WAGNER THINKS IT'S A GOOD THING |He and Reddy Talk About “Inspecting the De- pendent Poor.” They Reply to Recent Criticisms and Explain the Brand- New O fice. Say the Board of Health Eff:ct a Seving in the Alms- House Management. Tre recent appointment of ex-Supervi- sor Edward L. Wagner to the newly cre- ated office of Inspector of the Dependent Poor at the City Almshouse has aroused a good deal of comment, adverse and oth- | erwise, since it became publicly known, and many people Lave been asking the question, “What is an Inspector of the Dependent Poor, and what are his du- ties?” The political opponents of the ex-Super- visor have asserted that the creation of this office was not prompted by necessity, but rather was designed for the particular benefit of Mr. Wagner, as a reward for his vast services on behalf of the Board of Health. These allegations are wholly E. L. Wagner, the New Inspector of the Dependent Poor. denied by Suverintendent Reddy of the Almshouse and by Mr. Wagner bimself, who both state emphatically that the office has been rendered necessary by the continual increase in the number of the Almshouse inmates, many of whom, it is suspected, are not justly entitled to live at the expense of the city. To this category belong military pensioners, luna- tics and ali those who have relatives and freinds well ab'e to contribute partially if not entirely to their support. It will be the daty qf the inspector to determine as to the eligibieness of all ap- plicants for admission and in this way, it is argued in defense of the appointment, | a great saving is likely to he effected in the administration of the affairs of the in- stitution. 1 know very litile about Mr. Wagner myselt,” said Superintendent Reddy yes- terday. “He was sent here by the Boara of Health and he seems to me a very able, energetic and honorable man. It is claimed that he belonged to the Solid Seven in the last Board of Supervisors, All T know is that he was one of the few Democrats elected, and that being so I fail to see where he got his pull. If it is true that he made such a good thing out of bis position I car’t see why he should desire an office of this kind. “] can state with regard to the office itself that it is by no means a sinecure. We have 942 inmates at the present mo- ment, and the heads of the various de- partments have enough to do to look after them in the ordinary sense of the term. Mr. Wagner's duty is to investigate the antecedents and circumstinces of new- comers, and particularly whether they have any relatives able to take care of them., Neither the Mayor nor his clerk Las time to attend to these matters, and something must be done to check the in- crease in the number of inmates. We have nothing to say against the admission of those who are reully deserving, but there is no reason why the City should support impostors. hie Board of Healtl'considered that the creation of an ofiice of this kind would eventually result in a saving to the city. Neither my clerk nor I bave time to run down town continually to institute the necessary investigations. Mr. Wagner has been in constant atiendance ever since his appointment and is likely to prove a valuable acquisition to the staff. “Anybody at all familiar with the sub- ject must know how rediculous it isto pose that Tam responsible for the ap- ?mmem. 1 merely obey the instruc- Sought to| | tions of the board and did so in this case | The board appoints everybody from my- | self downwards, and it is, therefore, ab- | surd to say that either Dr. Morse or Dr. Hart urged me to appoint Wagner. As to the latier’s predecessor in office, Mr. Boyle, I certainly discharged him because 7 saw fit to do so, but was not then aware that Mr. Wagner would be his successo Mr. Wagner also had sometbing to sa: regarding the much-discussed appoint- ment and the alleged causes thereof. “It is not true,” he said, “that my cast- ing vote gave the $30,000 appropriation to | the Board of Healt:, because there were | more than seven votes in favor of it. | Furthermore, the appropriation was given in good faith, and might even have been greater than it was with advantave. The board has done its duty in protecting the | lives and the health of our citizens, and in my opinion at least double the amount should have been given toit. Thera ought to be four ambulances instead of two, and | the scope of the board’s activity shouid not stop short at the inspection of the milk supply, but should extend to all de- rtments of food production. “The position of Iuspector of the De- pendent Poor is a real necessity. Itena- bles us to discover the relatives of the un- fortnnate inmates, and in cass of death preserves many of them from a pauper’s | arave; by which means a great deal of money can be saved. “Then, too, if there are people out there living at'the expense of the Government | as pensioners, the fact should be known and | they should be expelled from the Alms- | nouse. Insane persons, aiso, belong prop- | erly to the asylums, which the city helps to support. My duty as Inspector also ex- tends to the supervision of the wards, and to seeing that the rules providing for the comfort of the inmates are adhered to. I have attended to these duties from 8 fo 5 | o'clock ever since my appointment, and | any statement alleging otherwise i3 un- | true. The appointment was made by the | Board of Health, and Superintendent | | Reddy had nothing to dc withit. The | recommendation came from Dr. Hart and | Dr. Morse, those gentlemen, no doubr, considering that I was qualified to fill such 8 pesition, while as a Democrat it was only natural that the board—other things being equal—should favor that recommen- | dation.” | IDLE CHRISTIANS. | Rev. Dr. Spalding Asks ‘“Why Spend Ye All the Day Ildle?"” The Rev. Dr. Spalding, rector of St. | John’s Church, preached last night about | idle Cbristians. The gospel for the day “The vineyard and the laborers,” sug- | mested the theme. The text was, “Why | stand ye here all the day idle?” The | doctor stated that in one sense no one | could accuse our people of idleness. All around us is the hum of busy life. But worldly industry and Christian idleness may go band in hand. “Is it so with any of us?’ Merely earthly aims he said end with the grave. The stiffening fingers cannot draw a check upon the millions it once controlled. But death cannot close | work for God. For the salvation of our souls and the souls of others we must weed out the vineyards of ourlives. Be assured some enemy has sown tares in each of our lives. —_—————— PATRIOTS WILL BANQUET. | Sons of the American Revolution Pre- paring to Celebrate The Sons of the American Revolution | will celebrate Washington’s birthday by | giving a grand banquet and literary feast at the Oceidental Hotel on the evening of February 22.

