THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 29, 1896. VITRIOLIC WORDS Reviews 'in Denunciatory - :Style the Growth-of - ‘'HOT SHOT ALL' ROUND, . Candidates. for * Oifice: Come In for a Large- Share of Attention. " QUESTION FOR U. L. TAYLOR. " He Js Asked if H:> Will Accept the Indorsement of the Citizens’ Party. ‘Father Yorke, ift bis fifth lecture of the series of six to be delivered at Metropoli- tan Hall under tHe auspices of the Ameri- . “can*Woman’s Liberai Iieague, was more than- usually. vitriolic“last night. His subject was “The Growth ot the Upas .Tree’ the name of this-noxious and deadly tree being intended to apply to the ‘AL P. AL Misic in the shape of patriotic airs on the organ opened the exercises. Barrétt, chairman of the evening, in his address spoke as follows: “The first.impulse of the American peo- ple’at the approach of peril is high and lofty “defiance. Tt is a . feeling - well grounded ani deep rooted.” ‘After a triblite to the heroism.of those who fought in the various wars of this country, he declared that the American women ‘were not less hergic when occasion required a demonstration of.it. ‘He spoke of the work of the Woman’s Liberal League 1n exposing the A. P. A., and added: ; By them was the defense of religious liberty begun, and. to them:is due a large share of the glorious victory.:--And now they are doing noble :work in-that .last and most bungling conspiracy—the new charter.” This instrument, heé said, had many good points. and was advocated by many of the best-men in the community.- *“One mischievous provision,” " he continued, “‘overbalances every good point in that instrument. It attempts to interiere with ~ the God -given i right” of the parent - " to control the eaucation of.his child. nates.: Graduates in other schools than those of California are prevented .Irom earning a living in this Statein the ran ks of the teachers in our public schools.” After declaring that this provision was unconstitutional he said ‘the best methoa to remedy the wrong contemplated was to defeat the charter. -Then taking . a new theme he said: ‘‘Three years ago we stood facetoface with a formidable foe arrayed .against the constitution and ‘the church. -We were dumb with fear and recognized-the danger. ‘Let the tempest waste. its fury,’ was the sentiment of all.~ Already it bad emptied the cupboard - af . .the poor. Already - the demoniac = fiend bad dared fo ~whisper iis suspicion of God’s best and most beloved. Already it had ventured the insult which no man can stand. . Up against the muititude rose a great defender—youthful, alone, fresh from the cloister, but he stood firm and defiant. We gazed' with awe and pity. He ‘meets the joremost of the leaders and vanquishes him. Others crush for ward, but they too are .conquered. We fear for him, but he fights bravely. His firm blade mightily wielded -mows them down. Confusion spreads among.them and. they are routed. - [Applause]. -The gallant stripling, the watchless warrior, the’ consecrated thunderbolt, was Peter C. Yorke. *'If the day ever comes in this -City- when that name ceases to be uppermost in every heart we shall be recreant and shall’ deserye the plague whick pe averted.” Before introducing Father Yorke, Mr. Barrett stated that next Mopday’s lecture by Father Yorke would be “TPhe Great Be- traval and the A. P. A. Way of Selling a Gold Mine.” At this juncture Miss Cornelig Stanley read a series of resolutions. adopted at 'a recent nieeting of the ‘Woman's. Liberal Lesgue opposing the new charter, prihci- paily because of the provision regarding, teachers in the public schools. Thie prp- vision, the resolutions. declared, was in-| serted through the inflience of the A.P,A. : Father Yorke spoke in substance as fol- | .. lows: - “‘Ladies and Gentlemen: "In the heat of .that battle which was so eraphically de- - scribed I was not called 86 many names as were applied to. me to-night. & - “Beingstill afflicted with theé- prelude habit, Ig wisn to call attention to thé fact that the Rev. Mx. Fleenor is. stil fleeging and has not yet answered any .of my ques- ,tions. Butl will take pity on him and not ask him any more questions, ‘or tLe “Baptist Ministerial Couneil may. pass.a - vote of confidence in him, and’ that is more than any one ‘can stind in these days. ° - “Now the Rev. Mr. Fleenor has; went, but that little réd patriot, -Major. T C. ° Ryan, has came.” % Father Yorke then read from aletter said to .haye been received from 'the secrela:’y of Major William McKinley. This described ~ Major'. ‘Ryan - .ag chronic office - seeker, and went. on to-say that on the piteous solicitation of Major Ryan a position had been secured for him by Major . McKinley in the pen- sion .office_at *Columbus, and Srom which he had béen dismissed owing to hisin- ability to handte figures correctly. Father * Yorke, after- referring to recent