14 et THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SUNDAY. APRIL 5, 1896. DEPEW AT THE UNION LEAGUE. The Great After - Dinner Speaker Appears at His Best. A NOTABLE GATHERING. Orator Blames Bourbon Stupidity for Business Depression. The LOOKS FORWARD WITH HOPE. General Barnes, a One Time College Chum, Is the Other Speaker of the Evening. Twoacollege, chums sat at dinner to- gether'in Maple Hall of the Palace Hotel last evening. They were Chauncey Depew and Genexal Barnes. They were separated by the portly form of Colonel Stone, president of the Union League Club, and radiating from them in the form of a dou- ble horseshoe sat 150 or more other Union Leaguers. The dinner was given in horor of Dr. Depew, and among the 150 were many well-known San Franciscans who own sllegiance to the Kepublican party. Given to the honor of Mr. Depew himself, -~ the d was still a political affa Dr. Depew’s active participation in politics, to the point even of more than once being named for the Presidential nomination, made it so. But the further fact, of which he makes no conceaiment, that ne is, in his present tour of the coun- try, championing the cause of Mor- ton, the choice of his State for President, set the seal upon it, even with the name of the Union League left out. And-yet in this gathering of distinguished ~ Republicans at this particular dinner the personality of Chauncey Depew rose over and above It was not Morton, but Depew that brought them together. W hen Mr. Depew smilingly referred in the course of his address to ‘the man that I am shouting for” there was a general polite b of applau But when he referred to “Ohio bringing forward, as she ought, the favorite of all,” there broke forth a lasting storm in the mere anticipa- tion of the utterance of McKinley’s name. With w political import there may have been in this, the banquet of the year, the dee; interest to those at the table still 1 the fact that Colonel Stone had the st of the evening at hisright hand, | e on his left there sat an old college chum of this same g n the person of General Barnes. Chauncey Depew was introduced as the most distinguished American citizen in private life. That was a thing very proper to say, for Mr. Depew has long been so recognized. His fame as an after-dinner speaker was referred to—and that has stood up as a monument in the land for many, many years. This is his first visit to the Pacific Coast, and, therefore, it was natural that a deep erest should att not so much to the iner as the after-dinner speech of the guest of the evening. le fulfilled every expectation. Clear, witty, pointed, full of ideas, flattering to his hearers, and yet bold enough to trench with graceful tact, however, upon doubt- ful ground, he evoked a frequent and en- thusiastic testimony that he had caught his audience. The delivery was graceful, easy and free, running with never an instant of | doubt as to the choice of a word, and with no apparent effort at oratorical effect—an ideal after-dinner address. He spoke for an hour, and while talking sipped his first glass of wine of the even. ing. When he sat down the audience ap- plauded until it became weary, and then rose to its feet and drank to his long life and good health. Then some one cried “Barnes,” and the cry ran round the tables, “Let me make this introduction,” said Mr. Depew, rising again. ‘‘Forty years ago, .about, I went to Yale, a callow vouth with yellow hair falling over my shoulders—the very greenest man from Peekskill. “In the class just ahead of me, I discov- eren the shining light of the university—the man who was to hold my attention, set for me an example and show me the way. He was already a recognized orator, and he is one of the few men that in their college days stand pre-eminent who fulfill their promise in after life, ““I refersto him who is now your fellow- citizen, General Barnes, my college mste of forty years ago.” Then General Barnes rose up on the other side of Colonel Stone and returned the compliment in his own fashion. He told the story of his friendship, ana how he had come to the banquet this night filled with eager curiosity to see and hear the man who had been his coliege chum, and who, parting with him at the college gate, had gone into the world to become the most eminent and representative of American citizens. Then he followed over the path that Depew had taken in his address, and with those strong, round poetical figures of his quickened the pulses of his hearers until the applause burst beyond all restraint, and the audience mentally said, “‘They are a pair of them yet.”” General Barnes’ address was one to quicken the spirit of patriotism to the uttermost, and his peroration brought the audience to its