ALONG THE WATER FRONT
Tale of Woe From the Whalers
Who Wintered In the
Arctic.
MANY PERISHED MISERABLY.
They Forsook Their Ships to Search
for Gold and Were Fatally
Frozen.
The whalers that wintered off Herschel
Island in the far north are all expected
back next November. They were the
Mary I). Hume, Newport, Jessie H. Free
man, Beluga, Thrasher, Grampus, John
and Winthrop, Navarch, William Baylies,
Wanderer, Triton, Kosario, Alexander,
Fearless and Northern Light.
The following letter from one of the offi
cers of the William Baylies tells of some
of the misfortunes that overtook the fleet
during the past winter. It was sent over
land from Hersi-hel Island, and took ex
actly two months to reach St. Michaels, in
Alaska. From that point it was forwarded
ONE OF THE WHALING FLEET IN IHE ICE OFF HEBSCEEL ISLAND.
[.Fjwn a photograph.]
to Port Townsend via Sitka and finally
reached San Francisco a couple of days
ago. It only half tells the story, and when
tho .fleet returns there will doubtless De
many a tale of suffering, and death.
Herschel Island,. Arctic Ocean, Sunday,
May 5, 1595. — Some Itgiliik Indians came in
the other day, and are now packing up their
toboggans to depart for their inland home. I
have just learned that (here is a possibility of
a letter reaching you by them, but as the in
formation comes late I write hurriedly.
I huve been quite well so far, but there have
been eight deaths among our little Jloet since
we reached here. Two of them were, sailors
from the Rosario, one a sailor from the Alex
ander (he was frozen to death), one a sailor
ironi the Triton, Chief Engineer Peake of the
Jessie H. Freeman and Captain Weeks of the
Thrasher. ■
Chief Engineer Peake died from heart dis
ease and Captain Weeks fell down the main
hatch at 5:15 p. *;. and died nn hour later.
This was on March 29. His body has beeu
pyeseryed for shipment home this summer.
Mrs. Weeks was completely prostrated and has
not yet recovered. She had a close call.
There have been three runaway expeditions.
The iirst consisted of three sailors. They were
gone three weeks and then returned of their
own accord, that is two of them did, the other,
belonging to the John and Winthrop. was
, frozen to death and hi» body was never recov
ered.
About six weeks ago three sailors str.rted out
to hunt Polar bears which have been occasion
ally seen about five or sir miles eway from the
ship. The men g.ot as far as the opposite side
of this island and one complaining of being
tired started to retrace his steps, a distance of
twelve miles. His two companions continued
theifcircumnavigation of the island, reaching
the ?hip about 7r. m. As their companion had
not returned search parties were sent out that
night and for two or three days thereafter, but
no tract? of himcould'be lound.
The second runaway expedition consisted of
five men. .One of them returned the next day,
but the others axe 150 miles from the ship in
a destitute condition. They cannot get back
to' the fleet for some time, as the rivers have
begun to run, and they cannot move until the
ice is aH gone. Then they will have to build
OaHoesoi rafts, as the running 'streams will
present insurmountable difficulties. They are
in a desperate 'fix and we cannot help them.
The third runaway expedition consisted of
two men only, and they started out two weeks
ago. They are now about 00 miles up the
Clarence Jiiver, and can get no further on ac
count of the breaking np of the ice in the
river: P.ut they can return to the ship if they
are so minded.
These runaways were not attempted because
of hardships or ill-treatment. Ail the sailors
that wintered here are well-clothed, abun
dantly fed and well-treated. Their living
quarter!: are well warmed, and the work they
have had to do in a week could all be done in a
day. The trouble is that they have all got an
idea into their heads that there are gold dig
gings within easy access of lierschel Island,
and all the advice of their officers cannot dis
pel their foolish notions. They think the
officers are telling them lies in order to keep
them from deserting. The gold-field is a chi
mera, but the sailors-; have the idea it exists, so
I suppose we will have more runaway exindi
tions, which will result in the deaths of sev
eral more.
