PLANS FOR THE FOURTH
The Arrangements for the Big
Demonstration Nearly
Completed.
PERFECTING MINOR DETAILS.
There Is a Deficit of $900 Which
Must Be Met or Some Fea
tures Omitted.
The preparations for the grand celebra
tion of the Fourth are neariy completed
and the executive committee is in daily
session perfecting th« minor details.
At yesterday's session it was found that
in the funds available there is a deficit of
$900, and that in that is not included any
provision for the payment of the militia
bands or for horses for the artillery or
cavalry. A long discussion on ways of re
trenchment followed the announcement,
the result of which was the appointment
of a committee on retrenchment, to whom
the disagreeable duty of paring down the
expenses was entrusted. The five ap
pointed for that purpose are Messrs.
Reichart, Toy, Tichuor, Marshall and
Doan.
A committee of three was appointed to
confer with General Warfield concerning
J. M. McKenzie Jr., Musical Director
for the Fourth of Juiy Literary
Exercises.
militia music and horses for the mounted
troops. The members are Reichart, Toy
and Tichnor.
The action taken by the Typographical
Union in refusing to turn out and impos
ing a $25 fine on any of its members who,
belonging to some other organization,
should turn out with such organization,
was discussed at length. The action was
taken nominally because the printing had
been done for the committee by non-union
firms.
In the discussion the fact was learned
that all printing which had been done for
t>,e<;ommitfceehaclbeen distributed among
union firms as follows: Hieks-Judd Com
pany, Joseph Winterburn Company, Mur
dock & Co., Patrick <fc Co., The Creightons,
H. S. Crocker & Co., E. C. Hughes and
Eastman it Kimball.
Outside of tire foregoing a $22 50 contract
for posters had been Jet to Cosr>er & Co.,
who are contractors and not printers. No
stipulation was n^ade that the work should
be done by union men, but this was merely
jin oversight, which would not have oc
curred had the union assisted the com
mittee with a suggestion instead of waiting
till the action had been taken and then
condemning it. The programme privilege
W3s sold to Cosper <fc Co. for $50, and with
tiie printing of that the committee has
nothing to do. The amount paid for
printing to firms other than those known
to the union firms was only 7 per cent of
tie entire amount paid for printing, and
Cosp"r& Co. not being printers, but only
contractors, could not be members of the
union in any case.
A second reason alleged for the action of
the Typographical Union was that non
union bands were being employed. In
answer to that it was stated that the bands
employed belong to a union affiliated with
the Indented Trades. Because that union
i? not recognized by the Musicians' Mutual
Protective Union did not make it non
union. The matter simply degenerated,
it was said, into a tight between two
union*, with which the Fourth of July
committee had absolutely nothing to do.
The programme for the literary exer
ri~es was finally approved. The final re
hearsal of the chorus of 300 voices, which
Miss Minnie Powell, Soprano Soloißt
for the fourth of July Exercises.
has been provided for these exercises,
takes place to-night iv Mauzy Hall, 310
Post street. Some very fine musical num
bers have been provided, and the singing
of Miss Minnie Powell especially will be a
treat.
Mr. Rich, chairman of the entertainment
committee, reported that arrangements for
caring for the children had been com
pleted. Mr. Rich has worked hard for the
little ones and is pleased with the plans
perfected, but feels rather anxious about
money, as all he haß to rely on is what has
been collected by the Examiner's subscrip
tion.
Mr. Rich will give a banquet to hie com
mittee after the celebration is over.
C. F. Crocker has donated 2700 street-car
tickets to transport the orphans to and
from the park.
The butchers are preparing a mammoth
display, which will occupy three full divi
sions of the parade.
In addition Mr. Hammond turned over
to the committee yesterday morning a
check for $100 from the Butcners' Board of
Trade.
The newly appointed committee on re
trenchment spent last night working on
the different accounts and figured that
they would be able to reduce the deficiency
to $500 or $600.
EEGEIYING HOSPITAL.
Increased Number of Cases Daring the
Last Fiscal Tear.
The returns of the Receiving Hospital,
as prepared by Steward Trewin for the
fiscal year ending June 30, show that 6704
cases were treated during the year, being
an increase of 968 over the previous year.
The largest number in one month was 600,
in June, which is the largest in any month
for the past four years. There "were 92
deaths, precisely the same number as the
previous year, and 21 persons were brought
in dead.
Of the total number of cases 521 were in
sane, and '295 of these were sent to asylums.
