16 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, TUESDAY, APRIL 28, 1896. SPRECKELS FORCES THE MEETING. The Republican Executive Committee to Meet To-Morrow. THINGS LEFT UNDONE. An Official Apportionment Will Be Declared for One Thing. THE FAKE CONTEST SICKENS. Kelly and Mahoney Will Not Noisily Go on the Temporary Con- vention Roll. The executive committee of the Repub- lican State Central Committee will meet in its rooms on California street to-morrow afternoon. This meeting will be an important one, and its being called is due to John D. Spreckelsand his friends in the committee who constitute & majority. There are va- rious matters of importance which have for some time demanded a meeting of the executive committee, but Chairman Corn- wall has until now refused to issue a call for a meeting, although last Saturday he called a meeting of the eniire State Cen- tral Committee at 8a mento for the evening of May 4, the day before the con- vention. Last week John D, Spreckels made three calls on Chairman Cornwall with requests and reasons for a meeting of the executive committee, but Cornwall was afraid that a secretary might be elected in place of the absent one, Dan Burns, and that an assistant secretary might be elected in place of ke Steppacher of the Kelly- Mahoney outfit. ‘There are no indications that such a plan is in view, but the chair- man refused the request for a meeting. As Mr. Spreckels is vice-chairman of the executive committee, a meeting called by him, with the approval of a majority of the committee, would be a regular and wroper one. Mr. Spreckels and hisfriends | were determined- that the meeting should | be held, ana the vice-chairman let the chairman understand that a call would be issued on Monday by himself if the chair- man still refused to act. Chairman Corn- | wall recognized the fact that there | was business of importance which the | executive committee should attend to, but Chairman Cornwall is one of the relics of | the Burns regime who is inclined to favor the Kelly-Mahoney Fourth District fake. He has shown some signs of a disposition to give these freebooters an opportunity to zain the political advantage of getting their delegation on the temporary roll and putting the regular representatives of the party in the Fourth District in the absurd position of contestants. This was why Chairman Cornwall with- held the call; but yesterday, seeing that a meeting would inevitably be heid, he issued the call for Wednesday afternoon and admitted that business which must be attended to before the meeting of the convention made the meeting necessary. One of the many things which the State Central Committee left undone at its hur- ried meeting on February 29 was the offi- cial apvortionment of delegates to the ! convention. It was ordered that the con- vention should consist of one delegate from each Assembly district and ome in addition for each 200 votes cast for M. M. Estee, or & majority fraction thereof. The local party autborities have everywhere figured out for themselves the number of delegates to elect, but the important offi- cial apportionment of delegates has never been made. This will be one of the things to be done to-morrow. Whether or not any important action relating to the interests of the party in the Fourth District will be taken cannot be foretold, but it is anticipated that there will be. It became apparent yesterday to those who did not know it before that Kelly and Mahoney have about as much prospect of getting their fake delegation plumped onto the temporary roll by a friendly commit- | tee officer as they have of becoming Presi- dent. This is the one great play which they have proclaimed they would be able to make. There was never any prospect that the convention, composed of decent Re- vublicans who would not, most of them, touch Martin Kelly with a forty-foot pole, would shut out the representatives of the entire party in favor of a set of tools be- longing to Kelly and Mahoney, but these political gamblers thought they saw a chance at a long shot. If they could get a friendly clerk to put their delegation on the temvorary roll they would take a chance, like playing their pile on the ace while beating tom-toms to bring good luck. On this flimsy platform they hoisted their hollow fake and sought to inspire confidence that they really had a fighting chance to get a red bladder recognized by the convention as the Republican party of the Fourth Congressional District of Cali- fornia. But the flimsy platiorm has tumbled and the blown-up fake is collapsing. Mar- tin Kelly and Jerry Mahoney do not