THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SATURDAY, APRIL 11, 1896. e e e ————————————————————————————————y WHERE VOTES WILL FALL Republican County Committee- men Select Primary Polling- Places. AMENDMENTS TO THE CALL. The Appointment of Election Officers Is Deferred Until Next Mon- day Night. ‘The Republican county committeemen selected last evening the thirty-sixipolling- places at which the delegates to the State Conventlon wilt be voted for at the regular Republican primary next Wednesday. All the eighteen members of the com- | mittee were on hand at the crowded Re- publican headquarters at 850 Market street and the members representing the Fourth and Fifth districts formed separate bodies for the transaction of business. As the business was that of arranging details the committees held executive meetings in private rooms. The division of the various Assembly districts into two polling districts each, the fixing of polling places and the adop- tion of slight amendments to the election eall adopted a8 week ago constituted the work accomplished. The list of polling- places and the precincts comprising the polling districts will be found in the offi cial call, published entire in another col- umn of this paper. Most of the county committeemen filed their nominations for election officers, but election officers will not be officially named until next Monday evening. ommitiees declded that the hours fixed at from 9 A.M.t0 7P M. ecessarily long and the =all was amended by providing that the polls should be open frem 1to 7 P. M. Another amendment makes it necessary that nomi- nations for delegates to be voted for be fited with the secretary of the proper com- mittee on or before noon of -next Monday to receive recognition. The polling-places named by the county committcemen. were in nearly every in- stance approved after careful consider: tion of the surroundings and the conven- ience of the places named. The divi of the Assembly districts ‘into polling dis- tricts wa kewise carefully considered with reference to an equal division of the voting strength and the convenience of the residents. There was eantire harmony in both committees as to the action taken and all interests were given fair consider- ation, as they will be in the selection of election officers. E The committees will meet again next Monday evening at Bepublican headquar- ters to appoint election officers and com- plete the details of primary arrange- ments Republicans throughout the City are takin: a lively interest in the coming pri- mary and in most of = | | the comic papers, though these are the first brought to this coast. A number of griffons, a species of retriever seldom seen here, will also he exhibited. Arrangements have been made to set apart an afternoon for each of the orphan asylums, when the inmates will be ad- mitted. free. Besides the exhibition the committee have in view a number of spe- cial attractions the nature of which they are not yet prepared to divulge. FILTHY BREAD BAKERIES, Labor Bureau Inspectors Unearth a Wretched State of Affairs. A disgusting state of things is being Tevealed by the inspection of bake-sbops now 1n progress under the auspices of the State Bureau of Labor Statistics. The special inspectors found one shop at North Beach under a sidewalk where there was a toilet room with very bad drainage. The darkness, damp and stench were reported to be very bad. In another shop, south of Market street, the sewers were found to have rotted, and the board floor floated upon a mass of liquid fiith, which oozed up through the cracks under the slightest pressure. Cockroaches were found to abound in many of the underground places, and in almost all_there was evident need of whitewash. The knendinfi troughs, tables and ovens were discovered to be very fiithy in many or the shops. : The news of the inspection is traveling about among the pastry cooks, and in a number of the shops the inspectors found that preparations bad been made for their reception, the smeil of fresh suds and chloride of lime being strongly percep- tible. Many of the workmen were found very poorly housed and wretchedly paid. The Bakers’ and Pastry Cooks’ Union will, it is understood, soon take measures to ameliorate the condition of the employes in the shops. COLUMEI AVER SILMON Revival of 0ld Conflicts Between Washington and Oregon. Danger That the Present Conditicn of Things May Cause Trouble in the Market. the districts tickets | { Things on the Columbia River, accord- ing to recent advices, commence to look stormy. The old quarrel between Oregon and Washington regardinz the mode of fishing in the river is developing adai- tional bittérness, while, to cap the climax, a grand strike among the salmon-fishers reported. *‘This strike is-likely to prove serious,” remarked Chief Deputy Fish Commis- sioner Babcook yesterday. ‘‘It appears that the fishermen have decided not to work or permit others to fish in any por- tion of the river unless the canneries guar- antee the payment of 5 cents for every vound of salmon bought by them.

