LOS ANGEL San Franciscan, who in days gone by | marched with the Dirigo Club there and | hurrahed for Republican candidates, is re- sponsible for the existence of the Jonathan | Club in this city. On April 28, 1804, in | response to invitations sent out by Charles | Deering a meeting was held in the parlors | of the Hollenbeck Hotel for the purpose of forming a Republican club to assist in the gubernatorial campaign and take a leading part in future political battles. | The membership was limited to 100, but | Jong before the charter list had been closed | it was found necessary to increase the | limit.

Bushnell, vice-president ; secretary; Charles W. White, treasurer. The club is entirely out of debt, and, in the vernacular, “-has money to burn.” There is no ctub in Los Angeles that shows such a remarkably healthy growth as the Los Angeles Athletic Club. The Stowell block, now occupied, were secured |in November, 1889, and in it they took rank as the leading athletic organization of Bonthern California. Notwithstanding the fact that the club was fully equipped with every convenience 1d appliaice necessary to the well-being the modern athletic 1nstitution, the first | of this year found it cramped for room, and negotiations were opened with H. P. son to put up a building adapted | especially for the uses of the club. | The building is now under way, and it is expected that by December 1 of the pres- ent year it will be ready for occupancy. | The dimensions of the new building are 60 by 157 feet. The front portion 1s three | stories in height, which is increased to four stories, forty feet from the street line. The style of the structure is Renaissance, | the materials entering its construction lavish manner with patriotic emblems and furnishing them throughout beautifull During the campaign “Jonathan, Jona- than, Rah-rah-rah!” was the slogan to which almost every Republican ‘in «the county answered. The parades were made picturesque by the 200 men turned out by the club in slmost every procession that occurred in ‘the county. After the campaign ended it was decided to make the club a social one, and the Saturday evening gatherings were some of the most brilliant affairs in club life ever held here. Notwithstanding this fact, many mem- bers who had joined for political purposes only allowed their membership to lapse or | | COLONEL OHARLES BENTZONI, U. 8.

The tuilding which will be occupied is now known as the Corfu Hotel and is one of the handsomest stone structures on | board of officers: J. B. Lankershim, presi- dent; F. H. Gibson, vice-president; Spence, secretary, and H. L. MacNeil, treasurer. On October 1 it moved into Stearns Hall, which consisted of two un- furnished rooms, situated on the corner of Arcadia and Los Angeles streets. Later on & change was found both desir- able and necessary, and on January 1 1882, the club moved into the Downey block, where more space and facilities were secured. On Admission day of that“year, the | first field day was held, and outdoor ama- teur sports were contested for the first time in Southern California. The growth of the club continuing, the quarters in the | being steel, iron, graniteand pressed brick, with terra cotta trimmings. The front | contains two balconies, one of which isto be used for a band stand and is large enough to comfortably seat twenty-four musicians. A broad staircase, under which will be a bicycle rack capable of accommodating 150 wheels, leads to the second tloor, land- | ing in a wide hall running the full length | of the building, on which will cpen the parlors, rdrooms, reception-room, the secretar; oflice, bowling all billiard- | room, cloakroom, locker-room and direc ors’ meeting-room. The reading parlo: of which there are two, one 30 by 43 feet and the other 14 by 30 feet, are connected by folding-doors, so that at any time that it is found necessary to do so they can be thrown into one large room. The billiard-room will contain seven tables and a cigar-stand, and is 23 by 91 feet in dimensions. The bowling alleys will | be without doubt the finest in the State in their construction, and will be 65 feet long with an