The Alabamans are looking forward with pleasure to the excursion through the Presidio and Golden Gate Park to the CIff House, Sutro Heights and ocean beach. The Pacific Ocean is what they are most interested in, as many of the party dwell | inland.

Stock and Miss Marie Lawler con- tributed to_the pleasure of the guests aboard the Deflance. The cruise was not extended to Mare Is- land and Vallejo, because the visitors did not arrive in San Francisco until 10 p. m. Wednesday evening and are scheduled to depart Saturday morning. It was deemed best to give them two hours of the after- noon to _do a little shopping and see the sights of the city in their own way. At the Press Club. The reception to the visiting Alabamans in the Press Club last evening was one of the most successful soclal affairs the club- rooms have meen. It was a_gathering bright with the gay dresses of ladies, gay with the bright faces that still smiled over the memories of the day and per- L B e e S o o o S S e MAX H. KERSHOW DIES AFTER LONG ILLNESS Well Enown Athlete Pases Away Far From Home but Surrounded by Friends. Max H. Kershow, one of the best- known college athletes who ever visited the Pacific Coast, passed away in this city yesterday after a prolonged illness, aged 29 years. His remains will be shipped to an uncle in Pbiladelphia, his former home, to-morrow. His parents are.dead. Kershow was an extremely popular man. He came to this city two years ago and took up his residence here. He nad been ailing for years, and thres months ago was compelled to seek his bed. He was attended by Drs. Wagner and Renz. At an early hour yesterday morning he passed away. His brother Carl, Miss Ada E. Thall, his physicians and attendants were at his side when the end came. Kershow was & grnduate of Yale. On completing his studles at that institution of learning he entered the Harvard Law ‘hile at Yale he took an active interest in athletics and e expert in | its prettiest for the occasion. newspaper men meet newspaper men and sit down to enjoy a pipe and a bowl to- gether. The assembly hall had been rigged in Across the stage hung the word “‘Alabama” in let- ters of white. Above it was a shield bear- ing the crest of Alabama, and on each side was looped up bunting of red and white, its folds caught in bunches of pink roses and a confusion of green. From the center of the hall hung bunting of red, white and blue, with streamers of | red radiating over the ceiling and ending in electric lights, and pendent from these were big bunches of ferns. Around the centerpiece was set a square of Japanese lanterns. Brilliantly hued and swinging restlessly they colored the decorations overhead like the turn of a kaleldoscope. At the molding above each window a shield flashed brightly from a nesty of green, and from below it sprang great green brakes out and up among the lights twinkling on the ceiling. Bunting of réa gnd white was looped along the walls. More clusters of green branches studded with roses like points of dull fire completed the decorations on the wallg and windows, and among the clusters and from under the bunting and over the ceil- ing the electric lights glittered and flashed as if they, too, were inspired with the fellowship of the occasion. pole-vaulting. For several years he held the amateur championship of America in this event. He was an intimate friend of “Del” Hay, the son of the Secretary of State, who met a tragic death at New Haven several days ago. —————— New Writing Papers. ‘We have just received a large stock of the newest novelties in writing papers, consisting of the “Peau d'Antilope,” “Carrara Marmor” and ‘“Linen Lawn" pa- ers, all of which are made in new and ashionable sizes. Monogram dies made and paper stamped. Sanborn, Vall & Co., 741 Market street. . ——————— Draymen Want Streets Paved. The Draymen’s Association filled a pe- tition with the Board of Public Works yesterday requesting that Fourth street, between Bryant and Harrison; Spear street, between Market and Howard; Front street. between Washington and Jackson and between Pacific and Val- lejo, and Howard street, between Third and Fourth, be repaved with basalt blocks, and also that the pavement on Fifth street, from Townsend to Howard, Successful Programme. The progfamme was a long one and but little time was lost after the guests had arrived in getting it started. Fred 8. Myrtle, president of the Press Club, ad- vanced to the footlights and welcomed the editors and