George Gould, August Bzlmont, Her. man Oelrichs and Other Prominent Fanciers to Make Entries. The Pacific Kennel Club is preparing for what its president, H. Bier, confidently asserts will be by far the biggest beuch show ever held on this coast. He calcu- lates that over 500 dogs will be exhibited, and entries are already commencing to ar- rive at the office of the bench show com- mittee at 628 Market street, though the in- tending exhibitors have until April 28 to make their entries. The show is dated for May 8, 9and 10. For several weeks the president and the bench show committee, consisting of T. J. ‘Watson (chairman), Howard Vernon (sec- retary), C. A. Haight, Len D. Owens and E. W. Brig has been in active corre- spondence with prominent dog breeders all over the country. One of the chief re- sults of this activity has been the securing of the services of James Mortimer of Long Island as judge. Mortimer has judged all the prominent shows in the country this year, and is considered the greatest Ameri- can kennel authority. ‘| Among the prominent breeders who have been induced to interest themseives in the show are George Gould and August Beimont. These gentlemen, with others of almost equal prominence, are getting together a carload of fancy dogs from Pennsylvania and Virginia. It is ex- pected that there will be an exhibit of the famous bloodhounds from the peniten- tiary at Baton Rouge, La. Herman Oel- hs has entered his famous English set- ter Doch H. A string of dogs is also to be brought from Victoria, B. C., and from the tone of the letters received from fanciers at that place the exhibitis exvected to be a very strong one. The first entry to be made was by the president of the club, who has entered his famous pointer Capay or ‘“Cap.” as his owner prefers to call him. Capay is the dog chosen 1o represent Califormia at the Eastern field tries, though owing to the fact that be has since sustained a broken Tib, a new field champion may have to be chosen. Cap’s sire, the famous English champion, Glenbeigh, is to.be entered by Howard Vernon. Glenbeigh is declared to be the only dog that ever won the double event in England, and he has been‘an 1n- variable winner in this country. T. J. Watson will enter “Starlight,” the winner gl éhe Pacific Coast field trials of Bakers- eid. Among the features of popular interest. will be the large exhibit of St. Bernards President Bier expects at least seventy-five entries in this ciass 1rom San Francisco, and theve will be numerous crackajacks | | hing to conciliate both sides, but the matter has apparently cropped up again. Oregon has protective laws and Washing- ton has not, hence the constantly recurring conflicts between fishermen and officials, It would be wellif the case were set at rest once and for all by some competent judicial or governmental authority, as the present conditions frequently occasion compiications. Undoubtedly some exag- gerated reports have reached us, but there must be some truth in them, and the matter, in my opinion, calls for speedy SCHUETZEN CLUB PRIZES, Brilliant Festival Held in Ein- tracht Hall Last Night. The World’s Centennial Cup Filled and Refilled With Champagne. A festival in honor of the prize-winners at last Sunday’sshoot in San Rafael was held by the California Schuetzen Club in Verein Eintracht Hall on Twelfth street, near Howard, Thursday night. There was music, dancing, the awarding of prizes and a general ¢ ood time. One of the features of the occasion was the customary introduction of the silver cup won in the world’s contest by the Cali- fornia Schuetzen Club at the Centennial in Philadelphia in 1876, The handsome and costly tanksrd was filled with champagne and passed from hand to hand and lip to lip among the ladies and gentlemen present. The team winning the cup was com- posed of the following well-known marks- men: Philo Jacoby, the organizer of the team; A. Strecker, A. Rahwyler, William Koenig, William Strenly, J. A. Bauer and William Ehrenplort. Before the dancing, to music furnished by Ritzau’s band, was begun, Dr. Muffe and Philo Jacoby made snort addresses. There were 150 prizes in all. The prin- cipal bonorary prizes were as follows: H. H. Burfeind 74, silver set; J. Dornbier 74, same Yrize; A. Strecker 71, same; Cap- tain Kuhls 71, same; J. Utschig 70, same; A. Gehret 70, same; D.

