She May Not Appear in the Great Fourth of July Parade. NO ONE EKNOWS HER NAME. Three Literary and Musical Pro- grammes for the Big Cele- bratlon. Unless there is a change of heart on the part of the Fourth of July committee or some of Oakland’s modest society belles before to-night the parade will lose one of its traditional features—that of the God- dess of Liberty. In spite of its carefully laid plans and of the fact that the most courteous and pop- ular members were chosen to select a god- dess none has been found, and for the very simple reason that those who have been asked to impersonate Columbia have politely but firmly declined the honor. Now the committee has decided that unless it can get the lady of its choice it will go without a goddess, and that familiar fea- ture will be missed from the parade. The cause of the trouble was the opinion expressed some time ago by a leading society lady, that it would be undignified to hold an election for the goddess, and that she disapproved on general principles of young ladies acting as the goddess in public parades. 5 Since that the society buds whom the committee were stalking” have been fight- ing shy of the question, and unless some one of them can be induced to change her mind to-day, the throne will go empty, and the fifty maidens who have been selected as an escort will lose their voca- tion. Three literary and musical programmes have been arranged for the day. The first will take place in the morning at the tent on Twelfth and Jackson streets, as follows: Music—Fifth Infantry band. Invocation—Chaplain Rev. J. E. Bushnell, President of the day, Hon. J. L. Davie. Reading of the Declaration of Independence —D. 5. Hirshberg, Music—Male quartet. Poem—Ina D. Coolbrith. Address—Senator George C. Perkins. At the same time exercises will be held at the tabernacle as follows: fth Regiment band of San Jose, n—chaplain Rev. E. 8. Chapman. Declaration of Independence— Major E. & Sherman. Music—Male quartet. Poe: harles Keeler. “Drake’s Address to the American Flag"— Ward L. Pelton. Address—Hon. John A. Wright. In the atternoon Rev. Anna Shaw will deliver an address at the tabernacle, when the following musical programme will be rendered : Music—Fifth Infantr yband. he Artillerist’s Oath,” by a_double male uartet, consisting of Messrs. W. Basker and ). Lawrence, first tenors; P. Hughes and Brangs, second tenors; II. Lawrence and H. Albreck, first bass; H. Melyin and H. Rickards, second bass. “star-spangled Banner,” by Mrs. J. A.

Address—Miss Anna Howard Shaw. “Our Native Land"—Male quartet. “America,” by the audience. On the east side of Lake Merriit a huge grand stand, capable of seating 3000 peo- ple, has been erected, and to-day carpen- ters will put up a similar structure on the west side of the lake. These two stands are expected to accommodate all those who desire to sit during the display of pyrotechnics, which will be the finest ever seen in Qakland. The seats have been re- served, and are to be had at the drug- stores. The entries for the athletic events at the park have been closed. The following entered for the various events: One-mile handicap—Henry Tank, F. Jenks, t Doyle, A. P. Wrigh Williamson, A. right. 100-yard handicap—J. C Byrne, D. Willi , F.W. Simpson, Charles Charles Gifford. Tye, Frank Jenks, Running high jump—J. C. Williamson, A. Byrne, D. Williamson, F. W. Simpson, J. Kenna, H. Tank and E. Dowdle. The entries for the boys and the profes- sional events will be filled out on the grounds. Vice-Presdent James Shanly of the P. A. A. has been appointed referee and DeWitt C. Van Court starter. There will be a balloon ascension and parachute jump at the trotting-parkat 2:30 by Pro- fessor Burke. All the principal business houses of Oak- land have signed an agreement to close on the Fourth. The Young Men’s Institute of Oakland is preparing a_handsome float, which will be a feature of the parade. It will repre- sent the signing of the Declaration of In- dependence. he costuming will be in the Colonial style and the accessories con- form to the great historical scene. At the close of the parade, as the col- umn passes in review, there will be a Na- tional salute fired from the guns, and dur- ing the fireworks at night another salute of fiftv guns will be fired for the signers of the Declaration of Independence. The committeemen in charge of the morning awakening has placed the hour at which the unearthly noises are sup- posed to begin at 7 to 7:30 on the morning of the Fourth. At that time cannon will boom, and the noise of the several new devices hitherto unknown to Fourth of July celebrations will be heard. NEW ELECTION BOARD. Opinions on the Republican Appointments Made by the Mayor. Chairman Cornwall Strongly In- dorses Castle and Foster for Commissioners. The powers that be in the Republican party have concluded that Mayor Sutro has acted wisely in his selection of Elec- tion Commissioners on one side of the house, and Messrs. Castle ana Foster will probably be indorsed by the State Central Committee. P.B. Cornwall, chairman of the latter body, personally is greatly in favor of the two