RUTHERFORD, Lt e Portland Sporting News. PORTLAND, Or., July 10.—Portland wheel- men who have been up north on the circuit have returnea with fresh laurels. A good deal of complaint is made about the way the man- agement of the Colfax meet treated the riders. Abendroth made some star performances. Tallant, the wonderful miler whom Cali- fornians have been discussing, is not married, is 23 years old instead of 28 and is not the father of a healthy family of children, as erroneously stated fn THE CALL by Captain Lee . The statements have causea Tallant considerable confusion. So great is the inter- est taken in bowling by members of the Oregon Road Club that the present alleys have been found inadequate, aud the cluo is now putting in four additional alleys. This will give the club eight alleys. Hosmer K. ‘Arnold will probably succeed Carroll E. Huges as representativé of the National Cycle Racing Board for Oregon. The new Olympid Athletic Club will give a boxing tourney next Tuesday and Wednesday. Great interest is being taken in the coming tennis tourney of the Seattle club. George Hurd, probably the best playsr in the North- west, is playing in fine form, and will meet Pelton in the finals, The Portland Driving Association holds its summer meet at Riverside to-day. The phenominal jumper, Bert Kerrigan of the Muitonomahs, ‘aiter a severe bout with cherries and ice cream and other danties, has almost recovered from his recent illness. BASEBALL. Players Who Will Participate in the Games To-Day and To-Morrow. There have been several changes in the California Baseball League this week, The San Jose franchise has been taken by Cap- tain J. W. Leonard, while the Oakland franchise has been transferred to Captain J. L. Donovan, “Tip” O'Neill and Louis Hardy. “Hardy will hereatter manage the Ozkland organization, which goes to Stock- ton next Saturday for two games with the Slough City team. This afternoon the San Franciscos will play the San Joses at the Folsom-street grounds. The latter team hasbeen greatly strengchened, the admission of the new Oakland club to the league ailowing sev- eral of the old Oaklands to be transferred to other clubs. Cooney and Tillson will be the opposing pitchers this afternoon, and on Sundsy, when the same teams play azain, Iberg and Doyle will do the twirling. Following is the make-up and batting order for both games: Saturday: San Franciscos. San Franciscos. Iberg. Bwett Murph; Smith Sween; At the Presidio Athietic Park to-morrow the two star teams of the City league will cross bats. The former games between the pair have been very close and exciting. A great rivalry exists, ana, as both clubs play good bali, a clean, lively contest may be expected. Following is the way the teams will line up: LECTURES ON ANARCHY. Henry Addis of Portland Continues the Work of Pietro Gorl. Henry Addis of Portland, Or., lectured Thursday night under the auspices of the local anarchists’ club, at Powell and Union streets, to a large audience. He intends to carry on the work begun here by Pietro Gori, the celebrated Italian anarchist. “The socialists,” said be, “have been ca'ling for an opponent and my friends brought me down here to accommodate them. Now thatIam here they refuse to debate with me. They tell me they want to debate with persons of reputation. #nd they don’t know me. I met Laurence Gronlund in Tacoma in debate and de- cidedly carried the crowd with me,” Addis is known through the Firebrand of Portland as a writer on anarchy. Ar- rangements are to be made for a series of lectures, and bhe intends to speak on “The Value of Proposed Reforms,” “Is Social Revolution Inevitable,” “Mission of Trade Unionism,” *‘Industrial Reconstruction” and *‘Social Reconstruction.” — JUSTICES' COURT FXPENSES, Annual Statement to the Supervisors Rendered by Clerk Williams.

