8 e e e e e e e e e HARNESS RACES ON STOCKTON'S TRACK Speedy Horses Compete in Three Exciting Events. SLEEPY LOUPE AWAKENS Phenomenal Time Made by the Golden Gate Park Roadster. T00 FAST FOR DEL NORTE. Drivers McManus and Cecil Fined by the Judges—Fanny C Shows Class. STOCKTON, CAL., Sept. 23.—With beau- tiful weather, a splendid card of trotting and pacing events, and a free gate for the fair sex, the officials of the track looked for a big attendance to-day, yet it must nave been with a feeling of disappoint- ment that they cast their syes upon the meager crowd in the big grand stand, that in the years gzone by re-echoed with the cheers of thousands of excited spectators, Can it be that harness sport 1s on the decline? It mustbeso. The betting, as well as the betting ring itself, showed a marked improvement, the pool sellers enjoying a most enervating day’s business. In the lower grand stand, a couple of wagon loads of the more pacific-minded of the unfortunate human beings from the State Insane Asylum gazed upon the finishes, with at times a gleam of intelli- gence lighting up their stolid countenan- ces. Of the sport itself, nothing bat praise can be said. Fanny C, owned by the well- known Sacramento merchant, Hugh Casey, made her field look very ordinary ip the 2:40 trot, much to her owner’s delight. She was driven by Charley Jefferies, who thus successfully signalized his first appearance before a California racegoing public, and created a very favorable impression. Conn was finally cut loose and capturea the best part of the heat dash es for horses of the 2:19 class. The 2:13 pace remained unfinished as the sun sank below the level of distant hills. And what an over- throw it promises to be! Del Norte, the statuesque son of Altamont, buried in the dust kicked up by the neels of the sleepy- looking Loupe, which all winter long posed as an ordinary roadster in Golden Gate rark, San Francisco, hauling his owner out to the beach and sniffing the invigorating sea breeze with such delight- ful results that he to-day stepped a mile of the third heat in 2:10)4 and this in such hurricane fashion as to indicate that 2:081¢ might not be beneath his level. The first beat, won by Del Norte and in which Loupe barely got within the distance flag, was expensive for Driver McManus, who was rightfully fined $100 for his wiseness. Another driver, W. Cecil, took things easy in the 2:40 trot with Peter Jackson and he stands charged up with $50. Pity it is the strict rules of the running turf are not in effect on the trotting and peaing turf. The latter is gradually drift- ing to ruin through the machinations of a clique of “‘wise drivers,” who have grown rich and again poor at the expense of a | disgusted puolic which now seeks relief by staying away. With but three very ordinary ones op- posing her, Fanny C sold a $20 to $4 favor- ite over the field, 2nd won in three straight heats, with Peter Jackson taking second money. The mare will hereafter appear in the colors of Mr. Winsnip. The 2:19 trot, heat dashes, was a rather confused affair. Before the first heat, clos- ing pools were: Field $10, Nettie Ham $9 and Neernut $4. Conn took the first two heats off the reel, and that after makin, bad break in the second heat. He took a mark of 2:151 in the first heat. A break cost him the third heat, won by Eva T, and under the conditions of the race he as well as the mare went to the stable. For the consolation heat, Neernut was favorite over the field. He failed to get a slice of the coin. Columbus S wen the heat, but was placed second and the heat given to Clay 8, greatly to the crowd’s satisfaction. The betting on the 2:13 pace showed a greatly agitated market, the pooling being about the liveliest of the eutire eircuit. | Del Norte brought $40, Loupe $22, Hazel H $8 and the field $11. Del Norte took the first heat after a bruising finish with Hazel H, in the fast time of 2:103{, which is now the black horse’s mark; the crowd cheered. The heat winner then sold a $10 to $6 favorite over the field for the second heat, with a few short-end purchasers. Loupe challenged his brother back in the stretch and made him look like a ‘“‘yaller dorg,’” winning easily in 2:1134. Now Loupe sold 8 2 to 1 choice over the field. He marched around Del Norte in the stretch and finished like a cyclone in 2:10}, with Bill Frazier second. " In this heat the hand- some mare Lena N created a sensation by flying past the field in ghostly fashion the first quarter and giving promise of mak- g the two-minute record. She made a break midway down the backstretch, which threw her outof the neat. The race was postponed on - account of dark- ness until 1 o’clock to-morrow.

