PICNIC AT SAN RAFAEL Summer Girls Clad in Light and Airy Garb Much in Evidence. THE UNIFORMS MADE A HIT. Four Hundred Republican Sta'warts and Their Lady Friends Enjoy a Baoner Ou'ing. The Lincoln Club, which is composed mainly of the young Republicans of the Second Ward, held its annual picnic vesterday at Schuetzen Park. Ibe club, which is one of the oldest in the City, having exisced for many years as the Mor- row Republican Club, has at present a membership of about 275, at least half of which number turned out in uniform at the ratification parade held a week ago. The following are the officers of the club: President, Henry S, Martin; vice-presidents, Charles Heinz, Adoiph Wolf; financial secre- tary, Thomas Mullins ; recording secretary, Ed G. Kendal; treasurer, Louis Rae Jr. Executive committee—Alex Campbell Jr., Fred Jones, n- Eilich, H. Hansen, John Gleason, Jr. Investigation committee—Joseph Barbetts, chairman; M. Bushaway, H. Ostheimer, Danegri. Nearly 400 attended vesterday’s picnic and enjoyed the beautiful balmy air that is peculiar to a June day in Marin. The cious summer fiirl. unusually charm- ing in shirt waist and straw hat was much in evidence. The picnickers scattered about the grounds, enjoyed the shade of the oaks on the hillside or stretched out luxuriously on the grass. The games, whicn were to have been held, were cailed off, but a tug-of-war was held between the Lincoln Club team, cap- tained by J. Ellich, and the North End team. with P. Riley as captain and M. Mec- | Gowan anchorman. The 300 pounds of anchorman, Heary Martin of the Lincolns, | decided the contest in favor of the latter club. In the afternoon a spirited contest took place in the bowling-alley between two expert bowlers of the club, M. Busaway and H. Jurrs. The two have frequently come together in contests at knocking down the pins and are pretty evenly matched. The contest was finally decided yesterday in favor of Bushway, who came off victor with a score of 207 as against Jurrs' 183 Dancing was continued during the day in the pavilion, where over a hundred couples “tripped the light fantastic.” The eaze of all onlookers was centered on Jack Gleason, who led dance after dance with Miss Alfreits, a wonderfully vivacious and “summery” blonde. Also prominent among the dancers were: Mr. and Mrs. Chanler, Mr. and Mrs. Gra- ham, Mr. and Mrs. ¥. L. Jones, Mr. and Mrs. Bushwell and Mr. and Mrs. Cooper. Several gate prizes were offered and the winners will be announced at the ball which the club intends giving in about three weeks. At the same time the win- ner of the $100 prize in the guessing con- test that bas recently been held will also be announced. The prize was offered to any young lady who could guess the original of a picture on the aunouncement card of the picnie. Quite a number of political celebrities ¢f the Fourty-fourth District were conspicu- ous at yesterday’s outing. Among them were ex-Assemblyman Zocchi of the Forty- fourth, who is a candidate for State Sena- tor, G. Valero and Jack Gleason, also can- didates for the Senatorship, J. Bacigalupi, the County Committeeman of the district, Fred Jones, Tom Moran, Charlie Cooper, Johnny Wessel and Tom Graham. Alithough the crowd at the picnic was not so large as had been expected, never- theless the outing was successful and very enjoyable, thanks to the efforts of the fol- lowing, who nhad the matter 1n charge: Committee of arrangements—John Gleason chairman; Charles Cooper, Adolph Wollf, Casamajou; floor manager, John Wissell; as- sistant floor manager, Frank Bollinger; floor commitiee—Antoni Schoembs, William Golly, Wiiliam Corcoran, Frank Wilson, C.

