MUNICIPAL TICKET
HAS BEEN RECEIVED,
Continued from First Page.

to reserve his decision on the fling of certif-
Gates of nomination for municipal candidates
for Office in the City and County of San Fran
cisco was delivered to me this forenoon.
The following extract from section 1892 of
the Political Code presents the duties of the
Registrar in reference to fling certificates of
nominations:
"Whenever any certificate OF nomination is
presented for fling to any officer authorized
to file the same, such officer shall forthwith,
upon receipt of the same and before fling ex-
anime the same, and if there is any defect
omission or reason why the same should
not be filed such officer shall then
and there forthwith designate in writ
ing the defects, omission or reason
why such certificates cannot be fled, and re-
turn the said certificate to the person present.
ing the same, with such written designation of
defect, omission or reason for not filing the
same"
1t is evident from this section that the Regis
trar cannot grant the delay desired
The right to filing must be determined by
the political status OF the applicant at the time
of presenting his certificate OF nomination. The
action of another convention meeting tonight
could not possibly affect the rights of a candi-
date of a convention which nominated its
ticket on Saturday night last, so that no bene-
fetal results can be obtained by delay. Yours
respectfully, w. NJ. HINTON, Registrar
At 10 o'clock in the evening Thomas d.
Riordan, }. Alva Watt, Alexander Tru-
man and County Clerk Curry called
upon the Registrar in his office. the
Registrar being very hard working man.
and Mr.. Hinton, without any formality,
announced that he had made up his mind
to accept and file the municipal ticket
nominated by the Auditorium convention
last Saturday night, but that he had taken
the legislative ticket under advisement.

At THE CITY THEATERS,
" Shadows of a Great City" Seen
With New Hero at
the Grand.
Pretty Schoolgirls at the Alcazar,
Frawleys in The Lost
Paradise"

The company at the Grand was more in
its element last night in Shadows of a
Great City" than it had been the previous
week in "Mr. Potter of Texas" The play
has plenty of melodramatic situations and
it contains opportunities for scenic display
which are not to be found in the drama
founded on Gunter's book. Melodramatic
scenes and pieces of startling stage
mechanism are the speciality of Manager
Moroscos regime, and last night the audi
ence had its moneys worth of both. The
boat scene, with real water, was particu-
larly good piece of staging.

their certificates tomorrow they will not
be entitled to file them as the Republican
ticket?" was asked.
No." replied Mr.. Hinton. "but they
may file as National Republicans or by
any other name they choose if the law is
complied with. There cannot be two
tickets of the same party name in the field
at the same time.''
Republicans were iubilant last night
over the fact of the acceptance of the
ticket of the regular Republican Conven-
ton.
They were confident all along that the
Registrar would take this course. because
there was no getting behind the title OF
the County Committee that called the
convention and ofthe convention itself.

Presbyterian Union.

Rev. 0. ]. Miller of the Evangelical
Lutheran Church addressed the Presby-
terian Ministerial Union yesterday on
"The Ministry of Power" He SAID that
a minister's sufficiency could come only of
God and drew vivid picture of the work
that could be accomplished by conse-
Grated ministry. How can we go forth
to preach unless we have the spirit of
God ?" asked Mr.. Miller, and he added
that a cruci6ed ministry. one baptized
unto sorrows and sufferings, should and
could perform miracles as the apostles
performed them.

at the Alcazar last night. Robertsonian COM

September 25, 1896.
I, Mrs. Agnes Feely, living at
Silver Heights, San Francisco,
desire to say that I brought my
child, Agnes, aged y years, to
the Office of DR.. F. L. Sweany,
1877 Market street, S. F., she
being afflicted with a malady of
the right eye. 1 had previously
taken her to our family doctor,
who said he was at a loss to say
what the precise trouble was, or
how to remedy it. Doctor
Sweany at once stated my
child's case to be one of kera-
tits. My child was totally blind
in that eye at the first visit,
September Is, 1896. Now, on
September 25, she can see per-
fectly out of the eye. 1 heartily
appreciate the rapid cure of this
serious eye affection, great
matter for a child anxious to
pursue school studies, and 1
have offered to testify this much
on behalf of kindness and skill
so effectively rendered by DR..
Sweany.

Two men stood in one OF the riding
academies the other day watching
Aurel Batonyi as he was driving q very
pretty high stopper to a dog cart
about the ring. II was evident from
their conversation that one was n
driver and the other was not, but both
of them appreciated the way that Mr..
Batonyi used the whip, and this led
to discussion on the proper method
ofhandling the whip, OF which so many
lapses from good form are seen daily
in the park.
"There is right way and wrong
way to hold the whip" said the driver
TO his companion. "At no time should
gentleman driver have his whip out
of his hand. The etiquette of the
driving box is very well defined and
there are any quantity Of little details
that mark the difference distinctly be-
tween good form and bad form.
CAS- an example of how essential it
is to turn out we'll, ! can refer yor to
the carriage and harness classes at the
recent horse show at Madison Square
Garden. AMI particularly the tandem
classes. 1t should be remembered
that the tandem classes we're very hard
to win in, and if the whip happened
TO be he'd at the wrong elevation it
might throw out tandem in n class
where appointments counted.
Every driver should know how to
catch whip. This is of particular
importance when driving fours. The
whip used on coach has a stock about
six feet long and the thong is usually
about twelve ieet long. When tho
whip is not in usc five or six feet of
the thong has TO be taken care OF in
some way, and TO DO this when tho
driver throws the lash out and touches
the leaders bit, he catches tho end
OF its return in his whip hand, and
throwing the thong in tho air, he
strikes il with the stock some distance
up from the point OF the lash, SC that
il winds itself about the stock aud re-
mains there out Of the way.
"You will notice that when n driver
wishes to use the whip again by "A sim
pie movement of the wrist he uuwinds
the thong and throws out the lash
where he wishes. This is all done with
one hand, of course, and the other
hand is left wholly free, to use IN
handling the reins. New York Mail

Shakespeare and Oar Language.

There is an Old, very old, tale told
OF venerable lady who, after seeing
the play OF "Hamlet" Tor the first time,
said: at is very good play as phys
go but it is made up OF quotations"
This good dame, although she was
probably unaware of it, was acknowl-
edging in roundabout way perhaps
the Indebtedness OF our language to
the great bard; phrases, sentences
and sometimes whole lines from his
writings have been crystali2ed, as IL
were. into colloquiAl English, and
there are probably more quotations
drawn ir om the works of Shakespeare
than from tho works of any other
author, ancient or modern. Buffalo
