Luck was against him and he lost his money. He appealed to friends for ald and they in- | troduced him to Thad Hobson of the T. W. Hobson Company. A loan of $130 was asked and Hobson readily complied, giv- ing him a check on the First National Bank, and taking an oraer on the firm of Wempe Bros., paper-box manufacturer - of San Francisco, for the money. Wempe Said he was onc of the firm and the money would be quickly forthcoming. Hobson sent his order to the firm, but it would not honor it.

It was a refreshing sign of the times to hear their laudations of the immortal Linceln, and it would not be too much to hope that twenty years from now the opposition orators would be referring to the wise and statesmanlike policy of Willlam Mc Kinley.

If the standards of des potism could circle the world with con- quests, why should not the beams of con- stitutions rty emanating from th glorfous er threw their radiance over the dark p of the world? | The Republican party, he said, stood for sound money, the system which had made the nation a individuals solvent, in- creased the per capita circulation and re- | storea the waste places of Democratic misrule with peace and plenty. The party of McKinley would rather have Chaffee and MacArthur upholding the dignity of the flag in the Orient than to have Gen- eral Coxey marching through this coun- try.

Fireworks and lled out an immense throng, aud as one of the greatest meetings ever keld here, Colonel Runyon, chairman of the County Committee, presided. Judge Barham delivered a strong ar- | raignment of the Democratic party on the trust question and backed what he said by the Congressional Records. He urged the election of Hon. F. L. Coombs to Con- gress, referring to his abllity as a legis- lator ‘and as Minister fo Japan. He de- clared the issue in the campaign was Bryanism. .

LOS ANGELES, Oct. 19.—The local De- mocracy to-night shook itself from the | apathy “that has enveloped it throughout the campaign and prepared a big demon- ration in honor of Willlam R. Graves, | PHELAN AND - | the candidate for Congress in the Sixth District, Mayor Phelan of San Francisco and Chairman J. C. Sims of the State | Central Committee. A mass meeting was held in Hazard's Pavillon and was at- tended by 3300 persons, who received each speaker with enthusiasm. x-Mayor Meredith P. Snyder, who is | again a candidate for re-election, presided | and introduced Willlam R. Graves as the first speaker. Mr. Graves in a brief speech declared that he was neither lost nor gone before, but_was the real candidate for Congréss. He emphatically denied that there was any coliusion or fraud in his nomination or that it was accomplished | by any compact or understanding with | the Southern Pacific Company. The charge that h put up to be knocked down or to assist in the election of any other candidate he branded as a baseless | fabrication; nor was there any lack of | enthusiasm on his part, because he be- lieved the country would go Democratic. Nothing but physical inability had pre- vented him prosecuting his canvass hith- ‘eno.uln conc]lusion fir‘ Graves promised “to discuss things” later and made way for Mayor Phelan. Bl Mayor Phelan's speech was mainly de- voted to an arraignment of the adminis- tration’s policy in the Phitippines and to the dangers of militarism. In concluding he said: ‘This is the first opportunity th, e had to speak. If they are biind to tne fesmny of history, to the genlus of their institutions to the sacred character of thelr constitution. they will rue the day.

Abels. a dealer In hay and wood, at Eighth and Julian streets, was destroyed | by fAre this morning at 3 o'clock. The | blaze was the work of an incendlary, and | he was almost caught in the act. So determined was the firebug to accom- | plish his purpose that he pursued his dis- | coverer and probably would have added | murder to that of arson had he succeeded | in_catching him. | Nunce Benjamin, a young man who | drives a delivery wagon around _town, | was on his way home at 356 North Eighth street at the time. He saw the blaze and | rushed to the Eureka engine-house, in the near vieinity. As he ran past the burn- ing bullding yelling *“fire’” a heavy-se man dashed out and ordered him to stop. Benjamin kej)t on running, with the man after him. Just as he reached the door of the fire house the firebug caught him. The fellow hurled Benjamin into the | middle of the road, and with an_oath aimed a vicious blow at his head. Benja- min dodged and jumped to his feet. He | recovered himself before the firebug was | upon him and sprinted for home. The fel- | low pursued him up to the door of the ! house. In the meantime neighbors had been aroused and an alarm of fire turned n. Abels’ loss will probably amount to $1500. Two horses and a quantity of hay were burned. An attempt to destroy the same property by an incendlary was made on May 7. Benjamin can give but | a vague description of the incendiary.

Special Dispatch to The Call. LOS ANGELES, Oct. 19.—The question whether an ante-nuptial contract could be made, whereby a husband could be re- leased from supporting and maintaining his wife after contracting marriage, was brought up before Judge Allen to-day. Simon Benioff filed an answer to the complaint of his wife in a suit to compel him to support her. They were married on March 20, 189, and a child was born on September 14 of the same year. Benioff never lived with his wife after the mar- riage, but has paid $10 a week since the birth of their child for its support. His answer acknowledges the paternity of the child, and as an answer to why he has never supported his wife he sets up an ante-nuptial contract, in which it was agreed between himself and his wife that they should marry so that the child would be made legitimate, but that further than aying $10 a week for its support Mrs. enioff should have no claim on his prop- erty, nor should he previde for her main- tenance. Judge Allen, in making an order for $50 attorneys’ fees and $10 per week during the pendency of the suit, sald: Any man marrying & woman under the cir- cumstances set forth in this answer should be the last one on earth to say anything about it It s positively revolting to a respectable com- munits. As to this ante-nuptial contract. It it is valid, then the m: is vold, as the Grand Matron Bowes to-morrow morn- ing. The installation will follow. The next sessjon probably will be held in San Francisco. BROCK’ Mass., Oct. 19.—At a trial day Will Stinson broke all previous rec- orJ- against time behind pace, from eight to M‘tnn mne:d inclusive.