approach of 15 feet. Three hun- dred lockers will be provided in the locker-room, and sufficient space will be provided for as many more to be put in as soon as demanded. here are to be three bathrooms, a rub- bing-room, heating-room and eight shower baths, all immediately accessible from the locker-room. All the bathrooms will be wainscoated with marble and the parti- tions will be of the same materlal. The third floor is t@ be reached from both the front and redr of the building, and the principal feature will be the im- | mense gymnasium, twenty-five feet high, with a floor area of 58 by 100 feet. Thue | fourth floor will contam a “gallery around | the gymnasium, a running track, twenty aps to the mile, and a handball court, | forty feet long by twenty-five feet high. The roof is to be composed of giass and | steel, affording perfect light throughout | the day, and reflecting at night the many | arc and mc.mdu:scam?umps that will shine | at night. | Space is to be provided on the fourth floor for ten large rooms, which will be | rented out for bachelor quarters. i The furnishing of the building will be done on a most elaborate scale, and the ap- | paratus in the gymnasium wili be as com- plete as any on the coast. The officers of the club for this year are: John E. Brink, president; Charles Lindell, dent; Walter McStay, secretary; ‘ len, treasurer. Besides the build- ing, which will cost in the neighborhood of 50,000, | bavingone of the fastest quarter-mile tracks |on the coast, and fully equipped with | grand stand, bleachers, “‘kindergarten,” | shower baths and dressing-rooms. The most unique organization on the | coast is the Drei Stein Club. Here it is that Bohemia e in all her primeval | beauty—where social distinctions are ob- iterated, where there are none but good- | fellows, whose only distinguishing mark is the talent they po: s and the genius | they display. A single room over the Farmers’ and Merchants’ Bank is their retreat. Hard- wood arm-chairs, kitchen tables, lockers for the members, a gas stove, cooking utensils, a platform and a piano are the only furnishings. | Over each locker, by way of ornament, | the individual stein of the member 13 placed, while around the walls are paint- | Ings and pictures commemorative of some of the “meditations’’ that ha been held. The club was oflicially organized Febrn- ary 23 of the present year. The officers holding sway are_Charles Bentzoni, pres dent, and John P. Jackson Jr, secretary and treasurer. The membership numbers nineteen and it is being increased, though slowly. According to the rules of the club no one can be elected unless he receives the unan- | imous vote of the members of the club, hence he must not only be gifted, but must be popular as well to join this much sought organization. No bills are allowed to be contracted with the club by members. Iach one is rovided with a locker in which he stows his drinks and edibles, No treating is al- lowed, and every member cooks his own meal. Once a month a “meditation” is held, the presiding officer of which is known as the “Great Hyankedank.”” The costume worn by the members is similar to the gown and cowl of the Franciscan friars, and as a general thing these solemn occasions conform to the motto of the ctub, which is “Our future is behind us.” At a recent meditation the “Building of the Ark’ was the subject, and it was proved to the satisfaction of every one present that the ‘‘Steiners” were respon- sible for that creation, and Noah stole the credit for it. The history of the building, loadig and voyage of the ark, as told by the Drei-Stemers, is one of the most unique creations ever contributed to club litera- ture, The remarkable features of the club by- laws are that no member is asked to join the club until after he is elected. Wealth is an impediment to membership, and notoriety of every kind is frowned upon. Music, literature and art are the three | duties which preside with Bacchus as an intermediary. Bacchus in this club isa f very moderate and jolly fellow, excessive | drinking being looked upon as a cardinal sin and a bar to membership. The Eleanor at Santa Barbara.

