He ELECTORS MUST BE GROUPED Olla Podrida Tickets Not Conter pla‘ed by the Election Law as It Exists Here. Secretary of State Brown yesterday stated to several persons in this City that he would refuse to place upon the ticket the names of the fusion Demopoptic- Cratulistic Presidential electors on the ground that the election law of California required the names of the electors to be arranged alphabetically in groups under their party designation. He said that as soon as the Demopops and Cratulists presented the names to him he would dictate a letter to the Attorney-General asking for his opinion in the matter. Then he took the evening train for Sacramento. Attorney-General W. F. Fitzeerald was seen at his residence last evening by a representative of THE CALL. The Attorney- General was willing to discuss the weather, the whale hunt, the condition of the prune crop or any other subject, but he declined to be interviewed for publication on the question of whether he had or had not advised the Secretary of State not to | recognize the fusion electors. He said he | had given the Secretary of State no offi- cial opinion in the matter. “Was he given tojunderstand that he could not officially and legally recognize the fusion electors, either directly or in- directly from you?'’ was asked. “I have not examined the subject and I am not prepared to givean opinion to any one,” replied the Attorney-General. “May I inquire if you and tue Secretary of Btate had a consultation on the sub- ject?” “Not a consultation. He told me simply that he intended to write me & letter ask- ing,me for a written opinion on the sub- ject.” “‘Has the letter been written?’” “T have not received such a letter,” re- plied Attorney-General Fitzgerald with a low chuckle, which was the outburst of several preceding smiles. *““When will you render an opinion on the subject?” was asked. “After I receive the letter from the Secretary of State,” saia. the Attorney- General quizzicaily. *When I have an opinion on the subject to make public THE Cavy shall know it,”” he added. “Do you know if a precedent has been established in any other State showing that fusion electors cannot be legally ac- cepted ?”’ **As 1 said before, young man, I decline to be interviewed on thissubject,’”” he said, with a smile as broad as the State at large. “But upon what ground did the Secre- tary of State make such a statement—" “Now, I like reporters; they have al- ways treated me ail right, but yon must excuse me from talking. If I had any in- formation to give out or had prepared an opinion you should know it.”’ Attorney-General Fitzgerald paused re- flectively and then suggested: ‘Go and see Brown—but no, he’s gone to Sacra- mento, I believe; telephone him—that’s 1t, telephone Brown. Just say I declined | to be interviewed,” said the Attorney- eneral with a concluding smile. | Secretary of State Brown was seen in Sacramento last night immediately after his arrival there, but positively declined to be interviewed on the subject. — THE FUSION MEETING. In Connection With the Foregolng Report. The general conference committee of seventeen, consisting of six Democrats, six Populists and taree Silverites, met yesier- day morning at the California Hotel, George W. Baker presiding and M. F. Tarpey officiating as secretary. W. H. Alford, chairman of the Demo- cratic State Central Committee, named the following Democrats to act upon tue joint Congressional conference committee: Ea- ene N. Deuprey, H. P. Andrews, A. Jaminetti, Woodson Garrard, M. C. Has- sett and Joseph Leggett. The Populists appointed one member from the six Congressional districts, as fol- lows: J. W. Keegan, L. M. Landsborough, J. M. Moore, A. B. Kinne, E. M. Wardell, J. 8. Dore. In James G. Maguire’s dis- trict, the Fourth, no appointment was made. The California silver campaign com- mittee appointed the following three mem- bers: Charles D. Lane, W. P. Lawlor and James P. Edoff. On theappointment of the committee of fifteen to constitute the joint Congressional conference committee, the general confer- ence of seventeen adjourned to meet at the California Hotel at 10 A. M., Septem- ber 7. The joint Congressional conference com- mittee then proceeded to organize, ten members bein%preuent. Eugene N. Deuprey was elected tem- porary chairman and W. P. Lawlor tem- porary secretary. In so much as the Silver representatives had no candidate for Congress, and would, therefore, occupy a comparatively neutral position, it was decided that the perma- nent officers be selected among their num- ber. Accoraingly Charles D. Lane was nominated as permanent chairman b E. M. Wardell, seconded by George Wy Baker. Mr. Lane was elected unanimously. A. B. Kinne nominated James P. Edoff Matters for s;rmunent secretary, seconded by E. M. Wardell, and he was also chosen unan- imously. Thbe committee will again meet at 2 p. M. next Monday at the headquarters of the Silver Campaign = Committee, Baldwin Hotel, each of the parties to notify its representatives to be there at that date and time. — McGLASHAN ANGRY.

