THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, WEDNESDAY, JULY 10, 1895. e e === THE ONIVERSITY 1S FREE, | Regents Are Opposed to Charg- ing Admission and Tui- tion Fees. A DEFICIT IN THE FUNDS. Readjustment of Expenses in the Various Departments —The Lick Observatory. The board of regentsof the State Uni- versity got somewhat tangled up :\t_(hnxr annual meeting yesterday in the discus- sion of finances. It was not a question touching upon monometallism or bi- metallism such as is agitating the minds of political party leaders throughout the country, but it was in relation to the financial status of the v rsit It appears that the institution of_ I(:_m'n- ing which is the pride of the State is ““in a hole” temporarily to the extent of about $17,000, and, according to some of the re- gents, the prospects are not very brightfor the coming year regarding a threatened in- crease of this indebtedness, unless some decisive action was taken to stem the ad- verse tide. o The regents had two propositionsto face, viz.: First, to reduce the expenses of the univ ersity so that they may come within the scope of the appropriation, and there- by prevent any 1ncrease of the debt; sec- ona, to exercise their prerogative and arge an admission and tuition fee ef §25 ar for each student’ outside of those ileges of free scholar- scretion of the board. ther large attendance of President T. G. Phelps occu- ir and those present were ker, Marye, Kellogg, Rowell, , Hallidie, Foote, Way- The matter of the me up on thereport of Attorney counsel for the board, who had been asked to look into the law which gives the board the privilege to fix a tui- tion and admission fee. Mr. Mhboon reported that the law of gave the board the right, and that in 1869 1t was rescinded. The question of right subject for dispute then, and in 1874 code was amended and the law of 1868 was ained. In 1879, when the new constitution passed, that instrument de- ared that the laws of 1868 and 1874 should guide the board. This report settled the legal points in- volved and the board thereupon wentinto the ject with a vim. A motion was made to accept the report, and also to the effect that, owing to the increase in the ber of Fupils Tn the university and the increase of expenses caused thereby,as well as the threatened deficit in the ap priated funds, the board find means to maintain the institution by charging an admission and tuition fee of $25 a year, payable in two installments of $12 50, pro- viding that the holders of present scholar- ships and the seventy-five scholarships for those who are unable to pay be not inter- fered with. It was at this point the discussion be- gan. £ President Kellogg submitted a substitute stating that in order to keep the university up to 1ts standard the students be asked to | pay $20 a year admission and tuition fees, and that scholarships at the same rate be established for those who attain certain proficiency in their present scholarships. Regent Hallidie said that while he w: in favor of a free university, the fact still | stared the regents in the face that there was a $17,000 deficit at the end of this past fiscal year, and there was every prospect that # would be doubled in the coming year unless something was done. While an admission fee would not be popular, he | looked upon it as a necessity until the next Legislature met to tide over. The people. he thought, would look upon it in such a light. Regent Foote opposed the proposition. After some further discussion Regent llogg withdrew his substitute and oved to lay the whole matter over for a month. This found no favor at all. Regent Martin was opposed to fees, also, ng of the opinion that the board had no right to take such action. If the in- come was not sufficient to pay all ex- enses make a reduction downtoit. It vas the first time in twenty years that such a matter had come up, and it would not be good policy to change past methods a year or two. The school system is ree, and the university should be the san it the s. Marye, Houghton and others ed their views pro and con, but the ion of charging admission and uition fees was knocked out by a vote. There was some little discussion over the | report of the committee on internal ad- o ratio; In it there were several recommendations for increases of salaries and appointments. Several regents thought this savored of an increase of expenses, but it was ex- plained that the whole represented but a readjustment of the expenses ot each de- partment, and that the aggregate expense remained the same. S Following is the report which shows changes in the university for the ensuing fiscal year, and which was adopted : That E. R. Lewis be appointed instructor in physics for the fiscal year beginning Juiy 1, 1895, and ending June 30, 1896, with salary of $1500 for seid fiscal year. That Dr. A. C. Alexander be appointed as- sistant in physics, with salary of $900 for said tiscal year. That Arthur Incell be reappointed assist- ant