16 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 5, 1896. FOR PROTECTION AND BIMETALLISM LABOR WILL HAVE A REPRESENTATIVE A House-Painter Will Prob- ably Succeed Colonel Crocker. D. E. WKINLAY THE MAN Centenarian Diamond Joined the Continental League With Joy. GENERAL BARNES TOC-NIGHT. He Will Address the People at the Auditorium Upon the Issues ot the Day. The executive committee of the Repub- lican State Central Committee will at its meeting to-day appoint a successor on the Presidential electoral ticket to Colonel C. F. Crocker, withdrawn. | The committee are unanimously of the opinion that a mechanic or laborer should be appointed to represent the workingmen of this State. The professional and other | classes of the community are already well represented on the ticket, as will be seen from the following: First District, Mr. Francis, proprietor and editor of the Napa Register. Second and Tkird, attorneys-at-law, Messrs. | J. M. Walling and H. A. Powell respectively. | Fourth, & merchant, J. S. Spear. Fifth, merchant and sugar manufacturer, Claus Spreckels. Sixth, a farmer, Thomas Flint. Seventh, a horticulturist and grower of olive | oil, Elwood Cooper. At large, & ship-builder and ironworker, Irving M. Scott. | The selection of a representative work- ingman as elector at large would round off the ticket very nicely, and would make | it truly representative of all classes of the community. D. E. McKinlay, a house- painter, whose shop is at Santa Rosa, will probably be the choice. Persons wishing to hear General W. H. L. Barnes speak should go early to-night to the Auditorium, corner of Eddy and Jones streets. The speech will be an elaborate affair and will deal exhaustively with the great issues now before the peo- ple, namely, the protective system of tariff as contrasted with free trade or tariff for revenue only, and the question as to whether or not the unlimited coin- age of silver and the arbitrary doubling | of its bullion value would be a success economically, and if the expansion of the currency would benefit or injure the laboring masses. It would be superfluous to praise Gen- eral Barnes’ drawing power as a speaker, the grace of his diction or the clean-cut, | couvincing style of his reasoning. It is | only necessary to mention the fact that| General Barnes will be the only speaker and that he will have the evening to him- self and a clear field whereon he may have ample room to tharsh the floor with the silver monometallists. The gallery will be reserved for ladies and their escorts. Colonel Henry G. Shaw is resting in town for a day or two after his arduous campaigning tour in the Sierra foothills on behalf of McKinley and protection. He will resume his trip in a few days. He met with the most unexpected and grati- fying success on the trip. M. D. Calkins of Amador County, one of the most popular editors in Northern Cali- fornia, is spending a few days in this City, and is most enthusiasticin his expressions concerning the loyalty of the Republicans of Amador County to the cause of protec- tion to home products and to the Ameri- can laborer. —_— CONTINENTAL LEAGUE. Meeting of cans True-Blue Republi- in Saratoga Hall. There was the usual large attendance of members of that crack organization, the | Continental League, in Saratoga Hall last | evening. The leazue is the largest Re- publican organization in the City, and now numbers close upon 1500 members. There are two uniformed drill corps con- nected with the league, and they will be seen and heard often during the cam- vaign. President Frank D. Worth presidea last night, and Maurice L. Asher kept the min- utes of the meeting. A vote of thanks was tendered to Pro- fessor Sichel for furnishing music on the occasion of the laaies’ night entertain- ment last week, and also for his voluntary efforts in a musical way for the league on all other occasions. James Kidney, a pioneer speaker and worker in the ‘cause of labor, addressed the league. He raised a storm of applause when he mentioned the Republican vic- tory in Vermont. He called attention to Mr. Hearst’s previous boasts in the New York Journal to the effect that Vermont’s usual Republican majority would fall at least 20,000 behind. JHia prediction was not fulfilled. On the contrary, Vermont exceeded her usual Republican majority by 100 per cent. Those old Vermont Yankees are thoughtiul, reasonable folks, the speaker added. Mr. Kidney laid stress upon the unwill- NEW TO-DAY. (Uticura WORKS Wonders In curing torturing, disfiguring, humiliating humors of the Skin, Scalp, and Blood when all else fails.

