14 HE SAN FRANCISCO CALL ATURDAY, FEBRUARY 6, 1897. SCUTSWILL AONOR BURNS Caledonians Donate a Thou- sand Dollars for a | Monument. OTHER FUNDS IN VIEW THIS YEAR. The Proceeds of Club Games Will Go to the Monu- ment Fund. IMPORTANT COMMITTEES ARE| APPOINTED. | Every Memb:r cf the Order Is in Earnpest and There Is Hope for the Enterprise. There was a largely attended and en- thusiastic meeting of the Caledonian Club | at Scottish Hall last night, the special ob- | ject of the meeting being to take steps | toward raising a fund for the Burns mon- ument, After a brief discussion, the resolution | of T. C. Lawson was adopted, providing | that the net proceeds of all games and gatherings for 1307 be devoted to the | Buras monument fund. The resolution, heretofore published in THE CALy, recites | that the building of a monument to Burns in this City would be & credit to the City and State, as well as to the Scotch | residents, showing that the people of the | far West appreciate the genius of the im- | mortal bard. Mr. Lawson’s resolution was unani-| mously adopted, following which it was resolvea to appropriate $1000 forthwith for the Burns monument fund, the money to be set aside from any funds now in the treasury. A number of communications from sculptors and monument- makers were read and placed on file, also a hearty let- ter from Judge Edward A. Belcher, who stated that he would be pleased, at the proper time, to contribute to the monu- | ment fund. The letter was spread on the minutes. *‘We have met to act rather then to talk | to-night,” said Chieftain McNeill, “and 1 think it is proper for us to show our in- tentions by getting into shape to do prac- | tical work at the earliest possible moment. The whole world honors the memory of Burns, and the genius of mankind has revered his contributions to literature. I | n proud that this band of Scots is so active in beauif of so noble a cause as the building of a monument to the memory of him so dearly beloved in_every clime. [ am ready to announce the Burns monu- ment committee, which will have charge | of the enterprise for this year.” The following were appointed on the committee: D. R. McNeill, John Reid, George Davidson, James H. Duncan, J. W. Cameron, D. Macdonald, Colin M. Boyd, Kennedy, Angus McLeod, Charles A. McPhee, James McNab, John | M. Duncan, William Nicol, F. F.

A novel performance will be given at the First Christian Church oa Tweifth | street to-morrow night. | The young ladies of Mrs. Lydia F. Luse’s Sunday-school class will give the illus- tratea parable, *Too Late.” The church will be darkened, and the “five wise vi gins” of the gospel parable, in their trai ing white robes and carrying lighted lamps, will come from the back of the | church, and, passing over the platiorm, will disappear into the adjoining room | and the door will be closed just as the “five foolish virgins” arrive only to find it is indeed *'too late.”” The end of the parable is almost tragic, for the girls seem to entirely lose their identity and become in reality the foolish, foolish™ virgins. ~According to the pastor the representation will almost undoubt- edly convey the lesson it is intended to teach. The singing is very effective, and both the pastor, Dr. ¥ord, and Mrs. Luse may well be proud of their pupils. The “wise virging'’’ will be impersonat Jessie Miller, Miss Lillon J Leah Greenwood.

The contest between the “ins” and the “‘outs” of the Masonic Cemetery Associa- | tion resulted, upon a casti Wednesday afternoon, in for the “‘ins” —that istration. The question at issue was as to the elec- tion oi three directors at this timeora| full board of nine. ! The “ins’ in their action follow the law of 1858—the rural cemetery act—under whicn the association was incorporated, which requires that the directors be | elected for three years, but that the term of thrre of them expire every year and be filled n election. This has been the course since the incorporation. Oppo- | sition to it being raised by certain persons interested this year, the advice of Ex- | Justice of the Supreme Court M. H. | Myrick and Charies L. Patton was sought. and they declared that the statute of 1858 | still governea. The opposition still protested, however, delaring that the State Code repealed that | law. They set up a full ticket of nine di- rectors, and declared 1f their votes were not counted for the nine they would carry the matter into the cour's. The relative strength of the “outs'” and the “ins’’ was tested by a vote on the re- port of the committee on proxies early | yesterday afternoon. The committee was composed of Frank W. Sumner, Charles L. Patton and A. H. Phelps. They reported against nearly ninety proxies on the adistinctvictory | the present admin- lots, which alone entitie the holder | not all signed the proxies, and for other | The vote in favor of the report was 567, against 313. The ticket of the “ins” for the three di- rectors carried the names of Thomas Kyle, George J. Hobe and F. W. G. Moebus. It received the 566 votes. The opposition. ticket was as follows: | Aaron Doud, Charles Bone, Joseph Klop- | enstine, J. K. C. Hobbs, G. Howard | hompson, F. W. G. Moebus, E. M. Root, W. F. McAlester, W. B. Bradbury. It re- ceived 319 votes. The former was of course’ eiected, and would have been in any case, but especially so inasmuch as | the votes for the nine were tnrown out, | the tellers being unable to count them, the election being called for the election | of but three. This forms the ground upon | which the leaders of the opposition will g0 to court—the refusal to count their votes. The proposition was made to those opposed to the adminisiration to name. some suitable person for trustee and he would be accepted by the majority and made one of the three. This was refused. The board of trustees as now constituted is as follows: Henry L. Davis, F. W. G. Moebus, F. H. Day, Georze J. Hobe, Co- lumbus Waterhouse, Thomas Kyle, James Patterson, J. Anderson, George Johuson. The new board held a meeiing ana elected the following officers: Henry L. Davis, president; F. W. G. Moebus. vice- presideny; F. H. Day, treasurer; George Hobe, secretary; William S.