feet perforce as it had risen to Depew in cooler admiration. The address of Mr. Depew was as follows: Mr. President and fellow-members of the Union League Club: Several of the gentlemen as they came to-night into the reception-room told me that they recognized me from my pic- tures. I wondered with the vanity of a man of my years if I was like the pictures in the San Francisco papers. They certainly make me & contemporary of Noah a few days after he had his photograph taken when releasea from the ark. Nevertheless I have had a beautiful time in San Francisco from the newspapers as well as from every person in the town with whom I havecome in contact. It affords me infinite leasure to be here to-nigh: as the guest of the Tnion League Club. I belong to most every club in which men of iy size can be admitied, but most of all I value the member. ship in the Union League Club. I belong to the Union League Ciub of New York, which I believe was the parent of them all. Some clubs stand for the social element and others for other good things, but 1 | these, and at least for | fornia. MR. DEPEW AT THE UNION LEAGUE BANQU ““This grand system of protection went on until we reached the time of our greatest prosperity.” the Union League Club stands for nearly all of me of them. At least it stands for the principles of the Republican party and good government. The Union League Ciub as we have it organized is the represen f no machine which controls the principle and of no boss. It stands where for the principles which since the war have made it what it is to-day, and which it impossible for the party to secure the nomination of & man unworthy to bear the banner of the party. Turning then to clubs in general, Mr. Depery remarked that Americans had now become what he termed “a clubable peo- ple.”” Continuing, he saic 1t speaks for the advance of civilization that we have more clubs, in proportion to our popu- lation, than any other country in the world. We are alsoa Nation of dramatic people, and certainly there is no more dramatic country in land—one that the great Irving might envy for its magnificent stage properties—than Cali- But, while you hiave here & sort of val- ley of paradise, you compel a visitor 1o get to you through a worse desert than any by which any other land is approacned. After describing the physical inconven- tive of no faction of the party, of iences suffered in crossing the Mojave | desert, he continued : But when, at last, I emerged into the coun- | try where the verdure was upon the fields, | where the leaves wete npon the treesand where the flowers were in bloom, in every bone of my body I felt as if 1 had w California boulder which was 1ot gold, and thenjto open the pores of the skin, which had become clogged during | our desert journey, a California mosquito got in his work. But when I finally had bec clean and in my right mind, then I unde; what none in the East yet understands—what California is. He paid a glowing tribute to California, its present and its future, and then refer- ring to the course of interviews to which he was subjected, saic T tried to rise to the local situation with such possibilities as the English language affords, and then for the first time I realized that there are occasions where language is too poor and wholly unequal to what & man wishes express. Under the principles of government, that I | as well as the Union League belie fornia would drive Italy, Spain, Si Africa, Asia and Europe out of prunes, lemons, oranges, limes, olives, raisins and wine. And it would do more than that, it would bring the people who are worn out with the climate of the East. and the nervous prostration of the East, back to health and vigor, with its ozone- producing air. And more than ‘that, you would eliminate one of the great dangers that the medical profession most fear—by your seedless navel oranges you have removed the possibil- ity of appendicitis. [Laughter.] As I have raid, California is unknown to the rest of the Nation. You are a terra_incognita. 