Smith Is One of the Presidency and | Cannon One of the Twelve Apostles. Two prominent leaders in the Mormon church arrived in this City yesterday from Salt Lake City. They are Joseph F. Smith, one of the three members of the . presidency who have general supervision | of the whole Mormon church, and Abram H. Cannon, one of the Twelve Apostles who are directly under the presidency, and who have charge of the missionary work of the church. Both the gentlemen are stopping wich Henry S. Tanner, the president of the California Mormon Mission, which meets every Sunday morning and evening at Pythian Castie. The local branch of the chureh consists of about 150 members. Messrs. Smith and Cannon, who are fine speakers, are visiting this City both for pleasure and in connection with | church work as. well. To-day they will speak at Pythian Castle, 909 Market street, | tve morning at 11 and in the evening 7:45. Their stay here will be very at brief, us they will probably leave on Mon- | day or Tuescay. Most of the time of the distingnished | ieaders now visiting the City is taken up with church work—preaching and travel- Ing between. the various missions. Like | all officers of the Mormon church they | receive no salary whatsoever and pay | their own expenses, | ““The officers of the Mormon church work for the love of truth as they under- | " stand it,” said Elder J. R. Sheppard, who | has been working in the interests of the church at San Jose. - ““There are 1000 Mor- mon elders in the world and twenty-three in Califorma, all of whom work without | any compensation.

The Imported Leprosy Rem- edy Is Not on the Free List. PUZZLED THE OFFICERS. Collector Wise Has His Memory Refreshed by a Very Old Decision. BELIEF OF THE SUPERVISOR. Dr. Goto’s Japanese Remedy Is Said to Be Miraculous in Its Effectiveness. Collector Wise, after two or three days of exquisite agony, determined yesterday that the Japanese specific for leprosy im- ported by Supervisor Benjamin in the matter, the directions being to ‘‘mix one in five teacups of water, eighteen ounces, condense into two-thirds and drink every morning.” In the smaller box a Jot of bullet-shaped pellets were seen and the afflicted person is instructed to take one each mornming. “If loss of appetite is felt take it little”’ is Dr. Goto’s closing instruc- tion. Supervisor Benjamin will haye 'the remedy out next Tuesday. He has an abiding faith in its powers ana believes that the next six months will witness a wonderful change in the condition of those for whom it is intended. There is a young man at the Pesthouse who took the cure | once in Honolulu and it arrested the prog- ress of the leprosy. He declares that he has witnessed actual cures from the con- tinued use of the Japanese savant’s specific. THE CHUTES TO-DAY. Essie Viola, the Young Aeronaut, Will Make & Balloon Ascension and Parachute Jump. The Chutes as they now stand will ovened to-day for the last time from 10 o’clock in the morning until 11 at night. At half-past 4 Essie Viola, the nervy young aeronaut, will make a balloon as- cension and parachute drop. Her per- formances are always successful and she hopes to make a long leap to-day. Until the Fourth of July the Haight- street grounds will remain closed. Then the grand reopening will take place, and the new 3300-foot scenic railway, haunted swing, water chutes, trolley, merry-go- round and other out-of-door attractions will be in full operation, and the big pa- vilion, with a host of features new to San Francisco, will be thrown open. There will be a Russian orchestra oi eighteen pieces, a wonderful colored vocalist called the “Black Patti,” a high-wire walker, a baboon, dog and monkey circus and the marvelous Marlo-Dunham family. Per- P Supervisor Benjamin Views With Pride His Imported Leprosy Cure. nope of helping the fourteen leper in-| mates of the pesthouse, was subject to | duty, and further that the ssme must be paid prior to its removal from the Custom- house. Mr. Wise’s decision, however, was prompted by the accidental discovery