CHAPLAIN ALLENSW0RTH
APPEALS TO HIS RACE

Chaplain Allensworth of the Twenty
fourth Infantry delivered an interesting
discourse to a large congregation at the
Starr King A. NJ. E. Zion Church last
evening He spoke to the text: Fight
the good fight of faith" During his
sermon he called attention to the fact
that the negro had fought in all of the
great wars of the nation and has won for
himself, and to the nation Of which he Is
part, an imperishable record. The
speaker dwelt at length on the splendid
work done by the colored troops at San
Juan and other notable fights in the late
war with Spain. He said they were again
called to go to Manila and bear share
in the conflict, and he said they were
ready That whenever call upon them
was made they responded Here l am,
send me-"
The chaplain appealed to his young list
eners to educate themselves. intellectu-
ally, morally and religiously; to become
men of good. sound moral character, non
est in all things and above all honest to
themselves and their race. He impressed
this advice on their minds as being a
great duty which he hoped every man
would fulfill.
He also appealed to his female audit
ors, beseeching them to maintain pure
and virtuous characters, without which
the standard of the race could not be
maintained with q degree of dignity which
IL ought to have as a race.
At the conclusion of the eloquent ad-
dress the choir sang "Blest Be the Tie
That Binds" The evening service was
closed with a benediction from the pastor,

Willis. DR.. Lowell said:

and yet there is a dignity conferred upon us
which may we'll make US lift up our heads and
make us proud of our calling. 1t is a great
honor for God Almighty to call in to His

finished, God should say TO the man helping
Him, Thou didst we'll" The Divine con-
mendation is sufficient reward for all toll and

The Mount Views did not worry about

they would play a waiting race and

HIS FRIENDS SEARCH FOR HIM

Leaves Home With the Intention of
Attending the Funeral of the
Late Father Flood at
Sacred Heart Church.

J. J. McInerney, a grocer whose resi-
dence and place of business is at the cor
ner of Clipper and Sanchez streets. dis
appeared from his home Friday morning
and up TO a late hour last night his rela-
tives and friends had discovered no trace
of his whereabouts. Leo Assembly, No. 5,
Young Mems Catholic Union. of which
Mr.. McInerney is treasurer, turned out in
q body on Friday to attend the funeral
Of the late Father James Flood at Sacred
Heart Church, and when the missing man
hade his wife goOd-by in the morning he
announced that he was going to the
funeral That is the last his wife has
seen or heard of him and she is naturally
greatly worried for fear he has met with
an accident. He was not at the funeral
SO far as can be learned, and as he is a
man easily recognized his sudden drop
ping so completely out of sight has Occa-
stoned much comment and speculation.
Friday morning Mr.. McInerney visited
the office of Carew & English on Van
Ness avenue for the RurlR}ose3 lR}3, OF paEyin;g Ed g

about $l35. represented the portion of the
receipts of the picnic given by the organi-
ZatiOn on Decoration day which came
into Mr. Mclnerney's 5 hands as treasurer
Of Leo Assembly. AS Mr. English was
out at the time the money was turned
over to Mr.. Carew, who gave Mr.. Nc
Inerney a receipt for the same. After
leaving the office Of Carew & English Mr..
McInerney disappeared as mysteriously
and completely as though swallowed by

relief.
Il DO not think anything serious can

night, although I cannot imagine where
he can be. He was not in the habit of
remaining away from home even one
night. He did not have any great amount

"THE CITY AM THE CHURCH" "
Sermon Of the Rev. Mr.. Stephens of
the Simpson Memorial Church.

The Rev. John Stephens of Simpson
Memorial Church preached on the sub
ject of THE City and the Church" last
evening. A good-sized audience listened
to the earnest address of the pastor. He
spoke in part as follows:
The evangelization of the city is the greatest
problem that confronts the Christian church
to-day. The tendency in modern times is to,
ward large increase in urban populations ana
a corresponding slowness OF development IN
rural districts. Throughout the entire world
a tide OF population seems 10 be flowing toward
the great centers. This has been produced
through industrial and social changes that
could not be resisted. This has given the city
even larger place in the nations affairs than
It has held in the past, and the Christianiza-
tion Of the nation has become to large extent
a question OF the evasgelization of the cities.
The church in this city has been keeping pace
in its growth with the increase of the popula-
ton but II has not been gaining upon the city 5
development. There are encouraging signs OF
healthful public sentiment In this community.
The successful protests OF the public, as eX-
pressed through daily journals, against the
rambling mania and fragrant vice presented
on the stage are good omens for the future.

DR.. Bazet Formulates a New Plan to
be Submitted to the Board
of SUnerViSOrS

DE- L. Bazet, one Of the members of the
retiring Board of Health, is now busy per-
fecting his plans for the Capitalization Of
the city receiving hospitals, with a view
to obtain more efficient and economical
service. The proposition will be submitted
to the Health and Police Committee at
their next meeting and action will be
taken on 1t Immediately.
DR.. Bazet has not as yet made his plans
public in regard to the proposed improve
ment but they contemplate a complete re-
organization of the present hospital sys-
tenn. BY concentrating the service it is
believed that better results will be forth
coming.
DR.. Bazet has also in view the adoption
of a new system of disinfecting by a
steam process without injury to the arti-
cles which are submitted to it, and this
will form part of the new hospital serv-
ice.
It is understood that the Mayor and the
Supervisors will cooperate with DR.. Ba-
yet. and that this city will soon have in
operation a perfect system of dealing with
the city's sick.

runs, and their lady admirers for a
moment breathed the sweet scent of
victory. but from that on they held
their parasols toward the field, so that
their tears of modification might not
be seen by the 'horrid girls" on the
other side of the field.
At the end of the fifth ining the
game was drawn to a close. and Joe
OBrien~ who had alternated with All
Hampton in the capacity of umpire
tore off his scarlet sash and murmured
something about passing the Mount
Views up like a white check. The
mascot of the Mount Views. a big
rooster, also hung his head and seemed
very ashamed of his company. Jack
Martin took compassion on the poor
bird and tragically declared that he
would adopt the disgraced hoodoo.
At the close of the game the different
factions for time extended the olive
branch Of peace, and with the utmost
of good form the Mira Monte contin-
gent. besides offering their condo
lences, heard with an air of patronage
their now defeated rivals excuses for
their poor game of ball.

@@HERE has been a great amount
Of rivalry between the guests
Of the Mira Monte and Mount
View hotels for some time up
in Marin County, which led the
men of the latter hotel to challenge
their rivals to a game Of baseball. The
Mount Views are now sorry that they
spoke, as they were defeated yesterday
by a score of IA to 4.
The game was called at 10 a. m. but
long before the appointed hour the la
dies of the Mount View arrived on
the grounds and took up their position
to cheer on their nine good men and
true to victory. They made a very
imposing sight, as they all wore long
streamers OF red ribbons and each
carried a red parasol. A few minutes
after their arrival the guests of Mira
Monte made their parade, and they
made their rivals eyes turn green with
envy, as in the first place they aris-
tOcratically drove up in carriages,
and though the ladies at the latter ho-
tel had not the red parasols they had
each of them a good big fish horn
trimmed with the teams colors of blue
and white. That was the first Waterloo
for the Mount Views. The usual time
was spent in both teams protesting
that the teams were not made up of
the guests of the respective hotels, but