It is estimated that the ore runs'$6000 per ton in gold, and there is afoot of this rich streak. This ledge is 82 feet wide, and all the rest of the ore is high grade, thongh nothing to compare to from abroad to compete with them. Dr. Vecchi will exhibit a number of dachs- bunds, the elongated little dogs which *ave became familiar through the pages of | quickly Mitchell’s Magic Lotion acts] the bonanza streak. GOODNESS, gracious! 1'm wel ready., How . OEATH UNDER GROUND, Workmen in the Newton Copper Mines Said to Be in Peril. : THEY MAY BE DROWNED O®T. Labor Commissioners Will Ask the Legislature for a Special Mine Inspector: One of the engineers who formerly worked at the Newton Copper Mines in Amador County, has a story to tell, which, it not exaggerated, reveals a cynical disre- gard for human life on the part of the owner of the property. The engineer, who does not wish his name to be pub- lished, states that the mine is entered through a shaft 400 feet deep. which descends obliquely into tlie earth. He says further: The shaft was sunk in the early fifties, and is improperly timbered throughout, and in great danger of caving in. There is ho other means of egress from the mine, save by an old air-shaft about 200 feet away from the place where most of the men have to work. Neither shaft is provided with ladders, and the only mode of ascent or descent is by means of buckets on the main shaft, which can at most carry two men at a time. To add to the danger and discomfort, the mines are full of water, the buckets being kept continually in operation and baling out about 45.000 gnlfons or water daily. Owing to the dangerous and uncomfortable conditions ‘which surronnd the workmen few remain any length of time, some staying only a day or two. This ecircumstance enables ‘a certain large employment agency in this City to turn what its managers probably call an honest enny. This establishment charges engineers 5 and miners $3 for positions which after a short while they find themselves obliged to leave, when other men are sent by the agency at the same rate. The state of the mine is a constant menace to the lives of the workmen employea in it. ? The engineer was advised to lay the case before the State Bureau of Labor Statis- ties, whieh.he did. The Commissioners took his statement and made investiga- tions which convinced them thatthe man’s assertion, far from being exaggerated, was bardly an adequate presentation of the facts. *‘There should be a governmental inspec- tlon of the interior work of mines,” said the Commissioner. ‘‘The State Mining Bu- reau has six special deputies or field men; but their work is the compilation of sta- tistics only, and the law gives them no authority to make anything in the nature of a personal underground investigation. In the Civil Code of California there is an act entitled, ‘An Act for the Protection of Miners,’ which provides that ladders, tun- nels and other means of escape in case of accident be maintained. ° At the next session of the Legislature we intend to ask for the appointment of a special mine inspector, to be attached to this burean. He will confine his investi- gations to the conditions which surround the miners.” BURNING BOGUS MONEY. of Counterfeiters’ Productions Going Into a Furnace. Five tons of counterfeit money, machines and other of the paraphernalia necessary to the manufacture of the “queer” will be destroyed in Washington within a few days. So great a quantity of material of this sort has been collected during the last vear in the secret service division of the treasury that its destruction has become necessary. Just now it is carefully put away in boxes and packages, each labeled with a record of its contents. As much care is taken of bad money as of good money, because it would never do to have the counterfeits get into circula- tion again through neglect. Every penny in bogus coin or puper. must be strictly accounted for, and a deficit would be con- sidered as serious a matter as a theft from the cashroom. A few days from now the Secretary of the Treasury will select three of his most trusted men and will appoint them a com- mittee to superintend the destruction of the products of criminal ingenuity at pres- ent on hand. Every package will be opened in their presence, and they will watch the counting of the contents, which must correspond to the memorandum in the record book. Finally, all of the coin, as well as metal tools and other apparatus, will be carried downstairs and put aboard one of the big ironclad wagons which are used by the de- partment for carrying money. The wagon, guarded by armed men and followed by the committee in a_carriage, will proceed to the Washington Navy-yard. ° By a special arrangement with the Sec- Tons retary of the Navy, one of the great blast furnaces in the gunshop will be placed at. the disposel of the committee. The weighty packages will then be taken from the wagon and stacked up in front of the furnace, which 1s lixe unto that one which was seven times heated. Into it tile stuff will be unceremoniously shoveled—the coin first and then the coun- terfeiters’ machines, engraved steel plates for false notes, implements of various kinds, etc. Such thinfia as jimmies and brass knuckles go with the rest. In the lot will be a great quantity of metal tokens, representing money, such as are used by manufacturing aud mining com- panies, particularly in the South, for pay ing their employes. Many of these tokens, the use of which is forbidden by law, bear a rough resemblance to United States coins. Together with the lot go in not a few things of odd sorts. Among them are ad- vertising tags of tin, made in rude imita- tion of silver quarters. These are not in- tended to serve a criminal purpose, but the Secret Service gobbles them up justthe sanie. The law says that nothing in the like- ness of any security of the United States shail be permitted. "~ In the collection now on hand are a number of so-called coin clusters intended for paper-weights. They represent clusters of gold and silver pieces. Ofp course nobody could pass them as money, but they come under the statute, and, besides, there is a special objection to them. Coin counterfeiters are apt to have a few of them on_ hand, so that if caught they may pretend that they were merely en- gaged in the manufacture of gnpar—wughts. 