Miss Evelyn Reeves with fine effect and
clearness of enunciation, and she was
forced to respond to an enthusiastic en-
core.
General Tozer said he could not make
a speech but he had been carried back
thirty years and he could not help
thinking of the changes since that time
Then they were in the field. Lincoln,
Seward, Mcclellan were the great men
of the day. Now they are all gone At

Mrs. Groves was called on to speak
for the Ladies Relief Corps of Cali
fornia, and did so in neat but brief
speech, congratulating Mr.. Hubbard
on his election
George w F'icks spoke, saying that
Comrade Benefits banquet of thirty
years ago was not to be compared TO
this, and the banquet enjoyed in those
days by Mr.. Hubbard in the Shenan-
doah Valley was not to be compared to
this, for he was not then Mayor-elect
OF Sacramento. But the bars that were
then placed upon his shoulders were
placed there as a mark of appreciation
for his bravery on the battlefield by
the grandest nation that the sun ever
shone on. This is the first time in the
history of this city that member OF
the Grand Army had been elected to
high position among the city's officers.
Then followed a beautiful vocal duet,
The Mountain Home, by Misses
Pearl Jackson and Edna Smith, accom-
panied by Edward Barber.
c. V. Kellogg said that for the first
time in the history of the city one of
the comrades had been selected to fill
the position of executive of the city.
He fought four years TO perpetuate
this Government, and the Grand Army
is proud of him, and he could have
filled any position in the department
that he wished. The speaker thought
that fitting time had arrived for the
presentation to Comrade Hubbard OF
mementO OF the occasiOn-One that had
unquestiOnably largely aided in his
election and should therefore receive
due recognition. He hoped that it
would remind him always when he
wore it to keep fast locked within his
breast the purity and honesty that
contributed to raise him to this posi-
ton.
He then hung around the neck of
Mr.. Hubbard an immense leather pad
| lock, upon which was inscribed: Total
vote, 2,5S3, 1896-lS97. G.. A r. Plu
rality, 263."
The room resounded with laughter,
and three cheers for Hubbard were
given with a vim that made the Win
/ dows rattle.

every time he opened his mouth he put
his foot in it.
A number of other comrades were
called on and responded, and the as

CONCERNING SCOTTISH TRAITS.
Light and Pleasant Talk About Scotch
men and Their PecuIarites.
Rev. Robert Mackenzie Chats With an
Audience on That Subiect-Where-
in Scotchmen Are Peculiar.

Before a large audience at the Con-
gregational Church last evening, I'M
der the auspices of the Teachers In
stitute, Rev. Robert Mackenzie of San
Francisco talked of Scottish Traits"
1t was pleasant, witty anecdotal de-
livery of rather light character, with
very little if any of profound consldera-
ton or impressiveness. Rev. Mr.. Mac
KenZie is among the brainiest of the
California clergy. He is a profound
thinker and a man of broad observa-
ton, much travel and scholarly culture
He is capable of giving a lecture far
above that of last night in entertaining
character and thoughtful quality. AS
he has lectured here before, perhaps
more was expected of him than he had
promised to give However that may
be- Mr. Mackenzie was not last evening
up to the standard he has set for him
self in the estimation of his many ad-
mirerS here.
That much is due him to say, since
to commend his effort of last evening as
brilliant or level with his capacity
would be to pay him no compliment,
nor to rightly estimate the intelligence
of his auditors. In fact he disclalmed
doing more than talking OF his ma
tive land.
But that is not to say that it was
not a pleasant hour of anecdotal chat
which amused and entertained in
degree that called for but little mental
effort on the part of the auditors.
Probably there were none who regret
ted having attended. He started with
rather too much of introduction and
was quite fifteen minutes getting down
to consideration of marked peculiaritles
OF Scottish character Any treatment
of ScOtchmen he insisted must be much
that we would give the emblem OF Scot
land, the thistle, since its language Is,
mo one can injure me with lmpun-
ity.' His was therefore, he SAID,
thorny subject that must be handled
with gloves.
AS to the antiquity of Scotland there
was much to be said. AS to himself, as
representing Scottish nativity, there
might be written upon his back, L have
been six hundred years a Scotchman,
but in Scotland he'd not be considered
much of a Scotchman, as that IS too
short a time for the claim. The real
Scotchman had been such thousand
years or more. ModeSty, he added, pre-
vented him tracing his own relation to
Scotlands history, since modesty is
the first marked trait of Scottish char
acter The second trait is that which
marks the Scotch character as unique
English character is composite, the
Briton, the Dane, the Saxon, the Nor
mantle best blood and characters
tics of Northern Europe enter into it,
making the English the great conquer
ing and civilizing people of the globe.
Here he turned aside for a moment to
pay a fine tribute, one distinctly elo-
Quent to the American character form

teristics of the worlds characters, to be

When Arrested Connors Wanted to
Butt His Brains Out.
Yesterday afternoon an opium feud
named George Connors entered the front
part of the house of Theodore Schu
mack er, at Twenty seventh and n streets,
and was discovered and arrested by
Schumacker's son. AS the father thought
nothing had been taken, he let him 60,
but discovering afterwards that two
overcoats had been taken, he pursued
and caught Connors near the north levee.
He brought him over and put him on q
street car in order to take him TO the City
Jail, when Connors showed fight and at
tempted to butt out his brains against
the side of the car. Officer Hayes, seeing
the trouble jumped aboard and put the
handouts on him and told Schumacher
to let him butt ii he wanted to. but after
knocking his head against post couple
OF times, Connors desisted and was
brought down and lodged in jail. The
two overcoats were recovered, as we'll as
pair of scissors, couple Of raZors and
clipper, which were found in his pockets.

KNIGHTS of Labor.

1t was natural that the Knights Of Labor
should bring their national assembly this
year to Washington since they have wisely
selected this city for national headquarters
and have erected an Office building here.
This organization is large in membership
and the deliberations of the present assem-
blage, which began Its sessions today. may
have important results. While the operation
of it's constitution makes its central repre-
sentative organization a comparatively
small body 1t reflects the wishes Of great
army of workingmen in every part of the
country and the action of such an important
gathering may bear directly upon the inter
ests Of the laboring classes Of the nation
Washington will doubtless some day enjoy
the distinction of being the scene Of every
such gathering Of this organization as Its
me mbers are looking more and more to ma
tional legislation and realize that to this END
their best energies should be expended at the
seat Of government.

can. without much difficulty, discriminate
between the reckiessness Of pedestrians and
Of drivers. and a few prosecutions under
we'll considered regulation might result
favorably and reduce the danger. There
are certain crossings in the city that are
exceptionally risky. and at these no vehicle
should be permitted to be driven at
greater pace than a walk. In a majority OF
cases where pedestrians are struck by car
riages or wagons. 1t is the result OF too
much speed on the part Of the offending We
h cle and of too exact!ng a requirement on
the pedestrian to watch his course over a
ttickly populated thoroughfare where the
danger comes from several directions at
once. The burden of precaution should rest
with the driver at these dangerous points
but the pedestrian should be made to bear mis-
share of the charge at all other places than
at actual street crossings. and it ought to be
made plain by regulation that the pedes-
TRAN leaving the curb to cross the street at
a place other than the intersection Of two
streets becomes responsible for his own
safety.
