Daggett, who has anappreciation of pat- ronage second to no one, and whose grasp in that-direction is not easily shaken, still con- fronts the ambitious and confident Buck- ley, who, by dividing the forces of oppo- sition, hopes and expects to defeat them in sections. That this expectation has some founda- tion is illustrated by rumors of desertions of a very considerable number from the camp of the Junta to the castle of Boss Buckley. In short, it is apparent the solid strength of Buckley’s ancient following is being rallied about him, and that with the assistance of some powerful influences familiar in the workings of California politics Chris looks forward toan early abandonment of what he regards as a minor Cuban insurrection and to the speedy coronation of himself as supreme ruler of his political castles in Spain. To-morrow evening the Deuprey com- mittee of twenty-five Democrats, re-en- forced by twenty-five men from the gen- eral committee appointed by A. A. Wat- king, will meet in the Flood building.

Many Floral Tributes and a Large Attendance. Trinity Episcopal Church was filled to the doors yesterday morning at the fu- neral services of the late Andrew J. Moul- der, Superintendent of Public Instruction. The center of the church was occupied by the principals of the schools and in the surrounding pews were friends of the ly, city officials, teachers and ac- quaintances. All the schools were closed, but to avoid a crush the children were not in attend- ance. There was an elaborate display of floral tributes, tastefully arranged about the chancel by Secretary Stone of the Board of Education, assisted by Miss Emma E. Stinson, Miss Alice M. Stinson, Miss Mary F. Cusick and Miss Alice Ken- drick. A large armchair of chrysanthe- muras, ferns and roses occupied a conspicu- ous place. On the back of the chair, worked in violets on white, was the word “Vacant.” It was from the Polytechnic High School. The office of the secretary of tbe Board of Education sent a wreath on an easel, and Mrs. Wood of the Hearst Grammar School contributed a large open book of roses. There was a large violet wreath sent by ex-Mayor Pond, and near it a piece of chrysanthemums, roses and violets from Edward Pond. The Moulder SBchool sent a pink chrysanthemum wreath, the Teachers’ Club a natural ‘“‘growing” vase, the Horace Mann School a vase, the Pacific Heights School a piece in white chrysanthemums, the North Cos- mopolitan Grammar School a violet pil- low and Miss Vrooman a maidenhair fern and violet wreath. The funeral cortege arrived shortly after 11 o’clock. The pall-bearers were ex-Mayor Pond, Raphael Weil, E. D. Sawyer, C. G. Hooker, Madison Babcock, Professor George Davidson, George K. Fitch and Alexander Loughborough. Rev. Dr, Walk, rector of the church, conducted the service. He preached no regular sermon, the family having ex- pressed a desire for the omission of the usual eulogy. & The music was simple and appropriate. Chopin’s funeral march was given. The soprano soloist, Miss M. Flynn, sang ‘‘Angels Ever Bright and Fair.’ The other singers were Miss Olive Bachelder, contralto; H. M. Fortescue, tenor, and E. Atkinson, basso. Professor H. J. Stewart presided at the organ. 5 The impressive ceremony over, the im- fmense audience retired and the remains , the advisability of calling fogetherat | the Metropolitan Temple the 154 lambs | ; poused the canse of O'Brien in the | § SCO CALL, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 17, 1895 were returned ivat bk HIT to the hearse to b Pprivately The funeral almost emptied :} 'xl)n l‘é:g‘of ufli:ia]s.

