Halé's-—-a stove with the GROCERS SHOW [DIARY TELLS WS THRONG od Exposition Fills kA Pure F ‘rowd of Interested Folk San-Francisco’s first Pure Food and “Industrial Exposition was formally opened by Mayor Schmitz last evening in the Mechanics’ Pavilion, and a large audience lauded his eulogy of the and good wishes for its suc- ceremony was brief and sim- s conclusion the crowd re- on of the exhibits that ire ground area of the big - ple, by -sumed coveér buil Al t everything that is handled by t-¢lass grocer is to bé found in the show, and there are some things that have no connection whatever with the food question, but are attractive, just the same. Severa: wide-awake manufacturers of vehicles and other in- digestible articles and a few energetic sideshow men have taken advantage of the.advertising opportunity afforded by the display of comestibles, and the way in.which the foreign attractions were patronized last night showed that no mistake was made in admitting them. To describe all the exhibits that come fairly under the title of the exposition awould be a stupendous task. Suffice it to say that they are sufficiently numer- ous and varied to keep the visitor inter- ested for a couple of hours at least. Bach booth is tepanted by obliging clerks—mostly of the gentler seXs=who eloguently describe the particular vir- tues of their respective commodities, and almost every exhibitor gives each caller a souvenir, either a sample of the exhibit or an attractive advertise- ment of it. By the time the visitor has completed his tour of the hall he is heavily laden with packages and print- ed matter—or if he ien’t it is his own _fzult. Then tea and coffee and choco- -late and cocoa and various kinds of mineral waters and other innocuous beverages are to be had for the asking. Persons desiring more ardent liquids can bc accommodated without leaving - the building. A splendid brass band discoursed well- selented music during the evening, and %1 be there every afternoon and night during the exposition. The two comn- carts to-day will be of sacred compo- " sitions exclusively, and secularism will _ be suppressed as much as possible with- out iwpairing the educational value of the snow.

One entry, undated, reads: “To-day 1 killed ‘feller’ Killon and—" The last word is uninteligible. The sentence may mean “I killed a fellow,” and the rest may refer to killing and shooting. The belief is growing that the pris- oner is the missing Taylor of Lena County, Missouri, who, after murder- ing several persons for which he - was sentenced to be hanged in 1896, es- caped and disappeared, and for whom beavy rewards were offered. Long life as a hermit ‘may have af- fected his mind, for there is said to be no doubt that he is partially demented, and fear of capture may have led to his deadly assault on the two tramps who applied at his cabin for sielter and his subsequent attempt to kiil Sheriff Denholm and his deputies. e Railroad Employe Tries Suicide. SAN BERNARDINO, April 30.—As a result of having had his skull crushed by a blow from a revolver several years ago, Thomas McGowan, a Salt Lake Rallroad employe, made an attempt at suicide while confined in jail at Daggett. He slashed his throat with a piece of a glass bottle and succeeded in almost scalping him- self before he could be overpowered. —_——— Agricultural Society Secretary Elected.

Coroner Shepard held an inquest and during a prelimin- |- ary search of the cabin found $35 in small change scattered about. A later and more extended search has resulted in a’find of nearly $1000 in gold. The peculiar circumstance is that the rmoney was hidden and buried in all parts of the cabin and cellar, Not more than $20 was found in one place. This is not an unusual custom among min- ers. It is doubtful if Long knew the location of all his money himself. —_——— PRISON CELL OPENS FOR A CONVICTED WOMAN Santa Barbara Housekeeper Must Pay the Penalty of a Serious Crime. SANTA BARBARA, April 30.—Mrs. Jennie A. Downey was to-day sen- tenced to fourteen years in prison at San Quentin for assault with a deadly weapon with intent to commit murder. Mrs. Downey, who was housekeeper for Charles Wilson,. a well-known business man of this city, visited his place of business in November last, armed with a revolver, and after a brief altercation, shot him, the wound resulting in his death a few weeks later. Mrs. Downey alleged in extenuation of her offense that Wilson had prom- ised to marry her and had ignored the promise a few days before the day of the wedding. Prior to the shooting two civil cases arose over the ownership of valuable securities in possession of Mrs. Dow- ney, which she claimed had been given her by Wilson to secure a loan of sev- eral ‘hundred dollars. —_——— SLAYER OF A SHERIFF HEARS THIRD SENTENCE George Suesser Listens to the Dread Pronouncement of His Doom in San Jose. SAN JOSE, April 30.—George Sues- ser this morning was sentenced by Judge Tuttle to be hanged on the 15th of next July for the murder of Sheriff Farley of Monterey County in 1899. This is the third time he has been sentenced. When sentence was pronounced Suesser turned and dropped limply into his chair. He recovered, how- ever, and when being led out of the courtroom to the jail he chatted with his attorney. ———l e For many years past San Francisco has been and still is the leading whal- ing port of the world as we are here. of the stores, but all sections.

SANTA ROSA, April 30.—Dr. J. M. McClish, a Healdsburg dentist, had a narrow escape from being burned to death by an explosion of a vulcanizer in his laboratory. Both of his hands were badly burged and he Inhaled some of the fumes of the burning gasoline, which is llkely to cause in- ternal injury. 5 Despite the burns, Dr. McClish en- deavored to put out the flames started by the explosion and his clothing caught fire.

