Prominent Irishmen Present Mr. Ban- nerman With a Beautiful Testimonial. Mr. and Mrs. Thomas R. Bannerman celebrated their sllver wedding last even- ing in their residence, 716 Twentieth street. The event was made the occasion of an Francisco in honor of Mr. Bannerman, who has for years past been conspicuously identified with 1Irish affairs, with char- itable and benevolent societies and any movement tending toward the welfare of | his people. Soa large number of friends gathered and offered their congratulations. The handsome residence was decorated | beautifully and presented an inspiring | scene as the guests made merry around | Mr. and Mrs. Bannerman and their fam- | 0’Mahoney, Miss tNora Sullivan, Miss Julia Sutlivan, Mrs. K.

While in Dublin in 1867, Mr. Banner- man took part in a demonstration against the British Government. He was a mere youth, only 18 years of age, but the enemies of his country hunted him away from home and native land, and he was forced to seek a refuge in the United States. Re- turning to Dublin four years later, he mar- ried Miss Elizabeth = Kenny of that city. The young couple immedi- ately emigrated to America, where Mr. Bannerman embarked in business. He_ filled many offices of trust, one of which was secretary to Postmaster-Gen- eral James during Garfield’s administra- tion. Coming to California he was a post- office inspector.and later was connected with the firm of O’Connor, Moffatt & Co. He now holds an important posi- tion in the Hibernia Bank, and 1s a director of the Youths' Directory. PLUMS OF PATRONAGE. Governor Budd Passed a Busy Day in San Francisco. Governor Budd was in San Francisco nearly all yesterday. He attended a meet- ing of the Board of Regentsof the State University, paid a visit to the office of Attorney-General Fitzgerald, held a con- ference with the Code Commissioners and consulted with leading men of his party concerning appointments to the board of directors of the Agnews Asylum for the Insane. He went to Sacramento last even- ing, accompanied by Adjutant-General Barrett. During his sojourn in the City he bad a long interview with Colonel N. T. James, who was recently appointed a member of the board of trustees of the Home for the Adult Blind at Oakland. The subject which seemed to engross the most of the Governor's atiention was the filling of vacancies in the Agnews Asylum directory. The board now consists of V. Morehouse, John T. Porter, W. W. Montague, O. A. Hale and Isaac Upham. The directors are all Republicans. The outgoing members of the board are Morehouse, Porter and Montague. It is said that A. A. Watkins of the Democratic general committee is in favor of 'nm'mfi Mr. Montague retained on the board, an that considerable influence in that direc- tion has been exerted. It is believed that the Governot, before | leaving the City last evening, had about made up his mind to appoint Edward | White of Santa Cruz County, Frank H. Gould, chairman of the Democratic State Central Committee, and Dr. J. R. Curnow of San Jose. The programme may be changed to appoint L. A. Spitzger of Santa Clara County instead of Dr. Curnow. Quite a nnmber of local politicians of the Democratic faith called at the California Hotel last evening expecting to find the Govergor, and seemed greatly disappointed | to hear that he had returned to Sacra- mento. Governor Budd has named three new | directors for the Industrial Home for the | | Aduit Blind in OQakland. Two are Oak- landers, ex-Mayor John R. Glascock and T. C. Coogan, and the third Colonel James of San Francisco. The men displaced are | Directors N. W. Spaulding, George P. Mor- row and Fred A. Campbell. Directors John*P. Irish and F. A. Leach of the old board retain their places and are strong supporters of Superintendent Sanders and T. R. BANNERMAN. MRS. T. R. BANNERMAN. are already in entire control of more than half of the island, and are exercising the powers of government over that portion. “The revolution seems to be supported almost unanimously by the citizens of Cuba. They are struggling to establish their republican institutions to replace the monarchical Government of Spain. “They have been fighting heretofore at a tremendous disadvantage, because the Government of Spain has the right to pur- chase arms and ammunition of war, war vessels and everything necessary 1o carry on its side of the war in the ports of all countries of North and South America, while the Cubans who are fightiny for lib- erty are denied that privilege so long as they are refused recognition as belligerents. “I do not believe in rushing into un- necessary broils or wars with foreign na- tions for the purpose of extending our system of government to other countries, but I aon’t believe in placing obstacles in the way of people who, like the Cubans, with practi unanimity desire to estab- lish a republican form of Government. ‘When they have made a showing of their practical unanimity of sentiment and their ability, if allowed to fizht on equal terms, to carry their revolation to a successful issue, and have already established their own government over a substantial part of their territory, they shoula be recognized as belligerents and given a fair and even chance in the struggle. Tt seems to me that the Cuban revolutionists have reached that position. ‘‘But the State Department, of course, is more fully advised concerning the politi- cal situation in Cuba than we can be, and I am satisfied that no unreasonable or unjust hostility to the Cuban revolution- ists is to be feared in that quarter.” COLONEL GEORGE XKNIGHT.

