The sentence of six months’ imprison- ment imposed upon two Mission hoodlums by Judge Conlan on Tuesday for tearing down a picture of the martyred President did not have the effect of stopping simi- lar acts of vandalism. Shortly after midnight Thursday Police- man William Casey saw two drunken hoodlums tearing down the mourning drapery and flags on the front of O’'Con- nell’s grocery, at the corner of Twenty- fourth and Hampshire streets. On the ap- proach of the officer they fled. He pur- sued them and fired a shot into the air. | The hoodlums escaped for the time being, | dent from but after a half-hour’s search’ Casey found them on Twenty-third street a arrested them for malicious mischief. Their names are Charles McLaughlin and Joseph Kenny. When they appeared be- fore Judge Conlan vesterday they pleaded guilty and were ordered to appear for sen- ten: this morning. Sydn Bennett, the young Australian, who was arrested Thursday morning for tearing down a_picture of the late Presi- in front of the residence of Julius, at 13 Polk, street, was by Judge Fritz yesterd. on Mrs. Amy convicted | the charge of malicious mischief and was sentenced to_six months' imprisonment in the County Jalil. — Best Time of Year to Go East.

Ways and Means—Ludwig Warn] George h ALAOAD MEN P COMBINE Consolidation of the Van- derbilt System Pro- gresging. g NEW YORK, Sept. 20.—The Journal of Commerce says: It has been learned from an authoritative source that plans for the practical consolidation and direction of the entire Vanderbilt system of railroads are in course of preparation. These plans include the formation of a new parent company. It will be entirely a financial company and will be the holder of stock | of the subsidiary companies. No name ! has yet been secured for the proposed parent company, but the “New York Cen- tral Company” seems to be that most generally favored. Willlam K. Vanderbilt has given con- siderable study to the practical consolida- tion of the lines proposed and at his sug- gestion Edward V. Rossiter, treasurer of the New York Central, and H. Mac- Twombl, director, whose opinion I particularly valuable to Vanderbilt, have been for some, time at work on a skeleton plan. When this has received Vanderbiit's approval it will be then worked out in greater detal and placed formally before the board of directors. It is evident, therefore, that the plan of control can in no measure be account- ed as an accomplished fact, but the in- formation given is important as indicat- ing the general drift in the coming com- munity of interest plan in railroad op- erating. The formation of a new security holding company is not, of course, a novel situation in the railroad world. It will be on the same general plan as that of the Pennsylvania Company, which was char- tered by the Legislature of Pennsylvania April 8 1870, for the purchase and man- aging the interests of Penpsylvania com- panies and the rallroads leased and con- trolled by that company west of Pittsburg. The stock of the Pennsylvania company is owned by the Pennsylvania Railroad. It has been suggested by a financial au- thority, whose position gives his views particular weight, that the ultimate end of the community of interest plan would undoubtedly be the establishment of sep- arate financial companies controlled by ownership of securities of each of the great groups of railroads. To-Day’s News Letter. This week’s News Letter is an unusual- ly handsome number. It contains as a frontispiece a splendid portrait of the late President McKinley, with beaufiful son- nets to his memory by Wallace Irwin. The editorials keep up their fearless tone and deal with hve questions in a masterly manner, and the Town Crier fairly bris- tles with satire. Lady Algy. in “Bubbles From the Swim,” relates much interest- ing gossip about the smart set, while Mrs, Chauncey de Wit devotes a good deal of her space to widows who take the second matrimonial plunge. The Looker On de- partment is even better than usual and contains interesting anecdotes of our late President. Robert McTavish has a string of very amusing advice to young wives. Hufman, Oakland; J.

