Walls, Ninth Cavalry, from the Presidio is causing much uneasiness among the colored troops at the post. Where he is or what has happened to him nobody connected with the squadron knows. It is now nearly ten days since he | has been seen by his comrades. Pre- vious to that time he had been seek- | ing the flowing bowl pretty freely, and for the first few days after his dis- | appearance it was thought he had gone downtown to finish his spree. As time wore on and he failed to show up, a diligent search of his favorite | haunts was made, but without suc- cest Yesterday a rumor reached the post that a fisherman had stated that the day before, while he was coming | | in from sea, he had seen the body "Hl a colored soldier floating in the bay| a Site for the Proposed Hall| | and Proceed to Build at Onee | VL Commencing to-day, and continuing all the balance of this month, we will have a Special Sale of LADIES" FINE MUSLIN UNDERWEAR. the District Grand | | >endent Order of | | following | the ith a special | | rom each of ALMOonT SaTes N SEC Y OF CALIFORMNA STATE BoARD F CrARITES Lo ElaecTions following mmit- ecial Mau- | | The third annual State Conference of the California Board of Charities and | | { Corrections came to a ck Jast night ss at the First Unitarian Church.

The City and County Hospital came in for a vigorous censure, and the condition of the jails of the State was the theme for much discussion. The members of the conference ened to some instruc- tive papers on these various subjects |and are now equipped with the neces- sary information to go forth and pre- vent or minhimize to some extent these' | evils as they exist in California. AIMS OF ASSOCIATION. Yesterday morning was given over to a discussion on “Associated Charities | Problems” by representatives of the As- sociated Charities of the State. Paulina | Wetzlar Dohrmann read an interesting paper. In part it was as follows: cases of destitution and, possible, by en- couraging thrift and industry, raise the needy atove the need of relief; to prevent indiscrim. inate and duplicate alms-giving; to reduce pau. of relief, may be made self-sustaining and eelf- the children to work rather than To accomplish this requires not only the co-operatien of the different benevolent so- cieties avd the Board of Supervisors, but the individual support of all in the work of relieving deserving cases and exposing and preventing relief of the impos- tors and undeserving Our fleld is broad, our work cne which re quires constant watchfulne: d energy. Our methods are briefly as follows: We investigate thoroughly all applications for relief and in cases requiring immediate ac- tion grant such relief fittingly and promptly. By investigation we ascertain the cause of distress and, i possible, try to remove . the . to make the dependent independent e keep a record of all cases investigated, | shoWing result of such investigation and cause of destitution, and expose deception and fraud, That there be no misconception in regard to the distribution of the county funds let me state that w consolidated charities to divide the county. money. but to control and oversee (by co- operation) its judicious distribution; so that. the best result may fmum_amount, be obtatned with a min- and the chronic indolent and | poor—the impostors—exposed and dented. Emma Ross Gilman of Santa Bar- bara and several other leading workers for charity from different parts of the State took vart in the discussion. W. Almont Gates, secretary of the California State Board of Charities and Corrections, at the afternoon session delivered an excellent paper on “State Boards of Charities and Corrections.” In part it was as follows: s WORK OF CHARITY BOARD. Merubers of State Boards of Charities are appointed by the Goverror. They draw no salury and have no patronage, hence the places are not sought for by politiclans. For: these reasons eminent men, willing to give their time in the interests of humanity., have filled these boards Their duties are: First—To investigate the whole system of charities - and correctiops in the State. Second—To inspect all penal and charitable institutions of State, county and.city. Third—To advise with the managers of these institutions as to improvements in meth- ods, needs and abuses. Fourth—To report to the Governor and Leg- islature the result of their investigations and recommend desirable changes. It is not the duty of the board to Tight wrongs, but to re- port them to the power that can right them. Fifth—To publish such data, statistics and general information as will inform the pub- lic ad to the system of charities, the institu. | tions and tneir management; remove suspicions where unjustly founded and publish abuses when necessary. Their powers for reform are education and publicity. What have these boards accomplished? For the pauper: They have secured better care and treatment for the thousands who have become helpless by age and disease. They have placed in the way of self support thousands of others who, from mental weakness, wers improvident or unable to set themselves to wor They ha For the insane: the | insane from almshouses, jails e gathered and great bas- m and vagrancy: to make employment the & o that, wherever possible, the | who are interested | Te not an organization of | minds, or that care demands.