Upton, the Vet- eran Journalist, Passes Away. A fecond Stroke of Apoplexy Carries Off the Brilliant Writer at Berkeley. Of Long and Varied Experience, H: Work d for the People and Against Their Foes. M. G. Upton, the veteran journalist and editorial writer, died last evening at & o’clock at his home, 2419 Durant aveaue, Berkeley. He had been suffering from a complica- tervals to wield his trenchant pen. immediate ¢ The use of death was apoplexy, | the second stroke falling upon him yester- | be relied upon implicitly as to facts of | day morning about 10 o’clock. His wife and family (with the exception of his eldest son, W. B. Upton, & civil engineer now in Washington, D. C.) were with him avthe last. Everything was done to avert death, but without avail. His loss will be mourned by a large circle of friends. Mathew G. Upton was a native of Ire- jand and a graduateof Dublin University. In early life ke went to New York to bet- ter his fortunes, and there he began his career as a journalist. His energy and force of character were fully equal to Lis culture. He was soon known in all the efficient and conscientions jonrna ist. He was city editor of the New York Herald for a time, where he acquired a wide knowledge of men and methods. He came to California in the early days, somewhere about 1852 An expert sten- something of a rara avis in in that way, but he was a born journalist. He connected himself with the Herald in this City, with which were other writers who had been on the staff of the New York Herala. His duties were multifarious. There was no telegraphic news. He wrote lo- als, editorials, paragraphs and articles of | all sorts, il witn equal facility and readi- ness. Had his advice been foilowed the Herald would not have been found in op- position to the Vigilance Commitiee and probably would not have met with dis- aster. When he went from the Herald an edi- torial position awaited him on the old Alta. writer of that journal when it was a power commerciaily and politically in the State. While he was guiding the editorial policy of the Alta the railroad company sought | to acquire possession of Goat Island. Mr. Upton fought that scheme with such skill | and persistency that he was appointed one | of the committee of five who were named | to'go to Washington to confer with Presi- dent Grant. To his influence much of the well-known success of that mission was very justly attributed. The argument employed to influence Fresident Grant was that it was a military necessity for the Government to retain possession of the island. In 1872 or 1873 Mr. Upton was invited to become one of the editorial writers of the Bulletin. There his iiterary style, which bad been good, was developed to perfec- tion. He was master of English. He wrote laboriously, carefully and slowl; The result was a finished product, consid- ered from a purely literary standpoint. He was concise, polished and erudite, and his learning extended into many fielas. In the direction whither the natural bent of his talent led him his mind was encyclo- pedic. In connection with theeditorial columns of the Bulletin during the period extend. ing up to 1895 he exerted a strong influ- ence during u continuous engagement of nearly a quarter of a century. Gcorge K. Fitch, the veteran journslist and long- time proprietor of the Bulletiu, was his chief. Both came early to California and took a_keen, instructive interest in .public affairs and public men. Their retentive memories were akin. With them all men of good will counseled. Only evil-doers cringed when they cracked without mercy, and having an eye to the public zood, the editorial whip. Mr. Upton’s intimate acquaintance with the pioneers and the history of the early days, enabled bim to judge with almost number of men who have moved con- spicuously on the public stage in Califor- nia. He knew of their abilities—and he aiways carried a scrapbook. His services may be best understood by California peo- vle from the statement that he was the He was the principal editor and | by anotker, were made sources of peren- nial delight as they were mastered by his | pen. Statistics were arranged in sucha | | way as 1o avoid being dull and distaste- | ful Argument was embellished by irony and & strong, masterful.humor, with a | | peculiar flavor all its own. Invective was so handled that it caused | those against whom it was directed to | wince and smart. More than any other itorial writer in California he possessed nfinite variety’’ in his treatment of | themes constantly presented and repre- | sented. His mind was a fountain of | quaint thoughts. But at no time could Mathew G. Upton | be considered a trifler. He was always | very much in earnest. His flying sar- | casms were aimed with deadly certainty | and intent at some target which was | rarely if ever missed entirely. | | His humor did not detract from the | Jogic of a situation as he clearly saw it, | | and his readers never lost the point that he perspicaciously made. At all times | and av all seasons he had the public good | before him as his incentive. Kearless and | | aggressive he was at the same time self- | contained and cool-headed in the treat- | | ment of questions of great public concern. | Therefore he was not betrayed into mak- ing frequent mistakes. He thought sev- eral times before he wrote and no article | | was permitted to appear from his pen until he had carefully studied over it and | considered it in the proof slips. His industry was unsparinz and un- | tirinz. He kept close account of all financial statements made by City and State officials, and knew better, probably, | than anyman in San Francisco just how the balances stood, on any given day, in | | the hands of public officials 1n California. | Every financial report submitted by a | search was _applied ures, local, to_legislative measx- Siate and Nationai, and he | was an authority whose accuracy conld | many inds. | He was the stanch and intelligent | | friend of the “doliar limii” in San Fran- | cisco, the stout and uncompromising foe NEW TO-DAY—DRY GOODs. il o I A e SUUSSESSSSEEUT VTS STRONG LEA DERS TO-DAY'S TRADE!
