16 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SUNDAY, MAY 22, 1898. EXTRAORDINARY POWER GIVEN THE CHIEF EXECUTIVE Comprehensive Facts Culled From the Proposed New Charter for the Guidance of Citizens. The extraordinary powers granted the Mayor by the provisions of the new charter form the strongest argument that can be urged against the adop- tion of the proposed organic law. Probably not more than one man out of every ten who will go to the polls to cast a vote for or against the char- ter has more than a vague idea of the extent of the authority given the Mayor by the new law. Even those who have carefully perused every section of the instrument cannot carry in their minds more than a general idea of the power granted the Mayor by its pro- visions. For the benefit of those who have sufficlent regard for their citizenship to wish to know the facts regarding a matter that vitally affects the future welfare of the city the following ex- * tracts from the proposed charter, hav- ing reference to the powers of the May- or, have been made: He appoints: The Board of Education, consisting | of four School Directors, at salaries of $3000 each per annum. The Civil Service Commission, con- sisting of three persons at salaries of $1200 each per annum. The Board of Health, consisting of geven persons, five of whom are ap- pointed by the Mayor. The other two members are the Chief of Police and the president of the Board of Public Works, to serve without compensation. The Board of Election Commission- ers, consisting of five persons at sala- ries of $1000 each per annum. The Board of Park Commissioners, consisting of five persons to serve with- out compensation.

A Remarkable Cure of Sore Eyes And Sight Restored. 1am a graduate of Oberlin College, taught long enough after I graduated to have them give me the Honorary degree, and I have a great many acquaintances inand around Bos- ton. About three years ago my son brought home a box of CUTICURA (ointment), and I picked up the circular that wasaround it,and Jearned about the CUTICURA S0AP, and told him to get me a cake. When I got it, the cir- cularadvised its use for the bath, teeth, scalp, etc. 1had been a great sufferer all my life from sore eyelids, the wholelid outside andin was red asa beet. Ihad to sitina dark room, evenings, for eight and & half years,and wear black spectacles to keep the sun from my eyes in the daytime. When I got the CUTICURA 8oA®, 1 got a fine, soft cloth, dipped it in hot water and rubbed it on the soap and washed my eyes with it. I can’t tell you how much good it has done me, aithough it smarted very much at first. My eyes are as clear and bright as when I was a young lady. Ihad to o backwards in getting spectacles and wear No. 15, the same as I did twenty years ago, 1 can read medium sized print in daylight with- out any spectacles. A8 a matter of course Iam kind of a walking advertisement of CUTICURA. People will call to me when I am going along the street and tell me how much good my CuTICURA SOAP has done their eyes. Mrs. M.

