THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, FRIDAY, MAY 22, 1896. I MEMORY OF BARON DE HIRSCH Highly Flattering Testimo- nials to a Charitable Man. HONORS PAID BY ALL. Elaborate Memorial Services Yesterday at B'nai B'rith Hall. A TRIBUTE TO PHILANTHROPY, Addressss by E. J. Wolfe, Edmond Tauszky and Father Yorke —Music and Prayer. An event long to be remembered with pride by residents of San Francisco is the memorial services %eld last night at B'nai B'rith Hall under the auspices of District Grand Lodge No. 4, I. 0. B. B., in honor of the late lamented philantropist, Baron Maurice de Hirsch The hall was filled to the doors with a vast crowd of ladies and gentlemen, Jews and Gentiles, gathered together in peace and amity and anxiousto do homage to the niemory of the illustrious dead, whose reputation for charity is as wide as the boundaries of civilization. At the rear of the stage upon a black background, bordered with white, was dis- played a life-size portrait of Baron de Hirsch, fittingly inseribed. In front and under this portrait sat the president and the orators. At thefront and in the cen- ter of the stage was the speaker’s stand covered with ferns and roses, while along each side of it and at convenient distances stood pots of lillies and palms. The front of the galleries was tastefully draped in black and white bunting. After an opening hymn, “Lord, Let Me Know My Term of Days,” by the choir, comprised of Miss Daisy Cohn, soprano, Miss J. Wilcox, contralto, A. Mesmer, tenor, J. C. Hugh basso, and E. J. Stark, barytone, President Edward I. Wolfe formally opened the exercises. We are met here to-night,” he =aid, “to give honor to whom honor is due. Jews and Gentiles, we are all prepared to sing the praises of the most magnificent char- acter of the age—Baron Maurice de Hirsch. His life and character are typical of the iples of the I. 0. B.

Dr. Fryer of Ohabal Shalome and the exercises were concluded with an organ postlude. —_— “THE LAST WORD” The Daly Company Produces Another Play From the German. The Daly Company evidently has a fondness for Franz von Schonthan’s plays, | fo'r another of his comedies, ‘“The Last | Word,”” was produced at the Baldwin Theater last nignt. It was performed here once or twice during the last engagement of the company and will probably linger longer in the Daly repertoire than “Countess Guckr” is likely to do, for “The Last Word” has a good deal to| recommend it, and the excellent perform- ance accorded it last night was listened to with keen appreciation by a large au- dience. The chief merit in the drama is that it chains Ada Renan to a sympathetic role. Her vart does not overbalance the others, however; there is some construction to the play and the dialogue, if a littie cheap in its wit, is of the kind that catches the popular ear. Ada Rehan in “The Last Word” plays the partofa fascinating Russian Baron- ess. Every playgoer must have observed that in modern drama female members of the Russian aristocracy are always phe- nomenally alluring and as arule they turn their power to nefarious ends. Baroness | Vera Baraneff isa good witch, however; she blesses the lovers, melts the stony- hearted parents and scatteis blessings, as well as captures hearts, wherever she goes. Ada Rehan wus, as might have been ex- pected, delightfully winning and effective | From the HALF A HUNDRED NEW DOCTORS, |Largest Class to Graduate Medical Department.

In the evening there wasa banquet at the Palace Hotel tendered the graduates by the Alumni Association of the Medical Department of the University of Cali- fornia, with the co-operation of the fac- ulty. Plates were set for about 100, in- cluding about a dozen ladies. Dr. John M. Williamson, the Board of Health, presided, and the toasts were in partas follows: Univer- sity of California, Professor W.