attacks .made on the Republican -Presidential nominee by Ryan, continued as foliows: ““Being . very inaccurate in his, figures, Major Ryan had to go, and has been going. ever ‘since. And this is the man who comes out here.to tell the pecple they are ° being Romanized! "This man, who bit the hand that did him good, is the mau who'! comes out here to stir up Strife. It is this . man, who.cannbt even doa 1 ittle sum in * arithmetic, who comes oui here to teil us about the edycation of otir children. “The subject of the lecture this e’fianins is ‘The Growth of the Upas Tree, ° He described the deadly influence of the noxious exhalations of that tree and-con- tinued: “There has arisen in this coun- ° try a growth that has had the ‘same’effect on morals and politics that this tree is said to havé on.the vegetable kingdom. I « mean that growth known as the A. P. A, “Itisa thing for usto remember that the fight ‘between- bigotry gnd .free- ° dom is not yet ‘over. Some little spark may remain and some passing breeze may resiore it to life. We cannot afford to sleep on our arms. The fight is still on - and we cannot rest nntil we make it cer- . tain® that the A. P. A. ‘will be’ so well known that for’any politician to, touch it will mean defeat. o s . «Every year the farmer has to contenda with 2 new crop of weeds and every year * we have to contend with a new crop of ignorance. The time‘was when ¢hildren were taught- that a Catholic was a dangerous person and one to be most carefully*avoided. But to-day there - would-appear to be no excuse for this - bigotry and this ignorance of us -and our be] ?el. ‘We have not said one word in the The charter ‘thus’ discrimi- | John F. | 1 Paggin, ear that we would not say in the market- place, and there is no ‘excuse for these misrepresentations of the Catholic faith that have been so frequently made of late. “*Organized bigotry comes into service Whenever there is stagnation or political agitation, and it was during one of these veriods of political stagnation that this Present controversy sprang up. “We have on our borders s country which contains a great many good peo- ple, the dominion of Canada. Unforiu- nately that country has always been divided by religious strife. This has been brought here in the track of the Orange- man and the bigot. The leaders of the A.P. A are men who have never assim- ilated the principles of the constitution of ‘the United States. .- “The apostle of the A. P. A.in Cali- fornia was W. J. H. Trainor. He came out” here, went through the State and then went home and told the barbarians of the East that the West was uunder the dominion of the Pope and that Jesuits occupied every fat office. “Trainor is a Canadian Irishman. God help us! It’s bad enough to have to stand Ryan, but 1t is a terrible thing to have to bear the reputation of Trainor. ““The Detroit Trainor wasa saloon-keeper in one of the most disreputable portions of that city. They always find their level. After the two houses—of which we had better not speak—that were on each side of him had been cleaned out by the police he closed up his saloon. Then he became a drummer for & wholesale liquor house, and afterward published a paper, which opposed the license ques- tion, against the temperance people. “Itis ‘this man whom the ministers of this City welcomed and who was the friend and confrere of J. Q. Ananias Henry and C. 0. Brown. At Detroit he started the Hotel Reporter and made it the organ of thieves and others until its publication was stopped by the police.” In speaking of the Standard, published by President Hudelson of the American Protective Association, he said that “‘last week it went to its grave unwept, unhon- ored and its eaitor unhung.” Taylor Rogers, he said, was the man who started the A. P. A. in this City. *That man was a fitiing hen to sit on and incubate such an egg,’”’ he added; and continued: *“The man who accepts the indorsement of the Al A. is worse than an A. P. A. We opposed Mr. Sutro, and we were hounaed for doing so. The first day he took his office he appointed Taylor Rogers his secretary, and the first thing Taylor Rogers did when a few poor women came to the Mayor’s office to beg for some small pittance of charity—the first thing Taylor Rogers-did was to ask them what their re- ligion was.” Thousands and thousands, he said, had been inveigled into joining the American Protective Association, and after attend- ing one meeting and hearing the oath each member was required to take they never attended another. He read what he explained was the A. P. A. oath. It pledged the members of the organization, he declared, to proscribe Catholics politically and commercial Then to emphasize his assertion he sa _.