According to the reports received of the preliminary work of the Mechanics’ Insti- tute and Mannfacturers’ and Producers’ coming fi it will be the greatest indus- trial exposition ever heid on this coast. All of the space on the lower floor has been taken by exhibitors, and only by close crowding and careful caleulation can any more space in the galleries be disposed of. Those who will exhibit are taking an active interest in the undertak- ingand a great rivalry exists as to who will put in the most attractive displays. As it will be a home-product fair in the strict sense of the term, the management has refused dozens of good bids for space from agents and dealers who wished to put Eastern goods before the public. A local soap company is constructing a large Grecian temple of its product that will be twenty-three feet square. It will be lighted by hundreds of small electric lights. A firm of glass dealers will con- struct a temple of mirrors. . The exhibit to be made by the Union Iron Works will occupy 1500 square feet of space. It will be a miniature model of the entire establishment at the Potrero, including a part of the bay, drydocks, etc. In the water will float models of all the warships and on the ways will be the Iatest production, the battie-ship Oregon. ‘What is known as the annex 0? the Pa- vilion will be converted into an electric hall, and the entrance will be through a huge grotto of rock salt. Opposite the en- trance for a stretch of flifty feet will be a display of every kind of electric lamp known, ali ablaze. Beside these | there will be exhibits of nearly every in- dustry in the State; the mining, agrical- toral, wool, wooden, leather, iron and dairy interests will all be represented.

No matter what they do, however, the Repub- lican party, with McKinley in the lead, will win with ease next November.”” ¢ For over thirty years Major Pangborn bas conducted the Evening Journal of Jersey City. He is regarded as an able writer and close observer of currentevents. His opinion, therefore, is deserving of more than ordinary consideration. HE WOULD BE A SAILOR The Son of A. M. Palmer of New York an A. B. on the Ship A, G. 3 Ropes. 2 The theatrical profession on the Ameri- can ship A. G. Ropes among the crew is represented by A. M. Palmer Jr. of New York. He is the 20-year-old son of the well-known theatrical manager. -Dur- ing the ran from New York he did all the work of an ordinary sailor. He is cer- tainly noshirker and can holystone decks, reef a sail, splice a brace, grease a yard, paint the giugerbread-work dnd put a shark’s fin on the flying jibboom with the best man in the ship. He is rated as ‘‘purser,” but the only money he disburses is what Captain Rivers advsnces him. He is bronzed, but not weather-beaten, | and runs around the decks like a school- boy. His hands show all the signs of hard work, and when he returns to New York it will be six months before he will be able to wear a decent-sized glove ngnln. “Iam in a measure an old _sailor,” said he yesterday. “I used to be a kind of secretary to my father and made fourteen voyages to Europe with him.

A “little concert” was given Wedngsday fternoon by the children of the St. Fran- is Girls’ Directory Orphan Asylum, in presence of an assemblage of admirers of the institution. Among those present were several Catholic ladies of prominence who are distinguished by their charity and their interest in Catholic charitable insti- tutions like the admirable orpban asylum of 8t. Francis, on Buena Vista ana Central avenues. The concert was given by the orphans for the benefit of the: asylum, which has been in need of financial assistance to meet its necessarily heavy current ex- penses. Nearly 200 children are at present m the institution, and they &re supported, cared fof and educated by the sisters withs out the help of lay people. The average number of children in St. Francis’ Asylum is nearly 200, Aftersome time in the institution they ave provided with comfortable and proper homes. But of late Sister Mines, the superioress of .St. | Francis, has felt the imperative demana for ready money to continue the good work in which-she is engaged, o the chil- dren took it upon themselves to assist her. The opening number was a song of wel- come by a chorus of little girls, and it was followed by a recitation, “St. Francis’ Home.” The remainderof the programme consisted of songs and racit-trone by the children, interspersed with vioiin and W-nlg solos by Miss Marie SBuort and Miss . Nevin. —————— CLAIMS AGAINST . THE CITY. A Request That Oid Debts Be Paid Out of the Surplus. 3 The members of the Merchants’ Asso- ciation are taking up the cause of those un- fortunate creditors of the City who, sev- éral months ago, furnished large quanti- ties of supplies to the various municipal departments and who have not yet been paid for their' goods. The merchants have started the movement by the following letter to the Board of Supervi- sors: Gentlemen: At the last regular meeting of the board of directors of the Merchants' Asso- ciation it was unanimously resolved to peti- tion your honorable board to use the surpius now-remaining in the u“f‘ treasury from the past nml&s-r. if it can légaliy be dome, to liquidate outsianding claims of those cred- itors who have lngood faith furnished and de- livered goods and supplies to the munici- Iity. - P his 1s not only & question of fair desling with the creditors of the City, but involves the financial bhonor of Ban Francisco.

