4 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SATURDAY, MAY 9, 1896. L0S ANGELES' FRIDAY CLUB, A Flourishing Organization of Prominent and Brainy Women. PHILANTHROPIC WORK. Artists, Authors, Newspaper and Magazine Writers in the Ranks. PRACTICALLY A LECTURE CLUB Mr. J. C. Harvey Entertains the Ladies With a Sketch of His Ideal Tropical Garden. LOS ANGELES, CaL., May 8,—The Fri- day Club, an organization of ladies, with the largest membership of any similar as- sociation on the Pacific Coast, held a regu- lar meeting at its hall on South Broad- way this forenoon. This organization con- tains many of the most prominent and intellectual women of SBouthern California. Many of them are noted for works of char- ity in the community. Amengthe mem- bers may be found artists, authors, news- paper apd magazine writers. A large pro- portion are suffragists. To a CaLL correspondent, who was pres- ent on this occasion, many of the ladies expressed the heartiest approval of the paper’s “new departure.” This associa- tion of splendia women is practically a lecture club. Several gentlemen and ladies of National reputation have lectured be- fore the body on & wide range of topics. These addresses or essays are followed by promiscuous discussion and plying of questions to the speaker. There are few if any “dummies” in the organization, and while many of these ladies are house- wives they believe in mixing braihs with their everyday duties, The officers are: President emeritus, Mrs. C. M. Severance; president, Mrs. J. A, Osgood ; vice presidents, Mrs. W. A. Spald- ing, Mrs. B. C. Whiting; secretary, Mrs. G. H. Wadleigh; treasurer, Mrs. G. M. North. The subject this morning was ‘“A Trop- ical Garden in Southern California and a Few Notes on Orchids,” by J. C. Harvey. Mr. Harvey is president of the Los An- geles Botanical Society and is especially interested in the experimental garden this society has established in Elysian Park in this city. Mr. Harvey has given the col- lection of orchids presented him by John D. Rockefelier to East Side Park, his de- sire to benefit and beautify the city being as great as his love for flowers. The speaker commenced his paper with a little sketch on the threshold of the equatorial region and touched with graphic lights the magnificent beauty of its vege- tation, the color of the beautiful forests, the massive dome-like structure of the trees, the independent growth of para- sites, ferns and numberless aerial plants, and the prodigious influence of warmth and moisture were all shown in high re- lief. Gorgeous bird-winged butterflies, such as the ornithopetera and bapilos,reach their maximum size and beauty here. Of orchids, Mr. Harvey exhibited num- berless plates of these curious and beautiful plants found in Asia, Africa, Peru, Brazil, Mexico, the West Indies, Madagascar aund the adjacent islands. The speaker touched on the extreme beauty of the orchids, the aerial and terrestrial, the former found in hot regions on the banks of streams, and constantly bathed by spray, and the latter in temperate regions. He further delinea- ted the capricious nature of the orchid, its - cnrious structure and habits. This splen- did race of plants owes much of its beauty to the fact that nature abhors self-fertiliza- tion, and in this class of plants at least, has provided marvelous contrivances by which the pollen is protected from the vicissitudes attending other flowers, and ultimately disseminated by the aid of certain insects. Mr. Harvey then turned to the tropical garden, and outlined the beauty that could be produced by the laying out of the same. The ideal gard¢n should not be less than 200 feet front and 200 feet deep. The resi- dence should be built on one side with a wide sweep of sward fn front. The essay and aftertalk were very de- lightfal and greatly enjoyed by the club, the ideal garden portrayed by Mr. Harvey being greatly appreciated by the many lovers of flowers. —_—— BRUTALITY PUNISHED. A Los Angeles Teamster Has to Take His Own Medicine. LO8 ANGELES, Can, May 8—"The mean not afraid to wantonly beat his horses” got his deserts here this morning on South Broadway. G. A. Phelps is the getleman in question. In a most vicious and inexcusable manner he was found by J. E. Kelly belaboring his team with a horsewhip. The good Samaritan protested apainst the crueity, but all in vain. The buman brute said he owned the horses and would do as tarnation pleased. Kelly again urged cessation of “horsetilities” to no purpose; then all of a sudden he snatched the whip from Phelps’ hand and with great zeal applied it over his head and shoulders, and finally compelled him to get into the wagon and accompany Kelly to the police station, where Phelps was turned over to Humane Officer Clark. Phelps admitted that he had done wrong. and further stated that he was ashamed of himself. Mr. Clark was so impressed with Phelps’ sincerity that he allowed him ta 20, and soon after Kelly and Phelps drove off together. Elacic el PASADENA’S BOGUS BARON. He Playe Havoc With the Fair Scx and Hotel- Keepers. LOS ANGELES, Can., May 8.