in physics, with pay of $600 for said fiscal ear. ¥ hat Arthur Jordan be appointed stu sssistant in thedepartment of physics, vi Coleman, with pay of $300 for said fiscal vear. That the salary of E.R. Drew be increased | from $1200 per annum to $1500. That C. M. Leach be appointed instructor in history with a selary of $1000. That Clive Day be ‘appointed instructor in history with salary of $1000. That F. E. Haynes' term of service in the department of history and political science close June 30, 1895. That Eugene Pitcher be appointed assistant in Latin. | At the meeting of the board held June 11, | 1895, the matter of the appointment of Clifton | Price as instructor in Latin, vice L. J. Richard- | son, was referred to the committee on internal | administration with power. Your committee | have to report thatthey have appointed Clifton | Price instructor in Latin, with salary of $1200 for the fiscal year beginning July 1, 1895, and ending June 30, 1896. Your commiitee recommend that John Mitchell be appointed armorer, said appoint- ment to date from May 15, 1895. The apportionment for the armorer’s salary at the present time is $30 a_month. We wish to state that it is not probable that Mr. Mitch- 1 can or will remain long for that amount. 'he university has already lost one good armorer, Mr. Sheidon, who was not willing to remain at $30 a month. We therefore suggest that the board adjust the armorer’s salary. Your committee recommends the follow- ing reappointments: W. H. Wright, fellow in mathematics, for one year from July 1, 1895, with salary of $50 a month; A. V.Saph, fel- low in mathematics, for one year from July 1, 1895, with salary of $50 a month; F. H. Bearls, assistant in students’ observatory, for one year from July 1, 1895, with salary of $25 a month; Ira Currier, machinist and fire- man in the mechanical department, for one year from July 1, 1895, with salary of $75 & month. The matter of the deficit in the funds came up again in the shape of a resolution introduced by Mr. Hallidie, referring the same to the committees on finance and internal administration, they tosubmit the result of their consideration” to the board at a meeting to be held on the 23d inst. It was adopted. A committee representing the San Lean- dro Board of Trade presented itself before the regents to urge that the school of in- dustry which the board contemplates erecting out of the Wilmerding beauest of $250,000 be located at San Leandro. It | ai | | es tening to the proposition the board de: cided that it would take no action until the San Leandroites presented more def- inite proposals. When this was disposea of the board considered_a proposition of appointing Professor Freyer to the Agassiz chair of Oriental languages at a salary of $3000a year. An argument followed, as it was | represented that the professor could not devote his whole time to the work. It was thought best by some to offer the professor 0 a month for actuul work periormed. he result was the secretary was author- ized to correspond with the professor and obtain his views regarding salary and his time. A report was received from Professor Holden of the Lick University announc- ing the following changes ther: Profes- sor R. H. Tucker, salary increased from $1800 to $2000 a year; W.J. Hussey, ap- pointed zastronomer at the observatory with a salary of $2000, to take the place of Professor Barnard, resigned; D. G. Aitken appointea assistant astronomer, salary §600; Professor C. 1. Perrine, salary in- creased from $1200 to §1320. These changes | place beginning January 1, 1896. It s also announced that T. Ellert Beans of San Jose had gziven another $100 toward the Crossley telescope. After the transaction of considerable routine business the board adjourned. PRACTICABLE SOCIALISH, Dr. Scott’s Address to the Institute of Applied Christianity. H. J. McCoy’s Reason for Refusing Shelter to the Institute—Com- ing Speakers. Dr. J. E. Scott addressed the Institute of Applied Christianity at the Third Con- gregational Church last evening. His sub- ject was, “Is Socialism Practicable?”” “‘Socialism, as I understand it,” said he, “is caring for society and its needs righteously. It isan interpretation of the text, ‘Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thy- self.” There is no reaszon that socialism shall be deemed other than in conformity to the letter as well as spirit of the gospel of Christ.” Dr. Scott traced briefly the history of socialistic movements in this country, and spoke of the Brook Farm as the most im- portant of those attempts. “‘Onereason that efforts in that line have failed is that they have becn as much com- munistic as socialistic,”” said Dr. Scott. “There has been an invasion into family life and that cannot be brooked. It a pernicious element and has no place in socialism. Another ditficulty has been disagreement about the distribu- tion of values. Socialism claims t labor is the cause or source of value. There is a cloud upon