““At the last election James Budd and M. M. Estee were candidates for the Gov- ‘erriorship” of this State. Estee had the misfortune to Lave a Catholic type- writer. The members of the A. P. A. dared to.go to him and tell him to dis- miss his typewriter or he would be put under the ban. ‘He was man enough to tell them to go to Halifax—or some warmer place. ‘‘Before thelast election some 11,000 men were induced to sign their roll and then, thank God, the advisory board sold ont the. 11.,000. After the election they started fighting and have peen keeping it up-ever since. ‘*Were it not that one of their number decured an office of patronage, were it not that County Clerk Curry was successful in that election, many of the members of the A. P: A: wounid have had to starve. “The object of- that American Protec- tive Society is proscription on account oi religious belief. While all the newspapers of this City. know this, tiere was nota man among _them brave enough to say a word againstit. They weie dumb then, and they are dumb to-day gazing at its rotting carcass. “One of them went out of his way to belp them. Mr. J. P. Young [hisses] in the San Francisco Chronicle al- lowed . the blackguards to dump_ their filth into it, as it was, and is, a dump- ing ground, and then refused us the chance to shovel the offal from be- fore our door. TolJ. P. Young belongs the bad eminence of doing more to foster and fatten the A. P. A.than any other single influence. Its swaddling clothes were the Chronicle and its corpse clothes may ‘be the Chronicle. *“The other day there was a convention in this town, of wiich the chairman was T. D. Riordan, When some one in the hall shouted thata candidate wasan A. P. A., Mr. Riordan said that_that con tion knew nothing of the A. P. A. nor did he, #e had better change bis name to Rip Van- Winkle Riordan if he knows nothing of the politics of this City for the last two years. *“The nomiunee of that convention for Mayor was .a Mr. Taylor. As far as I kunow dbout Mr. Taylor, he would not be guilty of the things charged againstthe A Ti.érefore, to-night I wish to put a question- to him which [ think he should answer. ‘At present among the A. P, A, circles there is a grave dispute as to which is the dog.énd which the’ taii, and whether the dog is wagging the tail- or the tail is thie'dog. Ido not ntend to settle the dispute, but this Convention, com- posed of the members of the A. P. A., has presented for Mayor” Mr. Taylor. As yet they bave ot formally notified bim. has not accepted their nomination. It is quite possibte that they offered him the unomination without “asking by and with his leave. Itis known that they naye in- dorsed men in order to beat them. *{f he accepts the nomination of that certain convention—if he accepts the nom- ination ~ of the .so-zalled Citizens’ party—he: said he was wuling to accept the .nominations of all classes of men—1I do. not think he knows the class of men with whom he is dealing. The men who nominated him are-the men who are at the head of the A. P. A. Inow ask him, in the name of the’ citizens here assembled and of this Gity, if he will accept this indorsement?”’ Beiore the_last election, he saia, the A. P. A, distributed printed circulars giv- inzthe various parties and their candi- dates with their religious belief. Protest- ants were marked ‘with a star and Catho- lics with'a dagger. “Mr. Taylor must remember,” he went hgt the men who indorsed him are pledged to- elect a Legislature that will pass a law providing that all chil- dren must be sent to the public schoois at least three months every Year, and that will endeavor to restrict immigration by excluding the Papist, pauper criminal hordes of Enrope. No man of spirit but will give a pledge to oppose these bigoted, proscriptive methods aimed at the Catholic church. Therefore am.1 pushing Mr. Taylor to the wall.”’ ‘Gearge W. Elder 'and County Clerk Curry canie in for criticism and were cuarged with being A. P, A.’s. Referring to the alleged concessions made to the A. P. A. by the various con- ventions, be said: “They do these things not because they love the A. P. A., but be- cause the A. P. A. has votes. Let it be our resolve and the resolve of every honest man that no party can touch the A. P. A. and be “successful. I am making no man’s fight. I do not care who 1s elected to J’“Dm office, because I expect nothing and I will ask pothing. I have no money to make. I hays no am- bition to subserve. But I have this one thing to gain and this one thing to strive for, and I believe you will strengthen my bands: thatno A. P. A. and no A, P, A. indorsee shall lord it in office,” The speaker’s concluding word: : “Let the object of our exfiienvor: ‘t::rfo speak for the consiitution of the United States and the commandments of God. Tnei are always on the one side; they are on the side of justice, liberty and truth."’ —— LOANS On waiches, jewelry, silverware, at Uucle Harrls', 16 Grant avenue, 3 He | to REV. OR. RADER 1S T0 REMAIN The Third Church Will Now Begin Institu- tional Work. HEADQUARTERS NEEDED Congregationalists Are to Co- Operate in Securing a Local Center. METHODISTS TO HONOR LUTHER Reso'utions of Respect for the Late Rev. Mr. M. F. Col- burn, - “‘The Congregationalists are feeling more ard more the urgent need for headquar- ters. It has almost become necessary for us to have a business office where we can find a center.” It was in introducing a motion tending to the establishment of & permanent head- quarters that Rev. Hyman Hood made this statement to the Congregational Mon- day Club yesterday. There wasa full at- tendance of lay and clerical members pres- ent, and all Mr. Hood's remarks were heartily indorsed. His motion, which was carried unanimously, was to invite the following officers, agents, secretaries and societies of the Congregational churches to unite in renting, furnishing and sus- taining of rooms adequate for their several purposes and needs: The proprietor and managing editor of the Pacific, the Con- gregational Club, the superintendent of the Congregational Missionary Home; the Rev.J. K. Harrison,the agent of the Amer- ican Board of Commissioners of Foreign Missions; Rev. W. Freer, superintendent Congregational Sunday-schoolandPublish- ing Company; Rev.L. LWirt, the field sec- retary Congregational Church Building Society; Rev. H. H. Wikoff; the Northern California State Woman’s Home Mission Seciety, the Woman’s Board of the Pacific ; Mrs, H, E. Jewett, president of the Con- gregational Ministerial Relief Society ; Rev. George Mooar, president of the Cali- fornia Missions; the Auxiliary American Missionary Association, Rev. J. K. Mc- Lean. All the above organizations and people will be communicated with by the officers of the Monday Club as early as possible, and the hope was freely indulged in yes- terday by the members of the club that the initiative they are taking will soon result in the Congregationalists of this City having permanent headquarters for the transaction of all business of interest to their denomination. The Monday Club was addressed yester- day by Rev. B. F. Sargent on the theme “¥Faithfulness in the Lord’s Service and Its Final Reward.” Among those present who discussed the paper were Rev. Philip Coombe, Professor Baldwin, Rev. Dr. ‘Wood, Rev. Dr. McLean, Rev. Dr. Chap- man, Professor Ford, Pastor .Birch and Mrs. Sarah B. Cooper. A short address was given by Rev. Dr. Temple of Seattle, who was present as a visitor. Rev. William Rader will to-day cele- brate the first anniversary of his appoint. ment to the pastorate of the Third Congre- gational Church. His congregation, at the snnual meeting, el: cd him per- manent pastor of thechurca, and to-night a reception will be tendered him by his parishioners in honor of the event. Now that Rev. William Rader is thoroughly identified with the workof the Third Con- gregational Church, he intends to branch out further on institutional lines. Classes for study in connection with the church are being organized. Two German classcs bave zlready been formed and there will soon oe a class of Christian Endeavorers engaged in Biblical study. Methodist Preachers. Rev. Dr. Soper, who has been a mission- ary for many years in Japan, gave an address to the Methodist Ministers’ Club yesterday on life in Japan. The death of Reyv. Dr. Colburn was discussed and the following resolutions were unanimously adopted : ‘WHEREAS, The Rev. Marcus F. Colburh, the highly esteemed pastor of Grace Methodist Episcopal Church of this City, has been sua- denly called from the Iabors of Lis mfnistry to his eternal crown of rejoicing; therefore Resolved, That we record our deep sense of 1oss in the death of Brother Colburn and rec- ognize in him a true Christian brotner and hold him in the highest esteem as & pure- minded and heroic worker and that we will ever hold him in most precious memory. Resolved, That our sympathy is hereby ex- tended to the members of Grace Church in'this, their great loss in the death of their pastor. Another subject which occupied the at- tention of the Methodist pastors was the Luther anniversary, which will occur October 30. It was decided to call on all the evangelical organizations in the City to help in making an_event of the cele- bration. Dr. Harris, Dr. Dille and Dr. Case were appointed a committee to con- fer with pastors of other denominations and help to arrange an inspiring pro- sramme. It is intended to hold the cele- bration in some large church or public building in the City. ‘The following officers for the Methodist Preachers’ Club were elected for the com- ing six months: President, Rev. F. T. Masters, D.D.; vice-president, Rev. U. F. Matthews, D.b.; secretary, Rev. D. W. Chilson of the Potrero M. E. Church; pro- gramme committee—Rev. 8. T. Carroll, D.D.; Rev. G. W. Beatty, Rev, F. K. Baker. The announcement is made that Bisho, Newman, the new Methodist Episcopal Bishop, will