I have been very well • • ♦ • • We have
an abundance of fresh deer, elk, moose and
mountain sheep; also some grouse * * • * •
In six months we ought to be near Frisco.
Thirteen months of our time have gone, but
it seemsto me that the next six will be longer
than all the others which have past put
together. We have had lots of amusement
and plenty of open-air exercise. We have sev
eral good football teams and every ship has
' its minstrel troupe. Now that the ice is break-
Ing up we are all expecting a big catch, as
whales are said to be plentiful.
The Arctic wild flowers that are shown
in the sketch were gathered and pressed
by the writer of the above letter.
The steamer Belgic arrived from Hong
kong; via Yokohama and Honolulu, yester
day. She was delayed at Honolulu a day
through having 650 passengers on board
for that port. The coolies are for the sugar
plantations, and their pay will be $12 50 a
month, out of which $4 is to be deducted
for their board and lodging. The Belgic
brought the following cabin passengers to
San Francisco: A. H. Butler, F. A. Cun
dill, T. F. Dunn, A. Krahn, W. Laid Jaw,

broucht sixty Chinese and fifteen Japanese
for this port.
Captain Walker of the Belpie reports
that the City of Peking lost a blade of her
propeller on the outward trip and was de
tained at Honolulu until the necessary re
pairs were made.
Ti F. Dunn, one of the passengers, is a
young San Francisco attorney, who has
been on a holiday tour of China and Japan.
All his news has been anticipated by wire.
A. S. Stone, one of the crew of the seal
ing schooner Sophie Sutherland, has been
arrested at Collinsville for taking seals
last year within the prescribed limits.
He will be tried in the United States
courts.
The brig J. D. Spreckles, from Honolulu
with a cargo of sugar, was detained for
over an hour at the quarantine grounds
owing to the tardiness of Dr. Chalmers.
The vessel was in tow of the tug Alert,
and as the BOgar was wanted at the re
finery the owners of the tug und brig were
indignant.
All the vessels in port are racing to get
their cargoes out and new ones in as
quickly as possible. The ship Sokoto has
the record so far. She has discharged and
taken in stiffening in eleven days and her
captain expects to load up and get away
inside of thirty days. In that time nearly
8000 tons of cargo will have been handled.
The steamer Olympia is taking in her
hard coal, and it is thought she will try to
make a record run to Honolulu. She has
almost her full complement of men and is
expected to sail next week.
A NIGHT AT THE CIRCUS
The Tiger Rode the Horse
and the Elephant
Waltzed.
Four Thousand People Applauded
the Great Three-Ring
Shows.
All classes attended the circus last night.
Church deacons, bank presidents, club
men, politicians, merchants, clerks,
dignified dames, leaders of society, as well
as the men and women who toil with their
hands, met on common footing under the
canvas and intently watched the show in
two rings and on an elevated platform.
The audience, nearly 4000 in number, got
there on time, and the performance began
at the appointed hour. Everything was
animated from the start and everybody
was good-natured. The elephant waltzed
and ran a race with the camels; the ticrer
rode the horse just the same as in Hagen
back's show; the monkeys rode the ponies
and little girls cut up all sorts of antics on
wheels. Everybody in the ring got
applause.
Features of the show were the spirited
horses, the back somersaults of the boy
rider, France Keed, the lofty ladder bal
ancing of the Nippon Japanese, the horse
manship of James McElroy, the riding of
Miss Harnetta Parsons, feats of lifting
strengtli by Rialto, the strong man who
lifted the platform, four men and a horse
with his teeth, iliue. Midnetta, the female
Sandow and iron-jawed wonder, sur
prised the ladies of the audience with her
exhibitions of jaw development. The
Martell family, five in number, did some
graceful turns on the bicycle and single
wheel. The lightning revolutions on the
double trapeze by Lorenze ana Lotta and
the aerial act by King and Devine were
watched and applauded.
There was sport in the hippodrome races
for monkeys and boys, horses and don
keys, hurdles, obstacles and sacks. All the
while the bands played and the venders
proclaimed their circus wares, and at in
tervals during the performance the man
agers praised the superb after concerts by
world-renowned artists of the song and
dance.
