4 ‘THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, MONDAY, JULY 27, 1896. THEY ALLWAT | BETTER AOALS Wheelmen, Teamsters and Property - Owners De- mand Improvements. REPAVE MARKET STREET Thousands Take Up the Cry and Are Ready to Do Battle. WILL LABOR PERSISTENTLY. The Cycle Board of Trade Proposes to Work With a Will for a Smooth Roadbed. ‘‘Repave Market street.” The slogan has been sounded and the friends of good highways are marshaling for an energetic and persistent fight. The demonstration of Saturday night is a source of gratifica- tion to wheelmen and others directly in- terested and to the great mass of specta- tors who viewed the line of march it wasa revelation. The showing made by the cyclists was a fraitful topic of conversation in the bicycle clubs yesterday afternoon, and the opinion was enthusiastically ex- pressed that when such a body wants any- thing nothing can stop it. And the wheel- men want Market street repaved. “It was a great showing,”” declared W. J. Kenny, chairman of the parade com- mittee of the Cycle Board of Trade. ‘“We have been nearly two months getting ready for it, and it has entailed no end of hard work. At first some of the bicycle clubs seemed reluctant about entering. Then we went before them on their meet- ing u;’ghts and explained just what we wanted. When we convinced them that the board was honestly endeavoring to start an agitation that would result in bet- ter roads for this City they came up nobly and the parade, as far as the wheelmen were concerned, fully came up to our ex- pectations. It took hard and persistent work, but Isuppose that is necessary to accomplish anything important. Anyway that is the way we intend to proceed to get Market street repaved. ‘“What the bicycle dealers and riders want most now is some kind of a smooth pavement from the ferries out Market and Valencia to Twenty-ninth. We are not ganicular what kind of a pavement. Macadam would suit us as well as any- thing, but we do want something tha bicyclist can ride upon without risking his neck, We, of course, wish the best pos- sible pavement put down, but we are will- ing to leave it to the judgment of others what is the best. “Valencia street is virtually a continua- tion of Market street and it is the main artery of one of the most populous sec- tions of the City. Watch the cars as they travel along that street .and you will gain an idea of the traffic alongit. Every car is filled, and before the Mission-street electric-cars were put on the people were compelled to stand up inside and hang on outside. It is the most natural outlet of the City, yet a bicyclist cannot traverse that street with safety. His only choice is between the well-nigh impassable basalt blocks and a cable-slot, which at places is two or three inches above the surface of the street. To slip from the slot it such a place would mean almost inevitable dis- aster, “The wheelmen have no desire to have a road built for them alone. They want a good, smooth, serviceable road upon which teamsters can haul to advantage, and which will be a benefit to the whole people. We intend to keep on agitating this matter, and we rely for aid and sup- | port, as we have had in the past, from the press, the Merchants’ Association, the teamsters, the improvement clubs and the great army of enterprising citizens who believe that good roads are a necessary feature of 2 well-regulated city. We must have good roads, and we will have them. First of all, Market street must be re- paved.” A. B. Maguire is one of the most active members of the executlve committee of the South Side clubs. To Mr. Maguire good roads has become almost a creed, and the suggestion of improvement fets forth unlimited enthusiasm. Mr. Ma- guire was an aid in the Saturday night demonstration and expressea himself as delighted with the turnout which the wheelmen made. “‘What the South Side clubs are now working for mainly,” he said, “is the con- tinuation of the improvement of Folsom street from Third to the ferries, the block between Eleventh and Twelfth and the crossings at Ninth, Eleventh and Twelfth streets. Then we want the sidewalks re- duced from 19 feet 6 1nches to 15 feet, giving the extra width to the roadway. ““We are also in favor of repaving Mar- ket street. The present pavement on that street is a constant menace to teaming. The basalt blocks and cobbles are as smooth as glass and horses fre uently slip and their power is constantly diminished. Bitumen partakes of the same fault when it is wet, and it seems to me something should be found in which this element is notpresent. Personally, I think macadam makes the best road, but I know a great many would not acree with me, “Now that the advocates of good roads have shown their