Policemen Dower and McGreevy placed Fletcher and Simpson under arrest. Simp- son was taken to the Harbor Police station, and when searched three revolvers were found in his pockets. A CALIFORNIA BANQUET, PREPARED BY MRS. TOUCHARD FROM PRODUCTIONS OF THIS STATE. Fred Walker, SOIREE AND MUSICALE PRECEDE THE FEAST—FRUIT AND WINE DispPLAY. The California banquet was held last evening at the California Hotel. It was designed to exhibit not only the vast re- sources of this State in regard to its eata- ble products, but also to show how palata- ble these products could be made under the direction of an adeptin the culinary art. Previous to the banquet proper, which took place at 10 p. M., 2 musicale and re- ception were held. Hugh Craig bade the guests welcome to the good things which had been set for their entertainment. He outlined in a short address the objects for which the California banquet had been prepared. Like everything else at the banquet last evening, the music was Californian and rendered by artists from California. Misses Doyle, Cressy, White and Reynolds gave a “Lullaby” as a quartet. Following this was a piano-solo, and Mrs. Paxton, by special request, gave ‘‘Because I Love You, Dear.,” Miss Ruth White enter- tained with a song. A soprano and tenor duet from Stewart’s “‘Bluff King Hal”’ was well received. Miss Daisy Cressy rendered Howard’s “Remembrance” in a creditable manner. She was rewarded with an en- core. August Mignon’s ‘“Recompense” was sweetly sung by Miss Rose Adler, which brought the musical proceedings to a close. The banquet then took place. The cafe of the California *Yotel, in which it was held, was decorated in a charming man- | ner. At the upper end of the salon the California Bear held sway over an enor- mous sun. On one side, on alarge table, an exhibit of California productions was effectively ayed. Prunes, plums, apricots, glace s, olive oil, champagne, candies, canned fruit, clarets, ports were shown in bewildering variety. The menu, which occupied twenty pages of the programme, was as follows: Oysters, creamed; lettuce, egg stuffed peppers; spiced gherkins; oysters, raw; cucumber salad; artichoke: sauce; pull crackers; cheese; sauterne; ters, en coquille; tomato salad; peaches; salted almonds; {fruit craci sherry; 'black halibut; potato, Parisienne: brandy cherries; macaroni, Spanish; claret; terrapin stew, a la Maryland; snowflake crack. ers; orange salad; aspic jelly, beef; olives: sherry; turkey, ‘cranberry sauce; brandy | peaches; spiced pickled prunes; frijoles, Span- ish; sherry; bear's meat, currant jelly: aspic jelly, veal; ' pears stewed 1n claret; figs o la Parisienne; ‘white wine: striped cels fried in butter; fruit crackers; ripe olives: | stewed bananas; asparagus salad; burgundys | chicken fricasse 8 la sauce d’olives; celery cheese points; spiced pickled figs; sautern silver prunes; celery; reisling; roast beef stuffed tomatoes; fried egg plant; salted wal- nuts; punch; 'prune ice cream; Isabelia | grapes; chocolate cake; almonds, iruit cake; October strawberries, pecans, oranges, choco- | late, cheese, frozen watermelon, nut jumbles, prune souftiee, conserved fruits, champagne, watermelon, alligator pears, pomegranates, cantaloupe, guava jelly, grape juice, olivi oil candy{ raisins (white, red and black), apples, peaches, pears, plums, bananas, oranges; figs, white; grapes, white; grapes, red; grapes, black; flgs, black; assorted mar- malades, jellfes, preserves, conserves, glaced fruits, grape food, chocolate souffiee, Wwalnuts, chestnuts, olive oil, caramels, lemonade.