BANK DEPOSITS [KITES CARRY SHOW INCREASE Statement of New York De-| positories Furnishes Some | Very Interesting Figures —————— NEW YORK, April 30.—The Finan- cier says: Notwithstanding the export during last week of more than $12,750,000 of gold to Paris, the official statement for the week of the New .ork Asso- ciated Banks showed a net increase of $188,900 cash, and the surplus reserve was reduced by only little mor2 than | $1,000,000. Even under the averags sys- tem of the Clearing-house banks the shipments of gold Icr the week should have, it would seem, shown a loss of nearly $8,500,000 of cash. Tuesday’s exports of $6,500,000 called for the whole of that amount because the withdrawals were made early in the bank week; Thursday's exports of $2,500,000 for one-half of this sum, and Saturday’s export of nearly $4,000,000 for one-sixth of the amount, the total of these averages making $8,500,000, as above. Inasmuch as the remainder of the amount exported, or $4,500,000, was carried over under the average system into the current week, the statement was clearly made on largely declining averages for cash. Loans were expanded through cor- poration borrowing by $3,246,500, car- rying this item to a new high record. Cash increased $188,900 net, the specie decreasing $961,000 and legal tenders being augmented by $1,149,- 000. It may be noted that the re- ports which were based on the trace- able movements of money during the‘ week exclusive Saturday’s ship- ments of gold to Europe indicate a loss of $876,400 cash; therefore there was a discrepancy of $1,064,300 be- tween the estimated and the actual change in cash. Deposits also showed a net high record in an increase of $4,995,400, or $1,558,000 more than the amount called for by the sum of in- crease in loans and the net gain:in cash, consequently the statement did not balance. The required reserve was augment- ed by $1,248,350 through the increase in deposits. Deducting from this sum the net gain in cash left $1,059,450 as the decrease in surplus reserve to $33,- 144,250. Computed upon the basis of deposits less those of $56,252,700 public funds, the surplus is $47,197, —_———— on | WILL EXAMINE SITES FOR COALING STATION Board of Naval Officers Is Ordered to Convene at Mare Island Navy Yard. ‘WASHINGTON, April 30.—A board of naval officers has been ordered to convene at the Mare Island navy yard on May 5 and examine various sites supposed, to be available for a coal- ing station A WCARREN GAINS HEAVY WEIGHT| ADDED POWER Professor Bell’s Tests Indi- cate That His Invention Is a Stride Toward Success —_—— Special Dispatch to The Call. CALL BUREAU, HOTEL BARTON, WASHINGTON, D. C., April 30.—Pro- fessor Alexander Graham Bell of this city, who is seeking to solve the prob- lem of aerial flight, gave a public ex- hibition to-day of tetrahedral Kkites. The exhibition was given at the re- quest of the National Geographical So- ciety, of which Professor Bell was founder, and took place on a high pla- teau on the Virginia side of the Po- tomac, within sight of Washington, where the Weather Bureau has its kite station. Professor Bell explained that in pre- vious experiments with other forms of kites it had been demonstrated - that when a kite was made large enough to sustain the weight of a man who might steer it and an .engine which might propel it, the structure was too heavy to fly. Professor Bell gave various experi- ments. One kite consisting of sixteen cells, the weight of which was only two and three-quarters pounds, was flown at a great height and maintained considerable steadiness in a light breeze. In what seamen know as a fair sailing breeze this fragile fabric would have lifted into the air a weight of seventy-five pounds. Aluminum-framed kites also re flown, and, although the lightness of the air currents was rather against a succesful demonstration, all present were convinced that Professor Bell had made a great étep forward in the line of his experiments. He will con- tinue working out the problem at his college in Braddock this summer. —— Brooklyn Leader at Head of the Democratic Executive Committee in New York —— ALBANY, N. Y., April 30.—At a meet- ing of the Democratic State Commit- tee here to-day Cord Meyer of Queens Borough, New York City, was elected chairman to succeed Frank Campbell, and State Senator McCarren of Brook- lyn was made chairman of the execu- tive committee. Edgerton L. Winthrop of New York was chosen Presidential Elector in place of Robert B. Roosevelt, who de- clined to serve owing to the fact that President Roosevelt, the probable Re- publican nominee for President, is his nephew. Prior to the meeting of the commit- tee it was reported that while the Tam- many men would not object to the se- lection of Meyer as chairman of the State committee, they did urgently ob- Ject to Senator McCarren as chairman of the executive committee. It was said that Charles F. Murphy, leader of Tammany Hall, would be placed on the executive committee, but Thomas F. Smith ‘of New York, who held Mur- phy’s proxy, sald he did not believe Murphy would consent to serve upon a committee headed by MecCarren. Former Mayor Hugh J. Grant of New York City and former Lieutenant Gove ernor W. F. Sheehan of Buffalo wera among those elected to the executive committee, Grant being selected instead of Charles F. Murphy. —_——— Irish Soclety’s Outing. The Knights of the Red Branch will hold their thirty-fifth annual re- union and picnic at Shell Mound Park to-day.
