Arthur Breed, chairman of the county central committee. He introduced Hon. 1\\'_ R.

Gage and the rest of the State Republican ticket.” Amid great cheering General Barnes was presented to the audience. He sald in part: “Mr. Chairman, boys, ladies and gen- tlemen: I always sey and, of ocurse, al- t go south of Tehachapi ts were proved to-night when | bled in’the streets evening that feeling of ex- | can | ways feel, when I come to Oakland that | I am coming hom s and I audiences an like its because 1 lov tradit and its galaxy ce '61 has been this republic.

But I was the commander in hief at the time when Maguire was on ird, and if he went anywhere in those gua days he went because I sent him. The Examiner says that a year ago 1 spoke well of him. I am glad T did, for at at time he had not stated in Congress that the European anarchists were true specimens of American Democracy. did not say, like the Examiner, that the Democrats are nihilists because they are weak enough to follow Populism. But I have often wondered at the remarkable sorption of the Democrats by the Pop- ts, or vice versa I wonder how a good Populist feels when he attends one of Maguire's meet- ings? For he said he approved the Popu- list platform and would devote himself to the success of those principles. Yet he has been on the stump a month, and up to this hour not once alluded to a single Populistic doctrine. He has talked noth- ing but raflroad and monopoly, and the people are as ignorant now as to what he stands for as ever. “The Populist has listened, but has heard nothing yet as to the beautles of & Government conducted on Populistic ul American production and American la- bor. It stands upon the doctrine of gen- eral education and the people, and first, last and all the time it will stand for unfon.” Fusion and the bargain of the three alleged parties the-speaker branded as being destructive to pure politics an outrage to public decency. “If Henry T.

Therefore they don’t like him.” The speaker drew a picture of the begin- ning and advancement of man and civil- jzation from the monkey up to the perfect man, who rules the lightning almost. “But,” sald he, “the Democratic party has changed all. It started with Jeffer- son, and, golng back, ended with Ma- gulre.” He reviewed the issues of the campaign, pointing out the silence of the tri-party on the question of the acquisition of new territory—of Hawail, the Philippines and Porto Rico—and he urged one and all to stand by and elect Victor Metcaif the next Congressman from this district, because of his intelligence on all questions where- in the best interests of this State lle. “We want the Philippines,” continued the speaker. I am in favor of holding them—every inch of them—from now un- il the crack of doom, because they will be a base for mew commercial relations and interests. We hope before long to eat oranges and bananas grown in the Philippines by the" boys we sent there. I know that nine-tenths of the people of this State favor the acquisition of the Philippines. They won't Philippinize us, but we will Americanize them. That's why I want you to elect Victor Metcalf— clear-cyed, intelligent and a man who will make his mark.” General Barnes predicted that Gage will defeat Maguire by mearly 20,000 votes, “Never since I have gone out in any cam- paign have 1 seen such enthugiastic meet- ings everywhere and such a' return of people who have come back to march un- Qer the banner of McKinley and protec- on.”" u'rhe single tax doctrine also came in for a hard scoring, as did also Maguire's at- titude in Congress on the annexation . of Hawall, and the tri-party candidate’s election—if such could by any possibility ma- | Republican | principles.

MANY REPUBLICAN NOMINEES Indorsement Made by the Members of the Municipal League Yesterday. The Municipal League met at its head- quarters, 632 Market street, last evening. | C. G. Nagle occupied the chair. The following resolution was presented by John W. Ryan of the Thirty-first ns- sembly District, and was unanimously adopted. “Whereas, Tt has been the endeavor of the citizens and taxpayers of this city to obtain honest and consclentious members of the Board of Supervisors; and whereas this league is for good government and s organized to assist honorable men to be lected to office; and whereas, Edward C.

GERMAN REPUBLICANS MEET. | | . | An Enthusiastic Assemblage of Vot-| ers Who Will Support the Good i | 0ld Party. A Republican Club was formed last | night by local Germans, who met at Nor- man Hall, 413 Bush street. It was decided | | to call the organization the German- American Republican Club of San Fran- | cisco. The opening remarksof Robert Weineke | were recelved with vociferous enthu- | siasm, especially when reference was made to President McKinley. The name of Gage called forth an equal burst of applause from the assembled enthusiasts, | which subsided only after prolonged | cheering. | " The following named officers were elect- | | ed: President, Robert Weineke; first president, F. . ; third vice presi- les Dresdier ‘ vice president, F.