of a ruling made by the General Appraisers case. The Collector had about agreed with | Mr. Benjamin that the specific was enti- | tled to free entry when one of bis clerks brought to light a decision by General Ap- praiser Summerville, rendered June 6, 1895, which reads as follows: The merchandise coyered by the protest in | this case consists of twenty bottles of & | medicinal preparation known as “antitoxine,” | which was imported under the tariif act of August, 1894, and was assessed for duty at 25 per cent ad valorem under paragraph 59 of said act as a medicinal 1 not especially provided for therein. The article is claimed to be free of duty | under paragraph 585 of said tariff act as a scientific preparation specially imported in zood faith for the use of a society or institu- preparation | tion incorporated or established for religious, | philosophical, educational or scientific or lit’ | erary purposes, and not intended for sale. We find as a matter of fact that the mer- | chandise in question was imported by the city of Chicago, a municipal corporation in | the State of Illinois, for free distribution by | the health department of said city to certain | hospitals. 2 | We hold_that a municipal corporation like | the city of Chicago is nota society or instit tion of the kind described in said paragraph | 585, and that the importation is therefore not | free of duty. The protest is overruled aud the | Collector’s decision affirmed. The contention of Mr. Benjamin was | | founded on section 585 of the Wilson tariff | | bill, which says: Philosophical and scientific apoaratus, uten- sils, instruments and preparations, including | bottles and boxes containing the same; stat- | uary, casts of marble, bronze, alabaster or | plaster of paris; Yain!lngs, drawings and etchings, specially imported in good faith for the use of any society or institution incor- porated or established for religious, philo- | sophical, educational, scientific or literary | purposes, or for encouragement of the fine | arts, and not intended for sale. The Supervisor held that the remedy | wasa ‘“‘scientific preparation,” and as it | was imported for charitable purposes, | came well within the law. Collector Wise entertained similar ideas and was on the eve of ordering the goods delivered to Mr. Benjamin, when Summerville’s decision was discovered. The Collector was sorry that this thing had been unearthed and readily admitted to the philanthropic Supervisor that San Francisco, consider- | ing the tax levy and the hundreds of extra | men drawing fat salaries, was certainly a | charitable institution, put the law was | plain and must be enfor The value of the importation is hardly $200, the duty amountinz to $4025. This will be paid next Tuesday. Among_ the Japanese and others who bave had indirect experience with Dr. Goto's leprosy cure there is an abiding faith as to its efficacy. Mr. Benjamin has | aid particular attention to the unhappy inmates of the Pesthouse and in many ways endeavored to assist them. Some time ago he heard of the Goto remedy and immediately determined to secure a sup- ply for the local sufferers. {n a short time some $200 was collected and an order for- warded to the Japanese physician for ;suc‘l} a quantity as the inclosed would uy. The last steamer from the Orient brought the remedy, and incidentally a | surprise to the Supervisors. Instead of a convenient package such as could be easily carried there came to the address of Mr. Benjamin four large cases weighing fully a ton. In the Apnpraisers’ building one of the cases was opened, and then more than a hundrea little square boxes were seen. There are three remedies in one—iwo to be taken internally and the third in the form of a. bath. In the latter case the patient is in- structed to place the herbin a linen bag, which is then to be deposited in a bath- tub in water 90 degrees Fahrenheit. The water mnst cover well the shoulders 3 one through with twice between the ours of 9 A. M. and 4 ». M. Every five days a rest must be en.

