AIDING THE POOR.
What Mr.. Sutro Has Done
for Them.
Many Mechanics and Laborers Cared
For During the Long Win

that many others who are in a position to

asked by several rich men why 1 am so
foolish as to support an idle and in many
instances a drunken lot of fellows, who
would not work if they had an opportunity.
This is all good enough to say, but how
are you TO draw line?
THE applicants for meals are never in a
maudlin condition. and it is impossible to
discriminate.
None who have appeared at my office
for assistance went away dishearteHed.
Il have expended between 5000 and 500
this winter in charity, ana am satisfied that
the good work has been appreciated,
The applicants for meals were given
tickets, which on presentation 10 Captain

In need of support Some Of them actually
offered TO work for 81 day, as they were
badly in need of money, having families de-
pendent upon them for support.

Il have discontinued the custom of giving
applicants tickets because the weather is
now favorable and there will be demand
for laborers in the country"
When asked If he proposed to adopt the
same policy Of giving tickets to the poor
next winter. Mr.. Sutro sa i'd that it will
always afford him pleasure to help the
needy along, ana if assistance should be re-
quired he can be relied upon to duplicate
what he had done this winter,

Changes in the Navy.


An officer in the navy says that the old
severity and brutality of conduct toward
the sailors is rapidly disappearing, and
that while discipline is strictly maintained,
the officers try to make the men conform to
1t cheeTfully. 1t is beginning to be realized
that ships company is big family, each
member OF which owes something to the
others, and that work willingly done is
better done than when the workman is
kicked into doing it. Many of the officers
do good deal for the men in the way of
helping to get up amateur theatrica!s and
other amusements, and sailors who keep
sober ana show industry get shore leave
and other privileges. The use of grog Is
disappearing and the cooking shows I'M

w. q. Harrison Resigns
From the Olympics.
He Says He Desires TO Be in Posi-
ton to Reply to His
Opponents.

The verbal battle which took the MEN,
bers of the Olympic Club by surprise on
Thursday evening, and which was fully
described in The CALI. yesterday. promises
to be renewed on Thursday evening next
William Greer Harrison, the president,
and Vanderlyn Stow, the vice-presdent,
resigned yesterday from the offices to which
they were elected.
Mr. Harrison said yesterday that after
carefully locking over the situation he
concluded that the only way to avert
possible trouble in the club was for him to
resign the presidency.
The club proved bv its vote on Thurs
day evening, after both sides had been
heard coacerainE the saltwater franchise"
continued Mr.. Harris soE, 'that there we're
a large number of members WHO supported
the opposition, and l firmly believe that a
unanimous vote on this lmDOrtan question
one way or another is decidedly necessary
10 satisfy the officers as to the worth OF
their services.
Owing to the position I was placed in
on Thursday evening could not reply 10
Ar LawloT, although II would have at-
fordrd me much pleasure 10 havs done 50.
This Is one reason which prompts my
resignation. / desire to be placed in an un-
prejudiced position so that | can address
any particular member Of that body on
Thursday evening""
In speaking OF the situation a plomi-
nent member said last evening that he
was surprised the club failed TO sanction by
a popular vote the valuable services the
president and officers of the club bad rem
deIed in The way of securing such excellent
bathing facilities for the members.
1T seems to me-" continued the speaker,
that whenever an important matter is in
troduced there are always some dissatisfied
ones ready to cry down what it has taken
months and possibly years to build up.
"Mr. harrison, as members of the club
are ony TOO well aware, tried every means
To procure a sufficient amount of capital
from among the members TO go on with the
good work that he finally accomplished with
outside capital.
''Of the S550000 capital stock the club
subscribed about $4,000, which amount
would not be sufficient 10 defray the expen-
diture attached TO the erection of a pump
ing station.
IN other words the club would never
have had a saltwater franchise TO present
TO the Supervisors Of this city had it not
been for Mr.. HarrisOn's tireless and unceas-
ing efforts To induce such capitalists as
AdolDh and j. d. SpTeckels, a. Z. H0taling
and the Wieiand brothers to take stock IN
the enterprise"
Other members expressed themselves as
very well satisfied with what Mr. Harrison
and the board of directors mad accom-
plished, but they could nOt understand why
MI Harrison should vacate the ship when
his services we're most needed at the helm.
The verbal contest on Thursday evening
between Mr.. Harrison and his opponents

to the club, as it is said both sides will he

Sometimes one seems to know by premo-

The salt smell of the sea, the freshness
OF youth aud the old impossible happiness
seemed to come back to him as he looked
into her beautiful. glorious eyes and re-
turned her sedate greeting, She was no
