THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, MONDAY, OCTOBER 19, 1896. FORTUNES FOUND IN THE ARGENTINE Big Money Being Made in Wool, Cattle and Wheat. Protessor MacManus on the Queer Experiences of the Republic. DEPRECIATED PAPER MONEY. Worta Oaly 35 Cents, but Performs Singular Purposes Within the Country’s Boundaries. A distinguished party of gentlemen from Buenos Ayres, Argentine, are at the California, on a tour of the world. The party consists of Dr. F. R. Leloir, a lead- ing jurist and extensive land-owner; A. C. Leloir, his cousin; Professor Patrick Mc- Manus of the chair of English in the Ar- gentine National College, and Consul- General Carlos Roht, who represents his country in New York. The gentlemen crossed the Andes to Chile, visited Bolivia, Peru, Ecuador and ia, crossed and recrossed the Isth- -3 Professor Patrick McManus of Buenos Ayres, Who Tells of the Great Prosperity in Ar- gentine, [Sketched from life by @ “Call” artist.) mus of Panama, visited the Central Amer- ican States and made a considerabls trip through Mexico. Then they went to the biz cities of the East and are now bound to China, Japan, India and other coun- tries, expecting to be absent a year and & half and to finally cross from Paris to Argentine. “It will surprise you to hear what pros- perity we now have in Argentine,” said Professor MacManus Saturday. ‘It has recovered completely from the collapse which occurred six yearsago, and business is going forward steadily. ‘“We have been on a gold basis for twenty years. We had and vet have sub- sidiary silver mines the same as in the United States, but during the boom we issued paper money so freely that at Jength we couldn’t meet our obligations, and it bad to be passed as a forced cur- rency. All our silver coin disabpeared from night to morning. It was hcarded, and, as for gold, which we needed in the transaction of our foreign business, it had to be bought. “Our paper dollars went down so that they were worth but 25 cents each in gold. To-aay they are worth 35 cents each, and are going up, though the government never promised to redeem them. The paper has been of immense advantage to us. “Labor there is performed almost solely by Itaiians, They get $40 a month in the aper money. Bit one of their paper dollars will buy as much beef, wheat or any other product< as the gold will buy here. There are 100 cents in each of those doilars so far as 1ts use in Argentine is concerned. They answer the purposes of business admirably. ] “The biggest money there is now being made out of ecattle-raising, wool-raisin: and the growing of wheat. For these branches of industry there are large prof- its. Fortunes arz being made out of them each year. A good ranch of, say, nine squares miles, close to Buenos Ayres, will rent for $40,000 a year. I would not advise any young pro- fessional men—as, for instance, lawyers and doctors—to go to Argentine. The country is literally full of them. There are big colleges there and they are turn- ing them out by thousands every year. If a man full of health has a little money he can go there and make money in sheep, cattle or wheat raising, but notin the pro- fessions. Argentine is very similar to Celifornia_in its climate and in its re- sources. It is a charming country io live in.” HORSEMEN GETTING IN. A Number of Bookmakers and Jockeys Arrive ¥rom st. Louis. Another detachment of turf devotees ar- rived from the Kast vesterday. Among them were Willie Harris, the well-known steeplechase rider; Hughey Jones, the bookmaker; “Doc” Leizh, a brother of Eugene Leigh; L. Tayon and W. McFar- lane, employes of Barney Schrieber; Wil- liam Barr and Arthur Dexter. George Cochran, the steeplechase jockey, came over the mouantains with the party, but stopped over at Sacramento, J. Cochran, the father of the steeplechase rider, and “‘Humpty Dumpty’’ Earl Cochran, the at rider, left 8t. Louis for California last night. Henry Forslant, the form book man, is also back from St. Louis overflowing with information that he thinks will result in pecuniary gain this coming winter. Bookmaker Johnny Coleman, very