MRS, CHADW|CK'S DEFEAT.
Those Milk Punches and That
Pull Are Parts of Another
Story.
DIRECTOR BARRETT's TRICK.
How Director Henderson Inno-
Gently Made Mrs. Chadwick's
Daughter Janitress.

School Director Hende rson has been for
week going about complacently reward
ing his conscience by reviewing the gallant
and victorious battle he made in the
school board to have Mrs. Chadwick, who
makes such fine milk punches at the bar
in her little road-house, discharged from
the janitorship of the school.
For the same length of time Director
Emmett P. Barrett has been going about
complacently chuckling. In fact it really
is rather funny.
Mrs. Chadwick was certainly "fired" at
the last meeting of the board and Mrs.
Claire was elected to the vacancy. Di-
rector Henderson is violently opposed to
any relationship of milk punches to the
schools and says that if he had his way no
teacher would be allowed to eat at table
where wine is served. So when the Grand
Jury so vigorously condemned the presence
of a roadside resort next door to school,
and the hiring of its owner as janltress,
Henderson took up the fight.
For long time that occult but powerful
"pull" of the genius of the milk punches,
that Director Scott declared were fine,
seemed to be invincible, for most of the Di-
rectors favored Mrs. Chadwick, but Di-
story of Mrs. Chadwick 8 defeat.
Just before the last meeting was called
the School Directors were loafing about a
committee-room, when Director Barrett,
! who has been one of Mrs. Chadwick s
| friends in the board, asked OF Director
Hawley, What's the paper that Hender-
son is passing around"
'That's another resolution dismissing
Mrs. Chadwick, said Hawley.
Chow many votes has he gOtH"
"Seven."
| That was a majority, of course.
Tell him to bring it over and III sign
| it," said Barrett.
| Hawley told and Henderson came.
'iAhl | thought you'd come around to
| it, said Henderson. "It's burning
shame"
eyes, thought I'd sign it," saidEBar-
| rett, as he read it.
''Who is this Mrs freedom that you are
going to put in?" asked Barrett.
''Oh, she's a poor, deserving woman that
! lives out there, and some of her friends
wanted me to put her in, replied Hen
| derson.
well, now, I know poor, deserving
woman out there that I'd like to see in, q
| said Barrett.
"Does she live close by?'
''Within a block" said Barrett, as he
boldly scratched out Freelon and put in
| "Claire."
"Well, don't care" said Henderson,
gratifed at Barrett's conversion, call l
want is to get Mrs. Chadwick out"
So Director Henderson later presented
his resolution and it was adopted by a
good majority. Then Mrs. Chadwick was
out. She can no longer draw $40 a month
to exc out her profits on milk punches.
"Who is this Mrs. Claire?" was asked OF
Director Barrett yesterday.
''Oh," said Barrett, 'she's Mrs. Chad
wick's daughter, and lives with her. But
don't tell Henderson,; he doesn't know
! it yet"

and with Dan Burns, Nose Gunst and Sam
Ralney in the background, nobody could
do business in town without consulting
the bosses. 1t is plain proposition that
Buckley is in politics for the next cam
paign, and he counts on the support of
Burns, Gunst and Rainey. He knows that
it is good politics 10 keep out of sight as
much as possible now, and to spread the
impression that he has nothing whatever
to do with the Occidental Club but one
who observes closely and looks below the
surface will see the workings of Buckley
plan. OF course the plan NAV be changed,
but the purpose is fixed. Buckley is in the
game OF politics, and is playing for big
stakes.'
The temperance of Buckley in local
politics in the form of the so-called Occi-
dental Club in his house on Stockton
street has drawn attention to certain fea-
lures of Buckeyes political life that have
not yet disappeared. One of the promi-
nent characters at the Occidental Club
gathering was fleet" Maloney, an old
and well-known lamb. Feet" Maloney
has earned his name by leading Boss Buck
ley about the City at all times of the day
and night. Buckley does not pay him for
that-that is, not directly. Maloney re-
ceives salary OF $3.50 month from the City
and County of San Francisco, ostensibly as
mortgage clerk in the Office of Recorder
Glynn, but he is seldom to be found there
shutting mortgages. Some spitefully say
that he never goes there, but that is not
true, for there is political business to be at
tended to there occasionally as there is in
other departments of the City government,
and besides, Mr.. Maloney must needs
show up at least once month to arrange
for his stipend. He may be found steering
around town the author of his political
being to the various places where that
author does politics. He is not
doing exactly the work for which
under the law he is drawing pay,
but then Buckley is superior to the law
and can arrange such little matters.
Everybody remembers the days when
deputy sheriffs and others in the employ
of the City used to pillow Buckeyes vine
yard at Livermore and build houses for
him. So Buckley cannot see that the old
days are gone entirely, and he does not see
why the City should not pay man $500 a
year to act as his feet and messenger.