The additional cost entailed by insane
patients being received at the hospital is
$80 per month, of which $60 is for an addi
tional steward.
There were two births during the year,
the smallest number on record.

William Henry Johnson, an lowa
Defaulter, Returning Home
From Honolulu.
The Oceanic steamship Australia ar
rived yesterday morning from Sydney,
Auckland ana Honolulu with large cabin
and steerage passenger lists. Among the
latter was William Henry Johnson, ex-
Treasurer of Muscatine County, lowa, who
returns home to answer to the charges of
forgery and embezzlement committed
while handling the public funds as an offi
cial. He was convoyed by Deputy Sheriff
Wyllie of Muscatine County.
About two years ago Johnson began
v sing the money intrusted to his care in
some private investments. The venture
failed and the enterprising official found
himself ade faulter by about $80,000. He
states tflat he used the money with the
consent of his bondsmen. Johnson left
the State, going first to Kansas, then to
San Franci sco. It is said he landed here
' 'tlat broke" and was only saved from des
titution by his faithful wife, who realized
$700 from the sale of some private prop
erty, 6ending him $200.
With this money he slipped off to Hono
lulu and secured employment as collector
on a newspaper. He was advanced to
bookkeeper, and while attending to this
duty he secured control of a stationery
and candy store. Mrs. Johnson arrived in
Honolulu a few months ago, and as John
son had conducted himself in an exem
plary manner since coming to the islands,
both himself and wife were received in the
best social and religious circles in Hono
lulu. He was an active supporter of the
Provisional Government, also taking a
prominent part in the usual island re
ligious work. He dropped the William,
from his name and was Known as Henry
Johnson, but one day an acquaintance
recognized him and notified the lowa offi
cials of his whereabouts. They sent the
Deputy Sheriff around with the necessary
papers for h is arrest.
Passengers by the Australia state that
the Fourth of July will be celebrated in
Honolulu under the auspices of the Ha
waiian Government, and will conclude
with a parade of the military in the after
noon and a reception by President Dole.
The Americans in the islands favoring
annexation are rejoicing over a portion of
Mrs. Dole's address made recently upon
presenting an ensign to one of the military
companies. The words are as follows:
I take great pleasure in presenting to you
this flag in recognition of your valuable serv
ices during the recent unpleasantness. I hope
that this regiment Will carry it until replaced
by the stars and stripes.
Yesterday morning the tank of 3 gaso
line engine drilling holes in the rails of the
Southern Pacific Company's street lines at
Mission wharf exploded, setting fire to the
truck and wharf and damaging the ma
chinery. Fortunately nobody was injured
and the fire was soon extinguished.
The British coal steamer Port Stevens,
which came in from Newcastle Sunday
evening, has been chartered by McNear.
and will load wheat for Liverpool at 35
shillings.
According to the statement of Lieu
tenant Drake, one of the Board of Inspec
tion, now on the Olympic, that cruiser is
another splendid result of the Pacific Coast
ship-builders' skill.
"The huge fighting machine," said he,
"is as easily handled as a Whitehall boat.
It is marvelous how easy those tons and
tons of metal can be moved. While going
ahead with sixty revolutions of the pro
pellers she; can be stopped and started
backward in ninety seconds. With the
helm hard over and one propeller hacking
while the other is going ahead she will
almost turn as if on & pivot, and wouid do
so but for the fact that the propeller has
more power in its strokes going ahead than
in backing; consequently the vessel will
move a little under the influence of the
'heading' screw. In circling ahead, full
speed, with helm hard astarboard or port
she does not heel over to any extent,
demonstrating her great stability and her
tendency to stand on even keel even with
her great engines dragging her over."
Men are being enlisted on board the two
war vessels, and a large number have pre
sented themselves for a three years' cruise
in foreign waters.
Many a cook's reputation has been made
by the delicious things she has been able
to make with the Koyal Bakine Powder.
How the Ku*sia;m Slake Tea.
In Russia we see no open fireplaces and
no singing kettles. Their system of heat
ing the house in winter is much different
and much superior to ours, po the Russians
use a tea urn with an internal Hue. In
this flue they put charcoal, and, when
lighted, the urn is placed outside the door
(the fumes are dangerous), and a stove
pipe is placed on the top of the flue to in
duce draught ; and Boon the water boils.