AFFLICTED FOR ~ YEARS, Mrs. Pearson After Long Suffer- ing Finds Relief From Her Troubles. A Wonderful Cure Effected by the Remedies of W. H. Druhe, a Native Son. Any one who has ever been a victim of rheumatism and has suffered the tortures that an aggravated and long-standing at- tack of this ailment brings feels, do doubt, when cured, a degree of thankfulness that is with dfficulty put into words. These were the sentiments to which Mrs. M. E. Pearson gave utterance when seen yester- day at her home, 119 Fifth street, in this City. The lady is a prominent member of the Daughters of Rebekah, being a mem- ber of Amity Lodge. She formerly lived at Sacramento, ana prior to that time was She said in response to a request for a statement regarding her suffering from rheumatism and how she was cured that her affliction dated back over six years. During all that time she suffered terribly from an aggravated form of rheumatic gout that affected hér whole system, prin- cipally her feet, hands and shoulders. She tried all sorts of remedies and con- sulted many capable doctors, who pre- scribed for 'her, but among them all she failed to find relief. She stated that she was unable to rest nights,could not eat or sleep, had no ambition and was very M'NAB AND RAINEY SAVED THE DAY, A Municipal Convention Coup Failed by Three Votes. M'NAB NEARLY DOWNED The Junta Campaign Committee Wrestles With a Remark- able Scheme. “DECENCY” AND “DEMOCRACY.” A Brilliant Plan to Make the Geperal Committee the Municipai Convention. Gavin McNab combined with Ed Lani- gan and Sam Rainey Friday nightin a mo- ment of great emergency and for the time saved himself and his lieutenant, Chair- man Sullivan, from utter rout in the Junta. By this combination in a meeting of the Junta’s campaign committee a remarkable political coup, by which the Junta General Committee of 450 with the addition of 150 Buckleyites was to be declared the mu- nicipal nominating convention, was de- feated by three votes. The situation, as it developed, showed that in the campaign commit ee at least twelve of the twenty are ready to dump McNab and Sullivan, but they can’t et to- gether to do it. The sch me that was suddenly sprung that night was the most wonderful of all the wonderful schemes which this pic- turesque political aggregation has yielded. It iliustrates vividly the condition of this “‘anti-boss’ organization which McNab has led into the wilderness, carrying the ban- ner of ‘‘decency.” It shows how thorou ghly the Junta isracked with dis- sensions and boss-ridden. The scheme was hatched mainly by Samuel Braunbart, Port Warden, and | Dr. W. J. Gavigan. Gavigan has split | away from Lanigan, has no use for Mc- Nab and occupies an independent posi- ion. Braunbart has long been scorned wnd reviled by McNab and Sullivan. Braunhart, Gavigan and others in the ganization constitute an element opposed to both the Rainey-Daggett-Lanigan com- bination, which now has secured a major- ity of the General Committee, and to Mc- | Nab, who with Sullivan and Hassett runs- things without much consultation with | others. | This element wants to beat out Sam | Rainey, but it is also “'leery”’ of that reor- ganization scheme which McNab has up his sleeve, and about wbich he says, *‘Sh— sh!’” and “Wait! wait!” They know that | McNab’s scheme is to get the State execu- tive committee which Frank Gould is to appoint soon to appoint a committee of fifty at his suggestion to reorganize the party into his hands. It was also known that the Rainey pro- rramme is to force soon a meeting of the. General Committee to abolish the present campaign committee and from these premises it was figured out that if the present campaign committee could ap- point the muricipal convention to meet in September the wo rk would be done and the thing settied before Rainey got the committee abolished. The easiest way to create a convention was to appoint the whole General Com- mittee and overcome Rainey’s small majority by adding 150 more. For these representative Buckleyvites would be largely selected, and this, it was figured out, would sufficiently weaken the Buckley side. A large majority of the campaign com- mittee was secured for this a day or two ago, but it reached McNab’s ears, When he and Chairman Sullivan got over the hysterics they pulled down enough to de- feat it. Braunhart and Gavigan knew that they had eicht votes sure, hoped for one or two more and that some of the opposi- tion would not attend. But McNab saw that every member was on hand. McNab's only hope lay with the Rainey- | ites, and just before the meeting he easily | arranged that the four Rainey and Lani- gan votes should go against the scheme. Routine business was disposed of, and then R. L. Mann, the member from the Thirty-fourth District, rose to offer a reso- Intion. At McNab’s prompting James | Butier moved 10 adjourn, and Chairman Sullivan recognized Butler to choke off what he knew was comini. An adjourn- ment was declared and then Braunhart rose in wrath with an eloquent protest. Then followed a balf hour’s wrangle in executive session, during which the pro- ceedings were rather hot and informal. | The resolution was not formally offered, but tha subject was discussed. McNab eloquently urged that the thing ‘was premature. Braunhart swore that it { was the only way to keep the works out of Ramey’s claws, and that if Rainey did succeed in abolishing the campaign com- much discouraged over her condition. Not long ago she was induced to try the Herbal Remedies of William H. Druhe. This she did, taking in aduition thereto two electro-magnetic treatments