THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, THURSDAY, AUGUST 15, 1895 IN THE GREKT PAVILION. The Second Day and Night of the Mechanics’ Institute and Fair, STARTING THE BIG ENGINE. Some of the Exhibitors Are Behind | In the Matter of Preparation, as Usual. T‘ha side doors of the Mechanics' Pa- vilion were open early yvesterday morning and were kept open all day long for the purpose of receiving the exhibits of the tardy exhibitors. Delivery wagons stood inline, and as fast as one was unloaded | and driven away, another took its place. | Goods were rushed in and piled up in vacant spaces and all was hustle and bustle. Within the building there was an | 5¢ s army of mechanics—carpenters, painters | The E end decorators—and from the activity di. 1 with attendants, many of them pretty | no longer to keep watch upon the move- away from the disturbing element in the Chinese quarter and free from possible assault. Another prominent visitor who wandered from place to place was Reuben H. Lloyd, and his attention seemed to be particulasly directed to the displaysof bicycles. He looked at them so intently that it was be- lieved that he was making up his mind to part with his magnificent black charger, which he has so often ridden in the park, and get a bike, Aftera while he saw the tiny bike thatisridden by Miss Connell, the three-and-a-half-year-old cyclist, which has already been described in THE CALL, and exclaimed: “That’s the one I want to ride, for if I fall I won’t have far to drop.” ‘The University of California is putting in position in the western end of the art gallery a fine exhibit of plain and colored drawings, the work of tize students. All day new pictures were received, and there were more than the hanging committee could place on the walls. The song has it, “What a change in the morning,” but the visitor to the fair last night exclaimed, “What a change in the evening!” The artisans had ceased their labors, and many of the exhibits that were not ready in the afternoon had so far been arranged as to make a creditable showing. Engineer Larry Dunn started up the big engine, and some of the exhibitors in the machinery department who had rushed | 1ate in the afternoon set some of their ma- [ chines in motion. The attendance last evening was as large ht be expected on a second night. ooths that were ready were filled HUNTINGTON GOES FREE, All the Indictments Against Him Have Been “ Nolle Prosequied.” NO MORE DANGER OF ARREST. District Attorney Foote Thinks That There Has Been No Breach of the Law. Collis P. Huntington can now go and come as be pleases in California. The indict- | ments that hung over his head have been “nolle prosequied,” and unless the United | States Grand Jury, now in session, takes | some steps, there is nothing between the | railroad magnate and liberty. The indictments found against him by the previous Grand Jury were dismissed vesterday by District Attorney Foote, and Marshal Baldwin, much to his delight, has to favor the capitalist, and to discriminste against the mechanic who has to work for his daily bread; therefore be it Résolved, By the American Railway Union No. 345 that we hereby place upon record our condemnation of the proceedings and manner whereby said indictments against said Collis P. Huntington were dismissed, and call vpon all labor organizations to take cognizance of the action of the United States District Court in this matter. Carlos J. Deseda, Thomas M. Cantwell, W, W. Craig, Committee. MONTEITH'S OPINION, The Action Denounced as Both Disgusting and Disgraceful, George W. Monteith, who drew up the original complaint for T. Roberts, one of the strikers, against Collis P. Huntington charging him with a violation of the inter- state commerce act in the Stone pass mat- ter, expressed deep indignation, mixed with disgust, over the action of the Federal authorities in dismissing the indictment against Huntington. He said: The abandonment of the Huntington Pmse cution by the department of justice is simply disgraceful. A plainer case was never pre- sented to & prosecuting officer, and in this case the prosecuting officers were both present and heard the testimony against Huntington given under oath during the trial of the strikers Mayne and Cassidy. They placed Frank M. Stone on the stand as an interstate passenger, who had been inter- fered with, and now coofly maintain that there is no evidence that the pass was used. The manner in which this case has been turned and twisted is certainly an object les- son. Can itbe possible that C.’P. Huntington can not only violate the law with impunity,but i i A GENERAL VIEW OF THE