INIHE NATIONAL GUARD.Company A of the First Does
Not Take Kindly to ItsChange.
The Third to Elect a Colonel andthe First a Lieutenant-
Colonel.
The transfer of Company A of the FirstRegiment to the Third, in the reorganiza-tion of the National Guard, is not acceptedwith very good grace by the majority ofthe members of that company.
On Friday night its regular monthlymeeting was held at the First regimentalarmory on Market street, and the menwho object to the change were lond intheir protests. The Third Regiment, theysaid, did not have a very good name, and,worse still, the reputation of Company C,which the transferred company succeedsin natfle, was far from savory. To beknown as Company "C" of the ThirdRegiment, was altogether too much agonyfor the proud National Guardsman toundertake to suffer, they thought.
Allsorts of motions were made, some torefuse to obey the. order of transference,others to disband and some to apply fortransference to some other regiment, but,of course, none of these motions were putto a vote. Captain Robert A. Marshallexpostulated with the men, and urged thatthey accept the situation with the besterace possible, and finally he asked allwho would stay with him to stand up.About a score of the members stood up.First Sergeant Newbert acquiesces in thechange.
About seventy-five men answer the roll-call of this company. Many of them haveserved over seven years and can take ad-vantage of their exemption certificates,
which one man last night slid they woulddo. Others somewhat wildly threatenedto stand a court-martial rather thanobey the order, but these threats are nottaken seriously.
Company A was originally known as theMacMahons, subsequently as the Mac-Mahon Grenadiers, and later as the Tigers.Itwas then an independent organization.About 1858 It went into the NationalGuard. Captain Marshall was the seniorcaptain of the First Regiment and is drill-master of the police force.
There is to be an election soon in theFirst forlieutenant-colonel. MajorGeorgeR. Burdick succeeded Lieutenant-ColonelHyman P. Bush when the latter waselected colonel, but resigned. CaptainIrving B. Cook of Company B becamemajor to succeed Major Burdick.
Two candidates are in the lield for thelieutenant-colonelcy, namely, MajorCharlesJansen and ex-Captain Tilden of Com-pany G.
An election willalso be necessary inCom-panv B for a captain to fillthe place leftvacant by Major Cook. First LieutenantGeorge Filmer is now acting captain.Itis believed the Thiru Regiment will
move from the Golden Gate avenue armoryto the Market-street armory, companies B,I)and F of the First to make that possibleby moving into the armory of the Na-tionals on Ellis street, where Companies Cand G—the Nationals— are now. If thischange of quarters is effected it willdomuch to reconcile Company A to its trans-fer, itis believed.
The Third Regiment is to elect a colonelon Wednesday night. Lieutenant-ColonelJ. C. O'Connor is said to have a clear field,though there has been some little talk ofMajor James F. Smith running againsthim. Itwas learned last night, however,
that Major Smith would nominate Lieu-tenant-Colonel O'Connor and that the lal-ter's election would be unanimous.
Lieutenant-Colonel O'Connor enlisted inthe old "Montgomery Guard" in the latterpart of the '70's. This company afterwardbecame Company "A" of the Third, andsubsequently Company "D." GuardsmanO'Connor climbed up the ladder step bystep as lieutenant, captain, major and lieu-tenant-colonel. He has been second inrank for about five years and wa3 majorfor three years.
Company Bof the Naval Battalion is nomore. On Friday night itmet and drilledfor the last time in the armory of the Sec-ond Regiment on Page and Gough streets,and then each man was told off to which-ever of the two remaining companies, viz.,C and D, he desired to belong.
Company C took twenty-three and Com-pany D thirty-four, the men who hadserved the longest time going to the latter.
Lieutenant C. C. Dennis was detailed tothe staff for special duty; Junior GradeLieutenant G. C. Calden and Ensign C. F.Moody went to Company C and Ensign W.F. Burke to Company D. The petty offi-cers were assigned to the companies ac-cording to their rank.
