The footlights were lined with & row of potted palms, the American coat of arms Socupying a central position directly in front of the speaker’s stand, while over- head the folds of two immense Ameri- can flags were draped in a great arch. The spectators came, full to the neck with enthusiasm, and they proceeded to let off steam almost before they were fairly seated. The appearance of Mayor Phelan walking down the aisle to the Stage was the signal for the first out- burst and the cheering was continued at intervals from that time until the last word had been sald and the orchestra pied a | gave the signal to disperse. Promptly at 2 o’clock President Bohen of the Fire Commissioners advanced to the front of the stage and briefly stated the object of the_ gathering. He then called Frederick Sayers, assisiant fore- man of engine No. 1, and James Comisky. of truck No. 6 o the stage. Sayers res- cued A. H. Christy of Milwaukee from a room on one of the upper floors of the Baldwin Hotel, coming upon him just as he was about to end his suffering in de- spair by cutting his throat with a razor, and carrying him to a place of safety. Comisky, assisted by Assistant Engineer P. H. Shaughne: , rescued an unknown woman from the flames which had seem- ingly cut off all hope of her escape from fifth floor of that hotel As the two men stepped upon the stage the audience shouted and cheered until a desire to hear what was coming next im- pelled it to desist. Mayor Phelan was then introduced to make the presen- tation speech and decorate the uniforms of the men with the valued Scannell medals. His Honor painted in glowing words the heroism of the men, and con- trasted their deeds with those which often win laurels for the soldier on the ueld of battle. He said the firemen were with- out the inspiration that gave added zest to the courage of the nation’s defenders and without detracting from the merit of the latter he thought the firemen were entitled to even more praise. Hé drew a startlingly vivid pictur, by way of illus- tration, of the great cold storage fire at the World's Fair in Chicago, in which many firemen lost_their lives, and roused the enthusiasm of the audience to the highest pitch by his description of the valiant, though futile efforts of the com- rades of the doomed firemen to save them from certain death. The cheers arose when the speaker spoke of the deeds of other San Krancisco firemen, of whom went to their death in their duty. He men- the performance of | tioned the names of Keller, Moholy and Hallihan, and the firemen arose from their seats as though propelled by springs to cheer for their dead comrades. Finally the medals were attached to the breasts of the two heroes, and they took the seats reserved for them on the stage amid an- other shout of applause. Mr. Dohrmann was then introduced to present the Merchants’ Association medal to Assistant Engineer Shaughnessy. The latter was also awarded a splendid re- ception as he took his place on the plat- form and stood listening to the words of oraise bestowed freely by the speaker. Mr, Dohrmann_complained that the May or had stolen his thunder and there was no time for him to manufacture more. Nevertheless he succeeded in justice to his cause, if the amount of ap. plause his remarks evoked is any indica: tion. He complimented Shaughn not only on his bravery but on his efficiency and sobriety, saying Chief Sullivan had spoken highly of him. Shaughpessy re celved his medal and took his seat be- side his equally fortunate comrades. The audience wanted to hear from the men, but President Bohen explained that they were not accustomed to speechmaking, but while they could not give expression to their feelings on this occasion they were greatly gratified at the demonstra- tion in_their honor. The chairman then announced that the Commissioners, with a view of preserving the names af all firemen who won dis- tnction as life-savers, had prepared a roll of honor of parchment, which would last for all time. At present there were but five names enrolled thereon, - being the names of the three men who had just doing_ fuli D e e e e e e e il o el el ool I e o e e e e o [ e s | | e e s HQHHHM 2t e 6 s etooe | Veteran Trumpeter William G.