C.F.McGlashan, eople’s party candidate from the Second, had blood in his eye in the California Hotel fusion slaughter-nouse before the meeting of the joint committees yesterday. He charged Caminetti and Cator with having conspired to job him ir the new deal by appointing some one else in his district in case he should resign, and he swore he would not resign. He named as his authority ex-Congressman Louttit of Stockton. Mr, Caminetti denied the truth of the suspicion and said something uncompli- mentary concerning Louttit, whereupon McGlashan flared up and declared that Louttit was his friend and that he did not Brogou to hear him abused behind his ack.

His Fellow-Butchers Vouch for His Reliability—No Intention of De- frauding the Public. H. F. Stolz wishes to deny having ex- posed diseased meat for sale. He is in business at 510 Castro street. The sale for which he wrs convicted on Monday was of a cow for an individual and not for the public. He states that he had no desire to do wrong and had no intention of deceiv- ing the public. He is particularly careful about his meat and rejects any but first- class meats. All the neighborhood recog- nizes his reliability as a first-zlass butcher. 2 The following statement is self-explana- ory: SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 24, 1896. We, the undersigned, wholesale butchers of the City of Sau Francisco, hereby certify that H. F. Stolz, 510 Castro street, has bought nothing of us but the best first-class quality of, all meats 10 be had since he has been in busi- ness J. G. Johnson & Son, 831 Kearny street; J.

Inspector Davis states that he examined the premises of H. F. Stolz and found the meat in question. The heart, liver, etc., were hung separate from the carcass. He has every confidence in the good faith of Mr. Stolz ana _the representations of the wholesale dealers. THE UNDERTAKER 1 AND HARD TIMES, He Says There Is Very Little Money in His Business. FUNERALS ARE PLENTY, But the Surviving Friends Will Not Pay the Bills. RETAIL PRICE OF COFFIN They Are Not High Considering Ex- penses of Funeral Directors Very Heavy. The undertakers complain bitterly of the hara times. “But how can that be? People keep dying just thesame; they must be buried; the price of coffins and of graves has not come down, have they?’ is the question which naturally follows, “No, certainly not; and the price of graves has nothing todo with the case anyhow,” said the undertaker. *The fact is, however, that a funeral is counted in | among the list o/ luxuries after all. People | die and are buried in these as in otner times, but they or their friends call for cheaper coffins and fewer carriages. But that would be aliright, too, and prove no great cause for complaint. The worst of it 1s the bill is seldom paid. I know one un- dertaking concern in this City that has from §$30,000 to $40,000 outstanding on its books, of which it does not expect to collect more than 10 per cent. That’s what makes | the hard times with the undertakers.’’ “But even this concern, with a_ loss of say $25,000 on $30,000 worth of business, is probably making money. Your charges make allowance for a big loss, don't they?” *‘The concern is solvent, to be sure, and the members live reasonably well, but that is the best that can be said of any undertaker. None of them get rich. don’t know of a single undertaker who has got rich in the business. There is one old house here that. perhaps is an exception to that rule, but it is a fortune that was a long time accumulating—it was the house and 1ts reputation, rather than the men now controlling, that has brought the money. Ithasaimost a monopoly of the funerals of the wealthier class of people who die. The average undertaker has a vother precarious time of it. - ‘‘There is plenty of work for all to profit reasonably well if it were cquitably dis- tributed ana the bills were paid. For in- stance, there are thirty undertakers in the City. The death-rate averages 550 a month. That would give to each under- taker eighteen funerals a month. Some there are