pop- ular with local racecorrs, who has been enjoying a season of hunting and fishing at” Lake Tahoe, landed at the Oakland ferry last evening with a biz bagiul of wild gawe, looking every inch a market hunter. A friend of the pencillers states that Johnny told him he hooked one trout that had sixteen silver speckles on its sides and one gold one on its bead. Of course, as he was caught in the State of Nevada this can hardly be taken as a fish yarn. A recently-arrived Montana horseman is authority for the statement that the French plunger Pierre Wibaux will be in California by November 1, fuliy equipped for another tussle with the book-making fraternity. The refusal of the California Jockey Club to accept the entries of Will Wallace and its avowed intention to exciude Riley Grannan from its course are decr’ed on ail sides and wiil bave a tendency to add still further to the druovmf popularity of the track acrossithe bay. Itwould not be sur- prising if the Southern horsemen were to declare a boycott on the California Jockey Club folks. GUN AND GAME. Slight Improvement in Yesterday’s Bags—No Trouble as Yet With Preserve Lessoos. Quite & number of local sportsmen re- turned last nizht from the Suisun, So- noma and San Pablo marshes. The increased wind yesterday has ap- parently resulted in somewhat improved bags, as many as thirty quail having fallen to one exceptionally fortunate Nim- rod. Several report average bags of fifteen birds each, while others again have been less successful. The entire district between Tiburon and San Rafaei is said to be fairly overrun by quail and duck shooters, who are largely availing themselves of the facilities which the San Francisco ana North Pacific Coast Railroad has piaced at their disposal. So far, at any rate, the hunters have Lad no trouble with the lessees of preserve lanas in the vicinity of Suisun, but of course there is no telling what the morrow may bring forch in this respect. > BISE HITS N BUADLES Yesterday’s Ball Game Charac- terized by Runs Scored in Bunches. Enthusiasm and Interest in the Sport Increasing as the S:eason Wanes. What at first glow appeared, in pros- pect, an easy victory for the lmperials yesterday turned out to be a crushing de- feat. In the first inning the leaders in the league race sized up “‘Scissors’’ Cooney for five hits, one a double and two triples, and piled up five runs. After that, how- ever, they were unable to bunch their swats, with the result that the 8an Fran- ciscos overcame their lead and at the end won by a big margin. The local men were first at bat and placed four tallies to theircredit on a base on balls, Krug’s base for being hit by a pitched ball and hits by Murphy and Sweeney. The Imperials then score i five | on the batting streak already mentioned, and added another in the second on Creamer’s single and Wilds’ two-bagger, but that endea their successes. The locals, by a combination of fielding | errors and a safe arive by Leonard, gou Sweeney around the circuit in the third, and in the sixth tied the score, without making a hit. In the seventh Monahan and Murphy safely completed the journey around the bags, and in the eighth Iberg and Cooney placed two more earned runs with the coilection of the locals. The final inning ~as barren of results. Following is the official score: SAN FRANCISCOS. A.B. R. B.JL S.B. Monahan, s. 5. 2 Krug. c. ro. ¥ ..

The concluding cricket match of the long-drawn-out contest for the Hunter- Harrison silver cup was played yesterday at the Alameda grounds. It was between the Pacific and California teams, and re- sulted in an easy victory for the former by 153 runs. In justice to the defeated side it is only fair to record that they had but ten men to put in the field, four of whom were substitutes. Going in first, on the choice of their opposing chief, the Californias compiled & modest 56—Gellatly, in a nondescript way, scoring the maximum total. When it is noted that the first.to bat fer the victors scored 86 off his own bat, aa- ditional comment is hatdly called for. The following full scores speak for them- selves: CALIFORNIAS. J. B.

