THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SATURDAY, MAY 30, 1896. Oh! who would stand where hostile weapons gleam, Where campfire glows, Or tread that misty bridge and destinies are cast, which spans the stream That sweeps between us and the tragic past: To see the glare of crimson on the sky, Or hear the woods resound cry? again with clam’rous battle- Would’st view once more the heaps of mangled flesh, Where rise the smothered moans of men in pain? Would’st see the wounds of martyrs bleed afresh, And red-mouthed trenches gaping for the slain; blackened grass? Where surpliced choir, Peer down the cannon’s The shivered saber and the crushed cuirass, The hoof-flailed grain, the riven earth, the powder- No! rather seek some consecrated court, with organ’s solemn note, Chant requiems for the dead; or boys in sport dark and rusty throat; Where scents of roses drench the summer air On ruined moat, and black and yellow tiger-lilies flare; Or find the rent redoubt, where ivy creeps O’er shattered shell and broken bayonet; Planting its leafy standard on the steeps, To win the grim, dismantled parapet; weary feet. Making a conquest none the less complete Than when the savage slope was pressed with wounded, N\ The past has left its heritage of hate To souls still grieving for the dead adored, But who would turn the dial-hand of Fate To cancel legacies so golden-stored; shield? Or rouse the ranks from fratricidal field, To place again the blot of bondage on a Nation’s SAM DAVIS. ooy SOUOUETS R HERDES AT REST, Memorial Tributes Which | San Francisco Will Render. BLOSSOMS AND MUSIC. —_— | Impressive Ceremonies to Take Place at the Presidio Cemefery. SUPERB MILITARY DISPLAY. The Main Procession in the City and Review on Van Ness Avenue. The idea of Memorial day which General John A. Logan had in mind when the sub- ject was first brought to the attention of Congress isin fair way of fulfilment. He believed that the time would come when all citizens, without regard to section, soclety or pursuit, would in time observe the day in paving tribute to the memory of the dead. Now it is the custom of many families, societies and organizations wholly outside of Grand Army circles to revere the holiday and to accept the occasion as one fitting for the bestowal of memorial tributes. This universal observance of the day is regarded with special favor by veterans of the Union army, and many express the hope that in time every State and com- raunity in the Union will honor the custom. In San Francisco to-day the League of the Cross Cadets will act as escort to the Grand Army, but the cadets will not for- get to decorate the graves of their own comrades. A solemn requiem Ligh mass will be celebrated this morning at St. Mary’s Cathedral, Van Ness avenue, for the repose of the souls of all deceased members of the League of the Cross Cadets. The celebrant at the mass will be Rev. P. C. Yorke. He will be assisted by the chaplains of the cadetjorganizations. Company B, First infantry Regiment of the National Guard, one of the most hon- ored military organizations of the State, will decorate the graves of comrades in the various cemeteries. One of the moust unique scenes ever witnessed in a synagogue will be pre- sented this evening in the Geary-sireet temnple of the Congregation Beth™ Israel, where Garfield and Lincoln posts, G. A. R., will assemble to participate in the memorial services to be held there. Rabbi M. 8. Levy will deliver the ora- tion, and a | musical programme has been :rrnnged. The decorations will be magnificent and fitting to the oc- casion. . All Grand Army men are specially in- vited to be present. and seats wiil be re- served for them, and the public generally is invited to attend. To-day respect will be paid to the memory of veteran firemen. Laurel Hill Cemetery is the resting place of 220 of Ean Francisco’s volunteer firemen. Fred Kohler, the first Chief, and David Scan- nell rest side by side. The graves of these v brave men and of many others will be strewn with flowers. The Memorial-day observance at the beautiful National Cemetery,;Presidio, will be exceedingly interesting ard impressive and will doubtless assemble a large con- course of spectators. The exercises at the cemetery will be conducted under the auspices of George H. Thomas Post No. 2, Grand Army of the Republic. The pro- cession will move from the Presidio at.10 | The cotumn of | o'clock A. ., sharp. troops will be ccmmanded by General William M. Graham, U. 8. A.