People went to the New Great Syndicate
Show and Paris Hippodrome Three-ring
Circus to be amused and see others
amused. There was joy in the heart of
Young America when the chief spokes
man announced that the show would re
main in San Francisco for nine days and
give a performance every evening.
POLITICAL REFORM.
A New Organization Started Upon
Kearny Street.
A number of young men organized a club
last evening at 410 Kearny street, and
called it the "Merchants' Political Reform
Club." J. H. Irvine, a well-known young
business man, was selected as the presid
ing officer. He explained the objects of
the club, and said to those in attendance
that it was the desire of the promoters of
the enterprise to endeavor to aid in the
purity of local politics. R. L. Hamilton
was then introduced, and spoke particu
larly of various reforms needed in munici
pal affairs.
Temporary officers were elected as fol
lows: President, J. H. Irvine; tirst vice
president, R. L. Hamilton; second vice-
S resident, D. J. Oliver ; third vice-president,
X'nry Snarp; financial secretary, J. B,
Pinkerton; recording secretary, M. F. Don
leavy; treasurer, William Peterson; ser
geant-at-arms, William Sullivan.
A I.anmii> 111:111 on Borax.
"I use borax in the laundry and no soda. I
use a quarter pound to a ten-gallon boil. The
clothes are much whiter, no yellow tint, no
fabric injured and only half the usual quantity
of soap used.
"Flannel and woolen goods last better than
when washed with any other article. Colors
are not affected.
"I steep lace twenty hours in a solution of
two ounces borax to one quart water, and ihe
dirt soakß out without scrubbing.
"Since using borax instead of soda, my hands
have not been affected as formerly. Borax will
not injure washermen's hands."
AN HOUR AT THE FAIR.
Some of the Features Which
Make Up the Interest
ing Show.
OTHER ITEMS OF INTEREST.
The Big Exhibition Is Thoroughly
Installed— Music and Attend
ance Good.
There is a great deal to be written about
at the Mechanics' Fair, for it is full of
novel and peculiar things, from the
bloomer gum-girls in front to the seven
legged duck in the rear gallery. It really
takes a day or two to see what there is and
is not on exhibition. It must be interesting,
for there is always a big crowd of people.
There are tall, dignilied men with hard
luck written all over them in dust and
wrinkles on an equal footing with million
aires and bank presidents. There are the
ever-present groups of young ladies and
their escorts, thinking, if at all, of a
happier time. One sees all these happy
features of the fair best between 8 and 10
o'clock in the evening. There are no pre
datory people at the Mechanics' Fair this
year, and a spirit of liberality pervades the
whole show. The gallery is the one great
promenade either day or night. When
Bcheel begins those threatening gestures
at the orchestra, points of observation are
at a premium. Down every aisle is tum
bling some fellow's baby. The women
grab up the lovely little things and the
fond father watches proudly as its young
one messes his pretty dress with its
moi'asses candy stained fingers.
It is the etiquette of the place to call
them '"sweet little things" when these
tots tear the boutonniere from your lapel
and leave the prints of their lingers on
your lavender trousers. The mothers are
there, but who would expect a mother to
look out after her children while the band
has its present gesticulating leader? All
this and some other thincrs teach us it is
not a good thing for a man to know too
much in this world.
One of the most notable exhibits in the
Pavilion is that of Kenney & Wells, near
the entrance. It comprises parquetry, in
laid floors and grillwork in wood. This
exhibition furnishes suggestions of designs
in inlaid floors which are the subject of
admiration of all visitors to the fair, and
illustrations of what many of our swell
homes boast.
Among thoae who have adopted designs
submitted by this firm, as seen by a circu
lar triven out by the attendant at the
booth, are such well-known names as F.
M. Smith, the borax king; Dr. Martin
Regensburger, John P. Young, Fred H.
Deakin, B. N. Rowley, William B. Wilt
shire, John Lee, Dr. George M. Ttrrill, A.
W. Porter. A. S. Baldwin, W. Goldstein,
William J. Dingee, George Whittell, Al
fred Sutro, George D. Metcalf, William G.
