Personal Gossip.

San Francisco, Aug. l5.-Severai
thousand unemployed men paraded the
principal streets OF the city Sunday
afternoon. There were many trans
parencies in the procession bearing vari-
GUS inscriptions, conspicuous among
these were some that informed the pub
lie that 1--WE must have work." En-
force the Geary law" and "Our children
are crying for bread" The local papers
in their reports the following day treated
the matter very gingerly, devoting the
most OF their space to the meeting that
followed the parade. Evidently the
press of this city has no deaire to let the
outside world know OF the poverty ex-
listing in San Francisco today. On
Saturday ground will be broken at the
Golden Gate park for the midwinter
fair, and if work progresses on this
project, as there is no doubt it will, we
will soon have better times.
Candidates for the governorship are
the place, each in his own peculiar way.
OF the Democrats, B. d. Murphy Of
Santa Clara county has paid number
of visits to the city lately, consulting
with the politicians as to his candidacy.
Mr.. Murphy is man of wealth, and
seeks the position for the honor there
is in 1t.
Congressman Thomas j. Geary be,
lieves that he is entitled to the guber-
material chair for the services he has
rendered the people OF this state by the
indefatigable way in which he has forced
the Chinese to the point of deportation,
% prescribed by the now famous Geary
law.
The two candidates most prominently
mentioned in the Republican party at
the present time are both young men.
OF these two, Frank M. Ooombs, the
lately returned minister to Japan, will
endeavor to secure the coveted plum on
his record as a public official in this
state. Mr.. Coombs is one of the leading
members OF the N. S. g. W., and will
have the backing of that organization in
his fight.
The other candidate is the popular
young district attorney of this city and
county, William s. Barnes, son of W.
H. III. Barnes. The younger Barnes has
ably filed the position he now holds for
the past three years, he having been re.
elected last fall. 1t has been tacitly
agreed among the powers that be that
in the event of his not being able to
make winning fight that he should
have the nomination for congressman
in the district now represented by Judge
Mcguire.
One of the brightest young newspaper
men in Los Angeles during boom times
was Sol N. Sheridan, at that time en-
ployed on the since defunct Tribune.
Sheridan came to Los Angeles from
Ventura and Immediately pushed his
way to the front rank OF newspaperdom.
| He remained on the Tribune staff until
he departed for Washington as the cor
respondent for the San Francisco Chron-
icle. The vigorous eastern weather was
too much for Sol and he ventured into
Arizona, where he remained short
time eventually coming to this city,
where his ability as newspaper man
was soon recognized and he was ten
dered the position OF night editor OF the
| Call, which place he is at present filling
! to the entire satisfaction of the proprie-
tors and patrons OF the Call. s@e ~
Another member of the Tribune
staff, but later sporting editor Of the
HERALD, was the energetic little Benny
Benjamin, who is one Of the best recog-
nized authorities on sporting matters
there is ON the coast today.
Benny's abilities were soon recog.
nized by the proprietor of the Chroni.
Gle, who placed him in the editorial
chair OF the sporting department, and
every Saturday Ben devotes page or
more to the news that is relished 80
much by those having any kind o
sporting proclivities, which virtually
means the whole public.
Martin V. Brady, at one time depu
ty sheriff in Los Angeles, but of late
one of the prominent bookmakers IL
this city, has returned from an extend
ed eastern tour. which included the
worlds fair. Martin is glad to return
and says he has rented room for fiv'
years in advance. as IL will certainly b.
that long before he leaves again.
