AN EXHIBITION OF FENCING

On the French Frigate Yes-terday Afternoon.

Interesting Athletic Ex-reises on the Duboar-

.at* dien .Given by Members of the Olympic

Club and Others.

A very •interesting and pleasing pro-gramme was rendered on board the French;frigate Dubourdieu yesterday afternoon.. It-consisted entirely of athletic exercisesand was highly appreciated by officers andcrew as well as the few invited guests.

Trie performance commenced promptly at2 o'e!ock p. M.t and at that time the deckpresented a pleasing and brilliant picture.The entire crew was allowed the liberty ofthe deck, and with their white uniformsmade a striking contrast to the dark blueuniforms of the officers and the bright col-(red gowns of the ladies. The guns werein full sight and the deck presented its

appearance except that an awning• was spread to keep off the sun's rays.

Everybody on the vessel was pleased andhappy and everything went off smoothly.

'• Theexercises|cjmmenced byperformancesen the horizontal bar by members of theOlympic Club and of the ship's company.

• But these were only a prelude to what• followed, and did not attract much atten-

tion. .What all wanted to see were thesword exercises, which were of the highestclass and of rare excellency.

The first bout with foils was between'Professor de Smet of the Olympic Club andProfessor Gueydon, one ofthe Dubourdieu'squartermaster's. Itresulted ina draw.

A very interesting exhibition wasgiven by Professor Tronchet and his

Iltfteeo-year-oldpupil, S. Waterman.

•It

showed' the power the master bad over hisscholar, as well as what control of the swordcan be obtained witha few months' carefulstudy.

Passages at arms took place between Pro-fessor An«ot and Professor Coutois, Bern--1 ardt and Guillermo, Tronchet and Guey-don, Ansot and Lastrel?, and others.

Tlie contest between Tronchet and Guey-don whs really the event of the day. Pro-fessor Tronchet was at one time instructorin the French military school at Goinvilleand Professor Gueydon Is at present one ofthe instructors on the Dubourdieu. The

Itwo men were both masters of the rapier

and passes were exchanged for several.moments, without a thrust being made. Thetwo blades of polished steel flashed likelightning and seemed to twine themselves'together like two silver serpents. Theswiftness of the thrusts and passes was- .like the flash of the wing*of a hummingbird in the suu. But Tronchet was theStronger man and soon beat down bis op-t-ohenl's defense and delivered thrusts inrapid succession, untilin a lew minutes he

\u25a0 had the best of it.-. The contest between Troncbet andChapins was an exhibition of rare skill.

Tbeu followed Inaian-club swinging, box-vdv, wrestling an 1!single-stick exercises.

The French boxing match, called "LaSavate" was a very amusing form of box-ing. Itseems to go on the theory that "ifyou can't bit, kick," and as a consequencethe combatants had their toes in the vicin-ity of their opponents' ears about as muchas they had them on the deck.

. The athletic exercises were concluded"with a wrestling match that resulted in a

•draw.

After the athletic exercises some of thelady guests rendered a short musical pro-gramme in the wardroom. Mrs. Kehleln

"sang the well-known French ballad "DeuxLaneues." Mrs. S. Blumenberg rendered apiano solo, valse dp concert, by Moskow-ski. There were several Impromptu musicalselections by members of the company.Mrs. S. Parker concluded the musical pro-gramme by singing a selection from "LaCid."

Among the guests were Captain and Mrs.E. McNevin, Captain and Mrs. S. Blumen-'berg. First Troop Cavalry. N. G. C.;Lieu-tenant and Mrs. E. Kehlien, Third In-fantry, ST. G. C. Dr. Theo llethers, sur-geon. First Troop, N. G. C.;Mr.and Mrs.Clark Parker and the Misses Richmond.

THE BOARD OF EDUCATION.

A Proposition for a GeneralIncrease of Salaries.

It Is Laid Over—Thanks for Colnmbus-DayZeal— No Hrliday on Account of Mrs.

Harrison's Funeral— Transfers.

The Board of Education met last evening.

The thank* of the board wore tendered tothe principals and teachers of the depart-ment for the creditable and praiseworthymanner in which Columbus day was cele-brated in the schools of this city. Intheresolution of thanks the board rieted withpleasure the zeal and interest displayed byteachers and pupils indoing suitable honorto the day and occasion.

