AFTER POLICE UNIFORMS.
The Manufacturers Association Want Home
Made Goods Used.

The Manufacturers Association Want Home
Made Goods Used.
The Manufacturers and Producers As
ISOLATION have enough work mapped out
to keep the officers of the organization on
the 60 for some time.
To-day at P NJ the board of directors
will meet, and, from the condition of the
secretary's clip yesterday, there will be a
busy season, the result of which will bring
about benefit to the entire State.
Early in the week Julian Sonntag, Oscar
Lewis and W. S. Lacy, representing the
Manufacturers Association went to Stock
ton and held consultation with the di-
rectors and members of the merchants of
that city. 1t was practically agreed that
the Stockton organization shall become a
branch of the State organization with
headquarters in San Francisco.
One important matter that will be
brought before the association to-day is
the fact that the police officers of San
Francisco are clothed in imported goods
by order of the department, in preference
to home-manufactured material.
A statement was made to Secretary
Mead by several merchants YESTERDAY that
an order had been issued by Chief Crowley
that all uniforms must be made of French
beaver cloth or what is known to the trade
as beaver. This, the complaintants say,
is one of the worst steps that could possibly
be taken to retard the patronage of home
industry.
One of the merchants who brought the
matter to the attention of the organization
said
San Francisco is the only big City in the
United States where the police force is clothed
in foregn-made goods. Our firm can furnish
the cloth as well any other house, but the
pal department of San Francisco should
be the first to patronize home industry and, if
the quality of goods desired could not be OBJ
tanned in California, to order from any other
American city.
This principle has not been considered in the
selection of cloth for the uniforms of the Police
Department The officials have not asked for
samples, as they should have done. San Fran
cisco could furnish all the cloth required if
given a chance. l have been dealing in cloth
Tor years and know that a better quality can be
produced in the United States than anywhere
else, both as regards texture and color, but
with these facts staring them in the face the
police officials of San Francisco order the men
to have their clothing made from French goods.
Secretary Mead of the Manufacturers
Association looks upon the complaint as
serious matter. He said:
The facts of the case are so plain that it is
wonder officials would take such q step. The
matter will be laid before the board Of direc-

THE TRADE OF CHURCHES.
Unitarians Willing to Swap Houses of
Worship With the Emmanuel
Congregation.

No definite action was taken as to its
plans for the future by the Emmanuel
Baptist Church congregation at its meet
ing last night in the lecture-room of the
Grace Methodist Episcopal Church, corner
OF Twenty first and Capp streets. 1t will
continue to avail itself for an indefinite
time of Pastor E. McClishs tender OF
Grace Church for its Sunday services until
it decides whether to return to the Bart
1ett-street place of worship or not.
An offer has been made by Rev. Leslie
W. Sprague, pastor of the Second Uni
tartan Church. corner of Twentieth and
Capp streets, to exchange churches. Ed
m und Worth, who IS prominent member
of the Emmanuel Church, said last night
that it was very improbable that any such
trade would be made.
81 have been told" he said, THAT such
a proposition has been made to one of our
members but don't think it will ever be
brought to the notice of the congregation.
Personally, it would not be Objectionable
to me, for there are many reasons in it's
favor, but think you can set it down as
merely rumor. AT any rate, we shall not
take any action on anything for quite a
while yet. Many of the member of the
board are not here and Mr.. Gibson, our
pastor, is at present visiting his sister at
Chico. We will simply continue to hold
our services in Grace Church until we
make up our minds as to what we finally
will do.
81 really don't think that the Bartlett
street church should be affected in any
way by the fact that it has had the mis-
fortune of having had crimes committed
in it any more than house should lose its
fitness for home because made the scene
of tragedy. But ! simply cannot say
what will be done. 1t lies entirely with
the congregation.
A reason for the proposed exchange OF
church buildings is said to exist in the
fact that the Bartlett-street building is too
large for the Emmanuel congregation,
while the Unitarian editice is too small for
its worshipers. Besides, it is stated that
the BartIett-street edifice is not really
convenient to its present owners, many OF
the members living at some distance, and
very few, if any, residing near by.

1t was 'ladies' night IN the Young

without the saying. The programme was

HOME MISSIONARY WORK.
Annual Meeting of the WOman's SOci-
ETY. of the Methodist Episco-
pal Church.

