B THE LODKING FOR THE LOST PARTIE Ex-Fusionists Do Not Know How to Open the Spring Campaign. Cannot Run Together, and to Put Up Separate Tickets Is | Absurd. Probable That the Next City Govern- .ment Will Be Solidly Re- publican. OAKLAND OFricE, SAN FraxNcisco CaLL, & 908 Broadway, Nov. 19, } The politicians of all parties are now face to face with a aifficult problem. To | only ‘one party—the Republican—is the future at all clear. During the past two days there have been several cousultations between some | of the managers, but nothing definite has | been decided. There is not so much in- | terest being shown in the individuals to | put up for the various city offices as in the | status and attitude of the old parties. In municipal politics for the past four | ¥ years there have been Republican, Demo- cratic, Populist and Non-Partisan tickets | in the field. The Non-Partisans bave be- | come very partisan, the Democrats nndl Populists have lost their identity, nnd' only the Republican party remains intact. | The so-called Fusionists, about wbose‘ sirength so much was said prior to elec- | tion, were proved to have no existence at | all, for the returns show that 1f there was | any fusion it was between the so-called | Fusionists and Republicans, Phe Democratic and Populist managers are now at sea. They have been accusing | each other of 21l ¥inds of treachery and | bad faith since the election and dc not | spesk as they pass by. silver party out of the combined wreck for the purpose of a purely municipal campaign would be too much of a farce. Under the circumstances, the fusion ele- ment has no place, as a party, in local ing for office. other hand, the Republican ad so complete or enthusia; atien, and never so many men fit and eligible The recent election shows that and is a very pronounced Republican fi 1 for the past four years, every- anxious for a clean party adminis- tration. The story is being freely circulated that strenuous effortsare being made to change the majority in the Board of Works, with a view to making changes in the Fire, Police and Street departments. It is said that if Engineer Wiison and Mayor Davie will conibine and fill the departments with Republicans, they may receive the Republican nominations to succeed them- selves. It is not likely that any such plan will go through, for although the Mayor wouid like to see many changes he would not make them as the resuit of a ‘‘deal,’” for he is most vehemently opposed to such combinations, and has had two years’ ex- perience of going alone, which has not induced him to seek an alliance. LThe only way in which the Republican can be severed is by the injection of -a so-called non-partisan party into the coming campaign, Four years ago there nright have been a need of it; to-day there is not. - SCHUMACHER IS FREE. His Wife Granted a Divorce—The Re- publican Club Organized Permae nently—Caring for the Poor. ALAMEDA, CaL., Nov. 19.—The Schu- macher divorce case was settled to-day in the Superior Court by Mrs. Anna Schu- macher receiving a decree of separation. Gottlieb Schumacher made no contest, but in his answer urged the court to sepa- rate them. The defendant has all of the costs connected with the suit to pay, but he gets his two sons, while the mothér will be the custodian of their little daughter. The court intimated that Mr. Schumacher would be awarded the prop- erty known as Schumacherville in tnis city. It also found that he had a separaie interest in jands before his marriage. It -consiets of a lot in the Boulevard tract valued at $800; four lots and a house on Arbor street, $1700; marsh lands, $600; Santa Cruz ranch, § and the canal lo Total, $12.2 The property will ded in the near future. To Remember the Poor. Nov. 19.—The poor liberally provided for on Thanksgiving day by tSe young pec- ple. The City Christian Endeavor Union, Mrs. J. A. Cameron, president, apponted a ‘working committee to take charge of ‘he affair. It.met recently and appointed two representatives from each church in the city. The Baptist Union and Epworth League joined, and every effort is being muade to make it a day of genuine thanks- giving. Donations of food, fuel, clothing and delicacies are solicited, and may be left at Hinsdale Bros. on Park street. Money contributions should only be paid to the Alameda Bank. The service at the Santa Clara-avenue M. E. Church at 10 o’clock Thanksgiving day is to take the iorm of a donation service, and every one attending is requested to take something for the poor. Immediately after the ser- vices the young people will begin to dis- tribute their supply of goods. Permanent Republican Club. ALAMEDA, Can, Nov. 19.—The Ala- made Republican Club has organized itself into a permanent club and adopted a new constitution.

BERKELEY, CaL, Nov. 19.—Another new fraternity is about to be “swung out’” at the State University., This new Greek letter order will depend entirely for its membership on the Jewish contingent, of which there are at least 150 .in the college on this side of the bay. The name it will bear will be the Beta Chapter of Sigma Rho Theta. A. L. Weid, Leon®Roos and Jacob Voor- sanger, son of Rabbi Voorsanzer, are the charter members of the proposed new Jewish secret society, and it is said that they will “swing out” into the circle of college brotherboods within a few days. Several attempts nave been made hitherto to found a Hebrew fraternity at Berkeley, but the efforts of the promoters of the plan failed, and so the one which is about to come to light will be the first real Jew- |ish fraternity in the university. Medical Course. BERKELEY, Ca ov. 19.—The aca- demic senate of the riversity has adopted the recommendation of the Aca- demic Council providing for the estab- lishment of a medical course at Berkeley, reparatory to thatin the M al College Pn Eun Francisco.

