parlor of Native Sons Saturday evening
was made III this City and was sent to the
capital last night. 1t is intended as sur
prise to the members of the parlor to which
it will be given.
AS a piece of artistic work it ranks
among the finest banners made in this
City, and it is the first hand-em broidered
banner manufactured on this coast.
Measuring 42x60 inches, with gold bull
lion embroidered letters on heavy white
silk, and silver bullion embroideries on the
yellow silk, gold fringes and tassels set
with rubies, emeralds, sapphires and anne
thysts, it is elegant without being gaudy.
The delicate gold fringes used were manu-
facsured In Europe expressly for this pur-
pose.
The front is of heavy white silk embroid-
cred in gold, and the draperies are of yell
low silk with silver substituting. In the
center there is scene representing the
bear-the emblem of the order-looking
down from a.bluff upon Suffers Fort. A
big OK team appears in the distance, cross
ing the plain which stretches away to the
Sierras beyond.
The reverse side is in heavy silk the hue
OF the California poppy, and the draperies
are OF white silk. In the middle there is a
mining scene at the source of the Sacra-
Inento River, Mount Shasta looming up in
the distance. Embroidered i'll silver let
tiers is the inscription:

delegation of workers. He knew that if
Chicago did not get the convention, the
strength controlled by that city would be
largely cast for San Francisco. list. Louis
failed the Missouri and Southern delegates
in sympathy with ST. Louis would favor
California.
Mr.. Booth mentioned that it was essen
tial for the honor of the State now, and in
order to secure preferment hereafter, that
a vigorous contest should be made to win.
People IN the East regard San Francisco as
a competitor for the prize. Should any
weakness be displayed now, the chances
for future success would be greatly dimin-
ished.
Charles NJ. Shortridge, who entered the
room as the discussion was in progress,
made an animated speech, wherein he de-
clared that the money could be raised to
defray the obligation which San Francisco
would incur. He was willing to trust the
enterprise and public spirit of California to
provide the means should the committee
select San Francisco. Replying to Mr..
Estee he expressed the opinion that sub
scriptions pledging $4,000 as a starter
could be secured in advance, and then if
the committee named San Francisco the
remainder of the 100000, and more if ne
cessary, could be raised. He did not en-
terrain the thought of failure. He was
not built on doubtful lines. He felt that
success could be achieved by proper effort,
and knew that the presence in California
of such leaders and speakers as Reed, Nc
Kinley, Allison, Depew, Ingersoll and 9TH
ers would inspire enthusiasm in the Re
publican party throughout the United
States. He mentioned the spacious Sutro
Baths building by the sea as magnificent
place for holding the sessions of the con-
vention.

SUIT OVER A SMOKE Bet
The Winner Demanded Coin
and Was Offered His
Own Note.
INTERCHANGE OF HOT WORDS.
Reason Joseph krauer Was De-
lighted When He Caught James
King Smoking.

s'I caught him smoking, and he owes me
$780, said Joseph Krauer to Justice of the
Peace Carroll.
"And I've got his note for 500, which
offsets his claim and makes it an even
break" retorted James H. King.
Then between them the young men
went on to explain to the court that last
April they made a bet of 500 that the first
one caught smoking by the other should
forfeit that amount. No money was put
up, but all sorts of VOWS and vigorous dec
larations were made to bind the agreement.
Krauer was the lucky man. King stood
the test for several months. then in the
solitude of his room he fell, and with
sigh of qualification he lit cigar. OF
course it was only question OF time then
when Krauer should catch him. 1t hap
pened on July 16. King was on the street
putting on the end of weed with great
vigor and delight when Krauer overhauled
him.
Caught" shouted Krauer, slapping
King on the shoulder and beaming in
ecstasy Cork over that one hundred,
please. I'll take it in twentiess, gold notes,
or any kindred coin at 16 to 1.
King changed color, hemmed bit, and
admitted he was caught.
Krauer laughed with Joy and again de-
manded the money.
King fenced a bit and said he ought to
have little time. He explained that
when he smoked he didn't GO around with
$500 in his pocket, prepared to hand it over
to the first man who caught him.
King went home to think over the matter.
When next the two men met King offered
Krauer the latter's 500, carrying ~ per
cent month. He had obtained the note
some months before.
This time it was Krauer's turn to blanch.
He declared he had won the bet honestly,
fairly and squarely, and he wanted 500
cash, not 500 in any l. o. o., even if it
were his own.
King very pertinently asked Krauer if
his l. 0. U. for 500 was not good for that
amount.
i A heated and acknowledgement argument
followed.
Krauer demanded cash. King would
give up nothing but the Krauer note.
"All right" concluded Krauer, "I'll sue
you for the money" And sue he did.
Justice of the Peace Carroll listened pa
tiently to the stories of both the indignant
men. He promised decision to-day.
The case hangs on law points. Bets i'll
most instances are against public policy
and courts Will not, tolerate them. No
money was put up in the present instance.
Besides it developed that no consideration
was given for the promissory note. Alto
gether the outcome looks something like,

