THE SWEDES CELEBRATE
St. John's Day Is Appropri
ately Honored by Local
Societies.
TWO FACTIONS IN THE LEAGUE.
One Assembles at Harbor View
Park and the Other at Metro
politan Temple.
Ft. John's, or Midsummer's day, as it is
popularly called in Sweden, was appro
priately celebrated by the Swedish popula
tion of San Francisco yesterday. There
was only one thing to disturb the pleasure of
the occasion, and that was the schism in
the ranks of the Swedish Patriotic League,
concerning the manner in which the day
should be observed. A majority favored
holding the exercises at Harbor View Park,
where dancing could be indulged in, and
an occasional glass of beer could be had.
The minority held that such things were
unseemly on St. John's day, claiming that
the event should be observed with song
and prayer and patriotic speeches.
As a result of this difference of opinion,
there were two celebrations yesterday —
one at Harbor View Park, beginning at 3
o'clock and lasting until the midnight
hour, and the other at Metropolitan Tem
ple. Both places were well patronized, so
it is to be presumed that each faction is
thoroughly 'contented with the result of
schism.
It was an ideal day for an outdoor
gathering, and as a consequence several
hundred Swedes were gathered at Harbor
View Park when * the exercises began.
There was not a hitch in the programme,
a result due largely to the following com
mittee of arrangements, the members of
which had everything in excellent order,
not overlooking even the smallest noint:
C. G. Kiellstrom, Alexander Olsson,
Josephine Jansson, A. O. Lindstrom, Mrs.
Ovlen, O. A. Clasell and George Wahl
crantz. The afternoon exercises opened
with a selection of Swedish airs, followed
by the Swedish Singing Society, which
rendered in excellent style a song written
by Alexander Oleson.
Then came the maypole dance and the
fifty or sixty youths and maidens who lent
their services were roundly applauded at
its conclusion.
The evening programme was as follows:
Bong. Swedish Singing Society; address,
•'Our Native Country."" Dr. F. Westerberg;
music, orchestra: original poem, Ernst
Skarstedt; song, Swedish Singing Society;
oration, "The Swedes in America," Oliver
Olsen; Swedish songs, by Swedish Singing
Society.
Then came the pretty national dance,
which was very nicely executed by the
following young ladies and gentlemen:
Miss E. Nelson, Miss M. Carlson, Miss
Laura Johnson, Miss Ida Nelson, Miss A.
W. Larson, Miss B. Winberg, Alex Olsson,
Grest Olsson, H. Carlson, Grest Anderson,
O. Carlson and A. Bcrgstrom.
The following were the various commit
tees of the day :
Decorations Mrs. C. Lindberg, Albert Berg
stroni. K. A. Lundstrum, K. E. Hansen, A. F.
Brandstadt.
Music— Joseph Okerblad, N. Ovlen, George
Wahlcrantz.
Finance— Charles Danielson. Alfred Johnson.
AT METEOPOLITAB" TEMPLE.
Over Two Thousand Peoplo Present at the
Midsummer Day Festivities.
Metropolitan Temple was crowded to the
doors last night with a representative as
sembly of Swedes, who came together to
celebrate Sweden's national holiday—Mid
summer's day, it is called in that land of
the midnight sun. By 9 o'clock ■over 2000
people were in the vast hall, and they kept
coming until there seemed no place for the
proverbial "one more."
A month ago there was trouble in the
ranks of the Swedish National League
over the manner in which Midsummer's
day should be celebrated. The result of
this was that the ministers and those in
sympathy with them Withdrew from the
league and formed themselves into an
organization called the Swedish-American
National Union. How rapidly and suc
cessfully they have worked, and that their
position on the question of celebrating the
day with wine and dancing met the hearty
approval of hundreds of Swedes, is attested
by the immense throng in Metropolitan
Temple last evening.
