THE SAN FRANCISOO CALL, TUESDAY, JULY 2, 1895. PLANS FOR THE FOURTH, Demonstration Nearly Completed. PERFECTING MINOR DETAILS. There Is a Deflcit of $900 Which Must Be Met or Some Fea- tures Omitted. The preparations for the grand celebra- tion of the Fourth are nearly completed executive committee is in daily cting the minor details. At yesterday’s session it was found that nds lable there 15 a deficit of d that in that is not included any on for the payment of - the militia or ‘for- horses for the artillery or A long discussion on ways of re- nent followed the announcement, 1t of which was the appointment mmittee on retrenchment, to whom ne disagreeable duty of paring down the expenses was entrusted. The five ap- pointed for that purpose are.. Messrs. Reichart, Toy, Tichnor, Marshall and Doan. A con ttee of three was appointed to confer with General Warfield concerning J. M.

The final re- the chorus of 300 voices, which Miss Minnie Powell, Soprano Soloist for the ¥ourth of July Exercises. has been ‘provided for these exercises, takes place to-night in Mauzy Hall, 310 Post street. Some very fine musical num- bers have been fimvidei and the sing;ng of Miss Minnie Powell especially will a treat. Mr. Rich, chairman of the entertainment committee, reported that arrangements for caring for the children had n com- pleted. Mr. Rich has worked hard for the little ones and is pleased with the plans perfected, but feels rather anxious about money, as all he has to rély on is what has been collected by the Examiner’s subscrip- tion. Mr. Rich will give a banquet to his com- mittee after the celebration is over. C. F. Crocker has donated 2700 street-car tickets to transport the orphans to and from the park. The butchers are preparing a memmoth display, which will occupy three full divi- sions of the parade. In addition Mr. Hammond turned over to the committee yesterday morning a check for $100 from'the Butchers’ Board of Trade. Tlie newly appointed committee on re- trenchment spent last night working on L) the different accounts and figured that they would be able to reduce the deficiency to $500 or $600. RECEIVING HOSPITAL. Increased Number of Cases During the Last Fiscal Year. g The returns of the Receiving Hospital, as prepared by Steward Trewin for the fiscal year ending June 30, show that 6704 cases were treated during the year, being an increase of 968 over the previous vear. The largest number in one month was 600, in June, which is the largest in any month for the past four years. There were 92 deaths, precisely the same number as the previous year, and 21 persons were brought in dead. g Of the total number of cases 521 were in- sane, and 295 of these were sent to asylums. The additional cost entailea by insane patients being received at the hospital is 80 per month, of which $60 is for an addi- tional steward. There were two births during the year, the smallest number on record. AROUND THE WATER FRONT The British Steamer Port Stevens to Load Wheat for Liverpool. A GASOLINE TANK EXPLODES. William Henry Johnson, an lowa Defaulter, Returning Home From Honolulu. The Oceanic steamship Australia ar- rived yesterday morning from Sydney, Auckland ana Honolulu with large cabin and steerage passenger lists. Among the latter was William Henry Johnson, ex- Treasurer of Muscatine County, Iowa, who returns home to answer to the charges of forgery and embezzlement committed while handling the public funds as an offi- cial. He was convoyed by Deputy Sheriff ‘Wyllie of Muscatine County. About two years ago Johnson began u sing the money intrusted to his care in some private investments. The venture failed and the enterprising official found himself a de faulter by about $80,000. He states tflat he used the money with the consent of his bondsmen. Johnson left the State, going first to Kansas, then to San Francisco. 1tissaid he landed here ¢ 'tat broke” and was only saved from des- titution by his faithful wife, who realized $700 irom the sale of some private prop- erty, sending him $200. With this money he slipped off to Hono- lulu and secured employment as collector on a newspaper. He was advanced to bookkeeper, and while attending to this duty he secured control of a stationery and candy store. Mrs. Johnson arrivedin Honolulu a few months ago, and as John- son bad conducted himself in an exem- IvI:Ar_v manner since coming to the islands, both himself and wife were received in the best social and religious circles in Hono- lulu. He was an active supporter of the Provisional Government, also taking a prominent part in the