10 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SUNDAY, AUGUST 30, 1896. 600D TEMPLARS IN KNIGHTLY COUNCIE Representatives From the Bay Counties in Semi- Annual Session. ENCOURAGING REPORTS. Interest in the Order Being Re- newed in the Districts Represented. *“OUR HOPL” WON THE BANNER. A Young San Francisco Lodge Show-d | the Greatest Increase in Mem- bership. The semi-annnal convention of the fifth district, Independent Order of Good Tem- plars, which was held in Pythian Hall yesterday, was one of the most satisfactory | which the district has known for many years. The officials of the order, who have been prominent in temperance work for many years, expressed themselves as elated with the showing which the dele- gates made and the enthusiasm evinced in the work. The aistrict represented in convention yesterday is but one of the nine districts of the State. It, however, comprises the bay counties, and is the most numerous in membership. The order in California at present numbers between 5000 and 6000 members. In 1886 the membership in the State was between 18,000 and 19,000, but at that time the order was carrying on the temperance work almost single-handed. Since then the Women's Christian Tem- perance Union has been organized and the churches have commenced temperance work in their own organizations, This has seriously affected the membership of the order, but it remains an active and flourishing frater: An important fea- ture of the order is its juvenile branches, the Band of Hope and Juvenile Temples, which have now a membership of about 3500 in the State. The forenoon’s session was devoted to routine work and organization, A. H. Finkleman presiding in the absence of District Chief Charles Winchell. At 12 o’clock the delegates partook of a collation which had been prepared by the local sub- ordinate lodge. Informal speeches were made by many prominent members of the order. In the afternoon District Deputy Charles Winchell of Vallejo presided. District Superintendent of Juvenile Work Mrs. S. Kerrigan rendered her report, which was full of encouragement. t showed over 1000 members of temples and bands of nope in the district. The finance committee reported that all biils had been paid and there was a bal- ance in the treasury. 1t was reported mn} | - | Judge R.

Patterson_was elected delegate | to the State Grand Lodge, which meets in Vallejo the second Tuesday in O:tober. | Mrs. Plymire was elected aiternate. | Officers for the ensuing, term were elected as follows: District chief templar, | A.

Freidrich of San Francisco; district secretary, Miss Lilac of San Fran- | cisco; district treasurer, Mrs. M.

Thompson of this City. PastGrand Chief | Templar Judge Thompson has been a pas templar for three years, and has been con nected with the order ever since its or- ganization in this State, extending over a eriod of forty years. An Orphans’ | Home at Vallejo is conducted by the order, and all of his spare time is devoted to its interests. “About a year ago,” he said, “the children were much in need of mitk. | I sent word to THE CALL and an article ap- peared calling attention to the fact.

The Work of a Danish Missionary Among the Children cf the Foreign Poor. Among the arrivals on the steamer Rio de Janeiro yesterday was Miss Elizabeth Nyup, a Danish missionary who has been working among the poor people in the in- terior of China. The self-sacrificing lady has toiled for eight years there, and has established a chool for blind children and waifs gener- ally. In this school, which is a sort of kindergarten in some ways, she teaches the blind to read and write as well as the others and instructs all the children in sewing, knitting and other work. What has attracted attention to the missionary now, however, are two little waifs, which accompany her, and which she will take with her to her native land. One of these is a little Tuoglish child 21¢ years old, wi ose parents died and left it in want, and the other is only 114 vears old, a child of Chinese and Jewish parents. These children are to receive a complete edpeation abroad, or at least as complete as Miss Nyup is able to secure for them. After her long years in China she will have a vacation for several months at least. On leaving the ship she went to the home of friends in Oakland, taking the two little waifs with her. They are pright children. | whence Hulmston took it to Ogden, arriving | | one hour ahead of schedule time. RELAY PACKET WAS CAPTURED. Couriers Intercepted Ten Miles This Side of Ogden. AT RESTORED ECHO. Riders Did Not Pass Through Either Salt Lake or Ogden. SPZED OVER THE WAHSATCH Gr.nger, Wpyo., Passed at 10:24 ¢'Clock Last Night—Due at Raw- lins This Afternooa. The great bicycle relay of the San Fran- cisco ‘Examiner and New York Journal caused intense public excitement at Ogden and Salt Lake yesterday morning. The relay riders were expected to arrive at an early hour, but the throngs assembled to give an ovation were soon disturbed by rumors that the couriers bearing the packet had been intercepted and over- powered west of Ogden. Conflicting accounts come by wire from the scene. A special dispatch to THE CALL gives this version: { SALT LAKE, UraH, Aug. 29.