The stage was handsomely decorated
with bright flowers and ferns, while a
beautiful wreath of flowers, relieved with
evergreen, encircled the. entire upper gal
lery. On each side of the stage, hanging
in graceful folds, were American and
Swedish flags. On the rostrum were seated
Rev. C. A. Anderson. Rev. A. Sjolander;
Gottfred Johnson, the poet; Rev. A. M.
Le Veau, Rev. J. O. Wahlberg, Consul
Henry Lund, Rev. L. Dahlgren, Revs. C.
W. and L. A. Nelson. The entire pro
gramme was rendered in the Swedish lan
guage, except an address by Rev. E.
Icelander and the song "America."
The first speaker of the evening was Rev.
Allfrid Sjolander, pastor of the First Swed
ish Baptist Church of Oakland. Mr. Sjo
lander is well known within his own de
nomination, having had charge of some of
its largest churches. He was for a number
of years editor of the Missions Bladet, a
Swedish Baptist weekly, published at
Minneapolis. After expressing his thanks
for the honor of having the privilege of ad
dressing such a large, enthusiastic and rep
resentative assembly, the speaker stated
that the object of the meeting was twofold:
First, to celebrate the Midsummer even
ing in remembrance of the land of the
midnight sun; and second, to unite the
Swedish- American people, as far as pos
sible, for mutual aid, and to work for the
welfare of their adopted country. He com
pared their love for their native land to a
dutiful son's regard for an aged mother,
and their love for America to a noble hus
band's affection for bis bride. He also
gave a poetical description of the midnight
sun, which he had seen many times in his
boyhood days. <
The following is ; the - programme ren
dered:
Music, A. C. Eckman ; song, "All the World
Praise the Lord"; song, by Mission friends;
address, Rev. A. Sjolander; song, David's
twenty-fourth psalm, by seventy-live voices;

evening, and he filled the office with credit
to himself and honor, to those who elected
him. The following committee had charge
of the entertainment. A. Wistand (presi
dent), P. M. Paulson (treasurer). Rev. A.

AMONG THE LABOR UNIONS.
Stonecutters Balloting for General
Officers— The Musicians and
Herr Scheel. >
Balloting is now going on 'in all the
unions throughout this . country and
Canada for the " general officers of the,
Stonecutters' Association of North
America, and last night the local union
met at 1159 Mission street and cast its vote
for the following : Andrew > McElroy < of
Marble Hill president, Robert Browne of
Denver vice-president, and James Lawler
of Rochester. N. V., secretary -treasurer.
The headquarters of the general associa
tion are at Washington, D. C, and the
present ' secretary-treasurer, James F.
McHugh, is president of the Federated
Trades there. ■••
Nominations for officers of the local
union will be made at the next meeting,
July 8, and the election will take place two
weeks later.
. The Musicians' Union will decide to
morrow whether it will withdraw from the
National organization or not. Professor
Fritz Scheel has proved no end of trouble
ever since fourteen of his musicians went
back to New York and complained that he
had not fulfilled his contract to properly
return them to that city, and besides owed
back salaries amounting to about $1200.
The National organization ordered the
local union to expel him, but on his repre
sentation that he failed to keep his con
tract simply because his concerts did not
prove to be the financial successes antici
pated and therefore he had not the
money to do so, it decided to obey the
order. The question now is, will it stand
by Scheel and place itself in antagonism
toward the National organization, or will
it expel a musisian simply because he was
financially unable to keep his agreement?
The board of directors will meet this after
noon.
Carpenters' brotherhoods Nos. 483 and
304— the latter German— met last night,
and reported great increase of membership.
It is expected that before long all the local
brotherhoods will be represented in ' the
Labor Council. \ ;
BRESSE'S LAWYER TALKS
Attorney Lloyd Says McGlauf
lln's Partner Protected
Himself.
A Rumor That Bookkeeper Smith Is
Within a Short Distance of
This City.
It was told on 'Change yesterday morn
ing that Smith, McGlaafiin & Co. miss
ing bookkeeper had been located and
could be produced within a few hours'
notice.
