SAN JOSE, Aug. 15.—A call for a caucus of the delegates elected to the State con- vention has been issued for to-morrow It is not known whether the four Gage del- egat thir! will attend. As it is there are four anti-Gage delegates. A chair- and secretary of the delegation will be elected and questions discussed. It is more than probable that the torial candidates will be taken up, the delegation decide whether it s to vote as a unit or not. The delegates may also decide whether any positions on the State ticket are wanted for San Joseans. There are a number of San Joseans who have their eyes on State offices. These are Judge W. G. Lorigan, who would like a Supreme Judgeship; Paul P. Austin, who may be a candldate for Secretary of State, and Frank J. Brandon, whose friends claim he would not be averse to running for Clerk of the Supreme Court. The Democrats have called their coun- ty convention for Saturd September 20. This is nearly three weeks after the Republican convention, which is called for September 4, and it is rumored that the Democrats will change the date an\‘ bring it closer to that of the Republicans® In both parties there are small armies of candidates for local offices. P SOMETHING ABOUT “BROTEER JONATHAN” How the Term Arose as a Designation for the Then Despised Americans. The legend that Governor Trumbull of Connecticut was the Jonathan from whom came the designation of “Brother Jonathan,” as applied to the American people, has had the run of careless com- mentaries, after-dinner oratory and glo- rifications of the Nutmeg State in partic- ular for about half a century. This was on the strength of a Norwich newspaper's interview in 1846 with an alleged revolu- tionary veteran, who on comparison of dates turns out to have been § years old when, according to his account, Washing- ton remarked, *‘We must consult Brother Jonathan.” This nutmeg is now finally shown to be a manufactured article by Albert Matthews in one of his fine-tooth- and comb winnowings of all the literature bearing on a given moot point. Mr. Matthews' citations prove that “Jonathan” was the original term; that it arose during the revolutionary war, when it was employed as a mildly der sive epithet by the loyalists and applied by them to those who espoused the Amer- jcan cause; that it was for some time avoided by the Americans themselves; that when late In the eighteenth century the Americans took it up they used it to designate a country bumpkin, and that gradually it came into popular vogue on both sides of the Atlantic as an appella- tion of the American people. The English contempt for Puritanism, such as found expression in the term “Barebores Parliament,” applied to the commonwealth Parliament, is discernible in it, and it was evidently used in the same popular acceptation = as _are now “the Macs and _O’s,” meaning Iris er,” meaning the Jews; ‘“Hans,” the Dutch, and So_on. As usual in Dr. Matthews’ unique stud- ies, the footnotes are the richest part of this brochure. Here is one for the 17th of June, showing that even after the Bunker Hill bloodshed there were enough “pro-Boers,” as they would have been called during the struggle, to maintain the British sovereignty over us, to secure tie printing of pro-American articles in English magazines occasionally. > Said “Almon’s Remembrancer” (1775 “But this action has shown the superior- ity of the King’s troops—Has it, indeed?

In general statisticians have to com- plain of the unequal increase in the num- ber of female children as compared with that of males. It is interesting, therefore, to ncte that Berlin, the capital of the military monarchy of Prussia, has always breken the record in this respect, so that Kaiser Wilhelm need not fear that the nks of his leglons will be thinned. Last children were born in Berlin. se 27,077 were boys and 25,168 were girls, showing an increase to the credit of the male population of 1909. Berlin, for some reason or other, seems to have the privilege of turning out more boys into the world than girls, for, taking the num- ters from 1891 to 1900, we find there was an average annual increase in the male progeny of the city during the ten years of 1361 over the female—in other words, cut of every 1000 infants born 513 were boys and 487 girls, The year 1820 was the 1€cord year last century, when 5% boys ‘were born out of 1000 babies.—Londoy, Tel- egraph. = ————— Ugliness of Value in Germany. Germany seems to take the lead in novelties of a charitable nature.

