THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, ’TH'URSDAY, MAY 12, 1898. ART SALUT Merchants Give Freely to the Growing Fund. Mugh Work in Prospect “or the Society to Perform. The fund collected by the Red Cross Bociety up to the time the headquarters of the organization closed for the day yes- terday amounted to $3640, and promises had been received for double that amount. The officers of the soclety now are happy in the thought that they are starting on thelr work with a falrly good financial backing. Before the next forty-eight hours have passed they believe they will be able to send off the California troops fairly well equipped for immediate hos- pital emergencies. The California boys are not all that the society will be called upon to provide for. Troops are coming from Oregon, Washington, Utah, ldaho, Colorado, Kansas, Wyoming and Mon- tana, and their quota will amount to about 8000 men. Their comforts will be equally as much a care for the society as those of the boys from this State, and they cannot be allowed to leave the land of their homes without being prepared for 2 long slege of sickness in a foreign clime, that is almost sure to meet them. The coming troops will probably not be so well equipped as those from California, and » is yet much work for the Red Cross to do.

The rest was made up by the many frieuds of the patriotic young lady. Special musical festival services will be held at Grace Episcopal Church Sunday evening. The offertory will be for the Red Cross fund. The music for the oc- casion will be suitable and at the same time patriotic In its nature. The choir will be under the direction of the organist, W. H. Holt ——————— FLOWERS FOR HUMANITY. Proceeds of the Floral Show ‘Will Be Donated to the ' Red Cross. At a meeting held yesterday morning by the members of the State Floral Soclety it was unanimously decided to contribute the entire proceeds of the Rose Show, which will open to-day at Golden Gate Hall, to the cause of the Red Cross Soci- ety. The public of the city wishing to ald the boys in blue from the rigors of camp life and the contagion, disease and death on the battlefield can do so by accepting the Invitation extended by the Floral So- clety. They can attend its display, one of the most beautiful and perfect exhibitions of the floral wealth of the State, and at the same time accomplish the desire.of alding the suffering soldiers. Concerts will be given nightly during the three days that the fete continues, and will serve as an extra feature to at- tract visitors. Although every possible and imaginable flower will be on exhibi- tion the rose will predominate and will constitute the main attraction. The rar- est and most beautiful specimens of this flower will be exhibited, and from the present outlook will afford a magnificent sight of an almost perfect variety. Those who will contribute to the suc- cess of the show are as follows: G. M. Tyler of Alameda, Mrs. Wilkes of San Jose, Mrs. G. C. Ross of Belmont, Carl Purdy of Uklah, Mrs. Wiester of San Francisco, the E‘mgor!um Nursery, also of this city; Mr. Gill of Berkeley, Frank Pelicano of San Francisco, Mr. Hinkle of Berkeley, Mrs. Bailey, San Francisco; Demoto Brothers, Japanese florists of Fruitvale and Golden Gate Park. The exhibition will open this morning at 10 o’clock. AN PATRIOTIC DAUGHTERS. La Estrella Parlor Ready to Aid the Society of the Red Cross. At a meeting of La Estrella Parlor No. 89, Native Daughters of the Golden West, a committee was appointed to prepare resolutions in regard to the sentiment of the parlor in regard to the war. The com- mittee has presented the following: Whereas, The troubled. voice of war, most righteous, vibrates throughout the nation, and out starry banner leads its herces onward to battle in the cause of and humanity; whereas, that joy unconfined cannot be ours until we once more behold the ‘‘Flag that stirs our souls”” floating in renewed glory o'er the “Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave,’ blest again as it deserves, and de- serving again to be blest with Heaven's gifts of victory and peace, be it therefore, Resolved, That La Estrella Parlor No. 89, N. . G. W., hereby cancel all engagements and recall ail invitations to their second anniver- sary ball, for the celebration of which on the 12th of May, 1898, arrangements had been made. Ived, That the members of this parlor, individually and collectively, pledge their loy- alty to their country and State and stand ready to do what may be in their power in the merciful ranks of the Society of the Red Cross. Ltk g French Citizens Patriotic. The Franco-Californian this morning publishes an editorial calling upon the French citizens of this city to contribute funds for the Red Cross. It holds that it is a duty of the French people, in view of the fact that they are llving in Amer- ica, to ald the Americans in every pos- sible way, and that they could do nothing better than to give assistance, financial or other, to those who may be called out to defend the country’s honor, It calls upon all French people to assist in the cause, and_will receive subscriptions at its office. It is proposed that the presi- dent of each French society sign a letter which will be sent to each French citizen in San Francisco, requesting him to par- ticipate in that work. e CALLS A MASS-MEETING. Citizens of Oakland to Discuss Red Cross Work on Sun- day. OAKLAND, May 11.