P ¢ . THE SAN FRANCISCO CA'LL, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 30, 1896. MICHAEL CASTLE DIES SUDDENLY Lifeless Body of the Pio- neer Merchant Found in Bed. His Demise Was Not Known Until the Family Sought to Arouse Him. APOPLEXY WAS THE CAUSE. A Review of His Long and Honorable Mercantile Career in San Francisco. Michael Castle, » pioneer merchant of San Francisco, was found lifeless in bed yesterday morning at his home, on the southwest corner of Washington and Octavia street:. Hisend must have been pamless, as the family did not know of his demise until they sought to arouse him to all office-nolders hereaiter to be honest— Elder’s defeat will emphasize the fact that bosses, boodlers, treasfry-looters and ‘spofls- politiciaus own this town. Elder's electioh meens that the decent, honest, conservative citizens who have some- thine at stake in this community ate deter- mined to protect themselves®against wanton pillagé by ruthless political freebooters. As the official, expert of the Buard of Super- visors for the past two years he caused to be condemned, torn up and made over nearly $400,000 worthi of imperfect streets, Sewers 4 and pavements; thereby saving that sum to the property-ow:ners..

[Froim a photograph by Taber.] for breakfast yesterday -morning. The physicians ascribe his death to apoplexy. Mr. Castle- complained of indigestion ‘Wednesday morning, but went down town as usual and passed. a few hours at the Bohemian Club in ‘accordance with his daily custom. Michael Castle was ‘born in England seventy-four years ago. He came to America when he was quite a young man and passed some time in Canada and New York. He sailed- for California from New York in the summer of 1849, but the voyage was so long and tempestuous and the delays on the Isthmus so vexatious that he did not arrive here until January, 1850. The original house of Castle: Brotbers, importers of coffee and tea, was estab- lished in 1850, erick and-Michael Castie constituted the firm. Goodwin, the eidest brother, died . first, Frederick next passed away and now Michael has gone' The last named - re- tired from the firm ten years ago and he- came connected with the house of Macon- dray & Co., but withdrew from active bus- iness six years ago. The three Castle brothers mow comprising the firm. are sons of Frederick Castle and nephews: of Michael. Castle, an attorney-at- law,residinig at San Jose, is a son of Michael Castle. In early days James Freeborn, who died in Paris some time ago, was a member 'of the firm. He was a cautious and some- what. timid merchant, while Frederick Castle was a bold yet sagacious operator. ‘When Castle would buy coffee by the cargo Freeborn’s hajr would stand on end. Frederick Castle went 10 London in the early 50's and was there married. Many old-timers recollect the dinner that was given here by the Castles in honor of the bride’s arrival. Subséquently Michgel Castle went to L(_);idon and married a sister of Frederick's wife. In mercantile circles Michael Castle was highly regarded as an bonorable, success- ful and upright merchant. He possessed a vigorous constitution “and his habits were temperate. He walked with an elas- tic step, ard acquaintances who were not familigr with his long and active career in San Francisco could hardly believe that he had passed the allotted span of three score years and fen. His sudden death was @ great shock to his wife and his son, N. H. Castle. GEORGE W. ELDER. The Business Community Indorses the Candidacy of a Good Man. The following is a sample copy of a tes- timonial now being extensively signed by merchants of this City: To the patriotic, law-abiding and order- loving eitizeus of the City and County of San Francisco, to every home-owner, be he rich or oor, we, the undersigned tax-payers, regard- ess of party afliliations, cordially and ear- nestly recommend for the office of Superin- tendent of Public Streets, Highwaye and Equares the present official street expert of the Buard of Supervisors, the honorable, incor- ;upllhle. vigilant and fearless George W. ider. He has been tried and found true. He has ®een weighed in the balance and found not wanting. Do pou want a public servant who is known 1o be honest? If 50, vote for Elder. Do you want a brave official who knows the rightand dares to maintain it? 1f so, vote for Elder. Do you want an official who knows the du- ties of this office, who understands street work, who 1s familiar with every character and kind of material used on_ the streeis—in short, do_you want an official who is abso- utely competent in every respect? If so, vate for Elder. S s b o Do you wish to reward. the public official who was your iriend when you needed a iriend, who had the courage to oppose the united infamies of all the crooked, dishonest conspiring rings, which have been banded to- gether to plunder the public during the past two years? 