usual island re- ligious work. He drop]i d the William, from his name and was known as Henry Johnson, but one day an acquaintance recognized him and notified the Iowa offi- cials of his whereabouts. They sent the Deputy Sberiff around with the necessary papers for his arrest. *ussengers by the Australia stite that the Fourth of July will be'celebrated in Honolulu under the auspices of the Ha- waiian Government, and will conelude with a parade of the military in the after, noon and a reception by President Dole. The Americans in the islands favoring annexation are rejoicing over a portion of Mrs. Dole’s add ress made recently upon presenting an ensign to one of the military companies. The words are as follows: I take great pleasure in presenting to you this fiag in recognition of your valuable serv- ices during the recent unpleasantness. I hope that this regiment will carry it until replaced by the stars and stripes. Yesterday morning the tank of a gaso- line engine drilling holesin the rails of the Southern Pacific Company’s street lines at Mission wharf exploded, setting fire to the truck and_wharf and” damaging the ma- chinery. Fortunately nobody was injured and the fire was soon extinguished. The British coal steamer Port Stevens, which came in from Newcastle Sunday evening, has been chartered by McNear. and will load wheat for Liverpool at 35 shiilings. According to the statement of Lieu- tenant Drake, one of the Board of Inspec- tion, now on the Olympic, that cruiser is another splendid result of the Pacific Coast ship-builders’ skill. *“The huge fighting machine,” said he, “is as easily handied as 2 Whitehall boat. It is marvelous how easy those tons and tous of metal can be moved. While going ahead with sixty revolutions of the pro- ellers she: can be stopped and started Eflckward in ninety seconds. With the helm hard over and one propeiler huckin? while the other is going ahead she will almost turn as if on & pivot, and would do so but for the fact that the propeller has more power in its strokes going ahead than in backing; consequently the vessel will move_ a littie under the influence of the ‘heading’ screw. In circling ahead, full speed, with helm hard astarboard or port sge does not heel over to any extent, demonstrating her great stability and her tendency to stand on even keel even with her great engines dragging her over.”” Men are being_enlisted on board the two war vessels, and a large number have pre- sented themselves for a three years' cruise in foreign waters. Many a cook’s reputation has been made by the delicious things she bas been able t0 make with the Royal Baking Powder. ————————— How the Kussians Make Tea. In Russia we see no open fireplaces and no singing kettles. Their system of heat- ing the house in winter is much diffegent and much superior to ours, o the Russians use a tea urn with an internal flue. In this flue they put charcoal, and, when lighted, the urn is placed outside the door (the fumes are dangerous), and a stoye- pipe is placed on the top of the flue to in- duce draught; and soon the water boils. The urn is then placed on the table, and the good lady puts into the teapot so much tea as she thinks sufficient, fills the teapot with boiling water, and then places the teapot on tfie top of the internal flue, and her mind is at rest. i 1f a friend pops in, either now or in one hour’s time, the hostess will at_once pour an inch of this rank poisonous lu‘uld into s glass ‘and fill up the glass with water from the urn, and smile. The friend then helps herself to a s:ica of lemon and four, ive or six pieces of sugar. : £ I,asa bopy, learned that Russia got the best tea and made the best tea. AfterI had been in varipus parts of Russia a few times I began to think my.schoclbooks dealt in fables. With the exception of seven weeks last autumn I have been in Russia this last twelve months, and my experience extends from St. Petersburg to Astrachan, and from Batoum to this des- ert, and I say that Russia does not buy the best tea,—Tit-Bits. ———————— An old lady of 112, named Rostowska, presented herself recently at the refecture at Lille to draw her pension. She served asa canteen-woman in Napoleon's cam- paign in Russia, was under fire in twelve other campaigns, was three times wounded and wears the silver cross for valor in the field. She acted as surgeon in a Polish regiment in 1831, She brought u fifteen children, her last surviving son dying some years ago at 80 i A GHOST IN THE HOUSE North Beach Residents Object to a Chestnut-Street Structure. SOME - MYSTERIOUS FIRES. Said