He was shaking dice for drinks with three men who were drinking at the bar, and not liking the way things were going on he turned to leave, when one of them grakped hold of his arms and | forced them behind his back. | Another began to search through his | pockets, while the third warned bim ndt to make a row. They took about $30 out of his pockets and a penknife. He struggied to get away from them, {and told them to let him free and he | would fight two of them at once, but he | could not manage the three. He appealed | to the bartender to help him, but he de- lined to interfere. Then they threw him into the street. He acknowledged that he had been drinking, but was not so drunk a3 not to know the three men again. He met one of them yesterday afternoon on the street, and would have given him into custody it he had seen a officer.

Gore Has Delivered Up the Books of Record Demanded of Him at Last—Delicious Repartee. Although the ghost of Buckley stalked again at the regular monthly meeting of the Populist County Central Committee, | held a1 915} Market street lasv evening, there were none of the pitched battles that | bave made the meetings regarded for some time asa gool free exhibition. Taylor Rogers and Joseph Asbury Jounson were absent, and one at least of them has stated that he intends never to attend another session of the body. After the pleasant and rather peculiar little spectacle, in the light of past avents, of George D. Gillespie and Burnette G. Haskell shaking hands, the committee began its deliberation with a discussion of several constitutional amendments that bave been hanging fire for some time. They were taken up seriatim. The first was as regards the advisability of adding 100 delegates at large to the committee. Dr. Adams, John C. Gore and J. K. Phil- lips arranged themseives on the si favoring the clause, while Carleton H. Johnson, T. H. Porter, Haskell, Giliespie, Dr. Griswold and J. #. Tingman made a bitier fight against it. In fact, the way the “boss’ and Giilespie puiled together in double harness was quite loving. Haskell made one statemeni. that he “‘wanted to see the committee remain as the representative of the people,’’ that called forth an audible sneer from Gore, when Haskell turned quickly ana de- manded Don’t you think so?’ Gore retorted : *‘Yes, I wish you were so,’”” and it it had not been for the fact that Chair- man U. A. Lewis rose in all his six feet of manhood and declared that ine first man that started a fight would *'get more fun than he bargained for,”” something in- | teresting would evidently have happened. | The amendment was finaliy defeated by the vote of 18 to9. The others wereun- imporiant, and were also rejected. B. J. Pye gave it as his opinion that the | only reason why “‘they wanted to do this was to get tha committee doctored abead of time so they could manipulate it at the next convention and make some money | out of it.” This brough: Philips to his i!eeb with a demand to know who was | meant by *‘they,’”’ as did aiso some talk | rezarding Buckleyism that passed between | several of the members; but Chairman | Lewis proved himsell equal to the occa- sion and did the Czar act to perfection, thus causing things to flow along, if not smoothly. Just before the meeting adjourned Carle- ton H. Johnson, recording secretary, stated that John C. Gore *“had delivered up the records demanded ot him, under penalty of a suit at law, on the day of final grace,” with the excepiion of a :ew unim- portant notes, to which Gore still thought he had the best claim.

Then the arm of Pitcher Daubeubis suddenly got the Klondike fever and deserted the field, leaving Pitcher Daubenbis and his eight confreres at the mercy of those nine heartless athleles from across the bay. The result was a succession of base hits that sounded like a Fourth of July celebration in Randsburg, and when the smoke had cleared away the scoreboard in center field was seen to record a large white figure 7 for Reliance and a rather yellow underdone figure 4 for the scientists from Santa Cruz. Every seat in every stand was occupied when the game was called and the Reli- ance combaters began the opeaing act of batting Mr. Daubenbis into a respectful frame of mind. It took just #bout five minutes for them to discover that Mr. Daubenbis had postponed the pleasure of being batted until some other time, and forth they wentinto the field to indulge in a little procrastination on their own ac- count. For Santa Cruz, however, Williams opened the second half of the inning with a safe hit, was advanced to second, when Captain Devereaux successfully remon- strated with the bull’s onward rush, and completed the circuit onea sacrifice. Three outs roiled inio the game before Captain Devereax could circumnavigate the bases, and then the two teams settled down toa game of outs with a consecu- tiveness and regularity that filled the old- timers in the audience with gioom. In the fifth inning the monotony seemed to strike all the Sauta Cruz philosophers at one and the same moment. They rose up in their impatience and scored three runs by way of variation. In another inning they stirred tnings up by filling the bases wnen only one man was out, but immediately discovered that they had merely rung in a false alarm. All this while the arm of Pitcher Daubenb:s seemed aistracted, but kept a moderately active surveiliance on the en- emy’s evil intentions. The phenomenal infielding of Williams, Streib and Nash and the outfisiding of “Monkey” Burge made up for whatever aberrations the arm indulged 1n. Then came the ninth inning and the crush. With tnhe arm gone Santa Cruz had nothing to do_bat stand and waten with startled and pained eyes the flight of the leather sphere as it left each successive Reliance bat and went sailing over their heads. No kind of feeling could save the game. It was a goner from the time Daubenbis permitted his left wing to go prospecting. To-day's contest is to be between the same teams. The management of the Columbia Theater has invited the winning club to see the Frawley Company in ‘‘Re- bellious Susan” to-night, and with this added stimulus to their thirst for victory the boys are likely to put forth an extra exeriion or two to come out successful.