The students of the two universities, Stanford and California, are preparing | for a big mass-meeting at Woodward's Pavilion on the evening of October 29. This is the first Republican mass-m of the campaign under the auspices and nothing will be spared to make it a gigantic success he speakers have not been selected as| et, but they will be the best the uni-| versities can afford.

C. BOWMAN DISAPPOINTED HIS FRIENDS He Did Not Appear at Metropolitan Hall. TALKED TO THE POPULISTS PHELAN, BARRY AND HINTON DISCUSSED POLITICS. Berated the Railroad for Two Hours and Did Not Tire—Lean Toward Single Tax. What was announced would be & rous- ing Democratic meeting in Metropolitan Hall last evening turned out to be a dis- appointment to many. In the first place, despite the two bonfires and a band, the hall was not over two-thirds full, but most of all W. C. Bowman, an eloquent speaker of Los Angeles, failed to appear, as advertised, and the audience had to be satisfied with a number of orators who have frequently appeared in public here. Mr. Bowman got ofl the train down the road somewhere to address a gathering of Populists. L. M. Mansler was introduced as the chairman of the evening by W. P. Law- ler. The chairman sald that his audfence looked like an intelligent jury. He then made a speech on special privileges and equal rights. He was followed by John H. Marble, a young man of considerable literary ability who is one of the most frequent speakers upon the rostrum of the socialists of this city. He enlightened the audience upon matters. of poiitical economy, and made a special plea for the consideration of the candidacy of James H. Barry and a few others, William M. Hinton, candidate for Rail- road Commissioner, asserted that in the present campaign all of the monopolistic forces are arrayed on one side against the people on the other. That is, the railroad against the Democratic party. He devoted considerable time to telling all about the present litigation in the great grain rate cases pending in the courts. John P. Dunn, candidate for a position | on the State Board of Equalization, dis- | cussed taxes, and presented a bewilder- ing lot or figures on this line of thought, which appeared to be appreciated, if not fully understood. James H candidate for Con- | gress, was introduced, and was received | with cheers. He said that he did not | think the chairman did a kind thing in | an ex-convict. He | could not help it if he was sent to jail for | days for telling the truth. For this | he was punished for a contempt that he | felt then and still feels. Barry unbur-| dened his mind a little against courts | and Judges who feel that they are above | the people and yet are the known tools of corrupt monopolists. He next drifted | to single tax, and sald that he himself | is a single taxer, and he wishes, as the Republican papers state, that thls was | the real issue in the campalgn. He made | a flowery speech in favor of single tax, | and added that neither this nor any other | tax is the real issue, but it is the rall- | road question, and the Republicans are | Ty | trying to throw single tax dust into the eves of the people so as to biind them to the vital fssue. The speaker then un- | corked the vials of his wrath upon the | Southern Pagific, and told what he would | do with this nstituion if he goes to Con- gress and could have the power. Referring to General W. H. L. Barnes' speech in whicu the latter accused Ma- guire of being an anarchist, Barry said that Barnes looks like an attorney for a big railroad; he talks like one, he smells like one, and, by —, he is one. | Dropping Barnes, whom he abused | roundly, the speaker took up the subjects | ] of the Nicaragua canal and