GROUND FLOOR OF THE PAVILION LOOKING WEST. played on every side one would suppose that the exhibitors who received space had not had two weeks in wi but had received notice fore. The carpenters were busy on the frame- work of booths, decorators were cutting great bolts of highly colored cloth into | lengths and passing them to assistants, who wove them into fantastic and artistic | shapes, while painters were swinging | brushes, applying paint wherever there | was room for it. In machinery hall {here were gangs of | mechanics putting up all kinds of ma- | chinery. The sawing by the artists in wood, the clang of heavy hammers on iron | and the continued tick-tack by the deco- rators produced a racket that at times during the afternoon unstrung the nerves of Fritz Scheel when he was leading his nusicians through some difficult pianis- simo passage. Once or twice the tall wielder of the baton gave vent to his feel- | ings, but as what he said was in a foreign | tongue it was lost to many who were with- | in earshot. But all this will change in a | ch to prepare, | v the night be-- very short time, and before Saturday after- | & noon everything, the managers hope, will | be in place to please the eye. Almost at the entrance on the ground | floor there is going up a chocolate palace | in white columns set off with filets of gold | Jeaf put on at the rate of a yard a minute. There was another artist at this place who was streaking the hair of chubby-faced | cherubims at the head of each column, | and the gum-girl in blue, who was watch. | ing him, sighed and exclaimed, “Don’t I | wish I bad golden hair!” Near the bandstand there is a ‘H’L‘(ty arrangement of water fiiterers and im- mense glass columns filled with water as clear as crystal. To each of these there is | affixed a faucet, but there are no cups or glasses, and those who view this display, that is a temptation to quench thirst, turn | sadly aside saying: ‘“Water, clear, cool | water, so much in sight, but not a drop to drink”’ : The Swiss-Italian cclonf County, has considerable s > front of the building, in which its agents are temptingly arranging the products of the place. 3 2 The solitary trout which the night before occupied one of the tanks of the aquarium had several companions yesterday and he swam about as if he was crowded. Adjoin- ing the aguarium there is an exhibit of Hallidie’'s wire tramway for transporting ores, and opposite a rock erotto has been erected to show the difference between filtered and unfiltered Spring Valley water. After looking at this exhibit and having the mind filled with thoughts of microbes that gnaw at the vitals one may turn to the west and become impressed with an idea of the future state by resting the eyes on a group of stately monuments such as adorn plats in the silent city of the dead. A cheerful combination, that of nasty, crawling, thousand-legged microbes and tombstones. . The saw exhibit that occupied the west wall on several previous occasions has been replaced by a display of all kinds of tools. II"wo California industries, exhibits of which are being put into shape, are con- densed milk and California salt. 5 The borax display is being figted up with namerous electric lights, which, when turned on, will make the crystals of which the columns, slabs and blogks of this pavilion are constructed sci gexm like Aladdin’s diamond cave. One youngster who was near this exhibit caught sight of an unused column of crystals, shouted *“Rock candy!” and put his tongue to one end of it, but it did not take him long to discover his mistake and cry for water. There was not a very large attendance anring the afternoon, but those who were there crowded those portions of the gal- leries nearest the bandstand and listened to the music. Among the visitors were Li Yang Yu, the Chinese Consul-General, of Asti, Sonoma space near the | | the floral and fruit young ladies, which added to the attrac- tiveness. Those who promenaded missed isplay of previous | years, but the directors say that applica- | tion for space had been made by persons who wish to show flowers, ferns and shrubs, and that soon these will be in place. The art gallery was a favorite place for the visitors, who viewed and discussed the pictures which are already in position. A number of chairs have been placed around the music-stand, but not as many as visitors would like to see. This is the choice location, the one where those who are weary of walking love to rest and watch the promenader pass to and fro and criti- cize face and dress. The galleries were well filled with ladies and their escorts.

