FEW MORE TOYS ARE NEEDED.
Hardly Enough Yet for the Salvation
Army'S Little Ones.
a Bountiful Christmas in Store for
the Poor of the City To-
Morrow.

A large force of Salvation Army SOL
diers were hard at work all day yester-
day making up bundles of nice new
shoes, underwear, suits and dresses for
the free Christmas tree.
Beside the hearty response to the ap-
peals for cash, large quantities of good
clothing and provisions are continually
coming in, so it will be possible, beside
providing clothing for the needy chill
dren, to supply the older members of
distressed families with some wearing
apparel, and also in a few extreme
cases to send supplies of groceries and
provisions.
1t is the desire of the army to make
the Christmas of go a memorable one
to the poor of Sacramento, and it is to
be hoped that this practical sympathy
shown them may result in permanent
good to many. 1t should put new hope
and ambition into many now discour-
aged, and help them to rise once more
and fight the battle of life.
While it is undoubtedly true there are
many who are satisfied to remain in a
dependent condition, there are those
who, now down through misfortune, if
once helped to their feet will gladly put
forth the effort to keep there. 1t has
been the aim of the army, in the dis
tribution of the citizens Hberality, to
help those first who are willing to help
themselves.
While the registration of applications
has of necessity had to be stopped on
account of the work of preparing for the
great dinner and Christmas tree, any
extreme cases reported on good au-
thority al the office, 1115 Seventh
street, will, if possible, be attended to.
The fact that the investigate tors of the
army have so many cases on their
hands yet that they can hardly expect
to be through in time tomorrow makes
the above conditions of taking any new
ones imperative.
Preparations are we'll under way to
feed 1000 people at Smiths Hall be-
tween II and o'clock tomorrow. The
distribution of presents will commence
at s o'clock in the army citadel. This
IS a spacious hall we'll lighted and VEN
tilated, and will accommodate on an
occasion of this kind about / 900 peo-
PIE. The army's brass band Will be on
hand, and there. will be a first-class
Santa Claus.
The doors Of the citadel will be swung
open to the public, and there will doubt
less be a large crowd there TO see the
happy youngsters receive their splen-
did and useful presents.
Every child who comes, whether hav-
ing a ticket for clothing or not, viii re-
ceive a toy and box of candy and nuts
as long as the supply holds out.
There should be some more toys sent
I'm, as there is at present. shortage in
this respect.
This is the last day, so those wishing
10 help in any way must do so at once.

part of the forenoon.
The highest and lowest temperatures
one year ago yesterday were 10 and 81
degrees, with a trace of rain, and one
year ago to-day % and 81 degrees.
Last year the weather was quite cold
for a few days preceding Christmas. the
lowest temperature each morning, from
the 22d to the Goth, inclusive, was 50
degrees, or the freezing point. The
mercury on the Goth fell to 2S. or four
degrees below the freezing point, which
was the coldest day during December,

Rain IS predicted for to-day, but the

GENERAL LEE on AMERICANISM
The New Consul General Addresses
the Students at Richmond.

Richmond. Va. April 29.-(Spec'al.) Gen
eral FitZhugh Lee. the new consul general
to Cuba, tonight addressed the graduating
class of the University College of Medicine
here. Much Of this able address was de-
voted to showing the immense strides the
world had made in warfare well as in
almost every other field of science.
Touching the effects of recent wars in
this country, General Lee said. our eyes
have seen enough Of it's horrors and our
ears been filled too much with its lamenta-
ton. and yet there is an Americanism
about the southern soldier which causes
the heart to throb with patriotic emo
tons when Americas interests are at
stake or Americas honor assailed. The
policies and purposes of a united country
would be defended by him with the cour-
age for which he was greatly distinguish
ed in the past. and should hostile bay
onet. by land or by sea. be pointed at the
countrys breast three million men, IL
necessary. would sprinS to arms and to
victory. The southern, or rebel contingent
if you please. for 1 rather like the term
the sons and graudsons Of the veterans of
today. would lie found battling in the fore
most ranks, pouring out their blood for
the republic freely and as courageOusiy
as their fathers fought to make two re-
publics grow on this continent where one
grew before
Speaking of the unrest in this country
Consul General Lee said: Every thought
full observer of the public events must see
the national disquiet which has assumed
more imposing proportions than ever before
in the country's history. The United States
should not march around with chip ON
the shoulder challenging all Corners to
knock il of. The struggle that sounds
the trumpet note Of war viii be welcomed
by thousands of the unemployed. by those
who expect TO make money out Of war
and hy many who hope that amid the fire
and smoke of the carnage of bloody bat
tle'ields in some way not clearly com
pretended sonrr relief or some change
will bc made III their future conditions
The public men who make war Of words
Ioudest and fieTceSt are not the real heroes
and statesmen who should be wrapped
closest to the hearts Of the people"
General Lee Takes the Oath.
Richmond Va. April 0-General FitZ-
hugh Lee took the oath OF office and ex-
ecuted his bond as consul general to
Cuba here today.
General Lee expects TO get his final in
structions from President Cleveland either
Friday or Saturday. and it IS probable thar
he viii so to Havana next week. The
general seems to he IN excellent health
and SAYS he does not feel any uneasiness
on account of the climate of the islands.
He thinks that il he takes good care OF
