Directors. FEATS OF STRENGTH. Giant riicnoins" Who Are Interesting the Public The arrival of C. A. Sampson in this country, wlio is considered one of the strongest men in Europe, and who comes here ostensibly for the purpose of meeting Louis Cyr of Quebec, Canada, in contest of strength, has raised the question among many people Dot thoroughly posted in physical culture as to whether the various feats performed by these strong men, tile strength exhibited and.

the wonderful physique displayed by them are the result of gymnasium twining, -Vrefercnce to all works and treatises in existence on the nude of developing the body by artificial means will, however, show that sue!) is not the case. Heavy weight-lilting and exercising with heavy, weights have been on the decline for a quarter of a century, the policy pursued in the various gymnasiums and athletic clubs alLover tho world at the present time being to exercise with as light apparatus as possible, thus developing the muscle slowly making it of an enduring quality. The modern idea is to make the muscles quick of action, instead of sluggish quality which heavy-weight work produces. Consequently the man as developed in the. gymnasium under the present system of physical culture is Dot a weight-lifter, nor can he be classed as strong man In the technical use of the term, although when put to the test he would outclass the natural born giants in the matter of endurance.

Strong men, i. those of the Sampson and Cyr type, exhibit great strength from early childhood and are U'it the products of gymnasium or athletic work. Each country has its giants in strength and they come to the surface as suddenly as they disappear, for they are not long lived. The reason why they are short lived is because in their anxiety to break records they strain or rupture themselves, and net infrequently they die suddenly by bursting a blood vessel while in the act of performing some wonderful feat. Louis Cyr, who is a gtant in strength and filature, is only 27 years of age, li feet inches tall, and weighs, stripped, 323 pi uuds.

His client. Inflated, measures 5H inches; his waist, 4S inches; biceps, inches; thigh, 32 inches; calf, -4 inches; and neck, 22 inches. Cyr'sstar performance is lifting, or properly speaking, raiding from the stage a platform on which rested 3336 pounds ol iron. St-inpson's physique is pretty much the same as thai of Cyr, except in height, the latter having slightly the advantage in this respect. has an excellent and is only rivaled in Europe by one man, Sandow, who has ma his reappearance on the London stage this season.

This contest between Cyr and Sampson has an International flavor to It, should prove very interesting to those interested in heavyweight athletics all over the world. To show where these physical giants come in and how they are unearthed it will only be necessary to call attention to the latest discovery maiie of auother phenome- nun in this line, Nut low Ins with him in London now a man who is even stronger than himself, and he found him In a Stone quarry near Aix-la-Chapelle, where the new nSpiiant tor athletic honors was engaged in lifting huge blocks of stone into trucks. The stage name of this "phenom" is "Goliath," and lie is said to be a regular Hercules. "'Goliath" is 6 feet inches l.Lh. Weighs 378 pounds, and measures 68 inches around the Chest mid 33 incites around Hip bead.

He considers it an easy task inarching around on the stage with a weighing 400 pounds on Ills shoulder. This feat, however, and similar ones, have been performed and even excelled before. For instance, on March 28th, 1811, Tuoinas Thompson put an iron bar on the back of his neck, seized ho of it on either side and bent it until the two ends met. 11" also tore, without apparent great effort, a rope of a diameter of two inches, and lilted a horse clear over a bar several feet from the ground. It is on record that a German named ISuchbolz lifted with his team a cannon weigh! 200 pounds ami fired it off while in that position.

There are feats on record performed by men who did not appear in public. History records the fact that a butcher lived in South Holland, a quarter of a century ago, who killed calves by strangling them. Charles I. uvier, a carpenter in Paris, found it child's play to roil a tin basin between his fingers into a cylinder. Such a man would play.

On one occasion be carried off a soldier on guard, who had gone to Bleep in the sentry-box, and deposited both soldier and box on a low churchyard wall close by. HAND-BALL NOTES. A New Club Organized Its Oliicers ami em bei I Owing to the precipitation ol rain yesterday the record of scores made in the handball contests is very meager. Each court had one game finished before the rain started, and after that nil contests were postponed until a more propitious day, though the players practiced most of the afternoon.

