THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, MONDAY, JUNE 1, 1896. 9 OR, C. B, BRICHA WAS NOT WANTED, The Committee of the French Society Is in Open War. A SCORCHING ADDRESS. It Takes in-the Physician and _Ex-President Sylvain Weill, COMMITTEEMEN ARE ELECTED. A Bitter Fight Has Split .the French Colony Into Two Aggressive Factions. The pot is boiling, not to s overboil- ing, in the affairs of the French Benevo- lent Societ, Some five weeks ago, when & committee of fifteen men disagreed upon the appoiutment of Drs. Brignam and Boyd, a strong majority preférring to elect Drs. de Marville and Meyer, the president | of the Societe Francaise de Bienfaisance M ichis the French name for tt tution, declared himself thereand ng resigned his otfice. ntleman, Sylvain Weill, who had presided over the organization for very many years, wanted the election of Dr. , not getting it, stepped down His action produced something of a | diminutive St. Louis-cyclonic effect. Of| the fifteen committeemen who had voted for Dr. De Marville ten declared their vote ¥ given in 8 moment of d not withdraw lien of that they fol- lowed President Weill's precédent and likewise res gned from the committee. Subsequently six mewmbers who had re- signed were prevailed upon to withdraw nation, but four committeemen tho do into details we would fain hiave not divulged, 1o state some of his encroachments upon the prerogatives of the committee. Of his own sccord he ordered the stone en- graving for diplomas and ordered medals to be struck off at the expense of the society. Nurses must be furnished with his diploma: Which edict was contrary to a decision pre- viously rendered by the committee. Another thing is the circuiars he caused to be printed notilying all doctors desiring to operate on patients at our hospital that they must furnish their own instruments, as they wou'd not be permitted to use those of the hospital. The circulars, sent out withont the knowledge of the committee, were uuknown to us excep ling when he desired us to foot the bill for their production. Mueh more could be said in this vein, but we do not wish to disclose all we haye learned. It would be inadvisable. We want to hold back certain points out of regard for others who apparently have none for us. Huving informed ourselves amply upon all that 100Kk place in the hospitai during the past tern we asked ourselves,as many members will upon reading this address, why the pre- ceding commitiee in its annual Teport so care- fuily abstained from making any mention of the much-to-be-regretted facts which we pre- sent to you? We have learned that the members of the Ppreceding committee thought itatheir duty to act as they did io order (o avo.d placi be- fore the eves of the public and strangers incidents w ¥ thought prudent {0 pass in silence n so doing they proposed to advise' the incoming committee as to the true state of affuirs, to give these an oppor- tunity to brirg about changes which it was impossible to effect during tue g term without injuring the interests .

A Ring Lost in a Cottonfield Picked Up by a Magnet in a Cottonseed Mill. One of the Union Oil Company’'s big mills is located 2t this place, and it is sur- prising the number of queer finds that are made in the cottonseed that is ground here, so the engineer tells. with the intricate machinery of the mill brings this about. Before the seed is crushed it is necessary for it to pass throuzh au very close ginning process where saws with almost infinitesimally small teeth do the nipping. Of course the smallest bit of metal that might make its way with tbe seed would do infinite dam- age if allowed to strike these fine saws, and to prevent this a very ingenious device is used. This is nothing more than a power- ful magnet, over which the seed is com- velled to pass in reaching the gin. It falls so gently that the least bit of steel or iron that may be with the seed clings hard and fast to the magnet. It is almost incredible the number of nails, screws, pins,”bolts ‘and such things that are capturadiin this way—things that have made their way into the seed through the varying processes -that it must undergo. Of € 8 man is kept busy watching the magnet and remaving whatever wmay lodge upon it, else the weight of the seed would eventually sweep them on again. One day last month this magnetman ¢hanged upon a most curious find, Cling- ing to-the magnet; in the midst of an un- usual number of ‘nails and taps,he dis- overed what seented to be a black ring of | singular workmanship, set with a dia- mend. - The man at once reported. his find to the manager, who in turn submitted it or inspection toan expert jeweler. The weler - pronounced the ring a valuable one, of wrought iron of intricaie workmanship, and set with a diamond of the first water. The manager at once ad- vertised * the: ring, and yesterd . 