All Over, Who Got Lost in the
Fog, Was the Only Favorite
Beaten.
SIR PLAY WAS FULL OF RUN.
Pepper Had Too Much Class About
Him for His Company in the
Handicap.

Four straight favorites won at Ingleside
Yesterday, but Willie Martin managed to
finish second with All Over, on which q
ton of money was played to win the last
race, and the talents gains all went back
to the bookles again, supplemented by a
few additional dollars.
The downfall of rain during the night
left the track in sloppy condition. A
heavy mist settled over the course toward
nightfall, totally obscuring a view of the
horses i'll the last race and partially so in
the two preceding races.
The attendance was good and the bet
ting spirited. even though Riley Grannan's
familiar figure was missed from the ring.
Willie Martin carried off the Jockey
honors, riding two winners and once finish
ing second.
Backed down from AZ to to twos, Red

race, over seven furlongs, in a drive from

third.
Our Maggie held sway in the betting for
time on the next race, a mile selling dash,
but finally gave way to Basso. who went to
the post a 7-to-5 favorite. Roma held a
slight advantage over the favorite for
something over half the distance, when
Bergen gave him his head and he romped
in the easiest of winners, five lengths be-
fore Our Maggie.

Hugh Jones, whose luck of late seems
to have undergone change for the better,
quit $500 ahead on the day. He took hard
fall out of All Over, and had Roma finished
first would have added a few thousands
more to his bank account.
Riley Grammar, who is now said to be
about $50, 900 behind the game, took va
cation yesterday and did not appear at
the track. To-day's fine card will proba-
bly, find the plunger on deck again.
The well-known turfman, r. Van Brunt,
will sell a fine-looking weanling, half
brother to his good performer Cabrillo, at
the conclusion of the sale of the yearlings
owned by the estate of Colonel II. 1.
Thornton Tuesday evening next. The
youngsters sire is imp. Friar Tuck, whose
get show such world of speed, and from
such good mare as Lizzie Hampton, can
hardly help being 'crackajack."
Had Garner on E. II. Shirley in the
opening race kept in close to the rail in
stead of turning wide into the stretch and
taking the outside of the track, in all like
Ehood his mounts number would have
been hoisted over that of Red Glenn.
The feature of the card to-day is the
Horse Show Association stakes for two
year-olds at seven furlongs, worth $500 to
the first horse. The race seems a very
open betting one, and pretty contest is
looked forward to.

HER PER|LOUS PASSAGE,
The British Ship Reliance Came
Here Via the Cape of
Good Hope.
She Was Caught in Three Heavy
Hurricanes and Her Cargo
Shifted Twice.

Two hurricanes encountered, whole suits
OF sails blown away, yards by the board,
cargo shifted and man killed, is the rec
ord of the eventful voyage of the British
ship Reliance, which arrived from Swansea
yesterday.
After making several attempts to round
the Horn. Captain Robinson gave it up in
disgust and cleared away for New Zealand,
finally reaching San Francisco by the way
of the Cape of Good Hope. During her
long run the good ship covered 25, 276
knots, at an average speed of six and a
half knots an hour which is a remarkably
good showing when all the circumstances
are taken into account.
"We left Swansea on June q last" said
Captain Robinson yesterday. "Off Cape
Clear we had a heavy gale, during the
course of which our cargo shifted. The
storm only lasted twelve hours, and then
we set to work to trim ship. After that all
went well until we were off the River
Platte, where a hurricane struck us. The
sails were blown out of the bolt-ropes and
everything movable ON deck was washed

the skip took heavy list. | saw that we
were in dangerous predicament so | put
the ship before the wind and after trim
ming the cargo | ran down the casting as
lar as tne SOuUn coast OF New Zealand.
"Our troubles were not all over, however.
A revolving hurricane caught us this time
and again our sails went flying away like
so many kites. The mercurial barometer
fell from 30.40 to 2S.40 and the aneroids
from 5000 to 2S40 The hurricane began
at north-northeast and lasted fifty-six
hours. During that time almost every
one of the crew was on deck ana it kept
one guessing to tell which direction the
wind would come from. After that expe-
rience we had fair weather to San Fran
cisco.

Lewis harrington, aged 20 years, was on
the mainyard attending to some work.
He made misstep, lost his hold or some
thing happened and he fell headfirst to
the deck. He lived for nearly thirty hours
and everything possible was done for him.
He never reeained consciousness after the
fall. We buried him at sea-"
In spite of her long passage and all the
rough weather she has gone through the
Reliance looks spick and span and Captain
Robinson is justly proud of his ship.

THE GARBAGE CREMATORY.
A. e. Williams Claims the Right to the
Franchise for 1t.