THE SOCIALISTS' IDEA. Oliver Everett Speaks Upon Labor Unions and Party Polities. There was a large attendanceat Thurs- day night’s meeting of the Jewish Branch of the Socialist Labor party at its head- quarters, 970 Folsom street. The address of the evening was by Oliver Everett, who was introduced by William Lewis, the chairman of the meeting. After speaking on the economic advantages offered to the wageworkers by trades associations in the past, Mr, Everett said that the distress universal to-day throughout the country has already resulted in a variety of reme- dies, including the McKinley protection plaster, the Democratic free trade and iree silver coinace remedy, and the Popu- lists are already promising to imitate both old party tactics with its free-coinage Flnnk in the vain hope of decoying the abor vote or stampeding the rural vote into its camp. The Socialisi Labor party has no need to have recourse to any such political gerrymandering or bunco-steering tactics to gain a following. It promises no illu- sory dreams of ease and wealth to those who adopf its party platform. Broadly aiming at the destruction of the wage sys- tem, and pledged to the collective owner- ship of all the opportunities of life, Viz,, the means of production and distribution, it appeals with confidence to all classes of society, and with more par- ticular stress to the toiling millions bend- ing beneath the weight of poverty and oppression to unite under the banner of socialism, promising in return for their solidarity equitable enjoyment and par- ticipation in all the bounties of Mother Nature’s larder. It is the duty, continued Mr. Everet1, of \ N Judge Campbell and S. Jacobson, Dealer in General Merchandise, but Willing to Enter Into Any Business in Which There Is Anything for Himself. upon authority of a chattel mortgage exe- cuted by Mrs, Ferry to 8. Jacobson, devel- oped a marked resemblance to farce- comedy yesterday afternoon. Mrs. Ferry, who was to have been put through a cross-examination by Attorney Robert H. Countryman for the defendant, was reluctantly excused for the time being after Dr. E. J. Fraser had testified that she was suffering from heart trouble and the lady herself had taken the stand and gaaped painfully at every question asked. Jacobson was then put on the stand. Mr. Jacobson was an unwilling witness for the people, but he was a more than williug talker. Every question of -Attorney Mec- Gowan called forth a flood of garrulity from the old man which neither Jndge nor stenographer coula begin to follow. *“You tolk like an alarm clock,” ex- claimed his Honor in despair. “Go a lit- tle slow and see if we can find out what you are talking about.” By dint of patient questioning it wasas- certained that Jacobson resided at 511 Van Ness avenue and did a merchandise busi- ness at 120 Kearny street. He denied that he was a money broker, but admitted “any kind of business comes along I tend to it if there is sometbing in it for me.” He told of baving loaned Mrs. Ferry $1000 with interest at 3 per cent, taking a chat- tel mortgage upor ber furniture. Asked as the particulars of the instrument exe- cuted Jacobsen reglled excitedly, “How should I know. I have honest business on my mind.” “This is not honest business then?” asked McGowan. “No, sir,"” exclaimed the money-lender, excitedly. Judge Campbell saw the old man’s vol- ubility was getting the best of him and ullodyn balt in the proceedings until he hed explained McGowan's question to the witness. Jacobson then said he didn’t mean to call the transaction dishonest. “Where is that note now?" asked Mec- Gowan. “I have got them. I cwn the note yet.” Jacobsor said he had received $30 interest from Mrs. Ferry, At first he declared that was all he had received on account of the note, but afterward admitted he bhad re- ceived $30 more through Flinn. *I went to see her twice,” he said, “and she would not see me. She gave me a square answer. She said ‘Go!’ like that. I'would never go there any more.” Ja- cobson then recounted how he went to Flinn and reproached him for seadin him such & client as Mrs. Ferry hn{ proved. Flinn told him if Mrs. Ferry didn’t pay him he would. “Did you instruct Flinn to take the fur- niture m the house?”’ asked Judge Qampbell. “No; 1didn’t know he was but I had a suspicion,”” was “Does Fli oing to do @ AnSWer. sked i "‘ nn owe you anything?’ "’ was the reply. thing?” ‘Wwas cern . He saw that if Flinn owed him the money he must relinquish his lien upon the furni- ture, while if Mrs. Ferry owed it to him Flinn would have no justitication for seizing the property. The witness tried in vain to evade the issue, but Judge Camp- bell and Attorney McGowan stayed at him mercilessly. At last he said be was looking to both or either of them. All he wanted was his money. ‘Theodore Rytka, an artist, told of the circumstances of the signing by ;(n. Fer: of an alleged bill of sale to Flinn, He said he was sitting back smoking a cigar when Flinn called, and he took only an “grtisticinterest” in the p: gs. His testimony was to the effect that it was dark and Flinn had represented to Mrs. Ferry that she was signing a receint. He also testified to the raid made upon the house by Flinrrand his men, when all the furniture was removed.

