THEIR FIRST GRADUATION.
Crowds Leave Grammar

High Schools.
SONGS, SPEECHES AND PRIZES.
One Bright Potrero Boy Won an
, Apprenticeship In the Union
Iron Works.
Eight of the public schools of the City
cho»e Thursday of the closing week of the
term fcr the day of their graduating ex
ercises.
Of the eight, the exercises of the Potrero
school, of which Richard D. Faulkner is
the energetic and progressive principal,
had a special ana significant character to
add to the interest which always attaches
to the closing days of another educational
year and the further educational progress
that is then emphasized.
At the Potrero school, which is in the
tenter of a purely industrial community,
the prize of an apprenticeship in the me
chanical engineering department of the
Union Iron Works was won and awarded
amid the features of an entertaining pro
gramme, among which were several
speeches by school directors and educa
tors.
At the present time the Potrero School
marks the greatest advance that has been
made in developing industrial education
in the grammar schools of the City. For
the girls there is a special teacher of sew
ins: and cooking as there is in two other
schools of the City. In the work for boys
the sloyd system has been effectively put
into operation and the use of tools, wood
carving and industrial drawing are among
the things taught.
School Director Henry T. Scott, who is
the president of the Union Iron Works, has
taken a special interest in the industrial
work of the Potrero School and the offer of
the prize named was the result. After a
competitive examination among the boys
who had pursued the course during the
year, it was awarded to Benard Hedstrom,
a Potrero , boy who is thus enabled to go
from a grammar .school into the draught
ing department of the big ship-building
works where a successful career is open to
him.
It is the hope and expectation of those
who are developing practical education in
the schools that many other manufactur
ing establishments will follow the example
of the Union Iron Works and so encourage
and stimulate this modern feature of the
work of thelpublic schools.
The graduating exercises of the school
were held last evening at Potrero Opera
House which had been beautifully decor
ated by Principal Faulkner, his teachers
and the pupils, and which was crowded to
the doors. Director Henry T. Scott pre
sided and the following programme was
rendered:
Class song, "Summer Fancies"; welcome,

ticeship, Dr. Charles A. Clinton; addresses,
Director Andrew McElroy and James G. Ken
nedy; class song, "America."
In his interesting address, George W.
Dickie, superintendent of the Union Iron
Works, compared the building of a man
of-war to the building of human character.
"She must go on In her appointed
course," said the speaker, "and it is not to
waete time in chasing after small things,
hut to meet and overcome powerful ene
mies, and must therefore be powerful, both
in offense and defense. She must be large
ia conception and complete in equipment,
itnd so must the man be who is to success
fully meet and overcome tiie powerful ob
i tacles in the line of duties marked out for
aim in his sailing orders."
A man's displacement of the wrong,
mean and deformed by the larger and
stronger elements of His character, his sta
bility amid the waves of life, his radius of
action, which in a ship depends on her
i»ipply of fuel, stores and ammunition, and
his offensive and defensive powers, de
pendent upon his mental and moral char
a< ter, were made features of the parallel.
The highest medal, the Denman, was
awarded to Mary F. Doyle and Lexie Mc
-1 'onald. The Bridge medal was won by
David A. Dickie. The following gradu

THE SAN FRAXCISCO CALL, FRIDAY. JUNE 7, 1895,
THE REV. H. M. SCUDDER
His Very Sudden Death From
Apoplexy in Winchester,
Mass.
WAS AN OLD-TIME RESIDENT.
At One Time He Was One of the
Prominent Ministers of San
Francisco.
The Rev. Henry Martyn Souuder, whose
death occurred in Winchester, Mass., from
apoplexy last Tuesday evening, was at one
time a resident of this City and for six
years pastor of the Howard Presbyterian
Church on Mission street, near Third.
"The Rev. Mr. Scudder," said David N.
Hawlcy yesterday, "was a wonderful man
and a most magnetic pastor. During the
time he was pastor of the Howard Presby
terian Church he preached to larger congre
gations than any other minister. For a
period of six years he was pastor of that
church, and every time he preached the
THE LATE REV. H. M. SCUDDER.
• [From a photograph.]
church building was crowded. He was a
man who never' wrote a sermon. He stated
his text and spoke extemporaneously.
His style was strong and was liked by the
great majority ot those who heard him,
but of coarse there were some straight
laced people who were of the opinion that
he was inclined to sensationalism."