There were three rubs played. JlcKinley winning the first and third ami Finnigan the second, 'Ihe score was as follows 16-21, 21-19 and 13-21. After the game was played the announcement made publicly that (he San Francisco Court had organized, elected officers Rod adopted a plan of campaign. The club expect to take up and carry out every challenge made them in good faith. The organization of the club has been the outcome of agitation amoi the lovers of hand-ball, and good results may be looked for.

The following are the officers elected and the roll of iiu inbershiD: President, George Dickens; Vice-President, James Kearney; Secretary, Joseph Lorns; Seraeaut-at-Arms, Richard Corcoran John Con way.

A Practice Game in (he Bain at the Grounds. The California Cricket Association have not yet prepared a schedule of games, and the Erst schedule gitii.fi will not be played till April sth. The members of the various clubs are iii the meantime taking advantage, of every opportunity to practice, and are rapidly getting into form. Several member? of the four clubs "that compose the association went over to the Webster-street grounds in Alameda yesterday and started to play a practice game in spite of the steady drizzle that was falling. The sides were captained by Hood and Reynolds.

Hood's side went first to the bat, but after 3 wickets had. fallen and the score stood at S3 the rain began to fall heavily, and the game was given up. The play did not present any remarkable features. Webster mode 16 in careful style, and was not out when the slumps were drawn.

A race was inn yesterday on the track of the Olympic Club that came near smashing to smithereens another Pacific Coast record for iprintine. The lace was for 440 yaids, for which the entries and hand were as follows: S.

An Interestius; Chapter of Cali- fornia licniiniscences. Fl'PClal to Thk Mohnin'pi Call Editor Morning Call We read with the greatest interest anything that may be written concerning the history of California, sometimes forgetting that we may number our friends some old-timers that could tell us interesting stories, with the added interest of personal participation. There are several gentlemen, uot so old either, in and alxmt Niles, who will tell you of the customs of forty or forty-five years ago. and of the methods ol and earn- Ing money then. Of courso tho main iniiustry was cattle raising and tiie Americans who first came intu this valley were allowed the use of the land to pasture the cattle, which they bought of the Spaniards for a mere trifle, and at tne annual round ing-op, or "rodeo," Americans and Spaniards joined amicably in tho work of branding the cattle and tlie festivities following, which often lasted many days.

Sometimes these were held near Santa Clara, sometimes near Ilaywards and sometimes ou the very town-site of Xiles. The last one was probably the lust one held in this part of the Stale, and was in IKS in Palomares Canyon, a few miles northeast ol Hay wards. The Mexican and Indian herders would gather the cattle, together, and the owners and their families would gather at the appointed plac and after the work of branding, which gave ample opportunity for the display of fine horsemanship, tho families would spend the several days in dances, bull and bear ikhts, which was one of the regular institutions as late as picnics and games and displaying their horsemanship. Just north of Miles there still stands on the old road a heavy, square post or so, about 10 or 15 feet. high and or 10 inches square, which were the pate posts of the old corral.

About two miles west, in the Bell Ranch, stood, until quite recently, a large bell, which raug to call the herders, both Mexican and Indian, to their meal--, and in the California Nursery Grounds still stauds a large Adobe building, iv fair state of preservation, where they ate and slept in a suit of attic overhead. Across the road, in the Chittendin Ranch, was another adobe where the overseers live I. Iv directly back of the old mill, stums another adobe, built by J. J. Vallejo, which was occupied as a.

residence, sometimes by himself, and which is still as a residence. Still further in the canyon, a mile, perhaps, in a most romantic spot, is sin old adobe used as a stable, and which was the home 01 one. of the relatives of the Vallejos. hat little wheat was raised was panted after the ground had been scratched over by the old iron plows, cut with a sort of hand-scythe, and then stacked in great piles, a fence built about it ami horses turned in. The Indians, who were on the stack throwing down the grain, kept urging the horses around, occasionally springing down and turning me.

animals about. Uueof thesethreshiug grounds was just south of S. Stiver's barn, and the grain was threshed iv this manner until early in the titties, when threshing machines were brought out. The grain was cleaned by being thrown In the air some windy day, but the thrifty housewife, who ground her own wheat for flour lor first washed the wheat aud dried it before grinding. Potatoes were raised by the Spaniards, but none were larger than an inch or so in diameter and poor in Quality.

