FEEDING HUNGRY TROOPS
The Red Cross Society Brinqs Cheer to the Weary
 Soldiers.

Fourteen hundred weary, hungry sol- diers were fed at the ferry by the Red Cross Society yesterday, and although there was shortage of sandwiches, doughnuts and other edibles, the men who are going to the front were happy that they fared well. This morning, not long after the break of day, more col umns of blue will be pouring into the city from near and far, and in fear that the food supply will again run short the so- ciety that is doing so much good appeals to the people of this city to con- tribute to the soldiers larder. Sand wiches, doughnuts cakes, in fact any thing that is wholesome, will be accepted with the thanks of the committee in charge. Contributions can be left at the ferry at any time during the day, but if 1t is there as early as o'clock it will do the most good and will bring the most cheer. Tomorrow again the soldiers will come in hundreds and they, too, must be fed Again contributions are wanted and all that can be spared Many prominent merchants have donated supplies, and doubtless tonight will not see one hun gry soldier beneath the tents at the Pre- Sidio grounds.
 The life of a soldier is not an easy one. and it is frequently made the harder by the lack of luXuries when the boys lie stricken by disease. All this the society knows, and eggs by the case and wine likewise are at the camp grounds, and the many sick are carefully and sklllfully at tended to.
 entertainments to augment the coffers of the society are not decreasing in the least. vaudeville entertainment. the receipts to go 70 the society's fund, will be given by the Verein Oesterreich al the Chutes on Saturday, May 70. A good pro- gramme is promised and a large gather ing is expected.
 Among the most enthusiastic workers of Alameda County is Miss Ethel Langfort of Golden Gate. Under .ner direction an entertainment will he given in Klinkner Hall on June 1. It is but a short distance from this city to the scene of the enter tainment aIfd many people from this city are expected by the fair manager and her assistants.

PATROL DULY IN SIGHT
The Naval Reserve May Get a Chance to Serve the
 Co11rofYsu

The California Naval Reserves eager desire for active service may soon be gra tffied. Last evening Adjutant General Barrett received the following from Cap tain Crowninshield, chief of the Bureau of Navigation. Washington; D. C.;
 "Please confer with Rear Admiral Mill Ter. flagship Monterey San Francisco, concerning the supply of crews for pa trolling vessels He has been notified"
 General Barrett will call on the admiral to-day and doubtless make a tender for immediate service of all the men that the admiral may need for patrol duty
 Rear Admiral Miller was seen at the Occidental last evening In reference to the above telegram, and although per fectly willing to discuss other subjects he courfeously refused to give out any in- formation at present, as the strictness of inc navy regulations would not permit + He stated that he had not received word from the adjutant general on the suhiect and did not know at what hour he would be visited by. that official to- day When asked whether the coast would be guarded by patrol fleet, he answered that as soon as the Vigilant were ready they would be manned and officered and be used for that Durpose He was unable at present to say whether the Naval Reserve would be called upon to man these boats or whether crews and officers would be de- tailed from the Mare Island Navy Yard or from vessels about the bay. He sug- gested that Adjutant General Barrett or the head of the local Naval Reserve might better be able to give the infor- nation: as for himself, he could not dis cusS the subject.

A SIGNIFICANT DETAIL.
Forty Men of the First Califor- mia Ordered Aboard the
 PekinO.

Late last night Quartermaster Dohr- mann of the First Regiment received an order to detail forty men to go aboard the City of Picking this morning to assist In loading supplies aboard the ship. He will also begin the hauling of the recently issued supplies from the camp to the yes seI The rifles and ammunition will be taken first, and the other supplies will follow afterward. This would seem to point to the fact that the troops may get away sooner than the present circum- stances indicate.
 The officers of the First do not seem to think that the order of the Secretary of War, ordering two regiments of regulars to this coast, will have any effect in de- laying their departure, as they do not anticipate that the Government intends the substitution of either of the regi- ments for the First.
 The First regiment is now practically resting upon It's arms. Colonel Smith s command is fully equipped in every way, and prepared to sail for Manila, but no one seems to know just when the City of Peking will leave this port. Some declare she will sail tomorrow night, but from the present outlook it is hardly possible that she will sail before Tuesday.
 Colonel Smith was absent from the camp the greater part of yesterday. He went to the city to confer with Generals Merriam and Otis, and also to make a personal inspection of the City of Picking. It is certain that no orders have yet been received by the First or Fourteenth designating the exact day when the troops will leave this port. The officers are hopeful of an early departure, as the soldiers are chafing under the delay.
 All danger of an epidemic of measles from the cases that have developed among the Oregon troops seems now to have been safely passed, and owing to the rigid quarantine, no cases have so far been reported among the other troops in camp. Several suspects in the Oregon Reeiment were removed yesterday morn ing to the Marine Hospital, and the nIiarantine is still vigorously maintained Outside of the measles, the general health of inc soldiers encamped at the Presidio Is oyoaIIant and no serious cases were re- ported yesterday at either the brigade or regimental hospitals.

The steamer was expected to sail to-day or tomorrow, but, owing to un- avoidable delays and changes of plans, her departure will probably not take place until next Tuesday or Wednesday. It was at first intended to crowd about 2000 troops on board of this steamer, but as a supply of commissary stores, naval repair outfits, etc, Is deemed of the ut fleet, the number of hunks has been limit ed to 1000 The excess is now being torn out, and the extra space thus afforded Is being filled with supplies.

A New York Central Innovation.

George H. Daniels of the New York
Central & Hudson River railroad. has
made an announcement which is of a
rather startling nature, but it is one
which ought to please the patrons of
that great system, and particularly
those who travel on mileage books. The
circular reads as follows:
Mileage books, good for 500 miles and
1000 miles travel, are now on sale a
all stations on the New York Central
divisions and branches) at the rate of
$40 and $40 respectively.
These tickets are good until used, and
are available for passage on the main
line of the New York Central, and of
all its branches and divisions, incIud-
ing the Harlem, Putnam, Rome, Water
town & Ogdensburg, Carthage & Adj
rondack, Geneva & Lyons and the Adj
rondack Utica to MontreaD divisions
Mileage books will be issued in the
name of the head of a family or firm.
and will be available for the use of
any member of such family or for any
traveller for a firm, provided the name
OF such member or traveller is written
in the book by the agent selling it, in
the place designated. They will be
honored for transportation by the con-
ductOrS of all trains, including limited
trains, but only to the end of the run
Of each conductor.
If the holder OF such ticket desires to
ride beyond the run of conductor, or
on night train, or to a point on a
branch line, he should present his mile
age ticket to the ticket agent, who will
detach the proper mileage and issue a
mileage exchange ticket, on which bag
gage will be checked to any station on
the New York Central or any of its
branch lines, thus avoiding the neces-
sity of being disturbed after retiring,
or of rechecking baggage.-From the
