He wiil, however, be simply a lieu- tenant for Daggeit, as he was du the convention. Very few of the country dele- gates obtained more than a speaking ac- quaintance with Mr. McNab. When they wanted to talk “business’’ they went to see Dazgett, who was actually the only man who could remain in his room at tue hotel and ‘“*send for men.” Charles Wesley Reed made an amusing | speech waen he denounced Daggett, [ though, as he says, he saved Maguire | from defeat. Those who have met Mr. | Reed know how much he desires to get | on in politics, and when he opens his eyes | to the true condition of affairs he wili be | repentant and apologetic. At the next | banquet that is to be given in honor of | that eminent ciiizen, statesman and yatriot, the Hon. John Daggett, 1t may be assumed that Mr. Reed will | be the first to arise in his place and pro- | vose the heaith of the distinguished guest | of the evening. ‘‘And, gentiemen, let the I bumper be drank standing,” he will add in his most strident tones. | One of the odd things done by the Sac- ramento convention wus to defeat the reso- iution offered by J. Marion Brooks of Los Ang expressing sympathy with Cuba. The resolution was as toliows: That we are in_sympathy with the iots in their efforts to establish a Tep and favor according to them the Tights of belligerents by the United States. John Daggett objected to the resolution on the ground that to adopt 1t would look Llike a criticism of President Cleveland, who has refused any kind of aid or com- fort to the Cuban patriots.

The Mint, of which | he is superintendent, he has used arbitra- | rily for the advancement of his own pol cal interests by the making appointments. The othe ments in this State are honeycombed w bis favorites. Notwithstanding dec tions of opp: in certain guarters a great many of his friends bave soft villets in the State's service. | Daggett has all the qualities of the | modern bos: he looks out for places for his followe and modern followers demand this as the tirst condition of disci- pleship. Daggett cool, ca patient, untiring, and he has th: ence that seems to be the grea iisite of the up-to-date political boss. In Sacramento he was seldom seen and never hesrd except in private. He made no speeches on the floor of the convention, | though he could have had a hundred proxies. Yet his influence was manifested in every ballot that was cast. He did not shout or rail in barrooms or hotel lobbies inning of the session Congre: e was the leading candidate | for delegate at large tothe National con- vention at Chicago. When the votes were | counted he was the lowest in the 1ist of the four successful competitors. Daggett oould bave defeated him if he had thought it worth while to do so. He can defeat Maguire for Congress, but probably will not throw his icfluence that wa Ma- guire is less in the way in W ton than in California. As a matter of fact a | man almost drops out of State politics the moment he goes to the National capital. | Among the Romans when an ambitious commander became troublesome st home it was the custom to give him a commis- | sion as a pro-consul and send him abroad | to rule some imperial colony, where, no | longer surrounded by his partisans and | adherents, his power and intiuence on the | central government became quickly min-| imized. That form of honorable banish- | ment greatly resembles the present method of disposing of rising politicians when they cannot be brought under the | yoke of the ruling spirit in the bome | circle. This may somewhat apply even to th case of Senator Stephen M. White. A few years ago White’s name was constantly on | the Democratic tongue. Now he is scarce- | ly heard of among the practical men of the party who conduct its councils and dominate its policy. But Stephen M White could not be a political boss in Ca! fornis. He is mot built right for that, which is not to his discredit. Likewise W. W. Foote has not the quah- fications fora boss. He cleariy showed this by his coarse in Sacramento. He is | entirely too frank, too impetuous. His | bitter little speech in announcing the vote | juestion of | © | of Alameda County oa the g sustaining the ruling of Tempora man Ruddock, saying that its vote ‘“‘in behalf of decenc many friends and gained him no new sup- port, But that is only one phase of h: character which disqualifies b ship. Mr., Foote has not the [ dole out party places to the hungry hordes of camp-followers that are known to all political organizati In a large, generous way he would go as far as any man to assist & friend to a good position, but he couid not endure the | drudgery of parceling out paltry jobs to | needy and persistent bangerson. Mr. | Foote has many charming traits. These | mostly militate agair his chances for achievements as a boss. On these he may be sincerely congratulated, though they bar him from success in politics. | With John Daggett it is different. He likes this kind of moil in the muck of the political morass and is content to He who was read out of the Democratic party by the Stockton convention was not discouraged. He waited until a Demo- cratic administration was entrenched at Washington and then demanded and se cured the chowcest plum of California’s National patronage despite the strenuous objections of California’s most eminent and most influential Democrats. Now his game is abous won, for he has practical control of the party machinery, and those politicians and journalists who do not like to serve under his banner will have the great American privilege of walking out. It is safe to prediet that Frank H. Gould will rise no higher in his party, nor will his future be so pleasant as has been his career forthe past four years. it is true that he has succeeded in obtaining tions in the Mint and in some State institutions for several of his relatives, | but that will be the extent of his political | larly before the convention was videred to | | lie on tue table by an overwhelniing vote.

