MAYDAY At THE CLIFF,
Sutro Made Happy by Over
Thirty Thousand Visitors
to His Baths.
Entire Rolling.Stock of the Car Lines
Called Into Requisition to Accom-.
modate Travel.

Notwithstanding the uninviting appear
ance of the day for California Mayday,
the children, with their escorts, turned out
en- masse to enjoy the annual festivities at
Sutro's baths, which had been especially
prepared for the occasion.
The entire rolling-stock of the Sutro and
Sutter-street car lines had been run out to
accommodate the general public which
rode over the lines.
In addition to the service on these lines.
the steamcars OF the Market-s street branches
put on their Sunday and holiday reserve
rolling-stock to catch as much of the travel
as possible.
But it made no difference which lines of
streetcars were used. All were bent for
the attractive point at the Cliff. Up to 3
O'Clock 29,650 persons passed through the
revolving gates leading into the baths.
The scene on the inside from any point
of view was one seldom seen outside of a
great metropolis. 1t was fairyland exem-
plified from the topmost seat on the gal
lery to the waters edge.
At II o'clock the May Queen was
crowned amidst an admiring throng of
her infantile subjects, and Immediately
after being so crowned the gallant and
handsome Colonel Thomas p Robinson
baths and an eighth of the area of the
City and County of San Francisco, pre-
sented her young Majesty with NAM
month bouquet, the gift of Mayor Sutro,
who was present and extended the liber-
ties of the grounds to her Majesty.
All the juvenile amusements, from dane
ing to romping through the building,
were enjoyed by the young ones to their
hearts content, and none enioyed the
scene more than did the venerable Mayor.
"I have" said he, "spent some happy
and pleasant days in my life, but posi-
lively this one gives me more real pleasure
than any one / can recall. To see the inno-
cent little children and their parents made
so happy is indeed q Joy and pleasure to
me and the members of my family, who
have taken such pains to make it pleasant
for ALL"
The warmth OF the building in the bath
inclosure made it very pleasant contrast
for those assembled in Comparison to the
somewhat raw ocean breeze felt on the

Mrs. Booth-Tucker VIII Be AbIo to
Meet Her Engagements.
The condition of Consul Emma Booth
Tucker has so greatly improved that her
presence at the meetings at Metropolitan
Temple next Wednesday afternoon and
evening is an assured thing. The chances
are that she will also conduct meeting
Tuesday.
Her husband, Commander Booth Tucker.
is now flying across the country on his
way TO this City. He will also be present
at the Wednesday meeting. Heis expected
to arrive here Wednesdaysmorning.
Mrs. Booth Tucker will undoubtedly
meet her engagements now in Portland.
Seattle, Topeka and Kansas City.
"The results of these meetings" said
Social Secretary McFee last night. "can
hardly be estimated. Fac interest that has
previously existed among all classes re-.
garding her work has broken out into a
flame of enthusiasm. The presence OF
our consul among US has done a vast
amount of good"

A PACIFIC HEIGHTS BED.
Over $500 Raised for Its Endowment
In the Children's Hospits

Over $500 Raised for It's Endowment
In the Children's Hospital.
The first of series of three entertain
ments, the purpose of which is to endow a
a Pacific Heights bed at the Children's
Hospital, was given at the Pacific Heights
school Thursday afternoon. The idea is
that of the principal, Miss Alice M. Stin-
son, who acted as general overseer.
This particular entertainment was given
by the primary classes, and the crowd
was SO large that the services of two po-
lice officers were brought. into requisition
to keen the crowd within proper restric-
ton.
Prominent among the features were a
candy. a lemonade and chocolate booth,
presided over by the various teachers, as
sisted by the larger girls. Besides, there
were grabbags, raffies, music and recita-
tions. Nothing was perm itted to sell for
more than dime, which was clear
profit as the parents of the pupils con-
tributed everything.
The special feature OF the programme
was a Miss Blanche Kelleher, WHO took
the part of nun in a living picture, and
sang 1.-THE Better Land"
Manv large local firms helped to swell
the fund by paying the children well to
represent them. in the, living pictures.
The intention is to raise at least $500, and
this one entertainment netted something
over $500. The other two will be held on
Nav 15 and May 30 respectively.

decision can be received.
Meanwhile the possibilities thus opened
up OF diverting traffic to Eastern points by
way OF the northern roads has caused
great restlessness among the other lines.
The representative of the Santa Fe went so
far as to declare his intention of endeavor-
ing to induce his people to demand that
the roads routing by way of the Missouri
River gateway be allowed to make rate
that will put them on competitive equal
lty with those which can advantsgeously
use the Portland gateway, and this action,
II carried out, may lead to general and
serious disturbance of transcont1neutal
passenger rates.
This question will no doubt be taken up
by the Transcontinental Passenger Asso-
citation, which is to meet in this City on

could be gathered from her wild rawlings,
it seems that she has been driven to the
verge of insanity by the dissolute habits
of her husband. The three men who re-
moved her from the ambulance to the
ward of the hospital had their hands full,
and the crazed woman left the marks of
her violence on their persons.

