There will be an exhibition of work done by the stu- dents last year and a recognition of those | who successfully passed the international | examinations. | It is not absolutely certain that a Re- publican nomination is equivalent to elec- tion, but it is quite certain that a Demo- cratic nomination is defeat registered in advance. The Democratic organization 1s ith Phelanism and all the eakness that the name of Phelan im plies. No doubt Gavin McNab and Jaspe: IcDonald may find some venerable and pected gentleman of the Monticello Club who will take the nomination for the pleasure of seeing his name at the head of the ticket, but that will be about all. There is some talk of offering the honor of Democratic leadership to the home- ward bound soldier, General James Francis Smith, but statesmen of the party do not approve of the tender, as they are holding General Smith in reserve as the Democratic nominee for Governor next vear. The polticians who talk of nomi- nating him for Mayor are putting up a scheme to sidetrack him. JAPANISE ENTERTAIN A VISITING BISHOP Rt. Rev. C. C. McCabe and Wife Arc Guests of Honor at an Inter- esting Function. Bishop and Mrs. C. C. McCabe were the guests of honor at a reception ten- dered them last night at the Pacific Jap- anese Mission, 1329 Pine street. A special programme in'honor of their distinguished visitors had been prepared by the attend- ants at the mission. Addresses of wel- come were delivered by the Rev. George L. Pearson, presiding elder of the district of Hawaii,'and Kyugon Obata, pastor of the Japanese Methadist Episcopal Church, on behalf of the Pacific Coast district. of the Japanese mission work on this coast; the Rev. T. P. Neely of New York, corresponding secretary of the Sunday- school Union and Tract societies; the Rev. Mr. Bovard and other prominent work- ers were present and delivered addresses. Bishop McCabe, who delivered the clos- ing address and gave the benediction, spoke in glowing terms of the work so far accomplished and urged its continuance on more extended lines, Hymns were sung in Japanese by stu- | . dents and children, addresses were de- livered both in Japanese and English. | The children’s singing took the fancy of the audience and they were requested to repeat all their numbers. The Rev. T. L. Pearson expressed a hearty welcome from the people of Hawali in their request for a visit from their Bishop, which the Rev. Mr. McCabe promised to pay as soon as ! 'his duties would permit. —_— Druids in Session. There was a meeting last night of the general committee of the Ancient Order of Druids that has under consideration a proposition to hold a jubilee meeting be- tween the 15th and 30th of November. J.

Gray-haired argonauts of '49 and silver- tressed matrons who accompanied them | across the plains or on the perilous voy- age around the Horn, together with hun- dreds of the younger generation to whom | has been intrusted the duty of keeping | alive the memory of those early dnys.l gathered at the rooms of the Society of California Pioneers yesterday and cele- brated the fifty-first anniversary of the admission of California into the American | Union. | Vigorous, almost as in the days when | they started west, the old-timers entered‘ | into the pleasures of the day and night | with a zest born of a love for the State they helped to build. Heretofore it has been the custom of the society to cele- brate the day by an outing, followed by | a banquet. But this plan was changed for | the nonce and the committee of arrange- | ments, composed of Aylett R. Cotton, E. | Root, R. T. Kruse, S. W. Holladay and | | W. B. Farwell, decided upon an indoor | | celebration. | Pioneer Hall was_tastefully decorated | for the occasion. Conspicuous over the entrance to the hall was the bear flag, | flanked by the Stars and Stripes. Stream- | ers of red, white and blue, with yellow drapery intertwined, lent a warmth of color to the main hall. Seated on the ! platform beneath a great American flag ! were the officers of the society. Potted palms added to the color effect. A programme of rare ‘excellence was presented. There was but one set ad- dress, that of Justice of the Supreme Court Walter Van Dyke, president of the Pioneers. An original poem was read by Dr. Charles D. Cleveland. President Van | Dyke spoke in part as follows: On behalf of the Society of California Pio- neers 1 bid you a cordial welcome to this celebration of* our fifty-first anniversary of admission of the State into the Union. In view of the disturbed condition of the country consequent upon the attempt at as- sassination of our. President, it might be | thought that we should postpone or defer al- | together this annual celebration. This cannot | be done, for the constitution of our soclety declares that the anniversary of the admission | | of our State shall be celebrated on the 9th dav | | of ‘September. The hopes and prayers of the | | whole nation are that the President may recover nd the latest intelligence indicates, that our | | | | prayers will be answered and hopes’ gratified. Scene of Greatest Achievements. Brother Ploneers, we are particularly blessed in being spared fo see our State grow_into a great and prosperous commonwealth. When we came here from Missourl this coast was | a wilderness. Out of that vast territory we have seen State after State formed and ad- | { mitted into the Union, So that what was once | a howling wilderness' is now occupled by a | | prosperous American commonwealth. 1 It is said that Mr. Seward, while negotiat- | | ing the purchase of Alaska, declared that | | “The Pacific Ocean would become the scenc | | of man’s greatest achievements.”” Fronting on | that great ocean, as this State does, with a | coast line of some 800 miles, with one of the | finest harbors on the face of the giobe, and | on a direct line from the principal p the Atlantic to the Orient, surely Caiifornia has a brilliant prospect. The “Discovery of Gold” was the theme of Dr. Cleveland's poem which was de- livered with marked elocutionary effect. The concluding stanzas were as follows: In a little while the tale was told, The most royal metal 'twas found to be; Eureka! Eureka! We've crowned with gold; Crowned with gold for all eternity. | Throughout the world rang the cry! The wise, the strong, the fearless could not wait; They came by land, by sea, far and nigh. From these Ploneers sprang the Golden State. On they came, firm in brawn and strong in mi Heedful of the fatal errors of tae past; They were the strongest of all maux!yl, And built a State that will forever last! Evening Entertainment. The remainder of the programme was as follows: Four songs, Opus 56 (McDowell)—(a) ‘‘Long | Ago,”” (b) ““The Swan Bent Low to the Lily,™ (c) A Maid Sings Light (d) ““When the Gloaming Shadows Creep,” Miss Anne Lonise Miss Ella Graves accompanist; read- | 1 (Bret Harte), s ; song, ‘‘The Friar on Orders Gray'’ (Shields), J.