Smith and Bresse are still absent, how
ever, and the experting of the books has to
be carried on without the valuable assist
ance which their presence would be to Re
ceiver Collins and Expert Kirkpatrick.
Mr. McGlauflin is seen on 'Change daily,
and his operations are as extensive as ever.
His manner conveys no suggestion of the
financial and business inconvenience he
must have suffered through the conduct of
his late partner. He adheres to the belief
that Bresse is accountable for Smith's dis
appearance, and that the latter's own
vanishment was not without a well-defined
cause. The discoveries made by the ex
pert from day to day confirms his sus
picion.
Louis Bresse does not appear to be in
the least worried by his brother's con
tinued and unexplained absence, and he
persists in the statement that he knows
nothing about his movements.
Attorney Lloyd, who was consulted by
Bresse about the dissolution of the firm of
McGlauflin and Co., said yesterday tbat he
did not represent the young man any
more than that he had given him some ad
vice, and he has not seen him since.
.."I do not think,-' he said, "that Bresse
has any cause to absent himself, and I be
lieve he has taken a very unwise course in
so doing. In taking that $18,099 he simply
protected himself, according to what. he
told me. The $18,099, so he said, was not
quite half of . the : firm's commissions,
and that McGlauflin has more than that.
"If that is the true status of the case then
Bresse is extremely foolish for keeping his
whereabouts a mystery. All that I told
him was that when two partners became
dissatisfied or suspicious of one another
the best thing they could do was to close
up their affairs and to separate as quickly

as possible. Bresse, it seems/objected to
Mr. McGlauflin's wife being brought into
the matter. When I went to talk to Mr.
McGlauflin he wanted me to bold the con
ference in the presence of his wife- I told
him there was no reason or business in
that and therefore declined to have Mrs.
McGlauflin made a party to the talk."
McGlauflin claims ' that Bresse took
everything and instead of leaving his (Mc-
Glauflin's) share of ' the commissions, the
$18,099 represented what was due the firm
after the counter claim of the Fair trustees
was paid. ...
Mr. Rankin, the attorney for L. W. Mc-
Glauflin, heard yesterday that -Detective
Stilwell. employed by Smith's father, had
been discharged from farther service yes
terday, called on the latter and asked him
the direct question as to whether he had
found the missing bookkeeper.' - , -
Stilwell was unable to answer the ques
tion for professional reasons, though what
he did say satisfied Rankin that Smith's
present whereabouts were known to the
satisfaction of the anxious ' father at least,
and that Bresse was not far away from
his former employe. " ■: > .-. . ■■•.
Wh en seen late last night "'Stilwell said
he had located Smith. "I have made my
final report to the young man's father and
have received my money. >' I will add
that circumstances may 'be such >. in ; a
few days— say two or three days— I
can open my ; mouth on this ' matter, and
then I will "give you "some information
bearing on the subject that will be startl
ing. I cannot tell just when I can speak,
but I am confident it will not be far dis
tant. There will be interesting develop
ments. ■ ■ '.' -''' : W '"■•. ■

THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, TUESDAY, JUNE 25, 1895.
THE BAY DISTRICT RACES.
Captain Rees Won, but Was
Placed Last for an Al
leged Foul.
TWO FAVORITES IN FRONT.
Crawford Took a Sprint Race In a
Hot Drive From Elsie at Odds
of IO to 1. ' 7
Spry Lark is the first of the get of Fi tzejames
towin"a race.
Charley Quinn backed Norblieh around the
ring in the opening race.
John Merrill has severed his connection as
assistant to Starter Ferguson.
Jack Atkins bet $100 on Crawford with
Johnny Goleman at odds of 10 to 1.
Crawford and Spry Lark were both quoted at
10 to 1 during some stage of the betting.
Con Hermann, the Barney Schreiber of San
Mateo, made a mild killing on Crawford.
Charles Boots has changed' the name of the
brown orother of Torchbearer from Firebrand
to Fireman. 7 j7 >•
Johnny Coleman laid a short price against
Captain Rees, and took the Installator money.
