They Passed Their Last Day cn Earth Writing Fare- well Letters. “PLEASE EURY US TOGETHER. H: Closed His Literary Efforts With Quotations From Gloomy Verse. Last evening, about 6 o’clock, Salvador Romero and Mrs. Rena Garcia, residents of Redwood City, were found dead in each other’s arms in room 6 of the Alpha lodging-house, on the corner of Mar- ket and East streets. They had commit- ted suicide by shooting, after leaving several letters written in a despairing sen- timental strain stating their inten tion to kill themselve: The couple came to the place at 5 o’clock Saturday evening and tock a room. They. did not register nor tell their names, and Mrs. Lufkins, the landlady, states thatthe man and woman did not give any infor- mation regarding themselves, except that they were short of money, but expected | to get some. The woman appeared to be about 25 years old and the man several years younger. In his pocket, after death, was found a nickel, and in her’s a tiny, loaded, barrel- less revolver of a peculiar pattern. She was clothed in a white muslin dress, a brown coat and white straw hat, and he in a dark coat and vest and light-biue trousers. They remained in their rrom Saturday night and most all day yesterday. About 6 o’clock last evening Joseph Luf- kins, the landlord, knocked at their door and, receiving no answer, entered the room through a window facing on East street. Their silence was at once explained. The pair lay partially on a sofaand a chair, locked in each other’s arms, lifeless. On the floor near them was a small re- volyer, and a bullethole in the breast ot each told of its fatal work. The two gaping wounds were directly over the hearts of the man and woman, showing that the shots were fired by a hand that never faitered. He must bave shot her as she sat on the chair by the side of the small sofa on which he was reclin- ing, and as she sank over against him he drove the second builet into his own heart. And they died there without a struggle—a double death well planned and well exe- cuted. While the day sped by bringing the night that would know no morning they wrote. Both were Spanish, and sentiment, mingled with despair, marked the pages they penciled. The first note was 1o the Corgner, *‘We have just a few more mo- ments to waste, the times flies away,” it said. ‘“Please bury us together. Oh, if we could kneel at your side and beg you better than in this letter. Farewell.” S. Romero and Rena Garcia.” Then the woman Rena Garcia took the pencil and a sheet of note paperand wrote to her brother and sister. 8he spoke of “Pellie,” who would have something dis- creditable to say about her, and ended: *I am ired of this world; good night.’’ Then the young man wrote to his mother. It was a pathetic farewell: 111 could hear again your voice how happier wouldIdie. * * * but I shall be dead and gone. * * * I Jove you till the last. You would never have lost me if you had only thought what you said before. *" * * A gweet farewell to you and sisters. * * * Takin, this revolver in my hand we bid you (lrewelfi * > * Bury us together, we wish to keep together * * * Good-night. forever. Your son, S. ROMERO. Then she took the pencil again and wrote to her husband, teiling him she could not live any longer and must die: Iam tiredo f this life and such people. Iam not feeling the least welland you know it your- self. = * * You came in like a wild beast scoldingme., * * * So wemustpart. * * * Your family does not like me, o I think you are better off. Your true wife, RENA R. GARCIA. The writer dropped the pencil for all time and her companion laid his weapon aside to add the quotations beginning: Tread sofily, bow the head, In solemn stience bow; No bell doth toll, Yet an immortai soul Is passing now. Then he wrote, “One more kisslet me press on those lips that never deceived me 4* * for they will be cold and silent now.”’ So the lines ran on till the close, then he shot her, then himself and the Morgue wagon carried them away.