The money was left by a big financier, and he, realizing that beauty is an af traction hard to overcome, made & pro- on in his will that out of the income ¢ the fund not less than $90 shall go with the ugliest girl in any year and the crip- ple shall receive $60. The four women over 40 who have been jilted by a lover receive, when the funds will permit, $:0 each, but the trusteé can vary .this amount and at his discretion offer a arger prize to some one who will marry n unusually ugly & or one to whom nature has been #pacially unkind. guberna- | Many Democrats Vote Push Ticket at Primaries. —_— Iroquois Club Turhs Loose on the Traitors, —_— NE thousand Democrats, all prominent in their party, voted | the Republican ticket at the | primary election on last Tues- day. This was the essence of the report made by Secretary Bienfield of the Iroquois Club’s campaign committee at the meeting of the club last night. The braves were shocked at the report and demanded summary action. “Not only did these Democrats vote the Republican ticket,” sald Bienfleld, “but they worked for it. In the Twenty- eighth District I found one man, who is a delegate to the Democratic State Con- vention, peddling tickets for the Repub- lican candifiates. The ticket these Demo- crats were working for was the ‘push’ ticket. It is to be regretted that the Democratic party has fallen into such straits that such a thing could be pos- sible, but the fact that men of eur party worked for, aided and abetted the ‘push’ | slate brings home to us the condition of cur own party. It is up to us, gentlemen, to take the reins of government out of | the hands of the mismanagers of the party and place ourselves in the position 1o which we are entitled. “I have the names of the Democrats who did the dirty work of the Republican ‘push,” but I cannot give them to you T T e e 2 PRESIDENT HILL PERKING™ FRIEND Reports to the Contrary Anger the Railroad Colossus. Explains Change in Pacific Coast Company’s General Agents. Special Dispatch to The Call. SEATTLE, Aug. 15.—The withdrawal of the San Francisco firm of Goodall, Per- kins & Co. from the service as general agents of the Pacific Coast Steamship Company has been officially announced, to take effect early in September. The severance of relatiens is declared by those in high authority to be altogther voluntary on the part of the San Fran- cisco firm. During the recent visit. of President Hill to Seattle he was shown some of the published reports to the effect that Senator Perkins’' company had been forced out. Mr. Hill expressed great in- dignation. Said he: The report that my enmity toward Senator Perkins resulted in the retirement of his firm | from the service of the Pacific Coast Company | is untrue, unfair and cowardly. I have never owned, directly or indirectly, a share of stock | of the Pacific Coast Company and have had | only a sentimental interest in the property, be- | cause of the connection with it of a number of my friends. I never assume to advise, much less to_control, its policy or direct its affairs. To the best of my knowledge Senator Perkins has never been calied upon, neither has he vol- unteered, to serve any Interest represented by myself or by friends. President J. D. Farrell of the Pacific Coast Company is equally emphatic in contradiction of the published reports. Discussing with some detail the rela- tions of his company with the San Fran- cisco firm, Farrell gaid: The contract under which Goodall, Perkins & Co. have managed the Pacific Coast Steamship Company for many years was subject to nine months' notice for cancellation by efther party, About eight months ago Goodall, Perkins & Co. gave motice of their desire and Intention to terminate the contract. They gave as rea- sons for so doing that Senator Perking was necessarily occupied with his official dutles at Washington, D. C.; that Edwin Goodall's health was not good, and that the private busi- ness of the firm, which embraces coal proper- ties, gold mines, real estate and shipping, had grown to such proportions that it demanded the entire time of all the members of the firm. The resignation was accepted With regrets and, as evidence of the regard in which the firm was and is held, I will state that Captain C. M. Goodall, its junior member, was tendered the general management and Edwin Goodall the vice presidency of the Pacific Coast Steam- ship Company, the latter to act in an advisory capacity. Both, however, declined. The offices at 10 Market street in San Fran- cisco, 8o long occupled by the firm, have been rented by the Pacitic Coast Steamehip Com- pany. A suitable man will be instalied about Beptember 15 to manage the company’s affairs and no material change will be made In the policy, organization or employes of the com- pany.’ The headquarters will not be moved to Seaitle, as has been reported, but will be per- petually maintained in San Francisco. The Pacific Coast Steamshin Company, un- der the management of Goodall, Perkins & Co., has been with the exception of a few years during the panic reasonably prosperous and satisfactory dividends have been earned. It is ridiculous to credit Increased earnings to Mr. Hill or any one else, as they accrued under the same management as has prevailed in the past byt during more prosperous years. It is equally“idiculous to charge Mr. Hill with hav- ing brought about the change of managers. Effects of Artillery. It has long been a comrmonplace that effects of artillery are mainly “‘moral,” but for all that the introduction of new explosives—lyddite, especially— and of quicker-firing guns had insensibly revived the belief in the great material value of artillery. It would be gratuitous to say that artillery has had a great downfall in general estimation—among those who have always taken a sane view of its uses we do not think it has—but we may fairly say that relatively to artillery the rifle has gained in reputation. We know now that lyddite, although it may make short work of a Mahdi’s tomb, is of little use against earthworks, especial- L to-night, for the reason that the cam- paign committee must first pass on the matter. When I say we have the names of a thousand men who voted the Repub- lican ticket I am confining myself to the men who have been heretofore prominent in the party. A thousand men is only a slight number of the people who stood in with the Republican bosses. The work that was done in the recent primaries is the most disgraceful proposition that has ever been presented to the:long suffering public of San Francisco. Iam not at lib- erty to disclose the names we have, but you will get the list after the campaign committee has passed on it. You will be dumfounded to read the names of those who have proved traitors to the Demo- cratic party.”- 5 D. Gilbert Dexter arose and presented the following resolution, which, after be- ing referred to the proper committee, was unanimously adopted: ¢ Whereas, The political conditions of the State of California have become almost intolerable, corruption and_intrigue being seemingly ram- pant through the domination of boss and cor- poration rule; therefore be it Resolved by the Iroquois Club of San Fran- cisco, That we condemn the recent disgraceful proceedings enacted at the primary election, and urge ail citizens who desire a change from corrupt practices to clean and respectable po- litical methods to support men for office who are free from the taint of boss and corporate influence. Resolved, That we urge upon the attention of the coming Democratic State Conventlon the neceesity of selecting men for office above sus- picion, who will -prove capable, honest and fearless In the discharge of official duty—men who are tried and true. “The work that was done .in the pri- mary election,” sald Bienfield after the meeting, “was the rawest I have ever heard of. We had no fight in our party and therefore these men felt that they could vote for whom they pleased. Well, we will take care of those gentlemen in the future when they come up for politi- cal honors. There has been talk of boodle having been distributed. - The three morning papers have made the charge and it is fair to presume that they know what they are talking about. It 18 too bad that men of our party should interfere with a Republican election, and there is no doubt that the interference changed the result. We cannot help that matter now, but we can take care of these men in the future. We have the in- dubitable evidence against the Demo- crats, and when the campaign committee passes on the list we will give the names to_the newspapers.” Messrs. Bienfleld, Butts and Lally were appointed a committee on entertainment to prepare a programme 'two . weeks hence. ly when it falls on very soft ground, and that the stories of men whose senses left them and -whose teeth shook in °their heads because they happened to be within a quarter of a mile of an explosion of lyddite were mere moonshine,—Spectator. Mutilated Paper Meoney. - It is estimated that 1 per cent of all'the paper money issued by the Government is "either lost or destroyed, this being 80 much clear profit to Uncle Sam. Some of the ways in which cash suffers de- struction are astonishing, and several ex- perts are continually engaged In trying to identify mutilated bills which _have been sent into the Treasury for redemip- tion. The festlve goat and sportive cow appear to devour considerable sums in the course of a year, and partly digested lumps of a substance hardly recognizable as money are forwarded to Washington by hopeful losers.. Mice get away with many a secret hoard, converting it into nests; and drunken men in enthusiastic moments light cigars with $ and $10 notes. Many a buried “wad” of bills rots un- der cellar floors, being thus reduced to an unrecognizable conditions, while the parlor stove, serving as a bank during the summer -months, is counted on to yield a large crop of partly burned notes every autumn. Sometimes pill boxes con- taining nothing but ashes, necessarily valueless, have been presented by claim- ants. Though such cases are hopeless, yet the feats accomplished in the identi- fication of incinerated paper cash are fre- quently amazing, a few charred scraps yielding sufficient evidence to secure the repayment of considerable sums to ‘the {%rt\;xd'mte applicants.—Christian Endeavor orld. ———— Worth Remembering.

