10 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, MONDAY, MARCH 28, 1898. OFFICERS FOR COMING YEAR The French Benevolent| Society Elects Men to Control Its Affairs. A Heated Discussion as to the Method of Casting the Ballots. The Faction Known as the Parisians Wins and All Differences Are Settled. There was enough excitement in Na- tive Sons’ Hall yesterday to satisfy the most emotional members of the French | colony. It occurred during the an-| nual election of the French Mutual | Benefit Society, and was owing to a | dispute as to what was the proper way | to conduct the balloting. One faction, known as the Parisians, strongly con- | tended that the only way was to give | the ballot to the members as they en- | tered the voting booths, whereas the opposition, known as the Bernais, in- sisted that the ballots should be dis- | tributed in the hall to the members so that they could mark and deposit them | as they pleased. During the argument over the nu- merous motions made by excited par- ticipants, the Bernais opposition de- veloped a strong leader in J. A. Berge- rot, who in his enthusiasm overstepped the bonds of his side and was deserted by his own people. Bergerot mounted the platform and made a stirring gpeech, advocating the distribution of | the ballots so that the members could | mark them wit" »ut intimidation. Los- ing control of himself, he launched forth a tirade of abuse against his op- ponents, during which he was hissed and interrupted. In the midst of his speech he jumped from the platform, and, running to where the sealed bun- dle containing the ballots was, he broke it open, and grabbing a hand- ful, he again took his stand on the stage and continued his heated re- marks. A stout gentleman belonging to the | Parisian contingent took umbrage at | the remarks of Mr. Bergerot, and, mounting the platform, joined the de- bate. By this time it looked as if Bed- lam had broken loose. Excited mem- bers were on their feet expostulating, cheering, hissing and yelling in an ef- fort to quiet Mr. Bergerot. They might not Saeve succeeded had not the Ber- nais <iement, becoming tired of their leader’'s stand, joined in the hissing and general racket. Seeing himself deserted the little man grabbed his coat and hat, and after delivering a parting shot, emphasized with a shake of the fist, rgtired with colors flying. Matters then quieted down and Vice- President Cames had an opportunity | to place the questions before the body for a direct vote. It was then decided that the ballots should be given the voters as they entered the booth. From 2:30 until 6 o'clock the polls were open, and during that time 858 ballots were cast. Twenty-eight candidates for the gen- | eral committee were on the ballot, of | which fifteen were to be elected. As the destiny of this important society was placed in their hands it was deem- ed a great honor to be elected. Henry S. Martin led the van with a | vote of 510, and was closely followed | by the following gentlemen, who were | elected to the important office: J. Jul- lien, 498 Servedu, 474; A. Legallet, 469; e P. Cames, 4 J. Bergez, 445; L. ueraz, 444; B. 443; J. Desberat J. Bernou, 403; H. Fabregue, 381, Queyrel, 372. The unelected candidates recelved votes as follows: M. J. Bayle, 368; | P. A. Bergerot, 366; Plerre Berges, 361; | 436; R. Chart- Thomas La- and F. J. B. Lacaze, 355; B. Sarthou, 348; G. Pouchan, 344; Miqueu, e Bl Minvielle, 343; J. Loustale, 327; E. o. | Dupuy, 322; J. B.