The Rev. Mr. Scudder was a native of
Ceylon, born on January 5. 1822, and when
10 years of ace he was brought to America
by his parents. He, after graduating from
one of the New York colleges, studied for
the ministry and graduated from the
Union Theological College. He went to
India as a missionary and when he re
turned to the United States he was for a
number of years pastor of tho Reformed
Dutch Church of Jersey City, N. J.
In 18fi5 he had a call from the Howard
Pjesbyterian Church of this City, which
he accepted, and the cresent edifice was
erected upon the suggestion of D. O. Mills,
John Bensley and Elijah Bigelow, who
composed the building committee. The
church was built in 1866 and dedicated
January 6, 1867.
Dr. Scudder did not approve of the loca
tion and expressed the opinion that the
church ought to locate it in St. Ann's
Valley, near Market and Powell streets,
■where a suitable lot was offered for about
?12.000. He believed in the growth of the
City, and results show that his judgment
was sound.
After serving for six years he tendered his
resignation, against the protest of his
friends, giving as a reason that he had
worn himself out. He was offered a vaca
tion of six months with full pay, but he
declined to accept it, and in March, 1871,
went to Baltimore, Md., where his mar
ried daughter was living with her husband,
an officer of the army. rie subsequently
went to Japan, and then returned to the
United States. He leaves a widow and
three children.

DE. CLINTON ON TEAOHEES.
He Expresses His Views at the Lincoln
Evening School.
"If the financial stress were such that it
came to a question of closing the Lincoln
Day School or the Lincoln Evening School,
I should vote for the first," said Dr. C. A.
Clinton in his address to the medalists of
the Lincoln Evening School. The occasion
was the graduation exercises of that school,
which took place at Odd Fellows' Hall last
evening. The doctor pronounced a eulogy
upon that school in particular and the San
Francisco schools in general. '"The schools
of this City rank among the first in the
land," said he, "both as regards the
character of teachers and pupils. If it
were true, and remember I do not admit
that it is, that as it has been claimed, the
Normal School has a low standard," does
Mr. Murdock think it was improved by
importing a youth from Pennsylvania,
with a few educational fads, to place at its
head?"
: Dr. Clinton presented the Denman
medals to Mabel Addie Turner and Violet
Isabella Henry, and Bridge me&als to Wil
liam C. V. Shield, Richard P. Henshall,
Herbert Keating Keon, John E. Nieland,

INCOMPARABLE CHILALI.
An Interesting Celebration
Held Along the Shores
of the Harbor.
THE ERECTION OF THE ALTAR.
Consummation of the Sacrifice.
The Chops and the
Sausages.
Not alone in bounding "o'er the glad
waters of the dark biue sea" do the pleas
ures of a day's outing on the bay consist.
The joy the mariner feels in weathering
the threatening reef, the exhilaration of
sailing close to the wind, yet always keep
ing "everything full," the gratification of
getting the jib down at the proper moment
and rounding to cleveriy just over the
moorings, are all separate and distinct de
lights, but there is yet another, germain
to the perfect harvest of pleasure of a cruise
in the harbor. It is the Chilali.
The Chilali, aa its name indicates, is of
Spanish origin. It is good to eat — so good'
that gallant Sir Francis Drake himself
might have indulged in it on the shores of
Tomales Bay with much benefit and com
fort to that distinguished navigator. Its
origin may, for all the enlightenment his
tory affords, have extended as far back as
Christopher Columbus. The name of its
inventor is, most unfortunately, lost in the
mists of antiquity. Whoever it was, he
was a benefactor to his raoe and deserving
of a monument on every shore where this
superb compound has furnished forth the
sacrificial feast.
The wind is fair and strong, and the
yachting party has sniffed the crisp west
ern breeze to the extent of inducing that
magnificent and priceless appetite which
yachting gives to those who truly love that
incomparable pastime. The sun is at the
zenith, and even the steep and threatening
cliffs at Point Bonita cast no shadows to
dull the flashing foam of the waves that
lash their iron front. But not among this
stern part of the harbor's inclosures shall
the Chilali be consummated. Its altars
must be erected on some quiet shelving
shore, where the flowing tide laps the
sands with soothing and musical welcome,
and the sheltering oaks grow close to the
water's edge.