ADDRESSES IN EULOGY. Past Masters Speak of Their Departed Lodge Mem- bers. DIED ON THE FIELD OF HONOR. San Francisco and Apolio Lodges Mourn the Loss of Many True and Tried Brothers. There was a solemn gathering in Odd Fellows' Hall yesterday afternoon. The Friday night lodges—that is, those whose meeting vight occurs on Friday—had as- sembled together to do honer to those of their members who during ti e past year had fallen 'neath the hand of the reaper. The extensive membership of the Odd Fellows’ lodges in this City made it im- practicable for all to unite in the services. The lodges represented yesterday were: San Francisco No. 3, Apollo No. 123, Ophir No. 171 and Sargent No. 363. These were assisted by the Patriarchs Militant Can- ton 8an Francisco No. 5, R. H. Duncan commander, and California No. 1, Oriental No. 90, Amity No. 161, Templar No. 19, Walhalla No. 130 and Loyal 215 of the Rebekah lodges. After an organ voluntary by H. M. Bos- worth, W. F. Norcross, president of the day, briefly stated the objects of the ser- vices. The audience then jommed in a hymn, followed by a prayer by Chaplain J.W. Perry. The Press Club quartet ren- dered “Rock of Age: after which W. F. Norcross read the ritual prescribed by the Grand Lodge for such occasions, and also a portion of an address delivered by Rev. John Venable, grand chapluin of the or- der, at the convocation held in Oregon last vear. The address was on the relation of 0Odd Fellowship to the church. It de- scribed the var ous functions of the two institutions, and deciared that they were in no wise antagonistic, but both had their es in the development of a Christian zation. The Press Ci guartet then rendered another seléction, after which the presi- dent delivered a eulogy on H. T. Dorrence and Wesley Minta, past grand representa- tives. He said 1n part It has falien to my t to speak briefly of two members, not members of any of the jodges here, but representatives to the Grand Sovereign Lodge. ¥ were well known to all 0dd Fellows aud their memories are dear. Brother Dorrence came early to California, and carly he became identitied with Odd-Fel- lowship. He was elected delegate 10 the Sov- ereign Grand Lodge. He was a member of Charity Lodge No. 6 of Stockion. His record was unblemished for high character and his memory will long linger in the minds of his brothers. Brother Wesley Minta was also a delegate to the Sovereign Graud Lodge: His name recalis leasant and eadearing recollections which lime caunot efface. James Linforth, past grand master of San Francisco Lodge No. 3, pronounced a eulogy upon Job Seaman, who died Octo- ber 13, 1895.