ereigns idea is not a bad one.
John Nance of Montana expressed his
pride in seeing Englishmen OF California
taking so much interest in the order.
Although many of the members had lett
Montana during the slump in silver, still
there was present increase IN the MEM
bership in many of the lodges.
f. d. Brandon of San Francisco told
story illustrating the necessity OF cohesion
and continued:
l see no good reason why we should not be
more friendly with each other in business and
politics, as we'll as in social affairs. You have
heard of the Irish vote, the German vote, and
you may soon hear of the Japanese vote. But
if you should mention the English vote you
make men smile. We might take shy at
politics. The English Government cannot be
benefited by our declination to take an interest
in the Government of the United States. We
do great deal of 81 umbling at things that are
wrong-the Solid Eight, for instance. Then
why do we not get in and help change things
that are wrong?
Mr.. Brandon concluded with urging an
improvement in the order.
A. w. G.. Gibbs of Alameda said it gave
him pleasure to meet brothers from all
over the country, and hoped to see new
lodges established in all parts of the
globe-including London.
Edward Oliver, grand secretary. said:
During he last few weeks there have been
two new lodges established in London. They
are turning over the old Conservative clubs
into the Order of the Sons of st. George. II
they can get the Marquis of Salisbury, Glad
stone and the Prince OF Wales we will get the
rest of them. Alodge will likely De established
in South Africa, and efforts are being made
also in Australia.
Mr.. Oliver urged change in the laws of
the order so that Scotchmen and WEIGH
men may be admitted as members, and
also those descendants of England who
are now debarred by birthplace from en-
joying the advantages and being permit
ted to support the Order of the Sons of St.
George.
Herbert Jones, the new grand treasurer,
said that the delegates would have to wait
for two years to learn whether or not he
will make faithful grand treasurer. He
disagreed with Mr.. divers broad ground
of membership.
About midnight DIR. Josiah Sims of Ne
vada City, the present grand president, and
William George, Mayor of Grass Valley,
the incoming grand president, arrived and
were royalty welcomed. Songs and re-
freshments finished up the programme.

BUGS FOR FAR SAMOA.
Mrs. Robert Louis Stevenson Will Ship
Predaceous Insects to Her
Plantation.

Plantation.
Mrs. Robert Louis Stevenson, who is yet
in the City, is going to ship a lot of bugs
to her late home in Samoa.
Mrs. Stevenson wants an assortment of
the Australian ladybirds and other preda-
tory insects that the State Board of Horti-
culture has found to be so efficacious in
destroying species of scale and other fruit
pests. On the big plantation that the
novelist established in beauty amid
Samoan jungles. there are acres of coffee,
orange, mango and other tropical fruit
trees, and they are being ruined by SCALE
When Mrs. Stevenson called on Secre-
tary Lelong and Entomologist Craw at the
Horticultural Bureau she had no speci-
mems of her pests with her, and from her
descriptions they seemed to he different
from the species here. So Mrs. Stevenson
cannot find out just what is blighting her
mangoes and oranges, but she will ship to
her plantation colonies OF all the kinds of
predaceous insects which she will get from
the Horticultural Bureau. They will be
turned loose to see if any of them will eat
any of the pests down there.

AFTER THE DRYDOOK COMPANY,
James j. Couzins Wants Damages for
Infringement of His Patent

James J. Couzins wants to recover $50
600 damages from the California Drydock
Company, and with that end in view has
begun suit in the United States Circuit
Court. In his complaint the plaintiff says
he is the owner of a patent by which a
floating dock is raised and lowered by
means of buckets. The defendant has ap-
Piled the device in the dock it has Just
built, and now Couzins wants a restrain
ing order and the above amount of dam

The case will come up for argument in a
few days, and considerable interest has
been evinced in the outcome by shipping
men, because if a temporary restraining
order is granted it will prevent the dock
ing OF vessels until the case is decided.

A One Sided Joke.

A party Of merrymakers, not a
thousand miles from the electric
light plant, met at the house Of a
prominent railroad man last night
in masquerade costume for a social
time. After their departure the
wife Of the railroad man thought she
would continue the masquerading
business and surprise her husband.
A few minutes after he reached home
the door bell rang and on opening it
he was confronted by a colored man
who cnquired for physician and re-
quested that one Of the children 60
with him to the doctors house. As
the colored man acted suspiciously,
he refused, whereupon the colored
man assumed Il threatening attitude.
Then the railroad man went for the
supposed colored man and wiped up
the floor with him and was only
checked in his summary proceedings
by the children screaming, "Oh papa,
it's mamma! it's mammal" 1t is not
necessary to add that "mamms" is
wearing two black eyes and has
sworn of on masquerading.

TRIED TO GET TOO MUCH.
George Anderson's Eagernsss Cost
Him an Office.

There is such thing as being too
greedy in this world and George An
derson knows it. The Republicans
when they nominated Mace King for
register made it only for the long
term considering that there is no
short one-as there is not. Some
wanted to nominate her for a short
term anyhow in case Of doubt. But
it was not done.
The Pops on the other hand thought
they saw great chance for scoop
and an opportunity to take two
months Of Office from woman and
her widowed mother. 1t was 4
brave ~ manly (p) ambition but it
o'erleaped itself.
Being the only one nominated for
the short term, Anderson's name
stood out very prominent in the
midst Of a wide blank space for that
term and great many voters all
over the county marked his name
only for that term and not for the
long term. Probably more than
enough did this to defeat him. In
one township there were eleven bal
lots SO marked. Mr.. Anderson claims
that he was not responsible for the
placing of his name thus but lays it
to the Pop central committee. At
any rate it caused his defeat and
three months Of hard work are
wasted.
