14 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SUNDAY, D ECEMBER 27, 1896. DEMOCRATS MEET IND SAW WooD It Was the Quietest Politi- cal Meeting on Record. | Mr. Rainey’s Absence Had an Alarmingly Dispiriting Effect. They Met to Talk About the Disposi- tion of Patronage, but Were t Stricken Dumb. i | | | There was a stamping of feet and one or two hurrabs when Sam Braunhart, Sena tor-elect, walked into Democratic head- quarters in the Flood building last even- | | raunhart received this flattering | because he was one of the few d by political fortune, and the room- of men who were waiting to be so favored looked upon him as a mascot, as no doubt he would be in reality if politics were a baseball zame.

Riordan, who had been favored by the party in years gone by, before the Republicans rose up and dusted the earth with tvem, and Mr. Braunhart. having taken a cold, critical survey of the repre- Democ sitting around the hair and chewed a tooth- n Francisco Assembly t had gathered in re- | sponse to a call by some rash Democrats | for a conference as to the manner in which age in the hands of the ne emocrazic officials should be dis- :d. It was apparent long before the | opened that the gentlemen were 1g under the alarming disadvant- being without the benefit of the| I 1€ Tep; cts | presence and the wisdom of Samuel Rainey | and Ga and M n McNab.

There were some sixty or seventy in the when Chairman W. P.

But Mr. Hassett seemed to be coy and | undecided, for he neither moved nor | spoke. | “Ot, no; we can’t do that,’’ said the | chair. “We've got to do something, gen- | tlemen, if only to make,a bluff at it.”’ Mr. Hassett took the cue, and walked up to the platiorm with a piece of paper in bis hand. *‘Well, Mr. Chairman,” he said, *‘I offer this resolution.” The resolution was to the effect thata | committee of three be selected by the ! meeting to confer with the Board of Su- pervisors and other newly elected officers at the earliest possibie day, not later than | Tuesday evening next, to ascertain in what manner and in what proportion the patronage of the party should be appor- 110ne “Is there a second fo that resolution?’’ inquired the chair. *‘Some of those gen- tlemen who were a0 vociferous in their applause when Mr. Hassett came forwara ouzht to second that resolution.” | The delicate bit of sarcasm failed to | sting. There was nothing in the resoiu- tion about Sam, and it would have been | NEW TO-DAY. Woman’s Realm. MAKE THE HOME A BLESSING. The Love of Children is Innate in the Heart of every True Man and i Woman. | All that is beautiful and lovely in wo- man, finds its climax in motherhood. How often we find among our American women that longing for the prattling | voice, the idol of their waiting hearts. It is a nmatural instinct, this yearning of the heart for offspring; yet the wife hesi- tates to talk with the family physician on this delicate subject. A good way to do is to send for a medical book on “Woman and Her Diseases,” (168 pages) sent, sealed in a plain envelope, on receipt of 10 cents in stamps, for postage, if you address the World’s: Dispensary Medical | Association, Buffalo, N. V. The reflections of a married woman are not pleasant if she be delicate, run- down, or debilitated. She feels “playe;d out.” Her smile and her good spirits | have taken flight. It worries her hus- band as well as herself. This_is the time to build up her strength and cure those weaknesses or ailments which are the cause of her trouble. Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescrip- tion regulates and promotes all the pro- per funetions of womanhood, improves digestion, enriches the blood, dispels aches and pains, melancholy and nerv- ousness, brings refreshing sieep, and re- stores perfect health and strength. It's a safe remedial agent, an invigor- ating tonic and nervine which cures all those disorddrs, weaknesses and derange- ments incident to womanhood. | sensus of opinion | by | high treason for any one to think of ask- ing the newly elected officers anything whatever about patronage. Mr. Sullivan exercised his greatest powers of persuasion. “Second it in order to bring it before the house for dis- cussion and consideration,”” he urged. “I second that,” called out some one, so hastily that only those sitting next him were aware of his identity. “All in favor of the adoption of this resolution, give assent by saying L.”” Noteven a dull thud followed the in- vitation. “Those opposed, say no.” Three faint half-hearted noes went up. It was evident that the meeting was not prepared to beard Mr. Rainey even in his absence. Then on the urgent appeal of the chair Mr. Hassett, the rash, desperate man who had introduced the resolution, arose and said: *It has always been understood in the party that any of the patronage we may succeed in securing at the election would be divided among the districts. I under- stand from such members of the Board of | Supervisors as I have interviewed that that is their disposition, and it is the con- that this should be done.” The chair put the vote again, but the voices in response were so weak that he called for a rising vote. Hassert and Riordan were the only ayes and there were five noes, headed by John Foley and John Ryan. “Then this conference is adjourned,” announced the chairman, putting on his hat. It is expected that the silent conference will talk loud enough about January 5, Rainey or no Rainey. MUSICAL CLUBS GO SOUTH. Glee, Mandolin and Banjo Clubs From the State University Will Leave To-Day On an Extended Tour. BERKELEY, CaL., Dec. 26.—The largest and probably the best musical combina- tion ever put out ot the University of California will leave Berkeley to-morrow for Southern Californta on a two-weeks’ concert tour. Korty-tive college men, making up the Glee, tha Mandolin and the Banjo clubs, will form the party. They will visit nearly all the towns of importance in the southern part of the State, including Santa Barbara, Santa | Paula, Ventura, Pasadena, Santa Monica, Los Argeles, San Diego, Riverside and Santa Ana. At almost every town the friends of the university have arranged to entertain the young collegians with par- ties and receptions, This will be the first tour ever attempted the three-named clubs together, and the entire list of forty-five makes up the largest aggregation of concert tourists that ever left the university on sucha long trip. Each year the glee club has made it a practice to take an extended tour during the Christmas vacation, but at no time hitherto have more than twen- ty-five men been 1n the party. Last year they went to Oregon and Washington for several weeks, and some of the club went even as far as Alaska. A long trip South has not been attempted for three years on account of the loss incurred on the last one. They expect to be more succéssful this time, however, and to insure good houses they will vary the performances with music by the three clubs rather than one as heretofore. Manager Frank P. Taylor of the glee club left to-day for Los Angeles to make the final arrangements for the concerts. Following is the personnel of the three organizations: Glee club—B. G. Somers, director; F.

