TYPO DELEGATES
IN CONVENTION
Condemn Present Methods
of the State Printing
Office.
Should Not Be Made a Haven
for Political Haneers-On,
Not Printers.
Will Deal With Governor Budd's
Veto at Some Future
Session..
Oakland Office San Francisco Call,)
90S Broadway, Aug. 12. )
The seventh annual convention of the
State Typographical Union opened In the
Council chamber this morning. The chief
matter to be debated is the action of Gov
ernor Budd in closing the State Printing
Office, and when it comes up it is expect
ed that some lively speeches will be heard.
In his annual message President Mar
shall of Fresno says nothing of the
trouble, but leaves it "to the careful con
sideration of the convention."
After the canvissing of the credentials
the president read his report, which was
as follows:
f Gentlemen: During the year that has elapsed
since the sixth annual session of the State
union many things have transpired which are
of interest to the craft— some pleasant to re
member while others may be termed unfortu
pate. Among the former 1 refer to the blasted
hopes ol the proprietor of ihe Los Angeles
limes, due to the administration's refusal to
provide for him; also the setback recently
sustained by the Pacific Press oi Oakland at
the hands of the university regents.
Among the unfortunate things 1 may men
tion the ciate Printing Office trouble, which I
leave to the careful consideration of the con
vention ; ihe failure of tne international body
to grant State and district organizations in
creased power of egislatlon, and tne introduc
tion of a few additional linotype machines in
this State, But you are all famiiar with these
matters, and it is unnecessary for mo to dis
cuss them further i 1 this report.
No doubt many matters of importance to the
i fraternity will be introduced at the session,
' therefore I will offer but few suggestions.
First of all I favor the perpetuation of tho
State organization. Since the regular sessions
of the International Typographical Union
have been discontinued it is my belief that
meetings will be of untold benefit, not only
to the craft, out to other organizations com
posed of laboring men.
It is my belief that the interest of all con
cerned would he best subserved by the
thorough organization of State and district
-lions throughout tho jurisdiction of the
International Typographical Union, the In
ternational Typographical Union to hold reg
ular sessions not more than two years apart,
representation to be by Slate and district
only.
I would suggest that the State union request
the local unions to exercise more care in con
sidering applications for membership. It can
be of no possible benefit to an apprentice to be
admitted to lull membership and ye; be in
competent, as it is impossible for even the
Most competent to tccure employment at
limes. I recommend a revision of the consti
tution and by-laws of the State organization,
the same to be printed under the name of Cal
ifornia State Typographical Union No. 0.
As to our greatest enemies in this State— the
Pacific Press and the Los Angeles Times— l be
lieve there are delegates present who have had
dealings with the.-c notorious institutions
and who will be better able to suggest a mode
oi warfare against either or both of them than
myself, then i leave them to the convention.
Secretary-Treasurer Read submitted his
report, which shows that during the year
all the unions in the State have done com
paratively well, not one having surren
dered its charter. Referring to the State
printing trouble, he says:
The -unfortunate nominal closing of the
State Printing Office Will probably furnish
matter for debate. In any event, Sacramento
Union No. 40 will have the sympathy and
good wishes of every delegate. There la no
question about that. * Besides, it is a State in
i-titution that is of special interest to us all.
Let our only aim be to preserve it to the craft.
A warm debate was caused by the intro
duction of the following resolution:
Resolved. That this convention recommends
that noue but practical union printers, actu
ally working at the trade, be nominated by
any political party for the office of State
Printer, and the State Printing Office be con
ducted on strictly union principles, In ac
cordance with I. T. U. law.
The following resolution was also unani
mously adopted:
Besohf.d, That all applications for positions
in tho State Printing Office of the State of Call
fornia shall be made only through the fore
man of that office (and through no other), In
accordance with the laws of the International
Typographical Union.
The convention will lake up the matter
of the Governor vetoing the appropriation
lor tbe ate Printing Office at a future ses
sion. To-night the delegates attended a
ball at the Masonic Temple.
