6 A CHANCE TO HELP THE CITY Contributions to the Chris tian Endeavorers' Big Convention. Still a Considerable Amount to Be Collected to Insure Its Success. Every Cent Given to This Object Will Be an Advertisement to the State. In twenty-five days the streets of this City will be crowded with visitors, who will come from the North, South, E-ist and even the West to attend the great International Christian Endeavor con vention. For nearly a year the local Endeavorers have been planning and working to give the Tisitors a hearty reception and enter tain them in a manner worthy of Cali fornia's proverbial hospitality. All who attend the convention will pay their own expenses while in the City, and it has been estimated that from a financial point of view the City will profit to the extent of fully $500,000. It is impossible, however, to estimate the value of the convention from an advertising standpoint. The committee oJ '97 have sent out nearly half a million circulars, letters and posters ad vertising the State, its wonderful climate, flowers and fruits, offering a tempting in ducement to the Eastern people who are either feeling the effects of a blizzard or being scorched by the heat. At present it is hardly possible to look over tue adver tising pages of any magazine without reading of the special rate of $25 from Chicago to California which is "open to all." Thanks to the 2500 Endearorers who have given their serv ces freely in order to receive and entertain the visitors, the committee of '97 will need only acout $25, --000 to cover the expenses of meeting places, advertising, si eskers, etc., just about one-fourth the amount usually ! asked to entertain other conventions of a simitar sin. Much of this amount was pledged last year, but there is still a con siderable sum to be collected and pledged before the $25,000 mark is reached and there is but little time in which to doit. The following is a partial list of the col lections, which will be completed as the , work progresses : Previously reported $3,983 50 i Christian Kndeavorers of Aiameda 1.654 !

It is the wish of the committee that every one who is asked to subscribe to this fund should inspect these credentials as a safe guard against imposition by unauthorized persons. They also desire that payment" be made by check to the ordar of William H. Crocker, treasurer. PARK HAS A NEW PET. The Walls of the Museum An nex Will Be Completed Early This Week. There Was an Esp-cially Gooi Pro gramme of Music Yfsteriay— The "March of the Stars" Golden Gale Park has a new attraction this week which will be of especial inter est to the children. It is a beautiful baby elk of which its mamma is very fond and proud. The walls of the Park Museum annex are nearly completed, and the outer por tion of tlie building will be finished early this week. The chimney for the new furnace is being built on the hill in the rear of the museum in order to add to its height economically. The draught will pass up to it through a tunnel on the hill side. A very large crowd was attracted to the music stand yesteraay by an especially good programme. One of the pieces most atpreciated was the "March of the Stars," composed by Miss Gertrude Spellan, which was played last week and was yes terday repeated by request. Carator Wiiconib is making a collection nf California pine cone?. He has been promised gome fine specimens. The Vic toria Regia in the conservatory m flourish ing and promises a grand blooming soon. Diving for silver coins again furnished fine sport for the youths at the Sutro baths yesterday. There was a new fea ture on the programme called a "walking under water contest. " Each man had to carry fifty-pound dumbbells on his trip and bring these to the surface at the finish to prove that he had not been swimming instead of walking. The walking on the water contest that proved a failure la-t Sunday will be tried again as a special performance. Professor Baker of Aus tralia performed aome difficult feats under water. George Young of corner Butter and Baker streets was painfully injured in ti e park by a kick from a horse. The result was a badly contused leg, but the hurt is not dangerous. Tbe Electrical Piano. A piano on an entirely new principle is announced from Germany. The strings are stretched across the sounding- board as in the ordinary piano, but the entire hammer mechanism is absent. Instead, the depressing of the key puts in action a maenet, which automatically attracts and relea-es the wire, this producing vibra tions without the metallic stroke which accompanies the son-id in the common type. The resulting effect upon the tone* is said to be very remarkable. The high notes resemble those of an JEoiian harp. The middle and lower notes are like a 'ceilo or an organ. It responds readily to every variation in power and expression. A note can be sounded for several minutes without varying ir. quality. 