16 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 11, 1895. MASSING THE FORCES AGAINST BUCKLEY Deuprey Committee Re- enforced From the Camp of Watkins. POLITICS ON THE SLATE. Great Gathering of Lambs at the Occidental Club Last Night. BIG TAX LEVY DENOUNCED. Rallroad Commissioners James I. Stanton and H. M. La Rue Highly Commended. The Democratic committee of twenty- five, known as the Deuprey Committee, met in the Mills building last evening and sang, F.C. Cleary, J. F. Smith and John Gately. Some little time elapsed before proceed- ings began, the delay being attributed to the absence of Mr. Deunrey. Before the members became impatient there was a little side conference, in which Gayin Mec- Nab, Sammy Brauzhart, Colonel Sullivan and V. C. Tobin participated. When they broke away Braunhart stepped resolutely to the front and said ina firm voice, “I move that the meeting be called to order, and I nominate Colonel William P. Sulli- van temporary chairman.” The nomination was promptly seconded, and Colonel Sullivan elected without oppo- sition. He took the chair, acknowledged the compliment and called for the election of a temporary secretary. John F. Mc- Govern was immediately elected for this lace. p“’ithout delay Mr. Braunhart moved that the chairman of the last municipal convention (Mr. Deuprey) be authorized to filt all present and future vacancies on the committee. Without a murmer of dissent the motion was carried. At this point in the groceedinga Mr. Tobin arose and suggested that the com- mittee go into executive session. ‘The sug- gestion elicited profound silence, which was broken by the observation of the chairman that no one had seconded the }\mg)osizion. Then Tobin subsided grace- ully. The chairman looked at Braunhart, SAMUEL BRAUNHART.

He did not even trust the secretary or the chairman to read it, but read it him- self, to the evident satisfaction of Gavin McNab. George T. Marye seconded the resolution with appropriate alacrity, and the com- mittee adopted the same without hesita- tion as soon as the chairman stated the question. The committee then adjourned, with the agreement that another meeting be called not later than next week. Colonel Sullivan presided with remark- able impartiality thronghout. He even put the negative of each proposition to the committee, when nothing but exces- sive courtesy seemed to suggest it. Everything was carried out according to the programme which TrE CALL published yesterday morning. The significance of the resolution adopted is that A. A. Watkins will appoint =~ —_— = e SULLIVAN. “Call” artist.] committee was appointed, but delegates | twenty-five anti-Buckley men to re-enforce distinctly remember that Deuprey named the men and every man so named was anti-Buckley. Last evening all of the committeemen so appointed assembled at the Mills buildin, excepting William M. Metson, Alex Vogefi the anti-Buckley Deuprey committee of twenty-five. 5 The result of the meeting must be re- garded as a vigtory for the John Daggett and Gavin M¢Nab end of the party, and ! what Buckley may do to counteract its Highest of all in Leavening Power.— Latest U.

