STATE ELECTIONS THIS FALL.

\ HILE the Democrats are struggling hard to
w find material for a national platform and an
issue on which to challenge the administration,
the time is rapidly approaching when in several States
they will have to take the field for the elections OF the
fall Their bewilderment and confusion increase as
the dates for opening the campaigns draw nearer and
it is now evident that in every they will make
such contest as they local issues only leaving
national affairs to be dealt with time and chance
may determine next year.
In six States-Iowa, Kentucky Maryland, Massa-
chusetts, Mississippi and Oho-Governors are to be
elected. Pennsylvania will elect State Treasurer
and two Justices OF the Supreme Court. Legisla-
lures are to be elected in several States but the con-
tests interesting the general public except in
New York and Virginia. The latter State is, OF
course sure to be carried by the Democrats, but as
the question is to be raised in nominating conven-
tons whether Virginia Democracy favors choice OF
United States Senators by direct of the people,
the result will be watched with considerable attention
by all who interested in the movement that end.
1t is said to be the intention OF the Democratic
leaders in New York to poll as large as pos
be this fall for the purpose OF recovering the pres
tge OF the State in Democratic National Conventions
which was lost in 1906 1t is the belief OF Tammany
that if it can carry the State this year will be better
able to beat Bryan year. For that reason the
New York contest is expected to be than ordi-
rarily vigorous for off year. 1t will be fought,
however solely on State issues if the Democrats have
their way for neither faction OF the party has any de-
sire to take definite position any national ques-
ton whatever.
The contest in Maryland will be marked on the
Democratic side mainly by determination to recover
control OF the State for the purpose OF revvng the
political fortunes OF German and putting him in a
favorable position from which to aspire to the nom-
nation the Presidency next year The recent cleo
ton in Baltimore has given the German stawarts
son for hoping to carry the State and accordingly
they will make the fight only with ardor but with
strong expectations OF and there is some
dissatisfaction in the Republican camp it will not be
surprising if Maryland returns this fall to the Demo
cratic fold and German emerges from his enforced re-
tirement to again the role OF Democratic
leader.
In Ohio the Republicans have already held their
State convention and put strong ticket in the field
The old factions in the party continue exist
antagonism between them is less keen this year than
il has been for time past. No evidence of Bit
erness has been disclosed anywhere except in Cleve-
land so that all prospects point sweeping Repub-
can victory matter what ticket the Democrats put
up, or upon what issues they choose to make their
attack.
In scarcely any State will there be much in the way
of national politics involved in the campaign There
will be- of less talk of free silver but
it will not be fervent much needed 1t is going to

MORE DISPOSITIONS
IN THE LUNG CASE
ALL AGREE AS TO THE LADY'S
HABITS.
Evidence to Prove That She Drank,
Cursed, Fought and Abused
Her Husband at Hand.

Dispositions Of the friends and acquaint-
ances of Dr.. George A. Lung are piling up
and will be used by him when his action
for divorce from his wife, Elizabeth Lung,
comes to trial before Judge Hebbard.
Yesterday demurrer to the plaintiff S
complaint was overruled by Judge Heb
bard. and Mrs. Lung must now answer
the complaint. Issues will then be Joined
and the case will go to trial.
After the matter of demurrer was dis
posed of dispositions lately arrived from
the East were opened at the request of
the defendants attorneys. The first was
that of Charles H. Rockwell of Beaufort,
S. c. He deposed that he had seen Mrs.
Lung at Port Royal, S. c., on several oc-
casions. and although she acted strangely
he could not swear that she was intoM-
Gated "She was always vivacious,' he
said. "She might have been angry, but
I can't swear that she was under the IN
fiuence of liquor"
John Surman Of the United States Ma
rine Corps at Port Royal testified that
Mrs. Lung came to his house on several
occasions in a state of unquestionable in
toxication. Finally the witness implored
DR. Lung to keep Mrs. Lung away from
his home as he did not believe her 70 be
a fit associate for his wife. Mrs. Lung
heard that Surman told her husband OF
her intoxica ton and she approached the
witness and asked him how much she
owed him. He said so cents. She drew
it from her pocket and, thrusting it into
his hand, said: There, you dirty marine,
I don't owe you anything now. and you
may depend upon it I will make things
warm for you" In conclusion the witness
said that he saw Mrs. Lung drunk hVe
times in. six weeks and while in this con con
dition she cared nothing for her actions,
reaching the lowest depths of abandon.
Patrick Wall testified to the same facts
and a new line was brought out IN the
deposition of w. a. Mackenzie of Scroon
Lake. n. Y. He said that he saw the
couple at Beaufort. S. c., his attention
being called to them by the intoxication
and profane language Of the lady. He
afterward saw them in the train, and
without warning Mrs. Lung assaulted her
husband, slapped his face, pulled his hair,
dug her nails in his cheeks and wound
up by throwing a bunch of wet flowers in
his face. Through it all Dr. Lung sat in
deep humiliation, but never raised his
hand toward the woman. Finally he was
forced to call upon the witness for pro-
lection, and Mackenzie promptly quieted
her by threatening her with arrest An
other batch of dispositions will be opened