—Pasa- dena bas had an experience with a bogus Baron, who filled several roles with about equal grace and dignity. He was first the son of a great Prussian general. His cheek and pretensions gave him passport into the ‘‘bes t circles,”” and he made court to one of Pasadena’s handsomest young adies, who, until his real character was suspected, gave the claimant to *high title’’ every encouragement, for this par- ticular “Baron” not only sported a legiti- mate title, but was—in his mind, at least —a man of prodigious wealth. But he was & bibulous “Baron,” and had the questicnable habit of forgetting to pay his small bills, including one for board and lodging, to bis accommodating land- lords. This was consid truly baronial, but other things did Pasadena’s Baron which excited grave doubt in the minds of some of the peopl2 with whom he associ- ated regarding his title, and they wrote to certain San Francisco people whose names had been used by him, and the reply was made that his name and title were both unknown. Then toe Baron changed the fiction he related and told his intimates that he was the chief of a great private detective bureau maintained by the A. P. A. in S8an Francisco and New York, his chieftain- ship being of the coast branch. He also claimed to be a detective gathering evi- dence in the Ashley vs. Baldwin seduction case at San Francisco, which is now in the court and in which the Pasadena woman is the plaintiff. He was not “working at it,”” however, his principal occupations being apparently to run up a big hotel bill and pay frantic court to the young lady who would not now accept his suit. Detective Goodwin put in an appearance last Wendnesday evening at the hotel where the Baron lodged and spent the night there. This morning the Baron came to this city and departed just in time to avoid an explosion of parental wrath, if not an expose of a past more or less checkered career. The detectives refuse to divulge his true name on account of his highly honorable family in San Francisco. e o GROUND BE. ATH A CAR. Frightful Death of a Mexican Who Was Bent on Murder. LOS ANGELES, Can, May 8.—As a norihbound Pasadena electric-car was pro- ceeding rapidly along Buena Vista street this evening two Mexicans, one pursued by the other and each with a knife in his hand, attempted to cross the street in front of the car. The first one, Jose Morales, succeeded, but the other, Salas Garcia, was struck by the car, dragged 100 feet and literally ground to pieces. The car was derailed and traffic blocked for an hour while the fragments of Garcia’s body were being got from underneath the trucks. Morales, who started the fight by striking Garcia and then retreating, has been ar- rested. Both men are from Cucomonga. Garcia was forty years old and ha family. R W. C. T. U. Election of Officers. LOS ANGELES, CAL., May 8.—The State Convention of the W. C. T. U. of Southern California, in session at Pomona, elected the following officers for the ensning year: Mrs. N. P. J. Button of Riverside was chosen president; Mrs. Mary E. Garbutt of Los Angeles, vice-president; Miss Ga- brilla T. Stickney of Les Angeles, corre- sponding secretary; Mrs. L. H. Mills of Santa Ana, recording secretary, and Mrs. S. W. Plimpton of Santa Barbara, treas- urer. Miss Stickney said it was not her will to be corresponding secretary for an- other year, and that she had prayed long and earnestly over her acceptance of the office, and with tears in her eyes and with broken voice she asked the convention to pray for her and her work in the next year. Mrs. Brown offered prayer, and when the State song was sung the conven- tion adjourned. g General Mansfield’s Funeral. LOS ANGELES, CaL., May 8.—The’fune- real of General John Mansfield, ex-Lieuten- ant Governor of California who died sud- denly Wednesday morning, todk place to- day from the family residence. Rev. B. W. R. Taylor, rector of 8t. John’s Episcopal Church, conducted the services, A com- mittee of the Bar Association many iriends of the deceased soldier and states- man attended the obsequies. The pall- bearers were Hon. Walter Van Dyke, Hon. R. M. Widney, Dr. W. W. Ross, H. | T. Lee, 8. B. Caswell, Colonel L. H. Mess- | more, J. E. Plater and Professor E. T. Pierce. The remains were taken to Rose- dale Cemetery for cremation in accordance with his oft-expressed wish. TRAGEDIES N SAN JOSE Freeman Butts, Mistaken for a Burglar, Receives a Death Wound. A Mexican Sends a Bullet Through His Breast After Failing to Ki'l His Mistress. SAN JOSE, CaL, May 8.