Leaves nf abspnee were granted to teach-ers as follows: Miss M.E. McKinney, Mis«Cora Uart, Mr?. E. 8. Bate-, Miss M. T.Keaciy, M.»s M.Kosmiusky and Miss AbbieL. Martin.

Miss Nellie Sullivan was tran-ferred fromthe Longfellow primary to the Spring Val-ley grammar. Miss Stella B. Everett fromtie .North Cosmopolitan gran mar to theLongfellow primary, and Miss M. A. Mc-Lean was Mitffli us a probationaryteacher to the Hawthorne primary.

The following-named ladies were ap-pointed substitute teachers: Miss AnitaM. Lnstreto, Miss Matilda B. Conway.Miss Harriet E. Ma?nire, Miss Charlotte P,

.Hunt, Miss Cornells M. F. Dennott andMiss Olivia Onyon. The following wereappointed from substitute to regular teach-ers: Miss Gertrude L'Hommedieu, 11. A.Singlpy and Mrs. K. Leahey.

A resolution introduced by Dr. Decker topay the teachers their full salaries for themonth of June, thus not deducting thetime during which they were enjoying theirvacation, lacked the necessary two-thirdsvote to secure its adoption. The Directorsvoting no were Messrs. Dutton, Sewell andHyde. Those recorded in its favor wereMessrs. Brooks, Culver, Dunn, Decker andPennington. Mr. French asked to be ex-cused.

Dr. Decker introduced a resolution direct-ing that the schools be closed on the day oftho funeral of Mrs. Harrison. Itwas de-feated, both President Hyde and Mr. Sewclldeclared the policy to be unwise. Thechildren would only be released to go off onpicnics, and this would not be exhibitingany sympathy with the bereaved Presi-dent. Attention was called to the vastamount oftime that had been wasted duringthe last three months by allowing extraholidays.

The vote at a former meeting by whichthe board refused to adopt the recommen-dation of the Committee on Buildings andGrounds, that an additional wingbe addedto the Boys' High School, was reconsideredand the contract for the work was awardedto J. A. Campbell on bis bid of 2994 for thework.

A resolution offered by President Hydeto allow the teachers of the Girls' HighSchool to sell tickets for tin entertainmentfor the benefit of their library fund was de-feated.

Considfrable debate fi/llowed the intro-duction nt a report by Dr. Decker, as chair-man of the Committee on Salaries, recom-mending an increase of the salaries ofteachers and janitors, wlihh was finallydisposed of by the adoption of a motion topostpone its consideration for (me wee*.

STARR KING'S STATUE.

It Is Unveiled in the Golden9 (Sate Park.

A VERY MEMORABLE CEREMONIAL

The Great Preacher and Patriot IsEloquently Eulogized.

Immense Throngs of Citizens Assemble toTake Part in the Appropriate

Memorial Exercises.

The monument erected to the memory ofThomas Starr King, one of the pioneer,philanthropists and ministers of the gospelin this State, by the men who knew himand his work during' his lifetime was un-veiled and dedicated in Golden Gate Parkyesterday.

The statue stands in the sheltered valleywest of the aviary.

Long before 2 o'clock, when the exerciseswere expected to take place, crowds of peo-ple thronged about a temporary platformerected in front of the monument, hit liwas enveloped ina large American flag.Itwas a significant audience that gathered

around that spot.Any one at all familiar withCalifornia's

history had only to look aronud to find inevery direction men whose names form part

of that history, gray-bearded pioneers, who,in the old days, crossed the ocean or theplains to found on the Pacific Coast the nowcommunity, which they had afterward theproud satisfaction to see take its placeamong the foremost in America and in theworld.Itwas a proud moment for these veterans

yesterday when they met each other to pay

tribute to the memory of one they all hadknown, loved and admired.

William Stetson, over M years of age,had insisted upon being present when hisold friend's statue was unveiled, and ac-companied bis Ron, J. B. Stetson, who wasthe presiding officer of the day at the park.

M. 11. E*tee was also there and a verymuch interested listener and spectator. HowithE. B. Pond, the ex-Mayor, had a frontsear.

General W. 11. L.Barnes, A. S. Hallidie,J. 11. Robinson, W. \V. Stow, N. M. Orr,William Alvord, J. S. Slawson, D. Farquhar-son, Herrmnn Schussler, Ed L- Bnsqui,Irving M. Scott, General John iiidweli,Joseph Austin and a great many otherequally well-known men sat around ingroups aud talked about old times whilethey were waiting for .the first number onthe prozrammo.

