TALKED OF HOME LIFE, Rev. Mr. Baker’s Lecture Before the American Protective Association. HE FAVORS WOMAN'S SUFFRAGE But Says There Should Be No Higher Ambition Than to Be Queen of a Household. Rev. Dr. Goodwir was to have addressed the A. P. A. meeting at Metropolitan Tem- ple yesterday afternoon, but was prevented by reason of sudden illness. Rev. F. K. Baker at the last moment was induced to fill the gap, and though not at all well himself, made a stirring patriotic address. Chairman Quitzow opened the meeting with the following remarks: “‘American Citizens and Friends: I re- gret that matters have so shaped themselves for us to-day that we are left without s speaker to make the address of the day. *“The friend who was to speak for us to- day is too sick to be here and to perform the duty we had assigned to him. ““We must not expect that everything in this struggle w:ll run smoothly, for if that were the case we would be apt to flag in our exertions and be thrown off our gnard, giving our opponents adecided advantage. While looking at the work we have taken upon ourselves from this standpoint, we are always reminded of the oft-repeated maxim, ‘Eternal vigilance is the price of liberty “‘Let us, therefore, live up to that maxim and resolve thut we will not allow our de- votion to the erand principles of the Amer- ican Protective Association to abate for one moment, but to reaouble our exertions to accomplish the aims of this novle insti- tution and see to it that every sentence of its platform is carried out and put into rractical working. “If we work for that end from purely selfish motives we will find that, by work- ing in unison, each individual worker will receive his just share of the benefits de- rived from the practical workings of the principies for which we are united. *‘But when working out these principles from a broader point of view, for the ad- vancement and benefit of all, with a feel- ing of good will to all men, we should feel doubly red to work for the fulfillment of our aims and objects, for the broadness of our motives will lend strength to our exertions and crown them with a greater glory. ‘‘The American Protective Association has just cause to congratulate itself upon the success it has aiready attained, for we have just held a convention at Sacramento entirely dominated by our people, to such an extent that a Sacramento paper, which isrun in the interest of our opponents, comes out in large headlines and styles the convention ‘An A. P. A. Council.’ *‘In this instance we are copstrained to say that this paper, the Sacramento Bee, has spoken the truth, and can only add that we expect and look forward to the Great National Council of A, P. A. to be beld at S8t. Louis to do their work hon- esuy, patriotically and fearlessly, so that we will feel proud when going to the be: What am I? What am I susceptible and capable of doing? What are the laws governing my present condition? What ure my possibilities? 4 “Man is the highest product of his own history. The discoverer finds nothing so grand or so tall as himself, nothing so val- uable to him. The greatest star is that at the littie end of tne telescope—the star that is looking, not looked after, nor looked at. ; “I now come to the second point— woman—not fashion’s gilded creatures, but sun-hearted, whole-souled women who will come to the rescue of home and native land. 3 ‘‘They make the best soldiers to press tge battle against the threatening evils of the day. *‘We would be hopeless without them. 5 “When they \m&nake anything they o it. ““When she will, she will, you may d_e- pend on it; and when she won't, she won’t. Ard there's an end on it. “They possess more firmness, persever- ance and patience. B “When they have force of character enough to conceive any national enter- prise or reform they are sure to carry it through. ‘A finer type of capable, refined and educated womanhood never lived than now. ““‘We should stand in admiration of their unbroken trust and indefatigable energy. “Woman'’s devotion to the home and native land is no passing impulse—no mere emotion. “During the last half century the sphere of her work has greatly increased and en- larged, until all great reforms bear her name and character. “The time has come when we need to put the right suffrags in the hands of our mothers and daughters. **‘All rightful civil government is only an enlarged form of the family govern- ment in a representative form, taking into consideration the needs of each individual family within its jurisdiction. The only safeguard to National perpetuity, peace and honor is the unity and perpetulty of the family tie in purity and peace. It is well said: ‘Demoralize the family and you thereby desiroy domestic and National happiness and undermine completely the temple of virtue and hope and prepare the way_of moral and civil desolation.” The