» CAMPAIGN OPENS AT SACRAMENT Converts to Republicanism Made at a Political Rally. TWO TELLING SPEECHES - D. A. McKinlay and Ex-Mayor Davis of Oakland the Orators. LABORERS LISTEN AND CHEER. Many Who Were “on the Fence” Climb Down on the Side of Prolection. SACRAMENTO, CarL., Sept 25.—Amid the bursting of rockets and blare of brass bands the Republicans of Sacramento fired the opening gun of the campaign and lizhted the torch of patriotism, which for the past month had been smoldering be- neath the work of preparation. With but a few hours’ notice Metropolitan Theater was crowded irom pit to gallery with an andience composed in the main of the thinking laboring classes of this vicinity— men whose daily bread depends upon the labor of their hands and who, feeling that upon the issue of this campaign depends the ability to procure the labor with which to gain that bread, have made up their minds to listen attentively to the argu- ments presented by the speakers of -each of the great parties and judge with cool, unbias:d common-sense under which standard it will be to their greatest ad- vantage to enlist. Through the assem- blage were scattered a number of women. When . A. McKinlay was introduced by Chairman Davis to-night, he faced an audience distinctively ‘‘on the fence.” When Speaker McKinlay took his seat at the conclusion of his eloguent speech, that audience had cheered itself hoarse and was wildly enthusiastic for Republi- canism, McKinley and protection, McKin- lay is a convincing speaker, who not only utters incontrovertible truths, but ex- presses them in such manner that they can be thoroughly understood and appre- ciated by all. Heexemplified to the work- ing classes that he was on the rostrum in the interests of the working classes. In conciuding his speech he reviewed the at- tributes of the two Presidential candidates, and in speaking of Bryan, said: “He is claimed by the Democrats to be the coming man —.” A burst of cheers from a few siiverites present interrunted the speaker, who stood calmly until silence was restored, and then in an impressive voice said: *‘My Democratic hearers, four years ago you cheered even more wildly for Grover Cleveland, who was then to you the com- ing man—Grover Cleveland, who became ghe Colossus of Rhodes of Democratic pol- itics, so mighty that his limbs stretched from ocean to ocean across oar land, and all other poor mortals were compelled to peep between his mighty legs to catch a glimpse of the outside world—and yet a few brief weeks since at the Democratic convention there were none so poor as to do him reverence, and he was utterly re- pudiated. May not such be the fate of your coming man ?” He paused and for a moment the pro- verbial pin could have been hesrd to fall. Then arose a burst of applause that fairly rocked the building, and when he spoke of McKinley and _his career from the time of shouldering his musket in the cause of emancipation to his proof of eminent statesmanship in the halls of Congress, and said McKinley’s name would stand high in the annals of thiscountry when Bryan’s had sunk into oblivion, his voice was drowned by volleys on volleys of wild applause. Those cheers proved that - he had induced those of his hearers who had been “on the fence” to enlist beneath the Republican banner. cKiniay was followed by ex-Mayor W. R. Davis of Oakland, who quietly dis- sected the orator of the Platte and showed him ap in al! his weakness, and then held up in strong relief the magnificent Repub- lican candidate, who for years had proved his eminence as a lawyer, statesman and the father of protection. He vividly com- pared-the failures of the Democratic ad- ministration—which in four short years bad plunged the country into debt, par- alyzed the avenues of industry and trade and thrown thousands of the laboring classes out of employment—with the splendid record of over thirty years of Re- publican administration, of plenty and rosperity. For upward of two hours he geld his audience spellbound with his elo- quence and satire. e MISS MHAW SPEAKS AT UKIAR, Why Voters of 41l Parties Should Favor Equal Suffrage. UKIAH, CaL., Sept. 25.—Rev. Anna Shaw spoke here last evening to a large audience on the woman suffrage amend- ment to be voted on at the next election. The house was crowded, the men being in the majority. The stage was tastily deco- rated and, with a large number of hand- some women on it, presented a pretty sight. Mrs. Jennie Macmillan presided and introduced Miss Shaw. During her remarks the speaker showed wherein any man, a member of any politi- cal party, would be inconsistent should he vote against the proposed amendment. The Republican party, she said, had in- corporated a plank favoring equal suf- irage in its State and National piatforms. Further, as a firm believer in protection to everything American, it was the duty, she said, of every Republican not only to pro- tect the products of America but also the women of America. As reasons why every consistent Demo- crat and Populist should favor the amend- ment, she quoted their respective mottoes; that of the Democratic party, ‘It is the right of every individual to have a voice in the government,” and thatof the Popu- uliszpnrty,“Equsl rightsto all, special priv- ileges to none.”” Every Nationalist should exert his influence in javor of the amend- ment, she claimed, because it was the woman suffrage question that caused the breach in the Prohibitorr party which subsequently resulted in the organization of the Nationalists. —_——— MONTEREY COUNTY POLITICS.