This question can be readily answered by glancing over the history of the Chi- nese colony In this city, one of the larg- est, if not the largest, in America. FPast history will answer no, but the history of the tuture will record in its annals one of the most novel events of the present year—a real, genuine summer outing of the Chinese population of Frisco. The small boy was more than In his element yesterday afternoon; the curious and the inquisitive, and those thirsting for the unusual, had a treat which, in its novelty, has never before been equaled in a civilized community. The forty acres of ground which were bought in San Mateo County some weeks ago by the Ning Yun Association and set apart by its members as the “God's Acre” of the Chinese, or, more strictly speaking, the resting place for their de- ceased brethren, was formally dedicated yesterday afternoon. The dedication ceremony differed ma- terfally from that which Caucasians are usually in the habit of conforming to in a solemnity of this character, and, In- stead of sacred prayers and weird chant, our heathen brother ate rice and made merry. This eating of rice and making merry in American phraseoiogy would be con- tracted in the one word picnic, for in all respects the two are synonymous, if not tdentical. In order to defray the necessary ex- pense of placing the affair on the desired scale of sumptuosity, according to Chi- nese taste, each Ning Yun has been taxed $2 as his contribution toward the success of the affair. of Festivity. Chinatown cook shops as a natural con- sequence of this sudden flow of wealth have been in operation night and day pre- paring, flavoring, browning and toasting savory geese, palatable chickens and grease-bespattered hogs, and, in short, every possible de.lcacy that may tend to tickle the epicurean palate of the Orien- tal. Innocent and snow-white lambs, with red. white and blue tails, and ears to match, were there to add a tinge of relish to the general feast and watch over the festal board with their staring life- less eyes. These good things constituted the main feast, but not all by any means, for a banquet is not a banquet without des- sert. To supply this need there were watermelon seeds, both black and pink, candy, from a Chinese standpoint perfection itself, and an occasional indi- gestible “China clam.” An immense marble slab, with the Chinese inscription denoting vossession, and certifying that they obtained the ground by rightful grant, will be sent to the new cemetery next Saturday morning and wiu be in readiness to sink into the ground the following day as a mark of possession. To the sides of this slab are to be placed two additional sections of marble, drilled wiL.. nnumerable holes, 80 as to accommodate the insertion of the necessary number of punks, which, according to Chinese tradition, in an af- fair of this kind are absolutely necessary to assure success and ward off all possi- ble evil. Although the Chinese race is inclined to adopt American customs to some ex- tent, it hasn’t as yet reached that stage where the feminine mind entertains that acute foresight, the result of which is manifested in the light, airy and sum- mery costume of the summer girl, so appropriate for picnics. The belles of *“Fish alley” and the “upper ten” of Waverly place were seen at their best in variegated ‘‘pants” this season in the groves of San Mateo County, but it is hoped that they will cultivate their imitative faculty suffl- clently during the next year to provide an outing garment that will lead to some clew to the possible distinction between Mary and John. The Six Companies have purchased 4000 trees from a gardener in Redwood City at the rate of 5% cents apiece, which will be planted in their new cemetery directly opposite Holy Cross. The trees are a year old, and stand two feet apbove the ground. «lanting will commence im- mediately. A fence is to be erected round the entire area of the burial place and an enormous gate is to be placed directly in front of the by-path leading from the main road, and will afford the only means of ingress and egTess. The ground has been apportioned into six distinct aivisions, one for each of the six companies. Altars are also to be erected and will occupy positions im- mediately in front of each separate bur- lal ground. An enormous marble slab similar to that to be used by the Ning Yun Asso- ciation is to be placed directly inside the main gateway, and, like that of the Yun Company, will be erected as a mark of possession. The slab used for holding the sacred punk will also be arranged simi- larly to that of the Yuns. | | ) : ACHIEVED SUCCESS EARLY. Ethel Miss Clement Has a Picture Accepted by the Paris Salon. The latest triumph of a California girl in a foreign land is that of Miss Ethe] Clement, who has just won the distinction of having a picture ac- cepted by the Paris Salon. Miss Clement is the daughter of Lyman H. Clement, and was born in this city but twenty-three years ago. She left here a few years ago to study art in New York city under Kenyon Cox. Then she went to Paris and placed herself under MM. Le- fevre and Tony Robert Fleury, and such excellent use has