What the Orphans Did at the Profess
tant Orphan ASYLUM.

Mrs. E. E.. McNear. matron of the
Protestant Orphan Arylum. gave some in
formation as to how the little waits spent
the last Sunday of the year.
There are about $50. boys and 100 girls
under her care. rangingin age from two:to
fourteen years. They are already well
trained in the duties they may some day
have to fulfill
After arising at 6 80 A. NJ. they attended
services in their prsttily decorated chapel,
where choir of sixty boys voices sang
hymns in a very. creditable manner. They
then proceeded TO their different duties,
the girls to attend to the bedrooms and
other light hOusewOrk. and the boys to
their kitchen and outdoor emplOyments.
This took about one hOuT, after which the
boys and girls were left to amuse them
selves as they liked best, the boys going to
the Fairgrounds, the girls reading and
sewing in the sitting-rOOm.
Mrs, McNear. stated that even the boys
prefer TO spend most of their leisure time
IN her own sitting-room, which goes far to
prove the kindness she extends toward
them. At 3 P. NJ the children attended
divine service at the Advent church on
Eleventh street, all going, save the younger
ones, who remained in the nursery
After returning they played again until
3 p. NJ, when a light tea was served them
where the youthful . heart was made
happy with Jams and cakes and other
toOthsome things.
At GAS p. Nj. they attended a short SER
vice in their chapel. ''to quiet them down."
as Mrs. McNear remarked, and then after
spending an hour or so il reading tales
they were sent to their beds until the
New Years morn should awaken them.

ALONG THE FRONT.
How The Year Died Out Among the
Shipping.

1EIDpIHS-
The last Sunday and The closing day OF
the year 1898 was dull and uneventful
along the water front. While the weather
was not severe, yet it was chilly and
cloudy, and the customary crowd that
every Sunday sees enough of interest
along the wharves to make the circuit
from the mail dock to Fisherman's wharf
we're conspicuous by their absence.
Half dozen fakirs opened up between
the ferryhOuse and Mission 2, but
after expanding half an hours lung
exercise failedto draw a crowd and
gave up IN disgust. Fruit vendors
who count on Sunday as a star day,
were disconsOlate. The pretty Italian

at Clay street, was picture of sadness.
The peanut merchants sold no wares de-
spite the tempting prices, Two bags for

not the attenuated bags which deceptive

One spot along the front looked cheerful
1t was the boathOuse of Henry Peterson,
near the foot OF Folsom street. There the
group of b0atmen had decorated their
habitatiOns with evergreen boughs. In

NO TURKEY FOR THEM.
County Jail Prisoners Will Eat Pork
and Beans To-Day.

Neither turkey nor cranberry sauce will
be given to the prisoners at the County
Jail to-day. Sheriff McDade would gladly
provide a feast for his 10 guests, but the
cash is wanting. He will, however, do
what he can in the way of filling the stom-
achs of the prisoners with better food than
they daily receive.
Pork and beans will take the place of
turkey and cranberry sauce. The hOmely
dish was prepared last night and will be
served at noon to-day. There is enough to
go around, and there will be pudding and

Sheriff McDade called at the County Jail
and crested every prisoner. Bis pockets
were filled with cigars when he entered
the old prison and they were empty when
he departed. He shook hands with his no
torious guests, murderers, foOtpads and
iohbeTs, and went away satisfied that he
had done all in bis power toward making
the first day of 1894 less dreary than it
would otherwise have been.

Quite true. So it was with feelings of
joy rather than sadness that the little ones
saw the old year die. Ring out ye old

Seventeen years in existence, this insti-
tuition is peculiarly fortunate in securing
constant substantial patronage. Mr. and
Mrs. Mauser. whose mission it Is TO look
after the c0mfor t of the boys and girls,
spoke with feeling yesterday Of the kind

has sent IN consignment of turkeys,
while Mrs. Jacob Stern is responsible for
icecream and cakes galore. So that a
sumptuous repast will be spread at noon
to-day, where big and little will share and

There was kindergarten party at the

merry time, and enjoyed foretaste of the
good things to come to-day. The gymna-

And when the children have got through
their turkey and icecream feast, why then
we shall all adjourn to the gymnasium,
where the orchestra will strike up and an
imprOmptu entertainment begin. The
children al! enter into such sports with
will. for they are not treated as their
names would suggest-orphans. We are
al like one large family. and we don't put

