SAN BERNARDINO, CaL., Sept. 14.— The city of San Be o is one mass of red, white and green ng, mingled with the red, white and blue. From the high- est buildings in the city is suspended a big Mexican flag between two immense Ameri- can flags. The fiesta colors, red, white and green, adorn nearly every coat lapel in the city. The last stroke of work is being placed on the great amphitheater, which is the largest of the k this country. At the new o; le track of the San Bernar 1b an amphitheater which w about 1500 is being erected hi 1 to accom iate those who attend the races on the 17th, when many valuable prizes will be given to the successful wheel- n.

C. Keating of this city, who intends presenting it to the California So- ciety of Pioneers at San Francisco atan early date. A committee is at Los Angeles to wait upon Hon. R. F. Del Valle to in- duce Bim to read the declaration. The hotels are being overrun with calls for rooms, as are the city’s lodging- house3. Private families are being asked to take in roomers. From all indications it is estimated that not less than 20,000 people will be in attendance throughout the fiesta, not counting day excursions from various points. All in all, the fiesta will be one of the grandest events ever given in Southern California. One of the remarkable incidents of the | coming fiesta developed this evening. The use of the amphitheater was tendered by J. 8. Purdy, chairman of the citizens’ com- mittee, to Captain Dimmick of the Salva- tion Army and accepted. Religious exer- cises will be held by the Salvation Army in the arena to-morrow mogning at 10:20. On Monday the exercises will be ofa different character. Eight Spanish bulls were received here this evening from Indio, | on the Yuma desert. They were imme- diately taken to pasture and will be al- lowed to rest all day to-morrow. Four of them will be taken to the corral adjoining the amphitheater Monday morning. Big handbills are out to-night announc- ing the ten-round glove contests for ‘Wednesday night at the amphitheater be- tween the following boxers: Charles Grif- fith of Los Angeles and Hank Lamont of Colorado, Charles Ramsey of Portland and Dick Brown of San Francisco, William Whitside of Los Angeles and Spider Gal- lagher of San Francisco, the windup to be a finish fight between Young Fitzsimmons of Australia and James Turner of Los An- geles. e Forger Hadley’s Case. SAN BERNARDINO, CaL., Sept. 14.— W. 8. Hadley, who was to have gone to Redlands to-day to continue his prelimi- | nary examination for passing a $625 forged draft on the First National Bank of Red- lands, has been given two weeks’ further time, as his friends have not yet succeeded in making_good the amount of the bogus draft, but Hadley says he has strong hopes of their,coming to his rescue, and ing his going to San Quentin or Folsom, If at 4he expiration of the two weeks granted him the money is not forthcom- ing he will be vigorously prosecuted. CAUGHT NEAR SAN DIEGO. Banks, the Alleged Slayer of Mrs. Stiles and Fachter Run Down. Surprised by an Officer In the Un- dergrowth Along the Bernardo River. SAN DIEGO., CaL., Sept. 14.—Deputy Sheriff Wark captured Joe Banks, the sup- posed murderer of Mrs. Stiles and her father at Las Flores, in a_dense under- growth along the Bernardo River this afternoon and arrived in this city lgte to- night, placing him in the County Jail. Banks was in the city yesterday and stayed in Mission Valley last night, riding out into the country on a wagon. He left a place at Bernardo and struck thyough cr, rough country. The officer foliowed his trail six miles and came upon Banks while he was sitting in frontof a cabin talking with a Mexican woman. Banks turned pale, but gave himself up in the face of a pistol leveled at his head. Banks was seen at the jail. He main- tains that he was at Las Flores on the day of the murder, and was in company with Garges, the watchmaker, who has been already arrested. His story is that he became separated from Garges and took the wagon road, thinking Garges was ahead. He admits asking Stiles, the husband of the murdered woman, for a ride. His story in the main corroborates ! James Garges', but he is not clear as to his where- abouts during his absence from Garges, when the murder was committed. Banks had no_ pistol, and said he pawned his gun at Fullerton, when on the way to San Diego. Garges will be brought down from Oceanside and their stories will be closely examined, though so far they appear to be without flaw and to indicate the innocence of both. Banks’ appearance is against him, as he is a West Indian negro, with heavy cheek- bones, thick lips, small, shrewd eyes and a generally sensual face. He displayed no excitement or nervousness, and was very detailed in his story. e BOGUS BEARS NEST MINE. How English Capitalists Were Swindled in Alaska. PORTLAND, Or., Sept. 14.