The San Francisco Call. Newspaper, October 4, 1896, Page 19

— THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SUNDAY, OCTOBER 4, 1896. 19 A CLERICAL ROBE THAT COVERS CHECK TROUSERS Schrader has a mild manner and expres- | paper man, but if he writes with the same sion and voice that are well in keeping | utter disregard for rules of English with San Francisco has been treated to & sin- gular spectacle during the past week. An|and every physi ignorant man came to the City wearing a long, flowing black robe over and conceal- ing a light check pair of trouse:s. His hair and beard were worn in the fashion that picture-makers bave given to Jesus Christ. He took up his abode ata cheap Kearny-street hotel, and immediately the street in front of it began to fill up witn people who sought to have him bless them and cure theirills. No credentials were asked of him. His assumption of the likeness of ‘‘the Savior of the world” was not deemed a sacrilege. The fact that any man who chose to “make himself | up”—allow bis hair to grow, trim his | beard and put on the simple robe such as | worn by the Nazarene—could wear some- thing of his likeness was not considered. | Nor was the fact considered that just beneath that single black robe was a pair | of very light check trousers, such as is seen oftenest on the Bowery. Certainly divin- ity has limited its gifts to this man to that of healing. It has withheld from him the gift of speech and of good taste. 1f there be anything in the faith cure— an readily asserts that there is in certain classes of cases—then many apparent cures might result among the throng that goes to this man’s shrine juat as the same may follow and does fol- low a visit to a Chinese joss in proper spirit. For a watcher at the line that passes under his hands must be amazed at the pallor, the awe, the trembling with which they draw near this man with the black robe concealing the check pants. | Mothers teach their children to kneel when in their turn in the line they reach him. An old lady last evening brought ber handbag full of handkerchiefs and “bits of ribbon,” which she asked him to bless, so that she might send them to her friends. She said she thought it woula be ‘“‘easier for him.” He said “Of course,” openad the bag and breathed into it and then held the whole thing up betwaen his hands with that rapt expression that is supposed to do the business. But the old lady was not satisfied with that. She asked him to “bless her,” so that she might have powar to bless others and cure them. This was too much even for the divine healer. He drew a long breath and de- clared that he could not confer a power like that upon any one. That came from God dwrect. ““You must be born with the power to heal,” he said. ‘ “Then you think that it is not my mis- sion?” asked the unhappy woman—un- happy in spite of the bagful of handker- chiefs and ribbons. “No, it cannot be, unless you were born toit,’”’ and he glanced at her gray hairs, as if to emphasize the hopelessness of her case. “Then tell me what is my mission?” she asked eagerly. Ah, this. was drawing upon powers that the healer had not been born with nor had since cultivated. In the matter af standing with uplifted eves, as he had seen Christ do in the pictures, he was all right—that was comparatively easy. He hesitated an instant, and then stumblingly repeated a platitude, ‘““Your mission is to show the way of light, teach about God—I would talk to you, but there are a great many waiting to see me, you see.’” with his profession of power. But in nearly all else he fails. His surroundings and methods are vulgar to the last degree, and stamp him as a faker and mounte- bank, who is blessing the people for what there isinit. He basa bagful of photo- graphs, which represent him in attitudes which have been loaned by familiar prints to Christ. One has him expounding the Scriptures, a large book upon his left arm, his right hand pointing to heaven. Another has him blessing little children, and another with both arms outstretched and eyes cast upward in the attitude of prayer. The people who come for a blessing were by this divine healer handed over to a man who has these pictures for sale. He is a big man, with a threatening scow!l upon his face and a chew of tobacco in bis mouth, and it is with slight iadul- gence that he listens to the occasional whisper: *I will come to-morrow for a picture; I brought no change along.” This fellow professes to have been a news- REROCYCLE INVENTE Two young attorneys of Portland, Or.