The Cows Were All Healthy and No Impwkity Was Found in Their Product. Milk Inspector J. P. Dockery has made a thorough investigation of the sanitary conditions at 8t. Joseph’s Orphan Asylum in relation to the milk fed to infants, and came to the conclusion that no evil results come from the milk supply. “When the unusual mortality among the infants was brought to my attention,” said Mr. Dockery last evening, “I decided at once to make a thorough investigation. T accordingly paid a visit to the asylum Wednesday, taking with me Dr. Creely, the veterinary surgeon. We examined the premises carefully and found the cows in first-class condition and the place kept ex- ceptionally neat and clean.” We selected two of the poorest looking cows and gave them hypodermic injections of tuberculine to determine if they were affected with tuberulosis. I visited the place again yes- terday and found the cows in perfect health. Were they afflicted with consump- tion they would have bheen in high fever ! yesterday—twenty-four hours after the if- jection was given. Dr. Creely declared they were in perfect health. The remain- der’of the stock is in excellent condition.” e e Fell Forty Feet. Frank Springer, 2 bricklayer, living at Castro and El Dorado streets, fell from a scaffold in the rear of the Parrott building yesterday morn- ing into the basement, & distance of forty feet. He was picked up in an unconscious condition and taken to the Receiving Hospital. His col- larbone and three ribs on the leftside were fractured and he was injured internally. His | of it is exaggerated; maybe not. AFORTY-NINER'S RETURN, v ADVENT OF THE MAN WHO ORGAN- IZED THE CANDELARIA DISTRICT. HE RAN THE FIRST SALOON A PICTURESQUE CHARACTER WHO SEES MANY CHANGES IN MoD- ERN SAN Francisco. There came to town yesterday the man who glories in the distinction of having established the first saloon in Oandelaria. Heis a veteran of the Mexican war, one of the oldest living miners in the State, and the last time he visited San Francisco the water came up to Montgomery street. That was September 6, 1840—some years before the Durrant trial began, and even antedating the selection of the Postoffice site. Having enjoyed all these advantages John C. Roach—for that is the gentleman’s name—ought to have become a Southern Pacific mangate, orat least a janitor at the new City Hall. But he has preferred to programme were. Tumbling—James Har- ris, Jule Chester, William Lamont; con- tortion act, Ray ‘Lamont; Roman rm%s_ Richard Leon, John Rand; trapeze, Wil- liam Lamore. 7 Wrestling—Sparrow, Brill, Buttler and Armbuster. Singing—Kelley, Matt Mar- low, James Donahue and the Franklin Quartet. s % Boxing—Alex Greggains, Joe King, Jean Kelley, Frank RgJ) ael, Dal Hawkins, Charles Reno, §pider Kelly and George Bates. ; Musical selections were rendered by Tony Lyons, Charles Patterson, Ed Law- ler and the Trilby Mandolin Club. The principal event of the evening was the boxing bout between Frank Raphael, winner of the feather-weightboutat the Olympic Club the other evening, and Jean Kelley. 3 The evening’s entertainment was con- cluded with dancing. HUNTINGTON'S CHANGES With His New General Manager He Remodels the Railroad Manage- ment, The first official circular from General Manager Kruttschnitt of the Southern Pacific Company was issued yesterday to all offices of the company. It was ap- proved by C. P. Huntington and referred only to changes in the officers of the transportation department, as follows: Lines in Oregon under the management of Richard Koehler, manager, with headquarters at Portland, Or. Pacific system lines under the management of J. A. Fillmore, manager, with headquarters at San Francisco, Cal. Atlantic system lines under the manage- ment of W. C. Van Vieck, manager, with head- quarters at Houston, Tex. The above officers will be held responsible JOEN C. ROACH, WHO RAN THE FIRST SALOON IN THE CAN- DELARIA DISTRICT. [Sketched by a *“ Call” artist.] remain justa plain, ordinary citizen, now a resident of Kern County, but better known among mining men the State over as John C. Roach of Roach’s Camp, Tuol- umne County. But this man has a history, and there are probably some very rich men in this City who would rather not see him. He was the original owner of the Alleghany | claim at Candelaria, and those who know the history of that famous camp know that the name of the Allegharny lode was after- ward changed to the Southern Nevada. Such men as Pat Reddy, L. Lawton, H, H. Allen, Buck Minister, . Rhodes and A. M. Thatcher were, he says, his immedi- ate successors to the Alleghany claim and the cabin that stood upon it. An old chum of Roach’s, one Howard, owned the Chief of the Hills