THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, MONDAY, JUNE 29, 1896. EDWARDS DAVIS ON THE A, P. A He Springs a Surprise on the Good Citizenship Meeting. CRITICISED THE ORDER. The Oakland Orator Pronounces the Association’s Prac- tices Damnable. AFPROVES THEIR PRINCIPLES. Davis Says the Organization Shou'd Broaden Its Views of Its Mis- sion to Humanity. rds Davis, the Oakland orator who hieved local celebrity as the “‘actor- preacher,’” addressed the Good Citizenship meeting yesterday afternoon. It was not such an address as is ordinarily heard from rostrum of the Temple Sunday after- noon. His remarks were an undoubted surprise to the committee which had in- vited him as well as to the audience; yet the latter maintained its good humor, and even when the orator declared in dramatic tones, “The practices of your association are damnable,”” there was no demonstra- tion except faint applause. As a prelude to his remarks Mr. Davis said that he had intended to say some o the things he was about to utter the Sun- day previous, but if he had done so he probably would not have an opportunity to appear yesterday. After dilatine upon the sping of discovery which has ani- mated all people, he said: ““There have been various and frequent attempts to discover New America. These would-be discoverers have all been wrecked in unseen shoals, and this wreck will come to you, except by one means, which will be told to you. You will re- member that a few years ago the Grangers came into existence and attempted to soothe the hearts of the people. Then came the labor organizations. But, oh, ye men whose hands are hardened by loyal ’ toil, I ask you to look back upon your disappointments and failures—not be- cause of anything wrong with your mo- tives, but because of the untruth and treachery of the labor leaders. “Then comes along in splendid propor- tion the organization to which I have been invited to speak this afternoon, the American Protective Association. The question, then, is whether yon will be but another instance of wreckage or whether you will learn in time. “The thirteen principles of your or- ganization meet my heartiest approval— {Applause]—but—you see I conclude with the ever-potent ‘but’—the practices of vour association are damnable. [Faint applause.] That's right; applaud. 1 will expect you to applaud more before I am through. “I think you have too much appreci- ated the principles of your association &nd have overlooked the greéat principlest of human love. What difference does 1t make to you to-day wuether tbe A. P. A, is knocked into annihilation if America stands? I hope to God that there is not one of you here to-day who is not lessa member of this society than he is a citizen of this country. As you have made the mistake, sc has the entire Protestant cturch. Because Luther in the olden times started the Protestant movement by protesting against the iniquities of the Roman Catholic church is no reason why our leaders tn-day should spend their time rebuking evil rather than establish- ing the truth. “1t is not so much the question ‘What is the iniquity in the church vou oppose,’ but ‘Whatis the righteousness in your own.’ Because men who are in high places have fallen that does not mean that there is not enthroued in the ideals of others the Christ that was crucified. Wherever the Roman Catholic church is concerned I am its enemy. Wherever there 1s iniguity in the Protestant church I am doubly its enemy, ‘““Because of the enlightenment of the Protestant church, if its idols shall fall, thien where is the hope in our civilization ? I have a book in my possession containing accounts of crimes of 600y ministers. I be- lieve that when the minister of the Chris- tian church at large shall rather be a noble man than a doctor of divinity then will the president of the university grant that highest degree—eternal life. “Brethern this a mournful state of af- fairs, but it is natural. You must make the individual believe that he is the unit of society. He must understand that he must be himself puritied. It makes no difference to me that one who brought me the gospel has fallen from grace. He can- not take from me the infinitude of truth. 