—The Red Cross So- clety of this city to-day decided to hold another mass-meeting Sunday. Taking a lesson from the dispute among the minis- ters at the last meeting, the speakers will be informed that no reference to the wis- dom or policy of the war will be tolerated, but that they must confine themselves strictly to the Red Cross work. A letter from Surgeon General Middle- ton of the national society was read at to- day’s meeting. He asks for sterilized bandages, aluminum identification checks to be worn around the soldiers’ necks, and money for any and all deficiencies. This latter is likely to be needed in prepara- tion of ambulances and stretchers. Thers is none of the former on the coast, and but few of the latter. All who have signed the enrollment blanks up to this time have done 80 with the understandin, that there was no initiation fees. That was correct, but since its affiliation with the national so- ciety a fee of $1 must be collected. The opportunity will be given to all who thus desire to join in due time. The work will probably be first publicly started Sunday, ut headquarters have been opened af room 222, Central Bank building, where any one may call and leave donations, en- roll or secure information. T R AUSTRIANS WILL HELP. The Verein Oesterreich to Hold a Festival at the Chutes. The Verein Oesterreich, one of the leading Austrian societies in this ecity, has secured the Chutes for Saturday, May 28, to hold a festival for the benefit of the Red Cross Soclety of California, and will spare no pains to Insure a great success. B o Stanford Parlor’s Mite. At the regular meeting of Stanford Par- lor No. 76, N. S. G. W., held last evening, the following motlon was unanimously carried: That the sum of ten dollars be and the same is hereby donated to the California Red Cross Soclety, and that all members who have enlisted in the army will not ba required to pay any dues or assessments during their term of service in the army. They will be accorded all the rights and privileges of members In good standing. —_— Sonoma Will Assist. SONOMA, May 11.—A mass meeting will be held here next Saturday afternoon for the purpose of organizing a Red Cross League. All the local churches will take an active part, and great interest is being manifested. Will Sing and Dance in the Cause of Mercy. To-Day Is the Big Benefit Entertainment at the (rpheum, This afternoon the Orpheum will be dedicated to the Red Cross. The troupe will sing Its sweetest and dance its pret- tiest and crack its best and newest jokes, the blare of brass and the roll of drums will rouse all the enthusiasm of a regi- ment on parade, and the lesson of pa- triotism and the tale of the little red em- blem of charity and mercy will be told from the stage by one who knows how to tell it. It will be the first of the public enter- tainments to be given in aid of the Red Croes work and special efforts are being made to make it a great source of en- couragement for the giving of other such fillers of the society treasury. The whole Orpheum troupe Wwill take part, and in addition there will be an address by Rabbi Voorsanger, patriotic airs rendered by the Venetian Ladies’ Orchestra, some patriotic songs by Maude Rockwell of the Olympie Theater and music by the band of the First California Volunteers. It will be as varied & programme as has ever been presented on the Orpheum boards, and the reason for it all will lend an interest not usually attached to the work behind the footlights. Already the sale of seats augurs well for the financial part of the programme and the remainder is quite able to take care of itself. The Orpheum orchestra, inspired by the desire to ald the wounded, and confldent of the efficacy of harmony as a cure for all ills, will lead the way for the per- formers. Hays and Bandy will dance— together and each by himself, and an en- core, too, if the audience demands and the time will permit; Bogert and O'Brien will wring reluctant music from tables and chairs, plug hats and squawking geese; John Ransome will transform him- self for the time being into Governor Budd, and in the person of the executive he will tell all_he knows about the war; “In Durance Vile,” a little comedy skit, will be presented by Isabelle Urquhart, Slaney Wilmer and Walter Vincent: George Fielding, the king of all jugglerfl, will throw his bottles and hats and cups and saucers higher than ever and will balance on his nose or on his head every- thing he can glck up from his table, and he may search through his properties for more than one half-forgotten trick and bring it forth into the glare of the foot- lights at the bidding of those who go to Beo. Gruet, Beers and Gruet, the eccentric, otesque and comic acrobats, will en- §eavor to earn another adjective to hel them on the playbills; Mile. Bartho will have an especlally patriotic costume for her dance, and Lizzie Raymond will have a new song, tender enough to charm a heart of stone. Marion Kerner's “Visions of Art” will end the programme, and he has promised something particularly good for the finale. All his best living pictures will be shown, and then to