SULLIVAN DEPOSED.
The Advisory Board of the Democ-
raCV Abolished.


The Democratic County Committee met
on Tuesday evening for the purpose of de-
visng means to pay bills aggregating S2l60,
which had been left over from the CAM
paign
A motion was made that the finance COM
mittee I've empowered to raise the money,
and j. E. Kenny moved as an amendment
that the advisory board raise the money.
Sullivan. Dwyer and Eckhoff, he said,
were the leaders, and had bosssd the party
during the campaign and controlled the
patronage; so he thought that they, having
obtained everything tangible in city politics,
should pay the bills. The amendment was
defeated, and tie original motion was
carried.
Andy Clunie then arose and charged the
advisory board with seishneSs and undem-
ocratlc conduct and moved that il be abol-
lshed. He inlimated that the board had
not only grabbed every office in sight, but
had retained Republicans at the crib while
there were many hungry Democrats who
wanted Office
Clunie was opposed BY ex-Judge J. F.
Sullivan of the board, WHO denied that he
had used his position for selfish ends. Eick-
hon spoke to the same effect.
Clune said that Sullivan had secured ap
pnlntments in the County Clerks Office.
lie knew Sullivan had secured places for
some o his ex-emplOyes and for persons
whose Democracy is questioned because
they voted and worked for him when he
was candidate for Justice of the Supreme
Court.
Clunie declared that J. J. Dwyer had six
nersoEal appointments in the new City
Hall and that these were six Republicans at
work In the County Clerks office whose aD-
poIntment was recommended by the ad-
vlsOry board.
This latter statement was corroborated
by Supervisor Dundon and the resolution TO
abolish the board was ad0pted.

A Siberian Exile,

Among the passengers on the Gaelic,
which arrived from China last night was
poor Siberian exile who had been picked
adrift from wreck. The man could not
speak English and it was difficult to under
stand his sign language, but his condition
and appearance, even after days of con-
stant care on board the Gaelic, showed that
the man had suffered. yea, starved, and in
his extremity had lost the courage which
led him from the tyranny Of ii Gar.
He didn't want to talk. he didn't want to
see anv one. POor fellow, all he wanted
was to be left alone. So long as he could
crouch in the narrow dark hold assigned
him in the steerage he was happy, and when
even the voice of one friendly to him called
to ham he was afraid to answer.
That the man has endured tortures both
in Siberia and on the sea no one can doubt.
He shows his suffering and his punish
ment.
just what will be done with the man.
now he is here, cannot as yet be said, but
surely some of his countrymeu who have
escaped knOut and lash and gained their
freedom Will care for him.

HOTEL HERMITS.
Men Who Find Solitude in the Very
CenterS of I-iVeIiness.
w YORK Letter to PIttsburc pisp,tcb

New York Letter to Pttsburg Dispatch.
One If the most interesting studies in
human nature aboat the city is the man
who lives in hotels. l do not mean the
commercial traveller or the man who is
engaged in business OF any kind, but the
man who has nothing 10 do but to look
around him and enjoy himself He may
actually enjoy himself, too. for all l know
| hope he does. He is interesting as an
illustration of what some men call en- Joy
ment.
The fashionable hotels of New York-and
unfashiOnable, for that matter are the
shelter of many men who are not in bust
ness. other than the business of looking
pretty and observing the rest OF the world
move. do not say they are the homes of
such men - they merely shelter and feed
them.
In many instances this life is that of a
hermit. Possibly a man accustomed to the
wild, hilarious career offered by country
hotel may cavil at the expression In this
connection, but it is because such man
does not understand city ways year or
TWO ago well-to-do gentleman died in
New York hotel. He had lived in the
hosiery Tor years. and yet not a soul-ifI
may use the word soul in speaking of
hotel corp0ratl0n-knew him personally or
anything about him beyond the fact that he
paid his bills promptly and regularly. He
chose % make no acquaintanceS and was
satisfied tn appear TO the hotel managers as
IN 81. K, or by whatever number his
room was designated. The hotel manage
ment had changed several times, but he
lived on there, calm, unruffled existence.
AS guest such q man is a jewel, and,
as NAV reasonably be supposed, he was
not likely to be harrassed by unneces-
sary attentions. When lie died and it
was found that lie was gentleman of indie
pendent f0rtune-the newspapers, of course
making the diseoVery-some people mar
veled for day or Two and then forgot him.
| recall the incident now only TO illustrate
that in great city like this what appears
to be the most public life may be IN reality
the most exclusive. There are plenty of
men living hermit lives in New York
hotels-as much so as though they occupied
a poor novel in the solitary fastnesses of
the wilderness.
l know men who reside at swell hotels
who DO not seek to avoid their fellows, but
who might as we'll be confiaed In the peni-
tentiary or be dead so far as their useful
ness TO society Is concerned. They remind
me OF convcls-so apparently listless. aim
less and inert their existence. They eat,
drink and sleep. Life holds no more invit-
ing cup for them than that offered by the
hotel corridor. They have exhausted what
men call pleasure. or are beyond the age of
physical enjoyment, with no reserve capacity
for mental pleasure. To man OF some
temperaments such life would be living
death.

CAME FROM JAVA.
Arrival of Villagers From
a Foreign Land.
They Are on the Way TO the Worlds
Fair at Chicago-A Picturesque
Group.

On the steamship Gaelic which arrived
from the Orient last night there were 125
Javanese men and women bound for the
Worlds Fair in Chicago.
The company consists of 102 men and
twenty-thIee women. most of whom were
at the Paris Exposition as representatives
of their almost unknown country.
The JayRnese bring with them 1100 tons
of freight, consisting principally of the ma
terial from which the huts Of the natives are
built IN their own country.
Until the arrival of this party but few real
JaYanese have ever landed on the shores of
America, at least on the Pacific Coast.
The company Will remain in San Fran
cisco until Saturday next, when they will
leave Tor Chicago on special train. The
object Of their visit is 10 erect in the grounds
of the Worlds Fair at Chicago a JaVanese
village, and they carry with them all the
materials TO place in position their huts and
within them carry on the work which has
made the JaYanese famous among cou-
noisseurs.
Leigh Lynch first conceived the scheme Of
bringing the natives OF Java to the Worlds
Fair about year ago, and he made trip
to their Islands and conferred with the
chiefs. lie succeeded in getting the consent
Of the rulers of that little kingdom TO agree
TO select and send a company of their be-
men and women 10 the United States during
the Worlds Fair.
just how much imf Orlance is attached to
the visit of the Javanese is indicated first
in the providing of a special train to Chca-
90. and secondly IN the fact that w. L.
Garrison and g. j. L. de Bruyn OF Chicago
were sent TO meet The party and have been
in the city awaiting the arrival of The
steamer Tor several days.
There IS no question but what the Java
nese village, as 1t viii be built by the
natives. will be a wonder. The equipment
they bring with them in the way of build
ing materials is a wonder in Itself.
But few among the company can talk or
understand the English language, OF. in
fact. any other tongue than their own. The
exceptions are the men and women who
were sent to France aud now accompany
the present party as guardians.
These few talk French fiuently, aud have
as well a smattering of English. but they
are .JayaDese still in their customs and
habits.
During their stay in San Francisco the
gentlemen sent from Chicago will show the
natives Of Java the sights, and will try and
familiarize the green hands" with ciViliza-
tiOn as it is understood by the English
speaking people Of this country.
1t Is a picturesque crowd and one which
will interest even the blase San Franciscan,
who sees people Of every nation every day,
except the JavanesP.
