Powers, | SINGLE TAY IN DELAWARE, Congressman Maguire’s Ad- dress at Foresters’ Hall Last Evening. SENATOR GRAY ANSWER. How Democrats and Republicans Regard the Movement— Mr. Scully’s Ruse. “The fight in Delaware cannot help being of great and lasting good to the single- tax movement all over the world,” Con- gressman James G. Maguire told the ap- preciative audience that gathered at For- ester's Hall last evening to welcome: his veturn from the East. ‘It may not succeed in carrying Dela- ware for the single-tax in 1896, though I am hopeful that it will,” he added, *‘but whether the end of the campaign shall be in honorable defeat or a glorious victory, the great stimulus given the movement by the campaign will surely be of lasting value to the cause at large.” It was of the Delaware single-tax cam- paign almost wholly that Judge Maguire spoke last evening, but at the end of his address he reverted to the case of William Scully in Illinois, as showing the futihty of laws forbidding the alien ownership of land. The Legislature of Tllinois passed such a lawin 1884, aimed particularly at Scully. He bad been driven out of Ireland for his brutality as a landlord, and had in- vested his great wealth in immense farm land boldings in Southern Illinois. After the law passed, Scully came over to Illinois from his London palace, and gave notice of hisintention to become a citizen of the United States. A few days ago he took | the oath of allegiance to Uncle Sam, and | then made preparations for resuming his | residence in London. As to the campaign in Delaware, it had progressed to an extraordinary extentin | the northern part of the State, the speaker said. And now about the only public question discussed there was the single tax on land values. There are three counties in the State—Newcastle in the north and Sussex and Essex in the south—ana all of | them do not cover as large a territory as Santa Barbara County. The_single-tax men claim to be able to carry Newcastle County should an election be held at once, and Judee Maguire be- lieves they will certainly be able to carry it by the time of the election in 1896. In Sussex and Essex counties the campaign has not been as successful for the reason that in these counties reside the more con- | servative elements. Here, too, in the last | years of the nineteenth century are to be | found the piliory, the ducking-stool and the whipping-post of the sixteenth cen- tury. The local single tax men, howeve very hopeful of carrying the entire State in 1896 in being able to hold the balance | of power among the electors of the south- ern counties. l’i‘hey do-not propose to in- | stitute a third party movement, but to vledge candidates for the Legislature to vote for a single-tax measure. At first the | Democrats were alarmed at the movement | and went to consult with United States Senator Gray. They told bim it would be necessary in order to save the party in | that State to get up counter meetihgs ana | answer the single-tax speakers. Senator Grey asked who was going to do the an- swering. They replied that he should do some of it. e told them frankly that he Susie | rand intelligent and re- | | week. Rabbi Julius Fryer will be elected for a i period of not less than one year. This congregation will hold a fair at lone week. Extensive preparations are being made for this event.

PRISON DIRECTORS MEET The Railroad Embankment at Folsom to Be Widened for Two Tracks. Objectlons by the Folsom Power Company Cause a Modiflcation of the Plan. The Board of State Prison Directors held a meeting vesterday morning in President De Pue's office in this City. It was strictly | @n executive session and every member of | Warden Hale of San Quentin and Secre- | tary of the Board Ellis. ! The members of the board desire to { widen the railroad embankment along the river near Foisor Prison so that four rails may be laid in place of the single track now used. The preparation of the ground | atthe prison forthe erection of the new | rock-crushing plant has caused a great { deal of éxcavating and the earth and rock resulting has been used on the embank- | ment. This has the effect of narrowing and the Folsom Power Company, which owns all the land thereabouts and the water rights, considers that this will result to the corporation’s detriment. Hence a vigorous vrotest has been filed with the board and it was the consideration of this matter which largely o ccupied the direct- ors at the meeting. Consnlting Engineer Eckhart was called in. He brought maps and plans with him and expiained the situation, and related the progress of the work on the rock- they think the objections of the power j company will be overcome. According to i this plan the earth excavated will be di: | tributed along the edge of the emban will be secured by blasting out the moun- tain side on the inner edge of the present track. Charles J. Walden, the prison book- keeper at San Quentin, has returned from a week’s furlough. During his absence he was married to Miss Addie Lundberg of | San Francisco, Rev. J. Cumming Smith officiating. Walden was formerly from San Joaquin County. g Ottoya Naya, a Japanese, who was sen- tenced to two years in San Quentin for shooting the wife of the steward of the Pa- cific Yacht Club in Sausalito, was received at the prison during September, but proved | to be crazy and was transferred to the | Stockton Insane Asylum next day. He would not put his feet to the ground and had torbe transported in a baggage-truck. Some more parole cases were taken up at vesterday’s meeting of the board, but fa- vorable action was not taken in any case. It is confidently anticipated that | *“‘We are her lineal descendants,” smil- | Union Square Hall on the 28th inst., to last | | tion with the festival, the proceeds of | {the board was present, as were also | the gorge through which the river flows | orushing plant.

