sons therefore are: First, to prevent the
influence of the State Grange being used to
promote measures of which it might ap
prove; second, to prevent the desire of
victory in discussions from obstiucting the
impartial search for truth.
The committees have been established
and are as follows:
Edward F. Adams, Wrights, Highland
Grange; George W. Worthen, Willow Glen,
San Jose Grange ; C. W. Childs, San Jose, San
Jose Grange; ex-oflicio, W. W. Greer, Sacra

TABLEAUX AND SONG.
Charming Entertainment Given iast

The large parlors were tastefully deco
rated, and one of the parlors was arranged
to serve as a stage, on which red and white
lights were thrown with fine effect. The

young ladies under the direction of Miss
Minnie Hartley, their teacher in Delsarte

The singing of Mrs. Wood was a sur
prise, even to her friends. She was in ex
cellent voice, and her dramatic soprauo
brought out wonderfully the feeling in the
song.
At the end of the entertainment re
freshments were served.
GROEZINGER'S CAUSE LOST
Judge Seawell Decides That He
Has No Ground for
Action.
The County Govern msnt Act's Pro
vision for a Four-Year Term
Does Not Hold.
Judge Seawell yesterday gave judgment
for the defendant in the case of Justice of
the Peace G. C. Groezinger vs. Adolph
Sutro, the Board of Election Commis
sioners and Registrar Hinton.
Groezinger began suit against the de
fendants named, praying that they be
perpetually enjoined and restrained from
appropriating moneys from the funds of
the City and County of San Francisco for
the purpose of procuring and holding an
election in November, 1596, to till tbe
offices of Justices of the Peace : and that
they be restrained from executing the pro
visions of a resolution providing for the
holiinp of such election during the pend
ency of the action, an<! for such other and
further relief as might be found meet and
equitable, and for costs of suit.
The basis of the action was the county
government act of 1893, which provides
that county officials elected in 1894 shall
hold office for four years.
The defense, through its attorney, Gar
ret McEnerney, entered a demurrer
alleging that there was not sufficient
ground for action in the complaint.
Judge Seawel! sustained the demurrer
and gave judgment for the defendants.
CAMPAIGN WORK.
Frank McLaaghlin Looking for Kooins.
The Republican County Committee's
Increase of Membership.
Major Frank McLaughlin, M. &. Hig
gins, Cornelius O'Connor and other mem
bers of the executive committee of the Ke
publican State Committee have been look
ing around during the past few days for
rooms to be used as headquarters during
toe campaign. Desirable apartments c;in
be obtained in the Emporium or the Flood
building. The chairman of the commit
tee, Major McLaughlin, does not fancy the
idea of using his rooms at the Palace Hotel
for political headquarters.
Among local politicians of the Republi
can party the action of the County Com
mittee in resolving to add to that body
one more member from each Assembly
District has caused much comment of a
favorable kind. Nearly all the party
workers acKnowledge that a committee of
eighteen — one from each district — is too
small to do the work required.
Mr. Man waring, chairman of the
County Committee, received many recom
mendations yesterday in behalf of candi
dates for the position of committeemen.
A majority of the recommendations came
from sources outside of the committee.
The chairman said last evening:
"It is probable that the appointments
will not be made before the regular meet
ing in July. Something may arise de
manding action before the expiration of
thirty days, but there will be no haste
made in the Betection. I intend to con
sider thoroughly all the recommendations
presented. Among the men already men
tioned are many capable and well-known
Republicans who would be able to perform
excellent service in their respective dis
tricts."
"the increase of the committee," re
marked Mr. Manwaring, "is regarded
generally as a necessity. In fact I do not
hear of any objection. All recognize that
the districts are large and that much work
should be done.

tents were totally destroyed. The loss on the
building and furniture will not fall short of
$1500.

THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SATURDAY, JUNE 13, 1896.
ONE OF THE OLDEST
REPUBLICAN CLUBS
The "Howard" Points With
Pride to Its Past Repub
lican Record.
CREATION OF CRIMMINS.
The Young Men of the Tenth
Ward Have Revolutionized
the Democratic Party.
MANLY AND INDEPENDENT.
Has Never Sought Financial As
sistance From the Party
Leaders.
The oldest and best-known Republican
club in San Francisco is the "Howard."
THE EXECUTIVE OFFICERS OF HOWARD REPUBLICAN
CLUB FOR 1896.
Prior to 1880— the date of the birth of this
clvb — there was no such thing known to
the politicians as a Republican club south
of Market street.
The Tenth Ward was absolutely claimed
byHhe Democrats, and this claim remained
undisputed to such an eitent that in the
early political history of San Francisco,
when Supervisors were elected exclusively
by wards, there was no such thing to be
expected as that the Tenth Ward would
return anything but an out-and-out, dyed
in-the-hair Democrat.
This being the condition of affairs in that
fertile valley, there were no inducements
to start Republican clubs or even think of
rallvint; the few lonely residents belonging
to the minority together on the eve of a
campaign, and in the majority of cases at
an election other than a Presidential the
few solitary voters whose political faith
had been pinned to the policy of Abraham I
Lincoln remained at home and permitted I
their neighbors to conduct the election as
good Democrats generally do by rolling in
as large a majority for their candidate as
would insure his election beyond a perad
venture.
With the nomination of James A. Gar
field in 1880 a change came over the polit
ical horizon of the Tenth Ward. At that
time the young Native Sons begun to show
their strength as a political factor in the
ranks of both parties and, unlike their
predecessors, they thought for themselves
and voted as they thought without wait
ine to be told for whom to vote. Among
those young men at that time was one who
had convinced his young associates that
he knew a thing or two about politics him
self. His advice and counsel was sought
to that degree that he soon became a pro
vincial leader in the Tenth Ward. This
young man was none other than Philip J.
Crimmins, who since that period has be
come so well known by the politicians, not
only of this City but of the whole State,
as a young man who has shown his ability
to become a local leader of his party, and,
to-day, while not an actual leader, his ad
vice and counsel have been sought by the
foremost men at the head of the political
party in this City.
From the brain of this same Phil Crim
mins emanated the Howard (Jlub, and to
his judgment and generalship must be at
tributed whatever laurels the club has
won and fastened upon its banner, as bat
tle victories are in reality the individual
victories of the founder of the Howard
Club.
In 1879 Phil Crimmins, B. F. Dougherty,
\>. T. Sesnon, D. J. Crowley, James Cun
ningham, 'lhomas F.Donahue, John E.
Green, Thomas Flynn, Judee J. C. B.
Hebbard, 11. E. Hall, J. P. Rice. Robert
Williams, Fred Frey— all of whom have
continued their membership right through
with the club— and about a dozen other
young men whose residences were in the
Tenth Ward, joined together and formed
the Howard Club, which they had incor
porated, first as a social organization, in
which the daily papers and other litera
ture were subscribed for and the club
roomn made social and conventional to its
members.
This continued until the following year,
when the Republican convention nomina
ted Gartield. Then the social feature,
while continuing, had added politics to its
usefulness, and irom that day to thia the
influence of the Howard Club has been
courted by every Republican nominee
wlio hoped to win out in the race for
municipal office.
The headquarters of the club was located
on the southwest corner of Third and
Howard streets for fourteen years, and
until about two years ago, a Democratic
office-holder, with an eye to business,
leased the corner where the club held forth
and put his brother in as a tenant to sell
Democratic whisky to such patrons as
were able to pay for the same.
This Democratic interference with the
boys of the Howard Club was not their
tirst experience, however, as attempt after
attempt had been made to stuff the club
roll with Democratic names for the pur
pose of pros«lytinc the members and
swinging the club over on the eve of a
campaign contest. This defection, had it
been accomplished, would as a matter of
course tend to weaken the influence of the
Republicans throughout the City. But all
those attempts failed. Crimmin3 and his
first lieutenant, B. J. Dougherty, circum
vented every attack and kept the club
within the Republican fold.
This last deal had the effect, However, of
driving the Howards to more congenial
quarters, and since that time their meet
ings have been held in Pythian Castle on
Market street. But this fenancy will only
be temporary, as the officers of the club
are now looking for suitable quarters into
which they will move and from which
some good active political work for the
campaign of 1896 may be expected.
The first president of the club was James
Cunningham, in 1880. Following in the
order of their names are those who pre
sided over the destiny of the Howard
since that time: Thomas F. Donahue,
Thomas C. Tully, Frank W. Covey, Judae
Frank Gray and the present presiding
officer, Christopher E. Newman, with the
following executive officers, who now have
charge of the welfare of the club: First
vice-president, Fred Frey; second vice
president, E. H. Lutgens; third vice-pres
ident, Thomas Mc.Dermott; recording sec
retary, Thomas Graham; financial secre
tary," D. J. Crowley; treasurer, Fred
Egßers.
The executive committee, which does
the real work of the club, is composed of
the following members: Chairman, Phil
J. Crimmins; W. J. Blatner, B. J. Dough
erty, George Bryant, T. W. Fiemming,
T. J. Fellows, F.Coryn and John Grief.
The Howard boys'are in it for the pres
ent campaign, and will no doubt Eive a
good account of the club, with its 200 act
ive, energetic young men, all well versed
in the science of politics and campaign
strategy. The Republican standard-bearer,
as well as those who will be nominated for
legislative and municipal honors, may be
assured of the support of the entire club.
The present membership does not exceed
200, but this, small as it may appear when
compared with other Republican clubs
having a thousand or more members en
rolled, does not lessen the power or influ
ence of this club, from the fact that those
200 trained men can and have knocked
four times their number hors de combat
on a political issue. This is in conse
quence of the excellent training and gen
eralship of their leader, who never with
draws his outside sentinel until the last
ballot has been put on the string and the
returns safely locked in the City's vault.
The financial side of the Howards is
always attended to by its own members,
and never in its history has it asked for or
received one dollar from any candidate or
from the State, Central or County Com
mittee to tide over a financial chasm, but
generously pays its own way and with be
coming dignity holds its head high in the
air with loity pride, looking upon its past
history and usefulness to principles of the
party to which it is pledged and which
it has contributed to retain in power and
control of the National, State and City
governments.
INJURED BY A CABLE-CAR.
Charles J. Miller Run Down on Jones
Street Last Night.
Charles J. Miller, who is employed in an
undertaking establishment at 957 Mission
street, was badly injured late last night by a
Jones-street cable-car on Golden Gate avenue.
The accident was witnessed by John M.
Newbert, who was on one of the cars. He said
that Miller was on the southbound car. When
the car reached the north side of the avenue
Miller stepped off the car and did not heed the
approach of the northbound car on the other
track.
In a second the car had knocked him down.
In an instant the gripman had the car at a
standstill, anil Miller was only rolled over
once by the fender, so quickly did the brakes
operate. However, he was held firm by the
fender and one wheel, which was on his right
hand. Newbert and several others raised the
j car and ran it back a short distance, but. as
I they were removing the injured man the car
was started lorward again, being on a down
grade. The next time trie wheels were locked
and Miller was removed.
Tne injured man remained on the sidewalk
forty minutes waiting for the police patrol
wngon to arrive from the North End police
station. The City Hail wagon was away on
another mission. When taken to the hospital
it was found that Miller's left leg was broken
in two places, his right hand was badly cut
and his scalp lacerated in several places. The
shock to his system was also very severe.
Whether or not he sustained internal injuries
I could not be learned unil later.
A DOCTOR'S VICTIM
Mr«. Catherine Jakooleff Accuses Dr.
S. P. Hall of Malpractice.
Mrs. Catherine Jakooleff, a seamstress, who
I lives at 229>£ Sixth street, was sent to the Re
! ceiving Hospital last evening suffering trom
the effects of malpractice on the part of a
physician. The woman's husband left her a
month ago and went back to his home in lius
| si a. Since then Mrs. Jakooleff has been work
ing for a tailor named Simonoff, who has a
shop on Golden Gate avenue, near Market
street.
Yesterday afternoon the woman did not
work, but called upon friends on Hoard man
I place, off Golden Gate avenue. While there
| she became very ill, and her friends sent for
i Dr. Gruening on Larkin street.
The doctor did not take long to ascertain the
cause of the trouble and he sent at once to the
Receiving Hospital for the ambulance.
Dr. Fitzgibbou did all in his power to alle
i viate the woman's sufferings, and a little later
i he s?nt her to the City and County Hospital.
Before leaving she told Dr. Fitzgibbon that a
week ago she vfstted Dr. S. P. Hall, on McAl
lister street, and she gave. him $20 for a treat
ment which has since caused her much misery.
Dr. Fitzgibbon states that unless peritoniles
sets in the woman will probably recover.

