There is as yet no probability that the
volunteer movement of the city will be con-
centrated and consolidated, and, while the
men are working In one lot, the indications
are that one of the squads will soon seek
other quarters. Sergt. Lehnnausen was
Starin that he was keeping the movement
from being consolidated. II won't join
with any one," Lehnhausen said. "If my
effort fails, want the satisfaction of know
ing 1t failed through no assistance from
any one else." The latent reason for Lehn-
hausen's refusal to consolidate IS probably
because he has three. companies already
fairly well under way, while Starin has
but one.

be drilled every night henceforth on the

He Found Them More Useful Than His

The ability of Robert Fitzsimmons to box

pretty runaway as ever happened in the
vicinity of Madison square.

The off wheel of the wagon pushed itself

1t takes off dirt. So far,
so good; but what else does
it do?
1t cuts the skin and frets
the under-skin; makes red

leads to worse. Not soap,
but the alkali in it.
Pears Soap has no free al

STRANGE BIT OF RUBBISH
Frank Sayles Swept Along Requena
Street Yesterday Morning

Frank Sayles yesterday had an expe-
rience that seldom comes to the lot Of the
average individual, and 1t was not pleas
ant one. Sayles was swept along the
streets, not by the wave Of patriotism
which everywhere pervades the commun-
ity. He was caught up by the lowly and
dirty street sweeper and rolled for quite
a distance. Sayles had been out having
a good time Thursday night and becom-
ing overpowered by desire to rest, laid
himself in the gutter on Requena street.
There he lay, sleeping peacefully, until
the patent sweeper came along and rolled
him several yards. One of the cleaners
tried to throw a shovelful of dirt into the
wagon, but discovering it to be unusually
heavy took a look and saw Sayles, still
sleeping soundly. Sayles was sent to the
county hospital.

RECRUITS ARE DRILLED
Lehnhausen Refuses to Combine With
Other Organizations

The Zip! Hp" of the drillmaster Is re-
sounding in the cycling lot on Main street,
where four companies Of volunteer soldiers
are being instructed in military maneuvers.
A large crowd of people, numbering
about 1000, was there last night to witness
the drill, and, as the lot is not very spa
cious, they were in the way of the officers
and men. who were there on business. Sew
eral of the organizers were annoyed by the
surging mob of humanity that insisted on
being exactly where they would be the
most in evidence. In consequence of this,
II Is probable-in fact, was intimated by
Sergt Lehnhausen-that from tonight on
people would either have to stand on the
skirts of the lot or else leave 1t entirely,
and If this does not have the desired effect.
they will be kept from the grounds alto
gether while drilling is in progress.
The four companies lined UP last night
aggregated about $50 men, though there
were some among them that did not ap-
pear to be 1S-the minimum age for enlist
ment Three companies were under COM
mand of Sergt. Lehnhausen and the fourth
was under Major Starin. Although they

Dried Fruit Demand

NEW YORK, April 22.-There has been
marked improvement in the demand for
California dried fruits within the past few
days Orders, however, have been chiefly
for small lots needed for immediate COLI
sumption. Speculative interests are DOR
mant, the only approach to 1t being an in
creased demand for apricots, which, ac-
cording to the most conservative reports,
promise a short crop.

A WAR FUND FOR THE N. g. G.
Fiesta Committee Desires Subscrip-
tions in Full

In closing up the affairs of La Fiesta
for 1898, the committee has decided to asl,
the consent of those persons who have not
paid their subscriptions in full to con-
tribute the whole amount, In order that
any balance left over may be devoted to q
patriotic purpose. The plan decided on is
to collect the entire amount subscribed
pay off such bills as have been contracted
and turn over the remainder to the First
Brigade, N. G. c., as fund for war pur-
poses.
The committee has already received very
substantial encouragement In this plan
and in the event Of its carrying, there will
be several thousand dollars available for
patriotic work. The expenses to be met
are verysmuch less than any previous
Fiesta, considering it's postponement
within two weeks of the time of the cele-
bration. 1t is hoped that the subscribers
will be willing to contribute toward secur-
ing substantial war fund on the lines
above indicated.