Henshaw, James P. Brown, Samuel B.
Morse and W. E. Hale.
At the present time much partiality is
being shown parquetry floors by archi
tects and people who give the sanitary
features consideration as well as artistic
matters. Everything seems to be in their
favor. There are no drawbacks, except
senseless customs. The time has come,
too, when no modern house is complete in
ornamentation without the use of grill
and fret work in connection with its in
terior decorations and hangings. This
work is used in arches, doorways, win
dows, alcoves, hallways, transoms, stair
cases, double parlors and to divide a parlor
or other rooms. Kenney & Wells manu
facture all this work in San Francisco, for
which there is a notable demand.
A feature of the fair is the location of
the stained glass exhibits at the east end
of the gallery. The examples of this
work are exceedingly fine. The display
which has elicited the most comment from
the press and presumably from the public
is that of Thomas Butterworth. The most
notable studies^in his extensive collection,
representing every class of stained glass
known in the art, are: The "Announce
ment to the Shepherds," "Music," "Long
fellow," "Art Wins the Heart," "Ecce
Homo," "Mater l)olorosa,"and two exquis
ite landscape scenes. The largest piece of
the exhibit is ihe "Announcement to the
Shepherds," representing the angel ap
pearine to the shepherds and announcing
the birth of Christ. The scene is at mid
night, and treated generally in the Gothic
style. The glass in constructing this win
dow is all antique and the delicacy by which
the light and shade is obtained in drap
eries, in architecture and landscape is truly
marvelous. The general ensemble of the
window is without doubt perfection. "Art
Wins the Heart" is a piece which has ap
peared before and received such favorable
criticisms that Mr. Butterworth deemed it
wise to place it on exhibition again. In
its construction no paint is used, the effect
of light and shade being obtained by the
aid of glass only.
The head of "Longfellow is treated in a
modern manner, and is considered a highly
artistic piece.
No exhibition at the fair more clearly
demonstrates than Mr. Butterworth 's, that
patrons of stained glass would be doing,the
greatest injustice to home industry and
themselves/ from every point of view, by
placing orders for this class of work else
where put at home.
The first exhibit to be installed, and one
of the few to be in shape when the fair
opened, was that of the Washburn & Moen
Manufacturing Company, near the en
trance to the Pavilion. It is a very strik
ing exhibit, and part of the one made
by this company at the World's Fair at
Chicago. It is designed to show wire rope
to advantage, and comprises wire rope and
cables, Waukegan and genuine Glidden
two and four point barbed wire, galvan
ized, coppered, tinned and annealed wires,
wire ropes and,, cables, bare and insulated
copper wire of all kinds for street railways,
electric light and power plants, music wire,
broom and mattress wire, bale ties and
springs of all kinds.
The Washburn & Moen cjpmpany a few
months ago purchased the California Wire
Works, which will continue to be operated
by them in conjunction with their factories
at Worcester, Mass, and Waukegan, 111.
This addition to their facilities gives the
company the largest plant in the world de
voted to the manufacture of wire, wire
ropes, cables and kindred lines.
This company has been engaged in the
manufacture of wire products for over
sixty-five years, during which time they
have maintained a world wide reputation
for the excellence and superiority of their
line of manufactures, and with their im
proved processes and unequaied facilities
they are the leading company in their line
in the world.
As the Washburn & Moen Manufactur
ing Company is thoroughly identified with
the industries of the Pacific Coast, in hav
ing a factory established and in operation
here, as well as warehouses and repre
sentatives at the various points of im
portance on the coast, dealers will find it
to their advantage, in the long run, to
favor this firm with their patronage, since
they can furnish goods more promptly
than any other factory, while the quality
of their products is superior, and their
prices and terms as favorable, all things
considered, as can be made by any other
reliable manufacturer in the United States.
The San Francisco office is at 8 and 10
Pine street, and their factories at Bay and
Powell streets.
Every one, even the lone bachelor, shows
an interest in "The New California" range
on exhibition by Steiger & Kerr. Some of
the women who have examined it say
there are many reasons why it should
assume leading rank among the various
kinds of stoves. This is saying a good
deal for homo manufacture.
