Mr. Partridge has that tired look.
and his friends hope he had a good
sleep last night. He may well feel
tired. He had at least $4,000 worth of
drugs and the fancy goods kept in
stock by druggists, and everything is
wet through. He has insurance of
$500
Mr.. Partridge was burned out in the
fire of 1890 in the same spot: and some
years previous when he was starting
out in business. He's used to it, all
right, and will be up and at it again, in
no time. He's just that kind.

Opera House cafe is an unfortunate

afraid that his loss will be total. He

the bundles and getting stuff moved
across the way to Masonic block, where
they will locate.
Mr.. Church says that he has some
very choice bargains in shop worn po-
tatoes and very few onions. and also
some oranges, bananas and canned to-
nlatoes. He is saving lot of good
stuff. and will have a big crowd, today,

Chase. one of the clerks, heard the

The Augusta Safe Deposit & Safe
Co. which had an Office finely fitted
out at the south end of the building,
has had its bank furniture. valued at
$2ooo, just about ruined, but covered by
insurance.
Their vaults were not hurt by the
water, and. outside of the furniture,
they suffered no loss. They will bel
open for business, this morning, at 9, in
the Hayes building, two doors south
of their former banking rooms.
The Haynes 81 Lawrence Ice Co. has
also secured quarters in this building,
and will there locate for the present.
Work Will be commenced, today
clearing things away and getting
ready for any plans for rebuilding
which may develop. The unfortunate
people who have been forced to vacate,
have set about their work with the
best Of spirits and they will come out
on top at the finish.
OF course there are stories flying
about as to the cause. Some say spon-
taneous combustion, others say that
the wires got crossed, and there are
others who still think that some miser-
able little firecracker sneakcd it's way
IL behind there, somehow.
But nobody seems to know anything
about it. George n. Lawrence ]. Henry
Sturgis and w. S. Kittredge who left
the building about 10 O'Clock, are con-

locked up tight, and that everything
was secure.

WENTWORTH INDICATED
Assailed by the Chronicle" He
Refutes Every Charge
as Libelous,
And Alleges the Reason for the At.
tack Is His Refusal to Vote
for De Young.

George Wentworth, regular Republican
candidate for the Assembly from the
Thirty-seventh Assembly District, makes
most effective reply to libelous and false
charges against him in the Chronicle yes
terday morning.
He ascribes the authorship of the
charges to personal enemy named L. H.
Van Schaick and to resentment on the
part of NJ. II. de Young because he (Went-
worth) declined to vote for Mr. de Young
for the United States Senatorship.
With reference to the charge that Mr..
Wentworth lodged 100 votes while mem
Der of the Legislature the journal of the
Assembly showsthat not one of the eighty
members voted as many as 375 out of the
sgt rollcalls, while Mr.. Wentworth voted
256 times and was granted leave of absence
on important committee duties during
fifty-on votes.
This should give to his credit 307 votes
which is above the average for each MEM
bcr.
Mr.. Wentworth was a member of five
committees, of two of which he was
chairman. namely, of the San Fran
cisco delegation and of municipal
corporations. He was q member of
the Committees on Jud iciary, Elections
and Appointments, and he subsequently
became chairman of the{Assembiy COM
mittse to investigate the wastebasket
scandal. His attendance on these COM
nlittees took up considerable portion of
his time, and he was necessarily absent
from many rollcalls on al djournment, etc.
He explains his advocacy of the law to
protect the eggs of seagnlls on the Faral-
lon Islands. by saying that he had read
well-writren article in the San Francisco
Chronicle recommending such lay as
sanitary measure, the gulls being very use
full scavengers.
With reference to the charge of having
voted for Leland Stanford for United
States Senator, it is explained that Mr..
Stanford was the only Republican candi-
date to succeed himself, and he received
the entire vote of the Republican Senators
and Assem- blymen.
ITO fill the vacancy caused by the death
of Senator Hearst Mr.. Wentworth voted
for John f. Swift on the day on which
that gentleman died in China. The next
day he voted for W. W. Morrow, and
Morrow's name having been withdrawn
he voted for Mr.. FELTON,, Mr.. Wentworth
being one of the three from this City who
did not wear the boss collar.
Out Of eighteen Repu blican Assembly
men, there were three who did not sup
port Mr.. de Yonng, and Wentworth was
one of the three.
He voted for the J. J. Conlan relief bill,
believing that 1t was a just and merito-
rious claim. The bill passed both branches
o. the LEGISLATURE by a large majority, and
was approved by Markham.
The act was passed upon by Judge Heb
bard, who sustained its constitutionality.
The claim subsequently passed the last
Legislature and was approved by Governor
Budd.
The Chronicles chsrge that Wentworth
introduced the bill providing for certain
deputies in the Office of the City and
County Attorney is denounced as being

