Newspaper Men in Convention
Ask a Favor From Eastern
Colleagues.
The California Press Association held its
annual convention yesterday in the large
jinks rooms of the Sail Francisco Press
Club. Among the delegates present were:
E. B. Willey of the Sacramento Record-
T-nion, A. B. Lenimon of tho Santa Rosa
Republican, General Sheehan of the Sacra
mento Record-Union, H. Z. Osborne of the
Los Angeles Herald, Thad J. McFarland
of the Folsoin Telegraph. S. M. Haskell of
the Pomona Progress, W. D. Pennycook
of the Vallejo Chronicle, L. H. Wood
worth of the Sutter County Farmer, C. F.
Montgomery of the Antioch Ledger, George
Francis of the Napa Register, Walter
Lyons of the Selnia Irrisrator, Sc ipio Grain
of the Redlands Citrograph, Raleigh Barcar
of the Vacaville Reporter, H. A. MoCraney,
at large.
The Kepublican League of Newspapers
and the Sacramento Valley Press League
were also represented.
A. B. Li-mnion of Santa Rosa, vice-pres
ident of the California Press Association,
presided in the absence of the president.
C. F. Montgomery, from Antioch, was sec
rotary.
C. M. Shortridge, San Jose Mercury;
George V. Weeks, Bakersiield Californisn;
E. B. Woodworth, Santa Monica Outlook;
W. A. Shepard, Auburn Herald, and E. B.
Thompson, Washington Press, were elected
members of tlio association.
6. M. Haskell of the Pomona Progress
nominated E. B. Willis, managing editor
Sacramento Record-Union, for president.
The name was received with applause.
"Mr. Willis is a man who has worked
his way op to the rank among the fore
most editors ol the State," added Mr.
Haskell. "I think, as we all do, he is a
man well qualilied tolill the position, and,
therefore, on behalf of Southern Califor
nia. I congratulate myself on this nomi
nation."
W. K. Ellis of the Livermore Herald
said he felt there should be a little more
enthusiasm in the convention, and while
hoping that the contest for the office of
president would be friendly, he would I

offer the narue of another good roan, one
well qualified to till the position and
withal a representative California editor —
E. iS. Pillsbury of the Tulare Register.
Mr. Piilsbury withdrew in a graceful
Bveech, explaining that he was too far
away from San Francisco, and he believed
the duties of the position called for a man
living near the City. The convention ac
cepted the situation, whereupon Editor
Willis was elected unanimously.
The newly elected president was escorted
to the platform by Editors Craig of the
Citrojrraph, Haskell of the Pomona
Progress and Francis of the Napa
Register, and after the welcoming
applause had subsided he thanked the
convention for the houor placed upon him.
Mr. Willis furthermore assured his col
leagues that he would endeavor to advance
the association as far as it lay in his
power,
Raleigh Barrar of the Vacaville Reporter
spoke in the highest terms of Editor Has
kell from Pomona and placed that enter
prising young editor in nomination for
vice-president.
J. A. "Wood side of Sacramento seconded
the nomination, and as a mark of favor
and regard for Southern California the con
vention made the election unanimous.
W. D. Pennycook of the Vallejo Chroni
cle and Charles F. Montgomery of the An
tioch Ledger were placed in nomination
for secretary.
Pennycook was elected, though honors
were pretty evenly shared by Montgomery.
T. W. .Sheehan oi the Sacramento Rec
ord-Union was nominated for treasurer
by ii. A. McCraney, but General Sheehan
withdrew on the ground that he had been
honored by the association, as had his
newspaper office, for a long time and quite
gracefully placed T. G. Daniels of the Ala
meda Argus in nomination.
George Oakes of the Haywards Journal
on behalf of the Alameda" delegation an
nounced that Mr. Daniels' nomination was
supported by all the delegates from Ala
meda County, and he asked that the eiec
tion be made by acclamation. Mr. Daniels
was elected.
