A man IN tho gallery at the performance
of " The Tornado, Monday evening, made
considerable disturbance, arousing the in
dignation Of the audience. The man, who
was under the influence of liquor, was
escorted to the outside by the special

was rumorcd. He did, however, fall upon

his fault that he didn't break his neck.

An UNFORTUNATE CASE.
Man Brought TO the Hospital Suffering From
Effects oil Injuries.

A man named Bean was brought from
Forks Plantation, Monday, on the morn
ing train, suffering from the effects Of in
juries which he received some two months
ago. AT that time, while at work yard
ing logs, in some way he got caught, a log
striking and terribly injuring his back,
and also breaking his leg in two places.
Medical attendance gave him all the re-
lief possible, but the suffering, it is
thought, unbalanced his mind and his
condition became serious. Almost as soon
as splints were placed about the broken
limb, he would in frenzy tear them off,
and the bones are still unknit, where the
fractures occurred.
1t was decided to bring him to the
hospital, where it is hoped the poor fellow
will find some relief from his suffering.

Portland will not suffer from the shake
up which is predicted among the officers
OF the LIST Regiment, so the Express is in
formed on competent authority. The
changes are all to be made in Norway,
Auburn and Augusta. A field officer will
probably be chosen from among the line
officers in the Portland companies, but so
far no candidates have been named. The
adjutant general has not yet decided
whether to locate the 18th company OF the
LIST Regiment in WestbrOok, Gardiner or
Yarmouth. A decision in this matter will
be made soon. The retirement of Major
Warren of Biddeford, the surgeon of the
regiment, will undoubtedly result in the
promotion of Capt. Bradbury, the assistant
surgeon, to be surgeon, and Lieut.. O'Neil
to be captain. The second assistant sur
geon will probably be chosen from Lewis

derstood, will try for the lieutenant

SOME POLITICAL X RAYS,
The Veil of Flesh Torn From
the Souls of Statesmen
Assembled at Sac
ramento.
BY the JUDGE.

Having recently made experiments with
X-ray pictures 1 have discovered that polit-
ically it is possible to secure pictures OF
thought, aims, character and aspirations oi
practical politicians, and will give you to-day
an explanation of few negatives of people
prominently identified with the Democratic
State Convention at Sacramento. 1 am COM
PEELED by circumstances to conine the pictures
given to-day to one side of the question, for
the reason that Notwithstanding 1 had my
camera-plates eopper-bound and riveted TWEEN
ty-seven of the plates exploded on account OF
the tough character of the subjects.
The country delegates are up against hard
mob if these pictures are true. There is q fine
mixture here of discordant elements, all
actusted by desire to secure positions.
We have in evidence the Federal brigade,
Budd's relations, Colnon's Stockton push,
Buckleys business men, Dsggetts gold men,
Foote'S pets and the Junta crowd, principally
composed of people who in the past were beg
gars at Buckleys table, and who are now try
ing to smash the hand that fed them. There
will be served up by the committee on plat
form and resolutions as tough a dose of De-
mocracy as can be imagined, which will be
swallowed by the patriots assembled without a
grimaee. The mixture viii contain little of

off in regard to medical colleges, and that
there are too many already in the country,
a number of prominent physicians of this
City believe that there is open to the new
organization field that has been neg
lected by the old colleges.
Accordingly application has been fled
for articles of Incorporation of the College
of Physicians and Surgeons of San Fran
cisco, by the following mem bers of the
local medical fraternity: DR.. Silas
Mercer Mouser, DR.. Joseph Lane, DR..
Winslow Anderson, DR.. Samuel o. l..
Potter and DR.. William Freeman South
ard.
The feeling among some of the men who
are supporting the new organization is
that the two old colleges have to great
extent outlived their usefulness.
Many of the professors, it is said neg
lect their work of teaching for their own
professional cases, and the students are
either neglected or left in charge of some
young and inexperienced substitute.
"There are several reasons why new
college should be established in this City, !"
said DR.. Potter last evening. THE plac-
ing of one of the now existing colleges
away out south of the park is going to de-
tract greatly from its efficiency. Students
will be unable to find boarding places in
The San Francisco call., 1896-06-17

that neighborhood and professors cannot
afford to waste their time in driving back
and forth such distance.
Neither will sick man travel out so far,
and the result will be that the clinics at
the college will amount overy little.
"The Cooper College has also many dis
advantages. 1t is situated in residence
portion of the City where there are few
poor patients. The clinics are composed
as a rule of well-to-do people, because the
college can get no others to work upon.
The hospital which is managed In con-
nectlon with the school is pay hospital,
where the charges range from So to $40
day. OF course, people who can pay such
price are not going to allow themselves
to be operated upon by young medical stu
dents.
There is, therefore, no clinical school
here where the student is brought into
actual contact with all kinds OF disease.
The Polytechnic has given up nearly all
teaching and is essen TALLY dispensary.
"Of course, we will meet with many OBJ
jections. The supporters of the old col
leges will declare we are lot OF green
horns and upstarts AS a matter of fact,
-
all experienced physicians-some OF them
standing at the head of the special branches
of medicine which they follow.
After we have incorporated we shall at
first rent some building for our college,
probably south of Market street, where
our clinics shall be composed of the poor
and shall be entirely free. We also expect
later to obtain financial aid from certain
gentlemen to erect fine building for the
college. Each of the incorporators IS as
sured of from five to seven students when
ever the college is opeued, so our prospects
are encouraging.
"We also hope to establish connection
with the great Johnson Hospital, which is
soon to be established here. Archbishop
Riordan, Drs. Buckley, Robinson and
Thorne are the trustees of the hospital,
and we hope by our good work to obtain
the good will of these trustees and bring
about some connection between the col
lege and the hospital.
my own idea of permanent location
for the college would be on Rincon Hill.
The argument used in favor of the site
south of the park was that in 80 or 100
years it would be the center of the City.