their friends from Ala- bama heartily and sincerely and in the name of the club, the newspapers of the city and the California Press Association, under whose auspices the guests were be- ing received in the clubrooms. He called upon W. D. Pennycook, president of the California Press - Association, and he echoed the words already spoken and added the hope that the Alabamans would come again and stay longer, if not perma- nently. W. E. Yerby, chairman of the delegation, expressed the thanks of his companicns and their appreciation of the courtesies shown them. Then, as'Myrtle put it, the serious_part of the programme was taken up. There was a piano duet by Charles O. Henle; and Ray Irwin, which was encored. George King sang “What of the Bow,” and then in response to insistent applause “The Bedouin'’s Love Song.” Miss Rose Broderick sang two_pretty little soprano songs, and Homer Henley followed with a ringing barytone solo that kept palms beating until he sang twice more. Miss Etta O'Brien followed, and after her Dan Lawrence, and then the ever entertainin Billy Hynes came out to sing and cracl be.relaid on the proper grade. The Board of Works is in.favor of the improvements designated and will endeavor to effect them should its funds be suffictent to do 80. — e Another Cigar Smuggler Caught. M. J. McDonough of this city paid a |* visit to soldler friends on the transport Logan last Wednesday night, and at half past 1 o'clock yesterday morning was ar- rested by Inspector Enlow while coming down the gangplank for attempting to smuggle a box of twenty-five cigars, which he had concealed under his vest. ‘Willlam Beveridge, second assistant en- gineer of the China, pleaded guilty yes- terday in the United States District Court of having attempted to smuggle several yards of silk, which he had wound around his body. He was ordered to appear for sentence this morning. —_———— Low Rates All Over the State.

For detalls in- qtuhe'-nf nearest agent, or at 613 Market stree o ~ jokes, and at his third call he sang his laughing song, with an accompaniment by ‘the whole audience before he was through. Virginia Carroll, the whistler; Arthur Cunningham of the Tivoli and W. J. O'Brien, and a speech by Uncle George Bromley wound up the evening's enter- tainment. The Call Thanked. It had an unexpected addition, however, in the passage of the following resolu- tions by the visitors: Resolved, That the Alabama Press Association returns its sincerest thanks to The San Francisco Call for the magnificent ride on the bay and for the many courtesies it has ex- tended to us. Resolved, That the Alabama Press Association, here assembled, tenders its heartiest thanks to the California Press Association, the local press and the San Francisco Press Club for the delightful entertainment to-night and especially to the ladies and gen- tlemen who have taken part in the programme. The programme was arranged by John Harrison, secretary of the Press Club, and to him is mainly due its success. Big Building Illuminated. The resolutions had been passed and the last of the refreshments were rapidly dis- appearing when Mr. Myrtle announced that The Call tuilding was to be lighted up at 12 o’clock, and as the people crowd- ed to the big windows of the assembly hall the tall tower flashed brightly in the darkness, outlined in fire and raising its brilliant crest high over the surrounding buildings until it seemed to pierce the sky. In the distance the thousands of lamps blended their rays until the faces of the building glowed like heated iron and the tall structure stood out against the gky like a new sun in the heavens. For an hour it flashed its radiance into the night, and tken suddenly as it came it went again, leaving only the single spark that always burns bright on the crest of its lofty dome. This morning the visitors will be taken for a ride to the park and CHff over the electric lines. For this afternoon The Call is endeavor- ing to secure permission to take the vis- itors to the famous old ‘“‘bulldog” of the sea, the battleship Oregon, that lies in the stream off Folsom-street dock. It hopes to be able to announce to the visitors be- fore noon that its efforts have been suc- cessful. o e e O R e ], CONTRACTORS CHARGE THE CITY TWO PRICES Board of Works Gets Lower Rates on Some Goods Than Board of 5 Supervisors. In the awards for furnishing supplies to the various departments of the municipal government the Board of Public Works appears to have