10 THE SA FRANCISCO CALL, FRIDAY, MAY 15, 1896. BOARD OF TRADE HOUSE-WARMING. The New Quarters Are Thrown Open With Great Eclat. INFORMAL PROGRAMME. Address by the Secretary of the Department of Agri- culture. PECPLE WHO WERE THERE. Members Do Not Allow Their Throng of Visitors to Go Away Hungry or Thirsty. If “California on Wheels'’ were to be amplified and magnified and multiplied a few hundred times, it wonld barely ap- proach the beauty and completeness of the grand display thrown open to the public yesterday at the new headquarters of the State Board of Trade at 16 Post street. It was “opening day,” and the board had evidently planned to render its house- varming a success. opening exercises began with a idress of welcome from Manager “We have no set programme,” he said, “and to my mind it seems hardly neces- sary that there one. Allaround us we have object lessons far more elo- quent than any spoken words could be.” P ient Chipman next gave a succinct history of the State Board of Trade since its organization in August, 1887. “The board,” he said, *“was and still 1s a voluntary association. in 1889 it was incorporated under the laws of the State of California, but has never been operated or mamntained by the State. Yet we have not made such & very bad showing. Our two moving exhibits known as ‘California on Wheels’ challengad unstinted admira- tion in the Eastern States, over 1,000,000 persons registering on the visitors’ books uring the last trip.” Colonel John P. Irish, the next speaker, made & few remarks on the lines suggested by tresident Chipman, after which he said: fortunate that on this occasion we n us an old friend of mineand a most distinguished guest. We have here a man who has changed the climate and improved the soil of his native State of Nebraska by a magnificent system of arti- ficial forests, and to whom the Nation is indebted for the annual celebration of Arbor day. I refer to the Hon. J. Stirling Morton, Secretary of the United States Department of Agricultare.” A burst of cordial applause greeted Mr. Morton as he rose in answer to Colonel Irish's rather flowery introduction. When quiet had been restored he said : Amid the speaking trophies of your State’s tropic luxuriance which surround us on every band we wouid, perhaps, do well to consider for a moment a cold, hard fact. Irefer to the matter of value. What is the value of what we see about We know in the first place that fine fruitis usually in greet demand. This is & great point in favor of California, for th uct is in+proportion to the demand. If the de- mand be urgent the value is high: if the de- mand declines value is decreascd and if the demand ceases value dies. Now in order to secure & flourishing foreign and Eastern market for Californian fruits it must be borne in mind that in the United Eiales there are 1,500,000 people engaged in growing fruit for exportation. Hence for Cali- fornian fruit to succeed in foreign markets only the best should be sent. In London there s always 8 demand forsfine table fr he better grades of Californian fruits are far superior to the English hothouse product and can always command a ready and remunerative sale. ln 1895 fruit from Cali- fornia met with brilliant success in the Eng- lish and Continental markets. Tomy mind the reputation of Californian fruits should be kept up to a high standard. For the London markets fet only the finer specimens be chosen, and these carefully wrapped in thin paper to prevent possible transmission of decay. If this plan be fol- lowed carefully and conscientiously the Cali- fornian fruit-grower need have no fear that bis products will lack a ready market, The liberal installment of sound busi- ness sense which, by the way, was borne out by volumes of statistics, brought the programme to & close. The speakers, members of the board and a few specially invited gueste adjourned to a sky-parlorin the rear of the rooms, whence shortly pro- ceeded sounds of popping corks, chinking glasses and rattling plates. The less favored guests betook them- selves to the sideboard, where they found & most substantial weicome, or wandered about the rooms gazing at the various objects of interest. Some of the displays were unique as well as effective. That of the Board of Trade, which is to form part of the permanent exhibit, is a reduced model of the Ferris wheel, about twenty-five feet in diameter, the winging cars being of cut glass and filled with dried frnits, cereals and other products. The wheel rests upon a hand- some platform of native woods arranged in a most intricate and graceful mosaic pattern and surrounded by feathery palm trees. Another very striking feature of the dis- play is a towering obelisk, thirty-five feet 10 height, composed of bottles containing native olive oil. The bottles are sustained by an airy framework of gilded iron, and the obelisk looks like a monument com- posed of suspended drops of molten gotd. A complete collection of native woods along the western wall of the main office attracted much attention. Samples of the various woods are given side by side in the rough, and after having been polished the contrast in many instances is striking. Near 'by is an eagle, measuring ten feet from tip to tip, composed altogether of raisins