KNOPH'S PURSE. Lost Near the Cliff and Recovered by the Police. Mrs. E. M. Knoph of 232 San Carlos avenue was one of a number of people who sat on the beach near the Cliff House yesterday and watched the seals. A few moments after she arose and had started for the cars she missed her purse, contain- ing $49 35. She was noticed by several persons making & search, when some one told her that a man, who was pointed out to her, had picked up something from tbe sand near where she had peen seated. He was approached and asked if he had picked up a purse, but he refused to make any answer. He was, however, kept in sight as he got on the train, and at the terminus followed until Officer Harrison Moran was me! and the matter stated to him. He halted the man, who stated that his name was Charles Wise, and asked him for the purse. Wise made reply that he was fgoinz to take it to the office of the Chief of Police, but the officer compelled him to surrender it, and after examining its contents found that it tallied with the lady's description thereof, so he turned it over to her. ————— Scores of Quaker families in Southern Pennsylvania bave preserved the marriage certificates of their ancestors for many generations, signed —as 1s the Quaker custom—by all the guests at the ceremony. ————————— It is escimated that it takes two years for the water irom the Gulf of Mexico to prosperity.

Although he had handied more than one fortune, death found him, like soanany of the early comers to this land, of lit- tie wealth. He was an intelligent and faithful 0dd Fellow. He was genial and open-hearted. Every one spoke well of him, and it is doubtful if h¢ had an enemy iu tue world. He also spoke well of every one. He overlooked a fault to find & virtue. It is to be regretted that his frequent absence from San Francisco de- prived many of the younger membersof his acquainiance. n Stevens, also past master of San o Lodge No. 3, was the next He said: Ladies and gentlemen, brothers ana sisters: A snort distance from here in the piot of San Francisco Lodge No.3 is a marble slab on which are printed & lew words, merely the dates of the birth and the death of John Tur- lev. Butis this the whole of that man’s life? Does that alone tell the whole story? Thatit does not you sre brought here this afternoon to learn. He joined the Odd Feliows atthe age of 32, and until his death he was a consist- ent Odd Fellow. To many of you that may mean little, to Odd Fellows it means thai he ‘was true and generous; that he never neglected an oppos tunity to do & good act 19 a brother. This man of whom I speak was a good man. He gave unselfishly of bis own means. He led a life of honor and of purity. = 1 have been asked also to speak of Brother C.W. Ham. All that I have said of Brother Turley may 2lso be said of him. For fifty-two years he was & consistent 0dd Fellow. It isa beautiful ceremony that suggests that we meet here to-day in remembrance of these honored men. When the last grand reveille shall be sounded, when the bugle blast shall ring out on the for the last time and the recording angel shail call the names of these men for the last time, back shall come the answer sweetly, *‘Dead on the field of honor.” A. P. Black spoke in memory of C. H. Allison, A.J.Trask and Judge McAfee, also of Ban Francisco Lodge No. 3: It must by this time have become evident to you that San Francisco Lodge No. 3 has oft during the last year been invaded by death. I have been asked by the committee 10 speak of Brothers Allison, Trask and McAfee. Ido not remember 0 ever have seen any of these three men. It is a beautifnl object lesson of this society that the brothers, though absent, are still with us. We take care of our brethren. Though & man may be in the remotest sec- tion of the country, ne may be assured that his wants will be provided for. My inquiries have shown me that these three men were men of loity character, who were always will- ing to do their share. While not men who urged themselves forward, in their quiet sphere of life they were well known; they were beloved. That is the best compliment that can pessed on any man. Those who knew him most Joved him best. Hon. W. W. Morrow of Apollo Lodge No. 123 eulogizea 8. York Atlee and Charles C. Terril. He said: ‘What lesson death teaches those who have departed we know not, but we do know that death teaches a lesson to those who remain. The lesson taughi by those who have struggied through existence, is & lesson to those who come aiter. Odd Fellowship is an organiza- tiou that reaches out through the people, and it retains in its records the history of the masses. It is from the lives of such people we draw proper iustruction. To-day we meet o recount someth!ns of the character of those Who have departed during the past vear. When I entered Apollo Lodge twenty-three years ago there were men of strong character in that lodge. I was particuiarly impressed with the character of George Atiee. He was -Ppomed the first Postmaster of San Frau. cisco, but he did not accept it. He gerhapsdid not believe in the future of this S« Tam informed, however. it was because of sickness in his family. Twenty-two years later, how- ever, he did come to take charge of the New Age, the official orgau of 0dd Fellowship. He afterward went Fast, where he died, at 93 ears of age. He was a strong man then. It s worth while for us to stop and sdmire such men. There is another name I was requested to mention, abd I'do it with readiness, because I knew him well. I refer to Brother C. C. Ter- rill. 1 considered him one of our best citizens. He was s great man. He was atrue man. He formed his own views of what was right, and he vigorously maiutained them. As a mem- ber of the Legislature he was honored by the people of San Francisco for his ene; tegrity. He has left his mark in this City, he has leit it in the State. It would be well for the whole world if we had more such men as Brother Charies C. Terrii:. G. G. Burnett, a past master of Apollo Lodge, spoke feelingly of the life and death of George J. %Vheelock. whom he had known intimately. He also spoke in eulogy of J. F. A. Delicot and D. M. Rinertson.

