A Battallon of Orators Followed | One Another In Crying ““Godspeed.” J. M. Ctretien, chairman of the State Central Committee, was introduced amid Joud applause. He said: “Itis the inten- tion of the committee in charge not to have long addresses, but terse, brief re- marks abont the important issues of the campaign. Besides the important sub- jects of tariff and protection we must re- memsber that there is another issue before us. We must remember that California is and has been a Golden State. 1 now take great pleasure in introducing to you the chairman of the evening, Hon. George C. | Perkins. Senator Perkins arose, and, after the ap- plause which greeted him had subsided, | gaid: “If there is any one period in our lives when the heart is thrilled with patriotic ardor it is when we hold a great political meeting, or right after the close of a great political convention. “Your delegates have just assembled in 8 great convention and on the anniversary of the battle of Bunker Hill they again placed before the people those grand old Republican principles which began with Abraham Lincoln and were added to and broadened by a long list of illustrious suc- cesso: heir next move was to place before the people that great and giorious man— the unanimous choice of the people—Wil- liam McKinley. [Great applause.] “We are here to-night to ratify that choice, and on the streets are thousands more who are shouting themselves hoarse and burning bonfires to show their gratifi- cation. “‘Fellow citizens, it is well. The people have spoken, and the voice of the people is the voice of God. “Look at the record of this man, both in | and insure us surcease from the dull t | and business stagnation inaugurated | last term in office.” | ask you to rally about our candidate next | November and give an overwhelming ma- | ing to you the able exponent of protec- | hearts in sympathy with McKinley’s nom- | ination, but that when the proper time arrives you will cast your ballots for him imes the Democrats at the beginning of their Hon. Irving M. Scott was introduced, | and when the applause which greeted Mr. Scott had subsided he proceeded : “We are not here to-night to make any | arguments. Icome here representing the | manufacturing interests of this City to | exult in the fact that the sun of prosperity | isrising at last.”” | The speaker was here interrupted by the arrival of the Howard Republican Club, | headed by a band and Judge Campbell, with flowing whiskers and silky tile, wav- | ing an American flag. Cheers were given | for everybody from McKinley to the | youngest San Francisco Republican. When at last the excitement had sub- sided Mr. Scott resumed. “‘Never since we nominated Abraham | Lincoln,” hesaid, “*have we entered upon a | campaign with such hope of big things to | be done. The man whom we have chosen belongs to no corporations, does not cut | his own coupons. If you come to the sup- port of McKinley and set the wheels of industry in motion we can look forward again to unexampled prosperity. With the Oregon on the water, with Perkins in the Senate, and McKinley in the Presi-| dential chair we have nothing to fear. I| jority for protection to American manu- factures and industries. “I now take great pleasure in introduc- tion, the gentleman who has so ably rep- resented you in Congress for the past three terms, Eugene F. Loud.” “Talking upon this occasion,” began | Loud, “is wholly unnecessary. Whatever | may bave been our preference personally | for a nominee, the people of the United | Etates have risen en masse and declared | their desire for a leader in the person of | | that standard-bearer of protection, William McKinley. “All that remains for me to say is, Go forward to the polls and do your duty. Then peace and harmony will reign. * And the night sball be filled with music, And the cares that infest the day Shall fold their tents like the Abrabs And as silently steal away.” At the conclusion of Congressman | Loud’s address Senator Perkins made a | | brief speech introducing the Hon. M. M. Estee. . “1 am mnot here to represent the manu- facturing interests or any vparticular branch of industry,” said Estee. *I repre- | sent the boys of this campaign. I prophesy ! that we boys are going to elect a Repub- | lican President in next November and that Presidentshall be William McKinley. I want to say to you that the Republican party of California ought to be proud of this glorious demonstration of the San Francisco Republicans.” Miss Susan B. Anthony was then intro- duced by Benator Perkins in a few apt | words, in which e felicitously termed her “tbe grand old warrior who has battled so pravely for her sex,” i Miss Anthony was