TH THOUSHAD MEN Continued from Third Page. marred the spectacle, and perhaps added 1o the general effect of the spectacular, as the division which would have followed it was extremely diversified and interesting. NINETEENTH DIVISION. AH! rah! rah! Rab! rahl ray! McKinley, Hobart, San Josel That was the cry of the McKin- ley Battalion of San Jose, and right heart- ily it was given. Major T. F. Morrison brought up seventy-five neatly uniformed and well-drilled men from San Jose, and their ebullitions of enthusiasm kept things stirring all along their route. Captain B. L. Partridge was adjutant of this com- pany. The suits were white, with black trimming. They carried flags. A drum corps of seventeen pieces accompanied them. The National Republican League of San Francisco, 300 strong and led by Senator Eugene Bert, came next. They carried parti-colored McKinley and Hobart um- brellas. Two hundred men, each of whom had voted for Fremont, were led by Captain Douglas. Their transparency bore the words, “Veteran Republican Pioneers of the Republican Party, Fremont and Lib- erty.” They carried an old flag which Fremont had once followed. A similar organization, but whose mem- bers could boast only of having voted for Lincoln, followtéd. They numbered 180. The dainty knack of feminine designing was seen in the attractive float of the ‘Woman’s Annex of the National Repub- lican League of San Francisco. The float was & reproduction of the California seal. Miss Virginia Blennerhasset charmingly impersonated Eureka. When this float was passing along Howard street, hood- lums, actuated by a spirit of wantonness, which they clozked under pretend d an- tagonistic zeal, tore some of the flagsfrom the float and seriously impaired the beauty ofit. A large number of the lady mem- bers of the club appeared in carriages. A number of carriages contained mem- bers of the Woman’s Staie Central Re- publican Club. The ladies were arrayed in red, white and blue Martha Washing- ton caps and wore patriotic regalias, The Continental League, Frank G. ‘Worth, president, had 200 men in line. They all carried flags. The Afro-American League, 400 strong, preceded by a drum corps, made a stun- ning appearance. The drill corps was uniformed in black suits trimmed in white. T. B. Moulton, president o! the club, led the league. A number of Afri- can ladies in carriages followed the club. The skillful manazement of this division was due to Marshal J. A. Whiteside, as- sisted by B. Mahoney, P. Waish, W. E. risher, B. L. McKinley, B. F. Fleming, Eugene F. Bert, T. H. Rush, H. C. War- ren, M. D. Garrett, H. J. Bartlett, Sol Jacobs ana T. B. Morton. TWENTIETH DIVISION, HE Thirty-fifth Assembly District, headed by a brass band, inaugurated the twentieth division with fitting glory. The club had twenty-five men in line, under Captain D. Kelly and Lientenants E. A. Grant and E. H. Herrick. The club uniform was blue with gold trimmings. The lumber industries were magnifi- cently represented. One thousand men, shouting themselves hoarse for McKinley and seizing every opportunity to vent their enthusiasm, followed the great yel- low banner proclaiming “The Pacific Coast Lumber Industries for Sound Money.” The men carried flags, chry- santhemums and horns. A number of Iumber trucks and heavily loaded wagons asccompanied the men. The parade con- cluded with a large number of wagons bearing the names of candidates for muni- cipal and local legislative offices. BY THE WAY. How the Enthuslastic Multitudes Saw and Enjoyed the Demon-~ stration. Prosperity came with a rush to the restaurants on Market street by reason of the parade, and furnished a foretaste ot what those who will yote for McKintey and Hobart anticipate as the normal con- dition in San Francisco in the not far dis- tant future. It was surely a novel sight of late in this City, to see proprietors snd managers of restaurants standing at their doors to bar the entrance of any more hungry people, their places of business ATY-FINE | having been filled completely. From 5 o’clock in the afternoon a shower of ready coin jingled into the coffers of the lucky business mew, and gave them all excellent reason to remember the great demonstra- tion. There were many happenings and cir- cumstances relating to the demonstration which have more than passing interest. One fact was the persistent way in which the signs of approval continued until the very end. The street'lamps were lighted while yet the procession was moving. Still there were standing on the tops of high buildings, and perched precariously on window ledges on upper stories of Market- street structures, scores and hundreds of persons who waved flags and cheered re- peatedly at every striking feature in the procession as it passed. When the dusk bad settled, and these enthusiastic indi- vidnals were seen in silhouette from the street level below, their voicesstill sounded out their plaudits. It was not difficult to know whethera spectator was a Republican or a Popocrat by observing his or her face. The Repub- licans had the corners of their mouths turned up, while the Popocrats turnea their mouths downward like a rainbow capsized, The decorative taste of the friends of McKinley did not confine itself to the adornment of floats, the selection of showy badges, or to the profuse display of thousands of American flags. Quaaru- veds became bearers and wearers of the red, white and blue, with bands of gold intermixed. At every corner some ani- mal pet was seen to have been appropri- ately becollarea with gold-colored ribbon, Whole familles of children wore McKin- ley badges. At the corner ot Eighth and Market streets stood a slightly built young woman, who had with her a sturdy and heavy youngster of perhaps 4 years of age. ‘When the bead of the procession came down by her on Market street & crowd of human beings had edged her slowly away from her original point of vantage, and she could not see. She was able to wave her white hand- kerchief above the heads of those in front of her so that it could be seen by the BEN YAKAR’S BABY MKINLEY FLOAT. 