address the United Preachers’ meetings at the Young Men’s Christian Association building December 7. Presbyterian Union. Rev. O. J. Miller of the Evangelical Lutieran Church addressed the Presby- terian Ministerial Union yesterday on “The Ministry of Power.” He said that a minister’s sufficiency could come only of God and drew a vivid picture of the work that could be accomplished by a conse- crated ministry. ‘“How can we go forth preach uniess we have the spirit of God ?” asked Mr. Miller, and he added that a crucified ministry, one baptized unto sorrows and sufferings, should and could perform miracles as the aposties verformed them. ———— WANT TO REORGANIZE. Pastors Henning and Birch Wil Preach in a Tent. Rev. W. G. Henning, a well-known Congregational pastor of Oakland, and Rev. Willian: Birch have decided to co- operate in church work, They will open the Populist tent on Market street next Sunday for non-sectarian services and will call it the Ciurch of the New Era. The inaugural address will be made by Rev. W. Birch and Rev. J. E. Scott. The latter gentleman is a well-known Presbyterian clergyman of this City who started a lwnkly paper some time ago on socialistic ines. It is stated that a number of influential people are interested in the Church of the New Era. Itis not intended to have any organization beyond a president, who wiil be elected mext Sunday. Pastors Birch and Henning state that in about a month they hope to hire a hali on Barbary Coast and use it as a branch church of the New Era. One feature of the new departure will be that after service there will be a parliament for the discussion of topics of interest to the community. All visitors will be allowed to speak in the parlia- ment. AT THE CITY THEATERS, “ Skadows of a Great City ” Seen With a New Hero at the Grand. Pretty Schoolgirls at the Alcazar. Frawleys in “The Lost Paradise.” The company at the Grand was more in its element last night in *“Shadows of a Great City” than it had been the previous week in *“Mr. Potter of Texas.” The play has plenty of melodramatic situations and itcontains opportunities for scenic display which are not to be found in the drama founded on Gunter’s book. Melodramatic scenes and pieces of startling stage mechanism are the specialty of Manager Morosco’s regime, and last night the audi- ence had its money’s worth of both. The boat scene, with real water, was a particu- larly good piece of staging. Frawley's Farewell Week. At the Columbia last night Blanche Bates not only made love to Dan Frawley, the stage superintendent of a big factory, but she did it in such a way that she knocked out the strike and started the faclory whistles—in other words set all hands 10 work with a 15 per cent advance in their wages. ‘A pretty good night's work_for one girl. It was in the play called “The Lost Paradise,” a name that seemed to have lodged on the piece oy accident. However, the Frawleys chose it for their farewell week and did very well. Aloazar Theater. A good performence of “School” was given at the Alcazar last night. Robertsonian com- edy demands above ali things refinement, and the Alcazar stock company has enough fin- ished players in iis ranks to make a play like “School" go well. One of the special features last night was the presence of & number ot fresh young girls, ‘who made the scenes go with plenty of spirit and who worried the professor with true schoolgirl energy. Tivoli Opera-House. +¢Aida” was given last night at the Tivoli, with the star performers in the cast. Mme. Natali sang the_title role, Bernice Holmes played Amneris, Fernando Michelena was the Radames, and Maurice de Vries end Abramofl completed the fine cast. The opera is beauti- fully staged and is well worth seeing. To&nizm the elternate singers will appear in “Aida.” At the Chutes. They have & novely out at the Haight-street grounds in the form of Delmer, the “Man Frog,” who performs the rather undignified but_funny act of coming down the chutes gn all fours, jumping on an island floating in the lake and going through the most extraordinary contortions. At the Orpheum. The Orpheum bill for this week contains the Hawalian National Band and a new vaude- ville vocalist, Miss Annie Suits. MORE NAMES MENTIONED Progress of the Citizens” Inde- pendent Convention in Its Labors. Candidates Decline and Are Pulled Down—Others Substituted in Their Places. The Citizens’ Independent convention beld another of its protracted sessions last night. Having swept aside the debris left from last week’s sittings the convention started 1n to put the ticket into shape by nomin- ating the following officers: City and County Attorney, J. R. Aitken; Justices of the Peace—J. Kerrj G. W. F. Cook; Police Judges—W. A. S. 1son, H. L. Joachimsen; Superintendent of Schools, R. H. Webster; School Directors—Gustay Peter- son, tanner, on Twenty-ninth street; Richard Pengally, 