Death of the Pioneer Doctor of the Pacific Coast. LOS ANGELES, CaL., July 22. — Dr. rd 8. Den died some time Saturday it in his rooms in the Baker block, this city, but the fact was not discovered until to-night. An examination by Police Surgeon Bry- ant showed death to be due to fatty de- generation of the heart. Telegrams were at once sent to relatives at Santa Barbara and Los Alamos. Dr. Den had friends all over the coast who will regret to learn of his sudden de- cease. He was the oldest practicing physi- cian on the Pacific Coast, having practiced in the State since his ival in 1845. He was born in Kilkenny County, Ire- land, in 1822, and graduated as a physician from Dublin College in 18 The follow- ing year he sailed from his native country as sirgeon on a vessel bound around the Horn to California, arriving in San Fran- cisco in the early part of 1845, During the gold excitement of 1849 he mined to some extent in the north, and afterward was director and manager of a ranch in Santa Barbara in company with & brother.

PORTLAND, Or., July — Louis Smithie, in jail here for cow-stealing, recently made a sensational confession to having murdered George Young of Soda- ville, Cal., three years ago. It is now thought that Smithie is the vie- tim of a mere hallucination. To-day he was examined before the board of physi- cians who pronounce it one of the most re- markable cases of apparent mental de- rangement they ever saw. They agree the prisoner is mentally un- balanced, but whether ke committed the murder he claims be did is puzzling. 22 George Young of Sodaviile disappeared | under mysterious circumstances three years ago, and it was claimed he was mur- dered. Young’s wife was infatuated with Smithie, and she has fellowed and lived with him ever since. The woman, who is also in jail, denies that her husband was murdered, and s Smithie is laboring under a delusion. Smithie stoutly adheres 40 the story of the murder. S e SEATTLE’S PULICE CHIEF. Charged With Aiding a Jail-Breaker to Make Good His Escape. SEATTLE,WasH.,July 22.—An afternoon paper publishes a story to-day to the effect that Chief of Police Bolton Rogers aided Frank J. Hart, a bunco man, in making good his escape at the time of the County Jail delivery last March, wherein the noted murderer, Tom Black, aud ten others were liberated. As the story goes, Rogers arrested Hart, afterward liberating him for $10 in cash and the promise of $350 more. It appears ,that Hart was packed in a dry-goods box and shipped as freight from this city to Pascoe. ‘I'here he made his escape, going thence to Mexico, where he is at present said to be sojourning. The paper publishesa letter, .vouching for its authenticity, purporting to have been written by Hart from Salem, Or., to John W. Cousidine of Spokane, un- folding the scheme as to his flight and the machinations of Rogers. OF CUXEY FAME. Land of His Female Leader to Be Sold on a Judgment.

It Extends Only to the Middle of the Channel of the Columbia. PORTLAND, Or., July 22.—An impor- tant decision was rendered here to-day by Judge Bellinger of the United States Court, who decreed that Oregon has not power or right to regulate salmon fishing on the whole width of the Columbia River, but only to the middle ot the channel of the river, to which point the jurisdiction of the State extends. Fish and Game Warden McGuire and all the State authorities have contended that by virtue of the law passed when the State was one of | of Oregon was organized Oregon was given jurisdiction over the entire river. A con- flict of authority between the States of Washington and Oregon has been going on for years, but the points of difference between the statutes of the two States have never been brought into court. This decision was brought about by the application of Herman Mattson of Astoria for a writ of habeas corpus. Mattson was arrested for violating the Sunday close law of Oregon and the Fish and Game \\'agdqn sought to enforce the law, claiming State jurisdiction over the whole river.

McKin- ley, secretary of the Orange” County Fruit Exchange, states that the last orders for the season will probably be placed with the association of Orange County this week, and that the work will result in a clean-up of all fruits contracted to the as- sociation except some standard seedlings, for which it will be impossible to find a market. Mediterranean Sweets have gone off ata lively rate during the past two weeks at prices that will net growers 40 cents per box. The fruit as a rule is in splendid con- dition, which speaks well for the keeping qualities of Orange County fruit. A rebate of §6000 has been received by the executive committee from the refriger- | ator car service and has been distributed | among the different exchanges. Orange County’s share of the sum is $525 60. These rebates will amount to $16,000 for the sea- son, and $2000 from this source will reach the pockets of Orange County growers. Heretofore the commission men pocketed these rebates and they added considerably to their “‘sure-thing” profits. SELMA SPORTSMEN. They Leave for a Deer Hunt in the High Sierras.

