With Eastern Experiences
ADDRESS ON SCHILLER
Rev. H. Maar Speaks Of
Germany's Revered Poet
Before Body of Clergy

ST wish people of San Francisco who
think the missionary has good time
could see his work." said H. E. Bost-
wick, a Iayman, before the Presbyter-
ian Ministers Union yesterday morn
ing.
Bostwick had especial reference to the
work in Korea. which he had an OPP
portunity Of studying while on a. visit
to that country.
He told the ministers that from what
he had seen he was convinced that edu-
cation must follow evangehstic work
and especially was this the case with
the Koreans, whose lives and peculiar
tiles he described.
He told of the Emperor Of Korea be-
ing constantly around the Embassies
for protection. He was a weak man.
The narrator informed his audience
that when his Majesty is occupied
teaching his dancing girls new dance
he must not be disturbed and his call
ers must await his pleasure.
Describing a royal Korean funeral,
Bostwick declared that the three days
rehearsal for the mournful ceremony
was of such magnitude that If he could
see it P. T. Barnum would turn over
in his grave.
Then he gave an account of the life
and the hard toiling. unselfish labors
of the missionary and paid high
compliment to Missionary Miller of San
Francisco, who is doing yeoman work
on the missionary field.
The recall of DIR. H. n. Allen as Unit
ed States Minister to Korea had caused
much surprise and protest on the part
of the people, said Bostwick.
The people, he said, did not wish a
change, as the doctor was accomplish
ing his duties in so efficient a manner
that they would not have desired the
angel Gabriel to have taken his place"
The Rev. II. w. Harbaugh questioned
Bostwick as to the comparative civili-
zation of Korea and Japan and the
answer was that the work of Japan
for civilization was far superior to that
of Korea. Hopes, indeed, were enter
tanned that Japan would bring Korea
to better state of things" Mission
airy work in Korea. said Bostwick,
would go along with the fostering care
of Japan. In Japan. he said, there
was religious liberty and he would
prefer Japan's paganism to the So
called Christianity of Russia.
Schiller was the subject of an ad-
dress by the Rev. III. Maar before the
Congregational Ministers Club yester-
day.
The Rev. Mr.. Maar is a German and
his sentiments were those of an en-
thusiastic admirer cf the great poet
The masterful address was greatly APP

CENTER OF POPULATION
is DRIFTING EASTWARD
Movement Toward the Atlantic Is
Greater Than That to the
West.


WASHINGTON, May 8.-Popula-
ton experts of the census bureau are
inclined to the belief that the center
of population of the United States.
which has travelled westward steadily
since the foundation of the republic,
has turned and Is now headed east
ward. If this be true, the fact is of
interest as indicating that the move
ment of the population toward the
East and Southeast is greater than the
movement toward the West. 1t is ex-
pected that the censuses to be taken in
dozen States during May and June
will throw light on the present loca-
ton Of the center of population, which
the census Of 1900 placed six miles
southeast of Columbus, Ind.
Because of the increase of popula-
ton in Eastern cities, especially New
York, the steady trend of growth in
the Southeastern Atlantic seaboard
States, the population experts have
formed the opinion that il there is a
westward movement of the center it is
very slight and that if it's direction
has not been reversed there is a pos
sibility that it will be before the end
Of the present decade. The only fact
which they find to combat this theory
is the rapid growth of population in
the State of Washington, which off,
sets much larger growth in Eastern
States

THANK JUDGE GRAHAM FOR
BRINGING THEM TOGETHER
Mr.. and Mrs. Murray Are Grateful to
Court for Restoring Their
Broken Home.