HE SEES DEATH COMING. Staggers From a Gutter’'s Agony to Oblivion Under a Streetcar. RESCUED BY HUMAN FRIENDS. He Was Carefuily Dragged Back to the Guiter Unconscious, Where He Died. A dog lay suffering on Montgomery street Wednesday afternoon. Finally,with a last, great rally of his lapsing energy, he rose up and madea deliberate and deter- mined effort to commit suicide. This dog was nohody’s darling. He had not been reared on cream and caramels. His appearance plainly showed that nis place was not on Nob Hill. However, he appéared to be a respect- able member of canine soclety. His hair had been smooth and glossy before it be- came ruffied in the filth of the street. He had on a common leather collar, but it was new, Butif there was anything in which this dog was not mongrel it was in the fortitude with which he faced death and the heroism with which he calmly saw it crushing down upon him. He lay in front of 519 Montgomery street, near Clay. Part of the time his head was pillowed on the curbstone, and his shivering, gniverlnq body in the wet gutter. At 4 o'clock it was apparent that be was dying in slow nmf increasing agony. % his miserable animal of that race which has proven the most true Iriend of man- kind, raised his eyes plaintively to the .| stream of humanity that flowed by near and whined. When he became too weak to whine, still his eyes opened and looked into’ the multitude for one friend who might bring him relief. Tne people passed by with heedless glances. The dogs that came that way paused and sniffed, and a few licked him to show their sympathy and affection, as dogs do. But they did not tarry long. They either had troubles enough of their own or gave bim up as a hopeless case and_trotted on. y 5 0’'clock quite a crowd of curious or idle or sympatbetic spectators had gathered nnsg:d the prostrate body of the moaning brdfe.. A big policeman came by and cleared the sidewalk, but he did not offer to end the animal’s misery. Poor Towser feebly raised his head. He saw the way clear. He also saw a Mont- gomery-street bobtail horsecar coming from the south. He opened his eyes wider, as though by an increased mental effort. He staggered to his feet, He reeled out into the street. Poor Towser had made a desperate reso- lution to put himself out of his misery. He could not kill himself with a revolyer because he had none. He was not able to go tothe drugstore and buy morphiae, or rough on rats, or laudanum, or chloral, or carbolic acid. He couldn’t cut his throat. It was as Elaiulv impossible for him to stop up the eyhole and turnon the gas. The bay and the docks or the Oakland ferries were as far from him as the Brooklyn bridge, so what else was there for him 10 seek that would bring death but the rail and the cruel wheels. Struggling to keep on his feet till the roper time, he suddenly collapsed when e was almost under the horse’s feet. Quickly the streetcar stopped. The driver had seen the aog; but there was only two inches of space between the do; and the death he sougnt. Men jumpe from the streetcar and men ran from the sidewalks and dragged poor Towser from under the car. He was unconscious, and perhaps for all poor Towsér knew he was killed by the car. Last evening at 7 o’glock he lay in the gutter dead. GAINED MANY HONORS, An Honorary Degree at Leipsic Has a Very Flattering Sequel. Dr. Stratton’s Thesis Sought by ‘a Great Psychological Journal of Europe. The academical honors conferred in Eu- rope upon George M. Stratton are of an exceptional sort. Some mention has been made of the fact that the Leipsic Uni-| versity, from which he has recently been graduated, conferred upon him the honor of summa cum laude, which in itself, con- sidering all the circumstances, was a mark of great distinction. The news has just been received that Frofessor Wundt has requested from Dr. Stratton his thesis for publication in the Philosophishe Stu- dien, which is the most important psycho- logical journal in Europe. Only authors who are masters of their work are admit- ted to the columns of this publication, and the honor of mention is eagerly coveted by European students on account of the high critical standard which is maintained %y its management. “The fact that Dr, Stratton’s paper has been requested,’”’ Pro- fessor Howison said yesterday, ‘‘is proof that Dr. Stratton 1= considered an impor- tant person in science,,’ - Professor Howison is naturally much pleased at the success abroad of Dr. Strat- ton, who was graduated in 1888 from the departmentin the University of Califor- nia of which Professor Howison is the head. Among the members of the fac- ulty of the Btate University who are in Berkeley the feeling of elation is general, because Dr. Stratton in his success also reflected great creait abroad upon the California_institution through which he assed. He was an industrious and bril- iant student at &Berkslay, with sufficient mental grasp an® acuteness fo lead to an- ticipations of a brilliant career for him, which anticipations_he seems likely to completely fulfill. He went to Europe expressly to study experimental p:z,chol,- ogy, which is engmlni the attention of the foremost philosophical minds of the centers of learning in Europe and in the United States. e shades of meaning in philosophical discussion are so finel; drawn often that great discrimination is necessary to make such selection as shall convey the precise idea in the mind of the author. 