greeted with a great burst of applanse. It was left for the Republican party to sweep away the race line that violated re- publican princinles, and now it has been again left to the Republican party to sweep away the sex line,” she said. ‘“‘And it has remained for Columbia’s fairest daughter, Caiifornia, to take the greatest step in this grand movement for the enfranchisement of woman. “I come here as a representative of the | women of California, the Native Daugh- ters of the glorious Golden State. The very fact that your State Central Com- mittee has invited a woman to speak from this platform shows that the party isin earnest in its endeavors to give equal rights to all, irrespective of race or sex.” After Miss Anthony had finished, Julius Kahn denounced, in ringing terms, Demo- cratic misrule and the much-promised Democratic “campaign of education.” Mr. Kahn was followed by Judge Cooney, who attacked vigorously the cul- pable mistakes in the Democratic finan- cial policy and paid a glowing tribute to the Republican candidate. Colonel Eddy, president of the Pheenix Republican Club, followed with a rousing oration, in which he said that if McKin- ley is a poor man it is because he has chosen to be honest, and that as sure as th November next the news will come from the North, the East, the South and the West that McKinley is elected to the | Lighest oflice in the gift of the Nation. The Knickerbocker Quartet rendered “We’ll Vote for the Boy of the Buckeye State,” which had been composed for the occasion by Major C. W. Kyle. Major Kyle followed the song with the following stirring words: “The thought of the hour is McKinley and protection. From the palmetto to the pine, from the St. Lawrence to the Rio Grande, from surf to surf the voice of the people is raised in glad and united ac- | man writing. sun will rise and set on the 7th of | claim ratifving the nomination of McKin- ley and Hobarr, whose names stand for protection and prosperity. ‘“‘Protection means McKinley and Mc- Kinley means protection. Protection means prosperity; it means the elevation of labor; the revival of American indus- tries; the stimulation of American com- merce; the enforcement of the Monroe doctrine; reciprocity with the Latin- American Union; the upbuilding, the ce- menting and the preservation in America of a higher, broader, purer, stronger and more enlightened civilization than the world can elsewhere know. The nation that by wise enactment pro- vides for the emplovment of its labor can raise a larger arcy of better men than it is possible for any country whose labor is less employed. Protection shall have sway. The people demand it; the country requires it. The supreme hour for its adoption is at hand. Behold the flag! It represents the hope of the world. It guarantees toall a liberty as sweet and sure as the very air which it redeems by its presence. Look upon its gorgeous stripes—its royal field of blue— its glittering stars.

Look closely. I can see the words—I read, “When in the course of human events—'"" I see another man writing, He is writing the liberation of the industrial classes of America.

M, ESTEE, WHO CHAMPIONS THE CAUSE OF PROTECTION, writes the glad battle-cry of the people— “Protection to American industries!” W. E. Henderson followed with an elo- quent encomium upon the champion of protection. He pledged the loyalty of the negro to the party that had freed him from slavery. A. E. Branch in an enthusiastic speech predicted the overwhelming success of the grand old party next November. Ex-Assemblyman Frank Powers called up the memory of James G. Biaineasa companion picture for Wiham McKinley. Chairman Perkins introduced Edward Sweeney, who convulsed the audience with a skillfully rendered Irish-dialect ac- count of McKinley taking possession of the White House. After the langhter had subsided Colonel Roberts was introduced by the chairman. Colonel Roberts began with a humor- ous anecdote of a little girl who had been sick. She had been fed on broth and other so-called nourishing foods, he said, until she was tired, and finally flatly re- fused to take any more nourishment. “Iam sick of nourishment, and I want some food,” she said. *So it is with us. We are tired of nour- ishment as it is administered to us by Cleveland, and want some food. Next November we will get it.” The meeting broke up with a rousing three cheers for McKinley and the Repub- lican party. Sl gt AT THE PAVILION. Cheers Reverberated to the Echo and the Flags Flew. This is the year of the people and of the Repubtican party | Like the pnenix the Republican party never dies. In heat or cold, success or de- feat, it arises with the bugle of protection and prosperity