0 Navarro -of San:-Antonio camehere to claim it.© Navarro: proved his ownership beyond a doubt, and the ring is now in his possession. He says that the ring disappeared from bis possession five years ago, when he strongly suspected a half-breed cowboy of | baving stolen it. An attempt to capture the supposed thief was made without avail. Nothing was heard of him until re- cently, when the authorities discovered | that he was working in & cotton gin in the neighborhood of Gainesville. ~ Navarro says be hasn'ta doubt that the ring was lost by the hali-breed while he was gin- ning, finally making its way to Denison in a consignment of seed. The authorities have been notified, aud the thief may yet be caught, but.in the meantime Navarro is overjoyed with the return of his ring, which 1s a valuable heirloom.—Denison (Tex.) dispatch to Philadelphia Times, —————— . What an Archbishop Has to Do. The Arciibishop of Canterbury is a busy man. He is the Bishop of Kent and part of Surrev. That means much traveling about. He has to actas final referee in affairs of the English church all over the world. That means selecting bishops and settling icult questions. He 1s head of all the English bishops, and has to hold frequent meetings to dis- cuss all questions touching the church. He is governor of several great schools, and has to consult with other governors as 1o how they are to be managed.” Then he must attend the House of Lords, where the Archbishop is bound to be a party man, So much for the Archbishop’s duties. Now about the way he performs them. To a large extent by writing letters, in an. swer to the missives which pour into Lambeth Palace from early morn until night. The Archbishop opens as man letters himself as ne can, always h)msel’; reading those garked “private,” and the secretaries, thfee in number, do the rest. Then the secretaries come in with their baskets, read the letters out and take notes, while the Archbishop says bow they are to be answered. All day long this is going on; when- ever there is a spare moment it is “‘letters, letters.”” The secretaries drive with him sometimes as he goes to a meeting, and same time doctor, superintendent and com- mittee. sy we be permitted, alnce we bave to enter | read letters to him all the time as they go.—London Tid-Bits.

Pale-biue bunting radiated for the chande- liers to the four corners of the wall, forming overhead & canopy of azure, from the center of which swung an immense basket of roses, car- nations and ferns. Promotly at 7:30 o’clock the music struck up for the grand march, and as the handsomely | attired iittle misses and sturdy littie men moved through the graceful and intricate fig- | ures they presented a scene rost beauteous to | behold. Aiter the march there was an interesting programme of fancy dancing. The graduates of the evening—Miss Leonie McColgan and Miss Emma Herrscher—acquitted themselves 1o the delight of their parents and friends. To little Miss Herrscher, a gipsy of eight summers, fell unusual honpors. Her dance, La Belle Jardiniere,” was applauded to the cbo.

Thomas L, Clinginan Was Colleague of Clay and Webster. The news that ex-Senator Thomas La- nier Clingman has entered a home for Confederate solaiers in North Carolina, brokenin health and in purse, has excited the deepest sympathy among those who knew the old man in his palmy days and in recent years. He has been a familiar figure about the Capitol, and it was only lately that his presence was missed from | the corridors and the floor of the Senate, says a writer in the Washington Post, It was.a daily sight, just after the ses- sion of the Senate began, to see the gaunt, gray figure, straight as an Indian, despite the burden of age, walk into the chamber and take a seat in an unobtrusive corner. Snow-white hair, scant of growth, partly covered his head, and snowy whiskers served to bide the hoilow cheeks. Occa- | sionaliy a Senator would stop for a word, and the aged solon would seize the oppor- tunity to tell of his anti-tobacco cure, which has been his hobby for many years. To see Clingman in his poverty-stricken old age one found it hard to picture him a power in a body Jf great men, such as Clay, Webster and Calhoun. Yet he was quite as prominent, if not so famous, in the proceedings which marked the historic time when they were his colleagues. Clay was his idol, and when Webster made his | great 7th of March sveech bhe sat on |the arm of Clay’s chair, his hand | affectionately resting on the great Ken- | tuckian’s shoulder. That was in the old Senute chamber, where the Federat Su- preme Court now holds its sessions. With Andrew Jackson as his companion, he led the Senate into the old hall of representa- tives, now statuary hall, to hear John Quiney Adams deliver his eulogy of Lafayette. His friendship .for Clay led toa duel between himself and Con- gressman Yancey of Alabama, grow- ing