JON n 2, m - b o | afternoon at 5:30 o’clock, and was not un- expected. For days he bad been hovering on the border of the great beyond, and at the last the final transition was ascalm and peaceful as a pleasant dream. Mrs. Jones was with her husband to the very end, and, save her brother, Thoma3 Weybun, was the only member of the Gov- ernor’s family present during the last hours. Some months ago Governor Jones was attacked with a disease which competent physicians pronounced cancer of the stomach. On the advice of friends he came to San®Francisco, consulting the most eminent practitioners in the City. They afforded him only temporary relief, candidly admitting that his death was only a question of days. One day, about three months ago, Mrs, | Dr. Cook called on the Governor at the Paiace Hotel and asked permission to prescribe for the then dying man. She did, and for a time her efforis seemed to meet with success. (Governor Jones so far recovered as to be able to walk a consider- able distance. The attending physician suggested to Mrs Jones that sne secure a auiet place, and, acting on this advice, the upper flat at 607 Guerrero street was secured. For weeks the Governor continued to improve, so far as outward appearances went. Three weeks ago, however, he suf- fered a relapse, resulting finally in his death, as already stated. Governor John E. Jones was born in Wales, December 5, 1840. He immigrated to the United States with his parents and settled in Iowa in 1856. He was educated in the public schools, completing his edu- cation with a_four years' course in the Towa State University. In his early man- hood he was engaged in school teaching in his adopted State. He came to this coast in 1869. in company with Henry Hilp of this Ci He went to the Eureka mining district | of Nevada shortly afterward and soon be- ‘ came popular smong his fellow-miners of that localit Ruby Hill Miners’ Union for several years. He amassed a fair fortune in mining prop- | erty and lands, most of his interests being | in the Eureka district, although he owned lands in Carson Valley, Nev., and in South- | ern Utah. In 1886 he was elected Surveyor- | General and State Registrar of Lands on the Republican ticket, and four years later | He left | was re-elected to the same office. the Republican for the Silver party during his last term as Surveyor-General, and in recognition of that act the party with | which he affiliated elected him Governor l in 1894. He wass Knight Templar and of the | enviable thirty-second degree in the Ma- | sonic order. At one time he was grand master of that order in Nevada. For the past ten years he resided in Carson City. Previous to that time he lived at Eureka. He was engaged in mining in Wyoming and Colorado for a short time before com- ing to the coast. Speaking of him yesterday a prominent Nevadan said: ““He was true to every offi- cial trust or we wounld rot have repeatedly bestowed upon him the elective honors we did. He had a large personal following in | friends who knew his true worth.”’ The remains or the late Governor will be carried to Nevada for interment to-mor- row. Late last evening Governor Budd sent | the following dispatch to Colonel F. S. Chadbourne, paymaster-general : Just received news of the death of Governor John E. Jones of Nevada. Please convey my sympathy and condolence to the family in behalf of the people of the State of California. Render them every assistance. J. H. BUDD.

Morr as floor e THE BLIAD PRIMA DORRA Belinfante Makes Her Debut at the Audi- I torium. | | Miss | Warm Applause Given by a Critical | Audience—An Aria From “Carmen.” The audience which assembled Thursday | night at the Auditorinm to hear Signorina | Estrela Belinfante and Anton Schott, was more enthusiastic than numerous. Among those present were a number of Italian | and German residents. The Signorina is a slim, graceful girl, who looks almost too fragile to be the possessor of such a big voice as she possesses. |~ Her blindness is not very apparent, as | she has pretty dark eyes, which give no outward indications of her infirmity, but she is evidently unable to see her way about the platiorm, and as she indulges in | a good deal of dramatic gesture, there were | | moments when the people in the front | | rows trembled for fear she should take one | step too many