strength, it seems to me they should determine what kind of pave- ment they want; then, having decided on that point, demand an appropriation and stay with it, The great secret of success in these matters is persistence. Some one must take the matter in hand and with tireless energy push it along. It will bea thankiess task. People will impugn the motives of the leaders, but they must not | get discouraged. Much will depend on the press in this matter, In our agitation for the improvement of Folsom street the press has been our backbone. It has treated us royally, ana we feel that our success is due to it. If the united press of this City decides that Market street must be repaved it will be done within a year.” The teamsters, who were at first reluot- ant about entering the movement, under the belief that bitumen was the only pavement to be considered, are now heart and soul with the agitators. A number of them entered the procession Baturday night as mounted aids, and tne more progeressive of them have taken up with a will the slogan: ‘‘Repave Market street.’” —_— WILL SOON ORGANIZE. . Branch of the Republican National League Club to Be Formed. A Lrief and informal meeting of the committee appointed at a meeting of the Union League Club a week ago to take steps toward forming a local branch of the Republican National Leagne Club was held yesterday afternoon, Colonel George Btone of the Union League Club presiding. Judge H. O. Dibble, T. H. Rush, T.C, Masteller and Tirey L. Ford, who, with Colonel Stone, compose the committee, ‘were also prez=xt. No action was taken in regard to organ- izing the club, but considerable discussion Was carried on and an understanding was reached as to the best method of proceed- ing in the matter. Next Tuesday another meeting of the committee will be held, when the committee will have formula & plan for organization and on Wednesday evening a meeting will be held to organize the proposed club. JEHOVAH OR BAAL? The Rev. Dr. Dille Exhorts His People to Live Actively in the Lord’s Service. The sermon preached last evening by the Rey. E. R. Dille at the Central M. E. Church was entitled, “A Call o Decision.” The text was from Kings, “How long halt ye between two opinions?”’ . After referring to the duel of the deities on Mount Carmel, where, at the request of the Prophet Elijah, fire descended from heaven and the followers of Baal were weaned from their idol worship and forced to recognize Jehovah as the only true God, the speaker said: ‘‘When humanity cries out, every star, every blade of grass, every flower, every tree, every river, every brook and every mountain - proclaims the existence of the Lord. I say to you, if you believe in Jehovah, the manly thing for you to do isto follow him. Many laymen intend eventually to become Christians, but delay too long, and at the close of a sinful and selfish life think to say a prayer, repent and so slip into heaven through the infinite mercy of God. This is a mean policy to pursue, and it is not always safe to rely for salvation upon a deathbed repentance. *'Tis true that there are many unworthy Christians in this world, but then the church is our common mother and we shonld be the last to see her faults. Would that all of our churches were united, then we should be so strong that we could put down the saloons and stamp out political corruption. & “Laymen are as responsible for the sal- vation of souls as churchmen. We should enter into the service of the Lord, not for our own sakes merely, but because he needs us to aid in reclaiming our fellows. Choose then between Jehovah and Baal, for eternal life is of far greater value than wealth or temporal power.” The speaker illustrated his discourse by references to current topics. SOCIALIST LABOR PARTY, Arrangements to Place a Muni- cipal Ticket in the Field, Some Assemblymen Already Selected for the Honor of Representing Their Party. The Socialist Labor party at their meet- ing yesterday afternoon took imitiatory steps to the placing of a municipal ticket in the field for the coming election. ‘With thisobject in view a meeting of the eighteen Assembly District delegates, com- prising 150 members, assembled at Socjal Hall, 115 Turk street, yesterda; The first order of business was announced by the temporary chairman, H.

Mr.and Mrs. Samuel Foorman have just re- turned after an extended visit to Mokelumne Hill. Diuring his stay in Calaveras Mr. Foor- man visited many points of interest, and was the subject of an interesting interview in that enterprising newspaper, the Calaveras Pros- ect. P'rne following extracts from the reported in- terview will be read with interest by the many triends of the worthy president of the Moke- lumne and Campo Seco Canal and Mining Com- pany.