The operation of rounding to has been
neatly performed, and the anchor is
dropped. Along the eastern shores of
Angel Island, or in any of the pretty
coves that indent the mainland to the
north, are spots destined by nature for
the meetings and celebrations of the
Chilalians.
The yacht's company disembark first.
It is necessary that all should go ashore
except the favored few who are to stand,
nearest the altar and minister to the neces
sities of the high priest. He comes last
with the ingredients close under his own
venerable eye. When the boat's keel
grates upon the yellow sands a chosen
band of the enthusiasts wade out to meet
him and receive the. vessels of the feast
directly from his hand. They are bare
headed as well as barefooted' and their
demeanor is as of those fully impressed
with the solemnity of the duty intrusted
to them. The choir ashore Bing a pean as
they approach with the treasures.
Meanwhile a previously appointed band
of Chilalians have scattered along shore
and collected chips. The fire is ready, brit
no one but the high priest must apply the
torch. When the blaze goes up, the first
act in the celebration of the Chilali has
been performed. The minor acolytes
make a supplementary fire, which is for
the preparation of broiled chops and
sausages. These viands have been selected
from a host of competitors as alone worthy
to succeed the royal dish of the feast.
On either side of the high priest the as
sistants engage in their separate functions.
One wields an egg-beater, another chops
young onions and green chilis together, a
third slices a judicious mixture of old and
new cheese and a fourth prepares the to
matoes, canned or fresh, for the sacrifice
The high priest plunges a gleaming cork
screw into the neck of a Dottle of hock,
and, as its lifeblood gurgles forth, tastes it
to prove it good. He examines his large
caldron and his nickel-plated frying- pah.
At a signal from him the stokers subdue
the blaze and rake up the embers. Then,
to slow music, the caldron is placed on
the fire, and in a moment half a roll of
sweet and fragrant butter is hissing and
simmering in its highly polished interior.
The sacrifice of the Chilali has begun.
The skillful and experienced blending of
the component parts of this inimitable
marina is acquired only after years of
practice. The cheese-parers, the onion
and chili choppers and the tomatoists
serve for many seasons in those humble
capacities before they are endowed with
the degree of the Order of the Iron Spoon,
which is the highest rank the Chilalians
can confer. This means high priesthood,
the grand blender and compounder of all,
upon whose shoulders rests the entire
responsibility of the sacrifice, and to whom
failure means dishonor and disgrace and a
reduction to the menial offices of cheese
parer, or perhaps if the failure is excessive
ly gross, to the chops and sausage brigade.
When the Ghilali caldron is taken from
the tire, and its grateful and delicious
odors spread broadcast, the society sur
round the high priest, preserving a grave
silence. Each, but in no unseemly haste,
extends his plate, in the center of which is
a large piece of toast, specially prepared
for the occasion by the most expert toast
maker in the City. With his huge ladle
the high priest gives to every member his
portion. The sigh of intense satisfaction
which follows the first mouthful is the re
ward of that great and good man. He
seeks no other; his cup of gratification is
filled to overflowing.
The broiled chops and sausages that fol
low are enjoyed as an agreeable finare.
Hot from the coals, they fill those inter
stices of appetite which the grand
dish of the feast has left. No one ever
dared to eat Chilali to a surfeit. The desire
for more is imperatively in accordance
with the constitution of the society. The
Chilalians never meet more than twice a
month. To assemble more frequently
around the smoking altar woulu be to
form an attachment for the material ex
istence too strong and enduring for mortals
born to die. Dajtckl O'Connell.
CHEISTIAN WORKERS.
Success in the Missionary Field
Achieved hy Two Jfew Yorkers*
Beginning this afternoon at 3 o'clock,
there will be a convention of Christian
workers at the Howard Presbyterian
Church, Mission street, near Third, con
ducted by the Rev. A. B. Simpson and
Stephen Merrit of New York City. There
will be three meetings each day and Mr.
Bimpson and Mr. Merrit will take some
part at each service.
Mr. Merrit has a remarkable reputation
throughout America, being one of the
leading undertakers of New York City, as
well as a preacher of the gospel. He very
thoroughly believes in applied Christianity,
for at one "time during a period of special
distress he was feeding 25,000 people daily
in the city of New York.
Mr. Simpson has achieved remarkable
success as a founder of missions in all
parts of the world, and to-day 250 mission
aries are looking to him for their salaries.
