16 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL. SATURDAY, AUGUST 22, 1896. ‘ORAKER ALD. TELLER COMING, Efforts Being Made to Have Them Speak in This State. STARS OF THE FORUM. One Will Speak for Tariff Pro- tection and the Other for Silver. PLANS OF THEIR PARTISANS. McLaughlin in Correspondence With Foraker—Teller May Speak in Five Cities. Foreker and Teller, two of the greatest orators of the United States, will in all probability be heard by the people of Cali- fornia during the coming campaign. Chairman McLaughlin of the Republi- can State Central Committee is now in correspondence with the Republican Na- | | greatest gatbering of silver people tbat this State bas ever seen. A telegram is ex- pectea from him any day informinyz us whether he will be able to come t» the coast, and fixing the date of his depar- ture. “It is our purpose to have him speak in five of tbe cities of the State. These cities will be 8an Francisco, Los Angeles, Oak- land, San Jose and Sacramento.” It is known that the idea of having Sena- tor Teller come to California was inspired by the plan of having the great economic issues of the campaign discussed at the Sacramento State Fair. When the mat- ter was mentioned to Mr. Baker he imme- diately offered to furnish the speaker on the siiver question, and said that he would pledge bimself to bring the Colorado orator to California and to have him dis- cuss the bpenefits of the free coinage of silver at the ratio of 16 to 1 at the great State Fair sym posi: HEARTLESS CRUELTY, A Gripman Allows a Mission - Street Car to Run Cver a Valuable Gordon Setter. Michael Kelly of the City Corporation Yard reports the loss of a valuable white Gordon setter under peculiarly aggra- vated circumstances of crueity. On Thurs- day evening shortly after 8 o’clock the animal was run over by car 1020 of the Mission-street line, being so severely in- jured that policeman 68, who happened to be near by, in mercy ended its suffer- ings by shooting it through the bhead. The howls of the suffering brute and the report of the pistol attracted quite a crowd and execrations of the gripman's heartlessness were many and unsparing. “Confound you!” exclaimed }) L. Fer- ren of 1011 Mission street, shaking his fist at the gripman, “If that dog were mine I would shoot you dead.” *Ta, 1a!” was the gripman’s airy re- sponse as the car sped off, leaving naught but a pool «f bleod and. the echo of a mocking laugh in its wake. Instances of a similar sort have been re- tional Committee with the object of hav- | portea with some frequency at the office ing the eloguent Senator from Ohio come | of the Society for the Prevention of Crn- out here, and George W. Baker, the chair- | elty to Animals, four having been sent in SENATOR HENRY M. TELLER of Colorado, Who Is Expected to Arrive on This Coast Shortly to Lecture. man of the Silver party of California, is endeavoring to make arrangements to have the great siiver advocate of Colorado open the silver campaign in this State. “I have written to the National Com- mittee,’’ said Chairman McLaughlin, when asked about the matter yesterday. “asking that Senator Foraker be sent to California to aid the party in the coming campaign. But the Senator was preparing to go to Europe when the matter was submitted to him and was unable to give a positive an- swer, as he did not know when he would | be back from his contemplated trip. He stated, however, that he would very much like to come to this State to speak for the party, and added that if it was at all pos- sible for him to find the time when he re- turned he would certainly make the trip. “That is the wav the matter now stands, but we shall allow no chance to go by which will aid us to carry out this idea of bringing so able and so well-known a man to the assistance of the party in California. As soon as he returns irom FEurope the subject will again be called to his atten- tion and to that of the National Commit- tee.” Little more than a week ago George W. Baker wrote a letter to Senator Henry M. Teller requesting him %o come 1o Califor- nia to open the campaign for the freecoin- age of silver some time between the 25th and 30th of the current month. Senator Teller was away at the time the letter reached his home and it was opened by his private secretary, who replied to Mr. Baker, informing him of the fact that the Senator wasaway in the interior and add- ing that immediately upon his return the communication of Mr. Baker would be submitted to him and his determination telegraphed to Mr. Baker. In speaking of the matter last night Mr. Baker said: “I; was our wish to have Senator Teller with us this month, but that I find is now impossible, as_he has Eastern engage- ments which will keep him there tor some little time yet. I am confident, however, | that he will come to Califorma, and his first appeacance will be the ocecasion of the NEW TO-DAY. FACE RAW AND BLEEDING My little boy was afflicted with Eczema in acute form for a year, during which we tried without success every known remedy. The dis- order appeared on the right cheek and was of & blietery and bloody form. His pillow, mornings, would bear the bloody imprint of the side of his face, while it was impossible to prevent him from scratching his face owing to the itching. Advised to try CUTICURA, I bought a box. The first l'gplicatlon ‘was made at night, and it isa fact, that the appearance of the affected parts showed a noticeable improvement the next morn- ing, and, continuing the treatment, as & result, my child has as fair and smooth skin as can be found anywhere.

