THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, WEDNESDAY, JULY 15, 1896. 13 IF A CITIZEN, G0 AND REGISTER, The Rush Has Already Begun, and Your Time Is Short. A DOUBT IS ON HAND. The City’'s Registration Record Was Broken Yester- day. NEARLY THREE THOUSAND. The Iroquois Club Test of Precinct Registration Has Been Aban- doned. Central office registration ends Au- gust 3. Precinct registration, which is doubtful legality, closes August 8. Register at once, or you may not vote. of The rush for registration has begun. It will increase, and from now on citi- zens who want to register will be sub- jected te the constantly increasing annoy- ance of waits and crowds. George H. Francceur, chairman of the Iroquois Club special committee on regis- tration, has abandoned the contest of the legality of precinct registration, which he had definitely ptanned four days ago. Mr. Francceur, the Iroquois Club, the Regis- trar, the Election Commissioners and all parties interestea in registration were anx- ious fora test of the legality of precinet registration, but nobody has appeared willing to assume the possible onus that might attend such a contest. The consequence appears to be that!pre- cinct registration will be held by the Reg- istrar from August 3 to August 8. Many voters will be registered in that time. There are all sorts of possibilities that before election an action may be be- gun by somebody to remove from the reg- ister all names added during precinct reg- istration or that after election somebody may contest the legality of the election on the ground that the precinct registration was illegal. No citizen’s vote will be safe unless his name is registered on or before August 3, and as this is an unusual time betore the election for the close of registration there is danger that thousands will be dis- frarchised. The registration yesterday broke all rec- ords, amounting to 9798. if the tull vote of the City is repistered within the brief time that remains. The registration for Monday was 2538. From now on the Registrar’s office will be open each evening from 8 to 10 . M for the accommodation of voters. Every voter who delays registration risks disfranchisement or lays up added inconvenience. POINT LOBOS PROGRESS, The Improvement Club Has Its Hands Full of Busi- ness. Protests Against the TUse of Red Rock in Paving S:venth Avenue, The Point Lobos Improvement Club held an important business meeting at its clubrooms on Fifth avenue, near Point Lobos avenue, last night. The membership was well represented and a lively interest was taken in the sub- ject matters of discussion. A report was submitted by the executive committee to the effect that the railway company intended to lay basalt blocks be- tween the car rails on Sixth avenue. The committee report advocating a pro- test against the using of red rock on Beventh avenue instead of blue rock, as per contract, was adopted. Secretary Johnson’s report showed that the Richmond District Club had stolen the thunder of the Point Lobos Club in the matter of the protest against the bituminizing of Lake street from First to Second avenues and from Lake to Point Lobos. He had gotten an ibkling that the Supervisors intended to prosecute the proposed work and he had conferred with Secretary Fletcher of Richmond district with a view to bolding a joint special meetini. Secretary Fletcher thought it would be better to wait, but Mr. Johnson got up an extensively signed protest, only to find that Richmond was in ahead of nim. J. C. O’Connor’s motion to establish an eighth grade at the Richmond School, Point Lobos and First avenues, was re- ferred to the executive committee for im- mediate action. The Richmond Banner was recognized as the official organ of the ciub. F.T. Newberry, Luke Battlesand W, P. Johnson were appointed a committee to look after James Winslow, who fell down a hatchway. The committee is still at work on the Geary-street franchise matter and reported progress. NEARLY TWO CENTURIES AGO. Gleanings ¥rom a Geography Published in 1716. The book says: “In the English colonies no tax can be immposed without the con- sent of the Assemblies,”” a fact which it would have been better had George II1 remembered fifty years later. Enthusiasm chiefly prevailed in Pennsylvania, “‘that country being stocked with Quakers.” Our author attributes such fierceness to the condor, that he says: ‘‘Chile wounld not be habitable were that destructive bird less rare.”’ As for Jamaica, which was then, perhaps, our wealthiesc colony, the recent terrible earthquake of 1692 is ascribed ‘‘rather to moral than natural causes, on account of the abominations of the in- habitants calling for judgment from Heaven.” The planters are solemnly warned to care for the despised souls of their neero slaves and not to believe and be frightened by the vulgar error that baptism of slaves means giving them freedom. We are assured, on the authority of eye-witnesses, “that the crocodile of Haiti, before lying in wait to cateh prey, swallows several hundred weight of pebbles, by which aaditional weight he can the sooner dive with his victim." Our feogu her appends a very clear tabie of the five great colonial empires of 1716 — namely, e_ Spanish, sh, French, Dutch and Portuguese. 1Itis im- But all records | will have to be broken daily from now on | possible to glance at this old book without being struck by the magnitude of the revolutions which have taken place in the last two centuries through scientific prog- ress, geographical discovery and politi- cal changes. In 1716 Sweden, Hol- land and Turkey were still regard- ed as might; glc tors in Euro) wars and complications; the Great M‘:gul was still considered one of the most pow- erful monarchs of the world, and the em- sxre of the King of Spain might still be escribed as one on which the sun never set. Australia, New Zealand and almost the whole interior of Africa were blanks, and the gigantic republic of America un- dreamed of by the most ardent imagin: tion. But the most striking fact of all is, Wwhether under the Union Jack or the Stars and EMY“' the stupendous march of the Anglo-Saxon race.