end it all he will reproduce “The Red Cross in the Field.” The programme will begin at 1:30 o’clock and the doors will be opened the usual length of time before. Already the seats are selling rapidly and the success of the entertainment is almost assured even be- fore it commences. The purpose of the entertainment will be one of the themes of Rabbi Voorsan- er's address. The story has been told before, but it will not suffer in the re- telling, and besides there is so much to tell. There is so little a soldier can do for himself, anyway, even when he is well and strong, that the thought of him wounded and dying, not so much from his injuries as from lack of care and atten- tion, is enough to bring something more than a tear to the eye or a note of Sorrow and regret to the voice. It brings full houses at benefit entertainments; it brinzs enthuslasm in the work of mercy d energy to those who direct 1t. and. it brings money easily spared in the cause of the scarlet emblem of mercy. Mismated Married Couples. Judge Dunne has granted Christine Preskowlj a divorce from Wenzel Pres- kowlj on the ground of cruelty. Dr. Gustave Mahe has been directed by the Superior Court to pay $100 a month for the maintenance of his wife, Joseph- ine E. Mahe. Judge Seawell yesterday granted Dalsy C. Walton a divorce from Henry P. Wal- ton on the ground of desertion. The plaintiff was by decree of court allowed to resume her malden name, Daisy C. Remp. Catherine Kelleher has been granted a divorce from John Kelleher on the ground of cruelty. The following new suits for divorce were filed yesterday: Maud Boyle from James Boyle, fallure to provide; Carrie White from Andrew White, failure to provide; Mary Provalt from John H. Pro- volt, desertion. HOMEOPATHS IN SESSION So- California State Medical ciety Meets at the Cali- fornia Hotel. Elects Officers and Transacts Impor- tant Business — Interesting Papers Read.

Half of San Francisco, to judge by the number of people that attended the re- . opening of the Orpheum last night, has been deprived of its favorite amusement for the past few days. The Orpheum begins its week with an interesting and a varled programme. There are tireless dancers with the latest and most difficult syncopated steps. There are black-faced comedians, uglier, bigger- mouthed, thicker-headed than any that ever trod the minstrel stage. There's a Juggler who out-juggles all his dextrous redecessors, who performs marvels of alancing, and whose control over num- berless flying balls only hypnotism could explain. “There’s a rubber-legged man. Or if he isn't, he ought to be. So wonder- fully and completely dislocated are his limbs that there is nothing unnatural that's beyond him. There's Mile, Bartho, too, light, pretty and graceful, who is none of these three in her second trans- formation, but who captures the house— and not only because' this is war time and the sight of the colors stirs a responsive chord just now—when she dances like a pretty bit of red, white and blue thistle- down at the last to the tune of “Yankee D e Balawin Pilar M At the Baldwin Pilar Morin plays * Ola Japan” all this week. . Schears of chestra fills up, musically and artistically, the first half of the programme. The “Passion Play’” continues every after- noon except Saturday at 3 o'clock. Morosco’s is filled nightly by a delight- ed crowd of people, who listen to '“The Prisoner of Algiers,” a sequel to Monte Cristo, and watch Jeffries box three rounds with his brother. “The Ensign” will be produced every R R R e e e R SRR LR R D PR PSSP on the attack. cause of all the mischief. brow. hole. which he was exposed.

A Rodent With an Eue for Beauty Tries ‘to Make a Meal of Miss Mollle Gearu. Miss Mollle Geary, the pretty sister of Congressman Geary, is confined to her rooms at the Hotel Fairmount suffering with nervous prostration. The young lady is a stenographer at the Mint, but it was not the re- sponsibility of her position nor her close attention to dutles that brought A rat, with an eye to the beautiful—in short, an artistic rat—was the Some six weeks ago Miss Geary's slumbers were rudely disturbed and the young lady suddenly awakened by a sensation of pain across her fair Instinctively Miss Geary put her hand to her head and it came in contact with a long, lean body—the said mischief-making rat. lady screamed. Sir Rat jumped awkwardly, with a dull, disagreeable thud, to the floor, and without stopping for a formal leave-taking hied him to his The shock proved too much for the delicate, the young lady, and she has since been confined to her bed. Miss Geary is an interesting patient, and certainly a most attractive and beautiful one. As she lies, with her copper-colored hair massed around her sweet, pale face, she makes so striking a picture that one is almost tempted to forgive the rat, realizing the tremendous temptation to Although on the high road to recovery, Miss Geary is still exjremely nervous. A creaking door makes her start, and in her imagination she sees rats hiding in all dark corners. A long rod is at her bedside, and at every suspicious noise she pokes around, while mur- derous thoughts surge through her brain. The rodent has paid the penalty of his heinous crime. A rattrap and a dog assisted in the meting out of justice.