A great many silver mementos were | presented to the couple, among them be- ing a richly engraved testimonial inclosed in a silver frame and accompanied with an exquisite silver ser, the eift of leading Irishmen here. The testimonial read as follows: Dear Mr. Bannerman: It is with sentiments of esieem and affection we offer our heartfelt congratulations to you and your estimabie spouse ow the occasion of your silver wedding.

The Fall Exhibition of the Stu- dents at the Mark Hopkins Institute. Many Famous Productions in the Loan Display, and Attractive Work by the Students. Much preparation is being made for the exhibition of paintings at the Mark Hop- kins Institute to-morrow, when the rooms will be open to members only. On No- vember 15 the people will be generally ad- mitted. A great deal of work is involved in the preparation for the exhibition, and those engaged in that matter have little time now to spare to casual visitors. In the main hall is exhibited a splendid array of paintings that have been loaned, some of them being of immense value. For example, there were a pair of Mu- rillos that cost $25,000. But along with them were a large number of most at- tractive exhibits, very effectively dis- played, that shone in ‘the reflected light of works that have commanded the ad- miration of the world. Mr. Martin, who has charge of the arrangement of the paintings, has displayed much judgment in his arrangement of what he classifies as the “foreign exhibit.” In another room are forty paintings contributed by the members of the insti- tute. Each of those who have paid for their course of study is entitled to a chance in a drawing for these paintings. The list of these works has not yet been completed, and the namesof the artists, together with their subjects, were not given out. A great deal of interest is being taken in this exhibition because of the lively rivalry manifested by the students in the preparations for the display. - I W.

HUNTINGTON Captain Merry Sees It ina Nicaragua Canal At- tack. THINKS IT SUBSIDIZED. Why Did Nimmo of the Bureau of Statistics Pen His Pamphlet? HIS “WEARK EFFORT” ANSWERED A Local Champion of the Interocean Shipway Demolishes Some Coun- ter Arguments. ““While 1 cannot say to an absolute cer- tainty that C. P. Huntington paid for this work,” said Captain W. L. Merry, referring to the pamphlet just being circulated, and written by Joseph Nimmo Jr., ex-Chief of the United States Bureau of Statistics, the latest attack on the Nicaragua canal, “‘the logic of the situation appears to distinctly point to him. In the first place, Nimmo has no personal interest in the canal, and be must have been paid for his trouble by some person or persons whose interests might be affected by it. There appears to be no doubt that Mr. Huntington was re- sponsible for the defeat of what is called the Morgan canal bill, after its passage in the Senate, and after a majority of the members of the House had requested by petition that the House committee submit the bill to the House for consideration. This action of the committee was against all precedent. Then, too, in this amphlet, Mr. Nimmo acknowledges his *deep sense of obligation to A. N. Towne, late vice- president and general manager of the Southern Pacific Company,’ for ‘highly appreciated courtesies * * * gener. ously extended to me during the last fif- teen years, both in my capacity as Gov- ernment officer and as private citizen.’ “This,” continued Captain Merry, “‘taken in connection with the fact that Mr. Huntington has uniformly opposed the canal project, is very suggestive; and vet the Nimmo pamphlet addressed to the Nicaragua canal board’ issuch an exceed- ingly weak effort that itis a wonder even the enemies of the canal would use itasa weapon. “I have been requested by my co-trustees of the San Francisco Chamber of Com- merce to undertake the easy but disagree- able task of exposing Mr. Nimmo's falla- cious arguments.’’ The answer of Captain Merry is as fol- mmo's main contention is that there w comparatively no tonnage to use the Nicaragua canal, and to prove this he pub- lished a mass of statistics worthless in this In 1880 Count de Lesseps an- nounced that he could depend on 5,500,000 to In the early part Francisco appointed five merchants on its interoceanic canal committee, and in their re- port they state that a careful investigation placed the tonuage available at 5,250,000 tons, | but desiring to be conservative they based all calculations on 5,000,000 tons per annum. Mr. Nimmo starts with the erroneous assump- tion that the canal cannot divert any overland railway traffic. Ifso, why is he engaged in proving its worthlessness? Why