PIONEERS T0 CELEBRATE, Grand Picnic at El Campo for Forty-Niners and Their Families. Literary Exercises—Hon. Samuel M. Shortridge Will Be the Orator of the Day. The forty-sixth anniversary of the ad- mittance of California into the Union will be celebrated by the Society of California | Pioneers to-day by an excursion to El Campo. Every thing has been prepared with the idea in view of catering to the comfort of the excursionists, The committee on arrangementsfhas se- cured the steamer Ukiah to convey the pioneers and their families to the popular picnic grounds and return. Both the steamer and grounds have been engaged for the exclusive use of the picnickers. The steamer will start from the Tiburon ferry, at the foot of Clay street, at 9:30 A. M. sharp, and the first return trip will be made at 3 o’clock P. a., the second and last at 5 o’clock.

The ticket register was closed at noon Monday last. - Although a liberal allowance has been made in the past to provide a suitable col- | P lation for the members it has not been a success, and therefore the picnickers have decided to take their own lunches.

Cruse, R. Van- dercook, C. M. Plum, C. J. King, Peer | Tiffany and John F. Pinkbam. MOSES ON MONEY. The Berkeley University Professor Ex- plains Why We Want a Gold Standard. A meeting of the Political Economy Club was held last night at 15 South Park, the address of the evening being delivered by Professor Bernard Moses of the Uni- verity of California. His subject was “In- ternational Exchanges and Money.” Professor Moses devoted himself to an explanation of fundamental facts respect- ing money, quoting with approval the definition, *‘Money is that which does money’s work,” and explaining that the work of money is to effect exchanges. He said: “We want money in trade because of the difficulty of finding some one who is willing to exchange the thing we want for that we have. In an ideal money we want divisibility, portability, sameness of texture in all its parts, and cheapness of keeping. We also want stability of value with flexibility of supply. This is one reason that fiat momney is impracticable. The supply does not vary with the needs of the people. “We also want & medium of exchange that will be accepted by other nations, so that when one supply becomes greater than our needs it wiil easily drain away from us, and vice versa.” At the conclusion of Professor Moses’ address a running debate followed be- tween E. F. Adams, John McNaught, V. L. O'Brien and J. Munsell Chase, 1n which Professor Moses took part. Next Tues- day evening the club will further discuss the subject of Professor Moses’ address. T BE «MINE HOST" AGAIN Norman, Long Known to Bohe- mians, Will Greet the Public To-Day. An Attractive and Airy Cafe Under the Baldwin, With Famous Brands of Beer. ‘With the anniversary of the admission of the State, the new cafe under the Bald- win Hotel will be thrown open this after- noon and evening to tne public for gene- ral inspection, and to-morrow it will begin business. Otto Norman, who for so many years conducted on Bush street what was fami- liarly styled ‘“the home of Bohemians,” and who has been in the catering business in San Francisco for the last seventeen years, is behind the enterprise in a part- nership to be known as Norman & Iverson. It is a pretty place, this new resort, and something of a revelation in the con- venience of its appointments, There is a sweeping double stairway of white marble leading down from the cor- ner of Market and Poweil streets, to the main ‘entrance, which s flanked by the fresh dark green of choice tropical foliage and small decorative palms boldly set off by the panels of beautifully colored costly marble behind them. Then on Poweil street, immediately opposite the Columbia Theater, there 1s a similar entrance for ladies, with a screened interior vassage- way leading to the private rooms, which are arranged along the entire length of the Market-street side, immediately below the sidewalk. These rooms are private withont the objection of being so, for they have no doors but all open their whole width to the pretty ballway from which they are separated only by loosely draped soit toned portieres that blend with the pre- vailing tints of the walls and the mosaic floors.” Lighted from above by translucent glass and from within by the brilliant glow of several incandescent electric globes, each of these rooms is in itself a dainty retreat, apparently eniarged by mirrors arranged for that effect along the three walls. On the other side of this hallway, and separated by a wall with openings here and there for pots of delicate paims, is the great dining-room, larger, with only one exception, than that of any other cafe on the coast. It too is finished in the same way as the smaller rooms, mirrors and electric ights not excepted. But the most novel and at the eame time the most unnoticeable innovation is the ventilating apparatus, by which the air of the whole place can be changed completely every fifteen minutes, to avoid entirely the dis- agreeable effects of accumulated smoke and heated air. It was Norman who years ago first intro- duced Eastern beer into this City. For the new place he has secured the exclusive agency for another Eastern beer, the Iro- quois, made in Buffalo, and now having the biggest call of any beer in New York City. Another drink entirely new to this City will be thatot the celebrated Citizens’ Brew House of Pilsen, Austria, the beer so long imitated by American manufacturers and that by which the town of Pilsen be- came known to the world. In addition to having the agency for this celebrated European beverage the new cafe will carry all the leading brands of Bavaria beer., A specialty will alsa be made of the cold- lunch counter that was such zn attractive feature 1n Norman’s old place, for here it is to be duplicated and improved upon. ——————— COURSING AT INGLESIDE.