He had a rather lengthy line after the decis
ion.
: After the last race, Eddie Jones, who rode
Installator, stated that he had no intention of
claiming a foul against Captain Rees, as the
foul was so slight that it did not perceptibly
retard the progress of his mount. He was
called into the stand by the judges.
Judging by the aspect of his countenance,
Johnny Humphreys evidently thought the life
of a horse-owner not a happy one after the
fourth race. He kept bunching the price
against his horse, Joe Cotton, finally getting it
to 31^ to 1, and then threw his bundle in. The
old sprinter finished fourth.
Failings in the memory result very bene
ficially at times. Louie Lloyd, the jockey, bet
$50 on Elsie of the Burns & Waterhouse string
for the nlace in the fourth race, thinking all
the while he was backing Zeta of the same
stable. He cashed the ticket, and it is in order
now to tell his friends he thought her a "cinch."
Little Mclntyre, who can ride as light as 80
pounds, won his first mount during the meet
ing on Major Cook. The lad is in, the employ
of Frank Taylor, and If he heeds the advice of
older heads will some day become a good rider.
His ride on Major Cook, who is not the easiest
horse in the world to ride, would do credit to a
more experienced jockey.
While at the post in the two-year-old race the
colt Valientehad a narrow escape from injury.
During some of his frolicsome antics he man
aged to get one of his hind legs in a. space in
the outside fence caused by the removal of one
of the boards. He remained perfectly quiet,
and was finally extricated from his dangerous
position without injury. It was his hoodoo
day, however, for when the flag fell he was al
most left at the post.
During his career on the turf Starter Fergu
son has managed to steer clear of green goods
men and bunko sharps, but it remained for a
San Francisco newsboy to "do him." While
standing on the steps to the clubhouse balcony
after the last race yesterday, Mr. Ferguson pur
chased an evening paper, tendering the boy a
half-dollar piece. The boy did not have change,'
and started to get it from his "pardner," saying
he would be gone but a minute. He must have
had an awful rough time getting that change,
for the starter has not ; seen the color of it yet,
• and he left the track with the romark, "I'm a
sucker if I haven't been done."
All ot C. Weber's clever horsemanship
and Dresence of mind went for naught.
Many pounds the better horse, Captain
Rees won, but was disqualified for beating
the second horse twice. The last event on
the card was one that brought about this
odd decision and caused so much discus
sion. \ ln a mile; purse race, Captain Rees
and Installator opened equal choices in the
bettine at 6 to 3, the former's price being
cut to 9 to 10 at post time, while 7 to 5 was
laid against Installator. Thornhill and
Raindrop were the only other starters.
Installator went out in front when Fer
guson ; sent them away, with Roes at his
heels. This order was unchanged until a
furlong from -home, when the Captain
drew up on equal terms with the Boots
entry, and gradually forging ahead soon
had a lead of two lengths, with Jones rid
ing the second choice hard.
Captain Rees is a horse with a decidedly
strong penchant 'for the position next the
rail, and forty yards from the wire he bore
in suddenly, ■ despite Weber's efforts to
keep him straight. - This, of course, gave
Installator a chance to make up some lost
ground. In a twinkling Weber pulled
Rees out, his head almost facing the
grand stand, his horse's body in the j in
terim barely touching Installator. Straight
ening him again almost in a flash, he rode
him out and lifted, his mount in winner a
good head. Thornhill . followed a , poor
third. ;---7" • •_ . ■'-''■ y v' : -\>-.
Although no foul was claimed, ■. the
judges disqualified Captain . Rees, placing
him last, giving the ; race to Installator.
The decision was hailed with joy by many
of the small bettors, but was received with
much disfavor by the larger fry. " '
The unfavorable condition of the weather
and a cheap card drew a very light crowd
to the track, the betting plainly showing
the need of stimulus. 7 •
' The ' erratic Major Cook ' was a- 7 to 10
favorite over the other four entries in the
first race, a five and a half furlong dash,
and after ; swerving badly in " the stretch
passed O'Bee, who tried to make a run
away j race of it, : and won ' easily in 1 :08.
