The San Francisco Association of Improve- ment Clubs met last night and discussed the Geary-street franchise and the Pesthouse re- moval, and received important communica- tions from district clubs. As the result of several Goyernment agents’ visit to this City in July last thirteen mail-car- riers have been asked to explain certain viol tions of postal regulations. The offenses leged are of & triviai character. The Polytechnic High School, which is on the accredited list of the University of Califor- nis, begins the new term with an enroliment of 500 studenis. The popularity of the man- ual training depariment is growing rapidly. Georges Oarioi, alocal stampdesler of world- wide prominence, was accused yesterday by George M. Schiller, formerly his secretary, of eubstituting counterfeit stamps for valuable genuine specimens, with purpose to defraud. «The Velodrome,’ has been incorporated and it is the intention of its projectors soon to | t up a vast iron building on the biock Poindsa by Baker, Fell, Lyon and Hayes streets, to be devoted to various classes of ath- letic and indoor sports. Harry C. Ludwig, & young man employed in a cyclery, was yes’rzerdny held by Judge Conlan to answer before the Superior Court in $1000 bonds on the charge of betrayal under pri of marriage. The complaining witness is Daisy Young, living at 2539 Mission street. The executive committee of the Peovle’s party of California have issued an address to the party declaring for Tom Watson and re- fating Sewall. A committee was appointed confer with the Democrats with a view to union or fusion on the basis of Bryan and Watson. The Republican League held an enthusiastic meeting last night, and a discussion was had &s to the best method of making a campaign. It was decided to educate the workingman in the theory of honest dollars for his wages and steady employment, which can be secured only through protection. An answer was filed yesterday by Virginia Fair and Mrs. Oelrich io the contest of the pencil will, in which the two daughters of Senator Fair say they have no knowledge that the document 18 a forgery, snd therefore will not join in the contest. Judge Slack indi- (-uel{ that he would define Van R. Pater- son’s standing in the case on Monday as to his right to contest in behalf of the minor heir, sndaiter that the real contest might come be- fore & jury on twenty-four hours’ notice. ay under the auspices of the | omise | cessions are noted of workingmen who formerly shouted for silver and for Sen- | ator Stewart’s mining pool, but who have | realized that without employment -they cannot get an honest dollar or any other kind of a dollar, and that protection is the only means by which the wheels of indus- | try in every State in the Union may be set revolving. The registration of voters has been closely watched by a corps of competent clerks 1n the ranks of the Republican | County Committee and by another corps | at the Registrar’s office in the City Hall. A complete copy of the great register was kept from day to day and filed with the clerks in the County Committee rooms, | and all suspectable names, and localities were rigorously investigated. By these means registration stuffers | were thwarted. Several instances were noted in which men attempted to register | from several precincts besides the one in which they resided. Their names were stricken off, and they excused themselves | by saying that they were drunk and didn’t know what they were doing. | The National Republican League held a | rousing meeting last night in the marble | room of the Palace Hotel. Meyer Jacobs presided. | " H. C. Dibble read the following list of | vice-presidents, who were unanimously elected for the districts represented by | them: {'__Twenty - eighth Assembly District— | Vaughn Morgan. Thirty-second—W. C.

Cole, James McNab, P. | N. Libenthal, James O. B. Gunn and | Colonel M. H. Hecht. | Colonel Will E. Fisker reported for the | committee on rooms and was allowed a | week’s further time. | A letter was read from Eugene Bert accepting the secretaryship; aisoa com- | munication from the Woman’s Republi- | can State Central Club inviting the league to attend an entertainment in Odd Fel- | lows’ Hall on Wednesday evening, August | 12. The invitation was accepted. | Jobn T. Dare made a stirring address, | from whigh the following are extracts: | Presidents come and Presidents go. Parties are organized and flourish fora time and then disappear, but the Union League Club of this Nation goes on forever. You heve & very important mission to per- form. You can visit the