she made of her opportunities that in three years she has achieved that for which many work a whole lifetime and then do not accomplish. The young lady belongs to a talented family being an own cousin to Mrs. H. H. A. Beach (Amy Marcy Cheney), who is one of the greatest liv- ing female composers. As a child Miss Clement displayed a remarkable talent for dr .wing. She possesses a particularly sweet and lovable disposition, and her many friends in this city will rejoice with her when they learn that her many vears of hard work and absence from home culminated in this succinct cablegram received yesterday by her father: “Accepted—Salon.” THE DAY AT THE CHURCHES. OUR ALLIES IN THE FIGHT. “Our Allies in the Fight” was the sub- ject of Rev. Dr. Hemphill's address last night at the Calvary Presbyterian Church. The text of the address was taken from the Fifty-fifth Psalm, In which David tells of his victory over his enemies. It was at a time when David thought himself unbefriended and did not expect any to be on his side, when suddenly he heard the tramp of an army, and he breaks forth with the utterance | of glad surprise, “‘there were many with me!"” “Do we, stand on the as Christians, | side of right? If we do, who stand with | us? The Supreme Power of the Universe is with us, and one with God is a major- ity. “Did the Spanish Government blow up in If she did she may squirm and play for delay, but the United States will not suffer her brave boys to be blown to atoms to make a Spanish holiday. The United States Government will protect her citizens and soldiers and punish those who outrage them. If we are fighting for the right we have God's angels on our side and they tell for many. They turn seeming minor- ities Into real majorities. When conflicts deepen on earth other worlds send hosts of eager combatants to the fray. Hell will do its werst to ruin us; bug be com- forted, heaven will do its best to save us. is the most powerful kingdom in the universe, and none may outrage a_citizen of that kingdom with impunity. The world is on our side. The svstem of nature has never been false to the right. The ordinances and means of grace are on our side. They who stand on our side tell many. The forces which are leagued against us are not the master forces of the universe. The master forces are on our side, and if we give them full play nothing can withstand us. When word was brought to Plymouth that the Span- ish armada was in sight Admiral Sir blue? | Francis Drake was playing a game of skittles, and the great naval hero insist- ed on finishing the game, saying ‘There will be plenty of time then to t the Spaniard’ A man of that mettle was very likely to beat the Spaniard. There is “another Spanish armada rushing across the Atlantic at present, but we are not afraid. We have a few American heroes who can play a game of skittles and whip the Spaniard in the bargain. And it is time to whip the Spanjard. Not because of the blow- ing up of the battleship and the boys in blue. We have to prove that yet, but be- cause of Spaln’s inhumanity to Cuba and the Cubans. In the name of humanity let the inhumanity cease. We do not want war, but we want the bloody inhu- manity to stop, and it must stop. Spain has always been inhuman. | going to get excited over Spain. We, as Americans, are slow to act in such emer- gencies, but we are slowly asserting our- selves in the cause of right, and when we move in that direction we move with a tremendous force. Let there be no flurry and no despair, only the calm confidence which is the herald and harbinger of vic- tory. If God be for us who can be agalnst us?’ e HEROIC SELF - SACRIFICE. “Christian Misslonarfes” was the sub- ject of the address given by Rev. John Stephens at the Simpson Memorial Meth- odist Episcopal Church last night. “The words of the text,” he said, “fur- nish the most startling romance of the nineteenth century; the facts of its his tory are stranger than fiction; the power of Christ over men was never more glo- riously exemplified than in missionary ef- fort. “We see the workings of an over- ruling providence subduing the rebellious kingdoms of the earth, and God has caused the wrath of men to praise him. The story of the occupation of Tur key, Siam, China and Japan is a marvel- ous narrative of the operation of divine grace, the missionaries themselves ex- hibit the fairest types of Christian chay acter that the century has produced, in their heroic self-secrifice; the work of such men as McKay, Livingston and Mof- fett have been uncqualed in the world. The power of the gospel is wonderfully illustrated in the conquests that have been jmade over heath;n depravity; mirs ve_been wrought in - mations eoyr genad?d Batures, o rensfor as written of th success of missionaries in uén‘ifa‘é’“’v'.'r’fx'éfi has 120,000, where Stanley found scarcely one Christian twenty years ago.” —ags MISSIONARY EIFERPRISE. At the Howard-street Methodist Z copai Church at 11 a. m. the pf;;’:r preached on the threefold mission of Christ, the church and the individual to save the world, from Luke xxiv:26-27. “Thus it is written, and thus it behooved Christ to suffer, to rise agaln on the third