These cards will be divided into three classes, and they will be those of suspended, and the dead. The cards will be placed in spe- cially constructed racks that fit in & cabi net, “arranged in alphabetical order, that after finding the name of an indivi ual by means of what is known as Grave's index, the most intellizent index ever pre- pared, the card can be found in a minute, and that tells the standing of the member atonce. Under the old system it would take & long researcn through applications, reports, files and books, and the searcher was lucky if he could get a satisfactory record in balt an bour. “But_to sccomplish what has already been obtained has required a great deal of 1abor. There has been the overhauling of more than 34,000 original papers to as- another have been cerzain the name, ivity, occupation and other duta to make the preliminary entries. Then tnere was the search to discover the progress of a member after having been admitted into the order and his standing on the last day of the last ar. 1t has taken time and as the phrase a great deal of ‘digging.’ he cards are numbered numerically in the order of the issuance of beneficiary certificates. The first one is that issued to William H, Wood, a member of Cali- fornia Lodge No. 1, who is still alive, now in his sixtieth year and a resident of St. Helena, Napa County, where he is raising | vines. He was at the time he joined a printer in the employ of Joe Winterburn and was with him for many years. a past master workman of his lodge, but he has never occupied any higher posi- | tion, not being anxious for office. “From these cards,” continued the grand recorder, “there has to be made up the statistical tables arded to the statistical commission. These are made out on sheets specia v ! prepared by the commission and when completed will be of incalculable value to the order in determining upon examina- tion of the deaths, occupations and other information the class of people who, as ‘hi)' say in insurance circles, ‘are the best risks.’ Now that the card entries are almost finished it will not require much time to keep up the record of each individual mempber. This is the only order that has done this work, and now that it is done it will prove a great convenience.” AGAINST A OOMMISSION, Ex-Mayor Sutro Issues an Address to the People of America, Ex-Mayor Sutro has issued the follow- . ing, entitied “The True Question Before Congress,” addressed to the people of the United States: Ignominiousiy beaten in the four last ses- s10ns of Congress in its desverate efforts to pess a funding bill, the octopus, still deter. mined to carry the day, has concocted an art- ful scheme, 1nnocent on its surface, by which it intends 'to realize its original aims and maintain the monopoly and mastery over the whole Pacific Coast for possibly a century to -come, ensiaving and demoralizing the people and practically ruling over them with an iron 70d, besides in-all probability defrauding the Government in the end of its just duss, * To have & commission to settle the C Pacific indebted: R 1hsn refunding. ness would be more dangerous it decided to | the living ana in good | standing, the living who for one cause or | Heis | that bave to be for- | What hes the United States | 803 Kearny sircet. _| cisco Printing Pressmen’s Union No. 24, | held on Wednesday, February 17,and ata | special meeting of Bookbinders' Protec- | tive and Benefic.al Association of San Francisco No. 31, held on Thursday, Fet 18, the following resolutions were | nanimously adopted: , Governor James H.

Knight. Final Settlement as to Who Is State Board of H:alth Attorney. Office Dzclared to Bs Not Elective, but One of Gubernatorial Appointment. Garret W. McEnerney remains now in undisputed possession of the office of at- torney for the State Board of Health, and George A. Knight is an ‘tex.” The Supreme Court in bank has at last decided in very terse style in only two type-wrilten pag Knight was appointed attorney for the State Board of Health by ex-Governor Markham under the provisions of an act of June 18, 1891. July 11, 1895, Governor Buda appointed Dennis encer as Knight's successor, but Knight refused to vacate, Spencer began action against Knight, and judgment was rendered in favor of the former. An appeal to the Supreme Court was taken from thisdacision. When | Spencer died McEnerney was appointed as his successor. Knight claimed the right to retain the office from the language employed in the latter part of section 1 of the act creating “'shall hold his office as such attorney for the term of four years and until his su cessor is elected and qualified,’” while for- mer language recites that ‘‘such attorney shall be appointed by the Governor.” In rendering aecision the Supreme Court asserts that there is no provision in the section or elsewhere upon the statute- book that the office shall be provided for by an election. That construction fails to give effect to the provisions aeclared with definiteness and attributes a controlling effect to a provision which is merely suo- sidiary and incidental to the purpose of the act. Accordingly the court argued | that Knight's contention that his suc- | cessor had not been properly elected and qualified was not based upon good | grounds. “The additional words, ‘until his suc- cessor is elected and qualified,’” so the text of the decision runs, “cannot have the effect to overcome the previous dec!; | ration that the ofhcer is to be,‘appointed, or justify an inference that the office should be elective. “That the provision in the act that ‘such attorney shall be appointed by the Goy- ernor,’ was intended by the Legislature to apply to future incumbents of the office is also corroboratea by the fact that no the officer, or the constituency by which he should be elected.” | Accordingly the judgment of the lower | court was affirmed.