STANFORD UNIVERSITY, Car., Sept. 23.—The playing of the foofball ‘men to- day was admirable, considering how early it1sin the season. There was quite a per- ceptible amount of interference and the teams worked together better than in the previous games. Cross waded around in the muddy clay after the players, and no good play missed his commendation or no poor play missed his reproof. His whole heart was evidently in the game, and he had the men equally interested. The grounds were in miserable shape, being water-soaked and slippery. Dole '98 ana Fisher '98, at halfback po- sitions, showed up well. Dole has a good “straight arm,” which helps him greatly in his runs, and he is fast proving a first- class man back of the line. Fisher’s strong point is in bnckinf. He hits the line with great force and is a hard man to throw off his feet. Williams, at center of the Varsity, played a good game, and B. Thomas '97 and Lanegan '90, both at halfs, showed that they had football blood in them. Among those who have thus far shown the greatest ability as ends are McGilvray ’00 and Madden ’00. They are upeeds men at getting under punted balls, an each of them had several excellent tackles to his record yesterday. 8o evenly were the first and second elev- ens divided that neither showed much su- periority over the other. Inasmuch as there still remain two weeks and more for practice before the first match game of the season Stanford, from present outlook, sheuld have a much. better team afield than ever before at so early a date 1n the football season.

AROUND THE WORLD ON 4 BICYCLE A One-Legged Rider Is Pedaling His Weary Way. TRAVELED 2878 MILES. He Left Madison, South Dakota, on June 1, and Went as He Pleased. FLED FROM “HARD TIMES.” Now His Possessions Are Reduced to a Single Cent, Some 0ld C othes ald His Trusty Wheel. R. W. Brown, who left Madison, South Dakota, on June 1 to ride a'bicycle around the world, reached this City yesterday afternoon, weary, battered, bruised and hungry. Brown is not trying to make any par- 700,000 members, eleven Bishops, and churches all over the Unitea States. Be- sides this, it has missions in Afries, Nova Scotia, Bermuda and Hayti. “Iam very much pleased with what I have seen of the Pacific Coast; people are broad minded and hospitable. I wrotea letter, a few days ago, to the Atlanta Con- stitution, in which I said that 50,000 in- dustrious colored people could fl_nd homes and employment on the Pacific Coast. Last Sunday I preached at the First M. E. Church in Seattle, at the invitation of the minister, and ¥ never saw a finer audience in my life. It was a white audience, of course, and they were willing to listen to & colored man, and treat him with all the consideration received by any white pas- tor."” The Bishop left for Los Angeles last night. He was accompanied on his trip by his daughter. AT THE CARNIVAL. French Day and the Tableau of the First Singing of the ** Mar- seillaise.”” Yesterday was French day at the his- torical carnival in Native Sons’ Hall, on Mason street, between Post and Geary. The beautiful booth of La Belle France was the center of attraction, and the girls, clothed jn the national tricolor, were the first ladies of the fairy carnival scene. In the evening a concert was given with the following excellent programme: Duo by Mile. Elena Roeckel and Mme. Roeckel; tenor solo, Charles Morel; chanson, Mlle. Alice Decourtieux: va.se charlee, Mme. Prosper Reiter: mandoline melodie, Mlle. Roeckel; chanson, Prosper Reiter; couplets, Mme. Ellen Coursen - Roeckel; romance, Charles Morel. At the conclusion of the concert a tab- leau was given by the music booth, the subject being “‘Rouget de Lisle singing the Marseillaise for the first time before Dietrick, the Mayor of Strasbourg, in 1792, The participants were John P. tothe fact that the people are beginning | to realize that the Seventeenth District Agricultural Association has arranged a \good speed programme and that many fast horses have been brought here to compete for the purses offered.