What Is to Be Gained From Arctic Exploration. To ascertain with greater precision the shape, size and density of the earth, the astronomer’s base of measures, and thus render the science of surveying more accu- rate, ten pendulum observations near the unknown extreme of the arc are worth a hundred elsewhere. Observationzon mag- netism, especially near the magnetic pole, will benefit the thousands of ocean vessels which largely depend for their safety on the precision with which the compass can be interpreted. To the meteorologist -the Arectic is of special importance, because it Monday.... , ete. positively sold to the racing system, each of whose parts aflaqt every other. Tides and currents are sims ilarly interdependent. The aurora can best be studied where it is most commen and most fully developed. Observations on the character and be- havior of plants and animals under the unique conditions of the Arctic will give to the student of organic life a more thor- ough mastery of his probiems. To that end the hydrography must be known (depth of sea, temperature, water move- ment, sea bottom, salinity, light). The Acrctic aftords the best facilities for study- ing one set of geologic forces (glaciers, icebergs, frost fissuring) in, their extreme manifestation. The condition of the earth in past geologic epochs will not be fully' known until the strata of the Arctic lands have been mapped. To the paleontologist the Arctic has already yielded most valuable information in the fossil evidence of a mild climate, Lock- wood and Brainard found the slopes of western Grinnell Land studded with large petrified tree stumps. These and similar fossils, precious to museums or geologic cabinets, can probably be reached by way of Hayes Sound.

Why is so much of the paper used by publishers nowadays of such poor quality ? Mr. G. H. Putnam in the New York Sun gives this extraordinary reason—the de- crease of religious fanaticism on the eastern shorss of the Mediterranean. “*Myriads of pilgrims used to cross those dreary deserts on their way to Mecca, every one of them being clothed in flow- ing garménts of fingst white linen. Out cf their number hundreds and thousands would die by the wayside, rendering it at one time a most profitable business to strip these linen garments from the bodies and send them to the large paper factories of Europe. It was from this source, | Mr. Putnam says, that t e best paper was obtained, but the Mohamme- dans no longer in such large numbers undertake these pilgrimages, therefore not so many die by the wayside, and hence the inabilitysto furnish so high a quality of paper.” | city of New York, and every few days one or more of them receive notice to appear before the ex:mining board” and have | their eyes tested. | Of course, to every one of these, iy is like | saying good-by to their best friend when | they leave the cab of the.engine of one of | the great trains and come down to a less exciting position. But of all among the number there can be none who, in many ways, will feel the change more keenly than Engineer James W. Wood, who has been in the employ of the New York Cen- tral for over fifty-one years, ana whose record is one of the most phenomenal in the history of railroading. Every railroad man in the State of New York knows *of *Jim'’ Wood. Not a rail- | road man in the city but will be sorry 10 | hear that he is among the number who failed to_receive a first-class certificate. | ‘Wood himself takes the matter philo- sophically; is proud of his long career ard still mainteins the friendiiest rela- tions with the great corporation for which | he has labored during so many years. | "“Jim' brought the special train con. | taining James Gordon Bennett's party from Buffaio to Syracuse on March 1, 1876. | The run was the fastest ever made in the world, considering the distance. The 157.74 miles were traversed in two hours and forty-five minutes. ‘‘Jim” ran into Syracuse at the rate of 68.54 miles an hour. An instance is related of a trip that | Commodore Vanderbilt took behind **Jim" Wood. The commodore used to like to ride fast, but this time he rode too fast. *Jim” drew the old railroad magnate from Rochester to S8yracuse in eighty-three minutes. He attained such a rate of speed that the commodore actually rang him up. This was the only time that he was ever known to give orders to an engineer 0 slow up. During the fifty-one years that “Jim’’ Wood has run an_engine on the Central, it is sai pany a doliar; has never been in an acei- dent, and in this respect has a record which is absolutely phenomenal. He pos- sesses sirong apd manly traits of charac- ter, is temperate in his habits, is yet a well-preserved man, and apuears physi- cally as strong asever. He has been noted for his coolness, the steadiness of his nerve and his great presence of mind. He practically inaugurated the fast- train system, and for years was known as one of the most successful engineers in the vorld. " London papers have contained \dong accounts of runs by America’s fast engineer. His career shows that intelli- ®ence has as much to do with running an engine a knowledge of machinery. When the two are combined it is at once evident that a master band is at the throttle. In October, 1894, “Jim"” Wood drew the that he has never cost the com- | train upon which Governor McKinley wa: making a tour through the Statel At Syracuse, N. Y., Engineer Wood was in- troduced to McKinley, who said: *I feel like taking off my hat to you. Glad to meet you,” and then he added, as he re- called the I‘ishtninglike manner in which the train bad been run and swung around the carves. “I have felt a great interest iu you all through the morning.” ngineer Wood will be given a local en- gine for the present, and doubtless some good position will be made for him in the service of the road with which he ha been so long and honorably connected.. ester Democrat and Chronicle, Army surgeons say that the expressions of the faces of soldiers killea in battle re- veel the causes of death.

They Don’t Have Much Before They Are 100 Years Oid. /Do you know,”” said Colonel Ben Cason, leaning back in his chair, “that allizators are the most affectionate creatures on earth? It's a fact. And the sense they bhave! They’re wonders. They've got more sense than a dog. How do I know? Haven'’t I educated 'em?

Then I got a long-necked bot- tle, filled it with molasses and walked np to him. He opened his jaws to nab me. That was my chance. I shoved the neck of the bottle in his mouth, just back of his ears, where an alligator has no teeth. I tilted the boitle up. Jim tasted the mo- lasses and began wagging his tail. He broke Baptiste’s leg, but that was an accident. He was as gentle as a setter dog from the minute he tasted the molasses. I taught him a lot of pretty tricks—how to catch flies, how to stand on his tail, how to chew tobacco. Finally I harnessed nim up to a boat.