con- trol the governing body of the Republican NEW TO-DAY. Blood Humors JVERY, humor, whother itehing, burning, blceding, ecaly, crusted, pimply, ot blotchy, whether simple, acofulous, or hereditary, from fnfancy to age, are now speedily cured by (Uticura Resolvent A BKIN and biood purifier of ncomparable purity and curative power. Purely vegeta- party, and they realized vesterday that their scheme was lost. The regular delegation, which represents the vast bulk of the party and all its decency and strength, and which was nominat ed and elected by the veople themselves at a primary which was clean, just and not boss-run, will go ir the tem- porary roll and vote for temporary chair- man, Then will appear Kelly and Mahoney with a brass band and the claim, “We are the Republican party of the Fourth Dis- trict.” The result has no uncertainty about it. Kelly and Mahoney will ve known as two discarded bosses, vile of character and filthy of record, who combined with Rainey and Buckley to defeat the last Republican nominee for Governor and who are now making desperate efforts to get hold of something in the party which they can trade, sell and use to boost them- selves into local power. It will be well known that it was Kelly and Mahoney who stirred quietly about on the evening of the adjournment of the State Central Committee and cooked up a tricky scheme to get control of the party organization in the Fourth District, and that a hurriedly called midnight meeting was held in Jerry Mahoney’s rooms, at which the Kelly-Mahoney Congressional committee was appointed against the pro- tests of several of the State Central Com- mitteemen who were able to be present at an hour’s notice. It will be clearly apparent that this alleged Congressional committee was created by the votes of two of the eleven members of the State Central Committee, one legitimate proxy and two forged proxies. One of these proxies, provided by Martin Kelly, was voted by Mahoney and the other by Jake Shaen, the Police Court clerk. On this, as a starter, rest the legal claims of the Kelly-Mahoney freebooting outfit. A few days later a majority of the members of the State Central Committee met and appointed the regular Congres- sional Committee, which has been recog- nized by the mass of the party, and which declared for an open primary, referring its conduct to the County Committee, the regular and proper local party authority. Kelly and Mahoney wholly controlled and bossed their committee. Kelly and Mahoney named a delegation and got up acheap and farcical primary to give it a further color of regularity. As mnot 300 votes were cast 7300 votes were added to the returns to supply a fictitious show of importance. When they had thus blown up their fake they began to shout, spread absurd stories of offers of compromise, put forth bold claims and make other desperate att empts to force recognition. As this Kelly and Mahoney delegation represents nobody but Martin Kelly and a scattering few of their old political asso- ciates, and has no soul or purpose the low ambitions of corrupt pol who are out in the cold, the issue of its contest with the mass of the local Repub- lican party becomes no uncertainty. With the temporary roll trick lost Kelly | and Mahoney have left little but the brass band. Tom 0’ Brien . the Police Court clerk, is still loyal to Kelly and Mahoney, and ex- pects to make the chief speech for his masters at Sacramento. It is this oppor- tunity which mainly salves the sore spot made a day or two ago by the assessment of $50 made against his municipal salary to help pay for the band. Many Republican politiciansare wonder- ing what Estee will do to Martin Kelly at Sacramento and whether a threat he made just after the last election has leaked its grim purpose all away. ““If that — —— Martin Kelly ever shows his head in State politics again,” Estee is reported as having declared, “T’1l hang a full length picture of him in the convention hall with ‘traitor’ over it.”’ As Martin Kelly gave California a Dem- ocratic administration by openly turning the south-of-Market power he possessed then against Estee, there are some people who wonder if Kelly hasn’t some “gall” to spare. The regular Fourth District delegation is organizing by Assembly districts, each district electing a chairman. The Thirty- fourth District 1s one of those which have organized, and George W. Elder has been made the chairman. SALVATIONISTS LOYAL. Amid Intense Enthusiasm They Fire a Volley for General Booth, An Officers’ and Soldiers’ Council of the Salvation Army was held last night at Congress Hall, 1139 Market street. There were about 1000 members present, and the meeting was strictly private. Emma Booth-Tucker, the new Com- mander of the Salvation Army forces in the United States, was in charge of the as- sembly. The staff officers of the Pacific Coast Division were all present. The letters that passed between Balling- ton Booth and wife on one side and Gen- eral Booth and Chief of Staff Bramwell Booth on the other in the late controversy were read. The members were then asked to express by vote whether they believed that the General and the Chief of Staff had acted properly in their treatment of Ballington, ang they unanimously voted that they had. “Then,”” said Brigadier Keppell, “those who intend to remain loyal to General Booth and the world-wide Salvation Army, fire a volley!” Amid intense excitement, and without a dissenting voice, volley aiter volley was firea for General Booth and the flag. It was voted that a message be sent to General Booth and Booth-Tucker affirm- ing their loyalty. .. GOOD ROADS OF FRANCE. Government Keeps Up a Perfect System i of Care Year in and Out. A traveler is especially struck with the fiue roads of France, of which the people are justly proud. The Government keeps up a perfect system of care and inspection, and wherever one goes he may be sure of finding the vprincipal roads in excellent order. They are often bordered with trees for miles, and are in a perfect state for bicycle riders. All the underbrush, small twigs and even the lower branches of the trees have been cut for firewood; and not a twig is wasted. All are gnhered and tied upin bundles, ready for use. Every foot of .ground is cultivated, or so it seems to strangers. There are mountains and bar- ren places whnere nothing will grow, but every bit of ground that can produce any- thing is made to do so. The winter is so mild south of the Loire that vegetables are flourishing in the gardens at all times. There are, of course, certain seasons for the different ones, except the haricots verts (strine beans) and the dwarf radishes. These are nlwal?:s in season, and the quan- tities eaten in France must be enormous. The fields are not E‘enemlly separated by fences or hedges. The dividing line is, however, clearly shown by the sort of grain growing in them. As mostof the farmers keep sheep, the absence of fences necessitates the shepherd or shepherdess. ‘Wherever one sees a small number of sheep there is also to be seen a guardian with them. Alas!itis not the beautiful shepherdess of the poets and painters. I ble, safe, innocent, and palatable. It appeals to all, and especially mothers, nurses, and children, £old throughout the world.

In reality, the shepherdess is often an old ‘woman, who leads her flock from one spot to another, tranquilly knituing a stocking while her sheep nibble the grass, HAS DESERTED HER 1DOLS History of Sister Mary, the Chi- nese Salvation Army Lassie. TALKS TO HER COUNTRYMEN. Lived at Santa Rosa and a Negress First Led Her Into a Chris- tian Church. Less than a year ago Sister Mary was an idolater—a worshiper of false gods and graven images—and knew nothing of the “tpeace that passeth understanding.” To-day she is one of the most devoted of the followers of the banner of the Salva- tion Army, and absent-minded indeed is Mary if she fails to ask anxiously regard- ing your soul when you enter into con- versation with her. Sister Marv—her Chinese name is buried with the past—conducted a little store at Santa Rosa that had been left her by her husband and at which the Orientals of the town traded. Many of these sought her hand, but in vain, for Mary had had quite to devote any of his time to the newspaver- men, ;80 a few written questions pertain- ing to this matter, which is of such great importance to shippers everywherein the United States, were supmitted to him by a representative of Tae CaLL. They were as follows: 2 *Iss there to be a meeting of the Trans- continental Traffic Board Association in this City May 13? “If not, when and where will it meet? “Is it frue, a3 alleged by the Examiner, that the new rates were ‘knocked out’ ow- ing to differences berween yourself and Mr. Simmons? “‘What was the causeof the indefinite postponement of action on the new rates?” To the first came back the reply that the meeting to be held in this City on the 13th of May was that of tne Transcontinental Passenger Association, as_announced ex- clysively in Tae Cavy of Sunday, and not of the Transcontinental Traffic Associa- tion, as stated yesterday in the Examiner. The second question was entirely 1g. nored, presumably because Mr. Stubbshad no