SANTA ROSA, CAL., Sept. 25.—Ridge- way Hall was filled to-night, when the Rev. Anna Shaw appeared on the plat- form to address those assembled on equal suffrage. The eminent suffragist was un- sparing in her comments upon masculine inconsistencies, and created much amuse- ment by her witty sallies. The audience was largely composed of women, and the speaker seemed to echo the sentiments of most of those present. She declared that the only issue of this or any other campaign was being lost sight of by the masculine politicians, and that the time would -soon come when the rights of her sex would be an issue too large to be overlooked. | LAt Santa Cruz Senatorial Fight. SANTA CRUZ, Caw., Sept. 25.—The Re- publican Joint Senatorial Convention of Santa Cruz and San Mateo counties will meet here to-morrow at Odd Fellows’ Hall.

Declares He Desires to Join the Woman Whose Life He Ended. WANTS NO APPEAL TAKEN. Judge Lorigan Names Dccembe; II as the Date for the Murderer’s Bxecuflom’ SAN JOSE, OCaL., Sept. Allender, who killed Miss Walburga Feil- ner and Venanz Crosetti on Sunday after- noon, August 9, was this morning sen- tenced to be hanged at 8an Quentin prison on Friday, December 11, for the murder of the former. Allender took his sentence coolly. The courtroom was crowded with .spectators. When sentence was pro- nounced there was some applause, but this was quickly quieted by the court. On the calling of the case Attorney Morehouse made a motion for a new trial, on the grounds that the court had erred and misdirected the jury in matters of law and that the burden of proof of insan- ity was shifted from the prosecution tc the defendant, who was required to establish insanity by a preponderance of evidence— an incorrect rule of law. Judge Lorigan denied the motion. Allender was then tola to stand up and receive his sentence. Allender says he is reconciled to his fate, and has requested his attorney not to appeal the case. He says that when he is dead he will be with the girl, and that is all he desires. He will be taken to San Quentin in a day or two, nnless an appeal is taken, which is not likely. A el s LINEMAN SALTZMAN'S SUIT. Demands Damag: for the Kesulis of Contact With a Live Wire. SBAN JOSE, CaL., Sept. 25.—Eaward Saltzman to-day began suit in the Superior Court against the Sunset Telephone and Telegraph Company and J. W. Findlay and H. B. Alvord, receivers of the San Jose Railroad Company, for $50,000 dam- ages, alleged to have been sustained on May 15, 1896, while in the employ of the telephone company. Baltzman was employed as a lineman, and on May 15 was engaged in stringing wires along South First street. While ad- irst and Fernando streets he came into coutact with a cross wire of the First-street electric rallway, which was attached to the pole. He received a shock and was thrown violently to the ground. Both of his kneecaps were broken, his ugflne burt, and the injuries, he alleges, confined him to his bed for eleven weeks. The com- plaint alleges that the accident was due to negligence on the part of the two com- panies in allowing a live wire to be fas- tened to the telephone pole. The sum of $1000 is also asked to cover the expense of medical attendance, making a toial of $51,000 sued for. ———— MRS. PARKER'S PAST, Posed as the Widow of & Man She Had Never Married. SAN JOSE, Cav., Sept. 25.—Emma L. Parker, the contestant of the wiil of George H. Parker, deceased, admitted on cross- examination to-day that she had never been married to George L. Brown, the widow of whom she claimed to be at the time of her marriage to Edward Parker. The witness was put through a rigid cross- examination. She also admitted that a picture she had shown to various persons as that of George L. Brown, her deceased husband, was not Brown’s -picture, but that of some one else. She had not heard of Brown since 187L. Mrs. Parker’s past life was delved into and she became rather Wweary on the stand. s Arrested for Highway Robbery. SAN JOSE, CaL., Bept. 25.—Augustine Benyessa, a young Mexican, has been ar- rested on a charge of robblng James Clark near Warm Springs last Saturday night. Benyessa and a companion hela up Clark and relieved him of $8 50, after which they gave him a brutal beating and left him Iying unconscious in the road. Clark identified the defendant as one of his assailants.