They are never disappointed when they
trust him to raise the money.
Arnheim Must Answer the Charge.
Herman 8. Arnheim was yesterday held by
Commissioner Heacock to appear before the
United States Grand Jury and answer a charge
of having used the mails to dun Mrs. Captain
Plummer. According to the prisouer Captain
Plummer contracted a $ebt with him of $9 10
in 1891. By the statute of limitation it is now
outlawed, but Mrs. Plummer says that Ehe will
not accept that as an excuse, but .asserts that
the bill was paid In full by her husband long
before his death.
When the notice of the arrest first appeared
in the Call the initials of the prisoner were
given as "W. 8." This was a mistake, as the
correct Christian name is Herman S., as given
above.
PASSENGER AGENTS.
All Have Joined the Union and Only
Two Have Not Put Up the
Forfeit.
A meeting of the Passenger Agents'
Union was held in the Marble Hall of the
Palace Hotel yesterday afternoon. A call
was made for the $100 forfeit, which each
agent joining the union was required to
put up to guarantee against the cutting of
rates. All those present except two pre
sented the necessary sum. The two com
panies not yet represented in the union
are the Northern Pacific and the Great
Northern.
The agents of both tfcese companies an
nounced that they intended to join the
union. They were waiting for responses
to telegrams they had sent the main office
before depositing their forfeit.
The union has not yet obtained its offices.
A number of locations have been exam
ined. The committee reported that they
would probably decide in favor of a suite
of rooms in the Mills building.
PACIFIC KENNEL CLUB.
Its Members Discuss Canine
Subjects and Elect
Officers.
Charges Against Judge Davidson
That Were Not Investi
gated.
The Pacific Kennel Club held its annual
meeting and election of officers Wednesday
evening. The election resulted as follows:
H. Bfer, president; E. H. Wakeman, first
vice-president; Herbert Spencer, second
vice-president; Clarence Haight, secretary
and treasurer; Horace O'Rear, correspond
ing secretary. The new members pro
posed were: I. H. Debborn, Louis Hagan,
Dr. F. W. d'Evelyn, L. H. Waldron and
T. J. Baxter. T. T. Williams, who In pre
vious years judged some of the non-sport
ing dogs exhibited at shows held under the
auspices of the Pacific Kennel Club, was
elected an honorary member.
The secretary reported that the club
had lost something like $260 on the recent
bench show. The number of dogs ex
hibited two years ago was 369 and this
year there were only 350. Although the
club ran behind financially on the bench
6how venture it has the snug sum of 81200
on hand, a portion of which some of the
members thought should be expended on
an entertainment that should be a fitting
termination to a big venture. After some
discussion it was voted that an entertain
ment to members only should be given at
some near future date and that a com
mittee consisting of Clarence Haight, T.
J. Watson and J. G. Barker should be ap
pointed to make the necessary arrange
ments.
Business matters were next discussed
and in response to a request from the sec
retary of the American Kennel Club a
committee of three was appointed to con
fer with the secretaries or the Alameda
Sportsman's Association, Columbia Ken
nel Club of Portland, Or. , and the Southern
California Kennel Club with the view of
reporting ail violations of the laws of the
American Kennel Club to the secretary of
that organization.
Delegates from the club 3 named will
meet in this City and any grievances they
may have will be reported accordingly to
the secretary of the Pacific Kennel Club,
who will in turn report for final settlement
to the secretary of the American Kennel
Club.
There was nothing done regarding the
500 rule, which has created so mnch talk
and discussion in dog circles on this side
of the mountains. The American Kennel
Club is seemingly satisfied to accede to the
request of the I'acihc Kennel Club in this
particular, provided that the Denver Ken*
nel Club is not included in the list of Pa
cih'c Coast kennel clubs. A request was
presented from J, B. Martin, a sportsman
and breeder of fox terriers, that the Pacific
Kennel Club investigate charges that
have been instituted against "Honest"
John Davidson, the judge of the late bench
show, by John Heffernan and Q. R. Deben
ham, bilt the presiding officer ruled that as
the charges were outside of the jurisdic
tion of the club action could not be taken.
It was voted that "the Honorable" Clar
ence Haight be presented with a suitable
testimonial in behalf of the valuable serv
ices he had rendered the club in the past.
