be established. There are already ten
such stations here, besides ten slum
posts. With the whole city subdivided
and male and female sergeant at each
station, the soldiers will keep a sharp
outlook for drunkards in their re-
spective districts, and when one is
sighted the Salvation Army patrol wag-
on will be sent for and the unfortunate
individal, unless he demonstrates, will
be tenderly cared for at a rescue home.
It is also proposed to provide wagon
especially for hayward girls. This will
patrol the "tenderloin district" and be
driven by one of the League Love"
women. When hayward girl is found
who will permit the league to help her
she will receive the needed help and adj
vice.
Just one thing is needed to carry out
these schemes, and that is money.
Brigadier Cezzens will soon appeal to
the public for financial assistance, in
order that he may take up the many
lines of work which he has in mind.
The brigadier, says the Boston Her
aid, has just returned from the eleventh
annual camp meeting of the Salvation
Army at Old Orchard, where he says
1875 souls were converted. He is great
believer in tent meetings, and has a
large canvas structure, capable of seat
ing 1000 or more people, which he is
sending about in charge of army work
ers Indifferent cities and towns in east
ern Massachusetts,. The meetings held
under the canvas have thus far proved
successful.

A CHRISTMAS TIP.

The thousands of Texans who came
from the South Atlantic states find
much pleasure in reverting to the hap
py days of long ago when they were
children, and often they awake at
night to recall those scenes of yore,
which gave to life charm, and which
now come in later years as visions Of
Joy. There is a tender spot in ev-
cry heart for the old home, and the
memories which cluster about the
dear old spot are solaces in the weary
weary struggle we make day by day
to build in our new Eldorado a home
to which our children in future time
will turn, as we turn now to the old
place where our loved ones in the ev-
ening of life await the final summons.
The Texas & Pacific railway COM
pany again offers you the opportunity
to go back to the old home. Round
trip excursion tickets will be on sale
from all points on the system on Dec.
21st and 22nd, 1896, to points in the
southeastern states, at one fare for
the round trip, tickets good thirty

SALVATION ON WHEELS.
Bicycle Corps Of the Army Just
Organized at Boston.
Commander Booth fuckers Example to
Be Followed by Brigadier Cozzens-
BIoomers and Golf Hose
Will BE Barred.

Individual members of the Salvation
Army have long been ardent devotees
of the wheel, but ere long the good peo-
pie of Boston may see an entire corps
dressed in the conspicuous garb of the
army pedaling through our streets on
the Lords business.
Brigadier Cozzens is an enthusiastic
wheelman, and his wife, although not
now the possessor of silent steed, will
be one of the riders of the future. Many
of the staff officers attached TO the Sal
walton Army headquarters are also
wheelmen and are often seen on the
boulevard.
Already Commander Booth Tucker
has organized a bicycle corps, which is
expected to make fierce onslaughts
upon the ranks of Wicket Gothamites
and the energetic new commander of
the New England division proposes to
emulate him. Not only will the bicycle
be utilized for locomotion, but Brig.
Cozzens proposes that the two wheels
shall contain fitting inscriptions and
notices which will revolve when the
wheel is being used.
Staff officers and delegates already
find that in visiting distant corps the
use of the bicycle saves railroad fares.
and this, in addition to the healthful
recreation which it affords, has led to
its popularity in the army.
Those who look for boomers or short
skirts on Salvation Army lasses are
doomed to be disappointed, for, al
though they have as rule no scruples
against riding, neither their modesty
nor any regulations would permit the
use of any abbreviated garment or the
introduction of new womanism. The
regular long blue skirt will, therefore,
be worn by women riders of the army,
while the men must forego the use of
boomers and golf pants as well.
Brig. Cozzens has decided upon no
definite date for the first appearance of
the mounted corps.
Another novel feature which Briga-
der Cozzens has in his mind is the in
PRODUCTION of a patrol-wagon system,
which is another New York idea. To
this end the city proper is being d.
vided into districts of one square mile
each, where Salvation Army post will

