' THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, MONDAY, JUNE 29, 1896. SRR FATHER CARAHER 1S WELCOMED, Public Reception to the New Pastor of St. Francis Parish. HE THANKS HIS PEOPLE Company M, League of the Cross Cadets, Greets Him With a Rally. RESENTS . BARNES' ATTACK. The Vigorous Priest Proclaims for Loyalty and Points a Way for Catholics. A public reception was given by the parishioners of 8t. Francis parish yester- day in Washineton Hall to the new pas- tor, Rev. Father Caraher, who a week be- fore came irom Mission San Jjose and as- sumed charge of St. Francis. The meeting was held under the auspices of Company M, League of the Cross Cadets, who took advantage of the occasion to hold one of their popular railies. The spacious hail was crowded with parishioners and friends of Father Cara- her. The league, the Catholic temperance organization, was well represented. Rev. P. O'Ryan, its spiritual director; Thomas Fallon, its president: N. J. Keogh and Joseph Murphy of the executive commit- tee and the pastor of the parish occupied seats on the platform. Company M and other members of St. Francis parish branch were in the front of the ball under command of Captain T. Dinan and Lieu- tenants P. Quirk and A. Conich. In opening the exercises all present sang the “Veni Creator,” after which M. K. Tupple, W. Donovan, Miss Hill, James O’Donnell, M. T. Dwyer, W. Cadogan and T. Lyatt entertained the audience. ‘*Amer- ica” and the *Te Deum” were also sung. When the chairman of the meeting, W. J. Keogh, introduced the Rev. Father Caraber as the new pastor of St. Francis parish the audience gave evidence of their love and esteem for their new spiritual ad- viser by prolonged applause. % Fatber Caraher said: “It is impossible for me fully to ex- press the pieasure it gives me to appear before you this afternoon. I see here ladies and gentlemen who have not for- gotten me. 1 need no introduction guide or map to direct me when I face North Beach. I have been with you before and I am with you again. Like William Tell when he returned to his home, he raised his bands and said to the crags and cliffs of hs youth, ‘I raise my hands to wel- come you and to show you thet I have thoucht of you when absent.’” And so it is with me. I raise my hand to show you that I have not forgotten you when ab- sent, and to signify my pleasure to be with you once more.” He spoke feelingly and kindly to the members of the League of the Cross, who, he said, had been organized to spread the cause of temperance over the land. This they have done and he hoped they would continue to do o as long as they lived. After exhorting them to continue in this good work and remain “firm and devoted members of the church he paid his re spects to the A. P. A.’s. He characterized that society as “Canadian curs and Bashi Bazouks from Belfast who are trying to stir up strife between American citizens.” “It is also the duty of the cadets to de- fend this Republic with their lives,” con- tinued the pastor. *It was partly carved out by aid of Catholic swords and largely | broucght to its present grandeur and prom- inence by Catholic energy and industry. “The A. P. A. is misnamed. It should be called the Aaron Burr Association. The power that strangled that traitor should strangle this, and’it is the duty of Catholics 10 strangle treason wherever it is jound. “I see by the papers that General Barnes has made an onsiaught on the League of the Cross. This Barnes is, no doubt, of the same stripe of generals as General Morgan, whom Father Yorke has flayed alive. No doubt they both belong to the Captain-Jinks-of-the-Horse-Marines class, “This General Barnes did a noble thing when he turned his back on the field of battle and returned to the Pacific Coast, where there was no fighting. *‘He has seen fit to condemn the League of the Cross because its cadets bear arms, but he has not one word to say against the Junior Order of American Mechanics, who not long since marched into a Protestant Church in Oakland and stacked theirarms in the church. But this dribbling from anti-Catholics will have no effect on the cadets of the League of the Cross. You will go on unchecked, notwitnstanding what those patriotic heroes who ran away from the field of bartle may say about you. It is your duty to defend and protect this Republic and hand it down to posterity as you got it from the great and glorious George Washington «T love this country as a Catholic and as a priest. There is no other country on earth that gives the same liberty of reli- gion; liberty to the priest and to the peo- ple. O, Columbus, I love thee for the blessings thou hast bestowed upon the hu- man family.” He thanked his parishioners for the re- ception given him and urged the paren's to encourage their children to join the League of the Cross in the interest of tem- perance. TYPOGRAPHICAL UNION. Nomination of Officers, to Be Voted for the Last Wednesday in July. San Francisco Typographical Union No. 91 held a meeting in Shiels building yes- terday afternoon.