the title of those whose wealth consists in interest from: busi- ness or investment, and it is a cloud that is more real in the sunlight of modern in- telligence. Society is knit together as an organic whole, and an effort to withhold property as belonging entirely to an in- ividual or class is sure to fail. To say that socialism is i because human nature is sy that socialism is impractic: is needed. We hear that men cannot be legislated into unselfishnes: That is true, but neither can we legisiate men into hon- vet we would not repeal our laws nst theft. | The social problem of the future is to unite individual liberty with a practical interest in the good of the community. | England is demonstrating the practica- | bility of socialism. America is following | close behind the mother country. Itisa | question of a great fraternal community | as opposed to a conflict of fraternal inter- | ests. One of the audience inquired how long | Dr. Scott thought it would be, if present | conditions continued, before there would be a revolution. The doctor replied that he hoped there would be a peaceful revo- lution soon. If a more formidable revolu- | tion occurred it would probably have few { harbingers, but come like lightning out of | said the trouble was caused by | the fact that all the money of the world was owned by fifteen persons. Rev. E. J. Dupuy said the young people in the so-called university at Palo Alto are | taught that life is a struggle in which the | means of success is ‘‘downing others.” | He believes that education is the chief agency of advancing socialism. It was announced that Rev. E. J. Dupuy would address the mstitute on the subject | of “Christianity as Applied to Society,” | on Tuesday evening. Rev. F. B. Pullan will speak on_ the subject of “Emulation anda_Competition” on the 23d inst. Rev. G. W. Henning will give his lecture, “A | Fallen Nation,” before the institute on the 30tn inst. Rev. E. J. Dupuy, secretary of the In- stitute, had written Secretaryv H. J. M. Coy, asking why the Young Men’s Chri tia. Association had denied that body a piace of meeting in its building. The fol- Powinglstter, in sesponse:to.the inquiry, was read : E. J. Dupuy, Secretary Institute Applied Christ anity—MY DEAR SIR: Your esteeined favor of June 25 reached our office during my absence from the City, and I take this, my earliest op- portunity, of replying to the same. It has been the rule of our association for all time to have nothing whatever to do with an thing that created a_division in public sex ment, or where there were points of contro- versy involved. This was the only reason your society was refused permanent headquarters at our building. E Wishing you all possible blessing ard suc- cess 1n your good work, I remain very sincerely 1S, H. J. McCoy, General Secretary. No action was taken in reference to the matter. e A OOUNTERFEITER ARRESTED. ‘William Hildebrand, Who Escaped F¥rom San Bernardino, in Jail. ‘William Hildebrand. alias Wiiliam Ben- ninger, alias Walter Meyer, the San Ber- nardino counterfeiter, was run to earth by Assistant Unite@ States Secret Service Agent Dudley Harris yesterday, and is now in the custody of Marshal Baldwin. Hildebrand is said to have passed over $500 in counterfeit dollars, halves and quarters before he was suspected. As soon as the authorities went to search his place he fled to San Francisco and has been in hiding ever since. Chief Crowley was notified and the police have been after him for a month, but no trace of him could be found until Agent Harris got on his trail. He tracked him to Oakland, and finally lecated him at 4314 Everett street with the assistance of one of Madison & Burke'’s collectors. Hildebrand saw Harris coming and at- tempted to get away. In escaping from a deputy Marshal, however, he ran into the arms of Agent Harris and was placed under arrest. He will be sent to Los An- geles to stand trial. One of the witnesses against Hildebrand was a Mrs. Julia McGowan, who kept a bakery at 17 Rich street. She died sud- denly from natural causes yesterday, and the authorities will now have to procure evidence from San Bernardino to hold the prisoner. —————— About a Butcher’s Shop. S. B. Badarons was arrested yesterday on & warrant charging him with obtaining money by false pretenses. The complaining witness is C. 8. Gildert, 10084 Seventh street, Oaklanda, who alleges that on May 8 Badarons sold him a butcher-shop at 820 Howard street for $150, and he afterward 1ound that Badarons had no interest whatever in the shop. Badarons de- nies the allegation and says that the shop was placed in the name of Gildert's wife. They worked tosether for about two months, but the business did not pay, and the trouble has arisen about the distribution of the fixtures and a horse and buggy. ——————— Not Simply a Summer Resort, But & health sanitarium as well, with the presented the advantages of San Leandro in eloquent language, and said its town ~aonld concede many privileges.