7\ DAY KIVLEY BENYAKAR. — marchers, and many of them caught a glimpse of it and turned their eyes in her direction, but were unsble to see her. She looked disappointed, but not so much so as her young American boy, who raised his voice in grief. The little mother seized the lad and held him aloft until a man who stood near took him. The young patriot saw the most of the procession, and tke white handkerchief continued to wave. Just before the procession started there was & rush to lunch counters. *‘Give me,” said a bungry man, “a Bryan sandwich.” The waiter looked punzzled. “Don’t you know,” asked the hungry man, “a Bryan sandwich is a tongue witn a roll on it?"’ The highest spectators who gazed on the procession climbed away up to the top of the coppery dome on the new City Hall. They were close up to the angel and from the ground they did not look to be much longer than clothespegs as they moved about. Conversely thesmany thousands of persons embraced in the great proces- sion must have seemed individually like pigmies from the dizzy height which sus- tained these spectators. They were com- pensated to some exteni by getting an unobstructed view of the entire length of Market street, and so they saw the pro- cession in all its glory. Crafty and enthusiastic women were those who discovered about the time the procession was about to start that they had business upon the upper flcors of high buildings. Elevators were crowded and elevator men looked on with astonish- ment at the sudden and enormous popu- | larity which they had achieved. The cars went up crowded and came down to con- front ever inflowing crowds. By this scheme people who had no seats in offices availed themselves of gratuitous accom- modations at hall windows. When the wind began to blow down through Market streetas through a fun- nel, the men who carried big, square ban- ners had their hands more tuan ull. One man let fali his banner three times, for it was like a square sail for a fair-sized sail- boat. Two small boys held onto the two cords, which acted like **sheets,’”” and held the wind full in the bauner every time that it was raised aloft. Finally the small boys *‘let go,” and the banner-bearer was able to pull himself together and make a new start. There was one very tall protectionist in the processiop. In fact, he was so tail that as he marched behind some horse- men his head was nearly as high as the heads of the mounted men. He attracted attention allalong the line of march. The happy idea of a countermarch on Market street gave the paraders an oppor- tunity to enjoy a view of the procession in detail, and the various aivisions cheered their comrades on the march heartily as they psssed. The countermarch also gave the vast crowds of spectators an cpportu- nity to see the show twice. e A Message to McKinley. The Plumed Knights Drill Corps, after the parade, deciied on sending the foilow- ingtelegram to Major McKinley: The Republican Plumed Knights, San Fran- cisco’s craek drill corps, send you greetings and assurances of svccess Tuesday.

The Manufacturer Takes the Best Offered Him to Put Kis Name On. It is most interesting to compare the different methods by means of which the highest grade of mechanical perfection is atiained in various countries. Notwith- | standing the high character of American watches, for example, the finest Swiss watches still retain their great reputation, says a writer in Cassier’s Magazine. The Swiss workman ives the parts from the manufacturer in the rough, takes them to his home, puts his best individ- usal.skill into finishing ana’ assembling, and brings the completed watches to his employer. The latter inspects the work, and outof a batch of, say, fifty watches, he selects five orsix as worthy of his attention, and patsthe others into his regular trade under some general trade name. The se- lected watches he adjusts, working over them for days, weeks and months, before he considers them worthy to bear his own name, and it is these watches which go to those who not oniy have the money to buy, but also the patience to wais. A'prominent firm of American jewelers, chafing under the inconveniences of this Old World method of doing things, sought to introduce American meth- ods and see if the highest grade of Swiss watches could not be made more methodicaily. A factory was built, enticing rates of wages were vffered to the most skilled of workmen and the experiment was tried. But, alas! the 8wiss workmen soon found that no regular wages could pay him for his loss of liberty. To be on hand when the whistles blew in the morning, to have his stated hour for dinner and bis fixed hour for quit- ting at night—these restrictions he could not stand long. Formeriy he bad worked when he felt = like it and stopped when it pleased him, and when he was paid for one job he tdok his time to begin the next, generally waiting until his funds ran low. The factory plan d.d not work for long, and the idle build- ing now bears silent testimony to the Jove for independence, which is as much a factor in present lile as it has been in past history. ———— In these days of sunshine and rain we are s!l anxious to discover a true weather indicator—one that is strictly up to date.