A GAIN FOR BENICIA Angel Island as a Military Stat.on May Be Aban- doned. Field Sports at Fort Mason— The Coming Retire- ments. Cariosity isrife in United States army circles to ascertain the names of officers recommended for retirement under the recent circular of the Secretary of War, ask- ing for the names of officers who are physi- cally unable to perform active service in the field. It is known that Colonel Crofton, Fif- teenth Infantry, heads the list. He re- reents the recommendation and is in- clined to offer resistance on the ground that personal prejudice against him was at the bottom of the report. Other officers on the list are Colonel Bradford, Seven- teenth Infantry; Major John G. Turnbull and Ljeutenant J. 8. Oyster, First Artil- lery ; Captain Thomas G. Townsend, Sixth Cavalry, and Captain Henry Romeyn, Fifth Infantry. The Army and Navy Register of Wash- ington, D. C., is authority for this para- graph: “It is learned at the War Department that certainly two, and possibly three, officers of the Fiith Artillery, have been recommended for retirement.” Some weeks ago THE CALL published news to the same eifect as the above con- cerning retirements in the Fifth Artillery, and the publication caused a lively com- motion and some vigorous denial at the Presidio. The War Department has practically decided the question of changes of station. The Fifth Artillery of this department will not go south or leave-here at all, and the First Infantry will not go further than Benicia. Quite a sum of money reserved for the transportation of troops will, it is said, be expended at Benicia in making improve- ments to accommodate the First Infaniry. The plans of the department, so far as can be ascertained, are to abandon the post at Angel Island and make Benicia an im- ortant station. The changing of the eadquarters of the First Infantry from Angel Island to Benicia has been agreed upon. The changes to be made in other depart- ments will send the Second Infantry from Omaha to posts in the Department of Da- kota. The Twenty-second Infantry, in- stead of going to Omaha, will go to Fort Crook, Nebr. Two companies of the | Eleventh Infantry, now at Fort Whipple, will go to the new post at Little Rock, Ark. This post has not yet been named, but will be christened in honor of some distinguished army officer. On May 26 last General Forsyth, com- manding the Department of California, { issued General Orders No. 4, encouraging | and announcing athletic games and field sports. IAl Fort Mason, Captain Vogdes, com- manding, there were interesting contests on June 26. Records were not broken, but a good showing was made.

Cigarettes Made of Tea to Be Intro- duced in England. It appears, according to the gossip of high society, that we are soun to witness the introduction of a strange fashion, which is now conquering London, and which, according to the tradition of Pa- risian high life, will soon be adopted there. ‘We refer to the custom of smoking eig- arettes in which tea is substituted for tobacco. It was the high-toned Jadies of this country that invented the new luxury, of which they are pnssionfllel{ fond, and tea-cigarettes are now not only to be had in certain establishments in London, but they are smoked in a new and fashionable club just established in Kensington, in which tobatco is tubooed. ‘We must admit that the fashion in question, however extraordinary it may appear at first sight, may have some good in it. At the present time it is customary afier dinner for the gentlemen to desert the ladies en masse, in order to enjoy their cigars, while the hostess and her lady guests, uomFlewly forsaken, remain in waiting until it pleases the guests of the homely sex to rejoin them, and this, we must say to the shame of the nineteenth- century gallantry, generally happens very late.—Pearson’s Weekly. race— Winner, Private — A Modest Duchess.

The congregation of the First Christian Church on Twelfth street was addressed last evening by the Rev. George F. Hall of Decatur, Ill. The discourse was preceded sult the session may be somewhat delayed. To-night the engineers, their wives and the others traveling in the party will take %m in a reception to be heid in the Palace otel. The meetings proper will be devoted to discussions principally along lines sug- gested by the following papers, which are to be read during the convention: “Flow of Water In_Wrought and Cast Iron Pipes From 28 to 42 Inches in Diameter,” by Isaac W. Smith, M. Am. Soc. C. E. “A Water Power and Compressed Air Trans- mission Plant for the North Star Mining Com- pany, Grass ’\meey. Cal,” by A. D.

