OPPENHE|M IN CANADA,
With Him There Is Also Sup.
posed to Be One Hundred
Thousand Dollars.
Persuaded His Mother to Turn Her
Property Over to Him by
Trust Deed.

Philip Oppenhe1m, who had been or
dered by Judge Prewett OF the Sacramento
Superior Court to turn over yesterday to
T. NJ. Yates as receiver some 100000,
which he held as trustee for his mother,
has disappeared and is supposed now to
be in Toronto, Canada.
The defaulting trustee is the son of
Raphael o. Oppenheim, Sacramento
capitalist who died in $780, leaving an es-
tate valued at $4,000. By his will he left
every thing to his widow, with whom he
had not got along we'll for years, on
condition that in whatever she did for the
three children-Philip, Manuel and Cali
fornia-she should treat all alike.
Philip, however, persuaded his mother
to turn over everything to him by u trust
deed, by the terms of which Philip was to
have control of all the property during his
mother lifetime.
Mrs Oppenheim says she signed the
deed while ignorant OF its true sign1h-
canoe. When she realized, however, what
unlimited power she had given Philip, she
endeavored in vain to regain possession OF
the property. Finally she instituted a
suit, in which she was joined by her son
Manuel, and when the case came to trial
Judge Prewett made an order directing
Philip to turn over all the property In his
possession to Receiver Yates.
This morning, at an appointed hour, the
Judge. receiver and all others interested
met at the Safe Deposit Building and
waited for Oppenheim, but, as stated, they
waited in vain.

introduced his California-grown tobacco
Brandt began the manufacture of the lea
into cigars, and the union discovered in a
very short time that he was employing
Chinese in their manufacture.
All efforts to have him change to white
labor seem to have been of no avail and
at last the union declared boycott upon
the product OF Brandt's factory. Last even
ing at the meeting of the union it was de-
cided to appeal to the San Francisco La
Dor Council for support in the boycott
upon Brandt's cigars.
The committee of ten, to whom the mat
ter was originally referred, was instructed
to call upon the Building Trades Council
and the labor organizations in tn City to
support the boycott. The committee will
also visit all retail dealers who carry
Brandt's stock and ask them to cease deal
Ing with the manufacturer until such time
as he discharges his Chinese cigar-makers
and employs white cigar-makers in their
stead.

the officers for the ensuing term. The
election will be held at the ext regular

The wharfngers and collectors are look
ing forward with pleasure to the 1st OF
July. New uniforms are the order of the

body is pleased with them. Chief w Wharf-
niger Root has one that he wears now,
and it gives him soldierly appearance
that sits we'll on the shoulders OF the rep
reser,tative of the Commissioners. The
wharfneers and collectors are splendid
body of men, and when arrayed in their
new suits there will not be finer looking
set on the water front of the United States
than they. Commissioner Chadbourne is
very much interested in the new move,
and he intends aking the service on the
water front an ideal one. The colonel be-
lieves in military discipline and his firm
yet gentle rule has already worked Won
ders in the service.
The Stockton steamer Captain Weber

band on the Walker began to play the
wild skirl of the pipes drowned the

NO SILVER CRAZE IN THIS.

America, blest country, our highly favored
land,
Where is there on all the earth spot to
equal thee?
Thy happy smiling homes contrast with
scenery most grand;
And mighty rivers shipping bear TO
scarcely migntier sea,
Carrying food to many lands from ever
teeming stores;
Greatly blessing those who send and
those who 1t receive.
And thou welcometh with outstretched
arms to thy hospital BILE shores
The many hsrdworked thousands who
would brighter futures weave.
A fitting framework this for the true,
courageous men
Who nobly gained our liberties 'gainst
odds that would appai.
They mighty battles fought and won
on field and sheltered glen.
Unselbsh, patriotic, grand were they
who risked their all;
They fought not for earth's wealth or
fame, nor yer for selfish power,
But to make their country free were
cruel sufferings borne.
And trampled not on others rights In
their triumphant hour
But willing shared their blessings
with the poor, weak and forlorn.
A picture OF the past this is not of the
present time,
When men would sell their country to
gain their traitorous ends;
Who think IL not oisgraceful to spit out
lying slime,
Aud would lead rs to destruction while
posing as our friends.
They dazzle men with "siiver" talk that
soon would fetters be,
And fettered fast would free trade
bring to beat out hope and life.
They hold up bright-hued pictures, but
behind deep gloom we see,
For cruel base Oppression ends- Ia fra
tricidal strife.
We want no empty orator, whose tongue
would us befog;
An animal diminutive,, with.largs and
streaming tail,
but one who his appendage wags, not
a tail that wags the dog.
Such only in this crisis OF our country
can avail.
Then men.of every class arise, from your
slumbers deep awake,
II noble freemen you would live and
not as slaves be- bound.
Feel you not the influence that our strong
foundations shake; n
Hear you not the foe advance with
wild discordant sound.
Remem per your forefathers, who bled to
make you free;
Shout for our constitution in no uncer-
tain notes.
Not to enrich a certain part should the
rest as captives bo.'
Thus Mckinley, and not Bryan, by
right should have our votes.

