Maiden frank and free,
Leave the town with me;
Leave the city for the woodlands.
For the fields OF emerald corn,
For the meads with running sfreamiets
Singing praises 10 the morn;
For the hills that bound the distance,
Crowned with purple diadems;
For the sunshine on the dewdrops,
Decking trees and plants with gems
Maiden sweet and fair.
Young and debonair;
Leave the city's smoke and hurry,
Never-ceasing toll and pain.
Noisy streets and noisone alleys,
Love OF gold and greed OF gain.
Where the soul IL cribbed and cabined.
Where the heart has lack OF room.
Where the ghosts OF want and burger
stalk around I'm robes OF gloom.
Maiden dear and free,
Nature here we see
Nature ia her robes Of beauty,
Glowing In her summer dress.
Free from artificial letters.
Free from sorrow and distress.
Soothed by sound OF running waters
Charmed by humming OF the bees,
Let US rest within the shadows
OF the grand primeyai trees.

Governor Budd has left the city for a

due his constituents to try and have the
bill passed, and succeeded by agreeing to
assist Mulcrevy.

any is also a mistake. The idea that

were very friendly, and never knew him

Bert Packard, who was very much in

used any underhand means to procure the
passage of the coyote claim bill, but be-

ing tax consumers would become tax pro-
ducers. More than that. the value OF

land now worth So or 81 per acre would
then be worth from 500 to $1,000. This
was what happened in ENGLAND. We pur,
chased some time ago 1000 acres OF land
near the mouth of the Thames at the rate
of $100 an acre. 1t IS now selling at from
$500 10 $1,000 an acre. The root OF the
present difficulty is that while the cities
are suffering from over-population the
agriculturists are suffering from the very
opposite evil. The centripetal forces OF
the city have been such as to attract the
population, and our charitable 1nstitu-
lions have encouraged this tendency i'm
stead of setting centrifugal influences in
operation for the distribution OF surplus
labor over the country.

George f. Butler, was unanimously

George f. Butler, was unanimously
adopted:
ResoLued, That a committee OF fifteen be ap-
poin ted By the chairman to present plans in
detail to the capitalists and business men of
San Francisco with the purpose OF practically
illustrating in our State the possibility and
advantage to the comm onwealth of the estab-
iishment of the unemployed on small farms
near our centers OF pOpula ton and on vacant
lots in this vicinity.
Among other prominent Salvationists
at yesterdays meeting. in addition to the
commander, were Lieutenant Colonel
Keppel, Major Mcintyre, the general sec-
retary, Major Milsaps OF the War Cry,
Major Winchells and Adjutant George s.
Montgomery.
The chairman, Hugh Craig, introduced
the comm ander, and in doing 30 spoke
briefly on the questions at issue. He re-
ferred to the existing situation in San
Francisco and the melancholy fact that
1estitution makes men willing to work for
81 day, and tor ten hours day. He
insisted that the solution of the problem
must be found in some plan whereby the
surplus population can be placed upon the
land.
Commander Booth-Tucker dealt with
phases of the sociological problem before
speaking OF tue army y Dian OF colonial
| ton. He undertook to correct certain
| mistaken Impressions as to the scope OF
| its proposals to ameIiorate poverty, de-
| claring that it was ridiculous to suppose,
! as some people apparently believed, that
| the expenditure of $500 600 would wipe
| out destitution altogether.
| The com mander gave some interesting
| statistics to show the exteEt OF the army $
] social work, calling special attention to
! the city colonies in this country and their
| remarkable development during the last
! few months. The institutions in San
Francisco included prison-gate farm, a
| labor bureau, a clinic, poor mans law
| yer and children's home. The Pingree
| plan for the cultivation of vacant lots was
/ referred to as an excellent expedient for
| temporary relief and one calculated to
| give the cultivator rough and ready
knowledge of agriculture, which would
the better qualify him to join one OF the
army colonies.
The commander explained the latter in
! the following terms: "These farm colonies
are to consist of from 100 to 1000 acres OF
land in as close proximity to the City as
| possible, divided into five-acre lots or
| thereabouts. on which to settle the people
as peasant proprletors. Connect d with
these we propose to have large settlement is
of 100000 acres and upward; in other
words we want to restore the forgotten art
OF Horticulture. We have agriculture and
horticulture. but Horticulture has been
forgotten.