He declared that in New England, because of the lack of protection under the Democratic adminis- tration, eighteen factories are clesed, ten are working on half time and the rest on quarter time. Those whic. are in opera- tion are finishing orders on contracts, and when these are finished the factories will be closed. Nearly 70,000 persons were thrown out of employment in those mills this year. The wages paid last year amounted to $3,250,000, while this year up to J%e 1 ihey amounted to less than The falling off in the production and sale of American wool this year amounts to nearly 300,000,000 pounds, and our 1m- ports were 256,000,000 pounds. In one year our imports 'of Eng!ish woolen goods increased from $6,000,000 to $46,000,000. In Manchester and otherjmanuiacturing towns of England the factories are in operation day and night to flood the American markets with cheap goods, ad- mitted under the low tariff of the Wilson act, in the expectation that if McKinley is elected the gates of America will be closed to her competition. The Democracy always favored the ad- mission of the products of pauper labor from Europe at a low tariff, and Bryan while in Congress said that he was ashamed that members of the American Congress should not think that the people of America, by reason of their superior in- telligence, were able 10 compete with the labor of England or any other European country. Mr. Kidney next turned his attention to the question of the volume of currency, and scoffed at the declaration that a large per capita volume of currency im- plied more prosperity than was indicated by a small volume of currency. In illus- tration of the fallacy of this proposition he pointed to Switzerland, with an average per capita of $7, and to France, with five times that quantity; yet prices were the same in both countries, and the standard of civilization was the same. The speaker declared that the law of finance, as established by the history of civilized nations for the past 200 or 300 years, was that when two kinds of money of unequal value are placed in motion for the purpose of exchanging commodities the inferior money always drove the supe- rior out of existence. Mr. Kidney complimented Congressman McCall of Massachusetts for his speech in the Auditorium a few evenings before, and added that he had been acguainted with the Congressman’s father who was a sturdy Irishman and a Democrat. The speaker closed with a scathing arraign- ment of the Democratic party as one which ever appealed to the vicious ele- ments of human nature. z Miss Elia Ellis followed with a comic song, which she sang with much spirit and dramatic action. She was encored | and responded with a campaign song on the ‘‘Popo-Democratic Trivlets.”” C. C. Suiith closed the meeting with g brief speech, in which he called attention to Statistician Mulhall’s statement that during the latter part of President Hyrrj. son’s administration the wealth of the Nation increased at the rate of $2,500,000 every twenty-four hours. —_——— THE PHENIX CLUB. A Meeting Full of Enthusiasm and Melody. The regutar meeting of the Phenix Re- publican Club last Thursday evening in Scottish Hall was fully as well attended and as enthusiastic as any of its prede- cessors. Several ladies with their escorts graced the occasion with their presence. The first business before the meeting was the report of the committee appointed to draft suitable resolutions in memory of the death of C. H. M. Curry, and it reported the following resolutions, which were unanimousiy adopted: To the Officers and Members of the Pheniz Re- ublican Club of San Francisco—GENTLEMEN : Your committee appointed on the evening of August 27, 1896, to draft suitable resolutions to the mémory of our departed member, Charles H. M. Curry, beg leave to submit the following: Resolved, That while it has been the will of the Supreme Ruler of the universe to remove from the ranks of the Phenix Ciub one of its most gevmeu and sterling members; therefore, e it Resolved, That while we cherish affection- ately the memory and the virtues of our de- parted member let us cast the mantle of for- giveness over his frailties and weaknesses; be it furtner Resolved. That never again will his loving smiles be visible, nor his heart beat with joy, nor his eyes beam with intelligence; never again will the joyous weicome oi his voice be heard to gladden our hearts, nor the warm grasp of his hand ever be felt again; never agein will his footsteps be heard marching on in the ranks of the Phenix Club of San Fran- cisco; therefore, be it Resolved, That we extend our heartfelt sym- pathy to the family of our departed member, Charles H. M. Curry, and thal a copy of these resolutions be forwarded