—The taking of testimony was begun yesterday before United States Commissioner Sladen in the case of A.G. Renshaw, a subject of Eng- land, against James Carroil and others to recover $324,000 invested in the Bears Nest mine, Alaska. Renshaw charges that the sale of the Bears Nest group of mines on Douglas Island was accomplished by gigantic frauds, and he accuses John and J Treadwell, owners of the great Treadwell mine, and Captain James Car- roll and others of conspiring to make the sale by placing gold-bearing rock from the Treadwell mine into the barren mine adioming and by treating the core from a hole bored by a diamond drill to make a showing of rich ore. % Three experts were sent out by British capitalists, and each was successfully deceived and flattering reports were made, so that English capitalists purchased the mine. After several years the mine failed to yield any returns, and further investi- gation disclosed the fact that the property was worthless. Renshaw was convinced that he had been swindled, and the suit was commenced in 1894, END OF THE STATE AR Crushing Crowds of Humanity Thronged the Immense Pavilion. Gold Medals Awarded Premium Stock at the Park—One Notable Exhibit. SACRAMENTO, Car., Sept. 14.—The | State Fair of 1895 is ended; the vast | pavilion that for the past two weeks has been a blaze of electric glory, glittering exhibits and crushing crowds of | humanity is deserted, and every train | that leaves the city is packed with departing crowds of pleasure-seekers, who | have witnessed one of the greatest exhi- | bitions ever collected on the coast for the delectation of the public, and who evi- dently fully appreciated the excellent ar- ated into Spanish, and was read | revent- | rangements which have been perfected in | every department by the present energetic | board of State agricultural directors. The last night at the pavilion witnessed | the largest concourse of people that has ever pathered within itswalls, Every por- | tion of the building unoccupied by the ex- | hibits was a strugeling mass of spectators, | while *'stunning’ costumes were the rule instead of the exception. | _The stock parade at Agricultural Park | this morning, composed entirely of the | premium stock, was one of the finest ex- | hibits seen in years. Gold medals were awarded to Charles Durfey’s McKinney | and family, W. M. Murrey’s Three Cheers | and family and Halborn’s Durham herd. During the afternoon the celebrated kings of the turf—Salvator, Tenny, Gold Finch, Watercress and Midlothian—ap- peared before the grand stand and were | greeted by immense applause. Despite the heavy rain which occurred during the last week of the fair the exhibition has | been a success financially and the society | is richer by at least $23,000. By far the most attractive exhibit that | has been displayed in the big pavilion for years was the steamer model of the enter- \Y“rismg hardware hrm of Schaw, Ingram, | atcher & Co. In design and finish it is a | positive work of art, and has riveted the admiration of all beholders. The model is fifty feet in length and is | decorated with thousands of dollars’ worth | of articles of the various lines of hardware | which have been taken from the com- plete stock carried by the firm. The | smokestack is a section of pipe made | at the firm’s pipe works in this city. Every curve and outline of the vessel is aglitter- ing mass of saws, chisels, files, hammers hinges, springs, faucets, chains; guns, pis- | tols, and the thousand and one things that | go to make up a complete line of hard- | ware, while the walking beam, which is operated by electricity, is composed of | table cutlery. | IS Y e MORGAN HILL AFFRAY. A Liveryman Fatally Stabbed by Par- fario Patron. SAN JOSE, CaL., Sept. 14.—A stabbing affray occurred at Morgan Hill, near Gil- | roy, this evening. Al Good, a stable- keeper, was 5o badly injured that there is | little hope of his recovery. His assailant | was Parfario Patron, who Has for some time had a grievance against Good. Patron wentinto the latter’s stable, and after some words whipped out a large knife and stabbed Good in the abdomen. The wound is an ugly one. Constable Lee of Morgan Hill was on the scene almost immediately, an alarm having been raised, but Patron made good his escape on a horse. He is said to be very quarrelsome when drunk. He has relatives in Morgan Hill, and his brother, Benjamin Patron, keeps a saloon there. Sheriff Lyndon left for the scene with a i deputy on a search for Patron. T Confession of a Naples Robber. TA BARBARA, OaL., Sept. 14— Young has confessed to the robbery | of the Naples Postoffice. He asserts that the crime was unpremeditated, but that | the temptation was too strong to resist. | Having already served a term in the State penitentiary for assault this serious offense will place him in a bad position. 8. | Fran! g ey Body Found at Pokegama. YREKA, CaL., Sept. 14.