The Republican County Convention will meet to-morrow in Germania Hall and will place before the voters of this county the choice of the primaries held on Tues- day last. There is practically no contest before the convention and the gathering will be only a ratification of the prefer- ‘ence the voters expressed at the polls. There was one slight fight in prospect, but that only lasted for a day or two and has now been settled. This was the con- test for the patronage of the Public Ad- ministrator’s office, and while it was very short it was very lively. FIGHT LOOKED BAD. For a short time it looked as if the squabble over the law. business of that office would disrupt the fight for Governor of the State. But that danger is now over | FORCE OF HABI ~STAONG 1N BACE Governor Brings Fifth Libel Suit Against The_ Call Corrects Illegal Procedure in Filing of Three For- mer Complaints. Spectal Dispatch to The Call. LOS ANGELES, Aug. 15.—Governor Gage went to San Pedro this morning and filed another complaint—the fifth—against John D. Spreckels, proprietor, and W. S. Leake, manager, of The Call, charging them: with criminal libel. The complaint alleges that The Call of August 11 con- tained a libelous publication, of which the following is a part, and which the com- plainant declares is untrue: e Call has presented its proof. The proof m'glmed by The Call that Governor Gage is a Teceiver of stolen goods and that his chum and appointee, Warden M. G. Agulrre, is at the head of a band of larcenists and felons engaged in filching money from the public treasury is based on convincing documentary evidence that forms part of the sacred archives of the State of California. ‘While in San Pedro Governor Gage also filed three additional complaints, copies of which he filled In Los Angeles on the 1ith inst.,, through . Justice Downing, Wwho came ‘to this city for that purpose. The second filing was made as a matter of precaution for fear some question might be raised as to the legality of the former action. Sheriff Hammel of Los Angeles County hes not yet decided whether to serve the warrant of arrest in person or to send a deputy to San Francisco. The Sheriff is engaged in a fight for renomination at the hands of the county _conyention, which will meet here on Tuesday, and he may decide to remain to look after his own inferests. Automobile Riding Is Healthy. The medical journals declare that to ride in an automobile at full speéd is an excellent tonic. It ‘“‘sends rushes of pure! air through the nostrils into the lungs, while the beating of the same pure air against the face has the effect of hard- ening the muscles and of quickening ths circulation.” This is what any brisk movement in the open air will do, espe- cially if the wind is blowing. Could not the effect be produced by a reservoir of compressed air connected with a six-inch pipe? The passenger could sit in a chair on the porch and let the breeze be turned on him at the same velocity that he would be carried against the alr in an automo- bile. He could wear his leather coat and goggles and have all the benefits of a rapid ride without the danger of running over pedestrians. A steering wheel couid be furnished to complete the resemblance. | From time to time water could be allowed to trickle into the pipe and a driving rain be produced. Or salt water could be used and the effect of sailing In a stiff breeze be given. The plan is worth considering. It is not patented.—Hartford Times. st e The Careful Woman. ‘Women say that it's all very well to make sweeping statements about indi- vidual dressing, but that it is impossible for a woman to get it or to have it, when she doesn’t know how. That is a_gift, like a voice. So it is. But the gift itself would never amount to anything unless the possessor of it studied hard to perfect it. Did you ever see a woman with a repu- tation for good dressing who bought clothes carelessly and in a hurry, and who wore clothes indiscriminately without giv- ing thought? 1f you have, rest assured you have seen rare exceptions. And like an expert in anythinf, you could never know this from her talk. She rarelx talks clothes when in soclety. That is usually done by the woman who doesn't know how to dress. But there are hours and hours that women give to their clothes between thel Ashop and the dressmaker, Pt S e e e T ) and. the ‘State at large need not wos over who shall be named the Republican nominee for Public Administrator of this | county to-morrow. ] This trouble went back to the agreement that was made between different candi- dates as to nominations. Eden Township was awarded the Public Administrator- ship and it was expected that B. C. Hawes would be able to return his delegation from that section. But suddenly Mr. Hawes found a con'est on his hands and George Gray of Haywards announced himself as a candidate. Hawes could not carry his section and Gray brought the delegation in. Suddenly Gray found that, while he had his delegation, an effort was to be made to rob him of his victory in the interests of the law work that comes from that office. Henry Streeter was sud- denly thrown into the fight and announced himself as a candidate and for a while it looked as if Streeter might win. GRAY’S MEN WIN OUT. The- friends of Gray then began to do politics. Asa V. Mendenhall was thrown into the fight and the Gray men threat- ened to beat Streeter with Mendenhall Mendenhall, who is a popular member of the younger portion of the party, loomed up very big for a while and seemed to be the compromise candidate. But to-day the Gray men served notice upon Dr. George C. Pardee that if Gray was not nominated for ~ Public Adminstrator twenty of his delegates from Gray's sec- tion would bolt him for Governor. That settled the question and it is now an- nounced that Gray will be nominated for Public Administrator and this fight need not interfere with the affairs of the State. It is probable that Dr. C. L. Tisdale of Alameda will be the chairman of the con- vention to-morrow and that there will be little done except to nominate the ticket that was practically agreed upon at the polls on Tuesday. Foraker Not to Be a Candidate. TOLEDO, Ohio, Aug. 15.—A correspond- ent asked Senator Foraker to-night re- garding the story recently sent out from Washington to the effect that he was to be the Republican candidate for the Vice Presidency with President Roosevelt in 1904, The Senator replied that thers was nothing in the rumor so far as he is con- cerned.

