Employment Obtained by a Large
Number of Striking
Painters.
BOSSES EXPECTED TO YIELD.
The Building Trades Council Has Sc.
lected Two Temporary Bust.
ness Agents.

There were no startling developments in
the strike of the union painters yesterday.
The men were greatly encouraged upon
learning that about 100 more of their num-
Der had fonnd work with the friendly
bosses. They learned that several of the
prominent contracting painters were about
to open union shops. Every master
painter who comes into line adds to their
strength, they contend, in their fight with
their avowed enemies.
. Great preparations are being made for
the big benefit for the strikers to be given
in the Bush-street Theater next Wednes-
day evening by the theatrical profession.
Already talent enough has volunteered to
give three shows, and it is all of the first
class professional order.
There is nothing new on the masters
side OF the controversy.
At the meeting of the Building Trades
Council last evening H. NJ. Saunders of
the Carpenters ana R. T. McIvor of the
Painters unions were selected as tempo
rary business agents for all the unions in
the council. Permanent agents will be
elected on April II.

A well-Preserved Mans Story.

When Mr.. Depew sat down. amid great
applause, the health of Mr.. Robert Bonner
was drunk, and. contrary to his usual Gus
tom. the veteran ex-editor of the New
York Ledger made a short response. He
said that although public speaking was not
one of his gifts, he could not forbear from
rising and joining in the testimonials
of regard which were being presented
to his old friend and journalistic asso-
ciate, Charles A. Dana. He had known
Mr.. Dana for over forty years-for a
longer time, in fact, than Moses tar
ried in the wilderness. As he gazed upon
the editor of the Sun and observed
how bright and vigorous he was, he
could not but feel that the psalmist, in
placing the limit of human life at three
score and ten. was laying down rule to
which there were notable exceptions. "As
for myself" Mr.. Bonner added, ~ should
like to relate little incident which attests
that revised version of the psa Imist's
limit is also needed to cover my case. /
was down in Georgia not long ago, and a
gentleman to whom l was introduced said
to me: 'Mr. Bonner, are you as fond of
fine horses as your father used to be ?'"--

TWELVE YEARS OF WORK
Ladies of Lincoln Relief Corps
Celebrate Its Ami.
verSary.
Cards, Music, Dancing and a Sum ptuous
Banquet Enjoyed by Three Hun.
dred Guests.

Gray, SCARED veterans and blushing
buds of maiden love1iness waged war
over card-tables, mingled in the dance or
ioined in the pleasures of the table in
honor of Lincoln Relief Corps twelfth an
niversarv, which was commemorated last
night.
Native Sons Hall, on Mason street,
near Post, was given over to the merry
makers, who held high revelry. The meet
ing-rooms of the corps were filled with
card tables, where the more sedate eie-
ment congregated to enjoy quiet rubber,
while the devotees of the light-footed god
dess found more congenial rendezvous
in the quarters OF Lincoln Post, u. a. H.,
on the same floor.
About 800 guests were in attendance, the
ladies being beautifully gowned. while the
military portion of the male contingent
wore full-dress uniforms, putting the mere
civilian altogether in the shade.
The gathering was entirely informal,
but, perhaps for that very reason, most
enjoyable, the ladies of the corps doing all
in their power to make their guests feel at
home. About $50 o'clock sumptuous
banquet was served in one of the lower
halls, during which the following toasts
were drunk, being responded to with ap-
propriate, and in some instances very elo-
quent addresses:
Organization of Lincoln Corps" C. Mason
Kinne, past department commander.
"Grand Army of the Republic" Charles E.
Wilson, department commander: music,
'tMarching Through Georgia
"Womans Relief Corps" Mrs. Geraldine E.
Frispie, past department president
'Lincoln Post in Its Relations to the Corps"
H. ". Mortimer, post commander; music,
"Rally Round the Flag"
Lincoln Corps in Its Relations to the Post"
Mrs. L. Milne, corps president.
s'The Name HonoIed by Post and Corps
Abraham Lincoln" Hon. II. G. Dibble, past
post commander.
Music, 'Tenting Tonight"
Loyal Women During the War;" Hon. A. J.
Buckles, past department. commander.
Loyal Women Since the War;" Rev. E. r.
Ollie, past department chaplain.
Music, Johnny Comes Marching Home"
The menu was excellent and varied, and

the banquet hall, with it's hangings of
bunting and garlands OF flowers, presented
beautiful picture. The tables were ar
ranged IN the form OF a Maltese cross, that
being the shape of the badge worn by mem
bers of the corps. Mr.. Kinne presided
over the entire affair, but was heard to
remark that, the ladies having arranged
everything to work like clockwork, he had
nothing to do but look on with the guests.
Lincoln Relief Corps No. 8, w. K. c.,
was organized twelve years ago, Mr.. Kinne
installing its first officers. Since its or
ganization the corps has expended in its
charities over $6500 in money alone, be-
sides large quantities of clothing, medicine
and provisions. The dues of the members,
who now number IT'S, would not be
sufficient to enable the corps to dispense
such liberal aid to the needy, and the
necessary funds are raised by the
annual bazaar by means of whlch<the
organization is enabled to be charitable
and yet remain solvent, having at present
$1140 in its treasury. All old soldiers in
need are aided, whether members of the
Grand Army of the Republic or not. It's
present officers are Mrs. L. G. Milne, pres
ident; Mrs. Frances Williams, first vice
president: Mrs. Edith Comstock, second
vice-president; Miss Hattie Adams, secre-
tary, and Mrs. Ella Bailey, treasurer.