The Americans raised onions, potatoes, cabbage and lettuce near the streams, which they sent to the city on the many schooners which came to buy provisions, beef tallow, getting SI pound for onions and potatoes and SI apiece for cabbies. The tallow they tried out and ran into the hides of the beeves, which were sewed up, aud shipped it in that way. As soon, however, as the gold discovery became known ill-- thousands of goldseekers poured Ihrnugh tim valley on to the Mission, taking tlie pass through the hills toward Stockton, and bought every bit of green produce possible to be grown. In 1850 the Vallejo Hour mills were built; cattle, were driven to the hills for pasture and the valleys were settled quickly by squatters, who planted to grain. The Indians followed the fortunes ol their Spanish protectors and employes or were driven into foothills, "lid lacking the care and protection and the good housing which they had had, died by hundreds every year, until now there are but few about tho towns living iv tumble-down shanties and working by day's work.

In Niles there are perhaps thirty altogether, six of them being neophytes of mission in Its palmy days. On the Meyers place nave beep found several relics of the old Indian campiuggrouuds; a spring iv the hillside had been walled up with cement and atone: several tine specimens of grinding stone and pestles, and on tie hilltop one of their piles of stone for devil worship, upon which were thrown bits of crockery or beads, which the children often pick up nowadays. Below, in the almond orchard, is a hollow where the temescal, or sweat-house, was built, and at the mouth of the little gulch, bandy to wood and water, were their little adobe huts. To-day every vestige of the life and means of living fifty years ago are gone but the few old adobes falling to pieces, an old settler or so living in peace and plenty, and a few, very few, oil Indians, making rare pilgrimages to the beloved old mission, plodding slowly along the roadway their fathers trod before them, returning to their huts to wait but a little longer for the end. The orange trees In Mayhew's grove are ripe and ready for shipment.

Last year a few were sent to market which compared most favorably in sue and color with any s'-nt from Southern California. This season more will be sent. Mayln-w has added to hi- grove until now he has probably iA) trees, which, when they are all in bearing, will be no small addition to his income. He also has sever. lemon trees so loaded with fruit in all stages, from the blossom to the ripe fruit, that the limbs lie on the ground.

Tho weather having settled, farmers are busy finishing plowing and doing the late planting, The prospects for this season's crop are particularly good. The result of the spraying processes seems to have been quite satisfactory, and the orchards are looking cleaner than for the past two years. The roadways are in splendid condition, not a rut or drop of water or sand. The Fanners' Alliance held a meeting last Monday evening at the residence of J. A.

Bunting, every member being present. Two new members were initiated. The club seems to be quito prosperous. New members have been initiated at every meeting. It decided to have some one member at each meeting read a paper upon the live Issues of the day, the other members to read the subject up and join in discussing it afterward.

The subject for the next meeting is "The Silver Question," the paper 10 be prepared by J. C. Sains. Mrs. H.

A. Mayhew gave a tiddledewinks party last Friday evening in honor of Miss Baker. About twenty-five guests were present. The parlors had be.en profusely deCOiated with almond blossoms by Miss Florence Mortimer, ana the game was played in a progressive manner, prizes being offered as in progressive euchre. Miss Grace Chisliolrn and Mr.

Eaton won the star prizes and Davis and Mr. Cameron the booby prizes. Dainty refreshments were served during the evening. Sunday last was one of God's During tiie day the many tram pens attracted much attention, by twos, by threes and by tho half dozen. They were on the roadways, the canyons and on the hills.

The day was so c.our that every point for miles could be clearly Sau Jose in the south to the hills hack of Sau Francisco, a turn in the hills just hiding the city and Oakland.

Cheap Food for Poor The Lodging of the Homeless. "Buenos dins, senoriln," was the salutation given to a young lady of Mexico yesterday, quanto ouste luglese?" "Buenas dias, si, senor," replied the brunette.