Talbot Clifton, well backed, finished third.
The four and a half furlong dash brought
out l ten J maiden ; two-year-olds. City ; Girl
was '• first in demand \at 14 to ; 5. with , Fire
man ; second : choice '■ at : 7?to '2, Spry Lark
backed from 10 to 6to 1, and Valierite car
ried the most coin of the other starters.
; The . heretofore -. unlucky Spry Lark got
away in front when the flag fell, and main
taining the lead throughout, won by three
parts of a ; length from the first choice,
City Girl. Fireman, who had been running
third, finished in that position. 7
Jerome S clearly outclassed the lot op
posed to him In the mile, selling race, and
although Norblieh was backed to beat him '
he came from behind and beat the half
brother to Lovdal with consummate ease
at the wire, with post odds of 11 to 3
against him. San Luis Rey was a fair
third. . *. . .--T'V- 7 ",.--/'•'../ 7
The fourth race, a five-and-a-half-furlong
spin with light welter-weights , up, wa-j
supposed to be a good ' thing for Joe Cot
ton, his partisans sending him to the post
a 11 to s . favorite, but Crawiord, upset all
calculations by winning on the ■ wire, a

run from the rear. Myron, who made all

Two Health Boards.
A special meeting of the Board of Health
has been called for this evening and there
will be two I separate j" Boards of , Health
present, both willing to do the business of
the department. The fight will begin
from the roilcall. •
Dr. Sarah Shuey and ' Dr. Beckwith, who
were deposed at the last meeting, will be
present and ask to have their names called.
Dr. Akerly, the president of the board, 1 says
that he will recognize them as members.
Both of these doctors i claim that Mayor
Davie had no authority to depose them, as
it was a matter that could be decided only
in the courts. : v*
Yesterday, the three homeopaths, Drs.
Selfridge, Larkey. and Bradley, went to
Secretary Schaefer and ordered a meeting
called, stating as their reasons three
things: First, to remove Dr. Mayon as
Health Officer and appoint , his successor;
second, to remove „ Secretary ' Schaefer and ,

HAUNTED GAMBLING PLACES.
The Man Who Hung the Paulsell
Jury Under Examination
for Perjury.
. Julius Meyer, the juror in the Paulsell
case who hung the jury because of his
prejudice against Judge Belcher, was tried
before Judge Murphy yesterday afternoon
on a charge of perjury. Judge Murphy
held court as a committing magistrate.
The charge was based upon the theory
that in acting in such a manner after
swearing to try the case fairly and without
bias, Meyer violated , the oath which he
took when sworn in as a juryman.
Oscar Tolle, clerk of Department 11, was
called to tell how Meyer was drawn and
sworn.* M.J; McGinnis, the stenographer
of Judge Belcher's court, read from his
notes of the trial the opening statement
made by Mr. Piexotto, the Assistant Dis
trict Attorney, who prosecuted the case,
and from the testimony of several of the
witnesses— tending to show what kind of a
place Carroll's resort was— one which
had been robbed, the object being to show
that Meyer was also well acquainted with
that fact and was in full sympathy with the
defendant when he went on the jury.
Andy Clunie, Meyer's attorney, opened
the proceedings with :an objection to the
sufficiency' of the complaint, but Judge
Murphy ruled that, while not drawn up as
carefully and with that exactness which is
necessary in a criminal information, still
for the purposes of a preliminary examin
ation it was sufficient. Another point
which Clunie raised was that the clerk had
no power under the code to administer an
oath to a juror until after a challenge, but
the court ruled that custom sanctioned
that proceeding and it is so allowable.