Answers to Correspondents. A HALF OF 1850—Miss J. M. C., City. A half dollar of 1850 dges not command a premium, PRINCE OF WALES—J., City. Albert Edward, Prince of Wales, heir apparent to the throne of England, was born in Buckingham Palace, November 9, 1841, is an’ Englishman, and not & German because his father was one. When he became of age he did not take any steps to adopt citizenship of Germany. $ ELECTIONS OF THE PasT—T. T. M., City. Prior to the adoption of the present constitution Supervisors were elected by wards in San Francisco. That was prior to 1872, Henry Bingham was a candidate for the office of Bupervisor from the Twelith Ward at the elec- tion held in 1892, and he received 2702 votes. Antone Schottier, who was Supervisor irom the First Ward, was not an Italian. THE GREAT EAsTERN—P. P., Tracy, San Joa- quin County, Cal. The s eamer Great Eastern made & number of trips across the Atlantic carrying passengers and freight, but the ven- ture was not a success. In December, 1860, she was used as a troopship, and carried about 2000 soldiers from E:gland *o Canade with a degree of com fort never before experie ced by that number of human beings on & vessel. HOMES For OLp ProrLE—F. W. L., Concord, Contra Costa’County, Cai. There is the Old People’s Home, at the corner of Pine and Pierce streets in this City; the Lick Old Ladies’ Home, also in this City on University street, between rulton and Wayiand, on Uni- versity Mound traet; the Ola Ladies’ Home in Fruitvale; and the Alte:heim German Oid People’s Home, also in Fruitvale, Alameda ounty. A TWENTY-DOLLAR PrEcE—Subscriber, City. What vou would receive from the United States Mint for a twenty-dollar piece after you melted down the same would depend upon its weight at the time you converted it into bul- lion. A twenty-dollar piece when turned out atthe mint contains 464.4 grajns of pure gold 900 fine, and 51.6 greins of alloy, making 516 in ail. The value of gold 900 fine is.03876 per, grain. A twenty-doliar pleco that has een in circulation for a length of time loses some of its weight by abrasion, THAT AMENDMENT—L. B. F., City. The pro- posed amendment to the constitution of Cali- fornia reads: “All elections by the people shall be by pballot, or by such other method as may be prescribed by law; provided that se- crecy in voting be preserved.” The framers of that amendment had in view the possibility at some time in tne future of the introduction of voting machines, and it was for that reason the words “or by such other method asmay be prescribed by law"” were inserted. Under the provisions of that amendment the Australian system now in vogue might be done away with, but some other secret method would haveto be provided. SIGNET RING—E. B. 8., City. A signet ringis & seal ring, the seal of which is & signet or private one. A signet is used instead of sign. ing the pame or in addition to it for verifica tion of papers. The signet in Scotland is the seal by which roval wartants connected with the administration of justice were formerly authenticated. In Engl administration the signet is one of the sesls for the authentica- tion of royal grants which, before the aboli- tion of the signet office in 1848, was there sfixed to documents before passing the privy seal, but is now not required. Shakespear in Hamlet makes the melancholy Dane say: 1 had my father's signet In my purse, Which was the mode! of that Danish seal. GoLp Axp SiLvER—C. N. W., Watsonville, Cal, The world’s annual productof gold and silver varies,and from the reportof the Di- rector of the United States Mint it appears that there has been a gradnal increase of both metals since 1873. In that year the product of gold was 4,653,675 ounces, increasing about one million ounces each year. In 1894 the roduct was 8705836 ounces. There has een &n increase i~ ihe production of silver every yearsince 1873, except in 1874, 1875 and 1877. In 1873 the product was63,267,- 187 ounces, having & commercial value of $82,120,800 and a colnage value of $81,800,- 000. In 1894 the product was 166,601,995 ounces, having a commercial valne of $105,- 757,300, and a coining value of £215,404,600. The product of gold in 1873 was valued at $96,200,000, and in 1894 it was $179,965,600. Kixe or Prussia—C. F., Stockton, Cal. Up to within a recent period the Kings of Prussia enjoyed the whole igcome of the state do- maios, amouuting to about $5,000,000 a year. By a decree of January 17, 1820, King Fred- erick Wilhelm II1 fixed the krondotations at the total sum of 2,573,09 tnalers, which' was sanctioned on .'