Applied a Cowhide.
OAKLAND. Cal., Aug. 12.— East Oak
land was somewhat excited to-night over
a cowhlding that was administered to a
man by a woman. For several nights a
man named Tom Daasy had been drink
ing in the neighbornood of Thirteenth
avenue and East Twelfth street. On Sat
urday night he was badly beaten and a
doctor had to attend to bis face. This
thing continued for several nights and at
last Mrs. Deasv, who has several children,
followed her husband downtown and dis
covered him in a saloon playing a nickel
in-the-slot machine. She then applied
her little whip and took him home.
Deasy took his punishment with dignity
and promised not to do anything to de
serve it again.

lapse from the attack of pneumonia that
nsß kep\ him in bed for the past two

«re entertained that to-morrow will find
his condition improved.

THE CREMATORY
CHANGES HANDS
The City Council Could Not
Create a Monopoly of the
Garbage Business.
The Promoters Declare They
Have Lost Money Since
Making the Contract.
Italian Scavengers Refused to Deliver
Their Collections to the
Crematory.
Oakland Office Ran Francisco Call,)
903 Br< a l way, Aug. 12. J
The Oakland GsrDage Crematory is now
the property of J. E. Lyons, of Front
street, San Francisco, end the attempt to
scientifically dispose of t lie garbage of this
city Pas proven a failure.
For some time it has been known that
the company was losing money and a
judgment for labor recently obtained
against it forced a crisis.
The experiment has been watched with
much interest for over a year and had the
promoters been able to secure a monopoly
of the business they wouid have been able
to pay the bonus to the city and to nave
conducted the institution at a profit to the
stockholders. They have been foutrht
vigorously by the Italian scavengers ever
since they started and every possible ob
stacle has been placed in their way.
On one occasion some sticks of dyna
mite were found in the garbage, which, if
it had reached the furnace, would quickly
have ended the crematory.
At the time the company commenced
operations the city was paying $000 per
month to a contractor to take the
garbage to some point seven miles from
town and dump it from cars. The com
pany for over a year has saved this
amount to the city, but tbe Mayor re
cently vetoed an ordinance making it a
misdemeanor to refuse to deliver garbage
to the crematory. This would have
created a monopoly, and such a course
was declared to be illegal.
The Italians have lately been chartering
cars and sending their garbage out of
town, ana thus the crematory only had
the privilege of destroying what its own
men collected. This was not enough to
maintain it and it could not meet its obli
gations.
County Recorder Spear is president of
tbe company and be says if the Council
had properly supported the company It
would have been able to go ahead.
"We have saved the city thousands of
dollars a year,"said Spear, "and it has de
clined to support us. We could easily
live up to our contract if we had the priv
ilege of destroying all the garbage, which
was what we expected."
It is probable that the city will soon be
aga n naying $600 a month to have the
garbage hauled out of tovvin.
NO FAMINE IMMINENT.
The Annual Story About a Water Fam
ine in Berkeley Given but
1 ittle Support.
BERKELEY, Cal., Aug. 12.— The an
nual story of a water famine in Berkeley
has again been put in circulation. About
this time each year for the last four au
tumnal seasons the water-famine yarn
has been spread abroad.
It is a fact that the supply of water in
Berkeley is not so good as it might be, and
continual protests against the service are
made to the various companies during the
dry season. But as lor a famine, that
seems to be an error.
The lack of an abundant supply in West
Berkeley seems to be due to the people
themselves. The prevalence of wells and
', windmills in that section has served to
! prevent the local companies from extend
j ing their mains. The Alameda company
I has renounced its claim to the territory
j for putting in mains, and so the. West
| End i-i free to be used by the Contn
Costa company.
Doing Much. Work.
