10 AID ABUSED COMPATRIOTS The Knights of Tara Hold Their Second Annual Picnic. Proceeds to Swell the Fund for the Benefit of Irish Prisoners. THE DAY A GREAT SUCCESS. Aun Attractive Programme and Prize List—Music by the Hibernian Military Band. It was perfect holiday weather yesterday and the Irish population took advantage of that circumstance to flock in crowds to the second grand annual national picnic and reunion held at Shell Mound Park under tue auspices of the Knights of Tara. The latter, who form a flourishing local organization of some two years’ standing, received able assistance from their coun- trymen belonging to the Kaichts of the Red Branch, the K. R. B. Kifles and the Wolie Tone Club of Oakiand. The picnic and reunion yesterday had a distinctly patriotic object in view, ulterior to and even more important than that of mere personal enjoyment. cash proceeds will be specially devoted to the fund for the benetit of the Insh pris- oners recently released from English dun- geons. The enthusiasm inseparable from a worthy cause always seems to be conta- gious, and it is therefore nct surprising that several of the prize-winners yesterday should contribute their money to the fund in question. Both Miss May Donaghue and Tim Murphy, champion lady and gentle- | man jig and reel dancers of the day, volun- teered to make this sacrifice lor the good of the cause, and their generosity was re- warded by the plaudits of the muitituae. The programme of sports was most en- joyable. Thcre were special races for the Cnights of Tara, the Knizbts of the Red Branch and the Wolfe Tone Club, thougn the most interesting sporting features of the afternoon were first and foremost—in view of the Iristman’s proverbial gal- lantry and love of beauty—the ladies’ races, and next after those a one-mile bicycle race. In the last named Clarence Newman, a young rider, came in first, a good half-lap or more ahead, with A. Pluschkell second. The third starter tried to steal the pole from Pluschkell and earned a fall thereby, | but escaped injury. The list of gate prizes was unusually comprehensive in character, and included numerous attractive objects in kind which were occasionally ous of place when the winner chanced to be of tender years. The music for the dancing and the sports was furnis ed by the Hibernian military band, and was in keeping with the occa- sion. The commitiees in charge yester- day were as fodows: Committee of arrsngements—J. B. Cosgrave (chairman), John Sheehan, Micuael Corley, Thomas McGuin, Hugh Dolan, John Heunessy, Pairick Kearney, John Creighton, Charles B Flanagsn, Frank Monaghan, Michael McGrath, Michael Corley.

THREE TEOUSAND AWHEEL Cyclers Expected to Make a Great Showing in the Parade To-Night. Many Contestants for Priiel Offered for Fancy Costumes and Elab- orate Decorations. It will be the greatest bicycle parade ever ‘ seen in this City, say the managers of the cyclers’ demonstration which is to take place this evening. Already 1500 club- men have signified their intention to par- ticipate, and it is estimated there will be fully that many unattached wheeimen in line. Captain G. W. Wittman is to have charge of the police provided for the occa- sion, and, with twenty mounted officers and 250 patrolmen, he promises to be able to keep the crowds back to the sidewalk In order that the spectators may be sufficiently distributed to allow them to see the parade without crowding a long iine of march has been drawn up, as ioi- lows Starting at Post street op te the Olympic Club to Kearny, to Market. to den Gate arenue, to Webster, to Ful- ton, to Van Ness to Market. All contestants for prizes will be re- quired to ride the entire distance, and in addition there will be a special parade of all competitors before the judges’ stand on Van Ness avenue. George A. Knight bas been appointed president of the judges’ committee, and will have the deciding vote in case of s tie, In addition to the prizes already an- nounced the Merchants' Association bas | The | Hurley, | Andrew Meehan, Michael | donated s beautiful piano lamp, which will be preseuted to the organization hay- ing the best float. So far sixty-nine names of competitors for prizes have been left with the committee. Many more are ex- pected to day. e e FAVORS THE CHURCH. Dr. Dille Non-Partisan, but Advo- cates Placing the Government in Good Hands. Ina prelude to his evening discourse last night Rev. E. R. Dille spoke on the necessity of placing the municipal gov- ernment in the hands of honest men. He said among otter things: “We need men that will not