But the male pioneers were not alone intheir show of devotion to the past.

Many white-haired matrons were alsopresent, ladies who were ardent admirersof the man in whose honor the, exerciseswere being held and whose adviser be hadbeen during many trying periods.

Tley did not come alone either, but theybrought their children and grandchildrenaloe? to show them how their pastor of old,of whom they bad so often epokeu in theirhomes, was being honored many yours afterhis death.

A more fitting day for such an occasioncould not have been found., The valley is the most sheltered nook inthe whole park and its climate is at alltimes .semi-tropical.

In the glorious sunshine of yesterday itlooked at its best, especially animated as itwas by the presence of so many people, inbright colored attire as well.as enlivenedby the excellent music of the Park band.

The busiest man and the one who de-serves credit for the excellent manner Inwhich he managed the affair was Theodorelieichert, tho Surveyor-General, who wasmaster of ceremonies.

To his tireless efforts it was due (hateverybody was provided with such accom-modation as was possible to give under thecircumstances.

A great many of those present preferred!o bungs about on the grassy stop**, adja-cput to the temporary platlorm, to takings**ats thereon, und as far as a gpnenl viewof the statue was concerned the loungershad, perhaps an advantage over those whosat on the benches.

The music a'eo gained in effect at somelittle distance and the coronation marchfrom "The Prophet" heard under the treesaccompanied by the singing of the birds,sounded grnndly beautiful.

The statue stands on a little emiuenceatthe eastern extremity of the. valley, and ithas a luxuriant background of evergreentrees and ferns.

There upon a loftypedestal, book inhand,stands the bronze effigy of one of the mostpatriotic servants of the Lord.

Looking steadily westward out towardthe Golden Gale, through which so many ofthose who lived in his time passed to reachthis land of promise he will stand now forages and the rays of the setting suns of thedays to come will joyously light up thatcountenance so strangely mild and firm, ex-pressive of qualities which were charac-teristic of Thoniiw Starr King.

lie. willlive forever in the memory of thecoming generations because his deeds willbe handed down from mother to child andhis bronze iuinge in the park will make theuninformed wanderer pause to ask, "Whois he?"

•When the eloquent speakers who extolled

the virtues and actions of the treat philan-thropist impressively and feelingly deliv-ered their orations, the gray heads of theold men, who were attentive listeners, werebowed, and us Dictum nfter picture of by-gone days \va» unrolled and vividly dis-played tears brought up by emotion glis-tened in many an eye amo these strongand sturdy pioneers.It was a great day in the history of the

Golden State and one that willbe inscribed

withred letters in the books which will tellthe coming azos what happened in SanFrancisco in1892.

Tlie exercises were conimenc<"i promptlyon time.

After an overture by the bard J. B. Stet-son, president of the JStarr King monumentassociation, stepped on the dais and saidthat at the request of the committee he hadinvited Mr. Stow, chairman of the ParkCommissioners, to be present to make anexplanation as to why such Rn apparentlyobscure portion of the park had been se-lected for the statue.

Mr. Sow said: "Since my arrival onthe grounds 1have been requested to makoan explanation as to the purposes for whichthe Commissioners intend to devote tinsvicinity of the park."Ifyou iay any attention to the topography

of the park, you willobserve that there is avery pretty valley to the west. About halfway between here and the sea there Is avery pretty amphitheater which is protectedat all seasons of the year from winds andstorms.

"We intend to locate the music-groundsthere. Then, through the valley we intendto mako a lawn. On the slopes of the val-ley paths willbe made lending to the music-grounds and coming from the present en-trances and others now belns made and to

!)•\u25a0 made. Tie grounds will be planted withshrubbery ami Mowers.

"This particular locality has been selectedfor the statue because of its backgroundand the punosei for which it is to be de-voted in tne future.

"lor the present, at least, there willbe nodrives to this locality. People love to conn;

here on foot and delight in the walks, hencethis valley will be reserved, meantime,specißlly for them.

"Itis semi-tropical by reason of its natu-rnl protections, and we were vastly pleasedwhen this spot was selected as the site for

tluenee and talents and with loyal ami elo-quent words did more to save our nationthan Thomas Starr Kit From north tosouth on the Pacific coast his voice washeard cheering and encouraging the pa-triotic and loyal in their devotion .to theircountry. His name was synonymous, withloyalty and devotion to the Union, and everyvalley of the State had echoed and re-echoedhi* patriotic utterances.