the attention OF Republican campaign
speakers in that State TO its merits, and
refer 10 it as one of the simplest but most
striking illustrations of the disastrous
effects to be feared from the independent,
free and unlimited coinage of silver at a
ratio of 16 to l.
The device consists of two strips oil
paper of equal length, each OF which is
made by pasting bit of gold paper to a
bit of silver paper and that again to a
piece of green paper, representing green
backs. The strips are three and three
quarters inches wide by sixteen inches in
length. The gold and silver pieces are
each six inches iE length and the green
piece is four pches long. They represent
about the amount OF money in the coun-
try-in round numbers $500 900 each
of gold and silver and $500, 600, 900 in un-
covered paper. Each inch stands for
500, ,000. 900 in money.
Colonel Shaw hands one strip to the
chairman of a meeting, while he proceeds
to dissect with pocket pair of scissors
the corresponding strip. After explain
ing how gold, becoming q commodity,
will be driven out of circulation as money,
he clips off the six inches of gold paper.
His next move is to show that under
free coinage the silver dollar will be worth
only half its face value, whereupon he
slices three inches off the silver strip. He
follows this up by clipping two inches
from the green paper, because the green
backs on a silver basis will also lose half
their purchasing power.
The climax is reached when Colonel
Shaw takes from the hands of the chair
man of the meeting the uncut duplicate
slips and holding both up before the audi
ence contrasts the two.
1t is a visual demonstration of the pos
sible sudden shrinkage of the country's s
stock of money from SIG, 900 900 to s5, ,000,-
600, or contraction of $11, ,Oo0, 600 under
the proposed free-coinage poticv. The
effect is very startling, as it conveys to
the average mind in more striking man
ner than words could the calamitous
consequences of the sudden retirement of
gold from circulation. The speaker ex-
plains that the mints could not coin silver
dollars fast enough to fill the vacuum, and
The San Francisco call., 1896-10-18

that the only relief from the situation
would be the initiation of our paper cur
rency, and this would only mean a re-
vival of all the evils of enbackism.
Meanwhile the catastrophe would be pre-
cipitated in the shape of the ost appal-
ling commercial and financial panic of
modern times.

Preparing for a Grand Parade In

d. F. McGraw, president of the Santa
Clara County Republican League, was in
the City yesterday. He reports great en-
thusiasm and much activity among the
Republicans of San Jose and vicinity.
They are not content with stirring up
the minds of the citizens of Santa Clara
County by their own efforts, but have de-
cided to call in tue help of their neighbors
and have big rally on the night OF Sat
urday the oath of the prese Mt month.
On that occasion some of the ablest
speakers of the State will be in San Jose,
and such an entertainment will be offered
that people from far and near will attend.
The following-named organizations have
promised to be present in the. line of
march: Oakland Republican Alliance,
Oakland Young Mems Republican League,
Oakland Army and Navy League, Ala

FOR THE PARADE.

Republican Clubs, wheelmen and
Others Invited to Attend.
The Republican clubs of the City and
surrounding towns are invited to partici-
pate in the grand Republican parade on
Saturday, October 81. 1t is confidently
hoped that this will be the greatest politi-
cal demonstration ever held in this City
and that clubs from all the n ear-by cities
will be present and in line.
The wheelmen of the City are also in
vited to participate. The grand marshal,
Colonel George Stone, is making special
efforts to arrange for large body OF
cyclists to take part, offering them posi-
ton between the divisions, where they
can make good showing. This will be a
chance for patriotic Republican cyclists
to show their ingenuity in decorating
their wheels with the insignia of Republic
canism.
All desiring to participate are invited to
send in their names ana statement OF
the fact that they will be on hand at the
grand marshals headquarters, "a Fourth
street, Pioneer building,'a as soon as con-
venient.

unqualifedly a falsehood, which can be
shown by the record.
With reference to the charge that Mr..
Wentworth had received a fee OF 500 from
Colonel ]. d. Stevenson Mr.. Wentworth
explains that he did not receive a dollar
of fee for his services. He and his asso-
ciate, A. P. Van Duzer received $50 for
costs, which they had advanced in the
colonel's case for printing briefs, etc.
Mr.. Wentworth showed his sympathy
for the hard-working police of this City
by advocating that they should be given
a fifteen days leave of absence every year.
He introduced and succeeded in having
pissed the Barry contempt bill. He was
the author of many wise and popular bills,
and was the only man in the Assembly
who stood up in his place and opposed the
coyote bounty act.

tional devices in the East kindergarten
object lesson suggested by Colonel Henry
G. Shaw of Stockton, CAL, and already
employed very effectively by that gentle
man on the stump in this State.
The colonel has received letter from
Perry S. Heath, chairman of the National
Committee on publication and printing,
omplimenting him upon its simplicity
and adaptability. He informs him that
Mark Hanna was very much impressed

PERFECT PHYSICAL
MANHOOD!
How Lost and HOV Regailad :!

What is there in all nature that calls
for greater adm iration than perfect
specimen of physical manhood? He COM
mands the admiration of all kinds and
classes regardless of sex. Why is this the
case? 1t is undoubtedly due to the fact
that there is comparative scarcity of
physically perfect men. All men are as
rule born equa, in the matter OF physical
health and strength, yet how unequal in
these attributes is the standing of many
compared with their fellow-men before
their iife's race is quarter or third run.
The cause is a common one-unfortunately
too common. The affliction responsible
for the shattered and broken-down con.
dition both physically and mentally of SO
many men, both young and middle-aged,
is Nervous Debility. 1t is either the result
of youthful indiscretions or of living at
the pace that kills. Excessive indul-
gences, mental worry and anxiety, all
producing a constant strain and drain on
the nervous system, soon undermine the
strongest constitution. The result is
manifest in the many physical and men.
tai wrecks met with every day in life.
Where health and strength, both mental
and physical, should exist If the body had
been we'll cared for there is seen instead
man afflicted with that most horrible of all
diseases, Nervous Debility, with its train
of attending evils. 1t is manifested in the
following symptoms: Weakness of body
and mind, brain dullness, dizziness, loss
Of memory, q wandering mind, lack of
energy and confidence, pains in the head
and back, dimness of vision, discomfort,
dependency. an aversion to society,
dread of impending danger, etc. If you
are suffering from Nervous Debility, Ii
your manly powers are waning or falling
