LA BELINFANTE'S FAREWELL. The Blind Prima Donna Has Consented to Give Two Concerts. In compliance with many urgent re- quests, Signorina Estrells Belinfante, the beautiful blind prima donna, has con- sented to give two two farewell concerts before her departure for the East, en route for Italy. The charm of this singer’s voice ard style is undoubted, and com- bined with the association of her sad be- reavement, cannot fail to create a furor as her genius becomes known. The signorina will be assisted by Herr Mollenhauer and other brilliaut talent at both concerts. One will be given at Beethoven Hall on Saturday next, the 20d inst., and the other on Sunday, the 3rd inst., at Bersaglieri Hall. The signorina has been especially drawn to her own people in_this City, and this last con- cert is a peculiar tribute to their mutual * admiration and affection. MRS. JOP{NSON’S CONDITION. The Victim of the Electric Car Is Very Low. Mrs. V. N. Johnson, wife of Special Pen- sion Examiner Johnson, who was so badly mangled by a Tuark-street electric car on Friday, is still in a very precarious condition. Col. Johnson was seen at his residence, 612 Van Ness avenue, last even- ing. He said his wife was suffering ex- THE CONVERSION OF WONG LUNG. €unday Scene at the China- town Salvation Army Station. BAND OF HEATHENDOM. How One Backslider Was Led Into the Saving Fold Again. CHINESE MARY IS ALL ALONE The Only Celestial Woman in the Army in All the World. Wong Lung had been on his knees for half an hour last evening surrounded by the detachment of Salvation Army sol- diers, who were pleading with him to de- nounce the gods of his fathers—the im- ages of wood and stone of the heathens— i Scene at the Chinatown Salvation Army Station Last Night When Wong Lung Announced That He Had Been Persuaded to Be a Christian. houseful of soldiers andlauditors—he was | won. When he announced that he had | beep fully persuaded to be & Christian the | entire corps sprang up with cries of halle- lujah and the waving of handkerchiefs and the beating of the bass drum. Jo Kim threw his arms around Wong Lung and | danced a waltz quite after the Christian fashion, ; ’.rhe noisy rejoicings continued for some | minutes and then the little corps of sol- | diers gathered about the new convert and | begged him to say something. And bhe | did. Bpeaking in his native Chinese he | said what has been already said about | him: that he was a backslider of the worst | type, but that he had now resolved to be true to his new faith and give up every- | thing to follow its teachings. | Wong is not an ill-looking Chinaman | and his pronouncing himself a superla- | tively wicked man must be taken in the | same light with which St. Paul called him- | seif the chiefest of sinners when he was really a very proper kind of man—that self-abasement that is characteristic of the lately converted Christian, language of the heathen, but thefr earnest- ness makes itself understood, and Jo Kim and Chinese Mary do the exiiorting in the native tongue. Jo Kim is a very intelligent young man and in his enthusiasm a typical Saivation- ist. He has been a sworn-in soldier for | some time and has application in for a commission. 3 Chinese Mary was converted nine months ago at Santa Rosa and she was sworn in three months ago. She does not aspire to be an officer, but is content to work in the ranks. And she is a hard worker, too. No one enters into conver- sation with her, be they Coristian or heathen, without being questioned as to | the state of their soul. Captain Jackson, in charge of the sta- tion, has traveled all over the coast, her work being chiefly that of founding new stations and corps, at which, with Lieu- | tenant Jones, she has been very success- ful. The Chinese contingent is preparing to take part in the demonstration to Com- mander Booth-Tucker to-day. | i and give hisheart to the one God of Christ- endom. 1t was not an entirely new experience to ‘Wong Lung, for he had. once before signi- tied a conversion and had joined the Pres- byterian mission in Chinatown. But he was a backslider of the most pronounced tyve, according to his own statement. For two years he had ceased to attend the meetings and had fallen in such evil ways as have their outward forms in fan-tan and the burning of incense and the pros- tration of the body before the immoved joss. For two years he had passed by the Presbyterian mission on the other side, with no signs that he wouid ever cross over again. Then the Salvation Army, with its ban- ners and drums, marched across the plaza, up into Chinatown and established meet- ing-place in the 800 block of Sacramento street and 1nvited the heathen to come and learn of the Cristian God, as they taught of him. Two American women. wearing the red badge, officered the army and the troops cousisted of Jo Kim, a young Chinaman, and “Chinese Mary,” said to be the only Chinese woman soldier in the world. They rented a cottage in the 900 block on ths same street, and the four of them, with Captain King, a German, went to house- keeping there. The Chinese corps, as it is called, quickly became one of the features of Chinatown. The natives came to the meetings through curiosity and read upon the walls the strange texts of the Chris- tian Bible, printed in their own heathen characters and heard the son:s of the strange God to the thrumming accompani- ment of the banjo and the sonorous wail of the concertina. For Captain Jackson, Wwho led the invasion, can play very