BERKELEY. Cal., Aug. 12. -Extensive
preparations are being made by tue mem
bers of the university Y. M. C. A. and
j Y. W. C. A. for their receptions to the
j incoming students next week. On Tues
day the Y. M. C. A. will tender a recep
tion, on Wednesday afternoon the Y. W.
C. A. will give a reception, and on Friday
evening a joint entertainment will be
given at Stiles Hall.
Both the associations hava branched
out on broader lines this year than ever
before. From the Y. M. 0. A. there has
been a committee of thirty which has
made it us business to r ceive the incom
ing students, meeting them at the trains
and assisting them to find suitable board
ing places. To-day it was decided to elect
a permanent secretary, who will keep reg
j ular office hours every day at Stiles Hall
to conduct the business of the association.
Reno Hutchinson, '99, was elected to the
position. Earl Swan, '99, was also chosen
president for the coming year, and George
Mays, '98, secretary.
Schools Overflowing.
BERKELEY, Cal., Aug. 12. -Tho en
rollment in the l'.erkolev public schools
has increased by nearly 400 pupils during
the last yesr. At a corresponding date in
18% there were between 1700 and 1800 stu
dents altogether. Now mere are 2159, ac
cording to the report of Iruperin.endent
Perhani, made public to-day. As a result
ot the increase it has been a very difficult
| matter to adjust the attendance, notwith
standing the fact that several new build

THE SAN FRANCISCO C ALE, FRIDAY, AUGUST 13, 1897.
HOPES SOON TO
SEE HIS WIFE
Daniel Andre Does Not Yet
Know She Died Last
Sunday.
The Suffering Husband Still at
the Receiving Hospital
Very Weak.
Friends Will Tell Him the Truth and
Bury Mrs. Andre This
Afternoon.
Oakland Office Ban Francisco Cam, )
90;? Broadway, An.'. 12. j
Daniel Andre is in 01 c of the most pitia
ble ana pathetic conditions in which a
man could be place .'. He i> at the Re
ceiving Hospital looking forward to the
time when be will be able to go home to
see his wife whom he believes to be sick
from the shock of his accident.
Last Sunday Mrs. Andre died of an apo
plectic fit and the news cannot be told the
suffering man because he is not physi
cally able to bear the sorrow that must
result.
A greater difficulty now confronts the
friends of the family, prominent among
whom is Rev. C. M. Hill of the First Bap
tist Church. They do not care to undertake
the responsibility of interring the remains
without consulting the husband and with
out giving him a last opportunity to see
the facj he had known so long in life.
They are face to face with two difficulties.
Andre cannot be moved to the place
where his wife's remains lie and it is im
possible to keep them much longer,
Andre is making good progress toward
recovery, but his wounds are still serious.
The log on which the steel beam fell was
so injured that it was necessary to am
putate it above the knee, and no is still
very weak and it is not considered safe to
tell him of her death. He at present un
derstands that she is not able to come to
the hospital to see him on account of
sickness, which was the primary reason
for discontinuance of her visits.
It was decided ibis evening to convey
the news of Jits wife's death to Andre to
morrow morning, as it is necessary that
she be buried tomorrow afternoon.*
HAD A PRIVATE PUNCH
Arrest of a Man Who Supplied
Himself With Transfer
Tickets.
Krugel's Clever Scheme Ended When
He Passed One Pasteboard
Too Many.
Oakland Office Bam Francisco Call,) '
<JOB Broadway, Aug. 12. J
G. M. Krugel. an Conductor of the
Oakland, San Leandro and Hay wards
Electric Line, has been caught passing
bogus transfers upon his former em
ployer, and is now under arrest charged
with attempting to defraud the company
out of it- regular fare.
The accused was formerly motorman
on she road, but was discharged after
having run his car into a hack, which it
more or less injured. ?9jjggi
He then went to work at Alameda,
though he continued to reside at Elm
hurst.