3 As Dr. Stratton was compelled, in order to conform to the customs of the German universities, to employ the German lan- uage in the construction of his thesis, his fnx is considered doubly creditable. Op- posed to him and in Gompetition with him {or scholagtic bonors were students from all European countries, and cul the German students, who have been trained to philosophical thought and to the most refined and ac;nnteh ns: ofmthie an language throughou eir academic we-r.‘ Their advantage over him was, therefore, very marked, but he was fully able to uptiold the credit of the University of California, as the sequel has amply proved. The subject of Dr. Stratton’s thesis is not known exactly, but it related to a study of fandamental ratios. Congratula- tions have been forwarded to Dr. Stratton from this City, and also from members of the faculty of the University of California. Dr. Stratton is a brother of Dr. R. T. Stratton of Oakland and also of Attorney F. 8. Stratton. He is making a tour through Eu d will soon start this C?ty. rope, an n start for ALL FOR CHARITY. Benevolent Ynstitutions Whose Mana- gers Seem to Have an Eye to the Main Chance. In July, 1889, Hiram A. Pearsons died, leaving a holographic will, in which, among other bequests, is a lezacy “to the different orphan asylums of the City and | County of San Francisco, said asylums to be designated by the Judge of the Probate Court.” Unger the provisions of the will the court made an order for the distribu- tion of $100,000 among the Roman Catholic Orphan Asylum, the Protestant Orphan Aeyl'\un, the Maria Kip Orphanage, the St. Vincent Orpban Asylum and the Pa- ci!ic Hebrew Orphan Asylum. These five institutions only, out of thir- teen which applied for a share in the legacy, were designated by the court; and of the remaining eight the San Francisco Ladies’ Protection and Reliet Society, the Armitage Orphanage, the Boys’ and Girls' Aid Society and tEe Girle’ Directory ap- pealed. The first-named institution WILL SEEK FOR HISTRIONIC FAME, Granddaughter of a Spanish General Will Go on the Stage. MISS CASTRO’S VENTURE. She Will No Longer Be Known by Her Foster Name Allen. ONE WEEK WEDDED TOTHE ART She Is a Noted Society Belle of the Three Cities Across the Bay. The prominent society belle of Oakland, Berkeley and Alameda, Miss Verne Allen, Miss Verne Castro, Granddaughter of the Spanish Geueral and Recent Devotee of Thespis. claimed that the court erred in hold(nfi that it was not an orphan asylum ani also in holding that St. Vincent’s Asylum was a San Francisco institution. This contention the Supreme Court seems to regard with favor, applying it also to the Armitaze Asylum, and denies any .rlg!n on the part of the Boys™and Girls’ Aid Hociety to be ealled an orphan asylum. The Girls’ Directory is not to be regarded as an orphan asylum in the exact sense of the word. The cause was remanded, the Probate Court being ordered to modify the decre_e in accordance with the Supreme Court’s decision. ————————— TRADE WITH JAPAN. Local Merchants Taking Active Steps to Revive Commerce. The members of the Chamber of Com- merce and Board of Trade of San .Fl'lll- cisco, the Manufacturers’ Auochn?n of California and the Merchants’ Association are very desirous of getting back some of the trade with Japan that has been grad- ually slipping out of their fingers. In order to_accomplish this a meeting has been called at which plans will be made for sending an active man to Japan with a view of seiting the tide of comfmerce in this direction again. In the call for this meeting the committee sets forth the fol- lowing facts: SAX Fraxcisco, July 15, 1896. To the ‘hamber of Commerce and Board of Trade of San Francisco, the Manufac- turers’ Assbeiation of California and the Mer- chants’ Association—GENTLEMEN: At a Confer- ence of the Trustees of the two organizations firstnamed, held this day, ic was decided, if effective co-operation is assured, to send & commercial cammissioner to Japan ior one ¥ear or longer if deemed anvaniageous. We suggest that as many subscripers as are interested subscrive to muke up the necessary amount, estimated at #4000, each contributing a like amount, say 100 subscribers each, or if more subscribers a less amount each. A commitiee selecied by them shall make the appointment, fix compensation and arrange details. The primary results shall accrue subscribers only, they furnishing samples, price le and necessary information to accom- n em. 