 in San Fran
 cisco.
TT WILL COLLECT FUNDS WITH
 OUT DELAY.

At meeting of representative citizens at the Occidental Hotel dining rooms last night the following committee was ap- nointed to see to a permanent local or ganization for the purpose of rendering aid to the families of soldiers who nave gone to Manila: Walter E. Dean, Tirey [, Ford Mrs William Alvord, Mrs. Hor- ace Hill and Mrs. c. M. Kinney.
 The meeting was called to order by Major Hooper, who made an address Tn which he called attention to the fact that there was great need for such work as that outlined by the Red Cross. He said there would be a great deal of suffering unless some definite aid should be rem dered.
 Judge Morrow was elected chairman of the meeting. and it was then decided that the society should be limited to San Fran cisco wholly, the aid of certain Oakland ladies being refused on the ground that each city would be expected to take care of it's own sufferers
 Sneeches on the subject were made by pr Stebbins Rabbi Voorsanger, Tirey L. Ford and others, after which the meet ing adjourned to convene at the same nIace again on next Monday night. Word was received that more than $12,000 has been collected at Honolulu for relief work, and that the sum will probably be doubled hv the time the troops reach there.
 It is the intention of the local society to co-operate with the Red Cross, and to do all the work within its power at once There will be subscription lists forthwith and committees will solicit funds without delay.

GR0WLS THAT FOLLOW
 THE BENCH SHOW

The show is over, but not the work of the bench show committee. The secre- tary has a particularly fine and large job on hand-he is at present busy mak- ing out the checks wherewith to pay the prizes. The accounts have not yet been balanced, but from present appearances 1t Is a moot question whether the San Francisco Kennel Club will not have to face deficit. The rain on the closing night played havoc with the receipts and rendered all calculations nugatory. The best that can be hoped for is surplus of a couple of hundred dollars, and that, if 1t be proved to exist, will go to the Children's Hospital.
 The judge of the show, MT. George D. Bell, has signed contract for five years with Emmett Sullivan of Menlo Park to undertake the charge of the latter $ Ken nels. There can be no doubt that MT. Sullivan has done a very clever stroke of business, for Mir. Bells long kennel ex- perience should render his services in- valuable to his employer.
 MT. Bell has engaged Frank RobDlns to act as his secretary and assistant gen. erally.
 MT. Christensons protest against the winning of the bull terrier, Rastus, is lia- able to prove futile, as far as the San Francisco Kennel Club is concerned.
 MT. Taits, under whose name Rastus was entered, is able to show clean Dill or sale TOT the QOS, bearing udle ol <ApI4l 20, and this settles the protest, as far as the San Francisco Kennel Club is con- cerned. Any further contest must be laid before the American Kennel Club for decision.
 The facts of the case, as developed since the filing of the protest, show. that the arrangement for the loan of MT. Christensons stud dog, Imp. Woodcote Venom, to MT. Foley, was made by Mir O'Brien of the Palace Hotel, and that the pup agreed on, as the price of the stud dogs service, was duly delivered to MT. O'Brien This seems to remove all doubt as to the legality of Rastus' awards, but Mr. E. s. Heller, MT. Chris tenson's adviser. is a stubborn fighter, and it Is beyond peradventure that he will carry the matter for decision to the SUI preme tribunal of the American Kennel Club.
 MT Heller's own bitch, Torpedo, has been disqualified for deafness. By this disqualification MT. Folger's Fly takes the first prize in open bull terrier bitches, and MT. Clinton E. Worden's Lady. Jane the second prize. It is due to MT. Heller to state that he advised the kennel club of the bitchs deafness when he made the entry. Not the slightest reflection can therefore be cast on him.

THE BAY STATE HOTEL.
Splendidly Appointed and Justly
 Popular.

The Bay State Restaurant is not un- known to the public of San Francisco. but the Bay State Hotel is a new factor in the restaurant life of the city, come into existence as the result of a de- mand for increased facilities and great CT accommodations by reason of public favor bestowed upon its proprietor, MT. Adler. who has long been known as one of the leading caterers of San Francis co. The half dollar dinner furnished by MT. Adler has become famous and Is unequaled in quality and service in many places for double the price The Bay State Restaurant has simply in creased it's facilities to meet the de- mand of a growing patronage. While formerly occupying the ground floor of the General Keys building, it now, un- der its new name, includes the entire building, consisting of four spacious stories and 110 rooms. These are divided into suites for private dining and sup per rooms, and are furnished in the most handsome and comfortable man. ner. The furniture is of rich pattern and piano is found in each suite. and each has it's private dining service The general effect gives an air of luxuriance and good taste An elevator conveys the guests to each floor and the entire house is lighted by electricity There are three entrances to the hotel-one at No. 109 O'Farrell street, a ladies' en- trance at Mo- F Stockton street and a general entrance at No. 15 Stockton street.
 The proprietor, Mir Max Adler. has given his especial personal supervision to each detail of this extensive cara vansary, SO that everything in connec- t1On with its management is as nearly perfect as liberal expenditure and good taste can produce
 One of the most particular adjuncts of an establishment of this kind is the chef. He has much to do with build ing up and sustaining the reputation of hotel. Mir. Adler has secured the ser vices of a perfect treasure in this line to take charge of his cuisine. Every rarity and delicacy to be found in the market undergoes his personal inspec- tion and is prepared under his watch ful eye. The epicure knows what a good meal is, but does not always know just where to oprocureit. MrAdleris not an experimenter with peoples stomachs or other comforts. He is a veteran and understands his business. He only asks one visit from those who are fond of luxuries to secure a continuance oftheir custom. And with all, the patrons of the Bay State Hotel will be astonished at the reasonableness of the charge. It is the enjoyment in the highest de gree of luxuries at the most reasonable rates,