The Chamber of Commerce May Send i a Man to Solicit Trade Across the Pacific. { Much importance is attached to the pro- | ject now being considerea by the Chamber of Commerce to send a representative from the Pacific Coast merchants to Japan for the purpose of soliciting foreign trade ana | broadening the commercial interests of | California, particularly of San Francisco. Itis the purpose of the merchants’ organ- izdtion to send a representative man to Japan first as an experiment, and 1f the results of his labors there in stimulating trade are sufficiently encouraging other | representatives will be sent by the Cham- ber of Commerce to other seaport coun- tries, such as Peru, Chile, Brazil, the Sandwich Islands and the countries of Central America. San Francisco has taken the initiative in the matter of seeking for more foreign trade, and the project is being commended on all sides with a strong tide in favor of the dispatching of a competent man in the near future. The matter was to have come up for dis- cussion yesterday afternoon at the meeting of the Chamber of Commerce, but as the delegation from the Board of Traae did not materialize the session was postponed until next Wednesday aftern t Bgra;d ofh 'l;ndle r;wms.y gk e wholesale importing merchants Ban Francisco and the ogneru of n!enn‘:f ships and sailing vessels have been com- plaining for some time past of the laxity of the foreign trade, and it is believed that soliciting among the merchant, abroad and stirring them up will improve the con- dition of affairs. any vessels are now lying in the harbor waiting for charters, while others which are doing duty have ::t plldt u:clr own insurance premiums in e past three years, according to .uAth:nn ?.f tlelgr owners, & e s there isat present no fund in t hands of the Chamber of Commerce fg: defraying the expense of sending a man 1o Japan the amount will be made up by in- dividual subseriptions from the various merchants interested.

THREATS AND DEMANDS A. J. Collins Declared He Would Risk His Life to Secure Justice. - 'CAPTAIN LEES TO THE RESCUE. The Man Who Demanded $25,000 for Alleged Wrongs Allcwed to ; Roam at Large. It is many a long day since the railroad building on the corner of Market and Montgomery streets was the scene'of so much suppressed excitement and mental uneasiness as yesterday. It arose from the visit of A. J. Collins, an ex-employe of the Southern Pacific Company, who came with implied threats against the life of Vice-President H. E. Huntington and extraordinary demands against the corporation. + Collins was formerly engaged in the Los Angeles yards of the company, and had one of his feet badly mangled in an acci- dent while at work. Subsequently he was discharged from the employof the com- pany. This, he alleges, was without just cause and to get rid of him. Bince that time, he declares, he has been persecuted by the company to such an extent that he has become absoiutely destitute. Last fall he created consternation on the fourth floor of the Union Trust Company’s building, wherein are the offices of the Southern Pacific Company, by making an assault on Manager J. A. Fillmore, but without serious results. He has now di- rected his attention to H. E. Huntington, and of late has made persistent though unobtrusive efforts to secure a personal interview with the nephew ot Collis P. Huntington. He called at the railroad offices on Wednesday, but Mr. Hunting- ton was out. He waited around, evidentiy for the purpose of intercepting the object of his search should he enter the building, but became wearied and departed. Collins calied again yesterday morning, waited in the ante-room connected wit| the private office of H. E. Huntingron for about two hours and then left for lunch. He returned about 2 o’clock and, finding that the man he sought was out, de- scended in the elevator to the lobby which opens on Montgomery street. Heliag not long to wait this time, for soon Mr. Hunt- ington, accompanied by Chief Engineer Hood, entered and beaded for the ele- vator. Coilins followed a few feet behina them, intending, undoubtedly, to secure an interview with Huntington in his pri- vate office. When the elevator came down Bert Worthington, Hunungton's private secretary, stepped out and, recog- nizing Collins ~ and apprehensive that trouble might ensue, he stepped in front of Collins and engaged him in conversa- tion, thus allowing his chief to ascend to his office. ‘Worthington left the building on an er- rand for a few moments and when he re- turned to the fifth floor found Collins in the anteroom waiting to see Huntington. He at once telephoned for Captain Lees, and then engaged Collins again in conver- sation. The latter poured out his griev- ances at length and in detail, and wound up by saying that he came not with any intention of doing any one harm, but to secure justice for the wrongs he had been made to suffer from the persecution of the railroad company. He addea that in order to secure this reparation he would not hesitate to risk his life. When asked what be desired he replied that he wanted $25,000. He was offered employment, but said he did not care to go to work for the company again. Meanwhile Captain Lees arrived and was ushered unseen by Collins into the sanctum occupied by Collis P, Huntington when he deigns to visit this City., This office immediately adjoins that of the nephew. Collins was brought into the presence