For the purpose of making his trios to
and from his place of business in an inex
pensive way ho conceived the idea of bogus
transfers. These he made by securing
legitimate transfers and punching the
sa me with a punch which he had secretly
acquired aid which so closely resemble
punches ot the company that it was diffi
cult to determine the difference in the
general appearance between the genuine
and bogus transfers.
Circumstances caused Krugel to be sus
pected. The . matter was Drought to the
attention of Constable Glaze. He worked
on the case and satisfied himself that
Krugel was doing the crooked work. Ha
caught him in the act several times.
lii going to Alameda the suspect wonld
present his bonus ticket and ride free
across the estuary and back again.
Last night Glaze feared that Krugel
might suspect him and thus be placed on
his guard, so he put Deputy Constable
Robinson to work on the case.
Krugel boarded the train for homo at
Fruiivale. At HiL'h street he sanded the
conductor one of the bogus transfers, to
gether with a. nickel, both ot which were
Intended to pay his passage to Elmhurst,
As soon as the transfer was surrendered
the conductor handed it to Robinson, who
had been provided with an order for that
purpose. It was discovered to be bogus,
and Krugel was placet.' under arrest.
The company is now making an effort
to ascertain where Krugel obtained the
genuine transfers which lie fraudulently
furnished. .. • '.■-';

Miss Culbertson'a Death.
Shortly after the death of Miss Marguerite
Culbertson of the Chinese mission the state
ment was made that the same was caused by
her being kicked by an inmate of the mission
who at the time was out of her mind, and that
the injury became so aggravated that It in
lime terminated fatally. Dr. Catharine V. C.
Scott, who was the lady's physic an for year-,
states that the blow was not tne cause oi
death. She says that Miss Culberson was for
the past ion years a. great sufferer from
stomachic troubles, but that she never com
plained or told even her most intimate friends
of her affliction. It was ehronjc stomachic
troubles, Dr. Soott says, and not . the insane
woman's blow, that called the lady away iroin
the scene of her usefulness. ,
MORTON STREET
UNDER THE BAN
The Board of Health De
mands Better Sanitary
Conditions. .
Houses . Will Be Closed Until
They. Are Satisfactory to
the Department.
Dr. Morse Will Arrange a Pure-Food
Exhibit for the Coming
Fair.
The Board of Health has decided that
the erstwhile disreputable houses in Mor
ton street, so long an eyesore to the citi
zens of this City, shall not be opened or
used for any purpose unless they are first
put in a sanitary condition.
It came to the ears of the board some
linr* since that a proposition was on foot
to let the hi uses for saloon and other busi
ness purposes, and an- inspection was or
dered. The result came out at a special
meeting of the board yesterday, when Dr.
Fiizcibbon presented the .following report
of the inspection:
To the Honorable the Board of Health—Gentle
men: As chairman of the Committee on Nui
sances 1 submit my special report bearing
upon the condition of the alley known as
Morton street, wh eh runs for the space of
two blocks from amy to Stockton.
On Tuesday, August 10, accompanied by
Police Officer Buiterworth and Assistant Sec
retary Zobel, the latter acting In the capacity
of photographer, a thorough inspection from
a sanitary point of view was made of the frame
and brick buildings situated on this alley, all
of which, excepting the few- blocks which
face on the rear, were formerly used as houses
of prostitution, but are now without occu
pants.
Without exception the buildings on both
sides, for the entire length of Morton street,
are a menace to tue health of the public, inas
much as the damp, filthy rooms, obsolete
plumbing and dilapld ated floor and roof sup
ports cannot but generate ' germs and odors
dangerous to the weUaie ol • the immediate
neighborhood and to the public at large.
Frankly, 1 consider these buildings worse
than those located in Chinatown prior to the
inspection of your honorable board.
Nine-tenths of the rooms in both rows of
buildings are entirely without light or visible
means of ventilation. They are small, prob
ably not over live feet square, while the ceil
ing's are exceedingly low. A majority of the
floors on a level with or slightly above the
street are quite damp, a considerable space
being between the flooring and wet ground.