WIangle, IAN even break"

the deficit, so he determined to remain in

the deficit, so he determined to remain in
the northern portion of the continent.
Soon after the election Van Guelpen con-
fided his troubles to some of his friends,
and at that time he thought that he would
have no difficulty in Borrowing money
enough to pay back what he had obtained
from the union. Then he thought for a
time of making clear statement of the
whole case at meeting of the union, rely
ing on the confidence of his associates in
his honesty, but he finally concluded that
1t would be better to get out of the way be-
fore making any such admissions, for he
knew that If proceedings against him were
begun 1t would be impossible to improve
the condition of his affairs.
Before he started away, Van Guelpen left
a written statement of the case for the
Clgar-makers' Union, he said in his let
ter to the friend alluded to, and that state
ment is locked up in the safe at the Office
in Metropolitan Temple building. The
books are there, too, but the money is all
gone.
The acting secretary of the union stated
yesterday that there was a good deal OF
surprise over Van Guelpen's continued alb
sence, but he was not willing to say that
there was any fear of shortage in the &C
counts.
"MrVan Guelpen went away on Sunday
morning" he stated "and he told me that
he would be away on Monday, the Ma
tionaI Labor day. He said he was going
out into the country, and not to expect
him back before Tuesday.
He may be back tomorrow or Satur-
day, but he has been away two days over
the stated time, and we have not heard
from him. Yes, he has always been a
pretty steady sort of man, and the union
has all the confidence in the world in him,
but l do not know why he is staying
away"
Van Guelpen has been one of the most
prominent men in local labor circles for
years, and he has always been regarded as
a man Of integrity. This is the first thing
that has been known against his record
and it is believed that his associates will
endeavor to assist him in getting estab-
ished here again. 1t is not supposed that
my complaint against him would have
been made by the union if he had adhered
to MS original plan of submitting the case
to his associates, and offering to square up
his accounts as rapidly as possible.
The missing secretary is man of about
35 years. He was secretary of the
Federated Trades for long time. He is
well known among the athletic organiza-
tons of the coast. He was an officer of
the old Dolphin Rowing Club, and is an
expert oarsman.
1t is expected that as his absence is now
known the safe will be opened to-day.

Streets, is $25 .000 which sum will merely

NATIONAL CONVENTION.
San Francisco Enters the
Contest With Determina-

CHEERING REPORTS COME.
Spirited Meeting of the Committee
at the Union League
Club.

A spirited meeting of the committee to
bring the next Republican National Con-
ventlon to San Francisco was held at the
Union League Club last evening. General
Robert A. Friedrich presided.
The committee members present were
NJ. NJ. Estee, J. A. Waymire, Joseph Spear,
William G.. Booth, ]. c. Currier, George
A. Stone, A. B. Lennon, William Mac
donald, C. M. Shortridge and III. A. Nc
Craney. Among the spectators were:
John D. Spreckels, Cornelius o Conner and
other Republicans.
Mr.. Estee reported in general terms the
tenor of replies that had been received
from fifty-six members of the National
Committee to whom letters had been adj
dressed. He said that many of the re-
ferred to the long distance to be Travelled
and the time that would be consumed in
making the journey to San Francisco.
1t was Mr.. Estee's judgment, formed by
knowledge gained IN Chicago and from the
results of the campaign four years ago, to
bring a National convention to San Fran
cisco, that the sum of 100000 would be
needed to defray the expenses of caring for
the convention and the National Commit
tee.
Mr.. Estee on being asked how many
members of the National Committee would
support San Francisco. SAID his informa-
ton was that Oregon, Washington, Idaho,
Nevada, Montana, Colorado, Utah, New
Mexico, Arizona, Texas, Kansas, Nebraska,
Wyoming, Iowa, Minnesota, Maine and
New Jersey could be counted on TO vote for

II was the expressed sentiment that the
Republicans should go ahead with the
avoWed purpose of winning the RepuDil-
can National Convention, leaving the
que stlon OF Joining with the Democrats to
secure the convention OF that party ior
future &C ton. Such questions as paying
the debt of the Republican National
Committee, which is supposed to De
500, 600, and of paying $4,000, the estimate
OF railroad fares of delegates from missouri
River points to San Francisco, were DIS
cussed, but by common consent deferred
Tor future consideration.
A motion was made by Colonel George
A. Stone and seconded by Colonel j. q.
Currier that the chairman appoint sub
committee OF three members TO act with
like committee from the executive COM
mlttee OF the Republican State Central
committee in securing SUBSCRIPTIONS TO
bring to San Francisco the National Re
publican Convention.
The motion carried, and the chairman
appointed Colonel George A. Stone, Colonel
William Macdonald and William G.Booth.
Mr.. Shortridge, at the request OF the
chair, agreed to act as fourth member OF
the committee. He said he would go East
some time during the present month, and
while there would do everything in his
power to advance the cause.
"A. b. Lennon OF Santa Rosa was eX-
cused from service on the committee, as
be belongs to the executive committee of
the Republican State Central Committee.
He is heartily in support of the campaign
to win the convention.
John D. Spreckels, who attended the
session as a spectator, expressed to Mr.;
Estee the belief that San Francisco would
raise the money required If the National
Committee should decide to hold the con-
vention here.
General Friedrich, who has actively sup
ported the proposition of holding the con-
vention here from the outset OF the aglta-
ton, suggested that the next meeting be
held without much delay, and therefore an
adjournment was taken to September 20.
At the next meeting full plan of opera
tons will be submitted. 1t was the iudg-
ment of the committee, expressed after the
adjournment, that San Francisco has an
excellent chance of winning.

Without health nothing really matters

Most all bodily troubles start in the
digestive or respiratory organs. It is
here that improper living first makes an
opening for disease. The development
differs as constitutions and tenperaments
differ. The causes are almost identical.
To get at the root of the matter is simple
enough if you start right.

1t cures the first thing it comes to and
after that, the next. 1t puts health in

the vantage ground thus gained, it
reaches every fiber of the body and drives

A RESULT OF THE ELECTION
Mr.. Van Guelpen Used the Money

County Clerk.

George W. Van Guelpen, secretary of the
International Cigar-makers' Union, has
disappeared, and it is known that he is
about $500 short in his accounts.
He was the PopuIist candidate for the
office of County Clerk at the last election,
running on the ticket with Mayor Sutro.
and in the campaign work he made use of
funds belonging to the union. That was
at the time of the height of the Populist
enthusiasm, and Van Guelpen and his
friends were confident of success in the
