Free Labor Bureau, Night School, Library, Reading-Room and Dispensary. The New Social Secretaries Installed in Offic —Street Parade and Fireworks. Yesterday was a great day in the history of the Salvation Army in this City. Patriotic demonstration in celebration of Washington’s Birthdey was ming.ed with jul ion over the openingand dedi- cation of the Salvation Army Institute for workingmen. A street parade followed the dedication, in which a number of attractive floats ap- peared, and the salvationists were dressed in fancy and representative costumes. Beveral banners were carried in the ranks inscribed “We want work'’—the demon- stration bging a plea for the unemployed in connection with the institute. At Congress Hall, at the Salvation Army headquarters on Market street, a unique entertainment took place, being an allegorical representation of an anction sale of children. In the evening another streat parade took place with an illemination. It wound up at Metropolitan Temple, where another big demonstration was held, the feature of which was the installation of Major and Mrs. Winchell as social secre- | taries of the social wing of the army for | the Pacific Coast division. Piciures taken | from the social work were shown from a | stereopticon. The institute was dedicated in the morn- ing. Itislocated on the corher of New Montgomery and Howard streets. It has | been in operation fora month past supply- ing beds at 5 and 10 cents a night. It is equipped with 150 veds, to be let nightly atb cents each, 100 other beds with lock- ers and extra bed-clothing at 10 cente; thirty single bedrooms with writing-table and washstand at 15 cents; togetber with a number of furnisbed rooms at 25 cents The plan contemplated that the institute wiil be a rendezvous for the unemployed. A free labor bureau is to be established here, a “*woodyard and window and step- cleaning company,’”’ oreanized; a night- school established, with a library and reading-room; a free medical dispensary; a barber-shop, bathroom, & restaurant and lunchroom and a laundry are to be added. It is stated in this connection that an interstate labor bureau is being estab- lished by Commander Booth-Tucker, all over the United States, and agencies are to be established all through this State, The dispensary is in c.arge ot well- known city physicians, among them | D. B. Plymire, Dr. H, C. Freach, Dr. N. ‘{i:)ugm, Dr. J. Anderson and T. B. de | Wite | 'The ceremony of dedication was con- | ducted by Lieutenant-Colonel Keppel. { He introduced A. 8. Hemphill of Cua:vary { Courch, who made an enthusiastic ad- dress in support of the work of the army. d he was “for the army every s nothing to stand up for the army | now,” said Dr. Hemphiil, *‘but I stood | with them in the streets twenty years ago when they were greeted most of the time | by dead cats and eggs. It has been my | bigh privilege to rebuke those who have sneered at the workers in the armv.” Dr. Hemphill said that he was pastor of a big and rich church, but he found it aifficult to secure fundsto meet its ex- penses ana carry on its work. The, Salva- | tion Army had always been & mystery to bim, he said. How it had progressed from small and despised beginnings and gone forward to the establishment one after the other of self-supporting institu- tions for the relief and succor of man- kina—balf a dozen of them that had each accomplished great work in themselves and the army kept growing and establish” ing still other and greater institutions that bid fair .to flourish and continve the work—it was a mystery to him how it was accomplished. Dr. H. C. French was introduced as rep- resenting the J\byni ans who will bave charge of the ensary. He said ‘‘the world is sick.” e thought that vhe word of God was the greatest remedy, but he (Dr. French) siood prepared to alieviate their suffering so far as be could with pbysic. He said that the Salvation Army in its social institutions has given the lie to the agnostics of the world. He advised those present o tell whatever poor neigh- bors they may have to come 1o the insti- tute in caso they needed medical treat- ment for which they were unable to pay. Major Winchell stated that a committee of the Y. M. 1. bad visited him'and offered the army the use of the decorations at Metropolitan Temple which the ¥, M. L Laa placed there for its aiternoon enter- tainment. A volley was fired for the Y. M. L and the courtesy was accepted with applause, Adjutant Montgomery, ‘‘the million- aire Salvationist,” in a short address said that he was glad that he had had time to investigate the Salvation Army and its methods. In that investigation he had looked behind the curtains, and it had stood the test. It had been the means of turning bim to_a life of usefulness. He had seen the Salvationists swallowed up in their work for their fellowmen, and he haa found joy in joining them. Lieutenant - Colonel Keppel offered a final prayer and benediction upon the dedication, and the services closed with a great volley for the institute. Shortly aiter 1 o’clock in the afternoon the parade formed on Howard and New Monigomery street, in front of the insti- tute. Floats representing ‘“‘the cherry tree” and “the old log cabin,” and others carrying the army lassies, in red, white and blue, were in the line. 