give the streets to corporations through a corrupt bargain, but who will cunduct the City’s business on the same principle as direc- tors conduct the business of the corpora- tions with which they are entrusted. “When directors of corporations meet for the transaction of business they donot bring their politics to bear on how tley should vote, and it should be the same with the City officials. “The municipalities of Edinburgh, Lon- don and Birmingham are not governed by the national politics. In London there are 128 Councilmen, including lords, earls and commoners, and no man can tell from their actions to which political party they belong. As a conseauence, Birmingham pays 60 cents a thousand for gas and has water at the lowest possiblie price.” In conclusion the speaker held that the affairs of S8an Francisco cught to pe ad- ministered on purely business principles, ana that such a course would be the prayer of every true patriot. A FISHY FIGHT. | Fierce Battle Between a Sealion and a | Shark in the Bay Yesterday. | Yesterday morning R. Crowley, . J. | O'Neil, H. Leech and Charles Barry, mem- | bers of the Pioneer Rowing Club, were out | in their boat off the sugar refinery when they witnessed a strange conflict. It was a fierce and bloody battle between a sea- | lion and a shark. This unusual specta- | cle attracted the young men and they drew as near the aquatic fighters as they | dared. The two sea creatures fought savagely, plunging at each other and often bouna- | ing high in the air in their struggles. It | wasa full grown sealion and the shark | | appeared to be about ten or twelve feet {long. The foaming water around was | dyed red and the seal appeared to be get- ting the better of the watery argument. Finally the combatants disappeared, the | | shark apparently withdrawing from lhei | contest. | CASE 1O FATHER YORKE He Advises the Chancellor to Disband the Young Men's Institute. The Catho'ic C ergyman R primanded for Asking Captain Taylor for a Pladge. Rev. Dr. Case devoted himself to a dis- | cussion of Rev. Father Yorke at the How- | | ard-street Methodist Church last night, in- | cidentally dwelling on what he termed “the pernicious influence of the Roman Catholic church on American politics.” | He began by saying tuat the American Protective Association hud done much to | secure liberty in American polities. *“A few years ago,” he said, “and only a little | while betore the American Protective As- | | sociation, 1 saw s ticket contsining thirty- | | six names and thirty-two of them were | | Roman Catholics. In the face of this | Chancellor Yorke has the effrontery to teil | us that the Pope and his priests take no hand 1n American politics. *“Why, the Romau Catholic church is notaing but a political machine. It never saves souls. Pope Pius, the man that had | been made an earthly god, had masses | said for the release of his soul out of pur- | | gatory. Archbishop Hughes, wLo has | been dead for quite a number pf vears, has masses said for bringing his soul out gf 1‘1““ place that is 99 degrees hotter than ell. “Yes, the hat 1s being passed around annuslly for the collection of money for the release of those men’s souls. Their church is a begging institution. “In Washington the Sisters—but I must not speak of those indies disrespectfully— go around the . fiices collecting from the ! | clerks on the 1st of every month. ~Father Yorke says be regrets the pres- | and so does the Pope, because the associa- | | tion has put an estopvel on the work of | | the Roman church and made the Catho- | | lics loyal. | Baumgartner 66, T. |3 1 ence of the A. P. A.’s. I dare say he does, | & “You don't see the green rag hoisted above the Stars and Stripes now, but you | | would see it only for the presence of the | |A. P A's. | “The Chancellor wants peace, does he? | | Well, I will telt him how he can procure | peace. | “Let bim disband the Y. M. L, that so- | ciety that has its red hand in politics do- | | ine the bidding of the church. | . “The Cbancellor says it is enough to| damn the A. P. A.'s because Traynor, its | anidont, kept a whisky shop in Canada. f this be so what is to become of the | Catholics? Didn't Buckley keep a saloon | | | and isn’t he a Catholic? “Who is this man who represents the old man on the Tiberthat dare ask Cap- | ‘;forlpledie? Who is he that sinks the County Clerk into perdition because he | conducts his office as it suits himself, without a king the man from Rome whom | he should gnt into his office? Who is | this man that damns George Elder be- cause he does not belong to his