THE SEVENTH COMPLAINS.
Their Food Poor and They Are
Drilled Too Much.

SAN FRANCISCO, July 19.-The
Seventh California Volunteers, besides
chafing under their delay in getting to
the front, complain that their food is
poor and gcanty, that they are drilled
too much, are restricted in their priv
ileges and are treated like virtual pris-
oners. Colonel Berry is blamed by
many, who demand the appointment of
a regular army officer to command the
regiment
Referring to the dissatisfaction ex-
pressed by the men, Colonel Berry to-
day denied that their complaints had
any foundation in fact. They are un-
der no more restraint than the MEM
bers of other regiments and have as
many privileges as brigade and divis-
ion orders will permit. The Colonel
thinks there is no general discomfort ex-
cept with the failure to order the regi-
ment to Manila, and in this he shares,
for he is anxious to see active service.

VICTORIA (B. CO. July 49, = The
steamer Empress of India, which arriv-

her passengers C. Hodgson, who COM
manded the revenue cutter McCulloch
during the battle of Manila.
Captain Hodgson is on his way to San
Francisco. According to the Hongkong
papers, Admiral Diedrich, commander
of the German fleet at Manila, is cred
tied with the statement that he will
prevent Admiral Dewey from lombard
ing Manila or any port. 1t is reported
also that Spanish regiment met a
force led by Aguinaldo, and the Span
ish Captain challenged Aguinaldo to
mortal combat before the battle began.
The offer was accepted, and the duel
resulted in the fatal wounding of the
Spanish officer.

THE PENNSYLVANIA SAILS.
She Carried Nearly Fifteen Hun
dred Men for Manila.

SAN FRANCISCO, July 10. - The
transport steamer Pennsylvania sailed
to-day for the Philippines The an
nouncement that the vessel would sail
to-day attracted thousands of people
to the water front, and hundreds of
others chartered small boats to ac-
company the big liner to the Golden
Gate. The rolls of heavy smoke issu-
ing from the smokestack of the YES
sci was a preliminary announcement
that the time for the departure had
come, and a great cheer arose from
the thousands of spectators along the
water front.
The Pennsylvania carried nearly l.
900 men, including the First Montana
Regiment and 300 recruits for the First
California Volunteers, now at Manila.
The troops will be under the command
of Colonel Kessler.

SEVENTH MAY GO.
Great Influence Being Brought to
Bear for That Purrose

SAN FRANCISCO, July 19.-The two
subjects of Importance which are oc-
cupying the attention of the military
authorities here are the sailing Of the
remaining transports Of the fourth ex-
pedition and the abandonment of Camp
Merritt for the Presidio.
The next two transports to sail will
be the City of Rio de Janeiro and ST.
Paul. The Rio will depart next Friday
That was the day fixed by General Mer-
riam this morning and there are no in
dications that there will be any delay.
Brigadier General Otis will sail on the
Rio, and the troops under his com
mand during the voyage will be the
two battalions of South Dakota Vol
unteers
The ST. Paul will probably sail next
Monday and the Scandia is expected to
be ready for service by the first Of Au-
gust.
There was a report this morning that
the Seventh California Volunteers
would be designated to sail on the Scan
dia. Considerable influence in behalf
Of the regiment is being brought to
bear on the authorities at Washington
and it would not be surprising to hear
any day that the boys from the south
will be given a chance to do some fight
ing in the Philippines. The fact that
Colonel Berry of the Seventh called at
headquarters this morning for a con-
ference with General Merriam leads to
the belief that the Southern California
volunteers will be among the lucky
troops to sail on the Scandia and the
ships expected to sail with her.
Camp Merritt will be abandoned as
soon as possible No general orders
have been issued as yet Fcalling for a
general move to the Presidio. The
camp will be moved by detachments,
as it would be difficult to get transpor-
tation for all the regiments to move at
once.

Try Holding Your Breath.

