» CISCO CALL, SDAY, APRIL 29, 1896. THE CONSUL AND THE ARMY. Emma Booth-Tucker Meets | the Soldiers at Metro- politan Temple. A GREAT GATHERING. The Leader Was Too Il to| Make an Extended | Address. NO DOUBT AS TO LOYALTY. sang one of the specially applicable salva- ! tion songs. Then the consul came forward and placed her hand upon the flag-covered rail at the edge of the stage. But with another burst of greeting the great congregation recog- nized her as her father’s daughter. She is not what the world would call beautiful. Tall and straight of stature, ner | features are large and sharply outlined; | large mouth; large, straizht, sharp nose; | eyes contident and commanding, rather than appealing. Just so were her father's. ‘It is a difficult matter to tie a true Sal- vationist down,” she began. Her voice | was not smooth, but vibrant and some- what sharp and unmusical, but, as she warmed to her address, it was soon dis covered she had the gift of words, which, | in her earnestness, grew to be eloquence. | Just £0 was her father. _ She did not speak long, but said she hoved to be fully equal to such an occa- | sion as this great audience presented, by | to-morrow night; *“‘and Brigaaier,” she | said, turning to the commander of the Pacific Coast division, “‘we mus® hear this | place filled with the glad cries of those | who Teel the Redeemer within them.” | She then told something of the story of | the work of the army, ‘‘that has enabled | us to plant the blood-and-fire flag in forty- | two colonies ana almost entirely round | the world.”" | _She had been using the simile of the en- { gine and the train of cars to illustrate the | speeding progress of the army and i!s‘ work. “I wish to say one word more be- Cnly Slight Reference Made to the | Recent Ballington Booth Incicent. Metropolitan Temple has been standing | on Fiith street a good many years, bug it | has never seen such a sight as it witnessed | last mght when the poke bonnet of Consul | fore I sit down,” she said. “I wish to say that the engine-driver must have the light. | 1f he may not surely there must be acci- dent, wreck, disaster, if he does not.” She tola a story of “one of those poor | priests of India, who, hoping to get nearer to God by renouncing the things of earth, | spent his life in a little cave in the moun- | tain side.

A FINE PIECE OF WORK Number of Artistic Illustra- tions Adorn the Volume, SOME FEW BITS 'OF SATIRE Professorial Censorship Prevents the Publication of H.ts at the Faculty, One of the neatest and most elegant specimens of bookmaking yet produced on this coast is the new ‘‘Blue and Gold” book of the University of California, The NN N Consul Emma Booth-Tucker at Metropolitan Temple—Acclamations of the Enthusiastic Army. Emma Booth-Tucker appeared ben(.'n!h‘ the flags that framed the stage. Brigadier Keppel had his army on its ! fect at the time singing hallelujahs. The army was banked in a solid mass from the line of the stage to the roof. The poke | bonnets and the red shirts were in such | evidence as gave an unusual warmth to this picture that is not unusual in Metro- politan Temple. The balconies weu‘ draped in the colors of the army. From | the roof, in the center, above the stage, | swung down on each side of the big organ | the American flag. | At the end of the balcony to the left of | the stage was stationed a brass band that was adding its timbre and tempo to the | ery of “Tear down the forts of Satan.” | In the midst of a fortissimo descent upon | the “forts of Satan'’ the majors and cap-| tains and ensigns that form the directing | energy of headquarters, who were massed | upon the stage, made way and the réd- banded, poke-bonnet of the consul came through. ‘I'be trombone lifted up its voice two octaves, the brass bana developed its last possibility of rolling thunder, and the laas and lasses of the army broke into such hallelujahs as left no doubt that the forts of Satan had come down. The consul simply smiled and waved her nandkerchief. When it had died down and Brigadier Keppel could be heard, he said, **I wonder what they think of tnis in heaven?”’ Brigadier Keppel lained 1hat the consul was really a very sick woman and bad risen from a sick bed to come to this meeting. He hoped thatshe might not | be too severely taxed; said he himself had advised her againsi’coming here, but he could not prevail. The extraordinary ex- ertions that this journey had demanded of her, the constant traveling and speak- ing had overtaxed her physical resources, and she was now suffering from a severe attack of the grip, for her speedy release from the effects of which every soldier of the army would join praying. Major Halpin, editor of the War Cry, led in an elogquent prayer in behalf of the | went out. | whom he labors to bring into the lignt was not equal to the task, and his dog | dragged him up where the licht of the set- | ting sun reached him and his own light | Unlike this poor creature, the Salvation leader lives among the people with himself, but he, too, must have the | light. Sometimes therc are storms ana | winds that appear to hinder the progress of the train, but God can make them winds of assistance rather than hindrance, and surely he will do so.”” Only in this brief fashion did she touch upon the recert dissension in the army led by her brother, Baliington Booth. After speaking some fifteen minutes she said her strength was fast failing her, and she closed and retired from the stage. Major Lewis, a_young English woman who 'is the consul’s chief assistant on this tour, made a short address, explaining someéthing of the army and navy league of the Salvation Army, of which she is more especially at the head, and the work of which is to be inaugurated during her stay here—a work especially directed toward the saving of seafaring men. _After some more singing and exhorta- tion by Major Malan the m eeting ciosed with the firing of several volleys in behalf of the consul. The meeting wes preceded by the great- est street parade in the history of the army in this City. The Chinese corps was a distinct feature, there being no less than thirty Chinamen in the line. There will bs another meeting to-night and still another to-morrow night. On Thursday afternoon there will be a special meeting, to which the auxiliary members of the army are invited. The name of every mine in the State, its location, postoffice address of superin- tendent or owner, number of men em- loyed, ete., is now appearing in tabulated orm for the first time in the Mining and Scientific Press, 220 Market street. o In 1865 C.