John Williams, a negro, was arrested on Thursday evening on Market street and charged with being insane. Yesterday morning when Judge Sanderson and the Commissioners of insanity went to Wil- liams’ cell to inquire 1nto his mentat con- dition the negro sprang upon Steward Bucher of the Receiving Hespital and made asavage slash at him with a knife that he had succeeded in concealing in his clothes. The blade cuta long slit in the steward”s coat. Deputy Sheriff Riley sprang upon the maniac and his coat also was badly slashed. It took the combined strength of eight men to overpower and disarm the | the; maniac. A little later Williams succeeded in breaking out of his straitjacket, and he was not overpowered without another severe -tmigle. He was sent to the asy- lum at Stockton. ——————— Can See the Books. Judge Belcher has affirmed the fine of $50 levied upon James Fisher by the Police Court for refusing to show the books of the Mutual Electric le:: Company to one of the stock- holders. Fisher is secretary of the co; . e the stockholder made a unu‘:‘ .:i- mand—he did not ask for any particular book, &0 he was given none.

The Hill May Be Pierced by a Tunnel to Increase the Supply. MORE BARRACK BUILDINGS. Quartermaster.General and Military Secretary of the War Depart- ment in the Fie'd. The visit of Brigadier-General R. N. Batchelder, quartermaster-general of the United States army, and Major George W. Davis, military secretary of Daniel 8. Lamont, Secretary of War, excites special interest in mulitary circles of this depart- ment. It transpires that Mr. Lamont ex- pected to make the tour agross the conti~ nent with General Batcbelder, and partici- pate in the inspection of military posts, | but pressing duties at Washington im. pelled him to forego the journey. He sent, however, his military secretary, Major Dayvis, to make careful observations of the condition of the leading military posts. Last Thursday General Batchelder and Major Davis, accompanied by Colonel A. 18. Kimball, chief quartermaster of the department, visited the Presidio, and made a careful inspection of the batteries, in- eluding the mortars, the dynamite guns, the 12-inch rifles and the 10-inch disa; pearing rifles. They also examined the stable site and the site of the fill on the marsh lving between the roadway to the wharf and the eastern boundary to the reservation. A cpecial study of the water plant was made. The officers visited Mountain Lake and Lobos Creek and considered the proj osition to tunnel the Presidio hill for the purpose’of developing an unlimited sup- ply of water for the post—a waIy equal to all the requirements of a very large gar- rison. A visit was paid to Alcatraz Island and re the prison, the barracks, the fortifi- cations and quarters were inspected, Angel Island was inspected and the pos- sibility of future improvement discussed. The quartermsster-general seemed de- lighted with the improvements made at the Presidio. He has authorized an ex- penditure out of the appropriation of the next fiscal year to build two more double- brick barrack buildings, at a cost not to exceed $75,000. The water supply question engrossed the attention of General Batchelder in a large degree. In the process of collecting data in tobis line he visited the artesian well and works at Golden. Gate Park and notea the luv‘ply of water there. Tie wrip of the visiting party was ex- tended to the Sutro baths, and the ma- chinery there was duly inspected for pur- poses ofinformation. The officers returned tothe City via Point Lobos and Twenty- fourth avenues and Lake street. They left their carriages at Twenty-fourth ave- ‘| San Fran nue and Lake street and walked to Lobos Creek, which they examined with & view of increasing theé water supply in case of necessity. The la; ar the Cliff purchased from £ for the purpose of complet- ing the harbor fortifications was also in- spected. ¥ Yesterday Genera] Forsyth, the depart- ment commander, Ky invitation of Irving M. Scott, escorted’ the visiting officers to the Union Iron Works. Great interest Wwas manifested in the battle-ship Oregon by General Batchelder and Major Davis. To-morrow a visit will be paid to Benicia barracks and Benicia arsenal. lhtmnlng