1i so, vote for Elder. Elder's election wili be an encouragement Goodman Castle, Fred- | | much for the’Tahitian Islands. CONSUL J, LAMB DOTY He Tells of a Proposed Steam- ship Line From Here to Tahiti. It Would Increase Trade Here and Add to Tahiti’s Population and Eusiness. J. Lamb'Doty, United States Consul to Tahiti, arrived here last night after three months in Washington, D. C., and other parts of the East. He says interest in the campaign is intense, but that east of Chicago everything is for the Republican ticket. s 5 Mr. Doty has been Consul of this coun- try in Tahiti for pine years. It wes through the influence of Senator Sian- ford that he was appointed. Mr. Doty was, as a youth, a -page in the United States Senate. ; He says there are a good, many things under way in Taniti that promise to do If the election in the United States goes right it will have much to do with Tahiti’s pros- perity. ° “One of the things proposed,” said Mr. Doty, “is a direct steamer line from San Francisco to Tahiti. I have received a letter irom Tahiti stating that the Spreck - els Brothers have made an offer to the French Government there saying that if it will give a subsidy of $50,000 a year such a line will be established. “In fact, the proposition as reported to me is stronger than tbat. They propose to run steamers from here to Honolulu. as at present, and then instead of going via Apia to Auckland to go via Tahiti and Auckland. In thisevent Apia would be left out. 5 > “‘Such a line would be of "great value to us. It would shorten the time b:tween San Francisco and Tabiti by fifteen days, 1t“is now thirty days by sailing vessels. These vessels are very comfortable, but not being run by steam the time is slow. “The United States now does 51 per cent of the business with Tabiti, but with this line its business could be increased to 75 per cent. San Francisco would get busi- ness that now goes to New Zealand. The quicker time would cause many people tq go to Tahiti and coffee and other planta- tions would be srarted. It is an exceed- ingly rich country and coffee promises to be the most protitable of all crops. “There are about 180 isiands in the group. The population is about 30,000. 1t would soon be 60,000, I think, with bet- ter facilities for getting there. I would hike very much to see the direct steamer line to and’ from Takiti and San Francisco, with Auckland as the rurthermost end, as proposed.” Consul Doty will leave on Sunday on the City of Papeete for Tahiti. ———— Lunch at Cafe Zinkand.

CAN'T FUSE WITH DEMOCRACY He Sees in Judge Campbell’s ' Copious Whiskers a Marked Family Resemblance, ’ “Billy McKinley”’ is the mascot of Golden Gate Valley, and is believed by the people in the vicinity of Filbert and. Laguna streets to possess an unadulter- ated occult power that will land his name- | sake in the White House.. Billy is only a big white goat of sapient brain and .a stomach that never cried, **Hold, enough " but Professor *Baldy” Bauer, his chap- eron, who has-consulted the picture of the. zodiac-man in the front part of the alma- nac, says the infallible sign of .the Répub- lican victory will be in*Capricornus.” And the heavenly goat cavorting among the constellations - imparts- an terrestrial brotber. From this deep a: tronomical calculation he stands pat on the conclusion that: Billy. as & mascot is | out of sight. ; 5 From the -time that Billy beganlife among the skyey crags of Telegraph Hill down to tiie present he has abundantly enjoyed life, liberty and the pursuit of the esculent tomato can. His departure from his natal rocks came about in- this wise: One day -during early kidhood he ex- tended his gambols into the camp of the quarrymen engaged 10 slicing: down the pill'and lunched off several packages of giant powder. Billy was caught by the workmen just as he was licking' up the crumbs of his meal, and literaliy—not -in the modern figurative acceptation of the term—they didn’t do a thing to him. -“He was Joaded for the whole town. % They lovingly and tenderly enticed the epicure out of the neighborhood, holding their very breaths for fear of ‘bringing about a concussion and suddenly starting the goat’s explosive interior up in busi- ness. > Billy wandered down into Golden Gate Valley, where he either assimilated the dangerons contents of his stomach or ren- dered inert the deadly fulminate with a neutralizing diet of old boots, bits of rub- ber hose and handbills ripped from. the fences of his environiments. lived and let live the people around him. The years swept by, but sime ¢ould not wither,. nor age, nor anything else, pale the infinite variety.of his' apoetite. Al- ways he was the four-footed personifica- tion of hunger. . Warr Want marked -him ior her own, and the proverbial daughters of the horseleech who alwayscried, *‘Give, give!’ were not in it with this importun- g, food-seeking he goat, and _he thrived in the midst of his gaunt famine. Noth- ing he could throw his teeth into but went to make hea!thy blood, tissue and nerve—especially nerve. ° Once Billy mounted aroofand procéede to eat the rubber insulation off an electric ilight wire. He enjoyed himself unmo- Jested until the sun went down and the current was turned on. The several thiou- sand volts of force thaf plunged into his surprised sysiem were not digestible, and Billy quit eeting.. It was the first and only time that Billy was ‘ever known to lezve a feed. . i3k 0 e X Another. time he found -the enhd of a broken telephone wire lying in the street and went.at it.

