ing Festival.
AT meeting of the General Committee of
the Youths Directory festival held last
evening at 2o30 Howard street it was decid-
ed to leave the distribution of tickets for the
festival at tie Pavilion from October 18th
to the 18th in the hands of a committee of
ladies. This committee will have the sale of
tickets at the prices: Season ticket, 81 !;
single (adulp admission, % cents; children's
single admission, 10 cents.
Colonel W. z. Sullivan of the First Infantry
Regiment suggested rifle match instead of a
competitive drill for the military in case the
municipal authorities could be induced to
consent TO such exhibition, which necessari-
ly must be at reduced range. He said
that competitive drill tends TO demoraliZe
the defeated companies. lie also suggested
that Colonel Barry of the Third Regiment
might like to try to wrest from his regiment
the possession of trophy won two years
since in a competitive drill at the Presidio.

pointed committee to visit Colonel Barry
on the subject, and barry Drury and

A delegate from Oakland said he was
about to approach the order of Catholic
Knights on the subject, and was confident
his appeal would summon them to the aid
of the destitute youths. His promise evoked
a round of applause.
The subject of paper to be published

OF opinion was in favor of the publication

OFF LIME POINT,
A Fishing Crew Rescued by the
Life Boat.

Word was brought to the city last evening
that the life-saving crew at Bakers Beach
had rescued the crew OF fshing-boat that
had capsized off Lime Point. 1t appeared
that the boat, which belonged TO an Italian.
was on her way to the city, but was struck
by sudden squall which capsized her.
throwing the crew of two into the water.
The accident was observed by the life
saving crew from its station, and the men
promptly launched the life-boat ana went
to the rescue. When the life-boat reached
the overturned craft the Two fishermen were
cliDging 10 the bottom Of the boat, and were
nearly exhausted. They were taken into
the life-boat nearly dead from the effects OF
their long immersion.
The life-saying crew also picked up man
named Durgar, who had seen the accident
from Lime Point and attempted the rescue
in skiff. Before he reached the pturned
boat, however, he almost lost his life. The
sea struck bis boat and almost capsized her
carrying away one OF his oars and thu
rendering him helpless.
The accident was further witnessed NV
the soldiers at the fort, as they were prac
ficlng with the heavy guns, and a mes sen.
ger was at once dispatched to the life-boat
station with the information, but by the
time he reached the station the men had the
boat IN the water. Up to a late hour last
night the names OF the rescued could not be
learned.
This was owing to lack of communica-
ton with the station, rs the stations at
Bakers Beach and below the Cliff Hopsa
have no telephone communication with the
rest of the world. The only telephone near
there is the one at the Cliff House, necassi-
tatlng long and tedious tramp from either

A SURPRISE.
Termination of the Taylor Sen.
satiOnal Doodle Case.
Steve Gage and Dick Chute Could Not Be
Found-The Plaintiffs Attorney Asks
for Nonsuit-It Is Granted.

The old proverb of going up with the
rocket and coming down with the stick was
specially applicable to the Taylor Doodle
suit yesterday-at least, so far as its anti
climax is concerned.
When the case was called George D..
Squires, who during the session of the Leg
islature was correspondent for the Bulletin,
was examined as. a witness. and he testified
that while in Sacramento he on number OF
occasions saw Taylor engaged in CONVERSE
ton with Senator Maher and other Senators.
The next witness called was Henry
Wagenheim, who, as soon as he had been
sworn, stated, with some degree of en-
phaticness, that notwithstanding statements
in newspapers he had not attempted to
evade the service of subpoena, had not been
absent when wanted, and that he had been
at his place of business in this city all the
time.
The witness then testified:

LABOR AND CAPITAL.
Plans and Principles of the EN-.
plOyers' Union.
Preparations for Labor Day-An Active De-
mand for Molders Carpenters Assessed
for an Eight Hour Fund.

Considerable apprehension has been dis
played in labor circles recently on account
of the organization of the employers of the
city into an association for mutual protec-
ton and advancement; and at the recent
meeting OF the Federated Trades delegate
stated that the employers had banded to
disrupt the unions and reduce wages.
1t appears that the unions have misappre-
hended the purpose of this council of en-
ployers. Its declaration of principles, as
given to a CALL reporter yesterday, is as
follows:
This association is formed to promote the
manufacturing Interests of the Pacific Coast.
It's policy Is not dictated by spirit of aggres-
sion, but II shall be the earnest endeaYor of Its
members to prevent friction and 10 peacefully
srttle all disputes that may arise between en-
ployer and emplOye.
We, The members of this association, have no
wish 10 interfere with the indisputabe right O I
labor TO organize, but believe that the orgauiZa-
ton and federation OF labor compel the Organi-
cation and The federation of employers OF labor
10 The end that The weakness of neither party
shall tempt the other 10 oyersiep the boun DIS of
right, reason and justice. We believe that the
arbitrary spirit shown by the unions in the alb
Sence OF any effective restraining power, and the
frequent strikes and boycOtts which have In conse
qGenee prevailed In This eommmunity are dau-
geTOus 10 its industries; and This association of
employers is founded 10 cheek these growing
evils.
We recognize the right OF labor TO organize in
Its own defense, or TO ameliorate its condition;
and we, as employers, Will not trespasS on that
right by refusing employment to any one for be-
longing 10 such labor organization, but we
serve 10 ourselves the right TO decide as to whom
we shall or whom we shall not employ.

firmed the report that the Executive Com

propriated 5000 for the relief of the strik-
ers in this city. The good feeling that fol-
lowed the reading of Valentines dispatch

wages 10 per cent higher than they were re-
ceiying when the strike was ordered.