—Freeman Butts, a young man about 20 . years of age, was shot and perhaps fatally wounded by Joseph Guinasso, in the Willows, about 12 o’clock last night. Some two weeks ago a small house on the place was burglarized, and since then Paul Guinasso, a son, has been sleeping in the place,and, unknown to Mr. Guinasso, young Butts has been oc- cupying the place with his son. About midnight Guinasso was aroused by the barking of his dogs and went into the yard with a pistol'in his hand. He saw a light in the house, and on looking throngh the window saw a man who was not his son in the place. He pushed open the ldoor and fired, and as the man fell he recogrnized him as young Butts. Young Guinasso had not yet got home, and Butts 'was preparing to retire. The bulet pene- trated the right lung and lodged under the shoulder. The chances of Butts’ recovery are slim. Guinagso surrenaered himself at the jail, but was allowed to go. ST SUIOPDE OF A MEXICAN, After Attempting to Kill His Mistress, With Whom He Had Quarreled. SAN JOSE, Cal., May 8.—Rey Arcia, a Mexican about 40 years, committed sui- cide at Santa Clara fast evening by shoot- ing himself in the right breast. For several years he has been living with Mrs. M. B. Rodriguez. Yesterday afternoon they came to this city, and on their return home had a row. He fired a shot at Mrs. Rodriguez and missed her. She ran from the house, and he followed her into the vard. He snapped the trigger several times, and placing the revolver against his breast, said: *Now I am going to_die; goodby.” He pulled the trigger and fell, expiring almost instantly. ?t is supposed Arcia thought the weapon was unloaded, and was trying to scare Mrs. Rodriguez. An inquest was held this morning, but nothing was developed leading to the cause of the suicide. e e 70 FORECLOSE A MURTGAGE. Suit Involving a Portion of the San Antonio Ranch. BAN JOSE, CAv., May 8.—The German Savings and Loan Society of San Fran- cisco to-day began suit in the Superior Court against Anais Hale, administrator of the estate of Joseph P. Hale, and other heirs of the latter’s estate, to foreciose a $75,000 mortgage on 1850 acres of land alonz the San Antonio Creek, in this county. The land is part of the San An- tonio rancho. The mortgage was given to secure a note executed by the deceased on May 12, 1891, for $75,000,” bearing inter- est at 7}¢ per cent per annum. Hale, who was a San Francisco capiialist, died in that city on April 13, 1893. The claim was allowed by the Superior Court in San Francisco on June 17, 1893, and a decree of foreclosure and sale is asked. Tl Broadsword Contest at Seattle. BEATTLE, Wasn., May 8.—In the broadsword contest to-night at Armory Hall Baron Iven Malchin, who recently won the world’s championship from Cap- tain E. N. Jennings of this city, bested Rudolph Orn by 11 10 5 out of a possible 21 points.

Remarkable Religious En- thusiasm Evoked by an Evangelist. < MANY NEW CONVERTS. Nearly One Hundred and Fifty Immersed by the Rev. S. M. Martin. KINGS COUNTY INTERESTED. Revival Services at the Christian Church Reopened Last Night—A Persuasive Preacher. HANFORD, Oar., May 8.—For seven weeks Hanford has been in the throes of quite a remarkable religious revival, and last night Revivalist S. M. Martin, atan ex- pense of $20 a lecture, began another sea- sen of his meetings at the Christian church in this city. The Rev. Mr. Martin is advertised as “One of the most successful evangelists in America,” and if his work in Hanford can be teken as an indication of his persuasive powers his press agent has rot availed himself of even the usual license accorded that profession. Heretofore Hanford bas never been famous for its religious zeal, though the city has maintained its fair quota of churches and preachers. But now Hanford is stirred, and an extraordinary interest, even among the non-church goers, is mamifedted in these revival services at the Christian church. In manner and appearance Mr. Martin is the typical revivalist. Hisface is clean- shaven and expressiveiand his long black bair adds strencth to it. His speech is rather deliberate, but always earnest and forcible and often quite eloquent. He has made nearly 150 converts in this city alone and added them all to membership in the Christian Church. Such effective work as this has attracted attention to him from all over the country, and it is quite likely that during the next few nights of his labors here the list will be greatly in- creased. A full list of those who have re- cently joined the Christian cburch, throueh the efforts of the Rev. Mr. Martin, is as follows: Miss C. E. Dayles. Clarence Frazier. Miss Emma Thyarks. |Charley Ludlow. Mrs. B. C. Itjen. John Douglass. che Welborn. [ Mrs. Toylor. te Leggate, | Mrs, Ida Fredericks. Tydale. |Miss Lucy Coats, Miss Lenn Smith. Miss Pearl Barnes.

