AS STRAIGHT AS A STRING" "AS
bright as a dollar" "as strong as an
OK" is William Mycroft of 546 Minna
street. In the parlance of his trade he
"slings the hammer" and right merrily
does the anvil resound as the sparks sput-
ter and fly and the great big beads of hon.
est toll fall down around and about the
cheerful, healthful face of William N.Y.
croft. saw him yesterday. He stopped
for few moments and told me what he
thought of the great California herb
remedy, JOYS VEGETABLE .SARSA-
PARILLA. He told me how he had been
suffering from liver trouble, then pains
in his back, how he kept awake at night
scratching. scratching-always scratching;
how he took a medicine with iodide of
potash; how the scratching became worse;
then he used the California herb remedy,
JOYS VEGETABLE SARSAPARILLA.
He mended from the first week. He got
better and better: was now we'll. ae said;
81 am glad insisted upon getting JOYS
VEGETABLE SARSAPARILLA. You
know some druggists always try to make
you take just what you don't want. When
went in for my second bottle had to
talk an hour before I got it. You bet,
get JOYS VEGETABLE SARSAPA-
RILLA when 1 want good blood purifier.
See-look at my hands and face. They
are not filled with blood bIotches, are they?
Well, they were six weeks ago; that's be-
fore began to use JOYS VEGETABLE
SARSAPARILLA." As I left 1 could
hear the good man beat ont on his anvil
joys. JOYS, JOYS for the jaded.

the report that United States District At
torney foote seemed to consider that the
LABOR commissioner as a State officer was
gong outside OF his duties in taking up a
matter that properly belongs TO the Fed
eral courts, and that if he does intend to
interest himself in the Oregon matter, he
lFoote) would like to see Mr.. Fitzgerald
personally.
He stated In addition that he would like
to see Business Agent McIvor. The Labor
Commissioner evidently considers that
Mclyor will receive but little satisfaction
from the United States Attorney, and his
conclusions are based upon the position
taken by Mr.. Foote upon a similar case at
the Preside investigated several months
ago. In the correspondence on that occa-
sIon Mr.. Foote sent a letter to the Labor
commissioner, in which occurs the ex-
preston.
Section 373S U. S. R. s., provides that eight
nours snail constitute days work, but there
is nothing IN this section which prohibits an
employer from requiring the laborers under
him 10 work more than eight hours day, pro-
V1ded he pays them for the extra time.
The letter goes on to say that the sec
ton refers more to compensation tina to
prohibitory limit as to time and that in
cases OF emergency longer hours may be
required of the laborers, and the extra
time paid for.
McIvor will to-day call upon Mr.. Foote
to see what can be done in the case. 1t
has been suggested that the payee's be en-
aloined from paying for work not done ac-
cording to the provisions of the Federal
law, as set forth in all Government con-
tracts. In the event of Mr. Foote not de-
Gliding to take hold of the case and prose-
cute the offenders, the matter will be
placed in the hands of the Building
Trades Council, and by that body placed
before the United States Grand Jury
where it will at least have hearing.

