PAINTERS STILL ALIVE.
Journeymen Will Hold a Mass
Meeting Saturday Evening.

Journeymen Will Hold a Mass
Meeting Saturday Evening.
The union painters did not hear of their
victory before their meeting adjourned
last evening. The schoolhouse question
was brought up. and it was decided to
send a communication to the Building
Trades Council requesting that body to
ask the Board of Education to make an
examination of all the schoolhouses. The
union offers to send committee with the
board to show where slopwork has been
done on nearly every schoolhouse.
IT was decided to hold special mass
meeting on Saturday evening to show the
boss painters that the union is still alive
and will contest every attempt to cut
wages. which, it is rumored, the bosses
have threatened to do. Good speakers
will address the meeting, and general
entertainment is being prepared. The
meeting will be held at lis Turk street.
Last evening the union issued It's brst
manifesto to the public. In the letter
which is addressed particularly to house
holders, it says:
The large FOLDERS of property are deceived
through architects and certain agents who
have control of all repairing and renovations.
They generally have a certain party do their
W0rk; Tor tn1S the painter Doss III nust give up
part profit to the agent, and to make up the
difference, he uses inferior material or puts on
one coat less than is called for. The
above does not apply to all master painters,
agents or architects, for some men in these
branches are endeavoring to act justly
The following are the ingredients of paints
used by many men calling themselves master
painters: They are lye, water, whitening,
putty, coal oil, fish oil and great deal of ben
zine or what is called "66, or French turps.,"
by some, so as not to give the fraud away. You
should see that the number of coats OF paint

.PAUPERS MAY Be VOTERS
Election Commissioners Refused
Yesterday to Disfranchise
Them.
The Matter May be Tested in Court
Labor Party Refused Rec.
ognition.

The Board of Election Commissioners
decided yesterday not to interfere with
voting of the inmates of the Almshouse,
in spite of the protests of Attorney Ruef,
who said that he represented the Repub-
lican party. This claim was not taken
very seriously by the Com missioners, in
view of the fact that T. j. L. Smiley has
been the recognized champion of the party
since the active preparations for the cam
paign began.
Attorney Ruef said that it was the duty
of the Com missioners to strike off tn G
names because the constitution of the
State read thatn person should be deemed
to have gained or lost a residence by
reason of being an inmate of the Aims
house. Under that rule, he contended,
the paupers were not entitled to be regis
tered from the Almshouse precinct.
City and County Attorney Creswell
stated that he thought it was a matter for
the courts to decide and that in order to
give the petitioners for the measure a
chance to test it he would move that the
matter be left in its present state.
At this point Max Pepper, who repre-
sents the Democratic State Central Com
mlttee, said he desired it to be understood
that the Democracy joined in the request.
he added that if the rule should be fol-
lowed the Republicans would lose many
votes at Yountville.
I'VE don't take that view of it." said
Ruef.
WELL" said Creswen, Gas long as this
matter has assumed political aspect,
Will withdraw my motion"
The motion allowing the paupers to vote
was passed unan imously.
w. 2. Grace, representing the Labor
party, appeared before the commission
and demanded that the party be given
representation on the election boards,
claiming that it was as much entitled to
recognition as the Peoples party.
Inc commissioners took another view
OF the matter, however, and after reading
the law to Mr.. Grace and assuring him
that the votes cast by his party would be
1alriy and impartially counted, refused to
grant his request
The Registrar reported that he sent out
forty citations to persons who were sus-
pected of having registered illegally, but
tnat only three had responded. AS the
citations were on postal cards, there was
no evidence that they had been served,
and the commission therefore decided not
TO strike the names off the register, but to
send out second citations by special
delivery.

Representatives from the Department of
California to the Thirtieth National En-

the Department of Oregon, his staff and
others; at Spokane by those from the
department of Washington, and at Hope

Pacific Coast delegation at Butte, the
whole forming an unusually large body
of representative veterans.
The encampment will open on Monday
next and continue until Friday, Septem-
Der 4. The headquarters of the Pacific
Coast veterans will be in Stee's block.
Some time .ago the posts in Southern
California determined to appeal to the
National Encampment this year to
authorize division of two departments
In this State. This feeling has been over
come, and the project of the Southern
California veterans has been abandoned.
There will be strong contest for su-
premacy between the East and West for
commander in chief Comrade T. s.
Clarkson of Nebraska is the only candi-
date of prominence from the West, while
Eastern comrades will put forward Com
rades D. R. Ballou of Rhode Island and
John Il. Linehan of Connecticut. An
other candidate may be Rear Admiral
Richard w. Meade. U. S. N, retired, who
is being strongly advocated by Lafaye tie

Another important matter 10 be decided
is the question where the encampment for
next year will be held. Buffalo and BaIti

Censured by Coroner's Jury for the
Deaths of Netchen and

Richard Sherlock, nurse at the City

charged yesterday by a Coroner's jury
with criminal negligence IN the cases of
David Netchen and Thomas Murphy, who
were accidentally killed few days ago by
being given deadly poison instead of q
draught of medicine. The management
of the County Hospital was also severely
censured, and recommendation made
that certain rules be more rigidly enforced.

however, it was ascertained that the men
had been given coccuIus Indicus, a deadly
poison. After hearing the evidence in the
two cases the jury returned the following
verdict:
And we further ind that the said poison in
both cases was administered by one Mr. Malla-
bar without criminal interest, and we further
find that the nurse, Richard Sherlock, is guilty
OF criminal carelessneSs and negligence in
leaving the ward before being relieved by a
professional nurse or some one equally CON-
petent. And we further find that certain rules
OF the, City and County Hospital are not
properly enforced.