Clark Took Lauda- num in a Market-Street Lodging-House. She Said Some One Told Her to Go to the Devil, and She Tried to Do So. Bhe was told to go to the devil. That was all that caused Miss Mildred A. Clark to swallow a bottleful of landanum, so she says, and but for timely assistance the girl would now have beer dead. She is young, handsome, is a talented vocalist, and lived in a good home at 2218 ‘Webster street. Early yesterday afternoon Miss Clark went to the Mascot lodging-house at 1118 Market street and hired a room, of which she immediately took possession. Late last evening some noise attracted Ed M. Sim, one of the runners for the house, to enter the room, and he found her lying on a sofa unconscious. At once the girl was aroused, and was walked up and down the floor to keep the effects of the landanum from overcoming b nd then, when she was in a con- dition to remain still for awhile, she was sent to the Receiving Hospital. At thefhospital the girl said some one— she would not say who—had told her to go to the devil, and, as she was tired of life, she thought she would do so, She wanted Dr. Hubbell of 2339 Pine street sent for, as ste said he was the fam- ily physician, he refused to come and ;nid to send for her mother. This was one. In ber ats were found a bottl which hnroz(kmwned the -hud-m:me. labeled Bowman & Sons, Oakland; also a card with the inscription *‘Miss Mildred A. Clark, mezzo soprano.” She seemed well acquainted in musical circles. Her folks were surprised when they learned she was at the hospital, but be- yond saying her mother would be down later they would not speak of the case. —_———— Of the natives of Indis about 000 can now read Engtish, e R. W. BROWN. ticular record. All he wants is a change of scenery and especially to get away, as be says, from *‘the hard times in South Dakota.” He has been pushing westward only one-third of the three months and twenty- three days he has been away from Madi- son, and has made many pleasant stops along the road. At Ogden he rested for four days and he spent two pleasant weeks in Salt Lake and eight days at Sacramento, without counting brief stops at minor points along the road. “In all,” stated the cyclist, * I have traveled, according to my cyclometer, a distance of 2878 miles, less two rods.” Presumably R. W. Brown would have traveled that distance in half the time had he started out without a serious handicap. As it is, he has but one leg, a lett one at that, the other having been amputated some eight years ago. “1 was born forty-two years ago in the Vermont Green Mountains and have been a farmer, harness-maker and a carpenter up to the time T found 1 couldn’t make a livinfi in the East. Thad my wheel and exactly 34 cents when I started out, leav- ing behind me no relatives nor pleasant recollections and having the world before me to traverse at my leisure, making my living as best I could, either ridini exhi- bitions or working at my trades. That is all there isabout me. I'm here now with exncd; a sum total of 1 cent as my capital and I'm hungry, need a bath and some clean clothes, and I’'m positive I'll have all this before many hours. At all events I'd just as soon starve in this country as I would dry up and blow away in Madison.” The agent for the cycle on which Brown rode across the continent was soon with him and it is not likely he will remain long in want. “The centpiece I still possess,” said Brown, “is an English coin, with the stamp of Queen Victoria on it. I propose pre;enfing her with it when I reach Eng- land. “It took me thirty-one days to get to Ogden. At Denv-r I'rodeand won a race, for which I received $5. “I Jeft Ogden Wednesday, the 27th of August. At Grand Junction I was pre- sented with an $8 purse for giving an exhi- bition. “I must not forget the professional race in which 1 rode at Salt Lake. There were thirty entries and twenty-one starters. 1 was allowed a seven-minute handicap over the scratch man and I came out eighth in a ten-mile race, “The best time I made on the entire trip was eighty-seven miles in twenty-four hours, my average time being sixty-four miles. Irode with light tires until I got to Ogden, when 1 was obliged to change them for these heavy road ones. They were punctured eighty times over the Ne- braska desert, where I frequently had to ride over fields of cactus plants.. These heavy tires were punctured but twice. “I propose to leave here as soon as Isee my way clear to get away. I will go either toJapan or Australia, as. circumstances will permit, and I expect to be back next fall, having consumed about eighteen months 1n visiting this country, Japan, India, Austris, Germany, France and England.”’ Brown carries with him a water canteen a small gripsack, a cane and a crutch, ai of which are strapped on the" right side of his wheel, where they offer a resting-place for the stump of his leg. AFRICAN CHURCH WORK Bishop Gaines on the Religious Effects Among Freedmen of California and Elsewhere. Bishop W. J. Gaines of the African M. E. Church, who has been on a visit to Washington and Oregon, arrived here yesterday and is at the Russ. His home is in Atlanta, Ga. He is very much de- lighted, so he said yesterday, at what he has seen on the Pacific Coast. ‘‘We bave here.” he said yesterday, ‘“‘about 1000 members. That is not very many apparently, but it is realiy a good many, for our population here is very light, The African M. E.