JORDAN'S WORK I\ BERING SEA Commission Collecting In- valuable Data About Seals. RETURN OF THE HOMER Garfield’s Son-in-Law Says Seal- ing Business Is “Piayed Out.” BROUGHT BACK 30,000 ¢KINS, Six Seizures Made—Jordan to Start Home in Two Weeks—Others 02 ths Way. The latest news of the Bering Sea Com- mission under Professor David Starr Jor- dan reached here yesterday when the steamer Homer arrived, nine and a half days from Unpalaska with J. Stanley Brown, superintendent of the North American Commercial Company, and C. H. Townsend of the United Siates Fish Commission aboard. Mr. Brown is a son-in-law of ex-Presi- dent James A. Garfield, and was his sec- retary at the White House up to the time of the assassination. He passed through this City May 22 on his way to the Priby- lof Islands. “The Homer,"” said he yesterday at the Occidental, “brought from the Bering Sea a cargo of 30,000 sealskins, being the quota allotted by the Government to the Norih American Commercial Company during ths past season. “The catch of the sealing fleet this sea- son proves to be light. It is doubtful if it will average 400 skins a vessel, or a total of less than 30,000 skins, Sealers re- Dort seals scarcer than ever before, and there is no pretense made that the small catches have been due to inclement weather. As the sealers put it, ‘the busi- ness is played out.’ “The Bering Sea mixed commission of Americans, British and Canadians, under Dr. David Starr Jordan, president of Stan- ford University, arrived at St. George Island, one of the Pribylot group, on July 6, and two days later came to St. Paul Island, where are located our company’s headquarters. “That commission is the finest body ot men that could have been got together for such scientific investigation, with the great commercial and international ques- tions attachea to it. Thare is Professor Jordan, the authority on fishes and a scientist of world-wide reputation, He is the only United States Commissioner, but he is being assisted by such men as Dr. Stejnegar of the National Museum at Washin:ton, who has no superior in the field of natural history either in thig'coun- try or in Europe; Dr. Lucas, who has for years occupied the position_of curator of mammals in tbe National Museum, and is unsurpassed as an_authority on com- Blrg:xve onteolog{l; C. H. Townsend of the nited States Fish Commission, who has devoted years to familiarizing himself with the methods of pelagic seal- ing; Colonel Joseph Murray, who has been Government Agent on theseal islands for six years and was detailed by Secre- tary Hamlin to assist the commission, and Captain Moser of the Fish Commission steamer Albatross, another experienced man. The British,Commissioners are Pro- fessor Thompson of Dundee University, Scotland, and Barrett Hamulton, barris- ter of London, while the Canadian inter- estsare being looked after by Mr. Macoun, a botanist of the Canadian Geological Sur- vey. “The commission wilf not cease its in- vestigations until about the middle of this month or the 1st of October, when the desd pups resulting from the shooting of mothers at sea wil! have been counted. “‘About the middle of August Dr. Jor- dan, accompanied by Pr fessor Thomp- son, also siarted for the Commander Islands on the British warship Satellite, leaving Dr. Lucas ana Secretary Clarke on the Pribylof Islands to continue work there. “‘Dr. Jordan has probably returned to Pribylof by this date. He will start for home about the 20th of this month, but will leave some of the party to complete the work. “The Albatross should arrive here this | month by way of Honolulu, Sue was to vigit the Commander Islands, off the coast of Kamchatka, Robin Reef, in the Okhotsk Sea, and the Kurile Islands, near Japan, upon which seven or eight rookeries are known to have existed. “All the members of the commission were in the best of health.” Mr. Townsend, when seen at the Palace Hotel, said: “Dr. Jordan asked me to say to any newspaper man that he knows of no other cause s0 potent in the destruction or a great seal herd as pelagic, or ocean, seal- ing. ‘g'The Bering Sea was thrown open in 1894 and thirty-eight _vessels entered and got 31,000 skins. In 1895 fifty-seven vessels went in and took over 40,000 skins. This year ihere are seventy vessels in Bering Sea, but they will not get more than 30,000 seals. They are bound to make a light catch simply because thereare not seals enough. The catch of the thirty- three vessels boarded between August 19 and 24, amounted to 5900skins, and t .at is for about half the fleet at very nearly the middle of the season. “The rookeries look bad, and pups are