men selected on the Re- publican side, and while he would not commit himself on the question, he said yesterday that he thought that the execu- tive committee would favor both Mr. Castle and Mr. Foster. ‘It appears to me,” said Mr. Cornwall, “that both the gentlemen who have been selected are pretty good men, but for ob- vious reasons I hesitate to express an opin- ion as to the action of the execu- tive committee of the State Central Committee. It lies with the former com- mittee, according to the law, to accept or veto the Mayor’s choice. Iam inclined to think that the Mayor’s selection will be approved. Personally, [ am very much in favor of Messrs. Castle and Foster. The former is a yonn% vigorous and ardent Republican. Mr. Foster is a well-known representative merchant and a man of od standing in the community. Both, fonm assured, will stand up and do what is just and will insisi on having what is right for their party, asking for this and nothing more. A. J. Martin said: “Ionly know one of the gentlemen—Mr. Castle—and I know him to be a representative merchant, up- right and conscientious, who stands well not only with the party but in the com- munity. Mr. Foster I do not know.” *I indorse the Mayor's selection most heartily,” said J. M. Chretien. “I do not think he could have made two wiser ap- pointments. Mr. Castle is a {onn man of sterling worth, and who will look after the interests of the party, while Mr. Fos- ter is an elderly gentleman whose mature judgment will harmonize well with the ardor of his youne colleagues. The Re- publican appointments are for ahead of those from the Democratic side of the house.”’ . W. W. Montague, who is a member of the State Central Committee, expressed himseli as extremely well satisfied with the Mayor's choice.” ““I don’t think that two better selections could have been made,”’ said Mr. Montague. ‘“Mr. Castle is a young man who has been identified with the party, and in whom 1 have the greatest confidence. “Mr. Foster is a man who has not been beard of in politics to any great extent, but he is a good Republican, a square and honest man and one who is | thoroughly identified with the business | community. Ihavenothing further to say on his bebalf than that I wrote a letter to | the Mayor recommending his appoint- ment. 1did this without any suggestion from Mr. Ioster. I learned through his friends that he had been mentioned as one of the Commissioners and I indorsed him forthwith.” ] Charles W. Manwaring, chairman of the | A FRANCISCAN DOMICILE, New Parochial Residence Go- ing Up at St. Anthony’s Church. TO BE FINISHED BY AUGUST. Gosslp on Street Improvements in the Mission and at Bernal Helghts. The Franciscan order of the Catholic ! chureh is fast transforming the block between Army street and Precita avenue and Folsom and Shotwell streets from a sand waste into a completely eauipped mission. It was only about a year ago that Fathers Leo and Quirinus came here and estab- lished themselves in their work. A plain, but commodious, frame school and a very pretty brick church wereerected, the latter being known as St. Anthony’s Church, which was dedicated last March. The church has cost probably $27,000 including the furniture, and the school involved an expenditure of about $4500. Now a large new parochial residence is being built ata cost of $4500. The present home occupied by the two priests Jand their two lay brothers, Niko- laus and Leander, is a little two-story affair on Precita avenue, very inadequate, and the need of more suitable quarters suggested the building of the new parochial bome as early as it could be reacned on the programme of improvements. Contractor Robert Trost, who put np the church and school, is also building the home. He has a force of twenty men at work on it and expects to have it com- pleted by Aungnst 1. Altogether it will contain twenty-four different apartments in its two stories and basement. It is a frame building, and the plainness which seems to be a charac- ST. ANTHONY’S CHURCH. Republican County Committee, said that | he did not care to expressan opinion on | the matter save that he did not think there | would be any objection offered by the State | Central Committee. “The County Committee has ne voice in the matter,” said Mr. Manwaring. *‘Messrs. Popper and Kelly fixed that in drafting the bill creating the Commissioners. They took all power from the City Committee and vested it in the central body. Whether this was quite right was left for the Legisla- ture to decide, which it did. I do not care to express any opinion regarding the a pointments. I know Mr. Castle very well, politically, but Mr. Foster I only know by reputation.” WELLIN’S DEFENSE. He Makes Reply to the Charges Made Against Him by a Labor Union. P. N. Wellin, who was appointed a mem- ber of the Board of Election Commission- ers by Mayor Sutro on Monday, takes ex- ception to what he designates as the un- just attack made on him by Union No. 483 of the Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners. With reference thereto he yester- day said: I wish to state that No. 483 is a body of men whose