1f one of our Federal officials or one oi our high ecclesiastics shall fall, yet the state and tne church shall stand. What does one renegade, one backslider count when in the world to-day nominally 500,000,000 stand for righteousness? The world then need not feel discouraged and feel that it is to fail because of one littie one. “Iv is enough to make a preacher swear this afternoon to think of all the iniquity that is in this church, and in the Catholic church and in all the world. Yet that is not enough to make me forsake my post. When half the world shall turn traitors and renegades, yet will it be saved by the other half. Let us be, asit were, merely the humble iustruments 6f that God in bringing about that salvation. ““There are a few things tnat I want to criticise this afternoon that will enable our people to see the new America. You needn’t talk about thirteen principles and thirty-seven articles. There is only one God and he is 1infinite, and there is only one principle and tbat is truth. “The Prohibition party, instead of being the opponent of whisky, should be the opponent of all poisonous stuffs, and the A. P, A., rather than the opponent of the Roman Catholic Church, should be the opnonent of all iniguity. My God didn’t come to save Israel or to save the Jews, but to save thé world. “I want to impress upon you that vou want to broaden your view of your prin- ciples. They are broader than you think. I ask you, [§ it any better to have a Pope in Rome than to have one in America? I ask you, s it any better to overthrow the church of Rome and allow to arise on its ruins an organization baving within it an ecelesiasticism that isdamnable? “There are men in your society who are scoundrels. Your organization is as cor- rupt as any in existence. I claim there is corruption constantly in the work. I claim that wherever iniguity is found if there is to be peace to you 1t wiil be by forgetting all associations and pleasant memories and making some men outcasts. #] proclaim I am your enemy forever until there shall come to you a realization of the individual rather than the social idea. Icome to you to l2t you know that there is one man willing to condemn the Roman Catholic Church and every church in Christendom and your society, not to your back but to your face. Itis my plea to you thatyou broaden your idea of the humanity of man. You must understand ihat you are yocur brother’s keeper. “In the battle of the world let me not have one enemy, but let me unsheath my sword and slash down everyone who speaks against my God, my church, my flag, my country, my home and myself.” The speaker was generously applauded, and at the conclusion of his remarks Chair- man Quitzow made a brief address thank- ing Mr. Davis, and saying the organization was willing to listen to criticism from any true American. Germans Will Celebrate. At the last special meeting of the Deutscher Krieger Verein of San Fran- cisco, peld on the 25th of June at B'nai B'rith Hall, a resolution was adopted to participate in the coming celebration of the Fourth of July. Members not present will be fined $2. ALMOST FOUNDERED. Startling Experience of the British Ship Carondelet Off the Coast. The British ship Carondelet arrived yes- terday morning, 86 days from Newcastle, N.S. W. The trip was extremely pieasant until the vessel reached a pointashort distance off the coast, almost opposite this port, wiien she was struck by a squall that nearly proved her destruction. 5 heé squall struck the vessel so quickly that there was no time to take in_sail and in consequence a large lot of the canvas was ripped off the yards like so much calico. The vessel was thrown on her beam ends and it was only with the very greatest effort that she was saved. s SR For the Lawyer. The uncle of Sepp, Michael and Hanna is dead. The untutored gentlemen are called to the notary’s office. The notary says, ‘‘After deducting 2500 marks for legal expenses each of you will get 12,200 marks. Sepp—Gee, whiz! Twenty-five hundred marks for lezal expenses! Say, are you one of the heirs?—From the French. CAICKET ACRISS THE BY The Alamedas Defeat the Pacific Eleven With Hands Down. Two very decisive cricket matches for the Hunter-Harrison cup were played yes- terday. At Alameda the Pacifics, who have hitherto kept first placein the contests were beaten by the Alameda team by 130 runs in the first innings. Going first to bat, the Pacifics compiled the lowly total of 43. G. B. Wise and J. A. Harbour were the only contributorsto this little total worthy of mention. Ward Jr. bowled in his best torm, taking five wickets for two dozen runs, and Sloman did almost as well at the other end. Then the Alamedas took the pitch, their captain, the veteran Hogue, leading the ball with & neatly compiled half century. Randall and Teddy Hood seconded his eftorts nobly, Anderson and Ward Jr. also doing excellent work. Five bowlers were put on by the Pacific’s captain, but their united efforts aid not prevent defeat. In the second innings, played to kill time, the Pacifics, thanks principally to Harbour, put together 48 runs for six wickets. Itis the first signal aefeat suffered by the Pacifics this season.

As it was, the score was ample, for the Californias were dismissed for 73, Townsley, Guild and Croll doing most of the bpatting.

