The telegrams and letters were read by Rabbi Voorsang- er, Rev. Mr. Leavitt and Rev. Mr. Tur- ner, and were received in every with continued applause. President McKinley wrote as follows “T send cordial greetings to the American National Red Cross on its auspiclous en- trance upon enlarged fields of usefulness with the new century.” Mark Twain sent the following charac- teristic greeting: *‘I bring you the state- Iy matron named Christendom, returning bedraggled, besmirched and dishonored from pirate raids in Kiaochau, Manchu- ria, South Africa and with her soul full of meanness, her pocket full of boodle and her mouth full of pious | hypocrisies. Give her soap and a towel, but hide the looking-glass.” Sir Henry Irving wrote as follows: have the deepest sympathy with the ob- jects of the American Red Cross Soclety, and I join with you in the hope that the new century, which will soon dawn upon us, will be laden with more bles peace that the whole'world cray Lord Roberts, under date of November 9, writing fr Johannesburg, South Af. riea, saye: ‘“The present century has ought with it many discoveries which ave done much to alleviate the miseries of suffering humanity. I pray that the s of coming century may be equally produc- | tive of a further progress in matters that conduce to the health, happiness and well- being of all people.” These words of England’'s great soldier struck a responsive chord in the hearts of all who heard the message last night, and it was greeted with round upon round of applause. The King and Queen of Greece, through their Minister at Washington, wrote as follows: “May the® dawning century be one of peace on_earth and good ~will among nations. But If humanity should again be afflicted by the horrors of war, may God in his mercy protect and strengthen, as hitherto, the Red Cross Soclety in its work of love toward heal- ing the wounds and softening the pain caused by war.” General Joseph Wheeler wrote as fol- lows: “I am very glad you are using your best efforts to_extend the influence of the Red Cross. It is hard for me to express to you the great good that your organization is doing.” sovernor Roosevelt, Vice President- elect, wrote in the following strain: “During this century we have, on a whole, moved upward; I hope we shall continue ®0 to move; but whether we do or not will ult!mately depend upon whether on the average the individual -man instance | the Philippines, | wr | rence an 'GOOD ’ 3 |At Thelr Home | sion of the Good s land re-e bers Celebrate. ia Parlor of the Native Son# of the West te year 19 with the hanqr hera hig ks in ve Sons’ bullding SAMARITANS GREET NEW YEAR on - Folsom H. ¥ Street.the Birth of 1901 Is < a 5 Celebrated. - At the quarters of the Cathe maritan the ebrated with pra the new year was o | and song.

A beautiful illusion was dis- closed to view on a small stage set in a corner of the supper-room. Master Nor- man Phillips, dressed as Father Time was seen on a bicyele riding toward a post marked 1900. As the clock sounded the last stroke of midnight the scene was changed to a country road, on which a yvoung girl in an automobile was Starting cut for theitwentieth century post.

California and Martha Washington councils of the Daughters of Liberty held a watch meeting In the Shi building last night at which there were a large number of young people who sought ref- uge from the noise of horns on the street. There was an impromptu programme of music, song and dancing. A great deal of merriment was created by the young men asking ladies as they entered the hall to walk up to the secretary’s desk to reg- ister and then making them pass under a bough of mistletoe and demanding the v. The affair was managed by Miss awford, Miss Laura Cantus, Miss T. Quirey, C. Johnson Manig of California Council, and . l.e Dieu, Miss E.

Loyal Rebekah Lodge also had a watch meeting in Odd Fellows’ Hall. At first it was decided to have a quiet meeting, people did not think a Quaker meeting was in keeping with the enthusiasm of the close of the year, so the Degree of Pocahontas, Improved Order of Red Men, also joined in the festivities by having a lancing party to celebrate the departure f the old and to welcome the new year. The hall was crowded to its utmost and all had a very enjoyable time until the prociamation was made that “the new vear has come.” Then there was a wild nurrah in which men and women joined with a will Y.
