His Name Is William Thude, but Nobody
Claims Him and He Knows Nothing
of Home.

There is boy out at the Youths Direc-
tory on Howard street who is nobody s
child, who came from nowhere in par
ticular, save that ambiguous other world,
''the streets" and whose past is complete
blank. In fact this unfortunate lad has no
notion whatever of home or kirsfolk; nor
has ANYBODY sought him out-no anxious
father or mother to take him with them
from the institution.
And yet the little fellow is brighter than
the average boy of his years. He can talk
two languages, German being the mother
tongue with him, and the English one
that came year or two later. He has a
sharp eye and manly little face and
appears to take all that has come to him
of late as a matter of course. But more
than his own name and his fathers he
knows nothing that would offer q clew tc
his identity. In the institution he is about
TO become one of the unknown of his
class-the tiny waits found on the streets
who grow up to be men without history
and without kin in the world.
The Directory register shows that his
name is William Thude and his age s
wears. The lad stated that his fathers
name was Otto Thude and that he had
lived somewhere in San Francisco, he
thought he lived in the Mission and he
knew Mission street.

Crowley, the director. LAS a rule when a

The local team has expressed the opin-

fierce, even contest.
There is likely to be some change in the

4 BUILDING TRADES UNION.
Strong Central Organization to Be
Formed Next Week.

A Strong Central Organization to Be
Formed Next Week.
After many years and many efforts there
will soon be building trades union in San
Francisco. Heretofore each union has
operated separately. and any troubles
arising have been fought out by the union
involved without help or practical support
from it's brother unions.
Finally a few holder spirits in the several
building trades openly advocated central
union and the matter was agitated until
committees from each union were ap-
pointed to discuss the advisability of such
a move. These committees have been
holding conferences for the past month or
more. At last the die was cast and a cen
trail union will be the result.
The committees secretary, Mr.. Rose,
who is the president of the Painters and
Decorators Union, has sent out cards call
ing for meeting of all of the committees,
which will be held in the Turk-street Tenn
pie on the evening of the 28thlinst. These
committees represent the four Carpenters
and Joiners' Unions, the Carpenters Dis
trict Council, bricklayers. painters and
decorators, plumbers, plasterers. metal
cornice workers, granlte-cutters, sand
stone-cutters and the hodcarriers' and la
borers' unions.

The executive committee for the Italian
celebration of the Goth of September has
held its final meeting, and President g.
Calegaris has been presented with medal
by his grateful colleagues.
At this final meeting, which occurred
Thursday, the president announced that
the surplus amounted to $500. 1t was re-
solved to hand half this amount over tc
the trustees Of the Italian school, and to
deposit the other half with the Italian
Consul for the poor of the colony.
After the meeting f. Cavagnaro com
plimented President Calegaris on his able
work for the celebration, and in the name
of his colleagues presented him with a
handsome medal of chiseled gold, as q
souvenir of the celebration, and as an ex-
preston of esteem. The medal bears on
one side beautiful bas-relief of a figure
categorical of Rome, with the legendary
wolf; beneath it are the words: Roma
Intangible; a Roma CT siamo CT roster

inscription: "The executive committee for

The sportsmen of Visalia are preparing
for jolly time on Thanksgiving day. as
will be seen by the following letter to THE

Several local wheelmen intend accepting
invitations to participate in parade and
runs at elsfield Thanksgiving day.
Portervile will send its nine down to

THE OARSMEN.
New Boats and Clubhouses That
Are Being Built for the SCullers.

Are Being Built for the Scullers.
All the lighthouses are being renovated
both inside and out, boats are undergoing
repairs and many orders have been given
the local boat-builders for new boats, as
the present equipment is inadequate to
the demand of the members.
The South End boathouse has been
newly painted, and large crayon pictures
of the crews who took part in the regatta
at Long Bridge on May 80 will embellish
the already well fitted up apartments.
The club will soon hold high jinks, and
a feature of the day will be the four Dared
barge race, which is now being arranged
between attaches of the County Clerk S
and Sheriff S offices.
The County Clerks are enthusiastic over
the matter. County Clerk Curry and
Deputies Oscar Lewis and Charlie Long
are already members of the South Ends
and clever oarsmen, too.
Enough new members have been taken
into the club lately to almost form a new
organization. The mem bership of the club
is now $50.
The new mem bers initiated last meeting
were: R. V. Curtis, James P. O'Day, J. j.
Foley. Frank Tobin ana William McCaus-
land; and those proposed for mem bership
were: William Brown, Thomas f. Drumm,
George F. McGinn, Vincent Dolan, Ber-
nard J. Hyland, w. d. Finn, A. J. Ken
nedy and James Palas.
The South Ends will soon let contract
for three outrigger skiffs of the latest
model, and it is thought that several
sngle-scullers will be developed through
the use of these boats, as they are built on
the lines of shell and will afford scullers
every opportunity OF learning the art of
single sculling.
James w. Pembroke of the Alameda
Boat Club and champion outrigger skiff
rover of the coast will be challenged to
row for the championship by South End
oarsman as soon as the club receives its
skiffs.
The South Ends now hold the cham
pionship in everything except in the out
rigger skiffs. and they claim to have a
man who will prove an invincible at skiff
rowing.
The medals received at the Olympic
Club the other evening by the vlctors OF
the Sacramento regatta OF September
are considered the finest ever given the
oarsmen, and the rowers say II such
medals will be given in the future they
will not hesitate to enter race
Heretofore the medals given in the
majority of instances were not worth
wearing.
The Ariel Rowing Club will give an en-
tertainment and dance on Friday evening,
Decem Der 3. at Union-square Hall.
An elaborate vaudeville, musical and
dramatic programme has been arranged,
and a number of professional as well as
the best amateur talent in the City have
volunteered their services.
The Ariel Club has mem bership unique
IL its personnel.
Billy Welsh, the only man who ever de-
feated Corbett, is member of the club, as
is also Thomas Geary, the Congressman;
Joe Choynski, the pugilist; Henry Peter
son, the oarsman, and Harry F. Terrill the
world-renowned bicycle rider.