Before Whitelaw Reid became Minister to France he devoted a good deal of his time to the conduct of his paper, the Tribune, The copy editors who put up the headlines of stories of the day feil into the habit of making most of them inter- rogative, as, for instance, “Was It Murder or Buicide?”’ or “Did She Kill Him for Love?” or “Will the President Bign It?"” etc. The whole paper was speckled with in- terrogative points. The thing had been going for weeks, according to the Mercury, till one day a postal arrived. addressed to Mr. Reid, and marked personal. It read as follows: “I’m getting awful tired of your ques- tions. Way don’t you find out someting? A great newspaper is supposed to know everything, and ought not to annoy its readers with needless inquiries. This mornm%{you ask: ‘Will Mr. Platt Con- sent?’ How the h—ldo I know?” That night an order came that the Trib- une must ask fewer questions. e e LoaxS on diamonds. Iuterest low. At Uncle Harris, 16 Grant avenue. A NEW ARRIVAL AT THE PARK The Baby Elk That At- tracts Thousands of Curious People. THE WATER SUPPLY. What It Costs to Obtain It and the Amount Saved to the Taxpayers. FORESTS ON BERNAL HEIGHTS. Attractions at Sutroviile by the S:a. Preparations for a Water Carnival. The thousands who visited Golden Gate Park yesterday were made aware of the fact that there had been an increase in the famiiy of animals that are kept within the inclosures, and all who heard of it crowded around the fence of the deer glen to obtain a view of the baby elk that first saw the light of day last Friday. The little fellow was quite frisky for one so young, and when crowd after crowd had viewed the new arrival they turned to other wonders to be seen in the great park. The notice in THE CALL a few days ago drawing atteniion to the fact that there was great delay in replacing the convict- dressed pedestal on which is to be shown the bust of General Grant, awakened the memorial committee to action, and during the week not only has the pedastal been put in position, but the bust has been placed where it is to rest for ages to come. This, however, is to be hidden from view by a great white cloth and will remain there until the committee announces that it1s ready to unveil i#t. The monument occupies the site of the one that was re- moved, just north of the north end of the grand court and diagonally opposite the Park museum. park or is it Spring Valley ?”’ asked Com- missioner Rosenfeld of Buperintendent McLaren, pointing to a faucet in the new lodge. “Is this artesian-well water from ihe | “From our own water works,” was the trick of remainin~ under water for several minutes, Yesterday he remained out of sight seven minutes, and came up as fresh as when he went in, despite the fact that he had been in salt water. Colonel Robinson says: “This man goes in the water, remains out of sight many minutes, but it’s all an iilusion—a trick—and I'd like to have somebody tell me how it's done.” On the Fourth of July there will be a grand carnival in the big tank in imita- tion of the one given at Santa Cruz. A number of carpenters and artisans are at work buildinf floats and gondoias, in one of which will ride the Water Queen and her maids, and this gueen 1s a belle of the Richmond district. In one of the gondo- las there will be a mandolin club of youn, ladies, *“and, by the way,” remarke Colonel Robinson, *‘we will do as the New York Alderman once said, ‘have a male and a female gondola.’”” ‘Within a few days Professor Raymous, a first-class swimmer, will make a high dive from the upper porch of the Cliff House into the ocean. The dive will be eighty- nine feet. Herman Vogel of 721 Linden avenue, aged about 18 years, was a passenger on eastbound train 1 of the Park and Ocean line_late vesterday afternoon, and when on H street, near First avenne, he at- tempted to jump off as he had seen others do, but was not so fortunate, for he fell and injured his face and head. He was picked ‘up by Special Ofiicer Herve, and assisted to the train, which stopped and backed. He wasconveyed to the Stanyan- street depot, and from there to the Re- ceiving Hospital. . Yesterday’s Alarms. An alarm was sounded from box 61 at 2:50 P. M. yesterday fora fire in Mrs. 1. Schwartz’s dressmaking establishment, 342 Third street. The cause of the blaze, which damaged the building to the extent of $100, is unknown, The alarm from box 65 At 6 P. M. was for a small blaze caused by flying sparks om the roof of a two-story dwelling-house occupied by Mrs. A. Griffiths at 563 Minna street. The damage was nominal. WLL BN 4 B PR Spokane to Display All the Products of the State of Washington. Manager Smith Tells of the Benefits to Be Derived From the Enterprise. Spokane, Wash., is to have a great fruit fair and mineral aisplay from October 6 to 17, and F. W. Smith, the manager and secretary for the community enterprise, has been in town for several days making arrangements for additional attractions. Mr. Smith in appearance is something of an advertisement of the growth and prosperity of the country he represents, for he is 6 feet 6 inches in height, and, reply. | without being at all fleshy, weighs 265 Ehis question and answer brought out | pounds. the fact that the park is supplied by six | “I am a California boy,” said he with F.