day, that repentance and remission of sins might be preached in his name among all nations, beginning at Jerusa- lem.” The sermon was on Christian missions, and he said in part: The ob- Jjection is made that the results of for- eign missionary work-are so inadequate. Let us see. The most successful Christian organization on this continent has been Methodism, which from 1766 to 1847 has developed an actual membershi of 800,000 and a constituency of 25,000,000, The Methodist Episcopal church entered China in 1848, and was there ten years be- fore a single convert was made. We have now a membership of 20,000 as the result of thirty-nine years’ work, but it took ‘We are not | our Methodist fathers twenty years to 1 consisted ‘of an expansion of the abov win that number in Christian America. To do half as well in heathen nOn-pro- gressive China does not speak 50 badly or_results. We entered India {n 1857, but because of the Sepoy rebellion our work scarcely began until 1859. In these thlng‘nine years we have won a membership in India of §1,000. It took thirty-six years to do as well in America. In Japan we have been laboring twenty- five years and number 4722. It took ten years to win as many in America. In ten years in Korea we have won to Christ 13i2. And we were seven years in converting _as many to Methodism in America. Remember that our first con- vert from heathenism in Asia was made in 1838, just thirty-nine years ago, and that we now number of converts from Asfatic heathenism and Mohammedism 106,592, and it took thirty-seven years in America from the introduction of Meth- odism to win as many, leaving heatnen Asia_but two years behind. Methodism has_to-day in foreign countries as a product of her missionary enterprises 168,000 converts, and it took us from 1766 to 1810 to win as many at home. William Carey began the Baptist mis- sions in Burmah in_1814. Fifty-six years later they numbered 100,000 converts, and in our own work at home it took thirty- six years to win an equal number. Captain Cook discovered the Sandwich Islands about the time that the authori- ties in France were proclaiming that there was no God. Fifty vears later these islands_were wholly ianized _and taken from the list of missions, and be- came themselve: al contributors to missions. the des ndants of these French ists were starving | from the effects of the German siege of Paris, the children of the cannibals dis- covered by Captain Cook raised, and for- warded $2000 to relicve thelr sufferings. The net profit of the commerce of the United States with the Sandwich Islands amounts to a larger sum than the whole Christian world e nded for their con- version in fifty vears. Now, tell me if the results of missionary enterprise are fnadequate? And besides all this the word of Christ is that his word shall be preached among all nations, beginning with the worst and most hardened. REV. DR. LOCKE ON GLAD- STONE. The Christian manliness of England’s Grand Old Man was the subject selected by Dr. C. E. Locke of the Central Met} odist Church on Mission street la night. The great statesman, who is now hovering between life and death at his home in Hawarden was compared as second to none living to-day in his match- less championship for the rights and equalities of, not only the English people, but also of the entire human race. Glad- stone has done more to prepare England for a republican form of government than all other men put together of the present century. His manliness and his Chris- tian character went hand in hand all through his eventful career. His defense of the divinity of Christ against the on- slaughts of such a man as Ingersoll proved to the thinking and reading world that he was an exceptionally brilliant man, and withal a sound belléver in the divinity of Christ. - NECESSITY OF ANCE. The mission which will be held at St. Mary’'s Cathedral during this week was commenced yesterday morning with sol- emn services. A solemn high mass was celebrated at 11 o’clock, and a sermon on the subject of the ‘‘Objects of the Mis- slon” was delivered by his grace Arch- bishop Riordan. The Rev. Father Hanni- gan acted as celebrant of mass, assisted by Father C. A. Ramm as deacon, Father Dempsey as sub-deacon and Father Yorke as master of ceremonies. Archbishop Riordan, in expounding the subject of his address, brought out in prominence and emphasized the necessity of repentance as a means of redemption. “The objects of the mission,” he said, ‘‘are to bring the indifferent and stray sheep to repentance, and by cleansing their souls bring them nearer to God. The mission is to instruct and point out the necessity of a thorough hatred of sin as a means to eternal happiness.” The preacher cited various characters of the Bible and spoke of the misslon as highly essential both for the good and bad, and not merely for the sinful, as many think. At the conclusion of mass benediction of the blessed sacrament was solemnized, being said by the Archbishop, assisted by the various priests. The mission will close at vespers next Sunday evening. During the week masses will be said daily at 5:45, 7 and 9 o’clock. A short instruction witi be given at early mass