He Was Janitor of Odd Fellows’ Hall Since Its Dedication. Notwithstanding a general annual 0dd Fellows’ memorial meeting was being held in the main (public) hall of Odd Fellows’ ‘building vesterday afternoon, and not- withstanding two other funeral cere- monies were being conducted in the same building at the same time, Memorial Hall was filied with brothers and patriarchs and other mourning friends of the late Henry C. Mansir, at 2 o'clock. Oriental Encampment d Templar Lodge, to which the deceased belonged in his life- time, were represented by an aggregate of nearly two hundred members, while others occupied the remaining seats, and many crow«ed round about the doors of Memorial Hall. C. W. Moulthrop occupied the noble grand’s chair, the grand treasurer of the encampment, George W. Lamont, took the station of chapiain, and a past chief patriarch of the encampment, acted ‘as marshal. A specially en- gaged choir, under Orgamist Suellock, sang appropriate hymns and psalms with great effect. The address was by C. A.

All of the Religious News of the Ranks Read by the Residents of Chinatown. The Salvation Army has begun to issue a Chinese edition of the War Cry, and the merchants buy it up like hot cakes and read every letter and hieroglyphic that it contains. This is what the lasses who sell the War Cry all over the Chinese quarter say, and any one who likes can confirm their state- ment by looking into the stores, where it is becoming no uncommon sight to behold the portly proprietors immersed in the study of a big sheet of printed Chinese, quite unintelligible to the average Ameri- can reader, but which is easily disun- guishable as the War Cry by a very big crown, surmounted by a very little cross, whigh adorns the title page. When the members of the army see the Chinese reading this literature they rejoice greatly, because aiter it has been read, marked, learnt and inwardly dizested they believe that many conversions will result. Itisonlv three weeks since Brigadier- General Keppel resolved to issue a Chi- nese War Cry. There had been noue be- fore in the history of the army, for that organization has not yet attempted to gain a foothold in China. A number of Sitlcutties lay in the way, the first and foremost being that “warcry’’ conveys such an idea of blood-curdling borror to the Chinese mind that no one would have bad courage to read a paper with such a name. It was absolutely necessary to in- vent a new name, so the mild and pleas- ing one of Salvation Army News was se- lected, and it has proved satisfactory to all parties. Among the converts are several literary Chinese, who were delighted at the idea of issuing the War Cry in their own lan- gunge. Yee Ling was made editor in chief, ecause he was very learned and felt equal to arranging and adapting the American War Cry to suit the needs of his own coun- trymen. Under his directions a_tasteful and siriking title-page was designed, which included pictures and mottoes in Chinese. The most conspicuous of the latter reads, when interpreted: **China for the Lord.” The amount of labor which Yee Ling has accomplished since he was promoted to the editor's chair is considered to be astonishing. He has four large blanket-like pages to fill with army mews. and when the Ameri- can version of the War Cry does not strike him as being saited to the tastes and spiritual needsof his fellow-countrymen he rearranges and adapts. In many cases he writes his own articles, and nearly all the local Chinatown army newsis of his own &:lhuing. Having composed his paper, Yee Ling engraves it ail on one stone, and, considering the smallness and fantastic shapes of the hieroglyphics, this is a tremendous undertaking. Chinese presses are used for the stone-engraving, and the firm to which they belong does the work at half cost, as it has been firmly impressed on the minds of the literar portion of Chinatown that the white magic contained in the Salvation Army News will have an uplifiing effect on the whole community. Editor Yee Ling is assisted to some ex- tent in his labors