PHELAN IS GRATEFUL R. H Webster Gets the Nomination for Superintendent of Public Instruction. Mum was the word at last night's ses- sion of the Citizens' Non-Partisan Conven- tion. The ha!l of the Academy of Sciences ffoeation, and the most pparent. until the nominations were called for. Then the ced amid much clamor and finally all but the dele- iuded. chairman of the committee resented the following was crowded to vivid ihterest w helps, —Washington Dodge. John Lachmann.

B. Perkins reported that Nominees lan, Wetmore, Block, Broderick, Wid- and Creswell had signed the pledge ted by the conve . in favor of the med City : Recorder, T. J. Glynn; Sheriff, rd L Whelan; Public Adeinistrator, Freese; Coronor, W J. Hawkins, M., C. Haley for County Clerk. They e forthwith nominated by acclamation. 1dwig Altschul submitted a resolution ecting the chairman of the Uounty nmittee to call the committee together months before the next election to ngurate the campaign and to act in- endently of the other conventions. his resolution was adopted. nominations then proceeded. 1 Director the names of For of R. H. Madison Babceck and Charles Stone were suggested, the balloting g as follows: Webster 30, Babcock ne 2. Mr. Webster’s nomination eclared unanimous. ay Henley introduced James D. rela he convention nominee for Mayor, vas received with cheers. He said he had not prepared a speech, but he woula do his best to show his thanks to the convention for nominating him. Nominatious for Supervisors were then called for. Mr. Eilert moved that the rule r iring a two-thirds vote be dispensed This caused some controversy. e wanted to delay matters, and Ellert caid he would resign if the nominations were put over. atters speedily assumed a threatening pect, but at length, after much speech- ing, it was decided to go into execu- session for the purpose of passing pon the merits and demerits of the pro- osed nominees. st béfore the public and press repre- ives were excluded from the hall Denicke presented the following list candidates for nomination to the office chool Director: H. L. Curtis (R.), Jeremiah Coffey (D.), Halstead (R.), H., C. Henderson (R.), K R.), George Lent (D.), C. H. ot McAllister (D.), Andrew William A. Plenket (D.), W. A. 2. Dr. J. . Soper (R, Wallace Brad- r. ) When, aiter nearly three hours of wait- 7, the do were opened =n attempt as made to proceed to the nomination of pervisors. nk J. Sullivan moved that the list oted on as a whole. This called forth a storm of opposition and the list was taken up seriati The uproar was in- scribable. Lawrence Devaney’s friends emed at one time to have secured his mination, but the cry of ‘rushing rough’ was raised, and the convention proceeded to review the other names. Mr. Van Pelt was strenuously opposed y supporters of Dr. Rettanzi, while the me or L. J. Truman was shouted down friends of Dr. Clinton, who seemed ry much in the majority. No hope appearing that any practical result could be gained, and it being already midnight, the convention adjourned until this evening, the entire matter of Supervisorial nominations being post- poned until then.] b S o NON-PARTISAN BOSSES. Scheme to Secure Another Demo- cratic U. S. Senator—Repub-~ licans May Boit. There is lack of harmony in the Non- Partisan Convention on the proposition to nominate or indosse candidates for the Senate and Assembly. It was understood by many of the appointed delezates— among those who had acted with the Re- publican party on State and National questiops—that the convention would not go farther than the nomination of a municipal ticket. The 1mpression is very strong that Frank Sullivan, who is J. D. Phelan’s brother-in-law, and Barciay Henley pulled the Non-Partisan_string 1n the beginning to help Phelan. . Now there is a growing suspicion that Democratic aspirants for he United States Senate are secking to maniptlate affairs so as to prevent the Re- publicans from gaining the Legislature. The pretext advanced for interfering in the contest for the Legislature is that pledges 1o support the new charter are de- manded in the event of that instrument going before the Legislature. The constitution provides that a char- ter accepted by the voters of a city must be ratified by the Legislature in order to become a Jaw. The Legislature cannot amend it. It must accept the charterasa whole or reject it. Republicans who were at first inclined to Jend their support to the Non-Partisan scheme, hoping that better municipal government might be secured by such support, perceive now the cunning work of crafty Democratic politicians, and are ready to swing back into the regular Re- vublican column. The Non-Partisans to-night may go ahead with the legislative ticket, but the scheme is so transparent that few Repube licans will be deceiy e A e A e A A e e A e A A A A A A A A A 0UR GREAT OCTOBER SALE GOMMENGED TO-DAY!

Is Arrayed in a Singular Garb and Wears Long Hair and Beard. FASTS FORTY DAYS AT A TIME. Was Born in Wisconsin, Is 26 Years 0.d and Has Treated Thou- sands Daily. August Schrader, known as “ibe divine healer,” arrived here yesterday after a tour in the East and South, during which, as he claims, be cured many thousands of people by the laying on of hands. In Texas and New Mexico the railroads ran special excursion trains, each arawn by two lucomotives, and thronged with people to see Schrader. He is a singular-looking man, with full | brown beard and long, dark brown hair. His forehead is high, but he is uneducated. He dresses in a long black gown, wears a | high white collar and from his breast hangs a silver cross with the figure of Christ upon it. Diagonally across his breast is a band of black cloth with the words “Schrader, the Divine Healer.” | When he went on Market street yester- day after his arrival great crowds foliowed him, and when he returned to the Inter- national Hotel, where he is staying, many persons followed him there. Schrader, with his loug hair and beard and his com- manding stature, looks at first glance like a man 40 years old. His story is an odd one, with some of it scarcely credible. Said he to a CaLn representative: “I was 25 yearsold in July last. I was born in Manitowoc County, Wisconsin, on the peninsula between Green Bay and Lake Michigan. Itisa rough, mountain- ous section. My parents are German and came from Berlin. I never went to school a day in my life; but, nevertheless, I learned to read and write. “] have a power given me of God to cure all diseases, no matter if the ailment is blindness or paralysis. I found I pos- old, and 1 began at once to use it. This caused unusual interest there. Then I went out in the mountains, among the fir and hemlock trees, and fasted forty days and nights. This afterward brought enormous crowds to see me. Since then I have fasted evsry year for forty days and nights. Some people think this can’t be done, but I do it. 2 “As many as 7000 people in a day have been treated by me.

