The Const Seamen’s Union Does Not Fear a Reduction in the Men’s Pay. A story was circulated hlong the water front yesterday to the effect that the ship- owners are about to make a cut of $2 50 and $5 a month in the sailors’ wages. It | was caused, no doubt, by the attempt of the captain of the coal bark Gatherer to take out a mixed crew on Sunday. Ii | seems that John Cain offered to get a crew D | ¢, o) ¢ | for §2 50 to go on the Gatherer to Puget Sound, the regular wage being $25. He secured the first crew, but the latter, earning of the reduction, went ashore again. Another crew was obtained, but with no better Jasting success. Finally he got together a number of sailors known as the sidewalk brigade, but it is believed that even these were promised regular wages. Another instance of an attempt to reduce sailors’ wages was made on the schooner Charles Hansen. The captain tock two crews, but tney lefi, refusing to go under regular wages, ana it w not until the captain promised the fuli rate, $30, that he was able to secure a crew. Secretary Furuseth of the Coast Sea- men’s Union statea that the union sailors are treating the whole matter asa joke and even at the mweeting last evening the matter was brought up only to be ridi- culed. He said that ihis was the wrong time of the year for shipowners to try to reduce wages. The recent departuré of the deep-water fleet “‘skinned the beach,” so to speak, of all the men who would un- dertake long voyages. Those who have been at work all sum- mer do not care to o to sea in the winter = | time, even at $25 and $30. The cost of oil- skin garments and rubber-boots eats upall of the profits, and the sailors would rather spend their time in town or on farms dur- ing the wet weather. ————— Cord H. Wetjen Club.

KEEPIAG GREEN A NATION'S GLORY Cornwallis’ Surrender Cele- brated by Sequoia Chap- ter, D. A. R. Patriotic Ceremonies in Golden Gate Park Witnessed by Thousands. SYMBOLIC OF AMERICAN UNION Thirteen H'storic Trees Planted in an Arch to Typify the Original States. More than 2000 people assembled in Golden Gate Park on the site of the old Forty-nine Mining Camp yesterday after- noon 10 witness the ceremony of planting thirteen historic treesin a symbolic arch by the members of Sequoia Chapter, Daughters of the American Revolution. Under the direction of Superintendent Mc- Laren trees from each of the thirteen original States of the Union had been set In the ground, and the ladies finished the planting by depositing at each tree earth from some historic spot. Each tree was supported by a tall staff, at the top of which was affixed an Ameri- can shield having across its face the name of the State which the tree represented, while from pole to pole, covering a space 600 feet in width, were stretched many streamers of various colors, while opposite the tree representing Pennsylvania there was a stand profusely decorated with the National colors and American flags. This stand was occupied by the members of the chapter and others who were to take part in the patriotic cercmonies. The First Infantry United States band occupied a position near the stand, while in front of it stood the High School Cadets, Lloyd E. Edwards ptain commanding, number- ing seventy-four rank and file. Atfter the band had played a National air two American flags were unfurled, and these were saluted by the cadets in a man- nerthat drew forth lond Rlaudiu from the spectators. The Right Rev. W. I. Nich- ols, Bishop of California, offerea up a vrayer, fervent and full of patriotism. Then Mrs. Henry Wetherbee said: The exercises for which we are assembled are presumably understood by all who have honored us with their presence, ana I will simply state that the idea of this tree-plant- ing, which shall represent the thirteen orig- inal States, was the ontcome of the planting of asequoia tree by Sequola Chapter in this park April 19, 1894, and was suggested to Mrs. A. 8. Hobbard, our registrar, by Mrs. P. J. Hughes of Pennsylvania. Tnerefore, on be- haif of Sequoia Chapter, the original and mother chapter of this City and State, I bid you welcome. California has always a large Wwelcome for nll that is good, Tor everything that strengthens the bond between her and her older sister States. These trees shall grow and thrfve under our fostering care and in our genial sunshine, until some aay perhaps they may rench & fuller development even than were possible in their native soil. Miss Hattie Vance Martin, in a very effective style, recited ‘‘Under the Stars and Stripes,” an original poem by Abbie Martin Blabon, in which the writer with a great deal of force described the heroes of the Rebellion in their struggles for liberty, and then devoted a few lines to each of the trees donated for the historic arch. The closiag lines of the poem are: lant these thy tributes, Let them rise as trusty wardens of El Dorado's sunset hills— Seasons, lend + our brightest sunshire, send your reires! howers: most. Tl they stand In sisteliest teaucy In this paraaise of ours. And above them float the banner ever borne for ‘rglh‘:;:g "}:;lfi!n” at Yorktown - e LU e en With humsn steel they’re welded In the smoke and dim of war, Then rise, O trees of grandeur, from your coun- try’s patriot sod, "Neath the flag we'll love and honor at the Golden Gate of God. During the delivery and while Miss Martin was addressing the flag, the sun, which had been nid by the fog, broke through the mist and lighted up the scene to the close of the poem. Zenas U. Dodge delivered the oration, which was a masterly effort and was fre- quently applatded. He paid a high tribute to the ladi who were prompted to obserye the one hundred and fifteenth anniversary of the surrender of Cornwallis by the planting of trees in a historicarch. Mons. Marais, representing the French Consul, who was unavoidably absent, in company with William Alvord, preceded by a file of cadets, marched to the Penn- sylvania tree and there mixed with the soil earth taken from the grave of the Mar- quisde Lafayette in the cemetery at Picics, France, ana members of the chapter pro- ceeded to other trees where they deposited earth fror: historic spots, the band the meanwhile plaving La Marsellaise. Mrs. Frank J. French read a poem which she had written, a portion . of which was a reply to Gertrude Atherton’s attack on California manhood, this being loudly applauded. Thelinesare: That the stain on our Western manhood 71 hat & woman’s pen has laid Shou'd by womau's voice be answered. Prior tothe planting of a scion of the historic charter onk by Mrs. Helen A. Hallowell, registrar, and Herbert R. Baker, color bearer of Valentine Holt Society, Children of the’American Revolu- tion, Miss Hallowell said: This littie tree is the productof an acorn grown upon the famous oak, that historical tree of Hartford, in a cavity of which was con- cealed the charter of the colony of Connecti- cut granted in 1687 by Charies 11 of Engiand, the surrender of which James II later d msnded through Sir Edward Andros, Gove: nor. Even at that time the ancient oak ha withstood the tempest for a century and it survived until just forty years ago. It is with patriotic pride that I present it, for that pur- pose, from the Valentine Ilolt Society of the Children of the American Revolution, an or- ganization lormed to perpetvate and keep alive the memories and decds of our sires of & century and & quarter ago, and to inspire in the young feelings of reverence for those noble heroes who with their blood and toil laid the foundation or this glorious nation. The little speaker supplemented her ad- dress with an ode to the Starsand Stripes.