—A body, sup- posed to be that of Gustave Betts, was found in the river at Pokegama to-night. Betts had been missing for eight days. This is a case of murder or suicide. OOLD-STORED UNDERCLOTHES. A Novel Experiment to Get Rid of a Very Lively Summer Pest. Cold storage for underclothes is the lastest novelty in the big downtown re- frigerators. Ohe of the warehouse own- ers was taken by surprise the other day when he received an application to cold store several hundred cases of woolen underwear. The application came from one of the largest wholesale dry-gocds houses in the city, and the storage man was at first tempted to treat the matter as a joke. He took the goods and later discovered the reason for the innovation. It seems that this has been an unusually brisk season for moths. The industrious but_destructive moth millers had discov- ered the unsold underclothing lying in the big stores and had proceeded to take pos- session of it in swarms. Finally some one suggested that the pesky insects should be frozen out. Application war at once made for cold storage room, and the goods are now stacked up in an atmosphere where the temperature stands at 22 degrees, and where boys play at snowball on these hot July days. If the experiment of freezing out the moths proves a success the cold-stora men will have opened a new and profit- able avenue for turning an honest penny, and people buyiug clothes will no longer fear the corrupting moth.—New York World. MEXICAN. WAR VETERANS, Anniversary of the Entrance Into the City of Mexico Celebrated. THE SAVIOURS OF CALIFORNIA. Eloquent Addresses by Distin- gulshed Men Pay Loving Tributes. The Veterans of the Mexican War cele- brated the forty-eighth anniversary of the entrance into the City of Mexico by hold- ing a banquet at the California. Hotel last night. About sixty of the veterans and a num- ber of invited ¢uests sat down to the well- spread tables at 8 o’clock, and two hours had passed in the pleasuresof the board and in recalling reminiscences before the toasts and responses were reached. The room was handsomely decorated with flags and red, white and biue bunt- ing, and gray-haired men, who sat about the board, made a grand picture of cour- age and patriotism. 8. J. Loop, president of the society, occupied a place at the head of the table. On his right sat Senator George C. Perkins, and on his leit Postmaster McCoppin. Besides other on the east by the rising sun and the west by the setting sun. But another responded that the United States was bounded on the north by the aurora borealis, on the south, by the procession of equinoxes, on the east by primeval chaos and on the west by the day of judgment. He paid a high tribute to the patriotism ot the people who give afree education to their children, and believe that every true America should have the privilege of worshiping God according to the dictates of his own conscience. . “America”. was the musical response and then followed an address on “The Press”” by W. M. Bunker of the Daily Report, which was preceded by reference by President Loop to the fact that the press was to be credited with creating the idea of hoisting the American flag on this anni- versary. Mr. Bunker said: The press is proud to be with you, because it recognizes in you men who deserve well of your country. You should receive pensions of $100 & month instead of $8. 1f you should receive a fourth of your share of the results of your campaign you would all be millionaires, but you have been in the posi- tion of a sailor who had caught a whale and who said that he did not want promotion but simply the commonest kind of civility. He told a story on Colonel Andrews, how the colonel had been promoted to a corporal, and said there were a few offi- ces now in the gift of the President of the United States which the colonel had not accepted, but which were due him. Referring directly to the press, he said the times were not out of joint. The people were all right, and if they would read that part of the press devoted to building up the country they would be all g was made for the purpose of defrauding the plaintiff, other creditors and coupon- holders of matured coupons. In conclu- sion it says: . Wherefore the said judgment creditor .fn" that an order be issued requiring the president of the Supreme Lodge, Order of the Golden Shore, and the president of the Order of Pendo, H. . Mathews, and the secretary of the same, being respec- ry of the tively tl eegrealdenl and secr above-named judgment-debtors, to appear be- fore the honorable court and answer for any property they may have in their possession or under their control. ‘While the amount involyed is small, the case is none the less important to hundreds of poor people, who have placed their money in this and similar organizations in the hope of ultimately drawing a big sum.