H. Z. Osborn of the Los Angeles Ex
press, Raleigh Barcar of the Vacaville Re
porter, J. A. Filcher of the Placer Herald,
but now manager of the State Board of
Trade, G. M. Francis of the Napa Register,
Charles F. Montgomery of the Antioch
Ijedger, A. B. Lenunon of the Santa Rosa
Republican and Oeorsre F. Week* of the
liakersiield California were nominated as
m<Mi)ber3 of the executive committee.
While there was some opposition to J. A.
Filcher because he was not at present
actively enqagen in newspaper work, and
Editor Montgomery because his son was
editor ot the Antioch Ledger, the conven
tion elected the nominees through the for
mality of casting the ballot by the iecre
tary.
The nomination of delegates to the Na
tional Editorial Association convention
brought out a nice point, which showed in
a striking manner the unanimity of senti
ment among California newspaper men.
There was no sectional feelinc, no factional
spirit in the body of intelligent editors
because some lived "beyond the moun
tain.'' And this was nicely expressed by
Editor Lemmon of Santa Rosa.
"I don't believe," eaid he, "in Northern

California, in Central California or in
Southern California; with me it is Califor
nia. With us all it should be California,
and wa ahould and do stand for California.
And all our delegates are to represent Cal
ifornia."
This neat little address was greeted with
cordial applause, after which the nominat
ing: went on with a fraternal feelinjr. j. A.
Fiicher, W. C. Brown of tht Martinez
Gazette, E. S. Pillsbury of the Tulare Reg
ister, W. F. Pri.«k of the Grass Valley
Union and Duncan McPherson of the
Santa Cruz Sentinel were nominated and
elected unanimously.
Lemmon moved that the selection of
alternates and filling of vacancies in del
egates to the national association be re
ferred to the executiva committee. The
motion wai carried.
Mr. and Mrs. R. A. Marshall of .Log An
geles were placed on the roll as honorary
members.
H. Z. Osborne of the Los Angeles Ex
press read the following letters expressive
of the friendly sentiment of Southern Cali
fornia toward having the convention in
San Francisco:
v Riverside Daily Press, (
Rivermde, Cal, Oct. 23. )

Manager Post-Intelligencer.
T. G. Danielle submitted the following
i report of his committee :
Your committee, appointed to confer with i
the Union Leagu« Club committee, which was I
I organized to take action to secure the Repubil- I
can National Convention of 1890, to be held in
I Han Francisco, beg leave to report: Your com
' mitte« were made members of the Union League
j committee and have participated In their
meeting*.
The L n ion League Club opened a bureau of
correspondence and addfe«sed letters to all the
I members of the National Republican Oomrait
-1 tee, soliciting an expression of sentiment re-
I Ranting San Francisoo as the place of meeting.
Most ofthese responded, and of those who did
I respond nineteen wore construed as distinctly
I favorable to the City.
Your committee informed th« Union League
! committee of the action taken by the executive
committee Februarys, 1893, in recommending
all papers of the. association to use their col
umns to the best advantage possible to further
the sentiment in fave*\of San Francisco as a
meeting-place, which, bytes way, was the first
body to tako this inattefvn'p and advocate or
ganization.
Your committee also informed the Union
j League Club as to the very amicable relations
I existing between the California Press Associa
| tion and similar bodies in all the Eastern
States, growing out of the very successful
National convention of press associations held
In California in 1892, and that, because of that
I good feeling expressed, in their opinion tho
| California Press Association could be no incon
siderable factor in creating throughout the
Eart, by direct appeal and the dissemination
of literature, a sentiment in favor of San Fran
cisco as tho meeting point. The Union Laagua
committee acknowledged the force of this sug
gestion and expressed the hope that this a»«o
--ciation, at the regular meeting of October US
take such action as to them should seem to
accomplish tho object aimed at.
Your committee, therefore, while not going I
into minutert details, recommend to this asso
elation lh»t it cause to be prepared a circular !
letter to be distributed widely throughout the ;
I nited States, containing such argument !
