THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, MONDAY, NOVEMBER 30, 1896 The Late Peter Van Clief. PETER VAN CLIEF AMONG THE DEAD Sketch of the Life of an| Eminent Citizen and Jurist. High Testimonials to the Char- | acter of Another ’49:r Who Is Gone. The Creation ¢f an Intermediary Court May Prevent the Appoint- 1 ment of His Successor. The State of California has lost another honored citizen and an eminent jurist from the roll of its pioneers. At 1:30* o'clock yesterday afternoon Judge Peter Van Clief, Commissioner of the Supreme Court, after a lingering ill- | ness of two months, died at the residence of his son-in-law, W. F. Herrin, the prom- inent Southern Pacific Company’s attor- ney, at 2530 Broadway. Many old frienas at Downieville, where the judge practiced law in° his earlier days, heard of his death later in the after- noon, and the fact that the flags ot Downieville are now flying at half-mast suows the widespread esteem in which he was held in that city. A telegram re- ceived by Mr. Herrin last evening notified | him that the flags had been lowered out | of respect for the dead jurist. 1 The range of Peter Van Clief's life shows | a broad experience apd a self-reliant char- acter. There is no better illustration of | the latter fact than a little episode in his career which occurred at the Platte River, where -he was one man among many who caroe in a flock of prairie schooners which left Ohio for California when the flow of veople first bezan to follow the setting suxn., The party arrived at the Platte River, which was then greatly swoilen by rains or thaws of mountain snow. They were afraid to ford it, and decided to camp on the banks until the volume of water sub- sided. Young Peter Van Clief dissenterd. He swam the mniver with his gun, and alone across the wilderness made his way to California. He claimed to be the first white man who saw Lake Tahoe. He first went into Nevada, Piumas and Sierra counties, where he followed the oc- cupation of a miner for a while. Then he took up the practice of law with consider- able success, having read law in Ohio be- fore he started West, his headquarters being in Downieviile. In 1858 he was ap- pointed Judge of the old Seventeenth Dis- trict Court, including the counties of Sierra and Plumas, by Governor Weller. After his term expired he practiced law in and about Downieville from about 1850 to about 1870. Then he went to Marysville, where he continued in the practice of his profession tili about 1877, when he came 1o San Francisco and here he Las since resided. There was no better legal talent on the coast in those days than was found at Downieville, and Peter Van Clief was one of the most prominent in his profession. He was interested in every case of impor- tance which came into court. From 1852 up to about tne date of the Civil War there were in practice in Downieville, in addition to Judge Van Clief, such nonored men as Aaron A. Sar- gent, Niles Searles, Harry L Thornron, Senator W. A. Stewart and Judge McFar- land. 3 After he removed to this City Jndge S XEW TO-DAY. —— — Absolutely Pure— | There is no aid to the house-wife so great, no agent so potent in relief for the dyspeptic, as the Royal Baking Powrder, | mind, a fine constitution, and had won- | of the entire audience Van Clief usually spent his summers in Downieville and his winters here. In May, 1889, he was appointed one of the Commissioners of the Supreme Court by the court, and he continved to be a com- missioner up to the time of hisdeath. He was born in the State of Ohio, January 26, 1818—78 years of age. Judge Van Clief wrote a number of sound articles for newspapers on the con- stitutional amendment in 1863, and a Fourth of Jjuly oration which he deliv- ered in Downieville in 1865 is another in- dication of his interest in public and Na- tional affairs. Many other articles of a political nature were written by him and published, but the fact that he seldom signed them is an 1llustration of his modest personality. He wasa man who did not seek notoriety. He took a prominent part in the noted debris cases in 1877-78. The first action in | that case, the title of which was Keys vs. The Little York Mining Company, was brouzht bv Judge Van Clief, and be may be said to have initiated this litigation. The Judge leaves several children and a widow. By his first marriage he leaves two daughter—Mrs. Hiram L. Gear of San Francisco and Mrs. Cowden of Phwnix, Ariz. The only child of his second mar- riage is now Mrs. W. F. Herrin. Judge Van Clief was 2 man of the high- est integrity and a fast friend whose char- acter was unfoided the fullest only to his intimate friends. He has been svoken of as a man of “impracticable honesty.” He had a judicisl mind, was a man of wide learning and thoroughly fitted for the re- sponsible position he held. Judge Thomas B. McFarland, Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of California, bhas known Judge Van Clief for many years. He said last evening: *Iam sur- prised to learn of his death. Peter Van Clief was a man of much ability and learning, He was thorough-going and had a large practice before he went on the bench. I have known him since 1855 or '56.” Judge Niles Searles, an associate com- missioner, has known Judge Van Clief since 1852. He was seen last night at his apartments in thé St. Nicnolas Hotel. He said: “I bave known Peter Van Clief intimately for over forty years. He wasa good lawyer, bad a thorough and logical derful industry. He wasnota great jury lawver, but in the argument of law ques- tions and the preparation of briefs for the court of last resort he had verv few supe- riors. He understood words and their meaning and the English- language thor- oughly. 