In ten years those hiils would be covered with trees, which would enhance the value of the prop- erty, improve the beauty of scenery and act as a great windbreak. Maybe some- time those interested may do that. ““What the suthorities ought to do,” continued the superintendent, ‘‘and that before the price of land gets high, is to se- cure a large tract for the benefit of the Mission people, for this park is too far away. The securing of park sites is oc- cupyxni(he attention of the authorities of many Eastern cities, for they must have parks for the people. In New York City the authorities tore away four blocks of buildings to make way for a people’s park. 1f our people here do not atiend to such matters while it is yet time, they will have éo Ido s0 in the future and pay high for the elay.” Sutroville by the sea had its share of visitors yesteraay, and they amused them- selves watching the waves and the seals, and nt some time at the many attrac- tions that have been established there. “This,” said an Eastern man here on a visit, “‘reminds me of Coney Island beach on a very small scale; that is, ouside the baths. Coney Island is not in it with your baths.” The crowd in the baths was large, and with considerable interest they watched the races, diving, the clown of dwarfish stature on the platform and in the water and other specialties. Dana Thompson, the water-wonder, has gone to BSeattle, and his place is being filled by young Cornell, who performs Thompson’s pride as he stood in the court of the Palace and expanded a chest that mnst have measured over four feet, “for I was born at Coloma, up near where the first gold was discovered. My father, Levi Smith, was a ’49er and planted the first veach orchard in California, so I guess I come by this fruit fair business honestly. “This will be the third annual fruit fair, and we fully expect an attendance of over 100,000. Last year’s fair was such a success that the merchants have raised $5000 to pro- mote the enterprise this fall. Bhe rail- roads—the Northern, the Great Northern and the Union Paciic—have riven a cent- a-mile rate from all points in Washington, Oregon, Idaho and Moniana to the fair. Now tbat is an unusually low rate, and the result will be that the people from 300 to 500 miles from Spokane will come to the fair with their faimlies. “Last year the paid admissions to the fruit fair were 51,000, and it was estimated that $250,000 in outside money entered business channels in the city as a result. “In connection with this year’s fruit dis- lay from Washington, Oregon, Idaho and ontana, for which $1500 in cash prizes will be awarded, there is to be an exhibit of ores from all the mining sections of the Northwest. It will be one of the largest if not the most complete collection of ores ever seen in America, for there is an enor- mous mining country tributary to Spo- kane—which is a center for all that great British Columbia mininF region—the Slo- can district and the Trail Creek country. “‘Spokane is growing faster than peopie know. In the mslgeur its population has increased 3000, and there are now close onto 40,000 people there. Montana mining men predict that it will be a second Den- ver iaside of five years. Besides the mines that are proving such a benefit to business in Spokane, there is a big farming conntry, and right at the town there is a water- power that rivals that at Minneapolis, *‘Flourmills now turn out 1500 barrels a day, and another mill is being built to turn out 1000 barrels a du% It is bound to be a milling center. e are getting into the foreign markets with our flour, too. Nearly every steamer carries a ship- ment for China and Japan. “We are trying to get a railroad rate from California points during the fruit fair, for there are to be two weeks of races, and California and Montuna horses will compete. “The Northwest Mining Association will meet at Spokane during the fair, and October 7 will be miners’ day. A thousand dollars for gflu- is to be contributed by miners for double and single handed drili- ing contests, and a drilling contest is the miner’s delight.” REALTY MABKET REVIEW, A Number of Sales of Medium- Priced Property Re- ported. BUSINESS, HOWEVER, IS DULL. A Review of the Records for the Week and Miscellaneovs Notes of Interest The interest manifested in the auction sale of a portion of the Murphy ranch, re- ported in THE CaLL of yesterday, should be encouraging to dealers in country lands, The attendance at the sale was very large and the prices realized for the lands were very good. The market in the city remains un- changed. There are but few sales being made and it is not expected that there will be much if any improvement until fall. The scare over the proposed big tax levy has about subsided arnd a menace to the market is not looked for now from this quarter. The fact, however, that it is presidential election year is not calculated to help matters much, even with the com- ing of the fall season, and in consequence there may not be any marked revivalin the market untiinext year. Values are so low, however, that the few wise ones who buy now will reap the reward of their fore- sight when the market agaia assumes an upward turn. Building operations are also quict. There are a number of large structures going up about town, and when building contracts for these are filed from time to time it causes the aggregate to assume very respectable proportions. But an snalysis of the contracts filed since January 1shows that the number of dweilings, flats and busi- ness structures of moderate cost that have been erected and contracted for since that date is comparatively small. It is extensive building operatious on a small scale that creates sctivity among the building trades, and it will require a revival in the real estate market before there will be a renewal of building operations in the way of the erection of moderate-priced structures.