The boys al! over the City con- ing a large number of copies during each afternoon. Last evening a crowd of the boys, under the teadership of the redoubtable “*Happy" Dougherty, marched from the ferry up Market street to Grant avenue with their rude but eloguent banners and mottoes, calling upon tne public to bcycott the ob- jectionabie papers. Ea Wagnver, an ex-newsboy, mounted a dry-goods box and addressed the large audience, explaining thg grievance of the boys and requesting the citizens to with- draw their patronage from the evening journals. i Judge Campbell ‘was expected to have and the pronouncing of the benediction by Rev.

Three Organizations Actively Opposing the S'x Com- panies. POSTERS ON THE DEAD WALLS The Kveng Chow Asylum Hesitates at Putting Up $5000 to Prosecute the Censul. The Chinese Consul-General, Fung Yung Heng, has taken a new tack in his dealing with the hatchet-wielders of the Chinese quarter. They obtained a writ of injunc- tion in the Federal courts; now Heng, acting under the advice of his attorneys, has had twenty John Doe warrants sworn out in the Police Court and placed in the hands of his special officers. Whenever a highbinder makes a dis- turbance or in any wise offers an excuse for one of these warrants to be served on him, he will be booked for vagrgney. By this method it is belieyed the high- binders, being deprived of their leaders, will grow discouragzed and cease their work of murder and blackmail. The Ste Yups have been holding some pretty lively sessions lately and there has been much pow-wowing over an excuse to bave both the Consul-General and Vice- Consul-General arrested and prosecuted. They want the Ning Yung, the KungChow, the Hop Wo and the Sue Hing companies to put up bonds for $400 or $5050 each as a guarantee of a fund to fight the Consul. The treasury of the See Yup Company at vresent is in a depleted condition. Three of the companies have agreed to this propcsition. The Kung Chow was in deliberation over the matter vesterday, but reached no definite conclusion. Last Saturday was the regular day for the companies to pay to the treasurer of the Six Companies the $4 fee imposed on those Chinese who are thinking of taking a trip to the Flowery Kingdom. The Kung Chow made no objection, but the other three companies flatly refused to put up their fee. They say thev are tired of paying money into the coffers of the Six Companies, and are going to try to break them up. Of the four pres'dents of the Bee Yup Association who went into hiding last Friday to escape the bullet or the knife for signing a treaty of peace, one has caused to Ee posted on Chinatown’s dead- walls posters denying that he and his three peaceful brother officers had con- tributed money for the interpreters’ ban- quet of Thursday evening. The hatchet- men believe this was a sort of jollification meeting over the signing of the declara- tion of peace. Through all this turmoil the yellow emblem of the See Yup Association still floats triumphantly over their headquart- ers at 820 Clay street, and the highbinders swear Ly that yellow flag and their wrecked | apurtments beneath that they will kill the first person who enters for purposes of destruction. The Consul-General is now waiting for a reply to his letter to Minister Yang Yu at Washington, telling what has been done and thedifficulties encountered. AGNEW AND HERGET How the Fpstern Fighter Gave Yl)hng Mitchell’s Brother the Double Cross. Gus Herget, a brother of Young Mitchell, is now sorry that he was not in condition lasi Friday evening when he met and was defeated by Lon Agnew at the Armory Club entertainment. Agnew, according to report, agreed with Herget that they should box ten rounds and that it would end.in a draw, after which tue purse would be divided. In the interim Agnew held a consultation with some of his near advisers, who spg- gested that there would be some money made in the pools if Agnew sailed