went to Judge Belcher and said: The boys are in hole and we must get them out. The push is up against 1t haro; Dunne has not been honest and never will be- I don't know how honest Belcher has been in this matter.
 During the investigation into the school scandal a gentleman-aS good as any in San Francisco-came to me and asked what we were going to do with Inspectors O'Brien and Swift. l told him 1 did not know, but it would probably go pretty hard with them both. Then tnls man said: Don't be too hard on O Brien- He is a good fellow and is only acting under instructions He has a family and has to do as fle is told to hold his posi- tion.' l replied that the best way for O'Brien to save himself would be to go before the Grand Jury and tell eyerythlng g he knew, giving the names Of the guilty parties and everything else In connection with the affair."

 Speeches in similar vein were made by Messrs. Warfeld. Minnie, Bauer. Thornley, Meyer, Spear and others, after
 Last evening H. A. Hedger, a member of the deposed Grand Jury and chairman of the. Street Department Committee, gave the result of his investigation into the affairs of that office With the aid of an expert he had gone over the work of reconstructing the 16-inch iron-stone pipe sewer in Baker street from Fran cisco to the bay, distance of five blocks. The work was. begun last January and completed In April. The material used cost $3S6 16 and the labor s41S1, not includ- ing the wages of an expert for four months at S4 a day. The sewer cost the city $5 a foot which would have been suf- ficient to build brick sewer 3x5 feet, complete.
 What puzzled MT. Hedger most was the large number of bricklayers and hod- carriers employed in constructing a pipe sewer. For instance, in February the pay roll shows that three, four and five brick layers worked a total of forty-eight days at $5 a day, and about the same number of hodcarriers at 5 a day were on the roll.
 Many other jobs of similar nature were investigated, and MT. Hedger was preparing a report to the full jury when it was dismissed

1" HOSE unfortunateS left fatherless
 or husbandless who know not the
 comforts of life will soon be pro
 vided with a cheerful home. The tide of prosperity still flows on at the Mechanics Festival, and each day ana night sees thousands of friends or the poor congregated within the walls or the festal hall Last evening the largest crowd that has visited the fete was present and an excellent pro- gramme was rendered.
 The booths that are now attracting the most attention are those of Ivy Chapter, California Commandery No. and the Postoffice California Com manderys contains a handsomely dec orated refreshment parlor and a gay little theater. The booth Is in charge of Mrs. Logan, Mrs. Dorn and Mrs. Batkin, and in an energetic way they are piling up the coin for the home fund. The Postoffice is one of the most handsome booths in the Pavilion Ladies robed in white, bearing white doves on their heads, go forth from this booth and reap a harvest of coin that will go far toward comforting the poor. The booth is a true representation of a postoffice. A street lamp and mail box are the most prominent features in the foreground, and behind this Is the office. 4 train of cars apparently run ming at full speed and a ship in the dis tance blowing the seas complete a handsome picture. A handsome organ presented by Kohler 6 Chase is the attraction at Ivy Chapter. All of the ladies are anxious to obtain the organ, and a rushing business in raff1e tickets is in consequence being done.
 King Solomon's booth is also one of the most popular spots in the pavilion. There the wheels of fortune turn mer- rily away on their mission of mercy, each turn bringing in it's gold, and on the east side many attractions are clustered which will be rallied at the close of the fair. Among the most strik- ing is a hat valued at $50, which was placed at the disposal of the manage ment of the festival by Mrs. Alma Keith. The hat takes the eye of the la dies and is bringing in its full share of the fund.

BOAT SIGHTED BOTTOM UP. Bark S. c. Allen Sees a Derelict Thirty-six Miles West of
 Point Reyes

The bark s. c. Allen, which arrived at this port yesterday sugar laden from Honolulu. reports sighting boat bottom up about thirty-six miles west of Point Reyes. It was o'clock Thursday morn- ing when the lookout discerned the boat drifting close to the bark. As near as he could make out the derelict was be- tween twenty and thirty feet long, about eight feet beam and was painted either black or brown.
 The description fits one of the many these waters, and although the fishermen have not as yet reported any of their number as missing it is highly probable that another accident has befallen one or more of them and the poor unfortuss mates have gone the way of many or their companions.
 No further information was obtainable from the Allen, as she kept her course and the upturned boat passed on ana finally disappeared from view.

