Strongly in Favor of the Salva- tion Army Plan of Col- onization. MEETING OF THE CITIZENS’ COMMITTEE. Major Winchell Has Prepared a Com- prehensive Report of the Pro- posed Scheme. While thoss at Washington and in this City who are opposing the obrogation of the Hawaiian treaty, are devoting their time to arguments and petitions pro- even organization of the committee Was effected. ! Colonization schemen were discussed, but soon the entire committes was ab- | sorbed in the sugar-beet indusiry and the | feasibility of establishing colonies of un- | employed on lands suitable for the raising of the saccharine bulb. z Butler, who is a stockbolder in the Ala- | meda Suzar Company, strongly advocated | the idea and sugrested that some of the | committee wait upon Claus Spreckels and | also on James Coffin, the latter being in- | terested in the Alumeda beet-sugar fac- | tory. Before the meeting adjourned | Major Winchell and ex-Mayor Ellert were | empowered to call on Claus Spreckels to- | duy and get nis views on the proposition. | When the matter was brought to the | attention of the man who has so success- | fully inaugurated and established the | beet-sugar industry in California his face | beamed with the anticipatea pleasure of | being able to be of assistance in solving in | a most satisfactorv way a troublesome | social and industrial preblem. “I shall be most happy to do everything I can to aid this projecy,” said the sugar c certainly a good one for many reasons. Al that I shall ask on my pari is that tbe men be industrious. Ii they prove to be so they will have no difficuity m not only msking a hiving, but in acquiring a competence and even be- | coming the owners of homes. The oppor- tunities exist, and it will remain with the | men themse!ves to use them properly. | “Men who are willing to work on farms is what this State needs, and there is no better field than in the raising of sugar beets. There are now more than a hun- dred families who were installed on lands | which I owned. I provided them with | shelter and had my men instruct them in | their work. They ars now all in a fair | way to shortly own their own farms, for | the profits are very large. | ““When the sugar factory near Salinas | is completed next vear we will be able to utilize the product of 40,000 acres of land, while there are now not more than 12,000 acres grown to beets in that section of | the State. When it is understood that sugar-beet farming gives employment to | forty men where grain-growing furnishes | work to only one man, the people will | comprekend “the importance of encourag- ing the industry in everv possible way. ‘It is because I realize the importsnce 1 of this question to our laboring classes that 1 am opposed o the Hawaiian treaty. In Hawaii the laborers on the sugar plantations earn $12 a month, while | in California none get less than $2 a day | A\ A\ vided by interested persons, Claus Spreck- els is demonstrating by his acts that ab- rogation will be to the greatest advantage to the general weliare of the State. Not the least good that will follow as the result of the discontinuance of the ex- isting convention will be the solution of the question of the surplus labor of this City and the commonwealth at large. He stands ready to enter heart and soul into the colonization scheme of the Salvation Army and will co-operate ,to the axtent of providing lands, money und the benefit of his valuable exverience in the work of furnishing permanent means of livelihood for the unemployed. All he asks is that there be a sufficient guarantee that the men will be industrious. Claus Spreckels was bronght promi- nently into the situation at a meeting yesterday of the committee appointed at the Chamber of Commerce meeting about two months ago to consider the problem of the unemploy This committee com- prises ex-Mayor Eilert, George H. Max- well, George S. Montgomery, George E. Butter, ana Major W. W. Winchell of the Salvation Army. The main work of the committee was understood to be to devise ways and means to carry out the colonization scheme for unemployed suggested by Commander Bootb-Tucker. This com- mittee has heretofore deferred action, as the boulevard project temporarily lieved the situation, and it thought advisable to interfere with that matter as it afforded the readiest way out of the difficulty at that time. The boulevard being now near comple- tion the committee of five held the first meeting yesterdav at the office of Max- well. It was entirely informal, and not NEW TO-DAY. - BABY SKIN Inall the world there is no other treatment 80 pure, so sweet, so safe, 80 speedy, for pre- serving, purifying,and beautifying the skin, scalp, and hair, and eradicating every hu- mor, a8 warm baths with CUTICURA SOAP, and ‘gentle anointings with CUTICURA (oint- ment), the great skin cure. uticur Is s0ld throughout the world.