Something like 300 sterling Democrats stoutly ogposed to giving Fed- eral employers any chance of hooking the ersimmon_were present. There were no Lanigans, McNabs or Welburns present. Several broaa - shouldered doorkeepers guarded against that. No one was ad- mitted unless he borea card or was per- sonally recognized by the ‘“true hlues’ who flocked about the vestibule. Buck- ley’s standard floated over the doorway and Buckley’s lieutenants counted the noses. 3 The notices of the meeting bore the in- formation that ‘‘matters of the utmost imrortance to the Democratic party, as well as this organization, will be presemeyx'i to the members by competent speakers. The business transacted was a general handshake all round, an interchange of warnings to stand by the standard, the passage of resolutions eulogizing Railroad Comimissioners La Rue and Stanton and Supervisor Dimond for standing by their platform pledges. A lot of faithful orators made star-spangled speeches on Demo- cratic principles, President John McCarthy directed the meeting. Sam Newman, A T. Spotts and other pillars of the club stood by and smiled benevolently on the shouldering young Buckley lambs. When the meeting had got down to business the following resolutions were carried in a whirl of genuine enthusiasm: Resolved, That the Occidental Club and as- sociate Democrats, in meeting assembled, hereby tender Hon. James I Stanton of San Francisco and Hon. H. M. La Rue of Sacramento our sincere and hearty congratulations for the strict integrity which has characterized their course as members of the State Board of Rail- road Commissioners. 3 i Resolved, That we beg to express our high appreciation, not only of their great ability and faithful adherence to their party pledge, but also, and especially, for their sterling hon- esty of purpose and sympathy with the masses hose wrongs they will right. Resolved, That we commend them as able and incorruptible servants of the people, and for their devotion to the principles of the party of Jefferson and Jackson. Supervisor Dimond’s action in fighting the exorbitant $2 25 tax levy and his con- sistent action in other important questions | before the board gained for him the follow- ing commendation: Resolved, That we commend our fellow- Democrat, the Hon. Joseph I. Dimond, Super- visor of the Fifth Ward of San Francisco, for his honorable and upright course in the dis- charge of his official duties, and as an able and consistent advocate of correct political prin- ciples, and whose public record entitles him to the respect and regard of his fellow-citizens. The resolution went through with a whoop. Something like a dozen speakers held the floor at different times during the even- ing. Among them were Joseph Rothchild, M. Miller, Reel B. Terry, Colonel O’Byrne and Peter F. Dunne. All the speakers took occasion to speak in the highest praise of Railroad Commissioners La Rue and Stanton for the great work in reducing the rates on railroad freight. They all felt confident that if Democrats in office stood by their pledges in that fashion nothing under the sun could keep the Democratic party out of office. The speakers were frequently interrupted with cheers and applause and the meeting broke up with an old-time yell for the Oc- cidental Clu FATHER MATHEWS' DAY, A Ringing Total Abstinence Address by Archbishop Riordan. He Hopes That the Time Will Come When No Catholic Will Be a Saloon-Keeper. The annual temperance entertainment under the auspices of t he League of the Cross was given last evening in Metro- politan Temple. The hall was crowded to that extent that even standing room in the aisles was at a premium. The occasion was called “Father Mathe w’s day,” forit marked the one hundred and flfth anni- versary of the birth of the most zealous apostle of temperance the world has ever produced. The hall was beautifully dec- orated. The entertainment began with an organ relude by Professor J. H. Dohrmann, fol- owed by a prayer li}' the Most Rey. P. W. Riordan. Thomas H, Falion, president of the League of the COross, presented the annual report of the executive committee. The madrigal chorus, composed of twenty young lads, under the direction of Pro- fessor F. J.de Burgo, was hly appre- ciated. An eloquent eulogy of Father Mathew was delivered by John J. Barrett. The League of the Cross Cadets’ chorus of eighteen voices rendered the selection, “Forward,”” with great spirit and expres- sion. The chorus was composed of: Lieutenant M. Sweeney, staff; Lieutenant D. Berry, Company C; Sergeant W. Fitzgerald, Company. Cs' Corporal H. Hay, Company B; Drummer John Potter, Corzpany B, first tenor Lieutenant James Curley, Company B; Cor- poral T. Cusick, Company C; Corporsl Cal. wineford, Company C; Private Bert Minner, Company B; J. P. Duify, Company G, second tenor gmin D. Deasy, staff; Lieutenant T. Ryan, staft; Sergeant J. Kendrick, Company 15 Corporal F. Sullivan, Company 1, first bass: Sergeant Arthur Curtis, Company 1; Private Archie McDonald, Company I, second bass; Professor 8. J. Sandy, director. ‘When Archbishop Riordan arose he was greeted with a hearty welcome. He began his address by speaking of the work ac- complished by the League of the Cross temperance workers, as there are 7000 boys and young men enrolled under its banners. He eaid that when the movement was started the promoters were. confronted by great. obstacles. Saloons flourished on every side. No effort, he said, was made to rescue the old people, but the work was confined to the youth. Father George Montgomery took the work in hand, and later the burden fell upon the shoulders of Father Yorke. Hereafter Father Ryan will pay exclusive attention to the cause of temperance. The speaker then burst forth into une of the strongest temperance addresses ever delivered in this City. He said: Of all the evils that afilict us, the evil of in. temperance is the worst. 1f it were abolished the burden of taxes would practically be lifted from your shoulders, for it takes millions of money to keep up large police forces, maintain pensl institutions and_provide for the poor, made 50 by the curse of strong drink. Shut up every saloon in this City and you will have done more good for the community and hu- manity than the building of a dozen new rail- roads. The speaker said that he was hopeful, for the signs of the times pointed to a bet- ter future. New York was cited as an in- stance where the cause of temperance has obtained a foothold, for notwithstanding the combined wealth of New York brewers and liquor men—something like $80,000,000 —the temperance people have succeeded in closing the saloons on the Sabbath day. Continuing, he said: And the saloons—they stand for the greatest demoralization of the land. They stand for poverty, disease and sorrow. Drunkenness is ‘worse than war, pestilence and famine. Good may come out of these. War may resultin free- dom, and brotherly love and kindness come out of pestilence and famine. But what good ever comes out of drunkenness? None. 1 speak of saloons not with any personal ill- will toward their owners, but because I have a right to free speech. Lawsare sometimes made in the back rooms of saloons amid the clinking of glasses. In concluding his remarks the Arch- bishop said: The time will come when the name of no man who pretends to be a Catholic will be painted over a saloon door. 1 grieve when I see the name of one whose owner I believe to Dbe & Catholic painted on a saloonsign. Idon’t want to know him—I don’t want to know any saloon-keeper. The League of the Cross Cadets saluted the American flag, and after the audience sang ‘“America” while standing the people dispersed. —_——————— THE cold preventer & health-kecper.