already beginning to die because their mothers have been killed while ontside the sixty-mile limit hunting fish and pre- paring to return to.the rookeries to suckle the pups for four or five days before going out again. The average catch for each ves- sel is yearly decreasing. This year it will be 200 skins a vessel smailer than in 1895, There was a light catch this season on tuhe Japan coast. It amounted probably to 23,000 skins, I do not think any more profitable catches will be made off that coast, “The Pribylof group of islands north of the Alaskan archipelago is the great breeding-ground for the American herd of seal; the Commander group of islands, near Kamchatka, on the Asiatic side is the breeding-ground for the seal herd of that coast. The sesls from both these great rookeries migrate southward in summer without mingling and spread over great areas of ocean. The Asiatic herd gets as far south as Yokohama, the American herd as far south as Santa Barbara. Russia’s thirty-milelimit and America’s sixty-mile limit about the rookeriesare in- effectual in preventing the exiermination of the seals. The United States could for- bid any of its vessels to engage in pelagic sealing, but Canada might persist in claiming rights in the open sea. 1f Canada has rights it would pay our Government to buy them. “The North American Commercial Com- pany, which has the privilege of taking 30,000 seals on the Pribylof Islands, pays the Government $10 for each skin ana gets about $20 for it. The Pribylof skins taken from superfluous young males of a com- mon age are of uniform fineness of fur and are highly pnized, while the males, femaies and young taken at sea vary much and bring only halt the price.” FOREPAUGH’S CIRCUS. The Combined Shows Seem to Be the Amusement Magnet of the Day. The Forepaugh-Sells circus seems to be the amusement magnet of the day. The attendance has increased regularly since the opening night and will probably con. tinue so until the conclusion of theen- gacement on Saturday night next. The:e secems to be no gainsaying the fact that it is the biggest aggregation of the kind that has ever pitched canvas in San Francisco. The performances thus far_have given the greatest satisfuction, and Central Park will more than likeiy be the Mecca for the amusement devotees during the coming week. The arenic per- formances surpass anytbing of the kind ever seen on the coast, and the zoological department has proven a source of much interest, The collecticn of animals 'neath the big canvas will find few if any coun- terparts in the zoological gardens of the world, and in itself 18 & source of educa- tion and edification. The performances in the amphitheater proper bristles with novelties, an effort evidently having been made to cast adrift from the stereotyped features of circuses of the past. The trained animal per- formances—the elephants and the seals— have become subjects of conversation throughout the City. In these two exhi- bitions the acme of perfection in animal training seems surely to have been reached. The hippodromatic events furnish an ex- citing conclusion to two hours of the rarest enjoyment that the people of Sun Fran- cisco bave ever had under a circus canvas, Two performances will be given daily during the remainder of the. week.

AN EXCITING SABBATH Wild Effort to Snatch the Conven- tion Frcm Rainey’s Grasp by a Great Coup. FOUR “ANARCHISTS” WANTED Ant-Raineyites Wili Appoint a Small Convention or Bolt and Be Fierce Noan-Partisans. Another fierce and great revolution is imminent in that remarkable political or- ganization which comprises the Junta fac- tion of the local Democracy. Since Sam Rainey’s control of the com- ing municipai convention was made evi- dent the other night the McNab-Sullivan- Popver-Braunhart minority have been pale and excited. It took the MeNab end a day or two to recover presence of mind, but now a frantic and herculean effort to save the convention from Rainey and Lanigan is on. Yesterday McNab, Braunbart, Popper, Hassett, Sullivan and a few other active McNabers devoted the Sabbath to plan- ning and working a great coup by which this salvation might be gained. These noble poiiticians flew about town until long afier Sam Rainey and Ed Lanigan went peacefully to bed. There was a caucus at the residence of Chairman ‘W. P. Sullivan, consultations on street corners and in back rooms, and the speed- ing of messengers hither and thither. An emergency generally brings forth a man for the hour, and this emergency has vielded its man. It’s Max Popper. He bugled ‘*‘boots and saddles” to him- self on Saturday and dashel into the