and a sermon at 9 o’clock. Rosary, benediction and a special sermon by Fath- er Yorke will be given every evening. Confessions will be held at all hours Thursday, Friday and Saturday. S e THE CALVARIAN SOCIETY. The usual Lenten exercises of the Cal- varian Society were solemnly gbserved at the cathedral yesterday afternoon. Father Ramm delivered an eloquent ser- mon, taking for his text ‘‘God’s Mercy."” The stations of the cross were said by Father E. P. Dempsey; singing of the Stabat Mater by the entire congregation followed. Benediction was solemnized by :‘ea’»’ther Ramm, assisted by Father Demp- REPENT- Lt LENTEN SERVICES. The usual Lenten services were observed by the cadets of the League of the Cross in the various parish: throughout the city vesterday afternofn. At St. Peters' Church, in the Mission, the entire regi- ment in that parish attended service in full uniform, tg regimentals of the League. The churcn was crowded by both young people and old, and many of the hymns were sung gg éhe congregation as well as by the ca. B s Ban R SERMON BY REV. FATHER YORKE. 3 “What doth it profit a man if he gain the whole world and suffer the loss of his own soul?” was the subject of the first of a series of six sermons which will be de livered by Father Yorke every evening of the present week, and was delivered at the cathedral last evening. The sermon | store. | corher is one of the most prominent in e officers bearing the full | |or. text, and was glven for the purpose of tracing man's duty towards God, and the strict adherence fo religious duty as the only possible means of salvation and eter- nal_happiness. 5 ““We should strive after the happiness that toucheth the soul and not that which toucheth the body,” said the preacher; to save our souls we must remember | that it is an individual duty that each man must do for himself. What are the glories of the world compared to those above? Our minds should not be filled | with thoughts of the world, but wa | should consider where we came from and | whither we are going. God did not make | us for the world; he made us for him- self and placed us in the world in order to fit curselves to live with him everlast- Ingly in the world to come. God put us into the world and gave us life, and with it the exercise of free will; but this soul that he has breathed into our bodies can- not be saved by him, but must be done 50 by our efforts alone.” Ror e diingg “OURSPANISH RELATIONS” “Our Spanish Relations” was the sub- Ject of an address delivered last evening by Rev. W. E. Dugan at the Stewart Memorial Presbyterian Church. In part he said: “Our relations with Spain are becoming more and more critical. The Maine dis- aster was a terrible thing. But the cruel- ties of Spain as practiced upon the peo- ple of Cuba are atrocious beyond all idea. The people are slowly but surely being butchered through the process of starva- tion. Grim war is a dreadful thing but | inviting as compared to the crude sav- | agery going on down in Cuba. Oh, God, | has the world swung back to heathenism | and the cruelties’ of despotic darkness? | Is the vile heart of Nero resurrected and throbbing in the breast of the Spanish nation today? | “‘Senator Thurston said in his speech on | the Cuban situation, ‘Spain has set up more crosses in more lands and under | them butchered more people than all | other nations of the globe combined.’ That butchery to-day is taking on a most tyrannical and oppressive nature, and | shall we, the liberty-loving people of the United States, tolerate it longer? Above all, shall we, the followers of Jesus | Christ, stand indifferent while our broth- ers cringe in the cruel agonies of a death | of slow starvation? Peter brought the | power of 0oGd through his helping hand | | and sympathetic heart to the poor crip- ple at the beautiful gate. Our brothers in Cuba are in a_more critical condition | than was that crippled beggar. The na- | tions of the earth look on in cold in- difference. Let us, as the successors of Peter and followers of Christ, demand our own government to interfere and put an | end to things that are a disgrace to civ- flization. When strong-hearted Senators break down and weep like babies as they did_when Thurston set before them the awful atfocities, we may be sure that the situation is most critical, and the poor starving natives deserve the sympathy and help of the people of civilization. In the name of God let us give them all neededhelp—firearms, If needed.” MURDERED N A BASEMENT The Body of Charles Gates, a Tamale Seller, Found at Midnight. No Motive Assigned for the Crime, but It Is Belisved to Have Been Robbery. Charles Gates, a tamale seller, doing business on the corner of Broadway and Thirteenth streets, Oakland, was found | cruelly murdered at midnight last night by a party or parties unknown. His body was found by an employe of the store at the corner named. It was lying in the basement under Steffnonia’s A piece of gaspipe, which may have been the weapon of death, was lying beside the dead man. No motive but rob- bery is assigned to account for the crime. Gates kept a tamale stand on this cor- ner, and is usually on hand all night.