. The remainder of the testimony went to
show that Meyer was in the habit of fre
quenting gambling-houses, and was, in
fact, a "booster." A "booster,'! it was
learned from the evidence, is a man who
goes into a poker game, plays with the
money of the house and is paid for play
ing, the idea being that it will keep up in
terest in the game and never allow matches
to be in such a state that a visitor might
want to play and should be unable to find
an opponent.
W. Rustermeyer, at one time pro
prietor of the Thalia Music Hall, testified
that Meyer was a "booster" in the card
rooms attached to the resort, and that he
used to play for a percentage of his win
nings, or for a fixed stipend. W. H.
Wilder, a racing man, said he had known
Meyer as a habitue of gambling-houses,
ana Frank J. Feeney (a bartender), De
tective , Gibson and M. J. Creighton, who
ran the Thalia cardrooms for a short time,
corroborated this. The people's case was
then closed and the defense will commence
this morning. "'-' •
BETTER TIMES AHEAD.
The Improved Condition of Busi
■ . ness.
Evidences that better times are coming
are to be seen on all sides, and air lines of
business are feeling the revivifying effects
of the increasing trade.
"In fact, the ' better times * are already
here," remarked J. J. O'Brien in a short
conversation yesterday afternoon at his
mammoth, dry. goods establishment, and
his words were strongly emphasized by
the scene of bustle and activity on all sides.
"During the past two or three weeks the
improvement in our business has been
very remarkable indeed," said Mr. O'Brien,
"and while this is undoubtedly in part
due to the great sacrifice clearance sale we
are now holding still there is a general
livening up of all' branches of trade, as I
have learned in my intercourse with other
business men, and with the present favor
able outlook for all California products
there -isi no : reasonable doubt ; that the
coming season ; will be one of great ac

Stoddard and Kipling.
7 .Yesterday ' Joseph ' D.' Strong, artist, re
ceived a letter from Charles Warren Stod
dard,' poet, of which the following is a par
agraph : " " '• ■
. Here lam at Rudyard Kipling's lovely home,
having a glorious loaf of a few days with him.
This house is the house of heavenly rest, and
he is an angelic host. Hope to be back in Wash
ington by the middle of the week, and to start
on the Western trip July 1.
Mr. Stoddard has been looking forward
with : great pleasure to a summer vacation
in California^: Several times during the past
ten years he planned the trip, but some
thing interposed to defeat his plans.
• Last evening Mr. Strong received a mes
sage by wire from the poet, in which it was
stated that all plans for the journey had
, been perfected. • Mr. " Stoddard ,< will 1 arrive
in San Francisco Saturday of next week. ;•:'"*
7 The first literary - work which brought
Charles Warren Stoddard's name to public
notice was done in Oakland for a monthly
: journal conducted by Mr. Strong's father.
Subsequently thepoet visited Europe and
the Holy Land. His notes and impressions
of foreign :j travel s were " published in the
daily press and read with pleasure.
ODD EFFECT OF HEAT.
People Prostrated by It Have Cool
Bodies and Moist Skin.
That a marked coolness of the body should
be a recognized sign of heat exhaustion seems
like nonsense, but Is really sober, scientific
fact. People who work in overheated rooms on
hot days, whether their brains or muscles are
occupied, suffer from headache, prostration
and nervous collapse. The temperature of the
body, which should be 98 and a fraction, sinks
to 96 or 95 and the skin is cool, pale and moist.
In cases of heat exhaustion stimulants are
freely applied to quicken the circulation and
restore nervous power. For this purpose noth
ing equals Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey, which is
kept on hand by workers in offices, factories,
shops, laundries wherever men and women
with a living to earn must toil on in the heat.
Our American summer is an awful drain on
the vital force. To sustain the flagging energy
during the torrid weeks Duffy's Pure Malt
Whiskey is of the greatest possible benefit and
for that reason is highly prized by the great
body of honest, self-respecting working people.
It is an article for the home. It's purity and
acknowledged medicinal value make it a
treasure In the family, especially in the hot
months, when in cases of emergency the prompt
use of the superb stimulant may avert disaster.