The wallpaper in these rooms, which bulges
to an alarming extent, should be removed and
the wall rebuilt as the only sanitary precau
tion.
None of the closets are properly trapped,
thus allow! the foui-sme. ling sewer gas to
pjrmeate the buildings. It was impossible to
inspect several of these rookeries owing to the
nauseating gas and overpowering stench.
Several closets In ihe reur of the buildings
are simply bare pipes connecting directly with
the sewer, and which, lifting the b ack stems
upward, are liable to saturate the neighbor
hood with disease germs. In the rear of 32
Morton street is located a closet which is
within two feet of the rear of a restaurant
lacing Geary street. The cooking-room of this
restaurant is separated from this closet simply
by a serie-i of iron bars, which in turn support
shelves heaped up with meats, etc., intended
for eating purposes. Herewith will be found
two photographs showing the position of the
closet and its proximity to the cookroom in
question. 1 propose to abate this dangerous
practice in a summary manner, and will also
refer the same io Food Inspector Bockery lor
action. ii&Qßg -:';¥■ " :
-.After this Inspection, and having given due
consideration to the existing danger and its
nearness to one of the most populous portions
of the City, I hereby certify to your honorable
board that said buildings are unfit for human
habitation by reason of their being so infected
with disease as to be likely to cause sickness
both to the occupants thereof and those sur
rounding or near tho same period. 1 there
fore recommend that same Le ordered and
kept closed until such time as the owners
thereof thoroughly rebuild the dilapidated
portions and place therein sanitary plumbing.
All of which is respectfully submitted.
Gerald J. Mtzgibbons, M.D.,
Chairman Commitee on Nuisances.
To put the matter in proper shape in
case legal complications should arise, the
board adopted the following resolution:
Whereas, After a thorough inspection, from
a sanitary point of view, has been made by the
c-hairmin of the Committee on Nuisances of
the Irvine and l>ne< buildings located on Mor
ton street, between no kton and Kearny
streets; and whereas, u.,er such inspection
said buildings have beeu loutid lobe danger
ous to the health of those residing or em
ployed in the immediate neighborhood and to
the health of the public in general, therefore
be it
Resolved, By the Board of Health that said
buildings ou Morton street, formerly used as
houses of prostitution, be ordered closed until
sucn time as the owners thereof thoroughly re
build the dilapidated portions and place
therein sanitary plumbing; and be it further
besolveU That the Health Officer be in
structed to enforce this resolution by service
of same upon the property-owners of said
buildings.
A proposition from the directors of the
Mechanics' Institute to have a pure-food
exhibit arranged for the coming fair was
referred to Dr. Morse with power to act.
The trustees of the Home for the Ine
briates sent in a communication offering
to turn the institution over to the City,
and the matter was referred to a commit
tee to be hereafter appointed by the Mayor.
DIMOND'S SUIT DISMISSED.
Miss Lillian Blair Will Not Have to Fay
That 9100,000 l <•<-.
The suit of Attorney Henry Dimond
against Miss Lillian Blair for $100,000
on account of services as, lawyer was
dismissed in the Superior Court yester
day. The plaintiff availed himself of
his legal right to abandon his claim and
the litigation therefore came to a close.
This lawsuit has caused a great deal of
gossip and controversy among the friends
and admirers of the young lady on one
side and the stanch adherents of the
lawyer on the other. The distinguished
name ol General Barillos was implicated
in the dispute and there was at one time
danger of international difficulties in con
sequence.
JNo explanation has been offered by the
plaintiff lor the dismissal of ins suit, but
it is within the possibilities that the ac
tion may be renewed in another phase
within the time allowed by law.
In sneaking of the course taken by the
attorneys lor the plaintiff, J. B. Reinstein
said it was a complete surprise to the at
torneys for' the defendant. The latter
were doing everything possible to bring
the suit to' trial, and had been given no
intimation of the action that was taken
yesterday. He also gave it to be under
stood that the matter would, not be
dropped, but that everybody connected
with the plaintiff's suit would be given
full opportunity to vindicate their honor.