of Lees, and after telling his troubles to the policeman deemed it best to depart, which he was allowed to do. No attempt was madeto search him or to arrest him. The railroad people are in- clined to look upon Coilins as possessing a deranged mind, but Captain Lees’ opinion is that the man is perfectly sane and that he is simply playing a coarse game of blackmail. ‘While Collins was kicking his heels in thé ante-room he made no secret of the purpose of his visit and occasioned con- siderable perturbation in the minds of many of the office attaches. H. E. Hunt- ington, however, showed no signs of un- easiness, and when asked about the sensa- sional incident and the boldjintruder said he knew che man, but had hot seen or agoken to him for at least two years and did not know on what grounds he based his extraordinary demands. MARRIED A GAY DRUMMER, Mrs. Mary E. McQuiddy Is Now Seek- ing a Separation. Mary E. McQuiddy appeared in Judge Black’s court yesterday in a suit for main- tenance. She has applied for a divorce from her husband, Redding McQuiady, and the case is pending in Judge Troutt’s court, Redding McQuiddy is a traveling salesman employed by Reddington & Co., the wholesale druggists. - He isin receipt of a salary of $125 per month, and also re- ceives a commission on goods sold. Mrs. McQuiddy says ber husband is a boid, bad man, bolder than and fully as bldd as the gayest young blood on the Toad. According to her own testimony, Mrs. McQuiddy is herself no angel. Bhe con- fesses to {mvinq taken treatment at the Keeley Institute in Los Gatos, but con- tends'that she only did it to please her husband, and ot because she was accus- tomed to oyer-indulgence in alcobolic stimulants. Nevertheless, she is qnite ai authority on the drink question. In tell- ing of a time when she watched outside a door in the Grand Hotel, her husband, another man and a woman being locked behind it, she said she counted twentv- eight drinks that were carried in. 'he husband’s attorney, among other questions, asked Mrs. McQuiddy if it was nof true that tue reason her husband de- vrivea her of money was because she could not be trusted with it. He claimed at she spent all her coin for liquor. This the witness denied, and asserted that recently she had been in actual want for food, and on one occasion fainted by rea- son tz weakness caused by lack of nourish- men 5 Mrs. McQuiddy denied that her hus- the first floor for the guidance of inquir- hE l:tnng?n.h ¢ § e main ature isa plan 1l on which the dlrecton? hvlue?: -ll:vflr{.:; plainly the location of each department or office aud the entrance thereto.

Weather Prophet Hammon Meets With Success in His Experiments. ‘Weather Prophet Hammon still con- tinueés his kite-flying experiments with gratifying results. At present all of the observations by the Weather Bureau are | made from the surface, or at best from the | tops of high buildings and hills. & Scientific men, however, have invented delicately constructed instruments by which the humidity, temperature, wind velocity, etc., can be determined at eleva- tions above the influence of the conditions at the surface of the ground. The difficulty bhas been to get such an in- strument at the required elevation without the aid of a balioon. The difficulty has been overcome by the flyers of kites, and when this feat 1s brought to something like perfection the little register, which weighs about two | pounds, will be sent into the sky on the tail of a kite, The attempt of Mr. Hammon to send up several kites from the top of the Twin Peaks last Suturday was not a success, as the wind blew such a gale at that point that it tore five of his eight large kites to pieces, On Wednesday he made another and more successful attempt in" this direction at the park. He used piano wire, two pounds to the mile, and sent one kite up 1600 feet on balf a mile of wire. A second kite was fastened on, tandem fashion, and the first kite reached an alti- tude of 2700 feet on a mile of wire. The lifting power proved satisfactory. After a few more trials Mr. Hammon ‘will send up the little instrument to help him in forecasting the weather. GVES HERSELF THE LE Alma E. Josselyn Retracts Her Charges Against George Staacke. Dr. Marten Says She Must Bz Insane or Influenced by Designing Persons. A new phase of the Dr. Marten-Alma Josselyn case came to light yesterday. Some time ago Miss Josselyn sued George Staacke for $50,000 damages for al- leged seduction. Staacke is her grand- father—that is, Alma Josselyn’s fatber is the adopted son of Staacke’s wife. The | young woman declared in her complaint | that when she first came to live in the Staacke home, being then less than 12 years of age, her grandfather by threats and force accomplished her ruin and that their illicit relations extended over a period of several years. Yesterday General W. H. L. Barnes, who was Miss Joscelyn’s attorney, filed paper asking that the case be dismissed. Attached to the request was the following leiter from his client: SAN FRANCIsco, July 9, 1896. General W. H. L. Barnes—DEAR SIR: I re- ceived your message this morning through D. . . In regard to the suit that was filed against my snnshther, George Staacke, I beg to say that what the affidavit contained was false, every word of it, and I was comrelled by | Dr. Arthur Marten to swear to it under threats of death; not only this affidavit, but many other documents; snd under