Sanborn, Vail & Co., 741 Mar- o slreet NO WAVY PLUMES O PRETTY HEADS Society Belles and Matrons Discuss the The- ater Hat. To Wear a Small Bonnet or No Bonnet at All, a Moot Question. WILL THE GENTLEMIN WAIT? Aigrettes Must Go, for the Comfort of Others Is Fashion’s First Consideration. If there is any foundation for truth in the generally accepted idea that fashion can mar or make &' custom, then the big hat at the theater is doomed. Society will have no more of it. With- out a funeral note or a single tear its ban- ishment has been proclaimed, and there is only sorrowing in the world of the comic (?) weekly paper and the habitual grumbler’s retreat. Like the Moor the artists of the humorous sheets and their discontented brethren find their occupa- tion gone. It would be but natural should Manager Bouvier of the Baldwin claim for himself this great fin de siecle triumph—the de- struction of the big theater hat. It would be natural, but hardly fair. The time was ripe. His nolite reminder as to the rights and comfort of otherswas only the proverbial last straw that broke the camel’s back. The big-hat problem has proved among other things tbat all this talk of the self- “The Realization of a Dream.” This gentleman paid for a seat and got more than he bargained for— hence his cheerfulness. fshness of society is a delusion and a snare. There is no denying it. The big hat is picturesque, and what is more, becoming, and when the bud or the belle or the matron slipped out her hatpins and put her hat in her lap she did a noble thing. There are many sides to the moot hat question. First of all it is a case of hat or no hat. Then there is the interesting sub- ject of “‘dressing-room,” and last but not least the all-important factor, the fitness of things. As it is to society that suffering man- kind will owe the inestimable favor of the banishment of the millinery tower from the theater, so it is to society all must look for the ultimate decision of the all- absorbing question. ‘With this end in view ten of our most prominent society bellesand matrons were interviewed, and their lack of hesitancy in dealing with the intricacies of the vexed question clearly showed that they had giyen the subject much deep thought, and they expressed themselves decidedly, tersely and plainly. Itisoniy a few evenings ago that Miss Elizabeth Carroll sat behind a big hat, “We speak from experience,” say many society ladies. and perhaps that had something to do with the forcible manner in which she de- clared for “no hat at all.” “No hats of any description, or bonnets either,” said Miss Carroll. *“Not only do they shut off the view of the stage, but they make you so nervous dodging from side to side that you also miss every word of the nlay. I would have every one take their hats off just before the curtain rises and hold them on their laps. The hair is dressed so severely plain just now that there is no necessity for a glass,”’ Miss Jennie Blair says ‘“all hats must go.”” “For’ argues the popular belle, “no matter how big that hat you may have on you sre discontented and angry if you sit behind a bonuet that incon- veniences your vision. Evervbody in the theater is entitled 10 an unobstructed view of the stage, and consideration for the comfort of others should always be our first thought. The little bonnet is frequently as nnnoying as a big hat. I have dodged from side to side behind a harmless-looking aigrette, so speak from experience.” Mrs. Downey Harvey is an enthusiastic supporter of the small theater bonnet. A fion&m built on such lines that there will be no plumes or aigrettes to dodge. “Ido not consider it correct form to wear no hat with the usual dark costume one ‘wears at the theater. No hat is only av- propriate with full dress, and I for one always feel extremely awkward wi down the center aisie muffled to my throat and no hat on. I believe one should wear ~ ~ a small hat tbhatwill 1n no possible way obstruct the vision of those behind you. Everybody is entitled to an unobstructed view of the stage and has a perfect right to demand of the one seated in front to re- move her hat if it in any way annoys them ,” & Miss Isabel McKenna also favors the small theater bonnet. Miss McKenna ob- jects to removing her hat at the theater. “To go to the play,” says Miss McKenna, “without a hat on one should go in a car- riage, and it is not every one who can afford a carriage every time they can af- ford to go to the play. But I snould alwavs counsel a tiny hat that would not possibly inconvenience anybody.” Mrs. K. B. Pond has looked or: the ques- tion from many sides and expects fashion to come to the rescue in introducing a head covering t may be removed with- out the assistance of a glass, Says Mrs. Pond: *I believe it will be fully as pleas- ant for the women as for the men if every one should remove their hats. I do not fancy leaving the hats in a dressing-room. The men would never wait for us until we AL S A L o e e TADE® WAT-ROY —/ Q “The men would not wait for us to put our hats on after the play,” said Mss. E. B, Pond. (=i got our hats back after the play, and 1 am sure they would never take us more to the theater. [ feel confident, however, fash- ions will come to our rescue and invent & convenient head dress that may be easily removed. Yes, I want all hats, small or large, off.” 8 Miss Laura McKinstry, with her usual consideration for the comfort of others. always removes her hat. ‘‘All hats off,” says Miss McKinstry, “and, don’t you know, I think all women look much pret- tier so.” Mrs, Southard Hoffman thinks we should in_all things be prompted by our consideration for the comfort of others, and advocates either hats off or a small bonnet that will inconvenience no one. Mrs. Darling favors a small bonnet, with neither plumes nor aigrettes that might prove an annoyance to the one behind you. “If the dressing-rooms were like in Engiand,” save Mrs. Darling, “large and well lighted, [ shoutd be in favor of re- moving all’ hats. When the hair is elab- orately dressed a glass is absolutely neces- sary for removing the hat. As we have no conveniences in the theaters here I de- clare for small bonnets, without plumes or aigrettes—just a bow ard a flower. They will inconvenience no one.” Mrs. Evan J. Coleman favors no hats at all at the theater. ‘‘No hats at all,” says Mrs. Coleman, ‘“‘means comfort for all, and, to my way of thinking, is a very pretty sig t.”’ Miss Carrie Gwin believes the present style of coiffure is much t.osevere to look pretty, and therefore favors small flat hats, with neither bows nor feathers nor aigrettes that might obstruct the vision. “A little hat that will inconvenience no one,” says Miss Gwin, *‘is my choice.” Thonghtfulness must rank first among Mrs. Jewett’s many qualities. So it is not surprising that she advocates no hats at the theater. “I am strongly in favor of the ladies wearing no hat whatsoever at the theater,” says Mrs. Jewett. “There is always the chance that you may be ob- structing somebody’s view of the stage, 8o to be on the safe side, I say no hats, no SERMONS 81 VISITORS The Local Presbyterian Pulpits Supplied From the Synod. Congregations of the Bay Cities Listen to Discourses by Promi- nent Ca ifornia Divines. The services in the Presbyterian churches of this city were unusually interesting yes- terday.