forged proxies. The contesting delega-
ton is going to Sacramento representing
In fact but Kelly and Mahoney, and each
member of the delegation who Loyalty
stands up at the backs of Kelly and
Mahoney must give as his warrant 1900
fraudulent votes with which the returns
OF the farcical Kelly Mahoney primary
were stuffed.
Three hundred of Kelly and Mahoney' s
push" and 1900 stuffed ballots are the
AUTHORIZATION which the Republicans of
San Francisco have given the Kelly-M Ma
honey delegation to stand forth and pre-
tend to represent them at the State Con-
vention.
But with contest born in fraud and
triekery and with a delegation that repre-
sents the 1900 tailies fraudulentlv and
laDorlously marked against the name of
each delegate, Kelly and Mahoney are 60
ing to Sacramento with brass band and
will make the best play of which they are
capable, hoping to get the recognition they
seek.
The prospect that the State Convention
will turn down the entire Republican
party of the Fourth District, represented
by delegation nominated by the people
and honestly elected at an open and fair
primary under the auspices of the regular
party organization, is SO impossible that
Kelly and Mahoney are losing heart.
Mahoney banked everything on getting a
friendly assistant secretary to put their
delegation on the temporary roll. Within
the past day or two this prospect has dis
appeared.
While Kelly and Mahoney were talking
noisily about their advantages in playing
this trick the local party looked on with
silent amusement or uncOncern. Now
that the convention has drawn near and
the fact has clearly appeared that the
regular delegation, which represents the
party, will not have to step aside at the
door for Martin Kelly and Jerry Mahoney,
these freebooters have grown desperate.
In their desperation, Kelly and Ma
honey, through two or three of their
allies, who are SO thoughtless that they
are not ashamed to stand beside them,
yesterday sent to THE CALL a scurriIous
letter, in which they brazeniy talk of
their representing 'the party" claiming
with humorous effrontery that their dele
cation was elected by 1000 votes,' and
even asserting that opposition to Kelly
and Mahoney was doing great damage to
the Republican party
The rump Kelly -Mahoney contest has
now but Its false pretensions and it's brass
band, which will drain its resources.
As most ills bring something in the way
of compensation the Kelly-Mahoney sore
in the Fourth District will leave the party
in a more healthy condition by getting
Kelly and Mahoney out ofits blood.
The executive committee of the State
Central Committee will meet this evening
to transact business of Importance, and at
II A. NJ. to-day the Fifth District Congress
sional Committee will meet at the office of
John Z. Richards in the Crocker building
to finally pass upon the returns from that
district,

The Kelly.Mahoney Fraud Shows
What 1t Is Made Of
Inside.
THEIR ONE PROSPECT FADES
Republicans of the State Hold Their
Noses as the Kelly.Mahoney
Contest Nears.

Martin Kelly and Jerry Mahoney have
grown desperate within the last day or two,
since they have seen fade away the possi-
billty OF their getting their fake delegation
from the Fourth District on the temporary
roll of the Republican State Convention.
The fortunes of the State Convention do
not worry Kelly and Mahoney at all.
They would seek to make the State Con-
vention but stepping-stone to the sewers
OF municipal politics. This may seem q
rem arkable metaphor, but it is a Iegiti-
mate one, politically considered.
From the time that Kelly came from a
part of the world that no man but Chief
of Detectives Lees knows, and started a
lunkshop where the thievlng water rats
sold their old brass, and then mounted
into south-of- Market Democratic politics,
where he remained a short time until
Chris Buckley kicked him out of the busi-
ness, his interest in politics has wholly
concerned its commercial features, and
his ways in politics have always been
through the lowest depths of vileness
which the rotten places in City politics
could provide.
Kelly has always looked for something
political to sell, to trade. to tax or to steal.
He has, by the arts of a small political
boss whose power was welded in Tar
Flat. ever got as close as possible to the
patronage offices of this City, and while
there has done but one good thing-pro-
vide decent people with further good rea-
sons for municipal reform.
Through long succession of wears Mar
tin Kelly's name has been connected with
the stealing of lunb ber from the School
Department; with petty salary and other
thefts from TIE Street Department; with
a succession of Grand Jury indictments,
which were lodged by technicalit1es, and

THE HOWARD CLUB.
Denounces Kelly and Mahoney and
Votes for an Unpledged
DeteQatfOn