CHINESE BOYS’ WONDER How the “Palace of Illusions” Affected One Youthful Philosopher. STOCKTON’S POTTERY EXHIBIT. Great Preparations in Progress for Weighing the Babies Con. testing To-Day. Yesterday wus the school children’s op- portunity to make themselves felt out at the Mechanics’ Fair, and they did things to a brown turn. Represented were the Agassiz Primary, the Broadway Grammar, the Clement Grammar and the Chinese Primary. Those children simply took the place by storm, and resiraining them was out of the question. As the little tots and the more demure grammar-school children passed from one exhibit to another child- ish ejaculations of wonder and delight were mingled with the sager comments of the more advanced pupils. Through the throng passed tbe youthful citizens of the Chinese quarter, their vari-colored gar- ments giving the scene the appearance of a human kaleidoscope. But the little Chinese did no talking; they just gazed and gazed until their eves stuck out like pigeons’ eggs with wonder, saying never a word. In the *‘Palace of lllusions’ the pre- cocity of Young America was excellently exemplified. As the curtain was drawn back showing the ‘‘half lady” and the lovely yision from the moon, a littie fel- low 11 black drew_his eyebrows close to- gether in puzzied contemplation of the scene, and failing to understand how the tricks were worked, piped out: *“Huh! Dat’s a reglar fake, dat 13; no woman would live after a buzz saw’d passed troo her waist.” The whole bevy took up the cry and it took several men to bring peace back. The pottery exhibit from Stockton has just arrived and is now being arranged. All of it i3 made in Stockton. So closely does it approach the Japanese in finish that & Jap who viewed it yesterday said it would have fooled him 1f he had not been assured where 1t was made. A section of the south wall of the Pa- vilion upstairs has been reserved for maps | and charts of the oil regions of the State made by the State Mining Bureau. ‘'he manager of the art department is especially well pleased with the exhibit this year. Nearly all the works on exhi- bition are by local artists. Three of the most excellent paintings were Joaned by Mrs. Tiburcio Parrott. The only etching to be seen is the work of a San Jose artist and represents a scene in the city of Cork. Judges of etching think it may be com- pared favorably with Moran’s work. All the public school children of the City have been sent season tickets, so as to derive all the educational advantages incident to a study of the various exhibits. Director Healy is especially pleased with the interest manifested by the children of the grammar and high schools, and states that everybody is kept busy answering the queries of the embryonic voters, Considerable amusement was created yesterday by the receipt of the following letter from a Jady in Windsor, whose name for obvious reasons is withheld: Pre sident E. A. Denicke—DEAR Sir: I have in my possession a petrified kidney, perfect in color and veining. It is recognized at a glance as genuine without the assurance of the several physicians who haye examined it. Iam very anxious to dispose of it for its value, and write to learn if I could have it placed on exhibiiion at the Mechanics’ Fair, for sale. Last night was Chinese night, and the Chinese Royal band made night hideous at the fair. The judges in _the baby show to-day will be George T. Bromley, E. A. Otto and Mr. Sells. The weighing will be super- vised by Directors Root, Presson, Cole and Formbhals. in the evening the Native Sons and Daughters will hold forth. Merton C. Allen will deliver an address for the Na- tive Sons and Miss Mariana Bertola for the Daughters. The prize poem on Ad- mission day for which a $25 prize was offered will be read.