church? Elder wishes to be let alone, but Yorke won't let him alone. “This Chancellor wants the Roman lion | and tbe Proteatant lamb to lie down in | peace together. But if ever that recon- | ciiiation takes place the lamb will be in- | side of thelion. Yorke wouil make us | believe that the only men who fought and died for this country were Catholics. We admit that the Ca:holics fought and we know that they would fizht to-morrow it | this country wasin trouble. But this iseasiy sccounted for. Iiis because they believe in their biind superstition that they will own the country some day,and as a con- sequence they think they would be fight- ing for their own. But thanks to the A. | P. A.’s they have set the progress of Rome { back & hundred years, and this is the | resson that the priests don't like the | American Protective Association.” | In conclusion the speaker advised all who are not Roman Catholics to join ome | Protestant church, saying: *It is the | Protestant churches that the Catholic | priesisdread. Allthe infidels and atheists {on earth cannot successfuliy war against | the church. It is the organized Protestant churches that have driven the tyrannical | church to the wall, an! it is the organized | Protestant churches that will keep it from | obtaining control of this bl land of ours. e ———— Father Yor:e To-Night.

The German sharpshooters were out in full force at Schuetzen Park near San Rafael yesterday. The occasion was a shooting festival by the German military companies of S8an Francisco, consisting of the Eintracht shooting section, Captain Fred A, Kuhls; the San Francisco Turner shooting section, Captain F. Attinger, and the German XKrieger Verin, Captain R. Weineke. The San Francisco Schuetzen Club also took a prominent part, forming an escort to the other clubs. The mem- bers of all four clubs assembled in uni- form at B'nai B’rith Hall on Eddy street and marched to Powell, to Ellis, to Mar- ket, to Kearny, to California street, to the ferry. At least 345 men were in line beaded by | Marshals William Garms Jr. and John Lankenau and a band. At the ferry the rifflemen met their families and friends and the next boat and train carried hun- reds to the park. There each amused himself or herself according to fancy. 1tis easy to state where the men with th~ target rifles went, forin a very short time a perfect shower of lead was flying over the range. The sheoting committee consis'ed of Captain F. A. Kuhls, Captain F. Attinger and Captain R. Weineke. The shooting was of two kinds. On the ublic target there were four shots furadol- ar. On this event $198 was divided into twenty-five priges, ranging from $30 to $1 00. On t!e honorary target three shots were given for a doliar and the prizes con- sisted of jewelry, silverware, etc, vaiued at $750. ne shooting began at 11 o’clock and did not cease until 6 in the evening. C. Ezing won $2 50 by making the first best shot in the forenoon and Nick Abhrens won a dollar by making the best bullseye bafore the targets closed for the dinner bour. Then there was a rush for the din- | ing-room, and for a time Captain Schue- ann was kept busy serving his guests. Many took tgeir families and enjoyed lunch under the live oaks on the hills. A. Jungblut won the prize for the first bullseye after dinner. Then the shooting began in earnest, and while a number of excellent scores were made, taken on the whole, the weather was too saltry for sat- factory work. At times the black bulls- eyes fairly danced ‘or appeared to do so, owing to the heated air arising from the range. Among the first to go to the front on the publ ¢ target, four shots, was Wil- lism Glindemann, who ran up 94 out of 100. His rings were 23, 23, 24 24 H. H. Burfeind s little later made 24, 21, 24 22— 91. A. Strecker went ahead of all, with 22, 28, 25, 24—94, his third shot (25 ting Glindemann’s 24. D. W. McLaughlin won third prize, with 25, 23, 23, 23—04. McLaughlin shot in good form, es- pecially on the tbree-shot honorary tar- get. Late in the afterncon he made 74 out of & possible 75, placing two bullets in the three-quarter-inch center and the third just outside of the 25 rine. This gave him the first prize on this target. His seore was: 25, 25, 24. The next was Fred H. Kuhls, with 71, good for second prize. A. Sirecker with a similar score took the third prize, and . Fakwor fourth prize, also on 71 rings. Among the others who won izes on the honorary target were the following: John Utsehir 69 rings, H. Schroeder 64, P. J. Carroll 63, R. Finking 69. C. Thierbach 70, A. Jungbiut 64, L. P. Babin 61, C.

