THE SAN FHANCISCO CALL, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 18, 1896. A WORD FOR THE - CATHOLIC KNIGHTS Father Yorke's Spirited Address in Metropoli- tan Temple. AIMS OF THE SOCIETY, It Has Paid $7,000,000 in Bene- fits Since Its Organi- zation. NO LI'I“IGATED DEATH CLAIMS, An Organization Whose Charity Is Always Ready and Uni- versal. A musicel and literary entertainment and a lecture by Rev. Father P. C. Yorke were given last evening at Metropolitan Temple under the auspices of the Catholic Knights of America. The letters of red and gold, peculiar to the temple, por- trayed across the frontof the pipe organ the words in glittering charaéters, ‘‘Cath- olic Knights.” If the temple had been a theater playing a popular drama the legend “standing- room only’’ ought to have been displayed atthe main entrance before 8 o’clock. Every cbair in the temple was taken, people crowded the side and rear aisles, and the terraces of steps in the gallery were improvised as seats. A. J. McMahon was chairman. He made a brief speech, and introduced each feature of the programme. the founding of the organization of the Catholic Knights of America in 1877, and stated thaton four different occasions the society had received the blessing of the Pope. He stated that 1700 of the reguniar Roman Catholic clergy carry a certificate in the order; that the order had paid $7,000,000 in benefits since its organiza- zation, $162,000 in San Francisco, and bad never liv.lgned a single death claim. In his opening remarks Father Yorke referred to the colors of red and white in which the hall was ornamented. He said he did not know just what they meant at first. He thought they might refer to free silver and the Roman right hand until he heard that they were the remnants of a recent free-silver meeting. He thought at first that they might be a delicate com- pliment to the blood which has been seen “in the moon out on Valencia street.” The subject of Father Yorke's address was “The Catholic Knight's of America.”’ He said substantially: "You know this is an age of organiza- tion. Men and women have gone into so- cieties in order to advance their interests. 1f we look in the social or political world we find anything that it is worth doing at all is done by organization. We find the Catholic church is not behind the times in this. Bheis progressive ia the matter of organizations. She is for this world as well as for the next. She wishes her chil- dren not only to be abreast of the times, but to be ahead of the times. “If there is one virtue needed by men, young and old, it is the virtue of stead- fastness and vprudence. No man is abso- lutely alone in the world. Itis his duty to see that there is before him such com- fort as « modest provision wauld give, It is not humare or_Christian to leave pos- terity in _want. No man has a right to bring children into the world unless he provides for them. “Theridea of the family is that it is something continuous. Unfortunateiy in our day the family seems to be only a name. That in fact is not the case. The head of the family should see and provide that if he be taken away the family will live in peace and comfort afterward. Few, however, do this, “There are a large number of million- aires, but no one cares to inquire too cerefully how they got their money. Men should strive to provide for those that come after them. Bocieties which look after the widow and the children after the head of the family is away are, to my mind, one of the best features of our civilization. The Catholic Knights of America seek to be such & society and to preserve that Christian institution, the Christian home. “Can you imagine how much comfort has been given by $7,000,000 paid to bene- ficiaries since 18777 It was not given as 2 charity, but given as a rizht. [Applause.] “‘One of the objects of this meeting is to bring before Catholic men tne objects of this society. We should be prepared for both riches and poverty. It would be well for young men starting out in the battle of life to remember that the future has ciaims and that wife and childaren should not be left to cold charity, It is your duty to insure yourself with benefit societies, so that if you are taken away something may be left to those who are dependent upon you. > i “These societies have their spiritual and intellectual good as well. The day has passed when Catholics need to apologize for organizing as Catholics. Men know that in this City we are in the majority, but defenseless. “There is 8 necessity for Catholics or- ganizing, but not on political lines, thank God. But we want no man to understand that he can override us, because we are of areligion that is guaranteed us by the constitution. Two years ago strangers came out of the woods and declarzd that Catholics were not loyal. Was there a paper in San Francisco that came to your defense? No. If your rights are worth having they are worth fighting for. Itis the duty of Catholics to stand togetuer | for their rights.” It was announced that the next lecture under the auspices of the Ladies’ Liberal League would be given September 21, in- stead of Beptember 28. The literary and musical programme rendered was well appreciated, and called forth much ap- plause. WTH BABE. KNUCKLES Two Young Men Fight a Des- perate Battle in the Mission. Twenty-Eight Bloody Rounds in a Local Clubroom—The Result a Draw. 1t took twenty-eight rounds of desperate bare knuckle slogging early yesterday morning to settie a grudge lhn!. has existed for a long time between Jimmy Brit, once champion bantam-weight of the coast, and Frank Lawlor, another well- known athlete whose doingsin the fistic arena have made him quite prominent. Britt and Lawlor were formerly friends, but bad a falling-out, some say, over a member of the fair sex, and their greet- ings have recently been very frigid when they met, Recently it