An Interesting Entertainment of Varied Delights Provided by the Excelsior Athletic

Knockouts, tryouts and hurricane fighting was the rule at the Excelsior Athletic Clubs fistic entertainment last night. Nearly 500 sports sat around the ringside and seemed to derive more en- ioyment out of the bouts than Is generally had at one of the big goes.

HARMONY
 FOR THE
 DEMOCRATS A Committee of One Hundred Appointed. MUCH TROUBLE EXPECTED SULLIVAN FORCES CLAIM A
 VICTORY. The Real Contest Will Come To-Day When the Report Is Brought
 Before the State Or
 ganization.

A committee consisting of one hun-e dred Democrats has been selected 10 take charge of the affairs of the local Democracy.
 The work of selecting the committee was completed last evening by the nine members of the State Central Commit tee who were delegated some time ago with power to bring about harmony in the ranks of the party in this city. It was first projosed to decline to recog- nize the claims of both the Harney and Sullivan factions and to appoint a new County Committee, to consist of five Democrats from each of the Assembly districts. With a slight modification this plan has been adhered to, but ln- stead of giving each of the Assembly districts equal representation it was decided to select the members of the new committee at large, regardless of territorial boundaries. This was done and as the friends of the Sullivan fac tion had a majority of one in the sub- committee the majority of their ap- pointees are -Harneyites. This, as a matter of course, is not satisfactory to the followers of Governor Budd, and as a consequence there is trouble brew ing.
 The real contest for the control of the DChiOSlaCy Ol t-1ll IdIlclSCO WILL De made in the State Central Committee when it meets to-day. The Committee of One Hundred is not satisfactory to the Budd faction, fact that will lead to an attempt to nullify the acts of the Committee of Nine. This attempt will take the form of an amendment to the report of the subcommittee The amendment will be to the effect that the Committee of One Hundred be in- StrJctp6 n conduct a T1Tff1oa arIy al for the purpose of selecting the mem bers of a new county committee which is to have the direction and control of the affairs of the local Democracy.
 Should such an amendment be adopt ed the Committee of One Hundred would then be robbed of any power or authority other than that of conduct ing the primary. This being accom- plished it would then cease to exist. Instead of being in itself the county committee, as it was intended to be, 1t would be only the instrument through which the county committee is to be brought into life.
 This plan is bold one and is only rendered feasible by the fact of the supposed power of Governor Budd in the Central Committed If it be true that he has control of the State organi- Zation then 1t will be possible for him to carry the scheme through and thus rob his opponents of their apparent vic tory. The Harney Democrats have practical control of the party organiza- tion in the city and should a primary for the election of a new county com mittee be ordered they would no doubt be able to secure the election of ma- jority of their candidates. With such a situation in prospect to-days meet ing of the State Central Committee should not be devoid of interest.

ADVERTISEMENTS.
YOUNG AT SIXTY.

Serene comfort and happiness in ad- vanced years are realized by compara- lively few women.
 Their hard lives, their liability to se- rious troubles on account of their pecu- liar organism and their profound igno- rance concerning themselves, all com bine to shorten the period of usefulness and fill their later years with suffering.
 Mrs Pinkham has done much to make women strong. She has given advice to many that has shown them how to guard against disease and retain vigor- ous health in old age. From every cor ner of the earth there is constantly com ing the most convincing statements from women, showing the efficacy of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com pound in overcoming female ills. Here is a letter from Mrs. J. c. Orms, of 220 Horner St., Johnstown, Pa, which is earnest and. straight to the point:
 "DEAR MRs. PINKHAM:-I feel 1t my duty to tell all suffering women that 1 think your remedies are wonderful. I had trouble with my head, dig y spells
  cold, was very nervous, could not sleep well, had kidney trouble, pain in ovaries and congestion of the womb. Since taking your remedies l am better every way My head trouble is all gone, have no pain in ovaries, and am cured of womb trouble. l can eat and sleep we'll and am gaining in flesh. l consider your medicine the best to be had for female troubles"
 The present Mrs. Pinkhams experi- ence in treating female ills is unparal- lelled, for years she worked side by side with Mrs. Lydia E. Pinkham, and for sometime past has had sole charge of the correspondence department of her great business, treating by letter as many as 8 hundred thousand ailing women during single year.

BISMARCK WAS
 NOT INTERVIEWED
But the Correspondent of News Agency Made Him Say Con-
 siderabl

BERLIN, May 26.-Recent dispatches from New York. stating that an Amer jean news agency had interviewed Prince Bismarck on the eventuality of an Anglo-Saxon treaty of alliance caused me to make careful inquiries concerning the amount of truth in this rumor, which bore on it's face-at least for any one at all familiar with the habits of the Prince proof of its inaccuracies. As a matter of fact, Prince Bismarck would never for a moment talk with the press men about such subject, and there are about two chances in 100 that the reporter of the American news agency, in all events in his capacity as a journalist, would get word on such a subject with Prince Bismarck. As a matter of fact, the journalist in ques- tion was refused admittance to the Princes residence.

It required a two days battle of three men with long-range Winchesters to bring down the monster, besides the as- sistance of a number of dogs. These men had been hot on the trail of "Clubfoot" more than a week. Last Sunday morning two of them came in sight of her, and the battle opened at a distance of 500 yards, and ranged from that down to a few yards. It was most desperate and thrilling encounter. Finally the hunters ammunition gave out. Late in the even ing they called off their dogs and went to camp. Early next morning they returned, and with the aid of the dogs "Old Club foot was again found The hunters opened fire on her, and the battle ragged all day before the monster gave up the ghost She weighed HOO pounds.

SEWERAGE AT FOLSOM PRISON.
The Prison Commissioners Will Ask a Loan From the State
 Examiners

The Prison Commissioners, at a meet ing held in this city Thursday, decided to ask the State Board of Examiners for au- thority to draw $15,000 for the purpose of constructing a proper system of sewer age at the Folsom prison. The amount asked for would. if taken out of the reg ular appropriation for the maintenance of Folsom, leave a deficiency of that amount; hence the directors concluded to ask the examiners to authorize it's ex- penditure.
 Should the examiners accede to the rec ommendation of the directors the amount will be used in the construction of a proper system of sewerage at the Fol som prison.
 The water supply of Sacramento, which has been recently discussed through the public press and by the city authorities of that municipality, is the motive which has prompted the directors to appeal to the Board of Examiners for authority to expend the amount asked for.
