THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SUNDAY, MARCH 31, 1895 INFORMATION FOR NTERIOR PLACES. THE HALF-MILLION CLUB PROM- ISES TO GIVE OUT FACTS FOR PUBLICATION. MONEY FOR THE GOOD CAUSE. CoLLECTIONS ~ WILL BE MADE ORROW AND THE PLAN oN OUTLINED. The Half-million Club is not waiting for any other organization to bring home in- dustry to the front. It is the purpose of the club to push all industries of whatever nature, regardless of protests from si- lurians. With thisend in view it has established a bureau of information, which will sup- ply the interior towns ot the State with all the information that the people desire. In order that the interior press may realize the importance of the movement and know where their authority emanates the following letter has been sent: ¥ CITIZENS' COMMITTEE, , room §1. h 29, 189 Editor I Francisco ress and publi iastically support- ng the excursion, which will bring Northern I8 ,Southern Celifornia and the East 1 I intimacy, snd as we hope to draw many visitors from the South and t o Northern California we ask that you commend the excursion enterprise and thus aid in the great work of S unity.

From time to time we will mail you matters of in- terest relating to the excursion, and will be ou letters for unity, progress and Yourstruly, W. 3. BUNKER, Chairman Citizens' Committee. This letter has been sent to all the papers published in the towns on the lines to be visited by the tourists. Napa editors will receive the letter, but it will not be needed there, as the mass-meeting of Friday night in that city decided to have the visitors come to their preity city, view the scenery, taste the wines, see the fruits and learn something at transportation from the {\gnple, and obtain an idea of what country ife in the valleys of California means. That there may be no question as to the feeling of the people in this matter, H. J. Crocker called upon Secretary Davis of the club yesterday and asked what should be done_ with the cash raised by individual members of the finance committee. Mr. Davis said the only way he knew of dis- posing of such funds was to turn them over to H. P. Sonntag, chairman of the committee. I understand it, the com- mittee will begin to receive funds on Mon- day. I have not seen Mr. Sonntag this afternoon, but if he is ready to take the cash T have some $500 to deliver,”” said Mr. Crocker. He is not the only one who has secured funds to advance the interests of the State and assist in the entertainment of the people who will come here. As far as the merchants are concerned, this is a sample expression of their general feeling: SAN FRANCISCO, March 29, 1895. A. R.Castle , Secretary Half-million Club, —DEAR SIR: 1 have received your invita- tion to be present ata meeting of the Half- million Club, 1o be held on March 27, but on account of absence from the city I could not be Ppresent. Tam heartily in sympathy with the of vour organization and unite with you in your wor as may be necessar: The only thing that San Francisco has lacked has been enterprise in its bnsiness men. There is nocity in the world that has as great natural advantages, bul e business men have relied upon these natural advantages without putting forth their individual effortsto improve the condition of s and the consequence has been that eve: s Angeles, Portland, Or., and Seattie have i huildin, t and I doubt whether there is & city in the United States to-day where business is in a more depressed condition than in this city. We must be up and doing, and we are bound to place our city in_the rank to which it is en- titled. Yours truly, F. A. BERLIN. All the matters pertaining to the session of the club and future welfare of-the city, as well as the enjoyment of the State ex- cursion, will be taken care of at the meet- ing to-morrow afternoon by the finance committee, which will make definite ar- rangements for the collection of funds. David Rich, the broker, at 238 Montgom- ery street, has returned from New York. He called upon the club and stated the movement which has taken such force here is known in the East, and that manu- facturers there are preparing to take active steps to hold their trade in California. He is a believer in the patronage of home in- urposes all be pleased to in such manner dustries and thinks that the proposed ex- | cursion will bring people here who will | realize the importance of the movement and back it substantially. The Southern Pacific’ bas taken up the advance movement. On that account the suburban train service between San Fran- cisco and Fruitvale will on Monday be ex- tended to Haywards. Word has been received from Los An- geles that arrangements have been com- vleted for seating 8000 people at the games to be held during the fiesta. 