Prosper Reiter, Mrs. Gilbert Whitaker and Miss Dora Cohn. To-day will be the Scotch, Irish and Gypsy day. EMMA ASHLEY IS FREE, Found Not Guilty of 'Assault to Murder Millionaire E. J. Baldwin. It Took the Jury Only Two Minutes to Determine Her In- nocence. The farce of trying Emma Ashley for as- sault to commit murder in having shot at E!J. Baldwin was yesterday concluded. As was predicted several days ago, the jury acquitted her in less than five minutes. The party most injured in the entire matter was the City and County, which had to pay several hundred dollars for a long-winded trial, the conclasion of which was practically foregone. Yesterday's proceedings, arguments and all, were dull and uninteresting. Dr. John W. Robertson was on the stand in the morning and testitied as an expert on in- sanity. He gave it as his opinion, in answer to a hypothetical question, that the defendant was sane at the time the shot was fired. The afternoon was con- sumed by the arguments of Assistant District ~ Attorney Piexotto, _General Friedrichs and the charge to the jury. The only occurrence out of the ordinary was the manner in which the prisoner’s counsel scored Millionaire Batdwin. He said among other things that it was a stain upon the honorof the State that tle horse- man should go unwhipped for his actions during the past forty years. The time consumed in actual dolibera- tion by the jury was exactly two minutes. On the return to the courtroom it was re- ported that *“We, the jury, find the ac- cused not guiity, by reason of insanity.’” Emma Asnley, on hearing the verdict, quickly rose and said to the jurymen, “‘Gentlemen, I thank you.”” One or two emotional females among the spectators burst into tears; the attorneys congratu. lated the Ashley sisters and a trial that has been utterly devoid of anything sensa- tional was ended. THREE BOY BURGLARS. They Break Into a House and Throw Rocks at the Owner, Who Surprises Them. Three boys broke into the residence of W. Loncas, 804 Greenwich street, about 1 o'clock yesterday afternoon, and were ran- sacking the rooms when Loncas came upon the scene. The boys ran out of the house, pursued. b{ Loncas. When they reached the mid- dle of the street 1hey picked up rocks and threw them at Loneas, forcing him to re- treat to his house for sheiter. Loucas callea Policeman P. C. Peters, and he found the boys in a vacant house at 803 Greenwich street. They were booked on the charge of bur- lary. Tney gave the names of Genio alton, 15 years of age; Albert Morton, 14, and Joseph Martin, 13. Their parents live in the neighborhood of Vallejo and Kearny streets and the boys get a bad name from the police, Numerous petty thefts have occurred in houses on Greenwich and. adjacent streets and they are attributed to the_three boys. They are hardened youths and look upon their arrest as a good joke. \ ———————— Thousands Are Interested.

