For three weeks now the fair has been 1n progress and the closing evening was one of festivity and general enjoyment. Father B, J. Cummins, who bas had the | management of the fair, was | resent and circulated freely among his parishioners, giving a word of praise here and of en- | couragement there. Several of his brother priests were also there and helped to pass the eveninyg pleasantly. There were seven booths 1a the spacious hall, and the ladies in charge generally reported a large revenue to flow into the coffers of the church treasury as a resunlt | of the bazsar, The donors of gifts have been numerous and the interest taken by the parishioners and visitors keen. One of the feaiures of the evening was a contest to determine the most popular priest.

The Directors Removed and an Investigation Committee Appointed. { For Three Weeks the Leaders Have Been Putting the Men Off With | Promises. There was almost a riot in the vicinity of the topsail schooner La ia yesterda; Forty angry and discontented miners were hovering around the ship and await. ing the advent of one man, who, if he had putin an appearance, woud have fared badly. Finally, however, their anger sub- sided, and they all agreed to await until Monday morning for further develop- ments. Several months ago ihe La Ninfa was vurchased oy a syndicate, of which H. R. Renton was president, Charles Green treasurer, Richard Fripp secretary and Dr. Pressley and Captain Sunrenda direc- tors. Forty men paid up §250 each for a trip to the Copper River in search of gold. The project was to get the schooner up the river before the winter setin, The i miners would live on the vessel until the | spring and then they would startout in | parti-s on prospecting trips. The start was 1o have been made three weeks ago, but vesterday the expedition was no nearer its destination than it was last July. Several meetings were held 1n the cabin of the schooner, but the miners were al- | ways put off with promises. Wednesday | lastthe storm broke. One of the miners | got on his feet, while President Kenton was making another excuse, and said: “Me and my partner have exzctly 15 cents between us outside of the money we have sunk in tkis venture. Now, this vessel 13 going to sail, and sail at once, or some- tody will get hurt. There is supposed to be provisions in the hold to keep the en- tire yarty for eighteen months. Now, I intend to get away trom here and do my | share of eating mp some of that grub in- | stead of having to pay for my food with | my last nickel in San Francisco.” This brcught forth speeches from al- most every member of the expedition. An investigation was demanded ana W. W. Phillips, Neii Pressley ana George M. Rolph were appointed to look into the | matier. As aresult of their investigation the entire board of directors was sus- pended and a new board will be elected this afternoon at 4 o’clock. In looking! over the provision list the committee | | could not help laughing at some of the | articles that had been ordered for a winter |in the frozen north. There were fifteen | | tons of potatoes, and as, even at this early | | date, some of ihem had commenced to turn rotien, ten tons were put out on the | whari. Toen there were 2000 pounds of raisins, large gquantities of tapioca and cago, citron peel and lemon peel, various kinds of expensive sauces, extracts of meat, canned roast beef and mutton and various other little toothsome articles, which, as Mr. Rolph remarked, ‘‘makes one think of a French restaurant.” When these articles were either cut down or cut out of the list altogether it was found that a +aving of $700 could be made. In telking about the matter Mr. Rolph saxd: “Everybody took Mr. Renton’s| word for it until things assumed such a shape that something had to be done. Some of the members of the expedition have not a cent with which to buy their | .

Spreckels Wag Con- sulted in the Ap- pointments, The Representative of Yellow Journalism Had Positive Knowledge of the Fact. An Interview Which Disposes of the Controversy and Convicts a Colored Delegate of Lying. The San Francisco representative of yel- low journalism made the statement yes- terday that the Governor did not ask or receive the advice of John D. Spreckels when the appointment of Supervisors was ! under consideration. When this deliber- ate fulsehood was published, the repre- sentative of the yellow kid knew as a mat- ter of fact that Mr. Spreckels and the Goy- ernor had been in conference on the subject of these appointments, and that the conference was held at the Governor's suggestion. To settle the question defi- nitely and expose the falsifier the follow- ing authentic interview is pubiished. Governor Budd was seen i1n his apart- ments at the Palace Hotel last evening and asked to state the facts concerning his interviews with John D. Spreckels on the subject of appointing Supervisors, and particularly the selection of the Republi- | can members of the board. “I saw Mr. Spreckels and invited his views and judg- ment, as you and others know, and what is the use of making any statement about it? The fact is well known,” replied the Governor. When the Governor was informed that a statement had been published by the Examiner that Mr. Spreckels was not in- vited to ths conference, and that his judgment was not solicited as to the fit- ness and qualifications of the men ap- pointed, the Governor manifested indig- nation that any such thing shouid have been publishea. He spoke with some warmth on the topic, saying: “Why do you fellows want to drag me into a newspapzr fight? You saw me conferring with John D. Spreckels here in the Palace Hotel. Iinvited him to consult with me. When we had talked for some time I asked him to attend the conference in my rooms, but he said he must go home to dinner. I asked him to stay downtown and dine. Why shouldn’t I con- sult him? He is the member of the National Republican Com- mittee from this State. He is the owner of a great daily news- paper and a leading citizen and taxpayer of San Francisco. The Spreckels people are foremost in the building of the Valley road to relieve the San Joaquin from oppression. Why in — shouldn’t I consult John D. Spreckels? ‘What is the use of a newspaper controversy about something that everybody knows is a fact? I did not pretend to know what | was best for San Francisco, and wanted the advice of men largely interested in your muni~ cipal affairs.” If the representative of the absentee editer of the Examiner doubts that Gov- ernor Budd mace the forezoing statement | Tue CaLL wil! gladly furnish him the nroof.