YELLOW POSTAL FAKE OFFICIALLY EXPOSED. GEO. W. BEAVERS DENOUNCES AN EXAMINER FALSEHOOD. He Did Not Come Here Unannounced, and Was on a Regular Tour of Annual Inspection. The Examiner yesterday morning con- | | vulsed the Postoffice officials with merri- ment by printing an attempted sensa- | tional story to the effect that the arrival | of George W. Beavers, chief of the Post- | office salary and allowance division, had | | thrown postal employes into a fever of | excitement, not to say apprehension. The fake went on to state that Mr. Beaver sneaked into the city about a month ago and eluded the argus-eyed hotel reporters by taking a suite of rooms at the Palace [ Hotel and by neglecting to register. The fact of the matter is that Mr. Bea- vers arrived in this city on the evening of May 17, and his arrival was noted in The Call the next morning. He at once | | called upon Postmaster Montague and in- | quired of him as to the wants of the San | Francisco office. He came here in the | course of his usual routine duties, and, after the customary inspection of the books, complimented Mr. Montague high- | ly upon the efficient manner in which his office has been and is being conducted. Mr. Beavers said further that he would | do everything in his power to prevent the | lowering of the appropriation for the San | Francisco office, and that he would rec- | ommend the increase of the appropriation | in several particular: | He denounced the Examiner article as a falsehood pure and simple, with no basis whatever. He Is not a secret agent in any sense of the words, and does not sneak in or out of towns spying upon Postmasters. | If the writer of the Examiner article were not densely ignorant of Federal affairs he would know that the secret service work in postoffices is done by postal in- spectors, | T | PATRIOTISM IN COURT. }Judges Joachimsen and Low Imbued | With the Prevalent Enthusiasm. Because three hoys cheered the incom- ing troops on Geary street, near Rich- mond, Friday night, Policeman T. Fell arrested them and booked them on a | charge of disturbing the veace. Their | | names are Richard Walsh, Henry Dosher | and Willlam Fredericks. They appeared before Judge Joachimsen yesterday morn- ing, accompanied by their parents. The policeman testified that the boys were | jeering at the soldiers, but the boys sald | | they were cheering them and yelling, | “Down with Spain!” The Judge, after | reprimanding the officer, discharged the boys and told them to cheer as much as | they liked. | John Mullen appeared before Judge Low esterday to answer a charge of robbery. | | The complaining witness, Edward Good, a sailor, testified that he had been drink- | ing’ with Mullen and did not know how | be had lost his watch. He might have dropped it and Mullen had picked it up. Mullen told the Judge that he was chief cook on the City of Sydney and was going to Manila. The Judge remarked that he | did not belfeve that any robbery was com- | | mitted and he told Mullen to go back to his ship and treat the boys well on the voyage. E ——————— Of Public Interest. During an interview Mrs. C. T. Mor- | rill of 207 Jones street stated she suf- fered several years from cancer of the | | breast, doctoring and trying every | known remedy without avail. Hearing of Dr. Chamley, the Canceg Specialist | of 17 Third street, she went to him for | treatment and In two weeks a two and | a half pound cancer was painlessly re- | moved by the doctor and the cure was | 80 complete that she says: “You can't | put it too strongly for me, and to help | suffering humanity I willingly testify | to its efficacy.” Another lady who consulted Dr. | Chamley was Mrs. Lundahl of 517 Shotwell street, who is most enthusi- astic over the cure effected in her case, declaring her life was saved, and asks any one interested to call and see her. A cancer had been cut from the top of her head, but had returned and was growing so large and fast tfat Dr. Chamley feared he would fail, yet in two months it was removed, leaving only a small scar. A 75-page book on “Cancers and Tu- mors Cured Without Knife or Pain,” malled free by addressing Dr. Chamley, 17 Third street. S e On the Eligible List. Major S. A. Haskins, Secretary of the Civil 83rvice Customs Board at this port, received a letter yesterday from the Civil Service Commission at Washington giving notice that the names of all per- Sons appointed from the eligible list to fill vacancies caused by the enlistment of regular employes in the United States army will not be dropped from the list at the expiration of the year, as is the rule, but will be allowed to remain on the list for a permanent appointment. —_—————— New Train Service. | Eisewhere in our colums the Rock Island Route announces the establish- ment of an improved train service to the East.