5 3 “He left in August, I think, on his vacation. He returned from a stage ride down the mountains, where fie had mining claims, strained in his right shoulderand side. This extended to his stomach and for weeks he realized he was on his deathvbed. Judge Van Clief has lived a useful life. He did not make as much noise as many men of haif his abii- ity. He was thorough, able and an honest lawyer.” The question of Judge Van Clief’s sue- cessor has already arisen in those circles which realize the importance of the posi- tion. The salary of Supreme Court Com- missioner is $6000 a year, as much as the Justices of the Supreme Court. The legis- lative act creating the Supreme Court Commissioners will expire next May, and the question has arisen as to whether the Legisiature this winter will continue the commission. There has been a feeling among the attorneys of Califormia for several years that an appellate court, which shall have final jurisdiction and power in cases of a certain class, should be created, and if such action be taken this winter by the Legislature the Supreme Court Commis- sioners will be abolished. This feeling is said to be widespread, and, under the cir- cumstances, it is considered doubtiul that the Supreme Court will make an appoint- ment to the vacancy, or that any compe- tent lawyer would accept an appointment for so uncertain a term. ORCHESTRAL CONCERT, Mme. Fannie Bloomfield-Zeisler Scores Anotber Success at the Baldwin Last Night. There was a large, fashionable and eriti- cal audience in the Baldwin Theater last evening, the occasion being the orchestral concert given' by Fannie Bloomfield-Zeis- ler in conjunction with the Hinrichs-Beel orchestra. The following programme was successfully rendered : Overture, ‘“Prometheus,” by the orchestra: Chopin’s concerto for piano and orchestra, op. 21, F minor, maestoso, larghetto, allegro vivace, Fannie Bloomficld - Zeisler; Grieg's “Air from Suite, Aus Holbe?'s Zeit,” orches. tra; Rubinstein’s concerto for piano and or- chestra, op. 70, D_minor, moderato, moderato assai, allegro, Fannie Bloomfield-Zeisler; Litolff's scherzo from concerto (with orches tra), op. 102, D winor, Fannfe Bioomfleld-Zeis- ler; Moszkowski’s Spanish dance, orchestra. The talented periorger won the plaudits in the renaition of Chop.n's Concerto, and Sizsmund Beel camie in for a share of the recoguition for the exceilent manner in which beacted in unison with the pianiste, When Mme. Zesler rendered Litolff’s creation she caused such enthusiasm that the audience demanded encore ulter encore and she graciously responded by giving a waltz and a march by Schubert. The numbers by the orchestra were well rendered and weil received. Theannouncement was made that Mme. Zzisler wili give a farewell recital in Metropotitan Hall next Saturday after- noon, and this will be at popular prices. — Catholic Services. Saturday morning next a Triduum will be commenced at St. Mary’s Church on California street. Tals is in preparation for the Feast of Immaculate Conception, which will be eele- brated December 8. The Triduum will be three days of devotion, consisting of rosary and Jizany of the Blessed Virgin, On the first Sunday in December, by order of the Most Reverend Archbishop, & special col- Tection will be taken up in all the churches of the arch diocese of San Francisco for the Pope. RACING AGAIN ON THIS SIDE Ingleside Furnishes a Great Card of Running Events. A Number of Fastern Horses at the Barrier for the First Time. Damien and Salisbury II Will Try Conclusicns Over a Mile—The Coming Winter’s Sale. By far the most attractive card of the season is the one ofiered race goers to-day at Ingleside, the opening duy of the semi- monthly meeting. The good horses who have gradually been *keyed up to it’’ are beginning to make their appearance and the splendid lot of entries in the different events to be decided this afternoon has awakened renewed interest in the game. The action of the Ingleside Association in offering a §500 purse each day for a race over a distance of ground, meets with the hearty approval of all owners and the Pacific Coast Jockey Club is to be con- gratulated for its enterprise. Too many *dog” dashes work a detriment to the sport and are not popular with the public. Among the starters