echoing in the front rank. The local parade entered Mechan, Pavilion last night under a broad canopy. The arch of the entrance was illuminated with red fire and the cheering legions marched in with all the enthusiasm that ancient Romans entered their triumphal arches. It was such enthusiasm as fore- tells victory. Bonfires made the pathway bright and roushing cheers enthused the marching thousands to a proud and confi- dent tread. Inside they marched around and around the arena. Brass bands played patriotic 8irs, and the hats and handkerchiefs that were continually in the air were almost countless. The canopy of red fire under which the procession had made the en- trance had died away, but that which took its place was a cheer and shout, which spread over the assembled Republicans from the entrance to the lust seat in the gallery with the rapidity of a prairie fire. Senator Perkins, the chairman, attempt- ed to speak, but three times kis voice was arowned by the enthusiasm of the crowd. Cwsar never had a more noble orenthu- siastic entrance into Rome, and the heart of Antony, even in the presence of Egypt’s Queen, was not thrilled more. Around and thrice around the McKinley legions marched. Nearly every mother's son of patriotism, presperity and protection had a flag which he waved, and wherever he uplifted his eyes he saw a sky of revolving flags inred, white and blue. The starsand stripes, protection, patriotism and enthu- siasm were the keys that touched the magnificent assemblage of 7000 people into a shout for McKinley in one harmonious and reverberating chord. On the left of the hall sat the Woman's Republican Club. On the right were hon- ored guests. In the center,on an elevated platform, were the chairman, Senator Per- kins, and many vice-presidents. Opposite was a brass band which wasted no min- utes in discoursing ‘‘America, “Yankee Doodle” and “Marching Through Georgia.” With each tone of these fa- miliar ard patriotic airs the vast audience arose and cheered en masse the man of Canton, who is no less a Napoleon of party, politics and people than the man who astomshed the world less than he did Italy by scaling tte Alps with his army. In the parade which encircled the hall were such illuminations as “mie: “One God, one country, one McKinley.” “Patriotism, protection prosperity.” “Three cheers for McKinley.” ‘When one of the finely illuminated Mc- Kinley banners came before the Speaker’s stand Senator Perkins proposed three cheers for the man of Canton. They were given with a fervor that filled the hall to the echo. One of the cohspicuous features of the arena march was the Afro-American League with its 350 enthusiastic faces beaming with McKinleyism. The officers were up in front under their illuminated banners, and & prouder or a more stately step was not noticed in the delegation. An illuminated banner which brought out the Jaughter cf ridicule from the crowd was: “Grover, Dear Boy, How Isthe Fish- ing?” Even the stately dignitaries on the platform smiled. As a tribute to I. M. Scott one of the banners in the parade which circled before the speakers’ stand, with an interrogation point after it, was, “What's the matter with the Oregon?’ Echo answered: “Nothing,”” and it reverberated to the rafters. After a brief half hour of cheers, march- ing and shouts for the ticket, the crowded pavilion settled down to listen to the speeches. Conspicuous among the paraders for their numbers, banners ana enthusiasm wera the Pheenix and the Howard Republican clubs. With these were County Clerk Carry and hisassistant, Harry Piper, who did so much toward or- ganizing the ratification. Previous to the beginning of the speech- making a glee club sang ‘‘America’”’ and other patriotic songs. Among the vice-presidents of the even- ing who occupied seats on the speakers’ platform and the two sections of chairs that flanked the platform on the east and west were: Hon. W. H. Beatty, Hon. T. B. McFar- land, Hon. Ralph C. Harrison, Hon. C. H. Garoutte, Hon. F. W. Henshaw, Hon. W. C. Van Fleet, Xon. George H. Bahrs, Hon. Frank H. Kerrigan, Hon. H. C. ‘Widber, Hon. C. 8.

Many had wives or lady friends with them who applauded the musical and ora- torical efiorts enthusiastically. Particularly pleasing to the audience seemed to be the *Bill McKinley’s Bill” song that was rendered by a quartet con- sisting of D. M. Lawrence and R. P. Evans, tenors, and D. B. Crene and L. A. Larsen, bassos. The laststanza and chorus ran as follows: Labor is king by right divine, and shall hereafter The workman kpows the ballot is his most ef- fective tool. i And he will cast it gladly the Cobden Club to kill, He knows his only weapon is Bill McKinles’s bill.