"sly anish is getting rusty and I'm glad you are sh accomplished," was the rejoinder, "so that you can tell us how much you charge for dinner." "Dos pasos quatro two bits and tour bits." "I am afraid cents is the individual limit, so you may bring us the 'dos pasoa' variety, if you please." A Call staff artist and a reporter, believing that the mode of their living waa extravagant ami the cost excessive, and that retrenchment was an absolute necessity In view of their Impoverished lhiaucial conditions, decided to skirmish in the slums for a cheaper boarding-house. In accordance with this unanimous decision, they turned their footsteps in the direction at that portion of the city commonly culled "Barbary Coast." After au external inspection of several human feeding-places, they selected an old rookery, ornamented with a sign which bore the voids in red letters, "La Sorbnsa," Eurnuiurttd by a diugy representation of a Mexican eagle. On a smaller board beneath were Inscribed the words, "Mexican Restaurant, Up the steep, narrow, creaking stairs the newspaper men climbed, and walking along a short covered pntsage entered a fquaie room, with a low, smoke-begrimed ceiling. There were several small tables in the restaurant, on each of which were a cruet-stand, two glasses and a pitcher of yellow Sprine Valley water. Two larue mirrors, so arranged that every movement of the gufsts was reflected in one glass, visible, it seemed, from the kitchen, adorned tlie walls, and the two occupants ot the apartment were soon cunsc ions of a rigid scrutiny, conducted from a point of vantage In an adjacent room.

Au attempt had been made to remedy its youth by tlio addition of a consideinble quantity of alcohol, and this combination of liquids might well make a strong man tremble. A sevencourse table d'hote dinner was served by the pretty waitress. The soup contained live kinds of vegetables and a large piece of boiled mutton.

This was followed by inaccaroni end tortillas, the latter resembling in appearance thin buckwheat cakes, were rather insipid, but the frijoles, or red with pepper sauce, constituting the next dish on the programme, were entirely free from any suspicion of insipidity.

Mexican cigarettes. It was somewhat difficult to swallow portions of this diet, but by shutting their eyes and taking a firm crip of the table to strengthen their determination, the wouldbe gourmets managed to effect a respectable clearance of the viands. In justice to la belle Mexicans it should be stated that the dishes were clean and the food nicely served. Seven courses, including wine and cigarettes, served by a handsome girl, and all for "two And yet some people complain about the cost of living with a tabled'hote dinner offered at a within the means ot all. How is it that people cau be so foolish as to patronize expensive restaurants and swallow costly French nnd Italian dinners with such a plum hanging ready to be picked? The most surprising feature of the question, however, is that all the lioiirdinj; proportion of San Francisco's population do not emigrate to ary Const and trow rich over the accumulated savings obtained by taking advantage of cheap prices.

Wishing to compliment his attractive hostess, one of the visitors inquired, "Are all the Mexican restaurants as good as yours?" With a demure glance from under her long eyelashes the maiden answered naively, "Well, 1 don't know. You that for yourself." Reluctantly her guests iiade her adieu, each endeavoring to persuade the other to make the first exit, the object of this maneuver betas to secure the linal smile from th- charming brunette, whom, It was ascertained, was unmarried and disengaged.

Two dishes cooked to order for 15c Twentjrone ineM-tlckcts for $3 cash. The delightful ingenuousness contained in the clause regarding int'-rrniiiitloii of the waiter, should patrons desiro to rcceivn the change to which they are entitled, is positively refreshing. The concluding sentence unintentionally voice! the sentiments of eTery caterer on Barbary Coast. The cash equivalent required in exchange for the meal tickets is, in Accordance with a long-established rule, recocnized by all, that no credit shall be asked. or given.

"Cash In advance" is the. invariable requirement, anil no transaction is completed until the buyer displays the color of bis money, no matter what the nature of the purchase or whom the buyer. In passing through the Italian quarter the two homeless Call orphans stopped in front of a baker's window, where they were confronted with a sign which speaks for itself: Italia GrlMlul Bread Witt) Hutar 25c a pound, Ooutl6o" At a Brondway restaurant the following announcement was posted in a conspicuous pluce: Meals 1 Tie, with 2 meat (llslies. I ire must) for bleak fast, dinner, With all lr.cmiNils. Slumming is an appetizing employment, and: after tramping around for sometime two hungry and weary individuals descried a wooden hand, which seemed to beckon invitingly to the wayfarer, and at the same time indicated a neat little, room where rrfreshnients can be obtained.

Beside the entrance hung a sign in large black letters, which read CnHee and fi cents. My coffee cannot beat, as 20 yean ol my life have bee niveii io tlie study of how to make this beverage. A specimen cup of this coffee fully established its excellence, and exemplified the wisdom aud profit obtaiueit by twenty years of study, There seems almost no limit to the minimum prices of Barbary Coasi restaurateurs, and the purchasing power of a nickel to a stranger, a constant gratification aud surprise. It is not difficult to imagine the of a hungry man with a depleted treasury at beholding this inscriptiou: Veiinlcelll Soun. nnd I'oik, with Beer or Wine, 5 cents.