family is the first institution and lies at the basis of all that is good in society and permanent in government. Here the first lessons of patriotism and morality are taugat and the first fruits of ail thatis good and pure are brought forth, nurtured and largely developed. Here the best pos- sibilities of social, national and religious life commence to unioid, and just to the degree that any people departs from the true idea and form of the family ties is that people noted for incivility and immorality. The home is the thermome- ter of the nation—the national never ris- ing above the home life. Talmage says: ‘When at last we come to calculate the forces that decide the destiny of nacions, it will be found that the migntiest and randest influence came from home.’ gpurgeon called home ‘the grandest of all institutions.” Dryden termed it ‘the sacred retuge of life.’ I think we are ready to conciude with the writer who says, ‘It is therefore within the family circle that the star of hope, of religion and civil rights is to be seen, and let it go down and all would be turned into the dismal darkness of midnight without moon or star to guide the weary pilgrim on his way.” This being true, we must regard with exceeding anxiety any indica- tions of degeneracy in our home life and guard with eternal vigilance the purity and sacredness of the family tie. “John Gray said ‘the hand that rocks the cradle rules the world.’ We are all very largely indebted to the influences thatciuster around our cradles for what- ever good there may be in our character polls on November next to cast our vote and condition. One in writing on the | for & true and loyal American, one who stands squarely upon the platform of true Aumericanism. “And when the ballots are counted throughout the length and breadth of our beloved country and the result announced that we have elected a fearless expounder ofour principles we tuen will look for- ward to the return of prosperity to our broad land. “To the accomplishment of this great result we must bend our energy, not ex- pecting that others will do our work for us, but each one remember that he has his duty to perform, that be forms a part of the great whole, and that so much of the whole remuins undone if he neglects his part. You cannot expect to reap a har- vest if you do not sow, so I ask each and all here to-day not to neglect their duty to their country. ““While at Sacramento I was frequently asked what were the principles of the A. P. A, and when I answered by saying, ‘Loyalty to true Americanism,’ [ was an- swered by tbe question, ‘Well, are not the Catholics loyal Americans?’ *‘[ was consirained to g@nswer no, for no man can be a loyal American and owe his first allegiance te the Pope of Rome. “*And to theanswer, ‘Ob, thatisnotso,’ I further answered, ‘A divided allegiance is worse than no allegiance.’ I further said that we were determined not to allow a foreign power to interfere and control the politics of our country. *‘We have no objection to the individual exercising his full rights, no matter what his religious convictions may be, but wedo object to his spiritual adviser controlling his political action. “*We further object to the sectarian use of moneys appropriated for the main- tenance of our public schools. “But I would nave it turther understood tbat we will maintain just as strenuously, that the rights to the Iree exercise of all the privileges guaranteed by the constitu- tion to every one, regardiess of birth- place, race, creed or party, is the first ‘fundamental principle of the A. P. A., and which we are in duty bound to carry out. “‘Let us therefore firmly resolve that we will always keep these cardinal points in view, and we may rest assured that we will e rewarded by the grateful praise of millions of our posterity yet to come. *“It hus been said, and justiy so, ‘that there never was a traitor to a bad cause, but many s one to a good cause.’ So you will find the bad strenuously adhering to a bad cavse. *“You cannot expect that the followers of Roman Catholicism can be so easily brought to a sense of their abject slavery, b-cause they have become accustomed to weuring the collar and would not feel com- fortable without it, but if once they do commence tc think and realize how pleas- “ant 1L is to be relieved of the burden, their stature becomes more erect and they ex- and out into ful! and magniticent man- «od, and when looking bsck they can hardiy realize how it was that they were - 80 biind. i 153 “Opportunity and contact in this life is all that make a man, therefore we owe muck to these iwo—that we are here to- day advocating the humanitarian princi- ples of tiie A. P. A., and we should look upon those who bave not been so fortu- nate as to have enjoyed those opportuni- tiesand the same contact more with pity thun with derision, 4 *In taking this