Fair Case Set for Trial
The Fair will case has been set tor August 1,
peremptorily.
CLAIMS HEWLETT
WAS HER FATHER
Mrs. Offutt of Sonoma
County Would Break
the Will.
SCORNS FIVE HUNDRED.
She Begins Suit to Get Her
Share of a $150,000 '
Fortune.
A SECOND FLORENCE BLYTHE.
Known Before Her Marriage as the
Adopted Daughter of L. W.
Walker of Marin County.
laabelle H. Offutt, through her attorney,
Hepburn Wilkins, yesterday petitioned
the Superior Court for a revocation of the
probate of the will of P. B. Hewlett. The
petitioner claims that she is the daughter
of P. B. Hewlett and that at the time he
made his will he was not of sound mind.
Mrs. Offutt is a young woman about 25
or 27 years of age and was before her mar
riage known as Belle Walker, the adopted
daughter of L. W. Walker of Marin
County. Since her iuarriage, however,
she has lived with her husband on their
ranch close to the Sonoma-Marin county
line &nd near the town of Petaluma.
She now, by her own legal declaration,
appears in much the same light as did
Florence Blythe when she contested the
Blytne estate as a daughter of the de
ceased capitalist.
Hepburn Wilkins, the claimant's attor
ney, declared yesterday that the late P. B.
Hewlett had adopted his present client as
his daughter and had always treated her
as such. It is principally on this ground
that the suit will be prosecuted.
The whole estate is valued at about $150,
-000, including certain deeds of nearly
?luo,ooo, made to two of Hewlett's sons.
Mrs. Offutt will attempt to have these
deeds set aside.
The case will not come to trial for at
least two months, owing to the court re
cess, and it may in the meantime be set
tled by compromise, as Mrs. Offutt's at
torney will endeavor to have the matter
decided without the publicity of & court
trial.
P. B. Hewlett, a widower, 76 years of
age, residing at 30 Rincon place, died
January 1, 1896. He left a will dated
August 8, 1892, with codicils added in
1893, naming George K. Porter, Frederick
Hewlett, J. D. Wilson and E. T. Hewlett
as executors. His estate was appraised at
; $52,620.
Mr. Hewlett's family consisted of three
sons,. Edmund P. Hewlett, aged 51 years;
George Hewlett, aged 17, and Palmer
Hewlett, aged 10. He had been twice
married, the minor children being the off
spring of his second wife.
In disposing of his property P. B. Hew
lett bequeathed the real estate at 30 Rincon
place to his eldest son, E. P. Hewlett, and
then went on to say : • ;^ r - <: :';-.i; ," . ■
"Second: I give and bequeath to her that
j was Bell Walker, before her marriage Bell
! Walker is the adopted daughter of L. W.
! Walker of Marin County, California the sum
of $500 for her sole use and benefit forever to
be paid from the first funds available from my
| estate."
Otner legatee? for small sums are Mrs.
Carrie Simon, 40 years ot ace; Mrs. Nettie
Renwick, 19, and Mrs. Carrie Simons.
The remainder of the estate was to be
divided Between the younger children, of
whom George Laworin of Petaluma was
appointed guardian.
In the final paragraph of the will it is
provided that any heir who may contest
the will snail forfeit his legacy.