our cities were transferred to the land

its work. The ministers of other evaneeli-
cal denominations had been invited to be
present and most of the members of the
Baptist, Methodist, Congregational and
Christian ministerial societies were pres
ent.
Sympathy with the army work was
what the commander had come to ask
d as achieved and hopes to achieve among
the natives of India and among the
masses who dwell in the slums of Chris
tian cities. Members of the army had
been severely criticized by missionaries IN
India Tor living like the natives, but the
commander declared that by doing so the
natives could best be reached.
with the natives the question OF Chris
tlanity is largely question OF bread and
butter or of curry and rice. Three-fourths
of the inhabitants of the villages never
saw such thing as money; they are
given a share of the crops. The moment
man steps across the line of heathen-
dom his food supply is cut off by the Hin
docs. am certain India cannot be really
Christianzed till the missionaries face
this question"
The commander said that General
Booths desire was to obtain large tract
of land from the Government for Chris
tianized natives. He earnestly commend
ed the scheme to the various mission
boards, declaring that the Government
looked favorably upon the plan.
In regard to the social plan Commander
Booth Tucker declared that TO take the
surplus population from the cities to The
land would open up great vista of pros
perity for California. Another point of
view" he said. ''is that of safety. II our
brethren here had to face some of our
people in the slums their dangerous char
acter would impress itself upon them"
A detailed account OF the army system
was given, the commander answering OBJ
jections which might be made to the strict
system of discipline. He concluded by
commencing the work to the sympathy of
Christian churches.
A number of pastors asked questions
relative to the statement that the Saliva
vation Army gives converts to the
churches. Some of the questioners seemed
to regard the army as an active rival to
the churches, but Commander Booth
Tucker declared that the Salvation Army
gives more members to the churches in
the way of converts than it takes from
churches in the way of army workers.

ten for Him.

Robert Fitzsimmons, who now signs
himself the retired middle and heavy
weight champion pugilist of the world,
left this City yesterday for Sacramento
for the purpose of giving an exhibition in
the capital city last evening. He will re-
turn to-day, it is thought. and his man
ager, Julian, is now arranging tour
for him through the country.
Julian, the manager and director.gen-
eral for the champion. was not in pleas
ant mood last evening and when asked
questions regarding the future move
ments OF Fitzsimmons he replied in an
eyasive way. In fact he would not say
ANYTHING because he did not apparently
know anything.
When asked about that lit5le disturb
ance which was reported TO have taken
place Sunday morning i'll the grillroom OF
the Baldwin Hotel between Fitzsimmons
and an Englishman who had taken Cor
belts part, the ''only' Julian replied that
the report as published in the evening
papers was without any foundation of
fact.
Julian said he had not spoken to Cor
bett nor his manager Brady since his ar
rival in this City and that so far as he was
concerned he had no business to transact
with either man.

gether, and the now ex-champ pion, as |
understand, is looking for a return match.
Everybody knows that Corbett refused to
meet Peter Jackson second time and
hero he is now, after getting good lick
ing expecting an immediate return con-
test with the champion of the world.
"Well, l guess he will have to wait until
we are good and ready, ana that will be
many years, as Fi,zsimmons has an
nounced his retirement from the ring,
having won all the honors and emolu-
ments that are attached to a champion
ship contest. Let Corbett try his hand
with Peter Maher, Choynski and others
who are looking for distinction and the
best man can claim the championship, s
Fitzsim mons has no further use for it,
Julian said Fitzsimmons will tour
through the country, and that play is
now being written for him, but the title
will not be made known until after it is
copyrlghted.
Fltzsimmons has been ordered to appear
in the Justice Court to-day at O'Clock to
answer to an order OF examination taken
out by ]. ]. Rauer.
The claim on which the order is based
is that of Jimmy Carroll, the lightweight.
who sued Fitzsimmons for services and
got judgment for 1867 and costs.
When FitZsimmons was here before, at
the time of the Sharkey fight, an attempt
was made to collect tho money. but he was
not so opulent at that time as at the pres
ent, and tho attempt failed.
The San Francisco call., 1897-03-23

has applied for an order of examination
to compel the conqucror of Corbett to tell
what has become of that SIS, 600 purse
which he is reputed to have received from
Dan Stuart.
Some time ago Carroll, the boxer, sued
Fitzsimmons for 1904 A and got judg-
ment. but was unable to collect the money
because the fighter was unable to respond.
Ip his affidavit Mr.. Perry swears that
the Sheriff and his deputies have made a
faithful search. and ''that. according to
the return of the writ. no property of the
defendant has been found on which to
levy said execution; that as deponent is
informed and verify believes said defend
ant has property in his possession or
under his control sufficient to satisfy said
judgment and execution which he con-
ceals or has concealed"
When the author of the Knockout blow
returned to Carson another effort was
made to collect the debt, but FitZsimmons
declined to pay, as hereinbefore intimated.
Now he will be hauled up in court to tell
whether he really received $4,000 from
Stuart, and to show cause generally why
he does not pay the bill.
