P. J. Keges, Daggett 15, Built the First Theater in Stockton. A Legacy From Signor De La Vega. Emile Hestres, a Frenchman, who came | to this City in 1849, was well known in the northern mines and in this City, dis- appeared from his home on the morning | of the 7th of this month and has not been | seen since. Mr. Hestres, upon his arrival in this | City, like many others, remained but a | short time and then started for the north- ern mines, and finally located in Stockton, ] where he engaged in commerce. One of | the enterprises he engaged in was the pur- | chase of a flour mill at Knight's Landing from Colone! Dent, who became the father-in-law of General U. S. Grant. | ‘While in Stockton, so some who haye known him for many years say, he built | the first theater in that place.

She swore that Maruel belicved her | almost 19 years of age, and that she had ‘ | on every cccasion so informed him, giving as her reason for so doing her love of him | and her desire to get away from hcri mother’s home. | Yesterday when Rosie was put on the | stand in Judge Belcher’s court she showed | that she had experienced & wonderful | change of heart. Although married less | than a half year she acknowledged that she would not go back to her husband. She has returned to the sheltering arms of Mamma Brady, and her testimony no doubt pleased that amiable person. Mrs, Olivier swore that she is not yet 18 years of age, thatghe lied in her testimony wiven in the Policé Court, and denied that she had ever on any occasion told her hus- | band tbat she was of age. | In direct contradiction to this testimony | Olivier's attorneys introduced in evidence | a letter which the witness acknowledged | having written some time during last January. It reads as follows: Dear Manuel, or Dear Husband: I gotyour note and was glad to hear that you were dreaming of me. Why, dear Manuel, I dream of you nearly every night. % Well, Manuel, you will want to know about my age, 20 now I am going to tell you the whole story. My aunt had a spat with ma about & year ao, so I went to see her shortly after that and we got talking about 0 when I said I am 17 this Fourth (July 4 is the last Fourth—Menuel,why you should see her look at me, and then she told me that 1 was six months older than her daughter, and her daughter was born in January, 0 by right 1 will be 19 next Fourth; and one night about five or six_months ago my aunt was talking about ages before ma, and when ma said 1 was only 17 she was just going to speak up, and I just looked over in time to see ma makea kign to my aunt, and then they stopped talking o that subject. 8o mow, dear Manuel, I have told you all sbout my age, 80 I am going to let ma have her own way about my age, because, Manuel, 1 aon’t want to have any trouble with her, be- cause you know, Manuel, your mother is your best friend and I never let on that I was toid I was older, for it would make her feel mad. Now, dearest. I want you to understand this: 1 have & daughter’s love for my mother, cer- tainly as & good girl always has, and when she says I shall not do & certain thing I never do it, not because I fear her, you see, but just be- cause I love her dearly, for a girl that is true 10 her mother is always truer to her husband. And now, dear Manuel, iu spite of all that T think so much of you, and I love you so, Man- uel, that when you are ready no one on earth, either mother or father, can stop me from be- coming your wife. Well, dearest, as 1 have no‘ | ! | vesterday that she has kent the house one | interrupted the rollcall. [i BUCKLEVITES ARE ALL ON DECK. 'The Biggest Meeting Held ‘ Since the Split ; Occurred. NUMBERS AND HURRAH. | The General Committee Prepares | for a Future Municipal | Convention. | | | O’'BRIEN STILL IN THE FOLD. | Declaration of War, Hope of Peace, | Loyalty to the Dollar Limit and Speeches. | The Buckley regular Democratic Gen- | eral Committee held the biggest and most | enthusiastic meeting in its history at | B'nai B'rith Hall last evening. It will | not hereafter be hinted by the coterie of | the ¥lood buiiding that the Buckleyites | are whipped off the face of the earth or | that they will be breaking their necks to | get into the Junta camp. | The organization which was denied | recognition by Frank Gould at Sacra- | mento, last night emphatically declared it- | self the re:ular and legal party organiza- | tion, ordered a primary to elect delegates | to a municipal convention to be held in | September, ordered headquarters .opened | in each Senatorial district, resolved to re- mind the four Democratic Supervisors | that they were elected on a dollar-limit platiorm and loudly cheered men and speeches expressive of the determination to stand boldly together and win. There cropped out in two or three of the speeches the general belief and desire that the party would, however, be united through a fair primary which would give the Democratic voters a chance to create one party organization. But until that comes the Buckle yites will hold and mass and play their strength to its fullest ex- ten ‘The chairs in the hall provided seats for about half those present. Men stood three deep along the side wall, packed the rear of the hall and filled the gallery. Chairman Joseph Rothschild called the meeting to order and Secretary D. M. Gavigan’s