Manufacturers and Producers Hold a Special Meeting. A special meeting of the Manufacturers’ Association was held yesterday afternoon, callel by President Julian Sonntag for the purpose of discussing the action to be taken in the matter of the large sign &]sced across the Pavilion reading, “The echanics’ Fair.” It was decided on motion of Director Bowers to postpone action until after the meeting of tie Mechanics” Institute direc- tors on Tuesday eyening next. A committee of four was appointed by tne president to atiend that meeting and report 1o the president. The committee consists of Directors Bowers, Kerr, Sbar- boro and Currier. The manufacturers desire the fact of the exposition being one of home industries brought out clearly. BURGLAR SCARED AWAY, He Stgle From the Room of Jus- tice Field in the Palace Hotel. A Man Arrested, but Mrs. Field Cou'd Not Identify Him — The St. Nicholas R bbery. A strange man was discovered in Jus- tice Field’s room in the Palace Hotel on Monday last by Mrs. Field. The man made a rush to get a ¥ay, but was stoppea by Mrs. Field and asked what he was do- ing there. The man hesitated and stammered, finally saying that he wasa messenger from the White House, and had been sent with a bundle of goods. He was asked to expiain, as no goods had been ordered, but the man took his departure before he made an explanation. Shortly afterward a vurse containg $6, belonging to the maid, was missed. . Police beadquarters was notified and deiectives were detailed to investigate. Detectives Gibson and Wren arrested a man vesterday afternoon and took him to Justice Field’s room. Mrs. Field on see- ing him said- she would not be positive that he was the man, so the prisoner was discharged. The poiice are still hunting for the thief and expect to haye him in custody soon. The 8t. Nicholas Hotel was a day or iwo ago robbed by a skillful sneakthief, and it is thought the same man may be the one who visited the rooms of the distinguished jurist. Toe thief is described as a small man with a round face and a small light-colorea mustache. The police are very reticent on the mat- ter and positively refuse to give any par- ticulars. ———— €fONE million will read “Mechanics’ Fair Daily.” Advertise now.

THE INGLESIDE OFFICIALS Captain J. H. Rees and J. W. Wilson to Occupy the Judges’ Stand. A Splendid Outlook for the Coming Season—October 28 to Be the Opening Day. When the Ingleside track reopens the face of Joe Murphy, the St. Louis ex- newspaper man and turfman, will be missed from the stand. The position of presiding and associate judges of the Pa- cific Coast Jockey Club have been offered and accepted by Captain James H. Rees of Memphis, Tenn., and J. W. Wilson of Sacramento. Captain Rees is, without doubt, one of the most popular turfmen tl.mtever paid this part of the country a visit, and Mr. Wilson will be remembered as the gentlemzn who created such a fa- vorable impression by his rulings while filling the position of presiding judge during toe latter part of the past racing season at Ingleside after the departure of Captain Rees for the East. ouching on the coming racing season Secretary Leake of the Pacific Coast Jockey Club is in receipt of a letter from Captain Rees in which the genial Southern turfman says: “If all the horsemen go to 8an Fran- cisco this winter that say they are going you will have to have a fine of stables to the ocean,” This is certainly good news for the local racegoers. President A. B. spreckels of the Pacific Coast Jockey Club and President Williams of the California Jockey Club held a con- sultation yesterday, at which it was de- cided thai the California Jockey Club would open the racing season this fall on October 19 and continue until and in- cluding October 27. ‘The Pacitic Coast Jockey Club will com- mence its meeting on October 28 and con- tinue two weeks, alternating every two weeks thereatter with the California Jockey Club until March 28, 1897, the date of the expiration of the agreement exist- ing between the two associations. The change of the date of vhe opening of the meeting was necessary in order not to conflict with the race meeting at Los Angeles. which closes October 17. DISTRICT RULER OF ELKS Louis H.