well upon this as well as upon the piano, which also hasa place there. And when they are all going—for Jo Kim plays the con- certina and Lieutenant Jones the banjo— and the Chinese audience, each individual of which has selected his own key, is try- ing to follow the tune, the effect is such as to appeal strongly to the Chinese musical ear. The station met with remarkable success from the day of the opening on the 18th of March, and the red badge of the Salva- tionist is beginning to add its distinet touch to the prosaic of color in the streets of Chinatown. Captain Jackson places the number of conversions at about eighty in the short time, and of these about fifty are wearing the cap and ribbon. There are no women. Chinese Mary has still no com- panion of her sex in the ranks. Wong Lung was among those whose curiosity led him to follow the flag and tremely from tne shock to her nervous system ana the reaction that always fol- lows such severe injuries to the physical system. Mrs. Johnson’s injuries consist of a fracture of the femur, an injury tothe right knee and bad contusions about the head, face and bands. Colone!l Johnson is deeply distressed, and stated that what the result of the shock and reaction will be is beyond buman knowledge or con- jecture. He hopes for the best and fears the worst. drum 1nto the little meeting-house, and, being interested, he went again and again, and last night he capitulated, and there was great rejoicing, as there is with every addition to the fast widening fold. He had been persistently besieged by the officers and the soldiers and last night he consented to be led up to the bench and kneeled down with Captain Jackson and Lieutenant Jones and Jo Kim, and while. they prayed and sapg— they and the Two conversions were registered in this fashion at the Chinatown station yester- day. Captain Jackson says that the con- verts are undoubtedly sincere. Somuch has the station attracted the sightseers of Chinatown that it has been found necessary to place a guard at the door, who forbids the entrance of any but soldiers of the army and Chinamen, as the station directs its undivided attention to the redemption cf the heathen. Of all the converts not one has been regularly sworn into the army as yet. A certain period of probation is necessary before that ceremony takes place. On that date, which is some two months remote, how- ever, there will probably be an exciting time in Chinatown. The services are held in both English and Chinese. Neither Captain Jackson nor Lieutenant Jooes knows anything of the 2 44 AR g& e FRBJI &R YR For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son that whoso. | ever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.— John, 1I1:16. THE FORWARD MOVEMENT A Series of Sermons to Be Preached in Unitarian Churches. } The Church and Its Relations to the Social 2nd Industrial Problems of Life. The Rev. Horatio Stebbins exchanged pulpits with the Rev. E. D. Payne of Berkeley yesterday. A series of six ser- mons are to be given by the Unitarian ministers on questions touching on the doctrines of their church and social and economical issues, otherwise known as “The Forward Movement.” Mr. Payne discussed “The Unitarian Church and Social Amelioration” at the First Uni- tarian Church yesterday morning. There was a large attendance and the discourse was listened to with much attention. Mr. Payne undertook to show that the so-called economic system of this day THE GOING 0UT OF HARRY McGILL. Promised to Return to Din- ner—Missing for Three Months. KNEW TRADE SECRETS. Men in Yokohama Who Were Interested in Watching His Movements. THE DETECTIVES MYSTIFIED. Left All His Personal Effects Behind. Was Warned of a Spy Fel- lowing Him. The going out of Harry McGill has mys- tified and troubled his friends in this City not a little. Diligent search and inquiry have been made, but no trace of him has been found. For three months he has been missing from his home with the Me- Clure family, at 1459 Guerrero street. He promised to return for dinner and kad an engagement with two ladies that evening. The Police Department has struggled with the case fruitlessly. Detective An- thony was given the case for some time, but he was unable to solve the mystery. There are grave fears of foul play, for it 1s known that McGill had enemies who were at least interested in watching his move- ments. He was the custodian, also, of im- portant business secrets, some of which, it is thought, he must have revealed to the Pacific Mail Company just before his dis- appearance. Saturday, February 1, Henry A. Mc- Gill, a young man 24 years of age, lately a resident of Yokohama, Japan, left the residence of William McClure, chief engi- | ner of the Pacific Mail Steamship Com- pany’s steamer City of Peking, 1459 Guer- rero street, whera he was stopping, fora short visit downtown and has never been seen by them since. McGill was well known in business circles in Yokohama, being connected with the well-known firm of T. M. Laffin & Co., ship chandlers and stevedores of that city. He had resided there for six years. [Every American vessel visiting that port had more or less dealings with the firm through young McGill, and he was very generally liked and respected for his good business and social qualities. He resigned bis position with the firm and went to Kobe, from which port he took passage on the Rio Janeiro for San Francisco early in November. He arrived here via Yokohama on the 26th of that