and should be situated in a populous dis
trict.
''Rncon Hill possesses many advan-
tages for a college site. The climate is
very good, the cars are convenient for
reaching the County Hospital and, be-
sides, the new Johnson Hospital will
probably be located in this vicinity. And
in this locality there would be abundance
of material for practical clinics, which
we deem one of the most important ele-
ments in an education for the medical
profession"

GROVER TALKS AGAINST SILVER.
The President Thinks That Working fof

Gnod

WASHINGTON, D. c., June 16.-Presi-
dent Cleveland to-day made the following
reply to representative of the New York
Herald, who asked of the President
statement concerning the Democratic situ-
alton: Mr.. Cleveland said: II have made
no figures as to the probable action OF del
egates already chosen. or to be chosen, to
the Democratic National Convention, but
1 refuse to believe that when the time
arrives for deliberate action there will be
engrafted upon our Democratic creed a
demand for the free, unlimited and inde-
pendent coinage of silver.
81 cannot believe this, because know
the Democratic party is neither unpatri-
otic nor foolish, and because it seems clear
to me that such a course will infict very
great injury upon every interest OF our
country which it has been the mission OF

the appointmentwas made. The result of the
trip was that Buckley went to Sacramento,
Moreland was turned down, Uncle George ap-
pointed and the Examiner was not fighter of
Buckley.
The friendly relations existing between the
Examiner and Buckley continued until 1890,
when that paper wanted to down Steve White
at San Jose, it was said on account of his Irish
antecedents You will remember that the
Examiner was hissed by the delegates to that
convention White was indorsed; the
Examiner slipped a cog and became q re-
former and has been reformer ever since,
gathering around 1t a choice collection of other
reformers. Here are some of their pictures:
Gavin cNab-"Whispering'' Gavin they
call him now You remember when Buckley
gave Gavin that nomination for Supervisor in
1890 as a reward for service? Well, Buckley
had to take him from the ticket because the
Federated Trades bucked. Gavin has had
rocky road to travel in his career as reformer.
When Buckley took his famous trip to the
watering places of Europe, Whispering"
Gavin joined the reorganizers under Sullivan
and Dwyer, from which crowd he was expelled
for knitting the ticket. 1t is supposed that
Gavin has A. P. A. sympsthies.
Sammy BraunhaIt, another reformer, was
one of Buckley's loudest bleating lambs in the
old time. He was Buckley candidate for the
Legislature in 1888. Sammy used to try to
work OFF some of those famous Regalia de
Chinatown cigars on Buckley in order to solid
ify himself with the boss, but as Buckley was
pretty cunning himself and is not taking any
chances on his life, he thought he would work
off the cigars on the push. 1t was lucky for
Buckley that he took that course. as many of
the push nearly succumbed to yellow jaundice
from smoking Sammy's Regalias. 1t is also
said that some of Buckleys friends about this
time presented him with an elegant pair OF
horses and a rockaway, but overlooked the
buggy robe. Sammy saw his opportunity,
rushed to a hand-me-down shop south of
Market street, purchased the gaudiest red
buggy robe he could find, and gave it to Mr..
Buckley with his compliments. The first time
Buckley drove out he used the robe; a shower

Democracy to advance and will result in
strong disaster to our party organization.
There is great hope that as a means of sue
cess this free silver proposition. after its
thorough discussion during a political
campaign will attract majority
OF the voters of the country.
1t must be that many of the
illusions influencing those now relying
upon this alleged panacea for their ills
will be dispeIled before the time comes for
them to cast their ballots, which will ex-
press their sober second thought. The
adoption by the Democracy of this promo
sition would, belieye, give to our oppo-
nents an advantage both in the present
and future which they do not deserve.
My attachment to true Democracy is so
strong that l consider its work as identical
with the promotion of the country's good.
This ought sufficiently to account for my
anxiety that no mistake be made at our
party convention. In my opinion no
effort should be spared to secure such ac-
ton OF the delegates as will avert party
decentralization.
1t Is place for consultation and com
parlson OF views and those Democrats who
DeneVe IN the cause of sound money
should there be heard and be constantly
IN evidence. A cause worth fighting for
Is worth lighting for to the end. If sound
money Democrats suppose there is danger
OF mistake being made such danger
should stimulate their activity in avertlng
1t instead of creating encouragement.
II am very far from arrogating to my
sell controlling influence upon the
policy OF my party; but as an unfinching
Democrat who has been honored by his
party and who desires hereafter no greater
political privileges than to occupy the
place OF private in Its ranks, hope may
not be blamed for saying thus much at
this time in the interest, as it seems to me,
OF the grand old organization, so rich in
honorable traditions, so Justly proud of its
achievements and always so undaunted
and brave in its battles for the peoples