He is sure that it is his brother’s old pocket piece. volume is a large quarto, daintily bound in light blue linen with gold lettering, and printed on the finest quality of thick cream- tinted, hot-pressed paper. This work con- | sists of 208 reading pages, each of which isagem of the typographer’s art, while the large number of illustrations with which the volume is embellished render it even more attractive. Every effort has been made to confine the work of compiling the volume to col- lege talent. As the editors observe, the contributions from outside sources have been few, and for the most part necessi- tated by the pressure of time. Among those who have lent their aid and advice to the work are E. L. Steele, W. 8. Wright and Messrs. Sydney, Armour and Watson of the Art School and Miss Watson and Mr. Tebbs, to whom are due many of the illustrations, vignettes and tailpieces with which the book abounds. The fine photograpLic views of the uni- versity grounds were taken by Miss Jessie Trowbridge. O. V. Lange fathers the ex- cellent photograph of the cadet officers, while the headpiece to the freshman his- tory is the work of Mr. Webster of Oak. land. The remainder of the illustrating was done for the most part by H. B, Quinn, the staff artist, and certainly re- fiects much credit upon his ability and judgment as an artist. The book will ‘‘come out” this afternoon during the maneuvers of the student cadets on the university campus, and its advent is most eager? looked for. The students have received vague hints that within its covers are to be found all the college jokes of the year; they have been led to belieye that the hits and digs occa- sionally haye for their object some grave professor of the university, hence curiosity is rife. A peculiar feature is the gayly incisive fasbion in which the idiosyn- cracies of some of the college ‘‘freaks’’ and the ambitious aspirations of the juniors are noted. All theselittle waysand foibles are depicted in sarcastic doggerel and cut- ting rhyme, illustrated by fantastic ana sometimes hideous caricatures.

Still the students look for some neat, sharp thrusts at the faculty, and the editors say they are willing to abide b{ any conss- quences which may be brought about by | any personal allusions. The frontispiece of the work is very ar- tistic. The bear of California 1s repre- sented stalking through his native forests, on his back a little junior bearing a banner | on which appears emblazoned the title, “The Blue and Gold,” and on a fancy background lower down, are the words, “Published by the junior class, University of California, 1896.” Another interesting feature is the roll of the faculty, or “aca- demic senate,” with photogravures of the principal professors, the likenesess of Pro- fessors Le Conte, Soule and Hilgard, being perticularly litelike. | In the *‘History of Ninety-8ix” there is | & tuch of grim "humor which will prob- ably seem far from humorous to the par- ties against whom the daintily-veiled arrow is directed. The *‘Chronicles of Ninety-Seven’’ also display much wit and originality though, perhaps, of a less pungent type. Long lists of the students, with their likenesses, are given, the art work being specially deserving of men- tion. Two ““Freshmen's Diaries,” presumably genuine, are given and f)rovide interesting reading. Then follow lists of the college fraternities with lifelike photographs of the officers of each; similar lists of the ath'etic, social and sporting clubs cf the university, and other data of like charac- ter, with programmes of the various stu- dent fetes during the year. A farce in one act_eniitled ““Behind the Shutters’’ makes delightful reading, save for a few typographical errors which dis- tract the peruser’'s attention. A number of poems, gay and serious, and of various degrees of merit are sprinkled through the work and add much to its interest. The remainder of the book is taken up by humorous sketches, personal notes and jokes, which will not fail to be appreciated y_ the initiated. As a whole the work reflects much credit upon the skillful and painstaking designers and will doubtles: find an honored place in many a library. A committee has been formed in Liver- pool for the purpose of raising funds for the erection of a memorial to Mrs. Felicia Hemans.