I have about completed negotiations | for 600 acres of fine beet iand. This Iam | willing 10 rent or sell on easy terms to | parties of colonists, and I will make it my | business 1o see that they receive proper instructions in_the practicable work of | raising beets. Further I will make con- | tracts with them to buy all the beets they | raise for $4 a ton. | “Then there is another large tract of about 6000 acres, for which 1 have espe- | cially imported & steam plow which turns | over the soil to a depth of seventeen | inches. This land has a top layer of adobe, which is very hard—almost impos- | sible—to work with an ordinary plow and | horses. ~ With the steam plow we will g0 | beneath the adobe to the sedimentary soil below and work the two togetner. 1t will then make the best kind of lund for sugar beets. The work of vlowing this up will be commenced shortly, and as fast as it is brought into condition it will also be placed at the service of those who are at the bead of this colonization scheme, if they want it. “I want to say thatall this land is pecu- | liarly adapted to sugar - beet growing. Were itnot I would not have bought it. It will average from fifteen to twenty tons of beets to the acre.” In conclusion Mr. Spreckels senten- tiously remarked: *'If the men are in- dustrious they will make money: if they | are not, they. shouid be made to give place to others.” In connection with the Salvation Army colonization scheme to secure rural homes for the unemployed Major W inchell has prepared a comprehensive report of what itshould be and what it is hoped to ac- complish by i The idea is to acquire public and private |lands for the survius population of the State, who may by their industry applied | to such lands gain a livelihood, and in | time their own homes. Similar work in England, India and Australia, it is claimed, resuited in the most abandoned city characters becoming contented set- tlers of the soil. It is hoved that three- fourths of ail .the unemployed will avail tuemselves of the opportunity to ac- guire a home in the countrv, and that many who are now earning small wages | will aiso be induced to change urban for | suburban employment which promiscs tuture independence. Should the first colony prove a success it is belicved many capitalists will be in. fluenced to invest money in setiling what are now idle and unprofitable lands in the State, and will do away with “the humil- iating system of temporary reliel.” There would be no excuse for any one begging. Major Winchell states in his report that he has been offered 300,000 acres of land since the visit of Commander Booth- Tucker. Among the more desirable lands he mentions those of the Waiker estate in Sonoma County, the Cotate ranch and the Kenwocd property in the same county, {and some of the lands of the Cremelita Vineyard Company of Fresno County. Itis proposed to limit the holding of each settier to not more than ten acres, as it is believed this area can be worked to the best advantage by one person. Forty acres will be rererved for army head- quarters. Ten acres will be used for build- ings, and thirty acres for stock and train- L . ing purposes. The proposed headquarters are described in detail as follows: On the ten acres would be erected the cen- tral headquarters and office, with & bank to facilitate the interchange of products, and an experienced accountans to keep_account and report to the headguarters in San Franeisco and Now York. Here the governor or super- intendent of the colony would have his o He would have the general oversight of the entire colony. This headquarters building could be subdivided into offices for the agri- cultural teacher, or direcior, and other as- sietants in general. There would also be a large store for the interchange of products, also a blacksmith-shop, packing-house, barber- shop, factory, dairy, aud a large incubator, under the direction of an experienced fowl- breeder, who would look after this eutire branch throughout the colony. There would be a building for a public hall and ciub- rooms for the development of the social in- terests of the colonists, also & schoolhouse, under competent teachers, who would teach sccordiag to the State laws covering public instruction. Detailed descriptions are given of the provision to be made for each colonist at the start, the method of discipline to be adopted, how products are to be ex- changed, how irrigation is to be accom- plished, how coloniets are to be encour- aged to put forth their best efforts, and how other industries are to bs developed in addition to agricultural pursuits. In discussing the financial phase of the project Major Winchell expresses the opinion that $25,000 will be necessary to lannch the scheme and that it can be secured either by popular_subscription or as a loan at a low rate of interest. 