! showing and appeal in favor of San Francisco '
j as a place of meeting for the National Repub
lican Committee in 1890 as niav be found ad
visable and desirable. We fe,i that a letter of
this character would serve as a powerful me
dium to create public sentiment in favor of
*?». F . ranci « tO . »n<i trust it will be undertaken
with due regard to the importance of the mat
ter concerned. *t. o. Damkixs
ALI.F.N B. LIMMO.T,

The consensus of opinion was that the
towns ot California were ready to help
San Francisco financially if necessary, and
tnatsofar as funds were concerned there
would be no shortcomings.
C. M. Coe, president of the Press Club of
San .brancisco, was presented to the asso
ciation. -which greeted nim very cordially.
He told the delegates that he was happy,
as was his club, to have the association in
the clubrooms. He invited the members
of the association to become members, and
many of the editors present stated that it
would be a wise proceeding for all country
editors to so unite in a central social or
ganization in San Francisco.
At this time the committee came in with
the resolution suggested oy W. H. Mills,
which was read and adopted, as follows:
To the ilembert of the National Editorial Asso
cidtinn throughout the United States: The Cali
fornia Pres* Association, the Southern Califor
nia Editorial Aisocintion and the delegation
of the press of Nevada and Arizona, seconded
by tho members of the press of Oregon, Wash
ingtou and Utah, in convention assembled at
San Francisco, hereby address the members of
t"he National Editorial Ai»ociation personally
and individually, recalling the receut date
when they were our guests, and earnestly
request and solicit each of you to urge upon
the members of th« Republican National
KxecutiTe Committee from your States to vote
in favor of holding the next National Republi
can Convention in tho City of San Francisco.
We authorize you, in the name of the people
of California, to pledge their broadest hospi
tality and their every endeavor to render the
session of the convention in San Francisco one
of rational pleasure and the highest good to
the people of our country. We nak you to pre
sent the matter to ynur committeeman with
such urgency and persistency as comports with
the sincerityand the guarantee of our hospi
tality, believing that the common good of all
the people is conserved by the assoniijlintj of
the National Convention upon the Western
Slope of the republic.
E. B. WHiTS, President,
W. P. PiKHTCOOKj Secretary,
California Press Association.
Osborne of Los Angeles moved that the
committee be instructed to send the resc
lutions to members of the National Repub
lican Committee throughout the country.
He remarked that San Francisco had nine
teen members of the committee, but there
were twenty-five against San Francisco, so
six were wanted to stand for the Pacific
Coast. Who these six committeemen were
he said was not known— the resolution
should be sent to all members of that
body. The motion met with unanimous
approval.
Lemmon of Santa Rosa moved that if
the Republican Convention conic to t^in
Francisco the association contribute $500
to the expenses. Thia motion was^ucst
heartily carried.
The thanks of the association was ex
tended to the Nevada Press Assbci ition.
The association adjourned sine die.
INVITING THE CONVENTION.
California League of Republican Newspapers
Take Action.
The California State League of Republi
can Newspapers met in the Press Club
rooms in the evening and re-elected the
full set of its officers as follows:
T. G. Daniels, president; Walter C.
Brown of the Martinez Gazette, secretary;
Duncan McPherson, treasurer.
The following executive committee was
chosen: H. A. McCrnncy, Scipio Craig,
Redlands Citrojraph: H. J. Pills bury,
Tularo Register; S. Cassiday, Petaluma
Argus; F. M. Kwasy, Redding Free Press;
A. B. Lemmon, Santa Ro?a Republican:
George F. Weeks, Bakersiield Caiifornian ;
G. D. Cumruings, Dunsrouir News; George
A. Cakes, Haywards Journal.
Mr. McCraney reported for the executive
committee that they had had great diffi
culty in getting in touch with the Repub
lican State Central Committee, that they
were never accorded the respect and defer
j ence due them as representing the League
I of Republican Newspapers, with a mem
bership of 72 journals.
H. A. McCraney presented the follow
ing resolutions, which were adopted and
ordered to be teleeraphed East.
