Among other invited guests were: W. A. Holcomb, W. H. Dimond, F. W. Dohr- mann, W. B. Harrington, Frank Dalton, A. A. Wilkins, C. C. Ferrill, Hugh Craig, Claus Spreckels, J. D. Spreckels, Frank | Gummer, J. W. Forsyth, H. E. Highton, ‘W. M. Bunker and L. C. McAfee. The members of the club were intro- duced to the visitors, after which President Samuel W. Backus, in a few well-chosen words, welcomed the guestsof the Half- million Club, and explained that the Union League Club was a social as well as a political organization; jthat it is anxious for the aggrandizement of the State. Judge Carpenter of Los Angeles, a mem- ber of the league, explained that the Union | Club was a State organization. Its mem- bership was made up of residents from He said that peo- ple from the East always had pleasant rec- ollections of the places they came from; | that when they located in this State they became Californians in the full sense of the word. The Union Club, he declared, wanted to see the State take up the march of progress, work for good politics and for He said that there were no local jealousies, but all the people were for the whole State, and there was no fear of division of the State, | as the constitution of the United States provides for that. He spoke in stirring terms of the work of the Half-million Cinb. San Francisco, he said, ought to wake up and adopt the enterprise of other commercial cities. He said the San Joaquin Valley road will be built, and the sooner the better. He re- ferred to the necessity of inviting desira- b of welcome this merry morn of May!

He advocated standing by the laws, and if they are not good of having them replaced by better ones. The remarks of the speaker were loudly applauded. General Fredericks of Alameda then made a short address in which he spoke of the efforts of the Half-Million Club as an epoch in the history of the State and the municipality and that it was a move- ment that would result in great benefit to the people of the State. He spoke of the peovle who came from the East and lo- cated in the southern part of the State as those who were quick to grasp the possi- bilities of the place. He said that the State needed more farmers and that the vast individual properties needed cutting up | for desirable immigrants, that the price of land must come down and that laws must be passed to protect those who settle on those lands from the competition of foreign producers. He also said that the harbor of San Francisco should be made the cheapest in the world. In conclusion he said that if the Half-million Club continued as it has commenced the members may by thedawn of the coming century sit down to a ban- quet and congratulate themselves that their work was accomplished. Mr. Patterson of the visitors made a few remarks, thanking the members of the TUnion Club for the kind reception. Those present were then invited to test the quality of Union League Club punch. The visitors will be tendered a reception in the Chamber of Commerce this forenoon and in_the afternoon will be taken in charge by the entertainment committee, of which Alfred Bouvier is chairman, To SAN FRANCIS PosLLATION o] STALL-FED ~ MUSICIANS, How a New York Paper Com- mented on Scheel and His Soloists. The Metropolitan Musical clety Does Not Pay the Pensions. So- Just a month ago Herr Scheel and his chief soloists were the envy of their fellow- musicians all over the country, but to-day such a change has come over the spirit of their dream that there are people who actually commiserate them. It was in March that the Ladies’ Auxil- jary of the Metropolitan Musical Society held an enthusiastic open meeting in the Auditorium for the purpose of keeping Scheel and his soloists in San Francisco. Two hundred and eighteen dollarssa month were pledged—on paper—then and there. The ladies took books to canvass for subscriptions among friends, and within a week the amount promised—on paper—amounted to $366 a month. Then it was announced that Scheel and his soloists would be pensioned all sum- mer to induce them to remain till the winter season. This news was received coldly by musicians who were not being pensioned, and the boundless generosity of San Francisco toward foreign soloists was discussed at home and abroad. A recent issue of the New York Musical Courier said: A missionary spirit ‘has been aroused in San Francisco among socicty ladies 1o raise money enough to tide Scheel and a dozen or so of lo]o-[ulayers over the YACUOUS SUMmMEr Season. We learn that this worthy object has been assured. These gentlemen will not be com- lled to go away to forage on pastures new, St il o saliicd a6 1 wees doring the summer drought, and ready for iext winter's campaign. It was at the beg inning of April that the stall-feeding process was expected to com- mence, but April has come and_gone and no money has come from the Metropoli- tan Musical Society to gladden the hearts of Scheel and his soloists. The conductor gave the following list of persons whom e considered essential to his orchestra: Joseph Reitter, French-horn player; Karl Dirke, pianist_and hom-pln!er; Rodermann, flute-player; Karl Grienauer, ’celloist; Concert- master Marquardt and Mrs. Marquardt, harpist; Knuepfel, bassoon-player. Finding that the list of players did not bring the pensions, Schaef.submifl'&d the programmes for six concerts, but the pro- grammes proving equally ineffectual, sev- eral of the soloists recently took whatever engagements offered, holding themselves in readiness, however, to respond if called upon