theeir- mstances 1 of you to dismiss the case against Mr, Staacke, a8’ no such a thing ever! happened, and I hope and trust that Dr. Marten may be placed where he belongs. Very respectfully, ALMA E. JOSSELYN. ‘When Dr. Marten, who is still confined m the City Prison, was told of the n’s statement he became greatly excited and exclaimed, *She is crazy; completely out of her head in consequence of her physical condition. When her trou- bles are over she will tell the truth about all these affairs.” When asked if he bad compelled or even advised her to -begin the damage suit against George Staacke he said: * “To be sure I knew about it, but I did not advise her to do as she did in this matter. What I did tell ber was that if she began such an action I, as her hos- band, would stand by her and uphold her honor.. She -has fallen into the hands of sharks, who by the use of money are mak- ing ber say anything that pleases them. ‘When her mind ciears up she will tell the truth, I am sure.” The telephone line between Vienna and ‘Trieste isbehieved to be one of the longest European lines now in operation. It covers a distance of 506 kilometers, or rather more than 314 miles. A LICENSE WAS REFUSED The National Club Will Not Ho!d the Maher-Choynski Fight. Supervisors Declare in Favor of a More Equal Division of Licenses. Unless the Health and Police Committee of the Board of Supervisors changes its mind speedily, the sporting fraternity of San Francisco will be disappointed in re- gard to the Maher-Choynski fight, which was billed to take place before the Na- tional Athletic Club on Augnst 5. The club had a petition for a permit be- fore the committee, and was so sure of re- ceiving it that 1t did not see fit to have a Tepresentative present to urge its claims. The committee, of which Messrs. King, | Benjamin, Dunker and Morganstern were present, were not in a lenient mood, how- ever, and when the petition came up it was refused without a dissenting vote. “There is such a thing as riding a gift horse to death,” ranurkes Supervisor Ben- jamin in explanation of his vote. ow, the National Club has had four or five permits, and I believe that some of the other clubs should have an opportunity. When we ignn',ed the Occidental Club its first permit it was with the understanding that it should have two more, the same as the National Club had when it first started off. “I understand that the Occidental’s first performance was not a success, so now I suppose they will need the other to get even, and we will have to_grant them, as we promised. We refused the St. George Club, a kLighly respectable organization, on the same score, and I don't see how we could favor the National after we have done this. - We had to refuse some of these petitions. We couldn’t grant, them all; if we did, there would be boxing matches every night, and this, of course, would not do. “The Board of SBupervisors do not intend to refuse licenses for boxing entertain- ments altogether, and this committee will recommend certain permits, but the di- vision will have to be more equal among the different ciubs.” It is expected some other club may take up the Maher-Choynski match. SCHOOL TEACHERS' SALARIES. Director J. H. Soper Favors a Liberal Policy. Dr. J. H. Soper, the newly elected School Director, says that he believes in paying iberal salaries to teachers and then re- quiring the best serviee. “‘The salary of the average teacher,” he said, ‘‘is too low at present, and the men and women following it earn far less money than is earned by the representa- tives of the other learned professions. It is unjust, in my opinion, for directors to reduce teachers’ salaries to make up a deficiency in the fund, or to withhold a vart of them for a longer or shorter period of time. Teachers are not supposed to be capitalists, but if they have any money to lend they are entitled to the legal rate of interest for the use of it.” Dr. Soper is chairman of the Supplies Committee and a member of the Qualifi- cations and Visiting committees, ——— The fern is indicative of fascination.

Almost One-Half of the People That Are Born Into This World Have Lost This Birthright Through the Errors of Parents or Ancestors. HOW TO REMEDY THE WRONG Through the transgressions and disre-l gard of the pbysical-laws which govern the human system one-half of the people born into the world commence their exist- ence hereditary wrecks, with feeble con- stitutions, and a lack of.that vitality which is necessary to make life a success. This class of sufferers are not responsible for being born in this deplorable condition, but they are ssmply paying the penalties for the errors committed by parentsor an- cestors against our vhricnl laws, While they are not to biame for the condition in which they come into the world, yet if they néglect to remedy the wrong when the means of relief is within their reach then they are not only respcnsible for their own weakness but for the untold misery and suffering of their posterity. The other half of the people who are born into the world come 1nto it with per- fect health and this greatest of all bless- ings they retain just as long as they obey the laws of nature. Disease to them is a wviolation of these laws and nearly all are transegressors. For such transeressions we receive our g\lnlnhmant, and the amount of punish- ment we have to suffer tii” ml exact roportion to our :bnnu of the la health.