strung on invisible wires. It is difficult to single out the county ex- hibits deserving of special mention. Each has some feature of particular interest. For example, the displays of minerals irom Placer, Nevada and Calaveras coun- ties are fully equeled in merit and inter- est by the lavish wealth of oranges, lem- ons, grapes and olives from Los Angeles, Fresno and Santa Cruz. Los Angeles also contributes specimens of native coal and mineral oil. Silk, raw, manufactured and on cocoons is exhibited by the counties of Los Angeles, Glenn and half a dozen others, whiie Mendocino contributes some samples of lambs’ wool fully as soft and fine as any silk. A feature of Yolo’s dis- play is a large glass jar of enormous onions, while Santa Cruz contributes a profusion of luscious though fiery chiles of that sort known in Spain as “pobrots,” a variety indigenous to Catalonia, but which has been found to flourish 1n South- 4rn California. Alameda has a graceful pyramid of fruits, wines and flowers, while Tehama sports the State coat-of-arms in a mosaic of vari-colored grains, flanked at either side by a star composed of prunes. Solano contributes some particularly fine cherries and chestnuts, Contra Costa some jars of giant asparagus, Napa a flower-wreathed pyramid of wine, Sacramento the State seal in dried fruits, Santa Ciara a pyramid of fruits and olive oil; but the listis too value of a prod- long, and justice has not been done to even one of the exhibits.

Craig and Johnson, Old-Timers, Given Ten Years Each—How the Crooks W.re Trailed and Captured. Secret Service Agent Harris returned yesterday from Spokane, where he was called three weeks ago to assist in loca- ting and capturing if possible a dangerous gang of counterfeiters that for months past had been flooding that section with spurious coin. In less ihan fifteen days Mr. Harris ac- complished very good results—he located the gang, effected their capture and saw each of them given ten years in the State prison. ‘When the special agent arrived in Spo- come, and in a short time he was thor- oughly familiar with the task before him. He knew the places victimized and to what extent, and he was also familiar with the record of every known criminal within a dozen miles of Spokane. At theend of two days Agent Harris settled on George Craig and Fred Johnson as the counterfeiters and a close watch was kept on their every movement. On the third day Harris and some of bhis men trailed Craig to a little cabin some dis- tance from Spokane. When night came the place was surrounded and a formal de- mand to surrender made. Craig and Johnson made a dash for lib- erty only to run plump into the arms of awaiting officers. On the person of Craig was found $18 in half and dollar counter- feits, while Johnson’s pockets contained some of the material used in manufactur- ing the spuricus coin. ’%’ne cabin was searched and a complete counterfeiting outfit unearthed. Craig and Johnson were indicted by the Grand Jury on the day following their arrest and in afew days tried, convicted and sentenced to ten years’ hard labor. When the verdict of guilty was announced the two men created a scene in court by cursing the officers and swearing venge- ance. The convicted counterfeiters are tough customers. Craig has served three terms in prison already and had only been out three months when caught. Johnson has nearly as bad a record. Five months before his arrest and conviction he com- pleted 2 five-year sentence for burglary. Secret Service Agent Harris received many congratulations yesterday for his successful work, It isconceded by those who keep track of such things to be one of the cleverest captures recorded in years. ——————— REAL ESTATE AUCTION. Sale Held by rell & Co. There was & good attendance and spir- ited bidding at the second auction sale of real estate held this season by O'Farrell & Co. The prices realized were very good, considering the condition of the market. H. E. Coffey acted as auctioneer, and ac- quitted himself with credit, as he did at the former sale of the firm.

A Successful O’Far- kane he had a long conference with the | local authorities at whose request be had | FIFTY COUNCILS OF CATHOLICS, They Will Be Represented by Delegates at Haywards IN Y. M. I. CONVENTION. The Order Gains in Members Though Eight Branches Dissolved. FINANCES ARE MUCH IMPROVED Full Delegation From the New Pacific Jurisdiction of California and Nevada. More than fifty councils will be repre- sented in the Grand Council of the Young Men’s Institute, which convenes at Hay- wards next week. Of these branches of the Catholic benevolent society four were instituted during the year, one each in 8an Mateo, Santa Rosa, Ocean View and Walla Walla., For the first time in the history of the institute there will be no delegates from the Northwest. This innovation is due to the fact that the Supreme Council, re- cently held in Denver, made a new juris- diction on the Pacific Coast, to be known as the Northwestern jurisdiction, and to include Washington, Oregon, Montana and British Columbia. The convention at Hhaywards will therefore be composed of delegates from California and Nevada, comprising the Pacific Coast jurisdiction, as follows: Eureka Council, Eureka, Cal.—Archie Can- eps, L.

