This afternoon the last carload of the property of the Salvation Army was moved from the Kighth-street castle. The old building has been purchased for | $400 by the owner of the land, and its ¢ ances are about equal of being trans- formed into a cheap dancehouse or a large Chinese laundry. The castle on Eighth street, which is well known on account of its peculiar architecture and great size, was the first place opened by the Salvation Army on the Pacific Coast, and over the door the sign “Cal.

When as young, the headquarters for Coast and their trade-depart- ment were guartered on the upp-r floor, while the meetings were held downstairs. With the immense growth of the army, the place has long since been discontinued as headquarters, but was kept up as a training garrison and meeting-house. Two years ago the town grew away from the location of the barracks and the corps removed to the old People’s Theater on Twelfth street, leav- ing the old castle for a dormitory for the cadets. During the past few days the officers in training bave been moving their belong- | ings, and now the historic_battie-ground | of the early days of the army is entirely | deserted by the peop'e who builtit. The | castle was buiit by the donauions of days’ work by enthusiastic followers.

H: Soon After Became Delirious and Never Recovered From the Shock. OAKLAND OFFICE SAN FrANCIsco CALL, 908 Broadway, March 4. } Clande Marx died at Lorin to-ni.ht as the result of being struck over the head by a schoolmare yesterday afternoon. Marx, who is 12 years of age, and Paul Clyde, anotber lad, were playing in the school-yard yesterday. In some manner or other, which is not yet made clear to the Coroner, Clyde struck Marx over the head with a stick. Marx did not complain much at the time, but soon after he went home he commenced to feel sick. Later he became delirious and Dr. L Cohn was called. The doctor treated the boy, but he gradually became worse and to-night he iied. Dr. Cohn reported the case to Coroner Baldwin and an inquest wiil he hela to- morrow. The two boys have always been friends and the fatal blow, siruck was, 0 it is said by Clyde, to be simply a boy- ish freak, the blow striking with more force than was anticipated and in a place not intended. “Idon’t know how the blow was struck,” said Dr. Cohn to-night. *‘But death was evidently the result of concussion of the brain, I am assured that the affair occurred in a olayful way, and that there was no quarrel between the lads,” The dead boy was one of the most popular lads in the school, and the whole class expresses 1ts horror at the fatal result.

Chief Crowley Calls Upon the M m- bers of the Pol'cs Forcs to Help The citizens’ relief committee for the unemployed is doing all in its power to further the cause for which it was organ- ized, and several bodies have undertaken to assist in the project. The great desire, aside from providing temporary relief for those in want, is to proviie employment for the majority. Itisbelieved that when the ocean boulevard frcm Golden Gate Park to the county line is started the ae- sired relief will be obtained. Yesterday the deeds to the land were presentea by the Spring Valley Water Company and Adolph Sutro. The former conveys a strip 2500 feet long and about 100 feet wide, from Seventh avenue to Lake Honda; also a atrip 800 feet long by 70 feet wide along the edge of the lake on the south side. The only conditions are thut Mr. Sutro shall deed a strip 100 feet wide from the Almshouse property to the county line and time given for the come pany to make the necessary zalterations in 118 vipe lines. Mr. Sutro’s deed contained a clause that cansed a hitch in it being accepted at once. It stipulates that no sewer shall ever be constructed in any part of the boulevard or portion thereof running | through Mr. Sutro’s land for five years without his consent or thereafter without the consent of the majority of the prop- erty-owners.

The Alcazar Company Gives an Amusing Performanc: cf “By Proxy.” Fanny Rice and her company gave “A Flower Girl of Paris” at the Columbla Theater last night for the first time in this City. The workis described as an operatic costume comedy, and to some extent jus- tifies the description, for the greater part of the music consists of ‘‘gems” culled from op ras, ranging from *Dorothy” to Rigoletto,” and the cestumes, of the *powder, puint and patches’ period, are for the most part exceedingly handsome. Miss Rice should modify her flower cos- tume in the first act, though, for it makes her look Iike a bank whereon the wild thyme blows. The plot of A Flower Girl oi Paris,’” althouzh easy to fo/low, has a zood many intricacies avhich give opportunit es to the star for the display of her vivacity. Miss Rice also sings a good deal more than was the case in ** The French Ball.”” Most of the members of the supporting company have congenial roles in ‘" A Flower Girl of Paris.’’ Several of the vocal numbers were encored last night. The piece will run for the rest of the week and on Monday Joseph Haworth and Margaret Craven will appear in “Ruy Bias,” preceded by the curtain-raiser, **A Man of the Worls The Alcazar company has been strengthe ened this week by the addition of Adele Belgarde and Cbharles Wyngate. ‘‘By Proxy” is going with plenty of spirit. Miss Belgarde has a congenial part in the role of the adventuress, Olga Claremont, and she more than fulfills her promise made to Percival Medwyn in tne first act, that she will make things lively for him. Miss Kittie Belmour succeeds in being thoroughly at home as the American “mommer.” George Osbourne gives an amausing idea of the erring ‘‘popper,” who does not attend divine service quite s often as ne gives his family to understand. The bright and breezy barnstormer ©8i Perkins” is going on its irrespon- sible way at the Bush.street with a / 2 : W’J‘MW@W The “Si” Perkins at the Bush- Street Theater. success due to its merits and the good acting of those who take part in it. The villainous deacon still murders the heroine and throws her into the mill- race without incarring any after-effects in the way of legal fines and imprison- ments, and the heroine still serenely in the arms ot 8i Perkins, none the worse for her ducking or the stabfrom the wicked-looking stiletto. W. M. Cooley represents the deacon especially well, and he is even better as the rich old invalid disgusted at the incursion of the Goths, who come to pay their respects to his newly 10ond daughter. All the parts are well played. “Shore Acres” seems to be growing more and more on the 8an Francisco pub- lic, for the atiendance at the Baldwin 0es on increasing in: d of diminishing.