Pays a Glowing Tribute to the Father of His Country and Urges His Hearers to Cnltivate Pa- triotism. Washington's birthday was appropri- ately and enthuslastically celebrated In Metropolitan Temple last evening. The programme arranged by the board of management of the Young Men's Insti- strumental and vocal selections, which were extremely well rendered by profes- slonal musiclans and singers. The feature of the celebration, however, was an address by Attorney W. W. Foote on the subject, “Washington, the Greatest and Noblest Character the American Na- tion Can Possibly Honor.” The speaker declared that the anniversary of Wash- ington’s birth should be commemorated by every American citizen with the deep- est sense of patriotism. founded the republic of the United States, and it is our duty in consideration of this in our earnest endeavors and ambitions to perpetuate the liberal government un- der which we now live, to honor the mem- ory of the statesman and soldier who was more than any other man responsible for its birth. After gaylng the highest and most laud- able tribute possible to Washington, and after diffusing in the minds of those pres- ent an enhanced enthusiasm in the cele- bration commemorative of his birth, the speaker reviewed the Government of tne TUnited States, dwelling partigalarly on both its home and foreign policy. In discusing the growth of the nation from_its inception down to the present time he touched upon and emphasized the troubles and internal discords with which the country has been afflicted and referred to the final triumph of the stars and stripes over every form of tyranny and oppression that has menaced the flag al- most from the time it was first raised over the land of the free and the home of the brave down to our own generation. The speaker referred to the recent Spanish-American war and the annexa- tion of the Hawailan Islands. In discuss- ing the former he spoke most eloguently in support of the policy pursued by the United States Government in stamping out and obliterating forever the tyranny Oppression and inhumanity and crueity of Spanish misrule in suffering Cuba. An- nexation, he claimed, was laudable and right if it was absolutely necessary, but he condemned the policy of the nation as unwise were it to seek aggrandizement on any pretext. In conclusion the speaker spoke of the one great blessing which has come to the country as the result of the war—the ob- literation of sectional feeling and the complete disappearance of the term “north and south.” country, and as such are in a position to assert our position as one of the great nations of the earth. . WARDE ON SHAKESPEARE. The Actor Lectures for the Benefit of the Public Playground. A large and fashionable audience assem- bled in Association Hall yesterday after- noon to hear Frederick Warde, the fa- mous tragedian, give his promised lecture on Shakespeare. Almost from the utterance of the first word until the sound of his voice had died away on the last quotation from the Works of the actor-poet Mr. Warde held the audience spellbound. He was in love with his subject, and so eloquently did he paint the character of Shakespeare that for the time at least none could think other than as he thought. He first re- uested the audience to believe that all the plays accredited to Shakespeare were written by him. Then he described the early days of Shakespeare in the pure air of the English countryside, where he grew up as the flowers, whose perfume Sas ever in his nostrils. Then the boy went to the great metropolis, and as he mixed with the actors and saw the world his early days came back to him, and he wove the beautiful sentiments of his boy- hood into the wonderful dramas. Mr. Warde then took up the chief char- acters in the plays one by one, illustrat ing his points with abundant quotations. Bha jenture was under the auspices of the California Club, and the proceeds will be devoted to the public playground on Bush street. — e Stole a Dozen Hats. ‘George McCarthy, a boy 19 years of age, well known. to the police, was arrested Yesteraay by Detectlve Graham and Po- iceman Meyer and booked at the City Prison on a_charge of petty larceny.

REVOLUTIONARY SONS OPPOSED 0 EXPANSION Strong Views Against Imperialism. PATRIOTISM AT THE BOARD BRILLIANT BANQUET OF THE SOCIETY AND ITS GUESTS. John P. Irish, D. M. Delmas and Others Plead for Recognition of the American Con- stitution. A seat at the banguet board of the Cali- fornia Soclety of the Sons of the Ameri- can Revolution last night was a glorious place. The event, in whose commemora- tlon the banquet was given, could not have been more fittingly celebrated in speech, song and feast, and the Sons of the American Revolution of San Fran- cisco prepared both programme and feast on lines which will long be remembered. At 6 o'clock about 200 members and guests were present at the Merchants’ Club. The affair had been elaborately ar- ranged and every possible care taken to present original and unique details. Trum- peter Willlam G. Hardy, Troop B, Fourth Cavalry, U. 8. A., perhaps the last sur- vivor of the celebrated Custer massacre, kindly consented to assist in the even- ing’s entertainment. He headed the march to the elegantly decorated dining room, and when the long line of guests had filed in sounded the mess call which set them to feasting. The menu was all that could be desired by an epicure. ‘When appetites were satiated, the trum- peter sounded “The Retreat,” and Presi- dent Horace Davis delivered an opening address, the first number of a long and interesting