Miss May Meade is a San Francisco girl. Miss Ransom is from Winnipeg, Miss Wood from Pennsylvania, | Miss Ryan from Boston and Mrs. Reed | from Portland. It isa notable fact that among the twenty applicants to enter the school are young women from New Eng- land and the South as well as sections less remote. The broad training in an insi the character of the City and County Hos- pital is invaluable. Scarcely a disease in the long category of human ills is omitted in the diagnoses of the cases of suffering within its walls, and the pupils have their quota of service in the care of all classes of cases. ‘‘You do not seem very robust. How jean you endure such sights?” was the query to one of the nurs *Oh, we can do almost anything ii we determine to,” was the reply, and then, softly, “‘they need help so much, you know.” And the qualifications for entrance upon the two years of work and study are a fair education, cheerfulness, patience infinite, steadfastness of purpose, sympaihy tem- pered with judgment, and kindly sent ment without a trace of far-fetched senti- mentality, in the language of the superin- tendent. The girl who has dreamy fancies about sitting by bedsides and reading to the pain-racked figure will soon have her illusions dispelled by a demand for more material ministrations. The corps of nurses, who are all pupils in the school. is nineteen strong, compris- ing about balf the number necessary. Hence the werk incumbent upon the young women who ‘comprise it is far from light, { Yet, notwithstanding’ their too onerous burdens, there are evidences in plenty of faithfal performance of their tasks.