Mrs. Clevelsrd's Letters.

Mrs. Cleveland possibly pens more
"billets doux" in the course of q year
than any other prominent woman of
Washington. Gracious in all things and
considerate always of the thoughts and
courtesies due others, she takes time to
reply personally, and within short
time, to the various notes and requests
which come to her. Mrs. Cleveland is
partial to a delicate blue in stationery,
not so deep as the Russian blue, but q
very decided color. OF course there are
various dies stamped in the center at
the top of the sheet Of paper. In Wash
ington the stationery Mrs. Cleveland
uses is stamped i'll modest letters with

The Daughter.

The superior wisdom of tho feminine
mind is shown i'll the fact that the
mother never rebels against her daugh-
ter's guidance. She is tho first to dis
cover the Young woman's wisdom and
she enjoys the security and sense of rest
which come from feeling that she has
some one to depend upon, some one to
think and plan for her. She regards it
rs providential that as the husband of
her youth grows careless, as his judg-
ment becomes ENTHUSIASTICALLY as to de-
tails, as he grows inclined to e,lirk the
little questions which arise in the con-
duct of the household, the daughter
quite naturally takes up the neglected
duties and assumes the management of
the affairs. OF course it is often diff
cult for the mother to live up to the
course the daughter marks out. She
sometimes finds herself deficient in the
strength or wisdom the daughter expects
from her. But this is not real trouble,
for under it all is the comforting sense
OF being guided by strong viii, the
sense of being free from responsibility
for the social and domestic welfare of
the family is filling the young woman Is
soul with satisfaction, fiattering her
with the consciousness of her great use

lance i'll the world. City Star.

Not an Impossibility.

Tho first woman lawyer who ever
pleaded il case in a New Jersey court re-
ceived warm welcome the other day
from tho bar of Union county, all men.
The judge upon the bench also was ex-
ceeding1y courteous to her during the
progress of the case and listened closely
to her argument. She gained her case,
too, though it was the first she had ever
argued.
We are pleased with the conduct of
the man bar toward the woman bar of
New Jersey. 1t might be supposed that
tine former would turn green at the adj
vent Of the latter, as there is not too
much practice for it i'll the courts and as
dover right cases are sometimes profit
able to the lawyer engaged in them.
But there was no sign of anything of
the kind. The chivalry Of Judge McCor-
mick was deserving of the admiration
which it commanded.
Now that the woman bar of Jersey
has come into existence, we may expect
that it will soon be crowded, and we
would smile if it We're to push the man
bar to one side.

HEART DISEASE.
Some Facts Regarding the
Rapid Increase of Heart
Troubles.
Do Not be Alarmed, But
Look For the Cause.

Heart troubles, at least among
Americans, are certainly increasing.
and while this may he largely due to
the worry and excitement of Ameri-
can business life, it is more often the
result of weak stomachs, Of poor di.
gestion.
Real, organic heart disease is in
durable; bat not one case in n hun
dred OF heart trouble is organic.
The close relation between heart
trouble and poor digestion is be-
cause both organs are controlled by
branches of the same great nerves,
the sympathetic and pneumogastric.
In another way. also, the heart If
affected by that form of poor diges-
ton, which causes gas and fermenta-
ton from half digested food; there is
feeling Of oppression and heaviness
in the chest caused by pressure OF
the distended stomach on the heart
and lungs, interfering with their ac-
ton; hence arises palpitation and
short breath.
Poor digestion also poisons the
blood. makes it thin and watery.
which irritates and weakens the
heart.
The most sensible treatment for
heart troubles is to improve the di-
gestion and to insure the prompt as
similation of food.
This can best be done by the regu-
lar use, after meals of some safe,
pleasant and effective digestive pre-
paration. like StuaTt's Dyspepsia
Tablets, which may be found at most
drug stores and which contain valua.
bic. harmless digestive elements, in
a pleasant convenient form.
1t is safe To say that the regular,
persistent use of Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets at meal time. will cure any
form OF stomach trouble except can

A Rare Coin.

A coin of great rarity, which is worth
several thousand times its face value, is
in the possession Of Harry O'Grady, a
conductor i'll the employ of the Reading
railroad. 1t is copper penny of 1888,
which bears upon its diverse side bust
Of Washington and the inscription,
Washington and Independence. The
coin was given to Mr.. O'Grady by his
father, who priced it very highly, hav-
ing Oh one occasion refused $3.50 for it.
Several years ago similar coin was
given by George Simpson of New York
to President Harrison upon the occasion
of the latter's visit to New York city
during the celebration Of the centennial
of Washington Inauguration. Mr..
Simpson presented another of the coins,
for which he had paid $3.50, to the Bar