OOMUS CLUB CONQUERS. Vanquishes the Crocker Football Team by a Score of 8 to 0. The football match between the Comus and the Crocker teams on Friday resulted in the victory of the former aggregation. The game was played at Central Park, and the luck was with the Comus boys throughout, except at the beginning of the second half, when the Crockers made a bard fight. For the Crockers, Thrasher, left end, and Evans, left half, especially distin- guished themselves, while for the Comus long runs were made by Reddy, left guard, and Fisher, left tackle.

OAKLAND, CaL., Dec. 26.—There was a lively scene in Kahn’s drygoods store to- night. Earl Stimpson, son of a doctor, is employed at the store and yesterday his father gave him $5 as a present. To-day voung Stimpson asked the cashier to change it and he was at once suspected of stealing it. The lad was terribly grieved and ran home to his father. Dr. Stimpson came to the store, met Mr. Kahn and for a few minates things were consideratly mixed. ———— ENDED WITH A BULLET. Otto G. Henser Died Among 'the Deer in Golden Gate FPark. The body of a fairly well-dressed man was found in the west end of the deer park at Golden Gate Park yesterday morn- ing. Near by was a revolver. A closer inspection showed an ugly bullet wound in the dead man’s head, and one of the chambers of the weapon recently emptied. These showed that another had tired of | the world, and taken the revolver route to | end his troubles. In the man’s pocket was the following letter: DECEMBER 26, 1896. To the Coroner—DEAR SIR: Money come tos n end, health poor, ergo, suicide. Please notify the Imperial German Consulate. Respeci- fully, . ° OTTO G. HENSER.