HER HEART FAILED
Death Was Knocking at Mrs.
Allen's Door.
Relief Came From an Unexpected
Source and She Safely Paused the
Terrible Ordeal— She Tells Her
Kxperience to the Editor
of the Democrat.
From the Democrat, Mt. Vernon, Ind.
When oue of the most highly respected resi
dents of a community is known to be a suf
ferer from any disease, and is suddenly cured,
ft is but natural that the commuuity should
take great interest in the case.
Mrs. M. A. Allen, the wire of Mr. Charles M.
Allen of Mount Vernon, Ind., has long been
known to the Inhabitants of our beautiful
little city to be a sufferer with severe and re
lentless heart trouble, and when It was re
ported around the city that she had been
cured of her trouble the editor of the Demo
crat, who was overjoyed to near of It, took it
upon himself to investigate the case and find
out what Cftused her cure.
Upon calling at the cozy little home of the
Aliens the editor was welcomed in by the cour
teous lady, and, after they were comfortably
seated, the editor explainea his mission and
received from Mrs. Allen the story of her suf
fering and wonderful recovery. Sne was in
the best of spirits, as one would natnrallv be
expected to be after recovering from a long
and severe illness. She stated that her name
had never been in the newspapers before, and
she didn't much like the idea, but in case of
this kind she would relent in order to en
lighten suffering humanity.
She stated that nhe was 55 years of age and
hal suffered from palpitation of the heart and
nervousness for years and thought death was
at hand. She tried many remedies, but could
find no relief. Sleepless nights and nervous
ness at. all times was beginning to tell upon
her. She read of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills in
the Mount Vernon papers and their wonderful j
cures. She did not put much stock in them, '
but finally concluded to try them.
Her own words are: "The first two boxes did j
me so much good that I thought that I would
not have to use them any more. I stopped
using them, but suffered a relapse, however,
and commenced usius them again. Since then
I have never had a bad spell, while before I would
faint, and was unfit for work and home duties.
Now I feel stronger and better than I have for
years. "
She looks upon Dr. Williams' Pink Pills as a
godsend, and says she is free to say that they
are an excellent remedy for heart trouble and
nervousness.
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills contain, in a con
densed form, all the elements necessary to give
new life and richness to the blood and restore
shattered nerves. They are also a specific for
troubles peculiar to females, such as suppres
sions, irregularities and all forms of weakness.
They build up the blood and restore the glow
of health to pale and sallow cheeks. In men
they effect a radical cure in all cases arising
from mental worry, overwork or excesses 01
whntever nature. Pink Pills are sold in boxes
(never in loose bulk) at 50 cents a box or six
boxes for $2 50, and may be had of all drug
gists, or direct by mail from Dr. Williams'
Medicine Company. Scheuectady, N. Y.

