Other articles were used »nally by the emancipator. In the center of the collection is & bronze bust of Lincoln; the work of W. S. Wood, Commissioner of Public Build- ings in Washington, D. C.

L e e el MARIN COUNTY HAS GANDIDATE Ex-Sheriff Henry Harri- son After Folsom ~ Wardenship. . t bt Interest in State politics at present | centers in the question as to who will be the next Warden of Folsom penitentiary. It is conceded that Warden Wilkinson has practically reached the limit of his tenure in office, The Prison Directors will meet to-day to begin an investigation into the escape of thirteen prisoners a few weeks ago, and it is a foregone conclusion that their inquiry will result if the resigna- tion of the present Warden. The name most prominently mentioned in connection with the expected appoint- ment is that of Henry Harrison, ex- sheriff of Marin County. Those in touch with the sentiments of the Prison Di- rectors claim that his success is assured and confidently predict that before De- cember 1 he will be occupying the posi- tion. The logic of political reasoning points strongly to a confirmation of these predic- tions. In the first place, he is a Demo- crat and as such will be acceptable to a majority of the Board of Prison Directors. It is an unwritten law that one of the Wardens of the State penitentiaries shall be a Republican and the other a Demo- crat. The appointment of Warden Tomp- kins to San Quentin precludes the selec- | . tion of one of similar political faith for the Folsom position. Three of the pres- ent board of directors—James H. Wilkins, R. M. Fitzgerald and Don Ray—are Dem- | ocrats, and all are sald to be friendly to Harrison’s appointment. Director Wilkins is a strong friend and supporter of the Marin County ex-sheriff, He has been behind him in every political fight Harrison has made, and to him is attributed the election of Harrison to the office of Sheriff. Fitzgerald was sponsor for Wilkinson, the present Warden, and Wilkins voted with his fellow director. As a matter of reciprocity, Fitzgerald is now supporting Harrison, and Don Ray is also said t@ be favorably inclined toward the massive man from Marin County. It is generally conceded that Harrison would make an ideal man for thé place. As Sheriff of Marin Counly e made an exceptionally able officlal gained a large knowledge of what is necessary in the handling of desperate criminals. He is conceded to be courageous, cool and of excellent judgment, and has a splendid e | SIT BEHIND Officers pressive. Mrs. M.

Aoriy ’ icap, i a SESSION HEADQUARTERS ARE CLOSED Commanderin Chief Thanks Guard of Honor. HE temporary headquarters of national officers of the Grand Army of the Republic in the maple room of the Palace Hotel : were closed yesterday afternoon with a bit of pleasant ceremony, which few connected with that department had anticipated. A few minutes before § o'clock General Black, the new com- mander in chief of the organization, who had been engaged in consultation with the newly appointed members of his staff, suddenly rose from his seat at a table and, turning to his associates, remarked: “Gentlemen, the labors of the Thirty- seventh Annual Encampment having prac- tically closed with the adjournment of to- day’s meeting of delegates, it would prob- ably be the proper thing to regard these quarters as also closed. Before taking our departure, however, I would like the privilege of saying a few words to our comrades who have acted as a guard at headquarters during the week, which is | rapldly drawing to a close,” and, acting on his own suggestion, General Black pro- ceeded to the outer room, where the guard, in response to the order of its offi- cer of the day, “fell in” and stood at at- tention. As General Black approached, arms were brought to a “present,” as is the military custom, but by a signal of his hand the commander in chief waived formalities and, turning to' the proud old soldiers, addressed a few remarks to them, thanking them for their courtesy, recalling their past loyalty to the country and wishing them long life and good cheer. Nor did he stop there. Stepping up to the line, he passed along it, shak- ing each veteran by the hand and recetv- ing with an air of comradeship thelr sin- cerely expressed friendship. After the adjournment of the convention yesterday General Black made public the appointment of the principal officers of his staff, who will be as follows: Adjutant General—C, A. Partridge of Tllinois. Quartermaster General—Charles Bur- rows of New Jersey, reappointed. Judge Advocate General—James Tanner of New York. Inspector General—Colonel E. B. Messer of lowa.. The new council of administration held its first meeting immediately after the ad- Journment of the convention and fixed the bonds and salaries of the new adjutant general and the quartermaster general. ‘The salary of the former was fixed at $1200 per annum and that of the quarter- master general at $500. The council au- thorized the printing and distribution of 6000 copies of the proceedings. It also authorized the selection of an executive committee, to be composed of the com- mander in chlef, adjutant general, quar- termaster general and seven members of the council of administration, the latter to be named by the commander in chief. General Black stated that he would name these members in general orders 1 and 2, to be issued later. It Is his inten- tion to remain in California until about September 5, during which time he will be the Buest of his sister, who resides across the bay. Adjutant General Part- ridge expects to go to Los Angeles to- night for a visit, and will return here in time to confer with General Black regard- ing the issuance of the first orders of the new administration. Ex-Commander in Chief Stewart and the former members of his staff will leave in their special car for the East on Sun- day, traveling as part of the special train of the Pennsylvania contingent. —_————— TWO TANNERIES RUINED BY EARLY MORNING FIRE Flames Gain Great Headway and Ef- forts of Firemen to Save Build- ings Prove Futile.