There were tears in not a iew eyes auring her scene with the Roman | father, when she softened his sternness | by teiling him the story of her little brother’s death. 1t would have been a commonplace, perbaps even a tedious re- cital, in the mouth oi an every-day actress, but Rehan treated it magnificently. Her broken English was another feature | of her playing. Actors are so terribly prone to make a jarzon spasmodic, over- doing it at one moment and forgetting it at another, but the broken English of Baroness Baraneff was consistent and | musical throughout. | The all-round casts was an excellent one. George Ciarke played the part of the stern father to the life, Charles Richman was nstural and convincing as his son; Hobart Bosworth made a finished character study of the small partof Moses Mossap. Edwin Varley was a sympathetic old music professor, even though he did sing the bit of march from an opera he was supposed to have | composed most cruelly out of tune. Miss | Helena Nelson, who played the ingenue in “‘Countess Gucki,’”” again distinguished herself as Winny Rutherell, the professor’s daufmer. ‘The Last Word" will be repeated to- night, | FROM INTERIGR CHINA Dr. C.

Dr. Nieto prayed that the men- tion, by the speakers, of the many good deeds of Baron de Hirsch might be taken as an example by all who heard them. He W liowed by the principal orator of the evening, Edmund Taus: wi of | **While this busy world goes on inits | bumirum way,’” said Mr. Tauszky, ‘‘an t oceurs which toucnes ail humaniy, we pause in our daily vocations vy to contemplate it. 8o it is in :ath of Baron de Hirsch, whom we have assembled here to honor. We may now recall his many benefactions to man- kind, his lofty aims and his almost unpar- eled generosity, He was in every sense f the word one of the chosen of God and a itizen of the world. The confines of his native Bavaria offered too limited a field for his capabilities and opportunities. His travels took bim into many lands, which he visited, not to survev the sumptuous- ness of temples, not to make accurate measurements of the rewmains of ancient grandeur, nor to form a scale of the curi- osity of modern art; not to collect medals or co!late manuscripts, but to dive into the depth of dungeons, to plunge into the 1nfection of hospitals, to survey the homes of sorrow and pain, to take the gauge and dimensions of misery, depression and con- tempt, to remember the forgotten, to at- tend the neglected, to visit the forsaken and to compare and collate the distresses of all men. His plan was as full of genius as it was of humanity. It was a voyage of discovery—a circumnavigation of charity— and already the benefit of his labor is felt more or less in every country. “His fabulous fortune was amassed mainly by his pluck and perseverance, but his was not a soul to be content with the mere possession and selfish use of illimita- ble wealth, whick he looked upon as a sa- cred trust to be employea by him in the vetterment of mankind, and no other man ever devoted so large a share of his posses- sions to the good of the world. “Baron de Hirsch knew the injustice under which the people of our race suffered in Russia and other countries and he did all in his power to alleviate their con- dition. He atone time offered the Kussian Government $10,000,000 for public instruc- tion, upon the sole condition that in the uge of the fund no distinction should be made as to race or religion. He trans- ported -an entire community of Jews | in ia across Europe to the western hemisphere. He purchased land for thou- sands in the Argentine Republic and founded eolonies there, spending in this enterprise alone from $20,000,000 to $25,- | 000,000. He established training schools, and many institutions in Egypt, Turkey and Asia Minor bear his name as their benefactor. In New York City he created a fund of some $2,500,000 in aid of Russian refugzees. “While the chief concern of Baron de Hirsch was for ourrace, his philanthropy was not_bounded by racial or religious lines. In him_the Jew of all countries loses a friend and benefactor and the civil- ized world mourns with him.” Father P. C. Yorke, in the course of an eloquent address, said: “Baron de Hirsch had a heart and he loved