methods of dealing with labor organiza- tions ahd labor matters are such as I never could indorse. Their methods have been to advocate strikes and boycotts without justice or reason, and had the labor cause been left in the hands of No, 483 the building trades would not be workln{]elkhl hours a day. No. 22, of which I was a member, pursued the policy of arbitration and conference, which I always favored. By following this line of poliey we established the eight-hour rule in the building trades. We also, in accomplish- ing this, created a good fecling between the employers and the employed which has lasted through all the recent dull times and general depression, no attempt having been made to lengthen the day, though the streets were filled with idle men. It is not true that I left No. 22 because I could not control it. No one man ever at- tempted that, I left it because during the movement for the eight-hour day five or six years ago I was charged with being a profes- sional agitator. 1 then announced in pubiic that when the eight-hour day was established for the build- ing trades I would withdraw from the labor movement. But when this was accomplished I was elected a delegate to the National Con- vention of the Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners of America, and was subsequently elected first vice-president of that organize- tion. This caused me to defer my withdrawal until the end of the term of two years for which I was elected. At the conclusion of my term of office I with- drew from No.22, and have not been identified with the labor movement since, but I am on good terms with all the labor element. Mayor Ellert’s reason for refusing to vote for me during his administration for Superinten- dent of Construction at the new City Hall was simply that I was a Democrat. ————— SOHEEL UNDER BAN. Must Employ Union Men at the Me- chanies’ Fair. Following upon the heels of the an- nouncement made last Saturday in the Carr that Conductor Fritz Scheel would not again lead the Park Band unless he was reinstated as a member of the local Mu- siciang’ Union, comes a similar ban issued by the board of trustees of the Mechanics’ Institute. : There was a regular meeting of the board last night. In the absence of Chairman Lewis of that committee Rodney Kendrick reported that a contract had been made with Scheel, and the same was in the hands of Secretary Culver, Then arose the question of the authority of the committee to make a contract of this character and a clause from the con- stitution was cited to show that the con- tract was worthless. On this showing, the chair declared that no contract existed. George Cummin, made a motion that a contract be entnre§ into with Scheel, containing all the stipu- lations and specifications of the one drawn up by the music committee, but contain- ing the additional condition that onl union men be employed. This met wnK no opposition. —————— The Wesleyan Methodists have 565 so- cieties and a membership of 16,492, — The Free Methodist bodies have 1102 so- cieties and 22,113 communicants. ——————— The Independent Methodists claim a membership of 2569. teristic of Franciscan buildings does not allow much ornament or detail in its architecture, Its style is Romanesque, which is not very pretentious in a frame structure. It is situated just to the westward of the church and like the church fronts on Army street. Nenrlg 200 families communicate with St. Anthony’s Church, most of them be- ing Swiss. ‘Commencing the third Sunday in August some Benedictine fathers from Oregon will commence a week’s mission. August 2 is a great feast day on the Franciscan calendar. It is ealled “Portiun- cula,” and every Catholic visiting a Fran- ciscan church on that day can gain a plen- ary indulgence providedy he has been to confession and received the communion. The cutting throngh and grading of Army street to the Potrero is making a reat change with all this neighborhood. ather Quirinus said yesterday: ‘“What Golden Gate avenue is downtown, Army street is to us out here. It isa perfect boulevard, and makes one of the best thoroughfares in the City.” There is plenty of electric light at night in the vicinity of St. Anthony’s Church and the Cogswell Polytechnic School, and in a little while it is expected the street will be lighted by electricity all the way to the bayv. There is talk of organizing an_improve- ment club goon on Eernnl ileights. If it does materialize it will devote its energies tgward the equalizing of the street grades there. The need of such a club was made ap- gursm during a recent attempt to have rospect avenue cut and graded through the hill like California avenue. A white contractor named Burns secured a list of names for the northern half and a colored contractor, Dobson, got quite a number for the southern half. As the property- owners along the north end were averse to subsequently signing the colored man’s contract, and those along the south end could not see any particular reason for at- taching their signatures to Mr. Burng’ list after their names had gone down on Mr. Dobson's, the street still remains