Is Forninst him

CINCINNATI. o. Aprili 1c.-Judge j.
Fl. Stevens of st. Louis chairman of the
national executive committee of the A.
7. A., passed through Cincinnati to-
night enroute to Boston. Regarding
the fight the A. p. A. is making against
Mckinley Judge Stevens said:
II noticed in the Cincinnati papers
this morning what purported to be an
interview with prominent members of
the A. p. A., which in general is correct,
yet it is erroneous in some particulars.
1T is true the A. p. A. will not give to
Mckinley it's support, either for the
nomination or for the election should
he be nominated. His record is such
that no A. =. A. member who is true to
his principles can support him. Nc
Kinley has never recognized this organi-
zation.'
Judge Stevens then enumerates var
ious grievances against Mckinley,
among them the neglect of McKinley's
managers to grant an A. P. A. COM
mittee an audience in Washington on
the 9th to the 30th of last March. and
the fact that Mckinley himself left un-
answered kilograms sent by the COM
mittee to him. Judge Stevens then said:
I'VE shall fight him In convention,
and If he be nominated he cannot be
elected"
In conclusion he said:
"You may say that we are against Nc
Kinley to the last We shall support
only a positive. self assertive man who
is no straddler on any issue and is q
man of more than one idea.
From the knowledge possess of our
strength l know the A. p. A. holds the

The oIymplan Athletes

ATHENS. April 12.-The festival in
honor OF the 18th anniversary OF
the independence of Greece continues.
though most of the prominent athletic
events have been decided. A luncheon
was given at the palace today in honor
of the victOrs in the games, the guests at
which included the members of the vari-
Gus committees connected with the fes-
tlval, the correspondents of foreign
newspapers and representatives of the
local press.
After the luncheon King George toast
ed Nj. Ayeroff, the rich Alexandrian,
who made such liberal donations for the
restoration of the stadion, as well as
ether donations to the same purpose, the
Crown Prince and Princes George and
Nicholas. all of whom. his majesty said,
had worked for the success of the festi-
val. He also said he hoped. the foreign
athletes present would proclaim abroad
the success of the games and the evil
dences they had seen of Greek progress.
The chief event of the day was bicy-
Gle race from Athens to Marathon and
back. the distance being ninety kilome-
tres, which was won by Greek named
and 81 seconds.
The Greeks are much gratified at win
ming the two Marathon races. today's
bicycle race and the foot race won by
Louis from Marathon to Athens amid
such great enthusiasm. These two races

committee can complete it's work on the
bills still to be considered in three or
four weeks time, and that it is possible
for the senate to finish them by the mid
die of May. There are some who esti-
mate that it will require until the first
of June to accomplish this result. No
one puts it later.
With the appropriation bills out of the
way it will be exceedingly difficult to
hold the senate in session for any pur-
pose. Consequently the prevailing opin-
ion in the senate is that the final ad-
journment of the session will not be
postponed far beyond the beginning Of
the first of the summer months.
1t is admitted on all hands that If ad-
journment is reached as early as the
majority predict and seem to desire, a

hoped the session would dispose of, will

knowledge of America, this placed us
In most unfortunate position. He.
IN consequence, showed but little in
tereSt ana sympathy with us person
ally. He spoke no word in public in
approval of our toll, zeal or success,
and in ways We need not mention made
the visit one of the bitterest expert
ences in our lives.
SecOnd-During our experience in
America we have gradually become
convinced that the system of govern
ing the work in this country from a
foreign center by laws made by those
unaware of the needs and conditions
OF the country is neither wise nor prac-
tical. Constant friction has on this
account existed between us and the
international headquarters.
Third-Our Judgment has been forced
upon points that we do not approve, and
we have been made to feel that the gov
ernment is such SO far as we were per-
tsonally concerned that we could
not accept any command where
we should have to administer
the affairs where we our
selves could not agree with the rules it
demanded and enforced. In many ways
our authority was limited No books
could be published unless revised by
London; no prominent promotion, no
important move, even no change in de-
tail in uniform could take place under
this rule without correspondence to gain
permission.
Fourth-Thc rules and regulations
governing the army to the minutest de-
tail We're being made in England and
the commissioners of foreign commands
were obliged to enforce them, though
they had themselves in 10 wise been
consulted on the formulating of the
same. Some time previous to our orders
to say farewell, two more volumes came
to hand. Portions of these volumes we
did not approve. yet such rules and reg
ulatons we should have had to enforce
in some other countries, if not in this
one.
Fifth--F'or years we have not heen
consulted on the important moves and
innovations of the army, although SUP
posed to be two of it's prominent and
responsible officers. Great schemes in
volving large sums of money had been
formulated and launched by interna-
tional headquarters. and our first init
nation of the same was through some
publication, though, through their pol
icy. of change of commissioners, We
might in the future have the RESPONSE
bility for the vast burden of debt in

