SALVATION ARMY
PROVIDES DINNERS
Christmas Baskets Are Passed
Out TO Long Line of Ex=
peCtant People
Fully Five Thousand Hearts
Are GIaddened by the
Charitable Work

long line of eXpectant and eager
men, women and children was at the
headquarters of the Salvation Army,
1467 Market street, yesterday, when
more than 1000 baskets containing food
articles necessary for a Christmas din
ner were passed out to San Francisco's
worthy poor Fully 5000 hearts we're
gladdened by Colonel Charles Miles,
Brigadier William Hunter and Major
and Mrs. Joseph McFee, who had charge
Of the passing out of the dinner bas-
kets.
Each basket contained good sized
chicken, sack of flour potatoes. canned
and fresh fruit, rice. nuts, candy, bread,
sugar, coffee, apples and canned milk.
The chickens were dressed Wednesday
and great care was taken to secure the
best quality of meats and vegetables.
AS might be expected there were many
pathetic scenes yesterday afternoon
when the men and women of the SAL
vation Army gave out the dinner bas-
kets.
Salvation Army members began their
work of Investigating the conditions of
the city's poor more than month ago,
and tickets were issued to every worthy
! family Those who were unable to
come TO the army headquarters for
their Christmas dinner basket will not
/ lose their meal, for provisions have
been made to deliver the baskets to
the homes of those who, by reason of
sickness or disability could not call
/ themselves.
Last evening the children of the poor
were entertained in the rooms of the
Salvation Army in three different sec
tions of the city. At Post and Fillmore,
24OO Mission and at Sacramento and
dupont streets Christmas trees were
decorated with presents which were
| given to the little ones Candy, fruit
and toys were among the presents
given by a genial faced Santa Claus in
each place in addition to clothing and
shoes. Entertainments consisting OF
moving pictures, music Punch and
Judy shows and other features of es-
pecial interest TO children were held in
the different Salvation Army posts last

CHRISTMAS TREE
FAIRY SPECTACLE
Throngs Delighted With Id
genius Display Seen at St.
Francis Hotel
Santa Claus Riding on Miniature
Train Brings Presents
for Little Ones

Riding aloft on the front engine of
double header with eight cars in
the rear. Santa Claus yesterday after
noon guided miniature train, full of
good things for the little ones, from
the great fireplace of the st. Francis
hotel to the platform or giant Christ
mas tree brought from Muir woods.
The coming of the benevolent old man
was received with cheers by hundreds
of old folks and young. AT the same
moment an electric button was pressed
by Manager James Woods and 1900
lights diamonding the lofty tree, were
turned on. Admiration was not con-
fined to the wondering gaze Of the little
folks. Applause broke out in genuine
enthusiasm from hundreds of men and
voted the most elaborate ever raised
in the city.
There is nothing which engineering
ingenuity, a knowledge of the infant
mind, coupled with disposition to dis
regard expense, could further suggest
in the way of adornment. The features
are innumerable, and in their multi
plicity escape the casual onlooker.
The tree was designed and decorated
by C. G. Hightower. for several years
superintendent of the Union iron works,
now chief engineer of the st. Francis.
1t is 3S feet high and % feet in diane
ter It took six days and nights to
prepare it, large squad of Hightow-
er's assistants working increasingly. All
the decorations familiar to the
Christmas tree have been placed
thereon in myriad profusion.
The railroad, however, with its two
engines and eight cars, full of gifts,
which runs about the tree with full
complement Of telegraph poles, sema-
phores and signal towers, is the star
attraction. There is saw mill, laun-
dry, a knitting machine. a sausage ma
chine and a Dutch windmill, all in ac-
tive operation, a small marine engine
built at the Union iron works, affording
the motor power.
The only gift on the tree is full
outfit of clothing. presented personally
/ by Woods to little Peter Walsh. the
newsboy who stands in front of the
hotel. The presentation will be made
today at 2:30 O'Clock, and large num-
Der OF newsboys will be present.
An elephant. standing five feet high
is another feature. 1t is in charge OF
Mahout Forrest Handy, whose father
an old sea captain. perished in the
wreck OF the Valencia. The little tots
visiting the hotel during the week vii
be given a ride about the lobby on the
elephants back.
The management has invited all the
children of the city to take a peep a.