daily, administered by Mr. Druhe, and used also his Red Star Rheumatic Salve. This treatment she pursued for eleven weeks and now she says she is fully cured and that the pains and swellings have all disappeared. Her appetite is restored, she sdleglps soundly and is gaining in strength aily. Mr. Druhe, who is an electro-magnetic heeler and herbalist and whose offices are at 1026 Market street, feels very much pleased over the cure effected in the case of Mrs. Pearson and says that she is but one among many that he has treated with equal success. Mr. Drahe is a native son, having been born in this City thirty-seven years ago. He is the son of J. H. Druhe, a well-known capitalist of San Francisco who died in 1890. He waseducated in Con- cordia College, Fort Wayne, Ind., and has for years made a study of herbs and their medicinal properties. . Sentenced to State Prison. Judge Belcher yesterday sentenced William White and Frank Dolan to ten years each in Folsom. They were recently found guilty of attempt to commit burglary, and as they both had prior convictions agaiust them his Honor Wwas not disposed to be lenient. F. G. Coney, for a first attempt to commit burelary, was sentenced to one year in San Quentin. Detectives on Guard. The New England Burglary Insurance Company, a new departure in the insur- ance business, issues policies that insure against loss by burelars, including dama- ges to property by the use of explosives, etc., by the burgiars. The company em- ploys the famous Pinkerton detective agency to trace ali burglars, and all who insure in this company have at their dis- posal the vast resources of this agency for recoyerin: stolen property. If it is not recovered the loss is made good by the company. —————— 11O0nly 9 per cent of the soldiers actually ;ng&sge‘t in war are killed on the field of attle. mittee the convention would be already created. 2 He threw in some intimations that the committee was not, in fact, composed of McNab’s dummies. Dr. Gavigan and R. L. Mann joined in supporting the proposition, and M. C. Hassett heiped McNab oppose it. There were exchanges of tart compliments, and finally the meeting broke up without a vote being taken on the proposition or the resolution read. Braunhart and others said that another meeting woald be held soon and the resolution adopted. The proposition illustrates the extent to which McNab had absolute sovereignty vested in the campaign committee, which he expected to be able to control. The language of the constitution vesting this power is quoted in the resolution, which was as follows: ‘WHEREAS, Section 7 of article III of the con- stitution provides that “The campaign com- mitiee shall be intrusted with the care and proper management of ell preliminary cam- puign work, and shall determine and establish the same for the best interests of the Demo- cratic party”; and whereas, the Lest in- terests “of " the Democratic party now demand that ‘the campaign commit- tee shall forthwith determine and estab- lish as prehminar{ to a successful cam- paign the number of delegates to comprise the convention to be heid for the purpose of nomi- nating municipal and legislative officers; also to provide for the selection of such delegates and to fix the time for their meetingin con- vention; therefore, and by virtue of the afore- said constitutional power vested in the cam- paign committee, be it Resolved, That the number of the member- ship of the nominating convention be and it is hereby fixed at 600 delegates; Resolved, That all the eiigible members of the General Committee be and they are hereby declared members of and appointed delegates to said nominating convention. Resolved, That the campaign committee desiznate and appoint 100 delegates at large to such nominating convention. Resolved, Thatsald nominating convention shall assemble on Monday evening, September 4, 1896, at 8:30 . M. Resolved, That any member of the General Committee who is not eligible to a :eat in the convention by reason of holding a public office be and is hereby authorized to appoint & suit- able man to act as delegate in his place. The eight general anti-boss votes ready to adopt this resolution were the following: Secretary J. F. McGovern, M. Tierney, Samuel Braunhart, George H. Love, John O'Donnell, R. L. Mann, Dr. W. J. Gavigan and Peter Quinn. The four Rainey-Lanigan votes were: Edward Lanigan, James Haskins, John Fitzpatrick and Joseph Hayes. McNab has but five vates close to him- self—Gavin- McNab, W. P. Sullivan, M. C. Hassett, /'Timothy Donovan and James Butler. Besides these five votes and the Rainey strength there stood opposed to the proposition that night P.J. Harney, George T. Marye and A. A. Watkins, who maintain an independent position. It is possible that enough of those with the opposition last night will vote for the measure to carry it soon and that the Junta will seek to maintain the purity and dignity of the party and achieve its success by this programme. This or some other picturesque develop- ment is likely to furnish further entertain- ment within a few days. Mr. Rainey is quite busy and Mr. McNab will not be affected with ennui for some time. Ed Lanigan resigned as a member of the campaign committee, and his friend, John N. Mueh, was appointed in his stead. Action was tflEen to stimulate regisira- tion, A committee was Apgointed to ask Registrar Hinton to keep his office open three evenings a week. A committee to arrange for a ratification was ordered ap- pointed, and Chairman Sullivan was au- thorized to envage new headquarters, which will probably be in the Emporium building.