HE ENTERS THE RESIDENCE OF DAVID CULLEN. The Police Say He Is the Elusive Burglar Who Operated in San Francisco Last Winter. The daring “porch climber,” who gave the police so much trouble last winter, is again at work. ‘During the past week he has entered at least a half-dozen houses and got away with considerable property. His latest vic- tim is David Cullen, who lives at 1717 Ellis street. Some time after midnight Friday the boM burglar entered Cullen’s room through an open window and while his victim slept he searched his clothing, securing a gold watch and $25 in money. His presence failed sleeping victim and it was not until Cullen awakened after daybreak that he discovered that he had been robbed. Last night he reported the occurrence to the police and Detectives Bee and Harper were sent to make an Investi- gation. They found that the nocturnal visitor had gained an entrance to the house by climbing one of the supports of the upper porch. Finding the win- dow of Cullen’s room partly open he raised it suffciently to allow him to | enter. The police are unusually reticent about the operations of the daring burglar and refuse to give the list of houses entered by him. Last night Captain Wright, acting under instruc- tions from Chief Lees, issued written instructions to the different captains to keep a sharp lookout for the porch climber. The instructions were trans- to disturb his | MAGUIRE WILL NOw ~EXPLAIN Contemplates a Visit to Constituents. AN UNCERTAIN RECEPTION. FATTED CALF IN NO DANGER OF DEATH. Both Governor Budd and Mayor Phelan Said to Be Leagued Against the Congressman From the Fourth. There is considerable agitation in the Democratic camp on account of the an- nouncement that Congressman Maguire will soon visit San Francisco for the pur- pose of giving greeting to his late con- stituents. The announcement has caused some comment among Californians who are patriotic enough to.believe that in the | present war crisis the place for a Con- | 8ressman is at his'post of duty, rather than at home mending political fences. It may be that those who hold to this opinion overlook the fact that it will require about five months for the states- man to explain why he called American seamen pirates. This calculation does not take into account explanations that may have to be made regarding his introduc- tion of a single tax war revenue bill. As the coming election i{s to be held early in November, it can be readily seen that the time at his disposal is somewhat lim- ited. If present indications count for any- thing, Maguire’s home coming will not be made the occasion for the slaughter of any fatted calves by the local Democracy. His erstwhile friends, the reformers, are just at present engaged in a struggle for existence—a struggle that Magulre's pres- ence will more/than likely render futile. There are several reasons for. this, and all of them are good ones. The reform- ers are led by Mayor Phelan, who is credited with having a secret understand- ing with Governor Budd, the opposing leader. The understanding is that if Budd will assist in bringing about the adoption of the proposed arter Phelan will ask to be elected Mayor under its provisions. aid Phelan will lend mitted to the patrolmen of the various | stations, and every effort will now be made to effect his capture. During the short time that the dar- ing porch climber operated here last | winter the police admit that he got | away with considerable money and | jewelry. His scheme is to pick out the | house "that he intends to enter, and | after waiting until the patrolman on the beat is about to report off he climbs to the parch and quietly enters. The operator became so bold that the head of the Police Department as-“ tablished a blockade, but, despite the | vigilance of the officers, he CDnUnuPd‘ unmolested. Several times he was de- | tected burglarizing a house by one of the occupants, but managed to es- cape. Just before the daring porch- | climber disappeared from the city he | was caught in the act of entering a | house in the Mission district, and sev- eral shots were fired at him. He es- caped uninjured, and, realizing that | the police were hot after him, he left | the city. | From the description given of the work of the man who entered the resi- dence of Mr. Cullen the police are con- vinced that he is the daring porch- climber who cperated in this city last winter. BURGLARS AGAIN AT WORK. Clothing and Jewelry Stolen From Baum’s Tailoring Establishment. The store of Moritz Baum, a tailor, at 601 O'Farrell street, was entered by thieves on Friday night and about $150 worth of clothing_and jewelry stolen. The burglars effected an entrance by forcing the front dor of the establishment | with a jimmy. —_———— A Mother,s Fear of the Spaniards.