Renling of Nicaragua for Surgical Treatment. He Bravely Won the Battle of La Paz, but Himself Was Wounded at the Close. General G. Renling of Nicaragua, who commanded the Government forces for President Jose Santos Zelaya at the bloody battle of La Paza few months ago, and who was seriously wounded at the time, arrived here on the steamer Newport last night, in order to put himself under a sur- =eon’s care. He was shot in the left thigh by a ball from a French La Belle rifle. It destroyed the sciatic nerve and his leg has shrunk to half its natural size. “General Francisco Baca commanded 1800 troops against me,” said Genersl Ren- ling, *‘while { had but about 1300. But I took the town and justas I had ordered the troofl to take possession. of the wenches Ireceived this ball which laid me out. A good many on both sides were killed during the engagement. “‘La Paz is a little town on the railroad between Momo Fumbo and Leon. Baca bad formerly attempted to seize the Gov- ernment boat and also the passenger ves- sel on Lake Nicaragua. “I am a native of Holland and_ was formerly a Government engineer in Nicar- agua. baca, who fomented the revolu- tion, bad no cause for it. President Zelaya is a firm, auccessful ruler, who is very kind to foreigners.” Renling is a handsome-looking man of 40 years. He wears the tasty uniform of the Nicaraguan general. His leg is swathed in bandages, and he gets about by aid of crutches ana with difficulty. He is at the Occidental.® CHRISTIAN ATHLETES. The Young Men’s Association to Hold a Field Day at the Olympic Grounds To-Day. The Main Young Men’s Christian Asso- ciation athletes issued a short time ago a chalienge for a field day contest to the Mission Branch Young Men’s Christian Association’s athletes, which they did not accept. At the last meeting of the Mamn Association’s athietes it was decided to hold a handicap field-day contest between themselves. The handicap field-day contest will be held at the Olympic Athletic Club’s grounds to-day at 2 p. M. The main object of the field day is to make preparations for the grana Young Men’s Christian Asssociation State pentathlon contest which is to be held next mouth in this City. The events in the State pen- tathlon contest are the following: 100- yard dash, one-mile run, running high jump, pole vault and 12 pound hammer throw. The events for the handicap field day contest to-day will comprise the follow- ing: 100 yaras, 220 yards, 440 yards, 880 yards, one-mile run, one-miie walk, running high jump, running broad jaimp, pole vault, 12-pound shot put and 12-pound hammer throw. The sprinters of the main association are Titus, Wilson, Guittard, Peterson, Leiiach, Wolfsohn, McDougall, Harder, Rogers, Beckert. Tne distance runners are Manning, Klarrmann, Ziska, Peterson, Johnson, Carle, Webster, Shaw, Spacher and Jennings. The high jumpers are Mc- Dougall, Leilach, Schroder, Euler,Fliesher, Spacher, Klarrmann and Wiison. The broad jumpers are Wilson, McDougall, Guittard. Fliesher, Leilach, Titus and Ziska.

Klarrmann, Manning and Peterson are running in good form, and ought to put up a guod race in the dis- tances. Ziska is the ‘‘dark horse” in the distance runs. McDougall, a new jumper, is in very good form. Leilach is in good condition, and will undoubtedly break the mile record for the walk. INCOMPATIBLT, MADA The Reason Assigned by Dewitt Dudley for Forsaking His Wife. A Cool Letter Written While He Was on His Way East Neaver to Return. The suit for divorce of Martha Dudley against Dewitt C. Dudley was heard yes- terday in the Superior Court and was taken under consideration, there being a technical question as to whether the de- fendant had been legally served with no- tice. The plaintiff is a rather comely young woman. The complaint is cruelty and de- sertion. The following rather cool letter was introduced as part of the evidence. It was written when the defendant was on his way East. He is now supposed to be in New York: NEVADA CITY, Cal., June 20, 1894. Mrs. Dudley: 1 presume, madam, you ‘wonder at my not writing. The reason is we did too much writing in years gone by. For some time I have realized that we both made 2 mistake in not ending our communication before it had come toa serious end. Life in- deed is full of mistakes and my worst mistake was when I married you, knowing as I did an impediment existed 1o our ever being able to live happily together, and ever since I have been cursing myself for my weakness in not withdrawing from a compect that boded no good to either of us. Incompatibility, madam, incompatibility, and you perhaps have not noticed its existence, but I have. Asin a pe- cuniary outlook the marriage was of no bene- fit to you I do not think it advisable to make unz persons live in a regular turmoil of aggra- vation, It is not my intention to sgain return to | California. You may do as you wish. Get & divorce if you can find grounds and marry again. 1 do not care. Marriage is looked upon as a failure, anybow. One thing, pray spare me those maledictions you can so easily bestow. Idon’t want any of them; they are useless, and I never pay any attention to them besides. You need not_bojher writing to me. Iconsider it best, end I don’t want to hear from you, and if you should be so foolish as to write I shall either destroy the letter un- opened or return it without reading. * * * Hoping you can see the advisability of the foregoing and not make 1diotic attempts to annoy me, I remain, madam, yours in fare- well, .