3 He suggests that a big public meeting be held in this City to discuss the matter, and that it be presided over by either the Mayor or the Governor; also that similar meetings be held in other cities, and that the press of the State be asked to take hold of the matter. S Colonel Holland of New York City, who is the National secretary of the social branch of the Salvation Army, and who has been detailed by Booth-Tucker to visit the Pacific Coast in the interest of the colonization movement, is expected to arrive here to-morrow morning. He will speak here Friday, and be given a public reception by his friends. JORDAK T BE INVITED, Mission Park Association Pro- poses to Educate the People. Series of Public Meetings Proj cted in the Interest of a Zoological Collecticn. The weekly meeting of the Mission Park Association was held at Center & Spader’s real estate office on Montgomery street yesterday afternoon, George D. Shadburne in the chair. T. V. 0’Brien, chairman of the commit- tee on distribution of circulars and signa- tures to petition, reported that there had been circulars issued to all parts of the City setting forth the park idea, and i conformity with this scheme he believed there bad been as many as 2000 names ap- pended already favoring the zoological collection with the greater park under- taking. The committee on memorial asked for further time m which to get itsideas properly before the people. This was granted. Georze Center suggested that public meetings be held all over the City, but particulariy in the Mission, at which the plans of the association would be properly placed before the people. % C. C. Bemis suggested that a memorial be prepared at once and isid before the Supervisors asking for an appropriation for a tract of land of not less than 100 acres. This, he thought, would effectually shut out the cemetery advocates. Colonel John O’Byrne suggested that Professor Jordan of Stanford University should be invited to deliver a lecture on the zoological feature of the park. This idea met with universal approval as being just the right thing as an educational ieature of ti e project. W. L. Williamson suggested that an appropriation be asked for at once. A. B. Maguire suggested that there be three public meetings arranged for in the Mission district. He considered that such a movement would fully and fairly bring the question before the gunl . and at one of those—the first—Dr. Jordan be invited to speak. Colonel O'Byrne moved that the secre- tary be instructed to communicate with Professor_Jordan, inviting him to give a lecture. This motion was carried, but was afterward amended by having a sub-com- mittee appointed, consisting of G. D. Shadburne, Dr. C. G. Kenyon, T. V. 0'Brien, Colonel John O'Byrne, George Center and Secretary McEwen. This body will arrange for 8 meeting with the man of learning from Palo Alto and make sait- able arrangements for his meeting in case he consents to deliver a lecture. The committee of nine as originally ap- pointed was given fuil power to make all suitable arrangements for public meetings. W THE HoME OF PEACE Impressive Funeral of Moses Dinkelspie', a Citizen of Suisun. Prominent Memb:rs of the Masonic and Odd Fellows’ Orders Attend the Remains to the Grave. The funeral of Moses Dinkelspiel, a prominent merchant of Suisun, and one of the trustees of the State Normal School of S8an Jose, who died on Mouday, took place in this City yesterday with im- pressive ceremonies. Toe obsequies were held under the auspices of Suisun Lodge No. 55, F. and A. M. All the flags in Suisun were at half-mast when the cortege started for San Francisco, It arrived about 11 o’clock and proceeded to the Home of Peace Cemetery. Worthy Master A. A. Dickie, assisted by about fifty fellow-members of his lodge, conducted the ceremonies at the grave. Rev. Dr. Voorsanger of the Tem- ple Emanu-Ei, of which congregation Mr. Dinkeispiel had been a member since its formation, delivered an eloquent eulogy and was followed in a touching address by A. F. Hitchcock, grand chap- lain of Suisun Loage No. 78, L. 0. O. F., of which Mr. Dinkelspiel was a member. The faculty of the State Normal School was represented by A. A. Randall, prin- cipal, ana C. W. Charies, professor. The honorary palibearcrs from San Francisco were: vi Strauss, Dr. Lipp- man Sachs, Bernhard Schweitzer and Herman Eppinger, all old friends of the deceased. From the Suisun Masonic Lodge were: R.D. Robbins, president of the Buisun bank: B. F. Rush, Sheriff of Solano County; Samuel Stewart, W. G. Davisson, Henry Harris and Jerome B. Richardson. ‘There was a large attendance from Sui- sun and this City. The floral tributes were many and beautiful, and in all re- spects the last ceremonies over the re- mains of this distinguished citizen were peculiarly solemn and worthy of the occasion. ——————— Quo Warranto Refused. Judge Belcher has sustained tbe demurrer to the complaint in the quo-warranto suit commenced by G. W. and