12 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, MONDAY, AUGUST 24, 1896 BOURBON SPIDERS BUILDING WEBS, | Desperate Efforts to Swal-| low the Populist Flies. | i | | | | THE GAME IS A BOLD ONE | Democratic Desperation Drives the Leaders Into Bunko Schemes. TRYING TO MAKE CONGRESSMEN But Some Popu’ists and Some Demo- | crats Object to Being Taken for Political Hayseeds. There was a great deal of amusement in | political circles yesterday over the bold scheme of the Democrats to beat the Pop- ulists in Congressional districts by fixing the cards in advance and then inviting the unsophisticated to play a game ot political whist, the trumps and strong suits being in the hands of the wi Bourbons. If the scheme works there will be as complete a loss of identity in the case of the Populists as there is in the case of a froz when swallowed by a sna The duty of mesmerizing the Populists devolves quite largely upon ex-Congress- man Caminetti, who is the sub-committee- man of the Democrats, appointed to see that John S. Dore of Fresno, renresenting the Populists, has a proper salivary coat- ing before the committee of fifteen shall | attempt the gastronomic feat of swallow- ing him as a morsel of vicarious atonement for the weaknesses of his party. Strange asit may seem, yet not more wonderful than the gold-brick swindle, the Democrats have had the effrontery to evolve a scheme by which all Congres- sional nominees shail resign and leave the selection of candidates to a committee in which Democrats will be the controlling | force. To carry on this shell game of politics | they have led out ex-Judge Maguire of the Fourth and Delegate Patton of the Sixth districts to make the first bet on the | contents of the sheils, hoping thereby to induce Candidates Monteitn, McGlashan, | Rogers, Barlow and Castle of tue Populist | party to lose their political fortunes on | the second bet. | There is a nice little piece of illusion | work back of the scenes in the case of Congressman James G. Maguire. He | comes up boldly in the Fourth District and resigns. On its face this would look | as if he had proffered himself as a burnt | offering on the altar of his party, fearing | nothing. Tke heroics fail, bowever, waen | it is remembered thai in his particular | district the Populists have made no nomi- | nation. Committeemen Dore, Lawlor and Cami- netti are to meet at the Lick House at 9 | A. M. to-day to confer further on how the big Democratic spiders are to swallow the | little Populistic flies that are just now buzzing with unusual activity about the parlors of the Bourbons., In his heart Mr. | Caminetti believes that the Bourbon spi- ders cannot weave enough cloth of gold about the treacherous web to hide the lethal chamber from view, but the ai- | tempt will be made to-day. Each of the committeemen is to bring his plan and if the dice can be loaded skillfully every- | thing will be well for Democracy, other- wise the fusion will fail. There is likely to be a great deal of fun in several instances, particnlarly in the Fifth, where the Democratic candidate chances to be up to ways that are peculiar himself, and Joe Kelly is his name. Never was heathen Chinee more mysterious in *‘ways that are dark and tricks that are vain,” and somebody may rise to explain ere long that the wily Joseph has carried away everything on the table and left the bunko-steerers musing over their short- sightedness in taking him for a political { nayseed. Mr. Kelly wil certainly arise to explain that he objects to being bunkoed. Another Populist with a iarge bump of | suspicion is George W. Monteith of the First District, who thinks he sees the fine hand of Huntington back of every odd movement; who looks for political bush- whackers behind every waving bush, and who denies that he is a wild man from Borneo to be lassoed and put on exhibi- tion as a sample of political paresis. He came to town too long ago for that. There are not webs enough to hold Dr. Castle of the Seventh, a Populist with a fighting record and with strength and sinews enough ic Hreak down many & po- litical fence uuy ru . swiftly into the open fields. Taylor .:ers of the Fifth, it is said, will not resizn unless he practically holds a renomination up his sleeve. The only points agreed on at yesterday’s informsal conference are these: If fusion takes place the candidates selected must accept three cardinal principles—the free | silver idea, Government management of prevents all danger of serious results from changes of water and climate, or impru- dence in eating. If taken in time cures all stomach and di- gestive troubles by healthfully and natu- rally stimulating and Jy# strengthening the tis- sues.

