CIGAR-MAKERS' APPEAL.
Five Substantial Reasons Are Given
Why the Public Should Buy
Homemade Cigars.

Five reasons are given to the public in
the appeal of the Cigar-makers' Union for
home patronage and the recognition of the
new blue label. The appeal was formu-
lated by President Burns and Secretary
Van Guelph, and bears fac-simile of the
label, cut of which THE CALL has already
published.
1t is straight to the point and argues
that, first, consumers annually send $780,
600 to $500, 900 out of the State by purchas-
ing EasterD-made cigars; second, Eastern
made goods are inferior in quality to the
homemade cigar of the same price; third,
if California-made cigar costs no more II
should have the preference; fourth, by
purchasing home products employment IS
given to home labor, enabling the con-
sumner to profit by the patronage resulting
from employed labor, and fifth, if only the
blue-label cigars are purchased the num-
Der of cigar-makers in this State Will in
crease to 300U at least.
Fifty thousand copies of the appeal are
being printed for distribution.

LOST HER DOC AND COIN,
Mrs. Sadie Stones Pet SWaI-
lowed a Ten Dollar Gold
Piece.
She Charges Warren Hunter, One
of Her Roomers, With Stealing
the Animal.

Warren Hunter, printer, is wanted by
the police on peculiar charge. He
roomed in the house of Mrs. Sadie Stone,
7 Crook street. Mrs. Stone owned fox
terrier, which had been trained to catch
money in its mouth and other fancy tricks.
On Monday night Mrs. Stone was pre-
pairing to go out to pay her months rent,
and she laid the money on table while
she put on her bonnet. Among the coin
was a $40 gold piece. The fox terrier
Jumped upon the table, and to her horror
she saw it pick up the $40 gold piece from
the table and calmly swallow it.
She was frantic with grief and indigna-
ton at the disappearance of the $40 gold
piece and bewailed her loss to her room
ers. Mr.. Hunter listened among others to
her story, and that night he disappeared
and the fox terrier disappeared at the
same time.
Mrs. Stone appeared in Judge Lows
court yesterday and declared that she had
ascertained that Hunter had stolen the
fox terrier, and she was afraid he would
kill her pet to get possession of the $40
gold piece it had swallowed.
out warrant for Hunters arrest on the
charge of petty larceny for stealing the fox
terrier.
81 don't care so much" said Mrs. Stone,
s'for the $40, although I cannot afford to
lose it, but I want my dog back and 1
mean to have it. Hunter was going to
leave my house, anyhow, and he took all
his things away with him. l don't know
where he has gone to live, but l hope the
police will be able to find him, and if he
has killed my dog will make him suffer

INSPECTED THE THEATERS,
Labor Commissioner Fitzgerald Reports
Upon Their General Condition.

Labor Commissioner Fitzgerald Reports
Upon Their General Condition.
Labor Commissioner Fitzgerald and
Deputy Dam yesterday made an inspec.
ton Of the theaters, with a view of look
ing into their sanitary condition and other
matters bearing upon the health and
safety of the employees of these places OF
amusement. They made the following
report:
Standing at the head is the Columbia
Theater, which, in sanitary condition, fire
exits, etc., is a model.
The California, Baldwin and Alcazar are
not far behind in this respect.
The Grand Opera-house is reported to
possess inferior sanitary conditions. The
fire escapes are good.
The Tivoli Opera house is an old build
ing, and it is dirty. The sanitary condi-
ton is fair.
The Orpheum could be cleaned to q
great advantage. The staifways used by
the employees are steep and dangerous to
life and limb.
The Imperial Theater, in the old Union
Hall on Howard street, is in poor condi-
ton; but the proprietor has only recently
obtained possession of the property, and
he has been at work making repairs.
Wherever the labor officials discovered
Objectionable features they recommended
that alterations be made at once. The
theater people promised to act upon the
directions promptly.

WAR ON THE COMBINE
Desperate Efforts Made to

Into Line.
INCREASED INITIATION FEE.
The Wholesalers Schemes May,
However, Meet With Firm
Resistance.

When coal men combine consumers
must associate. The public of San Fran
cisco is patient and long suffering but the
people will resist when oppression becomes
too grievous.
The latest thing in the shape of a public
cinch is a combination OF wholesale coal
dealers to force every retailer INTO COM
pact, which means the death OF compeu-
ton, to crafty the greed of the trust.

the proposition clear to the householders
of this City. For the sake OF convenience

THE ASSESSMENT LIST.