un- graded. Electric lights are needed in many places on Bernal Heights, but the people giving and doing business there fear that they will not get them until the streets are graded. g The Mission Yournal has the following notes on street improvements: About the ouly objection to the Mission- street line now is the lack of transfer facilities below Ninth street. Several persons who ride frequently desite to transfer north to the Kearny-street line, and thus into the business portion of town. Transfers are now issued toward the Southern Pacific depot, and these persons think that they might be extended the other way. The grading of Mission road between the Five-mile House and Amazon avenue is still progressing slowly, and most of the traflic to and from the City is now on the old San Jose road, and from ‘the bridge at Mount Vernon avenue to the County line the S8an Jose road is terribly cut up. In the next tax levy the sum of $10,000 for a sewer on Fifteenth street is to be incor- orated. This is much needed, as the rain water rom the hills continually destroys the old one. Enough money has aiready been spent for repairs to build a new one. Army street, between Mission and Valencia, is being widened. The sidewalks are being re- duced, thus adding to the width of the road- way. che street, from Seventeenth to Market, is claimed by the residents to be in a good condi- tion, therefore they protest against having it repaved. Men are at work relaying the basalt blocks ‘between the tracks on the crossings of the streets intersecting Missfon street. The telephone company has commenced placing their wires underground in the Mis- sion. Twenty-first street, between Mission and Howerd, is being bituminized. Scheeving’s Misfortunes. John Scheeving, who lived at 108 Freelon ——————————————————————————— Take No Substitute.. Gail Borden Eagle Brand street, and was one of the sufferers by last week’s conflagration, had another misfortune heaped upon him yesterday. He went over to Alameda to see if he could obtain work. He ‘as standing on the platform of one of the carriages, and_as the train turned sharply round a curve he lost his'balance, and to save himself from falling under the wheels jumped off. His elbow was fractured and his eyes and face bruised. He wasattended toat the Re- ceiving hospital. REV. F. FLAWITH'S RETORT He Denounces Statements Made by Mr. McCoy of the Y. M. C. A. as False. The members of the new San Francisco Institute of Applied Christianity do not take kindly to the explanation given by Secretary McCoy of why he denied the in- stitute a meeting-place in the Y. M. C. A. building, as published in yesterday’s CALL. In his interview, Mr. McCoy stated that he offered the institute a room for one Tuesday night, and notja permanent meet- ing place. Among other matters, he re- ferred to the controversies in the insti- tute meetings over the teachingsof Dr. Herron. Last evening Rev. M. J. Fergusson stated that he wished to place the institute before the public in its right light, and _he read a statement of principles, which was adopted. Mr. Fergusson stated that Rev. F. Flawith, who had the interview with Mc- Coy, was unable to be present at the meet- ing, but had sent the following letter: Dear Brother: McCoy is false. Nothing was ever said about “one evening.” Iknow that he meant all right at first, and I know one per- son spoke to him. Then he backed down. 1 hope you will give the public to under- stand that the institute meetings are to study the teachings . of Christ rather than Professor Herron's or any man's, excepting in so far as they seem to agree with it. He speaks of “controversies” in our meet- ings. I would show them that the miristers’ meetings, “Varley's mectings,” are more con- troversial ihan our institute meetings. They, the Y. M. C. A, have every week a de- bating class on most ever: jeet imagiuable, and ir M dollar being spoken of he would be more than liable to hear of it there. McCoy asked me if we wanted to meet every week. I replied, **Yes, for the present, but after awhile possibly once every two weeks.” This showed that he understood me. Further, he knéw we had & place to meet and did not wantto change for one week, but wanted a more central place. Yours, etc., . = R i OFFICIALS FIGHT. School Director McElroy and Civil Engineer Wilson Come to Blows. Director McElroy wore a somewhat dis- figured appearance at the meeting of the Classification Committee of the Board of Education last evening. He had had an active altercation with Assistant Engineer of the Fire Department Charles R. Wilson earlier in the day. Trouble has been brewing between the two for some time consequent upon fric- tion that arose over the possession of some lans of the new buildings for the Fire epartment.

X Lydia E. Pinkham's Vege- table Compound is the unfail- ing cure for all these troubles, It strengthens the proper mus- cles, and cures displacement. Backache, dizziness, faint- ing, bearing-down, disordered stomach, moodiness, dislike of friends and society—all symptoms of the’ one cause — will be quickly dispelled. ‘Write Mrs. Pinkham about your trouble.