does he quote the year 1890 to prove how little freight was passing over the Panama Railway, when the world knows that at that time the Trauscontinental Assoclation of overland railways was paying the Pacific Mail Steamship Company and the Panama Railroad Company $75,000 per annum for the privilege of restricting its traflic between the east and west coasts cf the United States to 1200 tons per month, and this tonnage at the high rates fixed by the railroads? And at the same tims even the clipper lines around Cape Horn were under railway control, and charging rates of freight fixed by arrangement wiih the Trans- continental Association. Why also does Mr. Nimmo then quote the year 1893 to prove how cheaply the railroads were carrying freight, when Tie must know that during’ the year the North American Navigation Company (of which I was president) was carrying {freight in con- nection with the Panama Railroad Company at ratesso low that the company lost § per month with twenty day depertures, and saved the merchants and producers of the coast about 5,000,000 on the reduced rate of freight applicable to the greatly increased ton- nage moving by land and sea betwees. men east and west coas Why does Nimmo in his comparison of railway with ocean freights use values as a comparison proper to be made? No one dis- putes that railways will always control the greater part of the transportation of specie, passengers and very high price merchandise, but it is upon ocean carriage that we must de- vend for the cheap transportation of our bulky products which no railroad can handle across the continent in competition therewith, Mr. Nimmo’s remarks about the cost of the canal will be found as unreliable ns his statis- ties. He very well knows that Chief Engineer Menocal’s estimate of net cost is $65,084,176, and this estimate is made at prices 300 40 per cent higher than it is costing to construct the Chicago drainage canal. Why, then,does he place the cost at $252,000,000 except to de- ceive? The mercantile estimate of cost has al- ways been placed by experts at £100,000,000 xrz_ d the earnings have been calculated on this igure. On page 10 Mr. Nimmo quotes Maury’e cele- brated remark regarding B Atnslbrans Bay of Panama and its approaches, making it ap- plicable to Nicaragua, whereas the remark it- self specifies “the Panama or Darien isthmus,” and areference to Maury’s “Physical Geography of the Sea” or Maury’s “Sailing Directions’ will prove that it does not even apply to the Atlantic terminus of the attempted Panama canal, much less to the either terminus of the Nicaragua canal, which is situated in_ latitude 11 deg. north, hundreds of miles north of Pan- ama Bay, and, as Mr. Nimmo well knows, out of reg of tropical celms. That the Nica- ragua canal is available for sailing ships there can be no doubt; how successiully they can compete through it with the modern triplicate engine screw cargo steamship is a question which the demand for tonnage will solve. Captain Merry then demolishes a num- ber of the subordinate arguments of Mr. Nimmo and relates some of his experience as a deep-sea navigator, his eleven trips around Cnre Horn and his intimate knowl- edge of all the features of the Nicaragna route. He concludee his analysis of Mr. Nimmo's arguments as follows: I will not discuss the political and military aspects of the Nicaragua canal with Mr. Nimmo, as there are many able men who do not need our opinions in aiding their conclu- sions. It is not in the mouth of Mr. Nimmo to contest the opinions of the most able men our country has produced in regard to its military value to the United States and its bearing on the Monroe doctrine. 1f Nimmo is right, a longline of American Presidents and states- men are in error, and it i3 of no consequence to our country that the ecanal is controlled by our opponents, as Mr. Nimmo appears to think, I might go on pointing out other absurdities in this pampblet, but “cui bono.” One conclud- ing idea suggests itself: Who paid Mr. Nimmo for, prepnrul)i{snd the printer for printing this pamphiet? He can do the public a service by once “walking in the light of truth” and giv- ing an honest reply to the question. I don’t answer this pamphlet,” con- tinued Captain Merry, *‘because I think it will in anywise intérfere with the con- struction of the canal, but because an answer to this effusion appears to be called for, not by reason of the force of the arguments advanced, but because of the supposed prominence of the author. Iam astonished that Mr. Nimmo should have written such an article.” UNIFORMED SWEEPERS, They “Kicked” Agninst Wearing Num- bers on the Regulation Jacket. Some time ago the executive officers of the Merchants’ Association decided that the men who were employed in cleaning the streets should wear uniforms. On last Friday the street force appeared in brown jean jackets and caps of like material. ach man wore on the left breast of his jacket a patch of white muslin on_which was printed a number over an inch in |lenctn. This was to serve the purpose of numbers worn by conducters and grip and motor men, to give citizens an op- }xortunity to designate a man in case cause or complaint should arise. 