To-morrow the whole party will partici- pate in an excursion round the bay, after which a visit will be paid to the Union Iron Works and shipbuilding yards and the Pacific Rolling Mills. On Wednesday the engineers will in- spect the different power-houses in the City, particularlv those of the cable car ‘| companies. Thursday will be devoted to an exami- nation of the Spring Valley water works and dam in San Mateo County and to a visit to Stanford University. {n the even- ing the party will go to Del Monte. Friday Santa Cruz and the big trees will be visited and at 7 o’clock Friday night the Eastern delegation will pass through Oak- land on the way home. Thomas Curtis Clarke of New York is Eresldent of the society,which has a mem- ership of about 7000. With the exception of the Denver con- vention, held several years ago, this is the first time the society has met in the West. Professor Joseoh Le Conte, the great scientist, is a member of the society, but George Morse, engineer of the Memphis pndgq and of several bridges on the Miss- iss1ppi, is probably one of the best known members. N e ) Rev. George F. Hall. the Celebrated Pulpit Orator Who Preached Yesterday at the First Christian Church on Twelfth Street. by a prayer and reading from the Scrip- ture, by the Rev. Dr. Wickham of Port- land, Or. The topic chosen by Dr. Hall was *‘The Greatest Book in the World.” “The oldest, the best and the greatest book in the world,” he said, ‘‘is the Bible, and yet it is the most abused. I take my text this evening from the second chapter of Timothy, fifteenth verse, ‘Show thyself approved unto God.” ““It matters not if we please men, so long as we make our lives acceptable to God. We are apt to misconstrue and misapply the word of God. To save ourseives from falling into these errors, let usread and study the good book. It is the basis of all true Christiznity, and should be ap- proached in the same spirit that we ap- rosch other books. It tells us how to ive and how to die. book of human life. *“With all its greatness, it is still com- paratively simple and easy of comprehen- sion. It isits own interpreter and farjtoo sacred to be used for no other purpose than tosit upon or as .a receptacie for chattel mortgages, etc. It shouid be read and studied thoughtfully, and not in a desultory, superficial way. “The Bible is often misinterpreted by picking out & verse here and a verse there and then joining the two together. In this way you can prove, seemingly, any- thing which you desire. *Judas went and hanged himself,’ ‘Go, thou, and do like- wise’—they might be cited as a justifica- tion of suicide. “Preachers make a serious mistake in applying the old laws of Moses to the present generation. It cannot be done logically. When God said, ‘Remember the Sasbbmb day and keep it holy,’ he meant it only for the Jews. Science has never yet gone farther in explaining the mys- tery of creation than the first verse of Genesis, where we are told that ‘God created heaven and earth.’ I do not be- lieve in the six days’ theory, but hold thatiach day was equivalent to & great riod. ‘“What grand characters we see in the Bible! There is Moses, the chosen leader of the children of lsrul, and Joshua, who bade the sun to stand still. The thirty- nine beoks of the Old and the twenty- seven books of the New Testament are replete with poetry, wisdom and pathos. ‘The Aects of the Apostles is one of the most important and at the same time one of the most neglected books. In the book of Revelations, we catch a glimpse of heaven. Iiis justas requisite for us to live Christians as it is for us to become Christians. What we need most to-day is light, more light, and I know of no better way to get it than by a careful study of the Bible."” CVIL ENGINEERS HERE, One Hundred and Forty Con- vene in Academy of Sci- ences Te-Day.