to plaf' at a concert, several of which the Metropolitan Musical Society announced its intention of giving during thesummer. A few of the soloists, and some of the best, from an artistic point of view, have not secured engagements, however. These are Reitter, Kinuepfel and the Marquardts. Herr Marquardt said yesterday, ‘“There is absolutely no compulsion on the part of the Metropolitan Musical Society to pay us anything for having stayed here, for its obligation is a moral one only. ““We were not to receive pensions; the sum to be paid during the summer was a retainer on a year's contract. If we had not stayed here on that understanding we should have secured engagements in the East for the summer season. Now Reitter and Knuepfel are doing nothing, for | Frer;ICh horn and bassoon players never get pupils. “I do not, think, though, that these two rformers are in absolute need at present, ut if the society did not want music | why did it not say so in time to let them take other engagements, It is needless for me to say what Reitter’s and Knuepfel’s musical standing is, for all the musicians | here know that already. “The other soloistsidecided that the so- ciety did not intend to keep the unwritten contract and took whatever they could get, but for men who have been in the habit of playing with Damrosch, Seidel and all the other great orchestras, their position is— well, not a classical one. However, they have been kept here, and now it appears that John Parrott’s stepfather—no, his father-in-law—has died, and, as he is in mourning, he cannot attend to these | things. However, he,is under no legal ob- ligations to do so anyway. Ouronly claim on the Metropolitan Musical Society is a moral one.” John Parrott was out of town yester- day, but H. J. Crocker, the treasurer of the Metropolitan Musical Society, said: | “I have only just returned home after be- ing away for a fortnight, but Obed Horr, | our bookkeeper, has kept the minutes of all the meetings, and has consulted with the ladies of the auxiliary. I believe there was an understanding that nsions should be paid from the first of April, when the subscriptions began, but we lost so much on the last series of concerts that, after settiing Scheel’s debts, I did not take any more interest in the symph- ony scheme, for it was evident the people did not care about it.”” ‘When asked about the contract, Mr. Crocker said he did not know what prom- ises had been made. “I should never have advocated a written contract my- i;elf," he lfld&?, “for I know how de- inquent people are about ing u they mean to, but they go ontp:¥ tfwnpl; forget, and if Mr. Parrott and I had un- dertaken to pay six or seven hundred dol- lars a month, we should have been held re:sonslhle, while the people who have pledged themselves to pay $1.50 to $5 a mozlnh nel not boml:d q:ything. “I am always willin Ti concerts, but it would have been x;l‘;:ch philan! thropy to give a contract forsix or seven thousand dollars. If Mr. Parrott said any- thing about a contract, it was not in my prgs'ence, for I should have felt like saying no. » “lhave just been consulting with the ladies of the auxiliary aboat that very thing,” said Obed Horr. “They want to give an entertainment that will bring the supscnptans up to $1000 a month. People paid up fairly well in April, but the sub- scriptions are falling off now, aud, before payments begin, there must be money coming in.” When asked whether the payments had been promised, Mr. Horr consulted his books, and said he believed they had. “A meeting of the Metropolitan Musical Society was held on March 25. There were Elresent: John Parrott, W. Mayo Newhall, - J. Crocker, Louis Sloss, J. Stern and Fritz Scheel.' You see, the idea was to help Seheel and his soloists here during the summer, and the minutes read. Therefore be it resolved that John Parrott, the president, be empowered to make proper arrangements with such mnsicians and mike proper payment {0 them until further action of the board. “‘Scheel was present, and no doubt he communicated this decision to the musi- cians. Mr. Parrott got from him the list of artists to be retained, I believe. “The ladies do not want to go back on the understanding with the musicians, but the subacrirhonu are languishing. There were alot of books taken at that meeting— books to fill up with lists of subscribers— that have not been accounted for. Where are they? Tt seems to me there has been confusion all along the line. “If the people would only bring back those books we should know better where we are. Some of the ladies have paid up faithfully, others are out of town, but the: all belong to the class of people whe will, :-n_o doubt, settle their subscriptions some ime. “What we want to do now is to give a successful entertainment. Burlesques are played out—even a Trilby entertainment would probably fall flat. “One proposition has been to have bicycle races for society ladies, most of whom' ride wheels. How does that strike you? My own idea is that people would “flock to see it and that the ladies would realize enough to subsi- dize musicians all summer.” Hungary’s Patriot. Maurice Jokai, the Hungarian novelist, has refused the presidency of the Hungar- izn branch of the Peace Society. He says: ““I will deceive no one. I am prepared, if the powers of Europe agree to disarm, to pay three times the taxes I have paid u to the present. I will devote all my facul- ties to the g:-t cause. But if my father- land, my dom, my nation, my King, are attacked bfiin one, then I know no theories.