"With these recollections of him, his oldassociates and friends, believing the timehad come when an effort should be made 10perpetuate his memory in some lastingtribute, met on the 27ih day of June.and formed themselves intQ an association,the purpose of which was to erect to Ilamemory a statue which should stand for alltime to come us a tribute to his loyalty andpatriotism. The committee engaged theeminent sculptor, Daniel C. French, of NewYork, who baa produced the figure inbronze, which, in the opinion of relativesand iutlmato friends, closely resembles inform and feature our cornpatrht and elo-quent friend.

"The granite is from a quarry In Mis-souri, aud much trouble and delay was ex-perienced in obtaining perfect pieces ofsuitable size. The whole has been erectedunder the supervision of Messrs. Percy &Hamilton, the architects.

"The fund* for the payment of this workwere contributed by his co workers andfriends in California, not forgetting twoold Calif'ruims in New York and Boston,several Grand Army post* an.l his brotherMasons, and to-day we have met to unveilthe work of the sculptor and artisan donein granite and imperishable bronze.

"On the die we have chiseled as our last'tribute in language to the citizen, scholarand patriot these words: 'In him elo-quence, strength and virtue were devotedwith fearless courage to truth, country andhis feilow»man.'

"Itis our privilege that the grandchildrenof the man whose form and worth are hereperpetuated will now draw aside the flagthat drapes this tribute of a grateful peo-ple, and may tbls faithful copy of ThomasStarr Kine tell the story of loyalty andpatriotism as lone as the western breezesare here to fan its brow."

During thealelivery of the address thesentiments expressed therein were fre-quently applauded, and its close wasmarked with great applause.

All eyes were now turned toward thestatue, as the interesting ceremony of un-veiling was about to take place. Thetlatuewas coveted with a large ling,on which thestars and stripes wero brightened by theglorious sunshine.

There was an instant of suppressed ex-cltemeut as Norris King Davis seized a ropeattached to the flag, uti'l, with a dexteroustwist of hi*hand, exposed a portion of thestatue. Thq two oilier boys, seized withthe inspiration of the moment, joined in.assisted by Mr.Iteichert, and the work ofunveiling was quickly accomplished.

As the features so familiar to many ofli(>.,« present and the grand outlines of the

statue were revealed a burst of cheersbroke from the assembled multitude, andexpressions of pleasure at the faithful like-iip«=» were general.

The eminent divine is represented as\u25a0 standing with his head uncovered. In bisleft hand he Is holding tlib manuscript ofhis sermon and his right hand rests easilyand gracefully upon h small bronze pedes-tal. At his feet is the Bible.

Od a marble slab is the following in-scription :

1824-1864.When the audience had been given a few

minutes to feast.their eyes upon the statue,Samuel I).Mayer took the stand and led oftwith M grand national hymn "America,"the audience rising and joining heartily inthe sinjiiriK,while the band played an ac-companiment.

IrvingM.Scott, the orator of the day, onstepping to the dais was greeted with greatapplause. His oration was a masterpiece,and he was repeatedly cheered, liesaid :

"Trustees of the Starr King MonumentAssociation, ladies and gentlemen: Wehave met to dedicate this monument toThomas Starr King, in grateful \u25a0 remem-brance of the good he did. To arrive at aclear understanding of the patriotism of'Starr King,' as he is familiarly called, itseems necessary to acquaint ourselves withbis life.

"When he was 15 years of ago his fatherdied, leaving his wife and six children I"straitened circumstances. The eupportof the family devolved upon him, the eldestof the children. He did not repine, butcheer fully bent his energies to the sacredtask.

"His first employment was that of book-keeping ina dry-goods store, Ha faithfullydid his duty. Tins done, his efforts wereturned to self-culture. While most slept,be communed through their writings' withthe great masters of thought, stored hismind with the rich treasures of ancient andmodern lore, lie progressed with marvel-ous facilityup the ruzged ascent of learn-ing, but, like the prudent soldier, left noth-ing tincontjurred behind.. He mastered thesubtleties of philosophy and metaphysics asby intuition. ,

"When 13 years old he accepted the prin-cfpalfthip of a Medtord grammar school.This was a fortunate occurrence, as it pre-sented him a wider field of duty and a cor-responding means of support for himselfand those under his care, and a thorough 1

instructor, the He y. Hosea Ballou, second,noted for his varied and profound erudition

,and scientific attainments. '-"Atthe breaking out of the civilwar In

the United States Starr King was in theprime of manhood, and armed cap-a-pie forthe . great struggle. His mind, great andstrong, ". was replete with learning, uponwhose abundant and

'well-arranged stores\u25a0lie could readily draw for use. Ills rarefaculties were his equipoise— his fertileimagination consorting withhis sound judg-ment. -;Ills apprehension quickly, took in at

the Starr King statue, us anything willnourish lv this semi-tropical climate." [Ap-plause.]