Candidate Maddux of the Seventh, an old time Democrat, is likely to cause a great deal of trouble, because he believes nothing can beat him, and he has already stumped a large part of the district at con- siderable outlay of his own time and money. S Another snag ahead is in the Third District, wherein the Populists and Demo- crats hold their conventions on the 4th of September at Vallejo. It isalntost certain that they will not be able to agree, each | party claiming everything in sight. From the strife and confusion generally prevailing, it is evident that the Populists do not propose to die without a great struggle, and there are many signs that the attempt at fusion in the C_ongresslonul districts will be a Don Quixotic farce. A REBELLIOUS SON. Man Who Is False to Himself Can Be True to Otners. A very practical subject was discussed in a very practical way in Mrs. Cooper’s Bible class yesterday. It was based upon Absalom’s attempt to usurp the throne of his father, David. In her opening remarks Mrs. Cooper said: “Sad as we may feel for David we cannot forget that the monstrous ingratitude and inhumarity of Absalom points back to the same traitsin David, as shown in his treatment of Uriah. From the time of that great transgression David had to bear the judgment of the Lord. Years were added to the life of the King, but he was bent down under an invisible load. Itisnow ten years since the foul crime against Usiah. Nathan bad told him that the sword would never depart from hishouse. It was verified. And now his own son, Absalom, is conspiring to usurp his father’s throne. We see the craft and the intrigue. It reads like modern politi- cal intrigues. There is the same sort of electioneering, the same senseless ostenta- tion, the same bending of the knee that torift might follow fawning. Samuel and David had set an example of noble sim- plicity, but Absalom did not like ‘plain living and high thinking.’ In speaking of Absalom’s speech to the people Mrs. Cooper said: “Itis a fair spec- No | imen of the everlasting speech of the dem- agogue in all timesand in all countries. ‘Just try me, and I will see that justiceis done to everybody !’ Absalom prostituted every holy instinct, every noble purpose, to selfisn ends. He counterfeited affection, he simulated friendship. David had him- self to blame for the (‘zck of character in Absalom. Parents must be what they would have their children to be. The true object of all government, whether in fam- ily or state, is self-government. No one can properly govern others who hasnot first iearned how to govern himself. David had not taught his son self-government. The - nd was seif-destruction, There is too much of *bringing up’ of children and too little of the ‘training up’ of children. It takes a man of very fine sense to carry him- Fathers ought never to be s0 busy with public af- fairs as to neglect their children. Chil- dren have more need of models than of critics.” AN IDEAL EXCURSION. Manager Locke Gives Many People a Specially Pleasant Trip to Dun- cans Mills. Yesterday’s special excursion to Dun- cans Mills, Cazadero and the big trees on Austin Creek and Russian River, over the North Pacific Coast Railroad, was a posi- tive success, notwithstanding it was the | second edition of the Sunday before. Excursion Manager Locke, in his usual systematic manner, looked after the pre- paratory details necessary for the comfort of his patrons, and personally conducted the excursion to the satisfaction of all. The ride, with its variety of scenes of in- | terest, is one of the mostinteresting single- day trips out of the metropolis, and for the distance traveled is one of the eheap- est in the State, at the popular rate of $1 50. The train ran through on good time to Duncans Mills, where an hour’s stop was made for dinner. The ride was then con- tinued to Elm Grove and Cazadero. One | of the best features of the trip was the stop at Moscow cottage on the return trip, where Mr. from which an inspiring view of the Rus- sian River is had. Mr. Newton, with great thoughtfulness and his usual hospi- tality, had a refreshment table out on the lawn, where an attendant served iced punch to all the visitors. Thence a good run was made for Sausalito, the party ar- riving in the City about 8:30 last evening. Mr. Locke’s next venture will be a spe- cial train for Bohemia Grove, where the Bohemian Club held its jinks Saturday night, for Sunday, September 6, when a popular rate will be offered the public, with the added attraction of reserved seats. H F. Stollz, a Butcher, Is Arrested on Three Charges. Slaughtered a Cow on His Premises That Was Found to Be Badly Diseased. One of the worst cases that has come under the notice of Meat Inspector Ben Davis was investigated