'Bells and brass horns awakened the echoes all along the line of march. The Chinese corps of the juniors, & d of gayly dre-sed little Celestials, attracted much attention. Congress Hall was crowded by the time the head of the procession reached there. The little children, 100 of them, were given places on the stage and presented a pretty picture. After a short musical ana literary programme, among the numbers of which was the sinving of the baby Chinese, the whole band was offered for sale by Major Winchell, social secretary, in the capacity of an auctioneer. First Pleasure bid for them - (in the person of Ensign W. 8. Barker); then Weaith (Cap- tain Isabella Wise); then Education (Mrs, Adjutant George S. Montgomery); then Morality (Ensign N, J. Lewis.) None of them were high enough, according to the anctioneer, because they only pretended 1o care of the bodies of the littleones, and their care could not extend beyond this life. Then Christianity bid. in the person of the suctioneer’s wife, Mrs. Winchell, and to ber they were sold, as she was able to care for their souls in the after life us well as for their bodies and souls in this. very pretty entertainment. he evening the parade, with red lights and fireworks, started from **White Wings” Hall, Mission street, near Third, at 7o'clock. It traversed the princinal streets and broke ranks in front of Metro- politan Temple. The temple was crowded at the begin- ning of the entertainment, which was characterized throughout by the en- thusiastic *‘volleys” of the Balvation Army. 1t began with a running talk on the social work of the army, illustrated by stereopticon picture: The entry of Lieutenant-Colonel and Mrs. Keppel, Major and Mrs. Winchell. with musicians and their following at 8 o'clock, was the signal for an outbust. Major and Mrs. Winchell were formally installed as social secretaries. Ensign Lewis sang *“We'll be well fed and have a bed,” and in response to the encore explained the uses of the “mercy box.” The first public exnibition of the army’s new adjunct, “the graphophone as a missionary and nickel collector,” was illustrated with songs and speech. Some spectacular object- lessons of the army’s work among the poor were shown with telling effect. The entertain- ment closed with the singing of “'Amer- 1ict CHINESE BURGLAR.

He arrested bim, and on opening the bundie found it contained about $500 worth of silks. Ah Poo told the officer that some man bad left the bundle «bere and bad asked him to call for it. Detective Reynolds ascertained that Ah Poo was formerly emvloyed by Mrs. Bow- bay. He had entered the premises by climbing a fence 1n the rear and sliding down a rope through a ventilator. He had used some of the silks stolen on De- cember 25 to line his underciothing. Ah Poo is an old offender.

SOLDIERS' TEAM DEFEATED. A Picked Nine With an Tanocent Name Humbles Presidio Pride. The soldiers’ baseball team from the Presidio was defeated yesterday afternoon at Central Park by a nine nominally made up of employes of the Galifornia market, but really a picked team, including much of the available professional and experi- enced talent of the City. The score was 8 to 1, but the teams were very nearly matched. Wheeler, who vitched the last few innings for the sol- diers, showed form that might have saved the blueboats the game had it been used from the start. Among; the few brilliant plays was a pretty ‘ight-hband stop by Lanigan of a high liner that he took in time to.double up on a soldier stealing from second. About 600 persons were present. Many of :hem lingered on the rounds after the game, hoping that a big hot-air bailoon and a pendant airship with an advertising notice attached misht finally be made to raise, but they wers disappointed. The big balloon would only swell out slowly and barely maintain a rotund form. Following is the detailed score of the game: U.S REGULARS. AB R BIL SBE P.o. A Meyers, ¢ &;. 1.