direct legls- lation. In conclusion, he sald that the candidacy of Joseph R. P. Kelly is at the instigation of the Southern Pacific to | split the Democratic vote and elect Julius | ahn. Mayor Phelan arrived late. He urged | his hearers to support both the city and | State Democratic tickets, for one s as | important as the other. ' The Southern | Pacific, he said, is reaching out to gather in both, as the railroad has great interests in the city and State. Speaking of this corporation, Mayor Phelan said that the | Southern_ Paclfic had been robbing the | people of the San Joaquin Valley for years, as proved by the fact that when | the Valley road was bullt, through that country the rates dropped 33 1-3 per cent. | Several male quartets were the pleasing features of the evening. TR s PHELAN AS A HEALER. He Comes, a Messiah, to the Thirty- First to Heal Democratic Dissensions. A crush of fully 100 voters partly crowd- ed Teutonia Hall last evening to see James D. Phelan in his great act of “healing the dissensions in the Demo- cratic ranks of the Thirty-first District.” If applause be anything to judge from, Mr. Phelan will go down in political his- tory as one of the most successful of the many healers that his party has from time to time given to the world. The meeting was opened by Timothy E. Tracey, in his capacity of chairman, who struck the key note of the evening by alluding to the dissensions that have riven the party of the Thirty-first Dis- trict. He introduced as the first speaker of the evening Franklin K. Lane, nominee for City and County Attorney. Mr. Lane accused the Republican nominees of pay- ing for their nominations on a graduated scale, and held up the Democratic virtue for shining comparison. “But,” said Mr. Lane, “the bosses who got this money were not always Repub- licans; they learned their first lesson in the Democratic party.’” This ingenuous admission of Mr. Lane rather paralyzed the sublime healer when he arose with balm and things to apply to that portion of Democracy’s bleeding anatomy that lies in the Thirty-first, but he survived the shock and pointed out to his hearers that in this election their district was thrice honored in that the two offices having the largest patronage had been given to candidates from the Thirty-first, and that the standard bearer, James Gee Maguire, had attained man- hood and got his first job among the men to whom he spoke. Turning the tide of his eloquence from general to personal propositions Mr. Phe- lan confessed a recognizaole similarity to a pair of lovers who never tired of talking of themselves, and with becoming mod- esty pointed out how he had vetoed the gas rates and the water rates and paved the streets and saved the Market Street Raflway Company the trouble and ex- And cnse of tearing up Its own tracks, rnc(dentnlly and apparently from the same personal motive Mr. Phelan took occasion to roast the morning Republi- can papers for not conducting the Demo- cratic campaign. He bitterly arraigned them for not publishing in full Maguire latitudes and Democratic speeches, and e served Kkindly warning to all’ sub- scribers that they were not getting what they were paying for through this unkind meagerness of Democratic space. ‘Another application of arnica to bruised Democracy and Mr. Phelan gave way to Richard Doolan, the Thirty-first District nominee for Superintendent of Streets, and the plum that Mayor Phelan earlier in the evening held up to the view of his audience as ‘“‘one of the biggest patronage on the ticket.” oS B olan was followed by Rhodes Borden, candidate for Superior Judge, and ashington ge, who was con- fident, and said so, that he had, in John Siebe, the easiest fight on the ficket. .