Mr. Ford's subject will be, “Let the Dead Bury Their Dead,” NOT EFFECTIVE TILL NEAT YEAR Sacramento Trustees Tri- umph on the Primary Law Question, Trial Court Reversed by an Important Decision of the Supreme Court, Both Stockton and Los Angeles as Well Immediately Affected by the Decision. “The new primary elections law will not take effect until Junuary nex:. So says the Supr-me Court, consequently the Trustees of the city of Sacramento will not be compeiled to bold a primary elec- tion for the selection of delegates to party conventions for selecting candidates to be vcted for at the forthcoming municipal election. The decision, rendered in bank, was on the appeal of McKinnon versus Leonard et al, an action in mandate to compel the Trustees of the city of Sacramento, as the Election Commissioners of that city, to | proceed under the provisions of a legis- lative act of March 13, 1897, containing provisions for general orimary elections. The mandate was awarded, wherenpon the Trustees app aled from the decision, with the result as stated. As the urgency of the case called for immediate considera- tion 1t cculd not be given attention in de- tail, and therefore the :a ient feature only received consideration. Aiter briefly sum- marizing the iscts and nentioning the necess.ty of expedition the decision reads as follows: However, upon the priccipal proposition ar- gued, oue which is determinative of thisap- Den., we are of opinion that the act does not apply to municipal elections to be neid in the current year, for the reason tnatby iis terms the machinery providea for ths Roiding ot such primary eiections is not to be set in operation uutil the month of January, 1893, when, under section 5, the Election Commuis- sioncrs are 10 se.ect tu¢ names of those clec- tors who are to aci as officers of the pr.mary election boards. No other seciion of the act makes different provision as to cities. | For the purposes of this case, iherefore, no | other quest:on need bs consiuered and no | other s determined. . Tae judgment 1s reversed, with directions to | the trial court to enter judgment for the trus- tees. Two other cities, namely, Los Angeles and Stockton, will be directly affectel by the decision. Inthe case of San Fran- cisco the only change it would make would be in the case of a special election being calied, as no regular election will take place until next year. BSacramento will hold a municipal election on November 2 | of this year. SHERMAN BUILDING SOLD. The Old Landmark Passes From the Yosse.sion of Its Oid Owner. | The old Sherman block, at the north- east corner of Montgomery and Clay strects, passed out of the hands of iis original owner, R. M. Sherman, yester- day afternoon. The transfer was made and the papers acknowledged Lefore Notarv John F. Lyons. The property went to the Schmiedell estate, the conside- ration being placed at only $100. The fact, however, is that the estate held a mortgage on the building for $70,000, and 1he purchase amounted to a iforeclosure. Mr. Sherman is a pioneer of '46 and has made many fortunes ir the mines. When he put up the big four-story brick struc- twe in the70’s and called it the Sherman building it was the grandest structure in the city. Itisso well preserved and has such a good foundation that the present owners provoose to add two stories, put in an elevator, and by thorough renovation make it praciicaily a modern building. PHYSICIANS BAFFLED, Professor R. S. Bowman, Instructor of Natural Sclence In Hartsville College, Cured of a Severe Ili- ness by Dr. Willlams’ Pink Plils for Pale Peopls After Physicians Falled. From the Republican, Columbus, Ind. Professor R. S. Bowmun, the able instructor of naturelscience in the famous Hartsville | (Ind.)

PROF. R. 8. BOWMAN. Some time ago he had a severe illness which was cured almost miraculously. A reporter hearing of this interviewed him regarding his experience. Professor Bowman was in_the | midst of his work when tne reporter called, but ne cheeriully gave him a hearine. “A year ago last tall,” said the professor, -1 broke down with nervous exhanstion, and was unable to properly attend to my duties. I tried different physicians, but with no relief, snd also used many different proprietary medicines, spending almost $50 for these medicines alone, I then succumoed to a siege of the grip in the middle of winter and was leftin a much worse vondition. My kidneys were fearfully disordered, and my digestion became very poor. I wasindeed 1n a bad con- dition. “‘A minister in coxference learning of my condition advised me to try D Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People, Ihad heard much about the wonderiul curative powers of this medicine, but it was with reluctancs that I wae finally persuaded to try it it seemed that nothing cou.d do me any good. How- ever, I procured three boxes of pills and took them strictly according to direciions. By the time the last dose wws taken I was almost cured, and in better health than I had been for years. Icontinued using the pills a waile longer and was entirely cured. Ican cheer- fully recommend Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale People.” Such was Professor Bowman’s wonderful story whicn was further indorsed by the fol- lowing sffidavit: HARTSVILLE, Ind., March 16, 1897. 1 affirm that the above accords wiin the facts in my case. . 8.