Blasphemy of the Populists.
To THE EDITOR OF THE SUN:

To THE EDITOR OF THE SUN:
SIR-If actions speak louder than
words, has not new issue been added
TO the strange politics of 1896?
For the first time in the history OF the
republic the Cross of Christ has been
subjected to indignity by q considerable
body OF men.
At the Populist convention on Satur-
day wooden cross surmounted by a
huge brown peper crown, meant TO typify
the crown OF thorns. was brought out
and hustled about the convention in a
crazy parade. For nineteen hundred
years, amid varying beliefs and all the
vicissitudes of time and change. the
Cross of Christ has stood for one thing
only to the thought of all the world, and
that was and Is the sacrifice OF the Son
been the one sacred symbol of Christian
.ty -FevereHeedE nit men, respected
even by unbelievers.
The appearance of the cross and crown
in the Populist convention was simply a
sacrilege. Ii was not brought with a
reverent, religious or even esrnest pur-
pose, but merely to give sensational en-
phasis to secrilegious illustration, mis-
named an epigram, employed by the
Populist candidate for President OF the
United States. Ii seems strange that even
in a convention of men who had broken
away from the moorings OF sense and
sobriety there were not some who still
held fast to the faith and the reverence for
sacred things instilled by their fathers, to
rise up and protest. Apparently there
was none, and the nation has been treated
to the spectacle of the Cross OF Christ
hustled up and Gown the aisle of a politi-
cal convention because one OF the candi-
dates had used 1t TO point an argument
on the monetary system
To countless reverent hearts scattered
all over the land in the quiet, we'll
ordered homes which have made the ma
tion great such an occurrence as this
comes as a shock. Ii demands rebuke in
public print and private speech until men
OF all religious beliefs rebuke 1t by their
votes in November. REVERENCE.

Peep Into /. Century-old Garden.

Adjoining the street through which 1
always, in my childhood, walked slowly
each Sunday, on my way to and from
church, was a spot to detain lingering
footsteps-a beautiful garden serene with
the atmosphere.of worthy ola age,
garden which had been tended for over
half century by O withered old man
and his wife, whose golden wedding was
spent in the house they had built and
In the garden they planted when they
were bride and groom. His back was
permanently bowed with constant weed
ing and pruning and planting and hoe
ing, and his hands and face were brown
as the soil he cultivated. The "hot-glow
ing" crimson peonies were seed lings
which the wife had sown in her youth;
now great shrubs ID or 20 feet in cir
cumterence. The Towering shrubs
were almost trees. The vigorous
borders OF box crowded across
the pat his and lowered on either side till
one could scarcely walk through them.
There were beautiful fairy groves OF fox
gloves "gloriousIy freckled, purple and
white" and tall Canterbury bells; and
at stiffly regular intervals were set
Towering almonds, St. Peters weath,
Persisn lilacs, "Moses In the burning
bdsh," which were not common in our
town, and "laburnums rich In streaming
gold, syringas ivory pure" At ;he
lower ends of the flower borders were
rows OF huney-blob gooseberries, and
aged currant bushes, eruy with years,
overhuDg by few pat riarchial ounce
and crab-apple trees, in whose gnsrled