Some of the younger members indulged in the pleasures of the dance. The younger element of the soclety was present in large force in the evening, when dancing was the principal feature. Many elegant toilets were worn and lemonade | and claret punch regaled the dancers.

Ra- hael, the well known business man, who Bas “Just returned home after a three months' business trip to the Atlantic coast. ¢ “During my sojourn in the East,” said Mr. Raphael, “I came in contact With some of the big financial men. It sur- prised me to find how well they were i posted on the products and resources of California. Although business is fairly booming along in the East, capitalists are eager to invest money in our State. They are very much interested in the oil in- dustry and are ready at all times to pur- ‘The many wildcat oil schemes are played out in the East, though some of the rural population still take the gilded bait offered by unscrupu- lou 3 v ey Goodkind, one of the big ofl men of New York, told me that he was ready at any time to buy oil lands at a good | figure, provided the lands had at least one well with an output of 200 barrels a day. They will not, however, touch any of the ! schemes of oil promoters that are lauded by so-called ‘experts.’ “California fruits and wines are all the rage in the East. Where a few years ago the leading restaurants in New York did not list our wines, now they are on every wine list and consumed by the New York- ers. The leading fruit stores display California fruits and advertise them as such. I was amused when in July I paid 50 cents for four Bartlett pears. The peo- ple in the East realize that there is a great future in store for California, not only on account of the trade with our new possessions in the Orient, but also on ac- count of the discovery of oil here. They have always hesitated to invest money here for the reason that we did not have fuel for -manufacturing purposes. Now that we have oil as fuel in abundance there is no reason why we should not manufacture and compete with the East. “It is to be regretted that the spirit of harmony, that prevails in other business communities is lacking in San Francisco. If the people here would unite San Fran- cisco could in a very few years be made one of the greatest cities in the world. We have all the facilities and the oppor- tunities are offered to us and it will be our own fault if the benefits of these op- portunities go to other coast cities. “I was In New York during the hot spell and life was unbearable. I am just de- lighted to get back to San Francisco and breathe our cool ocean breezes. The New York hotels are filled with people from our State and California actors and actresses are the popular idols. The con- ditions of trade in all the Eastern cities I visited was simply astounding and there is every indication of a continued growth.’” MRS. VISHOOT KILLS HERSELF WITH GAS She Had Been a Victim of Nervous Depression for Two Years Past. Mrs. I. Vishoot committed suicide yes- terday at her home, 6 Collingwood street, by asphyxiating herself with illuminating gas. She had been sick and afflicted with nervous depression for the last two years, and had made threats that she would do away with herself. At 7:05 o’clock yesterday morning her husband heard her moving about in the kitchen. He hastened in and found her cleaning some substance out of the sink. He picked up a few grains of it and found that it was rough-on-rats, that had been taken out of a bottle on the top shelf of the cupboard. She denied that she had had any intention of taking the poison, and shertly afterward became cheerful. Believing that there was no further dan- ger that she would attempt to injure her- self, Mr. Vishoot left the house at,10:30 for his place of business, a ladies’ tailor- ing store at 1427 Folk street. at 2:05 o’clock in the afternoon, and found his wife lying unconscious on the bed, with one end of a piece of gas tubing in her mouth and the other end affixed to the gasburner.

Accompanied by her one-year-old girl, a well-dressed young woman yesterday morning approached Mrs. Antoinette Pin- gitore of 28 Vulcan lane and asked her to take care of the child until she paid a visit to a friend. £ “I'll be back in a few -minutes,” she said. “See that nothing happens to the little one until I return.” Mrs. Pingitore took the child after -as- suring the woman that she would take good care of it. After waiting for several hours and as the woman did not return, Mrs. Pingitore consulted the policeman on the beat. He advised her to keep the little girl until he made a thorough search for the mother. Failing to find any trace of the woman, the policeman at 10 o’clock rs. Pingitore to take the abandoned child to police headquar- ters. which she did. After listening to her story Lieutenant Martin ordered the tot turned over to the prison matron. According to one of Mrs. Pingitore's neighbors the name of the mother is Gertie Dussene. She says she recognized her while she was speaking to Mrs. Pingi- tore. An investigation by the police last night failed to find any trace of Mrs. Dus- sene. Unless the mother of the girl calls for her to-day it is the intention of the police to have her sent to some public institu- tion. The abandoned child is poorly clad and gives evidence of having been neglected. EVENTS IN SOCIETY Henry L.