WANT TO BREAK A SLATE Many Anti-Rainey Democrats Are After Dr. Leving- ston’s Scalp. The Clvic Federation Getting Ready to Assist in Convincing Gov- ernor Budd. Local political circles are getting warmed up about the Board of Health fight. The men who opposed Boss Buckley a few years ago now feel a similar hostility toward Rainey, whom they recognize as Buckley’s representative and partner at the present moment. . ‘These men are in full tilt against a slated board, the naming of some of whose pro- posed appointees has filled the souls of the anti-Rainey men with wrath. This pro- posed board is to consist of Dr. L. C. Cox, Dr. V. P. Buckley, Dr. Julius Rosenstirn and Dr. Willlam E. Barger. They are the men slated by Dr. Mare Levingston, who intends that they shall make him Health Officer. Dr. Levingston's influence with the Governor 1s supposed to be very great. A peculiar feature has appeared in the contest which is rather grotesque. Itis to be noted that, as yet, the Chronicle has had nothing to say of the Board of Health appointments. Many Democrats do not hesitate to say that this is part of a plan put in operution by Dr. Levingston. Levingston’s record as Coroner is public property. He was a friend and a supporter uckley and Buckley’s methods. The fact that he was defeated by Dr. O’ Donnell when he tried to be re-elected tells the whole story. This story, it is said, he wants to keep down, and 'so has arranged with the Chronicle not to attack him, and in return bas promised to have his Board of Health keep in all of Dr. Regensburger’s appointees, among whom is Dr. Samuel S. Kahn, the husband of a niece of M. H. de Young, who now draws $1800 a year as City Physician. Dr. Mizner, who wants to be Quarantine Ofticer, is a friend of Dr. Levingston. Dr. Mizner has been slated by Dr. Levingston for Quarantine Officer, buf, after al r. J. 8. Potts will probably get that position. All the men who are on what is called the “Levingston slate” for the Board of Health have been interested in politics in former years. They are all friends of Buckley and, of course, are looking for a very rough fight with the men who helped to down their ally of a few years ago. The slate as fixed up by Dr. Levingston is as follows: Health Officer, Quarantine Officer. .Dr. Levingston .Dr. Mizner éBut Dr. Potts will win.) Superintendent County Hospital .Percy Henderson ......Ed Reddy P McGlade Inebriates. . William Gavigan Dr. Kahn Superintendent ATmshouse Secretary Almshouse. . Superiniendent new Ho: City Physician Steward of County Hospital ................ nator Billy Dunn Almshouse attendant semblyman McCarthy Other positions of one kind or another will be provided for all the legislators who proved derelict in their duty while at Sacramento. A call has been issued for a gathering of the members of the Good Government Club, the Citizens’ Defense Association and the Union for Practical Progress. They are to meet Thursday afternoon and dis- cuss waysand means of defeating the plans of Dr. Levingston. Yesterday afterncon a number of gentle- men prominently connected with the Good Government Club and Civic Federation met to discuss the situation. As aresult the call was made for the meeting on Thursday afternoon. There were present both Republicans and Democrats, yet all were equally outspoken in their opposition to Levingston. The men who are engineering the oppo- sition now claim that the Solid Right of the Supervisors are also in on the deal. According to their story Dr. Gavigan, formerly an attorney, and” the deputy tax collector, through the grace of Boss Buck- ley and his own political shrewdness, wants to take charge of the new Home for Inebriates. But to make the place “pay” fitting appropriations would have to be made for it by the Supervisors. It is claimed now that to insure this the entire patronage of the place has been promised the Solid Eight in case Gavigan is ap- pointed. It is openly declared by Democrats who have been