-mnr§)e 1, 1850, by the constitution, remaining as before on the reve. nue derived from domains and forests. At ONE OF THE WINE-MAKERS FLOATS IN YESTERDAY’S PARADE present the total “krondotations rente,” as far_as it figures in the budeet, amounts to 15,719,296 marks, or $3,752,220. The reign- ing house is also in ession of & vast amount of private Pproperiy. comprising casties, forests end great /anded estates in various parts of the kingdom, known as “Fideikommiss und schatullguter,” the reve- nue from which is not stated, and which mainly serves to defray the expenditure of the court and members of the royal family. ETAMMERING—M. K., City. The means for the oure of stammering are many and various, ard sometimes the cure has been lirtle better than the discase. Drawling, einging, inter- polations or elisions of letters, speaking either with the teeth closed or with the tongue pressed to the roof of the mouth, snifling, whistling between words, beating time to utterances, stamping the foot, jerking the body, pebbles in the mouth or tubes fixed be- tween the organs, bands compressing the laryux and other absurd and uncouth deyices have been practiced. But the cure depends upon the skillful application of scientific principles, whose only mystery is that which arises from the little atiention given to the science of speech. It is almost unneeessary 0 say that the cure is not within tue proyince of surgery. “The habit of stammering,” says an euthority, ‘“can be counteracted only by cultivation of the opposite hab t of correct soeaking, and this can be acquired by due re- 2ard 1o the processes of speecn, the reiation of breath to articulated sounds, the position of the tongue and other oral organs in molding the outward stream of air, and by patient ap- plication of these principies in slow sand waichful exercise.” THE TROUBLE IN CHILE—‘“Bodewin,” Bal- lards, Santa Barbara County, Cal. On the 16th of October, 1891, some eailors belonging to the United States war vessel Baltimore, then &t anchor in the harbor of Valparaiso, landed, and while in & saloon got into an altercation with some Chilean sailors, which resulted in a knock-down of & Chilean. With that the iriendsof the fallen man made an attack on the Americans with knjves,and in the row that followed the Chilean police and & mob 100k & hand, and instead of trying to preserve the peace helped their fetlow-countrymen, with the result theta number of the Ameri- cans were severely wounded and two of them, Riggin and Turnbull, were killed. Anexpla- naton and demand for reparation was mude by the United States Government, but 1o satis- faction was offered beyond the statement that & secret inquiry was Instituted by Chile into the affair. This: inquiry, concluded January 8, 1892, was notabiy unsatisfac- tory to the reople ot the United Biates and public feeling was further disturbed by thbe issuance by Minister Matte of an jusuiting circuiar accusing the American Minister to Chile and the American naval officers with in- trigue and falsification for the purpose of cre- Ating trouble between the two countries. On January 21 the ultimatum of the United States was rved on the Chilean Government by Sccretary Blaine through the Chil- ean Minister in Washington, Pedro Montt. The ultimatum was a demand of an apology for the murderous assault on the sailors of the Baltimore, for an indemnity to the injured sailors and to families of the murdered sallors, and for the abrolute with- drawnl of the insulting circular of Minister Matte. Noreply was received within a reason- able time, so President Harrison sent all the parers to Congress, also notice that Minister ontt had aske | for the recall of the Ameri- can Minister, Patrick Egan, ‘but before any action was taken areply, in which all the de- munds were unconditionally granted, was re- ceived, the question of repa’ation being left to the Uniied States Supreme Court. The amount paid was §75,000. BarLor ReForM—IJ. E. W., Santa Monica, Cal. John H.Wigmore, in his history of the Austral- ian ballot, says: “In the United States reform based on the Australian system seems to have first been advocated by # member of the Phila- delphia Civil Service Reform Association in 1882, in A psmphlet entitled ‘English Elec- tions,’ and by Henry George in the North Awmerican Review for March, 1883, It is also claimed by Robert Schilling, editor of the Milwaukee Reformer, that he ad- vocated the reform in his journal as early as 1881. The first direct efforts at legis- lation seem to have been made in Michigan. In January, 1885, & biil embodying the Aus- tralian ballot sysiem was introduced by Georze W. Waltheu of Lansing. It was lost by a vote of 23 to 44; iu favor, 8 Republicans, 20 Demo- crats; against, 24 Regubliclns, 20 Democrats.” I: 1887 Waltheu's bill was passed by a vote of 57 to 32; in_ favor, 47 Republicans. 