by Jo Kin, a poet who has already put a_whole book of hymns into Chinese. Jo Kin only contributes to the poet's corner, however. The current issue of the Army News contains ““There Is a Fountain” translatea into Chinese blank verse by him. Captain Jones, one of the hardest- working lasses in Chinatown, spoke very enthusiastically of her success in selling the Army News. “I Lave been out this morning and have done a thriving bus:ness,” she said. “The peogle who buy the News read it, too, and they never complain about what they find in'it. We give copies to all the Chinese in the Broadway Jail, and last night—the Lord be praised!—one man who had read the War Cry n prison and had only come out that afternoon was at our meeting. That was a beginning, and we believe that many conversions will come from our Army News.” —————— Inan old Indian mound near Cedarville Ohio, was recently found a stone image of a woman in a sitting position. The image is smoothly carved and well proportioned, and shows the female features very clearly.

TEN THOUSAND DOLLARS Delegations Are Arriving Here From All Over the Country. O'ROURKE WANTS SHARKEY, The Rev. Dr. Case Gives Some Ad- vice to the Members of the Civic Federation. Jim Groom, representing the National Athletic Club, and James J. Corbett, look- ing out for his own interests, spent three hours of their time yesterday afternoon counting the receipts up to date of the coming feur-round contest between the champion and Sharkey. The affair is not to take place until next Wednesday night, but the sale of seats has been on since last Monday morning. Dur- ing that time 3200 seats have been sold at an average of $4 each, or $12,800. This is unquestionably the heaviest sale in ad- vance of any one-night performance in this City. It must be considered also that the extreme possibility of its duration can only be fifteen minutes, while there is a likelihood of even this short space of time being cut down by a well-placed blow. The $2 seats in the eallery have not yet been placed on sale, and will not until the night of the tight, when they will be peddled out at the Pavilion box-office. Taking it for granted that only balf of the seating capacity will be sold, this will bring in an additional revenue of over | $3000, bringing the receipts up to about $16,000, half of which, win or lose, must go to James J. Corbett before he enters ihe Ting. l% is evident from this that there is something in the name of champion. On the other hand, Sharkey, the bold sailor lad, will get less money than Cor- bett, but he is being given an opportuuity ! 1o make a record for himseif that may be worth thousands of dollars to him, if he can make a gooa showing. Should he manage to remain in the con- test during the four rounds without being xnocked out his pay will amount to some- thing like $3000, and even if he is knocked out he will get nearly $i800, a rather hand- some amount for & man who has been working for Uncle Sam ior many years at the munificent salary of $20 a month. The interest in the coming contest is far from being purely local. The various press associations are already making ar- rangements for private wires to run from the Pavilion directly East to their re- spective papers. The Western Union, baving the only wire direct to the papers in this ecity, will not_be permitted to sell the news to the | poolrooms. Delegations from all over the East are arriving to witness the contest, and those people who cannot get here before Wednes- day are wiring on to secure seats. Yester- day the National Athletic Club received messages from Ogden, Portland, Denver, Tucson, Tacoma, Seattle and Spokane for seating places. In the meantime both Sharkey and Cor- beit have reached the *“pink of perfection.” In other words, they are now in as good condition as they may ever hope to get. They will continue with light work until ht so as not to get stale, and y they will beth take a well- deserved rest prior to the hard work they will have to face at night. Corbett and Professor Smith defeated James C. Nealon