— T. A. Marguam and H. C. Robertson— during the present lull in business pend- | ing the election of McKinley and Hobart, have invented a new aerocycle. Thisis a flying machine containing an aluminum gas tank and propelled by pedal power. There are many excellent points about their invention, and several experts who have examined the drawings and speci- fications declare that the machine isen- tirely practical. The inventors describe their aerocycle | as follows: “It has a gas cylinder holding 10,000 cubic feet of hydrogen gas, which has a lifting power of 70 pounds to the 1000 cubic feet, giving us a lifting power of 700 pounds. The entire machine is to be constructed of aluminum. The gas cylin- | der is to be revolved by the tandem cycle | hanging beneath it, or by a small gas en- | gine. We can get a Kane-Pennington en- gine weighing only fifty pounds that will | develop four horsepower. | ‘“The gas cylinder carries a double vane, which we calculate at 100 revolutions per minute will drive the cycle through the air at the rate of thirty-nine miles an hour. Beneath the cylinder and just bove the tandem is a horizontal fan, which will remain stationary except when | descending, and is to be used to alight with and also to steady the aegocycle in | ascending. “The tail or rudder is a double vane, one resting horizontal and the other vertical, and is to be hung on a universal joint and will control the motion both vertically and horizontally. “On the flagstaff a parachute will be car- ried always, folded so as to offer as little resistance as possible, but to be immedi- ately opened and ready for duty in case of any accident to the gas chamber. We claim that the whole machine will weigh but 259 pounds and will easily carry two or three men.” Six men and a flying machine, hidden among the sand mountains of Indiana at | the southern end of Lake Michigan, are patiently waiting for a favorable wind, that they may astonish the scientific world by an aerial flight. The most hope- ful man in the party is the inventor. He will be the solitary passenger in the aerial boat when it shoots off its lauching ways and starts on its soaring voyage across the lake. He is William Paul, a Russian by D BY TWO birth, a Chicagoan by adontion. He calls his flying machine the Albatross. It consists of a boat frame nineteen feet long and six feet wide at the upper ribs, | which Mr. Paul contemplates covering with strong oilcloth, so es to transform it into a veritable boat. Above this are what he calls the keels, or three balance tunnels, occupying a width of eight feet, which he talks his newspaper career must have been short. In private these two talk to each other on the familiar footing of show people. The photograph salesman directs the divine healer what to do in the brusque langnage of a stage director and the divine healer follows the directions. The agent talks of ‘‘our successes’” here and there, the big crowds that came to see us in Cin- cinnati and Tennessee and Mexico; of the railroad excursions that were run to carry the crowds in Texas. He explains that but for him the divine healer would not be able to pay expenses or that ‘‘strangers would tske hold of the thing and make more of a business affair out of it than it is.” There had been others before him, he said, and he knew. One of the properties which these peo- ple carry with them 1s a picture of Schrader’s mother, which he says many people have told him is “another Virgin Mary.” The picture is that of a stout, oomior&ble housewife. PORTLAND LAWYERS the central space or tunnel being left open at the top, while the two side spaces are roofed. Above this, again, are the wings, seven feet broad and forty feet in length from tip to tip. These are shaped like the wings of the albatross, being sin- uousin front and of varying concavity from the front to the rear. Above the wingsin the center is fixed an adjustable plane, the angle of which may be varied during flight, so as to bal- ance the machine at various rates of speed. Back of the body of the boat is placed an adjustable tail, which also serves to regu- late the angles of flight. Above this tail there is a vertical rudder, moved by light lines 1eading to the hands of the operator, 80 as to direct the course to the right or left. This Paul machine, under its present di- mensions, weighs nearly 200 pounds, and spreads to the wind 266 square feet of sail estimated that it will raise more than g pound to every square foot of sail surface, or some 350 pounds, in a good strong wind. In consequence of its great dimensions it cannot be carried and launched by the operator, but requires special appliances to get it afloat in the air. These have been provided by building a trestlework on the side of a high hill facing the lake, the top of this trestie being ninety-two feet above the water, with an intervening beach about 400 feet wide. It is intended that the machine shall get under way by gliding down theincline forward by this trestle and soaring out toward the lake. For this purpose a wind is required blowing from the north with a velocity of about fifteen miles an hour; and, unfortunately, since the machine was completed and put together ready for flight, th-re have been but two occasions upon which such a wind prevailed. On the first of these occasions the ma- chine was put into the trestle or launch- ing ways, run out to the free end, and Mr. Paul, the