which will face the barrier to-day for the first time on either of the local courses are: Tom Elmore, Morte Fonse, The Dragon, Balvation, Woodchopper, Clisse B and Gutta Percha, all very good performers. In the mile dash Salisbury 1I, who was worked on a full mile, which he finished in 1:401{ at the conclusion of his winning race at Oak- land on Saturday, will lock horns with Pat Dunne’s Damien, and it will not be surprising if the track record of 1:41){ is lowered. Charles Carmichael, owner of the well- known racehorse, Cash Day, registered at a downtown hotel last evening from Chi- cago. Ab Stemler has been obliged to retire some of the El Primero siable horses temporarily on account of various ail- ments. The speedy Fleur de Lis broke down and Lodestar is alsoin a bad way from lameness. Pueno, the black horse, is not doing well, and altogether the string is in a badiy crippled condition. Marty Bergen, the quiet and gentle- manly jockey from: New York, is back with us again this winte~. Marty may possibly not ride with the same dash and vigor of former days, put he is honest and his mounts always come in for substantial backing. Reports from New York say the popu- lar trainer James McCormick is not mending very rapidly. His little son und daugnter will leave here for home on Sat- urday next and rumor has it that the trainer’s condition is very pracarious. The yearlings from Theodore Winters’ Rancho del Sierra—twenty-one in all— will pass under the hammer on Wednes- day evening, December 3, at Killip & Co.’s salesyard, Market street and Van Ness avenue, and a superb-looking lot they are. James Grant, manager for Mr. Winters, has charge of the youngsters, and with a great desl of pride shows the racy-looking sons and daughters of El Rio Rey and Joe Hooker to visitors. Among those to be sold are a brother to Belle Boyd, afull brother to Bonanza and a brother to Quantreil. In alludingto the latter hand- some colt, Mr. Grant says if he is nota racehorse he will quit guessing. A filly by El Rio Rey from the great mare Louise M is cousidered one of the starsof the sale. In 1892, at Chicago, Louise M showed the way to Racinein a mileand a furlong stake event, the first mile of which was covered in 1:3814. Speaking of El Rio Rey, who swert everything before him as a two-year old and was the idol of American racegoers, Manager Grant says the big chestnut looks in grand condition and acts as | thongh he would like once more to an- swer the post call. What a rare drawing card he would be if Mr. Winters could be indnced to exbibit him at the coming Horse Show. The California Jockey Club will puta | large force of men at work to-morrow morning grading the inside track on their Oakland course, and expect to have i ready for the gallopers by the time the next meeting opens.

FITCH IN THE FIGHT. Chief Crowley’s Old Opponent Looking for the Superintendency of tchool Buildings. The Board of Education-elect is caucus- ing now and apportioning out the patron- ag) to the lucky ones who are able to get chairmanships, The main purpose of the next meeting is supposed to be the appointmentof a Superintendent of the Building of Schools, | one of the most important positions in the department, in view of the fact that the board must rely upon tbat official’s report in all matters pertaining to build- ing and remodeling. Superintendent Kincaid, who is the in- cumbent, runz a strong first in the fight. There are numerous other candidates— O’Brien, Casey, McNamara and Con- nelly—who have never tigured before the public in search of the appointment, o it is ta ba presumed that Kincaid will have a walkover against them. It is not so, however, with Ben Fiteh, a first-class mechanic of the old school, | whose claim for precedence is getting a strong backing. Fitch is part of the history of this State and Nevada. He was the foremen in the building of the Montgomery biock, cne of the iew remaining landmarks of pioneer days. He built the courthouse, jail und State University at Elko, Nev., where he l was Sheriff in 1868-72 and in 1880-84. { _But the most interesting part of Ben | Fitch’s career is when, in the 70's, he was acandidate ngainst Patrick Crowley, the incumbent, for the position of Chief of Police of this City and County. ‘W. C. Ralston, the Jim Fisk of Califor- nia, was then in his glory, and be favored Crowliey, and that settied Ben Fitch’s chances. He was defeated and went back to Elko. He has been a resident of this State for more than five years, and he hopes to be seen at work again building the public schools. PATUL BREON'S DEATH. The Commission Merchant Succumbs to a Stroke of Paralysis at the Baldwin Hotel. Paul Breon, a prominent merchant of the firm of Wheaton, Breon & Co., died of paralysis at his apartments in the Baldwin Hotel yesterday morning, He was pros- trated by a paralytic siroke two weeks ago, and since that time the attending physicians had little hope of his ultimate recovery. Mr. freon was an active and successful merchant. As