The Pioneer Capitalist Left Her to the Tender Care of His Friend. SOUGHT FOR BURIED TREASURE. Sons of the Deceased Husband Denied the Privilege of Digging the Earth. SAN JOSE, Car., Nov. 6.—William Vin- ter and Mrs. Dora Frost, the widow of the late Elezer Frost, were quietly married here last Friday. There had been a num- ber of sensational developments imme- diately following the death of Frost, and William Vinter, his old-time friend, and the widew were anxious not tc excite any public comment or notoriety by a public announcement of the wedding, so it was conducted privately. The marriage was brought about by an implied reguest of Elezer Frost on his deathbed. Immediately after the death Vinter gave it out that his friend had asked him to take good care of his widow, and he stood guard over her affairs during the bitter antagonism of a number of the heirs. Mr. Vinter was a widower, and has a son older than his bride. She has three children, the oldest being about 12 years of age. Snhe and the eidest daughter of her deceased husband, Mrs. Wissman, are executrices of his will. The property is valued at about $100,000, After the death of the pioneer capitalist, Erwin Frost, a son, and some of his allies wished to dig on the homestead for treasure to the amount of $40,000 that they imagined was buried there, but William Vinter prevented any excavation from going on at the place. e SUIT FOE DAMAGES. John Hanrahan Fell Into a Trench and Was Shocked. SAN JOSE, Carn., Nov. 6.—The trial of the damage suitof John Hanrahan against John Christian was bsgun in the Superior Court here to-day. Damages are demanded for injuries sustained by the plaintiff by falling into a trench that was dug by Christian while he was engaged in laving sewers in Los Gatos for the Town Board. It is charged that the ditch was left open and unmarked with lights on the night of January 25 last,and Hanrahan drove into the ditch with a horse and buggy. He sustamed injuries 1n bodily hurts, a mental shock and soiled clothing. FAILED IN BUSINESS. A San Jose Druggist Filed a Petition in Insolvency. SAN JOSE, CaL., Nov. 6.—C. E. Chase, a North First-street druggist in this city, to-day filed a petition in insolvency. The failure is ascribed to general business and financial depression and bad debts. The liabilities are placed at $4416, due in San Jose, San Francisco and various parts of the East. The assets consisi of a stock of drugs and fixtures valued at $2000 and a few accounts that are deemed almost valueless. b ey ON TRIAL FOR EMBEZZLEMENT. C. W. Sebern Spent Three Hundred Dol- lars at Gambling. SAN BERNARDINO, Car., Nov. 8.—The case of O. W. Sebern, charged with em- bezzlement, was commenced to-day in the Superior Court. Sebern was the manager of the Sunset Telephone and Telegraph Company for this city, Redlands and Riverside. He is charged with spending $300 of the comvany’s money at the gambling table, having been led on his course by ‘“cappers’ from the various poker dens in this city. Seeing he was short he went to Los An- geles and confessed his defulcation to the general manager, and expressed his will- ingness to work out as a lineman to make the amount good. A special agent named Mattock came to San Bernardino and went over the books with Sebern and found that he also raised the bills of county officers, pocketing the differehce. Mattock has greatly injured his case and turned public opinion in Sebern’s favor by his efforts to get the bondsmen to have Sebern jailed, claiming that he would run away. He told some things which did not suit Sebern’s bondsmen, and they declared themselves ready to stand by the young man and see that he was given a chance. Sebern tendered the county back the money secured on the raised bills, but the District Attorney advised the Auditor not to accept it. Friends have interceded and have secured Sebern the position of chief clerk in the Grand Central Hotel of this city. Jie has borne an excellent re putation here tofore, and while manager of the tele- phone company he doubled their patron- age in this city alone by his courteous dealings. His attorneys will make a hard fight for his acquittal.” Sebern is attended in court by his voung wife, though she is in ill health. —_— RACE ACROSS THE PACIFIC. German Ship Bertha and Hawaiian Bark Mauna Ala to Contest. TACOMA, WasH., Nov. 6.—The German ship Bertna and the Hawaiian bark Mauna Ala, both now loading lumber at the old Tacoma mill, will make a long distance race across the Pacific Ocean from Tacoma to Adelaide, N. S. W. The Mauna Ala is to be given a handicap of five days. The vessels will not sail at the same time, but the race will be decided according to-the time required to make the voyage. It is expected the Mauna Ala will get to sea to-mqrrow. The Bertha will not sail for two weeks. The bark is 818 tons bur- den and the ship 1633 tons. Both vessels will carry cargoes of lumber. The Berthafims a record as a fast-sailing ship. She made the yoyage from her home port, Hamburg, to San Francisco in 123 days, the fastest time over that route this year. Last vear she beat the time of forty- eight other ships from Rio Janeiro to Burmah, and on her vovage home from that place made the quickest passage out of fifty-nine sailing from the East Indies for Europe at that time. Company F Goes to Chico. CHICO, CaL., Nov. 6.