OLD CLOTHES ARE AN ISSUE
THE AFFIDAVIT MAN IS IN THE

Many Unusual Incidents Make the
Election Next Week One of the
Most Interesting in
Years.
Oakland Office San Francisco Call, | -,
308 Broadway. March 5. j 1
If a hundred candidates want to earn j J
the undying gratitude of a suffering city i
they should resolve not to inflict a single j ■
speech on their victims during the coming i
•week. I don't think a hundred votes will be | «
changed by tlfe oratory, argument, facts ; ,
.and fancies and vilification promised dur
ing the last seven days of the campaign. j 1
For a year and a half Oakland has been ; '
upset by political campaigns of one kind ,
or another, and by special elections. Now !
the only people who are attending the
meetings are the followers of the speak- ; <
era, who go to make a snowing and cer- ]
tainly not to be convinced or entertained. ■
It is surprising how few can be induced to •
spend the evening listening to denuncia- '
turns and promises, even when a few na- '
tional firebrands are thrown in. Nothing I
new Is brought up, and each side is kept | •
busy contradicting what the other camp j '
says, so that in the end everybody winds | i
up pretty much where they started out. ■
I can conceive of there being va.ue to the I
orators in some 01 the stump speeches | ]
made, if Barnum were alive and looking ' :
out for freaks for the cap and bells ap- | _
pendix to his circus, but outside of this : .
field some of the ambitious declaim are '
very much out of place.
One of the most amusing "issues" -* the ;
campaign so far has been a suit of the 1 ,
Street Superintendent's r»'-* clothes. Une •
issue was set up by Mr. Miller's political .
opponents, who declared that H» had once , j
employed a man who was broke ♦■» do
gome work at his home and had paid him :
with a suit of old clothes. The inference i )
■was made that Mr. Miller had employed ! ,
the man on the streets and had paid him •
•with old clothes, to the financial advan- ■
tape of said Mr. Miller. This was very se- j
rious and although I doubt if anybody i '
■who will help to elect Mr. Miller placed ! ;
any reliance on the story, it was consid- i '
ered necessary to resort to the affidavit ! ■
man, and when all the sworn testimony ' ]
•was in it appeared that a certain man had |
been employed by Mr. Miller to work at ]
his home and that Mr. Miller had given (
him for his day's work, a dollar, some
meals, and a suit of clothes "of as much : 1
value as a new $15 suit," and that said ]
man had afterward been given work on ' '•■
the streets, for which he received his j ;
.■warrant.-; and was regularly paid. The ; •
next tirr.»». Miller wants a 'lay's work done j \
•around h'.a home I wish he would let me i ;
know. ! J
' Then) hare been more than rumors dur- j j
Ing the past two days of certain nasty | .
prevoiailons to be sprung this week con- ! i
cerninsr Home of the candidates now run- I
Jiing for -ward Counetlmen. Details of ■
•<iivorc«« suits and of squandered fortunes jj
me promised, with all the attendant evils. ]
I sincerely hope that any candidate wno
■will open up such a campaign will be j ,
juried so deeply next Monday that he wni
Jiever be heard from in public -ife again.
The public heart goes out to Auditor
Enow in his greatest sorrow. Sometimes,
In the busy humdrum of public life we are
apt to acquire the habit of regarding an j
official as a machine— or a register of facts
and figures. Such men are found to be I
convenient in daily life, especially to j
newspaper men, but it is not easy always j
to associate the individual with the of- j
fice. With Mr. Snow, tm9 is not true. !
It is no trouble to him to enter into the j
spirit of a visitor's query and to explain j
anything that may be insufficiently under- j
stood. The Auditor has seemed to Know ]
his business so thoroughly that it is a |
pleasure to know him and to note me |
sincerity with which he enters Into his :
duties " Still, to the mass of the public I
he was "Auditor" Snow, a man of figures i
and practical ideas. Now it is different, j
"We know another Mr. Snow. The unwel
come hand of Death has reveale^ the bet
ter side of this worthy official's char
acter and the secrets of his home nave i
been, of necessity, brought out. Now it j
Is known that for years he has been tak- ,
Ing a part in the human drama more I
noble even than serving the public and of
•which few knew anything. And — <th this
load of added anxiety the busy work of
his office went on with unfailing regu
larity This is manhood and represents
the character of the Republican nominee
for Mayor.
Perhaps for the first time since <_o.,viand
Was a big city, her political complexion is j
to be definitely determined next Monday. ]
to a single vote. On looking at tna
cample ballot it is seen that there are but
two names for City Attorney. This is
the most important office in the city gov
ernment, not even excepting the Mayor.
The two candidates are City Attorney
Dow, the choice of the Republicans and
Municipal League, and Thomas F. Gar- |
rity the choice of the Independents and i
the Democrats. In former years there
have always been three leading candi
dates and "some others, but this time tne
line is drawn squarely. It is one of the
most interesting points to be decided at
the election. Mr. Dem's friends claim 1000
majority. Mr . Garrlty's friends say
"walk over." t , . , .
Another cause of much speculation Is
the vote Councilman "Woodward will re
ceive in his ward. One of the shrewdest
politicians has said seventy-five. I am in
clined to double that estimate, it being a
big ward. Mr. Woodward is confident he
•will succeed himself.
Here is the- latest piece of campaign
experience that has come my way. I will
give It verbatim. "There ie a certain place
in town where there are about thirty citi
zens who will vote as you tell them to if
' you do the right thing. Hire a room down
there and, you know, the saloons are
closed on election days. Well, put a few
gallons of wine in there and a few sand- I
wiches, and during the lunch hour march
in your men. Let them have plenty of
'dago red' and then give them your num
ber and march them to the polls. You
can do it easily with a trustworthy man
and about eight dollars. Remember, Da
vie was only beaten art: the last election
by about forty men." This was all said
in such evident good faith, or I would
give away all the details. If I should re
" ceivc thirty-one votes I hope 1 shall not
be credited with the purchase of the other
thirty for eight dollars handled by a
"trustworthy" man.