The League of Republican Newspapers of
California appeal* to the party to arrange to
hold the next National Republican Convention
at San Francisco.
In doing this we call attention to the fact
that the interest! of this section of our com
mon country havo never received generous
consideration at the hand* of any political
party. The public n»en of the East do not seem
to underi tand our wants and needs. By com
ing here to attend a National convention the
Republican leaden will heroine better ac
quainted with this great section of our com
mon country, its resources, its requirements
and it* people, and this will lead to the promo
tion of a broader patriotism. Let the Repub
licans, first in every work in our land for more
than a third of a century, be first to come to
this Western land, calmly and judiciously to
plan for the best interests of the entire coun
try.j
in asking that this action be taken we call
attention to the fact that there are ample
transportation facilitiei for delegate* and oth
ers who may desire 10 come from all sections of
our country to San Francisco.
That there are plenty 01 hotel accommoda
tions in this City for even tvrice as many peo
ple as would attend such a convention.
That the necessary arrangements for the
holding of tile convention will be made by the
people here.
That the excursion trip to the Goldsn State
would be made at small expense and would be
the most delightful ever made anywhere by
the delegates to any political convention.
That the people o"t California, long famed as
the most generous entertainers, will spare no
p*in! to make the stay of -visitors here one of
both pleasure and profit.
That wider acquaintance wouia result from
Eiichatrip. In traveling across the continent
together delegate! irom the several States
would discuss the great principles of the party
and the special requirements of each section.
This would certainly lead to wiser and better
political action.
Believing the time has come when the
unity of tha party will be promoted, Us politi
cal methods improved and iti success assured
by tne holding 01 its National Convention on
this coast, vr« nrge such action. Let the Re
publican party be first to recognize tha fact
that there it a Pacific Coast and the people of
this great and growing country will remember
their obligation t« ta*l party. In behalf of
good politics, in behalf of higher patriotism
w« urge the holding of th# next National Re
publican ConTentiou atSau Francisco.
Committtes were appointed to draft res
olutions upon the death of Marcus D.
Boruck of the Spirit of the Times, a late
member of the executive committee. Also
udou the dtath of Lieutenant-Governor
Millard.
Resolutions of thanlrs were passed on
i behalf of the Press Club for the use of
their rooms and other courtesies and the
league adjourned.
At a meeting held subsequent H. A. Mc-
Craney was elected chairman of the execu
tive committee.
SKEPTICS PROSELYTED.

NOT EASILY INTERVIEWED.
A Clairvoyant Whose Success Has
Been Heralded by Conser
vative Journals.
The mystification of the New Yorkers by
Washington Irving Bishop, one of whoso
exploits was the driving blindfolded a
four-horse coach down crowded Broadway,
attracted no more attention than has
been given Professor F. Eugene, the clair
voyant, by the public and th^ press. He
has received thousands of favorable notices
from conservative newspapers. Few men
who have come to San Francisco, who
charge for being seen, have had the people
flock in as they have on him. A few days
ago the writer called at his offices, but
Professor P. Eugrene.
found him too busy to be interviewed; but
he said that, if a serious talk was wished, he
would be glad to receive a call at his offices
at 172S Market street, just north of Van
Ness avenue, any evening.
Accordingly he was called upon last
evening. Profe?sor Eugene is rather a
good-looking gentleman of mature age and
a frank, open expression of countenance.
He expressed great pleasure at being in
San Francisco, and said that it was not
only his endeavor to satisfy the people, but
the press, with regard to his peculiar gifts.
He scored his interviewer when asked if- he
guaranteed satisfaction, with the remark:
"Haven't you read my announcements
in your own paper? I never make any
charge for consultation in advance, which
is customary by mediums all over the
world, but 1 give them the information
they hnve come for, then I charge them for
it. Could anything be more honorable or
business-like?"