danger. Max ‘‘has came” to the front again. He is a politi- cal leader once more. When he woke up the other day and realized that that Sam Ruiney was boss of his political home he jerked off his coat and swore that the boss he despises even worse than he does Buck- ley should not rule again in Democracy. Bo Popuer is right at the front of this saving ffort stirriag his boots and work- ing like & beaver in the interest of the little dash of ‘“decency” there is in the Junta outfit. This saving coup is a brilliant one. The plan is that the campaign committee shall rescind its order of last week, making the convention consist of the 45) members NEW TO-DAY. R M T e Money Back Giving money back seems quite a virtue. We've given money back, if wanted, for 30 years and considered it only good busi- ness sense. Maybe we've been better than we knew of. Money back protects the buyer, protects honest goods —altogether it's a good thing. Your money back if our furniture isn’t right. - CaLtForntA FURNITURE COMPANY N, P. CoLE & Co.) 7 Geary Street. . of the general committee and 150 at large to be appointed pro rata by the members of the campaign committee. It has been figured out to a certainty that Rainey and- Lanizan together can have their own way with such a convention. Having rescinded this ord-r the plan is to adopt a resolution providing that the campaign committee shall appoint out. right a campaign convention of 300 mem- bers or less, 1TLis would shut ont the reneral com- mittee in which Rainey and Lanigan con- trol & majority, and a majority of the campaign committee of twenty, if it could hang together on 2 programme, could do as it pleased with its own convention. Then Gavin McNab’s programme might siide aionz with some slight approach to the smoocthness with which Buckley's pro- gramme goes at £'nai B'rith Hall, But the trouble with this coup and the contingency on which 1ts success depends is the getting of fourteen votes for it in the campaign committee. The campaign committee is to meet to-night to appoint the 150 delegates at large, dnd some votes for this revolutionary *‘cinch” programme must be gained before nightfsil. That meeting to-night is likely to be mighty interesting, The *McNab” faction in the campaign committes comprises nine votes—Gavin McNab, W. P. Sullivan, George T. Marye, A. A. Watkins, Peter Quinn, Samuel Braunhart, M. C. Hassett, James Butler, Timothy Donovan. Captain Fitzpatrick, representing the Thirtieth District, was bought a few weeks ago with a job in the Mint, and as his vote belongs to Daggett he has been counted with the Rainey vote. At the last meeting of the campaign committee, however, be surprised every- body by voting for McNab's programme. Should he do so to-night it will give Mc- Nab ten votes. Besiaes Fitzpatrick Rainey has but one vote in the campaign committee, that of Joseph P. Hayes of Eddie Greany’sdis- trict. Lanigan bhas one vote—John\N. Menh. J. J. Harvey, the post warden, has nover been counted with the Rainey- ices, but he has no use for McNab, and the other night he denounced McNabin the committee meeting and presented the Rainey programme. The six left are the “anarchists.” They are Secretary McGovern, M. Tierney, George A. Love. John O’Donnell, R. L. Mann, and Dr. W. J. Gavigan. These have revolted against McNab, formed a solid compact and taken an independent posi- tion between the Rainey and McNab factions. By holding together they can dictate terms, as without them the four- teen votes necessary to pass a_convention measure cannot be obtained. The McNab- Popper faction wiil have to buy up those of the anarchists with bigger concessions of convention power than Rainey will give to accomplish that coup. Quotations on anarchists will be high to-day. Popper is an old hand at convention and campaign management, and McNab's great ‘‘hold” is combinations, but then Sam Rainey was born beforelast Tuesday. The Rainey people laughed yesterday at Popper’s entry into the fray and they feared him not. “Max 1s a lobster,”” said one of the Rainey lieutenants, who knew racetrack slang. 1f the McNab minority does not suc- ceed by 1ts usual *‘cinch” methods in nam- ing outright a convention of its own and Rainey and Lanigan are able to hold in operation the present plan there will be a NEW TO-DAY. The world was good enough when everybody thought it flat; but now it is round, and don't they come flocking over here !l So will you, when you find that the tea you are drinking is colored and stale, and that Sckéling's Best is good and fresh—so will you flock over to Sc/zl- ling's Best and “use no other” as they say in testi- monials.