5 The men did not object to the uniform jackets, nor to the caps, but they did ob- ject to the number on the ground that it made them look like numbered convicts ut to work on the streets. They, in the anguage of the day, ‘‘kicked’’ against the number, and it was effective, for the men appeared yesterday without the odious number ontheir jackets, but instead wore on the front of the cap a metal badge on which is stamped the number that is op- posite the wearer’s name on the con- tractor's time sheets. NOLAN'S NEW SHOE HOUSE. He Holds a Pleasant Public Reception at 1022 Market Street. The opening of W. H. Nolan’s new shoe- store at 1022-24 Market street yesterday was a grand success, for during the day and evening hundreds of people visited the place of business. The visitors were de- lighted with the appearance of the spacious store and its elezant appointments. There were none of the old-fashioned leather-covered benches to be seen, hand- some oak chairs taking their places. The manager, John A. Kennedy, spared neither pains nor money in decorating the store. Among the goods in the show- windows were choice potted plants and vines and bouquets, and it was ditlicult to tell which the public admired the most, the flowers or the stock. Inside, the columns that support the ceil- ing, the woodwork along the walls and the showeases were festooned with smilax and ornamented with flowers. While the pub- lic was in possession of the store inspect- ing Mr. Nelan’s modern emporicm a string orchestra was discoursing popular music. During the hours of the reception Mr. Nolan’s large force of clerks gave away several thousand souvenirs in the shape of artificial flowers attached tc card- board. Mr. Nolan employs over 200 men in his manufacturing, wholesale and retail departments, and he vpatronizes white labor only. A WIFE'S COMPLAINT. Grows Weary of Matrimonial Bonds and Seeks Legal Redress—Attorney Quitzow Refuses to Talk. Emma J. Champion, a wife of less than =ix months, is suing for annulment of her rriage to Joseph F. Champion. The papers in fhe case were filed yesterday. It appears, according to the complaint, that the marriage ceremony was performed in Februsry last, at which time the plaintiff was not of legal age. As soon as she reached the age of 18, which was May 12 last, she left her husband, and has since refused to live with or acknowled:e him as her legal spouse. The marriage cere- mony tying the plaintiff to Champion was celebrated in Jackson, Amador County Attorney Quitzow, as the legal repres tative of Mrs. Champion, refuses to talk apout the matter further than to say that when the case comes for_trial something of interest will probably develop. Woman’s Realm. MAKE THE HOME A BLESSING. The Love of Children is Innate in the Heart of every True Man and Woman. All that is beautiful and lovely in wo- man, finds its climax in motherhood. How often we find among our American women that longing for the prattling | voice, the idol of their waiting hearts. It is a natural instinct, this yearning of the heart for offspring; yet the wife hesi- tates to talk with the family physician on this delicate subject. A good way to do is to send for a medical book on ‘“Woman and Her Diseases,”” (168 pages) sent, sealed in a plain envelope, on receipt of 10 cents in stamps, for postage, if you address the World’s Dispensary Medical Association, Buffalo, N. Y. The reflections of a married woman are not pleasant if she be delicate, run- down, or debilitated. She feels ‘‘ played out.” Her smile and her good spirits have taken flight. It worries her hus- band as well as herself, This is the time to build up her strength and cure those weaknesses or ailments which gre the cause of her trouble. Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescrip- tion regulates and promotes all the pro- r functions of womanhood, improves igestion, enriches the blood, dispels aches and pains, melancholy and nerv- ousness, brings refreshing sleep, and re- stores perfect health and strength. It'sa safe remedial agent, an invigor- ating tonic and nervine which cures all those disorders, weaknesses and derange- ments incident to womanhood.