IS HE READY TO RESIGN?
Press Comment on the Governors Talk,
A Straight Tip on the Extra
Session,
NOT A HAPPY GOVERNOR

In Down the Line" column of the
Los Angeles Herald The Calls story con-
corning Governor Cages talk of resigning
receives extended notice The Herald
says:
All this talk printed of late about the
Governors being about to resign office is
not without some foundation. I do not
dream for moment that he will resign
but l know that he would like to, beyond
question. Any number of times has he
confided to friends that had he known
just what the place entailed he would
never have left the enjoyment and profit
of his law offices for politics and that he
would be glad to get out of il all if he
could. But he is not the man to take his
hand off the plow handles until the end
of the furrow is reached. and he is just
iraScible and obstinate enough if at the
end of his term, his enemies attempt to
take the position that he must get out of
the field, TO go in and be reelected or
run for the Senate, or something Of the
like. 1t is safe to say that he is not par
ticularly happy as Governor, but he will
stick TO the game till the last card is
down. Uncle Neff will not have the task
imposed on him of running the State ma
chfnery if Henry can live out his term,
and he is pretty hearty.

MRS. STANFORD'S
SPLENDID GIFT
TO OLYMP|CS
Cancels Five I hou-
sand in Bonds.
PART OF BIG DEBT ERASED
SOME OTHER BoNDHoLDERS
EXPECTED TO FOLLOW.
Directors of the Olympic Club Are
Grateful and Will Show Their
Appreciation to the
Donor.

The board of directors of the Olympic
Club were presented on Saturday with
$4,000 of their own bonds. Mrs. Jane Stan
ford was the donor and her cancellation
of the debt due her by the club was
surprise which the directory will long re-
member.
When the present club building was
erected bonds were issued as security to
the subscribers of stock. Since the issu-
ance the bonded Indebtedness has re-
mained at the same figure which it as
sumed originally. A fair rate of interest
was paid the holders for many years, but
the financial condition of the club was
such that little hope existed for the can
collation. OF the bonded indebtedness. The
subscribers were chiefly the big capital
lists of San Francisco, and they put their
money into the club not as an investment
but rather to serve some public municipal
end James G. Fair and others of the
big mining contingent subscribed freely.
The stock was never put upon the market
and has no marketable value. Should the
bondholders determine TO press the CLUB
for the payment of the money Which mas
long become due it would OF necessity
force the Olympic Club out OF existence
At the beginning OF this year the dl-
Fectors decided not to pay interest on
great portion OF the bonded debt The
majority Of the holders gave an acqul-
escence TO this action of the board. There
were some, however, who objected siren
uously to this sacrifice of their rights.
The matter was finally adjusted without
the necessity of the payment Of the in
terest.
The generosity of Mrs Stanford in the
cancellation of the $1,000 of the club bonds
has been the occasion of many encomiums
on the part of the clubs board of direct
ors This is the first big cancellation Of
Olympic bonds since their issuance ten
years ago. While the bonds were prac-
tically valueless-for no holder cared to
force a sale of the club property-the
board of directors feels deep obligations
to the generosity of Mrs. Stanford. 1t is
expected that many other large bond
holders will follow the course set by her.
Should the Olympic Club be freed from
this heavy incumbrance by such means
again.