Franchise for 1t.
AS the result of an application made by
A. E. Williams last April for a franchise
to construct and operate garbage crema-
tory, the Board of Supervisors advertised
for bids for such franchise.
Mr.. Williams put in bid of $4,000 and
$28, 900 additional, to be paid In INSTALL
ments extending over period of thirty
five years, the proposed life of the fran
chise. He also stated that his charge to
the public for disposing of the garbage
would be Is cents a cubic yard.
Henry J. Lang also put in bid offering
$11O0 for the franchise and agreeing to
charge 20 cents per cubic yard for dispos-
ing of the garbage.
On the Both of September last the board
rejected both bids on the ground that the
advertisement for bids should have asked
charge to be made for disposing of garbage.
Mr.. Williams claims that he should have
been granted the franchise, as the statute
of March %, 1893, providing for the sale at
public auction of franchises, states clearly
and explicitly that the franchise, after it
had been properly advertised and offered,
must" be granted to the highest bidder
Last week the board advertised for new
bids for garbage crematory, and Mr..
Williams states that he will next week in
stitute proceedings to compel the board to
grant him the franchise in question and to
enjoin the board from granting it to any
other person, corporation or company.

race but ran disappointingly.

LOCAL LABOR UNIONS.
To Assist the Cause of the 700 Detroit
Cigar-Makers Out on
Strike.

The local Labor Council decided last
night to assist the cigar-makers of Detroit
that are out on strike because child-labor
has been employed in seven cigar factories
OF that city to the displacement OF 700 men.
William Strauss, president of Cigar
makers Union No. 80, presented the De-
troit case and as result of his remarks
committee consisting of T. +. Burns of the
Cigar-markers' Union, Harry Orr of the
Typographical Union and William Zahn OF
the Brewery Workmen's Union were ap-
pointed to confer with local firm that is
known to deal in cigars made by the Of
Tending factories.
Since June 6, when the strike was de-
clared, Strauss has been travelling over a
large part of the United States, speaking
before labor unions and applying to deal
ers and consumers, requesting them not
to purchase the Detroit cigars made by
the particular firms that are EMPLOYING
only child labor.
''The strike has been a long and per-
sistent one," said Strauss, land there has
been scarcely an individual of the hun
dreds of aggrieyed ones to relent during
the entire six months, and they are still
out.
SLOWLY but certainly the cigar-makers
saw that they were being discharged by
the eight companies, and they saw little
children, apparently about 10 years of age,
taking their places. When $50 men had
been discharged within few days the
union thought it time to declare strike
before they should all be on the street and
the effect of a strike lost. The National
Cigar Union upheld our action,
and it has stood by us and helped US tinan-
cially ever since we went out.
lone of the factories afterward acceded
to our demand, but seven are employing
little children at 80 cents week to do an
inferior grade of work at low price that
will make it possible to market much
cheaper article. The children have GER
tificates stating that they are IA years old,
but it is evident that many of them are
much younger. With the large families
of the unemployed poor every little
counts, and the children take the work,
not from choice but from necessity, for in
very many cases the children are doing
the work that the father formerly per-
formed at decent wages"
The international Furniture workers
Union has amalgamated with the Inter-
national Machine Woodworkers' Union,
and the new combination is known as the
Woodworkers Union and
embraces membership in America of
about $4,000 men, with National head
quarters in Chicago.

RUDOLPH SPRECKELS IS AGAIN ENJO|NED

but that when recalled as Mrs. Van Pelt
pictured them, added a feminine gentle
ness and pathos to this particular one OF
hundreds of lectures on the greatest war of
modern times
Mrs. Van Pelt's father was banker and
as was the custom then the bank was a
building adjoining the residence, The
preservation of the Government treasure
from the ever-eager guerrillas and the
strategy employed in the successful
hiding of the coin and bank notes
the life of suspense In which the Union
sympathizers lived. They were within
hearing distance of the guns of Fort
Donaldson, and yet it was a week before
they knew that the Union forces under the
young and until then little-known Grant
had been victorious.
A pathetic account was given of the con-
version of two churches in the little town
into TEN porary hospitals, and of some OF
the scenes enacted there by the wounded
and dying of both sides.
The whole lecture was illustrated by
stereopticon views from oil paintings,
made especially for the purpose by Arthur
Matthews, the well-known artist of this
City, and by some prominent Eastern
artists. All the landscape scenes were in
colors.
Portraits of The we'll known heroes of the
war were thrown upon the screen at inter
walls and the list was completed with
Grant, the silent man of destiny, and with
Abraham Lincoln, whom Mrs. Van Pelt
characterized as the greatest man OF
history.
During the evening patriotic selections
were sung by quartet in the gallery, and
the concluding piece was America" IN
which the audience united.