rolicall showed the presence of 386 members of the committee. Most of the delegates to Sacramento and about 300 spectators were also present. “Well, now, are we the people or are the other fellow: was jubilantly asked a hundred times when the typical Demo- cratic San Francisco mass-meeting had pawed the sawdust into moistened disor- der and the tobacco smoke had spread its haze. Five cheerings and one_bunch of hisses Dr.D. F. Reagan, who went to theenemy some time ago and became a delezate to Chicago, was hissed. James H. O'Brien, who had been report- ed in the Rainev camp while he was at the Santa Cruz carnival, answered *‘Here'’ all right and the boys hurrabed. Thomas Ashworth got his usual applause, as did Recorder Glynn and Railroad Commis- sioner Stanton. Frank Malloye offered the following resolution ordering a primary election and giving the executive committee general power and discr-tion where the interests of the faction are concerned: Resolved, That in pursuance of section 3. article 1, of the constitution of the General Committee, a call is hereby made for the pur- pose of holding & primary for the election of delegates to & municipal nominating conven- tion to be held in the City and County of S Francisco not later than September 15, Resolved, That in accordance with article V, of the constitution, the nnmber of delegates composing said municipal conven- tion shall be 450, apportioned as follows: To each Assembly district tw rea delegates, to be elected by the district clubs of the As- sembly rict;” two delegates at large for each Assembly district, to be elected by the voters of the eighteen Assembly district clubs, Resolved, That pursuant to article VI, sec and 3, of the constitution, candidates for the Senate shail be nominated by the several Assembly district clubs embraced in each Senatorial district; that candidates for district club in each Assembly dis- hat the nominees for members of the ture, when elected by the district club, shail be reported to the municipai convention |-for indorsement. | Resolved, That the executive committee be | and hereby is empowered to designate days and dates lor future enrollment oi members in district clubs; day and date of making early days of the mining excitement on mining stocks. He dealt extensively in Justice and Raymond & Ely, and his investments His broker, the late Henry Schmidell, at one time advised him to sell out when he would clear up $600,000, but he wanted to make a million, and in his endeavor to se- cure that he, like many other speculators, lost all. He managed after that todoa little in the speculating line and held the secretaryship of some mining companies, but as age advanced he was unable to con- tinue in this line of business, so he de- voted his_attention to making collections on commissions. About twelve years ago he rentea a room at 609 Pine street and remained there until the day of his disappearance. Mrs. Julie Quercy, the landlady, stated year, during which time Hestres paid his rent regularly until last month, when he became delinquent. Mrs. Quercy, taking pity on the old man, furnished him a bowl of soup every evening, and he prom- | ised to repay her kindness, but up to the time of his disappearance he had failed to do so. During the time she has bad charge of the house Hestres never had but two visitors, a middle-aged woman who was always accompanied by a boy apout seven years of age. Who this woman is Mrs. Quercy did not know, but on one occasion heard Hestres say that she was his godchild. ‘When Signor de la Vega, the million- aire old Californian, died he he by his will left $1000 to Hestres, and this has been paid to him monthly in small sums, about $10 at a time, | About two months woman named Magendie, but who after her divorce was known as Mrs. Schaffer, died and Hestres attended her funeral. After that his mind seemed to be affected and be did not seem to be like his former self. This grew to such a degree that one or two of his old customers, who still em- ployed him to collect rents for them, dis- charged him, fearing to trust him. On two previous occasions he lost his way in the Mission district and when found wan- dering around he was unable to tell where his home was. On one occasion te was kept by some kind-hearted people for three days. It is likely that he has wan- dered away and has been taken charge of by some family anxious to learn who heis. At one time Hestres was interested in a number of quicksilver mines with the late Theodore Le Roy and a number of prom- inent members of the French colony. - In order to make people keep their distance it is necessary first to keep your own, ago a divorced | | nominations for delegates to municipal con- vention and Legisiative candidates; also date of holding primary election in sccordance with les 1, 11 and III of the constitution goveruing district ciubs, and to make any and all arrangements to carry out these resolutions | and 1o attend to all details in furtherance | thereof and report the same to this committee. Resolved, That the executive committee is further empowered to personally perform any act that may be necessary to protect this com- mittee and the Democratic party in all its rights. The resolution was adopted with a | whoop, as was the following one, intro- | duced by T.J.

