of cruel despotism, the deeds of brave
men and the hope of liberty's triumph.
These things they saw portrayed in the
bright coIors of vivid imagery, and from
breasts filled with that love OF justice and
of right which is strong in every true
American burst forth the Indignation and
the sympathy which the tales of Spanish
atrocities have been engendering day by
day.
There was not an address during the
evening which did not appeal strongly to
The audience. To the scholarly address
OF the Mayor, the keen arraienment by
Attorney William H. Jordan of Spanish
iniquities. the patriotic remarks of Henry
E. Highton, the polished eloouence OF
Samuel M. Shorlridse and the powerful
appeal of Colonel T. V. Eddy-all were
greeted by the audience, with ardent en-
thusiasm.
A brass band furnished music for the
occasion and its selections were heartily
received. The numbers We're not classi-
cal, neither were they new. For such an
audience. "The Star-spangled Banner"
America, Marching Through Georgia"
and kindred airs which recall the names
of patriots and the acts of heroes, were
plenty. good enough. And for an audience
assem- bled in the name of humanity and
freedom the best is scarcely good enough.
1t was nearly 8 o'clock when Mayor
Phelan called the meeting to order. His
appearance was the signal for the first
round of applause, which was repeated
many times during the course of his adj
dress. The chief executive of the munich
pality spoke as follows:
Ladies and Gentlemen: The duty has de-
volved upon me OF calling this meeting to or
der. About month ago Twas in receipt OF a
communication from the Cuban League Of f
America, with headquarters in New York,
asking that this remote City of San Fran cisco
form committee for the purpose of cooper.
ating with the parent organization. The or
ganization had but single object, and that

zation OF their duty in helping by their moral
support and BY material aid the patriots of
Cuba to regain their freedom and their lib
erty [Applanse., No American community
could possibly be deaf to such an appeal, and
with the cooperation of the Cuban League of
San Francisco, already formed, was enabled
TO select from your felloweitizens fifty gentle
men who promised their active support and
cooperation. That committee of fifty has
called this demonstration. Such meetings
have been held throughout the country, and
the organization in New York is most repre-
sentative one. Every man who loves justice
and hates iniquitv- belongs to that society in

The audience listened eagerly to the
words of the speakers. They mufmured
Indignantly during oratorical pauses in

They applauoed 10 the echo the names OF

A patriotic American audience, gsth-
cred in sympathy with struggling peo-
pie who suffer that they may be free, was
that assembled at Metropolitan Temple
last evening.
Never was the spirit of liberty more
evident. 1t was represented in the fes-
toons of red, white and blue, and IN the
star of Cuba libre, which wsre the main
features of the decorations. 1t welled
from hearts throbbing with the ardor OF
patriotism and the compassion OF hu-
manity.
1t was voiced in the eloquence of gifted
speakers, whose art is never SO noble, so
effective and so sublime as when invoked
in the cause of down. trodden people bat
tling for freedom.

California is new State, but she has done
much for the cause of freedom. She put free
dom into her constitution ut the very incep-
tion of her history, when 1t was a question
whether she would be for slavery or against it,
and so true has she. been to these principles
that when the black man was despised as
human chattel she offered him the same
privileges which the white population en-
joyed.
She recognized the blacks as human beings
entitled TO freedom, and that freedom was
ultimately given 10 them after most terrible
war, costing q million human lives and MIL
lions of treasure, and probably the best type of
man who went TO that battle from this coast
aud he is Californian we will always claim
as the type of the soldier of ffreedom-was, you
will remember, Edward Dickinson Baker.
(Applause.l
Baker was inflamed with the love of liberty,
and having been sent 10 the Senate of the
United States he threw aside the honors of
peace and seizing the sword rushed into the
forefront of the battle and died fighting at the
very beginning of the war.
But not alone has he bequeathed to us his
example, but he has bequeathed to US golden
words Of eloquence which tell so beautifully
the story of freedom and its invincibility that
am moved to repeat them. because they have
been with me since schooldays almost as
household words. He said: "Long years ago
took my stand by freedom, and where in
youth my feet were planted there my man
hood and my age shall march. for one am
not ashamed of freedom; / rejoice in her
cause; march beneath her banner; glory in
her strength. But have seen her stricken
down on hundred fields of battle ! have
seen her friends fly from her; have seen her
foes gather round her; / have seen them bind
her to the stake, gathering her ashes
that they might scatter them further yet
But when they turned to exult saw her

