Mr.. Parke is its president. It has the
second floor of q building on Powell
street on the northern edge Of Chinatown
for its quarters, and here once a week
meetings are held at which about 300
members gather and Mr.. Parke presides.
While this parlor has been in existence
for three years, 1t has only been recently
that the management has aroused TO a
definite purpose Of going into politics.
The first conception was to identify and
secure the assemblage OF the American
born Chinese, then get them acquainted
with the organization as an instrument Of
fraternal amalgamation The parlor
therefore undertook to procure employ
ment for idle members; to assist members
who were in poverty, TO comfort the siok
and bury the dead; in short to distribute
as much brotherhood among themselves
as the limited funds OF the affair. raised
from contributions of membership fees,
would allow. Alongside Of this quality Of

Parke's father not only does nothing. but
Is nothing in the estimation Of his up-to-
date offspring. The Chinese-American
has left at right angles that traditional
influence which is the heart OF the Asi-
attic religion, namely. the worship OF an
cestors. He has developed a capacity that
is pre-eminently American-that of look
ing at things as they are-and even
though such object may be the author OF
his being he is not swerved by any false
notions concerning IT.
In brief, the whole ganglion Of Confu-
clan precepts and postulates, with Its
joss houses, rice papers and combusttble
prayers, has been thrown overheard by
Mr.. Parke, who Is not only not a pagan
but is a Presbyterian Of the full-fedged,
dry-wine type, who chants hymns. reads
Scripture and has morals as straight as
the tight string on a plumb bob.
In fact, Mr.. Parke is by profession a
teacher and is now about to open a Pres
byterian mission day school in China
town, through which he will teach the
future disciples Of his political guidance
the linguistic tntricacies and idioms Of the
English primer. and the trick Of comput-
ing numerals with fln-de-siecle lead-pencil
facility. The presence of such character
in the practical politics Of San Francisco
is certainly as extraordinary as the ag-
gregation which he heads, and he embod-
les a parsonage very different from what
would commonly be expected to surge to
the fore in such q movement.
Mr. Parke was the first Chinese to
graduate from a grammar school Of San
Francisco, his alma mater Of this grade
being the Lincoln Grammar School, whose
examination he passed in 1892. There
have only been three Chinese graduates
from grammar schools in tho city since,
and they both evolved this year; two Of
these passed from the Washington Gram
mar and one from the Claremont School.

was put up in the middle Of Fifth ave-
nue., the basement Of Madison Square
Garden was turned into great and
interesting workshop. 1t was there
that the sculptors' models were to be
enlarged from small clay images into
heroic figures ready for position on
the arch. From twenty to sixty men
were employed in this work and their
manner of going at it was strange TO
the layman's eye. First of all a small
square frame was put over the artist S
model. This was notched by inches
and from each notch a plumb line of
black thread was dropped until 1t
struck some important point on the
model itself. After these had been
larger square frame was built and
hung at a height somewhat above the
point where the completed statue was
to reach From this plumb lines ex-
actly corresponding to the little ones
hanging from the smaller square were
dropped and these marked the relative
positions Of the measured points in
the larger statue.
There was no chipping of marble,
no delicate chiseling with fine tools
in this vast sculptors' studio. The
mass of the figures was built up Of
common excelsior dipped in plaster.
White spattered workmen piled hand
full upon handful of this crude mate
rial up until 1t approximated the shape
of the figure to be initiated. After
this was accomplished they took any
road to Rome. With chisels and knives

full as well as an enthusiastic occasion.
"All this has another significance,
Mr. Ward said. He was hard at work
on the touches needed to finish his
great group. His years sit lightly on
him. The tale of time told by his gray
hair and pointed white beard is belied
by the athletic lines of his active fig
ure. He is no plush-jacketed sculptor
dabbling daintily. He wore a white,
clay-spattered undershirt that day, and
his trousers were the overalls of the
hard working hod-carrier. He profess
edly was pleased with all parts of life
except his own group (Which stood in
brown, shining clay behind him on a
turning standard), and modesty alone
made him slight the merits of that.
Two assistants were working with the
mud which filled the great clay chest
in one corner of the enormous room,
and they were visibly proud of their
master and Of his work
