Murphy of Mono placed Mr. Solinsky in nomination. He called at- tention to the fitness of his. candidate and ed with glowing tribute to his serv Hon. to_the party. Voorhies of Amador, the re- tiring Senator from the Fourteenth Dis- trict, seconded the nomination and asked that it be made unanimous. The speaker stated that if Mr. Solinsky did not ac- cept the honor his constituents would de- mand it. A ballot representing 19 votes was then cast by the secretary. Judge J. F. Davis eulogized Mr. Voor- hies for the splendid services he rendered while a member of the Senate, and thought that the meeting should not ad- journ without showing appreciation for his worth and good deeds.

PROFESSOR NORTON ON THE LATE WAR Sorry That Uncle Sam Left Old Ideals. | ANCIENT PATH OF CONFLICT" | | WAR'SBRUTAL VISAGE LIGHTED | | BY HEROIC DEEDS. | | | | | The President Emeritus of Fine Arts | | st Harvard Evidently Alarmed | by the Policy cf Territo- rial Expansion. Special Dispatch to The Call. ASHFIELD, Mass, Aug. 25.—The twentleth annual dinner in aid of the Sanderson Academy was given this af- ternoon with Charles Eliot Norton. president emeritus of fine arts of Har- vard, University, presiding. The principal address was by Profes- | sor Norton, who devoted himself to a | discussion of the late war. He referred | to the academy’s prosperity during the | year, and continued as follows: “And yet our hearts have been heavy with a new weight of care and the very brightness of the sunshine has but | deepened by contrast the cloud of our sorrowful thoughts—sorrowful that our nation should have turned its back upon its old ideals and, standing at the parting ways, should have chosen the ancient path, familiar to the old world, worn by the bloody feet of hapless gen- erations and which has never led to anything but ill—the path of aggres- sive war, of foreign conquest, of allen territorial aggrandizement, the path that leads from trouble to trouble. “The black and brutal visage of war has indeed been lighted up from time to time during/the summer by the gal- Jant deeds of our men in service, and by the good conduct and marvelous good fortune of our navy and by the general temper of humanity displayed 80 soon as the actual fight was over by both officers and men. But it has taken on a deeper shade of gloom from the needless sufferings which our brave soldiers have had to endure from the Jack of due provision for their needs alike in camp, on fleld and in hospital. It has been a miserable spectacle of incompetency, for which account must be rendered and penalty exacted.” After a review of the events leading up to the war, Professor Norton said: | “Peace has nominally come. The ac- | tual conflict has ended, but less than 100 days of war has resulted in a revo- lution in the United States. The foun- dations on which the republic has rested have become unsettled. The principles upon which the Government chunk knocked out of the middle. It is without notable visitors take leave of the capital with its salubrious clime, its crowds and its .genial crickets. The gayly decorated pavilion is losing its color. The echoes of eloquence have died from among its rafters, the flags no longer flutter in - the blast of the electric fan. All who have attended the two conventions will remember the experience and pray not to undergo it soon agaln. Heretofore I have spoken of the con- " test discernible in a view of the pair | of events. It was to the end remark- gble. I can only understand it by the - hypothesis that the Democrats look . forward to defeat and the Republicans to the pleasing duty of inflicting it. —— Conventions in the Southland. ° SAN DIEGO, Aug. 25.—The fusion pro- gramme was carried out in San Diego County to-day. At Escondido the Popu- . lists held their county convention and ratified the action of the conference com- * iittee, which had arranged the division . of the offices.