Asis pretty generally known the pur- pose of the North California division in sending its delegates East was to secure an amendment to the racing rules provid- ing for divisional option on the question of Sunday racing, that is, that each State should have the right to decide for itself whether or not it would sanction cycle racing on Sunday. 7This division was en- titled to seven delegates, two of whom, Mr. Welch and Judge Frank H. Kerrigan, went in person, carrying the proxies of the other tive. In New York City th-y met Frank W. Fuller, who accepted & proxy, went with them to Albany and materially assisted in the work. Mr. Welch felt rathertired on his retarn last night, but said to a CALL reporter that be was glad to be home and among his friends once more, and to ha tunity to express himself on h “We went there,” he said, *'e: g that we were going to at least a quasi- fraternal association, to deal with a lot of fair, generous men. We founa them sour, selfish and narrow-minded. We receivea absolutely no courtesies from any of them, and, accustomed as we were to the warm- hearted hospitality of Californians, the surprise was most complete. “To show you bow littie sympathy the L. A. W. has for its racing interests—at the time we werediscussing the admission of professionals to- membership, which was defeated, by the way, and the argu- ment was made that we contsolled them and yet aliowed them no representation, the reply wasthat we did not ask them to come to us, they sougut us and asked for our protection. If they don’t like what they get, let them get down and out. “During tte argument on Sunoay rac- ing one man from Louisiana was telling how badly they needed it there; tnat meets were only held on Baturdays or bolidays and tracks were a financial loss or had to be abandoned entirely. I saw and heard men in that assembly nudge each other and say they were glad to hear it. “As a matter of course, the L. A. W. does not care a snap for racing. 1v’s hae- and-ery is good roads; and yet that is the biggest farce in the world. There is abso- lutely no interest in it and the L. A, W. is not creating any. Isaw that man Potter presiding at a good roads meeting at [ Albany and listened to some crank tel! how you could put down cioth and lay asphalt or macadam on it and make a splendid road. The good roads banquet was a farce. There was to be a night ses- sion of the Good Roads Congress, so the members of the Legislature could attend. Well, 1 believe there were six peojie present, spaper men inciuded, ¥t was an awiul fizzie. Nobody of any import- ance took any notice of it. The league gets its prestige and its name from its racing interests, the very thing those shortsighted erners are trying to down. “*Now, the position I take is just this: At present we cannot do much, although lilinois, Missouri, Colorado anda all the ‘Western States, save and except that little South California division, are only wait- ing for us to take the initiativé and they will follow. But there must be some or- ganization, some bead to it, and who is zoing totskeit? There mustbe somebody of character and energy to take hold of it, and the trouble is those who have been doing the most talking have no standing. “What I suggest is that we first wait and see what action the executive com- mittee takes at its meeting in New York to-morrow. Kerrigan is there and wili k them to insiruct the racing board not to suspend any riders who race in Califor- nia on Sunday. If they agree to this our point is partly gained and we can struggle along for a while longer. If not it is time 10 call a meeting of thie local board of offi- cers and dis3uss what action isto be taken. *If the racing board gets into shape and a circuit is arranged to start from here, and many Enastern riders come here, per- it would be best to wait until thev have gone. Our tracks cannot exist as they are, however. They must promote Sunday racing to pay even expenses. the executive committes permits it all discontent will be allayed and we will have no immediate grievance. Otherwise the tracks will promote it anyway, and there will be plenty of men who will Tide. Who of our California boys will eo East this year? Probably only four—Ziegler, McFarland, Wells and “Bob” Terrill. i Sunday racing for plethoric purses may | keep them here to say nothing of attract- ing the Eastern cracks. *‘I don’t believe there will be much oli this so-called circuit racing this year. don’t believe the manufacturers are goin, to support teams. I heard Tom Lck di cussing it at the New York show. He said he thought there were only about twelve men signed so far. And there are 1900 professiorals in America, whom the league felt itself too good to admit to member- ship. With no teams or circuits what are these men going to do? I think, with frequent opportunities for racing here and good purses, we will attracta large num- ber of them. I imagine Sunday racing will develop new men fast, too. We are really in a better position to start out tor ourselves than any other Etate. “The only reason for California adher- g to the league is for our racing interests. If we cut loose in that regard nothing re- mains. In what mannerdid the East as- sistin the passage of our baggage bill? It was by our own individual efforts. We could have got it under any other name besides the L. A.W. with the same efforts. And this applies to our roadbook and everything else. Everything is done by the divisions, and yetWe turn over one- third of our dues to the home office which helps to pay