandon, was warmly greeted by his | many friends at the track vesterday. Mr. { Brenock has been spending several days in the southern portion of the State. | Harry Griffin appears to be growing heavy steadily. He could not ride under | 110 pounds yesterday. Little Pete took a peep at the moon through a telescope and had a good bet | down on Fortuna. | The judges did not like Chevalier's ride | on Rienzi and onestioned him about it. | He claimed his mount was cut off, which | in a manner wis substantiated by Patrol Judge Havey.

President Stone interrupted the general conversation at 10 o’clock by inviting the visitors to the banguet-room, in which a | collation with punches and other refresh- ments was spread. The acceptance of the invitation converted the banquet hall into a conversation-room. The charm of the entertainment was the absence of all stiffness or formality. visitor was made to feel at bome, and rothing in the way of entertainment that would tend to make his position irksome was expected of him. The greatest har- mony prevailed during the evening, and the occasion will long be remembered as one of true Republican hospitality, unal- loved with even the slightest trace of selfishness.

Expected Victory Turned to Partial De Jeat by a Blunder. FRESNO, ' Car., Feb. —*“Somebody blundered on the right: wing” has often been written in explanation of greater losses than that which was sustained by e great army of rabbit drivers fifteen es west of this city to-day.

Instead of | N a with all abreast it was a straggling and disconnected rabble, apparently im- bued with the idea thatevery fellow was for himself and his bison-hoofed majesty | take the hindermost. it happened that there was a large num- | ber of speedy sprinters near the center of the line. These reached the ditch first. the lagging of the right wing iggling, swarming mass of rabbits was to the right of the center, huddied on the k of the ditch, which had a water surface of from ten to twenty feet. The | center of the mob made a sharp turn to | the right of the ditch, and rushed upon the little guadrupeds with the supposed purpose of forcing them into the ditch. The rabbits suddeniy, and as if by one impulse, faced their foes, seeming to | observe the great gap in the right wing, | where there were only a few men and boys | with clu In an instant thousands of | the pests rushed for the broken line. The air was rent with the deafening yells of a thousand throats, raised in the | hope of calling attention to the blunder, | but it was too late, for the larger portion | of the army of rabbits had saved iteelf by | this grand coup. Several hundred—pos- | sibly thousands—crossed the ditch, and ! | many of these were clubbed to death and | | left on the field. i Only a few hundred, where there should have been thousands, were finally forced into the corral and slaughtered. The army of drivers was large and un- wieldy,every conceivable conveyance being | in the line; the aides were few and far ve- | tween, and of generalship there was none. | Yet despite these drawbacks hundreds of the long-eared pests were killed. No ser1- ous accident occurred to mar the pleasure of the day. A few carts and buggy wheels were smashed and innumerable shins | were barked by clubs in the hands of reck- less boys. Soon after the line was formed, , rain began to fall; there h er in the afternoon, and | to-night it is raining in earnest. The native dogs of Australia, of Egypt, and of the Persian desert never bark.

The Norwegian-Danish Methodist Epis- copal Church on Tenth and Howard streets will be dedicated at 3 P. M. to-day, Bishop Goodsell officiating. The services will be in English. Pastors of all the Methodist churches of the city have been invited to participate. The pastor is Rev. C. J. Larsen, presiding elder of the Cali- fornia district of that branch of Metho- dism. He was formerly superintendent of the Scandinavian mission churches of the coast. Rev. T. J. Lacey and Rev. James B. Ed- die were oraained members of the Episco- pal clergy at St. Paul's Church on Thurs- day. Bishop Nichols performed the office of consecration. The rites were partici- pated in by the leading clergy of the City and vicinity. Rev. T. J. Lacey is head master at Trinity School. Rev. James B. Eddie has a charge at Carson City. Ira D. Sankey, the singing evangelist who for man ars was assoclated with D. L. Moody in his labors, will be at the Young Men’s Christian Association next Sunday afternoon and evening and prob- | ably on the following Tuesday evening. Mr. Sankey is makinga tour of the coast | for the benefit of his wife’s health. He has been assisting at various Christian conventions in the southern part of the State. The length of his stay in this City 1s not determined. Mr. Sankey was born in Edinburgh, Pa., in 1840, of English ancestry. His father was a man of affairs and a member of the | Legislature of Pennsylvania. He wasa | leader and exhorter in'the Methodist Epis copal ckurch. The gift of song manifested itself early in life in Ira D. Sankey, and while still very young he began “singing the gospel.” | as he calls his.appointed work. When but 16 years of age he' was received into full | membership in the Jefferson-street Metho- 1 dist Episcopal Church of Newcastle, Pa., | where his parents were then living. He afterward became active in the Young Men's Christian Association of that town. Mr. Sankey met Mr. Moody at an inter- national convention of the Young Men's Christian Association beld at Indianapolis, Ind., in 1871. Mr. Moody ‘‘discovered” | the modest genius, and after much persua- | sion led him to consent to join his Chris- tian efforts with his. Together they held meetings in the chief | cities of this country and Eogland with | remarkable success, and continued these labors nntil recently. Perhaps none of the “Gospel Hymns" with which Mr. Sankey has thrilleq so many audiences is more famous than “The Ninety and Nine.” He found the poem in a newspaper. The melody to which he adapted it came to him as an inspiration, and he sang it to a great audi- ence without baving written the music. Dr. H. C. Morrison, a secretary of the Methodist Episcopal Board of Missions, as returned 1o tne Kast aftera fortnight’ tour of inspection eof California churches Bishop Wilson has come to the coast He will conduct conferences of the Meth. ist Episcopal churches at Pheenix, Ariz., and Los Angeles.

There are cases of this character which, through neg- lect or improper treatment, are beyond medical aid, but there are many more given up as hopeless simply because incompe- tent physicians have failed to effect a cure. This especially applies to diseases of the BLOOD and the GENITO-URINARY ORGANS, and Doctor Sweany yearly saves thousands from be- coming mental and sexual wrecks. YOUNG, MIDDLE-AGED AND OLD MEN, If you are suffering from the effects of early indiscretions, ex- cesses, emissions and unnatural losses, which rob the blood of its richness and the body of its animating influences, which enfeeble the constitution and finally result in Impotency, Paralysis, Softening of the Brain and Insanity; if you are tor- mented with morbid fear and your days are passed with dis- tressing thoughts of your disease, if you are unfit for the every day duties of life, if you have any or all of those symptoms you are suffering from SEMINAL WEAKNESS, NERVOUS DEBIL- ITY and their kindred causes. THE FIRST THING T0 DO In order to get cured is to cast aside all false modesty and place yourself under the treatment of this noted specialist. His experience in the treatment of such diseases has been world-wide. He has cured thousands of others and CAN CURE YOU.

They are voluntarily given as true, deep and sincere expressions of gratitude from our mer- chants, manufacturers, mechanics, farmers, lawyers, laborers and literary people, who have been cured by him and made happy.