Plerpont Morgan, commodore of the New York Yacht Club, Hon. Charles Rus- sell, representing Sir Thomas Lipton and the Royal Ulster Yacht Club, met the committee for the first named club for- mally. Mr. Russell, wno left the meeting after half an hour's talk, declined to say anything, on the ground that it would be improper for him to reveal what took place at the meeting. After the departure of Mr. Russell the committee remained In session for over an hour, after which Secretary Oddie | §ata: _“Mr. Russell expressed ~himself quite freeely with reference to what fs expected by the Rornl Ulster Yacht Club He is perfectly satisfied with the way in which things are proceeding and is will- m’? 1o leave everything in our hands.” he matter of a clear course, Mr. Od- die said, was merely touched upon, and ho mention whatever had been made of the Dunraven happenings in connection with the last international contest for the America_ cup. ~The committee, Secre- tary Oddie said, is ready to receive the Lipton challenge the moment the com- Tfitee of the Royal Ulster Yacnt Club, which is due here next week, sees fit to ent it. Prompt action will then be faken. He said that the dimensions of the Shamrock, the challenging boat, were not given by Mr. Russell, nor were they referred to in any way. MONUMENT TO LAFAYETTE.

TAKES HER LIFE IN A SACRAMENTO HOTEL Ethel Greenbank, a Young Woman of Allegheny, Sierra County, Shoots Herself. SACRAMENTO, Aug. Ethel Green- bank, aged about 20 years, committed sul- cide last night in the Willlam Tell Hotel in this city. It has been ascertained that her home' was at Allegheny, Sierra County, where her parents reside. She left a sealed envelope addressed, “Papa and Mama,” and an unsigned note, reading: “Fate is more than cruel. It did not let me do this before. I might have died happy.” J. Wunder, proprietor of the hotel, told The Call correspondent that the young woman came to his place last Tuesday and rented a room. She gave the name of Miss Johnson and said that she lived in Sacramento. On Wednesday morn- ing, when she came downstairs, Wunder noticed that the girl was nervous and her hair was disarranged. He was of the opinfon she had not retired, as he saw a light burning in her room at a late hour. At 11:45 o'clock last night Wunder was aroused by a pistol shot. He ran up- stairs, but could not locate the room the noise came from, and afterward con- cluded that the shot was fired in some other building. ~When Wunder retired the gas was still burning in the young woman's room. In her room there was found a of brown paper, upon which had iece een written the name, “F. F. Misley, Loomis.”” The Coroner telegraphed to Loomis and Jearned that the young wo- man was a niece of F. F. Misley’s brother and that her name was Ethel Green- bank, and her home was in- Allegheny, Sterra County. . F. Misley arrived here from Loomis, Placer County, to-night and received from the Coroner a letter addressed to him. It was written by the suicide be« fore her death and contained another let- ter addressed “Mama and Papa.” Mr. Misley said that the contents of his letter from the dead should never be made known, as it threw no light upon the cause and contained a simple and tender message to him and the girl’s par- ents, and there was nothing in her let- ters, said Mr. Misley, that would indicate any trouble caused by an affair of love. “Now that the girl is dead,” sald Mr. Misley, *““‘we can recall that of late she had been acting strangely. I believe that she became despondent over {ll health.” s Greenbank came to Sacramento a few weeks ago from Stockton, where she had been employed as a bookkeeper in an undertaking establishment. Upon her arrival she took up her quarters with Mrs. Kane at 412 N street and remained there quite a whue. Mrs. Kane found her a tender, sensitive girl, who seemed worried and troubled on account of «ill health. Mr. Misley will return with her re- mains to the home of her parents in the foothills of tire Slerras to-morrow. e o TURGE UNION OF SILVER MEN. Butler, Patterso; S}mpson and Bell Speak at a Populist Picnic. DENVER, Aug. 25.—A basket picnic was held this afternoon and to-night at Elitch’s Gardens under the auspices of the leaders of the Populist party of Colo- rado. At the meeting this afternoon Sen- ator Marion C. Butler of North Carolina, national chairman of the People's party, was principal speaker. Hon, T. M. Pat- terson, proprietor of the Ruckg Mountain News, acted as chairman of the meeting. In his opening remarks Patterson favored united action by all sllver forces until the money question is settled. Senator Butler devoted most of his ad- dress to urging cc-operation between his party and all other friends of sllver in the coming campaign. Hon. Jerry Simpson of Kansas was the ?lflnclpal speaker at the night meeting. | e congratulated the People's party on its progress and the fact that many of its creeds had been adopted by the Déemo- crats and were even becoming popular with members of other parties. e had no regard for a mere party name and cared only for the principles it stood for. He believed it the duty of Populists to join with all other friends of free silver to secure the party’s aims in that respect and then go on iIn the fight for the other principles of the party. Simpson was followed by Hon. John C.q Bell, Congressman from Colorado, who also urged union of the silver forces. —_— Social Labor Party’s Ticket. ST.