programme. He spoke of the necessity of maintaining such societies as the Sons of the American Revolution, that the flame of patriotism may never wane, and that the deeds of national pat- riots may stand as a standard of action for all men at all times. Commander J. C. Watson was given a hearty ovdtion and detailed many inci- dents of the past campaign. He modest- ly asked that the people not honor him until he had accomplished something worthy of honor, and regretted that he was staid in his prospective visit to the shores of Spain. He said that no coun- try was ever in better condition to in- dulge in active warfare than the United States, and that the senior officers in both naval and army forces who were | pronounced old fogies before they had been tried proved more than warriors when fighting began. “The Battle Hymn of the Repuwic' was well rendered by Rhys Thomas, after which D. M. Delmas responded to the first toast, he Character of Washing- ton and Its Influence Upon the Nation.” | “During the past year,” he sald, “events | have taken place under our own eyes so flitting that they seemed like the views in a phantasmagoria or a panorama of a scenic_stage. Within the past year our lives have been crowded with s(artling episodes following one another in suc rapid transition that they dazzled our | eves. From the hour when the ill-fated | Maine sank beneath the waves in Havana | harbor until the hour which marked the | effacing of the last vestige of tyrannical | Spain from the face of the American con- | tinent, our nation has witnessed one vicis- | situde after another. We have conquered and have now the lives and liberties of eight millions of human beings wrapped up in our keeping. { “In dlsposm% of this welghty question let us follow the course which Washing- ton, whose memory we celebrate to-night, mapped out on a chart which guided the helmsman in his struggle for the inde- pendence of our people—a course which indicates the path of national honor and demarks a national principle from an im- perialistic one. “When Spain lay bleeding at our feet and when the war is over, let our states- men quote the words of our forefathers, that breathe in harsh whispers the dan-| gers of foreign acquisition, Shall we take advantage of our position? Shall the ear of the nation be deaf to the warning Sounded a century ago? Is the influence of Washington to be dispelled and his shade forgotten? Believe it net: The day of awakening will come. The day of real- ization when reason will resume its sway. The ashes of Washington lie at Mount Vernon, but his spirit is with us, and it will be with us yet and forever more.” Professor Thomas R. Bacon responded to a toast “‘Loyalists of the Revolution. e related the incldents which led up to the separation of America from its mother Chuntry and to the situation which faced | the colonists when they heard the com- “%Choose ve this day whom ye will | serve. Y owing a cornet solo by George Ben- nett, Rev. Charles R. Brown responded | 1o the toast, “The Ride of Paul Revere.” | Brown was born under the brow of Bun- er Hill and said that often the shadow of the great monument fell across his | 3Eek when he was writing. He told of the War of the Revolution and in severe lines applied the principles born in the biood of our forefathers to the present crisis. He was_stern In his denunciation of the proposed imperialistic principle og holding the Philippines. He was heartily Jauded. m?‘pSons of Columbia’ was next rendered by Robert Lloyd. John P. Irish then pro- ceeded to respond to the closing toast, e Flag of Our Country, and What It ngstoofi For_in. the Illnetsemh Cen- fury.” In part he said: ““Fhe flag of our country since its stars and stri eKE were unfurled to the breeze has stood for a principle which it was the task of Washington, by his sword and by his achievements, to instill into the heart 1ts lesson we should follow fn the grave problems which throw'their Weight upon us for solution, and let us never depart_from the sound links of democracy.

San Francisco Hive No. 8, Ladies of the Maccabees, in celebration of Washing- ton’s birthday gave a Lady Washington tea last night in the soclal hall of the Alcazar to its friends. There was a good attendance, and under the direction of Lady Commander Mrs. Salmond there was presented for the entertainment of those present a pleasing programme, after which there was a grana march led by E. H. Stevens of San Francisco Tent, attired as GeorPe ‘Washington, and | Mrs. Frank Hatris of the hive, as Lady Washington. Then there was a.dance, which was followed by a tea served in the banquet room. The hall was decor- ated with a number of pictures of the Presidents of the early lK! of the re- ublic, the one occupying the position of gonor being that of ashington. EASTERN LIVESTOCK MARKET.

A great many samples have been taken by iIntending purchasers, however, and the latter are manifesting decidedly more in- terest in the market, so it will not be sur- prising if there should be a larger business to report next week. The sales of the past week assregate over 3,500,000 pounds, however, which may be regarded as a fair average week's business. One feature of the situation is the fact that smaller manufacturers, who pre- viously had not been much in evidence, have been comparatively well represented in the market. The sales of the week in Boston amount to 2,776,000 pounds domestic and $22.000 pounds forelgn, making a total of 3,596,000, against a total of 4,387,500 for the previous week and a total of 3,090,000 for the corresponding week last year.
