A CARNIVAL OF QUEENS.
Fair Daughters of the State
Will Reign at the Local
Fiesta.
California" and "San Francisco
Days Have Been Programmed.
Children to Be Enlisted.

Considerable interest is being manifested
in the selection of queens for the carnival
of the Golden Gate. While it has not yet
been definitely settled what the proposed
week of festivities will com prise two events
have been tacitly agreed upon. One is
California day, which the projectors in
tend to make an exposition of California
resources, IN which they invite the entire
State to participate. San Francisco day
will be another feature of no mean i'm
portance. This will. as at present under
stood, be divided into two parts. The
first will comprise a historical pageant,
illustrative of the growth of the City from
the time Sir Francis Drake landed upon
the Marin County shore until October
1896, when Queen Francesca enters and
rules its people with a wand of pleasure.
For one feature of the day it is decided
to utilize the school children, provided the
possible wealth of attractions for the pa
gent does not fill in all the time. If
when the details are arranged, 1t Is found
impracticable to hold the two events in
one day, the school children will be given
day entirely to themselves. With the
public and private schools each furnishing
quota, 1T is expected that at least 30, 900
children will participate.
For each of these events q queen, god
dess or some other feminine dignitary will
be selected. An Empress of California
has been suggested, to be selected from
among the many young ladies who have
officiated as queens in the interior.
Tho announcement Of an athletic day
has called forth many inquiries regarding
its scope. No definite plan has been agreed
upon, the matter having been under con-
slderation only since last Monday. Gen.
eral Warfield is selecting a committee to
arrange the affair and will announce it
before the end of the week in order that a
report may be ready for the meeting of
the executive committee on Monday.
Chief Consul Kerrigan of the League of
American Wheelmen reports much en-
thusiasm among the bicycle clubs over the
proposition TO illuminate Golden Gate
Park. For years they and the residents of
the Panhandle and owners of fine horses
have been hoping for this, and they look
forward to the installation of a system of
electric lighting as the prelude to per-
manent night illumination OF the drives.
II has been considered possible to utilize
the waterfall on Strawberry Hill for the
generation of power to run the dynamos.
Ihe electrical experts in the committee,
under the direction of w. III. Mills, the
chairman, will make report in few days
on the feasibility of the plan.
General Warfeld yesterday appointed
the following committee to prepare the
programme for the carnival week in Octo-
Der: K. P. Doolan, NJ. III. de Young, VIII
liam II. Mills, William Greer Harrison,
Thomas A. Bannerman, Alfred Bouvier
and L. A. Haber.

FOUR GOOD BOXING BOUTS
Pugilists Who Will Don the
Mittens This Even
ing.
Sharkey and Needham Are Selling
Favorites in the Pool
rooms.

Betting on the boxing bouts which will
take place this evening at the Mechanics
Pavilion is very lively. Sharkey is selling
a strong favorite over Jim Williams, the
champion heavy weight of Salt Lake. The
pugilsts are in tirst-class condition and if
Jim Williams is as game as his friends
contend he should certainly give Sharkey
good run for the long end of the purse.
The result will depend altogether on Will
liams' courage and ability to stand pun
ishment.
If Williams can use his left fist to good
advantage and send it home good and
hard when Sharkey rushes him he will
puzzle the sailor, as the latter does not
relish too many nose-stoppers. The bet
ting last evening was 10 to with Sharkey
on the long end.
The bout between Needham and Gala
gber should prove the most interesting
feature of the hstic programme. Need
ham is slight favorite, but Gallagher's s
friends state that even money will be
wagered on this contest this evening,
when the Oakland sports will open their
rse-strings.
Walker and Allen will be the first brace
to appear before the spectators. There is
but little betting on the result of this mill,
as the pugilists are not very well known
to the betting fraternity. Allen stands a
good chance of winning.
Billy Smith should certainly best Patsy
Corrigan; but as Smith has been on the
retrograde for some years, Corrigan, who
has the advantage OF youth and avoirdu-
pois, may give the on ice hard hitting Smith
surprise. 1t should be good bout for
four rounds.
Betting men must not forget that the
booksellers have the best of the game when
contests end in a draw. The bettor must
pay percentage to the poolseller whether
the contest ends in a draw or a victory.
AS there have been so many draws of late
gamblers are growing tired of betting on
boxing bouts.
A referee who will decide the bouts this
evening will be selected at the ringside.
Billy Jordan will, as usual, act as master
of ceremonies

SOME WANT JACOBS.
A New Candidate for the Vacant School
Directors Seat Has Put in an
Annearanca.

The complexion of the battle that is
being quietly waged in the Board of Edu-
cation over the appointment of new
director to take the place made vacant by
the resignation OF Henry L. Dodge has
taken new turn, and the programme
that was previously mapped out bids fair
to be materially changed.
The position was originally offered to
Samuel NJ. Shortridge, who declined be-
cause the duties of his profession would
prevent him from devotlng the necessary
time to the office. Then the name of DR..
Joseph H. Soper was put forward as an
available candidate. He was apparently
acceptable to the superintendent and most
OF the mem bers of the board, but few
were opposed to him, and they propose to
have say in the matter. Meyer Jacobs,
who was Assistant City and County At
rorney under John II. burst, has been
mentioned as a candidate, and it is ex-
pected that he may be pushed forward
with sufficient influence to gain him the
nomination.