R«Y. W. C. Wemlte of Oakland then de-livered the invocation. Itwas solemn in itsimprefsiveness aud grand in its sublimity.

All heads were uncovered as his voice inmeasured cadence uttered the grand truthsof the gospel and spoke forth in prtUM ofthe eminent divine, scholar, patriot andpliilantiiropist whose memory tiiev had as-sembled to honor. He spoke of the greatwork Starr King had accomplished in his•ptMN of usefulness his fervid patriotismand his li.ye and practical solicitude f«r liisfellow-man. He was beloved by all; notonly by those of his own society, but by allclasses and creeds, aa his loving kindnessand graciousness were not prescribed withinany narrow bounds, butenibracetl humanity.

Starr King was essentially a man of God,

one of God's chosen people. He spoke ofhis eloqueuceand zeal, his ceaseless, energyand his moral rectitude. Away in NewEngland, where he first labored and wherebis genial aud sympathetic manners hadwon him the affections of the people gen-erally, thousands of hearts were in sym-pathy with them that day, and joined witnhim in invoking the blessing of AlmightyGod upon the proceedings that were to fol-low.

At this stag* Starr King's grandchildren—Norris KingDavis, a handsome and manlylooking lad, 16 years of age; lioswellKmg. (J years of age, and Thomas StarrKins, 4 years of age— were escorted by Mr.Stetson nnd Mr. Reichert to the pedes-tal and took their places at the top step, theeldest on the right, the youngest ou the leftand the other boy in the center.

The two younger boyg were dressed alikeand both woro buff legging and shoes.They were bright - looking, manly littlefellows, and seemed to take especial pridein the important part they were to play inthe programme.

President J. 13. Stetion then delivered thefollowingacHress:

"More than thirty years ago, when ourcountry was in peril and when patrioticmen were anxious for the safety of ournation, there were none among the st-.nchfriends of lh« Union who gave their tn-

a glance the value of trie premises present-ed, and h:s mason rarely deduced therefromwringconclusions.

"lie inspired others with his convictionsof right, of duly. He won the confidence,esteem and hearts of the people. Menleartlly responded to his appeals— some of-fering themselves to do battle for theUnion, and others contributing in nostintedtneaiure their gold, silver and other treas-ures for the relief of the disabled Uuionsoldiers.

"We do not say that Starr Kingdeter-mined foi California the course which shepursued; but we do say that he was a mostl>otent|f actor Ineffecting that determination,and in keeping the State inher Union orbit;nnd further, thnt itv more than probablethat hla efforts effected in the aggregate agreater contribution to the sauitary fund,Tai?*ttho *

"Inthe progress of the war he lived tosee the tde of battle turning in favor ofthe Lnicn cause. He held the interests r,tthe North and the South a unit. Hi3patriotism was too loftyand broad to belimited by State or sectional lines. It teasfor its model the patriotism of Washington,which knew no North, no South, no East,no \\ est, but knew their union as an inte-ger.

"Inthe darkest hours of the great strug-gle be did not deupair of the ultimate tri-umph of the Uuion, but he lived not towitness that final triumph. His overtaxedenergies gave way a year before the finalsurrender of the Confederacy, and in theearly spiing of 1864 'ne fellat his post doingduly.

''He rests fromhis more than Herculeanlabors— bleeps his last sl«ep in the embraceof his mother earth. The azure heavens,among whose starry fields his raised spiritwas wont to tread inglory, bend over hisunwaking repese, and th« broad Pacific, indeep-toned notes of solemn graudeur, un-

iener.itions ; sees, within speaking dis-tance as a fit companion of his own. yonstatin; oLFrancU Scott Key, author of ourgrand ninional anthem, '1he Star-spangledBanner'?