'fhe great majority of false coins are made with plaster molds. Such molds are carried to the navy-yard with the rest of the material, but are not put into the fur- nace. They are merely knocked to pieces with hammers, which is an equally effec- tive method of destroving them. What is cast into the furnace, including the ma- chinery and tools, is melted and reduced to unrecognizable shave. It is sold eventually by the Navy De- partment as so inuch -0ld metal. There is a small amount of silver in it, inasmuch as bogus silver pieces are always plated with silver nowadays by the up-to-date counterfeiter. = Thus far nothing has been said of the way in which the paper counterfeits are destroved. They are put into a big tank with hot water and acids, and arg cooked and stirred about for many hours, until at length they are reduced to the condition of pulp. The pulp is dried, pressed into thick sheets and sold for paper stock. The process is the same as _that which is ap- lied to the damaged pager money re- geemed by the treasury. Into the great vat a few days hence will go great quanti- ties of *‘flash money,” which term is used to describe the printed advertisements in imitation of the National currency, with which the country is at all times -fl’ooded, notwithstanding the utmost efforts of the Government to suppress them, They are X 4 confiscated wherever the detectives of the Secret Service come across them, Calendars bearing likenesses of silver certificates and hat-bands with representa- tions of gold coins come under this head. Not long ago a large number of soda- water checks resembling nickel pieces were seized in Chicago.—New York Sun. e SOME PROFITABLE HISTORIES. The Record Made by Macaulay Still Unbroken in England or America. There were published in this cquntry last year 185 historical works, eight of them being new editions of works before published and 129 being by American authors. Publishers are shy of a new his- torian, and his manuscript is not accepted without strong commendation from ex- perts especially employed to pass upen it. Doubtless many of last year’s historical works were published with the financial aid of the authors. Nevertheless a pub- lisher is glad to have on his list a success- ful historical work covering a peculiar field. Such a work is not likely to have an immediate sale unpmachinf that of a popular novel, but the sale of the latter may cease at the ena of three months, wiile the sale of the other may continue for a quarter of ncenturi'_m- more. The prospective profit to a publisher is greater in the case of a standard history than in that of a popular novel, unless 'the latter be of an unusually high order. Macaulay’s History was perhaps the first historical work in the English tongue to have an enormous popular success. 1ts sale in the first year of publication has not since been surpassed by thatof any his- torical work, and the check for £20,000, paid to Macaulay by his publishers, was the largest single check paid to an author for literary work uutil the payment made for Geeneral Grant’s Memoirs. The sale of Macaulay’s work in this country was ver; great, as'it soon appeared in several edi- tions. The work is still selling well in both Great Britain and the United States. Two or three of Macaulay’s British suc- cessors have had great success both in this country and at_home. Green's “Short History of the Eunglish People” has al- most rivaled Macaulay’s history in popu- larity, and, indeed. may yet outeell it, It has béen made a school fextbook in Great Britain and the United States,and this has enormously increased its sale. Rome of the dry summaries that vass for school histories have sold by hundreds of thou- sands, but they are hardly to be considered in any discussion of the popularity of his- tory of literature. Green's longer work also has sold widely on both sides of the Atiantic, and now the elaborately illustrated four-volume edition of the hort History” is having a re- markable sale for so expensiye a book. Green’s success is the more striking in that his work goes over ground that had already been covered in works of moderate size by others, and is a signal instance of the value that style may give to a popular history. Froude’s ‘‘History of Englund,” although it extends to many volumes, | speedily hed a large sale on_both sides of | the Atlantic, and is still selling, although the method of the author has been as- sailed bitterly. Freeman, who would not have cared to be called a rival of Froude, hasnot had his popular success either at home or in America, althongh the *Norman Con- quest,” standing alone as it does, has sold well in both countries. Lecky has had a good sale on this side as well'as at home, | but Sir Henry Maine and other srecmli:ts 1 in history have never become really popu- lar. McCarthy’s “History of Our Own Times,"” a strictly popular worx, has had a great sale in one authorized and many private editions on this side. Had inter- national copyright been an accomplished fact before the publication of McCarthy’s work the author ‘'would have been some thousands of dollars better off. Bryce's ‘“American Commonwealth,” which is, of course, descriptive and philosophical rather