man who earns his bread by the sweat of his brow and show him the erroneous illusions which the Democracy | has placed before his eyes. |~ Colonel Duboce followed with a few brief remarks of a patriotic nature, and | Major Kyle made a very clever speech, | He advised each member of the league to | spend one day in the week in missionary | work. They should follow the example | of the Salvation Army and go to the peo- | ple. A literary committee should be ap- pointed to show the workingman why he | should be paid a dollar that is worth 100 cents in every country in the world. Colonel Eddy made a stirring speech in | which he said that free trade, free silver and free soup would be their lot if they | did not bestir themselves. | H.C, Dibble called attention to the ne- | cessity of seeing that all Lepublicans were registered within the next five days. The league adjourned until nextWednes- day evening. e McKINLEY AND HOBART. The Thirty-Fourth Assembly Dis~ trict Club Indorses Congress- man Loud and Others. An enthusiastic meeting of the McKin- ley and Hobart Club ot the Thirty-fourth Assembly District was held last evening in Harmony Hall, on Mission and Erie streets. The hall was well filled, many no doubt being attracted by a huge bonfire that blazed in the street. The club was temporarily organized on July 22, and the first business last night was to make per- manent the following officers: President, John Lycett; first vice-presi- dent, Martin Casey ; second vsce-president, Benjamin Carter; secretary, Frank J. Skelly; corresponding secretary, C. F. Mullins; treasurer, Louis Cella; sergeant- at-arms, P. McDonald. Executive com- | mittee—P. J. Bannon, Daniel E. Galla- | gher, John F. Spillane; enrollment com- | mittee—John W. Madden, Alfred D. Mur- phy, John Kehoe. The secretarv announced that on the | first meeting 125 parsons signed the club’s | roll and this last evening was increased to et} B Charles Mayers in a short speech said that the gathering was for the purpose of getiing better acquainted and to devise ways and means to secure and preserve a good Government. ‘To this end,” said he, “let us do all in our power to elect William McKinley and Garret Hobart and to return to Congress the Hon. Engéne F. Loud.” He added that next week there will be a mass-meeting in the district, which will be in the nature of a reception 10 Congressman Loud. He then offered tne following resolution, which was adopted with cheers: WHEREAS, The Hon. Eugene F. Loud, having been unanimously nominated by the Fifth Congressional Convention, we, the voters of the Thirty-fourth Assembly District, duly con- vened this Wednesday evening, August 5, 1896, at Hnrmony Hall, corner of Mission and Erie streets, do hereby tender the thanks of the Republicans of the district to our dele- gates and to all the delegates of said conven- tion for their wise and judicious ac- tion in renominating our present able, energetic and faitiful servant in Con: gress; and whereas, the Hon. Eugeme F. Loud has, through his recognized ability, been appointed chairman of one of the most impor- tant committees in the House of Representa- tives the Committes on Postoffices and Post Roads; and has by his untiring and eficient work succeeded in getting our harbor and stal systems improved and an appropriation or restraining. dams for our hydraulic mines; and whereas, the Hon. Eugene F. u has endeared himself to the people of California through his successful efforts in carrying out the instructions of his constituents to prevent .the Central Pacific Railrond Company from paying its indebted- ness to the Gpovernment by refunding the same; therefore be it ‘Resolved, That we will use all honorable means to re-elect him in November next, that he may be able to carry out the wishes of his constiiuents and continue his good work in the best interest of the %ao}ole of this State and the workingmen of the United States. Fred McGregor made a brief address, at the conclusion of which he was heartily indorsed by the club in his candidacy for the office of Justice of the Peace. Thomas Graham, who aspires to be a Police Judge, was also indorsed. The club Inudly applauded Edward M. Gallagher when he took the platform. Mr. Gallagher aspires to represeni tue Thirty-fourth Assembly District, and he was heartily indorsed at the meeting, for which he returned his sincere thanks. T. B. Morton, president of the Afro- American Club, and W. E, Henderson of the same organization made speeches upon the political topics of the day. A resolution was offered by Mr. Mayers, which was unanimously