month, putting up at the Golden West Hotel. January 4 he went to reside with Mrs. McClure, whose son, George Morse, engineer on the Zealandia and formerly on the Pacific Mail steamer China run- ning to Yokohama, was about the only acquaintance he had in this City on his arrival. It is now learned that McGill and his employer, T. M. Laffin, had a disagree- ment and McGill resigned his position, though Mr. Laffin made strenuous efforts to retain him and made him very tempt- ing offers. McGill, in his capacity of bookkeeper and clerk of the firm, was fully acquainted with certain transactions and business methods carried on between Laffin & Co., who liad a valuable billet with the Pacific Mail Company, and some of the Yokohama employes of the company. McGill had an idea that Laffin feared he would reveal these transactions if be came to America, and he believed it was only this fear which made Laffin so anxious to retzin him. It wasfor this reason and because he thought Laffin might seek to prevent his departure for America that McGill went to Kobe and took passage there instead of embarking at Yokohama. After his arrival in this City McGill was warned several times by a friend whom he had met in Yokohama that he was beiag shadowed by a man sent from that city for the purpose of observing if he communi- cated with the Pacific Mail authorities, and generation was sorely in need of amendment. “It needs to be rationalized,” he said, “and what is true of our economic system is also true of our civil and political ar- rangements. All need to be rationalized until we havea free—an out and out dem- ocracy of the people and for the people.” Speaking of the position of the Uni- tarian church on these questions he de- clared thatit had to assume some attitude. “I believe,” he said, ‘‘that our church should establish a free forum; should open up the pulpits to the discussion and study of economic problems; should make these great economic problems a part of church work.”” z Mr. Payne expressed the hope that the day would never come in these United States when an aristocracy, moneyed or otherwise, should grow up in this country and conflict with the rights and privi- leges of the people. Mr. Payne will speak on this subject at the Second Unitarian Church next Sun- day. At the evening services in the Wirst Church the Rev. A. J. Wells discussed “The Deeper Life.” At the Second Uni- tarian Church yesterday morning Rey. W. G. Eliot Jr. spoke on “The Life and Organization of & Unitarian Church,”’ and in the evening Dr. Stebbins discussed “The Contentment of Christian Faith,"” Both services were largely attended. ————— TYPOS MEET. Two Recent Decisions of President Pres- cott Not Favorably Received. The regular month]y meeting of San Francisco Typographical Union 21 was called to order in Skiels building at 2 o'clock yesterday afternoon by President J. J. Galyin. The cemetery committee reported prog- ress on improvement of the union’s plat in Laurel Hill Cemetery, and asked for a further appropriation of $100, which was granted. The plat is now one of the hand- gomest 1n the necropolis. The sum of $2000 having been expended from the traveling fund, it was ordered closed. Two recent decisions of President Pres. cott of the L. T. U. were not very favorably received, and it was decided to appeal both questions to the executive council, whose decision will be final. Alter reports from various standing and special committees, the meeting adjourned. ——— Iron has for ages been a favorite medi- cine. Over 100 different prepantlom of iron are known to the medical chemists, and probably with a view of preventing him from doing se, If such was the case the espionage was fruitless, for McGill did have a conference of several hours’ dura- tion with the general manager of the com- pany some days before his disappearance. The news came by the City of Peking, which arrived Friday, of some startling changes at the Yokohama end of the line. T. M. Laffin & Co. it appears have lost their good paying billet, and Captain W. A. Waly, tug and lighter master, and his forman havebeen discharged. McGill told his friends here that an agent of the Pacific Mail Company ap- proached him on the steamer at Yoko- hama and offered to refund him the money he had paid for his ticket to San Franciseo at Kobe and give him a free passage, but that he had declined to accept it, saying that he was able to pay for his passage with his own money. Itisknown thaton the Monday following thejdisappearance of McGill an important written communica- tion was sent to him from the office of the Pacific Mail Company in this City. “We are all greatly worried over the dis- appearance of Mr. McGill,” said Mrs, Mc- Clure, the wife of the chiet engineer of the City of Peking, to a .CALL reporter at her residence, 1459 Guerrero strset, yesterday afternoon. ‘““All of us were very fond of him. He had a gentle disposition, no bad habits and was very considerate of the younger members of my household. His relatives live in Nebraska and Illinois. He became intimate with my son, George Morse, when the latter was running as an engineer on steamers of the Pacific Mail. On the arrival of the Rio on November 26 George met young McGill on the dock and subsequently induced him to visit me and my family. We all liked him so well that Iinvited him to make my house his home. He gave up his room in the Golden West Hotel and about the first of the year moved his belongings to an apartment in my residence. He