R. R. Grayson, Tnomas Cole and others against M. W. Fox, McDonald and others to oust them {rom their positions as directors of the Hale & Norcross Mining Company. SOME MAY DELIGHT T0 BARK AND BITE But the Dogs at the Pa- vilion Are Docile and Bright. The San Francisco Kennel Club’s Skow Will Open This Fore- noon. Judging Will Comm' nce Immediately After the Big Beil in the Rafters Sounds. The San Francisco Kennel Club will open the doors of Mechanics’ Favilion at 10 o’clock to-day for those who desire to see dogs of divers colors, divers pedigrees, divers tongues and divers sizes and weights. It will be the inaugural bench show of a club which was organized only s few months ago for the sole purpose of giving bench shows, particular attention also to the breeding and care of dogs that are worth looking after. The Pavilion looks decicedly pretty in its doggy dress, with its long tiers of wire benching, whicn, by the way, are new to the local fanciers who have not had an opportunity of seeing how the dogs are cared for in New York, Chicago and other large Eastern cities, where the patent sys- tem of benching isall the go. The officers of the San Francisco Kennel Club are sanguine of the financial success of the show. They have certainly worked hard in its interests and there is hardly any doubt that the ladies and gentlemen who love to fondie a handsome dog will turn out en masse to see the big “‘bow- wows” and the little ‘‘snariers,” which kick up more fuss and discurbance than a regiment of St. Bernards. But the little dogs are just too cute for anyvthing. At least the ladies say so and, of course, what they say will be acquiesced in by the greatest of ali animals—man. E. M. Oldham, who wilt pass judgment on St. Bernards, mastiffs, collies, cocker spaniels, field spaniels, clumber spaniels, bulldogs, pugs and Yorkshire terriers, ar- rived from the East last Sunday evening, and was given a royal welcome by the club. He is very much pleased with the outlook, and predicts a flattering success for the club’s initial attempt at bench showing. Major J. M. Taylor was almost smoth- ered in mud last Sunday when driving in from the CL{f Housein the company of J. G. Barker, wno insisted that Mr. Tay- lor should have a peep at Sutro’s-barking sea lions before he had an opportunity of passing tis bands over the big dogs that will come under hisnotice to-day. The major will judge Great Danes, grey- hounds, foxhounds, deerhounds, blood- hounds, Russian wolihounds, pointers, all the setters, Chesapeakes, bull terriers, Newloundiands and Dachshundes. G. L. Waring wil! decide the fox-terrier dispute, and J. Otis Fellows will judge the balance of the classes. Among the large entry of dogs there are | many, yes, very many, beautiful cenines which will catch the eye of the fancy. Queen is a pretty animal of nigh blood. | She is by Donald-Lady Spec; Donald by Rush T-Patty Croxteth. Queen won first in novice class, also best pointer bitch in show and other specials at Sacramento in January last. She is owned by George Neale of Sacramento. 2 ‘The Great Dane dog Jupiter is the prop- erty of Don Ross of Sacramento and is valued at $§1000, He was bred by Lovdal brothers of Sacramento County, Cal. His pedigree speaks for itself: sire Kruger's Cezar J Ceasar- [Stre 10528 | Bela Prince Dam Lea ( Sultan- 10535 Flora Jupiter, wheiped | May 13,1895 | ( Wenzal 1st prize [ Lust- winner { Fulgga Dam | NY1893 {Ulma am Uima I The opening day of the bench show of the San Francisco Kennel Club is‘to have a special attraction, in which dainty little Edna Wallace Hopper and her Boston terrier, Consul, will be the star per- formers. Yeaterday the little lady sent a message to the directors of the club, asking that her dog be judged to-day at 2 P. M., as she intends leaving town shortly. In case her desire was granted she volunteered to lead the canine prodigy Into the presence of the judges herself. The courtesy will be extended her without doubt. The dog is of a rare breed and will have but two competitors at the show. He took a special prize at the bench show in New York, and Mrs. Hopper forthwith fell 50 deeply in love with his dogship that she went down deep into her pocket and fished up the sum of $1500 to have him all for her own. The pavilion is now in shipshape and ready for the performance 10 begin—weli- bred dogs, trick dogs, clown and all, They are all expected to be in by 10 A. ., and the judging will begin as near 11 o’clock as possible, Two rings have been arranged. Major J. W. Taylor will wield the sceptet in one and E. M. Oldham be monarch of ail he surveys inside the rails in another. The partitions in which the dogs ex- hibited are to be placed are wmade of wire netting. They were imported especially for the occasion, and s certain was guaranteed before they could at all. The club has been trying to obtain them for three years, and at last success has crowned its efforts.