HOW TO REACH THE TIMID
A Profitable Deal in Fuel That Was Not in Accordancs With
 Law

c. P. Huntington is firm believer in the efficiency of long and continued la bor. He thinks vacations are the in ventions of lazy men, and should have no place in the lives of men of affairs.
 While waiting for the beginning of his examination before Commissioner Heacock yesterday Uncle Collis was moved to refer to the subject of vaca- tions. He delivered himself In this wise:
 One of our men came into my office to-day and asked for a vacation. He said he had been working steadily for seven years and had not had so much as two weeks vacation during that pe- riod. I told him I had been hard at work for sixty-three years and had never had a fortnight'S vacation dur ing that time. I could not see that he had any cause for complaint
 What the other man thought Is not of record.
 During the afternoon Judge Hayne secured some valuable information from the witness regarding the manner in which great corporations influence legislative bodies, the cost of this deli cate work being charged to contingent expenses. Other matters having par ticular reference to the manner in which the affairs of the Central Pa cifc Railroad Company have been con- ducted at the expense of the public and the great profit of the witness and his associates were touched upon, but Huntington's faulty memory prevented him from going into details.
 ''Is 1t not fact" asked Judge Hayne, that in the original contract between the Central Pacific Railroad and Wells, Fargo & Co.'S Express Company there was clause in which the railroad agreed not to engage in the express business and not to' employ any other express company for period of ten years?"
 T believe there was some such agree ment We promised to protect them against other companies engaged in the same line of business whenever we could do so legally. We never under took to do anything illegal
 Judge Hayne then attempted to get some information regarding the finances of the Contract and Finance Company.
 ..The late Senator Stanford testified before the Pacific Railroad Commission that at the time of the completion of the Central Pacific Railroad the Con- tract and Finance Company owed sev eral millions of dollars. Is that true?"
 That is very indefinite. It is my im- pression that the company owed some thing more than seven million. I am not sure about the amount, but that is my impression. l kept the memoran- dunn in my hat, and the exact figures have slipped my mind now"
 .'I suppose the books of the Contract and Finance Company would have con- tained the information if they had not been destroyed, would they not?"
 Possibly they would. am not sure as to that As to the books be- ing destroyed, know nothing about that I never saw them. The nearest I ever came to seeing them was several years after the business of the company had been closed. We wanted to clear out the room where the books were kept and Hopkins suggested that

SHORT ON GRAIN BAGS.
Limited Demand at San Quentin by
 the Farmers.

James H. Wilkins, of the State Board of Prison Directors, has made some in- teresting calculations regarding the loss to California by reason of the present dry season. Speaking on this topic yes terday he remarked "At this season of the year in ordinary times orders are lodged at the San Quentin jute mills for B 900 000 grain bags but the orders re- ceived up to the present do not call for more than 5000 900 bags. This shows a falling off of 32,000000 bags. Calculating that each sack holds grain to the value of $2, it may be figured readily that is a prospective decline amounting to s64.O00,- 900 in wheat alone.
 MT Wilkins figures that there are losses in other than the wheat crop, and mentions a falling off in the orchard products, in live stock and in other lines mines will fall below the normal output in consequence of the scant supply Of water

BoNDSMEN MUST PAY. Judgment by Default Against the Sureties on the Bonds of Coun-
 terfeiter Curverson.

United States District Judge de Haven yesterday ordered judgment by default in the case of the United States vs. w A. Dawes, A. w. Robinson and A. W. Cur verson for $2500, being the bonds on which Curverson was released from custody after his indictment by the United States Grand Jury for passing counterfeit half dollars in Eureka, Humboldt County. An execution will be levied at once on the property of the bondsmen.
 This is the case in which the bondsmen filed a demurrer, alleging that Alexander Campbell Jr., an attorney, had by means of false representations induced them to go on Curverson's bonds, he being stranger to them. The demurrer was overruled and they will be called upon to pay.

Two Pointed Questions Answered.

What is the use of making better
article than your competitor if you
cannotget better price for it?
Ans.-As there is no difference in
the price the public will buy only the
better, so that while our profits may
be smaller on single sale they will
be much greater in the aggregate.
How can you get the public to know
your make is the best?
If both articles are brought promi-
nently before the public both are GER
tain to be tried and the public will
very quickly pass judgment on them
and use only the better one.
This explains the large sale onCham-
berlain's Cough Remedy. The peo-
pie have been using it for years and
have found that it can always be de-
pended upon. They may occasionally
take up with some fashionable novelty
put forth with exaggerated claims, but
are certain to return to the one rem
edy that they know to be reliable, and
for coughs, colds and Group there is
nothing equal to Chamberlain Slough
Remedy. For sale by Oakland Phar-
macy and DR.. j. w. Laughlin.