was with us about a month before he disappeared, but during that short stay he endeared himself to all of us. ‘'He was delighted with his surround- ings, and frequently spoke of ‘home Jife’ as being a new and very enjoyable experi- ence. He addressed me as ‘ma’ and treated me with the same courtesy and affection as my own son. When he first came here he gave me $85, all of the money he possessed, to keep for him. From time to time he asked me for sums of §5 and §10 for petty expenses, His re- | 1 laxationsand diversions were those of a gentleman, and consisted of visits to the theaters and other places of interest in the City, always accompanied by George Morse or one of his sisters. “Harry bad a splendid wardrobe and wore handsome jewelry, including a dia- mond ring and scarf pin. His jewelry is believed to have been worth at least $500. He became so fond of his home, the first he had enjoyed since a child, he seldom left the house. Frequently I urged him to o out if only for the air and outdoor exercise. He was a reflective young man, and I often noticed him wrapped in study. But he was full of fun and mischief, and a great favorite with the young folks of my housebold. On the Saturday of his disap- pearance, at an early hourin the forenoon, he asked me for $10, which I gave him. Ten dotlars then remained of the original deposit. ‘‘He made an appointment with my- self and young daughter to meet us at 2:30 o’clock 1n the afternoon here at the house for dinner and to escort us to Oakland, where we were to bid a friend good-by. Harry left my presence with a smile on his race, and I have never seen him since that morning. Iam always looking for his return and fight against the thought that he has been foully dealt with and probably killed. Still, if he were alive and well I know he would communi- cate with either George or myself. He left all his wardrobe and all of his little and necessary belongings. *I forgot to say Harry told us when he left the house that Saturday morning he might hunt up and call on a young lady lately arrived from Seattle whom he knew in that city. He knew she was in San Francisco; had met her on the street, and spoke of meeting her again on that Satur- day morning merely as a probability. He spoke so lightly of the matter no one even asked him the name of the visitor from Seattle. Harry’s disappearance was not reported to the police for several days be- cause I did not needlessly care to pain him. Four or five d ays after he vanished the detectives were notified and Officer Anthony, after a long delay, was assigned the duty of finding something definite about the boy’s absence. He finally re- ported to me here at home no trace of Harry could be found and indifferently expressed the theory he had been drugged and shipped aboard a vessel bound for the North Pacific. He also was anxious to learn if there was any reason existing to prevent Harry from returning to Japan. We know that Harry left Yokohama pos- sessed of the esteem of all who knew him save, perhaps, several persons with whom he had differed on apparently trivial matters. *“If Harry is found and in need it is my wish that I be communicated with at once. I have found among his effects nothing to indicate the exact place of residence of any of his family connections or Eastern friends, if indeed the poor lad really had any Eastern friends.” AT THE THEATERS. The Attractions That Are to Be Offered to the Patrons of the Various Places of Amusement. William H. Keith, the California bary- tone, is to appear to-night at the Columbia to assist Rivarde, thé Franco-Spanish vio- linist, who is to make his debut at this house. A fine iprogramme has been pre- pared. At the Baldwin Theater Richard Mans- field is to appear this evening as Baron Chevrial in the startling §lay entitled “A Parisian Romance.” e will be sup- ported by Miss Beatrice Cameron in the character of Rosa. Roland Reed is to continue in stage politics this evening at the California Theater. The play in which bhe and Isa- dore Rush appeared during the past week, “The Politician,”” has proved a great success. A play with a military tinge is to be presented at the Grand Opera-house this evening. It is entitled “‘Lady Lil,” and is founded on incidents of the Austro- Prussian war of thirty years ago. “My Son-in-Law" by Leonard Groveris the title ot the play to be offerea at Grover’s Alcazar this evening, with Mrs. Auzerais Hoyte in the character of Mrs, Bisbon, the romantic wife. Itisan amus- ing play. 3 “Blue Beard" is to remain on the boards at the Tivoli Opera-house this evening. The new songs and localisms in the second edition of the operatic bur- lesque, which are bright, have made a decided hit. But few attractions that have been placed on the boards of the Orpheum Music Hall have given more satisfaction to the patrons than the Trans-Oceanic Company. This company, with the mid- gets, appears to-night. There will be a horse show at the New Auditorium this evening. Professor M. D. Bristol will introduce to the audience thirty trick horses, some of which have attracted a great deal of attention in Europe. An attraction that drew well in this City, “The Night Clerk,” is to be pre- sented to the patrons of the Macdonough Theater in Oaglnud to-night by the Peter . Dailey Company. —————————— In 1783 the Supreme Court of Massachu- setts declared that the clause in the con- stitution ‘‘all men are created free and equal’’ was a bar to the existence of slavery in that commonwealth.