Two Men 10 Prison Now Believed to Be
Innocent

SAN FRANCISCO, April 12-There
are two men now in the state prison at
San Quentin who have spent sixteen
years behind the walls of that institu-
ton, though probably innocent of the
crime of which they were convicted
murder
The men are brothers. They are
Francisco and Jose Alviso, and were
sent from Monterey county in Decem-
ber, 1879, to serve life sentences. They
had been convicted of the murder of a
sheep owner known as dutch John" in
Chular canyon.
At the time of their arrest, the men
protested their innocence and they pro-
test it strenuously today. AS the dreary
years of their Incarceration have rolled
by confessions have been made that
make it very doubtful if the men are
guilty of the murder. Intermittent ef-
forts have been made in behalf of the
brothers, but these have been weak and
without result. Now. however, the men
have an unwavering champion in Rev.
A. brahms. chaplain of the prison To
him they told their story and he has
made an investiga ton. The result of
it is that he is firmly convinced of their
innocence and will not cease i'll his ef-
forts until he has either secured par
don or received an absolute refusal
from the chief executive.
Dutch John" disappeared from the
cabin in Chular canyon and his bones
were found in bed of charcoal. The
flesh had been burned from them.
One of the Alvisos had worked for

suspected man. The dead man, too.
had owed one of the Alvisos money.

who was FranciscO's mistress up to the
time of the arrest.
Martinez swore he had seen the AL
viso brothers burn dutch Johns
body; the woman that the brothers had
told her they had killed the man, and
Hulgero that he had heard them plot
to do the killing.
In August, 1885. Martinez was SEN
fenced to serve ten years for grand lar
ceny in the same prison that the Alvisos
were confined. He died there in Oc-
tober, 1887. Before his death he sent for
Jose Alviso. During his last moments
he confessed to Chaplain William Hill
that he had sworn falsely and did not
see the Alvsos burn the body.
Rose Smith, Chaplain DRAINS sister,
was in love, at the time of Francisco's
arrest, with a man named Francisco
Blanco. AS soon as the former was ar
rested she took up with the latter and is
living with him yet.
Hulgero is still living at Salinas.
A year ago, Chaplain brahms says,
Hulgero made an affidavit before
notary public that he had sworn false
ly against the Alviso brothers. He was
not arrested. This affidavit and Mar
tinez's confession went to Sacramento.
The brothers are patient and hopeful.
They believe they will yet be released.

The Porfe,a Rights

WASHINGTON, April 12.--The Turk
ish legation has received from the sub
lime porte, under yesterdays date, the
following cablegram: "It has been
falsely stated that the missionaries
would be expelled. Tie imperial gov
ernment has not taken and does not
intend to take any central measure of
expulsion of missionaries and Catholic
priests. Those among them who attend
peacefully to their business are not and
will not be disturbed. But, surely, it
cannot be the same for those who by
their attitude, try to disturb the order
and tranquility of the country and place
themselves in open hostility to the laws
and regulations in force in the empire.
The imperial government, watchful of
the maintenance of public security. has
the duty to send them away from its
territory and in so doing it avails itself
of a right which in all justice nobody
could contest.