THE BUILDING TRADES.
The Council Selects Two Temporary
Business Agents to Look After
Union Matters.

Considerable important business was
transacted at meeting OF the Building
Trades Council last evening. The dele
gate from Carpenters and Joiners' Union
483 stated that his union had come to the
front in support of the painters strike,
and after April 1, when the working card
of the council goes into effect every job
on which non-union painters are at work
will be struck" Financial support will
be given when wanted.
Delegate Mckenzie of the Plasterers'
Union was chosen as financial secretary,
vice Hanley, who is out OF town.
Delegate II. NJ. Saunders stated that he
wished the Building Trades Council to
indorse resolution he had to present.
Ee called attention to the fact that Claus
Spreckels had recently given to the Pacific
Rolling Mills of this City the contract for
2200 tons of steel to be used in the con-
struction of the new home of THE CALL on
Market and Third streets. This is of great
importance to the workmen of this City
and to those connected with the building
trades. Mr. SprecKels has by this act
taken stand as patron OF home indus
tries and at the same time furnished
e1npIoyment for large force of working
men. BY letting this large contract to a
local manufacturer he will be the means of
distributing thousands of dollars among
the workingmen of this City. His example
should be followed by all others, Mr..
Saunders said, and added that he desired
an expression of appreciation from the
Building Trades Council and offered the
following resolution, which was enthusl-
astically adopted:
WHEREAS, The proprietor of the new CALI.
building has purchased the 22oU tons OF steel
10 be used from local manufacturer, thereby
stimulating home industry and providing en-
ployment for idle men; be 1t
Resoived, By the Building Trades Council OF
San Francisco that this action calls for the
most generous approval on our part, and we
do hereby tender oui hearty thanks to Claus
spreckels for this evidence of his public spirit,
and urge others who depend upon the public
for patronage and support to follow his ex-
ample.
Under the constitution of the council
the business agent or agents shall be Sc
lected by the several unions composing
that body at a regularly called mass-meet-

ing. So far no meeting has been called
mitted, the council selected two. who will
act from April 1 until their successors are
elected at meeting which will be held on
the morning of April IL. The business
agents elected by the council were H. M.
Saunders (the walking delegate for the
Carpenters and r. T. McIvor (who holds
a similar position in the Painters Union).
These business agents will attend to all OF
the outside business in their line for all
unions represented in the council.
The delegates were instructed 10 call the
attention OF the members of their unions
to tie big mass-meeting which will be held
at lis Turk street on the 31st inst, at
which the working card and other i'm
portant matters will be discussed.

track, commencing at IL NJ. and lasting un-
til 5 P. NJ, consisting of horse races, bicycle
races, trick-riding, bronco busting, etc.
To avoid long waits between races it has
been planned to have some event come off
every fifteen minutes.
The programme at the racetrack and at
Shell Mound will be carried out at the
same time, the hours for beginning and
closing being identical. At Shell Mound
series of games and races for valuable
prizes will occupy the hours between 2 and
5 M. Those who prefer can indulge in
dancing to fine music in the pavilion.
Bands will be stationed in the grand stand
at the racetrack in the amphitheater at
Smell Mound Park and one each in the
pavilions.
Arrangements have been made with the
railway company to run excursions from
Sacramento, San Jose and Stockton, and
1t is expected fully 5000 persons will attend
the annual celebration from those cities.
A low rate has been made, and excursion
lists will be carried to the gates of the park
without change.
A delegation from the general committee
will visit the cities named within the next
few davs to complete arrangements.

A Warlike Youth. .

According to the Philadelphia Record
the war fever has struck the schools of
Philadelphia. "The boys military organi-
cations in the public schools, it says, ''are
discussing the advisability of marching on
Spain A nine-year-old youth of one of
the uptown schools fairly exploded with
patriotism the other night. He has a set
of cards representing the flags of all
nations, and he had industriously by the
aid of colored crayons, made number Of
paper copies of the flag of Spain. Care
fully gathering up the copies he took them
down to the Kitchen and, with an air OF
determination. began throwing them one
by one into the fire. When asked what
he meant by destroying the result of his
labor he sterny replied: us boys are
going to show Spain that we amt afraid
Of her, and I'm burning up the Spanish
flag That's what I'm doing. All US boys
are going 70 burn Spanish flags Then he
solemnly loaded up his Fourth of July
pistol with caps and fired a salute in honor
of the event"