The modern quick moving elevator, when it sinks suddenly, gives many persons an unpleasant, qualmish feeling. Into well filled elevator in big shop. ping store the other day stepped from one of the floors two women.
 'tDo you know, said one of them to the other, .that if you hold your breath going down in an elevator you don's have that unpleasant feeling; you don't feel it at all. ''
 Of course nobody in tho elevator lis tened Intentionally, but nobody could help hearing what she said. Conyersa- tion instantly ceased, and every ybody drew long breath. The elevator shot downward in silence.
 "Ground floorl" said the elevator man as he threw back the door, and the women streamed out from the car upon the floor, talking now gayly, and there was one at least who said that the plan was efeetive.-New York Sun.

NEW YoRNS GROWTH.
The City Has Never Halted Since It Was
 First Fairly Started.

 The City Has Never Halted Since It Was
 First Fairly Started.
 Ernest Ingersoli writes Q paper on the Great New York, entitled Reasoning Out a Aee1 opolis. for St. Nicholas. Mir. Ingersoll says
 The people of New York, Brooklyn, Staten Island and certain nearby north ern towns resolved to join themselves together into one city, which is now the Greater New York. It embraces 843 square miles of territory and includes population of nearly 3, 400, 900.
 Besides these at least another million dwell on the New Jersey side of the Hudson river, quite as near and as closely identified with the great city on Manhattan Island as are those of the northern and eastern suburbs. This makes a population of nearly 4, 500, 900 which may be said to belong to New York, making it not only by far the largest center of human life and inter- ests in America, but, excepting only London, the most popuIous spot oD the globe.
 How has it happened that this vast city has grown up where it stands? Why did not the American metropolis arise somewhere else? Is it's position all an accident, or does history show sound reasons for it's situation? The earliest settlement here was merely trading station that gradually became small seaport. like dozen others along the coast. Before the year 1700 these were so nearly alike that he would have been wise prophet who truly foretold which would thrive. Indeed many men of that day firmly believed that Newport and Annapolis were to be the two great American seaports.
 Great cities arise at the points where the greatest number of people find it convenient to meet at first for business and later for pleasure. You cannot force city to grow in an unnatural or unsuit- able situation, and it is no easier to prs. vent a city from growing ill its proper place. But the conditions that change Q village into big town and expand the town into city or metropolis are not the same in different parts of the globe and vary with the march of the cen turies; so that now many an ancient world market, like Nineyeh or Mem phis, has totally disappeared, while towns like Berlin have lately increased with amazing rapidity, after a long his tory as small and insignificant places. AS for New York, it has never halted or gone backward for moment since it was fairly started on its career in 1893.

The Obligation Must Be Sacredly Kept.
 Chips From the Temple.
 When a tprofane" is admitted to the sacred circle of the fraternity, he enters voluntarily and of his own accord. He en- ters into a solemn compact with his mas ter, with his lodge and with tho entire fraternity. It is compact, an agreement, a "eeyenant, by which the practices of Masonry are governed. It is promise to walk uprightly by the plumb of rectitude, to do and to forbear doing. This binds each member of the craft, and it Is cord which holds them together.
 The art works of the late John Sartain are now on exhibition in the library of the Masonic temple, Philadelphia.
 The increasing practice of lodges and brethren in publishing the doings of Ma sonic bodies is an evil, says Grand Master Scott of Illinois.
 The grand lodge of England says Ma sorry is q system of morality yelled in al legory and illustrated by symbols.
 The grand lodge of Freemasons has re- elected the Prince of Wales for the twenty fourth year eonsecutively to be grand mas ter of the order in England.
 The grand lodge of Minnesota voted that the use in any Masonic hall or lodge- room by any brother of any book purport- ing to give tho secret or unwritten work of tho three degrees, if permitted by the worshipful master, shall, on presentation of such fact to the grand master, be sufi- eient cause for the arrest of the charter of the lodge in which the offense occurs.
 Masonry's teachings arc imperishablo truths, and the system of morality which constitutes it's foundation embraces every thing that is calculated to attract the su- perior mind.
 The grand lodgo of Masons in Virginia has made arrangements to celebrate the centennial of the death of Washington Dec. II, 1899.
 Decisions made by the grand master of Pennsylvania cannot be reviewed or chang cd by the grand lodge There is no appeal
 The name tFreernason'' appears for the first time in statute 25 of Edward 1 of England, In 1850. It signitied one who worked in freestone as distinguished from tho mason who built walls of rough stones.
 In Delaware warden cannot confer a degree unless he be past master Tn the absence of tho master the senior warden, and succeeding him the junior warden, may open the lodge and transact the busi- ness, but if there is a degree to confer he must invite past master to do it.