Eighteen trick dogs have been secured to perform between the hours of jndgine in order 10 wnile away the monolony of waiting. In ‘addition’ the prize-winners for each day will be paraded every even- ing. There are nine dinner parties slated for to-morrow night among the local four hundred. at the end of which the respec- tive guests of each host will adjourn to Le Pavilion to see the show. The hosts ions will be Mr. and M 1897. Crocker, Miss Jennie Blair, Misas Van Ness, Robert Bolton, T. C. Grant and George Lent. THE PHENIX CLUB. Final Arrangements Made for the Pic- nic to San Jose Next Sunday. The Pheenix Republican Club held its monthly meeting in Scottish Hall last night and it was marked with the greatest enthusiasm. In the absence of the presi- dent, Colonel T. V. Eddy, the vice-presi- dent, Sylvester Shaben, cccupied the chair and Andy Branch, the secretary, was in his accustomed place. Over 500 members out of the total mem- bership of 1100 were present, and it looked as if the victory of the last campaign had lost none of its charm. The meeting was held more particularly to discuss the final details of the club pic- nic to be held atSan Jose next Sunday and to prepare a list of entertainments for the members and the guests on that oc- casion. The best possible arrangements to in- sure good order and a good time were Te- ported by the executive committee, who bave been untiring in their efforts to see that the club picnic will be one that will be long remembered with pleasure and profit by those participating in it, and free from the stigma with which So many similar affairs are generally branded. The trains will leave Third and Town- send streets at 9:15 Sunday morning and Twenty-sixth and Valencia streets a few minutes later, leaving San Jose on the re- turn trip about 6 p. M. FIGHT WITH A POLICEMAR A Crowd of Men on Carolina Street Attempt to Rescue Two Prisoners. The Officer Had to Use His Club and Threaten Them With His Revolver. James 8. Varni, a vegetable gardener on the Mission road, between the Five and Six mile houses, reported to the Seven- teenth-street police station yesterday ernoon that while he was driving along Carolina street two men jumped into his wazon and attempted to rob him of between $35 and $40 that he had in his pocket, Lieutenant Burke sent Policeman T. J. Connell with Varni to see 1f he could find the two men. When they got to Carolina street Varni pointed out Charles J. Smith and Robert Walner as the men. Connell attempted to arrest them and they showed fight. He drew his club and a tap on the head laid Smith on the ground. He managed to get the hand- cuffs on Walner, but several of Walner’s iriends came to his rescue, one of them with an iron bar in hia hand. 1t looked bad for the oflicer, and he drew his revol- ver and threatened to shoot if they inter- fered with him. They made a combined rush upon him, and in the struggle Walner got away with the handuffs dangling at bis wrists. Con- nel! pursued and overtook him, and as he threatened 10 perforate the first man who came near him, and looked as it he meant it, the crowd held back. Smith’s brother was the only one in the crowd that helped the policeman, and with his assistance he was able to take both his prisoners to the Seventeenth- street station in Varni’s wagon. ‘Whnen Varni got to the station he backed down from his former statement and would not say that the men attempted to rob him, so they were each charged with battery, and an additional charge was booked' against Smith for battery upon the policeman. SUBSTANTIAL ALIMONY. Angus McKay Compelled to Pay 8100 a Month for the Support of His Children. Angus McKay must pay $100 a month alimony to his divorced wife Emma Mc- Kay for the support and education of their two minor children. Judge Hunt made that order yesterday. This litigation has many novel features and was bitterly tought from start to finish by Attorney E. P. Cole on behalf of Mrs. McKay and resisted with great per- sistency by Attorney W. S. Goodfellow, who represented the husband. In 1884 Mrs. McKay secured a divorce and was awarded the custody of the minor chilaren. Both were poor and she did not think 1t worth while to ask for ali- mony. Five years later her ex-husband began to show signs of prosperity and she thougi't he ought to help her support tueir offspring. He agreed to contribute $20 a month, but made only one payment ot $10. Mr. McKay fell heir to $100,000 in March, 1894, and Mrs. McKay sought to have the allowance increased, so the case was reopsned in order to have that voint considered. After a long trial Judge Hunt decided that the lady is entitled to the relief demanded, and gave her judg- ment