The am i 3 then placed on the table, and
the good lady puts into the teapot so much
tea as she thinks sufficient, fills the teapot
with boiling water, and then places the
teapot on the top of the internal flue, and
her mind is at rest.
If ■ friend pops in. either now or in one
hour's time, the hostess will at once pour
an inch of this rank poisonous liquid into
a glass "and fill up the glass with water
from the urn, and smile. The friend then
helps herself to a slice of lemon and four,
tive or six pieces of sugar.
I, as a boy, learned that Russia got the
best tea and made the best tea. After I
had been in various parts of Russia a few
times I began to think my school books
dealt in fables. With the exception of
seven weeks last autumn I have been in
Russia this last twelve months, and my
experience extends from St. Petersburg to
Ystrachan, and from Batoum to this des
ert and I say that Russia does not buy the
best tea.— Tit-Bits.

THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, TUESDAY, JULY 2, 1895.
A GHOST IN THE HOUSE
North Beach Residents Object
to a Chestnut-Street
Structure.
SOME MYSTERIOUS FIRES.
Said to Be Haunted by an Un
usually Fierce and Active
Spook.
Away over at North Beach, or, to be
more explicit, at the junction of Mont
gomery avenue and Chestnut street, within
two blocks of where the muddy bay surges
THE HOUSE THAT IS BELIEVED TO BE HAUNTED.
wash the shore, there is a ramshackle
frame building which for months has worn
a "Gee whizz, I'm so tired" expression
about it. It is a three-story structure, and
on account of its dingy and disreputable
appearance generally looms up in an other
wise well-built neighborhood like a black
berry pie stain upon a summer dude's
white picnic pajamas.
For months past it has been an eyesore
to the residents of the vicinity with its
great staring windows from which every
vestige of glass has long since disappeared,
thanks (or otherwise) to the industriously
inclined though vicious adolescent popu
lation of the vicinity, and its bare win
dows through which the energetic summer
winds play tag and emphasize their appre
ciation of the enjoyment by weird and un
canny revels in that way which winds have
when they are boisterously frolicsome.
But, the neighborhood put up with all
these things, and uttered no complaints
outside of their little gossipy circles, or
when holding confidential chats over their
back fences. They did not even wait upon
Mr. A. Paladini, the Italian fish merchant,
who owns the ramshackle building, and
endeavor to convince him that its days of
usefulness as a structure, even for hog-pen
purposes, was over; that, in fact, it was
time for the building to quit playing the
House of Usher act by "darkly nodding to
its fall," but to come to the dissolution
period without any further delay.
Now a change has come over the spirit
of the neighborhood's nightmare. The
fiat has gone forth that the old tenement
house must be removed, as it has passed
beyond the limit of reasonable offense. In
fact, the old building has gone completely
wrong by betraying tendencies of a fire
bug character, and close upon this taking
into partnership as a disturbing element
a vigorous and apparently up-to-date ghost
who has most pronounced and original
ideas in the haunting line.
Just how the old ruin fell into such evil
ways as to call for its speedy demolition
can only be surmised, but back-yard gos
sip ascribes it to many causes. The one
most believed is that the aforementioned
I adolescent community is in the^ main
responsible for it. When the last of the
eight Italian families who lived there
moved away seven or eight weeks ago and
left the place in loneliness and gloom, the
youngsters of both sexes and ages made it
their headquarters. They not only caused
an emigration epidemic to spread among
the rats which until then hud held a sec
ond mortgage upon the premises, but with
their mad capers and boisterous frolics had
racked the building from joint to joint, in
side and out, and allowed the wind free
access by breaking all the glass in fourteen
windows.
It was after this had been going on up to
two weeks ago that the building began to
come out in the firebug role. First a fire
j was discovered in the dismantled cellar.
I This was extinguished with a few buckets
of water by the neighbors. The next day
iianies were seen bursting out of the rear
kitchen. A still alarm was sent in, and
Mrs. Hansen and several other women,
who reside in the adjoining flats on Chest
nut street, fought the fire and succeeded in
putting it out. There were other fires thus
found, and so the neighborhood concluded
that the house was imbued with an inordi
nate tlesire to destroy itself by fire. As
there are many fine nouses immediately
adjoining the firebug structure, the agita
tion was begun with vigor to have the Fire
Department condemn the building.
Then the house changed its tactics.