claim, and it is to avenge the murder of Howard that Roach now comes to San Francisco. At least, this is what he sn?'s‘ Howard was cruelly murdered, he declares, and several efforts were made to poison him. He has a long tale of woe to relate, much of it sickness and much of it intrigue and worse, and all of it connected with the early history of Candelaria. Maybe some i But at any rate John C. Roach is esque character to-day and ean outswear almost any ordinary man. He says he or- ganized the Candelaria district, and this gives him somewhat of a historical halo. He located the first claim and opened the first barroom. Inthose dayshehaddollars by the thousands; now be counts them by the dozen. John McDonald opened the second saloon at Candelaria. Dave Kisick came third, and then Phil Moiloy. After that they came in scores, and two years after Roach’s barroom was opened there were almost as many drinking places as there were claims or cabins. Mr. Roach is a guest of Montgomery’s Second-street Hotel. He has_ written” a letter to Governor Budd, explaining all the wrongs he has Pnff'ered, and is now waiting to see if the chief executive will espouse his cause and set him right before the world—which is not probable. Mr. Roach, in truth, is a man with a grievance, but a most interesting character withal. He was not a little astonished when he walked about the City yesterday to see the changes made since his_last visit. There were no trolley carson Kearny street in '49, he says, but Market street was about as well ‘paved as it is now, and Sansome street was a much better and smoother driveway than at present. “I see the Civic Federation is still alive here,” he said, ‘'but in the old days it did 1ts business much more eqpeditiously and effectively than it doesnow.’” MURDERERS HANG TO-MORROW, Marshal Baldwin Still Refuses Passes to the Execution. United States Marshal Barry Baldwin adheres to his intention of not permitting spectators at the hanging of 8t. Clair and Hansen. He will not even permit the fiance of the latter to see him, and is taking evéry pre- caution to see that the orders from Wash- ington requiring him to conduct the exe- cution with all secrecy are strictly ad- hered to. The men are to be hanged together to- morrow, and the Marshal went to San Quentin yesterday to make the final prepa- rations, “The Marshal will probably be assisted_by United States Secret Service Agent Harris, who was once Sheriff of Santa Clara County and thoroughly un- derstands the operation of scaffolds and their paraphernalia. it THE AMATEUR ATHLETES, Ladles’ Night at the San Francisco Ath- letic Club. Last night was ladies’ night at the San Francisco Athletic Club, and a large audi- ence, mostly ladies, assembled at the club- rooms to witness the evening’s entertain- ment. This was the San Francisco Athletic Club’s initial attempt with a ladies’ night, and the brilliant success it proved to be has caused the members to have a ladies’ night included as part of their regular monthly entertainments hereafter. recovery is doubtful. 1 Those who took part in. the evening's uite a pictur- | | for the efficient and economical management of the property in tneir charge and shall exer- cise on their respective systems the same authority as is exercised by the general man- | eger over the entire property. | The maintenance of way départment of the | Oregon lines ana of the Pacific system will be | under W.

A committee of bicycle-renters appeared before the License Committee of the Board | of Supervisors yesterday and tried their | hardest to have the $5 per quarter license | on shops doing a business of less than $600 | reduced to $2. Messrs. Merrill, Backus, | Garrity, Kenney and Colonel Ewing did | most of the talking. They admitted that the cut they asked wasonly one cent a day, but they urged that it was right and jus that it should be granted. Other mer- | chants doing business in- proportion only | paid $2, and they believed they should be placed in the same class. | After an animated discussion the License | Committee took the matter under advise- | ment and the visitors retired. Later on it | was decided to keep the license atthe same figure, $5.per quarter, for the present quarter, anyhow. - A MYSTERIOUS DEATH. Hulda Johnson Expires Under Suspicious Circumstances. Miss Hulda M. Johnson, a young dress- maker keeping lodgingsat 517 Jessie street, died last night under very suspicious eir- cumstances. Dr. Somers of 103¢ Mission street re- E{uned the case to the Morgue at 11:10 p.x. He says he was sent for during. the morn- ing by a laay who lodfed at Miss John- son’s place, and that he found Miss John- son in a dying condition there. He called in Dr. Taylor.