—Chambers’ Journal. ——————— THE LABOR UNIONS. Many Meetings Are Being Held at 915% Market Street. Since the Labor Bureau Association has been at 915} Market street the labor unions have been gradually centralizing in the new Ralls fitted up in the premises. Within the past two weeks Carpenters' Union No. 483, Plasterers’, Painters’, Dis- trict Council of Carpenters, Lathers’, Paper-hangers’ and Building Trades Council bave decided to meet in the bu- reau’s new quarters. e The lronmolders’ Union is preparing for its ann nal picnic, which will be held at Sunset Park next Sunday. Many of the molders will carry with them their old clothes, as a swift-footed porker, which will be well greased, has been offered as a prize to the man who captures it. The Fraternity of Hotel and Restaurant Employes met Monday night at the Turk- street Temple, President Fred Morf in the chair. After transacting routine business the social committee announced that a generous collation awaited the members in an adjoining room, to which all were invited. A good programme was ren- dered. —_— EQUALIZERS AT WORK. A Number of Assessments of Small Property-Owners Reduced. The Valuations of Property South of the Park Are Claimed to Be Excessive. The Board of Supervisors began its labors as a Board of Equalization yester- day morning and listened to a large number of complaints from small prop- erty-owners. In the majority of cases the protests were listened to to the extent of splitting the difference between the Asses- sor’s figures and those claimed to be cor- rect by the property-owners. Assessments were reduced as follows: Bridget Powers, improvements on Treat av- enue, 220 feet south of Twenty-fourth street, $2000 to $1500. Golden West Building and Loan Association, lot on Broderick street, $5600 to $4900. J. W. A. Borland, improvements on lot on Folsom street, near Ninth, $250 to nothing, on account of fire. Hennah Becker, improvemenis on lot on Oak stree: near Buchanan, $2500 to $2250. Mrs. Mary Moore, lot on Elizabeth street, near Dimond, $1380 to $1200, and lot on Elizabeth street, near Castro, $1380 to $1200. Mary J. Boyd, improvements on loton Ellis street, near Larkin, $1400 to $1200. John Boyd, improvements on lot on Hayes street, near Buchanan, $3250 to $2950. C. L. Patton, lot on Fifteenth street, near Castro, $650 to £500. Mary E. Farnsworth, improvements on lot | on Laurel avenue, near First avenue, $300 to nothing; house burned. 7 Ray Wertheimer, improvements on lot o Pacific street, near Webster, $7500 to $6000. J. W, and K. Riley, improvements on lot on | Pierce street, south of Page, $3500 to $3000. To-day has been set for the hearing of the banks and other big corporations who have sent in protests against their assess- ments. Some of the property-owners south of the park will appear before the board in order to get a time appointed when they | may protest against what they consider | the excessive valuation of their property. They claim to have been assessed from two to three times more than they were In 1895 and that the figures are unjust. Among the protesting property-holders are Bol Getz, C. W. Wright, Herman J. Sadler, Theodore Hittell, Wendell Easton, Adolph Sutro, John T. Doyle, Dr. John Nightingale and othe; ——————— Crushed His Fingers.

A Lame Defense in Which Even Scrip- ture Is Quoted. A significant contribution to the dueling question in Germany has been published in the official “Militar-Wochenblatt.”” The writer divides his article into two sections, dealing respectively with the “idea of honor and the employment of the duel for its rehabilitation,” and with the conflict be- tween the practice and Christian princi- ples. As to the first point, he argues that a distinction must be drawn between ‘“external and internal’” honor. The latter, which is a good eonscience, cannot be taken away; but the former, which is the recognition of one’s pernon-l worth by others, must be defended at ali costs. It is by staking one’s life for this honor, when impugned, that its rebabili- tation is possible. The innocent man who falls in a duel hn{om 10 his deatn as it were for the sake of his honor, while the guilty person has restored his honor ex- ternally and must settle the rest with his Maker.- The author then proceeds to de- clare that the officers’ corps possesses a peculiar sort of honor which is closely connected with its martial profession. In war the officer’s duty is tolead his men into the jaws of death, and the fear of death which seizes even the bravest can only be overcome by hnldln§ fast in time of peace to the principle ‘‘death before dishonor.” Herein lies the educational value of the duel for the officers. They may never fight one, but they know that they must be ready to do so in certain circumstances. **We are accustomed,”’” he adds, *‘to retain well-tried methods and do not intend to sacrifice them to well-meant but false theories.’’ The writer then qunotes and expounds a I number of passages from the Bible, and by dint of twisting and turning vroves to his own satisfaction that the practice is not forbid- den by Christianity.—New York Post. On the death of a person in Madrid it is the general custom to close for nine days one of the outer doors of that person’s late resid PROVIDING HOME FOR BOYS bpening of the New Head- quarters on Taylor Street.