to Be Haunted by an Un- usually Fierce and Active Spook. Away over at North Beach, or, to be more explicit, at the junction of Mont- gomery avenue and Chestnut street, within two blocks of where the muddy bay surges become more aggressive and queer tales of his making sallies from the place were cur- rent yesterday. In these sallies he is re- rted to have given chase to belated pe- estrians who played the role of Tam O’Shanter with charming realistic effects. One of these sorties was made last Sun- day night and the victim was John Rin- en, who lives on Bay street, near Taylor. e was returning home, according to his own account, rather late in the evenin, with a string of fish which he had caugh! early in the day. When opposite the haunted house, he declares, a white form sprang out from the fence in front of the premises, and just as his hair was be- inning to rise he received a thump on the Euck, and the string of fish was snatched from his hand. In the morning when this story became known some of the neighbors asserted that they had detected a strong smell of fried fish in the atmosphere earlier in the morning. John Sohl, who resides at the corner of Bay and Tnylor streets, was also reported as having been chased a short distance by the spiritual one,oand that the latter had tripped and fallen over the unnailed side- walk which Mr. Paladini has laid down in front of his premises. Mr. Sohl, when seen yesterday, however, said he was not g T e = Py, — te v THE HOUSE THAT IS BELIEVED TO BE HAUNTED, wash the shore, there is a ramshackle frame building which for months has worn a “Gee whizz, I'm so tired” expression about it. It is a three-story structure, and on account of its dingy and disreputable appearance generally looms up in an other- wise well-built neighborhood like a black- berry pie stain upon a summer dude’s white picnic pajamas. For months past it has been an eyesore to the residents of the vicinity with its great staring windows from which every vestige of glass has long since disappeared, thanks (or otherwise) to the industriousty inctined though vicious adolescent popu- lation of the vicinity, and its bare win- dows through which the energetic summer winds play tag and emphasize their appre- ciation of the enjoyment by weird and un- canny revels in that way which winds have when they are boisterously frolicsome. But, the neighborhood &;ut up with all these things, and uttered no complaints outside of their little gossipy circles, or when holding confidenmfi chats over their back fences. They did not even wait upon Mr. A. Paladini, the Italian fish marchant, who owns the ramshackle building, and endeavor to convince him that its days of usefulness as a structure, even for hog-pen purposes, was over; that,dn fact, it was time for the buildinE to quit playing the House of Usher act by ‘‘darkly nodding to itsfall,”” but to eome to the dissolution period without any further delay. Now a change has come over the spirit of the neighborhood’s nightmare. The fiat has gone forth that the old tenement- house must be removed, as it has passed beyond the limit of reasonable offense. In fact, the old building has gone completely wrong by betraying tendencies of a fire- bug character, and close upon this taking into partnership as a disturbing element a vigorous and apparently up-to-date ghost who has most pronounced and original ideas in the haunting line, Jusg how the old ruin fell into. such evil ways as to call for its speedy demolition can ohly be surmised, but back-yard gos- sip ascribes it to many causes. The one most believed is that the aforementioned adolescent community is in the. main responsible for it. When the last of the eight Italian families who lived there moved away seven or eight weeks ago and left the place in loneliness and gloom, the voungsters of both sexes and ages made it their headquarters. They not only caused an emigration epidemic to spread among the rats which until then had held a sec- ond mo;tdgage upon the premises, but with their mad capersand boisterous frolics had racked the building from joint to joint, in- side and out, and allowed the wind free access by breaking all the glass in fourteen windows. 