A He Says Is Consistent. GIVES A CAUSTIC CRITICISM. The Rector of St. Patrick’s Tells of His Acquaintance With County Clerk Jordan. The following communication addressed to TuE CALL is self-explanatory: 0. Cal., April 28, 1896. Editor Call: Yest y in correspondence or news from Oakland THE CALL informed its readers that Mayor Dayie and County Clerk ank Jordan say that the facts upon which Father Yorke made his assertions last Sunday might in St. Francis de Sales’ Church were mis- represented to him, and therefore they would not reply to Father Yorke. 1t s further in the same news item that Father McNally commended the remarks of Clerk Jordan, on the occasion of his presiding at an A. P, A. meeting, and that Father McNally said if such were the belief of the order he could say nothing against it. in all my life up to date, and for the remaining Fomon I never want to know him as long as he continues “Davie, the renegade.” I never of course, spoke to Davie, and there- fore my conversation must have been to County Clerk Jordan. No man knows better than Frank Jordan what I think of A. P. A.- ism. He drew for me the sweetest and mildest picture of his words above alluded to, which words as enunciated to me by the ever-smiling Frank were indeed harmless and without uile. Itold him that if such were the prin- ciples and aims of the A. P. A. it could let in everybody. Meanwhile I asked what of the oaths, bigotry, rampant preacher tirades, lies, end infamous language against the Catholic church—oaths in violation of all constitutional order and d\v(lne charity—and their going around to oust Catholics outof their positions, etc. All such he condemned as utterly abom- inable and distasteful to him. This was all private conversation. Everyone understands the nature of private and friendly conversa- sation, and Frank must remember my words of censure and advice. 1am surprised at his i troducing my name evidently to shield him. He seeins to think that even in Oakland an A. P. A, is pretty safe if he can get within the shado my name. Frank Jordan is person- ally ehildlike and bland.

Sir, I condemn any and every man who joins any society or will be found on the roll of any society or in the | companionship of any persons, aud especially | every member of the A. P. A., whose oath would oblige them to tear into shreds our con- stitution of civil and religious liberty and vio- | late the laws of charity, engendering hate and | bad feeling among fellow-citizens, setting man | against man, neighbor against neighbor, filiing the “Home of the Brave” with religious dis. sensions and domestic strife. Here is where I am side by side with Father Yorke in strongest condemnation of citizens who claim to be broad-minded and who have not at all & | citizen’s mind, who for the sake of pelf and political gain sell the birthright of their American manhood. Out on such people! Shame on those itinerant preachers who pro- mulgate such infamous teaching! Personally, Frank Jordan and other such Franks are socially pleasant, but, being A. P. A.'s, are devoid of principle and are in manhood small and dwarfed and withered—caricatures on American citizenship. J. B. MCNALLY, Rector St. Patrick’s Church, A TOWN OF CELEBRITIES. The Stranger Wanted to Find a Few Common People. Ex-Governor Perham, one of Maine's best preserved and happiest ‘‘ex’s” enjoys telling a story of a stranger’s visit to a little Maine Hill town of fragrant mem- ories, where one of the natives took pleas- ure in politely pointing out the local ob- jects of interest. “There,” said the villager, pointing to a hanasome old-style bouse, ‘lived a former member of Congress; yonder on that street you see that big square house where one of Maine’s most distinguished sons was born, who was successively mem- ber of the Legislature, House of Represen- tatives in Congress, United States Senator for a generation and Vice-President; right down there is the modest printing office where one of our boys used to works whence he graduated to become a leading political editor and afterward Postmaster- General.” As the promenade continued around the village the native directed the attention of the visitor to other old residences. “There,’’ said he, ‘“is the former home of another member of Congress, Governor of the State, etc., and over across there is where another M. C. once resided. Right down the street. there is the old home of Judge C. and over there is where Judge E. used to live years ago. We've got a good lot of pretty famous lawyers, editors and colonels besides that I haven’t men- tioned.” By this time the stranger was beginning to get decidedly interested and burst forth with the enthusiastic inquiry: “Haven’t you ever had any common people in your town ?"'—Lewiston Journal. ——————— The largest tree in the Western Con- tinent, and perhaps in the world, is the ‘‘Father of the Forest,"” one of the Califor- niaredwoods.