a post trader at Fort Yama and in general merchandise business on the frontier he acqnired considerable money. About eight years ago he bought an interest in the firm of commission mer- chants, of which George H. Wheaton is the senior partner, and since devoted him- se!f diligently to business. During the World's Columbian Exposi- tion at Chicago Mr. and Mrs. Breon lost their only son, a young man 20 years of age. The snock was so severe that the mother’s life wasin peril for some mouths. Mr. Breon was a companionable and genial man, but his sorrows drew him closer to his business in tue day and to his home circle in the evening. So he was not as widely known as others of less force in the mercantile community. He wasa member of the Bohemian Club and very highly regarded by his fellow-members. Mr. Breon was born in Lorraine and was 53 years of age. - How One Natural Hair-Restorer Affected Fido. WILL HAR GROW ON BALD HEADS? Benefits of Professor New- comb’s Efforts in Massachusetts. Douglass White and Others Most Interested Are Very Hopeful. A Discovery That May Clhange the Appearance ¢f the Front Row at a Ballet. Again comes a remedy for bald heads. Like the cures for colds, rheumatism and every other ailment, a panacea blos- soms on the twigs of every tree; humani- tarians pluck and hand it around. itis different this time in one respect, for it is allied in a way to the mysterious X rays. Professor George Newcomb, demon- strator of physics at the State Normal School of Salem, Mass., is the discoverer of the new process that is likely to turn the front rows of a ballet dress circle into the strong hirsute vegetation of a football team. Edison seems to have caused the blind to see by means of the X rays, and New- comb believes he can make dead, decayed or lethargic hair bulls come to life, fresh or vigorous, by means of the high induction coil. Professor Newcomb gives it out to the world that his fingernails and skin dropped off with pain excruciating during his experiments with the rays, but when he desisted both returned in due time, and with an accomnanying growth of hair “unusual and surprising.’”’ The physicians of this City are not pre- pared at this time to give an opinion as to the possible merits of Professor New- comb’s alleged discovery; still they are not inclined to doubt anything advanced by so distinguished a professor. It therefore leaves the bald-headed men, who are most interested 1n the weather, to sit and ponder whether it is the same old gag.” Douy White, the best story-teller in th1s City, not to talk of the State, never takes his'hat off when entertaining his friends. He fears, somehow, that the luster of his high forehead might add age to his anec- dotes. He is a skeptic on hair invigor- ators, wuether they be scientific, natural or otherwise. Some five years ago his friend W. J. Ritchie, now aimost a mil- lionaire in London, discovered a wonder- ful spring in Southern California. White was asked to interest himseif in placing the water bafore the public, as it was not only a healthful beverage but it had a wonderful power of restoring hair. A man named Phil Mentague was the local agent. and he and White went to the springs on a tour of inspection. With him White had his little hairless Japan- ese dog, which tripped along merrily, sniffing around the brush until a wnr{- man yelled: *“The dog is in the creek!” Sure enough, Fido came floating down the stream and Montague rescued him after having waded up to his knees in the water. Doug White was as excited as a mother might have been over a similar predica- ment in which her child was the main actor, He grasped Fido to himself and nestled him closely under his warm coat. A balf hour later, when the dog ceased shivering, he dropped him to romp on the sward. It was no more the Japanese hairless dog, but an ugly pewhiskered pup that gamboled about, with long bhairs like those of King Charles drooping over his eyes. y'l'he little fellow jumped all around White and sniffed at nim with a vim that indicated he knew his master. It may be siated that White was un- aware that Montague had pinned a bit of meat on his coattail and the hungry hair- covered Jap was after it. Montague explained how beneficial the wat-rs from the spring were if they could grow hair on a dog in a few minutes. White was dubious, and as a master- stroke, he asked Montague to show him his calves. “You were in the creek after the dog; let’s see what effect the water has had upon you,” “That's so,”” said Montague, as he raisea the bottom of his trousers, and there, sure enough, were long red hairs plentiful enough 1or a wig, but they were damp and soaking, making them lose much of their bushiness. White says he thinks he was taken for a good lhlng down sonth on that spring water for bald people, and-he doesn’t be- lieve in the Massachusetts geni While White is a skeptic, he is hopeful that science will so advance as to add to his otherwise handsome head. “And there are others.” Take Tom Shaw, for