JOHNSTON'S CHECKS WERE VERY SHY A Transaction in Which Merchants Proved Cau- tious. ‘ Why Large Consignments Were Intercepted on the Steamer Protection. The Samuel M J.hnston Company | Dissolved and Vanished With the | Sudden Discovery. { In certain mercantile circles there have been considerable speculation and com- ment over the last transaction of the Samuel M. Johnston Company, through | which the company went to pieces in a re- | markable hurry. The Johnston concern | was engaged in commission business, with offices at 421 Market street, but two weeks ago, at 4 o'clock on a Saturday afternoon, the offices were vacated. The furniture | and fittings were moved ort *in a hurry,” as the janitor of the building said, and no | notice was left bebind to inform people | it had taken itself. Inquiry at the building was met with the unsatisfactory response, *'Don’t know anything about them. Many people have called-here looking for information, but | nobody seems to know where the com- pany went. No address was 1 The company got out of here suddenly Satur- day afternoon.” The last deal of the concern involved about $3000, but it was not a successful one, and it practically putanendto John- | ston’s business ventures. About Decem- | ver 1 the Johnston Company ordered | merchandise fron: different local houses | amounting in the aggregate, so far as could be learned, to $3000. The merchandise was for Bay City, Or., and the value of the goods shipped on the | steamer Protection December 12 was | about $2200. But they never reached their | destination, for the developments of a day | or two after the goods left port on the steamer were of such a nature that stopped delivery, When the Protection put 12 at Hobsonville, Or., there were verious dispatches from San Francisco in- tercepting the property and instructing the purser to hold it at Bay City pending farther directions from the shippers. One of the heaviest shippers was Till- mann & Bendel, the wholesale grocers, whose manager explained the transaction yesterday. “Mr. Jobnston came to us,”” said he, “with an order for goods. He stated that the goods were for a lumber-aill, and he wouid call with'a check for payment the | day after the steamer sailed. The check | did not come that day, nor the next day, and we telegraphed to hold the goods. | Johnston made some arrangement with mill at Bay City, so we were given to understand. Kimball was to ship lumber to this City, and inreturn Johnston was to supply him with supplies for his store. Johnston gave out that the goods were wanted at once, and he could not possibly have money until at best the day after the Protection sailed. Then, he said, he would come with a check, and so the goods were sold for cash. “We learned subsequently that other houses had filled orders for the Johnston company, but these transactions all ended alike.” The Samuel M. Johnston Company was incorporaled in January, 1892, and among its airectars were 8. W. Fuller, furniture- manufacturer, and E. D. Shattuck, the Front-street merchant, who took one share each of $50. It did not do any business worth while and went by the board. Meanwhile John- ston, the chief member, engaged in com- mission business on his own account, | doing business under his own name. About four months ago he revived the corporation, though the two prominent men named took no part in its proceed- ings, of which they had no knowledge. Offices were taken at 421 Market street, and the concern was ready for business as manufacturers' agent on a pretentious scale. Things went along until the recent deal with the Bay City people. Then creditors in town sought for information from the mercantile agencies, and as the result they refused to deliver goods shipped to O1egon. Johnston had an interview with the manager of Wells, Fargo & Co.’s Bank a few weeks since. He explained that one member of the company, E. P. Rowe, had taken 4000 shares and that he himself had 6000 shares. Rowe, Le added, was daily expecting $10,000 from tbe East as money due in some kind ot a family legacy or the like. These representationsj appeared satis- factory and a bankbook was given tu the company. The bank, however, made an investigation on its own account, and the Johnston Company made no deposits, nor secured any accommodation from the bank. 2 Some time ago Johnston was engaged in the insurance business and became in- volved, and the heaviest loser was Brown, Craig & Co., who still hold claims for something like $3000.

PRINTING-HOUSE FIRE. Fireman McCabe, Who Was Hurt at the Francis-Valentine Blaze, Better. Fire Marshal Towe and Captain Com- stock of the Fire Patrol e made an investigation into the Francis-Valentine Company fire at 510 Commercial street on Christmas day. They are satisfied that the big blaze was caused by the sponta eous combustion of a pile of rubbish in | the printing office. The boilers and | furnaces are located under the floor and it is believed that the heat from these did much toward starting the blaze. The injured fireman, Peter McCabe, ‘was examined carefully yesterday morning by Dr. Morse and other physicians at the Hospital. They found that sustained severe concussion of the brain and spine, with contusions and lacera- tions innumerable. There were also in- | dicatious that some internal trouble was present but its extent was not determin- | able. As tar as could be ascertained there was no fracture of the skull. All in all, the man seemed much better and the | doctors entertained strong hopes of his ultimate recovery. = .

Effects Produced by Reversing the Film and Varying the Motion. An odd experiment with the kinetoscope took place not long ago in Boston. The subject was a man eating dinner, and the film, prepared especially for the occasion, was of unusual length, so that the whole periormance could be recorded. The man a table, proceeded to cut up‘the food. The | motion of the fork from the plate to his | lips was carefully recorded until the last morsel of food had vanished. Then he | arose and walked out of the room, leaving nothing on the table but bare dishes. The | series of pictures was then reversed. It showed the man entering the room back- l ward. He sat down at the table at which there was nothing but bare dishes and proceeded to extract food from his lips untii he had filled the potato dish with gether on the platter beiore him. Then he camiy backed out of the room, and the wailter aid likewise with the meal that the | man had apparently createa. | Exhibitors of the cinematograph and biograph, and all the other “graphs” and “scopes’ of the same family are missing a voint nere in New York which, if prop- erly brought out, would prove to be an interesting part of the performance. The principle of these machines affords scope for a great deal of novelly, especially when the ribbon or long film is reversed and made to run backward, or when the pictures are produced at varying speeds. n the case of the phonograph little amusement is afforded by reversing the cylinder, as the result is a conglomeration of disconnected syllables, but with the | kinetoscope, a variety of speeds, from very fast to very slow, will give interesting re- sults. Take, for example, the picture of Niagara Falls, where the foam is seen to rise from the water as it falls into the pool below. Here the water would ascend -and run back smoothly over the brink and dis- appear in the distance—a bewildering effect. Still another novelty might be produced with the picture of the Empire State Ex- press, which is seen to approach and pass at the rate of nearly sixty miles an hounr. | It probably never ran backward as fast as that, but it could be made to do so on canvas. The last car would appear first in the piciure, and tinally the engine, the whole train vamshing & mile or so down | the track, where, in the true picture, it first came into view. In a like manner the sound-money parade might be turned into a farce, for here the men wouid be seen actually walking backward. \ The biograph, cinematograph and other machines of that nature merely show kinetoscope pictures enlarged by means of a stereopticon lens. All the pictures | shown in the theaters are of moving ob- jects taken while the machine itself is at Test, but a double effect may be produced by having the machine move, too, A good example of this double effect could be made by placing the machine on the front of a Broadway cable-car and making a trip of several blocks down Broadway; or, better still, by taking the curves at Fourteenth st. This picture thrown on a screen in a darkened theater while some one shouted ‘‘Hold fast” would make a scene familiar to every New Yorker, as the view, looking through the front win- dow of the car, would be.naturally de- picted. It 18 probable that cinemato- graph and biograph operators have re. frained from these amusing exhibitions, as the effect would not be readily unaer- sfood and some time would be required to explain the reason for it.—New York Sun. ————— The Yellow River i< styled the “Sorrow of China.” During the last century it has changed its course twenty-one times, and now flows into the sea through a mouth 300 miles. distant from that of 100 years ago. —————— AUCTION Diamonds, Watches and Jewelry.