It is true that these viands are spread upon a rough board, in ii loathsome groggery inhabited by people degraded and repulsive, but neveitheless human, in the midst of a sickeuitg of stale beer nnd Chinsre cigars. The price asked for the entertainment, it must lie admitted, is not latge, and probably the are in kecpiug with the charges. A more elaborate menu, and a greater variety in the choice of beverages is "offered for tho samo sum of money iv tlie words on The Hr, tbe WWtfiUty tliut rhirard. a sign, suspended from a door, which led to an apartment identical in description with tlio last mentioned. The sign was as follows: Mock turtle houp.

Fiankturtcr fausaua and roast beef, witii any straight dunk, 5 cents. What greater variety or more tempting dishes could bedesired by the most exacting epienre? And yet there are men, whose dally dinner is composed of that same soup, sausage and beef, with some "straight" beverage, who are dissatisfied with the meal and aie discontented with fhelr lot iv life. The board is certainly not expensive on the Barbary Coast, and infinite variety obtainable by a daily change of pastureland. The charges for lodging are in the same proportion. One large block on Broadway, a resort for a certain if mariners, offers nightly accommodation at prices varying from JO cents to half a dollar.

The former sum will not procure a separate room, and the latter amount does not include the services of bootblack nor the freedom of the bath. Shelter from the inclemency of the weather is insured, and if man is very tired and uottoo fastidious he may possibly obtain some sleep. That is all. The proprietor offers no further inducements and noue other are expected by his lodgers.

Two well-dressed, young women passed into Ellis street from Stockton Saturday evening, chatting and lauclilng merrily. They had not proceeded far when they mv Into the embrace of Officer Authony aud the latter did not neglect to embrace them.

Iv fact he was in search of the truants nnd politely introduced himself to them, at the same time offering them his escort the City Prison. It was a prim proposal, but they consented after the seductive blandlshmeuU of the urbano officer. While they were sobbing in prison, it was learned that tlieir names are Lillie Archer end Mabel Schtwffer. Both have been astray from home for several day aud had been consorting with very bad company.

Tournament of the California Fencers' Club. I. 'W. Levy Wins the Local Degree of Skill Displayed by the Contestants. At the rooms of the California Fencers' Club yesterday a novel as well as most interesting exhibition was given befoTe a few friends and the members of the club.

The occasion was the club's first tournament, in which five of the more advanced swordsmen competed for the local championship. Henri Ansot is Instructor and manager of the club, and by him the guests were conducted to the fencing-room, an apartment uniquely decorated with swords, Indian clubs, dumb-bells, antique pistols and carbines, and indeed, everything suggestive of sport and warfare, to which fencing is considered to bear a near relationship. On the floor a narrow space was chalked off obliquely from corner to corner, this being the field of action, as it were, of the contestants. Professor then announced that five minutes was the allotted lime tor each and calling the names of Kelly and Knight, those gentlemen stepped forward and faced each They were attired from head to foot in canvas clothing, and over the chest and right arm a heavy piece of leather protected the body from injury by sword thrusts. Over the hand hojding the sword, or foil as it is technically called, a padded glove was drawn, and the face was protected by a steel mask.

QUICK VOBK. Instantly the contest was begun, Knight boldly taking the offensive and Kelly retreating with agility from his fast-raining thrusts and gracefully springing forward to advantage himself of a miss-step and oversight on his opponent's part. As the swords swished and clashed, cutting the air with such rapidity as to present the npuearaiico of tin intricate net- work of steel, from which sparks of fire flew, the novice could see no method or purpose in the sport, but as one or the othor stepped back and the referee sboutod "louche," it was apparent that the combatants well knew what they were about. i he fencers seemed very evenly matched, neither boing able to acquire any decided advantage, and when time wits called each had scored two points. With a courtesy the tired duellists stepped aside, and Cert aud Dully took their places.

It was soon seen that the former was no match for the latter, bis thrusting being violent and bis parrying impotent against the cool, skillful onslaughts of Dully. Cell's sword was constantly in motion, but Dully, when waiting an opportune moment to thrust, held his foil perfectly steady, and thus 011 one occasion succeeded in disarming his opponent. At the end of five minutes the score stood 0 to 3 in Daily's favor. ANOTHER BOUT. Knight then crossed swords with Levy, who at first seemed a little wild in Ins thrusts, but soon hi.i superior swordsmanship became manifestt although Knight managed to better him one point, the score being 2 to 3.