In the Pacific jurisdiction eight small councils in remote” country districts were dropped by the grand directors because they ceased to be self-sustaining. They had an average of twenty members each, =0 the dissolution represents a loss in membership of about 160, Despite this, however, according to Grand Secretary Stanley, the jurisdiction will show a net increase 1n membership of 150 since the general Grand Council heid at Vallejo Isst September. The financial statement of the institute in this jurisdiction will show a gain of a few thousand dollars, which is quite evenly distributed among the councils. ATTACKED BY A MONKEY, Damages From the City Wanted for Peculiar Injuries. Edward Horan is suing the City for $10,- 000 damages for some peculiar injuries which befell his little daughter. He lives just opposite the public Pound. On April 29 last, he says, there were several monkeys confined in the Pound after having been canght in the street, and one of these escaped, Pearl Horan, the 4- year-old daughter of the plaintiff, was playing on the porch and the monkey attacked her. She was badly bitten and torn before help could reach her. J. d RACING CHART. Bay District Track. Thirteenth day.

RACING AT BAY DISTRICT Three Favorites Finished Front the Opening Day of the Meeting. in REY DEL BANDIDOS A SURPRISE Dunboy Is a Promising Youngster. Marble Rock First in a Very Exciting Finish. The gallopers are playing their final en- gagement at the old Bay District track. ‘With the close of the present two weeks’ season of sport the course over which so many historic equine contests have been decided will live in memory only, for the home of the California Jockey Club wall soon be leveled by eraders and cut up into building blocks. There was apparently no diminution in attendance, the regulars all being at their posts. The sport was very good. In one or two instances horses dia not run strictly according 1o “*dope,’”” but then it is rapidly approaching the ‘‘get-away” period, and many little things will have to be over- looked. Favorites started in the day well by cap- turing the first three events decided, while in the remaining three a fourth and two second choices in the betting showed to better advantage. Good riders are rapidly becoming scarce. In the saddle vesterday Piggott and Coady were the bright particular stars, the former piloting three and the latter two of the winning horses. About the most class was gathered to- gether in the mile and a quarter handicap with a field of six starters. It was a very rapid betting affair and the result was most unsatisfactory to the talent. Scimi- tar, carrying 90 pounds, was a primell to 5 choice, with G. B. Morris at 4 and St. Lee at about the same figure carrying the bulk of the other coin bet. Lumbering along at a very slow rate, the field allowed Rey del Bandidos to go out and make his own pace, with the fa- vorite up in the second position. In the stretch all sail was spread, but the big chestnut leader held his company safe, winning easily by a couple of lengths in 2:1117, Coady, who was bard at work on G. B. Morns, snatched the place from Scimitar in the last few jumps. There was quite & gathering of the cheap set in the opening olio at five and a half furlongs. Silver State looked to outclass her field very much and was rightly made a warm favorite, going to the postalto2 chance. Fleet, with Charley Weber up, led to the drawgate, when the first choice passed him, followed by the 25 to 1shot, Chinook. With little to spare, the favor- ite won from the outsider by a length. The Lone stable’s promising youngster Dunboy was a pronounced 6 to 5 choice for the two-year-old four-furiong run, and shooting to the front the first sixteenth won cleyerly, three parts of a length be- fore Dolore, the second choice. The seven-furlong run that followed roved a cakewalk for the Cambridge sta- Ele's Red Glena, heavily played by the wise contingent. Opening at 7 to 5 the odds against the gelding were speedily played down to 9 to 10. Belle Boyd at 234 com- manded quife a following, but madea and failing back to last position the favor- ite passed Meadow Lark and Model in the stretch and romped in the easiest of win- ners. Model experienced no trouble in taking the place from Meadow Lark. The finish to the fifth race over a mile was a very close one. When the odds against the seven starters were posted it soon developed that Hermanita was just the right number, and from twos the grice was pounded down to 6to 5. Inju- iciously ridden through the stretch by Martin, the good thing was beaten out the last few yards by the 13 to 5 second choice Long Lady, who was away none too well, and ran a splendid race. The distance was covered in 1:423{. Ten selling platers started in the final five and a hali furlong scramble, and the finish was about the closest and most ex- citing of the day. A big plunge was made on the Hennepin stable’s Marble Rock when the odds were chalked up, and it proved such a hot end stall tip that the pencilers gradually rubbed to 7 to 5. At the close a stronz play