his fel- Jow men. He was the f{riend alike of Jew and Gentile, yet he never lacked the backbone to stand up for the people of Lis own blood. The Jews and Irish have both been persesuted for ! race and their faith, but after having gone through great tribulations they have come out pure and unscathed. Of the three virtues, faith, hope and charity, it has been truly said that the greatest is eve The Rey. Dr. C. W. Price and Mrs. Price of Iowa, for seven years past missionaries of the American Board of the Congrega- ional Church in the strange province of Shansi, China, are at the Occidental. They are going home because of the poor health of their son, and are uncertain whether they will return. Their mission work has been at a point three days’ travel from Tai Yuen Fu, the capital of the province. It is a town of some 20,000 people. The province itself has about 5,100,000 people, so Mr. Price says. “The capital lies in a plain, called the Tai Yuen Fu,” said he, *‘and to get there one is obliged to cross over a range of mountains. Every spot ten feet square of these mountains that is fertile is culti- vated. “‘The valley is rich and produces very fine wheat, oats, buckwheat and a kind of millet, which the nat use a great deal for food. These products are erown by irrigation. The valley is very beautifui, except that it has very few trees, and what are there heve been set out. “The China Inland Missionary Society has a good many missionaries there, and we are beginning to have neighbors now. One of these missions is fifteen miles away and another but fifty. “The natives seem to be taking to the Christian religion. We are encour- aged by our success, We have had a house- ful of interested people every preaching day for a good while. One bad thing is the general use of ovium. There is more used there than in any other province, and the effects are extremely hurtful. ‘‘Among the wild animals, which luck- ily are not very plentiful, are leopards, panthers and wolves, Wolves attacked a man not long since and he was treated by Dr. Atwood, a missionary there. There was a man also, not far from us, who was killed by a leopard.” Dr. and Mrs. Price had a rather rough voyage over and were guite unwe!l on the trip. Lhey will start East on Monday. GABCINS DOUBLE LIFE, A Deputy Marshal Who Has Two Wives and Families Living. He Is Arrested For Failure to Provide For His First Wife and Her Children. Fred Garcia, Deputy Marshal at Sausa- lito,was arrested Wednesday by Officer Mc- Murray of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children on a warrant charg- ing him with failure to provide. municipal campaign in Sausalito. He has been Jiving there with a wife and one have been living in this City. Neither of the wives will swear to a complaint charg- ing him with bigamy, and in that respect he is lucky. The complaining witness against him on the charge of failure to provide is Mrs. Dora Bell ot 951 Mission street. The first Mrs. pretty girl 14 vears of age, have been living with Mrs. Bell and the mother has for the past three or four years been supporting the children the best way she could. Officer McMurray said yesterday that while Garcia had a ranch a young girl who lived on an adjoining ranch used to fre- quently visit Garcia’s house and his wife atnights. The result was that Garcia and years ago. ’ The deserted wife came to the City with her children and could not find any trace of Garcia till the expose came outabout him during the election campaign at Sausalito. She went to him and promised for the sake of her children not to molest him if he would agree to give her $15 or $20 per month for the support of herself charity.” Addresses were also delivered by the Rev. and them. He gave her $10, but since then he has entirely ignored her. Garcia’s matrimonial experiences were | prominently mentioned during the racent | child end another wife and five children | Garcia and her five cniidren, the oldest a | used 10 ask him to accompany her home | the young girl disappeared three or four | The commencement exercises of the Medical Department of the University of California were held yesterday at the Baldwin Theater in the presence of an audience that taxed even the gallery. As a showman would