Company B had nearly $600 in its treas-ury,and on the night of the 17thinst.itwillgive a farewell banquet.
TAMING FIERY STEEDS.Professor Gleason's Kncounter With
Dixie, the Biting Stallion.
An immense crowd gathered in CentralPark yesterday afternoon on the occasionof the farewell appearance of ProfessorOscar R. Gleason.
The princinal attraction was the profes-sor's encounter with the biting stallionDixie, belonging to the Arata Bros, ofNapa, in a twenty-four foot ring. A fenceabout six feet high was erected in thecenter of the park, and Dixie was led intoit. A few minutes the professor,armed witha whip, and a revolver loadedwith blank cartridges, entered the ring.When Dixiegot a look at him he beganto plunge around and the professor at-tacked him with the whip. Dixie at-tempted to strike the professor with hishind legs, but Gleason was as wary andagile as a cat and kept out of his way.,Whenever the stallion ran at him open-mouthed the professor fired a shot at him,which staggered him temporarily. FinallyDixiebecame convinced that he could notscare the professor, and quietly allowedhim to pat him and place his hand in hismouth, to the delight of the spectators.
Three other animals were made to feelthat the professor was their master, butone of them, a little black horse, gave himconsiderable trouble. Itwas either a trickhorse or a phenomenal kicker and plunger.
A WOMAN IN THE PULPIT.Miss 11. M. Anderson Preaches on the
Queen of Sheba.The pulpit of the Howard M.E. Church
was occupied yesterday by Miss H. M.Anderson, an evangelist. The subject ofthe discourse at the morning service was"The Queen of Sheba."
Miss Anderson drew a vivid picture ofthe Queen of Sheba meeting King Solomon.She stated that the Queen had^heard apreat deal about the wonders of the greatKing Solomon. The Queen of Sheba couldhardly believe all that she heard concern-ing the wonders of this great man. Itwashardly possible that a man could be sowise and so good as he."Itwas, Isuppose," said Miss Anderson,
•'very hard for the Queen of Sheba to be-lieve the wondrous stories that bad reachedher about Solomon. She decided to go toSolomon and search for truth. Itis a pitythat the world is -not as generous as theQueen of Sheba, and search as she did forthe gveat truths."
The subject of the evening service was"The Scarlet Line."
Miss Anderson, assisted by a Miss Baker,willconduct a series of revival meetings atAntioch tnis week.
Four Inquests for To-Morrow.Coroner Hawkins has a busy day before him

HE ENDORSES THE CALLRev. Dr. Hirst on the Method
of Reporting Durrant'sTrial.
He Deplores the Relish In Many
Homes for the Highly Spiced
InNews.
Rev. A. C. Hirst, pastor of the SimpsonMemorial Church, voiced publicly lastevening his approval of the policy whichThe Call has adopted in reporting theDurrant case. The subject of his dis-course was the love that "thinketh noevil"and that "rejoiceth not in iniquity."
"These words," said the preacher, "in-dicate the real genius of Christianity moreplainly than itis indicated anywhere else.Divine love is the central force of allthings. Itfurnishes the only way to uni-versal agreement withGod and the onlysolution of the vexed problems which haveso long perplexed the souls of men. Andthe ideal Christian heart is a fountainwhence flows kindness and love.
"God himself could not do anythingwith this world of nis except along thelines of parental love. There ib really nosuch thing as an abstract moral govern-ment, and mere justice would result in theannihilation of the human race. Youfathers try to build a home on the line ofabsolute justice, and see what the resultwillbe. And yet the home is the truesttype of the world."Ihave no patience with the man or
woman who peeps orpries into the morallapses and soul-diseases of his fellows. Ascavenger has no accepted place in society,but for him Ihave more respect than forthe social scavengers, who hunt out evil intheir fellows simply from a taste for evil.
"What would you think of a man whopaid to have the main sewer of this Cityrun uncovered before his home. Yet,worse than that is being done here everyday. The great dailies
—what are they?
