CAPTAIN Adolph Freitsch, the daring
navigator who crossed the Atlantic alone
in an open boat in 1894, is drawing thou
sands to the Steeplechase at Central
Park. where he is exhibiting his thirty
foot vessel. in which he proposes to make
a trip around the world.

of shining coins knew him not Yester-
day the busy little Italian colony
spoke only "Zocchi." 'Zocchi," and
was doing its utmost to spread abroad
his fame.
Zocchi has been commissioned by the
committee that repres snts the Italian
Mutual Benevolent Society to carve in
marble and granite the monument that
Is to be placed in the center Of the new
Italian cemetery at San Mateo, and
which will be the colony's tender trib-
ute to all who find last resting place
there.
Competition for the honor was keen.
Eight Of the best known local artists
eagerly sought for the prize. but the
anarchist sculptor's work. by unani-
nous vote, was awarded the contract,
that calls for a monument twenty
three feet high resting on a pedestal
fifteen feet square, and for which the
artists emolument is to be $1,000.
When the Italian Benevolent Asso-
citation purchased it's cemetery lot at
San Mateo President Ravenna essayed,
by general subscription, to raise a fund
for a monument. Money, however.
was coming In but slowly when j. F.
Fugazi, with characteristic generosity,

allen, but unlike the actress. made no ef-
fort to suppress them. 'Humbug" will
continue through the week
The San Francisco call., 1899-04-11

The meeting of the State Board of
Trade this afternoon promises to be more
than ordinarily interesting. The princi-
pal matter to be discussed is that of ir-
rigation. For weeks past the president,
General Chapman, has been making a
study Of this subject. and he is now
with a report containing much
valuable information.

offered to bear the entire expense of
the monument. Artists were notified
and asked to submit designs. Friday
last eight designs were submitted and
a note received from Zocchi asking the
committee to call and view a clay
model of the proposed monument he
desired to submit.
In little hoVel on Vallejo street, be
tween Sansome and Battery, in a tiny
dark room that answered for both liv-
ing room and studio, Zocchi received
the monument committee. In a, shad-
owy corner the model stood-a model
that filled the committee with delight
and wonder and made each man turn
round and congratulate his neighbor.
The work pleased on account of the
originality of the design, its tender, ex-
Quisite beauty and the rare art shown
in the modelling Of the angel of death,
who stands at the right of the heaven
piercing shaft
Zocchi will Immediately begin his
work. and as soon as the monument is
completed it will be placed in the new
Italian cemetery.
The committee to whom the work of
selecting the winning design was in
trusted consisted of J. F. Fugazi, DR..
Pescia, G.. Almagia of L'Italia, F. Pc
dretti of La Voce, ex-senator c. Pal
mieri and G.. Costa.
Zocchi, the sculptor, is a graduate of
the Academy of Art OF Milan, aud is
said TO be as fine a musician and poet
as he is an artist. His association
with the little band of harmless local
anarchists has been altogether a pas
siye one. His anarchistio theories are
not those usually attributed to the an
archist, but rather the broad, generous
theories of universal brotherhood

until the next regular meeting, April "a
The Commissioners had sent series

Fourth Street.
The revival meetings being conducted
at the several Methodist churches are
increasing In attendance. and will con-
tlnuc until next week. This Is the sea-
son for IN awakening OF religious spIr-
It. and Its manifestation Is apparent in
the crowded churches. The meetings
at Fourth street church are in charge
OF Mrs. Lizzie Smith, an evangelist OF
New Jersey. and there was not u vacant
pew last night.
Mrs. Smith Is splendid speaker.
possessing clear resonant voice and
an enthusiasm that holds her hearers
spell bound. Last night she spoke ut
someslength. In telling OF her CONVEX
sion some; thirty years ago. Previous
10 that time she had considered herself
Christian, but pride and fear OF
worldly criticism kept her from humb-
ling herself before the altar OF ackaowl-
edged repentance. Her conversion &C.
Cured at camp meeting, and Mrs.
Smith very graphically described her
subsequent feelings OF JOY and peace.
Mrs. Smith will conduct this weeks
series Of meetings. and no doubt her
efforts will be rewarded With further

Revival services have been in pro-
gross at Wesley NJ. E. church for the
past two weeks, and will continue dur
Ing the present week and perhaps lon
ger. There Is an increasing interest at
every service. The church membership,
those who attend, are being greatly re-
vived.
Rev. S. P. Crummitt. the pastor,
preached n powerful sermon yesterday
morning from the words. did ye re-
celve the Holy Ghost. when we believ-
cd?" 1t was strong argument for the
religion that comes from the reception
Of the third person Of the Trinity into
our hearts and lives. There are too
many persons to-day who have never
been endowed with power If the
whole church membership was filled
with Holy Ghost, the strongholds OF
Satan would be shaken from the center
to circumference of Wheeling. AS on
the day Of Pcntecost the overflow
would reach far outside the church. A
very large congregation listened to an
other good sermon at night. At the
close an altar service was held.

Yesterday Afternoon Well Attended.
Hcv.J. i. NIillcn's Address.
Rev. J. r. Millcn. Of Scranton. Pa,
United Presbyterian minister who was
a professor in n southern college for
coiored students until falling health
compelled him to retire. and now visit
Ing DR.. D. B. Best, was the speaker at
the mems meeting at the Y. NJ. C. a.
yesterday afternoon.
Rev. Mr.. Millcn spoke on Liberty"
ms pertaining to the souls thralldom In
sin, and his remarks were pointed and
forceful. He said all freedom was
freedom only because 1t was governed
by law, and so soon as the agent dis
obeyed that law Its freedom ceased to
exist. 1t was u common smile to say
as free as the air" but the air obcyed
natures laws. The babbling mountain
rill did not chafe under its restrictions
but went singing on Its journey to the
sea. and the screaming locomotive en-
CINE tore along In triumph until It
jumped the truck, when it then became
a helpless heap Of debris piled over the
cmbankmcnt.
1t was this jumping the track"
which sacrificed mans freedom, said
Rev. Mr.. Millen. and the disobedIent
servant Of God likewise Is not free
when he falls to obey His laws. The
drunkard nor any sinner Is not a free
man. There can be no freedom with
out law, and license Is not liberty. The
speaker hoped men would loose their
bondagcS OF sin and become free men,
which they hest could do by conforming
with the laws handed down for them to

NOW HE'S SORRY.
The Unusual Experience Of Wheel.
inS's Chicfof Police.


Police Captain Bennett was "held up
last night Quite an unusual proceed
ing for police officer to undergo. The
hold up" was not one of those stand
and deliver brands, nor any forced
transfer of money on the public high
way.
4 hold UP has come to mean also
that operation where one of the parties
is gentleman Of leisure, who halls
the passing citizen with more or less
demonstra,ivc plea for Il nickel for q
meal. or maybe It's Cant you do some
thing FOR n fellow"
The latter was the request which
greeted Captain Benefits ears last
night as he strolled along Market street,
and the effect of the request was height
ened when the burly stranger grabbed
the captains arm. IvheelIng's chief o.
police Is always ready TO accommodate
the clty's guests.
Can you o. something for fellow"
repeated the hobo as his grip on the
captains :houlder frightened.
Certainly" responded Captain Ben