inventor, who weighs 130 pounds, placed himself in the boat. Ropes wers attached to the machine, and it was suffered to rise about 214 feet above the launching ways, Mr. Paul demon- strated that under those conditions he bad apparently complete control over the equilibrium of the machine; that by step- ping backward the front would rise so as to get greater hfting power from the wind, and by stepping forward the ma- surface in wings, keels anda plane. Itis chine would oscillate back. FROM LONE BEGG *“Yes; I've bad many a queer experience in my time right here along Montgomery street, but I can tell you about one in par- ticular that's stranger than fiction. Talk of dramas, if it couid only be put upon the stage as I saw 1t, as it all happened, with the lamplight and the different scenes, the theater wounld be full forever.” Special Police Officer Fields, who looks after things on Montgomery street, be- tween Market and California, was 11 of his remarkable reminiscences. He was one of a little group opposite the Oc- cidental Hotel entrance, and each man | had a story to tell. Being policemen their fferent narratives of something striking in their experience of San Francisco’s streets were sure to be interesting, which indeed they were; but for dramatic and picturesque qualities Ofticer Fields’ yarn was one out of a thousand, even of these plain, unvarnished tales. He continued with his story: *‘One night I was on Montgomery street, pretty near the Russ House door, when a young fellow came up to me and askea for help. That was some years ago, before the streets came to be infested with ‘strikers.’ I looked the young fellow all over—youn know how a man in my business gets into a habit of studying a man’s appearance. Well, there was something in that young fellow, and the funniest part of it was [ was completely at sea. It might have been, I thought on first impression, it might have been he was an innocent, run- away boy who belonged to good people. Anyhow, he puzzled me. I said nothing, | but thought a lot, while I tried hard to make out what kind of a fellow he was. ‘If you please, sir,’ he said to me, ‘I'm hungry and have no money, nor a place to | sleep. Can you help me?’ He spoke so nicely, too, that I said to myself, ‘This boy bas something good in hirm.’ * ‘Where did you come from?' I said to him. “'I came from the country to look for work in 8an Francisco and have been dis- appointed.’ “ ‘Got any folks?' “ Yes, sir,” the boy replied, and he looked at me with an appealing look. ‘I ran away from home.’ “‘He told me that the last work he had done was washing dishes in a restaurantin the City, and he had scalded hisarm terr- bly by accidentally turning on the boiling water. His arm was in a sling, and Icould see that it had been treated by a surgeon AR BOY TO the way it was bandaged. “ ‘Come with me,’ I said; ‘T'll fix you out for the night, but you'll have to go home to your folks to-morrow. This is no place for a boy like you.’ “Then he looked at me again with the same appealing look, and I started to think again about this bdy; he was so much out of place. I tried all the restaurants round | two blocks, but they were closed, and then I took him up to the Russ House dining- room. When he sat down to the table I was struck by the pretty head of short curly bair he bad and his handsome face. I ran my hand through kis hair. ‘That’s a nice head of hair you have,’ I remarked. But he only looked at me again, the same as before, and every time he ‘stnmped me. Itook him around on Bush street to get him a bed for the night, for by this time I'd taken quite an interest in the boy and was curious to know who he was. The landlady of the Elmer House was at the door on Bush street, and as I passed she called me aside. Now it is wonderful how quick 8 woman is in seeing things that a man would never notice. ‘** Mr. Fields,’ she said to me, ‘that's a girl that’s with you! “Ilaughed at her. GLITTERING **Well, I determined to investigate, but, anyhow, I felt for the boy—or girl—and said I would not ask any questions till next morning. 1 got him a bed in the Russ House, and gave him some small change, so that in case I would not see him again he would not be hungry nexi day. From his dress I saw he was a poor country boy, although his face and de- meanor made me believe he was the young son of some gentleman. I told him to meet me about 6 o’clock in ‘the morning, and 1 would advise him what to do. He vromised to pe up at 6, and to wait for me on my beat. But instead he got up earlier and disappeared. Evidently he wanted to avoid me. “About a year later I was on my beat in front of the Lick House about 11 or 12 o’clock at night, when a hack drove up to the hotel. Isaw an old gentleman—a dis- tinguished appearing old man, dressed in a Prince Albert suit and wearing a stylish silk hat. As he stepped to the sidewalk he turned round and helped a beautifully dressed young lady to alight. Evidently they had been at the theater