5 The work of the Half-million Club is be- ing backed by ali classes. Even the sport- ing element has taken up the matter, as is verified by the following editorial from the California Turf: : The Half-million Club of San Franciscois now firmly established as s business undertak- ing and it becomes the duty of every good Citi- zen to lend'his efforts to the object 1o view, re- membering that such will be best attained, not by the simple method of Inducing stran: gers {o come direct to the city and take up their residenca tberein, but by adverti<ing the vast resources of the Siate of California, and thus creating and forming new and natural feeders for the metropolis of this western country. The California Turl is with the founders of the club heart and soul. The following names were enrolled yes- terday: Henry C. Wise, James C. Jordan. David Rich, Mark L. Stone, C. B. Putnam, CharlesJ. King. 5 The following dispatch was received in this city vesterday: To the Half-million Club: The Visalia Board of Trade extends a cordial invitation to the Half- million Club of San Francisco tostop at Visalia on their way to attend ihe fiesta at Los Angeles on or- return therefrom. We can show you a country that will be vastly benefited by the building of the valley road,and it will be a pleasyre to the members of the board to show you the. orchards, alfalis fields and wheat Tanches in this vicinity. We claim to have the most productive land in the State, and are per- fectly willing to have it contrasted with the fruitful soil of our southern nelgflmrs. 8. F.

A correspondent writes: “Thesomewhat undignified ruse whereby Mr. Chamber- laid avoided recording his vote last week has its le!el in the history of the Irish House of Commons during the discussion on the Union. The incident is thus re- corded by Sir Jonah Barrington, who was 2 member of the: Irish Parliament at the time, and an eye-witness of the scene: Luke. Fox, a barrister of very humble origin, of vulgar manners and of a coarse, harsh appearance, was endowed with a clear, strong and acute mind and was m— sessed of much cunning. * * % He | nie Denekamp, lot on v originally professed what is called Whig- is * % % His progress was impeded by no political principles, but he kept his own secrets well. * * * Tord Ely (a rot- ten borough owner), perceiving he was man- able, returned him to Parliament asone of his own automata, and Mr. Fox played his part very much to the satisfac- tion of his manager. When the Union was announced,Lord Ely had not made his term (with the castle), and remained long in abeyance, and as his Lordship had not is- sued his orders to Mr. Fox, he was very unwilling to commit himself until he conld dive deeper into probabilities, but rather believing the opposition would have the majority, he remained in the body of the House with the Anti-Unionists when the division took place. The doors were scarcely locked when he became alarmed, and slunk unperceived into one of the dark cor- ridors, where he concealed himself. He was, however, discovered, and the Sergeant- at-Arms was ordered to bring him forth to be counted among the Anti-Unionists. His coufusion was very great and he seemed at his wits’ end. At length he declared he had taken advantage of the Place bill, had ac- tually accepted a nominal office, and had thereby vacated his seat and could not vote. * * * It was subsequently discoy- ered by the public records that Mr. Fox’s assertion was false, ‘ =Mr. Fox iven a Eudge:«hip for his ““Union services,” which he was compelled to resign some years subsequently on the eve of an address by Throne for his dismissal from the bench for misconduct. Mr. Fox’s patron, Lord Ely, “made terms.” He became an Irish marquess, a peer of the United Kingdom, and obtained £45,000 out of the public Parliament to the | ALANEDAS 600D GOVERNMENT CLUB, THE ORGANIZATION IS KNOWN] FroM END TO END OF THE CONTINENT. A POWER ACROSS THE BAY. Two-THIRDS OF THE VOTERS IN THE PEACEFUL SUBURB ARE MEMBERS. The Good Government Club of Alameda is enjoying something more than local fame. Not only has it claimed the atten- | tion of the resident voter, but requests for information about it have been received from many of the largest cities of the East. Colonel George Babcock, president of the | club, has thus far answered inquiries con- | cerning the club and its objects from the | National Municipal League of Phila- $5 and said he would call the next day. ‘When Dr. Pill called the next day the filial son met him as he was leavingand re- marked to the doctor that he might have been a little balmy the night before. “You gave me §10,” said the doctor, “and I gave you §5 back.” Yes, I remember,’” repl: the son, “butdo you think another v will be necessary ?” “Weil,” answered the doctor, “I think I ought to call to-morrow.” “Well, yes,” said the son, “that will be three calls—$4 50" “The first visit,” said Dr. Pill, “was late at night, and that will be $2. For the visit to-day I will charge $150, and the third call, to-morrow, will make just $5.” The filial son looked sad and musingly remarked: ‘“Well, doctor, Yyou area fearful fellow at addition.”—Wor- cester (Mass.)