—Colonel Henshaw received a dispatch from Adjutant-General A. W. Barrett at Sacramento to-day say- ing: *“The board of location has approved the change of neld’gu;lrteu of Company F, Eighth Infantry, Third Brigade, N. G. C., from Oroville to Chico.” Eme gt s Lumber for South Africa. VANCOUVER, B. C., Nov. 6.—The second largest consignment of lumber ever shipped from this province is ahout to be sent from the Hastings mill to the South Afr can gold fields. The cargo wilt be car- ried by a large Norwegian bark and will consist of 2,000,000 feet of lumber. Rk Spar for an English Yacht. VANCOUVER, B. C., Nov. 6.—The Hast- ings mill is shipping for England by the Norwegian bark Prince Louis a mammoth spar for a crack English racing yacht, which may possibly yet retrieve the lost laurels of the Britons. The name of the yacht has been kept secret, but it must be one of large dimensions since the spar measures 120 feet in length, 28 inches in circnmference at the shorter end and 26 at the longer. The spar is one of the most erfect pieces of ship timber ever exported rom British Columgia B STANFORD’S COACH DISCOURAGED. Camp Says He Was Not Pleased With the Play of His Men Against the Olympics. STANFORD UNIVERSITY, CarL., Nov. 6.—The report in one of the San Francisco papers that Camp was well pleased with the game played by Stanford yesterday against the Olympics was entirely errone- ous. In speaking of the matter to a CaLL representative to-day, Camp said: “The game played by Stanford wasany- thing but encouraging. The Olympics simply ran our men down the field as though they had been placed on rollers. Stanford players seemed to have no fire or force in them, and allowed the athletic club’s team to hold them up in a disgrace- ful manner. With the weight of Stan- ford’s players, especially in the line, and their strength, it seems ridiculous that the team should prove so weak. Until I geta line that is stiff and does rot break at every buck of an opponent’s line, I cannot teach the men more advanced plays. The backs get discouraged when tne line which should protect them is so limber that it can be forced back at every play.”’ Camp was very earnest in his remarks concerning the lack of interest shown in the game here at present, and said further: ““Unless we can get thirty men out here for regular daily practice at 4:30 and they agree to work hard to win Berkeley will have a walkover on Thanksgiving. Some way or other I can’t seem to impress this on the minds of the players, but 1t is abso- lutely true.” At the present time the men are slow in getting out, and lately there have been less than twenty men on hand for practice in the evening. Camp spends his time reading in his cozy quarters and in writing for a number of Eastern publications. He is the first man on the field each eyen- ing, and generally waits from 4 o’clock until nearly 5 before a sufficient number of men appear so that signal practice can be- gin. From 5 until nearly 6 o'clock the two elevens are pitted against each other. QOamyp directs the movements of the men and takes a deep interest in the progress of each man. Why the players should ap- pear so apathetic with such a trainer is a question. The second «leven will probably be given a trip in the near future. Camp advises that the players be given the change and a chance to practice against outside players, and it is provable that the management will arrange such a trip. THERE IS LIGHT AHEAD, Our Prospects for the Con- vention Are Steadily Im- proving, CALIFORNIANS MEET IN BOSTON. The Committees Will Soon Be Or- ganized and the Substantial Work Will Begin. To-day at 3 o’clock the finance commit- tee appointed for the purpose of securing funds for bringing the convention to this City will meet 1n room 100 of the Chronicle building and prepare & method of pro- cedure. Ways and means will be devised for se- curing the required amount, and collec- tions will begin at once. The first thing to determine is whether or not a sufficient sum can be pledged by the merchants and professional men of this City and State to make an offer commensurate with the needs of the delegates. The committee will begin this work with the additional advantage of being backed by a voluntary subscription of over $75,000, which has al- ready been guaranteed. g Senator Williams and his associates have: the greatest faith in the prospect of the & convention coming to California, and there never was a time so ripe for a magnani- mous act on the part of the Republican party as now. This fact alone inspires the belief among the leaders of the movement that we have a better show of coming out ahead in this case than any other city in the Union at present aspiring for the ap- proval of the National Committee, The Eastern press concedes that we are doing the most substantial Tk of any section of the country, and our back- ing, which comes from all over the State, is an indication of the desire of the West as a whole as well as the hope of one city. To-morrow the executive committee will organize, and also the committee on trans- portation. Following these organizations the committee of 100 will hold a meeting a week from to-day, and will then be ready to co-operate with the other commattees. Already the riembers of the transporta- tion committee are operating as far as it is vossible. General Agent D. W. Hitchcock of the Union Pacific received the following tele- gram yesterday: The Union Pacific will join the other trans- continental roads in making a $50 rate from Chicago to San Francisco and return for vis- itors to the National Convention, J.