into Herget and whig‘ped him in short order. The result was that about §400 was bet at Corbeit’s on Agnew wmpglng Herget in seven rounds or less, Judging irom the determined effort that Herget made to stand his ground and the great difficulty the fighters met with in selecting a ref- eree on the night of the fizht tha supposi- tion is that Agnew gave Herget the double cross, or in otber words a run out. However that may be, Young Mitchell and his brother Herget seem very well satisfied with the result, but it is whis- pered that Ierget is looking for satisfac- tion and will take the first opportunity tnat is offered to get even with Agnew and his managers. The friends of Agnew con- tend that it is a poer wind that does nov blow somebody good, but Herget is of the opinion that he who Jauzhs last laughs best, and thus the matter stands at present. ‘Whatever agreement the fighters made itis a facr, nevertheless, that” the public was hooawinked into believing that the contest was to be “‘on the square.” - PRINTING THE BALLOTS.

Memory and self-confidence sometimes fail at the outset of an im= portant speech or performance. Alcoholic stimulants are unsatisfac- tory. They quickly react, and leave the mind more weak and confused than be- fore. Instances of this occur constantly.

Did He Catfl You? “SAN JOSE, Cal., October 15.—A trav- eling medicine fakir, with the sobriquet of *Electric Bill,’did a good businessin Santa Clara last evening and victimized several hundred pgople by seiling a cheap Electric Belt at a profit of about 1000 per cent. Before ‘Electric Bill’ beean the sale of his wares he threw a handful of small silver among his audience, and when he offered his belts at $1 apiece there was a mad rush for them. He then bought a number of the belts back at several times the price paid for them, and this caused the more timid to invest, After he had disposed of his entire stock he sang a song enlitled ‘Just Tell Them You Have Met Me and They Will Know the Rest.” When the fakir went to his hotel he was pursued by a howling mob of his victims, and for a time it looked as though ‘Electric Bill’ would be dragged from the hotel and made to refund the moeney.”’—San Francisco “CalL” A cheap Electric Belt is Iike cheap jew= elry. Some people will buy it bacause it is cheap, but after trying it a few days they invariably find that they have paid a high price for what they received. The only thing that makes it possible for these fakirs to seil their cheap wares is the fact that all thinking persons know the real value contained in a genuine Elec- tric Belt—one that will generate electric- ity into the body—just as every one knows the value of a real diamond, and those who do not take the trouble to investigate are easily led into the Lelief that the so- called Electric Belt sold for $1is the same as the one costing $10 or $15. There is as much difference as there is between a dia- mond and a piece of giass. No belt pives electricity unless it can be felt plainly as soou as applied to the bedy, and no belt can be made to genmerate ‘electricity ata cost of $1. Dr. Sanden’s Electric Belt is the only article on the market to-day that is sold on a positive guarantee to FORFEIT $5000 For one which will not give a current of electricity that is percepible to the wearer as soon asapplied to the body. This cur- reunt is alto guaranteed to hold for one year. Dr. Sanden’s Electric Belt is not cheap; it cannot be made cheaply; and yet it is within the reach of every one, while as- suring the most perfect appliance that science can produce. It contains all known improvements, being perfectly in- sulated and bavirg a means of regulating the current to miid or.strong while the belt is on the body. No other Electric Belt made has this appliance. If you buy an article to restore your health you cannot afford to buy a toy; you must, if you do yourself justice, buy some- thing that is highly recommended.