WILL GIVE CHEAP FUEL. The Oakland Jute Mill Will Remove Its Plant to Stockton. IT EMPLOYS MANY HANDS. Other Important Manufacturing Enterprises Expected to Fol- low Sult. STOCKTON, Cin., July 22.—I R.Wil- bur, the right of way agent of the Valley Railway, states that the proprietors of the Oakland jutemill have decided to remove their business to this city. The jutemill employs from 400 to 600 hands, and it is understood that nearly all of the employes will be whites. Boys and girls, for the most part, will be given jobs, but it will require also a number of expe- rienced men as overseers. The mill manufactures various kinds of bags and twine, and as most bf the work is done by machinery the labor is not heavy. It is understood that the contemplated removal of the mill to this city is a direct result of the Corral Hollow Ruilway pro- ject. Some time ago the proprietors of the jute works were talking of bringing their business to Stockton, but they wanted this city to give them a bonus. Now they are anxious to come without a bonus, on ac- count of the cheap coal supply which the building of the Corral Hollow road will insure. This is the first industry to be attracted here by the new road, upon which Stockton relies to build up her manu- factories. Itisexpected that as soon as the road is actually begun a number of other important manufacturing enterprises will be drawn hither. A BURGLAE SHOT. His Attempt to Escape Cut Short by a Load of Buckshot. STOCKTON, CAL., July 22.—John Mohr of Mohr’s Landing brings the story of the shooting of a burglar at Byron this morn- ing at1o'clock. For the past few weeks there have been several attemptsto rob the general merchandise store of W. H. Johnson there, but each time the burglar has been disturbed and once he left his tools behind. Last night it became known to Holway, who keeps the hotel at Byron, that some one was in the establishment, and he sum- moned a number of citizens to assist him in capturing the burglar. All were well armed and surrounded the building. A man was seen to let himself down by a rope from one of the upper windows, and as soon as he alighted Holway called upon him to halt. Instead of heeding the de- mand, the man disposed of what he had in his hands and fled. As he started away Holway gave him the contents of his gun in the back. The gun was loaded with buckshot and most of the leaden missiles took effect on the burglar. ‘When he was picked up he was found to be severely wounded and at last reports grave doubts were entertained for his re- covery. The wounded man is a stranger to the residents of Byron, and says his name is James Donnelly. It is thought he is a new hand at the business. A hunt was made for a supposed partner in crime, but without results. A VALUABLE WATER. Said to Be the Equal of the Product of Carlsbad. STOCKTON, Caw., July 22.—Stockton is to be advertised by its mineral water, and itis claimed it will be the best 4n the United States. It was recently discovered that the product of one of the gas wells here is remarkably palatable when charged with carbonic acid gas. Itis an excellent seltzer and promises to make a name for itself among the famous mineral waters. A sample was recently sent to a large wholesale house in Chicago, which pro- nounced it to be superior even to the waters of Carlsbad in many respects. The man who owns the well has kept the fact a secret and it only leaked out to-day. Good Roads Agitation. STOCKTON, Car., July 22.—-Marsden Manson and R. C. Irvine, répresenting the Bureau of Public Highways, addressed a meeting of the Supervisors to-day relative to good roads in this county.