to the family of the deceased. JOSEPH GODDARD, P. E. McCaRTY, 5. BABEN, Committee. A communication was received from the Spanish-American Republican League in- viting the club to a meeting of the league next Monday evening at California Hail, 620 Bush street. The invitation was ac- cepted unanimously. The musical exercises intervened and were the most enjoyable part of the enter- tainment next to the speeches. Bert Kingsley, George Hunter and Patrick { Kelly, vocalists of no mean order of merit, delighted the meeting with topical songs and were encored. The gems of the entertainment were La Petite Rose and Birdie Brightley, whose songs, dances and banjo duets threw the audience into a furore. They were en- cored again and again until politics were forgotten. Robert Duckworth of the Spanish-Amer- can Republican League addressed the meeting. He said that that oreanization was composed principally of American citizens of Mexican lineage, who had been forced 1o leave their native country be- cause of the grinding tyranny of the silver mine owners there. Mexico was a silver standard free coinage country, he said, and for that reason every Mexican in the United States was with the Republican party to-day. The speaker quoted from an address by President Diaz in which he deplored the loss arising o the nation by the free coin- age of silyer, because the debt of Mexico was pavable in gold and the duties were payable in silver. Mr. Duckworth read a statement as to the wages paid Mexican mechanics and laborers, as follows: Brick- layers, §30 per week; masons, $10 80 per week; plasierers, $4 25 per week; roofers, $8 40 per week; blacksmiths, $8 per week: printers, $5 76 per week; tinsmiths, $7 50 per week; hod-carriers, $3 per week; laborers, $2 90 per week; teamsters, $3 60 per week. All wages paid in Mexican dollars, _Mr. Duckworth related how, when he lived in Mexico, he had to pay fifty Mexi- can dollars for $25 in gold to send to his motl.er in this City, The example of Mexico was an object lesson for the working people of ‘the United Ststes, and th e ey should profit by The meeting was closed address by Oscar ‘I;‘ou foundryrian. ed with a stirring ewis, a well-known — OVER A HUNDRED YEARS. Centenarian Diamond Will for McKinley and Pro- tection. Among the applications for membership in the Continental League last night was one from G. E.'D. Diamond, s book- canvasser, of 315} Eilis street, who cele- brated the one hundredth i his birthday last May. i Although now in his one hundredth and first year Mr. Diamond is as ‘active as a man of 50, and does not look more than 60. He is an enthusiastic Republican, and says that he has no use for Bryan or for Vote further Democratic experiments with the life of the Nation. The old man was unanimously elected a member of the league last night. i A VOICE FROM TEXAS. One Cause of Hard Times Ex~ plained by a Stu- dent. The following letter was written for THE CaLL by a twenty-onester, who originally intended to cast his first vote for Bryan and Sewall. The letter is the result of bis sober, second thought: DaLLas, Tex., August 23, 1896. Ithink I at last see the financial question from the right standpoint, not that of any par- ticular person, but justice. As you under- stand, it will be useless for me to explain to any extent, but 1 assure you we do not want any depreciated currency or repudiation of debts. We do mot want to take an express wagon with us to carry about a few thousand dollars, or cast dishonor upon ourselves by not returning money as good as we borrowed, therefore, I shall work till election for Mc- Kinley, and also cast my ballot for him. There sre a great many people crying “hard times,” but as long as the world stands, even in the most prosperous times, there will be the same cry, when in reality there is no “hard times.” I will acknowledge there is what you might call a “depression of busi- ness,” but it 1s not &s bad as some calamity howlers try to make us believe. One of the first causes I assign to this is that the people of the United States have overreached them- selves. 