The committee on resolutions had many sug- gestions to offer, all of which were acted upon in order. When the association had finished with the committee’s report the following became a part of the law of the organization: That when an affiliated association or an individual member of the California Retail Grocers' and Merchants’ Association shall re- port to the State secretary thereof that any Wholesaler, jobber or.. manufacturer Insists upon selllng to consumérs after being remon- strated with the secretary of the California Retail Grocers' and Merchants' Association shall investigate the matter and if the whole- saler or manufacturer still insists upon sell- ing to consumers, the secretary shall inform all affiliated associations and individual mem- bers of the fact. Be it further Resolved, That no member of the California Retail Grocers' and Merchanfs’ Assoclation shall buy goods of any wholesaler, jobber or manufacturer who sells to consumers. All trading stamp and other schemes | were heartily denounced as contrary to the best interests of the trade. The ac- tion of the department stores and cata- logue houses in seeking to secure the pas- sage of a parcels post law was also de- nounced. There was much discussion over the sale of goods by wholesalers at and. - (OUTH TEAGHES {PPER LESSON Stowaway on the Had- don Hall Proves to Be a Wonder. —_— Captain Owen Pritchard of the British bark Haddon Hall has always confessed to a liking for American enterprise. Since last in this port he has acquired a whole- some respect for Yoting America, particu- larly the California product. He was taught the lesson by a stowaway. It was in the shipping office in Liver- pool. Captain Pritchard was engaging a crew for the voyage recently ended at this port. A bright, intelligent looking young fellow approached him. In spite of his shabby clothes and hungry appear- ance he made a good impression on the skipper. There was a thoroughbred air about him and he looked every inch a sailor. “Cap, I belong in Frisco. I want té go home., Can I ship with you?" said the youngster to the skipper. Captain Pritchard explained that he could ship sailors for the round voyage only. “I'm up against it, cap. Busted, hun- gry, no job and not a friend this side of the Golden Gate. What would you advise me to do?” ‘“Well, my boy, if I were in your fix I'd stow away on some ship bound for San Francisco and trust to tuck.” - Young America said * disappeared. Four days after the Haddon Hall had left the Mersey the mate walked Into the cabin. “‘Just found a stowaway in the fore hold, sir.” 'hank you" and It wag Young America, or, as he is en- tered the ship’s log, C. R. Wiley of Woodland, Cal. He was hungrier and more disreputable iooking than ever. His clothes were in rags and in every other respect he looked a thorough dereiict. “I gave him a lecture, then sent him forward to be fed, cleaned and more de- cently clothed. The mate put him to work and he gave splendid satisfaction. I don’t know what we would have done without him around the Horn.” But he was a won- ler. “He came aboard without money and without clothes. When he bade me good- by in San Francisco he had a better out- fit of clothes than I had, and, although I couldn’t and didn’t pay him a cent, he had $35 in his pocket. “I investigated the matter and found that he had been doing odd jobs for all hands frym the mate down ‘and taking his pay in pants, shirts, stockings, shoes and other wearing apparel. Then he in- itiated the men in the forecastle into the mysterles of poker. In addition to the money in his pocket he fiad orders on the pay of nearly every man aboard. ‘"He was a wonderful youngster. . I hope he'll get on.” Justice Smith Visits Judge Hunt. General James F. Smith, associate Jus- tice of the Supreme Court of Manila, vis- | ited the City Hall yesterday and reviewed the scene of his early triumphs as a dis- ciple of Blackstone. He sat with Judge Hunt during the entire afternoon, P resolutions of disfavor to any such action. On a resolution introduced by the ways and means committee commercial travel- ers were held eligible to honorary mem- bershin. s A resolution was passed that all grocers doing a retail business be taken off the Jobbers’ list. ‘Will Organize Collection Bureaus. The deadbeats committee drafted the following resolutions, which were passed: Resolved, That each town in California be advised to organize a collection bureau along the lines suggested in the paper of J. M. Sullivan, secretary of the Retail Grocers' As- sociation of Sen Francisco. Resolved, That each assoclation ~affiliated with the California_Retail Grocers' and Mer- chants’ Association be advised as to the stand- ing of individuals on request