4 It was after this had been going on up to two weeks ago that the building began to come out in the firebug role. First a fire was discovered in the dismantled cellar. This was extinguished with a few buckets of water by the neighbors. The next day tlames were seen bursting out of the rear kitchen. A-still alarm was sent in, and Mrs. Hansen and several other women, who reside in the adjoining flats on Chest- nut street, fought the fire and succeeded in utting it out. There were other fires thus jound, and so the neighborhood concluded that the house was imbued with an inordi- nate desire to destroy itself by fire. As there are many fine houses immediately adjoining the lirebug structure, the agita- tion was begun with vigor to have the Fire Department condemn axe building. hen the house changed its tactics. There were no more fires, but three nights ago strange noises were heard in the big desolate rooms, and there were some who said they saw flashes of light. In the morning the neighborhood suffered from a thrill of horror when the news wentaround that the place was haunted. From the start the newcomer displayed a business activity that was alarming.” He only put in about an hour each night in thumping the walls and floors, and after that he car- ried out some of hisoriginal ideas. During the night clothes lines were cut and an; holdover washing thereon would be trail in the dirt; then stones were thrown at adjacent windows, and in several instances the glass was broken. At other times nln:fi! and timbers were thrown out of the windows of the house of mystery, falling upon the pavements with a_crash. These were only a few of the pranks attributed to his ghostship. The boys of the neighbor- hoofi used the place no longer as a ren- dezyous. Since :Sunday it is reported the ghost has sure whether it was a ghost or some evilly inclined footpad. So the matter stands at the beach. Mr. Paladini was also seen yesterday, He did not believe the ghost stories, but said that there had been 8o many complaints about the house that he had seld it for $20, and that it would be torn down within a week. In its place, Mr. Paladini said, he wouid erect some flats. THE POLICE PROMOTIONS, Four Sergeants Will Now Draw the Increased Pay for Lieutenants. Nothing Definite Will Be Known as to Permanent Appointments for Some Time. From and after yesterday Sergeant Witt- man at the Central police station, Ser- geant Hanna at the Southern station, Sergeant Helms at the Harbor and Ser- geant Esola at the old City Hall station will draw the pay of a lieutenant, which is an increase from $125 to $140 per month. These four have been performing the duties of a lieutenant for some time, and as the new order creafing that office came into effect yesterday they will reap the ad- vantage of the increased pay. That does not imply that they are per- manently appointed lieutenants, but simply that they will hold them until other arrangements are made. The order allows the appointment of five lieutenants, but the fifth will not be required until the formation of the new district. The new order also allows for an increase of three on the detective force, and Chief Crowley announced yesterday that Cor- Eornl Handley and Officers Anthony and ibson, who have been doing detective duty for years, will now draw tga pay of a detactive, $125 per month. Their promo- tion is richly deserved, as each in his special line has done splendid service to the department. The Chief said yesterday that it will take neariy a month to reorganize the dis- tricts with the object of forming the new district for the additional captain and lieu- tenant. ‘‘In regard to promotions,” said the Chief, “I cannot do anything dehinite till know who the captains are to be. As soon as that is known I will be in a posi- tion to name the licutenants and the new sergeants. Take the case of John Moffitt in charge of the front office. He is per- forming the duties of a sergeant, but he only holds the rank of corporal. Now he will rank as a sergeant and draw the in- creased YBY from to-day. Drill Instructor Marshall is another instance. He is only a corporal wiow, but he shouid hold the rank of sergeant, and after the reorganiza- tion he will, in all probnbllitr,be promoted. | But as 1 said before nothing definite can be done till Iam in a position to see how many more patrol sergeants are needed owing to the increase of seventy-five men. That will not be known till the districts are reorganized. “There will be al?ht mounted men and it will require considerable study to locate the districts for them to patrol.” All these things require time and thought.” ‘The Chief declined to discuss the ques- tion of who will be the new captains, Cer- tain names had been’ mentioned, but be knew nothing about it. That was a matter entirely in the hands of the Commis- sioners. ‘What progress has been made by Oag; tains Douglass and Stone in their fight stay is_a matter of