Consolidation of Two Lodges of K. of P. Followed by a Wedding Supper. The consolidation of Justice Lodge No. 85 with Golden City Lodge No. 63 of the Knights of Pythias, which, in'the cards of invitation was designated as “the nup- tials” of the two, was effected last night in Pythian Castle in the presence of a large number of Knights, including a del- egation from California Lodge. Herman Schaffner, G. K. of R. and S., was the officiating officer, and united the two lodges, which hereafter will be known as Golden City Lodge, with George W. Mon- teith as chancellor. The ceremony, which Wwas very interesting, was followed by a number ‘of short speeches, and at the cl of the business the members marched to the Cosmos rotisserie, where more than 100 partook of an excellent wedding dessert was being served Chancellor Mon- teith, who was the toastmaster, called upon’ Grand Chancellor George Samue! and Past Chancellors J. B. McMurra, Dr. A. S. Tuchler, Dr. Koolman, Radelfinger, Roscoe Lane and Herman Schaffner, G. K. of R. and §., to respond to sentiments, and they did so, briefly dwelling on the consolidation and ex- pressing the hope that more lodges would consolidate, as it was better to have a small number of strong lodges than many weak ones onsolidation Golden City Lodge sed its membership to 160, and s materially swelled its bank account, having now mo an $4500 to its credit. — e MILLERS PAYING A PREMIUM ON .WHEAT HOLDERS OF GRAIN ARE MUCH MORE JUBILANT. Indications Looking to Higher Prices—Barley Assumes a Fictitious Value. Holders of grain were made more jubi- g the past week.

The same august body of law makers will also be asked not to sep- arate the appropriations for salaries from those for the support fund. The Com- missioners decided that hereafter instead of holding their meetings in the office of the Attorney General they will meet in the several hospitals of the State, be- ginning first at Stockton. The next meeting will be held in December. AROUND THE CORRIDORS. Judge Hamilton Wallace of Stockton is at the Lick. C. V. Scott, a merchant of Galt, is at the California. G.

Last Friday No. 9 Corps of the Salva- tion Army celebrated, the opening of its new home, 15 Market street, with jollifi- | cation after the regulation army fashion. The hall, though on most occasions am- | ply large, failed to accommodate the im- mense crowd that applied for admission. At § o'clock every seat, as well as tempo- rary side benches arranged for the even- ing, s taken. The throng then filed in- to the aisles, which soon were jammed, and the late arrivals were turned away. In attendance were the officers and members of all the local Salvation Army Corps. A good representation from Oak- fand and Alameda were also present to patticipate in the festivities. The meeting was a distinct success and from its very central location the corps will doubtless have its hands full of work. “ECHOES OF 'I:’EL WAR. The California Camera Club Gives Its One Hundredth Entertainment. The California Camera Club gave its one fllustrated lecture at Metro- politan Temple last Friday. The house was well filled, and the audience showed its appreciation of the Interesting lecture delivered by James W. Irwin. The series of 100 lectures was begun in June, 18%0, and the club has not missed a month since that time, which gives it a reputation en- oyed by few other organizations of its ind. The subject on which Mr. Irwin_dis- coursed was “Echoes of the War.” Very interesting views were thrown on the can- vas, and greatly assisted the audience in comprehending the events which have fol- Jowed Spain's defeat. Moving pictures and the color lantern were other interest- ing features of the programme. The last- named is the only apparatus of its kind on the Pacific Coast. ———————— Charged With Robbery.

Owing to the fog the vessel got down beldw Santa Cruz before Captain Parker got his reckoning. Then he had to beat back to port. On August 5 Hugo Lindquist, one of the Oriental’s fishermen, was drowned in the Nashagak River, while fishing. ‘His body was recovered and was buried in the cem- etery of the Moravian mission. He was 25 vears old and unmarried. he schooner Bowhead arrived in port yesterday from Resurrection Bay with the members of the Kenal Mill and Min- ing Company aboard.