AT meeting of the Howard Club last
evening at Pythian Hall Judge A. B.
Treadwell denounced Kelly and Mahoney
as the most corrupt and scheming myr-
mydons" of the METROPOLIS. He said:
ut was only two years ago that I
worked for this man Mahoney for State
Senator, and / never did anything in my
life for which am half so ashamed
This Mahoney, together with his ras-
cally colleague, has tried harder to place
the Republican party of San Francisco on
the pedestal of scorn and vItuperation
than any other man in this City.
These two consummate boodlers have
not following of twenty-five good and
honest citizens in their district, and these
few are imposed upon. We will show these
men when the proper time comes that the
people by the Golden Gate are not to be
trified with
1t was resolved by unanimous vote that
the action of Supervisor Joe King in
voting with the Democratic mem bers of
the board to give the plans of the new
municipal building to Shea & Shea in
stead of w. 0. Banks, whose plans are
deemed better and whose figures are lower,
should be condemned. 1t was believed
that, other things being equal, he should
affiliate with the members of his own
party.
The speakers of the evening were Will
liam E. Bates, Fred Frey and George A.
Wentworth. Their speeches were devoted
to consideration of the general issues be-
fore the Republican party in the coming
campaign. To man they were in favor
of unpledged delegations.
81 believe" said Bates, "that it is for the
best interests of the Republican party to
send an unpledged delegation to st. Louis,
and it is the duty of the members of this
club to use every means that lie in their
power to further this desirable end"
Said Frey: There is not doubt that
the sentiment of the party is for an un-
pledged delegation. This is as it should
be. As usual the Republican party has
chosen the right thing"
Wentworth spoke in a similar strain,
with the addition of denouncing the Kelly
Mahoney method of doing politics.

A STRIKE ON THE OREGON
Union Painters Ordered Off
the Big Battle.Ship
Yesterday.

Early yesterday morning the union
painters at work at Hunters dry-dock
scraping and painting the battle-ship Ore
gon were called out on a strike by Busi-
ness Agent McIvor of the Building Trades
Council. The reason was that the paint
ing contractor, man named Thomas of
20 Jessie street, is working the force nine
hours when the Federal law states that
eight hours shall constitute days work
The strike was ordered by the Painters
Union.
In deciding upon this course it was not
with any expectation of tieing up the job.
In the first place the union painters were
sadly in the minority in the gang and Sec
ond. their places could be easily filed by
roustabouts and common laborers. The
purpose was to have the eight.hour Fed
eral law tested. The painters and other
union men claim that this law is being
continually violated, particularly by the
proprietors of the Union Iron Works,
where the men in all departments are
obliged to labor nine hours and twenty
minutes.
This strike is slap at the Union Iron
Works as much as at Contractor Thomas,
who is said to perform all of this foundry's
ship painting.
"A IeW Gays ago FOREMAN murphy OF
Thomas shop asked the union to send
him a number of men to work nine hours
on the Oregon. He offered to pay time
and halt for the overtime, but the union
refused to furnish the inen for several rea-
sons. 1t was suggested that Thomas put
more men to work and work them all
eight hours, but this he refused to do, as
he is running nine-hour shop and it was
evident that he had no intention Of con-
forming to union rules.
When the tug started from the foot of
Mission street, with ten painters on board,
McIvor ordered the union men ashore and
all responded, while the others went to the
drydock. McIvor al once went to Labor
Commissioner Fitzgerald, who promised
to do all in his power as an official and
citizen to have the eight-hour law en-
forced. Deputy Greene was dispatched to
see United States District Attorney ii. S.
Foote, with a view of interesting him in
maintaining the eight-hour law. Later in
the day McIvor, Fitzgerald and Deputy
Dam held another conference. Deputy
Greene returned during the interview with

DO YOU WANT
MANHOOD?

Every man who has any pride
in his makeup knows how
precious to his life's happiness,
how necessary to his self
respect, is the feeling of strong,
vigorous manhood. No man
enjoys life who has always
hanging over him the dread of
Nervous Debility. There is that
deep-rooted disgust with him
self, the fear that his friends
will discover his condition. It
robs life of all that is enjoyable
all that makes life happy
peace of mind ; jovial, sociable
disposition; the confidence in
self. 1t takes from him the
bright side of life-that healthy

VALLEY ROAD AFFAIRS.
The Call Issued for the Payment of the
Seventh Installment.

