THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 21, 1896. 5 DEMOCRATS ARE MUCH DEJECTED Bad Reports From All Parts of the State and Nation. SENATOR WHITE BLUE. Bourbons Unhappy Because Cator ard Baker Are Conducting Their Campaign. CANNOT GET ANY SPEAKERS. Their Eastern Orators Are for McKin- ley and They See the Tide Turning Here. Yesterday was a busy day among the many factions of local politicians, and a day of sad reflections to a number of Democrats who have been hopeful of sweeping everything west of the original thirteen colonies for Bryan and free silver. Senator Stephen M. White, who spoke at Oakland Saturday night and who con- ferred with a number of Iroguois braves during his sojourn, is not so hopeful over the outlook as he was. His aistrust and forebadings apply not only to the result in the State, but to the general result for Bryan as well. *‘Senator White told me he was sur- prised at the absolute lack of the party’s organization up this way,”’ said a promi- nent Democrat last night, “and theye are reasons for believing he does not have much faith in the way Chairman Jones is conducting the National campaign.” One of the things thai are greatly worry- ing Democrats is that the State campaizn isout of their hands. Thomas V. Cator, Populist candidate for United States Sen- ator, seems to be handling the State ficht. Denocratic headquariers at toe California Hotel are aimost deserted, “‘and the Democratic politics not being dcne by Cator,”” the kickers say, ‘‘is being looked after by Colonel George Baker of the silver wing.” However much this arrangement may please Chairman Alford, the young man from Visalia in charge of the State fi:ht, it looks like kindergarten politics to some of the old warno:ses oi the Democracy. Many of these interested themselves at the hotels yesierday by discussing the outcome likely to be the reward of the cimpaign. As a result they are very lukewarm 1in their support and are cha- grined at the voung man’s frequent ap- peals for coin. The Democrats are much afraid that the coming of General Benjamin Butterworth and ex-Gover; Foraker will cause a stampede 10 McKinley such as has over- taken the E:st, but they have appealed in vain for good speakers from the East. The one stereotyped answer that comes is that all the able Democratic speakers are for McKinley or Paimer. Goaded to des- peration by their failures, the Democrats bave a¢ last prevailed upor Senator White to follow up General Butterworth with the hope of repairing, as far as possible, the damage he wiil do. Colon H. G. Shaw returned from Yountvil yvesterday, where he made a speech 10 700 peovle Saturday night. “I have been speaking at many blaces for weeks,” he said, “and I find the McKin- ley sentiment growing everywhere. Me- chanics and workingmen in general are coming over to us by scores. The more they study the question the clearer do they see ttie fallacies of the siiver craze. Men who were for Brvan a few weeks ago are now unreservedly for McKinley and protection, and we are muking gains every day.”’ Chairman Streining of the Sonoma County Central Committee came to the City yesterday. He isdelighted over the cutlook in ms county, of which he said: “McKinley is the one hope of our people. | Our convention at Sebastopol a few days ago wac one of the best we ever nad, and this campaign is organized and effective all through the county. We have fine men on the local ticket, and there is every reason to believe that we will sweep the county. Bryan men are growing scarcer every day, and a wholesome reaction has getin.” Charles W. Weston of Los Angeles ar- rived from a trip through the southern part of the State yesterday, and he has de- cided ideas of the cam paign. the outlook, he said: “The so-called Silver Republican Ciub down our way is weakening every day, because men see the error they are msking by deserting the Repubiican party for the chimerical dreams of the Popocrats.” The Junta wing o1 the Democracy is working diligently on the slate, and a re- sult will probably be reached in a few days in all the assembly districts, but until the matter is setiled baa blood between the two wings of the Bourvons is likely to continue. Gl Officers Were Elected. At the last regular meeting of the Bryan and Sewall Club of the Thirty-first Dis. trict the following permanent officers were elected: President, James Dunning; vice- president, H. J. Butler; secretary, James | McManus; treasurer, Edward McKewen; sergeant-at-arms, Charles Proctor. One hundred and sixty members signed tne roll. UNDER ELECTRIC LIZHTS. The Nord Deutscher Verein Holds Its Twenty-Second Outing. The Nord Deutscher Verein, one of the largest and most flourishing German benevolent societies in San Francisco, held its regular annual picnic at Shell Mound Park vesterday. As the affair ex- tended into the night it was aiso cailed a moonlight picnic. The verein was formed in 1874. and now has a membership of about 400, It has $25,000 in the bank as a reserve fund, be- sides s surplus account of $500. The officers of the verein are: A. Meyer, pre;(;- t; George Alpers, vice-president; C, g{':efier, secretary; William Moeller, financial secretary; Otto Schinkei, treas- urer; finance committee—H. Meisner, Theodore Dierks and. N Gerrkin. The outing was a success in every way. There were dancing in the pavilion, bowl- ing in the alley and raffles, gifts and prizes for the young folks and children, hen the darkness of the -evening settled down the handiwork and artistic taste of Cap- tain Siebe were manifest. Large are elec- tric lights appeared in all parts of the grounds and in the pavilion, while from the limbs of numerous trees aud con- venient places on the building Japanese lanterns added light and variety to the scene.