As a re- RE, PUTA'S ISIOI The Well - Known Christian Church Evangelist Is in the City. By the Strength of His Personal Mag. netism He Carries on the Work of the Moster. Rev. Melvin Putnam, an evangelist of the Christian church, held forth last even- ing in the West Side Christian Church, on Bush street, near Devisadero. The con- gregation was large, in fact the little church was almost filled, for the pastor’s reputation as an enthusiastic worker in the cause of Christianity had preceded him many months. Rev. Mr. Putnam’s theme was “A Friend to Cbrist,’ and be had not pro- ceeded far in his discourse before he was thoroughly in touch with his people, and the audience was in sympathy with him. Therein lies his success, for the evangelist is known to be a man of great magnetic presence. Rev. Mr. Putnam is a young man with a smooth-snaven face, a kindly eyve and a low, persuasive voice when in ordinary conversation. But when ad- dressing his congregation the speaker hurls with strong voice and great force the facts that he believes to be truths. The new pastor is one of the best-known in the Christian church of anyin the United States. He hails from Ontario and has been six years in the ministry. From the start he entered upon evangelical work, and held numerous protracted meet- ings in various parts of the country, nota- ply some in Nebraska, where he built three churches. -His longest stay in one place was the past two years that he pre- sided as pastor over the Highlands Chris- tian Church of Denver. “Mr. Putnam arrived in this City last Thursday,’” saia D. F. Parker, one of the prominent members of the church, last evening. “He is the very man we want here. His personal magnetism car- ries everything before him. ~It secems to be his mission to draw people together in the cause, and in his career he hasestab- lished a number of large churches with a ood support. Money is no object, with im, for he frequently leaves a good-pay- ing church for one where his services are needed the more but where the pay is none the best.”” The evangelist last evening stated that be will continue the meetings every eyen- ing for some time to come. How long he will remajn he has not yet determined. A LIGHTNING STROKE. A German Estimates the Force of One in Horsepower Measure. It is no doubt interesting to express the force of a stroke of lightning in horse- power, 8ays a writer in a German review. During a recent storm which passed over Klausthal, Germany, a bolt struck a wooden column in a dwelling and in the top of this column were two wire nails one-sixth of an inch in diameter. . To melt iron in thisshort time would be impossible in the largest furnace now in existence, and it could only be accom- plished with the ai1 of electricity, but a current of 200 amperes and a potential of 20,000 volts would be necessary. This elec- tric force for one second represents 5000 horsepower, but as the thmingbmom- plished the melting in considerably less lhno—nwna—tanm of asecond—it follows that the bolt was 50,000 horsepower, CONVENTION OF CITY SOCIALISTS, Active Preparations for Holding One Herein July. DISTRICT ORGANIZATION It Will Begin Monday and Be Continued Energeti- cally. HEADQUARTERS ESTABLISHED. An Energetic Campaign to be Carried On Through City and State to +the Polls. The socialists of San Francisco are ac- tively engaged in arranging the prelimi- naries for a political campaign in every Assembly district. While they do not look for success, so far as the election of municipal officials is concerned, they are none the less enthusiastic and earnest over the struggle. “Our movement,” said one of the officers’ yesterday, ‘‘is one that in its history has never gone backward, but always onward. And as it goes it increases in volume and force like an avslanche. So if there be no possibility of winning now we know that the socialists will poll a very large vote in California. Our sympathizers are increasing in number continually. What is going to happen in the near future will be interesting, however.” 4 The Municipal Socialist Convention will be held in. San Francisco July 29. About the same date the State Convention will take place in this City. Already the Socialist Labor party is or- ganizing and getting ready for these meet- ings. eadquarters have been secured at 28 Ellis street, and the party’s officers are making it ready for the work that will soon be transacted there. Suitable furni- ture, desks and large quantities of social- istic literature will be in the new rooms, and every stranger seeking knowledge of socialism will be welcome there. At present there are five vigorous branches in San Francisco with a total active and subscribing membership of 1100. They are the American, Liberty, French, Jewish and German branches. The Jewish and German branches meetin their headquarters auv 948 Folsom street, between Fiith and Sixth. This » eveuning these two important clubs will be disbanded and in their place will be organized the Thirty-second Assembly District Club of the Bocialist Labor party. This will mark the beginning of the new organization. Immediately thereafter the otner branches will disappear, to be suc- ceeded by district ciubs as Enrt of the gen- eral city organization, which is to be thorough from one end of town to the other. The progress of the work of or- ganizing is said to depend largely on Chief Organizer Seiler. He has appointed