The Recent County 'Committee Meeting Upset Their Cal~ culations. Charles G. Clinch of the Forty-first | Assembly District has been appointed a member of the Republican County Com- mittee to fill the place of Leon Dennery. The latter does not live in the Forty-first District, so a vacancy was declared by the committee at the meeting Tuesday night last. Mr. Clinch is a member of the firm of H. C, Dietz & Co. He ison the execu- tive committee of the Board of Yosemite Valley Commissioners, and is also a mem- ber of the Grand Jury, recently drawn and organized. Thomas McDermott, an engineer, has been appointed to fill the vacancy in the County Committee, caused by the resigna- tion of “King” McManus of the Twenty- ninth District. A few days ago facts came to the knowl- edge of leading Republicans, who take an active interest in municipal affairs which impelled the belief that Senator Jere Ma- honey, Martin Kelly and Sam Rainey, act- ing on the advice of ex-Boss Dan Burns, had called a caucus of county committee- men for Wednzsday evening of this week. Six members of the committee had con- sented to attend the caucus. Straight-out, loyal Republicans who have no political dealings with Democratic bosses decided to defeat the schemes of Rainey, Mahoney and Kelly at the very outset, and so a meeting of the entire com- mittee was called. A well-known Republican who favors clean politics said yesterday: ‘““We have resolved that Democrats shall not getin and capture the Republican organization. We are also determined zhat urns, Ma- honey and Kelly shall not be permitted to use our organization to trade with Demo- crats in the next campaign. The County Committee is created to promote Republi- can unity and success, and we want to see it managed without the interference of men whose affiliations, sympathies and schemes are with Democratic bosses.” and suife. The Consul wore his robes of cffice, and on his face there was an appear- ance of content, probably because he was ——— The Japanese method of lacquering is said to bellt least 2000 years old. Pieces made ten centuries ago are still exhihited. Lanner | ments of the president of the Southern Pacific Railroad Company. ‘When the United States District Conrti was called to order yesterday there were not a dozen people in the room. Judge | Morrow was on the bench, and the entire | | force of the District Attorney’s office was | at the desks set apart for the legal profes- sion. Court was opened, and there being | no business of importance to transact, the | District Attorney announced that he had a [ motion to make. He referred to the find- | ing of certain indic tments against Collis P. | Huntington for having issued a *‘free pass” | to Frank M. Stone over the linesof the | Southern Pacific, and pointed out the fact | hat in New York a Federal Judge had | held that no breach of the law had been | | committed, because Stone had only used the pass to Red Biuff, and had thus no# | gone into another State. “In the circumstances there was breach of the interstate commerce la: said Mr. Foote, *‘and 1 think that a charge of issuing a ‘Iree pass’ to Mr. Stone will | not hold. The Attorney-General is of the | same opinion, and I have been instructed | to dismiss_tbe cases now pending acainst | Mr. Huntington.” | Judge Morrow was vrepared for what | | was coming, He called for the aflidavits | made by Attorney Mouteith and a num- ber of the strikers and then read the evi- dence in the case. The transcript of the testimony taken in New York was also | perused by his Honor, and the outcome of the whole matter was,as THe CaLL stated yesterday morning, the indictments were “‘nolle prosequied.” “The indictments would mnot hold water,” said District Attorney Foote when talking about the matter. **Huntington was charged with a breach of the inter- state commerce law, and, while he may | have bad the guiity intention, it was never carried out. The pass called for transpor- | tation for Frank M. Stone over the | lines of the Southern Pacific Railroad, but | Stone only used it between San Francisco and Red Bluff. Therefore there was no interstate question in it. Of course, the strikers say that Stone was bound for Ash- {1and, Or., but then he ‘didn’t go there Had he done so Huntington could have been prosecuted, but as the ticket was never used, he cannot. The Grand Jury brought the indictments against my ad- vice and I am satisfied that in the circum- stances no conviction can be made.” When Judge Morrow made the order dismissing the cases one or two of the strikers in court could not suppress a smile, and one of them remarked in the corridor, “I told you so,” whereat the others laughed. The