Tnadeauate Identiflcation.

A woman who IS newly como to town went into one of the banks ono day last week to have a check cashed. The pay ing teller examined the check with that air of suspicion paying teller never loses.
 You'll have to be identified, mad am, he said politely,
 The woman was in great hurry.
 "Identifedp' she said Why, haven't time to go and get anybody to identify mel Besides, I don't know three people in town. "
 sI'm sorry, said the teller, "but the rule is invariable.
 But, protested the woman, q really am the Mary L. Brown named on the check. You don t doubt that. do you?"
 The teller looked embarrassed.
 It's only form, madam, he said, but we must insist on some identifca- tion. ,
 1 happy thought struck the woman. Her name was en her handkerchief.
 Would the name on my handker- chief be any identification" she asked. The teller replied that it would.
 "Well, then, said she majestieaily. handing over the square of linen, "per- haps you'll be good enough to give me Che money nowi"
 The teller examined the handkerchief and handed it back without word. In one corner was daintily written in in- delible ink, Sarah Jones.
 The check was not cashed till next day, and the newly arrived woman has discharged her laundress. Washington Post.

NIGHT.

The sun has vanished out of my sight, And the moments sldiy roll, For my heart is dark with the thought of
 night,
 And the night is in my soul. The day is set and never will rise, And my heart is sick and sore, For the sweet, sweet light of my true loTe's
 eyes
 Will shine for ne no more. My very sleep of rest is shorn, am full of pain and care Sick with the thought of what have borne And of what is left to bear. see the rose with bushes fired, hear the brook run by, But l am tired, so sick and tired, I almost long to die. For know tho sun will dry the stream, And the flow'ret fade in the frost, And I know that my dream is all dream And the charm of U dream is lost There will never, never be any moro light, For my hope and I must part, And my soul is dark with the thought of night And the night is in my heart.

Lodge Matters Should Be Conducted on
 Business Princip1es-Linklets.
 An Odd Fellows lodge is business en- terprise and it's success depends more upon the business management of its affairs than upon any other one thing. Any busi- ness will go if it has money and resources back of it which are handled judiciousiy, and just so with an Odd Fellows lodge. If your lodge has been running number of years and you have not accumulated money, you have not used good business methods, and bankruptcy will be your fate. Odd Fellows Herald.
 A lodge cannot be held for money fraud ulently obtained from another lodge by one of its members.
 Tho encampment branch has developed considerable activity of late and ought to show up we'll in the reports.
 A lodge may use it's funds in hiring watchers for it's own or transient sick members.
 To help each other in time of need is the work of an Odd Fellow, nor should he forget that the day of diversity may come to him.
 When every lodge decides that quality and not quantity is desirable in Inember- ship, there will be less turmoil and anl- mosities engendered by lodge trials, and the grand master will find some peace.
 In our love for the order we should over look and forget as far as possible any seem- ing sights or indignities that may be of fered by offending members.
 If the decisions of the grand siro become law, why are they not sent to each grand secretary for distribution among lodges, so that those ignorantly disobeying the laws may be led to do right?
 The officers of the lodge have the right to their respective position upon the staff in the regular lodge work and cannot be deprived of that right except by their con- sent.-Sogeroign Grand Lodge.

Does Not Mind a Broken Neeh.