who have forty and fifty a month, while others secure but three or four. h‘ow., one would think that the bill for the burial of father, mother, sister or brother would be among the first to be paid by surviving relatives. The fact is that the undertaker never expects to col- lect his bill within six momg: after the funeral, for the reason that verv,very few begin to think of paying before that time. In the case of estates, where the bill goes to executors or administrators, it is some- times years before the pill is paid, These are the things that make the life of the undertaker unhappy. “In the meantime,” continued the fu- neral director, “‘we have to pay up prompt- ly every month our bills for carriages to the livery stable, our coffin bills, our ad- vertising bills and the wages of our help— all have to be. met promptiy when due. Then there are the horses to be kept, etc. Every undertaker has his hearse and dead wagon and buggy. One concern has three hearses and two dead wagors. People say that the price of coffins, the cost of funer- als, is excessive. Considering all things they are very moderate.” “What is the cost of a 7 able funeral?” P NI TS “‘Well, that all depends. The location of the grave, the number of carriages, etc., regulate the cost. Man or woman, how- ever, can be very nicely buried for $200. That is a gooa average funeral. But where most of us get a case of that kind we get & number where the price is nothing. ou see the undertaker must answer his call without asking any questions. Like the doctor he is summoned and must respond whether there is money in it or not. When eople die they must be buried, you know. 0 you see there is more to make the un- dertaker gloomy than the mere funeral trappings with which he is surrounded.” ——————— LoANS on diamonds.

Crocker. president of the Market-sireet Railway Company, had the honor of a visit from a delegation of Oak-street property-owners yesterday. They came to ask him the intentions of the company relative to the abandoned portion of the Oak-street cable line. He stated to them that he had but just returned from 8 tour abroad and had not been able to give the matter consideration. He said that he would take the matter up and Miss Clara Parrish, the W. C. T. U, Missionary, Who Leaves To-Day for Japan. Parrish, a missionary who will leave for Japan to-day by the Coptic for a temper- ance crusade around the world. Miss Parrish is being sent out under the auspices of the National W.C.T. U., and alarge number of ladies interested in the blue - ribbon cause were present at the headquarters to wish the m:ssionary god- speed on her way. The rooms had been charmingly deco- rated with flowers for the occasion, and the brief speeches, which formed the in- formal programme, were diversified with music and recitations. Miss Parrish, simply dressed in a dark costume, with a | gay bouquet of flowers at her waist, was the recipient of many hand-shakes and good wishes during the intermissionsin the programme. During some of the ad- dresses she was visibly moved by the words of friendship and admonition spoken by her elders in the temperarce canse, and when first called on for a speech she said half brokenly that there are moments when thought lies too deep | for words. Among the speakers who gave words of cheer to the nutfioing missionary were: Mrs. Sturtevant Peet, president of the California W. C. T. U.; Mrs. Grace Kim- ball of Oakland; Mrs. F. D. Spencer, who gnve accounts of other missionaries who ad gone out to the Orient; Mrs. Hobson | of Sacramento, who said that her interest in the work had never flagfed since 1873. Mrs. Reesner of Toledo, Mrs. Craise and Mrs. Gilmore of Denver, Miss Calbertson and Mrs. Herrietta Brown also spoke en- ouraging words. 