Two Hundred Members at| Table and Noted Men Send Congratulations. The owl blinked merrily at the Bo- | hemian Club last night, for the eighty- fifth birthday of the best-beloved of Bo- hemians was being celebrated. Uncle George Bromley was the guest of honor and the entire ciub was host at a dinner that for good feilowship and delighttul ficw of wit has not been excelied since | the last similar occasion, when *Uncle George” was banqueted in homor of lus eigthieth birthday. e ‘the dinner was held in the jinksroom and more than 20 were at table, inciua-| g the best known clubmen, literatti, ! artists and sculptors of the city. The roum was decorated with fruit blossoms ana greenery woven into a bamboo scroll- work and Japanese lanterns. Back of the seat of the guest of honor stood an oil painting of the veteran Bohemian, and above it in electric lights was the legend, “Uncle George, 1817—1%02.” Frank P. Deering, president of the club, presided. During an _introductory speech in happy vein he took occasion to | Tead numerous letters and telegrams from distinguished men in various parts | of the country, extending congratulations to Uncle George and expressing regret at inability to be present at the dinner. Among those whose kindly sentiments were read are Daniel C. Gilman, late| | president of Johns Hopkins University and the new head of -the Carnegie Institu- | tion; Frederick Remington; Kemble, the ccmic artist; Minister Wu; A. C. Gunter; Clay Greene; Broadhurst, the dramatist; Wilton Lackaye, and Willie Collier. Rem~ ington and Kemble both sent original Grawings to “Uncle George.” The response was in “Uncle George's” most felicitous vein. A period of informal speeches, songs and recitations followed. Dr. J. F. Smith and Otto Wedemeyer sang solos. Dr. Shiels gave a recitation. man sang a little song, the words of vhich were written for the occasion by | Charles K. Field. Story-telling and music furnished enter- tainment until well on toward midnight. LEATHER WORKERS WANT | AN INCREASE IN WAGES | They Make a Demand for a Nine- { 8 [ Hour Day Without Decrease | in Pay. | About 150 men employed in the harness making shops of this city went out on strike yesterday afternoon when they ended the work for the day. The shops | affected are those of J. C. Johnson & Co., Main & Winchester, L. D. Stone, W. Da- | vis & Scn and A. A. Van Voorhies of Sac- ramento. All these firms, which control practical- {1y the harness making industry of the coast, have united in a resistance to the demands of the striking workers. The | demand of the leather workers is for a nine-hour work day at the same rate of | wages as at present obtains. Practically this amounts to an increase of 10 per cent in wages. The proprietors of the va- rious places are united in opposition to this move. They claim that in view of Eastern competition and convict-made goods they cannot compete with the pres- ent low rates obtaining in this city. | The men claim that the piece work sys- tem, now in vogue, prevents them from earning a livelihood. The demands of the | leather-workers have been rejected by the members of the Wholesale Saddlers’ Asso- | ciation of the Pacific Coast, which is prac. { tically comprised of the firms named and | others located in Portland and Seattle. —_——— WOULD TAX SALOONS TO MAINTAIN POLICE | Bay View Residents Ask Supervisors to Preserve Dollar Limit by Grading Liquor Licenses. The University Mound and Bay View | Improvement Club at 2 meeting held last | Thursday night adopted the following resolutions: Whereas, All the departments of the mu- picipality are asking (no doubt justly) for an increased appropriation of funds to carry on | the business of their several offices during | the fiscal year of 1902 and 1303; and whereas, | the need of a new County Hospital and many new schoolhouses is an immediate one: and | whereas, two of the political parties having representatives in power have by their party | platforms pledged themselves to the dollar | limit and to set aside 10 cents of each dollar raised by taxation for a permanent improve- ment fund: and whereas, it is apparent that it would hamper the affairs of the municipality by their living up to this pledge. Therefore it Resolved, That we ask the Board of Super- | visors to so grade the liquor licenses that the | money derived from these licenses would be & sufficient amount to defray the total ex- penses of maintaining the Poiice Department, THE_UNIVERSITY _MOU AND BAY VIEW IMPROVEMENT CLUB.

The doings of the Spinners are always interesting, for they are known to be really clever people, who meet in a strangely pictur- esque clubhouse, which was formerly an aristocratic barn on the premises of C. P. Robinson. When callers arrived yes- terday they found at intervals along the intricate’ windings and byways various’ pesters in ye old English and rhyme which gave definite directions for finding the clubrooms, The members of the literary section acted as hostesses of the occasion and the guests were received by Mrs. Wilson, Miss Ida Robinson, Mrs. Fowler, Mrs. Day and Miss Bell. The rooms, besides being made attractive with books, pic- tures and other work of the members, were prettily decorated with foliage. Many of the guests were entertained out of doors, where everything was perfectly arranged for their comfort. Delicious re- freshments were served during the after- noon. The assemblage was composed both of charming soclety women and those prominent in the world of art and letters. The afternoon was pleasantly spent.

Rathbone’'s Attorney Com- plains That Papers Were Withheld. HAVANA, April 12.—Charles W. Neely, Estes Rathbone and W. H. Reeves have all appealed from the verdict of the Au- diencia Court by which they were found guilty of misappropriation of Cuban pos- tal funds and were sentenced to ten years’ imprisonment each and to pay fines ag- gregating $127,541. Neely and Reeves ap- pealed within five days after sentence and Senor Lanuza, Rathbone’s counsel, pre- sented his appeal last night. Senor Lanuza bases his appeal upon a large number of occurrences, which he claims entitle his client to a rehearing of the case. He says that Rathbone's attor- neys were mot ailowed to examine certain documents in the Postoffice Department which dealt with matters pertinent to the case and that, consequently, they could not present a great deal of documental evidence in defense of their client. He says that Lawshe, the most impor- tant witness for the defense, was not brought to Cuba, though this might have been done, and that documentary evidence presented by Rathbone was not translat- ed. Senor Lanuza advances a number of other reasons for granting the appeal. L e e o Sophia Plerce, Mrs. L.