and Albert Hampton yesterday afternocn at bandball, and sub- sequently Corbett and Hampton defeated Professor Smith and Nealon. Tom O'Rourke, the manager of George Dixon, the colored lad who holds the world’s feather-weight championship, has wired from New York to Johnny Herget, better known as “Young Mitchell,” ask- ing him to arrange with Sharkey for a six- round go with Maher in the event of the sailor staying out the four rounds with Corbett. R “BEWARE OF THE DOG.” Topic of Rev. Dr. Case’s Prelude on the Sharkey-Corbatt Mill. Rev. Dr. Case’s prelude in Howard-street Methodist Church yesterday touched on the Sharkey-Corbett mill in the following style. The topic was, ‘‘Beware of the Dog™: “'The common warning, ‘Beware of the Dog,’ is intended for those who are putting themselves into places where they ought not to go. “The best plan to get away from the dog is to keep out of those places where the dog is and where we have no right to be. “The Civic Federatioa is not made up of alot of idiots; they are men of sense and discretion. The abettorsof the ring have no idea that the Civic Federation is fool- ish enough to accept their invitation to act as nm¥iru in a slugging match, even though softened down in name to & ‘spar- ring exhibition.” “Pugilism in all its forms is an unmiti- gated evil. There are necessary evils— things not desirable in themselves, but en- dured for the greatest good which may re- sult from them. But there is not one single redeeming quality in the fisticuff, of fistic culture, so called. Sparring is only the preparatory department of the baser pugilism. “The ghdialorill shows of ancient Rome appealed to the brutal instincts of men, as did the bull-fights of Spain. Prize- fights, dog-fights and cock-fights all ap- peal to the same low and brutal instine: It has been well said that the battie of the lies is the struggle between the brute and the angel in humanity. ““‘What was that great prize-fight in Jacksonville, Fla., two ago but a convention of brutes? It was called an athletic exhibition, bui as described by the reporters it was but little short of pandemnnium itself, “One writer, looking over the crowd, wrote to his paver that if Superintendent Byrnes’ detectives had been on hand with kodaks they could have made a new ‘rogues’ gallery.’ ‘“‘Another says that ‘even the Pinkertons were amazed at the herd of thugs, thieves, pickpockets and shsr:lp-.’ “‘A third says: ‘The crowd sat with open mouths and glaring eyes.’ “The champion brute is said to have stood over his victim ‘li lion over his };u.y’; and again, ‘his smile had murder n it.” And yet another said toey glared on each other ‘like two tigers.’ ~ Still another, impressed with the devilish aspect of the Scene, said that ‘at one time there was a hage roar of cheers and bitter brimstone curses,’ and of the fighters, that they were ‘gripped like boa constrictors, and later declares that the winning brute was like an ‘lnfi prthon,” while his an- tagonist ‘grin Iil writer declared that the beaten bully went down like ‘a slaughtered ox.’ “‘One writer h#s said that perhaps noth- ing more fully illustrates the infernal spirit of the whole affair than the state- ment of the fact that the pool of blood | which had oozed from the bruised and torn face of the beaten brute was all | sopped dry in a few moments by the hand- kerchiefs of the blood-thirsty and demon- possessed crowd, in their anxiety to have some memento of the horribie occasion. “No, gentlemen of the ring, the Civic| Federation is above your kind of business; | otherwise they would be infinitely below | their own. The papers announce one of the champions for participation in a ball | game on Sunday, the 28th. We may ex- pect next to hear that the Civic Federation | bas been invited to send a committee to decide whether he plays his game within thelimits of the law. But it will be of no use. The honorable gentlemen of the Federation lave long since learned to ‘Beware of the dog.””’ YACHTS IN THE WIND. The California Club Regatta for th. Wallace Trophy in Choppy Water.