Billy is taking an active part in the present campaign and his principal labors are in getting election literature out of Fnblic. circulation—or rather getting it nto his own. Candidate cards being in season he keeps his table plentifully supplied with that article of diet. A few days ago he found a rize which furnishea him pasturage for seven consecutive hours, It was a cache of some 'l';plun-fnuna- ’lection-card” fiena, and Billy didn’tdo a thing, etc. He will seldom eat a Popo- cratic card—can’t fuse with it nothwith- standing the caliber of his digestive economy—but he gets 80 mixed up some- times among the manifold tickets that he will get hnlgof an unwholesome morsel. Then he goes down to Bob Smart’s saloon and drinks from the stale-beer tub under “| gusto all but “big casino.”’ He thought 4 influence'| strongér than .that of the Pleiades to-his |.

This may bea campaign yarn. Ben Fehnemann, cgiwr of the California Orchard and Farm, is running for the As- sembly in the Forty-first District, and he ratber enjoys one of those cards, because it has an agricultural flavor. He can’t abide a “Phelan,” neither as 8 wWork of art nor an_article of dirtary faith.

Opinion :.Regarding : " Laborers. Very Strict Inter‘nretat'ioil of * the ‘Tréaty .Clause on Refurn Certificates. - -An official opinion from the Attorney- General at Washington, received here yes- terday by the-customs officials, declares tuat Chinese laborers who have left this country withbut obtaining the proper cer- | tificate cannot return. It also states that the departing laborer complies with the conditions necessary-to demand a certifi- cate if he files the required papers “‘with. the Collector of Customs of the district from which he departs,” and that.any rule directing him to file such papers with the Collector ‘of any’ other aistrict im- poses ‘a_condition not warranted by the treaty. The laborer must appear in per- son before the Collector to secure a cer- tificate of departure and must at the time show his registration certificate and sat- isfy the .Collector that he 1s the Chinese laborer therein described. = A certificate of departure cannot be made out and for- warded to the Chinese after”his de- parture.- g Collectors of Customs are informed that hereafter returning Chinese laborers should not be admitted to this country except upon ci)resontntiou of the certifi- cate prescribed by Article II of the treaty with China of March 17, 1894. The opinion goes onto say that ‘‘the policy of the Government being against the admission of Chinese laborers treaty provisions making exception should not be extended by construction .to cases not falling within the plain scope of fhe lan- guage used.” . ¢ % - The only provision in the treaty for the return of Chinése laborers to the Tnited _States is as follows: * 4 The preceding article snall not apply to the return to 'ge United States of "‘f registered Chinese laborer who has a lawful wife, child or’parent in the United States, or property therein of the value of $1000, or debts of like amount due him and pending settlement. Nevertheless every such Chinese_ laborer shall, bejore leaving the United States, deposit,asa condition of his return with the Collector of Customs of the district from which he departs, a full description in writing of his family, or .property, or debts as afore- said, and shall be furnished by said CTol- lector with such certificate of hjs rightt to return under this treaty as the laws of fhe United States may now or hereafter prescribe and not inconsistent with the provisions of this treaty; and should the written T tion aforesaid be proved to be false, the right of return thereunder, or of continued residence after return,shall in each case be forfeited. Aud such right of return to the United States shall be exercised within one year from the date of leaving the United States; but such right of return to the United States may be extended for an additionsl period, not to ex- ceed one year, in cases where by reason of sickness or other causes of disabi ll{ beyond his control such Chinese laborer shalil be’ren- dered unsble sooner to return, which facts shall be fully reported to the Chinese Consul at the port of departure anG by him certified to the satis'action of the Collector of the Port at which such Chinese subject shall land in the United States. And no such Chinese laborer shall ba permitted to enter the United States by land or sea without producing to the proper officer of the customs the return certificate herein required. — lé and $10 men’s Kersey overcoats $4 95 this week only. Original Columbla,571 ’.