2 1 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, MONDAY, DECEMBER HOSPITAL WARDS 21, 1896. y/’/ FOR POOR FOLKS Latest Plan Under Consid- eration by the Salva- tion Army. Adjutant McFee the Originator of a Scheme to Care for the Sick. The Old Santa Cruz Broad-Gauge Depot to Be Made a Shelter for Men. The Salvation Army will soon open a Men's Food and Shelter Home at Santa Cruz. They have leased the old broad | gauge depot at a nominal price and w immediately set about making the terior a comfortable habitation. H Adjutant McFee, who has been so prom- | inently connected with the army the past six years and who has recently been called East by Commander Booth Tucker, has been planning for the last six months the erection of an army hospital. The hospital will be conducted in the interests of the self-respecting poor who will receive first-class treatment and nursing at such rates as the working | people can afford. Their idea in the es- tablishn.ent of such a hospital is to pre- vent those who otherwise could not afford medical treatment and attendance from becoming chronic invalids. Donations of everything that will make the hungry, half-clad poor happy and comfortable have been pouring in at the Salvation Army headquarters. The | army nas rented a store at 868 Folsom street, where the donations will be stored until the time comes for the general dis- tribution just atter Christmas. Only really urgent cases will be relieved at present, ior the army is busy preparing for its Christmas dinner, which will be & grand After Christmas, Interior of the Store on Folsom Street Where the Army Has Stored the Donations to Be Distributed succes erously. been received the last coup!

He was told that the appearance of the rock was not promising, but appearances are often deceptive in metallurgics. Ac- cordingly the rock was submitted to the retorts. When Mr. Anderson called at the assay office for his prospect the assayers ex- pressed surprise at the richness of the specimen. The rock showed $12 40 gold to the ton, and of silver $2 60, making a total valuation of §15. Then Anderson’s former perplexity became tantalization. ‘It is like a dream of millions,” he said vesterday. “Ican seeall that wealth and I am powerless to touch it.”’ Asto what course he will now pursue Anderson is in the dark. He has made some inguiries, but so far no plausible mode of procedure has been suggested. To-day he purposes searching the rec- ords at the City Hall, doubtless for the purpose of finding whether or not the street in which the mine lies is a regu- larly declared highway. Should these inquiries prove unsatisfactory he intends to consult mining attorneys, though he dreads this step, as he is extremely jealous of his secret. If there appears to him no course by which he can gain possession of the ledge without too expensive an outlay he expe~ts to interest some capitalist in the matter, a8 scheme which, in view of the assay, will probably not be difficult. Altho Anderson speaks guardedly of the location of his find, it seems probabie that it is in some of the many streets which have recently been cut through the City. Mr. Anderson is a man of unimpeach- abie yeracity. He is one of the most prominent and popular of the Swedish residents and is well known among me- chanics and business men. Money for Boys.

List of Names and Weights of the Boys Who Will Wear the Gloves. Koster, a New Man, Who Will Op- pose Carter, Is Describ:d as a C ever Boxer. Ten sinewy, muscular and well-trained athletes will weigh in at the Olympic Club this evening at 6 o’clock, and with the conclusion of that necessary formality everything will be in readiness for the five boxing contests which are slated to take vlace in the club gymnasium, commenc- ing at 8:30 o’clock. Olfthe boxers who will contest for su- | premacy on that occasion, and whose names have already appeared in these | columns, all save one seem to be well known to the sporting fraternity. That exception is Gus Koster, who will make hisdebut as the opponent of Stew- art Carter, the present welter-weight cham- pion of the coast. Julian R. Brandon, the well-known heavyweight, is, however, able to supply some information which may prove of value to those who are dis- posed to judge the contest in question. Mr. Brandon has been coaching Koster for the last nine months, and expresses himself as satisfied that his pupil will give an excellent account of himself. He is said to be a clever and a pretty boxer and a bard hitter, while adding to these qualifications the manifest advan- tages of height and length of reach. He stands 5 feet 103{ inches in his stockings and isonly 23 years of age. Both men are expected to strip at 145 pounds. Koster bas been training faithfully, and will enter the ring in splendid con- dition. Mr. Brandon put him through ten quick rounds the other evening by way of a finishing touch. Carter, his opponent, has a reputation to uphold, and in the opinion of His ad- mirers is well able to succeed in thaten- deavor, but neither combatant is expected to enjoy a walkover. The champion welter- weight is famous for an effective left hook, by means of which he has discomfited more than one skillful rival, but Koster has been specially trained to frustrate that method of attack. Mr. Brandon him- self has hitherto been very successiul asa teacher of the noble art. Many of his former pupils have at- and professional world. He will second Lis latest protege this evening. The following is a list of the several events which will be decided this evening, weights and the name of the club with which the boxers are connected being given in each instance: Carter of the Olympic Club and Koster of the Manhat- tan Club, 145; Hayes of the Olympic and M. Egan of the Manhattan, 135; Mulligan of the Manhattan and Brown of the Olym- pic, 125; Reay of the Olympic and Lynch of the San Fraucisco. Athletic Club, 125; Lawler of the Acme and Schuler of the Manhattan, 120. Without exception the men mentioned are expected to give a gentlemanly and spirited exhibition of skill with the gloves. None but members of the clubs represented will be admitted. The Good Templars. Since the wel:-attended and successtul Grand Lodge sessiot at Vallejo the interest in this order seems to have taken firmer hold on the people who believe in the principles it advocates. Rev. J. W. Webb, chief templar, and W. P. Skelton, grand secretary, have finished their official visit- ing and lecture work.

Robert Fitzsimmons, the tall, blonde boxer from Australia—Bob Fitzsimmons, as he is best known—the fighter who fought Sharkey in ihe ring and alsoin the court fora purse of $10,000, winning in the first contest and losing in the s:cond, was around town all day yesterday bidding his friends good-by. As the big, broad-shouldered man passed quietly along the sidewalk clad in a ministerial girb he was pointed out by evervbody on the street as “Fitzsimmons, who was jobbed by Earp and Bharkey,” so well known is the man who made the sailor turn turtle. ’ ‘While the public is yet taiking about the ‘famous victoree” the man who failed to get the coin part of it is taking the matter quietly, to interviewing Mr. Corbett in a fairer manner. 5 Julian stated yesterday that Fitzsimmons would never consent to enter the ring with Sharkey on any consideration, but would ignore him in the future. He will Jeave his late opponent to the purse and unenviable glory of that concerted fluke and look forward While Bob was out yesterday making his farewell calls Mrs. Rose Julian Fifzsimmons was at home in her rooms at the Baldwin packing Baby Bob’s’ vinafores, skirts, flannels and other garniture of infanthood away for the flight East. Pretty Mrs. Bob is outspoken in her contempt for the methods that lost Baby Bob’s big dad that purse and would not object to telling the naval hero what she thinks of him and his crew. Bhe always accompanies her husband and is his chief counselor and guide, taking precedence even of her brother. Fiiz is a model hubby and says that very few men have better wives than he has. She intends to go South with him to meet Corbett when March 17 draws near. Julian states that they will start East to-night, but possibly not till to-morrow evening. Exhibitions will be given at Denver, Cripple Creek and other places, the party reaching New York in about three weeks. Fitzsimmons will need only about twenty days’ preparation for the great contest, as he is in good condition for the ring now. tained prominent positionsin the amateur |- NEW TO-DAY—DRY GOODS.
