TIllman succeeded In keeping the con-

antics and bitter attack upon the north

very outset boasted that he proudly
represented the birthplace ot:secesson.
Ills speech was characteristics Of the
man, and thousands OF people were on
their feet half the time trying to howl
him down.
The reception that Senator Hill re-
ceIved was ore OF the features OF the
convention. The great ovation was not

as he delivered his mastery protest

and yesterday Logan, the iron horse, had
his colors lowered by the cheap selling
platter Monita, in q seven and half fur
long race, decided over the treacherous in
side course. Alex Shields old campaigner
was held at to S and to in the books,
and whether or not he was defeated by falr
means is questionable; at any rate the
majority of those who witnessed the race
think he was not. According to the condi-
tion of the race Logan carried 135 pounds
and was ridden by w. Shields.
The favorite was not prominent until
the hill down the back stretch was
reached, when he shot to the front, fol-
lowed by Monita with Shaw up. The two
horses then engaged in very pretty strug-
gle, fighting it out head and head. A FUR;
long from the wire Logan faltered, but
Shields urged him with the whip and he
responded. About hundred yards from
the finishing-post, Shaw, who at some
period of his career must have worked In
a lemonade mandatory, could not resist
the temptation offered and "lay too. ;"
squeezing Logan against the fence. Shields
momentarily stopped riding, and when
Shaw took off the screws, again went to
work on his mount and was making rapid
strides to the front, when Shaw again bore
in and Logan was beaten head, with his
rider sitting up straight in the saddle.
The San Francisco call., 1896-03-24

Shields entered protest with the judges,
and exhibited torn boot as evidence that
he had been fouled, but the claim was not
allowed.
1t is quite evident that the present rules
governing fouls are entirely inadequate to
cover the exigencies that arise, and should
be so revised as to make it Onlv possible
to disqualify horse when said horses
rider deliberately and Intentionally pulls
his mount in, forcing the contending
horse over the fence and breaking two or
three of his riders ibis, thus putting an
end to much grum bling and kicking.
The days racing card was very COM
monplace one, and the attendance was
correspondingly light. The favorite got
to the wire first on but two occasions, and
the penciiers fattened and looked happy.
A five and a half furlong dash for maid
ems under selling conditions opened the
days sport. Mirambo ruled an IL to 5
favorite but could only finish second to the

shortly after the barrier was raised and

splendid riding beat the outsider nose.
Morven was poor third.
The mile and furlong hurdle race went
to the 7 to favorite, Bellringer, with
Willie Spence in the saddle. The second
choice, Three Forks, set a hot clip to the
stretch when the first choice began closing
on him, and on the trip to the wire was
beaten out easily.

BARRISTERS EMBARRASSED.

The Laugh Often Turned on Sarcastic
Lawyers by Sharp Witnesses.
On one occasion Sir Frank Lock wood was
defending man in Yorkshire who was ac-
cused of stealing cattle, or ''beasts, to use
the north country term. One witness for
the prosecution declared he beheld the
whole transaction from afar.
"Now, my man" "quoth Mr.. Lockwood,
severely, ''you must be extremely careful
in your statements. You say you watched
this affair for some time. Tell me, now,
how far you can see beast to really know
its points?"
"Just as far off as l am from you, mas
ter,' replied the yokel, earnestly. And
the great Q. G. subsided.
There was q civil action in the Law
Courts some time ago, mainly concern
ing some money matters. The plain
tiff stated calmly in the w1tness-box that
his financial position had always been sat-
lsfactory.
Counsel for the other side rose with
truly portentous air and inquired if he had
ever become bankrupt.
Plaintiff said he had not.
"Pray be careful, sir. Remember, you
are on oath. Do you mean to tell the
court you never stopped payment?"
"Well," was the reply, "now you come
to call it to my mind, believe did on
one OCCASION"
"Ah, thought we should arrive at it
presently" And counsel took long
draught of water, in an impressive and
theatrical way. Now, sir, when did that
happen?'
''After I had paid all my debts,' was
the crushing reply.
The court fairly shrieked with laughter,
and the Judge laughed, too, while the
usher was so stricken with merriment that
he was far from restoring order.-Tit- Bits.

