In Practical Use.

J. J. Williams, the photographer, is
the latest possessor of an X ray APP
paratus, and it was used yesterday to
good advantage. The little daughter
of a newspaper man in Honolulu got
hold of the reserve fund of his salary
on Sunday and swallowed it. The child
suffered considerably and the family
physician recommended taking her to
Williams and trying the Roentgen ray.
The nickel was discovered lodging at
the entrance to the child's stomach.
Everybody's friend, Luning, was sent
for and after a few minutes converse

a little further business, the class
work began. Miss Scott read two il
Illustrative lessons on the teaching of

Mills read paper on the subject of
nature study. In the afternoon Miss
Scott had a paper on the subject of
teaching arithmetic more rapidly than
it is now taught. This was followed
by general discussion of the mental
processes of the child in arithmetic.
Mr.. Ain carried the tonic sol ia class
into the third step.
The second days proceedings began
with Mrs. SCOTS able papers on the
general points to be observed in teach

observed copying the plans written on
the boards and making rapid notes of
what she said.

Japan, seeing the opening made in this
country and the countenance given the
importation of manufactured goods by the
Democratic party, started to improve its
labor condition by shipping ready made
articles into our market IN competition
with our industries. He said that England
would forfeit her colonial territories rather
than lose the commercial trade of the
United States.
G. w. Kyle, the eloquent speaker, gave
glowing account of the history of the
Republican party during its existence in
power in this country. He compared it
with the destructive policy of the Demo-
cratic party for the brief period in which
it has been intrusted with the manage
m ent of public affairs. The Golden Club
of England. he said, formed the COM
mercia1 policy of England for the last
fifty years, but after next November this
cl ub would cease to form the numerical
or moneyed policy of these United States.

FLEISHMAN PLAYS.
A Concert by the Symphony Orchestra,
With Four SOloists.

A Concert by the Symphony Orchestra,
With Four SOloists.
One of the features of the Symphony
Orchestra concert in Golden Gate Hall,
yesterday afternoon, was the number of
soloists. S. Fleishman, well-known
local pianist, played concerto, Miss
Nellie Guisti sang, c. w. Loyde played a
cornet solo and Gustav Rowan rendered a
vocal solo OF his own composition.
Fleishman's playing was one of the
most attractive features of the concert.
He gave the Chopin Concert AL
legro,' for orchestra and piano-forte, and
rendered his score with breadth and
artistic feeling, as well as with excellent
technique. The orchestra, on the whole,
did good work In this concerto, though
more familiarity with the score on the
part of the conductor would probably have
made the passages written in syncopated
time go more crisply and tersely. There
is always a danger, in such passages, of
the soloist appearing to pull one way and
the orchestra another. Mr.. Fleishman
was most enthusiastically encored for his
work in the Concert Allegro" and the
audience would not be satisfied till he had
played an encore.
Gustav Rowan, a local musician, ap-
peared both as composer and vocalist.
The San Francisco call., 1896-03-28

David Manlloyd was to have sung Rowan.s
20 Salutaris," but as telegram was re-
celved from him stating his inability to be
present the composer sang the 30 Salu-
taris' himself. The number was written
with violin obligato, which N. Lands
berger. played very we'll. The impression
made by Rowan as composer was very
favorable, and would undoubtedly have
been more so if Manlloyd had sung, for
Mr.. Rowan, although the possessor of
fine voice, has not yet learned how to
use it.
Miss Nellie Guisti sang the grand scene
and aria from Ambrose Thomas "Ham-
let." The scena is display of vocal fire.
works which is usually supposed to tax
the ability of Calve and was very am
bilious piece of work for a debutante. 1t
served, however, to show that Miss Guisti
has sweet, flexible voice, which she uses
easily and well, having too much tendency
to indulge in the tremolo.
c. w. Loyde played "The Lost Chord"
very well as cornet solo, and the orches-
ira performed three selections under the
direction of James Hamilton Howe, the
overture to "Tannhauser," which went
very well with the exception of some un-
certainty in the bass during the opening
bars, and Waldteufel's Summer Even
ing waltz, which was charmingly played.