How much of murder and rapine do theycontain ? Yet the editors are not to blame.The reporters are not to blame one half asmuch as you who indorse this thing—
asthe respectable and Christian peop'e whohave a relish for that filth, and you dorelish it. Do you suppose the paperswould print it otherwise? No, these ed-itors know you better than youknow your-selves. Itis their business to knowyou,and they realize that this sort of thingwould be impossible if there were not arelish for it in otherwise respectable andChristian homes."If you should go into the editorial
rooms of these papers and find posted overthe door 'Thinketh no evil,' you wouldthink the millenium at hand. But allhonor to that paper which has alreadystarted out on tb'at line! Allhonor to theeditor of The Call for his editorial theother day on the lineIhave indicated, forwhich Ipersonally called to thank him.Would that the other papers would adoptthat policy,- for then indeed would the filthof our courtrooms not be displayed beforethe younsr of our land."
THE PIONEER JEWELER.To-Day the Mortal Kemalns of Henry
M.Lewis Will Be Laid toBest.
The funeral oi Henry M. Lewis, thepioneer jeweler and watchmaker of SanFranci&co, whose death was noticed inSunday's issue of The Call, will takeplace this afternoon at 1 o'clock fromPioneer Hall. The interment will be inthe Hills of Eternity Cemetery in SanMateo County, and itwillbe private.
The death of Mr.Lewis, though not un-expected, was very sudden. He was suffer-ing from fatty degeneration of the heart.On Saturday he had rallied a little andwas talking to his wife, when he called forhis watch. Itwas handed to him, andafter he ascertained the time of day hestarted to wind the watch, but before thatoperation was completed the color forsookhis face, his hands dropped by his side andhis head fellback on his pillow.
Mr. Lewis came to this citv on the barkMatilda in company with Colonel A. W.von Schmidt, the well-known civil engi-neer, and others, inApril,1849. The onlysurvivor of the passengers by that vessel isColonel vonSchmidt. Soon after reachinghere Mr.Lewis, who was a practical Jewelerand watchmaker, started in business onthe site of the store he occupied up to thetime of his death. Likemany of the otherold pioneers, he suffered losses by the greatfires in the early fifties, but he always re-established himself at the old stand andpointed with pride to his sign, "The Pio-neer Jeweler and Watchmaker." Finallyhe purchased the ground, upon which hebuilt the brick house where he died. Hehad for a neighboring structure the largebuilding on tne southeast corner of Clayand Kearny, in which, on the groundfloor, was Key's Clothing Emporium,then the most "famous clothing-house inthe city. On the upper floor was Ford'sdaguerrean gallery. This was before thedays of the ambrotype and of the photo-graph.
When Mr.Lewis started inbusiness thecharge was $10 for cleaning a watch and alike amount for replacing a broken main-spring—if there was one in his stock tofit. A watch crystal cost $1. Then in thejewelry line the only things in demandwere those that were attractive. Thefurore in the early days was whatwas known as the specimen pin for menand brooches for women. Fantastic piecesof pure native gold were mounted as scarf-pins, while smaller pieces were joined to-§ether and worked into brooches. Every-
ody had one or more of these, and every-body sent one or more East or to Europeto relatives and friends. Inmaking theseMr.Lewis realized a great deal of money,for the charges were high, though thematerial was plentiful. Mr. Lewis was al-ways a business man, and never movedfrom the place in which be firstlocated.Besides his widow and daughter he leavesa brother, who has been in mercantilebusiness for many years.
AROUNDTHEWATERFRONTWilliam Martin, the Ferry
Coffee Man, and the South-ern Pacific.
SURFBOATS FOE THE SOUTH.
The British Ship Lyderhorn Nowthe Lone Vessel at Anchor
In the Bay.
