10 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, MONDAY, FEBRUARY 21, 1898. ALL FAVOR AN EXPOSITION. Fiftieth Anniversary of Admission Day Would Be @ Fitling Occasion. Representa tive Citizens Sau a Grand Celebration, Wiih Products of the Golden West in Sight, Would Greatly Aid the State. That there is a great deal of public interest in matters affecting the pro- posed California exposition is daily more apparent. Men in all ranks and conditions of life agree that it would be a grand thing for the State. Mayor Phelan is considering the ad- visability of appointing a committee of prominent citizens to consider the mat- ter. In an interview on the subject yesterday he said “I think it would be a good plan to have a meeting of a score or more of prominent men to consider the matter of an exposition of the character The Call advocates. A gentleman from St. Louis was telling me a day or two ago that this city has a reputation all over the East for being an entertaining place. He thought we should do all im our power to keep up that reputa- tion, and that some such thing as an exposition would do it. “I believe we ought to deeide on the time and all the details with a great deal of care, but I am firmly in favor of the project. If we chance to have it at the same time as the great Paris exposition it might result in cutting us short on exhibits, so that matter should be gone over with a great deal of care. I am perfectly willing to ap- point a committee, but I want to be sure that the men I appoint are in earnest and that they will serve when they are appointed and not shirk the work.” MANY VISITORS WILL COME. John F. Fugazi Thinks the Rail- road Should Make a Special Rate. JOHN F. FUGAZI, President Colum- bus Savings and Loan Society—I think the exposition will do a great deal of good for this city and the entire State. All that is needed is that the rairoad make a special rate during the exposi- tion, and I feel positive that this city will have more visitors in 1900 ithan it has ever had. During the next two years there will be many hundreds of thousands of people who will go to Alaska, and we shall want the same number to take their places.’ The only way to get them is to attract them here by means of an exhibition, and once they see our products and enjoy our beautiful climate they will make ar- rangements to stay. I favor the plan advocated by The Call, and think that every citizen should help to make the proposed exposition a possibility. FAVORED BECAUSE . IT WILL DO GOOD. This Movement if Well Con- ducted Will Be a Benefit to the State. INSURANCE COMMISSIONER A. J. CLUNIE—I favor the proposition be- cause I consider it will do good to the State, and any and all things that have for an object the benefiting of the State suit me. I love California and I am always pleased to aid in any and all movements having for their objects the advancement and prosperity of its peo- ple. I do not look on this as being a movement gotten up by one man or a body of men for selfish motives, but rather by those having the best inter- ests of the entire State at heart, conse- quently I favor it, as already said, because I believe it will do all of us good. We have a great State and one that every man living in should be just- ly proud of. A semi-centennial enter- tainment on a broad scale and one that the whole people may unite in must be productive of good. I will, in my humble capacity as a Californian, aid ES28EEESsEaEE-EaEsasnas SHOULD BE MADE A GREAT SUCCESS The proposition of The Call to hold an exposi= any movement tending to advance the interest of the State and its Inhabit- ants. THE BEST WAY TO COMMEMORATE: A Splendid Opportunity to Dis- play the Products of Qur Golden State. CHARLES SAMUELS, editor of the Abend Post—I think there is no better way to commemorate the admission of California into the Union than by holding an exposition such as The Call advocates. of that kind to the whole coast is be- yond calculation. The Midwinter Fair brought thousands of people to the coast and a great portion of them be- came attached to our balmy climate and settled here. Then again, we have a splendid opportunity to display to the world what this State can produce. 