by him yesterday afternoon. Policeman 8mith, who is stationed in the Mission district, notified the Meat In- spector by telephone about 1 o’clock that H. F. Stoltz, butcher, Pride of the Valley Market, 510 Castro street, had during the night killed a diseased cow on his prem- ises. Davis at once drove out to the place He could not find Stoltz, but he had no trouble in getting into the shop, as the door was open. He saw a block and tackle hanging from a beam and other evidences that a cow had been slaugh- terec. He examined the beef hanging up in the shop, the condition of which aroused his suspicions. In the yara among a pile of manure he found the head and the rest of the offal, which he took possession of. He carefully examined the head and dis- covered a big lump over one of the eyes, which satisfied him that the animal had been diseased. In other words, that it had been suffering from lumpy jaw. Inquiries were made among the neigh- bors as to whether they knew anything of the cow having been slaughtered, but Davis could get no satisfactory statement from any of them. He learned, however, that a nephew of Stoltz had seen the cow slaughtered, but the boy was not at home and he could not get his statement. Davis took the head and offal to Dr. I. W. O’Rourke, 331 Golden Gate avenue, who carefully examined them and handed Davis the following brief report of what he had found: “‘A large actinomycotic tumor which penetrated deeply into the frontal sinus of the skull. The luugs were tuberculous.’” The Meat Inspector swore out com- plaints against Stoltz on three charges of violating the health ordinance; one for depositing offal on his premises, an- other for exposing diseased meat for sale and the third for slaughtering a cow out- side the regular limits. Stoliz was arrested last night by Officer P. G. Swith. He was released on $50 bail for each charge. —_——— BORROW on sealskins, siiks and jewels at Uncle . !

HE 15 A WARD ~ OF THE SPIRITS, The O0dd Baptism Last Night of Otis Lincoln Johnson. SPIRITS TO GUARD HIM. Many Were Considered Present, Though Invisible to Spectators. FLOWERS OF TRUTH AND LIFE. A Pleasing Ceremony and an Event in Local Spiritualistic Circles. Quite a number of spiritualists assembled in Scottish Hall last evening to do honor to the christening of Otis Lincoln John- | son, a fative sou, some three months of | age. All unconscious of the momentous era in his life, the infant was handed pas- sively from the arms of his mother to those of Mrs. G. W. Shriner, the medium, by whom the rites of baptism were per- formed. Considered all in ali, it marked | an epoch in the spiritual and material life i of the youngest participant, who was the lion of the evening. At an early hour the hall was well filled. | Mrs. G. W. Shriner presided and at 8 o'clock the exercises were opened with the singing of the favorite hymn, “‘Nearer, My God, to Thee.” “Independence Bell,” the patriotic poem, was then recited in spirited style by little Alice Wilson. A distingnished medium, recently from | St. Paul, Minn., next talked to the audi- | ence. ‘It is confiaently expected,”” she said, *‘that the good spirits gathered here to-night will aid in the rapid unfolding of | the spiritual nature of the child that has | been brought to us by its fond parents for baptism. “Let them not forget it is their duty to see that the chiid is well clothed and fed. They should also be prepared to answer any and all questions it may put to them. Childhooa is an emblem of beauty and purity. In man there is a spiritual as well as a material nature, and the har- monious blending of these is what we should strive to understand and to con- summate. In this connection it is well to remember that the child is the man. *8o, I say to you, search diligently for wisdom, so that you may save yourselves from ignorance and superstition. Edu- cate your little ones. Take them among the flowers and the rocks, tell them to listen to the voice of the infinite God, and let them learn that the great uplifting power is spirituality. “‘The child with us to-night will draw around it the spiritual influence of its parents and with the friendliness of the host of other spirits here present to aid it will acquire a firmer hold upon earth-life the aid of these friendly powers. Let us deck it, then, with the flowers of purity, | truth and life.” Mrs. Shriner said: the name of the Father, the S8on and the Holy Spirit. May thy life be as bright as the flowers yon now hola (throwing into his lap a lot of red and white sweet peas). I call upon the spirit world to give this child a guide through life.”” The ceremony of bavotism thus ended, the infant was passed back into the arms of its waiting mother and the feature of the evening was over. The