"William Martin, who keeps the smallrestaurant in the waiting-room of theferry landing at the foot of Market street,has been bearing a double burden eversince he located withstove and frying panin that out-of-the-way corner. He hasbeen dealing out coffee ana doughnuts tothe public and defending his cooking im-plements against the Southern PacificRailroad Company.
Of course William would have beenground to powder long ago if the Board ofHarbor Commissioners had not reareditself between him and destruction. Whenhe applied for the privilege of conducting
a stand he found the great corporationclamoring for the refusal of his petition onthe ground that it wanted the space andthat the stand would interfere with itsown eating places on the ferry steamers.
Sut the State of California evidentlythought that the Southern Pacific Com-pany, had plenty of room for all its pur-poses, and legitimate restaurant competi-tion on shore need not be killed in the in-terest of business afloat.
Ho Martin agreed to serve the ferry travelat reasonable rates, and he was permittedat his own expense to lit up his cookery.But Mr. Huntineton never forgave him.and has resented his invasion. Therailroadpeople have refrained from patronizing hislunch counter, and have in different waysmade ttfings interesting for him. Theycharged him $2 a month for water, whichhe is obliged to carry from the end of thewharf to his kitchen.
When he concluded to get water else-where at a cheaper rate, they refused to lethim go down on their dock to empty hisslops in the bay. That forced him back tothe Southern Pacific faucet. He cannotget a lower rate though he keeps a freedrinking place for the benefit of the peoplewho patronize the ferry-boats.
Martin one day went down on the con-crete wall to see a Commissioner, when oneof tbe gatekeepers ordered him off theState property, saying he evidently wantedto take something.
Martin's last-work in the service of thepublic was to cet an empty room in thebuilding fitted up b}T the Harbor Commis-sioners for the convenience of ladies occu-pying the waiting-room, he agreeing totake care of the place. The railroad em-ployes objected, but again the State offi-cials stood by the bold restaurant man, andalthough the wharf superintendent of taecompany vowed that he will have thatroom locked up in two weeks, their patronsare enjoying the accommodation wrungfrom him.
The British steamer Bawnmore, nowloading cargo for Portland, will take onher great wide upper deck a tugboat andtwo large surf-lighters to be used on theCentral American coast.
One lone vessel, the Lyderhorn. occu-pied the bay yesterdav, and not anotheranchor was down. Such is the demandfor all kinds of craft that each new arrivalis hauled into dock immediately for dis-charge.
AMERICAN PATRIOTISMAn Address by Rev. Donald M.
Ross at Metropolitan
Hall.
REGARD FOR THE OLD FLAG.
The Rev. Mr. Dennett Talks Aboutthe Necessity of Action
in Politics.
The 1425 seats in Metropolitan Hall werefilled yesterdav afternoon and several hun-dred people who were unable to obtainseats stood in the side aisles. The audi-ence, composed about equally of men andwomen, had assembled to listen to theexercises given under the auspices of theGood Citizenship Committee, and particu-larly to the address by Rev. Donald M.Ross, pastor of the Lebanon PresbyterianChurch on "Rome's Hand in the People'sPocket."
The speakers' stand was decorated withthe National emblem, and on the platforma Jarge number of chairs were occupied by
persons prominent in the A. P. A. andmembers of the Temple Choral Society.The meeting was called to order by H. W.Quitzow shortly after 3 o'clock, and he an-uounced the singing by the choral societyof
"Marching Through Georgia." This
was followed by a prayer by the Rev. E. P.Dennett of the Potrero M. E. Church,whose appeal to the Almighty was forstrength and power in aid of the move-ment now being made t which he describedas not only for the Nation's aggrandize-ment, but for the welfare of the wholehuman family.
"The Battle Hymn of the Remiblic,"was sung by the "choral society, the audi-ence joining in the chorus.
The Rev. C. A. Rabing of the UnitedEvangelical Church, made a brief addresson the American fiag and patrioti§m. Hesaid that the (lag was abused when it wasdisplayed in front of and over ginmillsand low dives.