Misses Kate and Fannie Biack appeared during the convention and entertained the members for some time with songs and recitations and Patrick Nichols re- cited an Irish patriotic poem.

It Is Liable to Decline in Some Respects, but Can Be Replaced by Dr. Sanden’s Electric Belt. Men between the ages of 40 and 60 fre- quently find themselves lacking in the most essential element of manly power. Excesses in early life bring their train of evils, and sometimes all power is lost in the vital functions while other parts of the vody are still vigorous.

A Los Angeles Sympathizor Tells of Interest in the South. The Local Organizaticn Will Probab'y Be Perfected in Every Detail This Week. The committee of organization of the Cuban League will go forth to-day to add rew names to its lists and perfect the local society. The progress of the past week bas been great and it is believed that an- other week will aad hundreds of names to the roll. “‘We have received a great many new names for the roll during the past two days,” said Secretary Faust Mascherini yesterday, ‘‘and we have had many offers of aid from farmers, mechanics and the public at large.”” The following letter is a sample of the way the movement strikes the people of the State: Los ANGELES, Feb. 12. To Mascherini and Jones, Cuban League—G. TLEMEN: I have been greatly interested in THE CALL'S accounts of your meetings and plans, first called to my attention by an edi- torial in the Herald here, commending THE CALL and your league. You may write nie down as one in full sym- pathy with the movement in every way. I stand ready togive reasonable financial aia and to do everything in my power, within the limits of the law. Weoften hear flippant, light-headed people speak disparagingly of Cuba’s cause and call the Cubans half Indians or savages; but it strikes me that a people who have already begun tosow theseeds of liberty are a lorg distance from barbarism, and their appeal ought to be heard and re- sponded to by the masses in this country. Re- spectfully, Jonx W. WiLsox. Major W. Fakey of the Cosmopolitan Hotel called yesterday and agreed to serve the committee in any lawful way. Speak- ing of the struggle of the Cubans he said : “Certainly it seems to me every Irish patriot must sympathize with Caba in her great battle for freedom. No matter how humble or ignorant the Cubans may be, they know enough to despise slavery and crave for liberty, and thev ought to be en- couraged.” When the local league is fully orgen- ized along the lines of the New York or- der it will act 1n conjunction with the National League, and it is proposed to bave something like a concerted move- ment in whatever is done throughout the Nation, The Grand Army of the Republic at Qakland. has taken action and passed reso- lutions of sympathy with Cuba, and many members ol the City posts have expressed themselves in the same way. It is hoped that the Pioneers and other societies will take similar action. TREBELLI'S VOICE AGIN, Oace More Its Beauty Charmed Over a Thousand Hearers. The Gifted Soprano Gave a Splendid Rendering of th: Palacca From “Mignoa.” The programme presented at the Cali- fornia Theater last night was in every re- spect admirably selected, and appealed both to the cultivated ear of the trained masician and to the general pablic ignor- ant of technical terms. Mile. Trebelli’s popularity and claim to distinction as a soprano vocalist of the foremost rank were more than confirmed in the estimation of her hearers, and if any doubt lingered in the minds of the iatter during the earlier part of the even- ing her exquisitely finished rendering of the difficult palacca from Thomas’ *‘Mig. non” must have dispelled it. The highly romantic aria, ““Caro Nome,’" from Verdi's “Rigoletto,” though partic- ularly distinctive in character, is aimost as florid and difficult as the paiacea, and was equally well sung by the diva. In strone contrast to the foregoing were her encore numbers and varticularly so Bishop's ‘‘Love Has Eyes’ Grleg's pring Song”’ and the ever populsr “Home, Sweet Home," all of which she sang to her own accompaniment. Thean- dience sustained one disappointment in her substitution of Bishop's “Bid Me Dis- course’” for Massenet’s “*Alleluia’ or “*Air — REW TO-DAY—AMUSEMENTS.

Loui Crepaux, the basso, and Arthur Weiss, the ’ceilist of Messrs, Vert & Haurwitz's trio of artists, heiped to divide the honors of the evening.

Chopin’s melancholy second nocturne, Lindner's “Taranteile’” and Thorne’s “Simple Aven,” all three re- ceived the same degree of finished inter- pretation at his hands. Crepaux was, perhaps, heard to the greatest advantage in Hess' melodie, *‘Nous Vous Verrons,” Grieg's ‘‘Plus blanche est mon amour,” Victor Harris’ *‘Madrigal,” and an aria from Saint-Saens’ “Henry VIIL” The first-named pos- sesses & typically originai motif, whose tender and melancholy suggestiveness twas most pleasingly interpreted by the singer.