Teague’'s Address Recalls Some of the Early History. fifth annual meeting of the alifornia State Dental Association is in session in the stomotological rooms in the Academy of Sciences building. The fol- lowing named officers answered to rollcall at the opening session yesterday morning: President L. A. Teazue, Vice-President 1. W. Hayes Jr., Secretary W. Z. Corresponding Secretary C. E. Post, Third Vice-President W. F. Lewis, Treasurer T. N. Iglehart. The president appointed a committee on order of business as follows: George Van Orden, R. H. Cool and A. H. Wallace, who { exercised over the thought of what the experi- ment might prove, for they foresaw some of the possibilities. Dr. Wells assumed the responsibility by ad- ministering the nitrous oxide gas o hizaselt and only divided the responsibility with Dr. Riggs in the removal of the tooth. Dr. Riggs said it was a time full of exciting and thrilling thoughts. These were but the birthpangs of a discovery that has tenderly held thousands of mortal beings in deep and sweet sleep durine the marvelous operations that have been made possible since that hour, These two men are entitled to the undivided attention in all thatelaims our united praise. Very few men could measure up to Dr. Riggs' standard of practical velue in professional in- tegrity. His name will ultimately stand in the annals of our history among the foremost of our worthy confreres. The evening session was devoted to the reading and discussion of papers, and was attended by about fifty members of the profession, among whom were several la- dies, Dr. Craig of Oakland and Dr. Tread- well of San Francisco being of the num- b er. Dr. A. C. Hart of San Francisco read a paper on ‘‘Porcelain-faced Crowns.” A paper on ‘“Surgical Treatment of Ul- cerated Teeth,” written by Dr. J. G. Par- sons of San Diego, was read by Dr. Lewis of fan Francisco. Dr. L. Van Orden of San Francisco read a paper written by Dr. J. Koster Flagg_of Philadelphia on “Zinc Plastics.” Dr. Flagg was a vioneer practitioner in Cali- fornia, and the fact was referred to with some feeling by gentlemen who are inti- mate with him and his work. Applications for membership were read from Dr. Marion Ward Craig of Oakland, Dr. Walter F. Taylor of Sacramento and the following-named graduates of the Uni- FOSTER IS TURNED DOWN, Protest Against His Appoint- ment as Election Com- missioner. A LETTER AND THE REPLY. As an Old Republican He Reserved the Right to Scratch His Ticket. =The executive committee of the Repub- lican State Central Committee held a meeting yesterday afternoon to consider Mayor Sutro’s appointment of A. E. Cas- tle and Samuel Foster as Election Com- missioners under the new law. Shortly after 3 o’clock the meeting was called to order by the chairman P. B. Cornwall. The members of the executive committee present were: W. W. Montague, H. L. Dodge, James McNab, M. Cooney, David Kerr, Frank McQuaid, Leon Dennery, H. P. Sonntag and Asa R. Wells.

At the afternoon session the committee on membership reported favorably on the | applications made at the morning session y of Oliver Perry Meyers of San Francisco, A. H. Suggett of Marysville, A. M. Cop- | sey of San Francisco, John T. Grant of Woodland, who were duly elected by balllot. Vice-President Hayes assumed the chair during the reading of the president’s annual address and the discussion of it. President Teague read in substance as follows: After an interval of two years it is a pleasure g to representatives ession. That period has not The State society has both for itself and the whole fraternity. The closingof the first quar- terof a century of the dental organization on this coast was marked last year by a congress which was a forerunner of more to come, Twenty-five years ago there were a few dentists in this State with the full apprecia- tion of the many benefits of association and the greater dignity to & profession whose merits have 1ot been universally appreciated by the people at large. Those who took the lead 1n the formation and advancement in dental science were men of strong The first presiient was Dr. C. The good the early organization wrought was shared by the public as well as the fraternity. | This association has done nine-tenths of the good that has accrued to the dentists in this State through co-operative effort, and necessary legislation should emengte from it. The con- gress of last year awakened the desirability of associate work in interfor cities. We should be as liberal as possible in our effort toward affiliation, end condone slight transgressions of the code. We cannot disci line non-members, but our power over mem- ers will have a good effect. 