the last time she was here. There will be
no scoffing at the homeless poor and every
woman who wants shelter will be given it
regardless of her birth, creed or station"
Thus spoke Ensign j. r. McFee, who is at
the head of the charita bic work of the
Salvation Army.
with u.s." he cont nued, sit is always
thanksgiving, and we do the best, with the
assistance of our Father, that it IS possible
for us to do, at all tim es, regardless of the
occasion. Our work is our creed and the
effect is our reward. For the last four
years we have fed the hungry and warmed
the cold in every way we could. Whether
it be Christmas, New Years or Thanks
giving our efforts to help the distressed
have always been the same, and we have
had the extreme pleasure of seeing a
gradual improvement in our attempts to
be of some service in this great world OF
both pleasure and woe.
"Our first dinner, given when the army
was struggling with the public disapproval
that seemed 10 be its lot, was held in the
old Adelphi Theater, and two hundred
and fifty of our own people sat down to
Thanksgiving turkey. We had at that
time but three corps in the City, and the
plan of salvation was in the first stages of
its creation, so far as its growth was con-
cerned in San Francisco. Our work, how
ever, was beginning to tell and the oppor-
tunities to show the depth of our sincerity
became more abundant daily. Gradually
we were accommodating recruits, and for this
we were thankful.
"At the beginning of the next year we
moved into our new quarters on Market
street and gave another free dinner to the
members of the army and its friends, on
which occasion we fed five hundred people,

How the Work of Charity Was Con-
tinued the Whole Year.

about this time" resumed the ensign,
1.-THE City contained a great many poor
families, whose suffering had to be light
ened in some way so we took it upon our
selves 20 carry them through the winter,
and we succeeded in doing it. We kept
them in clothing and provisions until the
warm weather came and they were able to
go cut and look for work.
"When the Midwinter Fair broke up and
great many unemployed men were left
here in absolute want we furnished 400 of
them with two meals day and the City
turned over the old Hall of Records of the
old City Hall for them to sleep in. We
were paid 121I cents for each man, and
with the assistance given us by charitable
people we managed to keep them fed with
wholesome food. We considered that oc-
casion worth great deal to us, as it
showed that we were willing to give up all
our time to the care OF those in need.
Christmas of the same year General Booth,
the founder of the army, was here, and we
were very busy holding meetings all over
the State. However. on the day of New
Year, we gave turkey dinner to 1900 poor
men with money amounting to $500, given
paid some rents of poor families and
bought some needed clothing.
"In 1895 Andrew ]. Moulder, the late
Superintendent of the Public Schools, sug-
gested to the school children that they
contribute something to the poor, and
straightway they made up purse of 5000
and sent an immense amount of stuff for
general distribution. We received twenty
tons of coal, fourteen tons of -four, eighteen
tons of potatoes and other staple articles
in proportion. This was big occasion
and filed us with satisfaction. 1t was
Thanksgiving with us for our opportunity
to do good, and it will always be SO.
''On this Thanksgiving the churches and
the missions are conducting the feasts and
good works while we are preparing for the
big Christmas distribution. We expect to
give a free dinner to about 5000 people and
spread presents of some kind among as
many children.
THE women's shelter will be opened on
that occasion and in compliance with a
request of Mrs. Booth its doors win never
be closed from the first day they are
opened by the army. Day and night they

of conducting this institution in a satisfac-
tory way we are constantly giving thanks
With us no period of the year should be
free from thanksgiving and to Him who
has made our work possible we owe an
eternal debt of gratitude. Tomorrow we
will have special services all over the City
and it will be known among us as Holy
Day. Yes, we have much to be thankful
/ for, and before our Creator we are, to the

still better circumstances, and the poor of
the City were given free turkey dinner.
1t was the first free dinner of the kind ever
given in the United States under the super
vision of the soldiers. AT that repast 1900
people were led most excellent meal. The
good people who were in sympathy with
our work assisted US in providing the food,
and it became evident that our efforts to
do something good were appreciated. For
this also we were thankful.
Christmas day of the year 1892 we
opened the Lifeboat, and through the kind
ness Of the populace and the will of our
Father we fed LOO mouths. The unem-
ployed from all over the City came to our
gates and none were turned away hungry.
The approval for which we had worked so
long and earnestly was beginning to ap-
pear, and we received donations from diff
ferent charitably disposed people through

Her Action for a Divorce the
Probable Cause of the :
Tragedy.
ONCE A NOTED sPECULATOR.
The Suicide Famed as the Man Who
Attempted to Corner the Lard
of the Country.