'1 in 11 followed most animated passogeat-arm9 between Kelly and Cerf, the former taking tho offensive and making his rival look sharp to avoid his rapid thrusts. The swords bent almost double as they came In contact, mid at a very inopportune time for him, Kelly's sword snapped, the ringing blade falling in a distant part of the room. With a new foil, however, he succeeded in scoring two more points than Cerf, whose touches numbered four. In a cautiously fought bout between Knight aud Dully, the former came out one ahead, and Kelly and Levy then faced each other, the former starting out with impetuous attacks, which, however, were well parried by the latter. Alternate, points were made aud the score stood 4 to 4, when Kelly was and lime, called before lie could recover his blade.

FLASHING BLADES. In the next bout Dully bettered Levy by 1, the score being ti to 5, and Knight following with a contest with Cerf made 4 to the the other's 2 The next encounter, Dully and Kelly being the participants, caused much merriment, as with loss oi breath and fatigue the fencers' arms had become somewhat unsteady and their thrusts wild. Dully retired amid applause when succeeded in bettering Kelly with 3 points, the latter securing Cerf -and Lew followed, but the former was utterly winded and tired out, Levy easily scoring 11 points to his 1. This cln3ed the contest, Professor Ansot announcing the following scores: Levy, 10; Cerf, minus 13; Dully, ti; Knight, 4, Kelly, 1. Levy was declared champion, but gracefully declined the honor, saying that he had an advantage over the others in so easily vanquishing Cerf.

FINISHED SWORDSMAN-SHIP. The day's entertainment was then closed by a bout between Professor Ansot and Alfonso Trillanes. Chancellor of the Mexican Consulate. The swordsmanship of each is most finished, and after five minutes of parrying and thrusting, advancing and retreating, the contestants were declared evenly matched. The other members of the club are: Dr.

Campos (Venezuelan Consul), C. Dolet, M. K. i rank, K. Godchaux, F.

B. Kellom, W. Karlin, Joseph Lonjon (French Acting Vice-Consul), C. Leinoiisin, A. liosenthal.

SOBERING HIM UP. Ducking a Man for Getting Sailor A party of sailors from the cruiser Charleston took in the water front last night, and at the same time stowed away considerable water-front whisky. About 10 o'clock they became aware of the fact that one of their number was roaring drunk, and they set about straightening him up. They tried several remedies, but without succeeding. At last they hit on a plan that worked first-rate.

They led their tipsy shipmate across to the boat landing at the foot of Clay street and unceremoniously dumped him overboard. The cold water brought him to his senses, and lie struck out for the float, and was fished -out by his shipmates, who seemed well pleased with the result of the experiment. The last seen of the crowd they were standing at a saloon bar drinking hot rum. PERSONAL NOTES. Senator R.

The Pledge Exacted of Catholic Coufirmants. At the Sncred Heart Church yesterday Archbishop Kiordau administered the sacrament of confirmation to 128 boys and girls, Rev. Father Lagan, assistant pastor, having devoted the two moDths previous to their preparation for the ceremony. Besides the confirmation, each of the fifty-two boys, by signing the following pledge, becaim: a member of tho Cathoiic Youth's Total Abstinence Union: On this, tin! day of my confirmation, in grHtltude to tlice, God, for the many graces tliou liiisl bestowed upon me, and, as a reparation for the many offenses committerl against thee by tlio Inieniperate, of my own Iree will, (Jo hereby associate niyself with the members of the Catholic Youth's Total Abstinence Union, and do solemnly promise to abstain from the use of all intoxicating drink until I have attained Him nge of 21 years. Ddga to accept, Lord, this offering I have made to tliee.

Bestow upon me, I beseech thee, the grace ot perseverance, and crant that, serving thee and not my appetites, I may live soberly and piously in this world, and, dually, obtain from thee the happiness of life eternal. Amen." The Archbishop, after conducting the ceremonies of confirmation, delivered the sermon, which was followed by the benediction of the most blessed sacrament. He then spoke in familiar terms to the youths, warning them of the dangers of intemperance and pointing out the evils its presence among us has begotten. He desired to attack it at its root, believing that if the boy is shielded from its influence the man will need no antidote against the malady. But if youth becomes tainted the blight of manhood would surely follow.