MERSHON TALKS OF BACGAUS (Classical Toasts at the Com- mercial Travelers’ Banquet. Local Talent Celebrates the First Anniversary of the Organization, Good Work Executed by the Com- mittee of Arrangements—Oakland Orchestra Music, A very pleasant evening was spent by the San Francisco Commercial Travelers' Association in Social Hall of the Alcazar building last evening, it being the occa- sion of their first anniversary. There was a banquet prepared through the ef- forts of the committee ot arrangements, toasts, songs, speeches, and the whole ended with a dance. The members were accompanied either by their wives or their sweethearts, and the regular ‘smoker” was omitted out of deferencs to thae fair sex. Music was rendered by the Oakland orcuestra. President Emmett Dunn acted as toastmaster and was assisted in having things run along smoothly by Secretary A. E. Green. J. Moscrop delivered a toast to “The Association,” George Savage to *The Ladies,” H. Ro-ster to ‘‘Future Prosperity’” and J. A. Mershon to “The Bacchean Deity.” The committee on arrangements was composed of F. A. Griffing (chairman), J. P. Scheele, J. Carcass, J. Mershon, Mr. Evarts and C. Tarrent. The following programme Wwas rendered during the evening: Tenor solo, F. A. Griffing; piano solo, Miss Fliedner; comic song, Samuel Cohen; whist- ling solo, Miss C. Wetjen; reading, Miss E. F. Schaae; topical song, 1. J. 0'Callaghan; tenor solo, T. Burns; bass solo, L. L. Dobbs. The banquet began at 9 o'clock and lasted till 11. The programme was ren- dered between the various courses. All the pirformers are well known and did not dash the hopes of those who came prepar:d to be amused. The toasts were all delivered gracefully, and Mr. Savage got an ovation from the ladies at the con- clusion of his eftort. Mr. Savage proved himself a veritable Mark Twain when it came to understand- ing what the fair ones desired said of them, and he did not permit anything like a bashful spinit to prevent him from catering to their feelings in the matter to toe fullest extent. Ex-President Mershon’s toast not only referred to something classical but that “royal good fellow’’ arose to the occasion and made an effort in the oratorical line that was something classical in itself. There could not be a doubt in the minds of his hearers that he knew what he was talking about, at least, as he referred to the god of vintage in about a dozen dif- ferent terms, gave his history according to the Grecian mythology, regretted ex- ceedingly that the acquisition of knowl- edge by mankind had relegated him “to the dark backward and abysm of noth- ingness,”” was glad that his memory is still held almost as dear as that of Wash- ington and hislittle hatchet, and added as a sort of clincher that no action of his should ever cause that memory to become covared with cobwebs, Mershon sat down, perspiring; it is true, but with the knowledge that he had im- mortalized himself. His name was in- stantly proposed as a candidate for a mode:n Silenus, the one great and authori- tative representative of the association in this world; but Mershon gracefully de- clined, on the ground that there were others present better fitted by age and ex- perience to hold the position than himself. Dancing began as soon as the banquet and programme were finished, and Terpsi- chore held sway for the remainder of the evening. The Oakiand orcuestra furnished the music, and the guests enjoyed the dance thoroughly uniit the hour came to part. Stabbed in the Arm. Frank Kelly, a waiter living at 324 Brannan street, was stabbed in the left arm last night at Second and Brannan and the wound was stitched and dressed by Dr. Fitzzibbon at the Receiving Hospital.

Under the new system the food on every table has been the same, so that there was no use in changing ta- bles.

This fact, when the sailormen real ze it, may make them think well of the new system. {If it does not work satisfactorily it will not be adopted generally.—New York Sun.

My wife’s brother told me that Ripans Tabules had helped him and he thought they would help me. I believe they have cured me, but I still take them regular, for I would not have them pains again for anything.