dismissal of the indictments against Mr. Huntington was one of the matters discussed by the local lodge of the Ameri- can Railway Union last night. Acting President Harry A. Knox said it was rather singular that Huntington should escape without a trial, and yet the members of the union, Messrs. Cassidy and Mayne, had to stand a trial which kent them bound and fettered by the law for over five months. *It was easy to explain it, however,” he remarked. “Huntington is a rich man and the two members named were poor.” The following resolution condemning the authorities for their action was then adopted, Messrs. C. J. Deseda, Thomas M. Cantwell and W. W. Craig being chosen a committeeto drafc them: ‘WHEREAS, The indictments against Collis P. Huntington have veen dismissed by the United States District Court upon motions to nolle prosequi made by the United States District Attorney, acting presumably under instruc- tions from the United States "Attorney-General at Washington; and whereas, said Collis P. Huntington was duly indicted by the United States Grand Jurfi for violating the interstate commerce law, the same law for the alleged violation of which certain members of the American Railway Union were not only in- dicted, but were tried by the court at great ex- pense to the people of the United States; and Whereas, it is apparent that the judicial system of the United States operates in such a way as no can snap his finger at an indictment which is framed against him? It is inconceivable that just as he is about to arrive within the jurisdiction of the court he can find a District Attorney obsequiously will- ing to save him annoyance by a_convenient dismissal of the indictment.” Indeed, the whole Fropusxlion is as disgusting as 1t is dis- graceful. AN APPEAL TO THE PUBLIO, Address Issued by the Local Amerioan Rail- way Union Last Night, The following address to the public was issued by the local American Railway Union at its meeting last night: To the fair-minded public of San Francisco: A little over a year ago several thousand of our members voluntarily gave up our means of livelihood in a well-meant endeayor to assist our fellow workmen in Pullman, Ill., who were being crushed under the exactions of the cruel and heartless Pullman monopoly. In doing o in the midst of the hard, dull times, we willingly, to sustain a true principle, sacrificed the little all of ourselves and our families, In the great strike of a year ago we kept our tempers and preserved order in spite of every species of aggravation the railroad could devise. Our course was & gréat disappoint- ment to the railroad, not in what we did, but in what we feiled to do. The only way they could defest us was to turn the tide of public sentiment against us by either our doing something to shock the public or our being charged with so doing. The formes we would not do,so the plan was laid to falsely charge us with something that might result in our ruin. The horrible “trestle wreck” was brought into play. We were falsely charged with it, ns the records of the courts show, and one of our members, & poor, crazy man, was railroaded to the gallows on Rerjured testimony. Besides all this we have been persecuted, blacklisted, hoycotted and prosecuted on false | charges. All the hideous power of the great Southern Pacific octopus was used to crush us end to starve our families. We_have been good citizens; we have spent our lives in honest labor, anda because we dared assert our right and our manhood in the interest of our down-trodden brother workmen we are made the special objects of all the hate and venom of the most powerful and at the same time most cowardly institution on this const. g On top of all this the commanding officer of the United States army here at San Francisco adds to our load by piacing upon the grave of the poor unfortunate men who died to enable the great corporation to crush us a black ghoulish libel charging us with murder. For shame that the representative of the great Government of the United Btates should stoop to thus inflict so cruel and outrageously unjust a stab into our backs while we are struggling for our own and our families’ exist- ence. Before our great God we know, and our op- pressors know, we are guiltless of that fearful crime, and we take this means of calling upon every Tair-minded citizen, every laboring man and every friend of labor to come o the Metror peiltan ‘Temple, Saturday night, hear us, and fyou believe us, join in one mighty and indig- nant protest against the cowards that stal from behind and fear the light of day upon their black deeds. HARRY A. KNOX, Acting