After the call the ‘| doctor met the son, and said he | St, Louis, S8an Francisco, Los Angeles and | Santa Cruz. The requests were all of the same tenor, and particularly asked for printed information regarding the or- ganization and its objects. | The club was organized on the 25th of | | January, 1895, by the election of Colonel George Babcock president; J. G. Wall, | first vice-president; Green Majors, second | ce-president; J. R. Knowland and G. A, Montell, secretaries, and Harry Sevening, | treasurer. At the meeting articles of in corporation were adopted, setting forth clearly and briefly the objects of the club and its methods of political action. The right to membership was made so broad | as to include any voter residing in the city by signing the following declaration: | For the purpose of effecting the nomination | and election of honest and capable men to con- | duct our municipal offices, and thereby secur- ing an economical ‘and clean administration of our city government, the undersigned, irre- ive of former political affiliation, hereby | associate ourselves together for these purpos uuder the name of the Good Government Club of Alameda. | At the last meeting of the club before | the nominating convention was held the | total membership was 1694, about Itw_u— tis, therefore, safe to say that never before was | there such a spontaneous movement of the people of that city for political pur- | poses, nor ever a political club organized prising so large a number of influen- | tial and progressive citizens. It was not the result of political agitation or excite- ment, but the logical result of the intelli- | gent and deliberate determination of the | people to take control of the primary elec- | tions and place candidates on the munici- | pal ticket. | The executive committee, consisting of | one representatives from each of the nine precincts, prepared alphabetical lists of all the names and residences of the mem- bers of the club and printed a ticket con- | taining the names of all the candidates for | nomination. The alphabetical list was sent to each candidate and each member of the executive committee. The arrangements for the convention were complete. Everything done was in the open. The nominating convention was held in Linderman Opera-house be- tween the hours of 3 and 10 ». M. The body of the hall was for the use of voters, and on the stage were arranged six ballot- boxes on tables, at each of which sat two check clerks and one receiver of ballots. At the first table the check clerks were | furnished with an alphabetical list contain- ing the names of those commencing with A, BorC, and so on as to the other boxes, each voting-place being conspicuously marked by lette: In tgis way the 1694 names were segregated into very neariy six equal divisions, each division having a separate voting-place. On the stage in the rear of the ballot-boxes were three judges appointed by the executive commit- tee to whom all questions in dispute were referred. The polls closed at 10 o’clock, and at this time were appointed six additional members of the election board, one to each ballot-box, to see that no mistakes were | made in culling the names from the ticket, | to be tallied by the clerks. Each precinct, s0 to speak, counted and tallied its votes separately. When all the precincts were thus disposed of the result was entered upon one general tally-sheet and sum- marized, thus giving without any doubt the honest result of the convention. The orifln of the movement was in the Veteran Republican Club. It has met with the approval of the citizens of Ala- meda, irrespective of party, on account of its novel solution of many difficulties. The expenses of the club were met by voluntary subscription, as the constitution especially provides that no assessment shall be made upon members. A GEORGIA ¥OLK SONG.