Old Friends' .Encampment.
President Thomas Sawyer of the Old Friends
Society is preparing to give a three days' en
campment at some near-by Dlace, in which all
the old pioneer members and friends will take

sick-attendance committee. A meeting of the
society will bo held this evening at 8 O'clock
at the Norman Hall, 413b Bush street, to make
arrangements for the encampment.

COULDN'T HAVE
KILLED HIMSELF
Dr. Gallagher Says Hoff
man's Wounds Were Not
Self-inflicted.
Medical Expert Testimony Of
fered in the Fieel Case
Yesterday.
Mailing Clerk Post Tells That Figel
Had a Pistol Like the One
Used.
In the Figel examination the scene of
the homicide was left for a time yesterday
and expert testimony was introduced to
disprove the theory of suicide. The ma
jority of this evidence was extremely
technical.
W. S. Jones, a photographer, tbe first j
witness, identified six photographs taker!
by him from different angles of the hole I
in the wail ».f the conversation room, i
General Barnes objected Id their intro- j
duction as evidence on the ground that a 1
line appeared on the wall in the picture
which he claimed was not on the wall ,
itself. 11 -said: "All sorts of trickery
can be . carried on in photography by j
one who knows how to manipulate the ,
camera." The objection was overruled j
and the pictures admitted.
The mailing clerk for Hoffman, Roth- j
child & Co., Clarence M. Post, was shown ;
the pictures taken at the Morgue and
identified them as likenesses of Mr. Hoff- (
man. In response to questions, be said: i
"In the month of May Theodore Figel
showed me a pistol similar to the one ,
found in the cilices on the night of June 1.
I had it in my hand and he explained its
action to me."
. Air. Ach handed him the pistol found
in the store and asked, "Was ft like
tins?''
"Yes, it was nearly the size of this one."
"Did yon ever lave any conversation
with Mr. Figel in regard to his having
killed anything?"
"Previously to the time he showed me
the pistol he told me that he had killed a
disabled horse. On June 2 Detective
Whitaker showed me a pistol, and it was
exactly like this one."
"Did you recognize the pistol he showed
you as similar to the one Figel nad?"
"It was one like it. Detective Crockett
pointed out some spots on it to me and
they looKed like blood. Some of the spots
are still on it."
The witness here directed the attention
of the court to some dark spots on the
right side of the revolver which appeared
to be rust.
Dr. Gallagher was next called and testi
fied to making an examination of the dead
body of Hoffman. He said : "There were
present at the autopsy Drs. Hawkins,
Morgan and Rutin, Chief of Police L»es
and Janitor Smith. I found certain
wounds, external marks on the face, nose
and chin and Dlood on them. . I examined
the wounds and for convenience numbered
them 1, 2 and 3. No. 1 was on the lett
cheik three inches from the lobe of the
left ear and an inch and a half from the
angle of the mouth. There were no
powder marks visible and the two days
growth of beard about the wound was not
singed. The bullet passed through the
check, fracturing the bones of the nose
and completely destroying the roof of the
mouth. The bullet was found in the
stomach.
No. 2 was a lacerated wound on the left
temple, an eighth of an inch wide and
hall an inch long and was an inch and a
half Irom the upper attachment of the
ear. The hair around it waß not burned.
No. 3 was two and a half inches above the
ear and an inch and a half in front of it.
The edges were blackened and the hair
around it singed. Two abrasions were
found on the right side of the face, one
crescent shaped and the other square.
The left side of the face was a little
swollen. Tne bullet which made No. 3
passed through the skull and injured the
brain. A portion of the bullet and some
pieces of bone were imbedded in the brain.