came to the ears of one of the men that the other was making He spoke of | desparacing remarks about his abilities as a boxer, and a challenge 10 fight to a finish with bare fists was the result. Both men are members ofa well-known athletic club in the Mission that has turned out a great many good boxers, and on the challenge being accepted it was decided to hold the match there. The location of the ring was kept an absolute secret until the last minute, and while the fighters were in training no one except a fuvored few knew where the mill was to take place. It was shortly after midnight yesterday mornicg when the men were called into the ring by the referee, a well-known sporting man. Both men were 1n a con- dition that promised a long and desperate engagement. The men were ready and Willing, and the effect of the fierce rallies in which they engaged soon began to show on their faces. Lawlor's lips began to look puffy before the end of the third ,round, and he was a Il;“'l: more cautious as he stepped about ritt. From the third to the twelfth round the fighting was fast, but both men bad bel- lows to mend and they took things easier until the twentieth round, when another fierce rally nearly resulted in Britt going out from a right-hand swing that landed on his neck, He recovered in the next round, and from that to the twenty-eighth round he had = shade the best of the argument, Lawlor being tired. As there seemed to be litile chance of a finish beifig seen for many rounds to come and as both men were terribly punished, the referee called the match a draw. Both will be confined to the house for days be- fore their faces will b= presentable. FRENCH' LECTURES. The Rev. M. Dupuy Inaugurates a Course at the First Uvitarian Church. The members and friends of the Chan- ning Auxiliary have secured the services of the Rev. M. Dupuy, pastor of the French Reformed Church, for a series of French lectures, to be given in the audi- torium of the First Unitarian Church, on the southwest corner of Franklin and Geary streets.

FOUND DEAD ON THE SOFA Achille Waldteu'el Passes Away Under Most Peculiar Circumstances. The Gas Turned On, but It Is Be. lieved to Have Been the Result of an Accident. Achille Waldteufel, general manager of the Catholic Art and Book Company, 723 Market street. was found dead in the par- lor of his home, 414 Van Ness avenue, yesterday morning. The deceased was lying on the sofa when discovered. One of the gas jets was turned on in full force, the doors and windows tightly closed, in- dicating suicide, though the family pro- tests that death was the result of accident. “It could not have been suicide,” said Mrs. Waldteufel. *‘There was no reason why he should do such a thing, Iam sure it was the result of an accident.” Furtber than this the family do not care totalk. This reiicence has probably given rise to the suicide theory. Yesterday morning Mrs. Wood, who rents the upper flat of 414 Van Ness avenue to the Waldteufels, perceived a strong odor of gas. She traced the odor to the front parlor, which 1s used exclu- eively by her tenants. She called her son and the two proceeded into the room. On the sofa lay Mr. Waldteufel apparently asleep. Young Wood first found the jet from which the gas was flowing, and stopping that hastily opened ail the doors and win- dows. Dr. Mattuer, who lives near by, was hastily summoned, and as soon as he saw the man pronounced him dead. Just when death occurred is not known, though the body was warm when found. Deputy Coroners Smith and Hallett were called, but were unable to learn whether death was the result of suicide or of accident. Mr. Waldteufel bas not been well for a long time, asthma being the particular trouble. For the last four nights be has slept on the parlor sofa. Last night he was lying on the sofa when his wife re- tired at 9 o' clock. He was reading a news- aper at the time, and it is presumed that gnally becoming sleepy, he attempted to turn off the gas, but only partially suc. ceeded. It is said that the business in which Mr., Weldteufel was engaged has not been very prosperous of late, though this is not given as any reason why he should com- mit suicide. Recently he hds moved from the street floor to some rooms upstairs in the History Building. The deceased has been in the book busi- ness in this City for the last twenty years, He was a natiye of France and about 66 yearsold. He leaves a wife and several grown sons and daughters, ail of whom were partnérs in the Catholic Art and Book Company. R — ILLEGAL FIsHING. Many Arrests Made Within the Past Few Lays. The Deputy Fish Commissioners are do- ing fine work in breaking up illicit fishing in the streams of the State. Deputy A.W. Wilson arrested six men ten miles from Modesto for catcuing salmon in a barbar- ous affair, These fellows had a rabbit-tight wire fence sirung across the Tuolumne River. It was so arranged that the fish were run into a small wing, from which they were tossed with pitchforks by the lawbreakers. As this is the closed season and the fish were running up the river to spswn, the fishermen were charged with ecatchin, salmon out of season. Their cases wil come up on Monday. Deputy Davis landed another illegal fisner on Wednesday at the mouth of Montezuma Slough jor fishing in the ciosed salmon season. He got the fellow’s net. This makes the sixth net confiscated this week in the upper bay. ———— CHINESE S.ABBING AFFRAY. Yee Kee, a Merchant, Wounded by Wong Won, a Highbinder.

The Lyre Francaise Will Celebrate the Proclamation of the Republic. A local musical French society, the Lyre Krancaise, has organized for next DEMOCRATS IN THE DOOR They Must Work for Cator for United States Senator. TERMS OF THE COMPACT Mr. Cator Says He Is the Logical Candidate of the Demo- crats. HE REPRESENTS THE DCCTRINE Which Is the Cornerstone of Democe racy, and He Expects Demo- cratic Support.