prominent in political reforms instituted in the last year that the appoint- ments urged in accordance with the wishes of Dr. Levingston were dictated by Maurice Schmitt and Sam Rainey. Dr. Levingston, they say, spent much time in consultation wit{ these two politicians and the pro- gramme which is causing <0 much anxiety was the result of this political connubia- tion. #=The Civic Federation will confront Gov- ernor Budd with a transcript of Dr. Lev- ingston’s record when he was in the Coro- ner’s office, and will ask him if he dare to appoint such a man or his friends and asso- ciates to positionsof public trust. The only hope that the “comoine’’ have is in speedy action by the Governor, for when he knows the facts the hopes of the schem- ers will be doomed. SOME DEMOCRATIC OPINIONS. A Few Looal Demoorats Talk of Dr., Lev- ingston. Internal Revenue Collector Welburn is quite sure that Dr. Levingston will not be uppointed Health Officer. He did mnot know whether Dr. Levingston was in close connection with the bosses, The matter of the appointment of Dr. Mizner as Quaran= tine Officer he considered quite another question, ‘‘There can be no doubt,” he said, “that if any man or any set of men can be shown to be in sympathy with Rainey they will be killed politically, so far as the Governor is concerned. Buckley is not to be consid- ered. He no longer has any more influence than an ordinary :ward striker. I don’t know whether Dr. Levingston has anything to do with him and his giends. “I do know, though, that he cannot be on the Board of Health. It issimply im- possible. ““There is more than one reason for this. For instance, the Governor can hardly be expected to appoint two men out of the same firm, and Dr. Mizner and Dr. Leving- ston are partners.” _Senator Fay is in arms about the com- bine threatened by Levingston. ‘It would be criminal,” he said, ‘‘to have ward strikers filling the places in our hospitals and almhouses that should be occupied by trained nurses. That is what the success of the proposed Livingston slate means. Asa Democrat and u citizen, I am opposed to it, and I am sure that Governor Budd has too much good sense and strength to yield to any pressure that might be brought to bear to induce him to yield tosuch a proposition. ‘‘Everybody knows the dreadful record of Levingston as Coroner and his political affiliations. These should be enough to condemn any men he might bring forward to puton the Board of Health. This is made evident when his political associates to-day are considered, and when you stop to think that the men'to whom the lesser patronage of the city institutions is to be g;ven are all men who helped Buekley in ;fi last gghn" = ax Popper is another who considers that the men who are siated by Dr. Ley- ingston should not be appointed. He knows Levingston's record and does not hesitate to speak about it, He also has an- other objection. “I am told by a prominent Democrat whose name I do not want to use,” he said last mal:t, ““that since Dr. Levingston has come the front as a local Warwick and Board of Health maker his actions have been observed by detectives. It has been found that he has spent much time in company with Judge Levy and Maurice Schmitt, who is known as Buck- ley’s representative. Buckley’s influence may be slight now. It would only take the possession of patronage to build it up again. ““That it has been in the ascendant at these conferences can be judged from the men who are slated for places and the fact that Maurice Schmitt was one of those in the conference. The fact that Senators Dunn_and Henderson are slated for places and that D.. Gavigan is booked for the superintendency of the new Home for the Inebriates, while the Democrats who are identified with every movement for purer politics and reform” are not mentioned, shows also the kind of a proposition Dr. Levingston is lr,ying to smuggle in upon Governor Budd.” A LEDGE OF PURE GOLD, Another Expedition Organized NEW TO-.