YOUNG PARKHURST DEAD The Berkeley Evangelist’s Mys- terious End at West port. Hs Family Fears That There Ha: Been Foul P.zy, and Will Investigate It. BERKELEY, CaL., Oct. 4—A cloud of mystery surrounds the death of Webster H. Parkhurst, the youthiul student, ath- lete and evangelist, who expired suddeniy at Westport, Mendccino County, yester- day morning. Not a vestige of information has been received by his family in Berkeiey, up to a late hour to-night, relating to the cause of young Parkhurst’'s sudden ana wholly unexpected demise. Three telegrams were received to-day, however, from F. 8. Adams, with whom the young man was associated, but no. a word was stated as to the conditions which surrounded his death. As a consequence the family fear that something in the nature of foul play has taken place. What strengthens this be- lief is the fact that the captain of the Webster H. Parkhurst. Noyo, which left Fort Brage yesterday, refused to take the body aboard for trans- portation because it was not accompanied with a physician’s certificate. An officer of the boat stated this after- noon tbat he understood from parties living in Fort Bragg that Parkhurst was taken sick on Friday; that a puysician was called and gave him a prescription; that be died twenty-four hours later and that the pbysician refused to issue a cer- tificate of death. This is all the informa- tion which the Parkhurst family have at hand. When the young man left Berkeley last June he was considered a fine type of physical manhood and was without any constitutiona: ailment whatever. That be should be taken ili and die within twenty- four hours has aroused the deepest anxiety and suspicion ttroughout Berkeley. What is still more s:range is the fact that Rev. Mr. Adams, with whom Parkhurst had been traveling, though having sent all four telegrams, has failed to give a clew to the cause of the su den death. Tele- gram after xelagum asking what caused the young man's death have been sent, but a!l to no parpose. A friend of the fawily will leave to-mor- row morning for the scene of young Park- hurst’s death with the view to determin- ing how the young man ' appened to die so suddenly and to bring his remains back to Berkeley. During s series of camp meetings about a year ago he was converted, together with a fellow-student named George Payzant. These two young men subsequentiy cre- ated censidersble of a sensation because of theirannouncement that the millennium was at hand. Pa:kburst afierward ieft school, having decided to give his life to the work of saving souls. His peculiar actions at this time elicited much com- ment throughout the community. Last June, though a mere boy, he lett Berke- ley and assum-d the role of an evan- gelist. He bas been traveling through toe State ever sines in company with Rev. Mr. Adams. The isst letter received from him by his mother was written about three weeks ago, and at that time every- thing looked well for the yvung man. Nothing more was heard until yesterday, when word came of his death. —————————— HER LOVER WAS ABSENT. Romantic Experience snd Marriags of Miss Ella Racer in Berkeley. OAKLAND, Car., Oct. 4—Miss Eila Racer and Joseph Henderson of Berkeley took an hour off from their respective vo- cations last Friday and were married by a Justice of the Peace at Berkeley. Miss Racer is a young !ady well known among the younger element of San Jose soclety. She is 18 years of age and expe- rienced a disappointment in a love affair :;: entirely changed the course of her She was engaged to 3 young dentist of San Francisco, but he broke off the at- tacument without ceremony.