State Commissioncrs Consider Mat- ters for the Benefit of the Insane. of Lunacy was held vesterday In the office of the Attorney General; present W. F. Fitzgerald, Dr. W. P. Mathew, Dr. Fred- erick W. Hatch, General Barrett, Raleigh Barcar, J. R. McDougal, Major Harry Patton, Isaac Upham, Frank Gould, O. A. Hale and J. R. Ruddick. The Com- missioners decided that there should be an “eplleptic farm'” established at the Home for the Care of the Feeble-minded at Glen Ellen, and it was decided to peti- | tion the coming Legislature for an appro- priation for such a purpose. A committee, consisting of Messrs. tzgerald, Hatch, Barcar, Gould and Ruddick, was selected to frame amendments to the insantly laws of the State and present them to the next Legislature. Considerable’ time was consumed in a discussion as to the advisability of having more land for the several hospitals. It resulted in the adoption of a resolution that the Commimssioners make an inves- tigation to determine the amount of land required and then to ask the Legislature to make an appropriation for the pur- chase thereof. The several superintend- ents of the hospitals made reports as to they require o conduct their establish. It was deemed best that the Com- OF THE SERVICE. Colonel Johnson Willing to Remain in Command, but Ready to Accede to the Wishes of the Privates. Nearly every man of the Sixth Califor- nla Regiment has expressed a desire to be mustered out of the military *service of the United States. That expression was made in a manly way at the request | of Colonel Johnson. On Thursday Col- onel Johnson called out his command, and on their parade ground at Fort Point asked the men, in a short address, what was their desire. * He said the majority of the officers were In favor of remalning in the service, “but I know,” he sald, “that many of the privates are equal, if not superior, to most of the officer: good salaries. I re- ceive §250 @ month as commander of this regiment, but- do not want to retain my commission or my salary at the expense of you men. mustered out will please step to side.” When were to be sent to thelr homes. sented nearly £ per cent of the command, and Colonel Johnson was satisfied that 1t was the desire of the men to be. mus- tered out as soon as possible; unless they were sent to the front mggtlva service. one the roll was counted 848 men Yesterday It was said g€ orders given some weeks ago to muster out the regi- ment had been modified,*dnd that it now rested with the department’ commander whether they would join the next expe- dition to the Philippines or not. The men, however, do not look upon the re- port with favor, and say It is only an- other excuse to keep up the hopes of the men, while their private business suffers, and the office have excuses to retain thelr commission and‘'draw good sala- ries. The orders to muster out the regiment are progressing slowly—too slow, in fact, to suit the men. Many of the privates are complaining of favoritism in muster- ing out men. Some men favored by their captains have no tgouble in getting out of the service, while the requests of many others, they say, are ignored. —_———— THE RICHTER BENEFIT. The Citizens of San Francisco Honor | the Memory of the Dead Hero. Despite the inclement weather a large concourse of citizens gathered at the Me- chanics' Pavilion last evening to pay tribute to the memory of the late Captain Reinhold Richter, commander of Com- pany I, First California Infantry, who was mortally wounded in the battle of Manila on the night of July 3L It is estimated that at least 33000 will be real- ized from the benefit and this amount will be used for the best interests of the widow and four children that Captain Richter left to mourn his loss. In addi- tion to the large crowd of citizens pres- ent the regular army was represented by Major General Merriam and his aid, wirst | Licutenant Bennett, Seventh Infantry Colonel Berry and staff of the Seventh, Lieutenant Colonel Johnson and staff of the Sixth, Major Rice and staff of the California’ Heavy Artillery, Major General Dickinson and = staff, General Warfield and staff and_Adjutant General Barrett and Colonels Peeler, Burgin, Beck and Howell of the Governor's staff. The Governor_was unable to bpe present, so General Merriam reviewed the troops in his absence. A well-selected programme was carried to a successful conclusion and it greatly pleased the audience. It was opened by a concert by the League of the Cross Ca- dets band, and this was followed by a re- view of the Twentieth Kansas Regiment, under Colonel Funston, and later in the evenlng the Second Battalion, under Ma- or Whitman, gave a battalion parade. he members of the San Francisco Turn Verein furnished some {nteresting ath- letic_exercises, and_the First Division of the Naval Militia, N.