10 Demo- crais. Tne bill. however, failed in the Senate, but a law embracing the Australian system was passed in 1888. The first pracical iest of the new system was in Massachus tts in 1889 der the law passed the previous year. The. tollowing is a list of the States and Ter- ritor ies that have adopted the reform bal.ot, basi:d more or less on the Australian system: 1388—Kentueky (applying only to Louis- vilie), Massachusetts. 1389—Connecticut, Indiana, Michigan, Min- nesota, Missouri, Montans, Rhode island, Ten- nessce, Wisconsin, 1896 —Maryland (lpplylng to Baltimore), New Jersey, New York (remodeled in 1895), Oklahoma, Vermont, Washington,Wyoming. 1891—Arkansas, California, Delaware, Idaho, Ilinols, Maine, Nebraska, New Hampshire, North Dakota, Ohio, Pennsylyvanis, Soutk Da- Kkota, Oregon, West Virginia, Colorado. 1892—lowa, Maryland (whole State), Mississ- ppi. {503 —Alabams, Kanses, Kentucky, Nevads, Texas, Florida (for the city of Jacksonville). 1894—Virginia. The only States in_ which some form of the re ormed balloting did not exist on the 1st of 128t January were Georgis, Louisiana and North Carolin A COOSTLY. SUIT. j Cow's Dinner Took $100 Out of the Fublic Treasury. Judge Hosmer and a jury disposed of an amusing case recently which again exem- plifies the trutbfulness of the proposition that it does not pay to litigate for a prin- ciple, says the Detroit News-Tribane. Gottlieb Hackstein got just 75 cents’ worth of satisfaction out of Christian Kuhn ia this suit. ’ Last summer one of Mr. Kuhn’s cows es- caped into a highway of Springwells and while searching for green-r pastures per- ceived the garden of Mr. Hackstein. Her mouth watered at the array of succulent garden truck and, finding a possible en- trance to the inclosure, she performed the work of a lJawn mower on two rows of beets before her presence was discovered by the Hackstein family. Mr. Hackstein promptly impounded the cow and notifiea is neighbor Kuhn that he would retain possession of the animal until damages aggregating $3 25 were paid. Kuhn concedea that damage had %‘ven done, but reckoned the damage to garden truck at §1 50. The parties hopelessly disagreed and both sides hired lawyers. Kuhn replev- ined his cow and woa the case in the Jus- tice court, but Hackstein wanted higher ajuaication and appealed to the Wayne Circuit Court. After the facts had been presented to the jury Judge Hosmer in- structed them that Hackstein was un. doubtedly entitied to a verdict, but left them to say how mucn must be paid. After deliberating on the case a short time the jury returned a verdict for 75 cents for Hackstein. The trial of the petty appeal case cost the county of Wayne over $100. HENRY WAS NO SAINT. This Is What Mrs. 'Stowe Sald of the Famous Divine. A writer in the Boston Transcript says: “A triend of Mrs. Stowe telis a quaint, pathetic little anecdote of later date than most of the reminiscences her going has called forth. A welcome guest always at the home near what was the home of her later years, it was sometimes her wont to wander, at twilight, from her own into some neifhboring garden, and through the hospitable open door into hall of iiv- ing room. o the hall of one such house wasa fine bust of Henry Ward Beecher in white marbleresting in adeep niciie in the wain- scot:d wail, and near it a softly shaded light. One summer twilight, when this light had been newly kinaled, Mrs. Stowe came absently in through the open door, and stood lo kinz up at the bust. ‘Ah, Henry! they heard her murmur, in her quiet, dreamy voice: ‘Ah, Hénry, the light burns before you there like a saint in your shrine! But—you were no saint, Henry! You were no saint?’” ——— One hundred and twenty firemen are required to feed the furnacesof 2 first- class Atlantic sieamer. Piles! Piles! Mac’s infallible Pile Cure.