Among this list are the names of many who have heretofore been known as pro- nounced non-church goers, but now that these and all the others have been im- mersed and become members of the Chris- tian church the people of Hanford are wondering what will happen next. Rev. Joseph 8. Black, pastor of the Christian church, is quite gratified at the work done, and believes that Evaneelist Martin will soon increase the new mem- bership list to over 200. The trustees of the church are Manford Ludlow, B.X. Thornton, J. C, Rice and A. B. Cromwell. The meeting to-night was exceptionally well attended, and there is everything to other California cities. They tend to show that the conduct of Mrs. Dawson while <doing” the various flower festivals in Southern California in 1894 was most ex- emplary; that she did not while in Los Angeles drink with young men, as alleged, but that on the contrary her escort was Mr. Eckstrom, a prominent merchant of that mi and a strong Prohibitionist. Los Angeles has contributed another deposition, which was filed in the Superior Court to-day for plaintiff, Dr. Dawson, that of W.F. Bnr?:er Jr. of Chatsworth Park, Affiant, in his testimony so taken, ractically corroborates that of George insey and wife. e P ANOTHER VJISALIA TRAGEDZX. Result of a Feud Between the San Yups and See Yups. VISALIA, Car., May 8.—How Yue was mortally wounded with a pistol shot in- flicted by Chong Choak about 8 o'clock this evening. As How Yue came out of the Joss house he was met by several China- men. He claims that Cheong John, alias China Joe, passed a pistol to Chong Choak, ordering him to shoot. The assuilants escaped. How Yueis a nephew of the lale Sue Lung of the firm of Sue Cheong Lung Company, the largest Chinese store here. Last night the fires store was set o fire, but it was extinguished by the occupants. How Yue belongs to the San Yups and last year was arrested on a warrant sworn out by a supposed member of the See Yups charging him with murdering a China- man in Bacramento in 1891. At the pre- liminary examination there he was dis- charged. How Yue had a warrant issued for the arrest of the prosecuting witness, but the officers could not_find him, and it is thought that this was the motive for to- night’s crime, e THE WEAVERVILLE MURDER, No New Developments in the Retrial of Van Horn and Crow. WEAVERVILLE, CaL, May 8.—The second day of the retrial of Bayles Van Horn and John Crow has been devoid of ncident and to some extent reminds one of the rehearsal of a play, simply covering ground already gone over. The prosecu- tion are running their witnesses through with great rapidity and have curtailed the testimony of the witnesses introduced by them at the former trial. For a time they deviated from the beaten track, and it looked as if something sensational was going to happen when William Espey was called to the stand and questioned re- garding his conversation with Joseph Gregory, it evidently being the purpose of the prosecution toendeavor to show a con- spiracy the result of which was Jack Lit- tlefield’s death. BETURNS FROM JUNEAL A Portland Man Says That Everything Is Booming Up There. Didn't See a Beggar or Idle Man, and Miners Are Making $10 a Day. PORTLAND, Or., May 8.—C. S. Mc Duffee has just returned from a business trip to Juneau, Alaska. He says things up there are livelier than in the days of '49, “It is all nonsense for people to say that men are coming away from Alsska because they can’t find employment,” said Mr. McDuffee. “I didu’t see a beg- gar nor an idle man in all the time I was there. Every boat brings great throngs of men, who start for Circle City the next day and spread about through the gold fields. A laborer can get $10 a day for his work when he gets up there, and there is plenty of work for all who go. Junean is the liveliest city I ever saw., There are about 2000 peopleand thirty-eight saloons. The people—men, women and children— sleep most of the day and sit up celebrat- ing almost all night. All nationalities are represented, and gambling-houses, dance halls, etc., ran in full blast. Every hotel is packed as full as it will hold, and every steamer that comes in is loaded to the gunards. % To get to the mines from Juneau takes about six weeks. The inlet must be first crossed to Dyea, about 100 miles. From there there is & walk of forty