remainder of the time was taken up | with songs _and recitations and tests by | Mrs. W. X. Robertson and Mrs. K. S. Aiken. Such is the history of a memor- able uight in San Francisco spiritualism. FROM THZ ROOF TO DEATH. Sleven Mencaci’s Mysterious Ambula- tion Over the Top of a House. Sleven Mencaci met death yesterday morning in a rather mysterious manuer. From what could be learned from the people living at Nos. 10 ana 12 August alley, a narrow by-way off Green street, be- tween Powell and Mason, Mencaci left his | bedroom at 6:30 o'clock clad in his drawers and undershirt and climbed on to the slanting roof of No. 12, which adjoins No. 10, the house where he had been rooming. Crossing over the roof to the north side he either jumped or feil to the yvard below, a distance of about fourteen feet. In his downward course he must have struck the top of a board fence which divides the adjoining lots. The fall at- tracted the attention of the family living in No. 12, who, on making an investiga- tion, discovered him lying in the yard. He was placed in a hack and driven to the County Hospital, where he lingered in great agony until 1 o’clock, when he died. | His body was removed to the Morgue. He was not intoxicated nor was hea somnambulist 8o far as could be ascer- | tained. 3 ————————— THEY REFUSED TO PAY. Two Young Men Create a Disturbance Over the Price of a Meal. Two callow youths created considerable excitement in front of an O’Farreil-street restaurant yesterday evenicg. The young men entered the restauraut with ambi- tious appetites and ordered a double al- lowance of all the viands. They objected, however, to paying a double reckoning, and their angry arguments with the pro- vrietor attracted a crowd. The arrival of an officer convinced the youths that they had better settle, and the apparently im- minent riot was averted. ———— Ex Rays Outdone—Brought to Life.

SEEK LEGISLATIVE AID. An Effort Will Be Made for a Law Similar to That of New York. STETSON FAVORS THE BIKE: The President of the North Pacific Coast Road Says His Company Will Encourage Wheeling. “Commencing September 1, 1896, 25 cents will be the charge for the transportation in baggage-car of a bicycle, a tricycle or a baby carriage between any two points.’”” 8o say the powers that be of the Southern Pacific. And the wheelmen of the City, whose name is legion, rise up 1in their might and say *“nit.” Tricycles and baby carriages may be taxed all the traffic can bear, but the bicycle they say must go free. And what is more to the point they say they are numerous enough and ener- getic enough to see that it does go free. The war upon the free transportation of bicycles has been waged quietly but ef- fectively by the railroad company for some time, but the statement that in the near future the silent steed would at one fell swoop be deprived of all its privileges a-rail came to the bicyclists with consid- erable of a shock. Heretofore it has been the custom to charge upon certain por- tions of the road, not for any apparent reason, but simply because that was orders, For instance, a prominent clubman savs he was recently charged 50 cents trans- portation for his wheel to Napa and re- turn. On other portions of the road trans- ortation has been gratis, but single riders Eave found it advantageous to “make it all right'’” with the baggageman. Other- wise the wheelman was apt to find that his eigteen-pound racer had been snugly stored with a couple of Saratogas on top of 1t. Now the edict has gone forth that the riders are to pay for their mounts on all portions of the Southern Pacific, and that includes the Oakland ferry. That is the most unkindest cut, for it has long been the custom of San Francisco wheelmen to visit the other side of the bay in hordes on Sundays and holidays. It was on the other side of the bay that the road races bave been held and it was from there that the majority of riders started for San Jose and upon other runs to points of interest. And now Mr. Hunt- ington says they must pay 10 cents for each wheel each way and that raise the issne between Mr, Huntington aud the railroad. The system in vogue on those portions of theroad wherea c!arge is made for wheels and which will doubtless be adopted over all the roads, is to make out an ‘‘excess baggage slip” for the wheel- men, that is a statement that the traveler is provided with baggage in excess of the 100 pounds allowed, albeit the airy bike would not tip the scales at more than twenty-two or twenty-three pounds and its owner’s other bagzage is hidden in.the not commodious pockets of a scant bicycle suit. And for this ‘‘excess’” a uniform rate of 25 cents will be charged. The riders claim this is an unfair and un- reasonable discrimination and how to