forward. John Marquardt, who played the violin | | obligato to her first song. watched her with evident anxiety, but the yo! lady | was very sure of herself and managed to | move about gracefully, as well as safely. Miss Belinfante’s voice is of the mezzo- soprano contralto quality, which would fit | her to sing such roles as Carmen, Azu. | cena or Orpheus in Gluck’s “Orfeo.” She has considerable power and a gond | compass and some of her tones are excep- tionally sweet, rich and ringing. The contralto tones of her chest register are deep and full without being sepulchral, though if she continues to bring this pro- | duction into her lower middle register she | will eventually impair her fine upper notes. The young contralto sings equally well in English and Italian, and her enuncia- | tion in both languages is remarkably clear | and good. She sang the “L’'amour c’est un oisean,” from ‘Carmen,” in Italian with a chic and dash and aggressive impu- dence which showed that she has the voca- | tion to act as well as to sing Bizet’s heroine if she were not debarred from stage work by her blindness. Miss Belinfante’s voice shows to best | | advantage in operatic music. She gave an | | interesting and dramatic rendering of the | **Che Faro?” from Gluck’s *‘Orfeo,” and | she preceded the aria by the beautiful | and difficuit recitation, which is too often | | omitted. Another of Miss Belinfante’s | | numvers was_Papi Slaine,” and she sang “Daddy’’ prettily as an encore. | There was a great deal of enthusiasm | shown by the public for the blind singer, | | and she received numerous floral tributes. | Anton Schott was in good voice, and | worked hard to make the evening a suc- | cess. 1ln Beethoven’s “Die Himmel Ruehmen” he sang with great dramatic effect and a magnificent volume of voice, his_rendition of ‘““‘Lohengrin’s Narration”’ and ““Lohengrin's Farewell” aiso brought | him loud applause and “bravos.” | “The Three Students,” by Speyer, is a | 0od old German drinking song,’in which Schott was guite at home. He also gave a couple of Schumann songs and Starck’s “Rheinlied,” as well as several encores, Arthur Fickenscher, the piamst, played several selections, including worfis by Delibes and Chopin. 5 b The second concert bv the above artists will be given to-morrow afternoon at the Auditorium. M e e e Emil Beck Sentenced. Emil Beck, convicted of obtaining money under false pretenses, was sentenced to seven years’ imprisonment by Judge Wallace yester- day.

THREATS OF SHOOTING MADE. | Wiliam Encke Wants to Get the% Directors Together and Fill Them With L-ad. | Garment-makers’ and Cooks and Waiters’ | William Encke made a highly incen. diary speech last night at the meeting of the depositors of the People’s Home Say- ings Bank. Several speakers had preceded him with remarks as to the hopelessness of obtain- | | ing their money by legal means, and oth- | ers had suggested that the Prosecuting At- | torneys, Judges and others whom tney be- lieved to bave assisted the directors and stockholders, should be boycotted at the polls next fall. | Before the applause which greeted those | expressions had subsided Mr. Encke, a | short, thickset man with a broad accent, | arose and said: “We can’t get anything out of those! directors unless we take the lawin our | The thing to do is to wait till | the directors are all together and then If a man tries to | break into my house and rob me I have a right to take my vpistol and shoot him.” F.

Then they could assemble 5000 | or 6000 persons and march to the Millg | building and see whether they would get | | | Several others expressed similar opinions to thatof Mr. Encke that force was the | alternative left them. The speeches were | of the hottest kind and charged Directors | Freeman, Thornton, Phelps and Taylor | with standing in with the stockholders for | the purpose of cheating the depositors out | of their money. Judge Hebbard, District Attorney Barnes and others were blamed for leniency toward R. H. McDonald Jr. | It was alleged that Prosecuting Attorney | Hinkle was incompetent and allowed the | defense to have their own w: i After a violent preamble scoring Direc- | tors Phelps, Thornton, Freeman and Tay- | tor for removing Mr. Flournoy from his | | position as attorney of the bank, the fol- | lowing resolutions were adopted : That if S.