USE OF ELECTRICITY IN DEEP MINING Water Power Converted Into Energy and Transmitted Long Distances. The three-phase alternating current sys- tem coristiutes one of the greatest achieve- ments in modern mining engineering. The energy of an inaccessible water power converted into electrical energy by water- wheel-driven generators and delivered to the transmission line at high voltage may be transmitted economically through dis- tances as great as 75 miles, and even far- ther under favorable commercial condi- tions. At the substation, located near the mines, the line voltage is reduced by means of step-down transformers to a comparatively low figure, at which the current is distributed to the various in- duction motors about the mines. If power be required for locomotive haulage the al- ternating current may be transformed into direct current by a rotary converter which feeds into the trolley circuits in the usual way. It is this possibility of ready transmis- sion of. comparatively cheap water power from a-dstance to the base of actual min- ing work and the consequent independ- ence from coal, which is generally enor- mously expensive at mountainous mine locations, more or less inaccessible with the usual means of transgarmllon. that have helped largely to make electricity a valuable ally to the miner. Sometimes, too, coal may be obtained at reasonable figures down in.the valley, or twenty or thirty miles away at some favorably lo- cated spot, while at the working point, up the mountain side, its cost would be ruin- ous to profitable working. In that case it would be the relatively cheap coal power instead of water power that would be transmitted electrically. Or, even with cheap coal exactly at the spot, there might be scarce water supply.for steam raising, and here again the electri- cal conversion and transmission of power at some more suitably located generating point would solve the power problem. In these several respects mining in the moun- tainous western parts of the United States has furnished many striking examples more, in fact, than any other part of the world—of electric power benefits. Electric drilling, hoisting and hauling; electric driving, indeed, of all the moving machin- ery employed has in those mines been a matter of vital necessity. It is the one thing that has made it possible to carry on the several enterprises at a profit.— Cassel’s Magazine. Official Canvass Does NotChange Los An- geles Result Humiliating Weak- ness of Gage in His Home County. & Spectal Dispatch to The Call. OS ANGELES, Aug. 15.—A can- vass of election returns made to-day by the Election Com- missioners showed no change in the result as announced at the close of Tuesday’s prima- ries, which, in combination with the action of the various Assembly district conventions yesterday, gives Gage 53 and anti-Gage 43 of the delegates from Los Angeles County.

Sunstroke Insurance proper his life When the summer’s heat gets about 90 de- grees, you are liable to be sunstruck any time you are out in the sun, unless you take precautions. Several years ago, the writer of this, who has spent much of in the tropics, thought he was safe from sunstroke. One day he collapsed, remained unconscious for five hours, and at times his life was despaired of. Asa matter of fact, any.person whose stomach and bowels are in bad shape in the sum- mer time, is liable to be sunstruck in tem- erature that would be harm- ess under normal conditions. That’s all there is to it. Stom- ach and bowels full of fester- ing, fermenting refuse that forms acids and gases, raise the heat of the body and blood many degrees. Scientists have found that natives of the South Sea Islands, living on laxative fruit, bananas, cocoanuts, bread-fruit, have a temperature 20 degrees lower than that of white men who are careless about their food or their bowels. It has been found in years of experience, that a CASCARET Candy Cathartic taken at bed-time every night will keep the body cleanand cool inside all day, and forms a safe and thoroughly reliable form of sunstroke insurance.
