A KISS AS 4 REWARD
 FOR THEIR VICTORY
TURNER'S ARE REPAID FOR SUC-
 CEssFUL COMPETITION.
A Grand Ball Held by the Turnsch- western Verein in Honor of
 Its Skillful Athletes.

Athletes and fair maids enacted one of the prettiest ceremonies witnessed in this city in many moons. It took place during the grand ball and prize distribution given last night In honor of the active Turner's bv the San Francisco Turnschwestern Verein at their hall on Turk street.
 AS each of the young men who upheld the honor of the verein during the big tournament at San Jose was called to the platform to receive the handsomely en- graved diploma won in competition against rival organizations. he was taken in hand by one of six pretty girls who first pinned a token on his breast and then implanted a kiss on his expectant lips in payment for his share of hard work done during the tournament.
 The pleasing task of thus recognizing the vaior of the society's champions was assigned to Miss Lillie Nusbaum, Miss Clara Attinger, Miss Emma PlanZ. Miss Carrie Nelson, Miss Minnie Frost and Miss Clara Frost, who ably performed their duties.
 Among the Turner's who were fortunate enough to receive the favors were:
 Will Hing. Theodore Planz, Sam Bachman, Harry Meyer. Fred Hoffman, Rudolphe Bauer. MT Steinbrook. W. Sterger. Gus Bergman. Joe Edelmann Oscar Kaiser M. Wallenstein Al Bruendelein, F. Wienhrink, H.. Muller, Fritz Attinger, Adam Brehn, r. Acker and John Utschig.
 The prize winners made handsome appearance dressed in their gray Turner's uniforms and were greatly in demand dur ing the remainder of the evening as partners in the dances that followed. President Schroeder of the Turn Verein delivered a felicitous speech in German in which he congratulated the verein in having such splendid representatives, and told of their efforts at the tournament being crowned with victory. Applause again resumed. The singing by members of the verein was much enjoyed.

ETHICS OF CHARITY.
Dr. Stebbins on the Amelioration of
 the Horrors of War.

The Influence of the charities of human ity in the present war formed theme for the Rev Dr. Horatio Stebbns at the First Unitarian Church yesterday morn ing.
 At first thought, he said. 1t seemed strange that the violent movement of so- ciety and of nations which has been from the beginning until now and which we call war should be the theater for the display of those great sentiments we call the humanities. In no respect Is the pro- gress of society and the amelioration Of mans estate more distinctly marked than In the gradual recognition of the ethics cries Taking the world as it is, and knowing that so long as the world is, so war will be, with robbers still infesting the highways of the world, the road from Jerusalem to Jericho is a symbol at once of the conflict of hate and mercy.
 It is no longer true, he said, that the laws are silent in the midst of the arm ies nor that the victors shall inflict all the vengeance and cruelties upon the de- feated ones. There Is such a thing as the ethics of the humanfties of war. Men do not cease to be merely beings, but re- snonsible to one another and to God. Armies fight no more with poisoned ar rows, nor are communities of men, women and children put to death to the exter- minating of the race. Morality is the umpire whose judgment the nations ac- cept There has been great advance of public opinion within the last half cen f1ry and that advance has been expressed in the striking display of the sentiment of human nature In this conflict of the ma three months.

The TillamOOk Arrives
 With Little Gold.
FIFTEEN THOUSAND ABOARD
MINERS DISSATISFIED AT THE
 RESULT OF THEIR WORK.
Captain Doran Lost a Barge Going Up, but Congratulates Himself on Landing the Ride
 out.

The steamer Tillamook arrived from St. Michael last evening with thirty-seven passengers, many of whom were return ing miners, who had not over s15,O0O in gold.
 Captain Peter Doran, the commander of the vessel, is very much delighted with his feat of succeeding in taking his tow, the Rideout up to St. Michael in safety, and is probably the most saushed man aboard the steamer, as nearly ali or the miners who came down on her did not do as well as they expected.
 T. Brown, who was in the IAiondike dis trict but one year, is the fortunate pos sessor of more than half of the dust brought down on the Tillamook. He has In the neighborhood of $S000 to show for his years work. The remainder of the gold on the ship was divided in small sums among the other passengers, put a number of the miners had nothing at all. The unfortunate ones were styled by one of the ships officers as sore heads" They went up into the gold dis trict expecting to find the yellow metal so plentiful that 1t could be taken up Dy the Shovelful, and when they dlsco 'ereo that work was required to secure IL Ill moderate quantities they became dis couraged and came down the river thor oughy disgusted with the country: e,,oa with trouble for Captain Doran. The Rideout that the Tillamook lowed north had to be nurSed all the way anu tHe fact that she was finally landed at her destination in good condition is due to the excellent seamanship of the commander on the steamer. She Is the only stern wheel steamer which was taken rom here in tow which reached port, and Cap tain Doran cannot be blamed for congrat- ulating himself on his success.
 On the way up the Tillamook LOOK III tow at Dutch Harbor a barge which was placed astern of the Rdeout. The barge began to leak almost as soon as she started and when two days out or Dutch harbor had sunk to the waters edge It was lashed up and in this condition sixty miles a day were made. The president of the California-Yukon TransportatoI Company, who was on board, finally or dered the barge to be cut adrift, which was done contrary to the advice of Cap tain Doran, who thought she could be saved This Is probably the barge which the Leelanaw sighted 200 miles south or St. Michael.
 The following passengers came down on the steamer: J. l.. Snyder, R. F. Graham A. Hermann, E. Geandgorge, J. E. Black shaw. A. Gorley, J. c. McDougaH, w A. Bassett ". E. Bost, T, Brown c. Nel- son.