The speaker referred to the non-partisan-
ship of the movement and predicted tnat
the wise and generous men of all parties
would make the battle in this State for
woman suffrage.
Miss Harriet Nav Mills. sweet girl
graduate from Cornell University. N. Y,
followed Miss Yates, and began with a
graceful compliment to California. This
State had the climate and the soil to make
it great and beautiful, but it lacked only
one thing and that was a constitution
without the word "male" in it. Every
constitution was improved when the word
male was stricken out of it.
She told about one man who had said to
her that he was opposed to letting women
vote because all the women would want to
hold Office, and it would be very danger
Gus thing to turn these professional politi-
clans loose upon the community. Women
did not want Office, she said but they
wanted to see that better men were put
into office.
Mrs. Cooper then introduced Miss Susan
B. Anthony, whom she spoke of as the
queen who had fought the battle for
women for fifty years.
Miss Anthony made straightforward,
businesslike talk, unembeilished with any
of the flowers of oratory. She was glad to

1t was with such epigramm attic sentences
that she kept her hearers on the laugh.
AT the close of the meeting Miss Mary
G. Hay called for subscriptions in aid of
the campaign. Mrs. A. A. Sargent headed
the list with $100 and several other SUBJ

Tiyoli Opera-House.

"Said Pasha" was well-performed at the
Tivoli Opera-house last night, one of the
best features of the production being the
good work done by the chorus and orches-
ira. 1t is evident that Carl Martens, the
new conductor. is doing good work, par
ticularly with the chorus
William H. West has scarcely voice
enough for the title-role of "Said Pasha, -
but he acted well, and gave creditable,
though not remarkable performance.
John ]. Rafael was the usual star of the
production, his singing and acting being
both excellent in the role of Hassan Bey.
Kate Marchi made a bright little Serena,
her dancing of the hornpipe being espe-
cially applauded. Martin Pache was at
home as the Mexican and Fannie Liddiard
and Carrie Roma were respectively clever
as Alti and Balah Sojah.
The Tivoli Opera-house tomorrow even
ing will give special performance called
"Yachtsmen's Night" under the auspices
of the San Francisco Yacht Club.

DR.. SHUEY is |NDORSEO.
A San Francisco Mother Writes
to Her Regarding Steels
in Clothing.

OAKLAND, CAL, March 23.-Dr. Sarah
I. Shuey has received the following in
dorsement of her stand on dress from q
San Francisco mother:
Dr. Shuey-DEAR MADAM: have read, with
much appreciation, your opinion on corsets
and dress | am just an ordinary woman,
working at home as mother and wife for my
family, often under poor and adverse circum-
stances. My children have grown up without
the slightest trouble over teething and with
all are robust and distressingly full of spirits.
Though the Oldest of them is girl of nearly
13, neither she nor her two sisters have ever
known the discomfort of corsets, and look
forward with dislike to the time when she
must wear them or take back seat in her life
chances.
Not only this, but look with longing to the
time to come when the rich (whe can be idle if
they like) will allow those who have to toll
every day of every year the great benefit and
advantage from every point OF view OF q
trouser dress of some kind. This concession is
undoubtedly due to the workers, whose ease,
as far as the work will allow, would benefit the
rich.
know the skirts to the ground would cause
health, temper and money-and I envy, bit
terly envy, the meanest animal, for it has not
lost its birthright-the free and necessary
active motion OF its limbs--but we unfortunate
female human beings have lost our rights to
the best and most valuable gift of nature, and
all are, and must be, semi-cripples, while we
retain skirts lower than the knee, and though
we talk in church about being made in the
image of God, we show plainly that we are
ashamed of that shape and try all we can to
alter and deform it.
Look through the whole of creation and we
have to admit that the female Of man is the
only cripple, and the belief is strong in me
that we cannot approach anywhere near hap
piness and contentment whilst we fight vain,
stupid, fatal battle against the commonest
laws OF nature When watch ladies passing
in the street, shuttle, shuttle, shuttle. with the
awful volume of their skirt wagging to and
fro, feel miserable and disheartened, when
know they ought to be as light and graceful
as deer; and when / read so much about the
gracefulness of this or that beautiful woman,
know 1t means only the useless gracefulness
of inactivity, and to see these graceful
creatures" ell doubled together trying to walk
up their own stairs is truly painful and ludi-
crous.
I thought possibly community in the
county could be found not restricting men as
DR.. Mary Walker in her farm colony for girls
is reported doing, but only admitting such
men as are willing to allow women to live un-
der the most favorable circumstances to health
and economy. Economy and the present dress
for women is impossible in any way, whether
health, money or time; and between dress and
drink we waste our energies and can never
prosper nor be happy. Very respectfully,