or a society ball, for she was dressed for something of the sort, with silks and satins and dia- monds and wraps—you know how wealthy BELLE ladies dress for the theater. “She took the old gentleman’s arms, and their eyes happened to glance in my direction, I saw that she started, but re- covered herself instantly. ‘Where did I see that face before?” Iasked myself. It was firmly impressed on my memory, but for the life of me I could not place it any- where. Anfl I fell into a brown study overit. The next thing I knew, a lady with & white fur wrap over her head came running toward me, a minute or two later, when I had walked near to Sutter street. She stopped in front of me, and I began to wonder what was coming. * ‘Don’t you remember me?’ the young lady said. 5 “‘I'm sorry I can’t, madam,” I said, ‘though your face is familiar.” * ‘Don’t you remember the boy you be- friended. You liked his curly hair.’ “‘Oh, yes; yes, now I recollect.’ “‘Well, I was that boy,’ she said. ‘I took your advice and returned home, and now how can I repay yon? “She held my hand, and was as glad to see me as if I was her father. I learned afterward that she wasa member of one of the best families of California, but her name is my secret.” PLEASANT 'ADAME BILLON] ZIFFERER gave a delightful reception on Friday even. ing at the Ziska Institute, 1606 Van Ness avenue. Mme.. Zifferer has st returned from & Europeen trip and her | mapy friends took advantage of this occasion | to bid her “ welcome home.” The parlors of the Ziska residence are so | pretty of themselves that but little decoration | is needed. The decorators recognized this fact | and used only vases sud bowis of choice cut flowers to lend to the apartments s festive ap- pearance. During the evening there were & number of excelient musical selections, Mme. Zifferer gave selections from “Carmen” and Noah | Brandt contributed several violin solos. Pro- | fessor Martinez presided at the piano. | Mme. Zifferer received her guests assisted | by Mme. Ziska, Mrs. C. M. Jennings, Miss Mur- | phy, Miss Winans and the Ziska Institute. Mr. and Mrs. 0’'Donnell gave a very enjoyable arty at their residence, 1000 Pine street, in Eonor of their nephew, Frank O’Donnell of Roseburg, Or.

Some otner | personal friends of the guest of honor were present. Mr. Smith presided, and aiter refresh- ments had been served and & few hours of social enjoyment and song, Robert Houden contribuiing the most part in his usually excellent way, George Lawson, on behalf of his fellow workmen, presented the handsome gift in & neat and kindly speech. The marrisge of Mr. Donald and Miss Pollock will take place on the 9th of October, that date being selected as it will be the fiftieth anni- versary of the marrisge (golden wedding) of hlsd eute“emrd parents, who are both still hearty and well. The marriage will be celebrated at Mission Hall. and s large number of guests have been invited 1o the wedding. A birthday party was given to Miss Maud Alice Trittenbach at her residence, 3666 Nine- teenth street, on September 21,0n which oc- casion she was the recipient of numerous ele- gant presents.

HE sailor has his musical shanty to which he keeps time as he trots about the capstan until the anchor is hoisted to the peak, the farmer trills a lay to lighten his labors ashe pitches hay into the wagon, and these songs are familiar to many, but who ever heard orsaw a gang of Italian chicken-pickerssing and denude fowls to the tune of the music? Such a scene can be witnessed any Fri- day evening at the Clay-street market while the employes of the big poultry- houses that have their places of business there are preparing for sale the chickens that the housewife buys for the Sunday dinner, The men seat themselves in a half circle and each takes a fowl. One strokeof a sharp knife across , the ‘throat puts the unfortunate squawking broiler out of its miservs and then the foreman of the gang starts his song. As they catch the air and the time the others chime in and in an instant the plucking begins. With'rhythmic motion the nim- ble fingers grasp the feathers and pull them out during all the time of the song. Feathers fly in all directions, but the song goes on until the last pin-feathers are removed and the carcasses are tossed into a pile, ready for the man who puts on the finishing touches and prepares them for the inspection of prospective purchas- ers. The rapidity with which a chicken is stripped of its feathers is astonishing to the unitiated who has tried it buta few times, and so adept have these men be- come that they finish their fowls aimost simultaneously, and the process is re- peated in umson. Three dozen birds is not considered a heavy night’s work for one man, and when pressed for time they manage to compass even more than - that. The song they singis remarkably lively and sweet, and muc) resembles the song of the fishermen as they row their boats, though the time is much faster. —_—— Throne-Room of the Sultan.
