OLD PEOPLES HOME.

Sixth Memorial Service Yesterday-Ad-
dress by Rev. II. Mackenzie, ID. ID.
The sixth annual memorial service of
the Crocker Old Peoples Home, corner of
Pierce and Pine streets, was held in the
chapel of that institution yesterday after
noon.
The large and representative congrega-
tion which crowded the interior to the
doors showed with unmstakable clearn ess
that the philanthropic object of the home
is widely recognized and appreciated
among all denominations. Many of the
City clergy were present. as also the ma
jority of the members of the board of
trustees. the board of lady managers and
the following members of the Crocker
family: Colonel Fred Crocker, Mr.. aud
Mrs George Crocker, Charles Crocker and
his mother, c. f. Crocker and Mrs. A.
Easton. The chapel was tastefully dec
grated with flowers and foiage-the gift
of numerous friends and patrons of the
institution.
The superintendent and chaplain, Rev.
Charles Mckelvey, was assisted in the
conduct of the service by Revs. s. I'll.
Wiley, DID,, o. c. Miller, ". H. More
land and Robert Mackenzie, DID.
The latter delivered the annual address,
III WHICH ue SalQ lllaG great tUlnSS per-
fected were but the aggregate of little
things, and that the Old Peoples Home
itself was the aggregate OF many Titles.
He spoke in euloglstic terms of the noble
work accomplished by the ladies associ-
ated with the home and feelingly referred
to the recent decease of its founder, Mrs.
Charles Nelson. who had acted as presi-
dent of the board of management for no
less than twenty-one years.
The chaplain supplemental the address
with a few brief remarks, mainly devoted
to the, same theme. The balance of the
afternoons programme was composed of
the following selections in addition to the
prayers and scriptural lessons of the day:
Gloria in Excelsis," choir; chant, 1.-The
Lords Prayer" bass solo, The Hills of
God" w. G. Campbell; quartet. Heaven
lv Father. Grant Thy Blessing" Misses
Florence Doane, Ivy Gardner, Mary Mann
and Isabella Van Pelt.
The vocalists, without exception, &C
quilted the mselves admirably, Mr.. Camp
BELLS bass solo and the last-named quar-
tet being especially deserving OF men ton.
II. M. Bosworth presided at the organ
and Mrs. Mariner Campbell acted as
musical directress.

1t has been decided to defer the regi-

engaged in the active work of the present
political campaign that it is not deemed
desirable TO take the regiment to the
country until elective duties are fulfilled.

Election Al fairs engross SO much OF the
time and attention of officers and enlisted
men of the National Guard that drills.
TARGET scores ~ I'd skirmIsh firing are sec
ondarv topics OF discussion. 1t is known
that the War Dep artment is soon to issue
new drill reeulatio ms, and it is said that
,nuch of the work now known as the ex-
tended order drill will be materially
changed. Therefore it is held that time
emnIoyed in drills under the existing
tactics is time wasted. Ma ny men of the
National Guard, as patriot ic citizens, be-
long to the uniformed political organiza-
tions. and as the closing we ek of the CAM
paisn will be alive with parades and
demonstrations it is proper that military
duties should be bempol arily relaxed.
This feeling is not restricted TO the Guards
men in San Francisco, but prevails
throughout the State.