out of a speech delivered about the causes that led to Clay’s defeat. The ground selected for the meeting was near Washington, perbavs at Bladensburg. Pistols were the weapons and one shou | was exchanged without effect. Here the | seconds Charles L. Jones, the noted expo- nent of the code duelilo, for Clingman, and Congressruan Huger of South Carolina, for Yancey, endeavored to bring about | an adjustment, and they finally arranged the matter satisfactorily. During the very first week he served in Congress Clingman had a passage at arms on the | floor with Henry A. Wise of Virginia. The public career of Senator Clingman has been a remarkable one. He is now 83 years of age, and more than 20 of these were spent in legislative assemblies. Graduating from the University of North Carolina at 20, he was soon after elected to the State Legislature, and in 1840 was promoted by the electors to the State Sen- ate. From Detember, 1843, to June, 1858, he served continuously as a representa- tive of North Carolina in Congress, with the exception of one term, participating during this extended period in nearly all important debates, particularly in tho: | reiating to foreign affairs from his prom- inent position as chairman of the commit- tee having that field in charge. During this service he established a record for at- tendance, never missing a day’s session. His Senatorial career began in 1858 Miss Mary 15 1, 4l Mahoney, Joseph Brown, Fred Archic Alexander, Frank term of Senator Asa Biggs, who resigned to accept a Federal judgeship. He was | subsequently elected to succeed nimself from March'4, 1861, but the term was never begun. In the preceding Janunary Cling- man withdrew from the Senate with other Southern members, participated as a com- missioner from North Carolina in the Con- federate Congress in May and in July was formally expelled from the Senate. Then he entered the Confederate army and be- came a brigadier-general, and did not figure again in politics aiter 1568, wiren he went as a delegate to the Democratic Na- tional Cenyention. For years prior to the war and for a long time thereafter Senator Clingman had de- voted himself to scientific pursuits, and it is a tribute to his knowledge and enthusi- asm that he determined the highest points of Black Mountain and Swmuky Mountain, both of which have been calied in his honor. North Carolina’s valuable mineral deposits were also made known through his efforts. e Fashion in Calling Cardas. The Roman or block letter is becoming more popular as the style of engraving for visiting-card vlates, while the fashionably thin card of two-sheet %unlity is eminently proper. Cards for toth men and women are considerably smaller, and the script en- gravin. is finer in conseguence, following more closely the English style than the Parisian, which islarge and with flourishes.

OPPOSITION FROM DEALERS, They Say That a Levy as Great as Last Year Wili Kill Realty Valus. The extravegant demands that several de- partments of the City government have made for appropriations for the ensuing year has aroused real estate men, and they are deter- mined to do all in their power to defeat a tax levy that will provide for the 1aising of these amounts. The real estate market is dull enough the best, and has been for a long time, and it is the consensus of opinion among real estate men that if there is anything calcu- lated to kill the market absolutely it is the prospect of another cutrageous tax levy like that of last year. The following extracts from the Real Estate Circular of Thomas Magee & Sons for the present month voices the general sentiment that prevails among real estate deal- ers on the subject: NO HOPE FOR REAL ESTATE IP THE LAST TAX RATE 18 REPEATED. The City real-estate dullness, which began in May, 1891, and which has eyer since been exhib- ited 'in_decreased volume of sales and constantly increasing depression of prices. has at no time since that year been so moticeable as at present. | For two or three years subsequent to 1891 only subucban lands suffered. They had been oo ed between 1888 and 1881 to most inflated prices. For four vears subsequent to May, 1891, there was s strong a demand for good business property as Atany time in the previous years, when therde- | mand was strong and when the prices of all kinds of real es'ate were climbing, but since the im- position of the $2 25 tax rate the feeling las increasingly prevailed that it s possible “for the Assessor, the State Boasd of Fquaiization and the msjority in the Board of Supervisors—a trinmvirate really responsible to nobody—practi- cally 1o confiscate real estate. A piece of property on which there was a three-story brick buiiding | and basement was lately sold on Market street, sonthwest of First, Three and a balf months of the gross rents of this property were consumed by last year's taxes. The City and