The meat producers Of the coun-
try are growing more hopeful, the
large stocks are diminished and
the prices are going up steadily.
What about the meat eaters ? Is
the wage Garner increasing his
daily stipend to meet this rise, and
are the millions of unemployed in
this country any nearer job than
they were year ago? This is the
question that counts as much as
the other in settling this whole
matter Of prosperity. There is no
such thing as prosperity without
a prosperous laboring class.

San Antonio business Mems club
approve the holding of a fair in
this city this fall. Having en-
dorsed the project they consulted
and concluded that $4,000 would
be necessary to put the matter up
on it's feet in such a way as to in
sure success. The business and
capital Of this city will be called
upon to contribute this amount,
and it will pay more in the way
of returns than almost any other
outlay at present. 1t will be worth
its cost as an advertisement at this
time when outside investors are
looking the country over for loca-
tions for mills end factories. The
raising of a sum like this for such
a purpose ought not to take more
than a day, but will probably lin
ger along for month before it is
, decided. Waco raised $4,000 for
her cotton palace, and when it
was burned down put her hand in
her pocket and did it again. San
Antonio can raise that $4,000 and
not half try il she only says so

Rain Gambling in Calcutta.

Come down again to where old Chooni
Lall himself sits ss.legged-cheery,
genial and wrinkled. He is always glad to
see YOU. He never mentions a bet. You
ask the price, unable in the clamor of
tongues to hear and understand. He muir
murs six and half. Come, let us bet and
see how ii is done. Here goes for 10
rupees. The broker holds it up-more
shouting, more laughing, more fingers
held up. He tells you he has sold it at Z;
the price is rising. Supposing that it rains
between now and o'clock at night we
shall win rupees for every rupee OF our
stake, our own rupee making up Z, the
quoted price. Chooni Lall Will take an
anna in every rupee for brokerage. He is
already worth many laKns, for fortunes
are won and lost here every day in the
monsoon.
The very sugar-cane seller at the door,
who doles out sticks OF sugar cane at
pice, is worth thousands of rupees. You
can bet either way, for or against the rain,
for to-day or tomorrow or against any
fixed day, if you can find taker. You
can take your choice of the two periods of
hours from A. NJ. till noon, or from A. NJ.
till P. NJ. Of course, TO a man who bets
that rain will fall in the first period, far
longer odds are offered. 1t rarely rains,
even in the monsoon, between those hours;
and | have seen 400 to ! offered.
Rich men deposit large sums with
Chooni Lall-he is also banker-and lay
odds on the rain falling within certain
month. For the month on which the
monsoon usually breaks they lay and
to on the rain, and it would undoubtedly
be a very good bet. Brokers themselves
bet but rareIy-their brokerage pays them
but, of course, there comes often GER
tainty of winning by easy hedging. The
odds are not hard to foretell. Every bet is
sold in the open market and the price re-
corded The place is really sort of rain
exchange, and, as in the monsoon weather
it is constantly full, there is never any diff
ficulty in betting either way, supposing
you will be willing to take the current
price.-Cham bers' journal.

THE HALF-M|LL|ON CLUB
Work of Prom otion Reviewed
and Its Plans for the
Future.
State Board of Trade Wants 1t to
Prepare Lectures for
Atlanta.