AN ADDRESS AT SPRINGFIELD SOME SIGNIFICANT WCRDS ON BRAVERY OF NEGROES. Cheering Multitudes Also Told of the Glorious Achievements in Be- half of the Dowa- trodden. Special Dispatch to The Call. CHICAGO, Oct. 15.—The President of the United States arrived in Chicago over the Illinois Central to-night at9:20. and will be the central figure in the city’s peace jubilee next week. Although much wearied by his long journey over the great West and his arduous day at the Trans-Mississippl Exposition he said just before leaving tke train: “Throughout the journey I have been deeply moved by *° patriotism of the people and delighted with the evidences of their prosperity.” After the city limits were reached, crowds lined the enclosures beside the tracks of the Illinois Central Railroad. by. The enthusiasm was unbounded, even when the President himself could not be seen. Mr. Mcliinley left the train at Thirty- ninth street, going directly to the home of Captain La Fayette McWilliams, where Mrs. McKinley has been enter- tained since arriving from Canton. The other members of the official party were taken care oL at the leading hotels. A welcoming committee of Chicago citizens met the train at Xan- kakee. Among the members were Postmaster Gordon, Mayor Harrison, Dr. William H. Harper, president of the University of Chicago; John Barton Payne and Judge Peter S. Grosscup. Enormous crowds listened to the words of the President, both at Deca- tur and Springfield. The latter place, the former residence of Abraham Lin- coln, furnished the largest assemblage of the day. They listened solemnly and with bared heads while President Mec- Kinley uttered feeling words in eulogy of Lincoln. The crowd at Springfield was the rec- ord breaker of the day, and it is esti- mated at 40,000. The Fifth Illinois In- fantry, stationed at Springfield, was a pleasing feature here. In an address the President said: Fellow citizens: I am glad to meet the people of the State of Illinois at their State capital. 1 am glad to be at the home of the martyrized President. His name is one of inspiration and a holy one to all lovers of liberty the world over. He saved the Union. He liberated a race—which he said ought to be free be- cause there might come a time when these black men could nelp keep the jewel of liberty in the family of nations. If any vindication of that act or of that prophecy were needed, it was found when the brave black men ascended the hill of San Juan in Cuba and charged the enemy at El Caney. They vindioated their own title to liberty on that fleld, and wit our brave soldiers gave the priceless t of liberty to another suf!ermi race. My fellow citizens, the name of Lincoln wiil live forever in immortal story. His fame, his work, his life, Is not Onli; an in- spiration to every American oy and girl, but to ali mankind. And what an encouragement his life work has been to all his successors in the Presidential of- fice! If any one of them, at any time, has felt that his burden was heavy, he had but to reflect upon the greater bur- seem lighter. My fellow citizens, I con- gratulate you that your great State fur- nished him to the country and to the world. You guard sacred his ashes here, | but the whole country guard with you his sacred memory. The business of the people is better than it has been for years, and the money while the credit of the Government was never higher and the national name was never dearer to the people than now and never more respected throughout the world. All thanks to our glorious army and navy, thanks to the fleets of Dewey and Sampson and the armies of Miles and Shafter and of Merritt, we have won| glorious triumphs for humanity. We | went to war, not because we wanted to, but because humanity demanded it. And, having gone to war for humanity’s sake, we must accept no settlement that will not take Into account the interest of hu- manity. Now, my friends, what we want to do— | (A voice in the crowd: “Elect you | again”)—Great applause and cries of | “That's right’’)—What we want is to have | no dispute of differences among ourseives | to interfere with our united judgment in | dealing with the foreign problems that are before us. As we stand together in war let us stand together until a settle- ment is made. Particular significance attaches to the remarks of the President about “black men” in view of the miners’ troubles at Pana and Virden between the white strikers and imported negroes, and the connection with those on the part of Governor Tanner, who was with the President on the platform. Between Springfleld and Chicago stops were made only at Mount Pu- laski, Clinton, Farmer City, Gibson City, Gilman and Kankakee. At the latter place the train was boarded by the Chicago reception committee, head- ed by Presldent Harper of the Univer- sity of Chicago. SOME CURIOUS LEGACIES. Here are some amusing particulars of legacies with strange conditions at- tached. Barly last year a peculiar pro- bate suit, involving some $500,000, was jmminent, the disinherited relations wishing to upset an old gentleman’s will because he had left the sum named to found and endow a church on the condition that every Sunday before the service the whole of the Thirty-nine Ar- ticles were to be read by the clergy- man outside the church door. A strange condition was attached to the legacy the late Sir Edward Bates, who died last year, left to his married daughter. He stated that he had seen his son-in-law’s Scotch property, ‘and he considered it would be a gross in- jury to his daughter and her children, considering ‘‘there are no neighbors within miles, and there is no medical man within six or seven miles.” So he arranged that, if his daughter stayed more than six months in any year, “and those six months not in wintes at that spot, the income derived from the legacy for the twelve succeeding months should go . to the residuary legatee. During this year a gentleman who died at Mons left a legacy of $3000 to five friends, the money to be spent on dinners served in different restaurants, and at each meal a certain dish to be eaten and a certain wine, of which he was very fond, to be drunk. Further- more, his memory was to be toasted at dessert, the five companions were to dine in black clothes and gloves and enter the room preceded by a flag and the music of an accordion. A wealthy gentleman recently left his son a large fortune on the condition that he shall visit every country in the THIS WEEK!