State taxeson an- | other much larger picce in ihe same biock last | year amounted to §7875—exactly three and a haif months of the income. The block is # no ed one for frequency and length of vacancies, but the tax leeches care no hing for thet, nor for the gen- eral large reductions in rents because of dulinessof business. They demand their official blood | money, ‘end in spite of ail these existing facts frequently increase rather than reduce assess- ments, Never since the Fraser River excitement of 1858, when San Francisco was deserted for Fra- ser River and Victoris, was there such vital need ©f low taxes as last year, but they never were of such crushing weight before. If we ¢re this year to have a rep-tition of llr({lhlns like the same high assessments and City and State tax rates as those | of lust vear, then it can be confidently zsserted | that there will be no mar<et for any of City | property. The 1rices of even the very bestof it | will drop to a point never before known in any de- ; pression, and we have had some very severe de- Jressions since 1869. Peuple only buy real estate | for what rents they can get from it and with the hope of futgre increase in value. But if the Assessor, Supervisors and State Board, with power aimost unlimited in their bands, take three o four months-not of the net, but of the gross rents—thd owner taking the risk of vacancies and having to pav, as he always does, for repairs ani insurance, there wiil be so little left that wouid-be buvers will wisely let real estate severely a‘one. The most exas- pera'ing feature of the whole business—an exas- | peration justifying a local revoiuticn—is that the | worst v ear for business, low renis and widespread i ever known he heaviest | infliction of city and Stale tax robbery ever ex- | acied in the history of the city. Each of the per- | Petrators of this robbery, 100, has his or t! eir plau- | sible excuse for inflic 4 The Assessor said that he could not help eping sessments | up, or of even increasing th m, because, if| he did not, the State Board of kqualizati-n would get after the City—as though it would not do this | anyway, whether he did or_did not put tighter | screws on assessed values. The fact is, as we then | un ierstood it, being that, but for an unexpected combination between the representatives of this and the Los Angeles districts, the so-calied Board | of Equalization wonld pit a still heavier load | of taxes on this City. The johbers inthe Board of Supervisors excused their acts of taX robbery by asser ing that the last Legislature suthorized them to build a home for drunkards, to buy up three lots to add, ulterly nnnecesserily, o tbe size of the old City Hall lot, and also to erect thereon & new boilding. There s no pennity whatever for disobedfence of these unjus- tifiable orders of the Legislature, and they could should have been ignored. 'I'he.State Board’s claim was that iis duty was simp!y minis er al— that was, to raise 80 much mouey under orders of the Legislature. 1t 100, could have lizhtened the Siate and City burdens by at _least $1,000,000, | but, like the other officials, 1t let taxes pileu. | efore have farm ers, manufacturers, mer- ouseholders and real estate owners ali | ng from unprecedentedly hard times, a period having the last straw put upon their hacks by the infliction of nearly double ratesof taxation. If Iast year's tax rae is tc be repeat=a this year the Tax Collector and the Sheriff will slone be busy in real estace. OUTRAGEOUS DEMANDS FOR MONEY. Mr. Ashworth, Superintendent of Streets, wants $1,000.000 more for the Street Department than it | got lnst v ar, the year of the 2 25 tax rate. The | Chiet of Police wants $120,000 extra for his de- | partment, while the Board of Education wants $600,000 additional. Only three depart- | ave thus far been heard fram, conse tiy the returns are not all in. No doubt &ll of epartments will want correspondingi - larze increases. \We think, therefore, and here sug- gest, that the properiy-owners of the ciiy, as a | Body, may as well here and now deed their prop- erty as @ whole to the city, and have done withit. We feel sure, tog, that, even if this were done, there wonld soon be & deficiency. City and State governments are sach pure. such perfect, such Inestimable Uless ngs, that no cosi—not even every man's savings and property—wouid b 100 | high a price to pay foril. Weonly ask. and we ask the question meekiy—when the toial property of the City and county prove v be not enough to satisfy the oihee-holders, and to conduct | our dual governmen's, how wil the deficiency then be made up ? France, before t Revolution, was In this condition. Taxes swallowed up every= thing the real workers could produce, and, after taking everything from them they were kicked, cufted and {mprisoned because ihey did not pro duce more. and at suc REVIEW OF THE RECORDS.