Work on the Australis, City of Peking and City of Sydney Is Being Rushed. The steamers Ohio and Connemaugh, which arrived from the East a few days ago for the Klondike trade, have been chartered by the Government, and will carry soldlers and stores to Manila. The Ohio can easily be fitted out for troops, but the chances are that the Connemaugh will be used as a storeship. The work of discharging both of them was going on with a rush all of yesterday, and the chances are that both of them will be ready to go into commission to-day. The Australia was taken to the Union Iron Works yesterday and put on the drydock. A gang of carpenters are at ‘work on her, putting up bunks and fitting her up for the trip to the Philippines. She will come off the drydock to-day, and the work of coaling will begin as soon as she Is docked at Pacific-street wharf. The work of discharging the City of Peking was to have been finished Tuesday night, but it was not until yesterday evening that the work was completed. The big steamer will be drydocked at Hunters Point, and it will probably be ‘Tuesday next before she is ready to sail. There was & change about in the officers on the steamers City of Sydney and San Jose yesterday. The Sydney is being made ready as quickly as possible to go to the Philippines with troops, and as Captain McLean and Chief Officer Kitt would rather remain on the Central American run, they have been transferred to the San Jose. Captdin Pillsbury and Chief Officer Connors of the San Jose will take the City of Sydney to Manila. Admiral Miller raised his flag on the | Monterey yesterday. Until a cruiser ar- rives in port the coast defense steamer will act as flagship. The men on the Unadilla, the Mare Island dispatch-boat, were feeiing quite hanfiy yesterday. weel ing torpedoes in the harbor and about the entrance. The work was not only tedious but dangerous, and the men are glad it is over. chosen, and the Unadilla showed no lights and dark lanterns only were used. The schooner John D. Tallant was run into by the river steamer Modoc yesterday and considerably damaged. She was to have sailed for the Amoor River to-day ! with a cargo valued at $85,397, but it will take a couple of days to make the nece sary repairs. The flood tide carried the steamer against the schooner with suf- ficient force to carry away the cathead and a considerable portion of the port railing, besides some of the bulwarks. Henry Trattan was nearly killed on’the British ship Port Logan yesterday. He was down in the hold shoveling coal, when a black diamond fell from the ascending bucket and struck him on the head. He was_not stunhed by the blow, but as his head was cut, his companions decided to take him to the Harbor Receiving Hos- pital. Trattan walked from Green- street wharf to the hospital, and there Drs. Hartley and Green found his skull was fractured and that trepanning was necessary in order to save his life. Trat. tan is now doing as well as can be ex- pected. Frederick Becker, an elderly man, was struck by a Sacramento-street car and badly bruised, besides receiving internal injuries, yesterday. He was treated at the Harbor Receiving Hospital. The lighthouse inspector notifies marin- ers that the Mile Rock bellbuoy is not sounding and that it will be put in order as _speedily as possible. The bark Northern Light started for Kotzebue Sound yvesterday afternoon, but was stopped off Meiggs wharf by the revenue cutter Golden Gate. Owing to assenger accommodation having been uilt on deck, the vessel’s tonnage had been increased, and Captain Whiteside failed to notify the Custom-house of the fact. It was proved to the satisfaction of the Collector that the matter was an oversight, so the bark and her passengers were allowed to proceed, and she will be resurveyed upon her return. THE REPUBLICAN LEAGUE. Committees A}Tpointefl to Prepare for the Convention to be Held Here. The Executive Committee of the Re- publican League of California met last night with the presidents and secretaries of the local Republican clubs to perfect arrangements for the State Convention of Republican Clubs to be held on the 3lst inst., in this city. E. M. Galvin was elected chalrman and H. J. Riggins secretary. After considerable discussion as to the form of badge to be worn by the Recep- tion Committee, it was decided to have a badge of red, white and blue, six inches long and two inches wide, with an inscrip- tion printed on it so as to properly desig- nate the members. Charles Middleton, Dawson Mayers and M. F. Taylor were appointed on a committee to look after the printing of the badges. F. A. Pedlar, T. B. Morton, S. F. North- rup, George Ingraham and Martin Mur- ray were appointed on a committee to stir up the local Republican clubs and have them take an interest in the convention. Colonel George Stone reported that the steamship and lroad lines had agreed to give a reduced rate to the delegates to the convention and their families. He then suggested that a committee be ap- pointed to wait on the hotel proprietors and ask for rates that would induce the delegates to bring their families with them, The suggestion was accepted and M. F. Taylor, Martin Murray, T. C. Mabher, 8. 