Figoni and George Denning, run- away boys from Ban Francisco, were ar- rested by the police in Chinatown this moruning. The boys are about 14 years of age. They say they left their homes in search of work at picking grapes. The Ban Francisco police have been notified of their arrest. PACIFIC GROVE DEBATE. Friends of Gold and Silver Meet on the Rostrum. PACIFIC GROVE, CaL., Sept. 25.—The Populist-Democrats of the City Among the Pines were called out to-night en masse to listen to E. E. Cothran, a lawyer of 8an Jose, who spoke on the issues of the present campaign. Cothran failed to gain many converts to his side of the question. The meeting, however, was thoroughly aroused when at the last moment Edward Berwick of Monterey, a strong gold man, accepted the challenge of Cothran to come to the platform and debate on the main issue before the public. Cothran led off with a fifteen minutes’ talk. His points Berwick attacked and in a masterly manner set forth the fallacies of his opponents’ arpument and doubly strength- ened his own side of the debate by pre- senting numerous statistics and quoting from many well-known authorities. After the first round the speaker took terms of ten minutes each, consuming in all about an lfi:‘i‘{ l‘l:l‘: hll‘l;‘ ;l;ho audience was dec y vor e argument pre- sented by Berwick. » —_— RUM’S ENEMIES IN YOLO.

He is a fluent speaker. e SHASTA MAY NOT LOSE. County Treasurer Jaokson Repays Portron of His Shortage. REDDING, CAv.,, Sept. 25.—The short- age of County Treasurer Jackson is now known to be $26,000. The defaulting Treasurer has within the past day re- placed $4800 of that amount. This money he derived from the sale of mining stocks in the San Francisco market. It is sup- posed Jackson’s brother will make the balance of the shortage good or that Jack- son himself will devise some way of raising the money, else he would not have re- placed the amount he did to-aay. It is believed the bondsmen will not prosecute Jackson. That will be left for the Grand Jury and Supervisors to do. The Grand Jury wiil undoubtedly indict Jackson, and may instruct the District Attorney to prosecute him, even though he should settle the deficiency in full. At their next meeting the Supervisors will appoint Jackson’s successor to the office of Treasurer. Already there is quite a scramble for the appointment. C. C. Bush Jr., cashier of the Bank of Shasta County, has been appointed Deputy Treas- urer, and until the new Treasurer is ap- pointed Bush will act. —_——— Danrisville Burglar Convicted.

EL PALOMA BELEAGURED Bloodthirsty Papago Indians Threaten to Attack the Town. Mexican Troops Dispatched From Hermosillo to the Assistance of the Inhabitants. NOGALES, Arrz., Sept. 25.—Informa- tion from El Paloma, a mining camp in Somnora, about fifty miles southwest of Nogales, conveys the intelligence that the town is beleaguered by Papago Inaians, and the Mexican authorities at Hermosillo bave been applied to for military assist- ance. It is stated that the Papagoes have been holding a feast of some days’ duration in the vicinity of Ei Paloma and have killed a number of cattle belonging to stockmen residing there. An attempt was made to arrest some of the offenaing Indians, who resisted. The posse retreatcd to El Paloma, se- cured re-enforcements and returned ‘to tke scene of the trouble. A second time the Papagoes drove them bpack to El Paloma. A third attempt resulted in the arrest of four Indians and theirincarceration in the jail at the camp. To rescue the prisoners, Papagoes have surrounded and threaten 1o attack. As they were approaching, a courier was has- tened to Santa Ana, seventy-five miles 200 armed the camp away, the nearest place on the Sonora Railway accessible by road, who wired to Hermosillo for troops, This morning Colofiel Kosterlitsky, with a troop of the gendarmerie, was started from Nogales for the scene of the trouble. “BONNY OLABBER.” Has a Flavor That Will Excite the Appe- tite of Epicures. In spite of the prejudice that little Miss Muffet’s misfortunes may have excited in the younger members of the community a disn of ‘‘curds and whey” is not to be de- spised. Eaten as it should be, with the freshest and ripest of berries and the dain- tiest of rusks, it has a pastoral flavor that will entice the appetite of the ennuied bon vivant, says a con¢ributor to Cooking. Under the name of ‘‘bonny clabber” this is a favorite Sonthern dish. It is not merely ‘‘clabbered” milk, but milk left to stand just long enough to become jellied before the whey has separated from the curd. The process may be hastened by rennet, when it is known as “rennet cus- tard,” or it may be kept just to the point where the heat of the atmosphere turns it to a firm jelly. The resultis practically the same. At the South “bonny ctabber’ is seldom sweetened, but is