There were no more fires, but three nights
ago strange noises were heard in the big
desolate rooms, and there were some who
said they saw flashes of light. In the
morning the neighborhood suffered from a
thrill of horror when the news went around
I that the place was haunted. From the
ritart the newcomer displayed a business
activity that was alarming. He only put
in about an hour each night in thumping
the walls and floors, and after that he car
ried out some of his original ideas. During
the night clothes lines were cut and any
holdover washing thereon would be trailed
in the dirt; then stones were thrown at
adjacent windows, and in several instances
the glass was broken. At other times
planks and timbers were thrown out of the
windows of the house of mysterj , fulling
upon the pavements with a crash. These
were only a few of the pranks attributed to
hie ghostsbip. The boya of the neighbor
boon used the place no longer as a ren
dezvous.
Since Sunday it is reported the ghost has
become more aggressive and queer tales of
his making sallies from the place were cur
rent yesterday. In these sallies he is re
ported to have given chase to belated pe
destrians who played the role of Tarn
O'Shanter with charming realistic effects.
One of these sorties was made last Sun
day night and the victim was John Rin
gen, who lives on Bay street, near Taylor.
He was returning home, according to his
own account, rather late in the evening
with a string of fish which he had caught
early in the day. When opposite the
haunted house, he declares, a white form
sprang out from the fence in front of
the premises, and just as his hair was be
ginning to rise he received a thump on the
back, and the string of fish was snatched
from his hand. In the morning when this
story became known some of the neighbors
asserted that they had detected a strong
smell of fried fish in the atmosphere earlier
in the morning.
John Sohl. who resides at the corner of
Bay and Taylor streets, was also reported
as having been chased a short distance by
the spiritual one, end that the latter had
tripped and fallen over the unnailed side
walk which Mr. Paladini has laid down in
front of his premises. Mr. Sohl, when
seen yesterday, however, said he was not
sure whether it was a ghost or some evilly
inclined footpad.
So the matter stands at the beach. Mr.
Paladini was also seen yesterday. He did
not bf lieve the ghost stories, but said that
there had been so many complaints about
the house that he had sold it for $20, and
that it would be torn down within a week.
In its place, Mr. Paladini said, he would
I erect some Hats.
THE POLICE PROMOTIONS
Four Sergeants Will Now Draw
the Increased Pay for
Lieutenants.
Nothing: Definite Will Be Known as
to Permanent Appointments
for Some Time.
From and after yesterday Sergeant Witt
man at the Central police station, Ser
geant Hanna at the Southern station,
Sergeant Helms at the Harbor and Ser
geant Esola at the old City Hall station
will draw the pay of a lieutenant, which is
an increase from f 125 to $140 per month.
These four have been performing the
duties of a lieutenant for some time, and
as the new order creating that office came
into effect yesterday they will reap the ad
vantage of the increased pay.
That docs not imply that they are per
manently appointed lieutenants, but
pimply that they will hold them until
other arrangements are made. The order
allows the appointment of five lieutenants,
but the fifth will not be required until the
formation of the new district.
The new order also allows for an increase
of three on the detective force, and Chief
Crowlcy announced yesterday that Cor
poral Handley and Officers Anthony and
Gibson, who have been doing detective
duty for years, will now draw the pay of a
detective, $125 per month. Their promo
tion is richly deserved, as each in his
special line has done splendid service to
the department.
The Chief said yesterday that it will
take nearly a month to reorganize the dis
tricts with the object of forming the new
district for the additional captain and lieu
tenant.
''In regard to promotions," said the
Chief, "I cannot do anything definite till
I know who the captains are to be. As
soon as that is known I will be in a posi
tion to name the lieutenants and the now
sergeants. Take the case of John Motlitt
in charge of the front office. He is per
forming the duties of a sergeant, but he
only holds the rauk of corporal. Now he
will rank as a sergeant and draw the in
creased pay from to-day. Drill Instructor
Marshal] is another instance. He is only
a corporal -now, but he should hold the
rank of sergeant, and after the reorganiza
tion he will, in all probability, be promoted.
But as I said before nothing definite can
be done till I am in a position to see how
many more patrol sergeants are needed
owing to the increase of seventy-five men.
That will not be known till the districts
arc reorganized.
"There will be eight mounted men and
it will require considerable study to locate
the districts for them to patrol. All these
thing? require time and thought."
The Chief declined to discuss the ques
tion of who will be the new captains. Cer
tain names had been mentioned, but fee
knew nothing about it. That was a matter
entirely in the hands of the Commis
sioners.