How the Glory of the Bullshead Has Departed With the 0id Missions. DEMOCRACY UNDER THE VINE. Thres Hundred Peop e, Sixteen Savory Heads and Four Speeches Make Things Pleasant. The Iroquois Club held its annual bulls- head breakiast at San Leandro yesterday afternoon, and it was one of the greatest Iroquois Club events in all history; but alas for the degeneracy of bullshead feasts! Bullshead “breakfasts’ are no longer what they u<ei to be, when in the good old days of the Spanish dominion we used to gather from a hundred miles about to the silvery music of saddie trappings, in- stead of the whir-r-r and thump, thump of electric cars, and when a bullshead breakfast was no Shell Mound picnic. This affair of yesterday was degenerate with all its glory, and so are all the rest of the bulishead breakfasts of these parts nowadays. There's more breakfast than bullshead about them all. In the neizh- borhood of San Francisco they are peter- ing out at the rate of about four a year, and the Iroquois Club is helping reduce them to the ignoble plane of six-bit French dinners. A bull’s head is a noble thing when its massive form has bteen slowly blackened for a day and a night by the buried bed of fire and when it overlaps the edges of the bigeest platter in all the country with its juicy jowls awaiting tke carver’s knife. t is more worthy of glorious hailing at the feast than was ever boar’s head in old England. They knew this a generation or two ago in California, and when on the second day the time for the feast had come, the com pany would gather about the big hot mound of earth and the speaker of the day would pronounce a glowing oration before the steaming earth was ceremoniously removed. Then when the massive morsels were exhumed, they became the feast, and all else was trimmings., There was a sturdy reality about a bullshead breakfast then. They are too clean and finicky now, and the bullshead is one of the entrees. They used to sew each big head in a gunnysack and when the great bed of coals was rignt and the neads were laid thereon they woulid hone=tly shovel the dirton top of them and Leap the grave as for all time. Then when the exhnming came in the presence of the hungry and joyiul multi- tude the hot and heavy gunnysacks would yield another load of ¢onfining clay with each cleansing thu and when were ripped open the savory mother would make a sweeter smell and the pic- nic glory would be over it all. ell, they’ll be cooking bulls’ heads in French ranges next, like a mere roast of beef. Down there at S8an Leandro Land- lord Godchsux went out near the chicken-coop on SBaturday and dug & grave with geometrical precision. A of coals two feet deep was mede right and sixteen unwrapped bulls™-beads were laid in & row therein, nose to horn. Over the grave was laid an iron roof and the earth was heaped above. The heads lay in an oven and all was clean and like a Frenchman's art. No Spanish don could have cooked them better, but the way and the glory of tne old bullshead breakfast seemed vanished with tue mis- sions. Three hundred people enjoyed the affair and it was ail a complex delight. The crowd was a merry one ann half the peo- ple were ladies. Few October Sabbatbs have been more delightfully warm and lovely amid the orchards, gardens and flowers of San Leandro and the crowded electric cars gave a panorama of beauty between Oakland and this country town. At 1:30 p. M those who came to the feast surrounded many long tables invitingly spread 10 an immense grape arbor in the botel gardens, and great parple clusters hel the woven folisge shadow the fruits, wines, napery and substantial good things which crowded the tables. The people seemed to appreciate ail this as an improvement on the old style bulls- head breakfast, and the pity of the style made no shadow on the feast. They ate beans and then sliced tongue and things, and then the ublisheads meat came on in piatters sliced into generous bits. They were ju.cy and delicious morsels. One should be worthy of such a dish, but none doubted themselves. Then there was served lamb cooked on spits and chicken cooked on a stove, and there were other things to eat at the good dinner. Just once was the real bullshead served in all its glory. A iring waiter bore one on & great platter to head of 3 table where ‘‘Con” Suliivan sat. The thing looked fierce and picturesque and d oh! very good. ckened ears cm’mphd h. little, ess was gone from the great ioreha?,i:nd the big quiet nostrilsseemed to disdain the carver from the edge of the big platter. A bull’s head on a tableis a s ght worth seeing. *“Con’” wasn’t born in Sonora, but then—. The rest of the affair consisted of peo- ple, sociavility and positics. Charles Gil- des, president of the Iroquois Club, ably and tactfully bossed it all in a general way and presided at the formasities.