BRINGS AM INJUNCTION SUIT SEES LOSS OF BUSINESS AND HIS OWN UNDOING. Organ of the Gang Devotes a Page to the Garden City’s High School and the Merits of its Teachers. Spectal Dispatch to The Call. SAN JOSE, Aug. 25.—A new tack has been taken to head off the striking pu- pils, who are determined to attend the Santa Clara High School. In the action of the scholars of the High School the gang sees the beginning of a trouble that will largely tend to their defeat. About half of the old puplls are going to Santa Clara and several thousand dollars, annually will thus be diverted from the business men of this city. The gang organ, the Mercury, this morning devotes a whole page to the new High School and the merits of the teachers. Interviews are published with graduates of the school testifying to the high merits of the institution. On another page is an article telling of the enjoining of the trustees of the Santa Clara High School from using money from a certain fund to fit up thelr school. “Boss” Rea’s work is plainly discern- ible in both articles, and it is but an attempt to drive the students back to the local school. The suit in question is that of Morrill W. Henderson vs. D. Henderson, G. W. Fowler, L. M. Kimberlin, G. H. Worrall and C. E. Moore. In the complaint plaintiff alleges that defendants are using State and county school funds to furnish the High School at Santa Clara and asks that they be enjoined from using such funds. This sult was brought at the Instance of Boss Rea and in the hope that it may prove a barrier to the ment of the school so as to accommo- date the new pupils. While the law provides that only high school funds shall be used for such purposes the other funds have been used in this county for years. No objection was made as long as gang trustees were using the money. It has just leaked out that the ap- pointment of B. D. Wigle as instructor of chemistry and assistant instructor of mathematics in the high school was at the instance of Boss Rea. Two years ago Rea threw Hichborn, a newspaper man, out of a Republican meeting. Hichborn ran a weekly paper and had been exposing the crookedness of the gang. Hichborn was refused a warrant for Rea’s arrest for battery in this city, and finally secured-a warrant from Justice Wigle at Palo Alto. That Jus- tice later threw the case out of court. For this reason, it is asserted, the boss secured the appointment of the Jus- tice's brother in the high school. MUST SOON FACE THE NINE-HOUR PROBLEM The United Typothetae of America Has a Knotty Affair to Untangle. MILWAUKEE, Aug. 2.—The United Typothetae of America has a knotty affair to untangle in the nine-hour prob- lem. With two protracted executive ses- slons to-day, the matter still remains in be straightened out. Both President J. H. Bowen of the International Pressmen's and Assistants’ Unlon and George W, Harris, national organizer of the National Typographical Union, gave the employing printers to understand that it was only a auesuon of a short time when a general lemand would be made for a short-hour work day. The unions are willing to sub- mit to a slight reduction in cities where the scale is high, but where the pay is low they ask that no change be made. As the situation now stands, the emgloyers will either have to grant the nine-hour day or stand a strike of {lfa.ntlc proportions. It is sald several of the employers are in favor of granting the demand without a reduction in wages; others are willin; Y) comprise on nine and a half hours, while the remainder are much opposed to it and are ready to fight.