CLOSE OF TRl-STATE FAIR.
Republicans Make a Great Demon.
stratiOn.

Sioux Falls, Sept. 26.-It was windy
and rainy last night but notwithstand-
Ing handicap the tri-state fair closed In
a manner that stamps the venture al a
wonderful success.
1t was republican day and the the Nc
Kinleyitcs turned out TO Guido the Bry-
an demonstration Of Wednesday. Con-
gresham McCleary was here TO make
the speech and the Mckinley club Of this
city and the nciShboring towns marched
to do him honor. The night was a bad
one. While Wednesday was clear and
mild last night was cold and a drizZlins
rain was falling. Scores of men who
had arranged to march refused to do
so on account OF the weather. Despite
the weather and the fact that IA large
proportion of the visitors to the fair
had gone, the parade contained 946 vot-
ers carrying torches, while the Bryan
parade contained on a calm, clear @
ing l16 less. The Bryan men had been
working up their demonstration for a
month, while the republicans had been
rustling only five days. Aside from the
number OF voters the parade was far
superior to that Of the democrats.
There were twenty handsomely decora-
ted carriages containing ladies beauti-
fully arrayed for the occasion n about
100 boys. not to mention several bands.
In the evening Congressman Cleary
addressed 1000 people in the Mckinley
tent and fully 1000 Others were com
PEELED to leave, failing to gain admis-
sion. while hundreds stood about the
sides In the rain. 1t was the greatest
demonstration known In the state. OF
the number in parade more than 500
were residents OF Sioux Falls. while the
B%ryanites could only muster 35l from
the city. Among the voters in line were

patch says! The radical papers continue
to comment freely from q British point
IF view upon the approaching presiden-
tial election. The radical Echo" which
has an immense circulation, looks Mt
the situation in this wise:
The American presidential election
campaign has yet more than a month
10 run, and the uneasiness, which grows
daily, will probably more nearly re-
,emble panic each succeeding week. II
matters little who wins. Mr.. Bryan Is
apparently bent on running every man
In America who is owed a dollar, while
Mr.. Mckinley is determined to reinforce
a high protective tariff which will prac-
tically hinder every man who has a dol
lar to spare from spending it.
THE outlook is lively for trade and
labor either way. In the United States
today. the farmer, the manufactures, the
trader, and the worker, are being bled to
death TO line the pockets of the middle
men and the spectators who boss the
political show. and keep Mckinley and
Bryan like a couple Of dolls outside a
rag and bone shop to gull the weated
and swindled public with quack reme-
dies which neither Of them understand,
and probably neither are in earnest
about.
Meanwhile the attempt TO force up
the price of American securities has
failed. American holders seem anxious
to unload on the British public, which Is
wisely holding aloof. There Will be a
time to buy by and by, when we will
give the word, but until then let no
manufactured spurts tempt anyone who
does not wish to be swtndled by the
outs on this side OF the yankees, who
are much too dangerous lin the know"

urgent request of club members he con-
scented TO make a short speech and a
large crowd greeted him. He confined
his remarks almost entirely TO the silver
question and the political aspect in the
west and stated that there was a decided
revulslon OF feeling In the far west Mr..
Sherman said:
II have seen a good many Interesting
places In the west, but none has been
more interesting than the mining camps

worked for a living in that llne-were
for free silver. They have certainly
changed thei minds about II, and hope
tina by election time they Will have
come back to the sound money fold,
where they belong"
Continuing he said:
Sometimes they say we are opposed
to silver. Why, the republican party
has done more for silver than any other
party I'm the country. In two years the
republican party furnished more silver
dollars to the country than were FUR
nished In the previous fifty years. And
we did another thing with II. We kept
every one of these dollars as good as
gold.
I'VE want a standard OF value for our
w~orkingmen as good as the standard OF

dollar he receives to be as good as gold,

ley at the head, is determined TO keep
rhese dollars as good as gold"

EUREKA WINS.
The Club Offers Most Money and
Gets the Hall.

San Francisco, Sept. 26.-As far as the
National club is concerned, the fight
between Corbett and Sharkey In this
city Is off; his Is unless there are some
new developments. Manager Groom
received "A telegram in answer to his
wire stating that $40, 900 would be de-
posted by the club in a few days, but
each Of the principals must post $1,000,
which read as follows: Cant wait a.
few days. Have accepted the EurekaI
clubs offer"
This leaves the National club out of
h arrangement entirely n brings
the Eureka club prominently forward
as a factor in the contest. This associ-
alton a already secured a permit and
offered $12, 900 as a purse. The man.
ayers are willing to post $4,000 as a
guarantee. This one will be up to-
day and Corbett has agreed to accept
the amount When he Is notified by
telegraph that the money is up he will
start for California. as will also Shar-
key. On their arrival in this city each
will deposit $4,000 as a guarantee to Sc
cure their appearance in the ring. This
arrangement meets the approval of the
Eureka club managers. The only point
not definitely determined upon is as to
responsibility in case there should be a
hitch in bringing off the match. That
will BE- arranged, however, when Cor
bett and Sharkey reach here.