passed, indorsing and approving the efforts of John D. Spreckels in his endeavors to uphold and promote the interests of the Republican party in the cause of good Government. LS g YOUNG MEN MEET. Golden Gate Valley Republicans Mingle Politics and Pleasure Together. The Young Men’s Republican Club of what is known by the residents as Golden Gate Valley, otherwise the Forty-first As- sembly District, gave an entertainment at Tilden Hall, on Union street, between Gough and Octavia, last night, at which CAME IV WITH ALL SAIL SET, The Fremont Made Her Way to California City Unaided. SEEN FROM SAUSALITO. She Made a Pretty Picture Working Her Way Through the Shipping. AN OVERDUE STORY EXPLODED. Captain Bowes of the Whaleback Everett Says He Never Had a Vessel in Tow. The first of the fleet from Sand Point got in yesterday. She is the barkentine Fremont and has 167,000 codfish aboard. There was a fair wind and a strong wind, ing of pensions of $50 to $75 a month to the widows of officers. He stated that soldiers who had fought in the cause of the Union were entitled to as much as’ the officers. On the conclusion of Congressman Loud’s address a motion was made by Adjutant-General James Kip that Mr. Loud be the choice of the camp from the Fifth District as Congressman in the pres- ent campaign. Mr. Loud was elected unanimously by a rising vote. The following resolution was adopted by the camp: WHEREAS, The Republican Municipal Con- vention will soon assemble in this City for the purpose of nominating a municipal ticket to ¢ voted upon at the coming election; there- ore, Resolved, That Leland Stanford Camp No. 2 of the Army and Navy Republican League of California, an organization representative of the “soldier vote” of this City, do cordially in- dorse Captain Leou E. Jones for the position of Sheriff of the City and County of San Fran- cisco, believing that his qualifications emi- nently it him for that position, and we re- spectfully but_urgently request that said con- vention place him upon the ticket for the posi- tion named. Deland Stanford followed with an appro- priate address. Miss Dora Johnson then recited the “Maid of Gettysburg,” which was received with great applause. She afterward, hy special request, danced the ‘‘Cracovienne,” a pretty Polish dance. She was accom- x{anied on the mandolin by Professor ansfield. It was stated that next Wednesday night there will be a joint meeting at Kohler & Chase Hall of Leland Stanford Camp No. 2, the Alger Camp No. 4 and the McKin- ley Camp No. 1, and two weeks from last night will be held the regular meeting of Camp No. 2. T — Trouble With Their Employes. The Risdon Iron Works recently discharged two of their storekeepers, Fred E. Stanley and Charles W. Ains- worth, who, since their discharge, have been borrowing money from persons not knowing of their discharge. S The Barkentine Fremont Arrived From Sand Point Yesterday With 167,000 Codfish Aboard. Came In Under Full Sail and Made California City Without Taking in a Stitch of Canvas. She pleasure and socialbility were intermixed with politics. This innovation was explained by Joseph ‘W. Woods, the president of the club, who said in his opening address that the object of inviting the young people of Golden Gate Valley to an assemblage of this kind had a twofold object. First, it would be the means of drawing together young men who up to this time had not joined the club, and, second, it would give the voung ladies an opportunity to hear some of the doctrines of the good old Republican party. These remarks were received with a round of applause, the ladies being the more enthusiastic. Hon Frank H. Powers, on being intro- | duced, spoke at considerable length upon what would follow should the Democracy’| continue in power for another four yvears. At the conclusion of Mr. Powers’ re- marks the club resolved itseif into a social affair. The following programme was carried out, finishing up with dancing: Vocal selection, ‘Mother Was a Lady,” Robert L. Clark Jr.; selection, orchestra; vocal selection, Mrs. O. A. Forster; piano solo, “Fiesta March,” Professor J. E.Patton; song. Joseph Sutton; song, Miss Adele A. Brown; selection. orchestra; o “Better Than Gold,” John Brodigan; bass solo, “Cradle of the Deep,” William Moo azsinags DI YOUNG R:PUBLICANS. They Are Invited to Meet To-Night in Judge Kerrigan’s Courtroom. The members of the Young Men’s Re- publican League are invited to meet to- night in Judge Kerrigan's courtroom at 8 o’clock. The call conveys the impression that business of importance will be transacted and both members and