They are all bright, healthy-looking

So New Years eve went merrily at the

HAPPY LITTLE ONES.
How They Welcomed the New Year
at the Youths Directory.

f. j. Kane. superintendent of the
Youths Directory, 2030 Howard street,
gave an interesting description yesterday
of the manner in which the little ones are
cared for on the last Sabbath of the year.
Sixty boys at present are under his care,
ranging from z to IA years of age. Some
of them. he stated. had been there many
years. the directory keeping them until
they are self-suppOrting, when homes are
found for them with other kind-hearted
people. If the dozen or so seen yesterday
are good specimens of the remaining boys
they must indeed be a very happy and
weIl-looked-after little crowd, so contented
and cheerful they seemed.
But on this one Sunday, which to some
people may seem the saddest day Of the
year, the little ones are indeed we'll treated
ana very few. If any, unhappy ones are
among them.
At 6 A, NJ. they rose, and after an hour
allowed for dressing, each boy proceeded to
do the duties allotted him. Some made
the beds, some prepared the breakfast
table, others swept, got wood and coal in
for the days use. These duties were over
by o'clock and the little colony had its
house 10 the neatest order imaginable.
Then mass was held in one Of the pref
TEST Of little chapels. where stained glass
windows and flowers helm 10 give the bows
impressions which Mr. Kane asserts may
often last their lifetime. The services yes
terday were conducted by the Rev. Father
MahOnev aud consisted If the mass and
short talk about the departing year and the
sacred obligations Of the coming one.
Then the boys trooDed into the large play
yard, where they appeared happy and bois-
ferrous, yet free from the roughness which
IS part of bOyh0od. AT II o'clock the din
ner-bell rang and an orderly little ol0ny
sat down to big table, over which Mr..
Kane presided and saw that his charges
got enough turkey. roast beef, salads,
cranberry sauce. mince pie and fruit. The
youthful heart delights iU those pies, and
''red sauce" as they call it, is more be-
loved than the turkey. Not imaginary
dishes are those either, nor stinted in
quantity, for Mr.. Kane limited that he
always ptied little Oliver Twist and his
"wOOden-spoon" tragedy. The boys had
plenty of time allowed them to dispose of
these good things.
In the afternoon the boys were invited
by Rev. Father Cummns of St Charles
Church to enjoy Christmas tree with his
own youngsters and every boy went back
with gift from the various pastors At
8 they returned and after supper attended
their own entertainment. consisting of
literary exercises and stereopticon views,
which began a. p. NJ.
AT the close they sang good old national
air. and after receiving big bags of candy
retired to dream of the incoming new year.

SETTLED AT LAST.
The North Americans
Bonus Raised.
The Guarantee Needed Subscribed
by PUBLIC Spirited Citizens
Upon Demand.

The anxiety felt for some days in the
community in respect to affairs of the
North American Navigation Company are
at last set at rest, the requisite sum of
100000 having practically been raised by
new subscriptions coming in and the old
ones in many instances having been
raised materially, while quite a mum der
were doubled. The executive committee
labOred early and late TO accomplish its
purpose, with the result as related by one
of its mem bers.
Daniel Meyer said yesterday: You
can say in THE CALL that we have been
exceedingly busy for the past few days
collecting money for the North American
Navigation Company. and that upon
Saturday the requisite 100000 was COM
pleted with the exception Of $4,000, which
small amount will be paid into the
treasurer next Tuesday morning at the
committees next meeting, which will oc-
cur in the Chamber of Commerce"
Mr.. Meyer, in speaking Of the matter,
made special reference to the public spirit
evinced by the contributors. Said he:
"AlvlnZa Hayward. who had already given
$4,000 toward the object aimed at, promptly
increased the amount to $40, 900 upon learn
ing that the money was needed. Mr.. Hay
ward has no interests to be directly bene-
fitted by the success Of the navigation
company, therefore his generosity deserves
recognition.
Then there is Mr.. Whittier. of Whittier
q Fuller, who increased the firms sub
scrlption from $1,000 to S3O00 The balance
of the S21, 900 collected toward the S27, 600
needed was raised along Battery street,
many Of these subscribers increasing their
original subscript ons.
Yes. the question of the 100000 being
raised can now be considered definitely
settled" concluded Mr.. Meyer, as he babe