done better in some cases than the Board of Supervisors. The price at which wire nails will be furnished the Board of Works will be 0359 cents per pound, while the Board of Supervisors will pay 8 and 10 cents_per pound for nails used by the County Jails and the Police Department. Assorted screws will cost the Board of Supervisors 38 cents per gross, while the Board of Works will pay only 19% cents. Sand aper will be iurnished the Board of orks for $2 95 per ream, and the Super- visors will pay goods. In some cases the same firm was the successful bidder and charged two prices to the two boards. —————— The burglar makes hay while the sun doesn’t shine. per ream for the same | BIVES ADVIGE T0 MERCHANTS Postmaster Admoni®hes Them to Mail Letters Earlier. Irregularities and Delays Are Caused by Dilatory Posting. e The merchants of San Francisco have been admonhished by Postmaster Mon- tague. Yesterday every merchant in the city who has a large amount of mail mat- ter to handle received a small letter writ- ten in red ink, in which he was forcibly reminded of his or some other man's shertcomings. Two hours later a score of men in Station D of the postoffice, at the foot of Market street, perspiring as they ruefully,gazed at tons of letters that were dumped in for them to sort and get away on malls about to depart, were won- dering whether the public would take the advice of the Postmaster or would con- tinue their heart-breaking practices of the present. Postmaster Montague wrote: The prompt dispatch of a mall is a matter which equally interests you and the Postoffice Department. To insure this it is necessary that mall shouid be deposited in the letter boxes early and often. The practice of many mei chants of permitting the mail of the day to a« cumulate until the very last hour and then depositing it in a bunch at the end of the busi- ness day is the cause of much of the irregular- ity and’ delay complained of. Between 4:30 and 6 p. m. daily Station D holds the hardest working men in San Francisco. They have thousands of let- ters to handle and are oppressed with the certainty that, work as hard as they can, they will never get all of the epistlés into the mails Tor which they are intended. It i8 not their fault, but the fault of the merchants who delay until the last min- ute, or of clerks who fail to_deposit let- ters earlier in the day. With the in- crease of the mail the trouble has been aggravated constantly and the Post- master found it necessary to administer the rebuke contained in the foregoing ex- tract from his open letter. Within an hour and a half, beginning at 4:30, the Southern Overland, the Central Overland, the “Owl” and the Coast Line malls all get away, and they are all heavy with thousands of letters. WARNED BY LYNCHERS AND TRIES TO LEAVE Witness Against Lookout Lawbreak- ers Attempts to Escape Through ‘Writ of Hab2as Corpus. Spencer & Raker, attorneys for A. C. Colburn, a resident of Modoc County, who gave damaging testimony before the Grand Jury in regard to the recent lynch- ing at Lookout, and who was placed in confinement last Tuesday when it was discovered that he intended to leave the locality, filed a petition for a writ of ha- beas corpus in the Supreme Court yester- day. (.yolbum knows a great deal about the crime at Lookout, and was forced to tes- tify a_week or more ago. His evidence was of a highly damaging nature to the accused parties, and he was warned that any delay in that section of the State might cost him his life. Colburn immediately settled up his af- fairs and was on the eve of departure when his arrest was effected by Superior Judge Harrington and District Attorney Bonner. It is claimed by his attorneys that his detention is iuegal, and his ime mediate liberation is demanded. ———— Death of Old Newspaper Vendor. Frederick Ambich, an old newspaper pedéler, was found dead in his bed yester- day morning. He had been sick for sev- eral days, and the autopsy showed that death was due to cirrhosis of the liver. Ambich was a familiar figure at the in~ tersection of Market and Kearny streets for many yea: ——————— Game Law Violator Caught. A. T. Vogelsang of the Board of Fish Commissioners yesterday arrested a vio- lator of the quail law at Cloverdale. The culprit was convicted and fined $4. Vio- lations of the game laws are becoming too numerous to suit the commission, and a vigorous campaign against the lawbreak- ers is planned. 2 ADVERTISEMENTS. Big jump in family washing.