President. W. W. Cra1g, Secretary. Among the speakers expected to address the Saturday mghb&athering are James H. Barry, Georée . Monteith, Taylor Rodgers,” M.. McGlynn, president of "the Labor Council, and " Rev. Joseph E. Scott. Harry Knox said at the meeting of the union Jast night that it would be shown at Metropolitan” Temple how the train was wrecked, by whom it was wrecked and why it was wrecked. ‘“We have traguenuy tried to do this in the courts,’’ he ex- lained, “but the authorities would never et us have any opportunity. We will now take the opportumty.” e A Tower of Olive Oil. One of the attractions at the World’s Fair was a huge tower composed of bottles of Cali- fornia olive oil. After the fair was over ome- half of the tower was sent to Santa Barbara and the other half to tbe State Board of Trade rooms on Market street. This tower is to be united again. Yesterday Secretary Filcher sent word to have the other half for shipment when the main exhibit passes through that section to Atlanta. A large lot of Southern California exhibits will be sent from thers at the same time. TOMLINS TALKS TO-DAY An Eminent Exponent of Song to Address Five Hundred Pupils. TEACHERS ARE ENTHUSIASTIC. His Success on Original Lines Is Sald to Insure Musical De= velopment. This afternoon William L. Tomlins of Chicago, the president of the celebrated Apollo Club there and instructor of 1500 children as a choir for the World’s Fair concerts, will address 500 pupils drawn from various grammar schools of this City at Golden Gate Hall. The authorities of tHe School Department and the school- teachers are enthusiastic over the results to be expected from Mr, Tomlins’ influ- ence upon the schools. | School Superintendent Moulder is in- clined to indorse Mr. Tomlins’ work as likely to be of the highest benefit to the children. As far as he has been enabled to judge, Mr. Tomlins is & very competent man and comes indorsed both by Eastern authority and his known record. . Deputy Superintendent Babcock has ac- companied Mr. Tomlins .to various gram- mar schools, and has derived a high opinion of the aims of the musician. “Mr. Tomiins,” said he yesterday, ‘‘is more than a singer or an instructor of song. AsIunderstand him his object is not so much to teach pupils how to read music as to direct their attention to what the soul of song is. What I see or hear in his singing is the art of developing the child morally and making him a uetter child at home in every way. He is more than a mere singing-teacher; he is an edu- cator in the. broad sense. While I wasa little prejudiced agsinst him at first-I have learned to feel that we are to be congratu- lated on having Mr. Tomlins here, even for so short a time. I think it will benefit us greatly.”’ All the teachers interviewed expressed the greatest enthusiasm on the subject of the proposed lectures. Many of them have banded together to take private lessofis from Mr. Tomlins in the art ot instructing in music, and are looking forward to de- riving substantial results. Among them are teachers from the. Clement, Broad- way, Denman, Pacific Heights, Hamilton, Crocker, Hegrst, John Swett, South Cos- mopolitan, Mission Grammar, Spring Val- ley-and other schools. ~ Elisha Brooks, principal of the Girls’ High School, has arranged for Mr. Tom- lins to give a lecture to the pupils twice a week, the first to take place to-morrow morning at 9:45 o’clock. In speaking of the matter yesterday Mr. Brooks said : 1 don’t know Mr. Tomlins, but I think the project an excellent one. The whole school will be given an opportunity to hear him two hours a week for five weeks, and I consider the benefits to be realized will justify the sscrifice of the regular class time.” Mr. Tomlins has been in the City a month and has arranged to lecture at the high schools twice a week, while the pu- pils of the grammar schools will comie to hear him ata central point twice a week. Sgeuhng of his opinion of Californian children as ‘‘music material” Mr. Tomlins said yesterday: ‘‘As far as I have seen I am greatly en- couraged by the outlook. Of course it is too soon for me to speak with absolute confidence, but I think I notice a recep- tivity as far as physical tone goes which may be attributable to the climate. Na- tively there is something, which I may perhaps call a greater spontaneity, and which may be traced to the free, open-air life and favorable natural conditions. Possibly this great advantage may have a counter-balance in a lack of intensity or concentration, but of that I am not quite sure. It is absolutely essential in my method that the attention of the pupiis should be concentrated, keyed up to the supreme point of attention, and it may be that I may have to address particular study to developing that essential. Iam ve?