This Lucky Number Proves to
Be the Mascot of Thou-
sands.
Why It Is So— What Has Been Ac-
complished in Connection
With 737*
You may reject all belief in omens.as they
are often founded upon superstition, but
the simple number of 737 may have much
to do in the shaping of your future happi-
ness and final destiny. The secret of this
lucky number is not revealed , to you in
dream books, nor can you glean it from
the stars. You must look for it in another
direction. You can see thousands of men
and women in every grade and condition
of life who pin their faith to this number
and build their hopes upon it. The
affluent banker, the eminent lawyer, the
pious clergyman, the sturdy mechanic,
the sun-burnt farmer, the dashing broker,
the hardy miner, all elbow each other in
their eagerness to reach their Mecca.
737.
The vast throng who continue to daily-
seek this number do so in quest of happi-
ness, with which they have not always
been blessed. Perhaps you, yourself, have
not. Possibly you have been foolish in
your younger days or indiscreet in after
years and now suffer the evil effects of it.
While you may be afflicted with no acute
disease, yet you are conscious of the fact
that something is wrong with you. You feel
that you are nervous and irritable. You
feel that your thoughts and ideas are dull
and often become confused. You feel that
your sleep is bad, unrefresliing and some-
times disturbed by weakening dreams.
You feel that your energy and ambition
are cone. You feel that yon are unfit for
study, business or the proper enjoyment
of either married or single life. You there-
fore meet with repeated failures and from
the depths of your gloom and mortifica-
tion you cry out that fate is against you,
never thinking that
737
Market street, San Francisco, holds the
key to your health, happiness and future
success. There, at this well-known num-
ber, you will find Dr. F. L. Sweany,
who is acknowledged to be the greatest
living authority on the treatment of
all chronic ailments of the human
system. His specialty embraces not
only, every form of nervous, sexual and
private diseases, but he addresses himself
in particular to diseases of the eye, ear, :
head, throat, lungs, heart, stomach, liver,
bladder, kidneys and urinary organs. He
also effects a radical cure in the shortest
possible time of piles, rupture, varicocele,
hydrocele, gleet, gonorrhoea, syphilis and
kindred troubles. Female complaints,
which make miserable the lives of a large
portion of the American women, receive j
careful attention and perfect cures from !
Dr. Sweany. If you " are discouraged, j
down-hearted or pain-tortured by any of
these or similar diseases and desire to get
rid of them and be restored to sound,
health y manhood and womanhood, then
737
Solves the problem. Go to that number
this day. Don't fool away any more time
and money dosing with patent medicines
and other cheap remedies tnat will do you
no permanent good, but put yourself
under the skillful, scientific treatment of j
Dr. Sweanv, whom you know will cure
you. He has brought about brilliant
results in apparently hopeless cases, in
proof of which he has thousands of
genuine testimonials for private exhibi- 1
tion in his office. If you cannot call upon
Dr. Sweany describe to him, fully and j
frankly, your troubles by letter. He will
then understand your condition thor-
oughly and tell you candidly whether or
not he can treat you successfully at your
own home by correspondence and by
medicines sent. In this manner he con-
tinues to cure cases in all parts of the j
country. The doctor's offices are now, as
they have been for many years past and i
always will be in the future, located at 737
Market st., opposite the Examiner office,
San Francisco, Cal. His hours for con- j
sultation and treatment are from 9 to 12
A. M., 2to 5 and 7to 8 p. m. Sundays, 10
to 12 A. M. only. Having received the
benefit of this great physician's treatment
you will never forget the talismanic
number.
