He advised the delegation to | | continue_the agitation until success was | theirs. He promised to do all that he pos- | | sibly could to further the movement. Judge R. B. Carpenter of Los Angeles | | followed. ““ATl that I know about min- | ing.” he said, “Is how to put a great deal | of money in a hole in the ground, but not | how to get any out. Iam a novice at get- ting money out of the ground, but I am a pastmaster in getting it in.” | The business of the day, the selection | of a new board of officers, was then an- nounced. B. N. Shoecraft, who favored making the delegates ‘‘scrap” for office at every annual conventioh, nominated | ex-Senator Voorhefs of Nevada for presi- | | dent. While appreciating the honor, Mr. | | Voorheis declined to stand for the office, | for the reason that his business would not | | permit of him devoting the time to it ghat it deserved. | William C. Ralston was then placed in | nomination by Judge John F. Davis. His nominating speech ‘was a gem and fired | the miners with enthusiasm. “Our new president must be a miner,” he said, “and the question is, who is the man that can | | do us the most 'good and the best service? | We want a fighter. We want a man who | will not be frald to face even a United | States Senator and tell him to come off | his perch when he comes here and tells | us that our demand for representation in | the Cabinet 1s unreasonable and likely to | fail of success.” Great applause greeted | this reference to Senator Perkins’ remarks | of the previous day. Mr. Ralston was | elected by acclamation, and In acknowl- | edging the honor, sald that he was not | | much at eloquence, but that when it came | to working he always did the best he could. Hon. Tirey L. Ford nominated Fred Zeitler for ‘vice preeident, and he went into office with & hurrah. 8. J. Hendy was | his life la | tion of o |act a law giving more protection to the pe- | sine die.

The robbery was evi- dently the work of vandals, as the frames were not of much value, and the only object the partles could have in taking them was to commit maliclous mischief. The frames were stolen ffom a wall in the vestibule of the church and were not missed until yesterday. Father Caraher reported the matter to the police, and Frames | Officer John Flemming of the Californt street police station has been detailed on the case. ———— | Shrimps Condemned. Health Officer Lawlor, | and Officer Jack Butterworth, with four- | teen inspectors from the Board of Health, descended upon the Chinese shrimp-catch- | ers' camps at Butchertown yesterday af- | ternoon and condemned and burned over | 15,000 pounds of shrimps. A recent an- is made of the Butchertown crusta- ceans developed the fact that they were loaded with deadly ptomaines and highly dangerous to health. Upon this showing the Board of Health adopted a resolution prohibiting the catching and selling of all shrimps fn Butchertown waters. The Chinese refused to obey the order, and the waid of yesterday was the result. ROYAL The Absolutely Pure BAKING-PowWDER Made from Grape Cream of Tartar.

There was no war yesterday in the trial of Hite vs. Hite. Attorneys, court re- porter and Judge were on good behavior and not a cross word or an innuendo escaped their lips All interested in the case seemed anxious to bring it to a close and in this they were successful. The afternoon and morning sessions ended the case as far as evidence is concerned. On Monday morning the attorneys will go to the arguments. On order of Judge Jones the language | referring to blackmall, cowardice, guns | that were not called into action and the passing of lies was stricken from the record. Several witnesses were put upon the | stand in the morning, James Ferguson, | Tommy Gibbs and the Indian woman who goes by testified that Hite and the Indian woman were spoken of as aunt and uncle by Willlam Grove, who was a at Ferguson's place in the country. mmy Gibbs was examin- | ed and he said his mother was not accus- tomed to a long separation from Hite dur- ing the time they were on intimate rela- tions. He admitted she went to fan- | dangos where general Indian reveiry oc- curred, but every time with the consent | of Hite. Lucy was then called and | was consumed in trying to show that | Lucy attended these native celebrations |at the request of the .tribe because she wasachieftain’s daughter, not because her inclination or desire prompted it. Under a short cross-examination by Foote she sald she did not know her father's name, but she knew he was a ‘“Big 'Un,” be- cause she heard it. _ In the afternoon d certified copy of the marriage license of John R. Hite and Cecilia I\'ou%{es Wwas sworn to by Deputy County Clerk F. H. Masson of Oakland. It was dated October 12, 1897. Two days later they were married and on the 15th the marriage was recorded. Attorney Foote wanted to examine F. w. Berlin, as he ad heard Berlin had denied the evidence glven by Attorney Rodgers regard to the compromise. Berlin was not to be found, so Foote concluded to close kis end of the case. On agreement be- tween attorneys the case was closed. The arguments will be delivered in Judge Heb- bard's courtroom next Monday, Van R. Paterson speaking for the plaintiff and W. W. Foote for the defendant. ing.