information on the subject. Mr. Stubbs’ reply to the third question was, *No, sir; nota word of truth in it.” In response to the last interrogatory Mr, Stubbs wrote: ‘I regard that question of 1o public interest even if I could answerit.”” From the foregoing it will therefore be seen that the mercantile community is destined to remain in its condition of un- satisfactory and discouraging uncertainty for an indefinite period. But that there will be another effort shortly to solve the difficulties in the way of a readjustment of transcontinental rates is the opinion of all persons and interests involved. The very fact that such a strict secrecy is maintained regarding the cause of the disagreement at Chicago is viewed as favorable to that end, the object of this enough of life as the slave of a Chinese | master, and something else weighed too | secretiveness being evidently to prevent any unnecessary friction by the opening and irritating of freshly inflicted wounds. SISTER MARY, THE CHINESE SALVATION ARMY LASSIE. heavily on her mind to permit a place for thoughts of matrimony. To her, as to the ancient Athenians, had come the story of the unknown God, and she longed to know more of this divinity to whom her white neighbors bowed in reverence and to whom temples were built on every hand. Mary knew few white women to whom she could confide her longings, but she did know a devout negress, and to this coal-black daughter of Ham she unbosomed herself, and was taken to a Christian church. Her simple brain—long used to worship by many pros- trations and burning of incense and read- ing of prayer-sticks—at first failed to grasp the spirit of Christianity, but when it did she was fired with a desire to aid the | world. Weekly devotions were not enough for her and she sought for a more zealous form of worship, In the Salvation Army | sbe found her ideal, and thus it was that she joined its ranks, became a full-fledged soldier and nightly labors in the slums of Chinatown, striving to bring benighted heathen into the fold. Some time ago, when Corps No. 11 of the army was assigned to Chinatown and took up quarters at 815 Sacramento street, Mary was ordered to take her station there, and her exhortations have brought many Chi- nese who have paused through curiosity to watch the little band of workers holding their prayer service on the corners of the dark and ill-smelling alleys to attend the meetings at the barracks and listen to the prayers of tbhe Chinese male converts, on whom the army mainly relies for Chinese Tecruits. wH0 PUBLIC INTEREST.” The Cause of the Failure to Advance Rates to Chicago So Declared. Mr. Stubbs Deigns to Answer Writing a Few Questions on This Important Matter. . in What is just now greatly worrying the merchants and shipping people of the country is the uncertainty attending the freight rate situation, which was cre- ated by the adjournment of the executive committee of the Transcontinental Traffic Association at Chicago last week, after deciding to postpone indefinitely action on the new advanced rates reported. That this course was the result of a seri- ous disagreement between one or more of the roads interested no one doubts, but the most profound secrecy is maintained in reference to the parties responsible for the rupture and its cause. In the Examiner of yesterday appeared what purported to be a solution of the mystery. This stated that the hitch arose.| from differences between Traffic Manager J. C. Stubbs of the Southern Pacific Com- pany and President Simmons of the Pan- ama Railroad Company and that there was to be another meeting of the execu- tive committee of the Transcontinental Traffic Association in this City on May 13 to again consider the matter. J. C. Stubbs_returned Sunday night but absolutely declinec to discuss the cause of the trouble at Chicago and no other rail- road man of this City was present. In consequence the story as published in the Enm‘incr was generally discredited in railroad and mercantile circles. Mr. Stubbs wasstill too busy yesterday GOV. JONES’ ESCORT. General Warfield Said to Have Been Misrepresented by a Subordinate Officer of the National Guard. An inquiry may be made in the National Guard to ascertain if an officer, whose name is now withheld, did not cause his superior officer, Brigadier-General R. H. Warfield, to be deliberately misrepresented in a daily newspaper in regard to an escort in honor of the late General Jones of Ne- vada. General Warfield relies on the printed order from brigade headquarters April 11 to show that a proper detail was ordered. 