M. J. Donovan, chairman of the execu- | tive committee, offered amid, applause the { following resolution, which was quickly | adopted : | WnEREAS, The General Committee of the | Democratic party of the City and County of | 8an Francisco, of which Joseph Rothschild is | the president, is the only legal representative of | the Demoeratic party of this City and County, | having succeeded to all the rights and_powers | of all previous committees: therefore be it | Resolved, That the executive committee of this General Committee be and hereby is in- strueted to proceed to acquire and reduce to | possession, on behalf of this committee and for the use and benefit of this committee, any money or property of this committee or its predecessor, in the hands of any person or per- sons, and upon scquiring control of the same 10 turn it over to the treasurer of this com- mittee. The eiection of Matt O’Donnell as a member from the Forty-third District and of T. J. Casserly irom the Thirty-sixth was approved. This ended the business of the meeting, and the speeches and hurrah followed. Dr. Stanton received an ovation as he went to the platform, where he briefly’ said : You all know the story of the State Conven- tion. Through a series of misrepresentations and the tricks of Mr. Gould’s programme our delegation was not seated,but a visit to this hall to-night would settle anybody's doubts as to which organization represented the regular Democracy. At Sacramento the Junta tried to Eniil a promise that they would not be hurt in San Francisco.. That was their only fear. The | question as to whether or not this organization shall go in and adminsster the affairs of the Pparty rests with you. Colonel O'Byrne poured forth his elo- queunce loyally, He told that the creden- tials committee at Sacramento adopted the unit rule so as to wholly squelch the Iriends they had in the commiitee. “I would like to know,” said Mr. O’Byrne, “if the Junta people could mus- ter such a gathering as this. There is such an intense respectability among | many of the Junta Democrats that m?’ would shrink from clasping the hard, horny hands of many men in this body who are true to their country and who are ready to sustain their country in peace orin war. Of such Democrats is this body composed. ‘I have taken a stand with this organi- zation and I will be true to the men I stand with. In unity there is strengtl. The enemy may try to break up this organization by taking men away in de- tail, and if that is the policy of the Junta I askyou to stand firm and not desert your friend and neighbor. In ancient Greece, neutrality in time of war was| punished with "death, and he who now fails ¢r falls or remains neutral | deserves political death. This is not the time for oratory. The serried ranks are not face to face. When that time comes I, who come from a race that never turned back to friend or foe, will stand with you, and if we all stand together the people shall rule here in this free and glorious country of ours,’ There were cries for Dunne, but Peter F. Dunne was not present and M. J. Donovan responded to howling calls. He spoke of | Sacramento, the packed jury, the biliings- gate that was successfully opposed to evi- | dence, and the 113 votes for gold in the | Junta delegation. ‘“This committee has done one thing,” continued Donovan. *‘We forced the| Junta to nominate James G. Maguire for | Congress. This is evidenccd by thefact | that less than one-half of the Junta dele- | gation voted to send him to Chicago. We | will keep on until we have not only | elected Maguire, but a municipal ticket | from top to bottom.”” | James H. O’Brien declined to take the | platform when orders to that effect were howled at him, ‘‘A few months ago,” hesaid, “at Metro- politan Hall, they said, ‘We will adjourn this committee sine die and you will never | hear of them again.’ They saia | they adjourned sine die, but they found us in the ring. Then thev | said, ‘We will get the State Committee | to recognize us and that will be the end of | them.” The State Committee recognized them, and then they said, ‘Well, the State Convention will end all trace of them.’ | Tle State Convention has been held and here we are, never having held so large a meeting as this of to-night. “I suppose you have heard that I've been heralded as a candidate for Sheriff, | but I am not a candidate for Sheriff or anything else within the gift of the Demo- | cratic party., I am satisfied to be a| humble member of this General Commit- tee, which is the Democratic organization | ot San Francisco.” T. E. Treacy said that they represented | three-fourths of the Democratic voters. He advised going slowly in the interest of the whole party when a great issue was at stake, and spoke of the absolute necessity of uniting the pa 1l we want,” he said, “is a fair pri- | mary under the auspices of a fair election | board, giving every good Democrat a chance to cast his ballot and have it: counted once. If thatcun be we will have | a solid Democracy.” | Frank J. Fallon and Walter J. Gallagher | alsospoke and then an adjournment to the call of the chair was taken. A. J. Clunie was conspicuous at the | meeting, but by his absence. STOPPED 81 A BEAR R A A e e A L T R T Fear{ful Suspense of a Tourist on a Mountain Pass. A Frightened Horse Almost Backed Its Driver Over a Preci- pice. Black and brown bear are sibgularly numerous this year in the mountains east and west of Cloverdale, and hunting par- ties are being organized for the purpose of having a little sport in chasing shy and artful bruin through the mountainous districts where the “‘berry-hunters’” have | recently been seen. ! Last week a gentleman named Wagner, who was driving from Highland Springs to Pieta, bad a very narrow escape from being mashed into smithereens all be- cause of the sudden and unexpected ap- pearance of a bear, which was evidently on its journey toward the coast. Mr. Wagner was fortunately driving a | very docile animal, to whose good be- havior he attributes his success in having escaped with his life. “I had just reached about half way be- tween the springs and Pieta,” said Mr. Wagner, “when suddenly the horse I was driving stopped, then reared up on his hind feet and commenced to snort. To put it mildly, I was in the deuce of a fix, because where the trouble commenced the road was_narrow and over my left shoulder I could easily look down 500 feet into a canyon which was awful to be- hold, with its treacherous-looking bowl- ders and jageged rocks which were pro- jecting from the side of the mountain. “In an instant I concluded that my only hope was to get the animal on the move and I aprlied the whip briskly to his flanks, as I was apprehensive lest in case | he continued to back the buggy wou!d certainly be forced off the roadbed, and in | that event horse, buggy and driver would | go down to perdition. “You can rest assured that my heart beat more freely when the horse, obedient to the whip, started on a run down the road, and it was at least a mile from the spot where the trouble commenced when I got him under subjugation. 1 could not even surmise what on earth caused the animal to act in such a strange manner until I reached Pieta, when I was in- formed that the horse musi have either got the scent of a bear or had seen the ani- mal close at hand. ““On the following day some of the boys who reside near Pieta got their hounds fo- gether and started off at early morning on a bear hunt. They found tie trail of old bruin, and his footprinis were plainly dis- cernible on the dust of the road, and within 100 yards of the spot where I had such a very unpleasant and unlooked-for experience. “‘Old_bruin had evidently made fast tracks from that part of the country. He probably was as frightened as the horse I was driving, and did not remain over to investigate the cause of the confusion he had created by having put in such a very unwelcorue appearance. The hunters re- | turned without having had an opportunity of bagging big game. The trail was too old and the dogs lost it after having fol- lowed it a mile or so in the direction of the | coast range.” A day or two after Mr. Wagner had such | a close call a sheep-herder drove into the town of Cloverdale with a 500-pound black bear which he had shot on a sheep nnge about ten miles west of Cloverdale. The brute was dpurclmsed by a butcher of the town and shipped to this City. Pos- sibly it may have been the same shaggy tramp which made matters so very un- ;ll asant for Mr. Wagner in his nde from ighlond Springs to Pieta. — . Record Smashed.