Market-Street Company Wiil Ad- dress the Merchants’ Asso- ciation. Quantities of Swecpings That Naver Reach the Boxes Provided by the Merchants, The authorities of the Market-Street Railway Company have recently made a discovery that will probably result in a vigorous protest being filed with the Mer- chants’ Association within a short time. The company finds that the slot of its cable road on the lower part of Market street is rapidly being filied with the debris of the thoroughfare through the operations of the men who clean the streets and that it will be necessary within a short time to clean out the chamber in | which the cable runs, though no such operation should be necessary for several | months to come. The company attaches no blame what- ever to the association, believing that its officers are unaware of the grounds of the | complaint, but they will oe asked to have the sweepers instructed to do less sweep- ing on the space Leitween the rails and more in places where the debris is less likely to fall into the slot. One of the employes of the road, who keeps a watchful eye on the tracks, says that the amount of sweepings dropped into the slot is twice as large on the lower part of Market street as it was under the | old system and that it will cost the com- pany considerable money to remove tue! e nese men have become experts,” he said, “and I have been watching them lately to see just bow far they will carry the little game. Of course the space be- tween the rails is the smoothest place to sweep and the men choose to use it. “They sweep from both sides until they have a respectable pile over the slot and then they start down the block toward the nearest pox, into which they intend to dump the stutf. The debris is well broken up before they start and the larger vor- “You would suppose that the pile wou'd increase as the distance it was swept lengthened, but I uave actually seen it diminish to half 1ts original size in going a quarter of a block, and sometimes one shovelful would cover all that was placed in the box. ‘“The men have learned to flirt the dirt sidewise, so that it runs in a line right over the slot, and haif of the labor is saved for the sweepers, but work is made for the company’s employes. It is a tedious job for men to drag their scraping irons under the cable and then hoist the dirt up to the level of the street, and it takes a gang of laborers several days to clean out the slot from where the sweepers begin vptown to the ferries. i sha!l make a report to the company shortly, and I suppose the matter will be called to the attention of the Merchants’ Association.” AN AERIAL TORPEDO. Will Be Floated Over an Euemy and Drop a Charge of Dynamite. The torpedo consists of a small-sized gas-filled balloon, capable of sustaining for any length of time from thirty to forty feet above the earth. Inside of the lower or small end of the balloon is placed a metal cylinder, which contains an elec- trical device, the purpose of which is to | ignite the gas in the balloon at any stated period. Underneath the balloon is sus- pended a case or basket containing a high explosive similar to dynamite, which ex- plodes with terrific force when striking a bard substance like the earth or walled | embankments. Inaction the management of the torpedo is described as very easy and simple, the inventor stating that a corporal’s gnard can with it accomplish what would require a large force to do by the usual methods now employed in the siege of cities or the scattering of large bodies of troops. The torpedo complete is small ana compact, and a large number | can be carried by a few men or a pack | animal. | NEW TO-DAY—DRY GOODS. - HOLIDAY GOODS!

To use the aerial torpedo effectively. all that is necessary is to approach as near as possi- sired to take effect, and to ascertain the direction of the lower air current and the velocity of the same per hour. The length of time it would take for the air current to carry the torpedo over the objective point can thus be ascertained, and the electrical device set at the proper hour or minute. The balloon part is then inflated, the tor- pedo released, and the air current will convey the torpedo to the point desired. | As soon as the time has expired as set in | the electrical device an electric spark will ignite the gas in the balloon, causing it to earth.