'The establishment of & sample-room Japanese trade center will be conside Reporis from the commissioner sent to the committee to be accessible 10 all subscribers, but he m-{ address any subscriber as t0 his particular line of business. eranddaughter of General Castro, will no longer be Verne Allen, but Verne Castro. The reason that Miss Castro has decided to take the honorable name of her ances- tors is because she has decided to go on the stage. This determination will prove a great surprise to the numerous friends of Miss Castro, and yet from herown affirmation she has been advised by her friende to take this step ever since she has been able to recite four consecutive lines, Her grandiather was one of the old Spanish generals and was a Castilian of Castile, a representative of a nobility par excellence. Moreover, her granduncle was Alvarado, onc of the first governors of Spanish California. Miss Castro has just graduated from Mills College. She has much musical talent and a voice that is rich in tone and feeling. She has been under Mr. Belasco only a few weeks, yet recently rendered before her friends Cora of ‘‘Article 47" With such a power and knowledge of emo- tional expression that, it is said, had it been in public it would have made her | month: @ reception given to David Belasco on his arriyal in this City. She is strongly emotional and aspires to shine in society dramas and ciassic pieces. ‘I love the excitement and exhilaration of standing before an audience,’” said she yesterday. ““The turning point of my life, or the moment that really decided me on becoming an actress, was when I delivered the Rhetorical at Mills College. I was not 1n the least afraid, but when I had finished { wanted to go back again upon the stage. 1 want people to know me hereafter by my real name—Verne Castro—not Allen. I intend to add more fame to that nanwe if possible.” Miss Castro’s aunts had the name of being the most beautiful women in this State, and it is very apparent that Miss Castro inherits much of this trait herself. | PRINTERS’ ELECTION, | C.

BICHMOND WADE HiPP, Red Rock in Active Demand With the People West of the Cemeteries. (three to be Real Estate Has Taken a Jump of More Than Twice Its Value in Ten Years. Since the law allowing red-rock pave- ments went into effect the Richmond dis- trict has assumed a thorcugh business- like dash. Now Point Lobos avenue is traversed by dozens of teams hauling red rock from the quarry at the Cliff all over the district for sidewalks and other needed improvements, whereas previous to its passage not ome load was hauled to this section. . As an example of the sudden revival in improvements the Odd Fellows’ Cemetery Association has Eiven a contract for 3000 loads of red rock with which a concrete wall is beibg put round that portion of the cemetery where the sandhill stood prior to its removal to fill up the hollow on the inside of the old racetrack. A contract has been let by the property- | owners on Sixth avenue, from Bto Point Lobos, to Felix McHugh for the construc- tion of a sewer at ninety cents a foot, which involves about $1500. But on this undertaking McHugh ran across a snag; his bid was made upon the expectation that he would find a sandy bottom through which he would run his sewer, but instead he found blue rock and hard clay *which will leave him out of pocket quite a large sum as the sewer must go according to specifications. By the way of a comparison on the in- creased value of real estate in Richmond district during the past ten years, T. G. Parker, a real estate agent in this Iley, sold a corner lot on Fourth avenue and Clement street in 1886 for $1300. The same lot was sold by the same agent afew weeks ago to C. B. Ryer for $3750. Upon this lot a $6000 building will be im- mediately erected. Nor is thisan excep- tion; Lots that J. J. O'Brien sold for $100 a lot some few years ago are now being sold for $1000 for inside and $1500 for cor- ner lots. The sandeaters of Warren & Malley are getting away with the mounds in that vicinity. The two paddies at work remove 45,000 cubic yards of sand every day. 'his is being bauled away upon railroad flatcars propelled by horsepower and dumped into the hollow which stood in the center of the Bay View racetrack since the days of Noah and his femily. ‘When this tract of land is filled in and the avenues and streets laid out, it will be one of the choicest building sites in the district. e The Divorce Courts.