It was a bigger crowd than the company had expected, and certainly more than the people of Oakland had looked for. To-day the veterans and their friends | are invited to San Jose, where elaborate | arrangements have been made for their reception. The people of the pretty little city have done a great deal of booming for the event, and the railroad company has made extra preparations for traffic, for it is expected that an unusually large crowd will make the trip. Notwithstanding that thousands of the veterans absented themselves from the | city yesterday, a goodly number remained behind and continued to give the city a convention appearance by their presence | on the streets and about the hotels. The | different California headquarters contin- ved to keep open house, and the Eastern visitors repeated the pleasant experiences of the previous days of the week in mak- ing a call and enjoying the California hospitality extended to them. At the headquarters of the Sacramento Valley Veterans' Brigade, in the Lick House, there was a constant throng of visitors | throughout the day. They called empty- | handed and left with a box of choice feuit | and a small bottle of native wine, a gift| that all visitors have received and appre- | clated. The fact that the encampment is practically over did not in any way di- minish the hospitality of the Sacramento Valley representatives yesterday. If any- thing they were even more generous, go- ing even so far as to send large boxes of selected fruit and wine around to the va- rious headquarters of the numerous East. ern delegations, accompanied with the suggestion that the julcy product of the State would be forthcoming as long the visitors signified thelr willingness to consume it. As an inducement for out- siders to enter the headquarters and par- take of the fruit and wine the Sacramen- to Valley people had a band stationed at the entrance of the Lick House during the afternoon playing almost continu- ously. 'The Fresno delegation entertained in a simflar manner at its headquarters in Pioneer Hall. g 2 ATTENDANCE GRATIFYING. nncmbmant Proves a Big Attraction The Catholic Club, an formed for the purpose of “encouraging the growth of the Catholic movement in the Protestant Episcopal chureh of the United States of America,” was incor- porated yesterday. The directors are J. H. Robertson, Edward Mills Adams, S. W. Pease and George W. Reed of this city and Newton Barry of Oakland. The directors are all of the Protestant Epis- copal faith, but they desire a reorganiza- tion of the chufch. They are members of what is known as the “Catholio party” in the church and belfeve in many of the doctrines of the primitive Catholic church. Many of the practices and teach- ings of the Roman Catholic church are involved, but the claim is made that the latter church adopted some.innovations, which the reformers will not accept. As yet the membership in this city is small, though the movement has been prevalent throughout the country for the last few years. Nome of the ministry is included, but several will probably come in later. No positive plan of action has been decided upon, but this matter will be brought up later and discussed. Epis- copalians will be invited to meet with the members for the purpose of studying and discussing the subject. —_————————— Excursion to Ukiah.