on America brought her odds down to 8 to 5, while the price against Marble Rock went back toll to5. In a finely drawn finish the latter got the decision over Mt. Air by a nose, with America but a head away. THREE-DOLLAR "PHONES, The New Company Has Modified Its Demands for a Fran- chise. Switches Will Be Three Cents and the City Wi'l Get Forty Free Machines. The Street Committee of the Board of Supervisors decided yesterday to recom- mend that the franchise asked by the People’s Mutual Telephone Company should be advertised for sale to the highest bidder, certain alterationsin the original ordinance having been made at the suggestion of the members. General Robert A. Friedrichs appeared before the committee as a representative of the company and stated that inasmuch | as some of the provisions of the ordinance | as originally proposed by his company had not been acceptable, he was ready to : make all reasonable concessions and had full power to act. He stated that the com- pany was perfectly willing to have $3 fixed as the maximum charge per month in- stead of $5, and that the City would be al- lowed 40 free telephones instead of 20, as originally proposed. \ > In regard to switches, he stated that while the company would like to be par- mitted to charge 5 cents for each switch, it would agree to 3 cents if the committee so desired. After the general had retired the com- mittee discussed the proposition of adver- tising the franchise for sale and the mi mum amount to be charged for it. Super- visor Spreckels was in favor of placing the amount at $10,000, while the other mem- bers thought that $1000 would be sufficient, | Mr. Sprekels lowered his estimate to $5000, but his colleagues were obdurate and the minimum of $1000 was decided on, Mr. Spreckels dissenting. It was decided to give the company two years in which to get its plant in runniug order, and with | the changes agreed to by the company’s representative, it was agreed to recom- mend the passage of the ordinance. | e { A hen belonging to Joseph Bishop, on | Licking River, neax Pleasant Valley, Ky., | discovered a large bird’s nest in the top of | an apple tree, and flew up in the tree and miserable showing. After being cut off deposited an egg in the nest. “THE CALL’S” To-Day’s Entries at California Jockey Club’s Bay District Track. RACIING GUIDE.

The Most Precious Ele- ment of Our Physical Being. You do Not Know How to Appre- ciate It Until You Have Lost It. How It Can be Regained. There are three stages of lost manhood: First, the ab- sence of manly power. Sec- ond, loss of ambition,energy, business and social ability. Third, loss of memory, dull- ness of vision, dullness of intellect, and in the end but one result—nervous debility. Lack of manhood is the lack of the one thing that makes life worth living. The possessor of a vigorous man- hood does not appreciate its worth. When he loses it by excesses or indiscretions he then begins to realize what a grand element it is; how much his happiness—yes, his very existence—depends upon it. When a man is broken down in his vital powers as a rule he is not the only one | who suffers. Others, family, friends; those who enjoy his {company and protection, no- tice the depression in his | spirits, thelack of ambition, Avbrevistions—F., fast; Fa., fair: H., heavy: m., mile; 1., furlong; *, about. 1 dogged disposition, nagging, irritable temperament. It makes all who come in con- |tact with him unhappy. Let the reader understand that all this misery comes from the loss of nerve force— that element which is the well spring of all joy, of all mental and physical pleas- ure. It isthe loss of this nerve force that leaves the mind and body weak; and causes the sufferer to feel that the best of his life has been spent. To replace the force and strength of the nerves we must use Electricity—not drugs—as Electricity forms the basis of all animal life: It is the nerve force, the life of the nerves, and the life of all nervous and vital organs increases when Electricity is applied in mild, soothing currents, as it is from Dr. Sanden’s Electric Belt. It is hard to convince some people of the value of this great Electric Belt, forevery sufferer knows too well the great amount of frand and deception which is practiced by makers of a cheap grade of belts, and how these char- latans impose them on the public with the announce- ment that they are ‘‘as good” as Dr. Sanden’s. “I have read about other eleotric delts,” says a correspondent, “which claim to be as good as yours, but they don’t show as many cures es yours does.” “T have tried many different remedies and several other makes of electric belts, but re. ceived no benefit until I nsed yours. It has caused a permanent cure,” says James H. Burden, 417 Clementina st., Stockton, Cal. Dr. Sanden’s Electric Belt will positively cure all weak- ness arising from early habits or later excesses. If you are weak you owe it to yourself, to your family and friends and those who will look to you for a heritage of health, tocure yourself now. Get Dr. Sanden’s Electric Belt to-day.
