Outing at Schuetzen Park

An ideal day, large attendance and not

annual picnic of the Dry Goods Mems AS
ISOLATION one of the most pleasant affairs
that has taken place at Schuetzen Park,
San Rafael, for some time past.
The racetrack had been specially pre-
pared by Captain Fred Schuman, and in
consequence some good time was made in
the footraces. The merry-go-round was

were number of rings, one of which W as
brass. The man who succeeded in gettinp
the brass one was gwen a free ride.
President We'll, Vice-President Johann
sen and Treasurer Bowman all tried their
luck, but the small boys always managed
to secure the brass ring after the dry-
goods men had worked hard to get the
iron ones off the hook.
Inc games brought out some very close
contests, but the young mems race caused
discomfort The first prize was barrel of
beer and the second a box of cigars. The
winner OF the first heat was declared to he

NEW ELECTION BOARD,
Mayor Sutro Will Appoint
Commissioners on
July
ARE NUMEROUS CANDIDATES.
Old and Young Men OF the Highest
Character to Be
Named.

Mayor Sutro was interviewed yesterday
regarding the appointment of Election
Commissioners under the new law. He
said:
shall appoint the commission July 1 and
will name two Democrats and two Republicans
OF high character and good standing in the
community No, will not su bmit the names to
the Democratic or Republican State Central
committees before making the appointments.
will appoint men whose political affiliations
are SO well known that there can be no question
as to their party fealty. 1 mean by this that
the two Democrats will be well known as
stanch: adherents of that party, and the other
two will be Republicans whose fidelity to their
party cannot be doubled. L think my appoint
ments will be acceptable to the State COM
mitteeS. regard this duty as one of the most
important devolving upon me.
There are an immense number of appli-
cants and hundreds of letters of Endorsement
have been filed with the applications
The report that intend to ignore young
men and select only venerable gentlemen of
advanced age is not correct 1 shall appoint
some young men and some old men.
A well-known Democratic leader, who
has the reputation of getting inside in
formation with more than ordinary ac
curacy, predicts that Joseph Denman,
Frank ]. Sullivan, Albert E. Castle and
Samuel Foster will be named by Mayor
Sutro.
Among other candidates whose claims
have been presented with some vigor are
L. R. Ellert, John DAILY, James Nealon and
ex-Fire Commissioner Parsons. 1t is al
most a sure thing that Albert K. Castle
will be named as Republican Commits
sioner, because the Mayor said not long
ago that he would recognize the Union
League Club, and Colonel Castle has the
confidence and support of that institution.
II the Republicans named, for example,
do not prove acceptable to the State Cen
trail Committee of that party. the commit
tee, according to law, must certify to that
fact within sixty days. The same privilege
is of course extended to the Democratic
State Central Committee with reference to
the Democrats named. Thereupon the
Mayor failing to please the political powers
on the first trial will be permitted to try
again.
The salary of the Commissioner is only
$3.50 per annum. What the position lacks
in emolument it is supposed to confer in
homer.
According to the ideas of more than one
well-read lawyer. the whole law is uncon-
stitutional, and when test case is sub
mitted the Supreme Court will decide to
return the present Election Commissioners
and the Registrar of Voters The test may
come next August, when July demands

TWO TRAMP STUDENTS.
q. S. Hughes and L. E. Beers Walk
From Los Angeles to Berke-
Law.

Ural s. Hughes and Louis E. Beers,
young studen is from Los Angeles, arrived
in this City yesterday, travel worn and
dusty, having tramped the entire distance,
500 miles, between the two cities. The
time consumed was fifty-two days.
The young men are bound for the State
University at Berkeley, which they will
reach to-day.
They had two objects in making this
long tramp on foot-to see the country and
to perform missionary work for the Young
Mems Christian Association, of which or
ganization they are members, and they de-
1ivered addresses in every town along the
route where there are Y M. G. A. branches.
The students reached Santa Cruz in time
to be present at the water carnival and
participate in the parade. At that place
they were presented with banner for
their missionary work. They had two
odd companions on their journey, dog
and a big brass saddIe-back rooster. Upon
arriving in town yesterday they presented
themselves at Y. M. c. A. headquarters
and took part in the afternoon and even
ing services

The fiftieth anniversary of the entrance

the success of which a host of personal
friends combined in hearty endeavor.
1t was such celebration as st. Ignatius

TALKED OF THE MORMoNs,
Elder C1app Addresses a Gath ering on
the Doctrines OF the Divided
Churches.


Elder J. c. Clapp of the Reorganized
Church of Christ of the Latter Day Saints
delivered an interesting address last even
ing at Red Mems Hall upon the differ
ences which exist between the organization
of which he is a member and the Mormon
church in Utah. Elder Clapp has been
identified with the reorganized church for
a score of years. Until recently his work
had been of the missionary order IN Hawaii
and he is now about to assume direction of
the missions in Oregon and Washington.
The address was of the crisp and decisive
sort and merited the appreciation it secured
from the several score of auditors. Mr.
Clapp prese nted the Book of Doctrine and
Covenants which was accepted by the
Mormon church in 1885 in general as
sembly as its rule of organization and con-
duct. From this work the speaker read
extracts intended to show that the worship
of the true God was a necessary article of
Mormon faith and that polygamy was
strongly prohibited. He also referred to
the Book of Mormon to indicate the oppo-
sition to polygamy which was an article OF
the original doctrine and has been he said
violated by the church in Utah.
at was understood" continued Elder
Clapp, THAT Joseph Smith, the son of the
founder of the church, was to succeed his
father in the presidency, but Brigham
Young usurped the authority and led
away part of the church to Utah, where
the practices of idolatry and polygamy
were made articles of the new doctrine"
Mr.. Clapp then proceeded to prove that
polygamy formed no part of the original
doctrine and contended variously that the
recognized church, of which Joseph
Smith, the prophets son, is the leader is
the true Mormon church. This reorgan-
lied body was formed in 1858. 1t has its
headquarters at Lamont Iowa, and num-
bers something like 40 GOO followers with
missionaries at work in all parts of the
word.

BARBEE'S INFATUATI0N.
His Proposed Marriage With George
Grant of Vallejo Is Not Sol
emniZed.

James Barbee works on a ranch about
ten miles from Vallejo. He saved up his
money and few days ago went to Vallejo
to enjoy himself. He met George Grant,
a young woman who was an inmate of the
floating palace and became infatuated
with her. He proposed marriage and was
accepted. George wanted to be married in
this City and she and Barbee, accompanied
by a lady, arrived here on Saturday night
and engaged rooms in lodging-house on
kearny street.
Yesterday morning when Barbee awoke
from his slumbers he found that his clothes
had been searched and all his money,
amounting to $500, was missing. Inquiries
led to the discovery that George and her
lady friend had disappeared and he came
to the conclusion that they had stolen his
money.
He reported his loss to the police and
yesterday morning Policemen Wren and
Mcmahon arrested George on Washington
street while she was waiting to leave on the
Stockton boat. She was taken to the City
Prison and charged with grand larceny.

Of the rows, so that the man who comes
along TO take it up can do so without using
his tngernails for a rake. In picking up
the corn We do not use a low wagon, but
an ordinary high one, and one man loads
and unloads his own wagon. We have four
men in the field-the cutter, loader and
two 'pck-me-ups." A great deal depends
upon careful loading.
Get the driver 10 lead his wagon seven

moisture on the top of the slo will quickly
develop fine mold which is better than
anything else by way of preserving that

10 bushels of enslage by the molding, and
that costs less than would days work