than historical, has had a large sale here and abroad, and is a very valu- rlz_blhe property to both author and pub- isher. Prescott has had a greater popular suc- cessthan any other American historian, not even excepting Motley. His works are still selling in large numbers. Bancroft, although of wide repute, was never really popular, and tte aggregate sale of his his- tory in the last forty-five years has been probably much smaller than his readers suppose. Motley had a quick success with his Dutch histories, and they are still in ready demand, as they have been from the time of their publication. Parkman’s popularity has greatly in- creasea within the past twenty years, His first work, ‘“The Oregon Trail,” published nearly fifty years ago, was so successful that he published nothing else for fiiteen years. Though it stands apart from his other works, it has come to share their popularity. The book was written as the result of & hunting trip to-the far North- west, and was not a part of any historic plan. His works in twelve volumes are now selling freely throughcut this coun- try and in Canada. v McMaster’s first volume attracted much attention and had a good sale. The long delay between the anpearance of the first and the second volume injured the sale of the work as a whole. The fact is that Mr. McMaster lost the manuscript of his sel ond volume on a railway train, and the publication of the volume was delayed while he rewrote it. Of more recent his. tories that of J. F. Rhodes and Campbell's “The Puritan in Holland, England and America’” have had unusual success for historical works of their length. All of John Fiske's historical works have had a large sale, and the ‘‘Critical Period of American History'’ is one of the greatest opular successes in American literatnre. ?{is works as a whole are an extremely handsome property to the publisher, and he is one oF the few historians who may count upon a large sale for any work that he may write. The constitutional history of Von Holst, now at lensth seemingly finished, has sold largely for so long and serious a work. All things considered, the best known modern historians, - both British and American, have found their work profita- ble, though probably none on either slde’ of the Atlantic has received nearly so much for a single work as Macaulay. Per- haps the pecuniary value of historical writing cannot be better illustrated than by the fact that the works. largely his- torical, of a deceased American author, although the copyrights have all expired, are still esteemed by his publishers the most profitable books on their list. KING PREMPEH'S JEWELS. Their Arrival in London—Value Placed at About $10,000. Some duys ago Sir Francis Scott depos- ited at the offices of the crown agents for the colonies such of the gold and jewels belonging to King Prempeh as the British were able to lay bands upon and to bring to this country in respact of the war in- demnity due from As-=£1e¢ in connection with the recent and forme: expedition to Coomassie. These jews!s were kept under lock and key until yesterday afternoon, when they were laid out on a large table in the office for the inspection of Mr. Chamberlain and the heads of the various departments of the Colonial Office. Sir Montagu Ommanney, Senior crown agent for:the colonies, informed gress representatives that, including some ags of gold dust which formed part of the consignment, he did not think the in- trinsic value of the property would exceed £2000, but_of course, rare and curious ex- amples of barbaric skill and splendor often had a value of their own far in excess of that indicated by the weight of the precions metal of which they were composed. The whole coilection, however, was far smaller than that brought homeafter the Ashantee war, some sgecimqns of which were to be found atthe Imperial Institute and British Museum, while other articles were dis- posed of to dealers in curiosities, snd the residue of ornaments went to the smelt- ing-pot. s It was, said the crown agent, a notable fact that, whereas the former jewels were all of solid heavy gold, those brought home as the result of the more recent expedition were mostly hollow and consequently less valuable, although composed of the purest gold. ‘The most striking feature of the eollection is a crown, probably that worn by the monarch. The body of the crown 1s made of antelope skin and the in- ner lining is of coarse vellow silk or plush, On each” side is a lapel apparently in- tended to meet below the chin and fasten there. The ornaments upon this curious headdress are of pure soft gold, and they comprise representations of human heads, jawbones and lions, the whole being sur- mounted by two goats’ horns of wold. Much of the treasure con- sists of component parts of neck- laces, waistbands, etc., but Sir Mon- tagu called special attention to what is presumed to be the badge of office of the public executioner of Coomassie. At the top and bottom of this strange ornament arerepresentations of human bodies with- out heads, and in the center is the execu- tioner with his drawn sword or execution knife in his hand. All these figures are of gold, and the badge, which is of hide, is provided with strings by which it is fast- ened upon the breast.” There is alto an execution knife or sword, stightlv curved, with its cutting edge on the inside. The weapon appears to have done much ser- vice. The handle, like most of the swords and knives in the collection, is clothed with leopard skin and terminates in a huge golden ball. After inspection by Mr. Chamberlain and other privileged persons the valuables were again locked up to await decision as to their disposal.— London Times. ————— Scarlet fever and cerebro-spinal menin- gitis are frequent causes of deafness.