by a Powell-street car at the C orner of Ma
son and Jackson streets on Tuesday evening
last, died at the home of her daughter,

night last night.
The injuries Mrs. McAllister received
were pronounced probably fatal by DR..
Fitzgibbon when she was taken to the Re-
ceiving Hospital.
Both her legs were broken and she was
injured internally. Her sufferings were
intense, and as she was 50 years
of age she was unable to withstand the
severity of her hurts and the shock re-
ceived. Deceased was the widow of the late
G. W. McAllister and mother of
Mrs. Katie Kane, Mrs. Annie Aitken,
Mrs. NJ. Reiss, Mrs. F. Levy and
George w. McAllister. She was well

AN INSURANCE DEAL.
Rolla ". Watts Companies Drift Apart
and He Takes the Queen"

]. Montgomery Hare, the resident man
ager of the Norwich Insurance Union in
New York, has been in this City several
days in the interest of his company. His
visit has resulted in radical change
which will cause considerable surprise in
insurance circles. 1t has brought about
the disruption of two very important fire
insurance corporations on the Pacific
Coast after they had been united in busl-
ness for several years.
1t was announced yesterday through
him that the Norwich Union and the
Royal would part company, one of them
going out of Rolia V. Watts office, to be
replaced by the Queen Insurance Com
pany of America from the Office of Boyd
& Dickson. The Queen Company will then
be taken by Mr.. Watt.
The Norwich Union. the Royal, the
Queen and the Royal Exchange concerns
were formerly in pool in London which
held good in the United States, but re-
Gently this compact was broken and now
they will all continue in business indie

On October IL he again entered the place
and complained of the matter. Accord
ing to his story, Hare attacked him with
his fists andsalso threatened to brain him
with an ak. During the melee he lost
several teeth and was bruised and battered
until almost in a state of insensibility.
He sued for $3.50 damages for personal in
iuries, and as the defense OF O'Hare was
lar from satisfactory to Justice Groezin-
ger, before whom the case was tried, Gray
was given a verdict for the full amount,
with costs.

A Southern Minnesota Man Unconscious
for -Four Days.
SLEEPY EYE, Mimi, March 60
George Dillman, grain buyer at Golden
for the Eagle Mill company of New
Ulm, whose disappearance last Wednes-
day evening has been the cause of sew
eral searching parties being sent out,
but all without avail was found in a
semi.conscious condition under the hay
in his own barn, having lain in stupor
for three days and four nights. Mr..
Hanks Of Tracy, his brother-in-law,
was feeding the horses, and in tramp
ing on the hay seemed to partially
arouse Mr.. Dillman, who tried to
arise and thus made his presence known.
He was taken to the house, doctor
summoned and restoratives applied
After consciousness was restored Mr..
Dillman, though very weak from his
long fast, was able to talk little. The
last thing he remembers was that while
feeding the horses Wednesday evening
a benumbing paralytic feeling came
over him and he threw himself on the
hay, believing it would soon pass off,
and evidently burrowed in the hay un-
consciously.

Chesterfield and the Walls system.


It will be remembered that in the
days Of the great Lord Chesterfield walls
in London had reached such pitch that
it cost man of position or 10 guineas
merely to dine out. As he left the house
he had to run the gantlet of the butler
and underbutlers and half a dozen
footmen. One handed him his cane, one
his hat, another his gloves, a fourth his
coat, and so on, and so on, each expect
ing a crown in acknowledgment of his
services Lord Chesterfield saw that So
cial intercourse was being ruined, call
ed meeting of the chief people in the
world of fashion and got them to agree
to give nothing to the servants when
they dined out. It is true he was nearly
lynched by a mob of irate footmen, but
he carried bis point.
1t is said that at the present moment
there is tendency to. revive the odious
custom thus put down by Lord Chester
field, and that the masher has begun to
tip the men who put him into his great
coat after dinner. If that is so clear
case exists for common agreement not
to allow the infection to spread. Dining
out would become a more intolerable
burden than it is already if it also were
complicated by the question, ''What is
the least I can give without looking
mean?'-National Review.

Kissing of Stones.

Around the center of Jerusalem,
where the religious growths of centuries
gather like crystals around rod, half
sedentary, half floating population is to
be found, whose chief object is the pur-
suit of piety and the veneration of the
traces Of Jesus, the Nazarene. Here
is a world within a world, Christian
picture in Moslem frame. In this city,
where the religion of Mohammed, 10
centuries ago, overcame that Of Christ,
and where at present its followers pre-
vent the rival Christians from fighting
for the possession of the venerated spots,
we have a little area of ground which
has been arranged by the sects Of Chris
tianity to suit the brief descriptions of
the Testament, but in which no single
place exists that can be proved to have
been the scene Of the events ascribed to
it,
. All things which are offered for VEN
GRAFTON are venerated in this place Of
faith, where both native and European
Christians become seized with what 7
am constrained to term lithophilemat-
10 mania, since they are seen to be
constantly engaged in kissing enshrined
stones of the most doubtful authenticity.