conjecture, tain Stone denies that he is mbkug any fight, but it is generally believed that his friends are actively engaged, whether he knaws it or not. “I find the Royal Baking Powder supe- rior to all the others in every .respect. It is entirely free from all adulteration and unwholesome impurity, and in baking it ves off a greater volume of leavening gas an any o powder. “WALTER 8. Harxes, M.D., ,‘Chemist to the Chicago Board of Health.” THE JAPANESE QUESTION, Senator George C. Perkins Has No Hope of Protective Legislation. THE PRESIDENT IS BLAMED. Eastern Legislators Conslder Oppo- sitlon to Mongolians as Mere Prejudice. “There will be no National legislation to protect the laborers of California against the Japanese,” said United States Senator George C. Perkinsyesterday. *“The people of the East seem unable to conceive of the situation of the labor market in this State. ‘When we tell them that the increase of the number of Chinese and Japanese laborers threatens the prosperity of the entire Pa- cific Coast they laugh at us, tell usthat we are ‘wild’ and that what we needis contract labor. “When the treaty recently made with Japan wagunder consideration both Sen- ator Wh;x and myself went before the committee while it was in executive ses- sion. We protested against the measures of the treaty. We told of the thousandsof unemployed whites and urged that the Japanese wereespecially industrious, since they were aggressive, intelligent and pro- gressive and willing to work more cheaply than any white could and live. ““Qur arguments were unheeded. I was told that the present alien contract law now in force afforded all the protection necessary. Instead of trying to keep them out the Japanese were actually invited by Secretary Gresham and President Cieve- land. They seem to think it of no conse- uence that every Japanese put to work gisplaccd 2 whité man, and this; too, at a time when thousands are begging because they can get no employment.” 3 & To change the laws regarding the immi- gration from Japan would necessitate a change of the recently adopted trenf. This; Senator Perkins was satisfied, would not be made. “We held the treaty with China back for four months,’’ he said, ‘‘but they passed it in spite of us. In this treaty President Oleveland let down the bars for as many Chinese to enter as possible. Yet we need all the arguments possible to stay such action?” “If we failed in the casc of the Chinese, it would be hopeless to attempt anything in the case of the Japanese. The latter are not personally so repulsive as the Chinese. Besides, they imitate our ways and cloth- ing, are studious, and really attempt to become a part of the country. You can understand the difficulty of making a peo- Ele think the presence of the Japanese to e bharmful, when they are willing to ac- cept the Chinese who makes absolutely no attempt to assimilate with the people around him. “It will be a long time before the ?eople of the East will believe the aversion of Westerners to Chinese is any more than a bit of unreasoning prejudice. They have no idea of the condition of affairs here. Rxey will learn it some time and then ere may be some hope for relief.” SAN JOAQUIN VALLEY ROAD Bids for Track-Laying in Stockton Called For—Ties and Ralls. Chief Engineer Storey of the San Fran- cisco and San Joaquin Valley Railroad returned from Stockton yesterday. While in that city he interviewed the Board of Supervisors with a view of obtaining per- mission to place the company’s track above grade, so that it should be out of danger from any possible overflow. A result of these interviews was the granting of the permission asked for. Yesterday afternoon Mr. Storey wrote letters to Stockton contraeiors asking for bids for layine three miles of track through the city of Stockton, and as soon as the bids are opened, on the 8th inst., and the contract awarded the work of track-laying for the new road will commence. Mr. Storey was in communication with those who, in the interest of the road, are looking after rights of way, and from the refiortu made by them it appears that there will not be anything in the way of obtain- in)lz‘ the concessions asked for. he first bargeload of ties for the new road left yesterday aiternoon for Stoekton, and the first cargo of rails will arrive here this week. The ahig on which they are loaded is looked for by Friday. ————— The Separate Baptists have 1599 mem- bers and church property valued at $9200. ——— e IT’S EASY TO SELL CHEAP FURNITURE And no doubt it’s easier for most people to buy than the good kind.