That is the story of freedom. She cannot be
put down nor extermnated. Her friends,
even, may desert her; her foes may gather
round her, and even in the darkest days of the
Cuban struggle you and /, who knew the life

AN AWFUL SORE
A Babes Untold Suffering
And Mothers Many
SIeepIess Nights.
CUTICURA WORKS WONDERS.

herewith write out in full the beginning
and end of that terrible disease, Eczema,
which caused my babe untold suffering, and
myself many sleepless nights.
My baby was born seemingly fair, healthy
child, but when she was three weeks old
swelling appeared on the back of her head, and
in course of time broke. Every one called it
a boil, and, now it had broken, would soon heal,
but that was only the beginning of the trouble.
It did not heal but grew worse, and the sore
spread from the size of dime to that of dol
lar. used all kinds of remedies that could
think of but nothing seemed to help, in fact
it grew worse, her hair fell out where the sore
was and feared it would never grow again.
1t continued until my aged father came on
visit, and when he saw the baby he told me
"to get CUTICURA SOAP and CUTICURA oint-
ment right away" To please him 1 did so,
and to my surprise, by their use the sore be-
gan to heal over, the hair grew over it, and
to-day she has nice head of hair, her skin
is as fair as lily, and she has no scar left to
recall that awful sore.
CUTICURA soothes and allays all itching and
burning that cause child to fret and the
mother to worry, and gives rest and comfort
both to parent and child.

WHAT TO EAT.
Some Sensible Suggestions That Should
BE Posted In Every Household.

como Sensible Suggestions That Should
80 Posted In Every Household.
Aralstonite, writing in that excel
ient gastronomic journal, What to Eat,
makes few sensible suggestions in re-
gard to the diet that ought to be posted
IN every household. He says that the
healthiest and purest lives come from
those who do not eat meat before the
age of 10.
Potatoes, sliced thin and fried, are in
dlgestible. While tasting delicious, they
afford no real nourishment and cause a
arrangement of the liver.
Cake clogs the stomach. All rich
pastry is poison to the liver. Soft cara
mels and creams are also bad for any
ono with a liver at all rebellious
When you get old, look out for your
food. Do you every notice that grand
fathers face is not as jolly as it used
to be? His strength of mind also seems
slowly disappearing, though he is get
ting feshier every day. He needs u
change of food. Probably he has been
eating buckwheat cakes and strip, white
bread and butter, sugar, fat meats, etc.
Give HIM lean meat and fish, cracked
wheat and potatoes, barley cakes, ryo
bread or southern corn cakes. Try it,
and instead of moping and sitting round
the house all day you will find him run
ming around lively as cricket.
Maybe, OH the contrary, he is growing
thin and pale. Then he needs buck
wheat and molasses, fat meats, mashed
potatoes i'll milk, northern corn, cracked
wheat and fish, oatmeal porridge and
fruits every morning.
All rules have their exceptions, and
the diet described for the mass may not
answer for exceptional cases, but the
following directions are good for the
majority:
Milk is tho simplest and most natural
food. If you cannot drink it, your stom-
ach is i'll a diseased condition. Cheese is
q good substitute, if mild, fresh and
made from pure milk and cream. Per-
sons who live mostly OH vegetables have
the best nerves and the best complex
IONS Red pepper is an excellent condi-
ment Its effect upon the liver is re-
markablo. Malaria, intermittent fever
or congestive chills cannot endure the
presence of red pepper. Pure red pepper
(known as cayenne) should be on every
table.
Ill health is caused largely by i'm
proper food or by food which is in q bad
condition when it is eaten.