519 Arkansas street, employed in the Union Iron Works. One of these has been nominated instead of 3. E. Dutton, who declined. The sarae course was taken with the As- semblyman from the Forty-fourth Dis- trict, where Joseph Martinoni was taken down and Joseph Marani substituted in his place. It is the intention of the deiepates to finish their labors at to-night’s sitting and appoint a county committee preparatory to a continuation of the organization as one of the political elements of the City. MONICIPAL TICKET HES. BEEN RECEIVED, COontinved from First Page. to reserve his decision on the filing of certifi- cates of nomination for municipal candidates for office in the City and County of San Fran- clsco was delivered to me this forenoon. The following extract from section 1192 of the Political Code presents the duties of the Registrar in reference to filing certificates of nominations: “Whenever any certificate of nomination is presented for filing to any officer authorized to file the same, such officer shall forthwith, upon receipt of the same and before filing, ex- amine the same,and if there is any defect, omission or reason why the same should not be filed such officer shall then and there forthwith = designate in writ- ing the defects, omission or .reason why such certificates cannot be filed, and re- turn the said certificate to the person present- ing the same, with such written designation of defect, omission or reason for not filing the same.” Itisevident from this section that the Regis- trar cannot grant the delay desired. The righr to filing must be determined by the political statusof the applicant at the time of presenting his certificate of nomination. The action of another convention meeting to-night could not possibly affect the rights of a candi- date of a convention which nominated its ticket on Saturday night last, so that no bene- ficial results can be obtained by delay. Yours respectfully, ‘W. M. HINTON, Registrar. At 10 o'clock in the evening Thomas D, Riordan, J. Alva Watt, Alexander Tru- man and County Clerk Curry called upon the Registrar in his office, the Registrar being a very hard working man, and Mr. Hinton, without any formality, announced that he had made np his mind to accept and file the municipal ticket nominated by the Auditorium convention last Saturday night, but that he kad taken the legislative ticket under advisement, “If the Kelly-Mahoney people bring in their certificates to-morrow they will not be entitled to file them as the Republican ticket?” was asked. “No,” replied Mr. Hinton, “but they may file as National Republicans or by any other name they choose if the law is complied with. There cannot be two tickets of the same party name in the field at the same time.” Republicans were jubilant last night over the fact of the acceptance of the ticket of the regular Republican Conven- tion. They were confident all along that the Registrar would take this course, because there was no zetting behind * the title of the County Committee that called the convention and of the convention itself. prE e Natlonal Repubiicans. The executive and finance committees of the National Republican League met last evening at the Pioneer building, Pres- ident Tirey L. Ford in the chair. Thefol- lowing resolation was adopted : Resolved, That this club is organized and conducted upon National lines and devoted to the success of the Repuplican Presidential Electors in this State. The work undertaken b{ the club is entirely with the laboring class of this City. The finance committee was filled and now consists of Colonel William Mac- donald, Colonel George Stone, Colonel Al- bert E. Castle, Commodore Dan T. Cole, General S. W. Backus and Colonel T. C. Masteller. These gentlemen were authorized to draft a leiter stating that the National Republhican League was allied with no local faction and was working solely for the National ticket. . —_— Spanish-American Rally. The Republican rally at California Hall last evening under the auspices of the Spanish-American Republican League was large and enthusiastic. Thomas B. O’'Brien, the nominee for Congress, re- ceived a warm greeting. He vigorousl denounced Congressman Maguire, ani declared his determination to prosecute his pursuit of the office for which he was nominated with tireless energy. el Ohlo Headquarters.

The Entire Ticket Nominated in One Short Evenirg Under the Baton of Twin Bosses. The Mahoney- Kelly convention con- cluded its labors last evening in B’'nai B’rith Hall. There was no hitch in the pro- gramme until the end, when an ill-advised delegate moved for an adjournment sine die, causing Mahoney to raise his voice for the first time during the evening, crying out: “Bine die, never!l of the chair.” The amendment was carried.

I, Mrs. Agnes Feely, living at Silver Heights, 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.
