The Pacific Union Again
Resolves to Go
Out West.
Board of Directors Authorized
to Buy One of Two Choice
Locations.
Important Meeting Last Night Rem.
dered a Final Decision-Large
Attendance of Members.

An important meeting of members of
the Pacific Union Club was called to
order at o'clock last evening by Presi-
dent E. w. Hopkins. One hundred and
twenty members of the institution at
tended, and by vote of rs to 90 the club
reannounced its determination to buy
land and build house on Van Ness
avenue.
The widest range for the expression of
opinion was given to the speakers. Early
in December the club voted in favor of
the Van Ness-avenue proposition, and
when the result of that vote was an
nounced F. A. Hyde and others passed a
protest around and obtained ninety-three
signatures in favor of meeting to recon-
slider the action. In order to get the
fullest represen tation possible postal cards
were sent out by the directors, and every
member of the club was informed of the
meeting and its purpose.
The discussion last night was animated
and prolonged. Mr.. Hyde maintained
that the voting franchises of the entire
club should be represented. He fought
stubbornly against the proposed change
and sought further delay. Members

and energetic as ever, and they had the
advantage OF eloquent takers and a de-
cislve majority of the voters.
Mayor-eIect James D. Phelan unfoIded
a new proposition. He described the
superior features of land on the corner of
Van Ness avenue and Suffer street, and
obtained the adoption of a resolution Civ
ing the board of directors the option of
purchasing this property or the land on
Bush street and the avenue. Colonel c.
f. CrocKer owns the Sutter-street corner
The dimensions are 120x220 feet, but the
club does not want more than the space of
120x120 feet.
An estimate was made that SIS 900 add1-
tional would have to be raised in order to
get this land which Mr.. Phelan so highly
praised. He fancied that the club would
readily subscribe that additional sum.
The Bush street and Van Ness avenue lot
is figured to cost $85, 900. The Suffer-
street proposition represents 500, coo for q
site.
Bonds to the amount of $3.50, 900 have
been subscribed for by members of the
club. To successfully carry forward the
proposed departure $780, 900 will be neces-
sary.
The president entertains no doubt that
the additional bonds of $4,000 will be
taken. There is no thought OF going out
side of the club for subscriptions.
The expression OF the club will was so
fairly made last night that the officers of
the institution now regard the question
of moving as settled. The next step in
order will be the appointment of commit
tees to collect subscriptions and negotiate
for the possession and mortgage OF the
property TO secure the bonds.

THE FIsHERMAN's PARADISE.
Charles j. Wheeler's Talk on Fishing
in Alaskan Waters.

in Alaskan Waters.
The San Francisco Fly-casting Club
met last night in the office of the Fish
Commissioners, President Mansfield in
the chair.
1t was announced that DR.. Gilbert of
Stanford University will on the next meet
ing of the club appear and tell of the
fresh-water fishes in California.
Charles S. Wheeler gave an informal
talk on fishing in Alaska. He said that
he could not obtain any information in
San Francisco, Portland Seattle and Vic
toria B. c., as to what is necessary for a
fisherman to provide himself with for the
northern waters, and that he was aston
ished at the ignorance of people on the
subject.
He gave very glowing description OF
the trip after leaving Victoria, going
through the channel, and told in a most
interesting manner of the wonderful
scenery between the city named and
Juneau.
Salmon Creek, four miles north OF
Juneau, he said, is very much like the
Lagunitas of this State, and there with
the black gnat he caught the first trout.
This was somewhat different from the
trout of California.
Mr.. Wheeler told of the great amount of
fsh-halibut, cod and sole-that may be
caught with hook and line and of the cut
throat trout in a stream north of Juneau,
and OF the many kind of salmon abound
Ing in Alaska.
In conclusion Mr.. Wheeler said: ''Ii
there are ten fishermen who have q
months time to spare and are willing to put
500 each in pool L would advise them 10
go to Puget Sound, hire small steamer
and crew and provisions for about $25 a
day and go on for a fishing trip in the
Alaskan waters. There they will have the
finest of sport and see the most beautiful
and grand scenery to be seen on American
territory"
The gentleman was given a rising vote
of thanks for his talk.

FUNERAL OF A FRENCH EXILE.

The Socialist Labor Party Recognizes
His Devotion to Their Cause.
The scarlet ensign of socialism, typical
of the one crimson color of the blood of
humanity, was at haIfmast yesterday on
the Turk-street Temple, the socialist head
quarters, in respect to the memory of one
of the active devotees of the socialist
movement, Francois LIE Blanc, mem Der
of the French branch OF the Socialist
Labor party. Deceased was also m m
Der of the Improved Order OF Red Men,
being a past sachem of Seminole Tribe,
and the funeral was held under the
auspices of the latter society from the
Red Mems Hall on Post street, opposite
Union square.
The funeral was attended by large
delegation of comrades of the Socialist
Labor party, including Oliver Everett,
August LIE Laroch and Theodore Krouse,
members of the American, French and
German branches. The funeral CRATIC n
was delivered by Theodore Lynch, secre-
tary of Liberty Branch. at the chapel of
the crematorium in the Odd Fellows
Cemetery.
His remarks were listened to with at
tentive interest by the large congregation
of mourners and friends of the deceased,
aIl6I WHICH Tue I6naluS were CTSu1dJeQ
and the ashes placed IN the copper urns
made for THEN reception.
Mr.. Lynch, after abiding TO the fact
that they were asse N 5led for the second
time in few short days to pay the last
tribute of respect to a comrade and brother
Socialist, gave a vivid and eloquent de-
scription of the sense of justice and equity
that characterized the deceased, ana al
Iuded in descriptive manner to his con-
nection with the Socialist cause. He con-
tinued:
Francois LIE Blanc, whose bier we stand
around to-day, was man worthy of the honor
and esteem of every true lover of human free
dom and equal rights, was born over sixty
years ago in the province of Auvergne, France.
We find him in Paris, while yet young man,
fighting in the ranks as confrere of the de-
voted men who raised the standard of the
commune protest against the social and
Industrial conditions OF their time. Behind
the ramparts of Montmatre and the barricades
he showed those qualities OF courage, valor
and fidelity TO principle that marked him as
the doyen OF local socialists and which earned
for him the hatred of the tyrant and was the
cause of his Punishment and exile to the
French penal convict settlement OF New Gale
dopia; but, like the hero that he was prosecu-
ton and Imprisonment only intensified his
devotion to the cause and his hatred of the
ubiquitous system that oppressed the poor and
lowly and his activity and willingness to pro-
mote the advancement of socialism resulted in
the formation of the French branch OF the
Socialist party. He man worthy of re-
on political or economic lines, soldier ever
ready to do or dare for the cause OF justice and
equity, one OF those noble hearts that ache to
see the day dawn of our victory.

Cause and Effect.

Success can only be assured by going back
to the cause in the treatment of disease.
Many Doctors can see the effects only, such
as are visible to the eye, and treat the SYM
ptoms, but while the cause exists cure is
impossible and herein lies the secret OF so
many failures. The skilled Specialist devotes
all his study to few diseases and become as
familiar with them as you do with the faces
of your family. When he sees a Skin Dis
ease, he knows just " here the cause lies, and
just what to do.
If You have exposed yourself to disease and
there appears suspicious sore, to his ex-
perienced eye, 1t becomes plain whether it ia a
poison in the blood or a local trouble.