Superintendent of Streets Ashworth fin- ished his annual report of the transactions of his department yesterday and sent the same to the Board of Supervisors. The document, which iz a voluminous type-written affair, sets forth every con- tract which has come under the jurisdic- tion of his office, and the financial status | of each. It shows that during the past fiscal vear there have been constructed in this City over six miles of bituminous rock pave- ment, over two and a half miles of basalt rock pavement, one-eighth of a milé of cobble pavement, one and one-third miles of brick sewer and about nine and a half miles of ironstone pipe sewer. The amount of new street work accepted during the year is given as nine miles, making a total of 152 miles now in use. Mr. Ashworth says thst a law should be passed permitting the bondsmen of con- tractors to take up and finish jobs left un- finished by the latter, in order to protect themselves from loss. He devotes considerable space to the condition of streets bordering on the water front, which he declares to be in very bad condition and in need of imme- diate attention. Coming down to firances, the Superintendent telis what has become of the appropriation of $526,500 voted to the Btreet Department by the Board of Bupervisors at the time the last tax levy rooms of the ‘‘Boys’ Training Home,” 409 re- sewers, £62,566; wages on parks and squares, 20,250+ Con ounty roads, $7319; 1o o0 188 %! This leaves a surplus of $1311 78 in the Street Department funds. AN AGED STRANGER DIES Found Fully Dressed and Lying on His Bed at the Russ House Yes- terday Morning. G. W. White, 73 years old, was found dead in his room at the Russ House yes- terday morning. White reacted the City on the morning of July 8, going directly to the Russ House, where he registered from Bement. He spent his days visiting public resorts and ol,ceu of amusement, and though never lavish with his money appeared to have plenty. Monday night he paid his bill, announc- ing at the time that he intended leaving the next day. Yesterday morning he ap- peared as usual, and, after walking around the office for an hour, repaired to his room. About 11'0’clock the chambermaid bad occasion to enter his room, but finding the door bolted from the inside, reported the fact at the office. Lateran entrance was effected and White was found lying on the bed dead. His coat was thrown carelessly over a chair, but everything else was in perfect order. From appearances the de- ceased had suddenly grown tired and had laid down to snatch a few moments’ rest. White’s one piece of baggage, a large- sized satchel, was carefully packed, and in the bottom was found a pursé contain- $8. There is no such place as Bement on the Pacific Coast, but there is a postoffice bearing that name in Illinois. The author- ities at that point were notified of White's death, but up to a late hour last night no reply had been received. Tae only paper found in the room was a receipt from a firm in Tauscon, Ariz. —eeee i FLIRY WS I TRESPISSER D. M.