say, “They turped away money.”” The regular Baldwin force of ushers, under command of Dr. d’Ancona, the distinguished hypnotist and physiolo- gist, officiated, and the theater orchestra | enlivened the proceedings with some of its choicest morceaux d’opera. Dr. R. Beverly Cole, who for over a gen- eration has presided over these exercises, hastened home from the convention of the American Medical Association at Atlanta, Ga., to perform his customary annual du- ties, and the Rev. W. W. Bolton, the pic- turesque pastor of the late Frank Pix- ley’s church of Mary the Virgin, sanctified the function with prayer and benediction. The valedictory address on behaif of the | faculty, the great event of the year in col- lege and medical circles, was delivered by Associate Professor George Franklin Shiels, and was a pithy and forcible dis- | course. Passing by the giant strides which | the profession has been making toward the | conquest of disease and those “‘pesky little | critters,” the microbes and bacteria, he | dwelt more at length on the struggles and triumphs of the Medical Department, the new Affiliated Colleges of Medicine, Law, | Dentistry and Pharmacy, and the varied benefits expected to foliow the improved | facilities forinstruction. A feeling tribute | was paid to the founder of the coliege, Dr. | H. H. Toland, and when he referred to the | long services of the illustrious president of | the faculty, Dr. Cole, who for forty-four | years has stood at the forefront both as izen and physician, the audience testi- fied its approval by long-continued ap- | plause. | For the past year Dr. Cole has been president of the American Medical Asso- | ciation, and as such justly considered the head of the profession. He isalso, in all probability, the oldest instructor in the medical colleges of the United States and has filled every position in those institu- | tions, from demonstrator of anatomy in Jefferson Medical College, Philadelphia, | his alma mater, on graduating, to head | of the M. D. U. C, sion and the more proionged course of study pursued of the Medical Department, and closed with some sage and practical advice regarding their conduct as physi- cians. It has been said by some attendants at | medical conventions that the doctors were lacking in the graces of oratory, but had those critics been present at these exercises | they would be forced to admit that the speeches were delivered with ‘‘excellent accent and discretion.”” The class just graduated numbered forty- nine, the largest in the history of the in- stitution, including seven ladies, showing that the advanced female has not over- looked medicine. The class is considered strong, not only numerically but inteilect- ually, containing 2 very large' preponder- ance of bright young men and women, who have been ‘especially distingunished for application to their studies and good order at lectures. Even the Wednesday night ‘“‘quizzes,” which previously were not always characterized by Chesterfield- ian deportment, were last vear such as to call for the warmest commendation of Dr. McNutt, author of that standard medica work, “The Kidney and Bladder.”” And Dr. Campbell Ford heartily concurs. Take it for all in all the class of 1896 was a great one and will long be remembered by the residents of Stockton and Chestnut | streets. As Teddy Schultz, who has known every class since the foundation of the college, remarked: *“'Twas a great class; I say, a great class,” ; The names of the young medicos are as { follow: | _ Clifford Emmet Allen, Helen Orestella An- | derson, Cecil Miller Armistead, Henry Martin Beck, Ph.G., Sanford Blum, A.B., Mary Eliz abeth Botsford, George Anthony Broughton, William Parker Burnham, Howard MeDougall Cameron, William D’Arcy Chace, Leonard | Hayes Coe, Thomas Francls Cox, Alfred Mc- | Laughlin, Alfred Newman, A.B., Mary Louisa Noble, Louise Augusta Oldenbourg, Robert Harris Orr, John Henry O'Brien, John Thomas O'Brien, William Henry Ingram O'Malley, Georgé Louis Painter, P | Waliace Ernest Parkman, Victor E gene Putnam, Joseph ° Rochex, At tilio Henry Giannini, A.B., Joseph Thomas Harrigan, Ichitaro Katsuki, James Frederic Kearney, Wilfred Harvey Kellogg, Ph.c tiur Stanley Lee, Thomas Davis Maher, B.Sc.