MILWAUKEE,. Wis, Nov. H.-Peter
McGeogh, who lives opposite the Soldiers
Home IN an elegant mansion, ordered his
carriage to go to the city at 1880 o'clock
this morning and then went upstairs. He
was not seen alive after that. AS he did
not appear the servants became alarmed
and instituted search for him. Miss
Annie Beese, who has been a servant in
the house for about year, looked through
the keyhole of the bathroom door, which
was locked, and saw McGeogh lying on the
floor with 3S-caliber revolver in his hand.
He had shot himself through the mouth
and death was presumably instantaneous.
The servant Immediately notified Major
W. w. Rowley of the Soldiers Home and
an intimate acquaintance of McGeogh,
who Immediately sent for his son Arthur,
who resides in the city.
When found McGeogh had on his bust
ness suit and was apparently ready to
start for the city. The servants noticed
nothing peculiar about his actions at break
fast time.
McGeogh's suicide is believed to have
been the result of divorce proceedings be-
gun last Monday by Mrs. McGeogh on the
S1Ou1lN VI patiUiIiby vi tClhpOA.
Mr.. McGeogh is well known in Chicago
and is counted among Milwaukee's mil
lionalres. Mrs. McGeogh was Mrs. Libbey
of Kenwood suburb of Chicago, when
she met McGeogh. They were married
about eight years ago at the Leland Hotel
in Chicago. Since their marriage they
have lived at the acknowledgements home
stead of McGeough while in this city.
Mrs. McGeogh had daughter when she
married McGeogh, and tie daughter has
made her home with her brother. Nc
Geogh had three children, a son and two
daughters. who after his marriage, occu-
pied house on Grand avenue which their
father provided. Since Mrs. McGeogh lett,
one of the daughters, it is understood, has
been keeping house for her father.
No man was for years better known on
the Chicago and Milwaukee Boards of
Trade than Peter McGeogh. He was a
caring Spectator up to the disastrous lard
deal of 1885, when he attempted to corner
the lard of the country, which scheme
failed. Daniel Wells Jr. of Milwaukee
was interested with him in the deal and q
long, acrimonious lawsuit followed.

refined home. There is nothing the mat
ter with those young men except that they
are away from home. They get along with
degree of comfort until the holidays ar
rive. Then the almost intolerable sensa-
ton they never analyze-for they would
think it unmanly to call it loneliness and
worse to pronounce it inconsistencies takes
possession Of them. Holidays are either
the most Joyous or the most joyless of
days.
The promoters of the Young men
Christian Association know this and they
don't want the boys to sigh Tor the social
atmosphere and the more tangible GOOD
things of the home back in the States. so
they have called the Ladies Auxiliary to
their aid, and Thanksgiving cheer is pro-
vided for them in the big dining-room on
the top floor of the home for homeless
boys on Mason street.
They could get equally good dinners,
perhaps, at one of the swell cafes, out they
would not have the coveted flavor OF
"home cooking" which the busy ladies' OF
the auxiliary convey to the products OF
their range.
Mr.. Mccoy, the secretary, donated the

the FEAST but all the rest comes from home
1arders. There will be music and speeches,
and the festivities will begin at O'Clock
and extend far into the afternoon.
The ladies of the auxiliary will act as
mattresses and will be out in force to at
tend to their allotted tasks at the tables,
which are extremely inviting with their
silver and snowy linen and feathery
masses of sunny chrysanthemums. And
the charm of 1t all will be that the young
man are guests. There will be none of
the commercial smack about the feast
furnished by waiter with checkbook in
hand and tip in eye. If the young men do
not feel that they are at home-a home on
a somewhat extended scale-it will not be
the fault of the ladies.