Herman Lottman, who lives on Six- teenth and Hampshire streets, walked into the Seventeenth-street police station last night and paralyzed Corporal Hagerty by handing him a stick of dynamite. He said one of his children picked it up in a deserted shanty close to his home and there was nearly a boxful of it left in the shanty. Policeman Dalton was sent with the patrol wagon to the shanty and he found about thirty pounds of dynamite in sticks in a box, which he took to the station, where it will remain till some disposition is made of it. The dynamite belonged to a contractor named Hollis, who died some time ago, and had lain in the shanty for over six months. The children in the neighborhood were in the habit of playing in the shanty, and often amused themselves by throwing - v o [Sketched by a “ Call " artist.] speakers there were ranged on either side Rounsevelle Wildman, General Turnbull, W.

Ward, William Le Grand Dickinson. The association has recently added 240 honorary members out of the thousand or more veterans scattered throughout the State, many of whom sent their regrets that they could not be present. ‘When the dinner had been dispatched and the cigars bad been reached President Loop addressed his comrades briefly on the object of the gathering and introduced Postmaster Frank McCoppin, who spoke to the toast, “The President of the Uuited States.” He said there were not nineteen other men in the United States comparable to the nineteen men who have been elected Presidents of this Union. He reviewed the several Presidents, presenting features of their administrations. To Polk he said we owe the acqulsition of California, and his hearers loudly applauded. Referring to the work of Lincoln he said that he never touched a thing that he did not adorn. His mention of the fact that Commodore Sloat planted the flag of the Nation at Monterey drew the applause of the veterans. He concluded with a tribute to the greatness of Grover Cleveland, and “Hail to the Chief” was played by the band. Senator George C. Perkins, speaking to *Qur Country,” said that California owed to the Mexican Veterans a homage. He dwelt upon the great battles that made the acquisition possible. He said he felt that he stood on sacred ground in the presence of the veterans who sat before him. He said their gallant deeds would never die from the memory of the people of California, the brightest gem in the circle of States. There is yet a debt due the veterans of the Mexican War—a pen- sion for what they did for this Govern- ment. He pledged them that the entire delega- tion from California would stand for the appropriation of the pensions due them in the next Congress. It is not the great States and Territories, the towering mountains, the rivers and the broad plains, he said, that make a country, but a people, ana each citizen is a sovereign of this great Republic. Senator Perkinstold a good story, illus- trating the extent of the greatness of the United States. One man who had been called on to speak to the toast, “The United States,” said it was bounded on the mnortn by the North Pole, on the south by.the South Pole. right. The country is being freed from railroad slavery and prosperity is here. “The Day we Celebrate’ was eloquently responded to by ex-Senator Cross. Sena- tor Cross gave excellent reasons for the cel- ‘ebration of the day and coneluded with the expression that it was in celebration of “a sacrifice of money, of selfishness, of pain, of peace that was made for the American republic by the thousands who gave to us this territory and allowed us the privilege of celebrating the anniversary of the en- trance to the City of Mexico on the 14th of September, 1847.” C. M. Shortridge, proprietor of THE Cavz, responded to the toast “Our Invited Guests.” He referred to the addresses of the gentlemen present, and said that he as an invited guest desired to pay tribute to the veterans. He said that no crown could be placed upon the brow of any one of them for whom he did not feel the deepest sym- pathy. He was proud of the fact that the American flag had been raised that day in their honor, and concluded by saying that he hoped every one present, those in particular who bad grown gray, might be preserved to again meet one year hence. General P. F. Walsh, in an eloquent and timely speech, responded to the toast ‘“The Army.” It was a pleasure, he declared, to say a few words in behalf of that distinguished organization, the army of the United States. Its career was one of honor and renown, from the farmer who stood on the bridge at Concord and fired the shot that was heard round the world to this day. They have maintained the honor of the flag and the supremacy of the Government. These veterans of the army whom he addressed he said had crowned their labors by a triumph unstained. *The Territory Acquired” was the sub- ject of an entertaining speech by Hon. C. A. Sumner, who showed the grandeur and wealth of California and the importance of the results of the Mexican War. General George W. Arbuckle responded to “The Navy,” and his response was pre- ceded by the reading of a telegram from Edwin A. Sherman, whois in Washington, stating that the Secretary of the Navy heartily co-operates in the plan to give a great naval display at Monterey next year in celebration of the fiftieth anniversary ot the hoisting of the American flag at that port. “The National Guard’’ was responded to by J. C. Currier. Colonel Joseph Stewart spoke feelingly of “Our Departed Comrades.” General D. W. C. Thompson spoke of the ““Veterans’ Home,” and W. C. Burnett related reminiscences. The very enjoyable programme was con- cluded with a song by Colonel A. An- drews. SUIT OVER COUPONS,. Order of the Golden Shore and Order of Pendo Said to Be the Same. Suit will be filed Monday morning against H. W. Mathews, president of an endowment organization known as the Order of Pendo. ' The action is really intended to deter- mine whether the Order of the Golden Bhore, an institution which existed in 1894, and the Order of Pendo, the defen- dant in the proposed suit, are not one and the same. In April of last year John N. Konig se- cured judgment against the Order of the Golden Shore for $300, that being the amount of a matured coupon. When it came to executing the d)ngment no prop- erty could be found, and in fact the organ- ization had to all appearanhces passed out of existence. Some time later the order of Pendo came into prominence, the offices of presi- dent and secretary being filled by the men who held similar positions in the defunct organization. he comgl-int will affirm that these orders are identical, and that the change rocks at the box containing the dynamite. It is a miracle that it did not explode and kill them. ————— He Clung to a Pile. Frank McDonald, a machinist living at 54 First street, went to Vallejo yesterday morning on the steamer Monticello and put in an appli- cation for a position in the navy-yard. e returned to the City last night with the steamer, and shortly after her arrival he was found by the crew of the fireboat in the water, clinging to one of the piles of the wharf. He was taken to the Receiving Hospital. He said he had been drinking with a young fel- low on the steamer and he shoved him off into the bay, but it is believed he fell off the wharf. FINNAN HADDIE, Origin of the Name of Smoked and Salted Haddock. The name Finnan came from the name of the place where haddock were first smoked—Findon, Scotland; haddie, from the Scotch pronunciation of haddock, and in Scotland were called Findon haddock, and years after, when they were sent for sale in England, were called finnan haddie. Itisnot known at what time they were first cured, but it was about the year 1750. They were first salted and dried, and afterward wet and placed in the ground, over a smoldering fire of dried peat. There is no record of the amount cured in England and Scotland, but many hundred tons are sold each sea- son. The two best brands in Scotland are the Eyemouth, a very mild cured, light-colored article, and the Aberdeen, a very dark celored and well- smoked™ fish, and have about an equal sale. Great quantities are now cured in England, Grimsby being the center, although Hull cures a large quan- tity. Durinfi 1892 27,650 tons of had- dock were landed at Grimsby at a value of nearly $1,500,000. ~ About half of these were cured directly, the other half shipped fresh, many of which were cured by merchants, particu- larly those of London, who prefer to cure their own haddies, and thus have the colored fish best liked by their customers. Haddies were first smoked in this coun- try about forty-five years ago by an Eng- lishman named Finlay, at