DENOUNCE THE CHARTER, The American Women’s Liberal League Replies to J. Rich- ard Freud. Resolutions Condemning It as Reac- tionary, Bisoted, Illiberal and Unjust. At a meeting of the American Women’s Liberal League, held yesterday at their headquarters, Nucleus building, the fol- lowing resolutions were unanimously adopted: WHEREAS, J. Richard Freud, secretary of the Merchants’ Association, has ‘‘no intention of discouraging the ladies of the American Women’s Liberal League in their commend- able enthusiasm in tue public welfare”; and whereas, all enthusiasm commendable - or otherwise in the public welfare is dampened by finding public men defending public meas- ures by misrepres ntation and misstatements; and whereas, J. Richard Freud defends the clause in the charter requiring teachers in the primary classes of our public schools to be educated in the school system of this State by saying that it refers only to teach- ers to be engaged hereafter, etc.; and whereas, the real objection to this | feature = is an objection of principle, namely in the first place that every mother knows that the requirements for teachers in the primary and grammar classes are far higher, far more exacting than the require- ments for teachers in more advanced grades, because not only is the schooling of the vast majority of children confined to those grades, but also because the management of children at the age they frequent those grades demands the highest teaching ability; and in the sec- | ond place that it is the right of American parents to secure the best teachers, no matter where educated, for their children; and in | the third place that it is unjust to our fellow- citizens from other States and other schools to brand them with & mark of inferiority in our school system; and in the fourth place that this clause was inserted to carry out the endsof the A. P. A,, which (like the coward who inserted this clause in the charter) is | aftraid to say out before the people what it | really wants; and whereas, J. Richard Freud states that this is a principle of patronizing home production; and whereas, there is no monopoly in brains and no tariff in |enrninf: and whereas, the schools of the peopie should be open to sll the children of the Eeople, whether as teachers or scholars; and whereas, it is un-American, barbarous and absurd to recognize in teaching any test but moral and intellestual fitness; and whereas, J. Richard | Freud states that if this principle is not found a desirable feature it can be amended; and whereas, the charter can be amended only within not less than two years and by a three- fifths vote of the electors and with the ap- proval of both houses of the State Legislature; | and whereas, it would be under these circum- stances about as easy to amend the charter as for Freud to look graceful in a strait- jacket; and whereas, it is dishonest to speak of amending a charter which in all human probability can never beamended; and where- as, it only befits babes and sucklings to build up a structure in order to pull it down atonce; and whereas, sensible men, and women, too, have learned to decline Grecian gifts or Trojan horses and to have a reasonable dresd of Chinese charters; therefore be it Resolved, That we condemn Richard J. Freud’s letter as impertinent in its inception, | supercilious in its tone, fallacious in its reason- | ing, sophistical in its deductions, misleading in its insinuations and vitiated with untruti; and be it further Resolved, That the women of the American Liberal League do not intend to allow them- | selves to be discouraged in their enthusiasm | in the public welfare by the strictures or rodo- | montade of any mere man; and be it further | Resolved, That we are indignant to find the Merchants’ Association of this City permitting its secretary to defend a bad clause in a worse ! charter by misrepresentation and misstate- ment; and be it further ! Resolved, That it is no defense to a narrow, bigoted, malicious and unjustifiable measure to say that itonly acts on future teachers, or on the teachers in the primary or grammar grades; and be 1t further " Resolved, That these grades require the best and most jcapable teachers wherever such NEW TO-DAY.