crookedness, an6 wound up in the peni-

only short time, disappearing from the

when he escaped had still about four years

the crime OF which he was convicted being
burglary in the San Joaquin Valley,
which attracted considerable attention at
the time
"Wheeler's behavior in prison has al
ways been exemplary. In fact, his only
1niractlon of prison rules has been in the
way OF escapes. Every effort is being put
forth for his discovery and recapture. 1t
is too early at present to compare the
probabilities for and against his recovery;
but II ever man knew how to escape In
style, Wheeler is that man."
Sergeant Mahoney of the Harbor Police
was ordered to have the City water front
carefully watched. Accordingly, officers
were detailed to keep sharp lookout for
wheeler, whose photograph was sent to
the sergeant to facilitate the mans identi-
fication
Wheeler is known in criminal circles as
"Chlcago Fatty" and escaped from Sing
Sing before his Joliet experience. His
last committal to San Quentin was due to
his own act in acknowledging his former
escape from that place in order to keep
out OF the hands OF the Sing Sing authori-
ties, who, learning of his presence in Los
Angeles, had issued requisition for him.
Meanwhile Wheeler keeps his where
abouts strictly to himself and, needless to
say, declines to be interviewed.

The numerous friends and acquaint-

This will be the young Iady's profess
sional debut. She has long, however, been
favorably known in local dramatic circlse

Columbia Amateur School of Acting. She

TROUBLE IN THE TEMPLE
The Labor Bureau Association Lock
Horns With the Socialists
Over a Lease,

There is an interesting conflict in prog
ress between the Labor Bureau Associa-
tion, at lis Turk street, and the other les
lees of the building. About two years ago
the association leased the lower part of the
Turk-street temple from II. Warnicke.
representing the German socialists, and
since then the place has been the head
quarters of nearly all members of the
building trades and other organizations.
A short time ago the socialists gave the
directors of the association notice to va
cate the premises on June 1, but the latter
failed to do so for several reasons. To be-
gin with the place suited them, and again,
their lease was taken upon the under
standing that it could be renewed so long
as the association paid 35-100 of the
an cunt of the rent of the entire building.
When Warnicke found that the associa
tion would not move he went to the man
ager of the Fair estate, of which the Tenn
pie is part, and gave up the lease or what
was equivalent, and had it transferred to
j. Bromistch Jr., a saloon-keeper.
The latter lost no time in ordering the
association to leave at once, and to EN-
phasize his demand he sent big load of
lumber to the temple yesterday morning,
which was dumped into the main en-
trance to the reading-room. 1t was said
that he was going to convert the place into
a cheap lodging house. However, he ex-
poets the association to vacate the prem
ises to-day, and that body does not pro-
pose to DO so.
The directors have reasons to believe
that the new lessee is simply another rep
resentative of the German socialists, and
that the transfer of the lease was simply a
trick to oust them from their headquar-
ters. They do not propose to submit
tamely to this treatment, and will no
doubt go to law to maintain what they be-
lieve to be their rights under the terms of
the lease

ConIan's court yesterday morning for ar
raignment. After the com plaint had been
read to the defendant he pleaded not
guilty, and his attorney, ]. N. E. Wilson,
asked for continuance for a week. Prose-
cutting Attorney Mogan said he was ready
to proceed, but the Judge granted the con-
tInuance.
The young girl was in court accom-

were brought back from New Jersey SUM-

City Prison.
Cregan occupies the cell opposite Cap

benefit of seeing all who enter and leave
the prison, which will keep him from
growing weary. Becker is at the extreme
end of the prison in cell by himself,
where he can be seen by no one, as it is off
the main corridor.

The Jersey City Club is more firmly inn
bedded in first place In the Athletic
League than ever. The team rolled three
championship games last night OH the hill
alleys with North End ana Jersey City
won all. 1T was the first time that Jersey
City has been a triple winner this season.
The team deserved the success, as the
members put up a very formidable game,
and the North Ends were outclassed. The
result of the contests thus far has been
a very great surprise to the other teams,
who had not looked beyond the New York
A. c.. or Elizabeth this year when fgur-
ing on the probable prize winners. Jersey
City has far excelled these teams, and
there is very little chance for either to
beat the local five. In the opening game
last night the home bowlers put up their
best totals, and placed 109 pins between
them and the Newark team They sur
passed an average of 1870. Meyer rolled

low the 100 mark, but still managed to
hold their opponents safe, and beat them

Last night the Clintons won a double
victory on the Pythian Hall alleys from
the Clio Wheelmen in the Jersey City
League. Tie Clintens developed a
streak of cleverness in the opening game
and beat their opponents out Of sight.
The Ciintons rolled out a big margin IN
the opening frame, and increased it, win
ming by the highest score for five men
ever rolled on this alley. The Clos were
unable to stand the strain and gave way
permitting the Clintons to carry off the
honors in the opening BY 125 pms. Every
member of the Clinton Club was far ahead
of the general average with Ed HUMPHREYS
in the lead. Fol Clio Heye rolled III.
In the second game the Wheelmen gave
their opponents a scare by keeping close
to them and leading them on several Of
the frames. Clio was on top in the first
two frames but lost the lead on the next
three frames. but IN the sixth frame
the scores tied. On the eight frame
Clinton forged ahead, and by a strong
finish, in which the team piled UP lots
of credits and won by a margin of 70
pins. Archie Duke and Gus B~uchtenkirk
were in the 1870 block. SeoSe:-

IDEAS for dMonuem.


D. Macehf 8iaeeregor, enthusiast BY
nature, purveyor of sunshine by trade,
and maker Of instructive rhyme by vo-
cation. is just now beginning 10 pat into
practice the theories on which he has
been working these three years.
His theories are based on indisputabis
facts. When a mar wants to recall the
calendar. no matter how learned he
may be, what does he do but recite:
Thirty days hath September" just a
common nursery jingle? Few can recall
the lessons Of school days now. but
everyone remembers:
Hey diddle, diddle,
The cat and the fiddle.