3 Having unbounded resources comparatively undeveloped, they borrowed too much capital in proportion to the working population. The products from the above resources became too enormous for our home consumption, the home markets fell, we sought markets else- where, but 1n & great many instances they could—being older and more densely popu- lated countries, in which development had reached its highest pitch, where competition in trade had become closer ana labor had be- come very low—produce like articles as cheap or cheaper tiian we. Hence a drop in our wage scale! The working people were compelled to buy less and become more economical! They were not used to this because it came so sud- denly. Hence their cry “hard times” and the “depression in business.” The interest became due on this borrowed capital. Many had to secrifice their products below cost and finally *“went to the wall,” throwing more laborers out of work altogether, causing further cries and more depression. And to make atfairs still worse, Cleveland's first administration gave us too much iree trade, causing the limited number of fac- tories we had to close down, throwing more laborers out, more cries and more depression. During Harrison’s administration we began to recover very slowly, but very well consider- ing our condition under fair tariff legislation. The interest on borrowed foreign capital being enormous when Cleveland commenced his sec- ond term, & bond issue was forced to get gold to pay it. This caused another howl from the peopie! More distrust of foreign capitall A withdrawal of a great deal of this capitall Less employmeat, more cries, more depression and more distrusi! The silver miners having produced too mueh have taken aavantage of these cries and the ignorance of the masses; have pro- claimed that the only panacea for these ills is free coinage of silver; have hired orators, bought newspapers, hired editors and in every way have been spreading their silver wave until most people have accepted it as the “‘very thing” without & thought and gone ahead. Now our wise and honest statesmen are bat- tling against this wave, and it is beginning to recede, and it will probably drown its origina- tors. Excuse the length and omissions of this arti- cle. Give us McKinley, a tariff favorable to our industries and foreign commerce and sound money. I want a tariff like the above so it will pro- duce plenty of revenue for expenses. If it | i advantage to trade, etc., pile up a balance in the treasury. It can be employed in strengthening our fortifications. opening up the harbors and rivers and building Govern- ment ronds, etc. The main thing 1o make a nation prosperous is to keep the masses at work. “Idleness is the devil’'s woikshop.” This applies to nations as weli as individuals, et GERMAN REPUBLICANS. A Club of Over 500 Is Formed and Spirited Speeches Are Made. A well-attended meeting of the German- American Republican Club was held last night at 413 Bush street, Robert Wieneke presiding. The enrolling committee re- ported that it had made remarkable prog- ress in the matter of increasing the mem- bership of the club. In the limited time that had been allowed them they had without any difficulty secured a member- ship of over 500 and all indications were that this number would be largely multi- plied before the next meeting. The committee further reported that it had placed enrolling iists at a number of places, from which very satisfactory re- sults were anticipated. The report of the committee was adopted. Thereupon the presidentannounced that he had appointed the following-named gentiemen as an executive committee: Oscar Tolle, Dr. F. P. Muffe, G. Siemann, R. Munk, Charles Samuels (editor of the San Francisco Abend Post), L. Pockwitz, G. A. Rutz, H. C. Droeger, Charles W. Mainwaring, Fritz Gerke, Dr. A. E. Bruneand R. Jentsch. Dr. F. P. Muffe, .the president, was authorized to appoint a finance committee of seven. The president asked that he be allowed until the next meeting to name the appointees. Permission was granted accordingly. After the routine business of the organi- zation had been transacted spirited ad- dresses were delivered by D. Klintworth of the San Francisco Abend Post, R. Munk, General Saloman,Dr. B. Paulsen and Dr. Wirth, The speeches were enthusiastically re- ceived by the large gathering and the meeting adjourned to meet at the same place next Friday night at 8 o'clock. el g STRONG FOR McKINLEY. Gratifylng Reports of the Political Tendency In the Northwest. J. P. Parkinson of the Post-Intelli- gencer and -George M. Stewart, treasurer of the State Central Committee of Seattle, are down on a visit from Washington. They are unanimous in the belief that McKinleyism is fast spreading throughout the great Northwest. One hopeful sign is the general organization of business men. The silver wave is subsiding and the iaboring man is beginning to understand how the thing stands. “I think,” said Mr. Parkinson, “that we will carry the State for McKinley in No- vember. The business men are making a quiet campaign over the counter and graduaily all classes are coming in. Ninety-five per cent of the business men of Seattle are in favor of McKinley. ‘‘All the country wants is time. As men think they quickly determine to vote for the man of Ohio, the representative of patriotism, protection and prosperity.’’ PR M’KINLEY DEMONSTRATION Republicans of the Thirty-Sixth District Discuss the Issues. The First McKinley Club of the Thirty- sixth Assembly District turned out in force last evening to listen to an enthusi- astic discussion of campaign issues and whoop 1t up generally for the candidates of peace, protection and prosperity. T club now numbers about 300, and is a thoroughly representative organizstion. It is officered by W. C. Johnson, president; Fred Eiliot, vice-president; William ‘Wright, treasurer; Eaward Banning, sec- retary, and Charles Ellis, sergeant-at-arms. At last evening’s meeting addresses were made by Louis Titus, Robert Ash, Judge G. C. Groezineger, Andrew Brunch and others. The subjects of a protective tariff and sound money were thoroughly ex- rloitau and ably advocated. Mausic wi urnished by the Ingleside Glee Club an the Union League quartet. It was decided to hold weekly mestings -each Tuesdav hereafter until November. On next Tuesday evening several promi- nent speakers will be present, and there will be a grand rally. —_— Thirty-Ninth District. A meeting of Republicans of the Thirty- ninth Assembly District was held Thurs- day night at the new hall, southeast corner of Leavenworth and Geary streets, Presi- dent John Gilson in the chair. Secretary Thomas R. Riding, who is also the secre- tary of the executive committee, reported that Chairman W. J. Herrin of the execu- tive committee had selected the present quarters as the permanent place of meet- m5 for the club. hursday evening was named as the regular meeting night of the club. . On motion the president was author- ized to appoint a finance committee of three, which he did by naming Oscar Tolle, M. M. Barnete and A. Levin. Hutton, W. J. Herrin, M. M. Barnete, Thomas Morton and others made short speeches, all of which were brim fall of patriotism for the Republican party and the stability of the recognized and regular County Committee and its leaders. —_——— The McKinley Zouaves. The McKinley Zouaves held a meeting last night at Washington and Mission streets. Mr. Davey and Mr. Stephens de- livered eloquent speeches, and urged the enthusiastic listeners to stand by the standard-bearers, McKinley and Hobart. The club was also entertained with several political songs rendered by the members. A resolution was presented and adopred amid a burst of applause indorsing the Hon. Thomas Desmond for Superintend- ent of Streets and demanding his nomina- tion by the Republican Municipal Con- vention. STOLE SILENTLY ~ AWAY Sudden Disappearance of a Pretty Seventeen-Year-0ld Girl. Stella Perrault Leaves Her Home and Friends Without a Word of Warning. Miss Stella Perrault, a pretty 17-year-old girl who up to the day before yesterday livea with her mother at 211 Mason street, has disappeared, and her relatives are searching high and low for her with the hope of inducing her to return to her home. ‘Though her sudden leaving was evi- dentiy premeditated, her mother and hali- brother, J. B. Hurd, who is on the police force, had not tne slightest suspicion that she intended flight, and were taken com- pletely by surprise when she failed to re- turn home on the evening mentioned. In- vestigation, however, showed that her de- parture had not been the result of a sud- den impulse, as the best of her wardrobe was gone, and a call at a local bank, where she had kept a balance of $60 to her credit, showed that she had drawn it all out sey- eral days ago. Her jewelry and other trinkets dear to the feminine heart were also missing. Miss Perrault was surrounded by all the comforts that she could desire, and her family are at a loss to account for her de- sertion except on the theory that she has been enticed away by some man with whom she has become infatuated. Since herdisappearance her half brother has been on an almost constant watch for her, but believes that in view of the care- ful preparations she had made that she has left the city and will be found in some country town, unless she concludes to re- turn of her own accord. Descriptions of her will be sent to all interior points and every effort made to bring her back. Neighbors who were acquainted with Miss Perrault attribute her leaving to a tall, blonde young man, with whom she has been seen walking of late, and of whom she seemed to be very fond. She was seen with him near the Perrault home on the evening that herdisapvearance was noticed. Miss Perrault’s father, who was in the liquor business, has been dead for a year and a half, and her mother has been sick for several weeks. Her daughter's departure has almost prostrated Mrs. Per- rault, and she asks constantly for her Miss Perrault was quite an accomplished musician and was well liked by her ac- quaintances.