The speaker, before his elevation to the position lie now occupies, had ample opportunities of observing in thtt practical walks of life the miseries Inflicted upon the people by this national failing, and, although there was not much of it in that locality, a knowledge of the calamities that followed in its train would help to strengthen all against the possibility of ever yielding to its approaches. The fruits of temperance were domestic comfort, respect of men, peace and plenty, health and virtue, a long life, lavor 01 God and eternal happiness. Conversely, those of intemperance were ruin of families, contempt of men, troubles and poverty, sickness and vice, an early death, anger of and eternal misery. "A young man, according to his way, even when he is old he will not depart from it." This is the first occasion in which the pledge of temperance has been made ati incident to ttie sacrament of continuation in this city, although thn custom is now in vogue throughout the rest of the Catholic world. RUINING YOUNG GIRLS.

Depraved Women Who Wish to iiliist Body and Soul. Detective Anthony, who Is specially to attend to such cases in which female vagrants aud young girls aro concerned, slated yesterday that he regretted he did not detain a young girl who was deluded into going to Guatemala on the City of New York, the same vessel on which he arrested May Gardener, a minor, and May Hayward. The Hayward woman he arrested for enticing the Gardener girl to go tv Guatemala for immoral imrposes. The girl he did not detain wns Lucy Palmer, a Scotch girl who bus been employed in this city as a servant for the past three years. She did not know exactly why she was going to Guatemala except that sne had been told that she could earn veiy much higher wages as a servant there than here.

The Palmer girl had no relatives in this city, but since the sailing ol Ibe steamer her nunt telegraphed Anthony from an interior town to stop tlie girl at any cost, na she was certain she had been decoyed away fur immoral purposes. however, tlie Palmer girl was over SKI jean of age. the officer, without the orders nf her relatives, could not act in the case. A mini tier of theatrical people visited the City Prison yesterday to are the Hayward wi.iuiin and contradict the statement iv a morning i mat she was also known as Camilla Cleveland. Caiuille Cleveland was stated by them to be in New York with the luck" company and to be quite a different character from Harvard woman.

The latter has occasionally been a chorusgirl in third-class companies, but of late has been keeping a Questionable house in Guatemala. She stated herself yesterday that the theatrical biography assigned to her was incorrect and that she had not so described it. Her real imme is said to be Belle Masters. Detective Anthony statesthat the Hay ward woman has been the companion ol one Billy Manning, a well-known character about town. The -officer states that Manning recently took SHOO away from the Hayward woman, deserted her and spent the money ou himself.

He is also authority for the statement that there are quite a large number of deDraved women who Keep houses of ill-fame, in outside towns now in the city for the purpose of enticing young girls into their dens. Two of these abandoned wretches are front Victoria, and the officer states that they are offering £200 premium for each young girl that they can obtain control of. FORTUNATE GADELLE. He Kecovers Most of the Money of Which He Had Been Kohbcd. Much domestic trouble vm caused by Officers Murray anil Wren yesterday in their search for money that was taken from Peter Uadelle on Saturday uisjht in front of the saluou of John Kearney at 427 Pacific street.

Gadelle on that occasion was knocked down, bruised and roobed of cold wiitoh and in coin. Kearney, the proprietor ol was arrpsted and hargeiTwith rubbery, and was meiiuhi-U oy the vii'tini as the man wlio attacked him. 'lhe watcli was recovered immediately after the crime had been committed, in the stovepipe of the saloon, but the money, after a diligent search, could nnt lie found. Subsequently tlie oflicors heard that a purse baa been picked DP in the vicinity of tile robbery by a boy. The boy found, confirmed the fact, and strengthened his confession by pioitucing tne purse aud a S2O Hold piece, lie told the officers' that he had given the balance of the money to playmates, all of whose names a gave.

When the officers invaded tin' households rpferred to there was truublo beyond measure. It required firmness as well as diplomacy to recover the gold, but finally one alter another produced the coin until Hie sum of jTS bad been collected officially. When the purse was shown to Gadelle he instantly Identified it as being the one that he had, and gave the denominations of the gold pieces that it had contained, lie was right except as to a couple of pieces that were missing and had not been recovered. The sv.pposed nccomplice in the crime has not been A Sheriff Charged With Drunkenness.