How great an interest is taken in the
work of the Woman's Home Missionary
Society of the Methodist Episcopal church
is shown by the fact that the annual meet
ing of the San Francisco district of that
organization, held in Simpson Memorial
Church yesterday, was attended by fifty
delegates representing the following
churches: First and Centella of San Jose,
Santa Cruz of Santa Cruz, Pacific Grove of
Monterey, Gilroy of Gilroy, and Central,

In the afternoon Mrs. Nj. H. Gray read a
paper on California as a Mission Field. I"
The reading was followed by interesting
exercises by the children of the Mission
school. Mrs. Benson, who is herself a
deacon, spoke on "Deaconess Work" Mrs.
/. 2. Williams treated OF an Oriental Bu-
reau. beginning at Jerusalem" and Mrs.
H. q. Jones made suggestions as to what
more can be done to awaken interest in
our work?" Each of the last three subjects
came in for considerable interesting and
profitable discussion.
After a solo by Miss Addie Mahan, Mrs.
L. NJ. Carver spoke of Results Already
Attained" and Mrs. w. S. Urmy of "Fron-
tier Work in California"
Then came the election OF officers, which
resulted as follows: President, Mrs. Il. Z.

The Nephew of the Empress of

Prince Franz Josef of Battenberg came
on the Mariposa yesterday from the
Hawaiian Islands on his trip around the
world, accompanied only by Colonel
Townshend of the British army and a
valet. The Prince put up at the Occidental
Hotel and in the afternoon took demo-
cratic ride on the cable-cars and in the
evening paid visit to Chinatown. He is
a courteous, affable young man of very
pleasant and unassuming manners. He is
rather good-looking, wears full dark
brown beard, and is nearly feet tall.
Prince Franz Josef is the youngest of
the five children of Prince Alexander of

Gales are the only promenade concerts in
San Francisco, and as such seem to be
thoroughly appreciated. The lighting per-
mits people to enjoy the pictures almost as
well as by daylight, better indeed in some
parts of the building. The concert, as
usual, was under the direction of Henry
Heyman, who contributed also to the en-
tertainment by playing a violin solo, a
cavatina by Hans Slit. Miss Pearl Noble
played two cornet solos, as well as an
encore, and two amateur vocalists, Miss
Alice Brannan and Albert c. Hooper, were
also applauded.

tors Tomorrow for action. Here we come in
contact with the very element we are supposed
to work with in harmony The City officials,
above all others, leaving patriotism out of the
question, should have the object OF home in
dustry at heart but instead OF that they must
go all the way to France to get cloth for police
mems uniforms. There will be an earnest pro-
test entered by the association, and believe
now that the fact has come 10 light, that there
will be some radical steps taken.
Captain Lees, when asked about the
issuance OF the order, said:
The men can buy whatever cloth they please.
Fatigue uniforms are made of French beaver,
1t is true. but no order was ever issued from
this office regarding the kind of cloth the men
should have their uniforms made from.
don't care what the Manufacturers Associa-
ton says about it, the men are going to buy
the best cloth they can get and the French is
the best
Captain Healey toook slightly different
view of the subject and said:
The same complaint was made regarding
buttons and helmets and yet when an offer
was made to purchase buttons from local firms
orders on Waterbury firm were rendered by
local merchants Now as to the cloth. Some sew
enteen years ago the Mission Wooden Mills were
started. They turned out cloth which was
supposed to equal the French goods, but it
didn't, and the men would not buy it. A year
ago the French goods were selected the
standard and have been used by the department
ever since.

The Shenandoah County FAR,

The Shenandoah County Fair passed
off very pleasantly last week. The crowd
in attendance was not so large as usual,
which can be accounted for, in a great
measure, by the fact that our farmers
were unusually busy, the weather having
prevented earlier seeding. The Fair
was a good one. The racing was fully up
to the high standard of ths Shenandoah
County Fair, and was as good as is ever
seen at Virginia Fair. The exhibition Of
Hal Pointer who reduced the record of
the track to 215 was worth gong
miles to see. The stock exhibit was not
large. Hambleton's fine herd of Jerseys
was the principal feature, in the cattle
department, she hogs aud chickens were
unusually good. The display OF sheep
was poor. The ladies' department was,
as is usual in Shenandoah, fine, much
better thap that Of any fair in the Val
ley. The same may be said about the
fruit exhibit, bat the agricultural de-
psrtment, to the surprise Of overy one
was unusually poor. Whether it was be-
cause our farmers thought that every one
else would make fine exhibit. or from a
lack of interest, we can not say, but We
can say that, in the midst of an abundance
of everything, our farmers made the
poorest display ever made at a Shenan
doah County Fair.
The exhibitions of Or. Hollingswortb,
in breaking wild and kicking colts was
very entertaining, and demonstrated the
fact that Dr.. H. fully understood the
business.
Nr. j. B. Keller received from the
Stone wall Band. the following:
