Biograph Projections at the Olympia Enthusi- astically Received. The patriotism of shouts and applause took hold of the audience at the Olympia last night when the biograph pictures of the wrecked Maine and Cuban scenes were projected on the canvas. Just as | soon as the disastrous news of the de- | struction of the Maine reached New York a corps of kinetoscope operators was dis- patched to the scene and pictures were taken. These were presented last night at the Olympia for the first time in San Francisco. The first picture which aroused the emo- tions of the audience was the distribution of food to the reconcentrados at Lo Fosos relief station, Havana.

A Good Selection for Quarter- master of the Fifth Regiment, Ambitious Signalmen Climb the Rug- ged Sides of Mount Tamalpais for Practice Work. On the 1st of March last the numerical strength of the National Guard of the State of California was a little in excess of 4700 men, as appedared by the rolis in the office of the adjutant-general. Since the orders were given, on prospects of war, to captains of companies to recruit up to the maximum and the placing in the armories of emergency rolls the guard has, according to all reports, been re- cruited up to its full strength, and there are in some companies more enrollments on the emergency roll than will make up the maximum of 103, rank and file. This would bring up the strength at this | time, including the commander-in-chief and staff, division commander and staff, three brigade commanders and staffs, three signal corps, four troops of cavalry, naval militia, five regiments of infantry, sanitary corps and cadet corps, up to 6800 men. The majority of the men who have been sworn into the service of the State and the majority of those who have signed the | emergency rolls are men between the age | of 18 and 45, while in the ranks already sworn in as National Guardsmen there} are a number of men who have grown gray in the service of the State and have passed the 45 year notch. There is some degree of curiosity among the guardsmen | | as to the number of men who will pass muster when called upon to appear before the mustering officers designated by the War Department. 1t is the belief, how- ever, that the rejection of men will not be very large, as it is probable that the examination of the volunteers will not be as severe as it is for the regular army. The officers of the several divisions are apprehensive that they will be ordered Dbefore the examining board, and as an ex- amination before a board of United States officers means more than such examina- tion before boards in the National Guard in the past has meant, there have been a great many close students of late making fhemselves familiar with all the details of to which they belong. ce THE FIRST REGIMENT INFANTRY. Second Lieutenant Joseph A. Brown, Company A, whose term recently expired, was last week elected to succeed himsel and ordered to appear before the exam- ining board. During the week there has been a great deal of activ at the two armories in which are located companies of this regi- ment, but the greatest concern of the company commanders was to have every- thing in readin when called out, whether as National Guardsmen or as vol- unteers. . What the line officers and men are much concerned about—as they are confident that their regiment will be one of the two ordered out, is whether when ordered for duty the organization will be sent out as the First Infantry California Volunteers or whether it will be distrib- uted to varlous commands, as was the California Five Hundred during the Civil War, which was mustered in as one of the Massachusetts regiments. The glory the men achieved,on the field went to the credit of the Old Bay State and was lost | to the Golden State. The men of the First feel that if there is to be any honor to be gained for California’s sons during the war it should go to the State that sent them forward. A few days will un- doubtedly relieve them of all anxiety on hat point u’l'heI recent tournament at the Pavilion | in aid of the fund to be created for the purpose of erecting a rifie range at Ingle- | i for the First was quite a financial | cess. It is expected that nearly $1000 | be realized after all bills of expenses | W shall have been paid. THE FIFTH REGIMENT. Since the issuance of regimental order No in the latter part ot March, t}-:ere have been discharged from the ' Fifth Regiment Infantry one enlisted man from Company A, four from Company B, five from Company E, two from Company F | and three from Company H, fifteen in all Of this number nine were discharged on account of removal, three at expiration of term of service and three for the good of the service. Corporal Gilbert A. Wright has been appointed sergeant of Company H with rank from April 18. Private M. Zarcone has been returned to Company B without loss of time. A furlough of sixty days has been granted to Corporal George M. Willlams of Com: v E and to Private G. C. Han- smpany F. Al commanding officers have been ordered to communicate at once to regi- viceable rifles in _their respectiv panies. Coionel Fairbanks say serviceable rifles is meant not only the model of 'S4, but also all guns of previous models that aic serviceable.” ‘Amos W.

Should the Fifth be called out for duty his services to the regiment will be of the highest value. THE SIGNAL CORPS. The members as well as the officers of the Signal Corps of the Second Brigade have been on the anxious seat ever since the war began, in this, that in the call for men to go to the front no mention has been made of the signal men. They feel that they are at this time as important a branch of the service as the signal men were during the War of the Rebellion, and possibly a little more so, in view of the improvement in the service, and_ for that reason want to be assigned to duty and have asked for assignment. It has been admitted that this corps is as nearly perfect in the use of the flags, heliotrope or torch as any body of men can be, still the members are not_satis- fied to rest content with this, for at every opportunity they engage in the work of signaling. = Yesterday three squads of the company were at work on Mount Tamalpais with a heliotrope, and s were on this side of the water responding to the signals sent. The squads that worked in Marin County left on Saturday afternoon in service uniforms, carried blankets and had a day’s provisions in their haver- sacks. Tlhey commenced the ascent of the mountain at 7 o'clock at night, and when about halfway up found shelter un- der the trees and turned in for the night. At early dawn, after a hasty breakfast, they resumed the ascent, and as soon as it gleared enough to make out locations on this side they sent signals to discover their fellow signal men, who were on San Francisco hill stations, but on which those on the mountain did not know, and they were forced to discover them. The practice was a successful one, and those who went on the other side of the hay had a practical experience of what rough- ing it is. They returned late in the after- noon. 4 THE NAVAL MILITIA. The men of the two divisions of the Naval Militia stationed at this port are not at this time lacking in practice to make them perfect, for each day there are ten men on duty on board of the Marion in charge of two officers, and in addition to the duty they perform there they are compelled to drilt on ship and ashore. The new men who have recently been recruited have done well, and there is no doubt that the officers and men will be ready to perform any sea or shore THE DEVOTION duty that they may be assigned to du¥ing the war. The officers are still perfecting themselves in navigation, and it is aston- ishing to note what progress they have made in that line. The men hope that the Government will place some modern ; armament. . on the larion, place her in commission and use her as a patrol vessel up and down the coast; still, if that is not done, they are content to do any duty that will ve them an opportunity to display their willingness and ability, and they feel sure that they will make a record for themselves that the citizens of this State will feel proud of. OF 4 WoNAN A Wife Worrying Over Her Husband’s Troubles Loses Her Reason. Mrs. W. H. Tubbs Could Not Stand the Treatment of the Congre- gational Ministers. Mrs. W. H. Tubbs, the wife of Rev. W. H. Tubbs of Bethlehem Congregational Church, has lost her reason. The fact in itself is sad, but when it is known that worrying over the troubles of her nhus- band was the cause of it it takes on = much more pathetic aspect. Mr. and Mrs. Tubbs were married near- ly forty years ago, and together they had struggled side by side, sharing cne an: other’s troubles. Fortune did not always smile upon them, but that mattered Jit- tie as long as they had their children around them, food for them and a rcof under which to sleep. Some time ago Dr. Tubbs took charge of the Bethlehem Congregational Church on Vermont and Twenty-fourth strects. The place needed repairing, so he went to work to have it done. He, however, had not asked the permission of the Church Extension Society, and when he went to the church one day he saw a notice posted there to the effect that all work done there would be done By Wil- liam H. Tubbs’ orders and he alone would be responsible for all bills. The article was signed by Rev. W. C. Pond of Beth- any Congregational Church. Dr. Tubbs immediately inquired into the matter and found the trouble to be that he had not <ed permission of the Ex- tension Society. The clergyman explained that he did not know it was necessary, but since it was the rule he was willing to comply. He obtained the required per- migsion and the society promised to help him pay off the debt. "Dr. Tubbs shortly after this became ill and was unable to meet the interest on the debt, the Ex- tension Society having to pay it. Dr. Tubbs, on recovering, obtained the money necessary for the quarter and promised the ty that the back interest should be refunded to them. Shortly after this Dr. Tubbs asked for the money for his church that had been promised. His petition was answeged by a polite note saying that whenever he re- signed as pastor of the church the money should be given to it, 3 remained the congregation should be ad- vanced no money. This brought back a letter from the clergyman saying that if his people wished him to resign he would do so im- mediately, but if not he would remain as long as they wished him. Dr. Tubbs remained, every one of his flock informing him_individually that if he left they would leave also. Thus the matter rested, Dr. Tubbs and the members of the con- gregation going to work to release them- selves from the det.. Mrs. Tubbs, who has been a suf- ferer from rheumatism for some time, worried and fretted over her husband’'s troubles and soon this terrible affliction came upon he ADVERTISEMENTS.