2 The third paragraph of this order reads as follows: III. In aceordance with orders from superior headquarters, Colonel Willlam MeDonald, commanding First Regiment Infantry, is here- by directed to furnish a suitable detail under command of a lientenant, to act asa guard of honor from now until the hour of funeral, over the remains of the late Governor Jones of Nevada, who died in this city on last even- iog. He will also furnish a detail to actas escort to_the remains, to the depot of the Southern Pacific Railroad, foot of Market street, on the day of the funeral, consulting at all times the wishes of the family of deceased in the matter. Attention is called to that particular language of the order which directs the colonel of the First Regiment to ‘‘consult at ali times the wishes of the family.” It was such consultation that called out tne regiment. The guard of honor over the remains is altogether different from the funeral escort. Paragraph 4 of the official order also directed Captain H. T. S8ime, Troop A, to make a detail of four troopers and a cor- poral to act as a guard of honoz to Repo. The published statement, which is said to have been instigated by an officer of bigh rank, asserted that General Warfield simply detailed a platoon as escort. General Warfield remarked last evening that he had nothing to say on the subject further than to refer to the official order which provided for a detail of a guard of honor and also for a proper escort. —————————— History of a Wheel. The “Dandy Horse" was the first bicycle to make its appearance in America. That was in 1819. The rider sat between two wheels, his feet touching the ground and proceeded at a half run, half walk, which gave him a speed of ahout eight miles an hour. This was too much like work to suit the early fathers, and the wheel did Dot meet with favor. Nearly fifty years later it was reintroduced, this time having cranks on the wheel in front and called the velocipede. It is asserted that Robert Cen- ter, the well-known clubman who died re- cently, was the first man to bring the ve- locipede to America. When the velocipede came in there was 8 boom in the trade, and riding-schools were instituted. The ciumsy wheels were of wood, with flat tires, and weighed 150 pounds. The manufacturer who first started the business of making wheels in America sent a representative to New York, who rode one of the wbeels around Union Square, got arrested and was fought for by Editor Dana. The bicycle was much better than the velocipede, but very clumsy. The evolu- tion from the high'wheel to the low one was rapid, and as soon as the safety was put on the market the bicycle fever began which is to-day raging through the coun- try. Last year fully 400,000 wheels were made in America, and there are 500 con- cerns of importance making them. There are 1200 makes of wheels to select from. The standard price of the safety, so long as the present demand continues, will be §100. People think this is too much, as the cost of making a high-grade wheel is not over $30, but when store rentals, ad- vertising and manufacturing expenses are considered the profit is not a very large one on each mncgine. i Martin, Mrs. J. E. Hartley, Miss Josie MARKS THE HOURS Local Pride of the School Children of San Mateo County. A BIG ENTERTAINMENT. How the Young Folks Played and Sang to Swell the Clock Fund. GRAND PATRIOTIC TABLEAUX. The Assembly Hall Was Crowded With Delighted Spectators of a Memorable Event. REDWOOD CITY, CaL, April 27.— San Mateo County is proud of her school children, preud of their handsome new Grammar School building at Redwood City, proud of the big town clock that sur- mounts it, and prouder still of the 200 or more children and their teachers who gave the big entertainment at Assembly Hall to-night to swell the fund that is being raised to pay for that clock. On_a clear day—of which there are an abundance in S8an Mateo County—that big clock under the cupola of the Grammar School is visible for miles around, and at quite long range—from every point in Redwood City at leasi—the hands of the big clock are plainly seen as they mark off the hours. Of course, that clock cost a lot of money —over $1000, it is said—and it surmounts as fine a schoolhouse u#s there is any- where, one, indeed, that cost a cool $40,000. The building was erected at public ex- pense and was finished some time ago. Baut the clock is not quite a month old. It was added by the school children aud by private donations of the citizens of Red- wood and vicinity. Itis too early to say just how nearly complete that clock fund is _just now, but itis generally believed that