What proeress has been made by Cap
tains Douglass and Stone in their fight to
stay is a matter of conjecture. Captain
Stone denies that he w making any tight,
but it is generally believed that his friends
are actively engaged, whether he knows it
or not.
"I find the Royal Baking Powder supe
rior to all the others in every respect. It
is entirely free from all adulteration and
unwholesome impurity, and in baking it

THE JAPANESE QUESTION.
Senator George C. Perkins Has
No Hope of Protective
Legislation.
THE PRESIDENT IS BLAMED.
Eastern Legislators Consider Oppo
sition to Mongolians as Mere
Prejudice.
"There will be no National legislation to
protect the laborers of California against
the Japanese," said United States Senator
George C. Perkins yesterday. "The people
of the East seem unable to conceive of the
situation of the labor market in this State.
When we tell them that the increase of tho
number of Chinese and Japanese laborers
threatens the prosperity of the entire Pa
cific Coast they laugh at us, tell us that
we are 'wild' and that what we need is
contract labor.
"When the treaty recently made with
Japan wa&under consideration both Sen
ator Whit^[ and myself went before the
committee while it was in executive ses
sion. We protested against the measures of
the treaty. We told of the thousands of
unemployed whites and urged that the
Japanese were especially industrious, since
they were aggressive, intelligent and pro
gressive and willing to work more cheaply
than any white could and live.
"Our arguments were unheeded. I was
told that the present alien contract law
now in force afforded all the protection
necessary. Instead of trying to keep tbem
out the Japanese were actually invited by
Secretary Gresham and President Cleve
land. They seem to think it of no conse
quence that every Japanese put to work
displaced a white man, and this, too, at a
time when thousands are begging because
they can get no employ ment."
To change the laws regarding the immi
gration from Japan would necessitate a
change of the recently adopted treaty.
This; Senator Perkins was satisfied, would
not be made.
"We held the treaty with China back for
four months," he said, "but they passed it
in spite of us. In this treaty President
Cleveland let down the bars for as many
Chinese to enter as possible. Yet we need
all the arguments possible to stay such
action.
"If we failed in the caso of the Chinese,
it would be hopeless to attempt anything
in the case of the Japanese. The latter are
not personally so repulsive as the Chinese.
Besides, they imitate our ways and cloth
ing, are studious, and really attempt to
become a part of the country. You can
understand the difficulty of making a oeo-
Ele think the presence of the Japanese to
c harmful, when they are willing to ac
cept the Chinese who makes absolutely no
attempt to assimilate with the people
around him.
"It will be a long time before the people
of the East will believe the aversion of
Westerners to Chinese is any more than a
bit of unreasoning prejudice. They have
no idea of the condition of affairs here.
They will learn it some time and then
there may be some hope for relief."
SAN JOAQUIN VALLEY EOAD
Bids for , Track-Laying In Stockton
Called For— 3 and
Kails.
Chief Engineer Storey of the San Fran
cisco and San Joaqnin Valley Railroad
returned from Stockton yesterday. While
in that city he interviewed the Board of
Supervisors with a view of obtaining per
mission to place the company's track
above grade, so that it should be out of
danger from any possible overflow. A
result of these interviews waß the granting
of the permission asked for.
Yesterday afternoon Mr. Storey wrote
letters to Stockton contractors asking: for
bids for laying three miles of track through
the city of StocKton, and as soon as the
bids are opened, on the Bth inst., and the
contract awarded the work of track-laying
for the new road will commence.
Mr. Storey was in communication with
those who, m the interest of the road, are
looking after rights of way, and from the
reports made by them it appears that there
will not be anything in the way of obtain
ing the concessions asked for.
The first bargeload of ties for the new
road left yesterday afternoon for Stockton,
and the first cargo of rails will arrive here
this week. The ship on which they are
loaded is looked for by Friday.
The Separate Baptists have 1599 mem
bers and church property valued at |9200.
IT'S EASY
TO SELL
CHEAP
FURNITURE
And no doubt it's easier for most people
to buy than the good kind. But if it has
neither lasting nor "looking" qualities—
isn't it poor economy ? We don't, and
don't want to sell the "cheap" kind of fur-
niture—we know that kind will not make
either friends- or continued patrons of you.
Good furniture is never sold "cheap"— but
we have much good furniture, however, at
very moderate prices. If you'd look at it,
compare it and its cost with the "cheap"
kind, we're confident that you'll agree
with us.