MR. O'DONNELL’S STRING The Slate Went Through With Expedition, Harmony and Satisfaction. TEN DOLLARS IS IMPERATIVE On Monday Night the Convention Will Gamble on the Supreme Court Reversing Itself The Rainey Democratic municipal con- vention held another session in Odd Fel- lows’ Hall lagt night during which Jus- tices of the Peace and Police Judges were nominated and three unimportant resoin- tions passed. According to the Rainey- Lanigan programme the convention ad- journed until next Monday evening after deciding to nominate a full munici- pal ticket in view of the remote pos- sibility that the Supreme Court may re- verse itself regarding thé four-year term on Garret McEnerney’s motion for a re- hearing in the county government case. The convention thns has before it not only ihe nominations for Superintendent of Schoois, School Directors and Super- visors, but for the offices which the Su- preme Court decided were to be filled only every four years. These nominations create new interest in the convention, and'the. ‘‘anarchist’ combination is being revived. The nomi- nation for the county clerkship appears to be the leading fight, and John F. Mc- Govern, the Third-street merchant and secretary of the General Committee, is again at the front with the prospect of getting the nomination, which depends for its value on the hazard of McEnerney’s petition. The conveution was called to order late by Chairiaan Ragan. Theattendance was smaller than usual and the proceedings constituted a nois¥ but good-natured and smooth pulling through of the slate. Attorney Joseph E. O’Donnell, whose voice had already so often been heard in the convention as a representative of the Rainey-Lanigan power, became a regular ju&ge-mnker. e has been mightily interested in the judicial slate from the start, and at the precedini session had nominated Frank J. Murasky for Superior Judge—he whom the Buckleyites are about to kick off their ticket for letting the thing occur. Mr. O'Donnell at the former session also sec- onded another nomination, and last night he nominated a Justiceof the Peace and then a Police Judge. The nominations made were as follows: Police Judges—C. G. Conlon, George A. Proctor, J. A. Spinnetti, Stephen R. O'Keefe. Justices of the Peace—John J. Kennedy, John A. Carroll, William T. Hess, Michael O’Gara, Sands Forman, At 9 ». M. the convention came to order and Secretary Saulman read a report from the committee on resolutions, reporting favorably the resolutions referred at the last session providing respectively that the chairman of the convention, the com- mittee on platform and the general com- mittee of the party be a committee to look after the observance of the platform by nominees, if elected; in favor of paying the municipal debt and in favor of the passage of a pure primary law by the next Legislature. The report was adopted in a perfunctory way. A further resolution submitted by the committee on resolutions recommended that nominations for a full municipal ticket be made in view of the possibility of the Supreme Court granting a rehea ing in the county government case involv- ing the length of terms of municipal officers. This resolution enumerated the offices to which the Supreme Court award- ed four-year terms, viz.: County Clerk, Sheriff, Recorder, Coroner, Public Admin- istrator and City and County Attorney. On motion, consideration of the resolu- tion was postponed ‘‘until next Monday evening,” which was in effect, a resolution to hold a future session on that day. The chairman took up the course of nominations by announcing that nomina- tions for Police Judge were in order. The slate at once went through smoothly. Eugene N. Deuprey took the platform and iu a few nice words nominated Police Judge Charles G. Conlan, whereat the boys cheered again and again. Once again was Editor Greenblat Gives a Pointer to His Neighbor, it shown in a municipal convention that the ‘‘push” knows its friend. Joseph E. O'Donnell took the stage, as usual, at this point. Mr. O’Donnell is a remarkably important part of the Rainey (:gntvenhon. “H» 3 :neugxieu: nominator of at a, gation political journeymen. Mr. 5qll‘;onnall nominated Ja Sninerlor Judge, & Police Judge and a Justice of the Peace, besides seconding the nomination of one of each variety of Judge, and also had his say on the platform in connection with most of the ticket. Mr. O’Donnell nominated George A. Proctor,*'a graduate of Santa Clara College. who four years ago poiled 16,000 votes for Police Judge,” Herbert Choynski took the staze, men- tioned "tho‘larlonl work that has been mapped out” for the convention, and named J. A. Spinetti, . J. Locke nominated *‘a well-known resident of the Mission,” Stephen R. O'Keefe. ; Children Cry for James E. Runcie put C. G. Conlan’s na; fore the convention. C. A. Reynolds seconded the nomination of O’Keefe and Deuprey that of Proctor, whereupon nominations closed and the ticket was declared. There were calls for all the nominees but none responded and nominations for Justices of