Last Day of the Session of the W. C. T. U. School of Methods. PACIFIC GROVE, Car., July 22.—To- day was the closing day of W.C.T.U. School of Methods. Mrs. Robert Bentley of Berkeley conducted the discussion of heredity based on a lecture by Joseph Cook. Interesting points were presented by several speakers, all tending to show heredity is but the fulfillment of the natu- ral law; that what a man soweth his children will be likely to reap, but that a proper study of the subject will show how some hereditary tendencies may be overcome. A striking paper on the promotion of gnricy along the lines recently laid down y B. 0. Flower in the Arena,” by Mrs. M. E. Teats, was read, and elicited hearty .E' plause. More purity in home life was the dominant thought. The training of the oung and the election of cleaner men {o public Elu:es were recommended. Dr. M. B. Mallory sent a practical paper on “No-license Campaigns,” which was read by the secretary, after which the school adjourned. eond N I CAMPERS AT SANTA MONICA. ZLarge Additions Being Made to the As- semblage of Spiritualists. SANTA MONICA, Cav., July 22.—The second day of the Spiritualists of South- ern California camp-meeting was attended by a larger crowd than yesterday and many new tenters were on the beach. The day’s proceeding proved to be intenselfy interesting, from net only a spiritualistic standpeint, but to the large number of skeptics, as they call non-believers, in the 0 CALL, TUESDAY, JULY 23, 1895. audience. The tests so far have not been beyond the ordinary, but the speaking and oratory to-day was far aboye the average, the chief speaker being Professor ffnwman. of Populist Congressional fame. The gentleman spoke on the Bible and spiritualism, alleging that the Seng- tures proved spiritualism to be true, tak- ing up the matter under special subjects and quoting Scripture liberally to prove his statements. - 5 PASSES COUNTERFEIT COIN. Clever Scheme by Which Lodging-House Keepers Arve Swindled. SAN DIEGO, Car., July 22.—Counterfeits of $5 gold pieces are in circulation here. Most of the victims are lodging-house people. A neatly clad man, in a light business suit and a straw hat, who does not give any name, has been in the habit of apvearing late at night and engaging a cheap room for a day or two. He offers $5, and gets $4 to $4 75 changeinsilver. He 1s never seen after taking the room. The coiny are good in color and carefully molded on both faces, but the milling on the edges is coarse and irregular. Their great defect, by which they may be easily recognized, is their weight. They are too light by half, but the coins lying upon a counter weuld be likely to deceive anybody. —— Fated to a Violent Death. SANTA MONICA, CAL., July 22.—Ar- thur B. Hanson, a Swede, who formerly werked on the Los Angeles outfall sewer and was severely hurt by an explosion on the works, was killed to-day by an engine of the Santa Fe mnnin;rover him and cut- ting him to pieces.

FTCH'S OPINIONS His Pamphlet Soon to Be Issued Will Contain Plain Talk. A FEW INCIDENTAL STATISTICS. Arguments Lald Down on the Lines ‘That Woman Has One Duty and Man Another. “‘Yes, I am preparing a pamphlet touch- ing upon woman’s rights, and I will at- tempt to show that she has gone too far,” said Dr. George L. Fitch last evening. “Formerly woman was a slave—yes, a slave—to man, but he in his goodness and manliness raised her up from a hife of serv- itude =o that she became his companion, his associate and his beloved. He made her all that she is to-day, and it is her duty to guard his home, and be to him what God intended her to be—the guardian of his family and his domestic happiness. Lecky, the English historian, says: ‘The family is the center and archetype of the state, and the happiness and goodness of society are alwaysin a very great degree dependent upon the purity of domestic life.” “That is the basis and substance of woman’s duty, and upon those lines the world will some day conduct its great fam- ily. I will attemptto show that the ap- palling death rate, very greatly the result of woman’s absence of womanhood, is the one threatening and damning cloud that hangs over civilization, “Woman failing to be what the Creator intended her to ie is causing the white race to diminish rapidly. In Sweden the birth rate is one-fifth less than the death rate; in Denmark and England one-third; in Prussia one-fourth; in Russia, Spain, Germany and France one-half. In France alone the death rate, independent of those killed in battle or dying in the army, ex- ceeds the actual births by an alarming percentage. “Right here in America, New England, the native-born death rate is greatly in excess of the births. Marriage is simply dying out, and at the present time four- fifths of our men at 25 are unmarried, at 30 45.98 per cent are unmarried, at 35 26.50 per cent, at 45 15.75 per cent. “‘What will be the result? It needs no argument. The nation whose death rate exceeds that of its birth rate cannot live, and the end is clear. I have but one thing to show, and that is that woman has de- serted her duty as a wife and a mother and has usurped the duties and occupa- tions of man. Igoon toshow that man is made for one thing and that woman is made for another. It is the old story of two jobs looking for one person and two persons looking for one job. That's the way it is now. There is but one job, and there should be but one applicant for it. That npilicam should be man *You hear people say that women are in every way equal to men. Itisa factthat the average weight of a woman’s brain is forty-four ounces, and it is also a fact that the average weight of a man’s brain is forty-nine and a half ounces. Pbysical conditions permit a man to enjoy the use of his braPr: at all