An item of interest in this connection is
that the New California is sold at as rea
sonable prices as those of foreign produc
tion.
No bonus was asked as a subsidy to es
tablish this stove-making plant; no gift of
land; no exemption from taxation; no
favors, except impartial consideration by a
community that has repeatedly proclaimed
its loyalty'to home industries. This is one
of such that employs a big force of men,
who rent or have bought homes in San
Francisco, and who spend their money
here, and whose families help support our
schools and churches. It is not digressing
too much from the proper strain of a fair
article to ask the public to give an impar
tial thought to an industry that was
launched at a time when factories were
closing doors and capital was timid. The
courage of the promoters deserves this,
and what's more, deserves the patronage
of all patriotic Californians.
The collection of exhibits comprises no
more representative display of home man
ufactured goods than that of the Siebe-
Glanville Shoe Company. The goods
shown are a fair representation of the class
of shoewear turned out every day by this
big factory. Thi3 is a home industry of
considerable magnitude, employing at least
3<J<D San Francisco men and women, who
spend their wages here at home. It is
owing to such industries to show them the
preference when their goods give equal
satisfaction with those of competing fac
tories. The best evidence that this par
ticular shoe factory has prospered is that
it has experienced a constant growth since
its establishment in 1880. It is situated at
21 to 31 Jessie street.
The Siebe-Gianville Shoe Company, ac
cording to their exhibit, make a specialty
of the medium and the finest quality of
Jadies', misses' and children's shoes, also
satin slippers, and rank first on this coast
as the originators of styles. As they op
erate their own factory this they are en
abled to do, and the superior quality of
their shoes is certainly appreciated, for
they are sold by nearly all the largest shoe
merchants on the coast.
This iirm owns several celebrated patents
in the manufacture of shoes, such as the
patent "back-strap and the "flexible inner
sole." These advantages are well worth
knowing, as they insure good solid wear.
The exhibit certainly does credit to the
company and the shoe industry of San
Francisco.
A HALF-INTEREST DEAL
Mrs. Martha Gottschang Has a
Penchant for Selling
Her Saloon.
She Mixed Matrimony and Business
With Carl Vogt, Who Has
Her Arrested.
Mrs. Martha Gottschang, saloon-keeper,
was arrested yesterday by Detectives Dil
lon and Crockett on the charge of obtain
ing money by false pretenses, and John
Faulhammer, a butcher, was also arrested
on the charge of grand larceny.
Mrs. Gottschang has, apparently, a pen
chant for selling a half-interest in her
saloon to any person who comes under
her wiles. When she had a saloon at 112
Geary street she sold the half-interest to
two or three people, but escaped punish
ment by compromising with them.
After leaving the Geary-street saloon she
opened out at 309 Third street under the
name of Mrs. Erwood. She advertised for
a partner and Carl Vogt called upon her
on Wednesday. She toid him she was an
unmarried woman and was anxious to get
not only a partner in her business but a
partner in her joys and sorrows. The bait
took and Vogt pai 4 her $250 for a half
interest in the business and a prospect of
getting the other half by marrying his
partner.
There was only a barrel of whisky in the
saloon, but Mrs. Gottschang told Vogt she
had ordered supplies of all sorts of liquor.
When Vogt went to the saloon the follow
ing day he found that the barrel of whisky
had disappeared and an empty barrel had
been put in its place. There was nothing
in the saloon, and he came to the conclu
sion he had been swindled, so he notified
the police.
Detectives Dillon and Crockett found
that Faulhammer had taken the barrel of
whisky to his shop on Mason and Union
streets on Wednesday, after Vogt had
left the saloon, and it was recovered.
When searched at the City Prison Faul
hammer bad $105 of the money paid by
Vogt in his pockets, which he said he
had received from Mrs. Gottschang, and
she had $33 in her pocket.
Mrs. Gottschang is a married woman,
and her husband is in Hartford, Conn.
She left him after three months of mar
ried life and came to this City. Faul
hammer was the only friend she knew
here. She is a smart woman, but the
police say they have a sure case against
her this time.