view of the situation we may hopefully look forward that with the same opportunities and contact all those who have the capability to rise to a bigher standpoint will soon be with us.” Rev. Mr. Baker began by saying there were live points he intended to speak about—points invoiving the most pressing wants of the age, *‘Tte first to be consid- ered is man,” said the speaker. “I don’t exactly agree with Saxe when he says the proper study of mankind is man. One of the most pressing wants of the day is for men of penuine physical, mental and moral worth—men without whitewash, possessing unswerving personai purity. ““We hear much about evolution—scien- tists investigaiing where man came from and how be got here. Some have consid- erable curiosity about their origin. Itis of little consequence where we came from, buzi of great consequence what we are go- ing 1o do whilejuere. “I am more interested to know wiat you are here for and what you are going to do mother's influence has well said: ‘If she is in the best sense womanly—if she is true and tender, loving and heroic, patient and self-devoted, she consciously and uncon- sciously organizes and puts into opera- ticn a set of influences thatdo more to mold the destin{)or the nation than any man uncrowned by the power of eloquence can possibly effect.” The men of the na- tion are what their mothers make them asarule, and the voice that those men speak in the expression of power is the voice of the woman who bore and bred them. There can be no substitute for this. #'‘There is no other possible way in which tbe women of the Nation can organize their intluence and power that will teli so beneficially upon society and the Siate. I do not say that homelife is woman’s limit. Her ambition may trapscend its duties, and her talents and influence may reach far beyond its doors, yet I believe before everything else she should build up a true home from whose walis shall come iorth the trne woman and the true man, who shall together rule und bless the land. While 1 beliecve in woman’s rights and woman’s suffrage, and the use of woman’s ability to speak from the public platform, or the wisdom that commands the seat of the Judge's bench, and would freely grant unto her equal privileges with man, § believe no higher dignity nor greater honor can be given her than to reign the undisputed honored queen of the home. ““Mrs. Beecher says: ‘To be the guiding star, the ruling spirit, in such a position is higher honor tban to rule an empire.’ The power of a mother’s influence cannot be overestimated. First—Her influence begins early in life. Education begins in children long before they are responsible. It begins when they begin to see and feel and observe, and about all they see and feel and observe in infancy is ‘mother.’ If early impressions are elementary prin- ciples out of which mature life is organ- ized how profoundly important 1t is that those impressions are good and ennobling. Second—The mother’s influence isa living power, molding character and directing conduct. T believe that home is the most powerful school in the world, and that the mother's influence is mightier than ulpits and thrones. Napoleon said, ‘the }’uture good or bad conduct of a child de- nds entirely on the mother.” Third—Her influence makes permanent impressions upon the life of her children. ‘“Richbter said: ‘Every first thing con- tinues forever with the child; the first color, the first music, the first flower, paint the foreground of life. Every new edu- cator affects less than his predecessor, until at last, if we regard all life as an educational institute, a circumnavigator of the world is less influenced by all the nations he has seen than by his nurge.’ “Wesley’s mother was a holy woman, and she so impressed her children that Methodism, which has been a crown of glory to this old world, originated with one of her sons. Abraham Lincoln saia ‘All T am or can be I owe to my angel mother.” Truly mothers are the sculptors of the coming men and women. 1 believe that the mother is seen in her most sacred and dignified character in the home. Many of our noblest patriots, most holy ministers, most profound scholais spring from such homes, where they were stimu- lated to their excellence and usefulness by the holy principles taught by pious mothers. % “I'he mother is the divinely appointed teacher and guide of her chifdren. Lan- 5““6 cannot describe the power of her in- uence in moulding the character of others, the condition of families and destines of empires. Onh, that the mother realized the end for which every chiid is entrusted to her. I believe if every mother would acquaint herself with the high and holy responsibilities aevolved on lher and the blessed results which may througn her be made sure, we would have fewer men and women weakened and ruined by sin and estranged from the church.