The Documeat Thrown to the Ground acd the Server Threatened With Arrest. [ ting for our industries and for McKin- Events, portentous and dramatic, char- acterized the developments in the matter already famous, though but of two days’ growth, as the case of the Craven deeds. Portentous in that they ars the pre- liminary steps to bringing to an issue one of the most important phases of the great Fair will controversy; dramatic by resson of the exciting incident that was enacted in the corridor of the Palace Hotel when an attempt was made to serve a subpena on Mrs, Craven, ordering among other things that she produce in Judge Sluck’s court on Monday evening the two deeds that were placed on record Friday. Of all the attorneys connected with the Fair will case only Reuben H. Lloyd, representing the interests of Mrs. Oelrichs and Miss Virginia Fair, and Charles J. Heggerty of Knight & Heggerty, repre- senting Charles Fair, were in town yester- day. There was a consultation between the twoattorneys, and then, as a matter of protection to all interested under the wills now under adjudication, it wasdetermined to take prompt measures to test the validity of the Craven deeds, whereby $1.250,000 worth of real property of the Fair estate purported to have been con- veyed to Mrs. Nettie Craven by Senator James G. Fair about three months before his death. Mr. Lloyd was busy on the Baldwin- Ashtey case, so Mr. Heggerty proceeded alone to Judge Slack’'s courtroom and moved the ecourt to issue forthwith an order commanding Mrs. Craven to pro- duce the two deeds and all other docu- ments, papers, books, written wholly or in part by the deceased millionaire. This the court did -at noon, and about three hours later the following document was served, so it is claimed by Mr, Heg- gerty, on Mrs. Craven: In the Superior Court of the City and County of Sau Francisco, State of California. In the matter of the estate of James G. Falr, deceased. In the matter of the contest of Charles L. Fair to the document herein filed of date September 24, 1394, and propounded by Marc Levingston as the lust will of said deceased. The people of the State of California send greeting to Neitie R. Craven. We command you, that all and singular busi- ness and excuses being laid uside you appear and attend before the undersigned, Charles W. Slack, one of the Judges of the above men- | tioned court, at the courtroom of Department 10 of the above mentioned court, in the new City Hall in the City and County of San Fran- cisco, on the 22d day of June, 1896, at 7:30 P. M, then and there to testify in the above en- titied proceeding now pending in the | said Superior Court on the part of the contestant, and that you bring with you and produce then and th all bobks, papers | and writings of every neture «nd kind exe- cuted or written, in whole or it art, by James G. Fair, deceased, which are now ia your cus- | tody; and particularly, that you have then and there with you two certain deeds, purport- ing to have béen executed by said James G. Fair, deceased, on the 8th day of Sentember, 1894, and alleged to have been acknowledged by him before J. J. Cooney, & notary pubiic in and for the City and County of San Franciseo, State of California, on the 27th day of Septem- ber, 1894, which two deeds were filed ior rec- ord and recorded in the office of the County Recorder of the City and County of San Fran- cisco, State of Californla, on the 19th day of June, 1896. In witness whereof, the undersigned has cansed thele‘pnnenu t be signed at the City and County of San Francisco, State of CKlifor- n1s, on thiz, the 20th day of June, 1896, CHARLES W. SLACK, Judge of the Superior Court in and for the City and County of San Francisco, State of California. According to Mrs. Craven the serving of this paper in a public place like the cor- ridor of the Palace Hotel was unneces- sary, as she states that she was not then, had not been and is not now endeavoring to avoid service of papers or any person or persons. Thisis Mrs. Craven's version of the occurrence: “I had entered the Markei-street en- trance of the Palace Hotel and had stopped at the news-stand, a few feet in- side the corridor, when a man withoutany preliminary warning jammed a paper under my arm, between my coat and my waist, the former being open. I did not know what he was after, and his actions were 80 ungentlemanly, not to say rough, | LAR0. IBelt, and believe that it_has saved me that I did not know but my life was be ng threatened. The paper was rolled up and there was nothing about it to indicate to me that it was a legal document. +] of course threw the paper on the floor in my excitement. After he had shoved the paper at me he exclaimed: ‘You are Mrs. Craven. Iknow.you.' «Igaid: ‘Iam not Mrs. Craven,’ nthder the impulse of the moment, as I feared he was meditating harm against me. I have had some queer experiences of late, and they have tended to make me nervous and fearsome of strangers.”’ Mrs. Craveu, when asked what she pro- posed to do in regard to answering the subpena, said: “T have mot seen any subpena and do not know that I have been served with one. I do not know what all the trouble is about and I do not propose to find oui, either. Let them come here and properly. Iam not running away.” “Have you any objection to giv a history of those deeds 5o far as you know it?” was asked. That is something my attorneys have | instrncted me not to talk about,” replied Mrs. Craven. “Have you ever collected or attempted to collect the rents from the tenauts of the properties mentioned in the two deeds?” “No, sir."” hy?’ . hat is & matter my attorneys, Short- ridge & Delmas, have said I was to say nothing about. All the rent of those prop- erties for nearly twenty-one months is now due me, which I can collect and which I will. This is no surprise to the Fair attorneys. They have known of this from the very beginning of the Fair case. “I want to say this further: The reason that the deeds were not left at the Record- er's office was not that I was afraid of the genumeness of them, but 1 did not want to take any chances of having them stolen or mutilated. I wanted to have them kept where they could be produced at any time. 1 am willing to iet any unbiased and prop- erly qualified person see them and judge of them.” She concluded by saying: “I don’t know where they areat the present time, and I don’t want to know. I have no papers of any kind connected with the Fair case now in my possession. 3 “Shall you appear in court, as ordered in the subpena?’’ was then asked. “T shall act according to_the instruc- tions of my attorneys. ButI have no ob- jections to appearing at any time, even without being subpenaed.” Another version of the service of the subpena is given by the gentleman who geriormed that task. He alleges that he egan reading the original to Mrs. Craven when she attempted to waik away. He then placed a copy of it under Mrs. Cra- ven's arm, saving: “‘I know you; you are Mrs. Craven.” He alleges that Mrs. Craven denied her identity, threw the subpena on the floor, and that then Miss Craven threatened to call the police and have him arrested. The disowned subpena is now in posses- sion of Mr. Wilbur, the owner of the news- stand, who says he will not surrender it to any one but the Jady who dropped it— meaning Mrs. Craven. Mrs. Craven, when informed of this, says she did not lose itand has no longing for its possession. -~ Damaged oy the Tidal Wave. VICTORIA, B. C., June 20.—The steamer M=ude, which arrived to-day from the West Coast, brings word that the tidal wave which was reported last week did consid- | erable damage all along the West Coust. No lives were lost. HE VOUGHED FOR IT. Mr. Jaccard 3tands by His Letter Published in the Sund.y Papers. ‘When one reads in the papers from day to day of the wonderful cures that are claimed to have been made by some one of the many advertised remedies it arouses a feeling of incredulity, for we know that if these many ‘‘cure-alls’’ would do one- tenth of what is claimed for them they would in time throw the regular practi- tioner out of a job—then there would be | no more use for him. It is amusing sometimes to read of some respectable, and often very well-krown man, who permits his name, and may be his portrait, to be used to boom a remedy which is said to have cured him of a life- long disease. The other day there was printed in the San Francisco morning papers & double-column advertisement with a picture of a well-known jeweler of San Leandro, and a letter purporting to be from the said jeweler describing his wonderful cure of a weakness and vari- cocele of twenty-six years' standing by an electric belt. Such stories have appeared so fre- usntly of late, given out by this same electric - belt firm, making wonderful claims for their article, that, to satisfy himself as to their truth, a Bulletin re- L. L. JACCARD. porter took the matter in hand and hunted up the jeweler for the purpose of seeing what there was in it. ‘The gentleman, whose name is Jaccard, was found in his store at San Leandro, and when approached on the subject of his cure by the electric belt game out irom behind the counter and stood be- fore his questionerin an attitude which showed a remarkabie development of manly physique. He lookedlike a Hercu- les, and would be the last man in a thou- sand to be picked out as a fit subject foran electric treatment. He was right to the point when the object of his visitor’s resence was made known. His remarks eft no doubt in the reporter's mind as to the value of electricity asa curative agent. *You see me now,” said Mr. Jaccard; “do I look like & sick man? Itell you I am different from what I was two years I did use the Dr. Sanden Electric from a lot of misery. For twenty-six years I was bothered with one of the worst forms of varicocele. I was weak. It was simply draining my life from me. I tried lots of treatments. The quacks grew rich on me, but did not belp me. I got this Sanden Belt in 1894, and used it for seven months. At first 1 did_not notice much good from it, but after I bad used it two months the varicocele seemed to vanish like magic, and I was born again—a new man. I have been growing stronger every day since, and you will find very few men at 50 who are more powerful. Yes, there other treatments, but I believe in gettin the best when I am doctoring myself, an I know Dr. Senden’s Electric Belt is the greatest invention for sick people.” Mr. Jaceard said a great deal more in favor of Dr. Sanden’s Belt, and men- tioned the names of several other San Leandro oitizens who had enjoyed bene- fits from its use. He left no doubt in the mind of the visitor that the value of this remedy is too lightly appreciated by peo- ple who need it. hen questioned as to whether Dr. Sanden’s Belt did as much as was claimed for it he said: *‘Yes, sir, and ten times more than they claim. You have only to try it to feel yourself a new man in mind and body.”” Mr. Jaccard is 50 years of age, weighs 210 pounds and measures 5 feet 9 mches.