Dr. Marion Thrasher, 1236 Market street, swore out & warrant in Judge Joachimsen’s court i’exterdly for the arrestof A. A.John- ston, 917 Sutter street, on the charge of ob- taining money and property by false pretenses. The compiaint alleges that on June 11 Johnston represented himself the owner of a lot of ten acres in section 28, township 4 south, range 2 east, Alameda County, and in ex- change obtained from Dr.Thrasher $25 cash and a loton the corner of Cypress and Nine- teenth streets, Alameds, of the value of 00. Since then Dr. Thrasher claims that he has discovered that Johnston falsely repre- sented himself as owner of the ten-acre lot. st S oy Charles W. Ham’s Bequests. Charles W. Ham, who died in this City on October 12, left a £56,000 estate to his tamily— a half to his wife and_the remainder in eqnal shares to his son and daughter, Charles H. Ham and Mrs. Abbie J. Forbes. Mr. Ham owned $50,000 of stock in the Port Blakeley Mill Compeny and of stock in the Oake land Fruit and Land Company, ds of the maintenance of wayand [ TEAL CLUB MUST FIGHT. Lewis Pierce Will Bring Suit for the Blockading of a Slough. INDIGNATION AT SUISUN. A Yacht That Has Steamed Around the World Now Located Near Suisun. The first clash between the members of the aristocratic preserve clubs which have claimed by lease of title every foot of marsh land in the vicinity of Suisun of any value to sportsmen, and those who are antagonistic to a grab-all system of shooting territory, has appeared. On Tuesday afternoon Captain Chitten- den, head keeper of the Teal and Cordelia Shooting Clubs, pounced down upon Lewis Pierce who was quietly wending his way through the Teal Club’s demesne in the direction of his own property. Chittenden, in his bluff way, ordered Pierce off the grounds and the latter answered the head keeper in a decidedly pert manner. The conversation ran thus: “What right have you, sir, to trespass upon this property?” demanded Chitten- den. “Don’t you know that thisis a pre- serve and that you are liable to arrest?” “Who are you, sir?” asked Pierce, and the question was put in such an em- phatic manner that “‘Cap” Chittenden almost sank into the deep and soggy mud up to his armpits. Chittenden *‘sized”” up his questioner, and after taking the latter’s measure, so to speak, replied with an air becoming that of an English landowner, “I am, sir, the chief keeé)er of the duck - shooting pre- | serves and have explicit orders to fire every poacher off those marshes.” Pierce could not help smiling, but when he asked the head keeper how he (Pierce) could possibly reach his own land without entering upon the Teal Club’s leased prop- erty the keeper was somewhat puzzled for an answer. Pierce is the owner of considerable prop- erty adjoining the territory that is under preserve rule and to reach it quickly he must scull the sloughs and especially the Frank Horn slough, which, as previously stated in THE OALL, is blockaded by the Teal-Cordelia Shooting clubs. When Pierce arrived at that part of the slough which is barricaded with spiles and a wire fence, he vacated his boat and re- lied upon shank’s mare to reach the ponds of his own progerty. which he proposed to shoot over. He encountered the head keeper on the journey over the marsh, and the latter, s already stated, threatened to arrest him unless he immediately va- cated the premises. The sportsmen of Suisun and vicinity have “‘taken sides’ with Pierce, and in ail probability the Teal and Cordelia people will be given an opportunity to explain before the courts why they should block- ade a slough or water course that leads nto other people’s property. The scow schooner, under command of Captain E. J. Bell. which left here on Sun- day morning for Espinosa, has not been heard from, and the friends of the sports- men who are on board are anxiously wait- ing some particulars. The schooner was expected to arrive at Espincsa last Monday, but nothing has been heard from her as yet, and it is pre- sumed that she has run upon a mud tat and is waiting a “spring’’ tide to float her If some intelligence doss not arrive to-day a searching party will be dispatched to hunt up her whereabouts. The yacht Rover, in charge of Commo- dore Bruce of the Pacific Yacht Club, left this City for Espinosa yesterday. Mr. Slater, who has traveled around the world f..asteam yacht, isat present located near Suisun, and the gentlemen on board of the yacht are having excellent duck shooting. POSTOFICES ON WHEELS, MAILS MAY S0ON BE CARRIED ON STREET RAILROAD CARS IN THIS CITY. THEY ARE Now UTILIZED IN MaNY EasTERN CITIES WITH GOOD REesuLTs. Postmaster McCoppin has been ponder- ing deeply of late over the plans and speci- fications of the new combination mail and passenger cars which he intends to put on the various street railroad systems of San Francisco as soon as the facilities for han- dling the mails collected are provided in the new ferry station. He has a number of designs under con- sideration, among them that of the