After passing another resolution re- questing the District Attorney and the | Bank Commissioners to do their duty, the | | meeting adjourned subject to the call of | the chair. SEEING IS BELIEVING. Gratifying Success of the Plan to In- | | | troduce the Encyclopmdie Dictionary., Nearly a month ago the Pacific Coast | Newspaper Syndicate, controlling the new Encyclopedic Dictionary, in order | to introduce the work, wisely deter- | mined to distribute a considerable | number of sets at a nominal price and | terms, so that" it might be| widely compared with other reference | works and favorable publicity be thereby | obtained. Those that have thus received the work are convinced that the ciaims made for it have been fully justified. They have | found that it is a complete dictionary, | containing accurate information regarding | definition, | pronunciation and use of every word in the English language; that it is a com- rehensive encyclopedia in all branches of Enowledge: that it is a dictionary of quo- literature, and that it is a scientific diction- ary, affording a wide range oi information on all technical subjects. It contains many new words not found a matter of fact, the very ones regarding which exact information is most necessary.. It is a standard of reference in schools, colleges, universities, and among la TS, physicians, scientists, literary men, busi- ness men and all classes to whom exact and exhaustive information about words and things is a necessity. All these points bave naturally told strongly in favor of the work, and it is, therefore, small wonder that the supple- mental distribution, which began Monday last and closes Saturday evening, should have been so remarkably successful. But the opportunity forsecuring a set at the extremely low introductory price and on the exceptionally easy terms of pav- ment will soon have passed, as Saturday night, at 10 o’clock, 18 the hour fixed, and after that the regular subscription price of from $42 to $70 per set, according to bind- ing, will prevail. Dr. Jordan on the Charter. Professor David Starr Jordan, president of the Stanford University, will deliver an ad- dress at Golden Gate Hall this evening upon “Centralization in Municipal Government With Special Reference to the New Charter.” The board of directors of the Merchants’ As- sociation has accepted the invitation to be present at the meeting. The Merchants’ Asso- | ciation regards it as & favorabie omen tor future improvement of municipal government thatsuch a distinguished scholar consents to give his opinions to the public without reser- vation. ———————— An Able Argument. In this week's San Francisco News-Letter will be found a masterly article entitled “Fol- lies of the Funding Fight,”” which every one should read for the clear insight it givesinto a great question involving the future of Cali- fornia. The writer proves tnat it is to the in- terest of the people that the Government make easy terms with the railroad, because gli the money that must be paid it must necessarily come out of our own pockets.

Unions of the Cpuncil to Make an In- vestigation of the Subject. At the meeting of the Labor Council last night a report was submitted showing that the following named unionsare in favor of sustaining the Labor Council as against the Central Labor Alliance re- cently organized by a convention of dele- gates from the various labor unions: Sailors’, Iron-molders’, Horseshoery’, Cigar-makers’. Electrical Workers’, Theat- rical Employes’, Coopers’, Musicians’, Brewery Workmen, Bakers’ and Pattern- makers’. The Tailors’ and Furniture-makers’ unions had not vet taken action, and the unions wcre reported to be not yet regu- larly affilisted with the council, though they soon expect to be. Reports from various unions were made, showing their condition as favorable. The following motion was adoped: That the Labor Council is in favor of propor- tional representation, and that the legis- lative committee be instructed to present a bill to the next Legislature amending the constitution to provide for propor- tional representation. On the report of the special committee that prison-made barrels were being shipped Lere from the East, a motion was adopted instructing the committee to con- tinue its investigation and requesting the delegates to lay the matter before their respective unions for additional informa- tion. for the purpose of learning whether any other prison-made goods were being marketed here. ROOFERS I THE COUNCI Strength of the Building Trades. Nothing to Suggest a Strike in Any Part of the City—The Card Works Welil. Among the building trades in this City particular indicative of a strike. On every hand mechanics were working away on buildings, and it appeared round town that San Francisco was receiving its cus- tomary spring vpainting. At the head- guarters of the building tradés, 115 Turk street, but a handful of men could be seen, and in fact the large hall was practically abandoned at certain hours of the day. For some reason the bone of conten- tion—the Emporium building on Market street — received no thought from the unions—for union men were at work there standing having been reached over the | contracts that could not be annulled, Indeed, it might be said that the strike was at an end, and that the united car- penters, painters, etc., had gained their | point. They were as industrious as ever | earning their honest wages, but in & new