miles across the mountains to the headwatrsof the Yukon, dragging provisions and outfit on sledges, either by band or with dogs. Each party takes about six months ora year’s provisions, a sheetiron stove and a whipsaw. **When the Yukon is reached the whip- saw is brought into requisition. Trees are felled and ripped up into rough lumber and a boat is built. After that tne trip is an easy one, for all the party has to do is to get into the boat and tloat down the Yukon to the gold fields. “The Northwest Trading Company has a steamer up there, with which it expects to take people around the Aleutian penin- sula and thus into the mouth of the Yukon; butthe steamer,the S.8. Weir, is frozen in the ice near the mouth of the river, and it is a question whether they will ever get her out. The people are pouring into Juneau from all directions, bat there seems to be no danger of over- crowding. The only mistake people make is to go up without "an outtit, and unless they have one they cannot possibly get across the mountains to the Yukon.” ity R e JACK, THE STRANGLER. Waives Preliminary Examination and Is Commatted to Jail. PORTLAND, Og., May 8.—John R. Cos- grove, the thug, who attempted to strangle to death Marie Levillie, a French courte- san, on the night of April 28, declined a preliminary examination in the Municipal Court and has been committed to the County Jail pending the action of the indicate that the interest of Hanford people in the revival movement will not soon die out. s THRILLING AND SUBLIME, 4 Sea Captain Describes a Folcano on the South American Coast. SEATTLE, Wasn., May 8.—A voleano near Hilo, on the South American coast, is reported to be in active eruption by Cap- tain Birkholm of the American schooner 8. F. Redfield. Upon her return trip from Honolulu, whither she had taken a cargo of lumber, the Redfield was headed toward the South American coast, and she passed within a few miles of the group of islands where volcanic eruptions caused such ex- citement in 1889, ptain Birkbolm says he couid plainly hear a subterranean rumbling. The volcanic mountain is coni- cal in form, ana flames and smoke broke fortia from the very top, which is contrary to former eruptions of this mountain. “The sight was most thrilling and sub- lime,” the captain said, “‘and the flames re- sembled a great bonfire lighting up theen- tire sky. &bile no lives were lost, the dis- turbance was a violent one. Thelasterup- tion of the mountain came from the side, and in this instance through the openings so formed great streams of lava flowed down toward the beach.” R SEATTLE DIVORCE CASE. Numerous Depositions Filed in Favor of Mrs. Dawson. SEATTLE, WasH., May 8.—Some twenty depositions ana aflidavits favorabie to the defendant, Mrs. Mamie C. Dawson, in the Dawson divorce case, were procured by her counsel, ex-Mayor J. T. Ronald, who has just returned from San Francisco and Grand Jury. The detectives say that Cos- grove has the most forbidding eyes they ever gazed into. The longer one looks into them the more proof they furnish of the p ossessor’s nature. Detective Welsh remarked that were Cosgrove half as zood a man physically as himself he would no take chances of going anvwhere with him in a friendly way even, as he believes the fellow to have as much a mania for murder as had the mon- ster Holmes, who yesterday was hanged in Philadelphia. “This fellow,”” said Mr. Welsh, “‘comes nearer being the San Francisco strangler than any man yet arrested down there for the tenderloin district murders. His photographs will be finished to-day, and early next weak we shall hear whether or not he has been identified by the Nan Francisco detectives. “Beyond his confession to having at- tempted to strangle the French woman, merely to observe her dying struggles, and to see how she would appear after death, Cosgrove will not talk much. Buthe seems to gloat over his miorbid hng. and heis not a bit insane either. e did say, though, on being hard pushed that during the past few months he has been in San Francisco and en the sound.” This forencon Chief Minto received a telephone message from Dr. Wall at Van- couver, Wash., informing him that a little over a month ago he caused rove's confinement in the Steilacoom asylum to prevent bim from committing just such a crime for which he is now under arrest. He remained in the asylum less than four weeks and must have come here at once to commit murder. Cosgrove was not very well known in Vancouver, but Dr. Wall believes him to beastrangling mono- maniac. This fact strengthens im- pression of the police that he is the man wanted in San Francisco. MADERA ESCAPES ELUDE PURSUERS, Tracked by the Officers to a Point on the Fresno River. THE BUCKBOARD FOUND. A Breakdown Compels the Out- laws to Resort to Horse- back Riding. BLOODHOUNDS FOR THE CHASE. Trained Animals From Missouri Are Expected to Run Down the Fugitives. MADERA, CAL.,, May 8.