Judge Guthrie Before the Second Club Of the
First Ward

Judge Guthrie Before the Second Club Of the
First Ward
Judge Guthrie addressed the Second
Silver club of the First ward at Banquet
hall last evening. The audience was
large and enthusiastic. He said, in sub
stance: Without going into the direct
cause or the party or parties responsible
forit.i is fact that silver was demonet-
lied in 1873, and that the nation has suf-
fered and is still suffering the conse-
quences. The Republican party of this
state in state convention passed a res
olution condemning the demonstration
of silver in 1878 and urging our congress-
men to urge the passage of bill author-
iZlng the free and unlimited coinage of
silver at the ratio of 16 to /, and this
was the sentiment of the Republican
convention in st. Louis the present year.
The question at this time is as to
whether gold only shall be money or
whether we shall have both gold and sill
ver 1t is time that the people no
longer leave the discussion Of this i'm
portant question to those who will
profit most by the cutting off of one-half
of the money Of the country. Their in
terest is in gold, and, being human, they
fight for their interests. 1t is hazardous
to trust them to pass upon this question.
John Sherman said in 1869 that to- con-
tract the currency would result in dis
aster to all business interests, the clos
ing Of factories, the paralyzing Of all
our Industries. He referred to the paper
money. A few years later Mr. Sher-
man recommended the double stand

Hugh T. Gordon for Judge

Among the number understood to seek
the nomination for superior judge is
Hugh 7. Gordon. Mr.. Gordon is a native
of Tennessee, a worthy member of a dis
tinguished family, and about 4S years

federal courts. He is the honored head
of charming family. prominent and
popular member of the Presbyterian
church, and was delegate to the gen.
eral assembly of that denom-
ination which recently convened at
Saratoga, N. Y. His personal charac-
ter is admirable-he is a man without
fear and without reproach. AS law
yer he Is conscientious, studious and
painstaking, with a thorough knowledge
of the law and a clear, judicial mind.
He enjoys the unbounded confidence of
all who know him well, having impressed
all with whom he has come in contact
that he is the type of strong, we'll
balanced. unassuming manhood. His
popularity with the laboring classes will
bring him many more than his party
votes, should the Democratic county
convention give him place on the ticket.

BASEBALL TODAY
The Examiners Great Tournament Will Be
Played Today

The Examiners Great Tournament Will Be
Played Today
The greatest baseball tournament in
the history Of the national game will be
played today commencing at 10 a. M,
when the first game between San Luis
Obispo and Saticoy clubs will be played.
This promises to be a very close and ex-
citing contest as both teams are evenly
matched and all in fine trim.
The second game, which promises to
be one of the hottest of the day, will be
between the Tufts-Lyons Arms COM
pany team of this city and the high
school club of San Diego.
The following are the names and posi-
tions of the players in both teams:
Tufts-Lyons Arms company-Manga-
rina, catcher; Harvey, pitcher; F. Held,
first base; C. Tufts, second base; C.
Franche. shortstop; G. Cummings, third
base; H. Braly, left field; p. Wolfskill,
center field; M. Rivera, right field; A.
Glass, substitute.

first base; Fl. Edwards, second base !; J.
Mulvey, shortstop; e. Mulford, third
base; H. Ingle, left field; w. Donovan,
center field; v. Rood, right field; G.
Starbird, substitute.
The winners of this game will cross
bats with the winners of the second
game which will be between the Alame-
da Alerts, the crack team Of the bay
countless" and the winners of the first
game and the great final will practically
decide the California championship.
The Alameda boys arrived on the 1:3O
train in the Pullman palace car Elysia,
and Manager Hammond, when asked
the pro cts of winning the tournament,
said: "lne team stood the journey well
and is in fine condition, but we expect to
run up against the Tufts-Lyons Arms
company team in the final and 1t will be
ball playing that wins"
The Alerts have a strong team and will
go on the diamond for the first game as
follows:
w. Hammond, captain, catcher;

base; A. Goldworthy, second base; w.
Coughlin, third base; H. Bird, shortstop;
G. Croll, left field; Henderson. center
field; Jack Hammond, right field; r.

and should the Tufts-Lyons boys win
their first game they will have hard
graft to win from the Alerts.
1t promises to be the greatest day in
the history of base ball in this city.
Play will be called for the first game
at 10 a. m. sharp and the other games at
II M, 2 p. m. and the great final at p. m.