The Italian colony of San Francisco cel- ebrated the twenty-sixth anniversary yes- terday of the entrance of ltaly’s army into Rome. Early in the day crowds began to gather for the festive and patriotic outing. | They suriounded Bersaglieri Hall at Stock- | ton and Union streets and as soon as the procession of Italian societies passed they went to Harbor View Park. Every partic- 1pant appeared to enter with enthusiasm into the spirit of the occasion,and all joined in making the celebration worthy | of the Italian colony and of the day itself. First of all there was a street parade, then patriotic exercises at Harbor View Park, followed by dancing and social pleasures. In the evening grand fireworks on Wash- ington square were given in the presence of thousands, and the celebration was brought to a fitting close with a grand ball which lasted till the small hours of morn- ing. Moutgomery avenue and the greater Eoruon of North Beach was decorated in onor of the day and the Italian flag flew from many a tall pole in that district. The procession formed at Stockton and Union streets and passed along_Stockton street to Broadway, thence 10 Montgom- ery avenue and on to Union and Powell streets, where the parade dispersed and Erocooded in cars to the park. Giannetti’s and was in the lead, followed by the alumni of the ltalian school and commit- tees of tne various Ital an societies. A. N, Codeglia was grand marshal. hen a large crowd was gathered in the Park pavilion E, Venaglia, president of the day, opened the iiterary exercites. A. D. Bpl! o delivered an address in lialian that was enthusiasticaily applauded, and James A. de Voto spoke 'in English. He referred (0 the events that led up to t.e struggle for Italian autonomy and de- scribed the final triumph when Italy’s troops marched into Rome, September 20, 1870. The day, he said, was dear to every Italian’s beart, and no matter where the Italian flag floated on tuat day the victory was commemorated. Patriotic music was furnished by the band between the ad- dresses. An event of the afternoon was the tom- bola or drawing of prizes which caused considerable merriment. F.

Unii. While many were returning from Har- bor View the sky was illuminated with fireworks, most of which had the pic- turesque background of Washington Square and Telegraph Hill. An immense throng viewed the many beautiful things in fires, and greeted the set pieces with cheers. Even as they nKplaudrd the National emblems that sparkled and glht- tered in the night, Bersaglieri Hall was filling with those who made up a briiliant gathering an! enjoyed the dance. The grand ball proved to be equal in every particular to the preceding events, and its success was due to the efforts of the following prominent Italian citizens: Reception committee—G. F.

Kilgallon and R. Lenihan. The handball courts were crowded yes- terday and several exciling games were witnessed. At the San Francisco courta game that aronsed the keenest interest was played, the contestants being J. C. Nealon and J. Feeney against M. J. Kil- gallon and R. Lenihan, the overhand swiper. The play was marked by exciting rallies which created the greatest enthusi- asm. Nealon and Feeney carried off the honors, chiefly owing to Feeney’s all- round clever play. Another interesting vame was plaved between the old-time rival teams, D. Rodgers and Phil Ryan and M. McNeil and G. McDonald, the two former winning the final by two aces. Several new players again made their appearauce in the Union court, and for be:inners played a very good game. Oue of the most exciting games was that ba- tween W. P. Doran and R. Barry and W. Heffernan and R. Burke, the two former winning. Some disappointment was felt that tue event of the ryny did not coms off, owing to the absence from the City of two of the players. J. Harlow and W. Mc- Manus were matched to play M. J. Kil- gallon and Terry McManus, the heavy- weight champion. It will come off next Sunday. Some good games were played in the Mission Athletic Club court and in the Eureka court.

