SAN DIEGO.
A Private Soldier Deserts and Leaves
Wife Behind.

SAN DIEGO, Cal, Feb. flames F.
Green, private, of company B, First in
fantry, U. S. A., deserted from the bar
racks of this city yesterday and took
steerage passage in the steamer Mex
leo last night for San Francisco. He
will be taken in custody at Port Los
Angeles this morning, and be brought
back to answer the charge of desertion
and obtaining money under false pre-
lenses. Green came from the east a few
months ago, and not long since entered
Uncle Sans employ. Green had many
friends about the city, some of whom did
not know until last night that he was
soldier. He never came up town in
uniform, but always in fine suit of
clothes, coat of the glove-fitting vari-
ETY. and trousers neatly creased. He
had a fine way about him and borrowed
money from friends, and his debts re-
main unliquidated. Ever since he join
ed the army he has posed as a married
man, and was permitted to sleep away
from the barracks. He had rooms at
S36 Columbia street, which he occupied
with a companion of the gentler sex,
and the landlady regarded the couple
as man and wife, so did the grocers and
others who have bills against Green.
1t is said he deserted his alleged wife,
as we'll as the army.

years Of age. He came to this coast
early in the sixties. He has had charge
of the government breakwater here for
the past seventeen years. He was men,

sive and solemn nature were conducted
by Rev. A. Fraser of the Presbyterian
church. after which last look upon
the face of what was all that was mortal
of a kind father and a devoted friend was

THE woRKMEN's HOTEL OPENED.
Latest Philarthropic Venture Of the
Salvation Army in New York.

The Workmens hotel the latest char
liable venture of the Salvatio army,
was formally opened by Commander
BoothTucker at 81 Bowery Friday
night. Three floors of the building at
that number have been converted into
lodging house, and by means of clean
beds, airy rooms, good service and low
rates the army hopes to win men away
from the other lodging houses ON the
Bowery and in Park row.
Similar ventures by the Salvation
army in other cities have been very sue
cessful There are now seventy eight
of them being run by the army and all
Of them have been patronized to their
utmost capacity since they started. The
new lodging house at 81 Bowery will ac-
commodate 10 persons. There are
twenty single rooms, which are models
of neatness, and 120 hunks, fitted with
leather mattresses, clean sheets, soft
pillows and warm blankets. The rates
are to be Is cents for rooms and 10 cents
for bunks which Is shade lower than
the prices charged by the average lodg-
ing house keeper. Meetings will be
held in a large meeting room in the ho-
tel every night, and while the dodgers
will not be urged to attend them they
will be invited to do SO and may suit
themselves about the matter. There
will be music every night, too, the army's
intention being to try in every possible
way to interest the patrons of the house
in other things than saloons and 21s
cent pool rooms.
Guests were not received at the hotel
that night. Had they been the place
would probably have been filled, as there
were many applications for beds from
men who thought it was open for busi-
ness. The evening was devoted to
dedication meeting, which was presided
over by Commander Booth-Tucker and
addressed by number of others.
Commander Booth-Tucker outlined
other charities which the army hoped
to start. One of these is a home for
waits and strays at Fordlham, and an
other what he called the salvage collec-
ton department The city is to be laid
out in districts for the latter scheme, and
the unemployed are to go around and
collect from stores and private houses
the refuse which is generally consigned
to ash barrels. Such articles as rags
paper, old shoes, bottles and broken fur
niture will be brought In by the army
and thus hundreds Of men will be able
to make living out of what is thrown
away by the more prosperous. The
army will sell the stuff at a profit suffic-
lent to pay the running expenses of the
charity. New York Sun.

TAx-MADE PROSPERITY

''The immediate mission of the Repub-
lican party, remarks a Republican or
gan. sis to start up idle factories, to en-
courage investment and production, to
furnish work at good wages to unem-
ployed labor"
An excellent mission, but how is 1t to
be achieved? Simply by the exercise of
the taxing power of the government
Nothing could be easier. Taxes are to
be levied on things that the people need,
for the benefit of the men with factories
who can convince the leaders of the par
ty that they should be helped. BY the
simple process of placing tax on arti-
cles manufactured abroad, the people
are compelled to buy at home and the
home manufacturer can charge the value
of the article plus the tariff and thus be
encouraged by huge profits to keep at
work. These profits. of course, for the
public welfare he will divide with the
men he employs.
The production of wealth Is merely a
matter Of putting governments fin-