MRS. CROWLEY IS

JUDGE DAINGERFIELD RENDERS
A DECISION.
The Fathers Offer to Support His
Baby in Convent Is Not Con-
sidered by the Court.

The contest between J. George Crowley,
nookkeeper of the Union Ice Company,
and his former wife, Mrs. Matte Crow
ley, for the custody Of their ffve-year-oId
daughter was concluded before Judge
Daingerfeld yesterday morning. Mrs.
crowley was granted the custody of the
child until the further order of the court.
Ihe parties to the action were prolific
IN their charges against each other. and
mad the court taken either side seriously
II is certain that a third person would
nave have had the care Of the child for some
Tune to come. After counsel and litigants
nad concluded their battle Judge Danger
neid decided the case. He said that he
believed that the child was practically an
infant although aged years. As sug-
seSted, the court held that he believed the
chl!d grandmother to be a proper person
TO nave her care and custody, but mas
much as Mrs. Crowley was her mother
and might through her baby's influence
lead a more quiet life, and since the little
one could not be aware of the matters
presented to the court, he would not
change the decree and hence allowed the
child to remain with her mother Mr.
crowley offered to pay 500 a month for the
care and maintenance of the child In
either convent or a seminary, but the
court refused to interfere

EXTRA SESSION GOSSIP.

In view of the amount of gossip con-
cerning an extra session, The Call has
figured up the probable cost. 1t finds
that session of thirty days would cost
$4,000, sixty days $3.50 900, and ninety
days $379,0 600
No one can tell how long the session
might last and consequently what it
would cost; but one thing may be con-
sidered certain-any good It would accom-
plish would not begin to pay for the ex-
pense. In fact, the session would do more
harm than good, aside from any question
Of expense. The people will hope that
Governor Gage will stick to his announced
determination not to call any extra ses-
sion.-San Jose Herald.

THE CULTIVATION OF VACANT LOTS

n q association in Philadelphia has been follow
ing for two years the example set by Detroit OF
providing gardens for the poor, out OF the va
cant lots OF the city; and while the experiments have
not been very extensive, considering the size OF
Philadelphia the results have been highly gratifying.
A summary given by the Philadelphia Record OF
the second annual report OF the association says that
last year sufficient land for I62 quarter gardens
was secured and given for cultivation to I4o poor
families, numbering 10 persons. Although the sea-
son was not favorable one for gardening as result
OF operations there average yield per garden OF
500 The total outlay OF the association for supern-
tendence seed tools and incidental expenses was
$500 The total value of the product OF the gardens
was 5000 Each dollar spent by the association in
helping its benehcaries to help themselves was thus
turned into four and quarter dollars in their hands
AS was to have been expected, the gardens were
not cultivated with equal industry skill and as
a consequence the results far from being equal
Fifteen of the gardens yielded average OF $Ioo
each while a considerable number averaged yield
OF only $24 each The association Justly claims that
the lowest yield is better than the weeds which would
otherwise have grown the lots. The old principle
that half loaf is better than bread applies in this
as in other efforts to better the conditions OF city
life; and moreover, charitable investment that
turns upward OF three hundred per cent profit after
supplying the needs OF many 1afnlleS ana giving en-
ployment to persons who would otherwise have been
idle and exposed to the temptations OF idleness, may
certainly be accounted bright success.
The association is so pleased with its work that it
has undertaken it on larger scale this year The
superintendent estimates there are thousand fan-
lies in Philadelphia in need of help who would gladly
avail themselves OF such gardens if offered 1t is the
hope OF the association to eventually crafty the full
demand The question of vacant-ot gardening there
fore may be considered settled favorably, so far
as Philadelphia is concerned.
1t to be noted that the work in that city has been
undertaken and is managed by private association
and not by politicians municipal officials. Perhaps
that may have had much to do with the excellent bus-
ress methods of administration and the good results
obtained
