humble efforts. l have been making
political speeches for great number OF
years. have appeared in fourteen States
and seven Territories, yet never before were
my oratorical efforts so highly appreciated
as at the present moment"
The people saw the joke of Oglesby ap-
propriating Blaine's applause to himself.
A wave of laughter swept over that vast
audience and the adherents of old Dick
OgIesby made rush for the stage. Gath
ering him up bodily and capturing the
California eagle for the occasion, they car
ried him on their shoulders around the cor
ridors, taking path that had been beaten
smooth for them by the marching delegates
of New York, Illinois and California. 1t was
great stroke for Oglesby, and must have
gained him thousands of votes, for the
papers the next day were full of dis
cussions of his master play. 1 believe he
owed his election to that speech.
l am not inclined to go into statistics
and show you how many dollars each one
of those thousands of visitors would spend
and how much the total will be at the
end; that is to say, how much money will
be left in our City by the delegates and
their friends. The accession of foreign
coin will certainly be great. The excite
ment, the life, the hustle, the awakening
of the community will be something more
than wonderful. 1t will be sublime. 1t
will delight the members of the Half
Million Club and all other like organiza-
tons who wish to advance the interests of
the Pacific Coast. At the same time il
would be likely to cause number OF
silurians to die of heart disease. For the
blessings we are about to receive let US be
duly thankful. WELLS DRURY.

THE CLERICAL I'M POSTOR
F. H. SchwertZ Arrested in Sac
ramento and Will Be
Brought Here.
He Gained the Confidence of Rabbi
VorSanger and Several Promi.
nent Citizens.

Rev. F. II. Schwertz, the clerical i'm
poster, who passed worthless checks on a
number of grocerymen and others, has
been arrested in Sacramento.
Last night Chief Crowley received dis
patch from Captain Lees, who is in Sacra-
mento, that he had seen the article in yes
rested there. The Captain asked "Do you
want him?" and the reply was, eyes, send
him on"
Detective Seymour was busy all yester-
day searching for Schwertz. He learned
that Schwertz had on Novemb Der Is pre-
sented letter of introduction from Rabbi
Voorsanger to the Southern Pacific Rail
road officials and obtained an order to
their ticket agent on Market street for a
ticket to New York at half rates, the
usual terms for clergymen. He did not
present the order, but tried to negotiate it
with Greenwald Bros, the ticket agents on
Market street, last Sunday for $40.
He not only passed worthless checks on
the grocers on Haight street and other
streets in that hborhood, but in other
parts of the City. He represented himself
to some as connected with the synagogue
on Minna street, and to others with the
synagogue on Geary street. He was glib
rabbls in the City, and of several promi-
nent gentlemen members of their congre-
cations.
The full extent of his swindling opera
tions is not known, but it will, no doubt.
be considerable in the aggregate, as many
of those who received his worthless checks
will suffer the loss rather than come for
ward and file complaint against the I'M
poster.
The police say he is evidently clever
confidence operator, which is borne out by
his worming himself into the good graces
of Rabbi Voorsanger.

At meeting held by the stewards of the

decided to suspend Jockey A. Williams
and Trainer McNally of the horse Mon
tana, who made such a peculiar showing
in mile race on Tuesday. Circumstances
tend to show that fraud was intended, but
nothing was shown to connect the horse S
owner, Mr.. Woolman, in the matter and
he was exonerated from blame. The book
makers sheets were taken up and exam
ined, but nothing of suspicious character
was shown by them, and it is the opinion
of the stewards that the trainer was
'laying" for handicap.
There is a probability that Perhaps and
Caliente, the speedy two-year-olds, may
be brought together in match race at
four and half furlongs. William hurry,
the trainer of Caliente, stated last evening
that he thought J. E. Terry, the owner OF
the colt, would be perfectly willing to
match his horse, and, as Neil and Coney,
the owners of the other youngster, ex.
pressed their willingness to match the
brown gelding for any amount up to
$4,000, all that remains is to put up the
coin and set the date. Both are good
ones, and the winner would have to dc
some rapid travelling.

POOLING AWAY TIME.
Another Instance Of the Danger Of
PrOerastinatiOn.
An Interesting Story With the Bright
Side-LightS Of Truth Thrown
Vividly on 1t.

Reconstruction, or "The thief of time,'
as it is proverbially termed, certainly
works as much harm as any of the vices
which are more ommonly called to public
attention. The man of an inquiring turn
of mind is conscious of this, but the heed
less many think there is nothing much in
it. 1t has caused hundreds of men to fail
to keep business appointments which
might readily have resulted in fortunes
that have fallen to the lot of others who
have been more punctual, and the men
who keep criminal statistics say that those
unfortunates who appear to have 'drifted"
into vicious habits unintentionally are
almost all of them victims of this per-
nlcious habit. And even nature verifies
the truth of this assertion in a marked
way. II you have cold and you neglect
1t, 1t will not be surprising if it turns to
congestion of the lungs in mild manner
at any rate. If you have a bruised finger
and do not keep the air from it tester
may readily ensue; and so on. And when
we come to the more serious ailments
nervous diseases, for instance-the danger
OF delay in getting proper help is at times
most appalling IN its dreadful consequences
to the procrastinator. There is up in
Trinity County a gentleman who has a
very decided opinion on this point, for, to
use colloquialism, che has gone through
the mill" It is Mr. J. S. Bailey of Weaver
vile, who was suffering from a most severe
attack of nervous trouble when he applied
to the great specialists at that wonderful
curative establishment-the Hudson Medi-
cal Institute. Mr.. Bailey's opinion on
procrastination is clearly expressed in the
following letter, which he has seen fit to
write:
WeaverviIle, CAL. August 6. 1896
Hudson Medical Institute, San Francisco, Cal.
Gentlemen: will state that after two
months treatment with you feel fully restored to
health, and wish to express my gratitude to you
for your speedy aid / also wish to say that any
person who may be suffering from any nervous
disorders would be doing themselves actual injus-
tice and harm not to consult the Hudson Medical
S. ]. BAILEY.
That is short, crisp and true Every one
who consults these wonderful physicians
has the same sort of praise for them. Just
listen!
s. NJ. Hooker Of Los Angeles writes: 81 now feel
as though was cured and well man."
Frank Minturn of st. Louis, NO.: az have not

E. W. Fowler of Kamele, Or, says: 81 am feeling
as good now as it is possible for to feel"
K. c. Taft of Stowe, Cal, writes: 81 am feeling
fine without sign of disease now"
Truly the amount of testimony of this
nature which is received at the great
mecca for all the sick" would surprise
any one. Every mail brings letters of
thanks and appreciation, and it is now I'M
questioned that for all durable diseases
nowhere is there so certain a chance of
rapid and safe cure as at the grandesr of

Need Not Pay Overdrafts.

The suit of Mrs. Emma Zeltner, formerly the
wife OF John Wieland, against the executors of
the Wieland estate, has been concluded by a
verdict for the defendants. The suit arose over
the transfer of the Wieland Brewery to the
brewery syndicate formed in this City about
three years ago. The boys of the Wieland
drawn their allowances from the income from
the brewery, and they claimed tina Mrs. Vie
land, widow of John Wieland, the founder of
the brewery, had, in consideration of their
agreement to the transfer, promised to allow
the amount of their overdrafts. Mrs. Zeltner
was suing for the amount of her husbands
interest in the amount of the overdrafts, about
$4,000, but the jury sus tanned the executors
in their refusal to pay.