DOBRELL'S PISTOL SCORE He Punches Ten Shots in a Three-Inch Circle at Fifty Yards. A DAY OF GOOD SHOOTING. German Ciubs Hold Monthly Medal and Bullseye Contests at Shell Mound. There was some remarkable rifle and ‘pistol shooting yesterday at the Shell Mound shooting-range. Nearly all of the shooting-stands were well fillea from early in the morning until late in the afternoon with fine rifle, military musket and pistol marksmen. Those who are not prejudiced against the nitro rifle powders have been obtaining excellent results with the new explosive. F. O. Young was the first to experiment with nitro, and his scores in- duced several others to take it up. Now half a dozen are using it, and they are in the lead. Years ago no good target-shot could be induced to shoot any but a muzzle-loading 5rlve 35, R.C. Dunbar 26, C. F. Greenlaw . Meyer 48, V. R. BII? 33, A. R. Vaughn 41, arsen 22, W. L. Holt40, N.W.

Eastern marksmen are beginning to make experiments with it, but there, as here, black powder is making a hard fight for supremacy. Yesterday at the Coiumbia Pistol and Rifle Club's rec- ord and medal shoot Youngand A.H. Pape used nitro in their record match, and made the first scores. In all matches in this club only the Columbia target is used. The contest for the Unfred aiamond medal yesterday, three shots, open to all comers, was indeed interesting, and many scores were shot. The hsghest was A. H. Pape with 11, H. H. Burfeind 14. D. W. McLaughlin 14, F. 0. Young 17. The other rifle scores of Columbias were as fol- lows: Ten-shot rifle record menal—A. H. Pape 59, E.

The count on the Columbia target, it will be remembered, starts from the one-inch center and exiends outward in half-inch cir- | cles. Wuen the center is punctured by a bullet the marker waves old glory. Dor- rell started out with two flags and wound ? his ten-shot record score with another. is score was 1, 1, 4, 3, 6, 3,4, 4, 3, 1—total 30. This shows that he bunched his ten shots within a three-inch circle. This score is likely to stand without an equal for many a dav and Dorrell was the proud- est man that left the range at sundown.

Robertscn’s ard Peyton’s Eastern Dogs Carried Off First, Third and Fiith Przes. Another big crowd of coursing men went to Ingleside Park yesterday to see the finish of the stake begun on opening day, and beyond afew decisions that failed to please the svectators the day passed off pleasantly. The management had profited by the experience of the previous Sunday, and a second poolbox helped to expedite selling and cashing pools. The day was prolific of surprises, and and the faces of the short-end players were wreathed in smiles, while the players of t he favorites tore up bunches of tickets on the wrong dog with great regularity. The biggest surprise of the day was Lau- relwood, who was put out in the original stake by Governor Markham. He ais- posed of such fast performers as Magpie, Skyball, Kirk Glen and Electric with seeming ease, and the talent dropped heavily on his opponents until they caugnt his true form and began to play him. St. Lawrence came hmping from the fieid after beating White Chief, an old break in one of bis wescri%;eiing him com- pletely. He went down before the fast and clever Royal Buck after a hard race in tiie third ties, in which he ran practically on three legs, his injury preventing his turning qnickl{)lo get back to his games Robertson & Peyton’s kennel of Eustern dogs carried off first, third and fifth prizes, apgregating $145. he unfinished stake was taken up at the second ties and resulted as follows: Diane beat Lady Fitzgerald, Master Glenkirk beat Flnnll%l;:, St. Lawrence beat White Chief, Royal Buc t Skyball, Lissak beat Sly Boy, Valley Maid beat Quern B. Third ties—Diana beat Lissak, Valley Maid beat Master Glenkirk, Royal Buck beat St. Law- rence. Royal Buck was withdrawn and Diana beat Valley Mrid, taking first prize, Valley Maid second and Royval Buck third. S&. Lawrence, Master Glenkirk and Lissak re- ceived fourth, fifth and sixth prizes res- pectively. A twenty-four do? consolation stake was then run, with the following resnit: Fear Not beat Camilla, Fireman beat Dottie Dimple, Electric beat Queen B, Little Tom beat Lady Fitzgerald, Livingston beat Great Scott, Kirk Glen beat Uncle Sam, Laurelwood beat Mugpie, Skyball beat Kiug Carlo, Magnet beat Kilty Scott, White Caief beut Tom Hayes, Spin- b: Boy, Eclipse a bye. iremen beat Fear Not, Electric Tom, Kirk Glen beat Livingsion, Laurelwood beat ~kyoall, Magnet beugvhlm Chief, Spinaway beat Eclipse.

