Since 1869 the Fourteenth has served in Arizona, Tennessee, Ken- | tucky, Dakota, Utah, Nébraska, Wyoming | | and Washington. The regiment has been | on duty in Washington for the past eleven years. | The First Infantry has served in the Department of California for ten years and during that time officers and enlisted men have become sincerely attached to San Francisco.

The Fifteenth, which has been swationed at Chicago for many years, will likely be sent to the Southwest.

Kimball, chiet quarter- | | master Department of California, has | received an authorization from the Guartermasier-general to expend $26,000 i for filling in the marsh land of the Pre- | sidio reservation. The filling will extend west from Lyon street, the east boundary |of the reservation, to the road which | leads from the post of the Presidio proper | to the wharf. The Fair estate is to fill west as far as ‘ Baker street, and the owner of the marsh ] ground between Baker and Lyon streets, George Whittell, is making arrangements | to fill in on his property. then be graded from Lombard street to th bay. There will remain for future filling on | the Presidio about forty acres of swamp | or marshy ground west of the road lead- “‘5 from the post to the wharf. olonel Kimball deserves special credit | for the comprehensive manner in which he has placed the requirements of the Pre- sidio before the department at Washing ton. The allotment of $14,000 for stables | and $25,000 for filling in the marsh came from the reserve fund of the present fiscai year. The allowance of $100,000 for tue double brick barracks came from the first apportionment of the appropriation. The filling in of the marsh ground does not extend the area of the parade ground, but widens the field for driil exercises and the | evoiution of troops for instruction in ! { minor tactics, Next Friday, the 12-inch rifle and the mortars will be fired to test powder.

A course of lectures on liberal social- ism was begun yesterday in Kohler & Chase Hall by Morrison - 1. 8wift, the sub- | iect discussed being “‘Drones, Interest and Rent; and the Kconomic and Moral Method of St. Paul Touching These Phenomena.” A review of recent social events was first given. Mr. Swifc said: | Itisreported that a free excursion to the East is to be given to the ministers and pro- fessors of this coast by Mr. Huntington in re- turn for their services to the Southern Pacific Company in keeping perfectly silent about the wrongs done to the people by the railroad. All the professors of political ceonomy, ethi | and wilied subjects are 10 ve especially recog- | nized by & grand reception at Huntington's ew York palace, and they are to be honored au introduction to the greatest men of the ountry—C. Vanderbilt, J. Rockefeller, A Puliman, J. Astor, G. Gould veland and General Miles. C. T will ntr duce them. Each professor will be allowed & few moments of conversation with these ‘emi- nent personsges, and will be given their | photographs as a token of special esteem.

The Southern Pacific Company fears that the Chriztian religlon is becoming corrupted and defiled through the interference of one or two Eastern clergymen in secular things, and takes thi xu’-x 8 01 keep- ing the faith pure in Californin. 1t congratu- Jates the ministry of the coast that none of its members have sotled their cloth by dalliance with any of those vicious and worldly move- ments which are falsely called advanced. Any pastors of rich churches, who through nervous prostration have come to -think that society is not perfectly just, or that the masses are not perfectly happy, wili be given an ex- | tended European tour from the ministers’ | fund. They will their malady is entirely cured. Mr. Huntington now frankly admits that | he sees the advantages of higher education more clearly than ever before. He finds that his designs are hampered only by base and | uneducated persons. He is not aiware that a single college graduate has thrown any ob- stacles in his way. If learning does not place men on the same level with the rich it atleast tenches them to perforate and despise the vulgar fallacies of the common working herd. Friends near the great man say that he is sure to do something substantial for the university graduates’ associations of this State.