1. Jacobs and N. E. Maison were appointed as the committee. B — DORAN CENSURED. Did Not Hire Mechanics for the Pa- vilion Work—A Settlement. At a meeting of the District Counecll of Corpenters and Joiners last night at 1133% Mission street the matter of responsi- bility for the recent catastrophe at the Mechanics’ Pavilion was taken up. After receiving the report of Business Agent H. M. Saunders it was decided that censure be attached to Contractor Doran for not having had the seats surrounding the arena constructed by reliable mechanics. The council exonerated the inspecting fire marshal and recommended all architects and business men to see that in the future “all such work be given to a responsible contractor, who thoroughly understands such work.” Contractor Doran's “greed" and disregard for human lfe was severely Scored by the council after hearing the evidence submitted by Mr. Saunders, Groom & Gibbs, managers of the recent Sharkey-Jeffries fight, have decided that the best thing they can do is to pay the workmen hired as mergenters by Con- tractor Doran, who failed to give his em- loyes their dues. After the accident, the reaking of the benches, Doran said that he had no money. A number of the work- men complained to the, Labor Commis- sioner, who discussed the situation with the managers, and they said they would y Doran's bills and take the amount y:om the contract price. Yesterday twenty of the men were paid and to-day the re- maini twenty will receive their dues. The n&oflnt of each man is about $18. 3 DIED.

How- ever, if_ any jobs were hatched, they were not sprung vesterday, even the school- book cinch going over till next week, when a special session will be held. In these days of Grand Jury Investigations and alert Judges the majority is “lying mighty low."” It was generally conceded that Director ‘Waller would be the barometer by which the justice of Judge Beicher's:proceedings against the Grand Jury would be indicat- ed. The director usually keeps himself on constant review during the sessions of the board, and, if he exhibited unusual exuberance yesterday, it would be taken to indicate that the intimations in certain quarters were justified that the Judge had acted at the behest of the “push.” A sub- dued spirit, it was said, would be proof that_Belcher’s reasons for discharging the Grand Jury were just. Well, Waller was the most quiet mem- ber of the board. He only broke loose once or twice, and then he quickly cap- tured himself. ‘The first matter taken up was the open- ing of bids for textbooks Am- drawing and supplement ing. large number of firms, as well as local publish- ers, put in bids, but ich_opposition was developed to sads pense upon the parents of school children that the matter went over untll next ‘Wednesday. The finance committee reported a bill of $7100, the cost of taking the school census, and recommended that it be paid. Head objected. He said that the usual cost of taking the census was $5000. Last iea.r that limit was exceeded about , and the board set aside for the purpose this year. This was considered most liberal and the Marshal had prom- ised to keep within the limit. The extra cost was due to the large number of men employed, who, in order that work might be found for them, went to some houses three and even four times. One hundred. and six people had been employed by the Marshal, a larger force than ever used before. Waller tried to excuse the increased cost, and the majority accepted his ex- planation for the bill was ordered paid. Miss Gface B. Chalmers, Miss M: C. Dwyer, Miss M. Walsh, Miss Elizabeth C. Fleming, N. Kennedy, Miss A. E. O'Sulli- van, Miss Mabel Bradley, Miss M. W. Walsh, Miss Emily P. Rhine. Miss Lilllan R. Suich, Miss Julia F. Sullivan, Miss Katherine Lawler, Miss Ellen Ward, having successfully served the term of probation, were elected regular teachers. Waller tried to have all teachers on tha probationary list of the evening schools prior to July 1, 1897, elected regular teach- ers, but his resolution brought forth such a protest that it was referred to the com- ttee on qualifications. Spoke to Socialists. Henry Highton addressed a meeting in the Turk-street Temple last evening on “‘Standards of Integrity in the United States.” Like many others who have spo- ken befors Liberty Branch lately ,Mr. Highton is not a Soclalist, but his views on economic questions are such as to please the audience immensely. His lec- ture last night was a tirade against the way in which politics, political offices and Senates and Legislatures are mani- g;xla(ed by political machines and bosses. e sald that the great majority of the people are honest enough, but they allow themselves to be carried away and thelr rights trampléd on by soulless politicians. ——————————— For Seiling Pools. ‘Willlam Burke, 19 and 21 Ellis street, pleaded guilty in Judge Campbell’s court yesterday afternoon to a charge of violat- ing the pool ordinance, which was a sur- prise, as the general tendency has been to fight the cases to the bitter end. Burke was ordered to appear for sentence this ‘morning. CASTORIA