BOSTON, Mass.,, Nov. 6.—The Music Hall was crowded to-night with a large and enthusiastic gathering of Californians residing in the East, the meeting having been called by the California Club to boom the claim of San Francisco for the Repub- lican convention. The meeting was the outgrowth of the annual dinner, which was held last week, at which a large number of prominent politicians from all over the East were present. The meeting to-night was en- tirely informal, lnri was more in the na- e of a social gathering than an organ- it:erd coniennee.‘ananielou, the cfl‘x‘ins of the Golden Gate were ;pushed forward with a will and spirit. The meeting was presided over by H. B. Ritchie, snd nearly 100 Californians were present, while the number of guests was nearly as large. The principal speaker was Governor Greenhalge, who was yes- terday re-elected to the governorship of the State. Governor Greenhalge made a short speech in which he congratulated San Francisco for her efforts, and in clos- ing expressed the hope that she would secure the honor. He refused, however, to commit himseff further than he has stated before, that his sympathies were with San Francisco, and if he saw that it would be of benefit to the party he would surely use his efforts to have the conven- tion go there. Mr. Ritchie made an address in which he spoke of the good work which was be- ing carried on on the other side of the country, and expressed the desire that all Californians, irrespective of party, would do all in their power to boom San Fran- cisco in the East. Among the prominent guests present were: Governor Greenhalge of Massachusetts, Governor Busiel of New Hampshire, Representatives H. H. At- wood, Barrett and Springer. —_— THE LADIES TAKE A HAND. Five Hundred Dollars Pledged for the Convention by the Republican Women. The Woman’s Republican State Central Club held & very enthusiastic meeting last evening in the Marye buiiding. Mrs. Ad- die G. Ballou, the president, explained to the members the great desirability of bringing the National Convention to San Francisco, and the ladies pledged them- selves to raise §500 toward that object. _Mrs. Ballou read a letter to the execu- tive committee of the Republican party guaranteeing the cordial ana hearty sup- port of the Woman’s Republican State Central Club in all efforts made by the party to secure the National Conveuntion, | The meeting closed with a hearty and unanimous vote of thanks to the president | for the able discharge of her fatiguing du- | ties during the past year. During the evening it was announced that already one member of the club, Mrs. J. Owens, first vice-president, had secured ro(xlnises of $250 toward the convention und. ——— PLENTY OF APPROVAL. The State Press 1s Hopeful of San Fran- cisco’s Success. The San Francisco CALL, one of the leading papers of the Pacific Coast, is making vigorous efforts to induce the next Republicau National Convention to meetin that City. Those efforts ought to succeed, and whether successful or | not, San Francisco will not forget the gallant | fight of THE CALL for the convention.

The Sen Francisco CALL,and other city pa- pers, are working hard to bring the National Republican Convention to that City.

So far over $75,000 hasbeen pledged, | and the 100,000 mark will be reached ine few days. The State at large should lend sub- stantial assistance to the enterprise, es the convention would be of inestimable value to the entire Pacific Coast. A subscription paper should be started in this county and should be liberally subscribed to. Many of the delegates have influence in Congress, either by holding a seat therein, or by influence upon members of that body,and the miners would have a chance, should the convention come, to lay their cause before them with prospects of ma- | terial result.