Several Attachments Placed on His Store—His Second Estab- { lishment. The creditors of William Norman, who | for several years past has conducted a bi- | cycle agency at 326 end 328 McAllister street, are anxiously inquiring his where- | abouts, and to secure themselves against | possible loss have placed attachments ag- | | gregating several hundred dollars on his establishment. Norman came here from England some | vears ago and rented a small place on Me- | Allister street, where he did a limited renting and repairing business. Gradu- ally he increased the scope of his enter- prise until he carried a heavy stock of | wheels, which are said to have been ob- | | tained on credit from Eastern firms. It is also said that he maintained a sec- ond establishment on Brannan street, where he sent the larger portion of the | bicycles obtained on credit, disposing of them for whatever price he could obtain, and failed to make remittances to the trusting Eastern manufac turers. Dr. Shiels also laid stress on _the higher | standard of education required for admis- | tewart, Mack | On Monday last a creditor who desired to collect a claim against Norman called | at the agency and was 1nformea that he | had gone away on & visit to his family. He | | made inquiries and found that Norman | had given out that his wife and children | | had gone to Los Angeles. Thinking perhaps that the missing dealer had gone there and did not intend to return, an attachment was sued out | and the Sheriff's lock placed on the door. | The stock that remained in the store | was insignificant, however, compared with | the liabilities of the agent and it is thought that the cyeditors will get little, | The attachments that have already been | placed on Norman’s place aggregate $864, | of which $724 is claimed by Houghson & | Merton, manufacturers’ agents, and $140 by a collection agency representing other creditors. It is thought that other claims aggregating several thousand dollars will be filed soon. SPAIRKLIG 15 COSTLY \ fThe Merchants’ Association Fig- i ures Declared to Be Er- | Toneous. | Expert George W. Elder of the Board ‘ of Supervisors Draws Some | Comparisons, | The protest®filed with the Board of Su- pervisors by several hundred citizens who | oppose the plan of the Merchants’ Asso- | ciation to have the business streets of the | City sprinkled at the public expense has | | aroused the Street Committee of the board | | to investigate the matter to ascertain if it | | would be of public benefit and if the | figures submitted by the association are | | correct. | | George W. Elder, the expert of the com- | mittee, has been at work on the maiter | | | | | | for several days past, and he submitted his report at yester day’s meeting. In the main it was as follows: Their estimated cost of sprinkling Market street from Second to Seventh streets by pub- lic contract is $28 50 per week. In order to | exemplify this particular item of supposed cost of this sprinkling to be done by public | contract, I bhave examined into the cost of | sprinkling Van Ness avenue at the present time, which the City is paying for at the fol- lowing prices, to wi e st of sprinkling Van Nees avenue, $49 per week. The ground covered daily by the water carts at present includes the macadam blocks which | yet remain unpaved, where the watering is done as much for the preservation of the pave- ment as for allaying the dust. The lineal feet covered daily and the amount of water used are as follows: Lineal feet, 2470; water, 25 loads or 2000 cubic feet of water at 14 Cents per 100 feet, amounting to, per day, $280." One double team per day, $4 20. Total for one day, $7. Total for one week, $49. | This is what the City is paying at tho present time for sprinkling Van Neéss venue, and it s to be a fair average paid for street | sprinking. it scems only fair to compare this rate, pro- port:onally, to Market street, although Iam | reliably informed that it would require more | water for the same area on Market street, | owing to the difierent class of pavement. | | However, I wish to make & fair comparison of the two streets, in order that ‘he committee may compare the cost fairly and impartially. Market street, from Second to Seventh, owlgfi | to broad crossings and intersections, is 4700 | lineal feet. In order to cover this amount of ground, being nearly double the amount of ground o be covered on Van Ness avenue, it would require two carts instead of one, and | there would be more wear and tear on a cart | used on Market street than on Van Ness ave- nue. Therefore, at the least calculation, the carts would cost £5 per day each, or $10 per day for two carts. The amount of water used would amount to $5 60, or total cost of one day $15 60; total cost for one week, $109 20, P, your committee can readily see that there must be some mistake in the estimate submitted to your honorable committee by the Merchants’ Association as to the cost of slyrh\k- ling Market street. These estimmtes I have made_from reliable information, and only submit them for information as to What might be the future cost, should the City assume to sprinkle these streets by public contract. Sprinkling Market street at the same cost as isnow paid for Van Ness avenue would be almost four times as much s tke estimate of the Merchants' Association, their estimate being $28 50 per week; the cost would be at the price now paid by the City for sprinkling Van Ness avenue $109 20, which would be $80 70 per week more than the estimate sub- mitted to you by the Merchants’ Association. Thus, it would follow that the taxation for street sprinkling would be, instead of 3 7 | thoroughly has every detail of the circuit TOURING FROM OCEAN TO' OCEAN, Jaunt of General Passenger Agent George H. Daniels. HE INDULGES IN A FAD. His Movements for the Entire Trip Governed by a Printed Schedule. WROTE A NOTABLE TREATISE. Points Given to Aspirants for Success in the Passenger Depart. ment. George H. Daniels, who left here for Portland in his special car on Tuesday evening, is not only the “king pin’' in the United States among gereral passenger agents, but the model official of that rank in the eyes of the railroad men connected with the passenger department.