The professor was told that the fact that
prominent lawyers and capitalists had

been known to have visited his offices
duriug the week attached a great deal of
interest to his strange power, and its na
ture and name would be notable. He
replied:
"When I can command the respect of
dignified people, as you say I have, I must
have a dignified and' noblecalling."
"Have you undergone the scrutiny of
physicians?"
"My revelations^iave made me a familiar
figure before Eastern and European scien
tific men. Some claimed odic force, others
supernatural power, but most of them rec
ognized it as a phenomenal clairvoyant
power. All I know of my power is that
when any one presents himself at the door
of my om'ce I can read at a glance many
things of great value to him.
"No one lives to himself. Being and the
relations of being are inseparable. Of all
the mi!iions on earth each life is related to
others living and passed away. And hence
no one dies to himself. The spirit of every
person, young or old, rich or poor, toiler,
seaman, noiaier, artist, orator, scholar,
poet, scientist, ever lives and is dead to
nothing."
The professor all the while sat in his
easy-chair and spoke readily as one thor
oughly familiar with his subject and much
accustomed to being interviewed.
Professor Eugene is the most amiable
and the most tolerant of men, and yet he
bas blazed a wide path through the wood
iand of warring scientists in which the one
who seeks to succeed runs a risk not only
of losing the way, but of setting all the
other denizens of the forest against him.
OrdinariJy success implies that a person
has one ideal. It has been said, "Truth is
a wedge that makes its way only by being
struck." The remark is nine times out of
ten true. Professor Eugene's studio is full
of wedges, and a more impatient man
with his power would have used up all of
them long ago, after having hammered the
battered tops into a condition of splay dis
figurement. He likes to wait and let his
work bring its own recognition. He has
plowed deep in the subsoil of public opin
ion, but his work has been so generous and
so widely commented upon a? not to
arouse petty opposition. He has had many
mor3 demands to lecture than his consulta
tions would permit, for there is scarcely a
village on the Atlantic coast that has "not
heard of him. As he says, "Not all look
alike upon his work. To many the
painter's canvas is dull and the sculptor's
fine statue is dead. "
But if big numbers and great enthusiasm
is any measure of success Professor Eu
gene's success in this city has been of the
fullest measure and the source of much in
spiration, hope and ambition.
PLAYED GOOD BASEBALL.
The Fans Had an Opportunity
to Shout to Their Heart's
Content.
Yesterday's Game Between San
Francisco and Oakland a
Fine Contest.
Fully 1500 people witnessed the best game
of baseball yesterday that has been played
at Central Park since the league season
opened. The game was between the San
Francisco and Oakland teams. It was a
batile from start to finish, won by Oakland
by a series of timely hits in the second in
ning. Providence had a little to do with
it, but the hits were bunched and judici
ously placed with the result that Tredway
and Van Haltron sped across the plate be
fore the San Francisco men could rally
and retire their visitors at the field. It
was well for the suburbans too that they
BTEW TO-DAT.
Dress Goods.
The greatest astonishment, if you
are capable of judging values, is the
littleness of prices we have placed on
Drees Goods and Silks this season.
We have been looked upon as head-
quarters in all other lines. We now
will convince you that we are mas-
ters of the Dress Goods and Silk
stocks of this market.
Niggerheads, 50c.
These come in blacks and all street
shades. It's the most fashionable fabric
this fall. We will show you values un-
matchable for the price.
Niggerheads, $1.00.
These are the extra heavy changeable
Niggerheads in black and red, black
and brown, black and green, etc. Are as
great bargains at $1 as the first lot at 50c.
Black Dress Goods.
25c, 37^c, 50c to $1.50.
No one owns the black dress goods trade
in the face of such prices and values.
These are all fancy-figrured goods and more
worth to the yard than you've ever seen
sold for the prices. There are Mohairs,
Series, Cheviots, Cibelines, Niggerheads
and Crepons among them.
Silks, 50c, 65c, 75c, $1.00.
Fancy High-class Novelty Silks, would
bring more money under the auctioneer's
hammer; the raw silk is worth more;
they are low enough to use for linings.