Liberal in His Cups. : Dr. Pill was called up on one of the re- cent cold nights to see a sick woman. He met the woman’s son outside, when he drove up, and, to show his filial regard, the son whispered to the doctor that he should not take any money from his mother if she should tender payment. On second thought the filial son said he would pay enough in advance to cover all visits, so he handed out a tenner. Being a doctor thought he had paid too much, as it would not be necessary to call more than two or three times. He accordingly handed back s | one who has fourd the key. | edged riv. ially the Parliamentary; this is positive; it has a beginning and an end; and it is good humored from begin- ning to end; trial of skill, trial of stamina; nature and art; Old English; which made us what we are; and no rancors, no vows of vengeance ; the beaten man of the two bowing to the bit of history he has helped to make.

Cheers for the first blow.— G eorge Meredith, in the April Scribner. Worth. If all the stories told of the first inter national arbiter of fashion were gathered together, the book would be a wonderful record of the elegance of nations. Worth has laid down a scepter which no man can take up. There are three or four rival makers of modes in republican Paris now- adays, who care not_for his royal and im- perial traditions. ~Democracies are un- grateful, and the days when an Empress took from Worth hinis equal to commands have long passed away. A Worth costume bas never failed of cachet, but for several years past not all travelers to Paris have felt it necessary to have a Worth or none. Names equally powerful and authoritative have appeared upon the bodice belts of the ladies of all nations. From Boston to Buenos Ayres, from Maine to Mexico, from Berlin to Bagdad, from Tokio to Tientsin, the radiance of other influences has shone. But Worth was for many years a fixed star, outshining all others with a brilliancy that knew no acknowl- _It was his generalship which led erino- line to conquer the world a quarter of a century ago. When a terrible rumor sgread over Christendom a few years ago that it was coming back in its old form and agitated reformers and legislators be- gan huddling in frightened hordes to Teady to battle with the invaderd did not quail. No. He merel shall make no gowns to be worn with hoop- skirts.” Instantly peace fell upon the troubled nations of the earth. His I was as potent, as imperial as ever. If he had declined to have any traffic with the crinoline, which he did permit, would women all over the world bé wearing hair- cloth as they are to-day? Verily not. The career of Worth proves the value of con- viction. This Englishman knew that the world had need of a Parisian fountain of fashion, so he went, to Paris, and he made money and reputation while following his conviction. He sometimes displayed minor qualities of minor people, but in the main he was a serene leader. And in whatever sphere leadership is exhibited the world respects it. Worth is named_in literature as well as in history. The Empress Eu- genie and numberless heroines of fiction have made his name enduring.—Boston Transcript. e Cornhill a Harvest Field. Itis next to impossible to_think of Corn- hill as a clustering harvest field, yet 1t was famous for the growth of wheat long be- fore the golden grain was brought to a market which had been established upon its gentle siope. Later the hill became the very paradise of tailors—these seem to have migrated to the rival hilis of Holborn. The knights of the goose and shears would have been supremely happy in their loca- tion if it had- not been for the intrusiye impertinences of the neighboring Francis- cans and the insolence of swashbuckler bravos who crossed the hill on_their fre- uent journeys to and from the Tower. &he monks, in the intervals of devotion, were in the habit of exacting alms, not always of money, from the complaisant tailors’ wives; while the soldier bullies di- vided their time between dpu&ng court to the tailors’ daughters and abducting their apprentices. ne of those apprentice lads, who broke his indentures, proved his valor in after years amid scenes where blood flowed like water; and gray Corhhill grows green again with the heroic memory of Sir John awkwood, as also with that of its later, not less illustrious son, the t soldier Grey. All things change; knights and ladies no more crowd Cornhill, its former glories have departed, its present wealth- ier accessories are sober, russet-hued. Where is now its Tun? its Quintain at which men loved to tilt? The stream that rolls down its conduit is golden. Tts standard has been furled forever.—The Gentleman’s Magazine. —— LATEST SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE, P A A A A A e A A s Arrived. SATURDAY, March 30.

At a small railway station in North Wales the station master (who is not noted for his affability of manner) while examin- ing tickets came across a cattle-dealer, well known in the district, who held a season ticket. The station master being aware of this, usually passed bim without | troubling him to show it. On_this oc- casion, however, he ordered him_in a_not very polite manner to produce it, adding ! | in a severe tone, “Mind, I want to see it every time you stop at this station.” Of | course the ticket was produced, examined | and the official passed on, looking very im- | ortant and self-satisfied.