—William Lave- rone and Jack Roberts have not been cap- tured yet, and everything seems to indi- cate that they do not intend to be until they have exhausted all avenues of escape. The officers succeeded in tracking them north across Fresno River and then east, where they drove into and up the stream for some distance, driving out of the river on the south side and taking the old Dust- heimer road which leads to Bates, the place in which they were first captured. About thirteen miles from town the offi- cers found the buckboard in which the outlaws had been making their escape, where 1t had been broken down and they had been compelled to abandon it. The buckboard had been left in the mid- dle of the road with the harness and the prisoners had then resorted to riding horseback. The officers thought the horse had been undoubtedly run all the way, and if the chase was kept up they would at last wear him out and compel tkem to take to their teet. Deputy Sheriff Timmins brought up some bloodhounds yesterday afternoon from Fresno to join in the hunt, and, if a trail is found, the dogs will be scented, and in this manner it is hoped they will be able to locate the outlaws. The bloodhounds have been imported from Missouri, and have been in Fresno something over a year, where they have been in training. They have shown them- selves to be able to do some clever trailing, but this will be their first experience in trailing outlaws, and they will be given a chance to show what they can do in a practical manner. Timmins and his party started out last night, and they expect the hunt to begin in earnest to-day, when Sheriff Westfall will be relieved. When last heard of Westfall was about four hours behind on the trail, and it is not unlikely that he has overtaken his men by this time. CHIMPION THRET SHOT Fred Gilbert Wins the Honors at the Clay-Pigeon Tour- nament. Captures a Valuable Trophy in Ad- dition to Rich Stakes in Money. GUTTENBURG, N. J., May 8. — Fred Gilbert of Spirit Lake, Iowa, won the title of “‘champion target shot of America' at the initial clay pigeon champion tourna- ment which was concluded here this after- noon. Gilbert broke 266 out of a possible 300 “flying’’ tareets, defeating E.D. Ful- ford of Utica, N. Y., and J. A. R. Elliott of Kansas City, who tied for second place with 261 biras each. Roilo Heikes of Day- tom, Ohio, finished fourth with a total of 258 broken. The final struggle was very close, with two events to decide the winner. The score read: Fulford 228, Gilbert 227, Elliott 225 and Heikes 224. The Kansas City man had the worst luck in the semi-final event and only scored 18 out of a possible 25. Gilbert broke 22, Heikes 21 and Fulford 20. The score was then: Gilbert 249, Fuliord 248, Heikes 245 and Elliott 243. For the first few pairs in the deciding event the issue was still in doubt. Elliott was shooting doubles in great form, but his low record in the expert rule left him snclically out of the race. Gilbert guickly rew away from Fulford and Heikes, killing 17 pairs to_their 13, and won the chnmpiomhiwmid great applause. Captain A. W. Money, one of the pro- moters of the tournament, made a short ::E"ch' and presented Gilbert with the ampionship cup. The trophy is a hand- some silver cup valued at and will be held subject to challenge at dne notice. The winner is a well-known_live-bird shot in the West. He won the Dupont cup at the big shoot at Balumore last October. In addition to the title and trophy Gilbert won about $500 the tournament, and had the best general average—643—on the four days’ shoot. Fulford’s average of 636 was second best, and Elliott came next with 624. Heikes was close on with a gen- eral average of 620. S P BAD FOR THE FAVORITES. Bookies Win Heavily on the Eastern Tracks.