The DOCTORS SOWING A WHIRLWIND Contract Lodge Practice the Question at Issue. OPEN WAR DECLARED. Physicians Who Serve Fraternal Orders Denounc:d as ,Ignorant. LODGE MEMBERS INDIGNANT. They Declare the Agitation a Futile Attempt to Turn Civilization Backward. Thousands upon thousands of members of fraternal and benevolent societies are interested and are likely to be more or less affected by an agitation thatis rapidly spreading and assuming increased power among the members of the medical pro- fession of this City and of the State gen- erally. The matter in issue is tersely and clearly set forth in the following excerpt from an editorial which appeared in the September issue of the Occidental Medical Times: The question of contract lodge practice by reputable physicians, whereby medical and surgical services and medicines are furnished at a fixed and purely nominal sum to members of various ‘benevolent” societies is fast be- coming & burning one. Of late years the mag- nitude and extent of this evil has pressed more hardly on the profession. At the present time, with the numerous iree dispensaries and ciin- 1cs and the various ‘“‘benevolent societies,” some of which even support hospitals, the life gl tlée general practitioner is yearly becoming arder. If we read the signs of the times aright, there is now under way & widespread move- ment against the various organizations which, under the cloak of charity or benevolence, or openly in thespiritof commercialism, are now flourishing so rankly. Some two years ago, in San Francisco, there were ominous mutterings in the profession, when some new ‘“lodge” was about to be formed. The mutterings became louder, until their volume was sufficient to compel some promi- nent members of the profession to disassociate themseives from the scheme. More iecently, in Southern California an active agitation has been in progress with the object of placing this class of business where it properly belongs—among the ignorantand disreptuable ot our profession. At several of the recent sessionsof the San Francisco County Medical Society the matier has been hotly debated and efforts made to formally pledee all the members against the practice condemned in the foregoing article, but thus far without success. It is probable that this out- spoken expression by a journal that is looked upon as a representative organ of the profession will renew the agitation lo- cally and lead to some early and decided action. Amcn}z the prominent members of the various fraternal and benevolent organiza- tions the movement is viewed rather with indignation than apprehension. They declare it an effort to turn the wheels of progress and civilization backward. They declare that the opposition to the medical aid feature of their organizations ison a par with the opposition of the doctors of former years to boards of health; with the reluctance with which Harvey’s theory of the circulation of the blood was re- ceived and the similar attitude assumed greatesi posisble interest is taken by parishioners of 8t. Joseph’s in the work of the zealous priests, and this was evident yesterday in the crowds that filled the church. Solemn high mass was celebrated at 10:30 A. M. by Father Scanlan, assisted by Father Collins as deacon, Father Mec- Donald as subdeacon and Father Doran as master of ceremonies. Tue Rev. Father O’Shea delivered a sermon on the seven dolors of the Blessed Virgin, which formed the gospel of the day. At 3 p. M. the mission for married women was solemnly closed. The music_at this service consisted of the ““Veni Creator’” by Cagliero, Rossi’s *‘Magnificat,” Rossini's "0 Salutaris,” Rosewig’s ‘‘Tantum Ergo'' and Giorza’s “‘Laudate Dominum,” beautifully ren- dered by ihe choir—Miss Jcnnie Eastman, soprano; Miss Nellie Gailagher, contraito; Phili Murpnl; and Edward Lotz, tenors, and %‘nnk . Scollins, basso. At the close the Papal benediction was given by Father Mullane to about 1500 married ladies. The evening services began the mission oung ladies, who packed the church. Father O'Shea preached on the salvation of the soul, using the text, “There is one thing necessary.” He pointed out the necessity of all people seeking the one thing necessary, which is not to be found in the aequisition of wealth, or materiai or sensual pleasures; but in the love and service of God and the observance of his commandmenta. A mission began in St. Joseph’s Hall at 9 A. m. for all little giris of the parish no matter what schools they attend. Every morning during the week there will be mass in the hall and instructions at 8 o’clock for the children. Thursday, at 7:30 P. M., thers will be a special lecture on the duties which a young woman owes to her God, to her parents and to herself. Friday evening all the young women will be solemnly conseciated to the Sacred Heart of Jesus, and on Baturday evening all women and children, who have made their first com- munion, will be solemnly dedicated to the Blessed Virgin. Next Sunday the mission for married men will begin in St. Joseph’s Church. B A Tableau Entertainment.