SAYS HE _IS:-OVERWORKED MARKET INSPECTOR DAVIS ONi THE WARPATH. Will Seek the Grand Jury’s Ald| to Make the Judge Try the Case. A peculiar complication has arisen out of the arrest of H. Falk, the restauran teur at 211 Fourth stre=t, who was taken | into custody the day before yesterday by Chief Market Inspector Ben Davis, on a charge of having diseased pork In his possession. It is customary in these cases, where the Inspector catches an offender with proofs of guilt in his pos- session, for no warrant to be sworn out, but an arrest is made immediately and the complaint is drawn up and sworn to afterward. Davis followed this course and Falk, after his arrest, was released on bond. Yesterday- morning Davis found that the case had been assigned by Sergeant Mc- | Donald to Police Court 1 for trial. The Inspector accordingly drew up a for- mal complaint against Falk and went to the courtroom to swear to it before Judge Mogan. The latter refused to re- ceive it. Davis says: “The Judge declined to have anything to do with the case. I told him that it had been regularly assigned to his court and that I was only doing my duty to come before him with the complaint. | Still he refused to allow me to make an affidavit and told me to go to some other Judge, as he did not propose to be longer imposed upon. He had too much work. I refused to go. It is not my business to chase around through the diiferent courts hunting for a judge to try my cases. “Suppose that 1 did it. The other Judges would very properly tell me to g0 back to the Judge to whom the case was assigned. Judge Mogan's excuse was | that he had too much to do. That is no affair of mine. I am not to blame if he gets more than his share of the trials. The case was assigned to his court and I bad no authority to make any change. When he refused to take my affidavit, I went to the Prosecuting Attorney and he told me the only thing to do was to bring the case to the attention of the Grand Jury. Since then I have been de- termined to present the whole matter to the jury and see whether or not Judge Mogan can be made to attend to this ¢ Dr. Williamson, when made acquainted with the facts of the case, stated that as a member of the Board of Health, he fully indorsed the stand taken by In- specfor Davis. “It is not the duty of our officers to hunt Judges to try their cases,” remarked the doctor, “and they will not do it, either.” Judge Mogan's side of the case is briefly this: .He claims that more than a fair share of the Police Court work has been shoved upon him. of late and that the other Judges have had too much play time. He said: “It is a case of running a willing hors# to death. I doR’t propose to stand it any longer.’ Nearly all of the Jury trials come to me and a good deal else. Some of the other Judges can step in and attend to D: ' _case.” SCAVENGERS’ UNION ITS'MEMIBERS MAY LOSE THEIR OCCUPATION. Decision of the Supervisors That the City Shall Collect Its Garbage Causes the Trouble. The appropriation of $150,000 by the Board of Supervisors for the collection and reduction of the city's garbage for the next six months has filled the mem- hension lest they find themselves in Othello’s plight. They held a meeting Thursday night and discussed various methods of presenting their grievance 10 the City Fathers in order to prevall upon them to rescind their action. It is claimed by the men who handle refuse that they will lose their means of existence, and they assert that nearly four thousand mouths look to them for daily food. They figure that the twelve hundred men who operate the wagons support from three to four times their own number, and they denounce in un- measured terms the attempt to deprive | them of the fruits of a business which they have built up only .y, years of in- dustry and enterprise. Now, they declare, the Sanitary Re- | duction_Works, of which corporation ex- | Mayor L. R.

A young lady in New York City relates the curlous case of he¥sfsteg who suffered from a sort of nervous dyspepsia—that was what the doce tor called it. She was despondent low-spirited, inclined to imagine all sorts of things. One thing especially seemed to be in her mind ; that was the idea that abscesses were forming in different parts of her body. The sister who tells the story kad found Ripans Tabules a specific for headache, and generally had a supply on hand. One day, hdre in joke than in earnest, she said to the afflicted one: “Try theses they'll cure you.” Well, she did try them, nn"urangely enough the. Tabules did cure her. The despondency left her. This was near! car ago. She took less than a dollar's worth in all, and has oxe for over eight months now.