No. 2 was made by the exit of a part of the
bullet causing No. 3. Death was caused
by shock and hemorrhage resulting from
the gunshot wounds just described.
' "Would wound No. 3 have produced un
consciousness?
"It might."
"Would 11 have caused the party receiv
ing it to fall?"
"Perhups so."
"You say the brain was injured. What
portion of the body does the injured part
control?"
"Tne lace and lips.''
The court— ls it possible that a person
could have tired both of those shots into
his own head?
"He might, but it is not probable."
"How near must this pistol be held to
make a powder mark?"
"I don't think, with black powder la the
cartridges, it is possible for one to hold it
far enough away from himself to prevent
powder .marks. 1 don't think the de
ceased could have fired the shots." '
"Couid he have inflicted the wound
holding the pistol in his right hand ?",
"It is possible, but it would have been
a very awkward position."
The witness then took the p stol and
showed how it mutt be held to inflict the
wounds with the tight and left hands, it
being necessary In eitch instance to pull
the trigger with the thumb.
Pieces of the skull and the bullet were
handed to the witness, and alter being
identified were offered as evidence.
Dr. Gallagher produced some photo
graphs of experiments he had made with
pieces of human skin and explained
them. He had taken a revolver like tne
one found at the offices nnd fired it at the
pieces of skin from diffrent distances.
At live, ten and twenty inches the dis
charge, both with smokeless and black
powder, left marks on the skin.
General Barnes conducted the cross
examination. He went into the educa
tion of the doctor and found that he had a
degree from Cooper Institute and that he
Had had considerable experience with gun
shot wounds. In the course of his ques
tions he asked, "What would you say as
to the position the stol was held in if
you heard that the stewards at the hos
pital had found a smudge or powder slain
two inches in diameter surrounding the
wound?"
This was objected to by the prosecution
as being a hypothetical question not
based on . evidence already introduced.
The oint of law was argued by both sides
the remainder of the session. Just before
adjournment Judge Campbell sustained
the objection. ,

Dedicated to the Mechanics' Institute.
In the evening the members of the
Board ot Health, in recognition or the ef
forts of the trustees of the Mechanics' In
stitute to further a pure-iood movement,
have decided to participate in special ex
ercises to be held in the audience-room of
I the Pavilion. Secretary Cummins ap
< peared before the Board of Health at their
! meeting yesterday morning and extended
j a formal invitation on behalf of the board
jof trustees. It was accepted, and Dr.
I Spencer will probably deliver the address.
! All tne attarlics of the Board of Health
I have been invi'ed to attend in uniiorm,
with Chief Fool Inspector Dockery at
I their head as grand marshal. Tuis prom
j ises to bo a very novel feature.
Exhibitors are rushing work on their
i displays in the Pavilion in order to gain
j the prizes ottered for the best prepared
I and most complete exhibits in place and
j fully in order at tho hour of orening the
[ exposition on Tuesday night. Five prizes
j are offered, ranging from $100 for the first
(prize down to $60 for the filth. This ap
; plies to th* general exhibits. Two special
prizes are also offered in the machinery
I exhibit, the first of $100 and the second of
! $50 under the same conditions.
Some confusion exists regarding the
I price of season tickdts. A double season
j ticket, admitting gentleman nod lady,
j cos $5. The price to members is $2.
The trustees have decided that those who
j have purchased double season tickets can,
■ by paying the admission fee and three
I months' dues on becoming members, ob
j tain a rebate of 50 cents on each double
I season ticket, provided the same is not
used, and presenting the same to the li
brarian at the library, prior to the opening
I of the fair.
Butclie a' Association Meets.
At the regular meeting of the Butchers' Pro
tective anil Benevolent Association last night
eight new members were initiated. The re
port of the treasurer showed the association
to be In an unusually good condition finan
cially. The four delegates from this City who
are attending the meeting of the State body
at Los Angeles report that they are boing roy
ally entertained there and that important
changes In "the bj-laws of the association
are under consideration.
