offering the convention to Chicago the
question of how the debt of the committee
was to be wiped out would be solved is
looked on as very fimsy, as what he
wished Chicago to do San Francisco and
Pittsburg have both offered to do with
their own free will without being coaxed.
One thing seems at the present time to be
certain: Chicago will not secure very
heavy support from the East. Nearly all the
delegates are pledged for San Francisco or
Pittsburg, and will turn their efforts in
one of those directions. Governor Green
halge of Massachusetts when seen to-
night said that he had not heard OF Chair
man Carter's offer, but if it were true he
did not see why the conclusion had
been so quickly arrived at, for by the gen.
eral tone Of the press it would seem that
at no time has Chicago been very heavy
bidder for the honor, and he did not see
how the convention could go there con-
sstently. Notwithstanding this turn OF
affairs the general feeling is that either
San Francisco or Pittsburg will capture
the prize, with the odds on the former.

PITTSBURG, Pa, Nov. 15.-The Offer
of Thomas ii. Carter chairman of the Re.
publican National Committee, to deliver
the next convention to Chicago for S54,.
600 cash and an agreement to pay the
working expenses of the gathering, die
not seriously alarm the citizens who are
booming Pittsburg for the convention.
Pittsburg has had for some weeks 8
guarantee fund of $65, 900, and that sum
has been largely increased. If 1t comes to
a question of money there will be double
$65, 900 raised without any trouble. Al
ready Pittsburg has some powerful workers
enlisted in her behalf, and with guarantee
to pay off the debt and all others that may
be contracted Pittsburg is believed to have
better chance than Chicago, owing to
the early start made by this city.

Clever Entertainment and Formal Pre-
sentatiOn of Medals.
The entertainment at the Olympic Club

ence. and among the attendants were
many ladies' The numbers on the pro-
gramme were:
Mr. Fentos; Spanish songs, j. b. ArtZ and j. F.

comic song, Jack Cathcart; balance trapeze,
Mr.. Pettis comic sketch boxing Slamburg and
Tigh; boxing exhipition, Finnie. and Paul;

Hammersmfth.
Mr.. Pettis' wonderful balancing on the
trapeze was a feature of the exhibition.
Mr.. Cathcart's comic singing possessed
sufficient merit to evoke three recalls.
The boxing was clever and spirited and
the gaiety dance was so artistic that Mr..
Hammersmith had to respond to an en-
core.
At the conclusion of the programme of
entertainment George A. Newhall, vice
president of the club, presented the medals
of the club which had been won in the
contests of the year. The medal winners

On Thursday an article was published to the
effect that the State Labor Commissioner had
made investigation of William McCor-

had found that it was not conducted upon
business principles that would justify public
confidence in the scheme. Mccormick states
that he has no intention OF indulging in sharp
practices or swindling. The Labor Commits

nothing to do with her brothers exchange, and
that none of his goods and merchandise were

SAN JOSE, Nov. 15.-Arthur Arlington,
who is in Jail awaiting his examination on
charge OF robbing .Addie Dowden. of $47,
has not been deserted by his wife, who is
making strenuous efforts to secure his re-
lease. When Arlington was returned here
from Suisun his wife accompanied him.
Arlington was assigned to one of the front
cells of the Jail, and his wife secured: q
back room in the St. James Hotel, and the
husband and wife exchange greetings ard
watch each other from their windows
most OF the day.
Mrs. Arlington. who married her .hus-
band In June, is possessed: of several
thousand dollars, and nothing will be LETT
undone to free her husband.
A few days ago Mrs: E. Smith. of Oak
land called upon Chief Kidward and fe-
ported to- him that Arlington had swindled
her out Of $3.50. How Arlington obtained
this money from her She declined to state,
but she finally admitted that he had bor+
rowed it under false pretenses, and she was
determined to prosecute him. The threat
has evidently had its effect, for to-day
Mrs. Arlington called at the police Office
and reported : that in order to liquidate
Mrs. Smiths claim against Arlfngto n she
would deed: to her some propertyin- Massa-
ehusetts. -:

failed to turn over to his employer. If
the prosecution was not stopped he would
have her brother prosecuted for embezzle-
ment.
In reference to this accusation it is
alleged by persons knowing the Pattons
that the printing office in San Francisco
was purchased with $3.50 of Miss Patton's
money. Miss Patton's mother mortgaged
her home in Santa Cruz and gave part of
the money to her daughter. Walter Pat
ton worked for Ferrer three months. In
that time he was paid so cents in all, and
during the last six weeks of his apprentice
ship Ferrer allowed him to go ragged,
dirty and hungry.
The next feature of the letter shows
Ferrer begging and pleading with Miss
Patton 10 come to San Jose and testify
that they were living together without an
agreement of any kind. If she would do
that his relatives would provide money
enough to enable the whole outfit to go to
Central America. where he and Miss
Patton could live together and be happy.
In his closing lines Ferrer tells Miss
Patton that she is the only one who can
save him, and. figuratively, throws him.
self at her feet.
Joseph Alfonso, nephew Of the pris-
oner, was called to the stand by the de-
tense. :.
He had often. talked with Miss Katie
Patton in reference to Ferrer, and had fre-
quently remarked to her how nice it would
be when Ferrer secured divorce from his
wife and married her. Miss Patton never
replied except by bowling her head. :,
William Crawford testified that he had
been introduced to the alleged second wife,
but it was not as Mrs. Ferrer, but as Miss
Patton. :: -:
Mrs Belle. McMartin, a sister of the
prisoner, testified that Ferrer introduced
Miss Patton to her some time last June as
Miss Patton:
She had frequently refused an introduce
ton on account of the unlawful intimacy
which she knew was existing between her
brother and Miss Patton.
Mrs. Constantia. Fernandez: mother oi
Carmen Alfonso, told a similar story.

Was q Criminal Deed,

A prominent attorney in speaking OF
the shooting Of Willie Burg by Max
Bauer at the school house Wednesday
night, says thatunder any circumstance
whether he knew the gun to be loaded
or otherwise, the pointing of the gun at
any one was a criminal deed punish
able as per statutes Of the state. The
statute provides against the pointing
Of a deadly weapon at anyone, under
any circumstance outside of the police
regulations.
Investigations by the police author
tiles, however, point to a crime having
been committed Of deeper dye than
that. When Chief of Police Stemm
called upon Fred Bale, whose gun was
the one used, that gentleman stated in
the most positive terms that when the
gun was loaned to Fred Prlddis it was
not loaded He says before he let the
gun go he pulled the ram rod and in
serted it in the gun barrel and then
measured the outside Of the barrel with
it to be sure that no load was inside.
After letting the boy take it he was
importuned to let the shot pouch and
powder flask go with it. He let the
boy take the shot pouch but refused
him the powder flask. Mr.. Bale is
very certain that if a load was shot
out of the gun it was put in there after
it left his house, and without his'knowl-
edge. This seems to implicate
one or the other Of the two boys con-
cerned.
Chief Stemm further says that after
the drill in which the guns had been
used, which was in that of a repreoen-
tation of the minute men of 1776, the
guns were taken from the BOYS and put
away, the boys being forbidden to go
near them. The boys, however, slipped
in and got them without the knowledge
of the school authorities.

TO CURE INTEMPERANCE.
The Work of the Local woman Christian
Temperance Union

Perhaps but few people know Of a
work which is going on in this city un-
der the auspices of the Woman's
Christian Temperance Union.
Last May this organization in CO.
operation with DR.. Ripley, took up as
one liue Of their work the Hutchin's
cure for alcoholism, mot gold cure.)
While not ali absolutely free cure to
all, none are ever denied its benefits
because Of their present inability to pay
The W. G.. t. q. always when nee
essary advances the money to pay for
the medicines, and with Dr. Ripley,
who administers the treatment for an
almost nominal sum, trusts to the honor
and manhood Of the patient to as soon
as possible make payment, so that 9TH
ers may again in turn be benefited
thereby.
The cure has been furnished to seven
men and two more are ready to COM
mence as soon us the medicines arrive.
In no instance has there been any bad
results arising from the cure, but all
who have taken it have been greatly
pleased with it's operation, as they have
been able to continue their business the
same as if they were not under treat
ment.
1t is not claimed for this or any other
treatment that the person taking it
cannot again become Incorporate. On
the contrary total abstinence is abso-
lutey essential in every instance, as
one who has once been a hard drinker
can never become Il moderate drinker.
In the name of suffering humanity
the w. G. t. q. appeals to friends and
physicians OF those who may take this
cure to help them to retain the man
hood they have regained, and in case Of
illness to exhaust every other known
remedy before taking the terrible risk
of prescribing alcoholic remedies.
All particulars about this cure may
be learned from either DR.. Ripley or
any member of the Union, and all
communications are kept strictly con-
fidential.