The Jungles of the Unparalleled Wild West Accomplish What Africa Couldn’t Do, Henry M. Stanley, the man who has gone through Africa' with all the success and enthusiasm of Sherman headed to- ward the sea in the good old war days, is wandering somewhere in California. He has got lost; and though several newspaper expeditions have been sent out in search of him, nobody knows where he is. Stanley is the man who found Living- stone and wrote all aboutit, This work has been studied as a sort of textbook that might contain some suggestions applicable to the present search, butin no portion of it did the explorer tell howto find Stanley.

The members of the Board of Health in- spected certain tenements and rookeries of the Latin quarter yesterday. The worst section discovered was Margaret place, a blind alley opening on Vallejo street. Thirteen families were living in a dilapidated tenement-house. The building and yard were in very bad condi- tion. Refuse was disposed of by throwing it into a chute that led to'the back yard. Tne THE FEE BILL NOT VALID, Supreme Court Decision Against the County Gov- ernment Act of 1891. A §TANISLAUS TEST CASE. County Clerk Lewls’ Demand for Fees According to That Law Defeated. The Supreme Court has declared un- constitutional section 195 of the county government act of 1891 by reversing judg- ment in the case of George S. Bloss against J. A. Lewis, clerk of the Superior Court of Stanislaus County. Bloss sued for a writ of mandate to com- pel the clerk to accept a smaller fee than that act provided for. He was one of the executors of the estate of John W. Mitchell, who died in November, 1893, and left property in Madera, Merced and Fresno counties valued at $1,364,367 Lewis demurred that there was not suffi- cient ground for the action by Bloss and the demurrer was sustained. The executors tendered to the clerk $25 as payment for filing the inventory, but the clerk refused to accept that fee or to filethe inventory. The clerk claimed the fees prescribed by law, of $10 with $1 for each additional $1000, and in that way the fees would amount to $1358. The disputed section of the county government act is held to be class legisla- tion, and in the opinion Justice Van Fleet says: What is the difference in the condition of the eople or their properlg in the county of Stan- slaus from that of the people or property of other countles, which requires or justifiesa law compelling estates of decceased persons in that county 1o pay more for filing & paper in the office of the clerk of the Superior Court than is required to be paid by such estates for the same service in any other county in the State? The obvious reason for classifying courties for the purpose of regulating the compensation of officers according to service is that much more official service is required in some counties than in others, the purpose of the classification being to effect equality of com- pensation for like services of county officers throughout the State, whereas the effect of the law in question is diversity and inequality of official fees for like services without affecting EXPLORER HENRY M. STANLEY, WHO HAS SUCCESSFULLY GOT LOST IN THE WILDS OF CALIFORNIA AND HAS ONLY THE NAME OF SMITH FOR HIS IDENTIFICATION. [From a photograph by Taber.] ter Fair and was working his way back to Delaware afoot, met him in Illinois. The African recognized him and told a news- paper map, or in some way the story got out. Then the explorer couldn’t keep out of the way, as good-sized jungles are scarce in the East, but west of the Rocky Mount- ans the case was different. Stanley has been roaming all over Califor- nia, and, disguised with an assumed name, he has been encountering that democratic freedom which is the birthright of every American citizen and English tourist. While in the interior of the State he did not subscribe for any of the papers, and so he kept his name out of print. 4 He was in Lake County for a week, and nobody there knew it.. One of the persons who met and entertained him unawares was Senator John Fay of this City. Sena- tor Fay returned on Tuesday from a month’s vacation at Anderson. Springs, where the explorer stayed for several days. The main objects” of interest were Eoimed qut to the newcomer.by the an Francisco Senator, but there was no suspicion -at that time of the distinguished traveler's identity. Stanley was captivated by the wild and romantic beauty of Lake County, and though the statement y have been an exaggeration, he declared that some of the scenery was as wild as any he had ever seen. One of the Californians that most inter- ested the visitor was the owner of a little ranch about four miles from Anderson Springs. The man had livéd there since the country was settled, and he has seen the gradual encroachments on his terri- tory, though his nearest neighboris yet three miles away. *This man wants to sell out,” said the mountain girl, who was acting as guide to one of the excursions. “Don’t a ranch pay here?” asked the quiet stranger. “Oh, yes; it pays, but he says he wants freer air.” If Stanley ever goes to ‘Africa again he will probably take that man. From Lake County Stanley went through the Napa Valley. Then he came to San Francisco, and now he is supposed to be somewhere in Southern California. He was at Oakland a day or two, and there he found it hard te conceal his identity. He did not even visit the Geo- graphical Society while in this City. ere he used the name of Smith, know- ing that reporters would not like to interview anybody of that name. Now he is lost in the interior of the State again, and it will take another gt_anley or a second Dr. Livingston to find im.