OUT OF CIRCLE CITY.
The 600 Persons There Expect to Find
Much Gold This Year-Four
New Districts.

Casper Ellingen and Joseph Cooper of
Circle City, Alaska, who made the long
trip down the Yukon River on foot, arrived
here yesterday. Mr.. Ellingen is a young
man formerly from Wisconsin. He has
been in Alaska for several years, but only
about year ago went up to the far Yukon
diggings. He said at the Russ yesterday,
where he is staying:
"There is big rush to Alaska now, but
they are not all going to the Yukon.
Many are settling along the coast where
they expect to get gold. I don't know
where they will find it. but that is their
intention.
This winter $50 men and eleven women
are in Circle City, and they were all well
and happy when | left. They all expect
an active summer, and are looking forward
to making good deal of money. / have
been mining, but don't know whether 1
will continue it or go into some kind of
business there.
"Four new creeks have been opened
contiguous to Circle City. They are from
fifty to sixty-fve miles off and head close
together. The four creeks are Harrison,
Eagle, Bonanza and Greenhorn. The two
former empty into Birch Creek and the
latter in Crooked Creek. All of the new
guches promise well as far as prospected."
Mr.. Ellingen will remain here for prob.
ably two weeks.

He Informed Kalamazoo Friends
That He Had Been
Acquitted.
HIS NAME WAS SIGNED TO IT.
Meeting of Members Of the Congrega.
tion to Request Him to Tender
His Resignation.

There was a large meeting of anti
Brown members OF the First Congrega-
tional Church in DR.. Mcdonald S office last
evening for the purpose of considering fur
ther measures to protest against DR..
Charles Oliver Browns continuance as
pastor of the church.
Reporters were excluded, DR.. Mcdonald
explaining as the reason that nothing of
public interest was about to take place, the
meeting being simply advisory. He re-
ported that considerable progress had
been made IN the matter of getting sigma
lures to the request for Pastor Browns
resignation, and that everything looked
favorable for the rolling up of the mum Der
to 200 or more.
The Kalamazoo Daily Telegraph of
March IL contains the following dispatch:
SAN Francisco, Cal March 8, 1896.
L. NJ. Gates and Others-DEAR FRIENDS: am
acquitted on every charge. C. o. BROWN.
In another part of the same paper is a
verbatim report of the findings of the
ecclesiastical council.
Certain persons in Kalamazoo have
written to persons in this City giving the
purported details of DR.. Browns record in
that city.
The testimony taken before the ecclesi-
astical council, together with synopsis
of that in the Police Court and in the
Superior Court at the Davidson trial, have
been furnished the District Attorney. This
matter will be condensed and properly
arranged. after which it will be presented
to the Grand Jury, which is ready to
undertake the investigation.
At the meeting in the rooms of Dr. Nc
Donald last evening communication was
received which stated that the Christian
Endeavor Society had left the First Con-
gregational Church in a body. Until DR..
Browns withdrawal from the pulpit
of that church the society will hold
their regular meetings in Native
Sons Hall, on Mason street. near Geary
This may be considered movement that
the faithful adherents of the pastor must
certainly deplore and view as an indica-
ton that the breach between the two fac
tions of the First Congregational Church
is growing wider.
At the meeting last night it was re-
ported that the pew-hoIders were getting
up petition with the same object in view
as that Of the church members. 1t was
agreed that the names of the signers would
not be made public, as many of them OBJ
jected to any publicity. A vote of thanks
was extended to the press for its fair and
clear statements of the great trial.
Another meeting will be held in the Co.
lumbla building in the near future.

FORESTS RING,
How James O'NeiIl Came to Wear This
Noted Finger Ornament.