The mother of young Boyson went into hysterics in the courtroom amd de- clared between sobs that they were go- ing to take her boy to the Philippines to be slaughtered. Lieutenant West as- sured her that the boy would be kept in the guardhouse at the Presidio and would not be sent away. e Two More Concerts. The third concert of the Kneisel quar- tet, from the Boston Symphony, Orches- tra, served to crowd Sherman, Clay & ‘0.'s Hall vesterday afternoon. So great has been the success of these artists since their arrival here that Manager Marks has decided to postpone their Portland engagement, and two additional concerts will be given mnext Thursday afternoon and Friday _evening at the same hall. On Thursday the Dvorak uartet will be repeated, and Alwin chroeder, the great cellist, will play two solos. On Friday Franz Kneisel will be the soloist. The sale of seats will begin to-morrow at Sherman, Clay & Co.’s. e —— The Plea Was Weak. Fong Hong was convicted of the crime of arson in the first degree. He appealed the case to the Supreme Court, and one point made in his appeal was decidedly out of the common. - His attorney took the position that “It is not arson to burn one's own building,” therefore it was in- cumbent upon the prosecution to prove that the defendant was not licensed to destroy the building in the manner set forth. The Supreme Court did not see that this argument could be applied to the case, and the judgment of the lower court was affirmed. The Bush-Street Pavement. An estimate of the cost of paving Bush street for a boulevard was submitted to the Supervisors by the property owners vesterday. The estimate makes it $36,667 for the tearing up of those blocks now paved with basalt and repaving them with noiseless pavement, and $10,121 for filling up the ruts left by the tracks of the old car line and repairing such suitable pave- ment as is already down. The petition- ers also repeated their former demand that the street be not declared a. boule- vard before the street had been put in suitable condition. ——e——————— A Club’s Anniversary.

In the event of a | feat of the proposed charter all bets | will be declared off and Phelan will try | to win for himself the place at the head | of the State ticket. It will be seen, there- fore, that no matter how the tide turns Maguire need not expect aid or comfort from the Phelan Democrats. It is also apparent that he stands about as much show of rounding up the Budd contingent of the local Democracy as the Spanish do of ca%uring Chicago. While Maguire has been creating trou- ble for himself, some of his rivals in the Democratic fold have been sawing con- siderable wood. Frank Gould. for in- stance, has not been letting any moss ac- cumulate on the rolling stone of his polit- | ical ambition. Some time ago he an- | nounced that he was forced to refrain | from declaring himself in the race for the high honor of appearing before the Demo- cratic convention as an aspirant for the nomination for Governor because he felt that he could not afford the expense of | such a campaign. He added, as a saving | clause, that if itshould sohappen that the convention demanded that he accept the nomination he would not refuse it. not without the range of possibl that | he will be confronted with such a démand. He is certainly not throwing any obstacles | B in the way of those who are trying to | bring about such a condition of things. It was Gould who introduced the resolution in the Democratic State Central Commit- tee providing that the basis of represen- tation of the various counties at the con- vention should be the vote cast for Bryan instead of the vote cast for Budd. This was a rail in Maguire's coffin, as it re- duced the representation from San Fran- cisco and increased it in the Interior, where the Congressman'’s single tax doc: trines are not Leld in great esteem. Gould is also a member of the committee of nine having in charge the task of adjusting the differences among the local Demo- crats. It is not to be presamed that he will lend his voice to any agreement that will prove of benefit to Maguire. { Lieutenant Governor Jeter is also tak- ing advantage of the situation to promote his boom for Governor. He has the advan- tage of a great personal popularity and | has never given voice to any incendiary utterances against the nation's defenders. Recent events have served to blast the hopes of at least one Democratic aspir- ant to gubernatorial honors. n{!rnald‘ is P. Commissioner La Rue allowed g Huntington to escape over the State line, and now he despairs of his ability to make it plain to the voters of the State that he did not connive at the clandes- tine departure of the railroad magnate. It is said that he contemplates giving the glad hand to Maguire upon the latter's arrival in this city. A consolation handi- cap will then be in order. = - The first printers used to print on! on one side of a page, and then pasted together the two blank pages to give the impression of one le ADVERTISEMENTS.

They are in Tablet form which re- tains their good qualities indefinitely, while liquid preparations become stale and useless with age.

After.each meal dissolve one or two of them in the mouth and, mingling with the food, they constitute a per- fect digestive, absolutely safe for the most sensitive stomach. They digest the food before it has time to ferment, thus preventing the formation of gas, and Kkeeping the blood pure and free from the poisonous products of fermented, half-digested food.