1 use_that ianguage for the benefit of my old Yale iriend, General Barnes. He says he talks nothing else here. We know nothing about you except your big trees, your big oranges, big bunches of grapes, big areas of land held by some big men, big beets [Great laughter] ——=and deadbeats. But no one wro comes within your State and sees what you have done can do o without appreciating more than ever the remark of Archimides, the great math- ematicial “If I could tind a fulerum I coula move the world.” The realization of that remark is probably being demonstrated to-day in the vast forces being gathered from the air and water in the shape of steam and electricity. Yet as Arch- imides understood it, it was a fruitless re- mark. But the Californian can proudly say, by paraphrasing the idea of ~Archimides, “Give me water and Ican feed and drink tne world.” I never in my life have been anything but a prohibitionist {laughter] in preaching and in practice, except on occasions like this. [Drinking from his glass.] I never before so thoroughly appreciated the resurrecting pow- ers of good water. The land that you have re- claimed and the fields that you have made to blossom and the in, Cali- Algiers, hillsides that you have brought into _ production by the simple power of irrigation shows what this State could do under prover prin- ciples of government — under -proper protec- tion [applause] and_liberal appreciation at home. [Avpplause.] Here you are as large as France, which is the richest nation in the world to-day, notwithstanding her vast debt, and which has 36,000,000 of people, while California has on!y 1,500,000. As I think what you can be and look at what you are my astonishment grows hour by hour that there should be in this State any man with intelli- gence enough to be out of doors who is not & Ted hot Republican. [Applause.] It is singular how we not only roll around as an earth, but how there are always cycles in the affairs of nations and peoples and that the remark is both trite and true that history re- Ppeais itself about every so often. It is given 10 few people to make in proportion to their ability in that line — fools of themselves. I would not have used that remark except that Iknow you are all readers of Doestick. Now, with us, we grow so fast and our accu- mulatfons are’ so great that the experiences of one gener ation are useless for the next, for the next know so much more than the one which preceded it. And so it is that we have twice in our history had a business experience with the Government which would have ruined any firm and disgraced any manager beyond the possibility of another job. The speaker then reviewed the financial history of the country under the free trade policy of the Democratic party in 1860 and again in 1893, when, during periods of pro- found peace, the Democratic administra- to | ] | tion found it necessary to borrow money n order to pay current expenses. Com- menting on this, he said: 1f there was an_individual or firm in busi- rent expenses it would soon be in the hands of Teceiver. As 1look back at the experiment of the last three years I recall the fact that this country nas had the experience and Eunrope has had the business. And as I think of my irfend | Grover, who has created these conditions in order to test the theory to which he is devoted, Iimagine in my mind that there will be ap: | plied to him & stanza which came to me t other day and which I believe was written to soothe & mother's sorrow. 1 will sumply change the name “Willie” to Grover: Little Grover from the mirror sucked the mercury | Thinking in his childish error it would cure his | whooping-cough. At the funerai to Grover's mother said Mrs. Brown 1t was a very cold day when the mercury went down. We are not the people that we ought to be. | | We have not the intelligence that we credit | | ourselves with. We have not the education which comes from a past that is sufficientiy | glorions, | Dr. Depew then referred to tne pres- | perity that resulted from the protective | policy adopted by George Washington snd | the protection Presidents who followed | | him. He spoke of the manner in which | | Abrabam Lincoln, by means of a protec- tive tariff, was enabled to carry on the | Civil War to a successful conclusion, ard | how the continuance of this polic eventually wiped out the enormous in- debtedness created during that trying and costly experience. All this he saidg was accomplished with- out the necessity of laying one dollar of taxation on the $70,000,000,000 of wealth in | this country. Continuing he said : | | And so this grand system of protection went | on until we reached the time of our greatest | prosperity. Thattime of prosverity was the last | | year of Republican administration and the last year of Benjamin Harrison. [Applause.] Referring again to Cleveland’s adminis- tration, he said that it gave the country a shaking up_from which it had not_yet covered. He spoke in favor of reciprocity | as advocated by Blaine, and declared for sound money on a gold basis so long as the other great nations of the world were onr_ creditors and declined to adopt a double standard. Any other course, he as- | serted, would seriously injure the credit of | the Nation. Hethen continued as follows: | League clubs have no candidates as individ- uals. They have preferences, but s organiza- tiouns they have no candidates. o il In the Democratic party the party is