‘“‘“" CONTRACTOR A 8085 UP AGHN His Intimate Relations With Mr. Phelan Dis- cussed. Men Who Do Business With the Street Department Are Wary. DO NOT LIKE THE “PET” IDEA. Golonel C. L. Taylor Is Gaining Some Votes That Would Have Been Democratic. The recent arrival of young Charley W. Fay of 8an Jose and his appearance in the municipal campaign as the champion of James D. Phelan, Junta nominee for Mayor, is still a subject of spirited dis- cussion among contractors. Mr. Fay is managing Mr..Phelan’s campaign *for all there is in it,” and to’ this work he is bringing the same fineness and shrewd- ness that marked his operations in San Jose, where he got every contract that he went for; ° THE CALL'S recént telegram from San Jose and the article which-accompanied it opened the eyes of the San Francisco busi- ness men who have business with the Street Department. They learned for the first time what a formidable rival, one who ‘is never satisfied - except with a monopoly of all business‘in hisline, had dropped in ¢n this community from the -bustling metropolis of Santa Clara County. | An attempt was made to make light of Mr. Fay's prospective power in the muni- cipal . government, in the event of Mr. Phelan's election, by a street contractor yesterday. The gentleman was talking to a number of gentlemen in the same line of pusiness, and argued with apparent good reason that Mr. Fay is no brighter than many of the contractors of this City, .who are about as shrewd as they make them; and who,” as the saying goes, “know a hawk from a handsaw.” “Buf hedoesn’t have to be smart if- he has the Mayor with him,” reasoned an ex- perienced contractor, who knows consid- erable of Mr. Fay’s persuasive methods. “If the proposed new charter ‘should be adopted, and if the people should be so thoughtless -as to elect Mr. Phelan, then we would soon find that Mr. Fay would be master of the situation; for under the new charter the Mayor would bave al- most absoiute control of the street-con- tracting business of the City. Not di- rectly, perhaps, but by the exercise of the appointing power and the authority which the charter gives him to ‘suspend or re- move municipal officers at will, he would ‘be the autocrat of the City, whose merest whim would be law, and his pet, whoever that happened to be, would have a dead cinch—a lead-pipe mortgage—on every contract that he wanted. Itis easy to guess that Mr. Fay would be the Mayor's pet. “Mr. Fay bhas shown that he wants everything in sight by the fact that he nas paved all the streets of San Jose for which contracts were ret after his uppear- ance in thatcity with the backing of Mr. Phelan, *‘Mr. Phelan himself has admitted that he is very friendly with Mr. Fay, and ex- Emm that Mr. Fay’s father” worked for helan seaior nunyxenru ago, for which reason he has backed Mr. Fay in his busi- ness of street contracting. Bome say this backing amounted to $100,000, and it was generally supposed among business men that it was a sortof partnership, but as Mr. Phelan contradicts that of course it wasa mistake. However, it appears from the circumstances that it is a sort of ‘blood-is-thicker-than-water’ feeling that draws them together, and there is no use dodging " the conclusion that Mr. Fay would at least be Mr. Phelan’s factotum in 8treet Department affairs the moment that Mr. Phelan should. happen to be elected. He wouldn’t need to exercise the .| shrewdness with which he is credited in order to capture and hold the immense business of the City’s Street Department that is now distributed among so many contractors under the present system that gives all an equal chance. 1 do not mean that Mr. Phelan would intentionally be unfair to the rest of the contractors, but Mr. Fay is so smooth as a connubiator that he would manage the game dead to rights, taking all the best jobs and contracts and leaving only the dry bones to be picked by the outsiders.” The dissemination of opinions like'these has caused most of the street contractors to turn against Mr. Phelan. Some of the Democrats will throw their support to Mr. Dimond, the nominee of the Buckley Democrats, but the greater majority will support Colonel C. L. Taylor, tue regular Republican nominee for Mayor, who, as chairman of the Rinance Committee of th: Board of Supervisors for the past two years, has shown a disposition to deal fairly with all those who do business with our municipal gcvernment. KEITH'S SPLENDID GIFT The Painter Presents a Picture to the Pioneer Kinder- - gartens. One of His Characteristic Paintings to Be Disposei Of at a Chari- table Fete. The ladies who have the welfare of the Pioneer Kindergarten Society were most agreeably surprised Wednesday when W. H. Keith presented one of his pictures to the society. In making the presentation Mr. Keith explained that he wished to assist the ladies in their meritorious work, and also to show his appreciation of the results accomplished by the Kinder- garten Society. The patrons of the pio- neer organizatiofl were more than pleased, and have determined to make the most of the prized gift at the entertainment to be given Saturday afternoon at the residence of Mrs. W. 8. Du Val, 1012 Pine street. Mr. Keith did not care to speak about the picture he had given the ladies that they might dispose of 1t at a drawing for the benefic of the Pioneer Kindergarten. “It is a little sketch,”” be said—''a land- scape showing a bit of forest. Thereis nothing to be =aid about it. I just wanted to help the good cause.” Mr. Keith was modest. The sketch, as he called it, is a beautiful Jittle landscape in Keith's best style. It is painted in a bold, broad way and is full of suggestion. The strong impression the artist por- trays in this bit of painting is that of a delightful mood in nature. The picture has been mounted in an elegant frame and will no doubt cause considerable rivalry among the fashionable ladies and gentlemen who will visit the fete Satur- day afternoon and evening. So it is con- fidently expected that the generosity of the alnh:fiulshed painter will swell the coffers of the Pioneer Kinder, n Society far beyond the most enthusiastic hopes of those who organized the coming fete, LADIES’ UNDERSKIRTS!