N THE PERFECTION OF YOUTHFUL MAx. hood nature makes a boast of the completencys of her handiwork. In what could she more justly chisel her mar parentage than in the features and form of a fectly sexed and muscled man? Unto man is given the right to represent natur and how heartily we admire a well-develop man, «Dr. Sanden’s Electric Belt cured me after T spent hundreds of dollars for drugs without bene fit,”” writes Walter Boone, Orland, Cal. It men who are weak would siudy the reason ¢ their weakness they wonld know that nothing b Electricity will renew the vital power th wasted. It is evident that nerve force is wha wanted, and science tells us that sexual vigor i nerve force, and nerve force is electricity. Mr. George Cobb of Grass Valley, Cal., has used Dr. Sanden’s Electric Belt for forty days, and writes under date of February 27: “It is t00 bad that so many men spend all their money witlr dis pensaries and quacks and recetve no benefit fro: their treatment, when they can be cured 5o qul and so easily by your Dr. Sanden Electric Belt.” It is the wish of every man to possess the ele- ments of vigorous manhood, and yet how few thers are who thus truthfully represent nature. senger accosted the solitary porter on | and’asked for the station master. “He's in bed, sir,"” replied the porter. “Tell him I want him,” said the pas- | senger. | The porter disappeared, and after some | delay returned, closely followed by the | station master, who was growling at being | brought out of bed in the cold. On going to the carriage he was confronted by his | old friend the cattle-dealer, who handed | him his season ticket, politely asking him to examine it, at the same time reminding | him that he had a few days ago expressed | a wish to see it “‘every time he stopped at the station.”’”—London Weekly Telegraph. : ————— A Professor’s Precocious Son. Latin students of Albion College, Michi- gan, were placed in a very humiliating po- sition Friday. Professor Evaun fell and | broke a rib and was unable to attend his classes. The professor has a son of 13 sum- mers who is taking work in the preparatory | school. When the Ovid class met this rosy cheeked lad, who is small for his age, stepped upon the rostrum, took the profes- sor’s chair and proceeded to call the roll | with the deliberate composure of a vet- eran. When he had finished he quietly re- | marked that his father was unable to be | present and had requested him to take | charge. He asked full explanations of the | most knotty constructions, which one or | two upuer classmen were unable to give, whereupon, much to their embarrassment, | they were set right by the 13-year-old pro- fessor. The boy converses freely in the tongue ot the Cwsars with his father, and when he was but 11 years old he was read- ing the Encyclopedia Britannica. On the evening of the Fourth of July the family were going down town to witness the dis- Elfly of fireworks, and little George cried ecause his parents compelled him to close the encyclopedia and go along.—Chicago Inter-Ocean. e . A late number of the London Echo says: “The English sporting world is likely to be overrun this year by American gam- blers. Several of the American States have passed such strict laws against betting that the owners of racing studs no longer find it profitable to carry on operations in | the Union. So they have sent their studs to this country and to France, to do here what their own land will not permit. It was said this would lead to the immedate degeneration of the American breeding horses, but so far this fear hasnot been realized.” NEW TO-DAY. AN UNCOMMON CIGAR.

It is the weakness of man's will that permits his body to remain undeveloped, owing to early errors, perhaps, or likely to hereditary ‘weakness. 5 Sinee perfect manhood is the work of nature, she must have, or has, the power to replace manhood’s element when wasted by early mistakes. Electricity is the invention of nature. Science proves that the element of life in the nervous, sex- ual and mental organs of man i3 electricity. 1f the vital organs are drained of their force,and the manly vigor is wasted, then electricity will renew it. This is the cause of the wonderful suc- cess of Dr. Sanden’s Electric Belt. MADE HIM AS STRONG AS EVER. «Your Electric Belt has made me as strong as I *writes P.