the party will pause at Mare Island an view the naval station. General Forsyth will take the visitors on this trip. e ke o Sl CANTATA OF RUTH. Presented by Young People of Trinity Presbyterian Church. The Young People’s Society of Christian Endeavor of Trinity Présbyterian Church presented the cantata of Ruth, the Mo- abitess, at Mission Music Hall%last evening. The programme opened with the over- ture “Mirsella” from Gounod, by the orchestra under the leadership of F. P. Foster. . The cantata was presented in six scenes. Appropriate selections were rendered be- tween each of the scenes by the orchestra which were received with hearty rounds of applause. The cast was ag follows: : Naomi, Mi vate; , Miss Alice Pum?gec;hx'zflfi:te x‘i‘s::exgarnp.l?nbem; first reaper, William Smith; assistant reaper, C. B. Zabreskie; Boaz, Henry Ruthrauff; Jew- ish maiden, Mrs. N. E. Willats; Isrielitish woman, Miss Alice M. Mayhew; messenger, Frank Houpt, So successful was the cantata that the Trinity Presbyterian Christian Endeavor- ers are talking of presentinz it again for the benetit of the '97 convention fund. — GIALS PLAYL[]H CHARITY A Successful Concert Given by the Saturday Morning Orchestra. Several Soloists Help the Gooi Cause Along — A Fashionable Audience. The concert given last night in Golden Gate Hall by the Saturday Morning orchestra drew together a fashionable au- dience that quite filled the galleries and more than half filled the body of the hall. The object of the concert was the estab- lishment and mainfenance of & bed in the Children’s Hospital. The Saturday Morning orchestra has | had several changes of conductors during the last few years, but all last winter Al- fred Roncovieri wielded the baton and a good deal of steady work was accom- plished. As might be expected in an or- | ganization composed of young ladies brass | and wood performers are not so easy to procure as strings. The orchestra showed this very plainly last night. The ‘‘Semiramide” overture, for in- | stance, had almost the effect of a toy sym- | phony, but even if some of the brass were | | conspicuously lacking it was much better to have it so than to bring in incompetent | | players of wind instruments. | | . The brass and reeds were a little shaky | in their intonation here and there, but on | the whole the orchestra did exceedingly | well. Shading was not only attempted but was accomnlished, and if the precision here and there left something to be de- sired the playing showed that there are a | number of performers in the ranks of the | orchestra who have a strong sense of rhythm. The orchestral numbers of Ambroise | sThomns’ overture to *Raymonde,”’ the | “Danse des Sultanes” by Polak Daniels, the “‘Semiramide’ overture and the Men- delssohn “Wedding Marcis.”” -All these | selections were played in a manner which | elicited warm and well-deserved applause. | | Miss Charlotte Gruenhagen; the concert master, played the andante and allegro from De Beriot'sseventh concerto, and both | she and the orchestra gave such satisfac- | tion that an encore was insisted on, where- upon the young lady played *“I' Arragon- aise” by Alard. Antone Schott sang the “Erl King” | twice over and the audience not being sat- | isfied, -he gave Beethoven’s ‘‘Creations | Hymn,”” which suits bis dramatic vein better than the Schubert song. rs. Oliver Piercy Evans sang the adow Dayce” (from “Dinora’) and Handel’s *‘Sweet Bird'’ im her usual fin- ished siyle. In the latter selection Signor Lombardi played the flute obligato. The Misses Noble piayed a cornetand trom- bone duet, ‘“Repeat Again,” which their hearers insisted on having repeated. The following young ladies composed the orchestra: Miss Charlotte Gruenhagen, Miss Carolyn Knox, Miss Madeleine Beekhnsen, Miss Mabel Crabtree, Mrs. Adele Fletcher. Miss Annie Gibson, Miss Nanuie Van Wyck, Miss White, Miss Memie Conlin, Miss Edna’ Cadwalader, Miss Barbagelata, Miss Emma Duff, Miss Estelle Rouleau, Miss Barrington, Misa Beekhusen, Miss Pearl Noble, Miss Shep- man, Miss Alma Keith, Miss Maud Noble, Miss Blanche Rouleaw, Miss Lahl, Miss Annie Benson, Miss Eljery, Miss Mary Walker, Miss Phoebe Bowers, Miss Lulu Frazer, Miss Marie Dillon, Miss Ludlow, Mrs. L.