Lillian Beddard, who has achieved suc- cess in Shakespearean roles, met in San | Francisco with perhaps the first, and at any rate the most disagreeable, incident of her career as a legitimate actress. “I came here,’” she said in an interview last night, “‘with the most brilliant pros- pects and the most flattering testimonials from England, Africa and Australia, and I starred three weeks in ‘Siberia’ in Stock- well's Theater, and received flattering notices from the press, however not more flattering than I have received elewhere. But—" "And here a pout clouded the countenance of the bright little Knglish woman, and a sober look stole into her light blue eyes as she added: “Mr. Stock- well and I didn’t agree very well, and my | husband, Hereward Hoyte—that's before | I was divorced from him—was drinking heavily ana sqnandering my money. That | has thrown me back considerably ;" so you | may see that I have not been very well | treated bLere.” Although this story so briefly told must have been a sad one to remember the pout was the only thing that marred the sun- | shine on the merry face of the plucky lit- | tle woman, who has always chosen to look | on the blithesome side of life. No one would take Miss Beddard for an English | woman, the only thing English about her | being the cultured accent that rolis and rattles the royal r-r-r. But thatis all. The rest is of sunny, vine-clad France, | whose people have hearts as warm as the |are grown. The light blue eyes wear a perpetual smile; the fair face, framed in curly blonde hair, is that of one who en- joys thegood things of life and pays but iittle beed to the disagreeable ones. Diamonds being some of the good things, she has them in plenty, and they scintillate from her throat and fingers, making her | quite a sparkling grass widow indeed. |~ When one looks at her and thinks of the divorce he wonders why a man with a | wife so charming should drink so much. | But, perhaps, that is because of the cussed- | mess of the sterner sex. | Miss Beddard has a fine collection of plays, mostof which were written specially for her. One of these is *‘The Whute | Queen,” written by Palgrave of London, author of **Jane Shore.”” It is a historical vlay of the time of Louis XII. She pro- duced this in London, and realized a large um of money out of the performances. ‘The White Woman,” a dramatization of Wilkie Colling’ “Woman in Wuite,” is an- | other of her favorite pieces. She hasin her | repertoire several melodramas, among them “The Gambler's Wife,”” by Neil of London; “The Mascot of Montana,” by her ex-husband, Hereward Hoyte, and sev- eral comedies, one of which, ‘“I'ne Divided Skirt,” has never been produced. In London she played a long and suc- | cessful season as Lady Macbeth to the | Macbeth of Walter Bentley. She played it also for two weeks in Edinburgh, and the bagpipers serenaded her every . *‘Poor fellows! They s2emed to enjoy it so much., They really think it's music,” and Miss Beddard laughed heartily as | though she could see ho musicin “The Reel o' Tulloch,” “Mi: Heart Is Sair for | Charlie,” “We're na That Fu, but Jist a | Wee Drap in Our Ee,” and the other se- | lections rendered with much explosive- ness by the braw and kiited Scotsmen. i Miss Beddard was the first Shakes- arean actress to visit Johannesburg and Kimberly, the gold and diamond centers | of SBouth Africa, and she coined money there in the name of William Shakespeare. | Among her enthusiastic patrons were: Cecil KRhodes, the South African states- | man; Paui Kruger, the Boer President; | Mayor Graaff of Cape Town. A beautiful full-blooded collie dog, tve gift of Cicil Rhodes, accompanies the actress wherever | she goes. He is ope of the most faithful | of animals, and she would not part with him for his weight in gold. i Whilein Cape Town, the actress was | | very much interested in the Malay popu- | lation. They are inveterate theater-goers, { and their women on such occasions attend | pedecked in the most gorgeous of silks, | and shod with embroidered slippers, rain | or shine. 3 | People pay good prices to see a show in Africa, the lowest being half a crown, and | ranging from 5 shilliags to 10 shillings six- nce. The boxes fetch from 3 to 5 guineas. t a benefit the rates are much higher. “S8an Francisco is strange in_one thing, and that is that they don’t give diamonds to actresses,’’ continued Miss Beddard with alangh. ‘““At my benefit in Kimberly I got £750 worth of diamonds.” It was suggested that Kimberly was a diamond district where the miners threw diamonds at the birds, while San Fran- cisco was noted for its profusion of flowers all the year round, which tbe people made up into bouquets and threw at actressesand at themselves. Miss Beddard intends to oben a season here with one of her own playsin a short time. Funeral of a G, A. R. Veteran. The funersl of Erwin R. McElroy took place at 1 o’clock yesterday afternoon from 320 Post street. It was conducted by George H.Thomas Post, G. A.