At the present time he is engaged in what he calls a *“tour from ocean to ocean,” purely on pleasure bent, and with him are his wife and daughter, Mrs. L. P. Wilber, Mr. and Mrs. L. B. Hamlin, Miss Maud Hamlin, Miss Helen M. Tompkins and Ralph 8. Tompkins. Mr. Daniels is a great stickler for details and promptness, and sets a good example to all his subordinates, even when away on a trip of the present character. So he is to cover been prearranged that he can be communicated with from his New York office any day with the absolute certainty of being reached. He left New York with his private car attached to train No. 15 of the New York Central on Friday, May B, at1p. M., and will arrive home on the 7th prox. at 8:45 r. M. Before de})arting he had a four- page cardboard folder printed and dis- wributed among those who might have oc- casion to communicate with him. This set out the roads and trains by which ne would move and the date and hour that he would be at not less than 100 im- portant points during his thirty days’ Jjaunt. 2 He came West via the New York Cen- tral, Micbigan Central, Chicago and North- western, Union Paciftic, Denver and Rio Grande, Rio Grande Western and Central Pacific. From San Francisco he departed on the Southern Pacific line for Portland. Thence he will make the trip up the Co- lumbia by boat to The Dalles, and return via the Oregon Railway and Navigation Company’s line. He will proceed to the Sound via the Northern Pacific and then East via the latter road, the Chicago, Mil- waukee add St. Paul, Michigan Central and New York Ceuntral, and will cover in all something over 10,000 miles.

On this point Mr. Daniels says, though evidently without malice prepense toward Collis P. Huntington, “‘the opinion of the public regarding transportation lines is generally formed according to the dealings with the representatives of such lines.” In concluding his article a somewhat rude shock is given to the conceptions of the average passenger agent. He writes: “It pays to be honest in connection with railroad work, as in any other, and an agent who is conscientious and honest in his statements, energetic, polite and affa- ble, and who thoroughly understands his duties, will make an ideal representative.’” FONDS FOR THAT RESTA, Colonel Andrews’ Scheme for Raising $125,000 Without Begging. Seven Citizens Appointed to Choose the Carnival Executive Committee. A happy and feasible scheme for raising ample funds for the San Francisco Carni- val was suggested last night by Colonel Andrews at the meeting of the general committee, held in the Baldwin Hotel. The idea is this: Have 125,000 souvenir carnival medals struck off and sold in ad- vance at a dollar each, the medal in itself entitling the wearer to a seat during the entire six days of the carnival. Colonel Andrews says suitable medals could be made at a rate of 5 cents each, | and in such a way that they conld not be counterfeited. : The forty-five representative citizens present received his suggestion with en- thusiastic approval and declared it to be the best idea they had yet heard. It would avoid subscription lists and syvstematic begging for funds. As tribunes are to be erected along many of the principal strests where the features of the carnival will be presented seats will certainly be in demand, and it is thought that little difficuity will be found in disposing of the souvenir medals. Banks, mercantile houses and other busi- ness concerns may, itis believed, be relied upon to buy 100 medals each. As the committee has been counting on devoting $100,000 1o the carnival this new scheme seems to provide for funds enough to erect plenty of seats and still have over the re- quired amount. The only other business before the meet- ing was the appointment of a committee of seven whose duty it shall be to submit at the regular meeting next Tuesday the names of twenty-five men best calculated to represent all interests and be the ex- ecutive committee of the carnival, practi- c;nu per year on elchd$100 \'-;m.unnl, lln;o-l. 12 cents per year, and on $1000 valuation, instead o?’w,{t would be $12. cally the directors of a!l the preparations for the great event.