the Peace followed. George Gallagher named John J. Ken- nedy and Joseph E. O’Donnell put John A. Carroll in nomination. Hugo K. Asher nominated William T. Sectetary Saulman Studying. Hess, son_of’ the chief proprietor of the German Demokrat. Mr. Hess Sr. had been a slate nominee for Treasurer, but he stepped aside to give his son a show. H. C. Gesford, who is getting into local poiitics as deeply and prominently as he can since his removal to the City, fol- lowed. “Possibly sentiment has no place at this time—this'is a practical convention,” said the ex-Senator of the interior. *I was born and raised in a little county north of San Francisco—Napa County— and from boyhood to manhood, one of my truest friends was Michael O'Gara. [Great cheering.] He was true to his family in his struggles to maintain them, and one of his boys he sent to that great institution at Santa Clara which has produced a White, a Del Valle, a Dennis Spencer and others like them. 1t egives me pleasure to nominate John O’Gara —a good old Democratic name. Vote for him."” C. A. Reynold nominated Sands For- T Will Be Satisfied With Most Any Office. man, nominations closed at once, and the acclamation process followed. On motion of E.N. Deuprey, amended by Herbert Choynski, it was ordered that the names of all who seek rominations for Supervisor or School Director must be handed to the secretary, to be published, and that they be not acted upon by the convention until Monday evening. E. P. E. Troy, with an eye to the best and not the usual convention methods of disposing of the ten-dollar pieces coltected from all candidates for uominations, moved that there be appointed a treasurer and an nndilinicummittee and that any possible surplus be turned over to the gen- eral committee. There were howls of *“No!” and Deuprey gu in a motion that candidates for School irector be excepted from the $10 tax called a “‘donation” out of formal respect to_the purity of election Jaws. W. P. Sullivan made a point of order, which somehow involved the considera- tion that if aspirants for the Board of Education were excepted there might not be enough to go around among the big crowd of sergeants-at-arms and secretaries, and the whole proposition was buried, whereupon the convention adjourned until Monday evening. The following candidates for nomination for School Director were reported to the secretary: George S. Bachman, dentist, 6 Eddy street; Benjamin Armer, book- keeper, 2815 Pine; C. A. Bautel, 427 Lar- kin; J. J. McCarthy, secretary of the City Hall Commission,” 270 Minna; Michael Byrne, merchant, 1235 Green; George Walcom, furniture, 402 Sutter; Dr, Horace Laidlaw, 1715 Broderick. The following additional aspirants for the Board of Supervisors were registered at $10 apiece: W. O'Connell, Seventh ‘Ward, 326 Powell streei; M. C. McGrath, Ninth Ward, hotel, 530 Fourth street; J. D. Griffin, Eleventh Ward, boat-builder, 1714} Howard street. Trotting Kaces at Reno.

HEN YOU LOSE THAT power you have lost all the best of life. There is a charm gone from your exist- ence, and you miss it more than anything else. Gt But when you regain it after years of incapacity your heart will leap with joy—then the bright spirit will shine forth in your eye, and the happy smile in your countenance will tell your acquaintances that you have found a new existence. Then you meet your friends with the strong clasp of the hand and the look of confidence which tell them that “here is the new-born man.” Your every action bespeaks new manhood. You are then a better man physically and men- tally than if you had never known weakness. “You' can say that I was nearly a wreck in every way, , but I am now a better man than I ever thought of being,” says L. L. Jaccard, the Jeweler, of San Leandro, Cal., after using Dr. Sanden’s Electric Belt. Some men feel that they are not weak, though they are not what they might be in manly vigor had they not lightly trans- gressed the laws of Nature. These are just the ones who most appreciate the value of Dr. Sanden’s Belt. In a few weeks they learn that it can make them, twice as strong as they were. “Before I began using your Belt I thought there was not much the matter with me, but efter using. it a month I have found the value of good health,” says Wm. Simpson, Goleta, Cal. Flectricity is wonderful in its strengthening influence. Your vitality seems to grow strongen and more buoyant every day. There seems no limit to your Cuergies. You can do twice the emount of work you formerly eould, and not get weary. “I can do as much work ag any two men now,” says Ly C. Minyard, Napa, Cal. Words cannot tell of the gratitude felt by the men who have been restored to man. hood by Dr. Sanden’s Electria Belt. Will you become one of its happy patients? You can learn how great has been its good work by reading the little book, “Three Classes of Men,” which Dr. Sanden will send you free, closely sealed, on request. doing business Call or address SANDEN ELECTRIC CO., 630 Market Street, San Franclsoo) Opposite Palace Hotel.