Pull- ings, and Pintsch gas Jamps. The cars were designed after the patterns submitted by the postal authorities, simplicity of construction and use of all available space being desired. St S wa THE WRIT DENIED. Judge Seawell’s Decision in the Street- Paving Case. Judge Seawell filed his opinion yester- day in the certiorari proceeding of the Jor- dan Bituminous Rock and Paving Com- pany and James C. Jordan against the Board of Supervisors relative to the grant- ing of street-paving contracts without giv- ggb competing contractors an opportunity id. He decided that as the Auditor had not gassed on the claims under the order of the upervisors all other remedies had not been exhausted, and on that ground the writ was denied, SOCIETIES THAT BUILD, Annual Meeting of Associa- tions Which Loan Money to Home-Makers. Figures Show the Large Number of People in the State Interested. The California League of Mutual Build- ing and Loan Associations held its annual meeting in “assembly room,”” Mills build- ing, Tuesday afternoon, Frank Otis, prest- dent, in the chair. The president in his opening address stated that all building and loan associa- tions should belong to the State league for mutual aid and development. The league, organized in 1890, he said, had been favor- able to the growth and prosperity of all legitimate organizations, and all the asso- ciations in the State should join the league to lend their moral influence of an un- broken front in case it became necessary to put to rout some possible legislation detrimental to the interests. He then said: The State League has been instrumental in causing the passage of legislation which has affected building and loan associations. The Legislature which held iis session in the early part of this year passed a law amending the uilding and” Loan Commissioners’ act, en- larging the commissioners’ powers, and giving to them much needed additional cierical help. The expense of the commission, which is borne by the associations, will increased about 25 per éentum by this change. lemonstrate its wisdom. California hes so far enjoved the benefit of able and thorough State supervision, and it is to be sincerely hoped that this will continue. He expressed himself opposed to the introduction in the associations of the French system of snving% and various banking features, and after declaring that San Francisco ranks next to Philadelphia, which is the first of all the large cities in the world in having its population in dwellings owned by the occupants, he said: The building and loan association plan has the American home for its foundation. No one will gainsay but that the possession of a home creates & safer and a better citizen of its owner. A man’s interest in public affairs at once increases on acquiring & home. He is part and parcel of the country itself. He be- comes thrifty and economicaland rapidly adds to the aggregate National wealth and general prosperity of the country. Therefore let us by every influence within our power make the building association plan more influential and widespread in its results. Naught but good can come from so doing. Andrea Sbarboro of this City read an nteresting paper on the ‘‘Progress of Building and Loan Associations.” He said that these institutions generally sup- Eortcd and mam:fed by common people ave in the United States an accumulated capital of over $500,000,000, of which sum more than $100,000,000 are the net earnings on the invested capital. The membership numbers 1,000,000 males and 300,000 fe- males, and these have assisted over 500,000 members to procure homes on payments very little in excess of monthly rent. He continuea: Building and loan societies were first intro- duced in California about 1873. For a few vears only & small progress was made, but rom 1880 on & la; number of associations have been organized, and at the present time there are in this State 150 associations with an actual invested capital of over $21,000,000. It is also estimated that over £15,000,000 has slready been disbursed to the shareholders for metured stock and withdrawal shares, mlklns & total investmentof over $36,000,000 saves 1o the wage-earners, the greater part of which would have been squandered had it not been for the inducement furnished by these institu- tions. There are 40,000 members holding about 400,000 shares of stock. With the Time alone will assistance of these institutiens 20,000 homes | have been built in tnis State, principally by laborers and mechanics who would never have been able to accumulate sufficient to live under their own fig tree without the assistance of these associations. The largest number of building and loan societies are located in San Francisco and Oakland; but S8acramento, Los Angeles, San Jose, Stockton, Santa Rosa and many other towns in the State have their own building and loan society. Fremont Wood presented a paper show- ing the necessity of having some one to investigate all borrowers with a view to prevent speculation. A.

