Oakland. Several comrades from Lincoln
Pest, among them H. c. Dibble and G.:

General Barnes spoke of Grant, and
spoke in an interesting and instructive
style. 1t is the fancy of the eloquent
orator to address the Post occasionally
taking for the topic of bis talk, Lincoln.
Grant or some other conspicuous figure in
National history. Last evening he spoke
OF Grant on the Pacific, and the discourse
was rendered interesting in a remarkable
degree by the recital of some incidents and
events in the life of the great leader that
have never been published. He traced the
fortunes OF the illustrious soldier from the
time that he was poor and almost friend
less In oregon, until he had achieved the
greatest honors that this country can
bestow upon a citizen or soldier.
The orator paid an eloquent tribute to
the modest worth and simplicity of Grant.
reference was made to the fact that
general Grant when in the zenith of his
fame, remembered gentleman, now a
resident OF California, who had long years
before rendered him service when he was
IN great distress and almost on the verge
of despair.
Grants mastery qualities of leader
snip In action and his attribute of gener-
oslty to the vanquished when the conflict
was done were eulogized. 1t was obvious
10 all who had the pleasure of listening to
the talk that General Barnes had made a
special and careful study of Grant as a
citizen, as soldier and as President of
the United States. He expressed the idea
mat men would be better in citizenship if
tney would study the character and career
OF such american citizens as Lincoln and
for such study.
Inc address elected the heartest APP
pause and the orator received unani-
nous vote of thanks from the assem- bled
comrades.

Frank j. Murasky, the popular ex-
grand president of the Young Mems Insti-

was large.

the socialist paper, The People of New
York, an Address to American Wage
workers. which was cordially received.
The warmest applause, however, greeted
Mr.. Murasky as he stepped to the front in
! response to very fattering introduction
bv Henry Warnecke, the president of the
evening.
Mr.. Murasky reviewed the existing con-
ditions of human society, dwelling upon
the injustices which some sections of the
body polite are now Obliged to endure.
By way OF a contrast he presented a
glowing word picture of the advantages
which belong to the ideal sociaiistic state.
He gave copious and telling quotations
from Emerson, Howells and other famous
English and American writer's in support
of his contention that in socialism can be
found the remedy for existing political
evils.
Continuing, the lecturer referred to the
degrading conditions imposed by society
upon the worlds toilers, instancing The
forlorn state OF the diamond miners in
South Africa.
Many men, he said, regarded socialism
as an economic heresy, but others-among
whom was a millionaire friend of his.

socialism pure and simple. Were he pres
ent on the earth In human form to-day he
would preach it again. For my own part
pelleye that socialism is true and its
principles irrefragable."
Amid much cheering and applause the

nous vote OF thanks, after which brief
remarks were made by James Andrew. the
Socialist candidate for Lieutenant-Goy-

St. Mary's and st. Ignatius College

What promises to be the most interest
ing event of the season in intercollegiate
baseball circles is the st. Mary-St. Ignatius
game, which is to take place at the Pre-
sidio athletic grounds Sunday, September
6, at 2:30 P. NJ.
These teams were rivals in the California
intercollegiate League of the Midwlnter
Fair, and in the several games played by
them at that time gave the prettiest exhi-
billions of amateur ball ever witnessed on a
local diamond. As they are very evenly
matched, both in the field and at the bat, u
red-hot contest will surely result.
Sundays game, whatever the result,
will in all probability be but the first of a
series of three, all of which will be played in
this City.
Already over 1900 tickets have been sold
for the first game, and requests that GER