"The flag is honored," he said, "when itfloats over the school-houses of the coun-try, and itis never disgraced by those whoenter and leave such houses." He con-cluded by saying that the Rev. Mr.Rosswould talk of "Rome With Its Hands inOur Pockets," and that the meaning of thiswas the public treasury.
During an organ voluntary by R. W.Lucy a collection was taken up. This wasfollowed by the rendition of "The SoldierBold," a song arranged to the airs ofSousa's popular marches by J. W. Mc-Kenzie Jr. It was sung by the ChoralSociety and was so well rendered that ithad to be repeated.
The Rev. Mr.Ross, a tall man of pleas-ing appearance, who speaks with aslight Scotch accent, well and forcibly,then addressed the meeting. He declaredin the outset that his address would notbe against the Catholic religion but againstthe interference of the Catholic church inAmerican politics, but before enteringupon his main discourse he took occasionto charge that the Catholic church, actu-ated by mercenary motives, claimed powerswhich he said itdid not possess.
He detailed at length that the railroadcompanies discriminates in favor of Sistersof Charity as against women of the Salva-tion Army,and allowed them to ride free,but compelled the Salvationists to pay;thatemployes in the departments at Washing-ton were forced to pay a portion of theirearnings to the Catholic Church, and thatmore Catholics than Protestants were em-ployed in the departments at Washington,holding that statistics showed that Iftheproportion was reversed itwould be aboutright, as the census statistics showed thatthere were not more than 7,000,000 Catholicsin the United States. He charged that inNew York, the Catholic church had ac-quired property valued at $3,500,000 with-out cost and then had been paid for per-mission to cut a street through a portionof that property. He read a long list toshow that millions had been paid by theState of New York for the maintenance ofprivate institutions.
He said that the fight of the A. P. A. wasnot with the religion of the Catholic orany church, and that ifthe Roman Cath-olic Church would draw out of politics andkeep its hands out of the public treasuryhe would withdraw from the A. P. A. Hedisputed the etatement recently made thatone-half of the women of San Franciseowere Catholics.
Speaking of one of the departments atWashington, he said: "There are elevenclerks in this department, eight of whomare Catholics and three are Protestants. Ifit were the other way it would be a justproportion. The blame cannot be laidaltogether to the Catholics, but to the wayin which Protestants can be bought andinfluenced. We must put down such prac-tices."Iam an American to-day. Ibelong to
No. 106, A. P. A.,and Ihave been an A. P.A. one year, but Iam not such on sec-tarian grounds, but because our organiza-tion is the only one that can keep Catholichands out of the politics of the country.Allthat we want is that the Roman Catho-lic Church remain where itbelongs."
He said the reason he drew attention tothe figures he quoted was that it was timethe people of the United States knew whatwas being done with their money andasfced : "Dare we squeal when we are be-ing trodden upon, or must we submit tobeing crushed by the hierarchy? I,forone, willnot submit quietly."
He again referred to frauds inChicago,aud said that very soon the frauds in SanFrancisco would be brought up before ourGrand Jury.
"God," he said, "has a destiny for thisNation— to make itthe advanced country
of the world, and any man or organizationthat would stand iii the way of this ad-vancement would be worse than insane.When this country had but 5,000,000 peopleit moved against one of the strongestnations of the world and itmoved on tovictory and it will do so again. As Glad-stone said, this Nation is going to be thenation of nations; itis to be the beacon bywhich other nations willbe guided. Un-less the people stand steadfast for thecountry and the flag they may find them-selves trampled under foot. One thing Ireeret is that Ido not hear the people singthe National anthem.'In my country (Canada), when Iwas
there, there never was a meeting at theclose of which the people did not sing'God Save the Queen. Here at the closeof a meeting the people rush pellmell toget away. They ought to remain and sing'America.' Yes, until the last word iseung."
The reverend gentleman concluded bysaving that a great American movementwas going on from New York to Vicksburgand from Atlanta to the sea, and that any-thing that stood in the way would be sotrampled that it would never feel the rearguard.
