REFUSED TO LEAV

Dead Mans Breast and Would
Not Leave His Post.

DR.. Samuel Hastings Hall, who was
but recently on trial in the courts of the
city, died suddenly on Saturday while at
the house of friend, and after his death
a dog, of which he had thought great
deal, took up his position on the breast
of the dead man and refused to leave
the body of his master.
The doctor went early in the evening
to the house of Louis Doerr, at 1712 Baker
street, where he had been invited to din
ner After the meal he complained OF
pains in the region of the heart, ana
when they grew worse DR.. Laidlaw was
summoned but was unable to save the
physician's life. DR.. Hall had su1ereo
from heart trouble for some time. ano
when first attacked last night seemed to
know that he would not live.
During the short time preceding the at

dog, bull terrier, which had been the
constant companion of the physician,
realized that all was not we'll with his

EUROPEAN ARMIES TO DIsARM
The Rev. Cryor in Stirring Sermon
Last Night Stated His Views on

The Rev. S. S. Cryor, pastor OF the
Westminster Presbyterian Church. de-
livered a stirring sermon last evening tn
large congregation. taking for the tonic
of his discourse the proposed disarma-
ment of Europe as has been outlined nv
the Car of Russia.
"Russia's proposal to disarm the stand
ing armies Of Europe" he said ..bas
filled the whole world with astonishment
The Russians have always been looked
upon as an aggressive force; they have
always shown great amount of diplo-
macy, reaching out for new territorv
I still consider Russia the most dangerous
power in Europe. l believe the Car wa a
sincere in his proposal, but I can under
stand why he reasoned himself into the
problem. America before the late war
had only standing army of 25OO0 men
but when the President placed over
900 men in the field few DAYS after
war was declared the Car recognized
how useless and extravagant a thing it
was to keep standing army This late
war also proved that a volunteer army
is superior to a regular army and that
merchants, clerks and mechanics that
are educated and clever are far superior
and will defeat the average regular SOL
der in battle. / do not think that the
Cars suggestion will be acted upon for a
long time, because God overrules and
ordains everything, and / do not believe
that the European armies will be dis
banded until the Turks are driven out of
what we may call the gateway of Europe
and a righteous war pitched against
them.

SEVEN INNINGS
Of FAST BALL
Babies Make q ShOWing
for a While.
DOMAIN FORCED TO EASE UP
SAN FRANCISCO WITH A RUSH
EASILY WINS OUT.
Watsonville in Urgent Need of Out
helders Before It Can Hope to
Make Much of an I'M
preston.

For seven innings yesterday the league
infants played the finest kind of cham
pionship ball. Then Donlan let down In
his pitching, the in and out fielders sud-
denly became hypnotized and San Fran
cisco was handed up a game 1t was no
more entitled to than frosty-footed Witt
man is to levy on his subordinates for his
parade plumage.
jacksonville needs some outfielders. It
can never hope to cut any figure in base
ball circles until 1t replaces its present
choice statuary with some real ball
players who can see the sphere when 1t
gets out in their territory and can con-
meet with 1t at the plate. Peters laoored
under a great disadvantage all day. His
right hand was badly injured in Satur-
days game, but he went in again yester-
day and received DOMAINS delivery, with
the result that his record looks bad, much
worse than 1t really was, in fact. Donlan
had the speed Of a jackrabbit and was
fully as wild, so 1t is small wonder that
Peters had an uncomfortable time of 1T
trying to hold wild pitches and rapid-fire
shells with his sore wing.
Donlan, with a judicious application Of
cold congresses to his head to reduce the
enlargement and more experience in the
box, will become good pitcher. But he
must gain better control of the ball and
realize that there are few points In the
game he has not vet mastered. Up to
the unhappy eighth yesterday he kept
Bunker's pygmies down to three scattered
hits, but then he went to pieces and a
terrific cannonading ensued. Three clean
hits were all that were obtained during
the inning in question, but there was
much hard swatting, which, with the
statuesQue outfielders behind him, Melted
runs and won the game for the locals.
The work of Monahan of the home team
was as ragged as Kansas volunteer, but
he knows how to do better and generally
does, so he may be charged with merely
suffering from an "off day With that
exception and their. inability to make
schedule time with the bail. the San
Franciscos put up a pretty game, erase
fully trimmed with q trio of clever double
plays.