ME. McMURTRY'S FUNERAL.
It Took Place at the American Church
in Farig — The Remains to Be
Brought Home.
Immediately after the receipt of the
cablegram from the American Consul in
Paris announcing the death of \V. S. Mc-
Murtry- of this City in tbat place Mr.
Flournoy, his brother-in-law, cabled an
intimate friend in London, W. 0. Cole,
asking him to go at once to Paris and take
charge of the remains of Mr. McMurtry
and arrange for their dispatch to this City.
Mr. Flournoy yesterday received a cable
of considerable length from Paris, stating
that the funeral was held yesterday in the
American Church, but that the remains
had been deposited there until the sailing
of the next steamer from Havre, which is
set for August 24. The cablegram also
stated that Mr. McMurtry's effects had
been turned over to the American Express
Company for shipment to this City.
The remains will in all probability reach
here about September 8, and the final fu
neral ceremonies will be held in this City.
THE BUILDING APPROVED
Congratulations for Claus
Spreckels and for "The
Call's" New Home.
BEAUTY, STRENGTH, PROGRESS.
Inspired by the Design an Architect
Projects His Fancy Into the
Future.
The announcement that a new home for
The Call would soon adorn Market street
in this City has elicited a deluge of con
gratulations from all quarters. Friends'
are hastening to commend the beauty and
strength of the proposed fifteen-story
marble structure and to express apprecia
tion of the enterprise of Claus Spreckels in
its design.
The cordiality of the many correspond
ents seems to have been variously ac
centuated by individual tastes. While
one indites a friendly eulogy of the archi
tectural qualities indicated by the plan,
others expatiate on the point of the ex
clusive employment of California ma
terial and the encouragement thus given
to local industry. Many citizens appear
particularly appreciative of the additional
dignity which the stately pile will impart
to the main thoroughfare of the leading
City on the Paciric Coast.
The massive proportions of the proposed
building have also Jcindled the imagina
tion of experts, and suggested visions of
the "coming structure," or the many
storied building of the future. Among
speculations on this head may be given
the following letter:
Editor Call: You are to be congratulated, and
are by us, and have good reason to feel proud of
your* new home that is to be, which, when
completed, will be San Francisco's best, and
will stand for many generations as a monu
ment to the public-spiritedness of Claus
Spreckels, who, more than any other one
wealthy man In this city of the present, has
"practicalized" his convictions as to the future
of the metropolis of California, botn in grand
buildings and railroad enterprises. It will also
be a perpetual evidence of Messrs. Reid Bros.'
splendid architectural abilities.
Its great altitude also leads to the thought
whether the extreme of height of buildings in
San Francisco will be reached in its construc
tion. It may have its peers in number of
stories in other cities, but not in its magnifi
cence, so far as informed by personal travel
and observation through the JSasteru States or
any printed illustrations are concerned.
The evolutions have brought to the front
tens of thousands of great things. Why not
yet more in building? Rejection and repudia
tion is more the evidence of mind limitations
than proof of impossibilities.
That twofold greater strength than yet at
tained and practiced in tall buildings is clearly
in sight; to minimize vibrations is a certainty,
provided the earth-space covered is rock or
other formation sufficient to carry the load im
posed. San Francisco sandbeds are good.
Present developments and results overshadow
ail former— will not the coming generations, if
not some of the cresent, climb to still greater
heights and produce buildings of altitude we
dare not name ? James E. Wolfe, Architect.
Her Cargo Shifted.
The British ship Dominion arrived last even
ing seventy-seven days from Newcastle, N. S.
W.| with a cargo of 3795 tons of coal. Captain
Meredith reported that on the day following
his departure, June 1, he ran into a gale that
gave his ship a lively time for awhile. The
seas ran so high that the decks were full of
water to the rails part of the time, which
caused the cargo to shift first to port and after
ward to starboard. After crossing the equator
pleasant weather was had up to the arrival in
port. On the 13th inst. James Daniels, sea
man, died of dropsy. He was a native of Wales.
49 years of age.