"W.iin lie 'fellat his post' no words candepict the deep sorrow felt In California—aye, throughout the laud—felt for the irre-

parable loss. "Earth seemed shrouded ingloom and the heaven* draped in black.

"Aye,his work cannot be overpraised ;hev.rci!ght out a most noblo destiny— li'destinyof which the greatest potentates of earthmight well be proud. The country mournshis lose, yet rejoices that ho lived. Indeed,the ;in •*I of consolation whispers: 'lielives

"Behold! Far up the monumental columndedicated to the saviors of the Union— be-hold, inscribed in ineffaceable letters, glow-ing with transcendent beauty, the name ofThomas Starr King."

The peroration roused intense enthusiasmand the able orator was loudly cheered.

"The Star-spangled Banner" was the nextpiece on the programme. Mr. Mayer san#

the verses and the audience joined in thegrand and inspiriting chorus, the bandplaying an accompaniment. .

As the soul-stirring and patriotic wordsof the song were borne aloft and echoedthrough the valleys the effect was inde-scribably grand and inspiring.

Mr. Stetson announced his regret thatRoy. Dr.Mackenzie was unable to be presentto pronounce the benediction, as he badbeen taken suddenly ill,but ltev. Mr. Weudtewould take his place. , \u25a0'

Rev. Mr. Wendte then pronounced thebenediction.

Hut the audience did not go away, as Mr.Stetson urged them to stay till the bandplayed "a national melody, and he assuredthem they would hear something worth lis-tening to. And he was right.

The selection included "America," "TheStar

-spanelPd Banner," "Th«;Land of

Washington," "Yankee Doodle" and other

popular airs and were all rendered in splen-did style and with fine effect;- .

"BEST AND BEST BELOVED."Hon. M. M.Kstee Speaks of His Brilliant

Work.In the graceful garland of heartfelt

eulogies laid on the monument's pedestal thefollowing tribute from M. M. Estee isof peculiar interest:Inever knew Thomas Starr King in-

timately. 1 learned to know him wellbyfrequently hearing him speak and meetinghim occasionally. As a speaker Inever canforget him; what be said and how he said itwould impress the most casual observer. .

He cam*) to California in war times, atthe very hour when the nation was on lire,and although a minister of the gospel hetook Bidet for his country, lid was aChristian, and yet he favored war. Heknew that peace could only come that way.Ho spoke ot the duty of American citizensboth in the pulpit and out of it. In the pathof duty he never hesitated. He believed inhis country, in all of it, but he made no dis-play of these opinions. As a teacher amongmen ho did not hesitate to say what hethought openly, fearlessly. Hodid not seekapplause; he was no actor.be was sim-plicity itself; ho was eloquent withoutknowing it. Even his nearer* wonderedwhy they were so spellbound by his voice.The fecret was In his eloquence, his mas-terful reasoning, his pure but simple diction,and his great sincerity.

He believed a minister of the eosp'lshould mingle with and know the people,'and by knowing them well, he could teach

.them better. ;Though 40 years old when he died, on the

rostrum, and until he spoke, he looked likea boy, but lie spoke like a man and one ofthe greatest among men.

Although a minister of the Unitarianchurch, most of trie people did not know orcare to know his church affiliations; he wastoo big for any one society ;he belonged tothe people.

?Vs a speaker, he was full of surprls es.He always startled his listeners by say ingan old thing in a new or better way, or bysaying something so uew that It was arevelation. 7 .

His speech atPlatt's Hall urging dona-tions to the Sanitary Commission was \u25a0conspicuous instance. The topic was famil-iar to all, but it was reserved to him tomake the most persuasive appeal that everfell from the lips of man. Ican Imaginehow he said, "Give, give, Ipray you

—there

are no enemies in the hospital or thegrave";how ne described the ciant strug-gle then impending over our country; of thesick uncared for, tin* wounded unattended,the dead unburied, or if buried, left withunmarked graves; bow he said that no sac-rifice was too great, no labor too arduous, ifthe nation might be made to live; and whata nation, and what a death such ;inationv. oii'id die, and how much Its death would'menu to freedom and to civilization.Ioften, beard him lecture, for his attain-

ments were as varied as they were brilliant.He seemed

'to grasp •

the whole field ofknowledge, and yet he never left anythinghalf said or any act half done. .-—~---."..

