The morning call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1878-1895, 1891-04-28
A DENSE THRONG


When the carriages turned into Van Ness
avenue a remarkable spectacle was pre-
sented. From Hayes street to Pacific either
side OF the wide avenue was literally alive
with humanity. Fully $4,000 at the lowest
calculation, including perhaps $4,000 school
children, were on hand, and perfect sea of
faces greeted the Presidents gaze
as he cast his eyes down the
long, recedmg lines. A large contingent
of police officers, under the direct command
of Chief Crowley were on the ground, and
il required their utmost eXertions to main
tain a space sufficiently wide in the middle
of the street to allow the carriages to pass.
Even this was barely sufficient, and as the
vast crowd swayed to and fro the entire
thOroughfare was at times completely
choked with n struggling, iuStling mass of
people. Every flight of steps leading to the
various residences along tie entire line OF
march had been given over to the little ones,
and their bright and happy faces shone
radiantly from every nook and corner where
it was possible for them to stow themselves
away. All we're dressed for holiday, and
it was plainly apparent that every little tot

demonstration of enthusiasm displayed, but
the interest was evidently none the less, and
every neck was curiously craned to catch a
glimpse Of the party

uallv to bale the carriage out, but the Presi-
dent seemed to enter into the spirit of the
occasion and enjoyed it apparently with all
the zest of a boy.
As he looked on the sturdy youngsters he
must have been reminded of brght-eyed
little boy in Washington whom the world
knows as Baby Mckee, and his tender
regard for the attention Of the little ones was,
no doubt stimulated by the remembrance.

sudden close by the arrest of the artist
Alfred De Bissel, whose work in

The crowd grew too large for the patrol
man to handle, and Superintendent Col

from roll-call, took the situation into his
own hands by ordering the ar
rest of the skilfull and lightning
worker in clay. This gentleman, who Is q

pers were executed Williams abducted the
child and carried her out of the State. 1t
was only within the past month
that the board regained possession
of the girl. In his answer Williams
acknowledges the abduction. but offers in
excuse that the girl was mistreated by the
family to which she was indentured. He
says also that ne is n lineman. earning 255
per month, and is able and willing to take