of the secretary of another association on the same terms as for the members of their own association. Resolved, That appeal be made to the rail- road companies and all corporations employ- ing large bodies of men who make it a prac- tice of not meeting their obligations that the said employes be made to give satisfactory reasons for not doing so'and if they cannot give such reasons that the employers be re- quested to take such means as to enforce such payment. The legislation committee introduced measures for the security of good food and for the prevention of dishonest ad- vertisement. The following resolutions deploring the assassination of President McKinley were adopted by a rising vote: Resolved, That the California Retail Grocers' | and Merchants' Association deplores the un- timely death of our beloved President William McKinley and extends its condolence to his bereaved widow. Be it further Resolved, That the nation’s loss is due to the unbridled license allowed to anarchistic utter- ances which We deplore, and a changs in which condition we earnestly recommend. An election of officers was held, the fol- lowing being the new board: ' President, Joseph A. Stulz; . Morris, F. B. Cook, P. A. Buckley; secre: tary, D. Warnke; treasurer, D. F. directors—S. J. Sill, F. Eiben, E. McCoy, H. D. Cushing, Taylor Alborn, R. C. Hea- ton and W. G. Gaylesworth. The delegates to the convention met at the banquet board in the evening, and be- tween courses listened to short addresses on timely topics. AMUSEMENTS. COLUMB! MATINEE TO-DAY.

FLORENCE ROBERTS' FAREWELL WEEK, ADVERTISEMENTS. e Gt A NOTED PHYSICIAN, Doctor Waha.ta,, of Lansing, Mich., Says There is Nothing in the Materia Medica that Equals Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com- pound for the Cure of Woman's Ills, “DeAR Mrs. Prnxmay: — The honest, intelligent physician is above the ‘School” Whatever is best in each case should be used, no matter to what school a physician belongs. I, as'a matter of conscience, can only prescribe the best, and as I know and have proven that there is nothing in Materia Medica which equals Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vege- table Compound in severe cases of female disorders, I unhesitatingly prescribe it, and have never yet been sorry. “I know of nothing better for ovarian troubles and for falling of the womb or ulcerations; it absolutely restores the affected parts to their normal condition quicker and better than :\nythinf else. I have known it to cure barrenness in women, who to-day are happy mothers of children,and while the medical profession looks down upon *patents, I have learned, instead, to look-up to the healing potion, by whatever name it be known. If my fellow physicians dared tell the truth, hundreds of them would voice my sentimenis.” — DR. WaNaTA, Lansing, Mich. '/ = . DR. WANATA. As Dr. Wanata says, if physicians dared to be frank and ope:, hun. dreds of them would acknowledge that they constantly prescribe Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound in severe cases of female ills, as they know by experience that it can be relied upon to effect a cure. Women who are troubled. with painful or irregular menstruation, backache, bloating (or flatulence), leucorrheea, falling, inflammation or ulceration of the uterus, ovarian troubles, that “ bearing-down ” feeling, dizziness, faintness, indigestiorn, nervous prostration or the blues should take immediate action to ward off the serious consequences, and be restored to perfect health and strength by taking Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound, and then write to Mrs. Pinkham, Lynn.' Mass. for further free advice. No living person has had such a vast and successful experience in.treating female ills. She has guided thcusands to health. Every suffering woman should ask for and follow her advice, Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound has carried hundreds of women through the periods of child bearing and change of life in perfect comfort and safety. A medicine that has restored so many women to health and ean produce proof of the fact must be regarded with respect, This isthe record of Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound, which cannot be equalled by any other medicine the world has ever produced. - It is well to remember these facts whén some druggist tries to get you to buy something which he says is *‘just as good.” That is impossible. as no othcr medicine has such a record of cures as Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vege- table Compound ; so do not experiment with untried medicines. 35000 AMUSEMENTS. RESRTAR MATINEE TO-DAY AT 2. TO-NIGHT AND SUNDAY—LAST TIMES, FLORENCE ROBERTS.