I didn't have it, and told her so. She went to another store near by. The grocer sold her some of his own tea— not in a package—and said it was Schilling’'s Best. “Of course, I don’t want to sell Schilling's Best— there is more money in my own tea but, whatever I do, I do it on the square.” Glad to know you sir! An honest enemy makes a first-class friend. You will be with us some day selling people good tea. It’s a lot better for business than big profits. o i OUT OF THE INDIAN EOUNTRY G. F. Schumacher’s Exper- iences North of the Upper Columbia. HE FOUND SOME GOLD. An Undulating Region Covered With Bunch Grass and Dot- ted With Pine Trees, WILD GAME VERY PLENTIFUL Herds ot Deer, Many Black and Cin- namon Bear and Grouse and Waterfowl by Thousands. Among the arrivals at the Commercial Hotel is E. F. Schumacher, who for sey- eral months past has been prospecting for gold in the new country north of the Col- umbia River, next to British Columbia. This country has long been known as the Colviile Indian reservation. It isonlya short time since it was thrown open to settlement. Mr. Schumacher prospected some of the country lying between Kettle Falls and Bonaparte Mountain, a distance of about twenty-five miles from the British line. He has had a long experience in mining in different parts of the country, and is therefore an unusually good judge of a mining section. I found a beautifal, undulating coun- try,” he said, “‘dotted with pine and fir trees in many places, so as to makeit look like a great National park. A heavy grass covered the hills, too. It was mostly bunch grass, so that the country may be called exceptionally good for stock. There is an abundance of clear running water. The country is a little too high for agri- culture, however, except in the case of a few little valleys. These valleys have all been taken by early French settlers, who were formerly members of the Hudson Bay Company, and who have married In- dian squaws and settled down there. ““Therefore, so far as throwing open the reservation is concerned it amounts to lit~ tle. The Government opened it over a year ago, bnt few agricultural locations have been made. ‘‘A great many went in and began to prospect, however. As yet it may be said there are no mines discovered. But there are a good many good prospects. The formation is the same asat Rossland, B. C., where the Le Roy mine has been opened up, and which is said now to be worth several millions, *The ore isfound ata shallow depth, and runs pretty well in _gold, with a trace of copper and some silver. It is a cool place even in summer time. One night in June the ice froze a quarter of an inch thick. *'It is a great country for wild game. I never saw & region where deer were so pleatiful. They literally swarmed over the hills. It was no trouble for the miners to get all the meat they wanted. Bear were plentiful too. They were of the black and cinnamon kind. Grouse were to be seen everywhere. If you went to a miner’s camp you always saw the feathers lying about. ‘It wasn’t quite far enough north for moose and cariboo, but a few miles away they were quite plentiful. As for water- fowl of sll " kinds they could be had in abundance. *“Travel is active in connection with the Trail Creek and Slocan mines. Coming down from Kettle Falls the two cars of the Spokane and Northern train were crowded. Spokane itself is very lively. It seemed to have a real boom on. The streets were pretty well thronged.” * They Have Withdrawn, Eecretary Andrew Furuseth of the Seamen’s Union in his address at Metropolitan Temple B b e NEW TO-DAY—-AMUSEMENTS. s S e Tt > St CENTRAL PARK.

Many so-called remedies are pmsse({on the public attention on account of their claimed large sales. But sales cannot determine values. Salessimply argue good salesmen, shrewd puffery, or enormous advertis- ing. Ti's cures that count. It is cures that are counted on by Ayer’s Sarsaparilla. Its sales might be boasted. It has the world for its market. But sales prove nothing. We point only to the record of Ayer’s Sarsgparilla, as proof of its merit: 50 YEARS OF CURES. on the 7th inst. remarked: “Moiding shops are idle, while such eminent and loyal mem- bers of the Home Manufacturers’ Association as 'Holbrook, Merrill & Stetson are selling Oregon vrison-made stoves.” The association wishes it known that Holbrook, Merrill & Stet- son withdrew from the organization last April. WOULD NOT SIGN. Agnew and Kelly Will Not Fight Be- fore the Armory Clab. The Armory Club met with disappoint- ment last evening when the committes on boxing made overtures to Agnew and ‘‘Spider” Kelly to sign articles of agree- ment to box ten rounds on the evening of the club’s entertainment. Agnew, who fights at 133 pounds, said that be would agree to meet Kelly at 135 pounds, but the latter insisted that Agnew should weigh in at 136 pounas, and on this score the fighters disagreed and the match was declared off. The committee signed Australian Billy Smith last night to fight some heayy- weight who will be selected to-day. Pos- sibly Stelzner or Peppers may be matched against Smith. Joe McAuliffe is out of the question, as he is a back number. NEW TO-LAY—AMUSEMENTS. THE CHUTES, CASINO And Greatest Scenic Rail way on Earth ! Open Daily from 1 to 11 P, 5. TO-DAY I——TO-DAY!