The Presence of Mind of Two Men ‘Saved a Young Woman From a Terrible Death, A balloon high up in the air, with a parachute and trapeze-bar dangling from it, but noone on the bar, was witnessed | by thousands of people a quarter before 5 vesteraay afternoon. As the sphere rose higher ana higher and floated eastward the impression was that Miss Essie Viola, who had been billed o ascend from the Haight-street grounds, had met with an accident or had been dashed to pieces. | True, there was an accident, but the young woman who has soared toward the clouds more than sixty times was unin- jured through the presence of mind of those who stood alongside of her at the time the balloon was released. By their action she was undoubtedly saved from a borrible death by fire, ‘When the sphere was filied to its capa- city the word was given to the man on the inside. He was required to place a large wooden cover on the top of the cyl- inder to shut out the flame that arises from the mass of unconsumed oilin the bot~ tom of the furnace. Yesterday there was some mistake to that part of the work. When the balloon bad been filled Miss Viola, attired in a neat bloomer suit of the hnfqy pattern, accompanied by her sisier Millie, walked to her position at the ex- treme end of the parachute lines, raised the side ropes that connect the trapeze bar to these lines and was all ready to meke the usual run before the balloon raises high enough to lift the seronaut from the ground. The rope that held the balloon was drawn through the ring, the swinging arm hauled out of tie way and the order, “‘Everybody let rol" ‘was given. This was obeyed pmmrt , and the in- flated sphere Tose slowly,” and as it got above the level of the cylinder there was seen a great mass of flame and a cry went up from a hundred voices, **She’s on fire.”” The parachute dragged over the flames, then the lines and finally the trapeze, but Miss Viola was not chnglns wit. The balloon, however, was not on fire. Miss Viola was being held by two men and there was a look of disappointment on | ington. her face, and then, as_the balloon soared upward some one cried ‘‘Fake!” whereat the fair young aeronaut burst into tears and was led away to her dressing-room. Those who held her saw that 1t she fol- lowed in the line of the parachute she would be dragged over the flame and that there was danger that her clothes would have taken fire, and it was to avert that calamity that they held her. “It isa ereat disappoiniment to me,’”’ said Miss Viola, ‘“‘that I'was not allowed to go up, but what hurt me was to hear the cry. of ‘fake.”’ This is the first time that 1 have failed to leave the ground when I started to make an ascension.” — e ——— DULL IN THE EAST. Observations of Frank S. Kelly on a Recent Trip to Atlantic Cities. Frank 8. Kelly, a well-known druggist of S8an Francisco, has returned from a pro- longed Eastern trip. He was traveling on his wedding journey, and wholly free from the cares of business he had opportunity to make observations in New York, Chi- cago, Philadelphia, Baltimore and Wash- In his travels he met many old Californians. He saw three men in New York who left this City millionaires, but are now *broke’’ financially. H. B. Slaven, who was well known as a progressive druggist in San Francisco some fifteen years ago, is living in sumptuous style in New York. Mr. Slayen is a multi- millionaire and a successful business man. The foundation of his forfune was laid in the execution of large contracts for dredg- ing the Panama canal under De Lesseps’ administration. ‘While to Mr. Kelly’s mind business may be a trifle dull in San Francisco there is not the stagnation here that he observed in several Eastern cities, Washington, for example, was dull beyond description.

B El Dorado Parlor's Ball. El Dorado Parlor No. 52, N. 8, G. W., will give a grand entcrtainment and ball at Native Sons’ Hall on Tuesday evening, June 30, 1896, the proceeds of which will be devoted to the Admission Day fund. The committee have secured old Pioneer Hall, on El Dorado and Stockton streets, and have also secured quar- ters at the Commercial Hotel. A gala time is expected. The following is the list of the newly elected officers: Past gmulflmt. J. G, Joly; president, M. Baker; first vice-presiden G. C.

Bragg. there displayed that the next Republican President of the United States would be Msjor William McKinley of Ohio. Having thus interpreted the prophecy there was no time lost in preparing to do honor to the illustrious name of bim who will restore this great Nation to the high and lofty station destined for it, and to which his Republican anSestors on the party line had placed it before the all-de- stroying hand of Grover Cleveland and his followers had pulled it down to a condition of financial bankruptcy and commercial stagnation. Imbued with enthusiasm and full of hope in the fulfillment of their propbetic vision, they organized the McKinley Club, thinking that probably two years later would bring forth the happy result; but National politics are as uncertain as State or municipal in the selection of winning candidates. Major McKinley did not re- ceive the nomination, and to all ordinary urposes the McKinley Club was a misfit Fn the campaign of 1892 But to the loyal forces of the Forty-first Assewbly District this little disappoint- ment in not getting their idol at the head of the ticket was no obstacle. They stood by their party and did what they could for the election of General Harrison knowing that the next time would bring to them the man for whom their club had been or- ganized and that he would yet become the standard-bearer of the party. Time fulfilled their hopes and when the Republican Conyention at St. Louis a few weeks ago nominated William McKinley as the next President the hearts of the Mc- Kinley Club members took a sudden boom and the club is now one of the foremost political organizations in the city. This is all the more apparent as it was the first McKinley club started not only in San Francisco but the State of California. This year it will be no misfit, but made to dovetail to a n(cetg in the grand structure LM Republican clubs organized for the pur- pose of giving to the Republican nominee such a sweeping majority in California as to leave the word doubtful entirely out of ;I:e 4qnezumxx on the morning of Novem- r 4. Foremost in the formation of the Me- Kinley Club was H. C. Firebaugh, its first and only president. One of the liar- ities H. C. Firebaugh is that he re- fuses to be led by a time-serving boss who has no other interest in the welfare of the Esrtg than his own personal ends. This e has time and again demonstrated by kicking over the boss traces and setting out a line of policy for himself. Yet, while so doing his actions have always been for the advancement of the Repuhli- can party and its nominees, Associated with him are some of the prominent Re- publicans of that section of the City, among whom is Albert Stetson, oue of San will be offered with all the special features that it has been presented with during the past week. A new piece is to be put on at the Park Theater this evening. Itis “‘The Rambler From Clare,” in which Dan McCarthy, the leading man, will appear in the principal character.