‘ much pleased with what 1 have heard and seen, and very much interested in drawing out the finer differences in the splendid material offered me.” In a circular to the rup‘\ls and friends of the Girls’ High School Director Charles A. Murdock has this to say: Mr. Tomlins makes no charge for his services, trusting to the success of the concert for the benefit of the library and piano fund of the Girls’ High School, to'be given at the conelu- sion of the lessons. An exercise-book and two song-books ; are required, which will be fur- nishea te those who wish them at 25 cents (a third of their retail price). The books will be loaned to those who do not wish to buy them, but it will save trouble and be an advantage to the pupils if they own them. Mr. Tomlins imparts & new conception of music and the possibilities of song. Hré makes singing vitsl and real and reveals its soul. In ten lessons he cannot teach technical music, nor does he attempt it; but he gives an idea tlnz can never be forgotten, and teaches how to sing. A BOREMIAN ANNIVERSARY Harry Edwards’ Widow Recalls the Old Bohemian Club Days. She Is Forgotten by the Old Mem- bers and Unknown to the New. The Founders. The widow of Harry Edwards, the well- known scientist and actor, and one of the founders of the, Bohemian Club of this City, leads what might be cailed a retro- spective life at her home at 1808 Fillmore street. Her chief pleasure, but one that is mingled with sadness, is in recalling the days of companionship with her gifted husband. The room in which she received a CaLn reporter yesterday was a treasure chamber of souvenirs of their travels and of Mr. Edwards’ scientific investigations. “He was a many-sided man,” she said, with a fond look at the portrait of her hus- bard. “He was equally gifted in many lines. Iam living now on the proceeds of the sale of his entomological collection which numbersd 350,000 specimens.” She showed with pride some rare shells which he had collected, and said he was an en- thusiastic conchologist. Recalling his interest in the Bohemian Club, she said: *‘My husband and Mr. Newcomb were the founders of the club, and many were the happy hours we spent there. After we took up our residence in the Eest and, indeed, until his death the club honored him by eyery courtesy that love and esteem could dictate. When we stopped at San Francisco en route to Aus- tralia and again on our return we were feted by the club.” She drew from a pile of souvenirs the menu card of the breakfast tendered Harry Edwards five years ago to-day by the Bohemian Club. It contained his photo- gn&h and a eompllmeutu;y quotation. ‘‘He died four years ago,” she continued. “I have been in the City the past two ears and have only visited the club once. fvunt one Wednesday, which, I believe, is ladies’ day. I shook hands with Mr. Bromley and saw one or two familiar faces, but the associations and the changes were painful, and I have not been there since. The club has forgotten me,” she said, smiling sadly. ~“Not one of the members has called upon me since I re- turned from the East, two yearsago. A letter was addressed to me in care of the Bohemian Club, and 1t was there for months. No one took the trouble to learn my whereabouts. Finally a friend hap- pened to see it in the rack and brought it to me. I have received two invitations to the club, I believe, during two years.” It was evident that Mrs. Edwards felt deeply this indifference and regarded it not only as aslight to herself but her hus- band’s memory. She was guarded in her statements and said repeatedly: *'If I said all I thought of the matter I might antag- onize some one. I am alone in the world and shrink from entering into a contro- versy or making enemies. Besides,” my husband, if he were here, and I do not think he is far away, would say: ‘I don’t think it best, dear.’ e Mrs. Edwards’ face shots traces of her great grief at the loss of her husband, but she is, notwithstanding her occasional ab- straction when she speaks of that loss, a clever conversationist and a woman of strong yet winning personality. — AGAIN O SAN QUENTIN Mrs. Worthington’s Third Trial Resulted in Convic~ tion. The Jury Declared the Woman Gullty of Murder In the Sec~ ond Degree. Mrs. Louisa Worthington, with an infant child in her arms and two or three other little tots clinging about, has been again found guilty of murder in the second de- gree. She killed Harry Baddeley on May 2, 1893, and three times she has been before the court to answer