5 Miss Bgewin of South America said that in Montevideo there was a band of ardent workers. Rev. Mr. Hendry, a former mis- sionary in China, made an earnest ad- dress, describing the baleful effects of opium in the flowery land. During the last two decades he the opium habit bad increased to an alarming extent in China, and he severely scored the British Government for tacitly encouraging the opium trade. ‘When asked for an account of her pro- posed work Miss Parrish said that her plans would depend a good deal upon circumstances. ‘“Japan is my first thought, and sfter -that Australia,” she said. “I am willing to give the best part of my life to the Jnfmnese. but | do not know how they will look upon my work.” The reception concluded with brief ad- dresses by Mrs. Ada Van Pelt and other visitors. s Miss Clara Parrish is well known in the temperance field in this country. Sheisa native of Paris, LIl.,, and in 1889 was ap- pointed field or%;mizer for her own branch, and in 1892 she became National organizer since then has done effective work in twenty- four different States. AT " BE TIVOLL A Large Audience Listens to a New Double Bill. The new bill at the Tivoli last night con- sisted of the balcony and marriage scenes from “*Romeo and Juliet,” followed by the “Cavalleria Rusticana,” for the first time this season. Both performances elicited warm applause from a large audience. In the ‘‘Romeo and Juliet” excerpts the three principals repeated their excellent work of the second night of the season. Signor Michelena made an impassioned Romeo, Nina Bertini Humphrys was a thoroughly ntlfluetoxg Juliet, both vocally and histrionically. and Signor Abramoff's fine voice and manly bearing did good service in the role of Friar Laurence. The *‘Cavalleria” was given in two acte, as Mascagni originally wrote it. The intermezzo was played as a prelude to the second act. Nina Bertini Humphrys made an effective Santozza, and she sang the music of her role with a good deal of inish and ex non. Bernice Holmes was a amma Lucia, but Irene Mull had | ly dash and magnetism enough for the role of Lola. Martin Pache made some confusion of would be prepared to talk further to the prox erty-owners of that thoroughfare throu, their representatives in about ten days. The representatives leit with the determination to return for, a definite answer after the period Mr. Crocker required for coming to a decision. A PAGE BROWN'S BONDS A Mistake in Brown’s Plans for the New Ferry Depot Discovered. Uucle Sam Wil Have to Pay Rent for All Hs Offices on the Water Front. The Harbor Commissioners have dis- covered a mistake in the late A. Page Brown’s plans for the new ferry depot. Owing to a transposition of a figure the State will be put to many thousands of dollars expense, and now the question arises, “Who is to pay for the blunder?” The Commissioners discusced the matter at yesterday’s meeting, and it was finally decided to instruct Tirey L. Ford, the board’s attorney, io“confer with the late architect’s bondsmen, to seeif an amicable understanding cou.d not be reached. The | commission is determined not to shoulder | the expense entailed in correcting the blunder,so the late architect’s estate or his bondsmen will have to suffer. The Stonecutters’ Union sent three rep- resentatives to represent them before the commission. They asserted that Sub- contractor 0’Neil had said that men on stone work would be made to labor ten hours a day. President Colnon assured them that eight hours would constitute a day’s work and that all contractors would be held strictly to that line. Chief Wharfinger Root reported to the board that the customs authorities occu- pied twelve places on the water front and that only one paid rent. President Colnon suggested a conference with the Collector of the Port, and it was decided to ask Mr. Wise to be_in attendance at to-morrow’s meeting. President Colnon will insist that Uncle Sam pay his dues the same as any private individual, he coal market is overstocked and a number of vessels are idle in consequence. Yesterday the steamer Portland was laid off, and this ufternoon she will go to Oak- jand Creek to lie up. The police on the front are after lottery- dealers. Yesterday they arrested 1 Bertleson and found on him 110 Mexican tickets. The latter were confiscated and the prisoner was locked up in the Harbor Police station.