Unfortunately she did not do her regular specialty, but, for the nonce, played the part of a spectator, and consequently the large audience, | comprising Chinatown’s four hundred, | who had gathered to see the ninety- seventh act of the latest Peking suc- cess, “The Green Dragon and the Yel- low Dog,” missed the treat that their white brethren will enjoy at the Bald- win this evening. Miss Held is an inquisitive little bit of Parisian femininity and the minute her car rolls into a city she starts out to see all of the place that is worth looking at, in which laudable endeavor every minute of her time, when she is not on the stage, is employed. Yester- day she organized a party®to go through Chinatown, after the fair Anna herself had slept off the fatigue of an afternoon ride to the CIliff, where she had been to look at ‘ze leetle zeel- skins.” Miss Held was awakened from her slumbers in her private car, and going into her boudoir emerged in a few minutes clothed in a light brown street dress and ready for her visit to the haunts of the descendants of the Tartar | kings. So the whole party, consisting | of Miss Held herself, George Bowles, | her manager, F. Ziegfeld Jr. and | Charles Hanlon, the lawyer, who was off on their tour. “Ees it not droll, ze musik, and ze szmell, mais, but zat ees not zo droll as ze odder,” was the comprehensive and critical remark that the Chinese | theater provoked as the party passed | through the doors and, forcing its way | through crowds of unwashed Cantonese | that lined the walls and blocked the | passage ways, took their places in a the management with a brand new American flag in honor of the distin- | guished professional visitor. Miss Held | sat and gazed at the stage with interest | while the audience of males in the pit sat and “rubber-necked” at her heed- the | hearts of half the gay people on the | American continent, made her first ap- | pearance on the San Francisco stage | ADVERTISEMENTS.

The | men had not,seen anyone so attractive as this girl ffom across the water for | many a long day and resolved to have | all the fun they could out of the sight | while it lasted even though it meant a hot time when they retired for the | night behind the domestic privacy of | their fireside mattings. | From the theater the party went | through opium dens, where the drowsy | devotes of the poppy awoke from their | dreams long enough to strike for dime and immediately relapsed their state of coma, where ladies of no especial reputation peeped at it from out strange barred windows and passed remarks which were fortunately not understood; to tea houses where Miss Held ate French bon-bons and refused tea; to Murderer’s alley, where her disappoint- ment had been assuaged by the expla- nation that only the early morn- ing hours were devoted to Kkill- ing, owing to a superstition that it was unlucy to get a shot or a stab in the dark; to the Grand Hotel, where the leper exhibited his shrunken limbs and told about the time he used to do politics for Dr. O'Donnell, and where the guide tried to explain to Miss Held what politics meant, and was resusci- tated with difficulty; to a drug store where perfume was purchased to kill the odor of the opium joints, and where the party hurried into the open air trving to get rid of the perfume, and in each place Miss Held would turn to the person nearest to her and ask ques- tions in a mixture of French and Eng- lish which wera cnly exceeded in their unintelligibility by the answers re- ceived. The last place visited was a Chinese pawnshop, whre Mr. Bowles seemed to be perfectly at home and instinctively reached for his watch, but.recollecting himself asked the Chinese behind the counter what he would loan on-the girl and was promptly offered $500, with 5 per cent off, as the feet did not come up to the Oriental standard. As the party turned from Chinatown proper into the environs on the way home Miss Held was heard to inquire confidentially of the guide as to the identity of “ze -Mistair Ah Zeed,” who she had heard was ‘“ze fren of Mistair Billee Emerson, who maik ze pairsons laugh.” ADVERTISEMENTS.