One of the alumn® of the Training School for Nursesin the Phila- delphia Hospital. her career since her graduation, in 1886, has been a steady pro- gression. Carrying with her an inspiration from the noble life of Miss Alice Fisher, her in- structor, she did eflicient service consec tively as night superintendent of the Uni versity of Pennsylvania Hospital, head nurse of the Penn Hospital, Philadelphia; chief nurse of the Cooper Hospital at Camden, N. J.; matron. of the Phila- delphin Hospital, in which there were 1700 inmates, and superintendent of the Train- inf School for Nurses at Allegheny. Miss Patton contemplates some valuable innovations in the course of instruction at the City and County Hospital. “‘Cocking isafad with me, if I have one,” she re. marked. “Too much stress can hardly be laid -upon the mecessity of nurses being able to cook the delicate dishes require: for invalids. cook meats in such a way that they are at once npfie ing and dxgestible. I hope to establish at the City and County Hospital adiet kitchen, and to make . practical ex- perience in that department an essential part of the course of training for nurses. **I consider such training indispensable, It is my purpose, too, to include instruc- tion in massage. This is of great assist- ance in the care of nervous patients. I do not intend, of course, to turn out experts in massage but to enable the nurses to em- my it in an intelligent manner when it omes & necessity, as is sometimes the case to induce sleep.” Prominent ladies who know of the faith- ful, ‘quiet’ labors of the elect among the “They .should know how to prepare | nourishing soups, jellies and custards, and ! | pected that an ordinance will be drawn up | with provisions satisfactory to all con- cerned. In the recent cases which have come up in the Police Court. cases where the de- fendants were offenders against the park bicycle ordinance, 1t was conceded by | the attorney of the Park Commission, | George A. Knight, that the ordinance was | invalid. The ordinance as it now stands | defines all the crimes of whicha moving | bievele and its owner can be capable, but | it provides for no punishment of the of- | fenders, and so it is valueless. { There has always been a guestion as to whether the Park Commission could pass anything more than a simple regulation, for the Legislature, it is clzimed, cannot delegate ‘the power to make laws to any such body as the Park Commission. Before the meeting of the committee ‘Wednesday, a call will be issued to all the bicycle clubs of the City asking that they appoint a committee of three for the pur- pose of attending a general conference, at which the iaeas of the wheelmen can be put in shape for presentation. Then at the meeting of the Health and Pol mittee a committee of wheelmen will con- fer with the Park Commission, and among them some conclusion will be arrived at. The organized wheelmen, who are inter- esting themselves in the ordinance, are all in favor of something of the kind, for they say that while their club regulations govern them, the unattached wheelman is fancy free, and he, they say, is the man who brings trouble and discredit on the brotherhood. About the only Yoint upon which the different sides will be at variance is the carrying of a lantern. Representative wheelmen concede the advisability of carrying a iantern in the park, but ask that buggies be made to do the same, for frequently when a_buggy is heard in the dark it is impossible to tell whether it is i going away or bearing down on the rider. { ~ Itisclaimed to be almost impossible to i keep the lamp lighted in some streets, | and wholly so on the stones which form | pavements in most places. Then, too, the | wheelmen say the lamp is always the first | thing damaged in a smash-up, and then, | if night overtakes the rider, he must push his wheel home or run the risk of arrest. ! It is always going out, always ratthing, | always spiiling oil all_over the wheel and { the rider too when he touches it, and it is ! universally condemned asa useless and | bothersonie tixture. | A bell, the wheelmen say, is every bit as good, and if every wheel were compelled to |carry a good one, and to use it when | necessary, it would serve every purpose of | ajantern. e | The wheelmen are willing to keep down | to ten miles an hour, but they think this is | not enough for a bicycle. They want to be allowed to run faster than this, as the wheel 1s much more easily handled, is stooped much quicker and”takes up very little space in the road. iimencan by Night Socialist Meeting. Pythian Hall was crowded to the doors last night with socialists, who had come to hear a new apostle in_the person of Morrison L. Swift of Boston. While Mr. Swift is an muresung talker, and appesars 1o have an ualimited stoc! | of socialistic facts and figures at nis tongue's nd, he saw proper, ol the occasion of his first ppearance in San Franeisco, to follow only caten paths. He spoke in a general way of the labor problem, and in eloguent, forcible language told of the remedies which should be used to correet existing evils. = i ——————— During the middle agess the controversial spirit was so high among seHolars that students under them carried arms and fought on meet- ing each other.