1 hope proper action will be taken in the raising of funds for the erection of a monu- ment to Horace Wel We should also do something in the matter of a testimonial to the late ex-president of our own society. Dr. W. F. iswold, o man of excelient qualities, and Dr. William B. Kingsbur: ne of the old guard. We must also select delegates to the next congress of dentists, to be held in 1897. The American Dental Association must be asked to meet in San Francisco next year. I hope on the completion of the session to be able to congratilaie the society on its con- tinuance of the good work started in 1870, and keeping step with the march of improvements, both in physicaland mechanical sciences, until in this year 1895 we have achieved an eminence that commands the recognition of Stomotolo- gists, as a body entitied to a place among the learned professions. Dr. de Cole of San Jose said: I joined the society in Illinois thirty vears | ago. I was afraid to go before the board for | examination. I thoughtl was going to make great revelations in_the association. But I soon saw how little I knew, and I have tried to grow. We should not be too strict in qualifi- cations for membership. I wasmuch impressed when reference was made to the death of Dr. Kingsbury. He was a resident of San Jose. I remember him as he appeared a few days be- fore he died. le was in feeble healih, and | presentea a sad and pathetic picture. Dr. de Cole of San Jose, Dr. Younger of San Francisco, Dr. McCowan of Ukiah and Dr. Van Orden responded to the presi- dent’s address. Dr. Metcalf of Sacramento read an essay on *“‘Longevity,” in which he considered the laws of diet and general care of the health, and referred more particularly to that much abused organ, the stomach. The doctor read in part: An analysis of what goes into the stomach in twenty-four hours would be startling. If the stomach could talk, what & tale of woe it would impart. How often it would say, “what's coming next?’ Nothing is so con- ducive to long life, mental and bodily vigor as good digestion. Statistics show that the average length of life is on the increase. Is it not due ina measure 10 dentistry and the education of the masses regarding the laws of health?

A HOME NDUSTRY FAR Large Plans for the Coming Mechanics’ Institute Exposition. Conference Eetween the Directors and Business Men and Manufacturers. To make the Twenty-eighth Industrial Exposition of the Mechanics’ Institute, which opens in this City on August 13, a success in ever way the institute directors having the affair in charge are striving to arouse an interest among the manufact- urers and producers not only of the City | but of the State. Their idea is to make the coming exposi- tion as distinctly a Californian one as possible in the way of exhibits. In addi- tion to the manuiacturers and producers, it has also been sought to bring the various bodies, organized for the purpose of in- vigorating the State’s progress into line. With this end in_view, invitations were sent out to the Half-milhon Club, the Manufacturers’ and Employers’ Associa- tion, the Merchants’ Association, the Man- ufacturers and Producers’ Association and the Board of Trade to send representatives to meet and confer with the trustees of the Mechanices’ Institute regarding the matter. A response was made all around, and the meeting took place in the institute rooms last night. President A. S. Hallidie of the institute called the meeting to order and stated 1ts object. He said that the institute was anxious to get advice and suggestions from business men and others who had the wel- fare of home industry at heart ‘as to the exposition and the proposed plan of mak- ing it an exhibition of home products and distinctively representative of Californian industries. It was not alone necessary to have the exhibition opened on these lines, but it was equally necessary to arouse an interest among the people of the interior and coast. It was hoped that large num- bers of people could be induced to come from interior points to view the exposition if they could do so at reduced rates of transportation. He called upon M. 8. Kohlberg of the Merchants’ Association to take the chair cussion of the evening followed based upon the suggestions of Mr. Hallidie. Vanderlyn Stow said that jn his opinion representatives from the Mechanies’ Insti- tute and the other organizations should call upon the Southern Pacific Railroad Company and_endeavor to get a definite answer as to whether the company would run excursion trains to the city from coast points when the fair was in progress. “I don’t think they will run such trains,” said the chairman, “as it would interfere with their regular traffic. Some arrange- ments for reduced rates might be made though.” i Some further discussion resuited in a motion to have the president of the five bodies represented appoint one member to act as a committee with an institute mem- ber to wait upon the railroad people, not only those of the Southern Pacific but local lines, as well as the steamship com- panies, with a view of inducing them to reduce rates for persons visiting the fair. This was carried. In regard to exhibits it was resolved that the secretary request the officers of the to encourage a spirit of enthusiasm among the members and doeverything possible to get California producers and manufacturers to make exhibits in the exposition. ———— Boys and a Powder Can. Willie and James Donahue, two boys who live at 155114 Kearny street, were taken to the Receiving Hospital yesterday morning to have their faces and hands, which were badly burned, dressed. They went to the cellar to patched a messenger-boy with the follow- ing letter addressed to Samuel Fosterat his place of business on California street: SAN FRANCISCo, July 9, 1895. Samuel Foster—DEAR Sir: There will be a meeting this afternoon of the executive com- mittee of the Republican State Central Com- mittee at the committee-room, No. 27, third floor, 419 California street, to take action on | the Mayor's appointment of two Republican members of the Board of Election Commis- fiilflners of the City and County of San Fran- cisco. 