the money realized by the school children’s grand entertainment to-night will almost, if not quite, supply the last dollar needed to pay for the clock. And it is for this reason that San Mateo County is just now so proud of those 200 children and their teachers, who played and sang and posed and drilled with such great success. i Assembly Hall is in the school building, and so were a great many more people than could possibly crowd into the hall, albeit the hall is very spacious on ordinary occasions. But this was no ordinary occa- sion. For weeks the big event has been in the process of incubation. Principal G. P. Hartley and his corps of nine effi- given much credit for the success of the entertainment. But tbis credit bestowed does not detract from the even greater credit and esteem with which the children who really gave the performance are regarded. Mr. Hartley’s assistants are Miss Mary Stewart, Miss Lizzie Hall, Hanly, Miss Nellie Cloud, Miss Ida Finger and Miss Sallie Nelson. In the same building the Sequoia High School is also quartered. This is led by Professor David A. Curry, assisted by Miss Meyer, and, of course, both of these were enthu- siastic aids in to-night’s big event. Assembly Hall was beautifully decor- ated by natural green things and flowers, contributed by the children. When the curtain rang up on the first scene there was a great floral shoe filled with children | of all ages and sizes, but all of them grin- ning and happy. It was the tableau of “The Old Woman Who Lived in a Shoe,” and pretty Jennie Winne, as the owner of the shoe and all those babes in it, tried to look old and sour, but made a most agreeable failure of it. The names of the little ones who posed as the children with which the old woman ‘didn’t know what to do’ are as follows: Alice Holden Helen Doyle Carl Kolcheske Carlton Weeden Josie Kreiss Leland Beer Viola Sahlby Mattie Barrett Lulu Beeger Oscar Sahiby May Durham Mura Wilcox Alex Hansen Hazel Winter Frankie Grimenstein | John Wymann Frankie Thompson May Lovie After the “0ld Woman” had “whipped them all soundly and sent them to bed,” the programme proceeded as follows: Song, “Sleigh Bells”. ..School Extglct from Webste: .

The journey of the venerable old chiei- tain, Red Cloud, as chairman of the dele- gation of Pine Ridge Sioux which wili visit Washington to lay the grievances of the Sioux nation before the ‘Great Father,” will doubtless be the closing event of Red Cloud’s remarkable career. This famous chief is approaching his eightieth birthday, is growing quite feeble, and considers this his last opportunity to visit the National capital, as he has within the last few weeks expressed a desire to once more shake hands with the Great Father (meaning the President of the United States), and then return to his reservation to die. This “last visit” will be in conformity with what is a recognized practice among’ many members of the Sioux nation, who, however, being of lower rank than Red | Cloud, are satisfied to make their last visit include their agency only. Instances are known where old Indians, who felt that their days were numbered, arose from sick- beds for the purpose of making final visits to the agency, and thus show their good- will toward the agency authorities, Red Cloud is certainly the greatest Indian of modern times, and the last of a long line of famous chiefs. He is the he_aq chief of the entire Sioux nation, com- prising about 20,000 persons, and ranks in the same line of chiefs as Powhattan, Osceola, Bluck Hawk, Geronimo and others prominent in history. Red Cloud dunnrfilqtg years has given his efforts toward civilization, and because he wears ordinary white man’s clothesand because some of the sub-cniefs stick to paint_and feathers, he has been considered in a wrong light b;{the superficial reader. But | nevertheless, Red Cloud is far ahead of any and all of them, being the absolute ruler of the whole Sioux nation.—St. Paul Pioneer-Press. _The pneumatic system for the transmis- sion of messages is utilized to a much lar- §exj extent in Paris than it is in London. tis now proposed to employ the pneu- matic tube to convey all letiers from the ——————— The Washington Monument is 555 feet from base to tip, Instrumental musi Frank Indig Sash drill and tableaux Mattie Jordan Ella McNulty Mabel McNamara Jessie Gilbert Hettie Ailen Rubie Wiison - Dagmar Hynding Lulu Knight Ol einer municipal postoffices to the railway sta- :?:;-s‘.so'l"la&-bhnt will cost rather more $12.50 TAN COVERT and TAN CLOTH, SILK LINED, VELVET COLLAR, BOX JACKETS, RIPPLE BACK, The very swellest jacket in the city.