He said he did not want to see the single-tax principle go into effect or the Democratic party lose its Frip on the State, but he told his col- leagues plainly that at bottom the single- tax men had truth and justice on their side and that the less it was argued the better for its antagonists. Meanw hile the Republicans looked on with complacency Then a number of educated and distin- guished colored men from Philadelphia | and Washington, orators and men of great | rominence and ability, came down into elaware and told the negro Republican voters that the single tax meant freedom from industrial slavery. The Republicans tried to offset this by explaining to the negroes who owned their own homes in | that State, and consequently had great | influence among their less thrifty brethren, | that the single tax would increase their land tax. But the negroes answered, said Jndge Maguire, that the freedom from all personal taxation would far more than compensate for this slight increase in their land rates, and to-day nearly all the negro voters in Delaware are single-tax advocates. A NEW SOCIETY CRAZE, Children’s Cotjllon _ Parties, Popular in the East, May “Take’ Here. EventsIn Oakland—Teas, Luncheons and Other Entertain- ments. Children’s parties have been given very frequently this sesson at Newport, and these affairs, although even for very young children, are’ kept up quite late. The cotillon is usually led, however, by one of the older men, Elisha Dyer Jr., Tom Cush- ing and Roger Winthrop being called upon for the occasion. These entertainmentsare in every way as hundsome as the affairs for the older members of society,and were it not that there is no dispiay of jewels and the frocks of the young girls are naturally sim- pler than those worn by their sisters and mothers on similar occasions,there is little | difference in these balis. The beauty of her sex is undoubtedly Miss Lillie Oel- richs, the daughter of Mr.and Mrs. Charles | Oelrichs and the niece of the well-known millionaire Hermann Oelrichs,who arrived | here on Saturday last from New York. | The beaux asked to meet them are college boys. Some few of the elders are asked to help out these juvenile balls, and but for this dancing would be entirely a thing of the past in Newport. ¢ The newly organized Fortnightly Club in Oakland held its first meeting at Mili- tary Hall on Friday evening, October 4. This club, like the Friday Fortnightly Club here, is composed of the young society people and will meet twice a month atthe above men- tioned hall. Every fourth meeting will be an assembly evening.

The luncheon was given in honor of Mrs. Bert Stone (nee Weihe), who has just returned from her bridal tour. | Mrs. Will Ashe entertained a ‘number of friends at a 4 o’clock tea on Thursday at her residence, 1005 Leavenworth street.

Following the ceremony to the strains of “Lohengrin’s” wedding march the guests seated themselves to partake of the wedding dinner. After dinner dancing was in- augurated and kept up until after midnight. The numerous handsome presents received by the brides attested their popularity on both sides of the bay. Both couples have gone on a wedding trip to the southern part of the State, and upon their return they will make their future homes in Berkeley. .

SLIFPED FRON THERLCKS A Young Man Said to Have Been Lost Near the CIiff House. , next al and Benevolent econd annual ball bth inst., at B'nai 5. Farquhar and daughter have gone to Constantine Kaufer Saw Him Fall in the Surf and Tried in Valn to Save Him. A young man whose identity is yot yet known slipped off one of the outlying rocks near the Cliff House yesterday after- noon and was lost in the surf. The Morgue officials had not heard of any such occur- rence in that vicinity at°'a late hour last night, but the testimony of Constantine Kaufer, an eye-witness of the affair, is to the effect that the young man sank some distance from shore, and after struggling for several minutes in a choppy surf was lost from sight. Mr. Kaufer was seen at his home, 1439 Ellis street, last evening, and told his story 1 of the drowning as he saw it. “It was about 2 o'clock in the after- noon,” he said. “I had gone to the beach with my two boys and found a good fish- ing-place nearly under the ledge of rocks beneath the CIiff HouSe. A few hundred yards from where I sat I noticed a young man on one of the large rocks lying pretty far out in the surf and nearer the car-line terminus. *‘One of my boys suddenly called to me nd I looked up in time to see the strange fisherman stumble and fall headlong into the water. I hurried back to the beach and then walked out on the small rocks to where he had been sitting. It was very foggy and I only saw him for a moment at atime. I called for assistance, but of the large crowd which gathered none seemed willing to follow me out to the rock. 1 could do nothing to' save him. I waited for some time and then took his bag and pole, which I have in the house. Several other persons on the rocks above yelled to me a number of times when they caught a glimpse of him. He was a man of maybe vears and wore a dark suit. I recall ing else in his appearance.’” well-known on this side of the bay as the nephew of Mr.and Mrs. Lloyd Tevis, and Miss th Mauvais, second daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Romeo Mauvais of San Jose, was the event of the week in society circles in the latter city, 25 not! There were two other accidentsat the beach yesterday, but in neither case did any one fall into the surf.