1 had not supposed that there would be any opposition to yourself for the position named, but find that several people are industriousiy asserting that you voted the Populist and not the Republican ticket at the last election. 1 have been requested by members of the executive committee to ask of you a frank answer to the question whether or no you did sovote. A brief note by the bearer stating that you voted the entire Republican State ticket at the last election would settle the question and I presume that you will be con- firmed without controversy. ~Sincerely yours, P. B. CORNWALL, Cheirman Republican State Central Com- mittee. To the foregoing letter Mr. Foster sent the following reply: BAN FrANcISco, July 9, 1895. P. B. Cornwall, Chairman Republican State Committee—DEAR SIR: Yours of even date is re- ceived. I too had not supposed there would be any opposition to myself for the position named. I have never been a Populist or af- filiated with that party or voted for that ticket. On the conttary, I have always been a Repub- lican from the days of Fremont until the pres- enttime. No one scquainted with me can question my Republicanism and no opposition can be made on that ground, and that is, I be- lieve, the only ground for objection by the law creating the Board of Election Comm?sslonerm have always reserved the right to scratch a name on my ticket if I thought by so doin, ublic welfare was subserved. I am entitle y my political record and standing to the ap- ointment which has been tendered to me and t shall be my aim to see the law faithfully car- ried out and justice done to the Republican party and to the whole people. I remain, very respectfully, SAMUEL FOSTER. Mr. Foster’s reply was not sufficiently clear and definite to satisfy a majority of the members of the executive committee attending the meeting. When the ques- tion was put to vote, after discussion for nearly two hours, the committee decided to protest against Mr. Foster’s appoint- ment. There were no reasons advanced for pro- testing ngainst the appointment of A. E. Castle and therefore the silence of the committee signifies acceptance. In the absence of the regular secretary of the committee Frank McQuaid per- formed the duties of that office. The chairman was instructed to prepare a reso- lution in accordance with the sentiments expressed by the committee, and last even- ing the secretary delivered the resolution of protest to Mayor Sutro. The resolution simply sets forth that the Republican State Central Committee pro- tests against the nomination and appoint- ment of Samuel Foster for the position of Election Commissioner on the ground that he is not a Republican and dgid not vote the Republican State ticket at the last election. It was ascertained after the meeting ad- journed that the opposition to Mr. Foster was led by M. Cooney and Frank McQuaid. Efforts to down him in the committee were begun as sorn as the appointment was announced and the result of Tues- day’s_session proves that they (Cooney nndkoanid) did some very effective work. It transpires that Mr. Foster had warm supporters in the committee and among them were W. W. Montague, H. L. Dodge and James McNab. The resolution of protest was adopted by a very alight ma- jority. The only reason advanced for pro- testing was Foster’s lack of fidelity to the party. The letter given above did not fur- nish the only ground, for active members of the committee submitted proof which was deemed conclusive that Mr. Foster did not vote for M. M. Estee for Governor at the election last fall. The inference is clear that he must have voted for Budd, as he distinctly denies in his answer to P. B. Cornwall’s [etter that he voted the Popu- list ticket. Of course, he could have voted the Prohibition ticket, but that was not counted by the committee. A party pressure was brought to bear on the committee to convince members that only Republicans of the straight-out and never-bolting kind should be allowed on the Election Board as representatives of the party. P. B. Cornwall, himself chair- man of the committee, and one who enter- tains h:‘gh regard for Mr. Foster, is inclined to stand up firm and erect for party asser- tion in this respect. chop some wood and after lighting a match, %‘rgw it byl bmé-ukal 1;.:0 ndegg l‘i’fbo powder. ‘re was a loud explosion an t] 'S were found dazed and baaly burned. L Perhaps it would be treating Mr. Estee in a manner which he might regard as unkind to say that his influence was cast inst Mr.” Foster's confirmation. He says that he has no interest in politics beyond that of securing good men to con- duct elections, but he does not neglect to introduce his doubts as to Mr. Foster's fidelit‘v to the party. Mr. Estee affirms that Foster did not vote for him at the last election. This executive committee which yester- day declared that Mr. Foster was not a Republican was appointed by Mr. Estee last summer to conduct the State cam- ;mign in Mr. Estee’s behalf as candidate or Governor. The State convention or the State Central Committee created by the convention conceded to Mr. Estee the privilege -of naming the executive com- mittee and he designated the following to compose it: P.