A report of the work done by the Half
million Club since its organization was
read at the adjourned meeting of the exec
utive committee yesterday afternoon.
1t recalled the first gathering Of few
gentlemen at the Chamber of Commerce
on March g. and the plan adopted of excur
sions into the interior of the State.
The first excursion was to Los Angeles
on April Is, with stops at Merced and
Fresno on the way down. The motto on
that occasion was "a New United PRO
gressive California and the occasion was
most successful in stirring up enthusiasm
along that line. Max Meyberg, the di-
rector-general of the Los Angeles fiesta,
with 120 m EN- bers of the Gentlemen's Club
of that city, escorted the excursionists to
their headquarters at the Chamber of Com
merce there with procession over mile
long.
The Los Angeles convention was then
| held and Santa Barbara, Redlands, River
side and San Bernardino were visited. On
the return home frequent stops were made,
the receptions to the excursionists being
always enthusiastic.
Upon the return to this City a gen eral
meeting of the club was called at the
Chamber of Commerce, at which the fol-
lowing executive committee was elected:
c. E. Bickford, I. W. Hellman Jr., A.
Bouvier, II. E. Highton, W. NJ. Bunker,
J. D. Phelan, A. f. Castle, David Rich,
Hugh Craig, Louis Sloss Jr., H. ]. Crocker,
H. P. Sonntag, F. Dalton, F. w. Sumner
and f. G.. Voss.
This meeting was followed by one of the
executive committee, which elected II. J.
Crocker president, Frank Dalton vice
president, Alfred Bouvier secretary, and
|. w. Hellman treasurer. AT a subsequent
meeting the promotion committee, COM
posed of w. M. Bunker, L. G. Harvey, A.
Bouvier, A E. Castle and d. M. Carman,
and the local improvement committee,
composed of H. P. Sonntag, w. NJ. Bunker
and David Rich, were appointed.
The promotion committee has sub
mitted plan of work which is briefly out
lined as follows: Encourage formation of
improvement clubs in the interior; estab-
lish headquarters in Chicago; increase
markets for California fruits; inaugurate
carnival season; inaugurate series of
mountain excursions; establish a series of
excursions from Chicago as a center, and
establish monthly or quarterly publica-
ton.
Before the executive committee ad-
journed, yesterday afternoon, letter was
read from Secretary j. A. Filcher of the
State Board of Trade asking the club to
prepare series of lectures with stereop-
ticon illustrations, for Callfornia's exhibit
at the Atlanta Exposition. President
Crocker and W. NJ. Bunker were chosen
a committee to confer with the Board of
Trade on that matter.

The VALLEY ROADS GAIN,
Chief Locating Engineer Edes
of the Southern Pacific
Engaged.
WILL SUPERVISE THE ROUTE.
He Resigned After Finishing the
Coast Division Line to
Santa Barbara.

w. C. Edes, who for many years past
was the chief locating engineer of the
Southern Pacific Company under Chief
Engineer Hood, resigned his position
week ago to accept similar appointment
IN the engineering department Of the San
Francisco and San Joaquin Valley Rail-
way. He has already entered on the duties
of his new Office, where he is the first
assistant to Chief Engineer w. B. Storey.
His withdrawal from the Southern
Pacific Company was a source Of consider
able surprise to the numerous engineers,
draughtsmen and other employees of the
construction department, for he was re-
garded as man alone in his sphere of
locating new railroad lines. Even his col
leagues looked up to him as remarkably
talented engineer in this particular line of
the profession, and Mr.. Hood invariably
deferred to his Judgment in the selection
or locating" of routes, no matter what the
character of the land might have been.
The Valley road directors are therefore to
be congratulated on securing him to work
with Mr.. Storey in laying out the peoples
railroad through California.
Mr.. Edes is Boston man and gradu-
ate of the Massachusetts, Institute of Tech
nology. He worked for the Southern Pa
cifc Company as an engineer for sixteen
or seventeen years, and in that time, to
use the words of man who was inti-
mately associated with him, he earned the
reputation of being the best locating engin-
eer on the Pacific Coast. He located the
coast division road exclusively south of
San Luis Obispo to Santa Barbara, which
he had just completed before resigning.
His other locating work was the west-side
road down the San Joaquin Valley to Los
Banos, one which he also had charge of
constructing; the Santa Rosa branch, the
Capay Valley branch of thirty miles, the
Willows and Knights Landing branches,
long stretches of the Oregon-C California
Railway through the mountains, and
along the Sunset route in Arizona New
Mexico and Texas. There are also loca-
tions made by him for lines that are yet to
be built.
Who his successor will be has not been
determined and it is understood it will be
difficult to get an engineer who can take
his place.
He will have general supervision over
the routes of the Valley road with the title
of chief assistant engineer. Mr.. Storey
has all he can attend to and will have still

NOT A CHURCH MEMBER,
Meyer Strauss Dropped From
the First Congregational
Roll.
He Wrote a Private Letter That
Reflected on the Pastor,
Rev. c. 0. Brown.