Chinese Mobammedans Threaten an Invasion of That Section. THR MISSION IS DANGEROUS. He Will Report at Rome First to the Father-General of the Fran. ciscan Order. Rev. Father Athanasius, who has been actively connected with St. Boniface Roman Catholic Church on Golden Gate avenue for six years, preached a farewell sermon at high mass yesterday morning. This church is served by the Franciscan Fathers. ‘When a clergyman preaches a farewell sermon it means that he is going away. Father Athanasius is going back to China, leagues into the interior of that strange country on a mission to carry to and spread the word of Jesus among the worshipers of idols and tbe practitioners of barbarofis caremonies. He will leave this evening and, instead of sailing direct across the Pacific, will take the overland route, and report first to the Father-General of the Franciscan order at Rome. The dry eyes in the large congregation yesterday morning were few. Father Athanasius has labored hard ana faith- fully 1n San Francisco, and endeared him- self to his parishioners. The scene was touching. In order that the parting might not be too emotional, the reverend father abbreviated his farewell remarks. Father Athanasius has been in China be- fore. He was in mission work there nine years before he came to San Francisco. But death has thinned the ranks of the forerunners of the gospel among his order in far-away China, and as there is now a vacancy he is called upon to fill it. He speaks the language fluently. The order has lost eight priests in two years at the mission to which he is going, Father Athanasius is going into the province of Shensi. After he leaves the steamer at Hankow it will take sixty days’ travel into the interior for him to reach his station. The pathway of the Christian mission- ary in China is not one lined with roses and shaded with magnolia blossoms. It is a pathway of danger from the climate, danger from the midnightettack und dan- ger from political and relizious insurrec- tions. Father Athanasius knows that he carries his life in his hand when he goes into the province of Shensi. Particularly is this true at the present time. He has two brothers in the work at the mission where he is going. Last week he received a letter from one of them stating that a political rebellion had arisen among the Chinese Tarks, who are follow- ers of Ali and one God in the adjacent province of Kansou, and adding that they were expecting an invasion by the Chinese Mohammedans. It requires over three months’ time for a letter to come to San Francisco from the Franciscan mission in Shensi, and by the time Father Athana- sius arrives there the invasion may pre- sent terrors that he knows not of. QUICK SIGNAL WORK. Presidio Gunners Who Fired General Dimond’s Funeral Salute Informed in Less Than Twenty Seconds. The simultaneous firing of the guns out at the Presidio with the departure of the late General Dimond’s funeral train from Dr. Mackenzie’s church has evoked quitea little curiosity as to how the artillerymen by the Golden Gate were informed of the time when the funeral left the church door. It seems that the accurately timed sa- luting was the result of a remarkably %mck a}gi\;l qworkddgne.gy the Signal orps o e Second Brigade under C tain G. C.

The same procedure was carried out at the grave at Laurel Hill, where the thir- teen salutes were fired as the casket was being lowered into the ground. The signal corps was composed of Cor- poral Garfield and Privates Tucker and Gould. The fact that the militia at present have no heavy guns available made it necessary to have the salutes fired by a battery of the United States army. - - ‘When a European doctor is admitted, and the case is rare, to see a sick woman in the harem, he finds her covered with a black sbeet, so that only her eyes and mouth are visible.