Rockport, Mass., but the sales did not warrant a continu- ance, and he was obliged to give it up. A few years later parties in Portland, Me., began to cure them, and have continued to doso with increasing demand until five years ago. Portland having no vessels to supply the fish, and being obliged to buy most of her haddock in Boston, thereby being at a disadvantage, the trade has been turmed to the latter city. There are very few good brands of haddies packed in this country. Most of the curers think to split and dry a haddock is to make a finnan haddie. To make a good haddie uires much time and careful attention. e material used must be of the best, and the picklein which they are placed should contain the essen- tials to give the haddock the rich flavor, and at the same tine the praservinghqudi- ties; all depends on the pickle and the ma- terials used in smoking. Haddock should be first thoroughly washed, then the head is cut off, after which the fish is washed in a strong solution. The cleanersremoveall the black skin, blood and scrape the backbone; then the fish are split and putin a pickle an hour or more, according to the weather; then stretched on hooks, which are at- tached to sticks to hold them in the smoke- house, and then placed on dryers and al- lowed to thoroughly dri. Then they are placed in the smoking kilns, in tiers one above the other, leaving room for smoke to circulate until the house is full. A fire of oak wood is started all over the floor of the house, and burned until the fish are in roper condition (from six to eighteen Eours) when oak sawdust is applied to the fire, which smolders and produces a dense smoke that is kept up until the fish are thoroughly impregnated, when they are cooled an pu:kad.—Fishing Gazette. ——— ‘When first prepared the ‘“‘bodies’ of felt hats are much lnxi;,rer than they should be; they are reduced by sizing them with glue and a curious method of manipulation by which their dimensions are reduced over one-third.

The common people are not alone in their praise of Dr. Sanden’s Electric Belt. It has secured, by its wonderful superiority over drugs, the commendation of the best class of physicians in San Francisco=-yes, in the whole United States, It is recognized as superior to batteries or other methods of treatment for nervous or organic disorders. Physicians are forced to acknowledge its superior curative power over medicine, and several of the most eminent doctors of San Francisco have taken up the application for the benefit of their patients, and the use of this appliance instead of medicine has already shown marked changes in the cases treated. The names of men with first-class reputations as physicians, who have begun the use of Dr. Sanden’s Electric Belt, can be had at Dr. Sanden’s office; They are men of advanced, progressive thought, and their adoption of this appliance is but another evidence of the victory of science and reason over the bigotry and ignorance of the past.

WHAT DOCTORS BAY. ‘Appended are some of the opinions expressed by men of world- wide reputation as to the comparative merits of medicine and its suc~ cessor—Electricity—for the cure of disease: KIDNEYS. It gives new strength to the Kidneys, makes them — . strong in their purifying action. It removes all pain and weakness from the back and makes every muscle strong. “0Of all science medicine is the most uncertain.”—PROF. WILLARD PAR- KER, M.D. “Since Electricity s undoubtedly the instrumentality of all life it necessarily fol- lows that this elemens constitutes nature’s own most potent remedy in sexual diseases when rightly applied,” says PROF. O. 8. FOWLER, the noted phrenologist. “Every dose of medicine is a blind experiment,” says DR. BOSTWICK, author of “History of Medicine.” Professors BEARD and ROCKWELL in their scientific work on Medical Elec- tricity, say: ‘‘There is little doubt that if electricity could be given in the form of pills or powders its use would be increased one thousand fold.” Coming from the highest authorities in the medical profession these opinions must go home to sufferers who wish to be cured quickly and surely without poisoning the stomach with drugs. These men were eared by Dr. Sanden’s Electric Belt after med- icine had failed. “After using medicine for three years your Belt has cured me of Nervous Debility and Lost Manhood. F.