Mysell Rollins,22 Clay,* STOCKTON WILL WOO AMADOR, Another Railroad Projected, Said to Be Backed by Capital. FIFTY MILES IN LENGTH Some Mystery Maintained as to the Real Supporters of the New Line. CALLED THE SIERRA PACIFIC Preparations Have Been Made and It Appears That Construction May Begin Soon. Another railroad is to run out of Stock- ton. This time it is nota paper railroad to the mines, but a genuine scheme backed by heavy capitalists. Wednesday articles of incorporation of the Sierra Pacific Rail- way Company were filed. The road is to run from Stockton to Jackson, Amador County. It willrun from Stockton in a general easterly and northerly direction and will have branches running to the town of San Andreas and to Campo Seco and to the Plymouth mine in Calaveras County. The main line will be fifty miles in length, the San ‘Andreas branch six miles and the Campo Seco and Plymouth branches each two miles. San Francisco is to be the principal place of business of the company, but the directors are nearly all Stockton men. The articles of incorporation specify that the capital stock on the new Sierra Pacific Railway Company is to be $2,000,000, but as vet only the sum of $60,000 has been subscribed, and by the following named: P. A. Buell of Stockton, $100; W. A. Ship- pee of Avon, Butte County, §100; B. F. Langiord of Acampo, $200; B. W. Moore of Stockton, $14,900; A. Brown Jr. of Stockton, $14,900; D. A. Robertson of Stockton, $14.900, and M. J. Gardner of Stockton, $14,900. The incorporators named are the first directors of the road, but nearly, if not all of them, are merely dummy directors, as one of those interested in the scheme said that the real owners of the stock were large capitalists, whose names be is not at liberty at present to divulge. They have been working on the scheme for several months and have at last per- fected their arrangements and are ready to commence work. There was much conjecture in Stockton at the time the locomotives belonging to Thomas 8. Bullock arrived there, but now there is no secret made by those interested in the Sierra Pacific road that the engines are for use on it, and that the rails brought by Bullock from Arizona will be used in the construction of the mountain railway. 2 The road will probably run into Stock- ton over the tracks of the Valley railwa; Its terminal there will be on the Boggs tract, facing on Mormon Channel, or close by it, and arrangements are now being made with the officials of the Valley rail- way to use its tracks into Stockton. Just where the tracks of the new mountain climber will branch off from the Valley road could not be learned yesterday, as some of those interested said the exact route had not been deciced on. Thisis hardly probable, however, but those in- terested in the road wish to secure their rights of way as quietly asthey have made their other arrangements for the construc- tion of the road. That they mean busi- ness there is little doubt, as those who have given out the information that there are several millionaires back of the scheme are reliable. P. A. Buell and the other incorporators of the road came down from Stockton to hold a meeting for the purpose of organiz- ing the directorate of the road and con- sulting with those who are really behind the scheme. Senator Langford is well known all over the State; George A. Brown Jr. iscon- nected with the Stanislaus and San Joa- quin Water Company; M. J. Gardiner isin the employ of P. A. Buell here and W. A. Robertson is connected with Brown in the office of the canal company mentioned. Shippee is the nephew of the late L. U. BbiEpea and is well known in Stockton. There is much curiosity here as to who the real backers of the scheme are outside of Capitalist Bullock. Buellis to be made the treasurer ot the board of directors, but who the other officers of the company are to be is not known. Gardiner was inter- viewed in ‘Btockton, but would, or could not say anything about the road, he evidently knowing little about it except that he had been made a_dummy director and was going to San Francisco to take part in a meeting, claiming even not to know where the place of meeting was to be. P. A. Buel of Stockton, treasurer of tne newly organized railroad, said: “Its length will be about sixty miles. We have made some reconnoisances of theline and will in a couple of weeks start on a permanent survey. Part of the dis- tance will be through the mountains. The cost will probably be, on the average, from $15,000 to $20,000 a mile, both for the build- ing and equipments, ft will be a stand- broad-gauge road. “The exact route will depend consider- ably on the people, as, of course, we want to get the right of way, We will strike no large