 Amidst cries of Call it off, That's enough and You'll have dead man there in a minute" Police Captain Carson stepped to the ropes and stopped the fight between Hugh Dougherty of Chi cago and Frank Schouler of the San Fran cisco Athletic Club tonight in the eighth round. The battle had been hot z and swift. Dougherty was manifestly out of condition and Schouler had made him a chopping block in the last three rounds. Dougherty was game, but life had a serious side for him at that moment, and the coming of Captain Carson was not un- welcome. James Fox refereed the bout, but all blows looked alike to him and he was loudly criticized for overlooking serious fouls made by Schouler.
 Joe Mcdonald of the California Swim ming Club and Ed Willie of the Klondike Club of Sacramento fought six bloody rounds of swift fighting to a draw.

NO GUNS FIRED YET.

Last Saturday night, at IL O'Clock, the SEN
ste passed resolution which meant the recog
,ition of the independence of Cuba. On Mon
day, the house took up the matter, and, later,
an agreement between the two branches OF
congress was reached; and, as matters now
tand, the United States recognizes the Cuban
republic. President Mckinley has attached his
SIGNATURE to the document and has issued his
ultiinatum to Spain, giving that government
forty-eight hours to reply.
The Spanish minister has packed his grip
and left Washington, and Minister Woodtord has
left Spain. The United States is massing Its
soldiers and preparing for the worst However,
Wall street says the matter will be settled with
out war. We must wait and see

The readers of this paper will be pleased to
learn that there is at least one dreaded disease
that science has been able to cure in all its
stages, and that is catarrh. Halls Catarrh
Cure is the only positive cure now known to
the medical fraternity. Catarrh being con-
stitutonal disease, requires constitutional treat
ment. Halls Catarrh Cure is taken internally,
acting directly upon the blood and mucous
surfaces of the system, thereby destroying the
foundation of the disease, and giving the pa
tent strength by building up the constitution
and assisting nature in doing its work. The
proprietors have so much faith in its curative
powers that they offer one hundred dollars for
any case it fails to cure. Send for list of testi.

SOMETHING TO REMEMBER.

It is we'll enough to remember that there are
other questions besides the war question. More
people than the Cubans are struggling for their
rights, and there is a kind of reconciliation
IN the United States, and there is a vast amount
of suffering from hunger and privation. We
must not forget that the same great battle
against misgovernment and wrong conditions Is
lust as much present as if there was no war IN
Cuba.
We do OF wish to minimize Spanish atroci-
ties. We would have Cuba free. We would
even 90 further if it were possible We would
hang Weyler on gallows niger than the gal
lows of Haman or Writ. We would hang ev-
cry Spaniard guilty of taking any part III the
starving to death of so many thousands OF their
fellow beings; and we are just as heartily IN
favor of removing any and all conditions in the
United States that tend to want and suffering
of any of our fellow beings.
While congress is (6guratively) tearing It's
hair and gnashing its teeth, it is following the
old precedent of doing little or nothing for our
own people.
We believe that charity begins at home. The
man is low in human nature who deprives his
own children of bread to feed neightor's.
Our hearts are big enough for both home and
abroad, but home first. Let lis look alter the
reconcentradoes CT our large cities. What can
be done for the tens of thousands OF women
and children who are crowded into the tene-
ments of New York, Chicago and other Amerl-
can cities? Is it not duty to strive to bring
about coalitions that will afford fresh air, whole
some food and house room? Are not the tens
of thousands of Americans who are lll-provlded
with the necessaries of life as good as the Gu
han reconcentradoes? Is starvation easier borne
in America than in Cuba?
It NAV be claimed that force was employed
in Cuba, but not in the United States. The
assumption is untrue The irresistible force OF
orab.and-hold is as strong as an army of armed
men. and has less compassion than the military
of modern times. Not every man is able to
grab, and many of our best men do not care to-
Our best citizens are generous and fore handed.
The strong and heartless, in modern society,
swoop down upon the weak and deienseless
with the irresistible force of Spanish bayonets.
Lines are drawn with Spanish accuracy and
cruelty.
"Thou shalt not steal," proclaims the law,
and "Thou shalt not labor" proclams the
capitalist, "only as l see fit and under such
rules and on such terms as prescribe" IT
the capitalist does not care to employ labor the
laborer and his family may starve. Charity
alone, as in Cuba, comes forward to save, but
charity is only palliative. Turn the recon-
centradoes loose.