Assessor Siebe Expects to Have 1t Com
pleted by This Afternoon.
The last work is being done on the as
sessment list. Assessor Siebe expects to
have the work finished by this afternoon
at the latest.
"The list will be of about the same
amount as last year." said Mr.. Siebe yes
terday. "There will be a loss of about
100000 on the personal property list.
This, however, will be made up by the i'm
provements on real estate.
The decrease in the personal property
list IS occasioned by the settlement of sew
eral large estates. BY the distribution of
the Fair estate 1880, OS1 in cash and bonds
was sent to New York. The Stanford es-
tate is also about $500 900 less. There have
also been large number of other losses
that have been counterbalanced by several
new estates.
The increase of the real estate list
comes almost entirely from the buildings
that have been put up in the last year"

NATIONAL CONVENTION.
Many Leading Republicans Writing Mr..
Estee in Favor of Meeting Here
Next Year,


Mr.. Estee's mail shows that the mem
bers of the National Committee of the
Republican party take lively interest in
the question of holding the next convention
in San Francisco. Speaking of this yes
terday he said:
A large number of leading men like General
Clarkson and Senator Carter of Montana all
favor San Francisco, but say that as times are
to place the convention where it will have
three weeks to go and perform the duties of
delegates, and, therefore, they are afraid that
there will be strong business objection but
not q political one against coming to this
State. Politically they think 1t is the thing to
do, both for the good of the party and of the
country. They say that this much is owed to
California and the far West. For myself, do
not give up the fight. think that we have
the National Committee have written that they
will be out here this fall and will meet our
people and see what can be done. OF course
you know that, rule, the gold people of
New York and New England are against hold-
ing the convention in what they cali the far
West. But all the members of the committee
west OF the Mississippi are with us and num-
Der East. ] am informed that Sam Fessenden
of Connecticut and Joseph Manly OF Maine,
both members OF the committee. have expressed
themselves very favorably toward holding the
convention here, but will not pledge them
selves at this early date. General Alger would
like to see the convention come here, provided
that the business interests of the delegates will
not be impaired.
Senator Elkins of West Virginia has written
that it ought to come West If practicable.

clad regulations that no dealer can live
that does not come under the yoke.
Herein may come blessing in disguise.
The people may conclude that submission
has gone far enough and resistance should
be invoked. There is an excellent pros
pect that American ships flying the Ameri-
can flag will bring American Goals in such
quantity to San Francisco that life can be
endured without Wellington in short tons.

course followed by them. The essential
elements of a good charter are embodied
in four general principles: The admins
rrative power must be centralized in
single responsible head; the various de-
partmehts must be taken away from semi
independent boards and vested in heads
of departments appointed by and respon-
81 BILE TO the Mayor; the common council
must be made a purely legislative body,
and the distribution of subordinate offices
as party patronage must be abolished.
1t is along these lines that the charters
of Brooklyn, Boston. Chicago and Phlla-
delphia have been framed, and where
there has been no deviation from the
principles, they have worked we'll. The
general trend of all reform charters of
late has been in the direction Of central
ization, and as the author of the report
says: "As the matter stands. a central
lied government at its worst cannot be as
bad as our present system, and is likely to
be infinitely better"

AROUND THE CORRIDORS.

s. p Ely OF Santiago de Cuba is at the Pal
ace. He spent five years on the island In the
service Of the SpanishAmerican Mining Com.
pany. of which he was an official. and is well
posted as TO the material characteristics of the
country. He says that every interest In the
island is suffering from the abrogation of the
reciprocity treaty with Spain. by which the In
haDitants OF the island secured American
meats, vegetables and manufactured iron,
among other things. free of duty. The popu-
lation, he thinks. never lived as we'll as
it did under the operation OF that act.
Annexation to the United States is a popular
sentiment there. he states,sand IL put to vote
now would receive the support OF nlne-tenths
OF the Inhabitants. Mr. Ely has been visiting
Calaver as County, where he has an interest in
the old Boston mine, In BucEeye Gulch three
miles from Mokelumne Hill. He has perfected
arrangements with the other owners by which
lie will explore the mine and do some work in
it, which may pave the way for reopening the
property, which has now remained idle for
fourteen years.