Its Signs Are Now in Forty Stations on the Southern Pacific Railroad. Superintendent Fillmore of the Southern Pacific appears to have been made the vic- tim of a bright little scheme on the part of the Morton Special Delivery Company. For years he has waged a constant warfare against the new baggage-smashing con- cern in order to protect the Pacitic Trans- fer Company in the rights for which it has paid. Peanut buichers were even forbid- den to sell on the trains books containing the Morton Company’s advertisement, and every possible means was taken to prevent the traveling public from knowing that they could have their trunks transferred for thirty-five cents if they saved their checks until they reached San Francisco instead of giving them to the agent on the train, who charged fifty cents. That was the condition of affairs up to last Wednesday. To-day nearly forty of the railroad’s stations are decorated with large cards warning people not to give their checks to agentson the trains, but to save them until they reach the City and have them moved for thirty-five cents by the Morton Delivery Company. The new cards were a great surprise to the ticket agents, but they had nothing to say on the subject, except that they were ‘‘put up by Fillmore’s orders.” At first it was thought that a compro- mise had been effected between the two transfer companies, but investigation proves otherwise. W. R. Morton of the delivery company, when spoken to about the matter, chuckled in the most pleased manner and had the appearance of 2 man contented with his handiwork. “We have to be on the lookout for these opportunities to bring our mame before ghe public,” Mr. Morton said, “‘and I have been working on this scheme a long time. I did the work through a well-known sign company, and think the thing will stick or somebody will get damage: “This is the way it ’ he went on. “The sign company made an agreement with Fillmore to put up large frames of ad- vertisements in seventy different stations tbroughout the State. Their contract reads that it shall be of ‘any firm or per- son and so worded as not to be libelous or mdecent.” As we are safe on any of the exceptions, I don’t see what Mr. Fillinore can do except allow our sign to remain in the frames or pay the Adsigns Company a large bill of damages for the amount they would lose by baving it taken out.” Mr. Morton :mifed in the most pleased manner and icontinued: ‘‘The men started out with the signs last Wednesday, and by this time most likely have them in every station between here and Sacra- mento and down to Fresno. Itis also the intention to place them in the stations oi the coast divisions. In fact, they will go anywhere that they will do the most good. In'any event it is not my fight, as thesign company has guaranteed me against any trouble.” If the signs don't stay there I don't pay for them.” Evan J. Coleman of the transfer com- pany expressed great surprise when told that the Morton Delivery Company had put up signs advertising their business in the stations between Bengeia and Sacra- mento. *‘Surely,” he said, ‘“‘vou don’t mean to say they are in the station build- | ings?” Vhen informed that they were, he be- came quite indignant for a few moments, and finally came to the conclusion that Mr. Fillmore could know nothing about them. ‘“‘Our contract with the railroad company will not allow those signs in their depots, and I wiil look into the matter to-morrow. We pay a large sum for the privilege of doing business on toe trains and pay the agents many thousands of dollars & year in salaries for their work. The Morton Company now has more privileges than it should have and it pays practically nothing for them. Those signs cannot remain there, and I am surprised that 1 have not heard of them soomer. But I am sure that Mr. Filimore has been fooled and as soon as he hears of it will order the signs taken down.” As the matter stands it seems to have great possibilities for a pretty fizht any- way you look at it. If Mr. Fillmore has been’ fooled the chances are that some- thing will “‘pop” when he discovers the trick. If the Morton signs have really been put up with his permission he wiil have his f\ nds full to square matters with the Pacific Transfer Company so that things are bound to be interesting for the people, particularly those who have an in- terest in the transferring of trunks for 35 cents instead of 50 cents. QUIT YE LIKE MEN. Rev. Anna H. Shaw Discourses on the Requisites of Man- liness. The California-street Methodist Church wes crowded last evening by an audience chiefly of ladies assembled to hear Rev. Anna H. Shaw’s elaboration of the text: “Watch ve; stand fast in the faith; quit ye like men ; be strong.” She prefaced her address by the remark that she would use the word man in the generic sense. Miss Shaw continued: The keynote of the test is strength of char- acter. The failuresof the past have been ow- ing to characterless humanity. The world has had too many weak women. What it — f—\smart Broadway, New York, druggist has this sign hanging outside his store; it marks the new era of drug selling. Is it any wonder that he has. to enlarge his quar- ters, that his clerks are busy, and that his store is one of the most popular along the leading thor- oughfare? ou can afford to trade with a druggist that has such a motto as that. needs is strong-minded, self-respecting, selt- assertive women. A stream cannotTise higher than its source. A man cannot rise to a char- acter level higher than his parentage. A man’s character is himself. He canescape his enemies, butnot himself and his character. There are three things necessary to a strong character. It must possess moral courage. A man may be physically courageous, but a moral coward. It is no easy thing to turn aside from the beaten track of thought and action, not alone when the tice of public senti- ment, but the pleas of loved ones, are against such a course. A cross is beautiful at Easter- tide. But how rude and bard was that one borne nearly 1900 years ago? A man of Strong character ;ust be & man of unalterable faith in God. All those who haye gone forth witih a great truth for the world have been men of such abiding faith. The world is still mourning the Christ song Byron might have sung. Unfaltering obedience to the commands of God is an essential of & strong character. man is capable of leadership unless he be will- ilng to follow in the footprintsof the lowly hrist. A man should be loyal to what he believes to be true. There is more manhood and hope in him who cieaves to the_truth as he conceives it 10 be, even though it be not truth, than him who is false to the truth he has recognized. People have seid men cannot live up to the standards of women; that those standards are too high. But they are God’s standards. It behooves the bearers to hold God’s standards higher than the standards of the world. NEW TO-DAY—AMUSEMENTS.