80 radically different from all existing instruments are the effects that a new style of music is heeded to bring out its capabilities. The speed of a camel when on a journey of considerable length rarely exceeds three miles an hour, and the swiftest dromedaries are rarely known to go faster than a ten-mile gait; but this can be kept up for twenty hours in the day and for six or seven days at a time. FRANK COFFIN QUITS CHURCH His Tenor Notes No Longer Thrill Grace Church Auditors. Shortly Alter the Shaving Edict He Fo'ded Up His Vccil Score. His Physician Mvised Him That It Would Not Be Prudent lor Him to Sing in Choruses. "With whiskers or without, Frank Coffin, who has delighted thousands with his sweet roioe, will not sing again at Grace Episcopal Church after the close of this month. As Miss Carrie Owin, one of the execu tives in the musical affairs of the church, stated yesterday, "'Ours is a choir of men, not boys," and it is upon that platform that these sweet singers are said to stand. It has already been told how a spirit of mutiny rose when It was suggested to the doz n members of the choir that their notes would sound clearer from lips un incumbeied with hair, and that an en fo cement of the edict calling for a smooth-faced choir might result in a gen eral exodus from aboui the organ. Be this as it moy the fact remains that Frank Coffin has resigned h.s position. Whether or not the ordinance of ths ladies controlling the musical board of Grace Church prohibiting the wearing of whiskers affected Mr. Coffin so as to make him give up a lucrative situation after two years of steady employment is a matter that he alone can tell, aud this he will not do. Miss Gwin, however, deplores that the whiskers story ever went beyooG the nner circle, as she says that no edict of the kind would ever have been enforced, even if the board bad it within its power to dictate anvtbiig of th> kind. "It is true," she said. "Mr. Coffin has resigned from the Grace Church choir. His resignation was requested last week, and he will cease his connection with the choir at the end of this month. ''The reason for our request that he re sign is understood by him and is quite simple. We requested him to sing in choruses, and he objected to sing anything but solos. His physician, so be said, had forbidden him singing in choruses, and we do not need him as a soloist. "In other words, we have been paying him $40 each month to sing for us in choru-cs, and as he cannot do it, or will not, we must loot for some one else who will. "Mr. Coffin's resignation will in no way affect the remaining members of the choir." PROBLEMS EXPLAINED. Another Defense by the Garrison at the Fresidic — Mor tar Practice. A N w Rifl Ran-rc— Toe New F ring Regulations Will Gira Diversi fied Practic —Post Contest. During the past week there were presented sevetal problems to the officers of the gam gon at the Presidio for practical explanation. The principal one ot these was a defense of the ganison something on the lines of the out post duty that was had some time since. The placing of the man on the Ueiensive ahow.-d that the officers in charge had gone over the field carefully, and with the available force *t band made a very creditable showing. There was also practice with the small mor tars at figure targets, and the results were most satisfactory. The new rifle range has been built in the hollow from the base of Golf Hill, west of the pumping station, and as »oon as the new fir ing regulations are received target practice with small arras will be ordered. The new regulations do away with the old-style targets ana instead thereof there are figures of a man standing, another kneeling, a third lying down and a fourth a man on horseback. These are intended to represent the enemy at fixed distances. In addition to these the new regulations have been oo arranged as to give men the ; rn< - tice that they would uae in actual warfare and in carrying out the new ideas the men will be drilled for battle conditions and will use their arms over diversified country, from behind cover and in the open. The new regu lations will introduce many new featur.