Several weeks ago a petition was
fled in the Superior Court asking that
a guardian be appointed for the four
children of William F. and Margaret
Murray. 1t was alleged that the par
ents had quarreled and separated and
the children were not properly cared
for.
Judge Graham summoned the par
ents before him and pointed out what
he believed to be their duty. A recon-
ciliauon was effected and the parents
promised to care for and educate their
children. The petition for letters Of
guardianship was then dismissed.
Yesterday Mr.. and Mrs. Murray, ac-
companied by their little ones, all of
them dressed well and apparently in
good circumstances, entered Judge
Graham's chambers and asked for
permission to see the Judge. They
were given the permission and Mr..
Murray said that he and his family
had come to thank the court for what
1t had done for them.
Since taking your advice" said
Murray, fortune has smiled upon us.
We are now in comfortable circum-
stances. We feel that your Honor has
saved US from permanent separation. -

UNITED ROADS
PLANS HALTED
Supervisors Think Franchise
Necessary to Build Turn
table and Connect Roads
COMPANY SEEKS PERMIT
Board Receives Petition for
Safety Station at Larkin,
Hayes and Market Streets

The United Railroads wants to con-
struct a turntable at the end of its
Pacilic-avenue line and has also
planned to build curves from Jackson
and Washington streets to connect that
double-street system with the Polk
street road. Operation and service
would be greatly facilitated and in
every way the improvement Is much
desired.
But out in the City Hall there is a
clash among the powers as to who has
the right to give the municipalities per-
mission to the tearing upsof the streets
that the work might be done. The
company filed its petition for a permit
with the Board of Public Works. Yes
terday came the Board of Supervisors,
with Supervisor Braunhart hotfoot in
his purpose, with the contention that
what the corporation seeks is a fran
chise grant and therefore the board
alone has the authority to issue such
permits on behalf of the city.
Braunhart introduced a resolution
that was passed calling on the City
and County Attorney to designate Of
hcially which department has the say
in giving permits to the street-car cor
poration.
Property owners filed a petition yes
terday that safety station be erected
within the triangle formed by the
tracks of the Market, Hayes and Lar
kin streets car lines at the junction
of the streets. The petition was re-
ferred to- the Finance Committee.
The sum of $3.50 was set aside to
complete the plans for the building of
the Washington Grammar and the
Croker Grammar school buildings.
The sum Of $2750 was ordered paid
TO w. j. Hawkins as the purchase price
for the lot adjoining the Croker Gram
mar School.
The sum of $3.50 was set aside to in
vestigate the available sources of water
supply for the city.

Eighty-two years of age, Mrs. Coffey
made a picture of mental and physical
vitality that will not be forgotten by
those who saw her. Colonel Coffey was
Andrew Jackson; Mrs. Coffey a grand
niece of the same. Her speech was re-
warded with three rousing cheers, the
only compliment of it's kind paid dur
ing the feast. Tokens of the day were
distributed to each in the way of small

added much TO the general enjoyment.

WORES SHOWS

GREAT BEAUTY

Theodore Wores has brought Samoa

To be literal, he has brought them to

the falls at Vailima, beloved of the
gentle Stevenson.
Lasciviously luxuriant is the back
ground of this picture-exquisitely
sensuous the sentiment. And such
poses of the bathers, fashioned like
Greek goddesses. These are alone
worth a visit to the Gump galleries
Besides this famously interesting
canvas there are thirty-e others
each a gem of color and concentration
of tropic sentiment.
1t is the superb color-sense that in
dividualizes Wores.
A good draughtsman, with the me-
chanisms of his art artfully concealed,
he dares paint the gorgeous colorings
that God has dared to put into his
f1owers-that is Wores. THE Flaming
Ponciana' is notable example of his
power to paint living color
Although yesterday was the opening
day of the exhibition, three pictures
were Soda commentary upon the
taste of the purchasers who. be it
known, are all San Franciscans.
This exhibition of Wores will mark
the revival of the high colorists, of
which San Francisco to-day has too
few, the low-tone men having Won all
the honors hereabouts for many moons.
Perhaps, after seeing the fine dash
of the returned Westerner-who. by
the way, has exhibited with success
beside the biggest men in Paris, Ber-
lin, Munich, London, and in New York
the local art folk will pluck up cour-
age and paint glad things In the glad
garb that God gave to it.
This is what Wores does-and does 1t
superbly.