The Grand Opera-House,

A new departure in play writing is Car
roll Johnson's Irish-American comedy
drama "The Irish Statesman" The plot
deals more with this country than with
Ireland, though the play opens on the
shores of Killarneys classic lakes. Here
q pretty love scene takes place between
Osmonde O'Sullivan, the hero, and Lucy
Lovelace. an American heiress. The usual
villain intervenes, in the shape of Richard
Talbot. a cousin of Lucy's, who seeks
her hand and her millions. Poor Lucy
is entangled in dreadful fashion,
and but for the well-timed advent of
O'Sullivan would lose her fortune. But
the hero dawns upon the dark-hued scene
just In time to save his lady-love and bear
her off in triumph to America. After
many strange ups and. downs the two are
made one. Meanwhile Ireland gains her
freedom. O'Sullivan enters the political
arena, where he achieves great distinction
and ends by being appointed as the first
American Minister Plenipotentiary to the
newborn Irish republic.
Mr.. Johnson as O'Sullivan gives q
charming picture of the ideal Irishman,
his fine acting being well supplemented
by the grace and power which Essie Tit
tel gives to the role of Lucy. Fred Butler
as the villainous cousin and Darrell Vim
ton as Rowland, his accompllce, are both
as delightfully."- diabolical as could be de-
sired. The other parts are we'll sustained
and the stage settings faultless, the scene
re presenting the Lakes of Killarney being
exqu isitely beautiful. The orchestral
music consisted of variations upon old
Irish airs, while the singing of the Ne
Plus Ultra quartet, composed of Messrs.
Stantini, Lane, Gibbons and Fogartv, was
an innovation evidently relished by the
large and appreciative audience.

1t was not question with the ladies of
San Francisco yesterday what store to
visit in their shopping expeditions, but it
was a question whether it would be pos
sible to obtain entrance to the store of
Hale Bros. The house is deservedly
popular one, and always enjoys full
share of the patronage of the people OF
this City, but their announcement made
in the Sunday papers that they would
open new cloak and suit department
yesterday was sufficient to draw to the
store the largest crowd that has ever as
sembled within it's walls during its history.
The place was beautifully decorated with
potted plants and palms, while festoons of
flowers throughout added to the hand
some appearance of the premises. All
day long, particularly during the after
noon, the store was thronged with the fair
sex, who were present not merely to in
spcct, but to purchase. The silk and dress
goods counters especially were lined with
fashionably attired ladies who came to
select from the new stock the latest con-
ceits in spring goods. Carriages in great
numbers drove up to the doors during the
afternoon and the street presented the ap-
pearance of a fashionable Mob Hill re-
ception.
The San FRANCISCO mouse OF Hale Broth
ers has built up trade on broad-gauge
business principles. Their constantly in
creasing patronage has necessitated an in
crease of their quarters, and by the addi-
ton OF the new departments first opened
to the public yesterday, they have in
creased their store capacity fully one-half
as much more than it was previously.
They now have frontage on Market
street of 100 feet and the basement below
is utilized to carry a large stock from
which acquisitions are made daily to sup
ply the departments above. Yesterdays
opening was most successful affair and
served to impress more firmly than ever in
the minds of the people Of San Francisco