Perron, will alternate with the Carnot Harmony Society, directed by Hue-Paris, in rendering pairiotic airs. “The Mar- seillaise” wxfi be sung by M. Gouignou, States Senatorship. The terms of the res- olution of union agreed to by the Demo- crats and Populists of this State as a basisof joiut uction seem to warrant the statement that he has the Democrats in the door. Mr. Cator started for Fresno last night. He took along a satchel well filled with siatistical and othar information. He made no secret of the fact where he was going, and offered no coy denial that he was on political business bent, when he was asked by a reporter for THE CALL about politics from his point of view. In fact, be said, with every indication of firm conviction, that he would know very soon more about the Democratic-Populistic union nominees for seatsin the Legisla- ture than he knows now. Expressing tue matter briefly and in matter-of-fact fashion, Thomas V. Cator started out last night on another of those tours through the S:ate of which more or less has been said, and the main purpose he had in view was to see that his political fences were put into the best condition soulble to meet climatic vicissitudes inci- ental to the political monta of Novem- ber. He said that he has been touring some. He has talked about the United States Senatorship with the masses or reo- resentative members of the same. He has considered carefully the attitude of the Democratic leaders in this State who are pledged under thre resolution bv which fusion between the Democrats and Popu- lists was effected to help elect such me: bers of the Legislature as are jointly nom- ipated. “I am a candidate for the United States Senltorsbigls a matter of course,” said Mr. Cacor, briskly, “and I am supposed to be and am working to succeed. But [ do not want to be placed 1n a false position in this matter. "‘The Populist party has mapped out for itself and has pursued a different programme in reference to the United States Senatorship from that of the other parties. It has made its nomi- nation alreadv for the Senatorship. It has placed me'in the position of standard- bearer in this matter. Do you mnot see thatIam in a different position than I would be if I were personally seeking the election? “The Populists, when they nominated me for United States Senator, undoubt- edly expected that I would work to the best of my ability to carry out their views. The terms of the union of the Populists and Democrats under the resolution adopted to effect fusion, pledged both Y‘art‘ies to support t! e nominees for the egislature who are named jointly. I have no doubt of the good faith of the Democratsin this matter. I find that the rank and file of the people, Democrats and Populists, favor my election as Sena- tor. This does not take account of the gold Democrats, who are so few that they count very little, and of them I have taken little account.” “Do you mean to say, Mr. Cator, that the resolution to effect fufion pledged the Democrats to favor the election of the nominee of the Popuiists for the position of United States Senator?” “No, Ido not mean to say that and do not wish to be understood that way. I think you will agree that I am the logical candidate for the United States Senator- ship from either side of the house—Demo-~ cratic or Populist. So far as the Popu- list nomination is concerned, I think that I can say that it has been won fairly, I bave worked in the free silver cause six years and have upheid the principles of the Populist party all through. Mr. Bryan makes the advocacy cf the free coinage of silver at the ratio of 16 to 1 the leading issue of the campaign. I velieve in that fully. The Senator who will be elected trom Califor- nia should be in full sympathy with the nominee for the Presidency of both the Populists and the Democrais.” “Why do you think that the Democrats will support you for the United States Senatorship?’ | “Well, I have already said that I find none of the leaders are hostile. I also | find that the rank and file are friendly. The terms of fusion or union, under the resolution, took in joint action on Legis- lature, Congressman and President.” i “But have you assurances of the sup- port, such assurance being personally re- ceived, from all the fusion candidates for the Legislature who have been named ?” Mr, Cator fenced with this question and diplomatically answered that he had not yet talkted with all the nominees. *“I will soon know better how they stand,” he said. “It would be interesting to know what progress you have made in the interior, Mr. Cator.” “Eh?” said Mr. Cator. “Eh, what is that?? “How many voters are you sure of up to date?” The Populist leader smiled, and into his eyescame a far-away look, in which hope and diplomacy seemed to be about equaily apportion«d, *‘Ah, yes; I have not talked with all the nominees, so I do not know,”’ *‘Well, you know of some ?’’ Mr. Cator smiled again, but he did not mention any names. “I want to say once more,” he said, “that I am making this contest because I am instructed to do so by my party. It is the interest of she Democratic party to secure the election of a United States Senator who is entirely in sympathy with Mr. Bryan. I believe that the union ticket will carry California. I think that it 1s generally recognized that Iam the legitimate caudidate.’ Mr. Cator arrived at the ferry in advance of the time for the boat to depart and put in his leisure time discussing the sitnation with other travelers, principally from the interior, who had congregated at the ferry and were awaiting 10 "begin their home- ward journey. In this way he may have collected a little more information about the outlook. FISTIC AFFAIRS. Tracey and Green Have Agreed Upon a Postponement of Their Match. The Occidental Athiletic’ Club will give its next entertainment on Thursday even- ing, October 8.