The seats in the pnnenge_r-can{ing part of the car run along its sides, leaving a center aisle and provide room for from ten to twelve persons. The postal compart- ment is provided with a large skylight and has two windows and a door with a win- dow in the upper part on each side, insur- ing plenty of light. Amgls provision is made for the comfort of the postal clerks. A drop-box for letters is provided on one side of the car. These cars resemble the regular passenger-cars externally, with the exception.that there is & platform and hood at one end only. The carrying of mail by the street-rail- road lines has become a matter of consid- erable importance in & number of the larger cities, notably in St. Louis, Boston, Chicago, Brooklyn, and is likely to prove icularly valuble in time of strikes. The sign, *‘U. 8. Mail,”” will insure passage fora car, when without 1t the probabilities are that no cars could be run. : The cars measure twenty feet over end anels, and are seven feet six inches wide. ghsy are arranged with 380 pigeon-holes, drawers, large tables for the sorting and handling of mails, ete. Doorsare provided on each side, placed diagonally opposite each other. There is a inail-bag rack at one end of the car accommodating eight mail-bags. The windows are protected wfith screens, to prevent any possibility of mail falling out of the car.

This evoked considerable discussion and an expression from several members that it would be unwise to pass any law in re- lation to that matter. Becretary Naylor gave it as his oginion that the abolition of “premiums” by sall societies would remove the cause of com- plaint about unjust distribution of earn- ings and profits. James L. Fielde read a paper on the ad- visability of abolishing the gross premium system, which he decfiu-ed would have to be done sooner or later. After the several papers had been dis- cussed the following-named officers were elected for the ensuing term: Frank Otis, gmu!dene; Albert Meyer, first vice-presi- ent; James L. Fields, second vice-presi- dent; C. O. King, third vice-president; Charles E. Naylor, secretary; B. Harris, treasurer; executive committee—M. L. Culver, T. I. Welsh; legislative commit- tee—H. L.

In answer to a question by a member, Secretary Naylor stated that the league has now forty one associations in good standing on 1ts roll, and that three others had announced an intention of withdraw- ing. The same member wished to know if the league intended to disband. The president stated he did not know of any such intention, and that it is the duty of the league to remain in existence.

MUNYON Insures San Francisco Against Disease, The Number of Sick People in This City Reduced One-Fifth in Less Than Seventeen Days by His Little Pellets. Hundreds at Work Who Six- teen Days Ago Were Una- ble to Earn a Dollar. Rheumatism and Catarrh Conquered by Munyon’s New Method of Treatment. Professor Munyon should receive the blessings of every man and woman in San Francisco for his generous gift of over 20,000 bottles of his remedies to suffering eople, said a well-known citizen yesterday. Ey so doing and permitting the press to publish results in each he at once showed to the public that they could obtain relief from their ills without spending any mors money experimenting. His honest method of doing business proved in two weeks that his cures were exactly as represented. The sick and af- flicted could purchase these cures with con- fidence, having seen the effect of their won- derful curative powers on some fellow-suf- ferer. Unlike others, Professor Munyon has put a price on his medicines which brings them within the reach of all. so that any invalid in San Francisco to-day can be cured at a cost not exceeding one visit from a physician. Fathers and mothers, with his “‘Guide to Health” and two or three dollars’ worth of Munyon’s cures in the house, feels insured against disease. Hundreds of men and women in our city are at work to-day earning bread for their little ones who two weeks ago, owing to some serious ailment, could not obtain em- ployment. Why should these people not speak in the highest praise of Munyon and every good citizen in San Francisco join them in lauding this new school of medi- cine, which has brought such happiness to their homes? A most convincing proof of the value of Munyon’s cures is this: Several drugEists report to his representatives that they have been informed by some doctors that if they continued to sell these remedies the physi- cians would send them no more presci tions. We wish to say to the pharmacists of San Francisco: Do not mind these threats. The most intelligent physicians, who desire to cure their patients, instead of fattening the pocket-book, will indorse n Tk I vecetyal sy nrencrlion which relieves suffering humanity, and the public will soon discover who the others are and place them where they belong. Munyon’s Remedies are what the people want, and any reputable druggist will sup- ply them. RHEUMATISM CURED. Munyon’s Rheumatism Cure is guaran- teed to cure rheumatism in any part of the body.