At Alameda the Pacifics Meet and Defeat the Men of San Jose With Ease. The cricket contest between the cham- .pion Alameda team and the Bohemians played yesterday at Golden Gate excited considerable interest, as the unusually | large attendance of spectators attested. It | did not, however, prove so interesting an | event as was generally expected, for the Bohemians scored a most decisive victory by 76 runs and almost by an inning. This result was almost wholly due to the superb bowling by Billy Robvertson, captain of the Bohemians. A glance at the analysis given below will show what a great achievement this was. Going in first, the Bohemians, thanku] principally to Smith and Bowhill, com- | piled the by no means formidable score of | 69. Their opponents followed but could | do nothing against Robertson’s deadly | breakers and were finally dismissed for | half a century, Waurd alone attaining | double figures. | The day being still young the Bohemians | went in again. Reynolds, Robertson and | Martin all made creditable scores and the | side added 85 runs to their first inning’s | total. | With 104 to make and aboutan hourand | a half to do it in the visitors started their | second essay. This time pheir fall was | more rapia and beavy than ever. No one ever reached double figures and the whole team was disposed of for a miserable 23 runs, leaving the Bohemians easy con- | querors.

Deacon Morse’s new church, with the unfrocked Brown as pastor, is an assured institution. At the weekly prayer-meet- ing of the dissenting members of the old First Church, held at Golden Gate Hall Wednesday night, it was determined to maintain ‘‘regular preaching, Sunday- school,Christian Endeavor and Wedrnesday evening services under the direction of Rev. Charles O. Brown, D.D.” All this happened, however, after the regalar prayer-meeting exercises. There were exactly 110 people—twenty- two men and boys and eighty-eight women and children—in Golden Gate Hall Friday night wheu Dr. Brown announced the first hymn and Deacons Dexter Morse and Dewing and Secretary Christensen of the First Church were among the number. When all these formalities had been gone through with, Deacon Morse made & few remarks about the movement. He told his hearers that Goiden Gate Hail was an ideal spot for a church. Morse ended by giving a few figures on the cost of conducting a church in Golden Gate Hall and in keeping open tne doors of the First Congregational Church. He hoped that everybody would apvreciate the dif- ference and lend their support accord- ingly. Dr, Brown claimed that he had taken no part in the movement and was surprised at the turn affairs had taken. *I had all my things packed ready to be shipped East,” he said, “‘when my The to | friends got between me and the train, and here L am. I have never asked a person to attend tbese meetings [here Brown | appealed to those present] and if 1 stay | here ten years I never wili.” In this manner has Golden Gate Hall Church, with C. O. Brown as pastor, been launched. By private subscriptions and public contributions the feaders in the movement hope to keep the institution alive. After the regular meeting several Jadies met in an ante-room for the pur- ose of forming a choir. James Hamilton owe will be the leader, and he proposes to furnish ali kinds of music at a cost not to exceed $500 per annum. Dr. Brown preached two sermons yes- terday in Golden Gate Hall, his theme in the evening being “The Hour and the Man.” Miss Mattie Overman, who re- cently returned from the southern part of the State, was not present on either occa- sion. It is rumored that she has gone to Sacramento. ————— A Rarity Among Pensioners. The officials of tne Pension Burean at ‘Washington were so shocked a short time ago because Samue! Fetters, a prominent resident of t'razer, Pa., refused to accept the pension money sent him that they doubted the sanity of the man and sent sn agent to investigate his case, with the result that his name has been dropped from the rolls. His case was the second which bas been met with in the history of the department. Fetters, while in ‘the army, contracted a disease which for several years was thought to be chronic, and under that impression he received a liberal pension. Recently, however, he recovered and ordered the pension stopped, but the money still came. Then he sent the cash back, refusing to accept it, and the agent was sent to investigate printed LEA & PERR ‘“ONE YEAR BORROWS ANOTHER Y is now BLUE, diagonally 5 across the OUTSIDE wrapper of every bottle of The Original and Genuine WORCESTERSHI tection against all imitation }azcats for the United States: JOHN DUNCAN'’S SONS, N.