The business of smuggling opium stitl goes on despite the apparent efforts of the customs officers to put a stop to the prac- tice. The stuff is brought into this port from Victoria, Panama and from China direct, but the authorities are on:y able to | seize small quantities at long intervals, From all appearances the large dealers and smugglets are able to keep outof sight and free from molestation. The Iatest in the opium smuggling line | to come to the surface was the seizure of eight tins of opium that was being sent to Portland,Or.,through Wells, Fargo & Co.’s express, and the arrest of the consignor, Ah Jeong. The arrest and seizure were made late Friday night by Special Agent Jackson and Chinese [nterpreter Harry Huff. Although Portland lies geographi- cally nearer to Victoria than to San Fran- cisco, still it appears as though it is easier to get the drug into this City and ship it more than half "the distance. Whether this seizure will lead to other seizures remains to be seen, for the arrest- ing officers are very reticent about giving out any of the facts of tne case. ISTERN RATES FIED, Chicago Men Will Have to Pay $76 50 to See the Carson Fight. Prominent Nebraskans En Route Here to Raise Money for the Exposition. The round-trip rates to Carson from as far East as Chicago were finally estab- lished yesterdav, and General Passenger Agent Goodman received a dispatch to | that effect. Itread: | The rates authorized from Chicago are €76 50; from St. Louis, §72 50; from Missouri River points, the latter on sale Marcn 12 and 13. The tickets wiil be on sale in Chicago | A continu- | Qus passage is required in each direction. The final return 'imit is March 25. These are on the basis of one fare to Ogden and 35 thence. The dispatch was sent out from the | headquarters at Chicago. L “This is the last of the rates,” said Mr. Goodman. “Everythingis fixed now, and we are through with it. Iam gladit is all aajustea.” Mr. Goodman was notified from Omaha yesterday that G. W. Wattles, president of the Trans-Mississippi Exposition, and some twelve of the leading men of Omahe bad started in a special Pullman car for San Francisco via Portland. The object, as stated, was to visit the various Legis- latures in reference to appropriations for the exposition to be Leld at Omaha in 1898, For this Congress has appropriated $100,000. However, there is not enough money by far, as would appear, to carry out the grand idea of the exposition, and a strong effort will be made to get more. The Omaha visitors ought to arrive here in a few days. ————— False Imprisonment.

The Ore Much Richer and More Plentiful Than He Had Supposed. Western Union Wires Are Now There, and the Santa F: Is Expected in Ninety Days. Hugh McDonnell, who negotiated the sale of the Iron Mountain mines, Shasta County, and who is widely known as an experienced mining man, has returned to | the City after a visit to Randsburg. Mr. McDonnell is well pleased with what | He says there is a good | he saw there. deal more ore than he expected and it is rich. The ore has to be hauled a long distance 1o the mills in many cases, and $20 ore, which would be regarded as big in many sections, is as yet nct handled. When the town gets water piped in in abundance from Owens River or some other contiguous place sixty or seventy miles a way, and the railroad to bring coal and other fuel, atl the cheaper ore may be worked. He says Randsburg has the in- dications of a big camp. In appearance the place is much like Elko, only the hills are not quite 30 high; but in business the country is quite sug- | gestive of Elko. Just over the hill, three- quarters of a mile away, is Johanaesburg, the new town, which he thinks will be the center of the district. It bas a good site, is well laid outand is protected from the wind, which blows pretty steadily on tue | west side. *'1 was quite surprised to see what I did about the district,” said Mr. McDounell; “it is a good deal richer than I had thougkt it was. There are lots of mines there and they are paying well. There are six mills and they are ail running. “Quite & number of the mines pot into pay ore three or four feet from the sur- face. The ledges hold out, too, as iar as the development has gone. One of the mines is down 160 feet, and the depth gained has been in all respects satisiac- Tory so far as the ledge is concerned. ‘It is claimed there are 3000 people there. I suppose there are 2000 or 2500 anyway. The roads to the mines are just strung with teams hauling all kinds of freights. There are four or five stages a day, all the stages being loaded. ““The Santa Fe Railroad, 1t is said, will be completed to Jjohannesburg in ninety days. Work is tao be commenced next week from Kramer. Santa Fe employes have been buying lots in Johannesburg lately. That is where the road will go. The Western Union Telegraph Company reached the district vesterday from Kia- mer. **Of the two towns Randsburg is by far the larger. Its buildings are of all kinds, with a heavy srrinkling of tents. The other town only hasa few hundred people. “I have changed my mind a good deal in regard to the desert. I used to think the desert was no account for gold min- ing, but from the developments I have seen I am convinced that probably some of the biggest of mines are there. Good Oanly $50 or $60 ore is being worked. | | ledges have been found recently right on the flat desert. | _“Tne interest in Randsburg has caused many to go out on the desert, and now they are prospecting in different parts of it. "0id prospectors who have been over it what they have hitherto found. The gold | development has given everybody cour- | age.” | "Mr. McDonnell has not bought any- | thing ir the camp, though he says he has had a man looking around there for some time. | | | |TO HAVE A TOURNAMENT, | The Pacific Athletic Association So De- cided at Lust Might’s Regular Monthly Session.