served with plenty of sugar and grated nutmeg strewn over it. Rennet custard, on the contrary, is usually sweetened and flavored with wine, Put half a teaspoonful of rennet in aquart of milk fresh from the milking or heated to 100 degrees. Add about five table- spoonfuls of sugar and two of Madeira. tir the milk thoroughly and let it stand in a warm place for twelve nours or until it hardens. It must be set in the dish it 18 to be served in. Some housekeepers pre- fer to serve it in individual cups. ~ As soon ;s it is a firm jelly it should be set on the ce. No dessert is more wholesome. It isan admirable dish for the children’s supper. table, and for this purpose the wine should be omitted. The snowy little mounds should be turned out of the small cups in which they were set and dredged with sugar. A candied cherry cut in fine bits and scattered over each one will make this simple dish acceptable to almost any child. A rennet custard or any kind of curds and whey should be servad as soon as possible after it is formed and been chilled. Btrawberries are ehaipoci.lly nice with “bonny claober,” which is served with sweetened cream. e .——— A Tree With a History. A Norridgewock (Me,) farmer enter- tainee 100 friends the other day, the table for the collation being set under a willow trea which has an interesting story. The day arter President Lincoln was assagsi- nated the farmer chanced to be three mil irom home, and to assist him in his walk across lots cut a willow limb, which he used for a cane. As he climbed the fence into his yard he stuck the *‘cane’ into the ground, tor end down. 1t took root and grew as willows often do, and to-day isa large tree, covering a space filty-two feet in diameter.

LITERARY WORK. The Enormous Price Paid for a Few Books. S + The Century Company paid $50,000 for the “Life of Lincoln.”” It is no disparage- ment to the authors of the Century’s life of Lincoln to say that theirs was a freak price. The authors had information for sale that no one else possessed. They had a corner on facts about Abraham Lincoln, and the public demand for these facts was 80 great that a high price would have been paid for them, even if told much less grace- fully than the authors told them. The mo- tive of the Century Company in giving $50,000 for this beat was precisely that of any enterprising newspaper in buying ex- clusive news. It isnot by any means an unheard of occurrence that the managing editor of a newspaper should pay $100 for ten words of information and then spend as much more in sending reporters to ver- if¥ the facts and ‘“get all there is of it.” Of ¢ourse, there is nothing in either the $50,000 check or the $100 in cash to indi- cate the market value of literature, and yet a certain club of literary men in this town has framed and hung up the check which the Grants received for the life of General Grant, as if the amount paid was in some way the full limit of prices for a literary product. Scott got $40,000 for **Woodstock,” while Moore got 3000 guineas for *‘Lalla Rookh.” Anthony Trollope received in all $350,000 for his various works. Dryden got £1200 for “Virgil.” Tom Moore got £15,000 for his Irish melodies, George Eliot did not get less than £8000 for any of her novels. and one brought. 515.500, it is said, Robert Bonner of tne Ledger paid Charles Dickens $5000 for ‘‘Hunted Down,” a story of 7000 words. It is cur- rently nPoned that Charles Scribner’s Sons paid $25, for ‘“Sentimental Tommy,” which is now running through their magazine. Arthur Scribner, when asked about this rumor and a further rumor that a bargain at $50,000 had been made for the next story by the same au- thor, declined either fo affirm or deny. The great success of ‘‘Sentimental Tom- my” probably originated an exaggerated rumor. It is the common rule of publishers—and itis a rule thatis glrtumluly rasping to the writer with any instinct of an artist in him—to pay by the yard, at least by the thousand words. It was with this rule in view that the fact of Charles Dickens re- ceiving $5000 for 7000 words was mentioned. Anthony Hope refused, not long ago, an offer of $750 for a short story. Here is an- other gauge of market rates, for ‘‘a short story'’ means from 3000 to 4000 words. It is fair to Mr. Hope to say that he was priced at $200 a thousand word: That gives us the first intimation that is rising, for something less than three years ago (October, 1893) Mr. Howells wrote that tbree American men were commonly paid at the rate of $100 a thousand words for their contributions to the magazines, while one woman received ationality bas nothing to do with prices, of course, so the inference is that the market for strictly first-class writers of magazine stories has h. ed to the ex- tent of at least 3314 per cent.—New York Sun. ————— The First Screw Collier.