At the regular meeting of the directors
of the Valley road yesterday the call for
the seventh assessment of 10 per cent on
the 24355 shares of capital stock was is
sued. This is due Immediately and will
be delinquent on June 1. 1t will bring
$243, $50 into the treasury.
The contract for the bridge over the San
Joaquin River awarded last week to Cot
ton Brothers, was confirmed.
No action was taken on the matter of
issuing bonds or of resorting to other
means to raise money to continue the con-
struction of the road. as there has been no
meeting of the special nnance committee,
although the Examiner stated not long
ago that this committee had decided upon
81, 900, 900 bond issue.

A Sponge Inserted in the Nos
trils of the Crack Race
Mare.
ONE FRAUD WAS SUCCESSFUL.
Decision, a Heavily Played Favorite
on Friday, Was Beaten Through
This Sort of Treatment.

Perhaps for boldness and daring
dirtier job was never attempted on a Cali
fornia race course than the one that was
tried at the Bay District track yesterday,
and which in its results was failure.
Marjorie. a plunger on favorite, was to
have been stopped" and the race-going
public robbed of thousands of dollars.
The filly, daughter of the grand race
horse Iroquois, was a good performer in
the West previous to being brought to
California by her present owner. Frank
Phillips, a well-known bookmaker and
turfman. On Tuesday of last week the
fiIly won a five and half furlong dash in
spread-eagle fashion.
Opposed to moderate field yesterday
she looked moral" and the jobbers saw
their opportunity. The event in which
she was starter was the last on the card.
In the opening betting one or two of the
books laid to 5 against the speedy
daughter of Iroquois, but from the food of
coin that poured in upon them quickly
rubbed to 6 to 5, the prevailing market
price.
In grand condition in the morning, Mr..
Phillips trainer was surprised to see the
1avorite warm up greatly distressed. The
officials in the stand were Immediately
apprised of her condition, and, after some
deliberation, all bets were declared off,
and Marjorie was scratched. A veterinary
surgeon was called into reQuisltlOn, and
after an examination. it was thought she
had been "doped." The pupils of the eyes
were distended; the membrane of the nos
trils showed signs of irritation, and the
filly acted cranky.
A slight abrasion in one of the nostrlls
looked as though it might have been made
by the puncUure of hypodermic syringe.
Thus the matter stood as the crowd left
the track.
Not satisfied, Owner Phillips again had
DR.. Rowen make more thorough exami-
nation of the fast sprinter when the crowd
had departed for home, and with startling
results.
Noticing watery condition of one of the
eyes the veterinary inserted probe in the
nostril and was rewarded by withdrawing
q fine silken sponge that had been skill
fully inserted therein, and which was the
cause of the fllIy's heavy breathing and
attendant discomfort. The cat was now
out of the bag
The curiositv of the veterinary was now
aroused. On Friday of last week the de-
cidedly warm tavorite Decision, in a seven
furlong run decided over the inner course,
fattered her hackers by showing some OF
her accustomed speed the first part of the
journey and then winding up at the tail
end OF the procession, disgusting last
The tilly seemed to be afflicted with symp-
toms similar to those of Marjorie, and up
to yesterday was still under the weather.
Both racers stabbed in the same row,
down in the hollow. Decision was brought
out, and continuing his researches, DR..
Roweu, after much trouble, removed
sponge much saturated with mucous from
the nostril of the distressed animal, who
gave vent TO a sign of relief at its extrac-
tion.
Now those sponges were not placed there

boys. The vile acts were instigated by

DIR. Hemphill on presbyterianism.

DR.. John Hemphf1 of Calvary Presbyterian
Church delivered an eloquent lecture on
"Why am Presbyterian" in the Howard Pres
byterian Church last evening, under the au-
spices of the Young Peoples Presbyterian As
soeiation of this City. The lecture was the
concluding one in a course which has been
running during the whole winter, delivered
by professors of the Presbyterian Theological
Seminary and City pastors. There was good
attendance, and the lecture was greatly en-

joyed by all. The doctor said he was Presby.
terian because the Presbyterian church was
apostolic catholic, loyal to Christ, and had a
history dear to the heart of every true Ameri-
can.