chasing | the candidate, and the only mun insight is my | friend Cleveland. % | But in turning to our side, what a_wealth of | candidates there is! And the beauty is that | any one of them if nominated would be accept- abie 10 the party. You can take any one of | them. | He then mentioned Cullom, Manderson, Morton, Allison, Reed and McKinley. While Morton, Allison and Reed were heartily applauded the name of McKinley brought the banqueters to their feet, and amid a wild waving of handkerchiefs the applause became almost deafening and wound up witn three lusty cheers for the Ohio statesman. Pausing until the noisy enthusiasm nad died away the speaker, with a touch of dry humor, remarked, “We are all Republicans,” and then con- tinued: But it makes no difference whether it is the statesman _you are now shouting for, or the statesman I am shouting for, or the statesman Jowa or New England 1s shouting for, we will get there just the same. Ana now, gentlemen, after two weeks of | most enjoyable experience, both with the natural attractions and with the hospitable pe(llple of your State, 1 bid you hail and fare- well.

Two Charges of Burglary Entered Against Edward Mulvihill at the City Prison. Edward Mulvihill was arrested on Fri- | day night by Policemen Driscoll and O’Mara and was booked at the City Prison yesterday on the charge of burglary. That afternoon he and a confederate went into a restaurant on Fifth street, hetween Mis- sion and Howard, and while the confed- erate kept the proprietor in conversation Mulvihill slipped upstairs to the living apartments and stole $1000 worth of dia- moods ahd a suit of clothes. The proprietor's attention was called to Mulyihill as he was sneaking out of the place, and he gave chase. Mulvihill dropped the snit of clothes, but escaped with the diamonds, which have not yet been recoyered. When Mulvihill was searched at the City Prison on Friday night several sets of dice, an organ key and a comb were found in his pockets. Last night these articles were identified by Frank Garcia, saloon-keeper, Mont- gomery street, as his property, and as the saloon was entered by burglars on Thurs- day night another charge of burglary was registered against Mulvihill. a The police say that Mulvihill is an East- ern crook and has served time in Joliet penitentiary for burglary in Chicago, e Europe produces on an average about 55 ercent of the world’s yearly wheat crop. North America erows about one-quarter of it; the United States more than 20 per cent of it, FOLLOWING BAD EXAMPLE Why Louis Behrmann and Harry " Steir Committed a Burglary. IMITATING THE OAKLAND BOYS Behrmann Was Until About Two Weeks Ago a Member of the Salvation Army. Louis Behrmann and Harry Steir, the two boys arrested Friday night on the charge of burglary, blame their fall from grace to a desire to follow the example of Abe Majors and Bert Willmore, the boy burglars in Oakland, which was engrafted on their minds by the exhaustive reports of their crimes that appeared in the news- papers. They are both intelligent looking boys and their faces do not give the slightest indication of anything vicious, but rather the reverse. Behrmann was a member of the Salvation Army for seven months, and it was ouly about two weeks ago that he left the orzanization. Steir's mother, a widow, has kept a restaurant at Fifteenth and Mission streets for several years. He is an only child ana his mother has given him a fair education and endeavored in every way to make a good man of him. Her grief at seeing him in a felon’s cell when she called at the City Prison yesterday morning was most af- fecting. “I was born in this City,” said Behr- mann last night, ‘‘nineteen years ago. My father was a cooper by trade, and died in 1891, m{ mother following him two years later. Tattended the Longfellow Primary School when I could, but since I was eight years of age I have had to work and keep myself. “About four years ago I answered an advertisement put in the papers by Mrs. Steir for a boy to help her in_her restau- rant, and got the position. I have been working with her since then, except for a few months when 1 was in the country. I got my meals at the restaurant and Mrs. Steir paid my room rent. ‘‘About a year ago Mrs. Rodgers, who keeps a lodging-house on Mission street, not far from the restaurant, where I roomed, blamed me for stealing $15 from her. 1 wasinnocentof the charge, and it 80 preyed upon my mind that a few months afterward I joined the Salvation Army branch at 631 Commercial street. “Iremained there forseven months, but two weeks ago last Thursday, something happened to discourage me, and I laid down my cross and took up my evil habits of smoking and drinking again. “Harry Steir had been