intending mem- bers are asked to be present at any sacri- fice. The league isin a flourishing condie tion and can do good work for the cam- paign. The young men are enthusiastic supporters of McKinley and protection, which will be the ?lying cries of their Presidential fight. They are the coming legislators ot the State and their patriot- ism is tikely to carry all before it. A large attendance 1s expected. The Continental League. An enthusiastic meeting of the Conti- nental League was held last evening at the Larkin - street h]eldqulmn. The drill corps was formally organized un uix? H. L. Bneh’alde‘r. The regl.;u?:t]:i formation will be very effective. One company is composed exclusively of militiamen. The club declares it will present a surprise when the campaign opens and expects to do big work l{inl-y, Hob:l:t and pruucgian. f8F Mo- The Imperials. The Imperial Club of the Thirty-seventn District held its regular meeting last night at Pfaeffle’s Hall, 1831 Market street. Many good speakers were present and an enthusiastic meeting was held. The presi- dent, Eugene Pfaeffle, of this young and enterprising club, surprised the boys with a frand lunch. At the next meeting there will be some good singing. The club in- dorsed Leon Jones for Sheriff last night. A NEW SOPEANO. Mme. Ella Prankard Scores a Success at the Emporium Concert. A magnificent rendition of the cavatina from “Robert le Diable” by Mme. Ella Prankard. from the Grand Opera in Vienna, was the pleasant surprise pre- pared for the great audience which lis- tened to the Emporium concert last night. Mme. Prankard has a mezzo-soprano of great sweetness, compass and flexibility, and notwithstanding the somewhat im- perfect acoustic properties of the great dome under which she sang,she fairl carried away her hearers with the bril- liancy of her performance. Asan encore she sang Arditi’s beautiful *‘Il Bacio” in 2 most acceotable manner. The Emporium con: under the able management of Mr. John Marquardt, have become one of the amusement features of San Francisco which no music-lover misses. The doors of the big store open every Wednesday and Saturday evenings to give these delightful concerts free of alf charge. ¥ree concerts of like merit can only be heard in the great capitals of Europe. so instead of taking a tug Captain Bowes sailed his vessel in and worked her to California City under full canvas. As she passed Bausalito hundreds of people turned out to see her, and the crews of the British ships lying in Richardsons Bay admired her as she glided along. The vessel 18 consigned to the Lynde & Hough Company and the fish will be cured at California City. The catch of codfish has been a very good one this year, but the demand for the California prepared article is so great that there will no diminu- tion in the price. The Fremont made the run from Sand Point in the good time of sixteen days, and Captain Bowes could not see why he should take a tug when he had afair wind. For the first time almost in the history of the port the Fremont sailed right to her anchorage and never shortened sail until within half a mile of California City. The world’s record has been broken. The schooner Prosper, owned by J. Fogel of this port, has made the run from Shanghai to Puget Sound in thirty-one days. This beats steamer time, and Ci tain Johansin must have had a gale of wind behind his vessel during the entire trip in order to make such extraordinary time. ‘All I know about the run,” said Mr. Fogel yesterday, “is that the schooner left Shanghai in ballast for Tacoma. We did not expect her to reach port for an- other three weeks and were surprised to hear of her arrival. She will load lumber for Japan, and if she makes another quick run why we will think we have a world- beater.” The Prosper is a handsome- looking schooner, but never during her life_has she made a run equal to this one to Tacoma from Shanghai. There was a teiegraphic story from Port~ land, Or., to the effect that the whaleback City of Everett had picked up a four- masted ship and was towing her south. The sailing vessel had lost her foremast and was listed, according to the dispatch. The City of Everett arrived this morning, and the captain says he ran a straight course from Flattery, and never spoke a disabled vessel during the trip. The barkentine City of Papeete, which made an exceptionally long trip from Ta- hiti to this port, has cleared for Papeete. She is almost a week behind time and, as she carries the French mail, that will mean a difterence to the French colony of over a fortnight. Captain Berude does not expect to make & fast passage, but nevertheless he may be disappointed. Before the end of the month the Oceanic Steamship Company’s steamers and the Spreckels. tn{s will forsake Folsom-street wharf and wake up their quarters at the new Pacific-street structure. The latter is one of the finest and most complete docks in the world, and is a valuable addition to the commerce of the port. The new Japa- nese line is coming here, and the chances are that Folsom-street wharf will be re- built for its accommodation. REUNION OF VETERANS, Army and Navy Republican League Holds a Rousing Meeting. 