E. D. Kingsley deputy organizer, and stated that as fast as possible the construction of the Socialist party in this city will be car- ried forward during the campaign. Meetings will be held on street corners every evening. The first one took place at Pineand Kearny streetsSaturday night and another held at'2 p. M. yesterday at Mar- ket street and Grant avenue. Certain places for holding these open-air meetings will be selected within a week. Incidentally the socialists will take ad- vantage of the Fourth of July parade to show their loyalty and their strength. Every member of San Francisco, Oakland and possibly San Jose will be in line, so that at least 1000 socialists will show the veople how their cult is growing. The City organizatton will be similar to that of the other political parties, and a central body will be elected at the con- vention with the State and municipal nominees, This central or executive council will, in conjunction with the dis- trict clubs, manage the campaign. The Society of American Socialists has disbanded and its leader, Morrison I. Swift, gone KEast. Its members have joined the Socialist Labor party. The Central Trade and Labor Alliance has indorsed the party’s glatform, giving still greater influence to the movement. At a meeting of this society at 102 O’Far- rell street Friday night, a full attendance of delegates were present. After receiving progressive reports from the organizing and executive com- mittees, the reports of Carpenters’ Union 304, Amalgamated Woodworkers’ Union and the Confectioners’ Union 42, adopting the constitution of the Socialist Trade and Labor Alhance of the United States and Canada, were received. The alliance having received an affirm- ative reply to the same effect from all its constituent unions, it was moved and car- ried unanimously that thealliance affihate with the Socialist’ Trade Alliance of the United States and Canada, and the corre- sponding secretary was directed to apply for a charter from that body. An invitation to participate with the members of the Socialist Labor party in the exercises and parade on July 4 was re- ceived and accepted, and the secretary was directed to notify all the unions rep- resented in the alhance and request thewr attendance in the parade in a body. A committee on by-laws was elected to draw up rules for the government of the alliance under its new charter. Theodore Lynch was elected recording secretary of the alliance by acclamation. Other officers will be_appointed at the next meeting, Friday, July 3. A YOUNG DOCTOR WEDS, Interesting Ceremony at Trinity Episcopal Church Last Wednesday.

F YOU HAD AN IMPORTANT LEGAL suit to settle would yousend around and get bids from a lot of lawyers and then employ the cheapest? If one of your fam- ily was suddenly taken sick would you send around to all the doctors in your neighborhood and call in the one who would offer a cure for the least money? A cheap lawyer is likely to be a “shy- ster,”” and a cheap doctor a ‘“‘quack,” and so a cheap Elec- tric Belt is likely to be a delusion and a snare. Don’t buy a thing because it is cheap, and especially not when that thing is for the good of your health. If you buy an Electric Belt it is cer- tainly to your best interest to buy the one which has built up a reputation by its CURES. After all, a cure is what you want, whatever the cost, and the remedy that has cured others is most likely to cure you; and even if it does cost a little more than those whose reputation is built on bluster, it is cheaper in the end, BE- CAUSE IT CURES. Here are a few of our late reports from patients: *I have suffered from Lumbago and Seiatica for thirty years. I have tried mauy remedies ‘without avail, and have been laid up at differ- ent times with my trouble.” After all else failed I got your Belt two months ago, and /it has cured me,” writes HUGH FRASER, ex- royal deputy Scottish Clans of California, 3063 Encinal avenue, Alameda, Cal. “I was greatly troubled with Indigestion and Nervous Debility, and could not sleep at night. 1 have used your Belt just thirty days, anda I can now eat food which I thought I would never be able to touch again. My sleep is sound, and I am refreshed in the morning.” C. F. ANDERSON, with Ballard & Hall, Fiflh and Brannan streets, San Francisco. “I bought one of your Belts five years ago in Minneapoiis for Lumbago. I have used it for that and other troubles, and it has done won- ders for me,” M. F. ROGERS, Veterans’ Home, Yountville, Napa County, Cal. “I bought vour belt six months ago for Ner- vous Debility and kidney trouble. I used the Belt about two weeks, and in that short time the nervous weaknessand brain-weariness had almost entirely ceased, and I gained fast in weight. I now recommend your Belt highly, as it will do all you ciaim.” “E. A, SHANNON, 507 Momgomer{ street, San Francisco. “I suffered from Seminal Weakness for years and spent hundreds of dollars doctoring, ‘but got no benefit till I got your Belt, and it has cured me after wesring it six weeks.” F. B. GALLOWAY. Densmore, Cal. I bought your Belt just 8 week azo for lame back and female troubles. I was confiued to my bed most of the time. Immediately upon applying it I found myself growing stronger. I now feel like a different woman, and owe it all to your Belt. I e used a great deal of medicine, but I can truthfully say that your Beit surpasses anything I nave ever tried.” MRS. P. M.