Three Part'es Adopt a Suffrage Plank in Their Plat- forms. ANOTHER LECTURER COMING. Mrs. Chapman-Catt Will Soon Be Here .and Lend Her Eloqu-nce to Help the Cause. Picnic oratory is a field in which the brilliant lady orators of the woman suf- frage cause have had little chance to dis- tinguish themselves, at least in this State. Now, however, the party leaders are com- mencing to invite the more eloguent speakers connected with the movement to attend the country frolics of theirfollowers and address the festive gatherings on the theme which holds so deep an interest for the women of California. “Yes,” remarked Miss Mary E. Hay, the State organizer and chairman of the ‘Woman Buffrage State Central Committee yesterday, ‘‘we are going to shine on the picnic platform as well ason the stage. Not that the politicians will expect us to caper about over the dancing floor, but they do want us to talk about suffrage to people who are out in the woods for a good time. We have selected a few of our best speakers for the work, and whatever ot: er fauit the audiences may find at all events they"wul not call the suffrage speeches dry. Kmong the speeches to be delivered in the near future at picnics and elsewhere will be several by Mrs. Carrie Chapman- Catt, a well-known suffrage orator, who will soon arrive from the East. The lady’s success in the East has been phe- nomenal, and het advent in California will, it is bellevea, be a great help to the suffrage cause during tue ensuing cam- paigr. She will speak at a series of par- lor meetings on the evenings of the 7th, 8th and 10th of September and at the Popu- list picnic to be held on the9th of Septem- ber at Haywards. Miss Anthony will “talk suffrage,” as she calls it, before the Laurel Club on the 2d of September, and at the picnic of the Alameda Céunty équnl Suffrage Club at Leona Heightson the 9th. Mrs. Ida C. Hazlett will address Populist picnickers at Tulareand Modesto on the 28th and 29th insts., Mrs. E. G. Greene performing a similar offic: Wat- sonville on_ the 28th. Miss Shaw will lecture at Martinez on the night of the 27th inst., at Simpson Memorial Church in this City on the 28th, before the Oak- land Y. M. C. A. on the 6th of September, and before the Labor Council of this Uity on the following evening in Metropolitan Temple. “I thought my cup of joy was fullas I left that glorious meeting last Saturday nighty’ said Miss Anthony, ‘“‘but now a new happiness has been granted to me. I have just received the encouraging news that in Idaho the Democrats, Populists and Silverites have alladopted a woman’s suffrage plank in their party platforms, and 1 am assured that the Republicans will do the same at their convention, which is_to open on the 26th of this month. Idaho has been well organized with woman suffrage clubs for over a year, some of our best speakers having | been laboring there ever since the agita- tion commenced. “The example of California has evi- dently born fruit in Idaho, and when the State has once admitted women to the bal- lot, the influence of this good example will be even more poweriful and far-reach- ing. Our cause owes much to THE CALL, which we all regard as our paver. I hear its circulation has greatly increased, es- pecially in the interior aistricts, since its espousal of the woman suffrage cause. The interest which women in the country are taking in the present fight for equal political rights is most intense. I know of cases where they have traveled ten, fif- teen, twenty or more miles, over dusty, hot roads, in order to attend a suffragist meeting or get the latest news of the movement. THE CALL has beeome, so to speak, a gospel of hope to these devoted women of the farm and sierra.” IMPROVING GARFIELD SQUARE. Concrete Sidewalks and Wall Being Placed ~round the Inclosure.

They mark the unhealthy condition of the blood-current that throws them up. You must get down to the blood, before you can be rid of them. Local treatment is useless. It suppresses, but ¢ does not heal. The best rem- edy for eruptions, scrofula, sores, and all blood diseases, is Ayer’s Sarsaparilla. J— undergoing street repairs, gives to that portion of the Mission an improved and respectable appearance so far as the streets go. The City authorities are in favor with the property-owners, so far as bringing Garfield square into harmony wit: the surrounding improvements is concerned. A new stone sidewalk and a three-foot stone wall of the same material are being put down around the square, which, though small. lying as it does between Treat avenue, Twenty-fifth, Twenty-sixth and Harrison streets, is nevertheless quite @ boon to the residents in that section. This improvement to the sidewalk will necessitate the removal of about three feet of earth from the front of the square, whege it is that much too high to conform. with the grade on Treat avenue. With the removal of this elevation the large, unsightly and effensive shaggy pines on that line will be cut down and converted into firewood. . This improvement, together with the improvements about Aita square, between Jackson and Clay streets, is being done under the immediate supervision of Charles W. Love, the head gardener for the City, through whose skill and manage- ment the public squares have been mate- rially improved during the past two years. asteile e il New Plan for Buying Theater Seats. “Madame Sans Gene” will be the attraction at the Baldwin Theater next Monday night, The play will be produced on the same elabo- rate scale as in New York, and in the leading roles will appear Kathryn Kidder and Au- gustus Cook.