fat salariés to a favored few.” Continuing, Mr. Weich talked very rapidly as he enthused to his subject. He said the racing interests of the lengue just now were badly demoralized. Mr. Gideon would not accept reappointment as chairman of the racing board, and he himself would no longer represent it in California unless Sunday racing_ be per- mitted.. Mr. Croninger of Kentucky would probably be the only incumbent reappointed. A. G. Batcnelder of New York was a likely candidate for chairman. Mr. Welch said Gideon had been an ex ceedingly fairand impartial man, gentle- manly and popular, who ruled with a rod of iron, yet was admired and respected. He compared him with George H. Strat- ton, late chalrman of Associated Cycling Clubs’ racing_board of this State. Of ex-President Elliott of Boston he could not say too much. He was a splenaid man and deserved re-election. But he was a victim of the questionable politics of the New York division and was turned down for Potter. Monahan, the chief consul of the South California division, stood in with the Potterites and fought the Sunday-racing proposition tooth and nail. He was very unpopular with the delegates, but could be utilizea to good advantage, and they made the most of him. Mr. Welch said both he and Mr. Ker- rigan were thorough!y disgusted. They had given several years to the work of the league in this State and felt they had accomplished much good for its members bere. He says Kerrigan is all broken up over the resuit and of their treatment there, and does not feel that he can come back here and do any more. The Potterites promised their support to California and to every one else who wanted anything at the assembly in re- turn for the election of the Potter ticket. This ticket went through with the exce tion of the treasurer. And then the fall came, Delegation tarned_down, California included. Ot course New York with the fifty-six dele- gates, whose vote Potter held in the palm of his hand, so to speak, had practically the control of everytbing, and Potter broke his promises faster even than he made them, eager as he was. setts, Lilinois, the South and tue West, all have grievances, and they will Dot be easily assuaged. Some of the methods empioyed at that assembly would make a ward politician turn green with envy and put Tammany itse!f to shame. “We had an agreeable trp both going and coming,” Mr. Weich concluded. “It snowed a little in New York and also at Albany the morning of the dey our Sun- day racing proposition came up. It wasa Fridav and I remarked something about superstition to Judge Kerrigan at break. fast. The Judge was pretty glum then, for our defeat was foreshadowed by tne turn of events of the previous day, but his usual wittiness asseried itself and be said it wou'd be a cold day if we got left—and it was.” Mr. Welch returned alone. Mr. Fuller stopped off at Chicagoand Judge Kerrigan is still in New York. B th will be home in the course of the next ten days and their return will signal something startiing in the North California Division of the League of American W beelmen. MINGLED IN THE DANCE. Councils No, 28, A. P. A., and No. 11, W. A. P. A,, Enjoy an Enter- tainment. An interesting and enjoyable entertain- ment and hop was given in honor of the anniversary of Washington’s birthday last night in California Hall, 620 Bush street, by Council No. 23, American Protective Association, ably assisted by Council No. 11, Woman’s American Protective Asso- ciation. The address delivered by Dr. George L. Fitch was the event of the evening. The large hall, which had been decorated for the occasion, was full to overfl)win- with invited guests and mem- bers of the councils as the doctor spoke his words of welcome. He then entered at some length upon the subject of his ad- dress, ““The Lost Ten Tribes of Israel.” Following is the programme rendered: Overture, Mearns’ band; song, Miss Ethel Wollenberg; address, Dr.’ George L. Fitch; iano s0i0, Mrs. Sadie Wollenberg; vocal duet, rs. Gingles and Mrs. Hicks. At the conclusion of the programme the many dancers present were enabled to enjoy themselves untiia late hour.

The Little Hatchet and the Cherry Tree Artistically Utilized for Decorations. Clinging Ivy Vines From Washington’s Grave Twined Round the Menu Cards. In no world more than in that sphere where pleasure rules supreme does nov- eity make a leader and create a following. In spite of this undeniable fact for some time past it has appeared as though society had exhausted all the resources for the creation of the new, and it remained for Mr. and Mrs. [. W. Hellman to present to the devotees of fashion an entertain- ment at once patriotic, unique and original. This entertainment was nothing more nor less than a colonial dinner to cele- brate the birthday of Washington. The history of the father of his country | and that of the clerry tree are so closely allied that it was most natural that the decorations should consist entirely of cherry blossoms. Neither was the historic little hatchet missing, but was found deeply imbedded in the cherry bark that nestled in the midst of mach floral love- liness. The menu cards were an inspira- tion—each course was marked by some bit of wisdom of the first President, and the card was tied to a tiny piece of cherry bark and trimmed round with ivy that had been brought from the last resting-place of Washington. Mrs. Hellman and Miss Hellman, at- tired in- colonial gowns, received the guests, filty in number. Three round tables were used and an elaborate menu discussed.