MANHATTAN CLUB. A First-Olass Boxing and Wrestling En- tertainment on Mission Street. The Manhattan Athletic Clib, 1749 Mission street, gave an excellent boxing and wrestling entertainment last evening before a large gathering of members. The programme was as follows: Wrestl- ing by Hoffman and Huderbrandt of the San Francisco Turners, Davis and Meagles of the Columbia Athleiic Club, Paul Den- hardt and Robert McCrossen of the Man- hattan Club. of the evening between F. Muller of the Manhattan Club and J. McQueeny of the San Francisco Athletic Club being a most exciting event.

Good hard The boxing was first-class, the wind-up ’ punching prevailed from start to finish. I was a four-round *go.” 5 A. Cohen and W. Brown, Wigeins and Schoenfeld and Heeney and ey also gave a first-class fistic enter- tainment. George Ferris was master v ceremonies, and William Daly as referce ga ve general satisfaction in his decisions. Zante Currants Again. The famous Zante currant case which oceu- pied the attention of the United States Circuitv Court for several weeks during the earlier part of the year, is to be gone over again. 5.L. Jones & Co.. the importers, who brought the original action, are not satisfied with the deci- sion of Judge Morrow Whereby they were com- pelled to p-{ a duty of one and a half cents per pound on all Zante currants brought to Yesterday their attorney filed an appeal in the United States Court of Apveals, not be reached for se . In the meantime an effort is being made by New York ies to Test the law in that State.

TRYING TO COVER UP THE SCANDALS The Board of Health Comes in for Condemna- tion. The Receiving Hospital Should Be Open to Newspaper Men. PROTECTION TO EMPLOYES. Mayor Sutro Siys That All Public Institutions Shou'd Be Wide Open to Reporters. The evident intention of the Board of Health to prevent any scandal that may hatch in the Receiving Hospital through the treatment of patients or their belong- ings by employes from coming to light by passing a rule preventing any one from having access to the operating-room has aroused widespread indignation. In years gone by stories that have shocked ibe community have found their way to the surface through the hospital being made a secret place screened from the observation of the public, and those who understand the manner in which hospitals are conducted freely pre- dict that just such stories will bs afloat again if the order of the board is carried into effect. 4 The health authorities do not seem to realize tnat the presence of outsiders, par- ticularly newspaper reporters, is a protec- tion to the employes. A case in point was that of a, young woman who was brought in a few days ago suffering from poison. 3 In order to discover her identiiy her purse was opened in the presence of a couple of reporters in the hope that some of her cards might be in ixn. The coin pocket was examined, and it was seen by all that there was but 65 cents contained there. After the patient had been taken home her mother led at the hospital and claimed that her daughter's purse had contained several dollars in silver when she was taken to the hospital. It was not loni ago that a great scandal arose over the loss of the clothing and other effects of a man who was first taken to the Receiving Hospital and later, when he died, to the Morgue. The officials of each 1nstitution claimed that the others were responsible for the loss. Further back still, when the hospital was in the old City Hall, the loss of a large sum of money that was known to have been on the person of a patient when he was taken in caused an investigation that threw much odinm on the hospital employes. The general impuuin'g is that the Board of Health has made a false move—one arising more from ignorance than nng thing else—and one that can y fail breed scandals in the hospital. ; “] am heartily 'in favor of allowing re- porters in all public institations and giv- 1ng them every opportunity for the fullest investigation of everything pertaining thereto,” said Mayor Sutro yesterday. *Reporters are the of the public, and they see for the public. There is no ublic aving its workings open to the newspa- per men, and I am heartily in favor of let- iing them see everything there is to see ng‘d giving them all the information avail- able.” “There may be some things in a hos- pital particularly where women are taken that it would be well to exclude from free observation, but asa general proposition pablic institutions should be wide open to reporters.”’ BEHIND THE BARS. Mrs. Maud Ballington Booth Speaks of Her Prison Mission at Met. roplitan Temple. Mrs. Maud Ballington Booth of the Vol- unteers of America made her second ap- pearance at Metropolitan Temple last evening. She immediately launched out upon her particulsr mission — the needs of the prisoners—and spoke feelingly of how much real beneficial work there was to be done behind the gloomy bars. “I have been saddened,” said she, “to see that which was wrecked, ruined and tossed away. Iremember once I walked on the seashore where lay great numbers of dead butterflies. The pretty painted things had winged their way from the flowery shore far over the sun-tinted sea, but the cruel waves caught them and they were washed, drenched and broken up on the beach. stitution that is not better for| I have seen a beautiful shell shattered and the fairest flower withered in its beauty. So I have stood by the side of the blighted lives with hope all gone and the future all but dead. Then I have looked up in the sky when hope was deathless, where the future lay all in its golden sunshine, and I felt that blighted lives could be restored.” Mrs. Booth told how she had studied the prisoner problem long before she took up the work. S8he did not stuay it from E:“I literature or with lawyers, but on r knees, and she found a way to effectu- ally reach the better nature of the con- vict. —_———— Large Bunches of Grapes.