times, and there are times when a woman cannot. “Woman is the connecting link between childhood and manhood. Beyond that her functions are limited. There she will find that the spark of love and affection which should live in the breast of everg woman will be to her the solace of life, an the pleasure it will give her will bestronger than any satisfaction she can secure out- side of her aYpointed sphere.” “When will you be prepared to put this work before the public?” ““When Susan B. Anthony and Anna Shaw return to this City to begin another crusade against the heads of the house- holds. I will then give it to the public, and I hope it will show that the woman is 2 mother and wife, and not a reformer. I will be very plain in parts of it, and I will say a spade is a spade when it isa spade.” “What remedy will you set forth to change those conditions that you consider detrimental to civilization?’ “Man should take back to himself. his lost manhood and be true and pure and manly and act as the head of the house, and insist upon his wife performing the duties of a woman. That will be my remedy. The time will soon come when man will be called upon to say whether or not he will stand at the head of his house- hold and earn for his sons and daughters and his wife an honest living and a home of peace and manliness and love.” THE QUESTION OF FLAGS, Independent Companies Dis- satisfled With Budd’s Conditions. Armed Marchers Who Have Ten- der Spots In Their Hearts for National Colors. The announcement of Governor Budd'’s decision as to the terms and conditions under which independent military com- panies and semi-military organizations may parade or drill with arms has caused & commotion among the members of un- attached companies in this City. The probable result will be the disbandment of at least four of the organizations and the elimination of the military feature from others. The cause of the troublelies in the stipu- lation that while marching or drilling under arms no flag other than the stars and stripes shall be carried. The inde- pendent military men do not object to tak- ing the oath of allegiance. They are per- fectly willing to place themselves under State control and become liable for active service when needed. Most of them are content to submit their constitution and by- laws to the Governor for_approval. Butif they cannot carry coordlnsuli with the stars and stripes’ the flag of their native land they will not drill—that’s all. Among the French citizens of this City there are three semi-military organiza- tions—the Lafayette Guard, the ion Francaise and the French Zouaves. They have been in existence for nearly thirty years and are among the wealthiest inde- pendent companies in the City. Their members are aggrieved because they can no longer parade with the tricolor. “There can be no French company with- out a French flag,” said J. Michel, presi- dent of the Legion Francaise, yesterday, *and I see nothing for it but to disband. Our uniforms are, of course, the regular officers’ uniforms of the French army, and we could, I suppose, turn out with swords B:Itps well; or we could, perhaps, change e into a banner and carry it that o o deci:iag én the m:fi" ]in h;elg reached as yet, but personally I woi favor dhhanglng." “The Lafayette Guard will disband, I think, and out all its arms,” said President. Bique of that organization when questioned on the subject. ‘‘What is the use of havin, ch uniforms without the French flag? We have carried the stars and stripes for thirty-two years, and the other flag too. If now we can carry it no more my idea isto fi;e up the whole thing. -*No steps king toward disbandment have yet been taken, and I must not be un- otherwise than as an the organization. The company will wait till it receives the way. official notification from the Governor 'mldl then call £ meeting to consider what sha be done. If it decides to continue drilling and so forth there is nothing for it, as I un; derstand the law, but to leave the flag a home.” % M. A.Godeau is president of the Frenc : Zouaves. “The matter was brought “l-’_;‘i a recent meeting of the company,’”’ he said, “under the head of ‘good and welfare, and there was a great deal of feeling mani- fested concerning it. The boys say that ¢ when this country needed aid during the Reyolution Lafayette and the French ren- dered it, and though we are patriotic Americans and true blue, we still have, naturaliy, a soft spot in our hearts for the old country.” We have no anarchists in our ranks, but are, on the contrary, all loyal citizens, and we cannot see what harm would be done by permitting us to carry the two flags, side by side, as has been done for years. & “In banner form? It might be feasible, perhaps, but the bovs will not have it that way. At the meeting I suggested that ’lt be made smaller and nsed as the marker's flag, but they will have it all or nothing. I think we wiil disband.” The dissatisfaction is by no means con- fined to the French. President V. Felis- setti of the Swiss Sharpshooters said: “We will give up our arms sooner than our flag, and if necessary disband the military part of our organization or turn itinto ‘a sort of ‘shooting section.’” I do not think that will be necessary, however. I believe that if we turn oui with both flags no one can prevent us, and any law to the contrary is, in my oylmon,»uncon’; stitutional. We will probably test it, too. The members of the Veteran Guard of California are of the opinion that their organization does not come under the pro- visions of the new law. They say they do not need to take any oath, as they did that years ago. If desired, however, they are perfectly willing to comply with any formalities that may be necessary. AT THE COURSING PARK.