The John Bowes was built as far back as 1852, and has not only the distinction of being the pioneer screw collier, but she was the first vessel turned out of the noted Jarrow shipyard by Sir Charles Mark Palmer, and 'was, moreover, the first steamer fitted with Nevada,’ a double bottom for water ballast.—Ship- ping World. ' ELECTRI0 SHOOK VIOTIMS. A French Authority Prescribes a Form- ula of Ireatment, Oneof the contingencies of modern civil- ization which is almost entirely new, and is wholly dependent upon the develop- ment of modern industry is the treatment of accidents from electric shocks, says the Medical Record. The matter has been discussed quite thoroughly by physicians in this country, but it has been worked out perhaps more systematically by Dr. D’ Arsonval of Paris, who has recently made a report to the Academie de Medicine of Paris upon the method &f treating persons injured by electrical shocks. D’Arsonval states that electricity causes death sometimes directly by the disruptive and electrolytic effecis of the charge on the tissues. This death 1s final. It sometimes, however, causes death indirectly by arrest of respiration and syncope, caused by stimulation of the nerve centers. Under these circumstances a person muf be revived if proper meas- ures are applied, The formula for reviving the victim of electric shock is this: The person so dis- abled should be treated like one drowned ; in other words, he should be laid upon the back and artificial respiration performed in the way that is ordinarily prescribed. Some further practical advice, however, is given to those who are called at once to the scene of the accident and af the time when the person is perhaps still in contact With the wires. Of course, the first thing to be done is to stop the current or break the contact. In doing the latter one should not touch the victim on the face or hands or any naked part of the body. 1t is better to lift him by the coat-tails or 1o throw a blanket over him, and pull him by this. Nothing that is wet shouid be thrown upon him, and if his clothes are wet the hands should not be put in contact with them. A piece of dry wood can be placed under the body and he can then be lifted. The further treatment of the case is the familiar one applied in attempting to restore the drowned. The arms are worked and the tongue is kept drawn out; the body may sometimes be rubbed thoroughly with a clotn or brush in order to increase the cir- culation of the blood. Oxygen and per- haps a stimulant may be employed. NEW TO-DAY? EDITOR BARRY'S STAR Treats the Local Political Situations in His Usual Forcible Style.

IF SICK, Why Not Get Cured? 5 (G R SWEANY, He Has Cured People All Around You. READ THIS LETTER. San Francisco, Cal., September 25, 1896. I, Mrs. Agnes Feely, living at Silver Heighths, San Francisco, desire to say that I brought my child, Agnes, aged 12 years, to the office of Dr. F. L. Sweany, 737 Market street, S. F., she being afflicted with a malady of the right'eye. I had previously taken her to our family doctor, who said he was at a loss to say what the precise trouble was, or how to remedy it, Doctor Sweany at once stated my child’s case to be one of kera- titis. My child was totally blind in that eye at the first visit, September 18, 1896. Now, on September 25, she can see per- fectly out of the eye. I heartily appreciate the rapid cure of this serious eye affection, a great matter for a child anxious to pursue school studies, and I have offered to testify this much on behalf of kindness and skill so effectively rendered by Dr. Sweany. MRS. AGGIE FEELY, Silver Heights, City. Thousands of similar genuine and unsolicited testimonials on file at Dr. Sweany’s private of- fice.
