! i 6 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, MONDAY, JUNE 14 1897. A CHANCE T0 | HELP THE CITY Contributions to the Chris- tian Endeavorers’ Big Convention. Still a Considerable Amount to Be Collected to Insure Its tuccess. Every Cent Given to This Object Will Be an Advertisement to the State. In twenty-five days the streets of thix City will be crowdea with visitors, who will come from the North, South, Eist and even the West to attend the great | International Christian Endeavor con- vention. For nearly a year the local Endeavorers have been planning and working to give the visitors a hearty reception and enter- tain them in a manner worthy of Ca fornia’s proverbial hospitality. All who attend the convention will pay their own expenses while in the City, and it has been estimated that from a financial point of | view the City will profit to the extent of | fully $500,000. 1t is impossible, however, | to estimate the value ol the convention from an advertising standpoint. The committee of *97 have sent out nearly half | a million circuiars, letters and posters ad- | vertising the State, its wonderful climate, | flowers and fruits, offering a tempting in- | ducement 10 the Eastern people who are | either feeling the effects of a blizzard or being scorched by the heat. At present it | is hardly possible to look over tue adver- | tising pages of any magazine without | reading of the special rate of $25 from Chicago to California which is ‘‘open to 1.” "lhunk- to the 2500 Endeavorers who have given their serv ces freeiy in order | 10 receive and entertain the visitors, the committee of '97 will need only acout $25,- | 000 to cover the expenses of meeting places, alvertising, speakers, etc., jusi about one-iourrn the amount usually asked to entertain other convantions of a | simiar sige. Much of this amount wi pledged last year, but there is still a con- siderable sum to be coliected and pledged before the $25,000 mark is reached and there is but little time in which to do it The following is s partial list of the col- lections, which will be completed as the work progresses: asly reported...........

The strings are_stretched across the sounding-board #s in the ordinary piano, but the entire bammer mechanism is absent. Instead, the depressing of the key puts in action a magunet, which automatically attracts and releases the wire, this producing vibra. tions without the metallic stroke which | accompanies the sound in the common type. The resulting effect upon the tones is said to be very remarkable. The high notes resemble those of an Aolian harp. The middle and lower notes are likea “cello or an organ. It responds readily to every variation in power and expression. A note can be sounded for several minutes without varying in quality. Bo radically different from ali existing instruments are the effects that & new style of music is needed to bring out its capabilities. ———— | among the members of the N. G.

FRANX COFFIN QUITS CHURCH His Tenor Notes No Longer Thrill Grace Church Auditors. Short'y Aiter the Shaving Edict He Fo'ded Up His Veeal Ecore. His Physician A1vised Him That It Would Not Be Prudent for Him to Sing in Choruses, With whiskers or without, Frank Coffin, who has delighted thousands with his sweet voioe, will not sing again at Grace Episcopal Church after the close of this month. As Miss Carrie Gwin, one of the execu- | tives in the musical affairs of the church, stated yesterday, *‘Ours is a choir of men, not boys,”” and it is upon that platform that these sweet singers are said to stand. It has already been told how a spirit of mutiny rose when it was suggested to the dozen members of the choir that their notes wouid sound clearer from lips un- | incumbeiea with bair, and that an en- foicement of the edict calling for a| smooth-faced choir might resultin a gen- eral exodus from about the organ. Be this as it moy the fact remains that Frank Ccffin bas resigned his position, Whether or not the ordinance of the | ladies controlling the musical board of Grace Church prohibiting the wearing of whiskers affected Mr. Coffin so as to make him give up a lucrative situation after two years of steady emplovment is a matter that he alone can teil, and this he will not do. Miss Gwin, however, deplores that the | whiskers story ever went Dbey the | nner circle, as she says that no edict of the kind would ever have been enforced, even if the board bad it within its power to dictate anvthing of th~ kind. | “It is true,” she said, * resizned from the Grace Ch His resignation was requested last week, and he will cease his connection with the choir at the end of this month. ““The reason for our request that he re- sign is understood by mim and is quite simple. We requested bim to sing in choruses, and he objected to sing anything but solos. His physician, so be said, had forbidden him singing in choruses, and we do not need him as a soloist. “In other words, we have been paying him $40 each month to sing for us in | choru and as he cannot do it, or will not, we must 100k or some one else Wwho will, Mr. Coffin’s resignation will in no way affect the remaining members of the choir.” PROGLENS EXPLAINED, Another Defense by the Garrison at the Presidic—Mor- tar Practice. A N'w Rifi- Ranze—Tae New F ring Regulations Wiil Giva Diversi= fied Practic —Post Contest. During the past week there were presented several problems to the officers of the garri- son at the Presidio for practical explanation. The principal one ot ihese was & defense of the gariison something on the lines of the out- Post duty that was had some time since. The | placing of the men on the delensive showed that the officers in charge had gone over the field carefuily, and with the available force at | band made a very creditable showing. There was also practice with the small mor- tars at figure targets, and the results were most satisfactors. The new rifle range has been built in the hollow from the base of Golf Hill, west of the pumping station, and as s0on as'the new fir- ing regulations are received target practice with small arms will be ordered. The new regulations do away with the old-style targets and instead thereof there are figures of a_man standing, another kneeling, s third lying down and a fourth a man on horseback. These are intended to represent the enemy at fixed distances. In addition to these the new regulations have been #0 arranged as to give men the prac- tice that they wouid use in actual warfare and in carrying out the new ideas the men will be drilled for battle conditions and will use their arms over diversified country, from behind cover and in the open. The new regu- lations will introduce many new features, and, in view of the danger of the use of ball: cariTidge in field exercise, the most rigid pre- cautions will have to be taken o prevent casualties. Itis expected that the target prac- tice at the new range will be ordered this month. Commencing to-morrow there will be prac- tice with the pneumatic dynamite guns st the | Fort Point battery. The officers of the post contest that bas been ordered for the 23d inst. at the Presidio an- nounce that there will be a number of very in- teresting events. Many of them will be pur: military and will be of acharacter that will engross the attention of the civilians who will attend. It is stated that a communication has been ent to the War Department on the subject of illuminating the post at the Presidio with electricity—lectric lights to replace the coal oll lamps now in use there. A recent order of the War Department says: “The commanding officer of each cavalry, ar- tillery and infantry regiment may, on the 1st of August of each year, nominate to the com- manding general of the army one subsltern for detail at Willets Point for a course of in- struction in torpedo service, commencing on the 1st day of November and ending on the 1t day of September following. The nomina- tions thus made will be forwarded through the reguiar military channels.”” Brigadier-General William R. Shalter has been detailed as a member of the army retir- ing board, vice General Forsyth retired from active service. Colonel Marcus P. Miller, promoted from lieutenant-colonel of the First Artillery to the Third, vice Bainbridge, retired, bas been or- dered 10 proceed to his regiment upon the ex- piration of his present leave of absence.