HIS WAS ALMOST A DEAD CENTER J. Wollmer Won First Prize at the Califernia’s Shoot. Lively Contests for Medals at the Shuetzen Park Rifle : Range. MARKSMEN AT SHELL MOUND Company I Carries Off the Obermeyer Trophy—Cap‘ain F. Kuhnle Is Still in Good Form. Bchuetzen Park, near San Rafael, wasa scene of activity yesterday, and Captain Fred Schumann, the proprietor of the premises, was kept busy all day attending to the comfort of his guests. It was the last of the picnic season, and the captain decided that he would give the last pic- nic. It was a success, for by ncon there were 1200 people in the park, and thenext train swelled the number to 1500. There was dancing in the pavilion and bowling in the alley, and above the sounds of mer- riment was the spiteful crack of dozens of target-rifies on the shooting-range. At noon the centers of attraction were the tables in the dining hall and the lunch- baskets in the arbors and under the oaks. As suggested, it was a lively day in the shooting-range, several clubs holding their regular cash prize and medal contests. The California Schuetzen Club held its regular bullseye shoot, twenty shots to each marksman. Tne high man of the day was J. Wollmer, a comparatively new rifle shot. His best bullet was within Captain Fred Schumann of the Schuetzen Park Rifle Range. .0052 of an inchfrom the dead center, as shown by the measuring machine. This shot won for him $4. P. Brunotte made twelve of the twenty builseyes and only succeeded in winning fifth prize. The other prize-winners, in their order, were as follows: J. Wollmer 52 points, J. Utschig Jr. 100, J.

The Members of the California Club to Meet on Saturday. Yesterday before the fog set in a num- ber of fly-casters who belong to the Cali- fornia Club were at the western end of Stow Lake, practicing, preparatory to tak- ing part in the contest’ to be held there next Saturday afternoon. This wili be the last of a series of ten contests inaugurated by the club some time ago. At the close a medal will be awarded to eacl of the three who make the greatest number of wins. A good deal of interest has been taken by sportsmen in these contests, and the officers of the club are of the opinion that there will be some very long casts, and posvibly some record-breaking. On the 7th of next mownth there will be a grand event at the lake under the auspices of the club. It will be a long- distance casting contest, open to all com- ers. A number of individuals who are known to be experts in whipping the line and who had been barred in the club con- tests by reason of not being members have signified their intention of exhibit- ing their skill. — —-— Held Up by a Crazy Man. A man by the name of Riordan had a thrill- ing experience with acrazy man on the cor- ner of McAllister and Laguna streets last night. Just as he reached the corner of the last-uamed street & man ordered him to throw up his hands. Instead of obeying, however, Riordan showed fight, whereupon the stranger took to his heews. Officers Benjamin and Clancy captured the man and at the City Prison he was identified as W. F. Barrett, who gained some notoricty during the Durrant trial. Barrett, it will be remembered, created a scene in court by dec aring his belief in the innocence of the young student. He was ar- rested, tried beiore toe Insanity Commission and committed to the Napa Insane Asylum. Barrett was discharged about three weeks ago as cured. Itis now thought that the old mal- ady has returned, though this time it has as- sumed a dangerous form.