St Edward Sweeney Redding. W. H. Chicsering, Alameda. Ten of these gentlemen met yesterday in a room adjoining Mr. Estee’s law offices and at that meeting Samuel Foster was turned down. Mr. Cornwall believes that the committee can keep on protesting until Mayor Sutro names a man whose party record will stand the test of committee investigation. “We can keep on protesting under the law,” said Mr. Cornwall, ‘‘as long as grass grows and water runs, and in the end the act creating the commission may be de- clared unconstitutional.” Mayor Sutro was interviewed last night on the subject of Mr. Foster’s rejection. He sai I shall make another appoint- ment immediately. I will think over the matter to-night and be ready to-morrow morning with another name. “The Republican Committee,"” continued the Mayor, “made a mistake in protesting against the appointment of Mr. Foster. He is a thorough Bepublic: and a good man, but I shalligive them “the name of another man finer than the first—one that they cannot reject.” The Mayor declined to give the name of the individual that he intends to appoint to-day. Daly was supposed to be 1n the race when Foster was designated. and a ressure may be made in his behalf. The ist of applicants before the Mayor is said to contain a legion of names. Members of the Union League Club were surprised when they heard that the com- mittee had rejected the appointment of Mr. Foster. So sure was the club that Mr. Foster would be confirmed that the follow- ing resolution was sent to him before the committee met: “The Union League Club requests the Flmsurc of your company at a dinner to be given in honor of the newly appointed Election Commissioners on Monday even- 1ng, July 15, at7 o’clock.” ANUFACTURERS ~ WEET, Discussion of the Proposed Incorporation of the Asso- ciation. It WIII Necessitate the Reduction of the Number of Directors to Eleven. The regular monthly meeting of the board of directors of the Manufacturers’ and Producers’ Association of California was held last night, Louis Saroni presid- ing. There were present A. Sbarboro, John Hammoud, W. T. Bowers, S. Sproule, J. P. Currier, Julian Sonntag, M. J. Keller and L. R. Mead. Zan Bros. called attention to the fact that brooms are being manufactured by the Asylum for the Blind across the bay, and sold for about one-half the ordinary cost of manufacture. The matter was re- ferred to the grievance committee, with in- structions to communicate with the asylum managers. The trustees of the Mechanics’ Institute were invited to meet and confer with the association. The committee on promotion was empowered to act in the premises. The special committee on the adoption of a distinctive California trademark re- ported unfavorably and a long discussion followed. Tt was urged against it that irresponsible parties would use such trade- mark to work off inferior goods and that the association could not protect its trade- mark. The special committee on incorporation reported in favor of that step. A long dis- cussion followed and finally Mr. Sproule, seconded by Mr. Sonntag, moved that the association incorporate. This was carried, but when it was found that incorporating would reduce the number of directors from tifteen to eleven the chairman promptly declared the motion out of order. He held that the board could not reduce its membership from the fifteen required by the present by-laws. An appeal was taken, but on the vote the chair was sus- tained. On motion of Mr. Sonntag the chair was instructed to appoint a committee of three to visit San Jose and expound the objects of the association. The chairman "will make the appointments in a few da) On motion of SBecretary Mead a commit- tee of three was ordered appointed by the president to devise ways and means for raising further funds necessary for the rapidly growing work of the association. —— e ———— Land and theimprovements upon it con- stitute the first and most important item of our National wealth.

RRITABILITY IS ONE OF THE WORDS that your schoolboy likes to spell out and fill his mouth in sounding, but it expresses the acme of the undesirable in the complex man. An irritable man will make his wife, his children, his friends, his minister, his lawyer, nervous and unhappy for the moment at least. Now, an irritable person is generally a person suffering from a_nervous disorder. Sometimes it is due tooverwork, overstudy, and is always com- bined with fretting. Mr. H. G. Mulky of Corvallis, Or., suffered not longfaco from irritability and nervous exhaustion. He suffers no longer. He sent us his testimonial and photo.