The resolutions recite the manifest benefits to be derived from such a gather- ing and call upon the business and pro- fessional men of the City to assist effect- ually those who are working to bring the convention here. The committee having the enterprise in hand have issued a circular letter to the business men and citizens of the City. This letter sets forth the history of the | movement and shows by comparison to | | larly difficult. ! amounts demanded by less numerous or- ganizations the modesty of their request. All the pledge they require is §$25,000, or one-fourth of the amount so readily se- cured for the prospective Republican con- | vention. Itisstated in conclusion that ‘W. H. Crocker, president of the Crocker- Woolworth Bank, has consented to act as treasurer, so subscribers can rest assured that every dollar subscribed will be prop- erly vouched for. In answer to this letter Huegh Craig, resident of the Chamber of Commerce, has writlen to the committee, assuring them of the support of the body which he represents. TO MAKE COTTON GOODS Shanghai Will Crush Out India’s Com- petition and May Threaten This Country. There is a great industrial and manu- | facturing revival in Shanghai since the China-Japanese war, says George W. Noell, who for the last twenty-one years | has been a constant resident at that Ori- | ental seaport, and who is a well-to-do commission merchant and broker among the foreign residents there. Five new cotton-goods factories are be- ing erected. They will be in full opera- tion before the end of the year. Large quantities of cotton are grown by the Chinese in the country inland from the port, so that there will be home pro- | duction and manufacture and a large home consumption of the output of the mills. This will tend, said Mr. Noell yesterday at the Palace, to decrease and almost to supplant the goods formerly imported from India. Already there are 150,000 spindies in op- eration, and when the new factories shall have been completed 200,000 more will be | at work turning out cotton fabrics. ‘Women and children are and will be the principal employes, asthe work of tending the frames is not complicated or particu- They work for about a cent and a half a day, gold value, and that is cheaper than the wages the coolie receives. In addition to the great impetus that has been given to the manufacture of cot- ton, the silk-spinning business has also | taken on new life. Fourteen or fifteen silk filatures are in the process of con- | struction. In them silk wiil be spun from | the cocoon and prepared for the weaver | and manufacturer of silk goods. | Mr. Noell arrived from tre Orient on the 1 Covtic and is bound for England, where he proposes to imske avisit to his old home after an absence of a lifetime in China. He will resume his journey to- morrow, when he wiil start for New York. Shanghai is & city not so large as San Francisco by perhaps 30,000, and the white population, including women and chil- | dren, is about 4500. Three journals are gublished. two evening and one morning, he morning paper, the North China Daily News, has been in the field for over forty years, is the official organ, and is too well established for any would-be rival to attempt to compete with it. From what Mr. Noell has learned during his long experience in Snanghai, this is the greatest boom that has ever struck the place. As to its ultimate effect upon the mannfactories of the United States he cannot predict. ————— Sullivan & Sullivan, Ex-Judge J. F. Sullivan and Matt I.

Finley, pastor of tha Bellevue-avenue Methodist Church, does not think that patriotism and religion go well together. Bome time ago the Fourth of July com- mittee addressed a circular letter to all the members of the pastors of the city request- ing them to deliver a patriotic sermon and display the National colors in their pul- pits the Sunday before the National cele- bration. Rev. Mr. Finley has replied that he does not think that the Sabbath or the church of God should be desecrated Ly be- ing made a Fourth of July celebration or- | gan, and he declines to preach the sermon or allow the pulpit to be draped with the flag.