The general craze among fashionable | people for having their portraits donein | all manner of ways, says the London | Mall, is giving a good deal of impetus to that branch of art and much employ- ment to women who have adopted the | profession either as pastel portrait tak- ers, minlaturists or modelers in clay. Miniatures on ivory and water and oil pictures are as much the rage as ever. When in addition to this it is remem- bered that people who can, afford it have developed a taste for having cameo likenesses cut and bustsandbas- rellefs made in marble, it will be seen that the age is not decadent in its ap- preciation of all that is best in por- traiture. Cameo photographs are a new fash- ion introduced from Paris, and one which those unable to afford gems may find equally pleasing, while not so ex- pensive. The photograph, taken, of course, in black and white, is mounted on a square block of wood, in which is cut a depression to receive the portrait. The effect of an intaglio is thus given, while the lights and shades in the pho- tograph preserve the impression of a cameo. Several very wealthy American women have had their portraits painted on sets of plates, in which a different costume is shown on each one. For in- stance, one set intended for luncheon was of Sevres ware, on which the fair owner is represented in evening, street, reception and skating dress, and in a summer gown and her bridal array. The most extravagant of all these fads is the stained-glass portrait. Such a one was done for the Queen of Italy some time ago, and it is reported, too, that a wealthy young Duchess is sitting to an academician for a small medal- lion portrait of painted glass. S —— COLORING OF THE BUBBLE. So far all artificial colors have been pro- duced from dye stuffs exclusively, most of the latter having a pronounced color of their own. The handsomest of all, how- ever, are the spectral colors produced through prisms and distinguished by wonderful clearness and purity, which it has never before been deemed possible to accurately reproduce. To a certain de- gree the scientist Henry, in Paris, has now succeeded in permanently fixing the delicate colors resulting from the inter- ference .of light waves. The objects upon which the colors are gastened are thin sheets of water proof paper, polished glass plates or thin boards, which are placed in a dish and covered with water. On the bottom of the dish there are a number of very small openings, governed by a stopcock, ena- bling the operator to let off the water slowly and evenly. After the water has settled in‘the dish a few drops are added of a solution of asphalt, bitumen. or a similar material, which is separated from the. water in an insoluble shape by the action of air and light. When the essence has covered the sur- tace of the water it forms a very thin film, and vibrations of the air produced by ‘whistling across the surface of the fl{m are transferred upon the thin film, bringing forth a series of color combina- tions, each of which corresponds to a iven sound. After a short time the me. shlm wherein the bitumen has been dis- solved evaporates, and as the first small wrinkles appear in the film the stopcock is opened and the water is allowed to w off slowly. The film sinks evenly world and write a book on what he sees, This work is to be submitted to flo upon_the surface which Is to be colored. !‘ggafly the sheet of” paper or glass s dried, and the result is. the appearance ~ of wonderfully beautiful irldescent color- lng on the surface. )amples of moire paper treated in this manner have recently been received in the Arts and Trades Museum of Berlin and attracted considerable attention. The new invention of producing these colors with- out using dyestuffs has been patented in many countries, and is now being em- ployed commercially in Paris, where pa- per to be used for fans and other fancy work is being manufactured in large quantities. The process, although exact- ing the most minute care, is inexpensive and therefore very remunerative.—Phila- delphia Record. B DECREASED CONSUMPTION OF LIQUOR. One of the leading wholesale and retail liquor dealers in this city, in a business conversation, said: *The liquor - drinking habit is decreasing among our people. Our sales of all kinds of liquors in 1897 ‘were one-third less than they were five years ago.” The remark led to an inves- tigation, and the records of the Internal Revenue Bureau confirmed the fact as to the decrease in consumption of dis- tilled and malt liquors, and only a trifling increase in the domestic consumption of wines. The decrease noted has been gradual, about 8 per cent per year during the past four vears. Little wonder that the whisky trust went to the wall finan- nancially, or that so many distillers and whisky dealers have failed in the past five years. What the influences are which have brought about this result cannot be definitely stated, but it is claimed that the bicycle has had much to do with it.— Cincinnati Enquirer. ADVERTISEMENTS.