The name of Deacon Meyer Strauss of
the First Congregational Church was
stricken from the roll of membership last
evening. Mr.. Strauss had written a private
letter to Miss Myrtle Simpson advising her
to stand stanch by the young peoples
society and oppose the pastor, G. O..
Brown, and Deacon l. II. Morse, who were
conspiring to become the "boss' of the
church and the auxiliary bodies.
The congregation held their breath while
the following resolution was read:
WHEREAS, A series of articles un nfriendly to
this church and apparently designed to stir up
dissention among its members, have recently
appeared in several newspapers of this City;
and whereas, this series eliminated in an arti-
Gle published i'll last Sundays Chronicle, the
subject of it being letter from one of our own
number member both OF the church and
standing committee, Mr.. M. Strauss, to young
lady Of the church, followed by the record OF
an interview between Mr.. Strauss and a re-
porter,
RESOLVED, That we cannot but express our
profound astonishment that any member of
this church, much more any officer of this
church, could have permitted himself to write

NEW ZEALAND SUBSIDY.
Object of Giving Bonus to the Cana
dian Line Is to Secure Semi
Monthly Service.


A dispatch from Wellington, New Zea-
land. states that the Government of that
colony has decided to subsidze line of
steamers to Vancouver, B. c., to the
amount of 100000. A bill has also
been introduced in the House of Repre-
sentatiyes there, proposing cooperation
with the Dominion Government in sub
marine cable project.
Regarding the proposed steamship SUBJ
sidy, H Stephenson Smith, resident agent
here for the New Zealand Government
said last night:
think the idea is simply 20 contribute to-
ward the Canadian steamship service and not
as the dispatch might indicate, to subsidlze
any independent line of steamers 1t will
not affect the San Francisco service at all. At
present the Oceanic line receives subsidies
from the United States, New Zealand and New
South Wales Governments, but no subsidy has
heretofore been paid to the Canadian line
The former line has the steamers Mariposa and
Alameda touching at Auckland, New Zealand
on the way to Sydney, and calling at Apia and
Honolulu both ways.
The steamers of the Canadian line running
between Australia and Vancouver, B. c., are
the Warrimoo and Miowera neither OF which
call at any New Zealand port.
The object of subsidiZing the Canadian line
is doubtless, to induce its steamers to call
there and thus secure semi-monthly service
with the San Francisco and Vancouver lines
alternating. | saw the Colonial Treasurer j
G. Ward, six weeks ago in Victoria, B. c., on
his way out from London, England.

CHA RGE OF MANSLAUGhTER.
Result of the Coroner's Inquest in the
JOhnstone Case.

Coroner Hawkins held two inquests yes
terday. The first was in the case of Daniel
J. Johnstone, who was shot and killed, as
alleged, by John J. Comerford with the
latter's barkeeper, William Wellman. as
an accessory. The tragedy occurred on
the oath inst, after II o'clock, at the corner
of Duncan and Dolores streets. 1t was
shown in the evidence that at the time
Johnstone was taking friend of his
named McMullen home, the latter being
intoxicated.
A stop was made at Comerford S saloon.
corner of Duncan and Dolores streets, and
it was then that the trouble occurred
Comerford, in his testimony, swore that
McMullen and Johnstone made such a
noise that both he and his barkeeper
thought that a gang of hoodlums were in
the vicinity, and as a result, Comerford
said he fired shot through the Duncan
street door OF the saloon, and his bar
keeper, Wellman, fired three shots through
the Dolores-street entrance. Wellman
corroborated the testimony of Conner
ford regarding the firing of the Shots
After hearing all the evidence in the
case, the jury returned a verdict which ser
forth that Johnstone came to his death
from the effects of gunshot wound in his
right lung, and that the shot was fired by