instance. He it is whose friends are mostly found among the railroad agents. There is a threaten- ing baid spot on the apex of a level head. “I’ve been wasting Old Tom Gin morn- ing and night on that one spot for nearly five years,” Tom stuted yesterday. Then he showtd the place, which looked like a well swept tennis lawn. George H. Siil of San Jose, Joe Parker of this City, Harfy Collins and a lot of other prematurely bald are on the anxious seat. Police Judge Campbell takes a contrary view of the whole matter. He looks upon the new discovery somewhat in the light ofa Delilab. His whiskers carried him through to election in the last campaign and he fears that next izme others may by irying the new remedy on their chin come forth with an equally luxuriant growzh, The bairdressers of the City are not very anxious. Since an authority on high art has established a fad to have mansard roofs made in Paris there has not been much demand for the like in this country; hence there cau be little lost. ONDER ROLLING WREELS. A Switchman Seriously Injured by a Train on Bentucky Street. John Flahiss, a switchman employed by the Southern Pacific Railroad Company, met with a serious accident at 5 o'clock yesterday morning on the compary's Ken- wcky-street track. It was Flahiss’ daty to oper and close the switches on this line as the yard engine passed and repassed while sidetracking and making up the freight trains which go from the Long bridge at the foot of Fourth street. In performing his duties Flahiss was thrown or fell under the wheels of a train, and had his left leg badly crushed at the knee joint. Policeman J. M. Lewis, who was on duty in the vicinity, tels phoned to the Southern police station for the patrol wagon, and the unfertunate switchman was taken to St. Mary’s Hospital, where the crushed and mangied limb was ampu- tated at the bip joint. ‘Lhe physician who atiended him gave it as his opinion that the injuries will prove fatal.

He Asa'yz:s It fur the Benefit of His Corgregation in the West-Sids C' urch. The Rev. W. A. Gardner preached an interesting sermon at the West Side Christian Church, Bush street, near Devis- adero, last night, on *‘Kindness to Ani- mals.”” His audience was so large that not a seat was vacant in the church and, besides, many chairs were occupied in the rear. < Mr. Gardner said thav men are ofien cruel to animals while kind to people about them. The man who keeps the law of kindness will be kind to children and to beasts of all kinds that God has given him dominion over. God has not given man dominion over animals to do as one vleases with them. There are cretain rights which men bave over animals, the right to use them for food, for instance, wgich is given by the law of Moses and of Curist. He continued: *‘Chbrist cooked fish for bis disciples, but Idon’t think he cooked them as fish are cooked for you now." ‘Tnen the preacher narrated an instance that came under his notice, where a lobster was boiled alive to give it a nice red color. He also knew of a woman on the plains who put live fish on the coals and watched them squirm in their agony, and then ate them. *'God has created scores of animals,’”’ he said, “for us to domesticate for our own uses. There are certain circumstances where a horse may suffer righteously for the benefit of man. can_con- ceive of a circumstance where a horse may be ridden to death and not against the law of kindness—:o save a human life. “‘But the ternble driving and riding for sport are evidence that the driver is under the influence of Satan, and not only a violator of the laws ¢f California, but of the higher law of heaven. We do not violate the great law of kindness when we use animals for our legitimate purposes. “Ican see no violation of the law of God in keeping pets in the family, yet sometimes we violate the law of Christ when we turn children over to the nurse and let the dog take their place. When the mother does so she 13 violating the great law of kindness. If a man will abuse animals he will sometimes abuse his children. One of the things God requires of us is to furnish animals around us with good food and with shel- ter. “The great law of heaven, this law of kindness, is higher than the law of honesty, and the man who is violating that law is breaking that which is bigher than the law, ‘Thou shalt not steal.’ I believe itis right that animals sbould be ?rotec!_ed irom being wantonly and waste- ully destroyed, In this country to-day thousands of birds are wantonly slaugh- tered for decorating women’s hats. In one year in Missonri 500,000 red birds were kided for trimming of bats. They were caught in trapsand skinned alive. God has not created birds for that purpose. I don’t think women are cruel, but merely forgetful and I hope that in future some of the ladies present will wear something eise in their hat: e e————— An experienced farmer asserts that if one-half of the fruit of a heayily luden tree is removed by picking the remainder will be of better quality.