Under this systen mstruments. of bodily tor- . ture have disuppeared and in_their place ha: | come beoks Our aim was and is to relieve all deserving it and scl ls. They have estab- lished training schools for juveniles, reforma- ories on & graded merit system for first of- | fenders, a parole system for all classes, the advisory pardoning board. They have also ecured the 1nd inate sentence and the habitual criminal act, whereby the criminal whu has passed hope can, for the safety of socie! be held until his deéath, and yet the door for the regencrated may be always opaned. |~ For the public: They have economized the xpenditure of public funds and have increased results; they have hdopted means for pre- venting the incre: of dependents by seeking out and purifying the source of supply; they { have fmproved tho gervice of county and city | charities, corrected the indiscriminate giving of relief, and have in a large measure stopped the pauperization of the able-bodied lazy. | 1n general: State Boards of Charities have | collected of facts from many flelds, classified and roduced them to a science; have ameliorated the sufferings of thousands of af- flicted men, women and children and ele- vated their moral plane; have opened the well spring of philanthropy. inspired a higher ideal of civie duty, a stronger sense of moral responsibility, a deeper feeling of the universal brotherhood of man JAILS BREEDERS OF CRIME. | Rev. J. K. McLean, D. D., of Oakland spoke on “The County Jail.” Dr. Me- Lean referred to the county jails of California as breeding places for crime, saying in part: | The criminals should be segregated. The | practice of placing all of the criminals in | touch with each other is a bad one. . One- ; quarter of the criminals receive their educa- {tion and acquire criminal instincts while confined in the jfails. This is particularly true of the boys. They are thrown in with a lot i of “hardened criminals -and learn to regard them as ideals when they listen to stories of crime. A Judge Lindsey has said, a ten days' sentence of a boy in an ordinary jail is enough to fix many a boy's destiny with the crimival class. It is the congregate sys- tem that is so injurious to the characters of the prisoners. Most of the jails of California are first-class schools for education n crime. Jails are dens, as they now are kept: and it is not so much the fault of the Sheriffs and Supérvisors as it is. the fault of the people who do not- take enough interest in the welfare of the community to investifate and attempt to curb crime. The subject of jails was next dis- cussed by Charles M. Finch. Osgood Putnam then read a paper on “Proba- tion for Adult Offenders.” In part it | was as follows: At the last session I addressed you upon the subject of the orobation law for adult offend- rs, and this conference recommended the p in the interim such a 4 mow awalts enforcement i at your hands. The law is permissive and will only be sut fnto effect where the community |$‘? the bench take it up. At present the only irt that has put this law into effect is in Alameda County. Funds must be obtained for the salary of the probation officer, from chari- table persons or institutions, before the law can be put into effect elsewhere. PROVISIONS OF THE LAW. The provisions of the law are that the court shall appoint a Probation Officer who, upon the arrest of any person'for crime, shall gather careful records of his_entire hist present to the court. If the person then pleads gullty or is convicted the court listens tp the recommendation of the Probation Off it he and | with some sort of yellow braid on | the arm of his coat sleeve, which, from | the descripticn, corresponded with the | chevron worn fisherman stated that the day was rough and stormy and the light dull, and that before he could put about | the body had disappeared. This m possibly be a solution of the mystery. An examination of Walls’ accounts and effects showed everything to in order, the only thing missing be- | ing a pistol. Walls was company. He very popular with his was in the battle Santiago de Cuba, where he fought valiantly and was severgly wounded. CAVALRY TO USE LINKS. Colonel Sedgwick Pratt, inspector general of the division of the Pacific, and Major J. P. Wisser, artillery in- | spector, began their annual inspection | of the cavalry and artillery post of the Presidio yesterday morning. The day was devoted to inspection of the records. | The cherished Nea of Major Bigelow | that his troops should be allowed to maneuver on the golf links will be | realized to-day, weather permitting. The order has gone forth from headquarters that the inspection of the cavalry shall take place on the ground now occupied by the golf links. Heretofore the ma- neuvers and drills have taken place on the lower parade ground and on the high grounds back of the point, neither {of which was fully adequate for the whole squadron. The lower grounds the recent rains and the point grounds are too small, hence the edict has gone forth and the cavalry will prance over the soft green sward of the links.

Smith of Denver read a paper on “The Child as a Social Prob- lem.” Dr. Smith has made a wide study of the child problem in regard to crime, and enlightened the conference with a valuable address. “Juvenile Crime” was the subject of a paper by Herbert W. Lewis, superin- tendent of the Boys' and Girls’ Aid So- | ciety. “‘Some Points Regarding California’s Aid to Dependent Children” was the ! last subject discussed before the con- | ference. The paper was presented by | W. 8. Melick, secretary of the State | Board of Examiners. JNO. J. FULTON CO. Chronic Kidney Dis_e_ase WELL informed physician com- presses a lot of information into this short sentence that should be given wide | publicity—viz.: “All diseases of the kid- neys are primarily inflammations—they get serious as they become fixed or chronie.” The Kidney trouble that is recent—of a few days’or a few weeks' duration—is seldom serious. But if it lingers several months it is becoming fixed (chronic), and nothing but a cure for HPight's Dis- correct it. es;'eev:'v‘ll(lnow that. All ought to. Well in- formed druggists do, and many of them have giveh us direct certificates right in point. For instance, Druggist N. Schwartz of McAllister and Buchanan stated only last week: “Fulton’s Com- that I can conscientiously recommend for Bright's Disease. You have the only thing known that cures chronic Kidney disease.” ‘We have more letters every week than we can publish. but here is a late one that illustrates Schwartz's statement. It is from E. E.

Kendall, who has been commanding officer at the general hospital at the Presidio for the last two | vears, has been ordered to Ord Bar- | racks, for which post he will leave| early in March. During his stay at the Presidio Major Kendall has been in- strumental in getting the Government | to make many improvements there, the principal one being a new operating pavilion, whith is now almost com- pleted. It is fitted with every modern appliance and is second to none in United States. Lieutenant Colonel | George H. Torney, deputy surgeon gen- | eral. will relieve Major Kendall. The Twelfth Infantry, which is sched- uled to sa\l on March 1 on the transport Sherman for Manila, will begin arriving here to-day from posts in the different States where the members hate beer stationed. They will go into the Sibley tents at the entrance to the Presidio { until’ their departure for the Philip- | pines.
