Members Are Discussing the Merifs of Leading Candidates. s il o The presidency of the Union League | | Club during the year of a Presidential | campaign is regarded as a position ! that carries considerable prestige in a ' | political sense. Next Tuesday there will be a general meeting of club mem- | | bers for the purpose of selecting a committee to nominate officers for the ensuing year. Colonel George H. Pippy’s second term as 'president of the league is drawing to a finish and | there is a deal of gossip among the | members concerning his successor. | Next in the regular order of promo- I tion is First Vice President Colonel Samuel J. Hendy. The incident, how- ever, is recalled that the “regular or- | der” was set aside one year ago when {Duncan E. McKinlay, a brilliant and ' sive orator of the Republican. by the advocates of a second term for Colonel Pippy. The latter had dis-, ved so much enterprise in the work ' : of enrolling new members and jncreas- ing the club’s store of money in the bank that many members readily | acquiesced in the plan to set aside tra- ditions and re-elect him 'to leadership. | . Duncan McKinlay accepted the re- sult with as much complacency as could be expected. Whether Colonel Hendy's friends will now stand aside and give the campaign orator the right ot way to the presidency of the club may be determined at the general meeting next Tuesday. The ticket which is put forward by the nominating committee is styled the regular ticket and it generally wins out. It happens, ohce in a great while, that a candidate for president packs the general meeting with his special supporters dnd thus obtains a nomina- tion contrary to the wishes of the gen- eral body of the league. When this prens the dissenting members put opposition ticket in the field and a | fight in the open to a finish is the re- | sult. ' Oceas’oral oppbdrition is an excel- | lent thing for the club. It stimulates attendance, induces delinquent mem- bers to settle their accounts in order tc vote and in a general way adds something to the life of the institution. The Union League Club is in a pros- perous condition. The membership is getting close up to the seven hundred mark. The sum of cash in bank is considerabie. There is a growing sen- timment in favor of acquiring new quar- ters and giving the membership of the club comforts and facilities which cannotsbe given in the rooms now oc- cupied by the league. Since the fail-} ure of the plan to buy a lot and build | a house on Stockton street, facing | Union Square, there has been much talk of a project to join the Press; Club in a lease of the premises now occupied by the Pacific-Union, but as the last named institution will not be fore November next the proposition to | co-operate with the Press Club has rot taken definite form. : —_— AGED MAN DESIRES | TO WED YOUNG GIRL | John Darragh, 64 Years Old, Is Re- fused License to Wed 17-Year- | Old Mary Hayes. | John Darragh, 64 years of age, resid- ing at 4 Latham place, applied for a license yesterday at the County Clerk’s office to wed Mary Hayes of Oakland, 17 years old, but was refused the per- | mit. Deputy County Clerk Danforth ques- tioned Darragh, who admitted that he was a divorced man, but could not re- member the date of his divorce. The young girl was accompanied by ! her mother, and the latter said she was willing for her daughter to wed the old man. The trio left the County Clerk’s office and Darragh said he would get the divorce papers from his lawyer in Oakland and apply to-morrow for a marriage license. Darragh was seen last night and ad- mitted that he had children and grand- | children. His first wife died some years ago and his second wife secured a divorce from him in the State of ‘Washington, but Darragh could not re- member the date or the city where the | divorce was secured. v Darragh’s friends say that he is more than 70 years old. His daughter, Jane | Darragh, and his granddaughter, Geor- | gia Kane, are well-known actresses in | the Bast. Another daughter, Mrs. G. | Pearce, is the wife of an electrician at Mare Island. | Darragh was formerly employed as a pattern-maker in the Risdon Iron | Works, but has not worked there for some months. ITe said that he desires to marry Miss Hayes in order that she | might study for the stage and admit- | ted that the young girl had a desire to i shine behind the footlights. | The old man said that he intended to |send the girl East to study with his daughter, but admitted that he had not | notified any of his relatives of his in- | tention to marry. ————— Trapper’s Oil cures rheumatism and neuralgia.

Chief of Police Wittman was notified yvesterday by Miller & Lux of a gross | act of vandalism that was perpetrated in their stockyards, on Sixth avenue and M street, South San Francisco, last ing. The firm offers a reward of $500 for information that will lead to the arrest and conviction of the miscreant or miscreants. In the stockyards on Wednesday were fourteen lambs. They were all right when Charles Riddy, the man- ager, locked up the place for the night, but when he went there on Thursday scattered over the place. An examina- ! tion by the Board of Health inspectors showed that the skulls of the ani- mals had been crushed in, their necks brokenand twisted and they had been mutilated in other ways. An investigation was made quietly by the firm's employes, but no clew could be found to the perpetrators of the brutal act, and it was decided to ask the assistance of the police. Several of the men employed by the firm went out on strike about a week ago. Wheth- er or not the strike had anything to do with the act of vandalism is a matter | of conjecture, but there is a strong sus- { picion that the persons implicated are known to the strikers. A copy of the letter to the Chiet of- fering the reward was read to the dart- ferent watches at the police stations throughout the city yvesterday, and every effort will be made to discover the identity of the vandals. ———————— Guillett’s Christmas extra mince ples, fce- cream and cake. 005 Larkin st.: tel.
