vention were dominated by corruption.
He said the insinuation was beneath
the character of any man aspiring to
the high office of Governor of Califor-
MIA The audience of 5000 people APP
plauded the sentiment.
tribute was paid to the honesty
and high character of Jacob Neff, the
candidate for Lieutenant Governor
Truman Reeves. the candidate for State
treasurer, and other nominees on the
Republican ticket. He remarked that
there was no place in the fusion party
to-day for the patriotic Democrat to
occupy. The party organized by the
Silver Republicans had been traded out
of existence and there was no place
for the honest Silver Republican out
side of the Republican party.
Mr.. Gage promised in the event of his
election to give the people a clean, hon
est and businesslike administration. In
his speech he displayed unusual ear
nestness and yigor. A few Interrupt
lions added to his advantage, as he
ply, to the discontinue of his inter-
rupting friends. He utilized the Con-
gressional Record to prove that Mr..
Mcguire did not object to the railroad
measure at time when objection
would have been effective A lucid
statement of the question was submit
ted to the audience The conclusive,
positive and overwhelming proof that
Mcguire. had been lodging the question

paign surprised the audience. The ex-
pcsure created a sensation and evoked
applause
In regard to the position of the po-
litical parties on irrigation Mr.. Gage
spoke as follows: 19e
Fellow Citizens: To the farmers, fruit
growers and horticulturists of this State
the subject of irrigation Is of the highest
Importance. The Republican party in its
desire for the welfare of the people of
California has pledged its representatives
to secure financial aid from the National
Government for the location and con-
struction of a system of storage reser-
voirs for the supply of farmers, fruit
growers and hortfculturists during dry
seasons. The following is the pledge Of

thing the. deck hand heard was the

thud, followed by a moaning and cry
of Help! Murder! For Gods sake,
Peter, help!' AS Peter erept forward the

so did the moaning of the wounded
man. Then he heard one of the men
say: oh! Shoot the old - and

Before Peter got to the companion
way one of the men started to come on
deck, so Peter jumped overheard and
swan toward the yacht Ramona. When
the murderers heard the splash they
ran on deck and fired three shots at
Peter. One of them took effect in his
leg, but still he swan on and got
aboard the Ramona. The shooting woke
up Sausalito. but before anybody could
row out to the Chispa the two men had

Mems Republican Club, who lined either
side of the vehicle. A cadet band led
the procession.
The enthusiasm displayed put that at
the Mcguire meeting held last night in
the shade. 1t is not the same kind-it
was not of the forced order noted be-
fore. Every one was thoroughly in
earnest, and when the Young Mems
Club lent it's yells the ovation seemed
complete, indeed.
Judge John L. Campbell, as chair
man, called the meeting to order, and
the secretary read the list of vice presi-
dents. Then came a treat in the way
of vocal solo by Miss Ellie Buford.
She sang THE Star Spangled Banner"
in a rich contralto voice, and responded
to an enthusiastic recall.
After patriotic selection by the band
the chairman arose to introduce the
first speaker He remarked that on this
occasion there were present two of the
greatest men in the State; that under
the circumstances anything more from
him than the necessary Introduction
would be an imposition on the people.
Therefore, without further ado, he
would discharge the honor and duty
intrusted to him, present to the people
Of the imperial county Henry T. Gage.
The audience received the introduce
ton of Mr.. Gage with a great outburSt
of applause. The nominee for Cover
nor gracefully acknowledged the COM
pliment and said he well understood
that the vast throngs assembled on the
streets of San Bernardino tonight had
not come together to welcome an indi-
vidual, but to express confidence in the
triumph of Republican principles. He
thanked the people of San Bernardino
County for the support which he re-
ceived from this county in the Repub-

have been much amused by the newspaper
controversy as to whether Sampson or Schley was
the hero of the episode which resulted in the
destruction of Cervera's feet. As Schley hap
pened to be in command of course, he won the
fight, and Sampson had nothing to do with it,
But. il Sampson had been in command, the re-
suit would have been the same. neither OF
them had been present. some other officer would
commissioned officer present, any Intelligent en-
listed man in the American squadron would
have been equally successful as a commander.
All that was necessary was to follow the Span

American gunners. and the question of who
commanded them Is one Of little consequence,
as anybody not absolutely an idiot would have
been sufficient to direct that victory.
And will those gallant gunners ever get proper
credit for their glorious service? Not on your
life! The charge at Balaklava was celebrated in
song and story, and in one of the poems the
question is asked concerning the men who made
that charge: 'when shall their glory fade2'

oID-TIME ROSE BAGS.
How Our Grandmother HOarded
the sweet Spicy Petals.

Our grandmothers considered daintiness
in every detaii to be the greatest secret
of gentiewoman's life. Their delicacy
of taste was never shown more effective
ly nor more daintily than In their selec-
ton of perfumes. Every lady of the
period was an adept in preparing her own
favorite perfume, and from my own dear
oid-fashioned grandmother / have learned
how she gathered the petals of the blush
rose which grows so plentifully in Vir-
ginia gardens. placed them in little. loose
ly meshed bags. sprinkled over them a
few drops of some aromatic tincture to
coax out their peculiar sweetness. and
then scattered the dainty bags among her
linen.
She did not confine herself to the blush
rose. but gathered all varieties early in
the morning. then shook them lightly in
an airy room over newspapers spread
upon the floor. Several times during the
day she tossed them about to be sure that
no moisture remained. The next morning
she made fiat bags of common mosquito
netting, which she filled with rose leaves.
The bags were then placed for a day on
the paper. turned occasionally. and on the
morning of the third day sprinkled liber-
ally with violet water. and consigned to
their places in the bureau drawers.
Whenever the fragrance becomes too
duh another application of the violet wat
er is a stimulous to another outpouring of
old-fashioned sweetness.-Ladies' Home