0ld Soldiers Listen to Stirring Po. litical Addresses and Cheer the Ticket. The veterans of Camp No. 2, Army and Navy League of California, held a rousing reunion last night at the headquarters at Kohler & Chase’s Hail on O'Farrell street. The rooms were profusely and artisti- cally decorated with the red, white and blue, and portraits of McKinley, Hobvart, Lincoln, Grant, Logan, Sherman, Sheri- dan and Farragut were hung around the hall. More than 250 veterans were present, and the reunion was presided over by Commander M. 8. Blackburn. A stirring address was delivered by Con, man Eugene F. Loud. He spoke on the monetary question, and_explained his reasons for sustaining the President’s veto on the Hoaver pension case and also his reasons for voting against the grant- WOMEN _REPUBLCA Important Resolutions Adopted by the State Central Club. E. F. Loud Indorsed as Nominee for the Fifth Congressional District. The Woman’s State Central Republican Club met in Justice Groezinger’s court- room last night. There was a large at- tendance and mach enthusiasm. Mrs. Addie L. Ballou, president, was in the chair. The president read a letter from Ada B. Campbell, Copperopolis, asking for a lady speaker on Republicanism; also one from Oscar A. Tolle, in which he stated that any aid he could render the league was at their disposal. George Stone of the Union League Club, expressed in a letter to the president his good wishes for the success of the league and offering to co-operate with them. ’l‘hetpresident also read the following' letter from M. R. Higgins, sec- retary of the Republican State Central Committee: T am directed by the executive'rommittee of the Republican State Central Committee to acknowledge receipt of your letter of July 17 inclosing the constitution and by-laws of the Woman's State Central Republican Club. The committee appreciates very bighly theikind words spoken in your letter and assurances of loyalty and interest which the women are ing in the present struggle. We are well aware of the great influence that.you can asa body as well as individually exert and will co- operate with you in any way that is possible in the good work which you are doing. Mrs. Ballou said that the time had come when the women of California should state their party preferences and read the following set of resolutions, which were adopted unanimously : WHEREAS, The three National political par- ties, viz., the Democratic, Prohibition and Populist,’ in the conventions of 1896, having failed to place a plank declara- tory to the politis equality of women in their platforms; and, whereas, the Republican arty has, since its National conveution in 872, declared for and demanded equality for all, irrespective ‘of race, sex, color or condi- tion, therefore Resolved, That it is the sentiment of this organization that the loyal, thoughtful women of the United States should be mindful of the resolution of the Republican party and in no uncertain terms declare their appreciation of such recognition; and also Resolved, That we believe we can best serve the Interests of our prosperity, our homes, our. citizenship and our Government by the organ- ized effort and establishment of women’s Re- ublican eclubs, as recommended by our Kational President, in the support of the prin- ciples and the success of the Republican party, and in the affiliation with the various Repub- lican organizations within our several dis- tricts and communities and in co-operation with them to the same great end. Resolved, That a copv of these resolutions be forwarded to our National Association, the Republican State Central Committee, the State League of Clubs and be filed on the minutes of this club. Mrs. Budd said that any one that owed anythicg to the Republican party and all women should not be afraid of letting the world know that they were Republicans. Strong adaresses were delivered by Comrade Macdonnell, past junior vice commander of department of Sacra- mento, Mrs. Baily, Mrs. Jones, Mrs. Gibb, Mrs. M. J. H. Rogers