-s and, in view of the danger of the use of ball cartridge in field exercise, the most rigid pre cautions will have to be taken o prevent casualties. It is expected that the target prac tice at the new range will be ordered this month. commencing to-morrow there will be prac tice with the pneumatic dynamite guns at the Fort Point battery. The officers of the post contest that tas been ordered for the 23<1 inst at the Presidio an nounce that there will be a number of very in teresting events. Many ol them will be purely military and will be of a character that will engross the attention of the civilians who will I attend. It is stated that a communication has been sent to the War Department on the subject of illuminating the post at the Presidio with electricity— electric lights to replace the coal oil lamps now in use there. A recent order of the War Department says: "The commanding officer of each cavalry, ar tillery and infantry regiment may, on the Ist oi August of each year, nominate to the com manding general of the army one subaltern for detail at Willets Point for a course ol in struction in torpedo service, commencing on the Ist day of November and ending on the Ist day of September following. The nomina tions thin made will be forwarded through i the regular military channels." Brigadier-General William R. Shafter has been detailed as a member of the army retir ing board, vice General Forsyth retired from active service. Coionel Marcus P. Miller, promoted from lieutenant-colouel of the Ftrst Artillery to the Third, rice Bainbridge. retired, has been or dered to proceed to his regiment upon the ex piration of his present leave of absence. Lieutenant-colonel John B. BabcocK, assist ant edj utant-general and adjutant-general of the department of California, reached this City and reported to headquarters last Satur in the report of the athleilc contests, dated June l, appear the following comments by the post commander: These contests have excited much interest amonK the members of the V. G. C. and the ?.ayal Reserve, and arrangements have been made for a contest to be held «ome time next month between Company H, First Infantry. and the memoes of the above organizations. If successful they will be repeated. Prizes will be contributed by citizens and the street car companies, and no charge will be made for admittance to the grounds.

THE SA^ FRANCISCO CALL, MONDAY, JUKE 14, 1897. NOTES FOR THE NATIONAL GUARD Some Thoughts About the Several Encamp ments. Will the Military Instruction to B3 Imparted Prove o Any Practical Value? The N w Drill Regulations Will Be in Force After July I-A Bat talion Drill on the Avenue. As the time for encampments approaches the members of the National Guard are pre paring to absent themselves for the seven ilars required Dy law that they shall remain away receiving iustructions under "men learned in the art of war." The officers of the several regiments are confident that they will hare a good showine at to members at the several'campi, and they undoubtedly will if men can get away. The commander of a regi ment said on Saturday: "It is impossible to say how many men we will have at camp for the reason that many of the men of my com* maud are employed in business from which it will be difficult lor them to absent themselves fcr the required length of time. A man who has employment at ibis time does not car*- to leave his job for seven day* for fear that when he returns he> will bo told 'wo have got along without you for seven days and I guess we can get along without you for the future.' It is the uncertainty of returning to positions that will det^r men from asking for leave of ab sence for the full term of vhe encampmom."' If thi> commamlcr it correct in his surmises then the camps will not be the great successes from a military standpoint thai It in expected to make them. Every man in each rrgiment ghiniid. have the benefit of the seven day-' in structions, if it is desired to tcacn him much that he ought to know, but if l'e cau absent himself for only three days and it takes him t tie best part of two to reach the camp aud re turn to the starting point, the amount of mil itary instruction he will receive will not avail him much. Of course it is not to be expected that mem bers ot tlie National Guard can be soldiers of the standard of those in the regular army, but they have much to learn— not only the men, but the officers who command them. Lieutcn ant-folonel Theodore J. H.y of the Third Bri gade, detailed to Inspect tne Second Regi ment oi the brigade, has presented a report in whlcn he commends the men generally for their efficiency, and he takes occasion to draw attention to t>rror<t that couid by avoided it officers were more careful as to the entorce ment of the rules, which, while not irksome or annoying to the men, add much to their efficiency as soldiers. One matter that he calls attention to is the habit of talitlng in the ranks, and another the failure to keep proper distances. The fault is not only with com pa nics of the Second R.jfiment of the Third Bri gade, but is noticeable in other org.nuizations ol the Guard. He also suggests that some of the officers bhould perfect themselves in the manuHl. It is possible that at the camps the men. in stead of being compelled to perform the