COMING HERE TO BUY.
Merchants From the South Come on
Manufacturers Excursions.

Among the arrivals on the Southern
overland yesterday were a large number
of merchants from Texas, New Mexico.
Arizona and the southern part of the
State. coming here to make their fan
purchases of goods. They are excursion
lists who have taken advantage of the
offer of the Manufacturers and Whole
salers' League. which offers transporta-
ton, hotel and amusement rates to BUYERS
at half the usual charges. The purpose
of these inducements is to have the coun-
try. merchants buy their goods In this city
and State instead of sending to the East
for the same. Heretofore much of the
business Of the West has been done with
Eastern houses, and Western manufactur-
ers have suffered not little by this dis
elimination.
1t was determined to secure some of
this trade. and in making the attempt the
local body has reached well out into the
territory which the Eastern houses NAV
be of the opinion is theirs. Montana
Idaho, Utah and Washington have gone
away well satisfied with their bargains
Now come Texas New Mexico Arizona
and the southern part of California to buy
in the city by the Golden Gate There will
be several other excursions before the
season is over and the promoters of the
project feel that they will be we'll repaid

HEALTH OFFICERS CLASH.
Inspector Cans and Surgeon o 'Rourke
Differ About Immature Veal.

Differ About Immature Veal.
There is a clash between Market In
spector Cans on one side and Veterinary
Surgeon O'Rourke and Officer Butter
worth on the other, and it may be neces-
sary for the Health Board to take hand
in the controversy to arrive at a satisfac-
tory settlement.
1t is all caused by the arrest of Jesse
Meyer by O'Rourke and Butterworth last
Thursday. Meyer was apprehended on the
Mission road as he was bringing in load
of veal. O'Rourke pronounced the calves
imn1ature and two charges were placed
against Meyers, one of having immature
veal in his possession and the other Of
slaughtering outside the limits.
Cans visited the city Prison where the
two calves were held as evidence and, on
examination, pronounced them whole
some. In the face of this. however, j. G.
Witt, rancher of San Mateo, says that
he sold the live calves to Meyer when
they were only three days old. They
were slaughtered by Meyer on the day he
bought them.
Cans claims that O'Rourke is invading
his official domain. while the latter de-
clares that if Cans says that the two
calves in question are over three days old
he is not competent TO perform his duties
and should produce some valid reasons for
his conclusion.
The case will not come up until the lat
ter part of the week. when Judge Conlan
will decide between the opposing Health
employees.

THE GAMBLERS AT COLMA.

n EPORTS from Colma to the effect that the
~ gamblers have by no means abandoned their
scheme for incorporating town in that dis
rict and making it headquarters for their gambling
hells. The exposure OF the scheme by The Call
directed the attention OF the people of the county
and at once there was an outburst of indignation and
earnest protest against the nearious plan. Before
that expression OF popular sentiment the gamblers
coied but they did not retreat. 1t appears they
but waiting for the storm to blow and in the
meantime are quietly but persistenty working to win
over to their side many of the credulous resi-
dents OF Colma and the vicinity as they can.
In contest of this kind the people must be con-
tnuously watchful. The gambling trade is nefarious
but it is profitable There thousands of dollars
be made by any set of men who can get a chance to
maintain anywhere within the vicinity of San Fran
cisco poolrooms and other gambling devices open to
the public and free from police surveillance. When
the Ingleside track gamblers had their and pool
rooms running in full blast they had something like
bonanza, and thousands of dupes we'll
men, contributed to their enrichment.
Where so much money is to be made without risk
and without the exercise OF industry of skill there
are sure to be many unscrupuous eager to take
advantage OF it. They can afford to work long time
on the scheme and they can afford to pay out large
sums for the concessions they wish Even if one set
of gamblers abandon the scheme another set will
come forward to take it up The contest against
gambling IS in fact, that goes from generation
to generation, and the attention of the gamblers be-
ing now directed to Coma the residents OF that at
tractve suburb will have to be on guard continu-
ousy.
The tactics now adopted by the schemers is that OF
dividing public sentiment at Colma and arrayng one
set of residents against another Should they succeed
in doing it will be easy make the appear
as a local controversy incorporation, in which
the residents OF other sections of San Mateo County
have no interest By such means they hope to CON
cea their activity in the matter and lead the pub
lie to believe that question of gambling is involved
Such tactics cunning They will be used to the
utmost get the Supervisors to call election on
the issue When the election is called the gamblers
and all their political push will show themselves The
genuine residents of the district will be overwhelm-
ingly outvoted. The danger, it will be seen, is still
menacing The people of San Mateo must be on
guard and to it that the Supervisors stand firmly
against the efforts to corrupt the community.

more than any one other influence to de-
velop prize lighting. The popularity and
lucrativeness of prize fighting is purely a
matter of newspaper advertising. The
Examiner has taken the initiative in the
recent development eof free advertising
which alone has given the ring its finan-
cial standing. One-half of this free ad-

things too numerous to mention, came
near to having lately deceased and re
mains" added to his other titles And the
best of 1t is the death he so narrowly es-
capped was that of a burglar and general
all-around criminal. Here is the story OF
the gallant captains adventure:
Barnes had been retained in the Mitchell
murder case at Colma, and his presence
was necessary at the preliminary eXamin-
alton of the defendant.
He telegraphed to his father-in-law, D.
NJ Delmas, that he would pass the night
at the Delmas home in Mountain View
and then dismissed the matter of lodging
from his mind He passed the early part
of the evening in convivial pursuits in
this city. taking the owl train down to
the country He arrived at Mountain
View in comparatively good condition and
walked out to the Delmas residence. But
upon arriving there he found the house
dark and deserted. No one was at home.
Billy figured on the proposition for little
while He remembered the many valuable
hints he had received from professionals
during his career as District Attorney,
but. unfortunately the men who had
given them to him were of smaller bodily
habit than the corpulent Native Son of
the Golden West. Suddenly, however, he
remembered some large double windows
that opened on the porch, and prying
these open he was soon inside. The mat
ter of finding a bed and turning into it
was only a minor detail and soon accom-
plished.
A little while afterward Paul Delmas.
who had been attending small early
down the road, returned to the parental
roof filed with the exuberance of youth,
the glory of the night and mixture of
various f1orid decoctions. He walked up
to the house and noticed the open window.
He at once thought that the place had
been entered by burglars who had ram
sacked it and left. AS they had left he
decided to enter. So with gun in one
hand and a candle in the other he pro-
ceeded to investigate, His shoes made
some noise on the stairs, and this noise
awakened the slumbering Billy. Hal"
said he, burglars! l will escape while
yet there is time" So softly he stole
from his bed and toward the door of his
room. Opening it suddenly he came face
to face with his armed brother-in-law
There was a dual gasp for breath and
then two rigid forms, were stretched upon
the carpet. They had both tainted.

BOYCOTTlNG FRANCE.

II HE Dreyfus verdict has a momentary effect
disastrous to France The whole world has
been lured and enchanted by the preparations
made for the great industrial exposition for
year in Paris. 1t has been planned a
tensive scale than heretofore known France had de-
ternined that it should not only be an exposition of
the worlds progress in industry, science, art and
knowledge up date but should be such spectacle
as to invite to Paris millions of money spending
visitors No nation understands spectacular art and
its value as thoroughly France, and she has coined
profits out OF it, not only the occasion of these
great expositons but by continuous attention to the
creation Of every charm that attract the stranger
Whether this feature in the Partisan exposition de-
tracts from its economic value not it its in