Details of Street Department A Surplus Left—Some Suggestions es Judge Campbell Orders Him to Return Mrs. Ferry’s Fur- niture at Once, His Honor Again Comments Forcibly Upon the Lack of Usury Laws on the Statuts Books. The search warrant case of Mrs. E. P: Ferry of 1107 Bush street against John W. Flinn, auctioneer, 321 Sutter street, was concluded before Judge Campbell yester- day afternoon, and the Judge made an order that she should bave her furniture returned to her. Theodore Kryttler, the artist, was re- called for the defense, but nothing new was elicited from him. Then 8. Jacobson was recalled, and he admitted that he did not instruct Flinn to carry off the furni- ture on July 2. He fenced with the ques- tions put to him, and when taxed with en- deavoring to shield himself from future actions he cheerfully acknowledged its truth. Two teamsters and an employe of Flinn, who were present when the furniture was seized and carted away, gave unimportant testimony, and Attorneys Countryman | and McGowan presented their arguments. Judge Campbell in giving his decision said: *Personally I have no feeling in this matter, and I shall do what I regard as legally my duty, and nothing else. *“From all the facts, written and verbal, I have no hesitation in_saying that Flinn had no right to go into Mrs. Ferry’s house and take her furniture. “Men, through avarice and greed, over- look that quality of mercy we hear about. Hero is a woman striiggling, hard for an existence, and on a mere technicality her furniture is taken from ber, although the note is not due for about three months yet. .Ia these technical cases men gain possession of that to which, in equiiy, they are not entitled. If the note had been due the case would have bzen dii- ferent. *Let me say, however, that the note is an iron-clad, unconscionable document, which I cannot tolerate. The idea ot charging 3 per cent, compound interest! | It is simply an outrage. It is all wrong and contrary to a system of civilized gov- ernment; it is inhuman and unjust and the law should not tolerate it. ‘The sooner we have a usury law the betier it will be for all concerned, except, possibly, the money-lenders. I repeat that Flinn was clearly a tres- passer, and if I were a Judge sitting on a claim for damages against him I should award a liberal amount. Flinn took away the property wrongfully, and the goods must be returned to Mrs. Ferry at once. That is my order.” OHAMPAGNE DELUSIONS. The Sweet Variety Is Acquitted of the Respousibility for Gout. Some delusions about champazne—de- lusions, at all events, according to Dr. George Harley—are dispelled in an article which that physician has written for the June number of the Contemporary Re- view. *“Young men,” he says, *‘who pre- fer strength to flavor not only sometimes add brandy to champagne, but even dzink it iced in the coldest weather. They do not know that it requires a temperature of 66 Fahrenheit to bring out in perfection the more delicate of the vinous aromas of sparkling wines. Lord Palmerston was ngout right when he said that he looked upon the person who boasted that he liked brut champagne as either a fogor a fool.” Sweet champagne is acquitted by Dr. Har- ley of the responsibility for gout. Bugar is an indispensable element in the vroduction of champagne from its birth to its maturity. But the idea that sugar causes gout is scouted by Dr. Harley. Far sweeter champagne is drunk on the Conti- is a more common disease in this country than in any otker. Dr. Vaughan Harley, while working at the Sorbonne in Paris took thirteen oances of sugar daily until he completely upset his digestion, and totally failed to induce the disease. though he is hereditarily gouty. Pro bly, says Dr. Harley, the first person who n{fl that sugar caused gout was a crusty old gentleman, fond of strongly spirituous wines, anxious to find an excuse for drink- ing them instead .of the less alcoholic, sweeter young ones. The most alcoholic and acid ones are the chief generators of gout.—London News. ————————— He Took off His Hat. He was only a poor little messenger-boy.

TROUBLED WITH DIZZY SPELLS Fell Off the Oak!snd Ferry-Boat Some Weeks Ago In a Fit of Dizziness. Henry E. Truobenbach expired at his home at 2416 Webster street, this City, yesterday afternoon at about 1 o’clock after an illness of only a few hours’ dura- tion. Monday night he was in customary health, and talked with friends about plans he entertained for yesterday. Early yesterday morning he awoke his wife and complained of a queer sensation in hishead. Boon after this he lapsed into unconsciousness, and remained in that condition until he died in the presence of his family; consisting of his wife and two children. The cause of death was paralysis of the brain. He had not been thoroughly ‘well for some time, and he had some dizzy spells. In one of these spells some weeks ago he fell off a ferry-boat crossing be- tween Oakland and San Francisco. His {riends had no idea that he would fail to live many years, and his sudden demise caused general surprise. Mr. Trubenbach was largely connected with the barley trade, being a heavy ship- er. Since 1866, when he arrived at San Francisco from Australia, he had been en- gaged in the grain business all the time, with the exception of about two years. He carried on grain dealings here four years upon his own account. He then becamea member of tbe firm of M. Waterman & Co. and remained twelve ye#irs in that house as a partner. Then he established the house of Trubenbach & Co. in 1884 or 1885, and he continued at one stand, 113 Clay street, to the end. He was a native of Hanover. He went in early life to Australia. He was aged about 50 years. He was a director of the Produce Ex- change and a member of the Merchants’ Exchange and the Hay Association. Per- sonally he was aifable and had many friends. ay Apropos of Embassador Bayard’s habit of monovolizing conversation' while at dinners, receptions or_in official inter- course a writer in the New York Tribune relates that at a certain dinner-party in Washington Mr. Bayard entertained the company with his views on a variety of subjects, including Japan. One of the guests was a member of the Japanese lega- tion. After listening to Mr. Bayard's worddy discourse on Japan as long as he could the artless young Japanese, turning to his fair neighbor at the table, re- marked: *“What a wonderful man is your BSecretary of State! He seems to know something about everything — except Japan!” e The total income of the guilds of the city of London is said to amount to as much as £750,000 per annum. NEW TO-DAY.