cir- cumvent the railroad was the main topic of conversation in clubrooms i\iesterdny. “This is a matter which the League of American Wheeimen will take np and hght vigorously,” said S. Plummer, di- rector of the Bay City Wheelmen. ‘‘The league has been fighting such moves on the part of railroads all over the country, and has met with a large degree of suc: cess. In New York an act has been passed making it unlawful for a railroad com- pany to charge for bicvcles as excess bag- gage, and we will make an effort to have a similar enactment in this State. The wheelmen all over the coast are interested in this matter. San Jose, Stockton, Suc- ramento, Los Angeles, in fact, all the wheeling clubs in the State are preparing to make a vigorous campaign, and they will be joined by the many thousands of unattached wheelmen. I do not deny that it 18 a nuisance to handle wheels in a baggace-car, but this can be greatly obviated here as it has else- where by the provision of racks and hooks. The Southern Pacific has already had plans presented to it for stowing away wheels. They will eventually have to adopt some pian of the kind. “In tome of the Eastern Statesa plan was carried into effect by the racing men which surprised the railroad. The racing men there are very numerous and do much traveling. Each had a good stout trunk provided for Lis wheel, and when fifty or 2 hundred of them started for a meet their Joad of trunks looked like a hotel-moving. ‘The baggagemen groaned when they saw them coming, and there was no excess to ay. Trunks had ‘to be checkea free. omething of that kind might prove a vantageous here.” A At the Imperial Cycling Club quarters the proposed change was discussed with wry faces. “‘We will ficht that proposi- tion to the bitter end,” said Lieutenant Charles Trolliet. *‘There are a great many wheelmen in this City and they will make themselves felt in politics. Ia the mean- time we will probably hold our road races and our runs on this side of the bay or in the vicinity of Sausalitoe. Many of the boys who have been in the habit of taking frequent rips to San Jose and other dis- tant points, returning by rail, will proba- bly content themselves With shorter rides rather than be subjected to an extra charge. .

They have been accus- tomed to bring their wheels with them and ride to and from work. A charge cf 20 cents a day would be a material item in their weekly expenses.’’ Frank Byrne, the well-known racing man, also expressed the opinion that ex- cursions acrnss the bay would be very in- frequent while the charge for bicycles was in effect. The only route out of the City which is largely patronized by wheelmen and is not controlled by the Southern Pacific is the North Pacific Coast Railroad via Sau- salito. James B. Stetson, president of the road, says his company has no intention of charging for bicycles. “It has always | been our policy to encourage bicycles to use our line,”” he said. *“We donot get all of the mileage they travel, but are glad to get what we can. We have always tried to make things convenient for them, and on Sundays put on an extra car to carry their wheels. ‘I recognize the fact that wheelmen are not the nabobs of the land. They are mostly young men who are working fora salary. “A bicycle I consider a most ad- vantageous 1ecreation for them and see no reason why its uses should be discour- aged or made expensive. I have always worked for the improvement of the roads about Sausalito, though that may seem 2 rather negative position for a railroad. I believe, however, it will pay in the long run. “The handling of their wheels, of course, occasions some inconvenience, but we are very willing to put up with itand have no intention of imposing a charge upon wheelmen.”’ b Mr. Stetson is also president of the Cali- fornia-street Cable Company, and he de- clares that road is the only one in the City which carres bicycles. He has in- structed his men to allow patrons to bring their wheels aboard and collect no fare for them. The fight which the local wheelmen in- tend to make has been waged bitterly throughout the East. The League of American Wheelmen’s Journal recently printed a list of 133 roads which had been prevailed upon to carry wheels free. ROBB:D HIS EMPLOYER.

Augustine Cabano, a vegetable gardener on the Mission road between the Five and Six-mite houses, reported to the Seven- | teenth-sireet station yesterday morning that $90, $75 in gold and $15 in silver, had been stolen from his bedroom last Friday afternoon. The money was sewed up in the mattress in Cabano’s bedroom. He suspected Silvo Bresolesi, a boy who was working for bim, and yesterday Lieu- tenant Burke and Sergeant Mooney ar- rested Bresolesi and booked him on the charge of grand larceny.