Work of Mastering
Out Begins To-Day.
ALL QUIET IN THE SEVENTH
COLONEL BERRY, HOWEVER,
NOW MAKES A DENIAL.
He Declares That He Has Never
Made Use of Any Expression
Rejecting Upon the Secre-
tary of War.

The mastering out of the Sixth and
Seventh California regiments begins to-
day, under the direction of Captain Pratt,
of the Third Artillery, and Captain H c.
Danes, acting assistant Quartermaster,
commissary and acting ordnance officer,
these officers having been designated for
the work by the War Department.
The first thing to be done will be to
issue an order to the commanding Off
GERS of the two regiments instructing
them to have prepared a complete list of
all officers, and report to the quartermas-
ter general, commissary general of sub
sistence, surgeon general, chief of engi-
neers, chief Of ordnance and chief signal
officer a list of those officers who are,
sible for public property. The physical
examination of the men will take some
time. This will be rigid in order to guard
against false claims for pensions that
may be filed against the Government. 1t
Will also require some time for the mus
tering out blanks to reach San Fran
cisco. Captain Pratt said yesterday that
he thought that the two regiments would
be mustered out in this city.
Colonel Berry now denies the report that
he has ever given utterance to an ex-
preston rejecting upon the Secretary of
War, or that he ever said that his regi-
ment would be disgraced by being mus
opinion that since the Eighth is to take
the place Of the Sixth and Seventh that
1t was political influence that brought
about the mastering out of the regiments.
General Miller has recommended that
six companies of the Eighth be sent to
Benicia, four to Fort Point to relieve the
Sixth one to Santa Cruz and one to AL
catraz. The battalion assigned to Fort
Point will not be brought over from Oak
land until the Sixth and Seventh have
been mustered out. as there might be
some friction between 1t and the two regi-
ments now about to make their exit.
Company F, Seventh California, re-
quests The Call, in a petition containing
the signatures Of seventy-nine men of
the organization, to state that it desires
TO go on record as not having asked to
be mustered out. The petition says that
the statement in one of the morning
papers that elghty-nine men had ex-
pressed themselves as DESTROYS of being
discharged Is unfounded, as no such poll
has been taken. I'VE have always been
ready and willing" says the petition, ito
obey the orders of our superior officers
whether such orders sent us to our homes
or to the front" Only six men of the
company refused to sign this paper.

season will come off, Sid Cavill, cham
pion swimmer of Australia, will swim
Dan Green, local champion a race of
22O yards for a purse of $500 and a side
bet of $3.50. Green is very fast and Ca
Wills easy defeat of Cornell lends inter-
est to the match, and 1t is safe to say
that considerable money will change
hands at the close of the event.
Many thousand pleasure seekers report
an unpleasant day at the park and cliff.

GRATEFUL TENNEssEEANs
Present a Beautiful Souvenir
to Mrs. French, 'the Angel
, OF the Car

The members of Company B, First Ten
nessee Volunteers, have performed a very
graceful act in publicly and tangibly ex-
pressing their gratitude to Mrs. Frank J.
French for her many kindnesses to them
during their campaign here. They have
presented her with a beautiful gold medal
in the shane of a broad Maltese cross,
having in the center an engraving of the

suggestion of Captain Whitthorne The

to Mrs French as the "angel of the
camp field" Mrs. French, in acknowledge
ing the gift of the beautiful souvenir, said
that God had taken one of her boys and
had given her hundred others"