The Well-Known Writer Gives a Clever Address on Longfellow. SOME AMERICAN MUSIC HEARD Both the Speaker and the Musicians Win Warm Applause From a Large Audience. An evening with American poets and composers was given last night at Metro- politan Temple, under the auspices of the Balfe-Moore Club, the occasion being the known to men and women bound down with sorrows the goodness of God. ‘Man,’ he says, ‘has a right to joy if he rejoicesin good things,’ thereupon he set himself to sing of love without_stains, of faith and hope and heroism. It was no part of his philosophy that things visible and ‘audible could make the happiness of men. He would have them look higher than the stars and the sky. *‘In answer to the conflicts of . his coun- try, Longfellow said *faith.” In answer to the problems of his age, his answer was still faith. It is 1mpossible to over estimate the power of such teachings.” The speaker described how in his youth the poet had been despised and rejected by his contemporaries, how the term, “‘alite- rn? lapidary,” used by oneof his critics, had stuck to him for years, and how grad- ually his poems grew in popularity, tiil they reached the hearts of the English-speaking Dpeoples. Y *This man, who, in his youth, had been laughed at as a ‘literary lapidary,’ had come to be the best-ioved poet of his age.” | Mr. McNaught conciuded his address by | stating ‘“‘that men will never willingly s | forget the songs of the singer who sang | of faith in heaven amid the skepticism of | his time,” and he read “The Day Is Done.” There was frequent applause during the remarks on Longfellow, and at the conclusion the speaker was again very warmly applauded. ' The musical part of the programme was excellent. Messrs. A. Solomon (first violin), A. Savanah (second violin), A. Gwynn (viola) and Adolph Lada (’csllo) played an andante and idylie by Beyer and an allegro movement by Gottschalk in good style; David Manilovd sang with great applause; Adolph Lada played Raff’s *“Cavatina” as a ’cello solo with considerable expression; Mss Annie Roney’s singing was also appreciated; | Miss Frances Luse was recalled for her recitation; the Plymouth. Quartet sang *“The Bridge.” The rest of the pro- gramme, which was as follows, would cer- | tainly nave all been encored, but on ac- count of the lateness of the hour the (3 John McNaught, Who Addressed the Balfe-Moore Ciub Last Night. one hundred and sixteenth anniversary of the birth of Thomas Moore. There was a large audience which listened with great interest and applauded to both the musical | part of the programme and the address by John McNaught. | There might be doubt as to the genuine | Americanism of some of the ccmposers | represented on the programme. Raff ana | Gottschalk, for instance. could scarcely be | ciaimed ander that Lead, but there was no doubt about the poet of whom Mr. Mc- Naught lectured, for it was Longfellow. Mr. McNaught, who was introduced in a few appropriate remarks by the presiaent, T. R. Bahnerman, and was received with applause, began his address by bearing a high tribute, to Thomas Moore. ‘I es- teem it,” he said, “no light Lonor that I have been assigned a_part in celebrating the anniversary of Thomas Moore by a programme of American music ani song. "i{e has sung a new_sweetness into the hearts of all of us. When we recall how much of the music and poetry of our American life has come from him, we realize how much he has done for Amer- ica.” ‘The remarks on Longfellow were pre- faced by a humorous ailusion to the fact that while the Greeks gave a winged steed 10 the poet, they had provided no Pegasus for the critic, who has to get to the poet's height every time on foot, if he wants to see what he is doing there. “Longfellow’s life,”” said Mr. McNaught, “coincided with one of the great epochs of American liberty. It had to be deter- mined whether America should remain one great indivisible country or be split up into a number of factional States.” The speaker described in a stirring way how often poets and writers such as Lowell had been l?llll’ed on by the emer- gency of the occasion to plunge into jour- nnll;sm or politics, but of Longfeliow he said: “Through all the conflicts of that time he went on writing sweet, beautiful poems, comforting to the souls of men.” In- stancing some of the poems written dur- ins that stirring Period, the speaker al- luded to “The Village Blacksmith,” say- ing that in such stuff as was to be found in that little blacksmith’s shop at Cambridge the poel saw the true strength of the coun- t 3 Ty, . “We must not think that this holding aloof from party patriotism sprang from any indifferer.ce to the fate of this Republic. Longfellow always had its interests at heart,” and in support of this Mr. Mc- Naught t;uotsd from “The Building of the Ship™': Our hearts, our hopes, are all with thee, Our hearts, our hapes, our Prayers, our tears. “Looking back we can see how zight he was. The great army—the soldiers whose graves we are to decorate to-morrow—were all men of the village blacksmith type— ‘toiling. rejoicing, sorrowing.’”’ After alluding to Longfellow’s treatment of the problems of his age in relation to is own count-y, the speaker turned his attention to the relation his goe bears to the problems of thought and faith around him, “It wasan age of changes. Old-established temples of 1aith seemed to be crumbling into ruins. Carlyle could find nothlmn that age but sbams and shadows, falsehood and hypocrisies. Al- fred Tennyson, when he was cailed upon to solve theriddle, could only cry, ‘Behold; we know not anything.’. Through all the conflicts of that time Longlellow walked n“uronely as through the war troubles. ‘He was not inaitferent to the skepticisms @) 8 Wil (F audience was requested to refrain from prolonged applause: Bass solo, “lhe Village George V.