TWO PARISHES COMPETE Splendid Literary Productions Rendered With Oratorical Power. THE PRIZE A BADGE OF SILVER Sergeant Curtis Will Be One of the Four Contestants for the Gold + Medal Next Year. Mission Parlor Hall was far too small to sccommodate the immense number who came to the grand rally of the League of the Cross Cadets of the first district. This reading the reportsin the papers and hear- ing the people talk, were led to believe thatthe world isin a very bad way. He said that one-half of the country wants gold and,the other half silver, but no one can say that the country, no matter what metal is chosen, will be any better off on November 6 than it was on May 6. *‘No political party will do away with all the evil in the world,” he said. “I am not & prophet, but I have a cure. The thing ‘We want &0 badly and the thing that will will save our country is an honest man. *'So far as honesty is concerned, both in public and private life, there is very little of it. Honest men have come to the con- clusion that both good and bad politicians are tarred with the same brush. Nobody goes into politics but for what there is in it. No nation ever became great or powertul which was built on a rotten foundation. The ages of chivalry have past and we have now advanced civilization, but there isa vast difference between the ideal of the gentleman of to- day and of then. Kind hearts, courteous words, unselfishness, purity of heart and ‘I,!:l,!,d. will make the world as it should The judges for the essay were Professor Knowlton, Frank B, Lorrigan and Miss Shay. Atthe conclusion of the address Professor Knowlton announced that Ser- gesnt Curtis had won the literary and oratorical victory by thirteen points, and Father O'Ryan then pinned on the coat of the victor the silver medal. SCANLAN’S SUCCESSOR. Chauncey Olcott Comes to Sing in a High-Toned Irish Play. Chauncey Olcott, the successor of Min- strel Scanlan in Irish plays, arrived Sat- urday afternoon from the East. Iis TR AR Sergeant A. B. Curtis of Company I, League of the Cross Cadets, Who Won the Silver Medal at the Quarterly Rally Yesterday. includes the parishes of St. James’,” St. Peter’s and St. Paul’s churches. The principal feature was the first con- test of the second series of essays on “What Drunkenness Costs,”’ by competi- tors from the three parishes. The prize for the most meritorious production and best delivery was a silver medal. The winner will be one of the four district contestants in the final battle at the Me- chanics’ Pavilion a year from August 9. Arthur B. Curtis of St. Peter's Parish, sergzeant of Comvany I, Leagne of the Cross Cadets, captured the medal in a splendid effort of eloquence and rhetorical brillancy. The parish of St. James did not enter the contest, thus leaving the chosen orators of St, Peter's and St. Paul's to strive for the medal. The platform was occupied by Chairman Charles B. Fenn, Rev. P. O. Ryan, Rev. James McDonald, Sergeant A. B. Curtis, Cpmpany I; Lieutenant Charles Skelley, Company I; Captain Peter J. Haggerty, Thomas H. Murlow, Joseph H. Donald- son, Charles Willie, Capiain James H. Reilly, Company fi; Lieutenant James O'Neil, Company K, and Oaptain D. Mc- Carthy, Company E. The rally was opened by a hymn and a prayer offered by Father O’'Ryan, spiritual director of the league, after which was rendered an instrumental duet by Miss Pauha and Mrs. Fenn. Lots were then drawn by the two con- testants for the first reading, which fell to Sergeant Curtis. He spoke in substance as follows: intemperate use of intoxicating liquors is an evil of immense and incalcu- lable magnitude at the present day there are few who will deny; nor will it be questioned by any who have had partici- pation in criminal proceedings that it is one of the most fruitful sources of crime.” He said that the amountof money spent fot liquor all over the world was enormous, and he quoted statistics to show that England expended annually over £125.- 000,000 for alcohol, while America expend- ed $1,474,000,000 annually. “Aside, howe from the immense monetary loss,” he continued, *“and the inevitable misery due to indulgence in lquor its evil effects on man may be taken in three ways: First, on the moral man; second, on the physical, and third, on the spiritual nature.” “Liquor destroys the image of God in man and lowers him to the Jevel of the brutes. No other evil has caused such sorrow and misery. Broken homes, blast- ed hopes and wasted lives result from it. Intellect is ruined and principle is sacri- ficed to it."” The successful young orator was warmly applauded when he sat down. A musical solo by Miss Annie Doyle fol- lowed, after which was & recitation by Bergeant MeCrystal. Then followed the second essay by Joseph D. Donaldson of 8t. Paul’s Parish. He spoke well and received frequent ap- plause. “Our subject,” said he, “is one that com- pletely defies the power of eloguence to describe. The immense sum of money annually in America for drink is drained iargely from the hard-worked laboring classes. “Go to the weeping mother and the heart-broken sister and ask them what sorrow drunkenness causes. Let usnot for- get that the corruption of Rome, Persia and Carthege was caused by intemper- ance.” The glee club of Company A then sang *Just Before the Battle, Mother,”” in a manner that won them much applause. Their singing was followed by the address of the afternoon by Rev. James McDonald of St. Peter's, who said that people \ mother, Mrs. P. J. Brennan of Buffalo, ac companied him. “I have had a delightful trip westward,’” said Mr. Olcott, “‘and feel that it has done me a world of good. “It feels like being at home to be here once more. Idon’t want you to publish that Isaid [ am very fond of San Fran- cisco. People will laugh and say, ‘The old gag’; but, nevertheless, it is so. Some of the happiest days of my life were spent in this City, and I feel as if it were the place in which I made my first success as a singer, even though it was in a modest way. Itis fully twelve years, but it seems like yesterdny that I stood up 1n the ‘first art’ in the Emerson Minstrels and sang he ‘Blue Alsatian Mountains.’ “My life has been rather eventful since then. After pottering around in other minstrel companies, with the ‘Old Home- stead’ and other plays, I went to England d settled down to study singing. an idga of fitting myself for grand opera, and went to work in earnest with that famous old master Alberto Bnndefi:r. “I began to play Irish roles in London. Charles Wyndham heard me sing at a concert one night, and as he had the pro- duction of ‘Miss Helyett' in mind at the time he offered me the part of Don Patricius Julius_ Cwmsar O lunudpn. the Irish toreador. I had no confidenee in my ability to play an Irish character part, never having essayed one, and after re- hearsing it for two weeks became so thor- oughly frightened that I went to Mr. Wyndham and asked to be released from playing it. He was very kind and talked me into trying it. When the opera was produced I made quite a success. The London papers said I did, anyhow, I sang in ‘lfiu&Eyefl Susan’ and other operas while in London and one day re- ceived a communication from Augustus Pitou of New York. *‘When Scanlan broke down, Mr. Pitou walted in vain for same signs of improve- ment and then looked around for some one to fill the comedian’s place. Some friends of his had seen me playing in ‘Miss Helyett,’ and wrote him about my periormance of the Irish_toreador. Bo he sent for me. To go into Irish comedy was to give up the grand opera career which had been the h{l;hl of my ambition; yet to fill a place of such importance in the field offered no shght honor. After thinking it over and get ing some advice, I decided to accept Mr. Pitou's offer. 1 came over to New York, and made my debut in ‘Mavourneen,’ the play in Which I will open at the Oalifornia Theater, “The class of drama which I am giving 1s the realization of a dream of Messrs. Pitou and Scanlan. The latter had been developing up from the simple peasant to something better and had just about reached the acme of bis ambition when he met with his_terrible misfortune, :Mavourneen,’ for instance, is a story of Dublin a hundred ago, when it vied with London and guhu the fashionable center of Europe. As our story deals with the fashionabie set the costumes are very elegant, the minuet, for instance, being need in silks and satins.” ——————————— Another Death by Gas.

WASTHE ONLY MOURNER Strange Discovery of the Body of an Unknown Maa. HAD BEEN DEAD SOME TIME. Dumb Sympathy Exhibited by the Only Friend of the Dead Man. It was by the whims of a dog—a lonely neglected, friendless little creature—that ‘the dead body of an unknown man was found in Laurel Hill Cemetery yesterday. It had lost its master, and for three days it tried to attract the attention of passers- by and lead them to where the body lay. It was followed by a lady yesterday, and bounding along the path it brought her to an unmade grave, and then with a moan it curled up by the head of what had once been its master. The body lay in an unfrequented po tion of Laurel Hill Cemetery and it had evidently been there several days. 1t was that of a man apparently about 60 years of age, attired in a brown suit of clothes, white shirt and biack tie. A much-worn slouch hat lay a few feet from the body, where it was dropped as its owner, it is presumed, stricken with heart dissase, reeled and fell to the ground dead. ‘Without doubt the dead man was the master of the dog. During the last few days the little animal had been frequently seen wandering around the cemetery, A number of attempts to drive it away were unsuccessful; it always returned, and would whine piteously as though in sor- row. Yesterday afternoon Mrs. L. C. Ayer, who resides at 6400 Mission street, had occasion to visit the cemetery. She had not been there long, however, before the peculiar actions of the dog at- tracted her attention. It appeared to be making an attempt to inform her regard- ing some unusual occurrence some dis- tance away. Mrs. Ayer finally decided to follow the dog which had so singularly at- tracted her. She did, and the little mes- senger led her to the body of its master. Mrs, Ayer then notified H. N. Pearson, assistant superintendent of the cemetery, as to her discovery. The Coroner’s office was then notified, and Deputy Coroners O'Brien and Smith went to remove the bodv to the Morgue. When they arrived the little dog went up to the body and, crouching up close by the head, refused to leave. It was carried some distance away in the hope that it would remain, but as soon as 1t was released it hurried back and once more lay down by its master's head. The body was finallv deposited in the re- ceiver, and the little dog, the only mourner, was taken to the cemetery house. The body was taken to the Morgue, but ths forlorn little animal still whines piti- fully in his loneliness. » The latest watch is a marvel of inge- nuity.

The Most Weakening of All the Bad Effects Following Excesses and Indiscretions. PIF CANNOT DESCRIBE THE TOR- ture inflicted upon the victim of Vari- cocele. This disease is a swollen condition of the veins, which become weak and fladby, get blue, ropy, causing impurs cir- culation, unhealthy perspiratien and ex- treme weakness.