for $3750 for_ the past 37)¢ months and ordered that Mr. McKay snall con- tribute $100 a month hereafter until the cuildren attain their majority IT IS GOOD TUBERCULIN. Dr. Morse Telegraphs the Board of Henlth Regarding the Delayed Killing of Cows. Dr. Morse of the Board of Health, who recently went East on a combined pleas- ure and business trip, has telegraphed the secretary of the board from Washington that the tuberculin now in the possession of the local health authorities is all right, and that condemnation of cows made after tests with it should stand. The wire was sent after a consultation with the Washington authorities. Some time ago, before Dr. Morse started on his tour, a question was raised whether or not the age of the tuberculin which had been sent out from Washington would militate against its giving correct results when applied to cows suspected of being lnbercuruuq. The killing of the condemned cows was deferred on thisac- count, Dr. Morse's telesram sots the matter at rest. In his message he stated that a let- ter to Veterinary Surgeon O'Rourke, giv- ing instruction regarding tne destroying of the cows, would follow. - FOR ENDEAVORERS. A Successful Dinner at Plymouth Church Last Night. The Christian Endeavor dinner at the Piymouth Congregational Church last night was largely attended, fully 300 per- sons being present. The church was beautifully decorated with bunting, tia nd flowers, and after the dinner a number of short speeches were made by prominent members of the convention. 1he following were the speakers and subjects: “Seeing the Convention,” Rolla V.

Oakland and San Francisco Authorities Discuss Impure ¥ood and Its Suppression. A conference of the health authorities of Alameda County and San Francisco was held yesterday in the Health Office, those present being: Dr. J. P. Dunne, Health Officer of Oakland; Dr. Ryfkogel of the Oakland Board of Health; Dr. F. E. Pierce, veterinary surgeon of the Oakland Board; S. Smith, Sanitary Inspector of Oakland; Dr. H. N. Rowell of the Berke- ley Board of Health; Dr. Lovelace of the local board; Veterinary O'Rourke; In- spectors Davis and Déckery, and Secre- tary Godchaux. The matter of working in harmony and adjusting regulations to prevent impure food products from being imported to or exported from Oakland and San_Fran- cisco was discussed at length. It was found that the Uakland authorities were vested with much greater authority than the local board, and many valuable sug- gestions were given and received. Another conference will be held in the near future. e e Cut With a Penknife, Louis Rothschild owns & toy safe that holds twenty nickels. Walter Sweeny wanted to handle it yesterday, but Rothschild objected, and in the scuffle which followed Sweeny was cutin the paim of the hand with a penkaife held by Rothechiid. The latter was arrested and charged aL the California-street station with an assault with a deadly weapon. NEW TO-DAY. HE sick man knock. ing at the door gf | health gets in if he knocks the right way, and. stays out if he doesn’t. "There are thousand of wa of getting sick. There is only one way to get well. Do whatever you will, if you do mot put your. digestion in good order, and make your blood rich and pure, you will not get well. Rich, pure blood is the only thing that can bring perfect health. A large part of all the diseases that afflict mankind are traceable directly to impurities in the blood, and can be cured by eliminatin; these impurities. That most dreadful o all diseases, consumption, is a disease of the blood. The disease shows in the lungs because of some inherited oracquired weak- ness there. If the blood were always pure and without germs, the 'disease would never develop and in time weakness itself would overcome. Germs and impurities in the blood float along through the body until they find a weak spot for lodgement. They stick there and develop and people call the disease by the name of the organ afflicted. As a matter of fact, the disanse is alwa disease of the blood, and if the bl be purified, the disease will be cured. That is a perfectly natural, rational conclusion, en- dorsed both by common sense and the highest medical anthority. It is in accord- ance with these facts that Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery works. The first thing it does is to put the whole diges- tive system into perfect order. It stimu- Iates the appetite, excites the copious secre- tion of the digestive fluids and promotes assimilation. It searches out disease germs wherever they may be, kills them and forces them out of the system. The *‘Golden Medical Discovery” has been used with unvarying sticcess for over 30 years.