reading all about the boy- burglars in Oakland, and he sug- gested to me that we should break into McCoy & Nesbitt's grocery, just to see how ~e would feel. We had both been drink- ing. Thursday night, when we decided to break into the grocery, Harry gota chisel, and we went to the rear door about half- past 10 o'clock. Harry forced open the panel of the door, but he could not reach the bolt, so I put my arm in and unbolted the door. = ““We first went to the telephone box, ex- pecting to get some nickels tbere, but it was empty. Harry went to the register and opened it, but it was also empty. Just then a dog upstairs began to bark, and we got scared. We grabbed some packages of chocolate and each took two Lunches of cigars out of a box and ran out of the rear door. Harry went home and I went to my room in the Winchester House, on Third street. “It is not true that there was $100 in the register. There wasn’t a cent. All the cigars we took were the four bunches, twenty-five in each bunch, and that wasn’t so very much. The police are trying to blame us for other burglaries in the Mis- sion, but they are wrong. When I was in the army money was stolen from the of- ficers’ quarters, and they are trying now to throw the blame upon me. I swear to vou this burglary is the only crime I have ever been guilty of. I have always led a Christian life until now, and if I get out of this trouble I shall never commit another crime.” Harry Steir is a round-faced, sturdy | looking boy of sixteen. He corroborated what Behrmann said as to the causes which led them to commit the burglary, and the manner in which it was perpetrated. “‘It wasreading about the Oakland boys,” said he, “that made me think of it. 1 had a dark lantern which I got two years ago, and I also made a mask, but we did not take either of them with us to the grocery. All we took was a chisel with which'I | forced open the panel of the door. The police found the mask and dark lantern in my room after I was arrested.” “Did you intend to commit any more burglaries?” “No,” said Steir, with a certain hesita- tion, which would convey the impression that if he had not been caught he might have tried it again. He does not seem to take his arrest as seriously to heart as Behrmann, and appears to look upon it more as a “lark’’ that anything else. The police suspect that other burglaries in the Mission have been committed by Behrmann and _Steir, notwithstanding their demial, as the modus operandi was the same; but so far they have had no means of verifying their suspicions. | | | | | SOME CITY DEATH TRAPS. Hundreds of Girls Exposed to Grave Peril in Case of Fire. The State Bureau of Labor Statistics is kept busy investigating the grievances of the working people. Thelast case to come before it was thatof a south of Market street necktie factory, in which several hundred girls and women are keot at work in an upper story surrounded by in- flammable materials and with no mode of entrance or exit save a narrow wooden staircase. The bureau meditated taking some action, if possible, for the placing of fire escapes in the front and rear of the building; but before making any advances in the matter it was judged prudentto consult the Fire Wardens as to the proper course to be pursued. Yesterday afternoon Warden John Wells called at the bureau and held a short con- ference with Commissioners Fitzgerald and Dam. He regretted being obliged to inform them that the law gave the wardens no control over buildings already erected, but only over those in course of construction or improvement. Hence in his opinion the wardens were powerless to render any aid to the commissioners in the carrying outof their humane design, “Never mind,” remarked Mr. Fitzgerald after the conference was over. “It looks as though our project had failed in thisin- stance, but, after all, we may be able to do something though not perhaps all we would wish. At least we will publish a list of places where human life and safety are allowed to remain in jeopardy by avari- cious empioyers. This necktie place is not the only one we have our eyes upon. Per- haps the published list of deathtraps may shame a i};w employersinto some degree of consideration for the lives which they hold in their hands. At all events it will warn them that they are being watched. There is one establishment downtown where sev- eral hundred girls are obliged to go to the upper floor in elevators without guards. Two giris have met a cruel death through this criminal negligence, but still there are no guards. One s often tempted to wonder whe]tlh't,er some men have any consciences at all. —_———— Ladies’ Southern ties, $1 45, all shades, every toe. Ryan & Ryan, 16 Mongomery avenue, * FRENCH DRESS FABRICS!