and Mrs. Buckley. The club indorsed the nsme of H. F. Loud as nominee for Congress for the Fifth Congressional District. Twelve new members were admitted to the club. l GAIL BORDEN | {EAGLE Brand| Has No Equal SOLD EVERYWHERE THE FAIR SISTERS WILL NOT CONTEST Have No Knowledge That the Pencil Will Is Forged. AND REMAIN NEUTRAL. A Short Time Ago They Were Certain That It Was the Gen- uine Last Will, WILL COME TO TRIAL SOON. All Matters in the Controversy Held Over Until the Authenticity of This Document Is Decided. The Fair will complication shaped itself vesterday into the appearance of coming to trial at some time on its merits. Judge Slack signified that he would de- cide the matter of the standing of Van R. Paterson in the case, as 1o his right to con- test the will of the 24th on behalf of the children, by’ Monday next if the counsel would get in their briefs in time. That being disposed of, the court said the con- test might come on at once before the jury now impaneled. The most important move made yester- day in the case was the filing of an answer on the part of Virginia Fair and Mrs. Oelrichs to the opposition of Charles Fair, in which they declare a quasi-neutrality. They say in so many words that they have no knowledge or information in re- gard to the truth of the assertion that the will of September 24 1s a forgery, and therefore assert, “on information and be- lief,”” that the will is genuine. This is the first declaration from the daughters, who have been apparently holding aloof, prepared to enter through whichever gate was opened to success. Attorney Delmas casually remarked the other day that they were liable to the charge of having defaulted in having failed to answer their brother’s contest. This seems to have brought them into court. The declaration in their answer. how- ever, is almost in direct conflict with state- ments made in their behalf earlier in the proceedings. When the conflict between Judge Van R. Paterson and Herman Oelrichs Sr. for the guardianship of young Herman Oel- richs came up before Judge Slack on May 8, 1895, Reuben H. Lloyd said: “The will of September24 was submitted to Mrs. Oelrichs, to her sister and to all interested, and they all concurred that it was in Mr. Fair’s writing, and is his will.” The court at that time ordered the state- ment of Mr. Lloyd to be incorporated as part of the evidence in the case. The date for the trial of the contest of the will of the 24th will probably be fixed next Monday. By consent it was arranged that the de- position of Mrs, Craven should b: taken at that lady’s residence next Saturday morning, she being too ill to come iato court or to leave her room. The deposi- tion will be taken before a notary. Notary J. J. Cooney was in court to an- swer his citation for contempt, but the matter was postponed until this morning, when he will also read and sign his depo- sition. The absence of Attorney Delmas was partially responsible for the postpone- ment. R. B. Mitchell, by consent, put in a question to Cooney to be made a part of the deposition. He wanted to know if the notary was acquainted with Mrs. Jobnson, the mother of Mr. Barkes, who was in the employ of O'Farrell & Lang. The witness said he did not know her. W. S. Goodtellow, named as one of the executors in the trust will of the 21st, asked the privilege of making a statement ——————————————————————— That Ieasing Paralyzing Pie! How good it looks! How good it is!.. And how it hurts. Why not look into the question of Pill after Pie? Eat your pie and take Ayer’s Pills after, and pie will please and not paralyze, AYER'S AAAADARALLEN in regard to the allegation of Attorney Charles S. Wheeler that he had consented to the offer of $300,000 to Mrs, Craven for the renunciation by her of her claims against the estate. ‘At his request he wassworn, and reiter- ated, in greater detail, the statement made in his behalf by his attorney, Garret Me- Enerney, in the general tilt of Monday last, He said that any man who would connive at the suppression of a will was unworthy to act as executor. Some representations had been made to him concerning aeeds held by Mrs. Craven for real property which was held to be part of the estate. He had offered to join in an application to the court for the payment of such sum in consideration of her handing over these deeds and forfeiting all claims under them. He was willing to answer any questions wl)éch the lawyers might wish to put, he said. None of them signified any desire to ask questions and Mr. Goodfellow retired. NEW TO-DAY—AMUSEMENTS.
