The San Francisco call., 1896-03-03

This appeal met with better response in
the East than In San Francisco and
nearly all of the money that has been sub
scribed is from the far Eastern States and
England, though the English people sub
scribed without solicitation upon reading
of the project. Boston, the old center Of
American culture, led the other cities and
it was ON that account that there was talk
of giving the fountain to Boston, wher it
was believed that the Supervisors would
not permit it to be placed in Portsmouth
square. Now, however, it is not proposed
to permit the monument to go away from
San Francisco.
Instead new subscriptions will be re-
ceived and the fountain will be made more
imposing than was at Irst proposed if the
requisite funds can be obtained. One
artist, who, like most artists. has no
money to spare. volunteered yesterday to
donate painting for the bep>at Of the

Local Republican Congressional

opmentS.
The Buckley Democratic General Com.
mittee Will Hold a Meeting
This Week.

Yesterday brought forth no important
DEVELOPMENTS regarding the Congressional
committees OF the Fourth and Fifth Con.
gresslonal districts, which are to manage
the San Francisco primaries for the selec-
tion of delegates to the Republican State
Convention. When the com mmittee of the
Fifth District will meet, and what it will
likely do, are not yet determined.
Yesterday evening A. Ruef, chairman OF
the body of State Central Committeeman
of the Fourth District who met on Satur-
day evening and ell ected Congressional
committee for that district, sent to the
seven gentlemen named as such commit
tee the following certificate of appoint
ment:
This certifes that in pursuance of the reso-
lutions adopted at the meeting OF the Republi-
1896, the members of the State Central Com
mittee, representing the Assembly districts
composing the Fourth Congressional District
OF California, met on February ~, 1896, and
appointed you member OF the Republican
Congressional Committee for said district, in
accordance with the call of the Republican
National Committee and the action OF said
control. management and supervision Of the
selection and election of delegates from said
district to the Republican National Conven-
ton which Is to meet in st. Louis on June 1t,
1896, and to do such other and further busl-
ness as may come before you, all OF which will
more fully appear in the resolutions of said
State Central Committee, a copy of which is
hereto annexed and made part thereof.
Chairman State Central Committeeman from
Fourth Congressional District OF California.
1t now rests with the committee thus
created to meet, organize and act accord
ing to Its own discretion.
Chris Buckley did not reach town yes
terday as expected, but will probably put
in an appearance to-day after his six
weeks absence at Livermore. To-day or
tomorrow Chairman Joseph Rothschild
of the Buckley general committee will
issue call for meeting of that commit
tee along about the end OF this week. AT
that meeting the chief business will likely
be the adoption of the report OF the COM
mittee on revision of the constitution, the
chief feature of which will be the creation
OF large executive committee. which will
become, in fact, the County Committee.
The Junta affairs presented no Ostensi-
Bile straightenings of their tangles. The
meeting of the new general com mittee is
being postponed from time to time await
ing the efforts OF Gavin McNab and Chair
man Sullivan to effect compromises in the
various districts where trouble exists. The
appearance of fight with Sam Rainey, or
OF Ralney's controlling the organization, is
sought by every means to be avoided.
There are rumors of a compromise with
Maxwell in the Forty.foqrth, which will
ton. 1t is said that by this compromise
Maxwell is to accept eleven delegates,
which will ostensibly constitute his
strength, and then secretly namc a major
ity OF the fourteen to be selected at head
quarters as anti-Rainey men.

handsomely, is all the talk everywhere

twenty feet wide of absolutely free milling
ore. There are no sulphurets or anything
else. 1t is gold simply.
"R. M. Straus, the superintendent Of the
mine, estimates that tho ore will average
$50 ton. He told me this, and said be

wanted the actual returns to be greater.
He thinks there are by this estimate fully
81 600 600 in sight. Other experts place the
ore at from $75 to $50 ton.
Fifty dollars. however, is enormously
rich, as every one knows. The discovery
was made by shaft sunk about 200 feet.
Since then the vein has been prosecuted

who is at the Grand. "The new camp of

little cove of the mountains, and the wind
has blown away the dust, so that the
ground is as hard as asphaltum.
''The worst of it is that there is no
water there, and there IS none within ff-
teen miles. Owing to the big find OF gold,
however, town is springing up there.
Already it has three saloons and some
dancehouses, and hear some more saloons

w transient nature of the many phys
ical ills, which vanish before proper eff
forts-gentle efforts-pleasant efforts
rightly directed. There is comfort in
the knowledge, that so many forms of
sickness are not due to any actual dis
ease, but simply to constipated condi-
tion of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative, Syrup of Figs. prompt
ly removes. That is why it is the only
remedy with millions of families, and is
everywhere esteemed so highly by all
who value good health. Its beneficial
effects are due to the fact, that it is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness without facilitating the
organs on which it acts. 1t is therefore
all important, in order to get it's bene-
fetal effects, to note when you pur-
chase, that you have the genuine arti-
Gle, which is manufactured by the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co. only and sold by
all reputable druggists.
If in the enjoyment of good health,
and the system is regular, laxatives or
other remedies are then not needed. If
afflicted with any actual disease, one
may be commended to the most skillful
physicians, but if in need of laxative,
one should have the best, and with the
well-informed everywhere, Syrup of
Figs stands highest and is most largely
used and gives most general satisfaction.

ARTISTIC DECORATIONS.
Some Handsome Designs Made by the
Drapery Club

| Drapery Club,
The Drapery club originated in the
studio Of a smart" New England girl,
whose artistic designs and very unique
work brought her fame and money,
says an exchange. The handsome win
ter studio in the big city was filled with
the summers rare collections from
beaches, marshes ard rocky fern lands.
From Maine to Florida she had gath
cred shells, MOSES, grasses and curios.
The club met once week. After
studio class, Office and school work was
done in the large dining room of
friends house, and on the big square
table they laid their plans, drawings
and latest designs. A speciality was
hangings for the new and pretty bou-
doris or the Moorish corners, the lovely
window seats and corners curtained
away from drawing-rooms and librar-
les.

Balzac on Color Influences.

Balzac's curious speculations suggest
the extent to which color influences our
human life He had noticed that a
woman who had taste for orange or
green gowns was quarrelsome; one who
wore a yellow or black apparel, with
out apparent cause, was not to be trust
ed; preference for white showed CO.
quette spirit; gentle and thoughtful
women prefer pink; women who regard
themselves as unfortunate prefer pearl
gray; lilac is the shade particularly af-
fected by "over-ripe beauties; where
fore, the great author held, lilac hats
are mostly worn by mothers on their
daughters marriage day and by women
more than 40 years old when they go
visiting. These theories are founded
upon the principles Of color, as already
laid down-namely, that red and yellow
excite; green, tempered by blue, is bill
ious; orange is fiery; gray is cold and
melancholy; lilac is light shade of
purple, the most retiring color of the
scale.-Popular Science News.