for the crime. At her first trial she was convicted of murder in the second degree, when Attorney Dennis Spencer was engaged as special counsel to prosecute her. Judge Seawell sentenced her to prison for twenty-five years. The’ Supreme Court granted her appeal for a new trial, error Laving been found. -When the case was brought before Judge Belcher the jury disagrecd, the members dividing on the question of acquittal or a verdict of manslaughter. It was in this case that Judge Belcher censured the jury ina manner that was regarded as detrimental to Mrs. Worthing- ton, and on that account the third trial was as-igned to Judge Wallace, with the result already stated. Insanity was the woman’s defense. s Mrs. Worthington has not displayed much emotion at any time in court, and spectators have usually regarded the little wonian as almost unconscious of the pro- ceedings about her, but when the jury ves- terday declared her guilty her lips trem- bled and she clutclied the infant tightly in her arms. That is about the only bit of emotion that has been observed. Sentence will be pronounced by Judge Wallace on Friday of next week. Attorneys Haskell and Guilfoyle, who defended Mrs. Worthington, say that thev will sgain appeal to the Supreme Court. They allege that there was error in the rulings relating to the questions of in- sanity. ok NGAT IV MAPLES" That Is the Idea Which Sausalito Is Now Considering. A Preliminary Meeting Held Yes- terday and a Business One Called for Saturday. The idea of holding a water carnival at Sausalito has developed into a fixed pur- pose. The fact was demonstrated at a preliminary meeting held late yesterday afternoon, presided over by Dr. J. E. Crumpton. The purpose was to arrange for a general meeting, which all citizens of Sausalito and summer residents were in- vited to attend, for the formation of a permanent organization to provide ways ar.d means to the end in view. > There were presentat the meeting yester- day: Dr.J. E. Crumpton, J. W. Sperry; Join H. Dickinson, president of the Boarc of Town Trustees; Commodore Harrison, C. P. Sonntag, Town Trustee Miller, H. A. Cobb, William Hannon, Superintendent E. H. Shoemaker of tbe North Pacific Coast Railway; J. W. Davidson, principal of the public school; J. E. Slinkey, proprietor of El Monte Hotel; Robert George, secretary of the Sausalito Land and Ferry Company; 8. 8. Fiedler, Peter Claridianos, School Director Thomas, Town Treasurer Law- rence; J. H. Prior, editor Sausalito News, and M. M. Barnet, editor San Francisco Journal of Commerce. % The time fixed for the general meeting is Saturday, August 17, at 4 p. M., at the town hall. Officers are to be elected and com- mittees appointed for action. The general opinion_obtained that the event should occur about the last of September or’ the first part of October, and it shall’ be “A Night in Naples” with a Vesuvius in the background. 4 Sausalito’s admirable situation, 1n tuil view from the bay, and the imposing ap- pearance of the dwellings on the hill, with the advantages of the water front, were presented by the severa! speakers. E “There is no reason why Sausalito should not have this grand fete,” said Colonel Sonntag, “‘and there are many good reasons why it should. Sausalito ought to wake up.” “Qur location is_the finest on the bay,” said General Dickinson, “and if the fire- works are properly handled they may be seen in San Francisco. Let us have the fete by all means and begin active preparations immediately.” L School Director Thomas was enthusiastic over the prospect and said it was due to the pride which the citizens took in the town that the fete should be held. “I am heartily in favor of the project,” said Major Cobb, *and Saturday will not be too soon for holding the general meet- ing. Letus all be there.” % 5ommodore Harrison spoke heartily in favor of the idea and expressed the opin- ion that the fireworks and the bursting of Vesuvius should be prompt and not occu- py too much time. J. H. Prior of the News favored the se- lection of a water queen to rule over the destinies of the night, rather than a direc- tor-general. J. B. Stetson, president of the North Pacific Coast Railway, who has offered to head a subscription list with $500, has ex- pressed his desire to attend the general meeting. Word came from him through Superintendent Shoemaker that he will provide a grand bandstand on the pier and run a string of electric lights along the water front. e A Teamster Insolvent. D. Morris, a teamster at 24515 Perry street, has filed a petition in insolvency. His liabili- tiés are $612 and he has no property. NEW TO-DAY. Fathers Sons TO-DAY.