JACKETS AND CAPES. to Search for a Long Lost Mine. Many Have Perished From Thirst While Hunting for This Rich Deposit. A company is being organized in this City to fit out an exploring expedition to search for a rich gold ledge that was found in the Mojave Desert years ago, but was lost sight of on account of the death of the man who found it. He perished miserably of heat and thirst in the desert. Months later his body was found, and in his pocket was a fatal legacy to mankind, a paper describing the location of his wonderful find. Since then dozens of hardy pros- pectors have perished in the burning sands while searching for the lost mine. Not- withstanding these failures and fatalities another band of fearless adventurers pro- pose to search in the waterless wilderness for the wealth they have heard about. The story of the lost mine is best told by L. D. Thompson of 516 Eddy street,a ‘pioneer or this coast and a member of sev- eral fraternal societies. He said: “Many years ago I met Oliver Miller, a prospector, and my dealings with him con- vince me that no man was ever more hon- est. On March 8 he came to me and told me that he knew ofa gold ledge of fabulous richness in the Mojave Desert, about fifteen miles south of Daggett in San Bernardino County. Miller said that years ago a man found the ledge in a mountainous section, and covering the ledge with rock and tak- ing a solid gold nugget the size of his fist he returned to San Diego for provisions. He sold the gold, but kept the secret of where he found it. ‘“Alone he started out into the desert again, but perished from heat and thirst. Years after his body, which was well pre- served by the dryness of the atmosphere, was found, and in the vest pocket wasa paper describing the location of the ledge and the way to get there. Many have tried to follow the route, but died or had to turn back. Oneday Miller and his partner were prospecting in the desert, and Miller shot at a vulture that was sitting on a spur of rock. The bullet broke the rock and re- vealed a vein of almost pure gold. “They marked the place and went back to civilization for food. Miller and his partner quarreled as to the way they should work the mine and in time the partner died. Miller was allured to Mon- tana, where he hoped to make money to develop the gold ledge in the Mojave Desert, but fate was against him. Later he read the description of the mine, for the paper found in the dead miner's pocket was published many times in the news- apers, and_he was satisfied that the un- }’ort\male fellow was the first discoverer. “Miller toid me that he was going back to the desert to hunt for the lost mine, for he is sure he can find it again. He asked me to organize a company to furnish the means and he would start outatonce. I ave him some money and he started out. i{e has written to me that he has been out on the desert during the Yut month, but finds the elements have slightly changed the appearance of the country since he was there, but he is sure he will find the ledge. “‘He needs men to help him, tent, mules, wagon and provisions. I am satistied he will find the lost mine, and so is J. J. Dennis, cashier in the Hartford Insurance Company. Mr. Dennis and I have taken several shares in Miller’s company and we decided to take one or two more men into the project. Iknow men have perished in trying to find the lost mine, but as Mr. Miller has found it once I am sure he can find it again. ““The mine is in a hollow with three small mountains or hills surrounding, and the ledge runs several feet above the sur- face of the ground. Possibly the hollow has been filled with rocks and sand, but when Miller finds the three hills he will not be long in uncovering the ledge of gold.” ———— A OALIFORNIA CELLIST. Debut of Louis von der Mehden in Golden Gate Hall. Louis von der Mehden Jr., who recently returned from the Leipsic Conservatory, pave a concert last night in Golden Gate Hall, assisted by Frank Coffin and Pro- fessor G. Sauvlet. A num ber of friends of the young performer were present and gave him an enthusiastic reception. Louis von der Mehden soon showed, however, that he could well stand on his merits as a musician without calling upon the friendship of his hearers for applause. His tone was sweet and sympathetic, his execution was clean and finished and the shading was good. The numbers which he was down on the programme for were a concertoin D minor by Piatti and a scherzo by the same composer, a nocturne of his own composition, a concert mazurka by Fitzenhagen and an andante by Golter- man. In the performance of all these works he showed marked artistic ability and was vigorously encored for each one. ——————— The brain is not affected by the move- ments of the body, even when these are sometimes violent, because it restsona basis of soft cushions between bones of the spine.