When he died he was the bast knownand one of the best beloved men iri~olirState He did not seek notoriety, but for jthe right ho knew no fear. He was asmodest us a woman. No* man possessed'greater courage of conviction. In the highestand best sense he was an orator; he was aChristian from inspiration, a patriot byInstinct. _ hi. M. Estee.

lilK LESSON OF HIS'LIFE.

An Earnest 1. Unite to the Memory of(lie Great I'reaeher.

The following interesting tribute to theinfluence of the great patriot preacher hasbeen offered by his friend, A.S. Uallidie:

Although: a generation has passed sincethe struggle for national existence com-menced,.when the State was balanced onthe keen edge of doubt, and knew notwhether her destiny would bo with the old11 g or the rebellions States, the- memory ofThomas Starr Kingis yet fresh in the mindsof those who remember the events of thatperiod, and knew how he threw, his wholebeing into the preservation of the Unionand the salvation of California.'

Gifted with an eloquence that moved |men to do better thau they had heretoforedone, he used it for one purpose, for oneend— for his, for our beloved country.No man with less patriotism, with less

bravery, and less of the magnetism andpower of his personal eloquence would havechosen this work or could have performedit so well.

A generation has passed, and those whowere within the horizmi of bit parsoualfriendship value the memory of it to-day asthey valued the fact ilien.

\Vho of California can estimate our debtto him? W« erect a statue to his memorywhich willrecall the fact of his existence,hut the memory which rests in the breastsof those who knew him is a greater statuethan can be raised by the hands ofman.

PoSMttiaC the gentleness of a child, hewas liberally endowed with a power ofspeech and loftiness of sentiment that per-suaded and convinced, and bravely usedthem for bis country* and his God.

With an earnestness and energy ofthought, a cift of expression far izreaterthan was possessed by any of Ins contrni-t'orarie.% they were beyond hi* physicalability to maintain, which fact he realized,but still continued his work. How muchmore does the sacrifice seem when be vol»;untarily continued in the path which hekiifwmust end in death to him, but mightend in lift*tn the nation?

It is well to remember in these timesthat Starr King lived. The lesson of hislifeis still a lesson, and will be such aa longas true love for country exists.

THE HAH FORJCOUNTY CLERK.O. W. Lee, a Tried OfflelnT, Want, the

foaitlon.Mr. George YV. L?e, the Republican nomi-nee for County Clerk, U one of the promi-

nent jr«*tagmen of tiis young men's politi-cal crusade.Itis generally admitted that In this cam-

paien the several parties have placed in thefMd the very best tickets the city has hadfor years. From the beginning the presentcontest gave promise of beiog a hot one, andthe nominating committees determined topush to the front the be9t material at theirdisposal. To this end young men, am-bitious and energetic and of unimpeachablecharacter, were selected for the more prom-inent offices. Mr. Lee, the present Collectorof Licenses, was noniluated for CountyClerk.

While in every respect a thoiough-goingCaliforninn, Mr. Lee is not a native s >n.Hr was born in Pennsylvania in 1858. In1862 his family removed to this State, «nd itwas here that Mr. Lee was educated andcrew up. From youth he was a great handat making friends, and the large number ofacquaintances he has in tliis city rejoiceover tbe prosperity ne has attained. liehas proven his eligibility to the CountyClerkship by the able manner in which h«

ha 9discharged the duties of the severaloffices he ha* filled. Re was long connectedwith Mark & Co., the wholesale druzetstsof 911 Front street, and later with MaxWolfen &Co.. the Davis-street oomniHMonmerchants. For some time he has heM aposition of trust with the Spring ValleyWater Company.

He was head bookkeeper in the StreetDepartment under Charles S. Kuzgles andWillaui PattnrsoD, in the days when har-mony prevailed there. From this it canbe seen he is competent to fill the office ofCounty Clerk, wtiich, in the main, is onlyan elaborate system of bookkeeping.

As Collector of Licenses he has shownhimself to be an efficient and courteous offi-cer. During hU term the revenue of thedepartment has increased over $34,f>00.

The Collector of Licenses has ho sinecure.He has 20.000 distinct accounts to make outand more than half a million dollars to col-lect each year. This work Mr. Lee has doneto the satisfaction of h\[ rooeer&ed. Hewas complimented by both the Auditor andTreasurer upon the neatness and dispatchwith which tie finished his work.

He is much liked by all who have had anybusiness dealings with him. He is unim-peachnble in reputatiou. nis indorsementscome from peonle of every political creed*
