water works after ALL" said another.
"These things come up every once In
awhile and blow over. Our political con-
ventions inaugurate these movements
when they are expected to go through.
We've had a perfect run Of conventions
just now, and none of them said word
about wanting the water works. However.
l shouldn't wonder if it was good thing
if it were done. Something has been said
about regret that the works weren't
bought many years ago. / don't agree
with that. If we had had to develop this
system the city would have been groaning
under a debt for water works of about
$50. 900. 900. AS it is the works can be con-
demned and secured for about $4,000, 000

licity incident to everything, gets cinched

RENEWEDSUCCESS
Of the Saturday Popular
Quartet.
The Second Carr.Beel Concert of the
Season A GODDARD
Trio.

Yesterday afternoons Carr-Beel con-
cert was marked by the first appearance
this season of the Saturday Popular Quar-
tet The only change in its members from
last season was the substitution of A. A.
Soloman for III. Wismer as second violin
Mr.. Soloman proved himself quite equal to
taking his part in sustaining the high
reputation of the quartet. The other per-
formers are: Sigmund Beel. first violin !;
Beruet Jaulus, viola, and LOUIS Heine,
cello.
Tschaikowsky's String Quartet, orus IL,
which opened the programme, was de-
lightfully played. The assemblies could
scarcely have been better, and the shad-
ing, particularly in the andaDte cantabile.
was of the most delicate and finished
order. Bach's b minor sonata for violin
and piano showed Mrs. Carmichaei-C arr
and Sgmund Beel at their best. In all
the four movements they were at one 10
their appreciation for the master aud in
their IDEA of interpreting the work. The
two allegro movements in particular
pleased the audience and there was de-
cided demand for an encore at the end of
the sonata.
The bright GODDARD trio for pianoforte
and strings. OPP. u. was work that
could scarcely fail TO please. The exct-
ing dramatic character of the music was
well set I0TUn Dy MTS. Carr ana MeSsrS.
Beel and Heine. In the allegro moder alto
especially Mrs. Carr played with brilliancy
and animation.
The vocalist, as usual In these concerts,
was below the standard Of the ether per-
formers. Not that any one could take
much exception to Miss Irma Fitch's
white little voice, except that it was con-
spicuous by its absence. In a drawing
room this young lady could, no doubt. give
great pleasure to her hearers, but in a
building the size of Golden Gate Hall her
words were inaudible, ana her voice nearly
so except In the upper register. Apart
from the lack of resonance in her voice
Miss Fitch's vocaizatiOn showed consid-
cradle agility. and she took her high notes
easily and without any tendency to screa N
them. The songs by Grieg and Rogers
suited her better than the Delibes music.
The next Carr-Beel concert will take
place on October 81, when the string quar-
tet will be by Haydn and the quartet for
piano and strings by Dvarak

Last Tuesday, in the Superior Court of
San Rafael. a decree of divorce was
granted Theodore Reichert, Surveyor
General of California. from his wife,
Mollie Reichert.
The proceedings were carried on with the
greatest secrecy, every effort having been
made to kee D the matter silent. However,
the affair gained publicity, and it was
found that the proceedings were carried
on by stipulation.
The wife was given the custody of the
10-year-old child and was allowed A remit
lance Of $1,000 cash and a note for $3.50.
The couple have been married for twelve
years. and for some time past have resided

That 81. 900 Offer.

EDS. RECoRD UNION: see in the REC
oRD-UNIoN of yesterday that Mr.. Dow
ner made statement before the Board of
City Trustees on the clear water PROPOSE
ton, in which my name figured conspic-
uously. He said that he was an inter-
ested party, and just told enough to suit
his purpose or that of the company, but
nothing for me. Particularly, Mr.. Dow
ner did not tell why l offered him the
81, 200 to show to the company that 1t
would be to their interest to get the sup
ply of water here. Please let me explain
little, as his statement places me IN
ridiculous position and he had no right
to make it as he did. His statement is
queer, to say the least OF it. Let's see.
Il was pay him 81 200. Mr.. Ray LOCO,
my price $4,000 and was to have 81 ,000."
My son, ID years old, was standing by
and heard the conversation and volunta-
rily said to me, why, you never told
Downer that you was to pay Mr.. Ray
81, ,000' OF course not. / never had
offered to pay 81 900 or any other SUM for
any purposes whatever. That part of the
story existed in Downer's Imagination.
Mr.. Downer came to my house about
two months ago and asked me questions
about the well the trout was pumped out
OF. l told him all during the conversa-
ton. | understood him 10 assent to my
proposition that it would be cheaper for
the company in the long run TO take the
water from here, as the cost of pumping
water thirty feet is double that of fifteen
feet; the locality also being higher. He
said test of the water out of the William-
son well had showed the water not pure,
and seemed to know that the water from
my well was the purest. AS there are
large cobbles in the bottom of my well,
and it lacks sixty-fve feet of being deep
enough to fill the requirements of the
ordinance. | stated that fact to Downer.
He replied that he could take out cobbles
as big as his head, and ii there were
powders, as l suggested there likely
would be, he could break them down in
the water and pull them up. well" l
said to him, "If you will convince the
company that it would be TO their interest
to take water from here L will give you
81, 900" In this statement | was very
positive that | must have $4,000. l knew
it would cost a good sum to sink the well
I25 feet and prove to the company what
| proposed he should show them. One
week ago | made proposition to Mr..
Ray on the water question-one that was
fair and honorable in every particular
lust such as are made by business men
every day. Ray has never signihed his
willingness to accept the proposition, and
il is inmateriaI to me. / certainly would
not make a proposition that would dam
age myself or anyone else. Oh, no!

EDS. RECORD UNION: About this time
of the year farmers are meeting in politi-

men," In the meantime they send their
foremen to the nearest cities or towns to
engage Chinese or Japanese to cut their
hay, harvest their crops. or pick their
fruit.
Right here in this city, on Tuesday.
while a farmers Populist Convention
was in session, and while hundreds OF
unemployed men were parading the
streets asking for relief, a farmer was
seen to go to a japanese boarding-house
and after dickering while with the boss,
he started off for his wagon with dozen