VERY IMPRESSIVE SERVICES CLASS OF FORTY CHILDREN CONFIRMED. Bishop Montgomery Performs the | Dedicatory Ceremonies, Assisted by Clergy From All Parts of the Coast. Special Dispatch to The Call. MONTEREY, Aug. 25.—All was sol- emn pomp about the old - San Carlos Mission Church to-day and sacerdotal vestments, lighted tapers, religious in- signia and perfume of incense com- bined to form a brilliant and impressive picture, both in and outside of the quaint old adobe building. The occa- sion was the dedication of the San Car- los Convent, the corner-stone of which was laid in October last. The dedica- tion ceremonies were performed by Right Rev. Bishop Montgomery, Bishop of the Diocese of Monterey and Los An- geles, assisted by Rev. Fathers Hudson | of Gilroy, Marron of Watsonville, Aguil- | era of San Luis Obispo, Smith and Far- | ley of Hollister, O’Reilly of Santa Cruz, i Closa of San Juan, Serafin of the: Wat- | sonville Orphan Asylum, Mahoney of | Castroville, McGinty and Connelly of | San Francisco, Rearly of Menlo Park, | Fathers Riordan, Ragglo and Gallagher | from Santa Clara College and Father Mestres of Monterey. The day’s ceremonies began with high mass, celebrated at 10 a..m., at which a class of forty children was con- firmed by Bishop Montgomery. At 2| p. m. dedication service was begun by | forming a procession composed of the | various sodalities of San Carlos parish, | children of the convent led by the nuns, | members of to-day’s confirmation class | in white robes and white veils, acolytes | carrying religious emblems and priests | wearing gorgeous vestments and carry- “ | PSP T R TS T TS T TR N R T A S T I TN SN S LT ing missals, which passed from the pa- rochlal residence through the church grounds and into the church, where the opening service was sung by the San Carlos choir, assisted by Mrs. Kerlin, | soprano, and Mr. Kinney, Dbarytone, | from Santa Cruz. The procession was then re-formed, | and, led by small children, proceeded to the convent grounds, where Bishop | Montgomery performed the formal ded- ication of the house and grounds to San Carlos, patron saint of this parish. The Bishop, attended by priests, then en- | tered the house, blessing each room in | turn and dedicating it to the service of Christianity. | The religious procession was formed | for the third time and returned to the church, where the Bishop delivered a | dedicatory sermon, taking “Christian | Education” as his theme. He talked in a broad-spirited and scholarly way of the needs for religious teaching in secu- lar schools, giving as reasons for build- | ing parochlal schools the fact that less | and less religious training of any sort | was being yearly given In American | schools. He emphasized the need of | such training, whether from a Catholic | or Protestant standpoint, in making good citizens and quoted George Wash ington, whom he said should be Amer- | ica’s patron saint, that security for life, | property and reputation of Americans depends on the inculcation of a sense of religious obligation attaching to an | oath. For, he said, how can a man en- | tering office respect the obligations of | an oath if he does not respect Chris- | tianity, on which the oath is based? | Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament ! followed the sermon and closed the | | day’s ceremonies. The new ccnvent is | a handsome building of large dimen- | sions and well-arranged interior and the school is in charge of the Sisters of | St. Joseph. CONNECTING HAWAIIAN ISLANDS BY CABLE Volunteer Engineers Will Aid in the Development of the Pro- posed System. HONOLULU, Aug. 18.—There is soon to De telegraphic communication between the islands of this group. A cable connecting | the islands with one another is to be laid | +almost immediately. One of the first duties of the Engineer Corps that is here | now—the Third Battalion of the Second Regiment, United States Volunteer Engi- neers—will be the construction of this in- terisland cable system. The general plans for it have already been adopted b: the War Department, and the material, if not actually contracted, has been ar- ranged for. The fact that the Government intends to proceed at once with this work is pretty conclusive avidence that the fran- chise for a cable from the Pacific Coast to Honolulu will not be delayed. Tms fact, together with others, makes it pos- sible to count on cable communication with the world within as reasonably short a time as such a big work can be accorh- plished. L U SERIOUS GAS EXPLOSION. Melvin Snow and an Italian Badly Burned Near Summerland. SANTA BARBARA, Aug. 25.—Melvin Snow, editor of Equity of this city, and nominee for State Printer on the Shana- han Populist ticket, while lnspectlnf the etroleum tunnel of the Occldent Oil and ining Company, back of Summerland, was badly injured to-day by the explosion of gas. His face, hands and arms were bmfi; burned, but the injuries are not necessarily fatal. Unless internal com- plications caused by the violent concus- sion develop, he will recover. His com- anion, an ?muan miner, suffered similar njuries. The Italian had carelessly lighted a torch, and before Snow could order him to extinguish it the explosion took place.