HANDBALL CHAMPIONSHIP Great Match Game Between John Riordan and James Harlow, Riordan Winning. SPLENDID TEST OF ENDURANCE The San Francisco Court Crowded in Every Part by Admirers of the Sport. Riordan held the championship for sev- eral years, and during that time no player on the coast had the courage to attempt to wrest it from him. With the exception of John Jones, the Australian champion, Riordan was considered to be withouta peer, and when J. Harlow challenged him about a year ago to play for the champion- ship and $100 a side, banaball players gen- erally wereamazed when Riordan declined to cover Harlow’s deposit with THE CALL and forfeited the championship to Harlow. Since then Harlow has been reccgnized as the champion, but neither ;he mnor any one else felt satisfied that he shoula hold the title without playing forit. All efforts to get up a match between the two failed, but when Harlow defeated T. F. Bonnet three weeks ago for a trophy pre- sented by Phil Ryan, proprietor of the San Francisco court, Riordan pleased his friends and every lover of handball by challenging Harlow to play for the cham- pionship, the match to be the best of five games. The match was played in the San Fran- cisco court yesterday afternoon. The court was crowded with a critical audience, and although it was the general opinion that Riordan would prdove the victor, no one was courageous enough to lay money on the result. ; Shortly after 3 o’clock Riordan made his appearance in the alley and he was immediately followed by Harlow. It was evident that both bad trained well for the event. No two men could present a Riordan looked like a iraffe, with his long, thin legs and thin fioa,v, while Harlow, who is short and compactly built, had the appearance of a gladiator, George Hutchinson was the scorer and referee and he lost no time in starting the play. J. C. Nealon tossed up a dollar and Harlow made a wiong guess, so Riordan took the ball. The first game was a scorcher. Riordan started off with 14 consecutive aces, the first 7 being tossed without a chance for Harlow, and his friends were jubilant. Harlow kept up his usual record for splendid service and scored 14 before be- ing retired making the game equal. Rior- don followed with 3 aces and Harlow Riordon only made 1 and Harlow followed with 3; then Riordon scorea 2 and Harlow 1. Riordon had only 1to make to win and he did not disap- point bis friends, the game being won by tne score of 21—18. The second game was acknowledged to be the keenest contest ever seen in the court. It was essentially a test of endur- ance and skill between the two players, and at its conciusion Harlow seemed to have suffered the most. Twelve times each player had the op- portunity of serving, which shows the na- ture of the game. Riordan’s scores were 1,2,2,3,51,00,21,3, 1, and Harlow’s 1,50,3,0.1,0,3,1,0,6. They stood 20 t0 20, and the game seemed easy for Har- low, who had tossed a straight 6, but he fumbled the ball in returning and had to give place to Rio:dan. Riordan tossed a ball ana Harlow failed to catch it, but im- mediately protested that it was not over the ace-line. Hutchinson decided against him and Harlow appealed against his de- cision. It looked for a few minutes as if the match would end in a fizzle, but when Harlow saw that the feeling of the specta- tors was in lavor of the referee’s decision he gracefully withdrew his protest and tke second game was credited to Riordan, The ume wasted gave the players a chance to get their second wind, and Riordan started off on the third game kke a voung coit. He scored 6 aces before being retired, and Harlow was only able to make 1. Riordan added 6 more to his score and Harlow made 4; Riordan fol- lowed with 3, Harlow with 1, and then Riordan made 6 and out; winning the championship in three straight games amid the cheers of the spectators. It was a great match, and, although de- feated, Harlow proved that he is a stayer of the first water and a thorough expert at the game. He isa trifle weak in his left hand, but he is gradually overcoming that defect. Riordan’s victory was a popular one. At the Union court the attraction was a match between R. Drea and A. B. Beaton and Frank Larkin and H. Whitlow. Each team won two rubs, and the final will ve played next Sunday. 5 F)‘;xlowin: were the games played in the courts: San Francisco Court—Robert Shea and G.