same maneuvers that they perform in the armories, will be called upon to execute problems that have been suggested to the regular army by the War Department and which have been re cently demonstrated by the garrison at the Presidio pest. If such is done it will place the men — those who will take part In such ex ercises—in closer touch with the regular army and enable them to act conjointly with it in case of need. The aim of the War Department now is to have the National Guard of the sev eral States come up us near the standard of the regular army as possible. "li," said an army officer, "an occasion should arise that would require a combined action by the regular army and tne National Guard of a State it would not do to have a variance as to drill, arms and general regulations." The Second Brigade. Saturday night the second battalion, com posed of companies 11, B, D and L of the First Regiment Infantry, were under recent in structions of Colonel Smith ordered out for battalion drill under command of Major Sime. Companies B and D made a good showing, nu merically, but the other two companies were mere skeletons. The battalion was tiken to Van Ness avenue where they were drilled in Close order movements. Generally the men made a go~>d showing, but mere yes a great deal of talking in the ranks and lack of preser vation of company front while moving in double time, and in many Instances the dis tances wan not good, but these laults were drawn to tie attention of the proper officers ana before the drill was over tnere was a marked Improvement. Colonel Fairbanks and other officers of the Fifth Regiment leit this city on Saturday tor Santa Cruz to inspect several sites that nave been offered as suitable lor the encampment that the regiment will hold. At the meeting ot the board of officers held last Thursday night at the armory of the First Infantry it was decided that from and after the Ist of next July the regiment should drill under the new regulations prescribed for the United States army. The adjutant-general has promised to lurnish th« new regulations i before that time. After the vacation in the Lowell High School rhere will be a change in the officers of the Cadet Corps, A member of Company D of the First Regi ment, who evidently hurriedly read wliri was published last Thursday in regard to Com pany B decorating the graves of its deceased members, writes: "In thi« morning's issue of the San Francisco Call I rrad that there was only one company in the Ntilonal Guard that remembered its dead on Memorial day. Now, in justice to Company D, formerly com manded by Captain R. A. Marshall, deceased, but now under command of Captain Tiwmn McCreagh, 1 wou d like to say that on Decora tion day the company went to Floiy Cross Cem etery and to Odd Fellows' Cemetery, decorated the graves of deceased members and fired a volley over the gray of their lute captain." If the member of Company D had read the artic.e published carefully he would have noticed that it asserted that "Company B, First Regiment, claims to be the only com pany of the National Guard of California wh<»6e members regularly decorate the graves of their departed comrades." If any other company rouu.arly decorates the graves of its deceased comrades this department will gladly make the announcement. The Naval ReiurT*. The Nayal Reserve in this City was mustered and inspected last Tuesday by Colonel Potts and Co.onel Edwards, Major-'ieueral James being present. After muster and inspection, which was ashore, there was a battalion drill, during which the men made a very creditable showing and drilled well, jhere was a very good numerical showing at muster. The necessary arrangements are being made for the cruise to be taken uext month. The divls. on at Smta Cruz will come to this City and join in the cruise. There will t-hortly be an election for execu tive, navigating and ordnance officer, and it is expected that before the cruise the engineer corps will be organized. Last week the engine!" of the Comanche were turned over for the rurpose of ascertaining it the vesiei was in condition to be used for the cruise. The old vessel was found to work sat isfactorily. A War-Time .liiigle. There came into vogue about that time a '-nonsense verse," *o called, bearing upon my humble self, and vivacious enough to be widely quoted in the news rapers. It was comio«ed.

Or eIM he'd go preacb where be used ter. As a matter ot fact, it came no nearer the truth than the famous definition of a crab by Cuvier's pupil, since I had never been acurste, had already left the pulpit for literature before the war, and was so fur irom stipulating for a colored regi ment that I iiad j ■ j - 1 b»en commissioned in a while one; nevertheless the hit was palpable, and I always enjoyed it.— Colonel T.