The San Francisco Reds defeated the Golden Gates by & score of 23 to 18 yester- day, and a nive from the S8an Francisco Market by a score of 6 to 2. The Reds wonld be pleased to hear from the Swin- nertons. toward Jenner's theory of vaccination and the germ theory of disease. Dr, Geo:ge W. Daywalt is a member of the San Francisco County Medical Society, and is also prominent in fraternai mat- ters, being grand medical examiner of the Ancient Order of United Workmen. He is not at all in sympathy with his breth- ren who dabble in materia medica and flourish the scalpel. “‘A physician,” he said, ‘‘bas as much right to take charge of a lodge for a stipu- lated sum as has a surgeon to take charge for a stipulated sum of a railroad corpora- tion’s hospital. While it works a hard- ship on the profession at larze yet itis undoubtedly a great advantage to the general community. *‘We are beginning to realize that more can be accomplished by concerted than by individual action, and this is only one more in the line of wider co-operation among the people. The poorest man is by the latest methods enabled to secure the same skillful medical services that is available to the millionaire. Personally 1 am willing to be injured if humanity at large is to be benefited thereby. “A fraternal society has the same right, legally and morally, to employ its physi- cian as has the Southern Pacitic Railroad or the German or French hospitals, which are maintained by benevolent societies, and the physician who renders service to the loage members of fraternal orders should no more be censured than are-the physicians in these hospitals.” William H. Barnes, one of the most prominent Odd Fellows and Workmen on the Pacific Coast, spoke as foliows after reading the article in the Medical Times: The writer does not seem to understand that there may possibly be a spirit of fraternity un- derlying the willingnessof a skiliful physician to assist those with whom he Is associated in fraternal ties. It looks to me as if there was something else underlying this, and that that something is a sort of envy. And perhaps it is justified, in the fact that a brother who is & physician and who sacrificss his time to practically assist those in sickness and distress must naturally win the esteem, respect, gratitude and affec- tion of those he serves, and thus become more popular and prosperous than his less broad- minded or less fortunate brother practitioner, Far from condemning the man who is will- ing togive his brains, skill snd ability at a mere nominal cost to help a fellow-man, the medical profession as mcg should take pride in the fact that thev have among them men of such high character and largs heart. If it is ignorant and disreputable to do gooa to our fe!low-man, to visit the sick and relieve the distressed. then the sooner the majority of mankind e ignorant and disreputable the better it will be for the community, tne State and the Nation. BOHEMIANS WIN. The Alameda Club Was Badly De- feated In Yesterday’s Game. Painfully one-sided was the cricket match played yesterday at Alameda be- tween the Bohemian and Alameda clubs, the game going to the boysin scarlet and white by 5 wickets on the first inning. True, the vanquished eleven lacked two of its best players, but even this mishap need not have brought about so calamitous a re- sult—so, at least, thou:ht the spectators. * The t being won by Captain Hozue the Bohemians were sent in. Bowhill and Sheath led, and the former being in his best form was not dismissed till he had put up a half century, when he made his exit without so much as a growl. Then Moriarty, who had joined him some time previously, completed a scientific inning of 73, and was followed by Robertson, who made 37 with his accustomed nonchalance. The catch by Hood in the deep fiela, which dismissed him, was generaily ad- mitted o be the finest ever mude on the flvnmt for it involved a long sprint ana a p. en two more wickets had fallen Ro- bertson called the innings and the Alame- da men went ip, with 183 runs against them. Of this total they fell short by 135, Teddy Randail, who went in for sloggin, alone reaching double figures. It wasa veritable walkover for tie Bohemians as will be seen from the following score: BOHEMIANS. W. Reeves, did not by W. McCrae, did not bat. H. H. Cookson, did not bat. W. Mcindoe, did not bat. T.

The Socialist Labor party held a mass- meeting at 909 Market street yesterday afternoon for the purpose of ratifying the work of the New York National Conven- tion in July last. The proceedings were characterized by great enthusiasm, and the object of the meeting was satisfactorily effected. A second meeting was held in the even- ing, av which the principal, though not the only speaker, was R. T. Maclvor, who discussed political issues from an im- partial standpoint, as far as either of the two great parties are concerned. He was frequently applauded. Another mass-meeting will be held at an early .date in connection with the municipal ticket of the Socialist Labor party, but as yet final arrangements to that end have not been completed. ——————— Presidio Ball Games. Company F, First Infantry, National Guard of California, pounded the horse- hide over the hesds of the Company A nine at the Presidio yesterday afternoon, winning the game 14 to 10. Keyley, center fielder of Company F, pulled down a cluster of high flies. The Conway & Drummels nine beat the Columbia Woolen Mitls team 15 to 0. PAST FIVE SCORE VEARS, The Lyre Francaise Makes the Day an Occasion for a Picnic. I |WITH MUSIC AND MIRTH, Many Thousands of Gauls Brighten Up the Grounds in Honor of Their Holiday. The 104th anniversary of the proclama- | tion of the first Republic of France, in 1792, was celebrated by the local French colony yesterday, at the Presidio Ger- | mania Gardens. The Lyre Francaise, an organization than | which there isno better in this State, is | composed purely of Frenchmen who have made their home in this city, and who are blessed with voices and musical knowl- edge befitting them for the operatic stage. The members selected yesterday as the time for their annual outing. The usual games were indulged in, and the fun was fast and furious from early morning until late at night, when the day’s pleasure terminated in a social dance.