1 think an exposition is the best way to advertise California, and I shall do all I can to help along the movement. The erection of bulldings will give many idle mechanics employment; money will be put in circulation, and this Pacific Coast will enjoy a season of prosperity. If it is purposed to hold an exposition steps should be immedi- ately taken to attain the result. IT SHOULD MEET NO OPPOSITION. The Semi-Centennial as Proposed Will Be a Benefit to the State, North and South. SUPERVISOR THOMAS MORTON— The proposition as portrayed in The Call cannot but meet with the approval of the people of the entire State, north and south, as it will not only benefit San Francisco, but every section of the State. It will be the means of draw- ing the attention of a class of men who have money to invest to the wonderful resources of California, and will by this The value of an exhibition, meane learn of the great advantages of investing in a State that stands sec- ond to none in the Union for a re- turn on prudently invested capital. The discovery of gold and the productive- ness of the soil of the State have in the past done a great deal for this Coast, in fact they are what brought the entire Coast into prominence. California is now known all over the globe as being the greatest producer of gold in the world. What we now want is to con- vince the capitalists that we can pro- duce other things besides gold and sil- ver. An exposition, or whatever else may be deemed advisable to have on this occasion, cannot but attract atten- tion sufficient to be heralded all over the earth, at all events to such coun- tries as we may reasonably expect to be excited by the fact. The Call, in this, as in all other matters which tend to benefit the people, deserves the com- mendation of all. FROM A BUSINESS POINT OF VIEW. Agricultural Prosperity Followed | the State’s Admission With Schools and Churches. GEORGE W. REID, a commission | merchant, 5456 Washington street—The admission of California into the Union of States In 1850 marked & period not only In the history of States but in the | history of the universe. There is noth- ing else like it on record in the known B e | i | | 5 o B e B B Em o mn b aw am Be o bn b b bm omn o mn B op 00000000000000000000C000000C0CC0000 tion in this city in 1goo to commemorate the fiftieth anniversary of California’s admission into the Union should be carried out. Its features should represent not only all the Eastern States and Ter- ritories, but the countries adjoining the Pacific Ocean. Its scheme should include exhibits from Mexico and the western republics of Central and South America; and why not also Australia, China and Japan? In 1900 the Klondike mining region will be pouring out its golden treasures, and its population will have people from all parts of the world. No greater or better attraction than the exposition could be devised to secure the invest- ment in our State of the fortunes won in this new El Dorado. Not only this, but it could be made the means of hastening our commercial develop- ment and securing to California the population and trade which her great resources justify. The success of the Midwinter Fair is but an earnest of what could be accomplished by the united effort of our people. The holding of the Paris Exposition in 1900 should be no objection to the exposition here. On the contrary, it would tend to excite in- terest in our exposition. There should be no real conflict, for many who go to Paris would also come here, while those who cannot spare the time or expense necessary to visit the Paris Exposition would be glad to attend our exposition. The semi- centennial exposition should be made a great suc- cess. WILLIAM F. HERRIN. Y. M. I. WILL LEND ITS HEARTY SUPPORT. ; I think a celebration would be a good thing fot the city, and | know that the Young Men’s Institute will lend its support in making ita success. At pres- ent | cannot say what form the celebration should take. It should be distinctive. It would benefit the entire Pacific Coast. A celebration for mere glory would be throwing money away; a person never wants to burn powder for smoke. Should it be decided to hold an exposition I think it will gain the hearty support of the people, because an exposition always arouses pride. Personally I have not given the subject any attention, but | feel that an affair of that kind will be of great advantage to the coast States. | ' GEORGE A. STANLEY, Grand Secretary of Young Men’s Institute.

Every celebration which calls attention to the natural advantages of California and attracts visitors from without sows the seeds of future prosperity. The Christian Endeavor Convention of last year impressed thousands of young people with the ben- efits of a life in our climate, and now, after returning o their Eastern homes, the severity of the winter in the Atlantic States has deepened their pleasurable recollections of their visit to San Francisco. = As op- portunity offers in the future many will make their homes in California who would not have thought of doing so if they had not been induced to come and see the State for themselves. Th= same result will follow the holding of the jubilee in this city. It will attract many to the city who would not otherwise come, and a short visit will lead to the desire for a home in California. The great need of the city of San Francisco, as well as of the State at large, is the development of the re- sources which nature has lavished upon us, a de- velopment which canonly be brought about by drawing an additional population to the State. For this purpose no means can be more effective than «such a jubilee as is proposed. E. P.

