EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE.

At the meeting Of the executive COM
nittee later in the afternoon there were
present, Messrs. De Young. Stump An
drews, Mitchell. Berry and Gregory. A
number OF communications we're read,
offering suggestions in connection with
tn fair.
The General Electric Light Company
promised TO make as fine a display here as
10 Chicago. The San francisco Labor
Council sent committee to announce that
the organization would hold a ball on the
evening If Labor day. September 4, and
would donate rs per cent OF its proceeds to
the exposition. The cliizens OF Nanam o,

The Building Trades Council notified
the committee that the organization had
adopted resolution pledeing It's mem bers

to donate 81 a week each for each week
they were so employed.
committee decided that while 1t would UNI
doubleday inspire public confidence to
begin work on the grounds and buildings
at once. that IL would be more prudent to
secure some cash donations first Ii has
been decided that the work at the park
cannot be done by days labor and that a
contract will be let Before any work is
commenced the committee wishes to have
S50,0 on hand. Then the grading will be
commenced. Following that another sum
OF 100000 will be necessary before con-
tracts are made for the buildings.
Ihere are so many unemployed mechan-
les in the city that It is unlikely that any
,aborers will be brought from outside
towns. Workmen living in interior places
will gain nothing by flocSing 70 the city in
the expectation of tecriving fancy wages.
Their arrival here will only have the eff
feet OF still further crowding the over
stocked labor market. 1t will be- difficult
enough at best TO provide employment for
all who desire work in this city alone.

FRENCH SUPPORT.

Simultaneously with the meeting in the
Mills building, there WAS gathering Of
French merchants in the rooms of the
Cercle Francois on Pos. street. These
gentlemen were summoned By Mr. de
Lalande, Consult General Of France, who
presided al the meeting. He explained
that he had received a number OF letters
from his countrymen, some written from
France, and others from Chicago.
His correspondents included those who
proposed coming hitler as exhibitors and
as visitors. They inquired whether or
not the Mldwinter Fair would be success,
and made many requests for detailed
informant n. which he mad been unable to
give. A general discussion followed, in
which many prominent IRENE citizens pa.

SAN RAFAEL, July 31.-George w. and
John Monteith to-day tried to have the
prosecution Of their various libel cases
taken out Of the hands of Distric: Attor-

selves. The District Attorney thought he
was able to conduct the cases himself and
the court thought so also. The District
Attorney then moved to dismiss the libel
cases against Hon. w. W. Bowers and the
editors of the National City Record on
the ground of the impoSsibility of convic-
ton. He produced afidavits which repre-
scented the opinions OF more than 200
prominent San Diego men. Monteith

traditions, run so far back that mortal
eumity with the Apaches did not exist.

ment, still the hatred exists, and when
the opportunity is presented the Pima
heaps all kinds of contumely upon tn,
heads of the Apaches.
As is known the Pimas seldom leave
their valley homes, and as the Apache
ore now on the reservation Under tn,
surveillance OF troops, it is rarely tina
they meet, though last winter company
Of the Apache soldiers were brought
through the city under United Statel
officer. Before they had been here ar
hour their old enemies, the Pimas and
Maricopas, all knew of it, and by the
middle of the afternoon fully 1000 were
in town to see them. The Apache senti,
mel had been taught enough military
discipline to know that he must not re.
sent the insults heaped upon him by the
Indian onlookers, but it must have been
a hard trial to his wild nature.
Years ago the Apacnes and the Pima,
often settled their differences BY singl,
combat or pitched battles, and there is
now one Pima living who killed six
Apaches in one day in single combai
near where the Sacaton Agency is 10.
Gated. The Pima used his lrouwood club,
about two feet in length, and the
Apaches their spesrs and war stubs. 1t
is wonderful how skillful these Pimas
are in the use of their clubs, fencing
with them equal to the exhibition of a
French master OF the oils.-Pheals

Tr;ei 70 Get the Pan err stone.

The latest crime mouted to an ADeri-
can in England is that he has tried to
get possession by shady means OF the
monument known as the Panyer stone
near Paternoster Row, 10 London. The
monument was placed in its position in
1855 aud contains this inscription:
When We have sought thu city round
Yet siill Is this the highest ground.
There Is also the effigy of boy sitting
in basket. According to the story
which the police tell an American took
fancy to this interesting piece of Seven
teenth Century foe art and offered one
OF the workmen who we're making alter
atious in the building where it Is placed
the sum of $3.50 to steal the stone. He
also engaged to have modern one made
as like to it as possible to put IN the
place of the real one, but the workman,
who takes a pride in the antiquities OF
London, scorned the temptation and in
formed the police of this attempt to cor
rupt his patriotism. A watch now has
been set on the stone until ITS inyioiabil-

Best Hen.

After all there seems to be some
shadow Of probable truth in the old
legend which tells US that Romulus and
Remus, the founders Of Rome, were
reared and suokled by she wolf. Eth
nologists who have of late years been
studying the "Beast Man" or "Wolf
Children" Of India have come to the con-
clusion that the story of Rome's founders
is probably the "whole truth and moth
ing but tho truth" Scientific investiga-
ton on the Gaages has unraveled much
that renders the old legend far from
improbable, as we'll as throwing much
light on the "ages OF the cave man.
Professors Muller and Gcrhardt, as well
as Colonies Sleeman and Price, relate
many wonderful stories of discoveries
made in the caves Of the Indian noun
tains, where many $50 called "wolf
children" were found that possessed
every instinct of habit and taste that
characterizes the wolf-discoveries that
settle the question of wolves raising
children question that has been dis
cusssd for 5000 years. The report on
this interesting subject says: "These
beast men or wolf children resemble
both the savage races of men and
representatives of well-known types
of the animal kingdom. They
have no place of shelter except
that afforded by caves and hollow
trees, nor have they the least ca
pacity for constructing such domiciles.
One beast man, an elderly fellow dug
out of a VOLTS den By Doctor Gerhardt,
would tear and eat raw flesh, gather
! and gnsw bones like dog, catch and
swallow flies aud verm:n, bite off the
heads of fowls, snakes, etc. He Tapped
water just as wolf or dog would, and
seemed to prefer raw meat TO all other
kinds of food"
A wild boy found running on all tours
in company with female wolf and her
cubs in the North of india could climb d
tree with as much agility as a squirrel
would lap water or suck it like COW or
horse. Professor Max Muller, who
made lengthy study of the case, says
that the boy would devour anything but
preferred raw meat. He would fly at
children and try to bite them, and was
never known to smile, cry or show other
sigas of either JOY, grief or shame.