How James ONeiIl Came to Wear This
Noted Finger Ornament.
James O'Neill, the actor, who is soon
to appear in this City, and James Connor
Roach are fast friends. Some time ago
they met in Clark's Cafe in Boston, to-
gether with a number of other theatrical
people. After while the talk naturally
led to Mr.. O'Neill's forthcoming appear
ance in "Virginius." "reminiscences of
Forrest and Mccullough were in order,
when Mr.. Roach pulled big seal ring off
his finger, handed it to Mr.. O'Neill, say.
ing: There, Jim. is the ring Forrest al
ways wore; want you to- wear it next
NJ onday night when you play 'Virginius'
for the first time in Boston. May it bring
you the luck you deserve and which fol-
lowed Forrest wnen he wore it. l have
had it for many years. and for long time
it has been my intention to give it to you.
Your temperance in tragedy is fit oc-
casion for the gift. l do not consider it
proper for me, a comedian to wear ring
that should grace the finger of a tra-
gedian."
The ring consists of a solid: gold band
with large stone of cornelia. The head
of Forrest is engraved in bas relief.

side. The ring was first bought at an auc-
ton sale of Forests effects in PhiladeI-
pnld aOOuC twenty years ago Dy MIR. RIVER,
who sold it to Mrs. Lynch. She after
ward parted with it for considerable
sum to Louis Louthier, a famous collector
of antiquities. He in turn presented it to
Mr.. Roach as token of his esteem for the
author of "Rory of the Hill"
Mr.. O'NeIll feels pleased over being the
owner of Forests ring not only because
it was gift from his friend Roach but
also because it recalls to him dear mem
ories of the Jupiter Tenans of the profes-
sion, in whose company O'Neill served so
long and honorably when he was the
youngest Leading man in the country.
In this connection it may also be of in
terest to note that James O'Neill PLAYED
"Icilius'' to Edwin Forests .'Virginius"
for quite long time. This may also ac-
count for the fact that "oId timers de-
clare O'Neilps "Virginlus" to be nearer
that of Forests than any other actor who
has played the part since the demise of
that player.
Mr.. O'Neill commences two weeks en-
gagement at the Baldwin Theater next
Monday night. He will present during
the first week of his stay repertoire made
up as follows: Monday "Monte Christo,"
Tuesday "Virginius,"' Wednesday "The
Courier of Lyons" Thursday Monte
Cristo," Friday Hamlet" Saturday matt
nee "Virginius' and Saturday and Sunday

MARTIN KELLY'S MEETING.
A Weak Effort to Organize a Fac
ton in the Forty
Fifth

It was picturesque crowd that COM
posed the Republican" meeting at Carl
baldi Hall on Broadway last evening. The
affair was the weak effort of Martin Kelly
and Jerry Mahoney to organize dissent
ing faction in the Forty-ffth District, and
a more typical Martin Kelly political
meeting has not been seen for many q
day.
Kelly and Mahoney have put forward
Joe King and ]. B. O'Brien as district
manipulators of an opposition in that dis
trict to the regular party organization,
and last nights meeting was to organize a
club, with King as its boss. In order to
create a crowd several kegs of "steam"
were placed in the barroom at Kings ex-
pense, the magic proclamation, "Beerw

lot of his south-of-Market push and
sent them across the City, under

from the Mission, and City Hall janitors

the neighborhood, and there was a slight
sprinkling of respectability. With these
efforts the hall was not hlled.
T. B. O'Brien was made president of the
club, w. Engram secretary and Joe King
treasurer. O'Brien made a speech amid
the uproar from the barroom, during
which be lauded Martin Kelly and Joseph
King, talked of the A. P. A. and declared
that the Republicans of the district
needed general. A resolution was read
and adopted appointing Joseph King the

Sarsaparilla is spoken of highly every
where. Some people are more impressed
with its merits than others, it is true, but
in no case do you find any one who is will
ing to saw that they have found it do them
harm. That sarsaparilla is good is un-
doubtediy true if it is what it pretends to
be, but a preparation of iodides put up
under the name of sarsaparilla seems to
me TO be somewhat of fraud. l don't
know of my own knowledge that there is
any such sarsaparilla, but do know that

opinion, and one of the reasons why they

vegetable product, and from its use they
need fear no bad after effects.

He Will Do Politics by Going
Away andl lGiving Himself
a Chance.
A NEW DEAL IN DELEGATES.
The Buckleyites Will Recognize
South. .of-Market in a Revised
Apportionment.