Brown, Yesterday Appointed District Deputy Grand Exalted Ruler of the Elks. the order in the United States, who is now in this City reorganizing the local lodge. This appointment is but one of the fea- tures of the reorganization of Elks now in progress here. A new lodge is to be instituted early next week, founded upon the best mem- bers of the former lodge, with the addi- tion of men of prominence in professional and mc“‘i circles in this City. In fact the Elks are to make a fresh start with a membership that in itself will com- mend the order. r. Brown at once ac- cepted the appointment tendered him vesterday. Other changes ot an official nature will be made in the next few days. It will be remembered that Mr. Det- weiler came out here a few days ago from Honisburg, Pa., for the express purpose of investigating the dissenston that had been known to exist for some time in the lodge of Elks in San Francisco, He found that there had been two factions and that each had blackballed the names proposed by the others unfil it was not possible to in- crease the membership. There was also something said in regard to the Elks’ annual carnival ball in the Mechanics’ Pavilion, hlvin&bfln one of the subjects in dispute. 1. Detweiler, after making a careful examination of the tion, revoked the charter, declared against carnivals and prepared to reor- ganize with the material best calcalated ;.ot insure an amicable and successiul uture.

Devot and His Investments in Coast Gold Properties. Louis P. Devot of Paris, who is with other French capitalists the owner of the Flagstaff quartz mine and the Clark Creek placer mine, near Baker City, Or., is at the Occidental. Mr. Devot is a military officer and bas for some time been stationed at Versailles. This is the first time he has ever visited America. Physically and in voice and manner he greatly resembles Max O'Rell. He is greatly interested in the campaign that is being waged in the United States. “I found much activity in the mines of Baker City,” said Mr. Devot, ‘and I was assured that were it not_for politics 1t would be much livelier. I am doing con- siderable work on the claims which we own there. They promise to become very rich properties. This country looks very new to me, but it has great resources. I hope I shail be able to become interested in other large properties in Oregon and elsewhere on the coast.” e DID NOT GET A QUORUM The Grand Jury Thereupon Ad- journed for One Week. Expert Dunn to Examine the Books of the Edison Light and Power Company. The regular weekly session of the Grand Jury was not held yesterday because a quorum conld not be obtained. This is the first time since the jury was organized last December that an adjournment has been taken on account of the absence of mem- bers. The expert of the jury, Horace D. Dunn, was on the sick list for several days. He reported for duty last Thursday. He has been instructea to examine the books and accounts of the Edison Light and Power Company in order to ascertain if any money has been expended by this corpora- tion to obtain favor from the Board of Supervisors. 'he foreman and secretary of the Grand Jury have not received any intimation that the company wiil place obstacles in the path of this examination. It is ex- pected that the expert will begin the in- spection next Monday. Yesterday A. P. Black, Assistant Dis- - trict Attorney, communicated with Regis- trar Hinton to ascertain if the latter had some cases of illegal registration which ought to be investigated by the Grand Jury. It was agreed thatthe Registrar should place 1n the hands of the District Attorney all the important facts de- veloped by the examination of the Regis- trar’s lists, and the Grand Jury at the ses- sion to be held Friday will get the facts from the District Attorney. Registrar Hinton has positive proof that one applicant fora place on the precinct board gave a talse return of his residence in order to secure the appointment. The Registrar does not regard the en- roliment of 73,000 names as indicative of bogus registration. He fi-ured that 74,000 voters would be registered, hence the number enrolled falls 1000 short of his cal- = THE MUSE'S FAVORITE. ezieneey She Will Receive a Prize for a Poem on Admission Day.
