Dr. Fred W. d'Evelyn presided, and a programme of music and song was contributed by Miss Etta Welsh, Miss Louisa Smith, Edgar Bayliss, O. J. Williams and Pro- fessor Robson. The American and Eng- lish flags, which covered the back- ground of the platforin, were draped in crape, a tribute to the memory of "the late Mrs. Mary R. Hewitt, who was president of the Ladies’ Auxiliary of the union, and who died March 18. The feature of the meeting was an of The Call, on the subject, “Blood is Thicker Than Water.” He spoke in part as follows: MUST HAVE UNITY. This is & world of Incessant strife and endeavor, where no race nor family can stand at all unless the members of it stand “‘all for one and ome for all.” The history of mankind has been a history of Woe to every race whose members have not felt, or have not been loyal to the ties of blood kinship. Of such races it may be said their blood was thinner than water, and they have either long since perished utterly, or eise been reduced to servitude and absorbed by races whose men have known how to act like brothers jn mutual.defense against any. foe that threatened even the weakest of them. At the time' when Tatnall uttered his fa- mous saying, ‘Bood is thicker than water,” it | could have been spoken of several other races [ far_more- accurately than of the Anglo-Saxon; for at that time there was comparatively lit- tle popular . sympathy - between the people of the British islands and the people of the United States. The traditions “and hisiories of both cousitries were largely made up of wars, and of the prejudices; tagonisms growing out of the ‘other hand, while the Anglo-Saxon race was thus dominated by mutua} jealousies of one kind or another, there was developing among certain European races, and particularly among the Itallans and the Germans, a spirit of racial sympathy destined to profoundly af- fect the whole Buropean political system. 1t was the vigor of this race sentiment that the success of Bismarck ‘and _Cavour United Italy dnd united Germany as proofs that blood is thicker than that it is indeed so potent that when | it begins to throb in the hearts of the vallant and the loyal no, power on earth can stand hatreds and an- s those w; On e of that spirit is to-day more potent than ever, because it is more widel and more acutely felt. It is the chief cau: of the distu: es in the and in Southeastern Europe, because the peo- ples of the various races inhabiting those countries - -are eontinually planning, plotting nd striving t> find some means a racial unity a self-governinz nation. SLAVS ARE MOV ING. The most momentous of these various race movements is that which Is stirring in the minds and in the hearts of the Slavs. is already manifest that out of the movement toward Pan-Slavism -there s to come the great story of this century, for the stirriz of the Slav day Italian meant ago. velous means as much to the world to as the stirring of the German and the to the Europe of fifty It promises to be one of the most mar- stories of all the ages, but at the time it threatens to be qne of the mething_more than a sent mental ation which at this time is drawing so many of leading minds of ery branch of the great English-speaking race into a closer and closer correspondence one with another in an effort to revive the ancient kinehip and brotherhood of the rage. Stould the blood of the Anglo-Saxorbrace ever become thinner than water the future of the world would be Russian or Chinese. A great race has built up a great empire from the northern to the southern seas: it has settlea its children in all the vast unoccupled lands of the Americas and the Australlas; it has petablished beace through just government it has-given.to the poorest and the weakest a degres of protection to life and property never known before. POTENTIALITY IS \\ ONDERFUL. In the accomplishment of ‘all these mighty works from the days of Magna Charta down to our time the Anglo-Saxon race in all its branches and in all its widespread dominions has_-grown rich, .prosperous and proud.

We may not agree fully with those words of the great South African dreamer, but even the least sanguine can hardly doubt that if a genuine blood loyalty grew up among ‘the men of our race there would then be a power sufficient to guard civilization against any threatening dacgers from the banded barba- rians, despotisms and superstitions of earth wat blood loyalty which s so essential to our race in the approaching struggle for su- premacy, we may reasonably believe. will be attained in the near future.

B. Spreck- els, president of the commission. Edward J. Duffy and Dr. Gale re- quested the commission to adopt meas- ures to better conditions at Buena Vista Park. It was explained to the delegation that the Commissioners had made aplication to the Supervisors for .an allowance of §15,000 for this park. Interchange of information brought out the statement that acavengers were using Buena Vista Park for a dump- -ing ground. The delegation was ad- vised to wait on the Chief of Police and request that an officer be detailed for duty at that park. The subject of referred to the su- perintendent. Superintendent McLaren was 1in- structed to provide a separate inclosure for the kangaroos of Goldcn Gate Park. In a recent fight at the park between a deer and a kangaroo the deer killed his adversary. In a general discussion as to the ad- visability of providing a new wire fence around the buffalo padduck Commis- sioners Lloyd, Dingee, Altman, Sullivan and Spreckels particlpated. Rust is corroding the wire of the existing fence, and there 'is some apprehension that the herd in a.rush may break out. On motion of Mr. Lloyd, seconded by Mr. Dingee, the superintendent was in- structed to buildea pathway alongside the wagon road from Twenty-fourth avenue to Spreckels Lake. Commissioner Lloyd gave to the me- morial museum a/ rare and valuable collection of coins. Some of the tokens were coined by the Romans 500 years prior to the advent of Christ. The do- nation was received with special grati- fication.

The News' information is to the effect that the legal departments | of-both roads are now .working on the | problem, by which, so far .as the act- ual operation and traffic plans gre con- cerned, the Central Pacific becomes a part of the -Oregon Short Line -system of the Harriman lines. ; ————— Disappointment . is, not -a_sufficient reason for discouragement. o < 2 creasing spirit of good will between the tio peoples.

KE PARK AFFAIRS |ALLAIRE FOUND DEAD IN PARK Bullet Hole in Skull Tells How an Oakland Insur- ance’ Man Passed Away Fron 2 . SUICIDE IS “SUSPECTED Drinking, Gambling . - and Shortage in His Aceounts” Lead to Untimely Grave - The body of H. Allaire, city agent of the Oakland office of the Equitable Life Assurance Society, was. found in Golden Gate Park last evening by W. S. Horton. A contusion over the left eye showed that Allaire had either been murdered or had committed suicide.. He was found lying on his right side about 300 ¥yards from what is known as Obser- vatory road. -In his pocket was found a pill box containing a powder. The powder was taken to -a.drug store and analyzed. The chemist pronounced it morphine. > The man was well dressed dnd wore - patent leather shoes. What made the affair look like murder was the biood on one side of Allaire’'s face .and a small hole over his right ear, that looked as if it might have. been mlde by a small caliber gun. = An official of the Equitable Life As- surance Company, on hearing of the discovery of Allaire's body last night, said: “I fear that his deathis. due to suicide, as he has done a great desl of gambling of late and has gone a pretty hot pace. He is algo .consider- ably behind in his accounts. -He has been very despondent for the last few months and 1 am- not very much sur- prised at his death.” Allaire had been missing from the office for several days and a search was about to be made for him. From' the appearance ofhis body it fs thought that he.had beeh dead two or three days. . SR W. H. Pratt, who has-charge of the Oakland -office of the Equitable Life- Assurance - Society, could net be lo- cated last .evening and - the exact amount of shortage in Allaire’s aec- counts has not as yet been ascertained. —_—_— ADVERTISEMENTS.
