COUNT DE MONTCALM
is HERE WITH MARQUIS
Parisians Extend Pleasure Trip
From Tercentennial at
Quebec

Count de Montcalm, direct descend
ant of General Montcalm, the French
general who fell before Wolfe's bullets
on the Plains of Abraham, arrived in
San Francisco yesterday and is staying
at the Fairmont hotel. With him is
the Marquis de Lewis Miropoux
The two reside in Paris, but came
across the Atlantic to take part in the
tercentennial celebration in Quebec,
Canada. 1t was on the heights above
Quebec that the gallant French gem
eral fell mortally wounded.
Both the count and the marquis are
young men. They said the sole purpose
of their trip was one of pleasure
we thought we would take adj
vantage of the opportunity and visit
the United States of America" said the
marquis. The celebration in Quebec
was eminently successful, and I believe
did much to make stronger the feeling
of friendship existing between Great
Britain and France. 1t was meeting
on a field of honor and of peace. A
brave English general and brave
French general died on the Plains of
Abraham and there two nations gath

MARIN COUNTY GOES
FOR ORGANIZATION
Regulars Win in Primary Elec=
ton in Holly Contested Fight
in Many Districts
Supervisor Pist0IeSi of Sausa=
Ito Defeats Dan Mclean
OF Tibur0n Easily

SAN RAFAEL, Aug 15.-The organ
ization swept Marin county in today S
primaries. The republican factions OF
the county, who had prepared for con-
tests in several of the districts, turned
out in full force An approximate vote
of 1900 was polled. There were con-
tests in Mill Valley, San Anselmo, Sau-
salito and in San Rafael precinct No.
2. The organization was successful
in every contest.
Supervisor Pistolesi of Sausalito de-
feated the ticket headed by n. G. Nor
row. He will probably be renomi-
mated for supervisor against Dan Nc
Lean Of Tiburon.
Mill Valley, which has been suffer
ing from an acute division of the re-
publicans who reside at the base of
Tamalpais, had lively fight. The tick
ct headed by John Buette won out by
a large majority.
The hottest fight of the county was
waged in San Anselmo. A. Bouick
headed a ticket pledged to support any
man who would fight the poolreoms.
Jim Taylor. former assemblyman and
strong organization man, formed an in
dependent ticket and won out over
Bouick by the narrow margin of seven
votes.
Precinct No. in San Rafael also had
its contest S Olmsted, who announced
himself as a candidate to succeed As
semblyman Ed Butler, was defeated by
Butler, who probably will now go back
to the assembly. w. Kemp, who was
supported by the Taylor faction in the
San Anselmo fight, will probably re-
ceive the nomination for supervisor of
district No. 2. Supervisor Goudy will
probably be renominated in super
visorial district No. 4.
William Kent, who recently pre-
sented Marin county with land for a
stadium, has announced himself an in
dependent candidate for supervisor,
Pistolesi will probably succeed himself,
as he has the support of many of the
residents of Sausalito.
Superior Judge Lennon will be re-
nominated. He has been indorsed by
both the republican and democratic
parties. The county convention is to
be held in San Rafael August p.

invited Joe Oilinskf to take a drink.
Mrs. Josie Oslinski, overhearing the in
vitation and not caring whole lot for
either Albert or his system of drink
ing, objected to her husband accepting.
Now Albert being a gent" just d
trifle shy on the finer Eroral discrim-

understand how a wife would deliber-
ateiy attempt to deprive her husband
of such an easy opportunity to get
full. Josie. however, had seen her Joe
perform before after similar generous
offers had been made to him. Hence
the veto
When joe after taking a slant al
his wife, sustained the veto, Mr.. Hlebeb
was certainly "riled.'
He seemed to understand Joe's posi-
ton however, for his anger was di-
rected solely against the lady. After
calling Mrs Oslinski all the names be
could think of (and his vocabulary is
no mean one) he made one grand fina
effort and said she was a blind pig.
Whether Albert was trying to convel

Well Drilled Chorus.
That the chorus is exceptionally well

Judge W. w. Mcmahon said this
morning that a representative of the