MONTEREY 10 CELEGRTE Semi-Centennial Jubilee of the American Occupation of California. Military and Naval Demonstration Such as the Coast Never Saw Before Is Promised. MONTEREY, CAr., May 8.—The execu- tive committee of the Society for the Semi- Centennial Celebration of the American Occupation of California has issued the following circular: N\ We are preparing to celebrate in Monterey what is virtually the founding of one of the great empires of modern times—the Pacific States of the American Union. England bad her jubilee when Victoria celebrated the fiftieth year of her accession to the throne; Italy hers in the fiftie th year of the pontificate of Pio Nono. California, this year of her jubllee, com- memorates & fact of much greater importance and significance. We are communication with our National authorities in regard to the grandest military’ and naval pageant this coast has yet witnessed, on sea sund shore of Monterey Bay on the 6th and 7th of July next. We aleo expect such a civiec demonstration as shall be somewhat commensurate with the greatness of the event celebrated—the Ameri- can occupation of California. The anniversary of the first raising of the old flnf of the Union over this State should assur- edly inspire the most ardent feelings in the hearts of ail Californians. We ask all to unite with us, responsive to the old motte, “United we stand,” and make this & grand occasion worthy to be remembered eternally in our an- nals, ‘We want such cordial help and assist- ance as shall make the occasion monumental as our stamp and seal that we approve and appreciate the work of our own hands in build- ing up this glorious Western adaition to the American Union, We think that California can afford to spend aday or two in admiring herself, in jubilee and jubilation and jollity. To this énd we want (o make our celebration as free as possi- ble to all comers. We are not aiming st any catch-penny carnival or flower fiesta. Monterey is the place where the events trauspired; Monterey is therefore the place chosen for their commemoration. The occa- sion is really Nationsl. What Nation might not jultly.srlde itseli on such a magnificent Western addition? What Nation would not jubtlate over such an event? But Monterey is poor. Millionaires are not 80 thick as mushrooms here. We ask, then, some of those who havencguired wealth in this State to give freely of their abundance that their less favored neighbors may have a onal&ns and a lifelong memory of a delight- ul California jubilee. Contriputions wiil be gladiy lcknwledslfl& carefully disbursed and faithfully accounte {or, and may be sent to the Bank of Monterey. In her corporate capacity Monterey has nobly seconded the labors of the local com- Inittee, the Veterans of the Mexivan War, the Sloat Monument Association, the ploneers and other bodies engaged in this Enu-!nuc ‘move- ment by unanimously voting the sum of $500 {rom the municipal treasuey toward defraying the expenses requisite to make everything 1Iree to our visitors di jubilee week. tru. '?o not ask the fnxen dnl‘:m‘n: the me- 0] co-operate with us giving ce in their ecl-mg: for the publication omu letter that all the world may know what we lll‘e doing m:‘ propose to do? For the sxeous tive committee: T. J. FreLp, President, S. J. DUCKWORTH, seeretn:‘y EDWARD BERWICK, Gener: Manager. e Kid on the Warpath. TOMBSTUNE, As1z., May 8.—The “Kid" and his band of murderous Apaches are again on the warpath, three of the best known citizens of this county having been kllled by them a few days ago, closs to the Mexican line. They are F. 8. Reid, a cattle-raiser of prominence in the Territory, who has re- sided for years on Cave Creek, aged 65 vears, and Gus Wisner, foreman for Reid. Another victim was one of the Hand boys, a brother of the young man who was so brutally murdered and mautilated by the redskins 2 month or so ago. NEZW TO-DAY. How Different Men Are To-Day. In the olden times, so we are told, men spent most of their time fighting for coun- try or for love of the primi- tive maid, whose beauty was of that womanly sort which inspired in the heart of her manly lover such a passion that he thoughtit a pleasure to die for her. In those days men were not faint-hearted nor weak- nerved. They did not know of the ruinous habits which are re- sponsible for our weak, de- bilitated men of to-day—the habits which drain from the body all the energy, ambi- tion and courdge of manhood: Excesses, dissipations, youthful folly—all tend to wear out manhoed: Being contrary to the laws’ of na- ture, they sap the very foun- dation, the heart of manly vigor, and leave only the shell, the nerveless, empty frame—empty of the life and energy of manhood. “I would give all I possess in this world to be able to live my life for the past ten years vver again,” wrote a correspondent to Dr. Sanden recently. He expresses.the feelings of many sufferers who come to Dr. Sanden for aid. And do they come in vain? ) ‘I owe my very existence to your wonderful belt,” says J. W. Nunes, Niles, Ala- meda County, Cal. Dr. Sanden’s Electric Belt aids weak men by giving them new vital power. Elec- tricity soaking into the nerves for three to six hours every day or nightfills them with vitality and restores manhood. “Your Electric Belt cured me of Seminal Weakness two years ago, and I am still praising it,” J. M. Hubbard, Westminster, Orange Conn- ty, Cal. Dr. Sanden’s Electric Belt is the only one made that is suited to the treatment of weak men. It isapplied in a special manner for this spe- cial trouble, and it gives an energy to the weak parts within a few days. Italways causes a permanent restora- tion of vital power in three months. If you are weak send for Dr. Sanden’s book, ‘“Three Classes of Men,” free, sealed, without marks. Consulta- tion free. | SANDEN/ELECTRIC CO., 630 Market Street, San Francisco, Oppostte Paiace Hdel.