—Heavy rains | in the desert west of this city necessitated a change in the route of the transcontinental bicycle race, so that the package was brought vin Ogden instead of direct to Salt Lake. At Terrace, Utah, a dispute arose between the Salt Lake and Ogden riders for the possession | of the package, and a lively but harmless gun- lay was indulged fn, with the result that the gden men got the package. Fowler carried it to Grow's rancn. From | there it was conveyed to Kelton by Harris who | punctured his tire and finished the dislnnce‘ on foot. Rev. Mr. Suow brought it to Willard, | there at 6:24 this morning. From Ogden it | was taken directly east without touching at Salt Lake by the Ogden riders contrary to agreement and reached Echo at 11:22 . M., ahead of time. From Echo, Hart and Shipley of Salt Lake bore it on cast. The picket ar- rived at Wahsatch at 1:34 P. ., at Pledmont, Wyo..at 4:45 P. M, and at Carter, Wyo., at 6:40 P. M. Granger, Wyo., 944 miles from San Fran- cisco, was Teachél at 10:24 to-night, the sctual | riding time being four days nine nours and | twenty-four minutes, one hour being gained | through the change irom Puclfic to mountain | standard time. The couriers are now about | The following telegrams received by the Examiner give another version of the| divergence, and indicate that neither Salt Lake nor Ogden got a sight of the packet: OGDEX, Aug. 20 —Change of route was put up job ana neatly executed. Ogden Standard hinted at-it this evening. | SALT LAKE, Aug. 29.—A horseback rider has ‘]ust reported at Ogden that this evening about | o'clock he saw two bicyclists riding through Echo Canyon, hegaded for Echo, Utah. OGDEN, UTAH, Aug. 29.—The Ogden Stan- dard this morning said: That programme will be carried outif no accident befall, and in case | the rider bringing the packet into Ogden does not get on the wrong road. SALT LAKE, UTAH, Aug. 29.—War message was scheduled to arrive here at7 o'clock this morning. Last heard of ten miles west of Og- den at 5:45. Ogden has no news and courier cannot be foun Wildest excitement here.. OGDEN, Aug. 29.—Jack Ledwidge, who had charge of relay between Terrace and Corinne, admits that the relay had fione through to Echo, and says the packet will save five hours thereby. He disclaims personal knowledge of plot. but says he is proud of Ogden couriers. OGDEN, ‘Aug. 29.—Reley is not_ reported from Echo. Changed at Corinue, thirty miles west of here at 6:30 A. M. Afterward seen in Ogden Canyon. People are crazy over their success in foo/ing Salt Lake. : OGDEN, UtaH, Aug. 29.—The packet has been kidnaped after all. Ogden .boys did it this time. They sneakea through Ogden .| Canyon in the night, thus avoidinz both Og- den and Sait Lake for the sake of humiliating the State capital. SALT LAKE, UTAH, Aug. 29.—Owing to bit- ter rivalry between Salt Lake and Ogden, wheelmen™ have probably caused the Ogden riders to change the route, leaving out Salt Lake Clt\{, Excited crowds here. OGDEN, Aug..29.—Public demonstration here against Reshel, who pears himself like a lion. Hoodlums tie crepe to his bicycle, but he lnuihs them to scorn. OGDEN, Aug. 29.—Reshel, the giant Salt Lake manager, is-cast down but not destroyed. He is loyal to the relay, and will pull it through his division. He is jumping a freight- car East for that purpose. OGDEN, Aug. 29.—Relay is repotted from Echo. e men rode through the now noted Ogden Canyon, crossing the diyide into Weber Canyon at Mountain Green at dead of night. Another special from Salt Lake says: After all the Ogden riders did not come up to Salt Lake schedule by over four hours, in- stead of beating it as they hoped. They did not reach Echo till 11:05, making 17 hours and 5 minutes from Terrace. Original desert route from Terrace to £cho through Satt Lake called for 13 hoursand 2 minutes. The relay riders arrived at Blue Creek at 1:06 A. M. %estel'duy; Hot Springsat 5:02 A. Peterson, Utah, 9:07 . M. ; Echo, 11:05 A. . Castle Rock, 12:51 . M.; Wahsatch, 1:34 P, M. Ned Heweti made a wonderful uphill ride from Castle Rock to Wahsateh, the peak of the mountains, in forty-three minutes, beating his schedule time ten minutes. Evanston was reached at 2:06 p. M. Gullibar did the eleven miles in thirty-one minutes, the fastest time yet made. Herritt trailed him all the way, making twenty-two miles in 1 hour 15 min. The pwk?t reached Granger, Wyo., at 10:24 o'clock last night. It should have arrived there, according to the schedule, at 5:42 p. M. The packet is due at Rawiins, Wyo., at 2:45 P. M. to-day, but the chances are that this point will not be reached before 5 o’clock. Crossing the Laramie plains some lost time should be made up. From the summit of the | Rockies to Omaha, & distance of 600 miles, much time lost west of the Continental Divide should be regained. RFCORD-BREAKING CHEESE, Monster Dairy Creation Which Is the Product of Tons of Milk, A notable exhibitat the Mechanics’ Fair will be an immense cheese, perhaps the largest in the memory of man, in this State at least. The cheese stands