Babcock, assist- 2ot edjutant-general and aojutani-general of the Department of California, reached this Gity and reported to headquartérs last Satur- n the report of the athleiic contests, dated June 1, appear the following comments by the Post commander: These contests have exeited much interest 3 and the Naval Reserve, and arrangements have been made for a contest to be held some 1§ e next month between Company H, First Infantry, and the memoers of the above organizations, 1f successful they will be repeated.

Will the Military Instruction to B: imparted Prove o Any Practical Value ? The N-w Drill Regulations Will Be in Force After July 1—A Bat- talion Drill on the Avenue. As the time for encampments approaches the members of the National Guard are pre- paring to absent themselves for the seven days required by law that they shall remain away receiving instructions under “men * The officers of the several regiments are confident that they will have & good showing &s o members at the | severalicamps, and they undoubtedly will if | men can get away. The commander of & regi- ment said on Saturday: “It is impossible to say bow many men we will have at eamp for the reason that many of the men of my com- mand are employed in business from which it will be difficult for them to absent themselves for the required length of time. A mau who | has employment at this time-does not care to leave his job for seven days for fear that when he returns he will be told ‘wo have got along without you for seven daysand I guess we can getalong without you for the future.’ Itis the uncertainty of returning (0 positions that sence for the full term of the encampment.” 1f the commander is correct in his surmises then the camps will not be the great successes from a military standpoint that i is expected to make them. Every man in each regiment should have the benefit of the seven days’ in structions, if it is desired to teaca him much | that he ought to know, but if he can abseat | himseli for only three days and it takes nim | the best part of two to_reach the camp and re- | turn to the starting point, the amount of miis itary instruction he will receive will not avail | him much. | Of course it {s not to be_expected that mem. | bers of the National Guard can be soldiers of | | | 10 standard of those in the reguiar army, but they have much to learn—not only the men, but the officers who command them. _Liouten~ ant-Colonel Theodore J.

One matter that he ranks, and another the failure to keep proper distances. The fault is not only with compa- uies of the Second Regiment of the Third Bri- gade, but is noticeable in other orgau:zations of the Guard. He also suggests that some of theofficers should perfect themselves in the | manusl | | It is possible that at the camps the men, in- stead of being compelied to perform the same maneuvers that they perform in the armorie: will be called upon to execute problems th have been suggested to the reguiar army by | the War Department and which have been re- cently demonstrated by the garrison at the Presidio pest. 1f such 1s done 1t wili place the men—those who will take part in such ex- ercises—in closer touch with the regular army and enable them to act conjointly with it in case of need. The aim of the War Department | now is to have the National Guard o the scv- eral States come up as near the standard of the regular army as possible.

After the vacation in the Lowell High School | there will be a change in the officers of the | Cadet Corps, | A member of Company D of the First Regi- | ment, who evidently hurriedly read what was published lasi Thursaay in regard to Com. pany B decorating the graves of its deceased | members, writes: “In this morning’s issue of the San Francisco CALL I read that there was only one company in the Natfonal Guard that remembered its dead on Memorial day.