AN OLD SAN QUENTIN BIRD HAS SERVED FOUR TERMS IN FIFTEEN YEARS. San Rafael Officers and Secret Service Agents Confident They Will Capture All of the Crooks. Special Dispatch to The Call TSAN RAFAEL, Aug. 25.—The iden- tity of the counterfeiter who for three months has followed his illegal pursuit in a ravine on the north side of San Rafael hill has now been fully estab- lished by Secret Service Agent Brown, and it is believed that it will be only a short time until he is in the clutches of | the law. The name of the man is Charles Irwin, and he is an old of- fender, having been in San Quentin no less than four times within the last fif- teen years. The last two times Irwin was sent to the prison by the Federal courts for ‘“shoving the queer.” His last term was for two years, and he has not been out of custody for much more than a year. Through the efforts of Constable Louis Hughes and Deputy Constable Trainor, who have aided the United States Secret Service officers, the fact has been developed that in this in- stance Irwin has not conducted his un- lawful work alone, but has probably been at the head of a well organized gang. So much spurious coin has been circulated that it is believed Irwin must have taken his product to San Francisco and had it distributed by the others. Doubtless much of the money found its way back into this county through the medium of the poolrooms at Sausalito. Another reason for this belief is the discovery of the photograph found among Irwin’s effects, which was at first believed to be Irwin himself, but is now thought to be that of one of his “pals.” This “pal” was frequently seen to drive up the rough road to the ra- vine with a horse and cart, by which means the money was wgblbly taken to_the metropolis. - } Either companion or Irwin him- } self must have been almost within the clutches of Constable Trainor yester- day, but the latter was ignorant ‘of the fact. When Trainor first visited the mountain fastnesses of the counter- feiter a set of buggy harness hung on an oak tree. When he returned after taking the outfit to the Sheriff’s office this harness had disappeared. It is evident that the malefactor tock warn- ing and vanished, taking the harness with him. The harness itself was prob- ably a set stolen from the barn of a citizen named Duffy about two weeks ago. The county authorities are keeping a sharp lookout for both men cn this side of the bay, but they have probably taken warning and will endeavor to get out of the State. Secret service agents, aided by the police, are now searching for Irwin at all his known haunts, while the outgoing trains and steamers are closely watched by offi- cers having in their possession an ac- curate description of the old offender. What hidden information the authori- ties have cannot of course be obtained, but that they are cenfident of capturing Irwin and running the whole gang to earth is evident from the language of Under Sheriff Cottingham. “We have him spotted,” he said, * will have to-morrow, sure.” SAN JOSE BALL STRIKE OFF. Trouble Settled by Iberg Retiring From the Team. SAN JOSE, Aug. 25.—Harmony has been restored in the San Jose Baseball team, and the alleged strike of ball-players has ciphered down to the single retire- ment of Iberg. Some money was due a few of the players, but this has been set- tled satisfactorily. C. R. Thomas, form- erly pitcher for the Fresno team, has been signed in Iberg's place. He will appear Sunday in the game with Stockton, and it is said will strengthen the team mate- rially. Manager Weston's friends are loud in denouncing the ingratitude of Iberg. They claim he is indebted to the management of the club $46. Shortly after he came to San Jose he was married to a Miss Ryan of San Francisco. The wedding was an elopement. The pitcher had no ready cash and the manager’s friends sgy Wes- ton paid for the license, bought the wed- ding ring and advanced money to set the couple up housekeeping. A couple of days ago Iberg was arrested for cruelty to animals and is now awaiting trial on the charge. LS Fast Pacing at Nutwood Park.