two feet high and is two aund one-half feet in diameter and weighs exactly 658 pounds. It was built at the Fallon creamery in Marin County and arrived at tbe Dairy- men’s Union store at 113-119 Davis street vesterday. It contains 822 gallons, or 6580 pounds, of milk. It was made by the cheddar process, under the supervision of F. P. Pearson, who is one of the greatest experts in the State and who will be the instructor in the manulacture of butter and cheese at the dairymen’s exhibit at the State Fair, which opens in Sacra- mento on Tuesday. The quarter-ton_exhibit is not intended merely as an object-lesson to lovers of cheese. All the cheddar of the latter product comes from the East and Cali- fornia creameries have found it difficuit to compete with this variety. Calitornia cheese is all made for immediate sale, while cheddar, as is known, is not fit for use until it has been cured at least six months. If the California product of cnheddar is a success it is predicted that it will sweep the Eastern article out of the market. SPYING OUT THE LAND OF PROMISE Arrival of Congressman McCall and Vice-Chair- man Apsley. . SOLID FOR MKINLEY. Only a Half Dozen Southern States Will Go for Bryan and Silver. AN ENTHUSIASTIC REPORT. Workingmen All Over the Union Will Not Support the Democracy aud Free Coinage. Congressman McCall and wife of Massa- chusetts and Mr. and Mrs. L. D. Apsley, the former the vice-chairman of the Re- publican National Congressional Com- mittee, arrived last night from the East and were met at the Palace Hotel by, Major Frank McLaughlin, chairman of the Re- publican State Central Committee, and by Mr. Higgins, secretary of the com- mittee. The visitors will remain in this State long enough to go over the political ground, and then they will visit Oregon and Washington. To-day the party will be the guests of John D. Spreckels and will make a voyage around the bay and its approaches in Mr. Spreckels’ yacht. When questioned by a CALL reporter as to the purpore of his mission Mr. Apsley said: *It was thought desirable on the part of the officers of the committee to have definite and exact information regarding the situation in the various Congressional districts throughout the country and, as vice-chairman of the committee, I have visited Indiana, Michigan, Iliinois, Ne- braska, and the other States on the line of the Union Pacific to California, and I ex- pect to return through the States lying on the border of Canada. **My colleague, Congressman McCall, has accompanied me at my invitation for the purpose of making speeches, as I thought it advisable to hold meetings along our route. He has spoken in Michi- gan, and in nearly every State from Michigan westward the meetings have been very enthusiastic and great crowds have turned out to hear him. I expect to hold several meetings in the Pacific Coast States, “I bave been very favorably impressed with the strong sentiment for McKinley which I find everywhere. The Republi- cans have no ground for fear in any of the Northern States east of Nebraska, and in Nebraska the Republicans have gone to work with an excellent prospect of carry- ing it. I believe that the majorities in all the Northern Stites east of the Missouri River will be overwhelmingly for McKin- ley. The people there are not to be misled by the appeals to prejudice which the Democratic candidate is sending torth. They know Mr. Bryan to be the Demo- cratic free-trader who made such a noise in favor of free trade four years ago, and they are not fools enough to swallow any more of his guack medicine. “] am strongly of the opinion from what I have seen that the half dozen States of the broken South with perhaps three or four of the small mining States will be all he will be able to carry, and they remember the times they had in this country up to four years ago.and they will not repeat the blunder of 1892. They don’t care to have the Democratic party perform them any lunger, no matter what promises they may make.” Mr. Apsley reported having had an ex- cellent meeting at Colorado Springs, in Colorado, where he found a strong senti- ment for McKinley. Congressman Mc- Call spoke there and Mr. Apsley held a meeting in Colorado City, which was one of the most enthusiastic meetings he ever addressed. b Congressman McCall is the authorof the expression, ‘‘pressing a crown of thorns upon the brow of Iabor.”’ Mr. Bryan, typically Democratic, stole thisZiphrase to manufacture cheap campaign thunder, Ocean View Grievance. The members of the Mission Improvement Club preferred to devote last night to listen- ing to good sound Republican doctrine as ex- pounded by the Hon. M. M. Estee and other able speakers at the Auditorium than debating upen improvements, consequently the ques- tion of sewerage and other needed improve- ments, for which the residents of that section are clamoring, was unavoidably left over un- til the next meeting of the club, when action will be taken in assisting the property-owners to get the relief so necessary for their comfort, —————— Only twenty-four white elephants have been captured since the beginning of the Christian era.