Petroleum In Russia,

A peculiar fact in respect to petro-
leum is the difference of conditions I'M
der which that oil occurs in Russia and
America. In the former it is found in
strata of the tertiary period, usually a
formation resembling quicksand, and
at depths of only a few hundred feet.
In our own country it occurs at great
depths in the older compact sandstones
and limestones. American oil yields
very large proportion, say about 70 per
cent, of illuminating oil exactly suited
for combustion in our ordinary lamps;
the Russian oil produces far less of
such oil and larger proportion of
high-class lubricating oil. The Rus
sian Illuminating oil also requires to be
burned in modified form of lamp with
more perfect tdraught,in order to over
come its tendency 10 produce smoky
fame, and it is largely this fact which
has prevented the consumption of Rus
sian oil for light abroad.

BENDING OF WOODS.
An Art Extensively Used in Carriage and
Boat Building.


Boat Building.
Comparatively few persons outside
the carriage and bodybuilding indus
try are aware of the extent of the wood
bending industry, and but few realize
that the carriages they ride in are very
largely made of such wood-the felloes
of all their wheels are bent and made
in two parts-the framework of coaches
and heavy carriages is nearly all made
of bent stock, and not only better made,
but more cheaply-and the frames of
pleasure boats are bent, as also many
of the frames of the finest sailing
yachts; furniture, too, of many kinds
has bent frames, all the celebrated
Thonet chairs, for example, being made
entirely of wood thus treated. The OBJ
ject of bending is twofold, says the
Woodworker, namely, saving of time
and stock and stability and strength of
the work when put ttogether-this inde-
pendent of beauty of form; and bent
carriage shafts are almost, if not en-
tirely, used now, instead of the old
style, clumsy, sawed ones. Skill in
manipulating the material is very es-
sential; simply the forms to bend OH,
and the steam box in which to soften
the wood do not alone insure success in
the operation-it is necessary to know
perfectly the stock to bend, it being SO
variable that no two pieces bend alike.

ENTANGLED IN HIS OvERCOAT,
Unfortunate Predicament Of Very Fat
Man at the Theater.

Unfortunate Predicament of q Very Fat
Man at the Theater.
He was such very fat man that the
entire audience turned around to look
at him when he came into the theater
in the middle of the first act and took
his seat in an orchestra chair. He wore
his last years fall overcoat, says the
Philadelphia Record, which was tight
for him. He had evidently taken on
flesh during the year. He paid no at
tention to the interest his ncighbors
evinced in him, but sat down and at
once became absorbed in the play. He
grew warm, and with his eyes still
glued to the stage, he arose and shed
his overcoat. The people around him
began to litter, and finally to laugh
very audibly. The fat man realized at
length that the people were laughing at
him. Then he noticed, with great con-
fusion, that he was in his shirtsleeves.
His sack coat had come off with the
other. He put them both on again and
tried to peel off the overcoat, but it
wouldn't move little bit. He gave a
desperate tug and wriggled his fat
shoulders, and the next moment he was
in his shirtsleeves again. "Get out!'
"Sit down." "Trip it off" cried the
people behind him, but the fat man tried
again, and with the assistance of two
men in the seats behind him he finally
managed to shed his overcoat.

The body of the eel was too sleek, how
ever, and the snakes coils, despite all
it could do, would slip down into the
water. Time and time again it tried to
squeeze the life out of it's antagonist,
never for an instant releasing its hold
on the eel's neck, but the body of the
latter was too sleek for it, and every
time it would slip down. Finally the
hook broke, and the eel made good it's