environment. Every man working with them was a union man. He Laa ‘“‘the card’” in his pocket. “Of course we had a few complaints from jobs over the card,’”” said J. Mec- Cartney, chairman of the grievance com- mittee, “but they did not amount to any: thing, and we settled them easily.” Business Agent Saunders of the council said he and Agent Mclvor had been visit- ing among the buildings and were satis- tied at the condition of things everywhere. as if nothing had happened, an lmder-‘ | quietly unionizing their shops, and a good feeling existed between employers and men. The Metal Roofers’ Union met last night at 115 Turk street and reorganized under the auspices of the building trades coun- cil. R.T.Mectvor, {cCartney and T. E. Zandt, the council's committee on organi- card system in detail. This explanation was so reasonable and so satisfactory that firee metal roofers signed the roll. John T. McGrath was elected temporary chairman, John F. McGowan temporary secretary, Tke Winthrop sergeant-at-arms. I. Winthrop, Charles Willis, William Taylor and B. Comeford were elected a committee on reorganization. M. Hughes, George Engler, P. McDon- ald and J. McGowan were chosen as the committee on constitution and b; °s, and J. T. McGrath was added to each, ex- officio. The union decided to go into permanent organization next Tuesday evening at 115 Turk street, when it is expected that the roll will be increased to 250. The old union wes a powerful labor organization with considerable numerical strength, and under the present very favorable condi- tions the new one may be still more influ- ential. The revival of this union is import- ant, as it gives still another large body of men to the building trades council and consequently gives the council renewed strength and contidence. It places the council in a_better position to enforce its card throughout the City. The Shinglers’ Union met at 115 Turk street and afer a long discussion con- cluded to affiliate with the council and so to work under the card system. A com- mittee wasappointed to present the matter befors the carpenters that an understand- ing might be reached between the two bodies. Carpenters’ Union 22 heard the committee, but deferred action for a week. A COSTLY TALISMAN. Van de Vere, the Sorcerer, in Judge Low’s Court. Professor Van de Vere was again on trial yesterdsy before Police Judge Low on a charge of grand larceny, the details of which have already been published. Van de Vere, the defendant, was in court, of course, and at times broke into laughter with the audience when the ‘“rawness” of his work was exposed. Bell was on the stand during most of the afterncon. He told the story of his| financial undoing from the time he paid $25 for a talisman, the iuirinsic value of which does not amount to 25 ce; to the times he gave up from $100 to to Van de Vere and Professor Eugene on their claim that they would relieve him of all evil influences. More testimony of this nature is to pe heard and, although it has, up to date, been shown that gBel] voluntarily parted with his money, and that his testimony is to the effect that the alieged clairvoyants fulfilled all their pronnses, it is more than likely Van de Vere will be held over to be tried by a jury in the Superior Court. e — Election of Sons of Hermann. At the general meeting of the Ernst V. Bandel Lodge of the order of the Sons of Hermann last evening, the following officers were electea and installed for the ensuing term: President, C.

Kimpston, One of the Teamsters, Makes a Statement at the Labor Bureau. The laborer Henshaw, mentioned in a recent issue of THE CaLry, is not, it ap- pears, the only sufferer by the McCoy street-grading contract. J. S. Kimpston,a teamster employed under the contract, has a similar story to tell and a larger claim | to collect. *“When McCoy failed and assigned the contract to J. J. Rauer,” said Kimpston, “I was working with two teams and a hired man. This man was engaged by me, and I have had to pay him. All I owe him is $3, which he is sure of getting. But Rauer owes me $109, no part of which bas yet been paii. I live by my work, and have a family of seven de;l;endent upon me for support, and a= everybody knows, | house rent and bills for provisions count up rather steep when there’s no money coming in. Besides, I have four horses to keep, and I cannot go on forever getting their feed on credit. ““1 know of six or seven men who have not been able to collect money due them for labor perforraed under this ill-starred contract. In some instances the men were induced to sign receipts in full before they could get a small portion of their wages. These men, when they asked for their money, were shown the receipts and de- fied to press their claims. Several of us intend to wait upon Jake Rauer in a body very soon, and perhaps his fear of being put to public shame may induce him to pony up. Iam myself in sad need of the money owing to me, while some of the others, like Henshaw, are on the last ex- treme of destitution. It seems a shame that men who have worked hard and tried to serve their employers conscientiously should be defrauded of their lawiul pay.” ek < e il Oregon District Synod. Rev. J. M. Buehler, pastor of St. Paul's | Lutheran Church, corner of Eddy and Gough streets, went East yesterday as delegate of the California and Oregon District Synod to attend | the triennial session of the German Lutheran Synod at Fort Wayne, Ind.