A:Long Disputed Rivalry Settled Among HBicycle-Riders. BAN JOSE, CaL, July 22.—There was some good bicycle races over the Berryessa course yesterday afternoon, and an un- usual interest was awakened in them owing to the fact that a long disputed rivalry was settled between the ridersin the vicinity of Wayne station. The five-mile handicap had the following starters: Paul McCoy, Ned Williston and T. Harrington, scratch; D. E. O’Brien, 1 minute; B. Fox and T. O’Brien, 1:45, and D. O'Brien, 2:50. % B. Fox won, D. O'Brien second, T, O'Brien third. D. E. O’Brien won the100-yard slow race. A half-mile scratch was hotly contested, and was won by Paul McCoy, Williston second, D. O'Brien third. Time, 2:131£, The officers were: Referee, R, D éox; starter, Charles Warren; timers—William Warney, Arthur Townsend and T. W. Holland. Coast Records Smashed. EUREKA, OCAL., July 22.—The wind which blew so strongly Saturday, prevent. ing any new records being made, was entirely absent to-day, and the invitation races held this afternoon were interesting in point of time. The first incidents that occasioned any surprise were the new county record of 1:03 3-5 for a half mile and the new mile record of 2:12 1-5, established by Bert L. Waite of Ferndale. The previous mile record, held by G. L. Roberts of Eureka, was 2:35. Waite was paced by Whitman and McFarland on a tandem. Next came the coast records. Allan, paced by Burke and Castleman on a tan- dem, went against the half-mile coast record of 1:03 and finished in 1:02 1-5, having passed the pacemakers at the one- eighth pole. he tandem record for a mile, which was lowered by Whitman and McFarland from 2:16 to 2:12, was the next to suffer. The next efforts were not so fortunate, Byrne making a half-mile in 1:04 and Castleman (class B) one-third of a mile in “ocnight. the - visi ‘o-nig| e iting wheelmen _we: entertained at the clnbrsoomu of the Hm: boldt Wheelmen in this city, Pprevious to their departure to-morrow. —_———— Foress Fires.

A. J. O'LOGHLEN'S RECORDS To Be Investigated by the Commis~- sion at Its Meeting This Morning. The following startling document was filed with Secretary McCarty of the Board of New City Hall Commissioners yester- day, and will come up for c_onsideml‘xon by that august body this morning at 11 o’clock: To the Honorable the Board of New City Hall Commissioners, Hon. Adolph Sutro, Chairman : In the book of municipal accounts for fhe fiscal year ending 30th June, 1894 (page 511), the taxpayers of San Francisco Ior_then- enlighten- ment can read the following statement: «Total expenditure and cost of new City Hall to July 1, 1894, $5,048,660 79.” ) “Availing myself of the privilege of a citizen, 1 beg most respectiully to controvert this s:nle‘: ment, and to say to your ‘“honorable bo_nrd that said statement is false and fallacious, and the figures therein given distant from being correct by over three hundred and eighty thousand (%$380,000) dollars!! Thata falsification of such magnitude could be dis- covered in a public account is highly dis- creditable, and perhaps has no parallel or precedent anywhere. The attention therefore of your “honorable board” is hereby called thereto, at this opportune time, when the ac- counts of all municipal departments are due at the end ot the fiscal year, knowing that you will be glad to have & spurious and falsifled account substituted by a genuine and correct one, which I am at any time ready and willing to furnish to your ‘honorable board,” if so desired. A. J. O'LOGHLEN, Accountant, 724 Broderick street. Mr. O'Loghlen when seen last night said that his bombshell wowid be bursted in the Board of City Hall Commissioners this morning. He would not commit himself by saying what the nature of the $330,000 discrepancy might be, but informed the in- quirer that he was in possession of books, accounts, facts and figures to substantiate his statement formally made to the Board of Commissioners, as quoted above. Mr. O’Loghlen has been familiar with the affairs of the City Hall Commissioners since 1871, having been employed in the early days of the new hall’s construction to make an itemized and expert statement of the condition of affairs, for which he was to receive $1000. The work was taken out of his hand for some inexplicable rea- son and given to another accountant. Mr. O'Loghlen lost his $1000, but since 1871 he has kept a close watch on City Hall affairs, with the result that at this time he has a complete itemized account from year to year of the cost of construction. In other words he haskept tabs on the various City Hall Commissioners and is now in a position to show the present body where there exists a discrepancy of $380,000. The matter will cause no little 'interest, and Mr. O’Loghien says he is ready to verify his statements with incontrovertible facts and fignres when the Commissioners are ready to dip deep into the matter. To criticize was originally to pass an opinion upon, whether favorable or other- wise, and the fact that most opinions are unfavorable is indicated in the present signification of the word.