towns, however. There will be a good many stations along the route. “‘Our object is to brinfi out the products of the mine and ranch and take in such things as the people want. We are going to reach a good agricultural section. We have found a region that will produce geood sugar beets, and we expect to bring ets out for a factory that we know now is going to be built at Stockton. ‘‘Besides this there are immense quanti- ties of fine timber as well as granite and marble that there will be a market for as 800n as we get it to tide-waterat Stockton. ‘When once it is at Stockton the freight is practically nothing to this City. *“The mining interests now are looking up all through the country our road will go through. The sulphurets that the miners formerly threw away because they thought there was no gold in them are novi found to contain more gold than the rock, *‘We exp-ct to .use the Bullock engines, rails and other equipments which arrived in Stockton recently, and about which there was a good deal of talk in the papers. Nobosy has known what they were for. s ““Work on the line will be started very soon and will be rushed through. We hope to have it completed in about six months. There is not ticle of doubt about the road being built. Not a par- ticle. The money is ail raised now, and the men bekind the road, whose names cannot be made public now, but will in a day or two, are in dead earnest. I can say, too, that the road is nhso,: lutlely independent of any existing road. The mceting which was to have been held Wednesday was postponed for a day or two. “Shut your eyes and breathe deeply and slowly” 'is a Russian savant’s. reci inst seasickness.

A. Howard. The Groom Is Well and Favorably Known in Local Mercantile Circles. The dramatic profession has lost a beau- tiful and talented young aspirant for his- trionic renown, while a prominent busi- ness man of this City has gained a win- some bride. Miss Daisy Belle Sharpe, daughter of Colonel Craigie Sharpe of Oakland, whose keen interest in the Midwinter Fair, Oak- land Exposition and other large enter- prises has made his name familiar the whole State over, is now engaged to be married, and the lucky man is E. A. How- ard of Howard & Co., the BSpear-street hardwood importers. Both the lady and gentleman are well known on both sides of the bay and are highly esteemed. Miss Sharpe is a very accomplished young woman, and has al- ready gained an excellent reputation asan amateur in the theatrical protession. Judges of dramatic ability declare that she bas unusual gifts in this direction. ‘When Augustin Daly saw Miss Sharpe act he gave testimony of his admiration and appreciation by atonce offering her a position in his OWu company to support a Reban. A%o flattering and so liberal was the offer that the budding actress decided to accept it, and if nothing bad interfered she would shortly have gone East and begun her work there. g Since completing her dramatic studies the young lady has resided at her father's home, 1934 Filbert street, Oakland. With the full approval of her fiance she has decided to give up the stage, and accord- ingly the engagement entered into with Manager Daly has been canceled. Just when the marriage will take place is a mooted question, but from all accounts it will occur at no very distant date. Lately the young lady has handled a very facile quill for locai pubiications, anda even though she intends to relinquish the idea of going on the stage there will be no necessily of her severing all connection between herself and the profession in which she has manifested so much talent. Colonel Craigie Sharpe stated at his resi- dence last evening that the report is en- tirely true that his daughter has canceled her engagement with Daly and will wed E. A. Howard. e e LABOR DAY PROGRAMME. The San Francisco Council of Labor Has Concluded Its Arrangements.

Flood, the ex-cashier of the Donohoe & Kelly Banking Company, yesterday moved in the Superior Court that the charges pending against his client be dis- missed. Flood is now in the penitentiary serving a seven-year sentence for falsi- fying the bank records. . It is said that if Cook succeeds in hav- ing the pending charges dismissed an ef- fort will be made to have Flood pardoned. It is desired, however, to have them ais- })osad_ of before any effort to secure his re- ease is made. The officials of the Donohoe-Kelly Bank are reported to be satisfied with the pun- ishment already undergone by Fiood, particularly as he has made what restitu- tion he could. : The police were notified yesterday of the disappearance of W. Voorsanger, son of S. Voorsanger, 1925 Ellis street. He left home on August 29, taking with him a change of clothing ana a sketch-book.