Sam Rainey is going to health resort
in San Bernardlno County next week and
leave his oyster, the Junta, to his lieu
tenants, who will guard it until he gets
back to open it.
Rainey has mixed health and politics in
his journeys before. He is going away to
give himself a better chance. If he is
down in the San Bernardino mountains
his workers can do better in some
directions and the opposition to him will
not be so vigorous or so concentrated. The
selection of delegates to the State Conven-
ton is probably several weeks off, and he
will be back before time for the show
down. He has his fences in good condi-
ton now, and the pulling and the holding
to be done in the general committee is well
mapped out.
Chairman w. P. Sullivan says that he
will announce the committees on griev-
ances and on constitution and bylaws to-
day. These committees will be apt to peg
along for some time before they produce
ANYTHING definite. The aforementioned
committee will be closely watched by the
Ralneyites because it IS expected that
from this committee will come the expected
coup in the shape of an arrangement TO
appoint delegates. 1t appears certain that
this will be attempted. as the hopelessness
of winning delegate at primary cleo
ton is recognized by the "decent ele-
ment,' as the -Raineyites loudly call
themselves.
The Buckleyites are taking rest for a
few days. and Buckley is again at Ravens.
wood. Since the meeting of the general
committee the other night the leaders
have figured out a new distribution
of State Convention delegates among
the eighteen Assembly dis siricts. The
distribution of the 161 delegates appor-
toned to San Francisco by the State Cen
trail Committee, according to the resolution
adopted Monday evening, was eight to
each district leaving seventeen at large.
AT the meeting minority, representing
strong Democratic districts south of Market
street, contended that the delegates should
be apportioned among the districts ac-
cording to the Budd vote. The plan now
is to apportion the delegates on the basis
of one delegate to every 200 Budd votes,
taking no notice of fractions. This will
give several districts nine votes, and will
leave ten delegates at large.

WISE AND FOOTE CONFER,
Hot Words Are Followed by
Compliments From Both
Sides.
The District Attorney Refused to Pre-.
sent Evidence Favorable to
Williams.

Collector Wise and United States Dis
trict Attorney Foote had some hot words
in the office of the latter yesterday after
noon over the manner in which the Will
liams investigation is being conducted be-
fore the United States Grand Jury.
Though they are brother Democrats and
friends of many years standing there has
been GOODNESS between these two func-
tionaries for the Government for some
time. 1t has all grown out of the indignities
which the District Attorney declares the
Collector of the Port has heaped upon his
branch of the service.
Collector Wise has warmly championed
the cause of Inspector Richard Williams
through all of his troubles and will prob
ably stand by him 10 the end. 1t was
therefore quite natural for the Collector to
become irritated when Judge Foote re-
fused to regard the virtues of the inspec-
tor with any large degree of favor. The
former wanted the District Attorney to
present to the Grand Jury certain docu-
ments in support OF the splendid character
which the writer's declared Williams in
herited from long line of uncorrupted
ancestry and of which he himself is
shining example. Foote remarked with
some warmth that the virtues of the &C
cused Customs Inspector could not be
found with the Roentgen cathode ray.
The Collector took exception to what the
District Attorney sale of his favorite in
spector, and the office boy cleared the deck
for action.
But there were no hostilities. The Col
lector, however, was unable to swerve the
District Attorney from his purpose to do
anything that would in any way tighten
the burden under which the unhappy
Williams is now struggling, So the con-
ference, which lasted from o. clock until
after g. with Foote telling the Collector
that he was the foremost Democrat in the
State and should get the nomination on
the Democratic ticket for Governor two
years hence. Then they went over to
lime Juice corner and made astronomical
observations through the glassware.
1t is ,said that Collector Wise did not
has patent-on the breast of Judge Foote,
sa in the case of the now famous interview
with jor Moore.
Collector Wise was before the United
States Grand Jury yesterday. He went
over the whole fight between himself and
Major Moore, Special Agent of the Treas
ury Department. He said that Moore's
hatred of Williams had gone beyond all
reason, and amounted to persecution.
In his opinion Williams had violated no
regulation of the department. nor COM
mitted any wrong. He had investigated
the charges made by Moore, but was un-
able to find any evidence, except the
irresponsible evidence of Chinese high
binders, against the accused. For that
reason he believed in the Innocence of
Williams and would continue to do so
until he had been proven guilty beyond
any reasonable doubt.