The first of a series of receptions was given yesterday afternoon by Wilbur A. Reaser in his new studio in the Pierce |ARXili block. Every one pronounced the proceedings delightfully artistic and informal, tinged with a touch of Trilbyism in’fact. It was the pictures and the tapestries and all the accessories that recalled ‘‘Trilby,” for there was nothing, absolutely nothing, to recall in the faintest degree that awful Christmas party in the lLatin Quarter, where Mrs, t came so unexpectedly to the studio. e ¥ Society, both from San Francisco and Oakland, was well represented among the 200 guests. There were pretty girls in swagger gowns and brainy women in owns of severer cut.

TWO ROBBERS ROUTED. Mrs. Marshall, a Raliroad - Station Keeper, Wounded by Two Ruf- fians Near Baden. A bold attempt was made to rob the Southern Pacific's South San Francisco station, two miles from Baden and thirteen miles from this City, at 8:15 o’clock last evening. The station-keeper, C. L. Herbst, had just departed, leaving the station in charge of Mrs. Marshall, the night operator. One of the robbers, a tall fellow witha very dark complexion, kicked open the door and attempted to cross the counter. Mrs. Marshall warned him- to leave, when the other robber, who had a handkerchiet over his face, opened tire upon her with a pistol. Oue bullet struck the lady in the left shoulder, making an ugly flesh wound. The tall man also fired & shot at her, but missed. Mrs. Marshalt pluckily drew a revolver and opened fire upon the robbers, who fled. She fired six shots and is sure that she wounded the tall man. Mrs. Marshall was removed to St. Luke's Hospital, where her injury was dressed. Captain Spillane of the Southern police station at once detailed Sergeants Ben- nett and Burke, with seventeen police officers, to scour the conntry and guard all the roads leading to the City. —————— An Odd Fellows’ Social. Yerba Buena Lodge No. 15,1. 0. O. F., held a pleasant entertainment and socisl last even- ing in Odd Fellows’ Hall. The programme con- sisted of an organ voluntary by R. D.

The manager of a leading City bank yester- day, when a $4000 Eastern draft was pre- sented to him for signature, glanced at the name of the firm in whose favor it was drawn and called to the clerk. What is this tor?” “Chickens and eggs,” said the clerk. ““Confound these Californians ” blurted out the vexed banker, as he made a great blot with his signature, can’t they raise more why chickens and keep this egg money at home?" g SAVE a little and get sick—wear Jaros Hygienic Underwear and keep well.

Like an open book, our faces tell the tale of health or // disease. Pain and suffering and wrong living write their history on our fea- tures in unmistak- able lines. Hollow cheeks and sunken eyes, listless steps and languorous looks tell of wasting debilitating disease some place in the body. It may be one place or an- other, the cause is generally traceable to a common source —impure blood, and impure blood starts in the digestive organs. That most dreadful disease—consump- tion is what is known as constitutional. It is in the blood. In reality, it is scrof- ula of the lungs, and it can be cured g8 times in 100 if proper treatment be taken in its early smies. Sending good, clean, pure, rich, wholesome blood continu- o s‘liy through the diseased parts will gradually eradicate the disease. If the medicine taken be strongly purifying, healing and soothing, the cure will be even more rapid. Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery purifies the blood, stimulates digestive action, searches out disease-germs wher- ever they exist and puts the whole body into a vigorous, strong and healthy con- dition. It builds up solid, useful flesh, mubs out wrinkles, brightens the eyes and makes life really worth living. A big book of 160 pages telling all about it and full of gooé),a sensible health hints, with numerous testimonial letters and reproduced photographs and addresses of those cured, will be sent free to any one who sends six cents to cover postage.