Pocket- Books.
soc, 75c, $1.00.
All sterling silver mounted; worth more
for common, ordinary cloth and leather;
they are grand value; if you're going to
maEe a present for the holidays purchase
now.
Umbrellas.
$1.50, $2.00, $2.50.
Something very special; as handsome
as they can be made; the new tight-roll
walking-stick kind; these sales prove
profitable bargains for holiday presents.
scored when they did, for they were not
permitted to make another run during the
game. The San Franciscos scored only in
the first inning. Hulen was the first man
at bat, and he succeeded in making the cir
cuit of the diamond in safety, but from
that time on the home team could not
drag a man across' the plate.
The game was a thoroughly good one,
and served as the first reminder since the
Pacific Coast revival of the National game
began of the halcyon days of baseball.
The players seemed to have recovered
from a iong trance, so much different was
the work of every individual one in com
parison with what it had been. They
seemed to have arrived at a realizing sense
that if there was to be a revival of baseball
baseball must be played. The old lethargy
in the players' movements was all gone,
and in its place was a vim and vigor that
excited the interest of every spectator and
gave the crowd what it came to see, an ex
citing game of ball. i'rolonjred applause
after every worthy effort marked tne ap
preciation of the crowd.
The features of the game were the hard
hitting by both team? and the sharp, in
fact almost faultless rielding on both sides.
Wilson's catching also stood out as an in
dividual feature.

CUT WITH A KNIFE.
Percy Goldltona Attacked by Two Men
in the Koyal House.
Percy Goldstone, an employe of the
"Wasp, rooms at the Royal House, 126 Ellis
street. When he went home at an early
hour yesterday morning two men were
standing at the night clerk's desk. They
made insulting remarks to Goldstone, anil
one of them blew his breath in his face.
This angered Goldstone and he struck him.
The night clerk ordered the two men out
of the house, and as they were leaving one
of them made a slash at Goldstone with a
knife, cutting him on the left leg.
The night clerk blew his police whistle,
and the two men were arrested on Poweli
street. They were taken to the City
Prison, where they gave the names o't
Aaron Appel and John Sullivan, and said
they were both employed at the race
track. Apnel was booked for assault to
murder and Sullivan for "drunk." Gold
stone was taken to the Receiving Hospital,
where his wound was dressed by Dr. Fitz
gibbon.
NEW XO-DAT.
Wraps and Dresses.
Every merchant has some argu-
ment to advance for the immediate
sale of his wares. Some tell it
truthfully, others do not. Our tale
is soon told. We have too many
wraps and dresses. Next season
they won't be worth half what they
are to-day. We're selling some of
last season's Jackets for $3.50 that
cost us $12. It would have been
better policy to have sold them last
season at $12. That's our story.
Ladies' Tailor-Made Suits.
$3.50, $6, $8.50, $10.
These prices do not return us the cloth,
there is in them.
Ladies' Novelty Suits.
$15, $20, $25.
They are the latest imported novelties;
in some instances there is only one of a
kind, the imported sample to show the
prevailing style; they cost more than we
sell them at.
I Ladies' Jackets.
$5, $7.50, $10.
Every one tells you they have the be9t
values at these prices. We positively have,
for we make them and don't pay til©
manufacturers' proht.
Ladies' Jackets, $17.50.
This is a Tan Jacket with fancy strap
work on the back and down the sleeves,
new pockets, new sleeves, new ripple backs ;
downtown it can be duplicated for $10
more.
Overstocked on
Plush and Fur Capes.
Don't buy a wrap or a dress until you've
seen our stock, it's the lurgest in the City
and we are sacrificing it.
German Eiderdowns, 20c, 25c.
Fancy French Flannels, 50c.
It's surprising what homely patterns
and what high prices they get for these
goods downtown; the quality we ask 50c
for tney get 65c, and we've seen the same
ones in the same show-window every fall
these past four years. Five cents invested
in a car ride to "The Maze" will save you
many a dollar.