It would not interfere with our celebration. | think there would be a community and a union of interest between the Native Sons and those having charge of the exposition. As | understand, it is the intention to make the gth of September the great day of the fair, should one be heid. There is no doubt in my mind that the Native Sons of the entire State will join in making that day one to be long re- membered in after years. HENRY LUNSTEDT, Grand Secretary N! S..G.. W. .

Sang in the Thalia as Plain Miss Matthews for Several Nights. For Being Late One Night She Was Mulcted in $10 and Will Go Into Court The blue blood that courses through the veins of Baroness Marie von Zeiber is boiling at an affront that was cast upon her by the management of the Thalia a week ago, and to-day she will apply to the courts for satisfaction to her wounded feelings. | Recently the Baroness, who is a pri- | ma donna soprano, entered into a ver- | bal contract with Manager James | Schwartz of the Thalia to sing at that | theater at a salary of $30 per week. | One of the conditions of the contract | was that she should be billed as plain Miss Matthews, her pride revolting at her aristocratic name being bandied about by the habitues of the Thalia. She mang several nights acceptably, | and the engagement looked promising. | Without consulting the management, | the Bgroness contracted with the man- agers of the Mining Fair to sing there Sunday night, February 13. On the fair | programme she was billed as “the Ba- | roness von Zeiber, formerly prima don- na soprano of Sousa's Concert Com- pany.” She sang at the fair, and hur- ried to the Thalia, thinking that she would be in time for her part. She was about fifteen minutes late, and next day when she called at the box office for her week’s salary she was handed | 820, and politely informed that she had | been fined $10 for being late the previ- ous night. She protested,” but the management was firm, and the Baroness left in high dudgeon. She placed the matter in the | hands of a collector, but repeated ap- plications by him failed to bring forth the $10. The Baroness is determined to get the $10 if possible, and to-day she will file a suit in the Justices’ court against Schwartz and will apply for a | writ of attachment. Manager Schwartz | laughs at the threats of the Baroness, world, It opened up a new world for | and if she brings suit interesting devel mankind. It has been the means of | making millionaires out of men that | never knew what it was to have full | and plenty in their lives. The discov-l ery of gold without a union sisterhood | would not have brought about the set- | tlement of the country for agricultural | purposes; men would have come and | gone as they do in all mining districts. | There would be.no inducements to set- tle homes and raise families. School houses, churches and Institutions of | learning would not follow in the wake of a miner's trail. The admission of California as a State is what has made it worth living in, hence if we have celebrated a golden jubilee we can with much greater joy celebrate the admis- sion semi-centennial. «WASHINGTON” HIS TEXT. Rev. F. B. Cl;;rington Delivers a Yowerful Sermon on Our First President. Rev. F. B. Cherington’s sermon last evening at Plymouth Congregational Church was on George Washington. In part, he said: “The men who headed the revolution were not wild, hare-brained | fanatics in chronic rebellion against es-| tablished order because it is order, but| men who in any age, and under any cir- cumstances, would be regarded as wise, deliberate, reasoning and reasonable men. Look at them! John Hancock, the court- ly, dignifled, large-brained man of affairs. | Samuel Adams, the earnest, fearless, broad-minded statesman and splendid or- | ator. John Adams, orator, statesman and diplomatist. Robert Morris, the magnifi- cent financier. Benjamin Franklin, phi- losopher, statesman, diplomatist, fountain of wise counsels, source of unfailing stim- ulation to the flagging energies of patriots in their darkest hours.

There were still oth- | ers, men whom the heroic times developed | into glants to meet great needs, civil and military. These all made a company of‘ men among whom small men would speedily display their littleness with irre- trievable fatality.