The Rev. Mr.Dennett in an impressivespeech said that as the State had an insti-tution for the detention of juvenile delin-quents, the money of the taxpayers shouldnot be paid for the support of delinquentsat the Magdalen Asylum. He also urgedall Americans to commence now and takea hana inpolitics, so that the conventionswould not place before the voters the samekind of tickets that had been presented inthe past. He also spoke of his devotion tothe American flag and to the country, andclosed by saying: "Be ye faithful andtrue nnto death and victory is ours."
Both speakers were frequently ap-plauded, particularly when their remarkswere on the subject of patriotism. The ex-ercises cloeed with the singing of"America."

The services opened at 10:30 a. m. witha solemn high mass, the celebrant beingFather Harrington. He was assisted byFather Dyson as deacon and Father Brunas sub-deacon.
Father Wyman of the Paulist3 andFather Hickey, S.J., officiated in thesanctuary. Instrumental music of a highorder was furnished by volunteers fromthe church, and the chorus was made upof Miss Price, Miss Lawlor, Miss Gleason,Miss Shannon, Miss Hickey and others.Miss Emma Desmond was the organist.
The sermon of Father Netterville, 0.P.,dealing with the early life of the founderof the order, and the remarkable growth ofthe order itself, was full of interest andforcible illustration. The speaker told ofthe, founding of the Dominican Order inthe thirteenth century by St. Dominic,and of its subsequent growth until theorganization reached out over all the world.
Though small in membership, whencompared withcertain other orders of thechurch, the Dominicans have always beendistinguished fordevout lives and scholarlyattainments. Some of the most learnedmen in the church have come from this or-der, which has given to the world threePopes, a dozen Cardinals, as many Bishopsand many canonized saints.
Saint Dominic was nearly through witha long lifeof labor in the church when heconceived the idea of organizing this greatorder which bears his name. The work ofhis life,a labor for which he seems to havebeen specially designed by Providence,was the conversion of "the hereticalAlbigenses inSouthern France and North-ern Italy. For seventeen years, often atthe peril of his life and at all times sur-rounded by the menace of dire poverty, hetaught the the truths of Christianity tothese benighted people, never ceasing fromthe task laid out"for himself in early lifeuntil the last traces of heresy had disap-peared. Then he retired to the monasteryof St. Augustine and there consummatedhis plans for the order.

BODY POUND ON THE SHORE.A Question Whether Death Was Acci-
dental or a Suicide.An unknown man about 35 years of age
was found dead on the beach, south of thetunnel of the Cliff House and Ferriessteamcar line, at 2:30 o'clock yesterday.Whether the man's death was accidentalor a |case of suicide is a matter of con-jecture with the officers in the Coroner'soffice.
A. L.Shell of5034 Third street and L.W.Clark of 612 Buchanan street were walkingalong the shore looking for a good place tofish when they discovered the body lyingface down on a little strip of beach at thefoot of the hign cliffs. The shore at thatplace is rough and broken and sharp rocksextend from the cliff far into the water.The men hastened to town and informedthe Coroner. It was impossible to getwithinhalf a mile of the corpse with theMorgue wagon.
Deputy O'Brien, with the assistance offive men, worked for several hours drag-ging the body up the face of the high cliff.
An examination of the body showed thatthe mau was about 35 years old. He had
blue eyes, a short brown mustache, blackhair, thin on top of the head. The manwas dressed in a neat black suit of clothes,white shirt and white underwear. Strangeto say his shoes and stockings wore no-where to be found. On the man's headwere half a dozen deap cuts, and therewere two others on the temples. Thesewere probably caused by the body beingwashed against the rocks.
Tne palms of the man's hands are sosoft that it is evident he was not a laborer.
The fact that his shoes were removedgives rise to the belief that he was wadingand was knocked down ,by a breaker andkilled before he could recover himself.The only property in his possession wastwo nickels.