CLERKS TACE RECRENTO A Most Enjoyable Day Spent Yesterday at Glen Elien. Half the Proceeds to Go to the Sur- vivors of the Fifth-Street Disaster. The retail clerks of this City had a delightful day of recreation from business cares yesterday at their picnic at Glen Ellen. Several hundred clerks and their friends took advantage of the picnic rates and enjoyed a day’s holiday among the Sonoma redwoods. The almost perfect summer weather which prevailed through the day made the outing a particularly enjoyable one to the salesmen and sales- women who had almost forgotten what sunshine is during the recent foggy weather in this City. Messrs. Morris and Louis Metzger were among the most active in making ar- rangements for the outing. In making the elaborate preparations for the picnic they were ably assisted by the following, who served on various committees: H. Friedlander, B. . McDonough, D. J. Sheehan, J. Adler, M. J. Gildea, W. Hall, Frank Condon, W. J. Ahern, G. E. Ress, Milton Hart, Miss Rosie Jacobs, Miss Alice Edwards, Miss Page, L. Kuttner, J. Backman, Miss A. M. Laurie, Miss Bianey, Miss Lulu Pyat, Martin Erlenbach, A. H. Grossman, Jobn Hammer, Clark Miner, Miss Maud Levy, C. Jlaney. A generous variety of prizes was awarded, among the many valuable gate prizes being a bicyele. The prizes in the various races and sports were scarcely less valuable, and included the following: In the married ladies’ race, an order for | alarge photo, which was kindly donated by the Globe Portrait Company, good for any time party presents her photo. An order for a pocketbook IProm Sanborn, Vail & Co. for the young ladies’ race. To the winner of the fat man’s race, an elegant smoking set, the very latest from Paris. The winner of the single men’s race re- ceived one set of cuff and collar boxes from the Japanese department of the Em- porium. In the girls’ race an order on the candy- stand of ti.e Emporium for a box of ¥French cream candies was presented to the victor. The prize in the race for boys under 16 was an order on Beamish for one sweater. The winner of the special race of the San Francisco CALL was given a free sub- scription to THE CALL for one year. Dr. C. C. O'Donnell gave one silver cup, finely engraved, for a special race; also an | invitation to all the comers to this picnic to visit his ranch. B One of the most interesting features of the day’s diversions was a tug of war con- test in which four teams were entered, composed of employes of the following J. J. O'Brien, Hale Bros., 0’Con- nor & Moffat and the White House. J. W. Wyckoff of the Emporium acted as referee of the contest. One-half of the profits arising from the excursion will be given to aid the sar- | vivors of the Fifth-street disaster. The Enerusily of the clerks in promptly show- g in_a substantial manner their sym- vathy for the unfortunate sufferers of the recent horror 1s particularly commendable and worthy of general imitation. STBBED AN ROBBED. A. G. Johnson Found Dying in the Brush—Claims He Was Waylaid. The Police and a Receiving Hospital Doctor Say He Attempted Suicide. A. G. Johnson, a carpenter with a wife and six children residing at 720 Fell street, was found in a dying condition in the brush near the Masonic Cemetery at 4 o’clock yesterday afternoon by a young man. ‘When questioned as to the cause of his injuries he stated that he had left his home in the morning at 7 o’clock with the intention of visiting a friend named John McCready, who resides at 2616 McAllister street. Taking the Hayes-street car for that purpose he got off at Lott street to make a short cut through the brush and there met two maskea men, who attacked him. One held him while the other cut him severely in both his wrists and stabbed him several times in the region of the heart and then robbed him of $46 30 and some valuable papers, and left him, as they thought, dead. The young man who found Johnson re- ported the case to the police, and the patrol wagon wassent out and brought him to the Receiving Hospital, where he repeated the same story as that told his rescuers, adding that he became uncon- scious after being injured and when he came to he was too weak toleave the place. s Dr. Rinne made an examination of his injuries and pronounced them self-in- flicted. Detective Fitzgerald was detailed on the case and, after making his investigation, corroborated the opinion of Dr. Rinne that it was a case of attempted suicide. But Jobnson sticks to his version of the assault and robbery. NEW TO-DAY. Take No Substitute..