very >-xtensive acquaintance. The funeral
will take place Tuesday morning at 10:30
o'clock from the J^rst M. E. Church.

THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, MONDAY, MARCH 6, 1899.
ALL KINDS OF
JOKERS MAY
BE EXPECTED
Water Rates WiH Be
Fixed To-Night.
OAKLAND'S ANNUAL STRIFE
THE SOLID SIX APPEAR TO BE
BEPENTANT.
After the Experience of Past Years
Any Kind of a Surprise May Be
Confidently Looked
Tor.
Oakland Office San Francisco Call,
908 Broadway, March 5.
The most important meeting of the year
will be held by the City Council on Mon
day night. The business of fixing the wa
ter rates will be taken up and no one is
able to guess what may happen. There
have been some most remarkable Bur
prises in the Council chamber over the
fixing of water rates, and last year it was
the cause of several riots.
The ordinance handed in to the commit
tee last night by Councilman Earl has up
set all the calculations regarding the pro
gramme of the "solid six." Everybody
had expected that Earl's ordinance would
be a high one, especially as only two of
the members of the six are seeking re
election. It is, in reality, the well-known
"non-partisan" ordinance of 1897, gener
ally considered to be the low-st rates ever
passed by the Council. Mr. Upton, on the
other hand, has introduced an ordinance '
much higher than that of Mr. Earl; but |
j much lower than the rates in the infam- j
i ous document passed last year.
There will undoubtedly be some warm
debating at the meeting. If indications •
; are faithful the "solid six" have gone to
I pieces and the city can depend upon a j
fair rate for both public and private use. j
i Whether the Earl or tfle Upton ordinance \
will pass is doubtful. If the six stand ■
• t'.rm for the low rates they can pass them ;
! and the lobby will be regaled with the pc- j
; culiar exhibition of the men who voted to j
j rob the citizens last year fixin- a lower >
! rate than that favored by the five men
, who have been loy-l to their trusts
throughout.
There are those, however, who would
not be surprised to see U»e six spring a
totally new ordinance to-morrow night.
Such "things have hannencHi before.
Independents Meet To-Night.
OAKLAND, March s.— There -will be a j
meeting of the Independents at Gibbs'
store, North Oakland, to-morrow night.
Hon. John L. Davie. R. M. Clement,
Colonel Thomas F. Garrity and others
will address the voters on that occasion.
ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENTS, j
THE VAUDEVILLE STAGE— C. D. H..
Los Angeles. Cal. If you have an ambi
tion to appear on the vaudeville stage j
file an application with the manager of I
the theater at which you would like to |
I appear.
HOMES FOR CHILDREN— A. S., City.
i A person who is unable to support a child
I by reason of misfortune and inability to
obtain employment should notify the So
ciety for the Prevention of Cruelty to
I Ch'ldren and it will take steps to have
the child cared for.
PROPERTY AND POLlCY— Subscriber,
Sierra Valley, Cal. The question asked in
regard to property and Insurance is not
sufficiently clear to enable this depart
ment to ascertain what the writer wishes
to have answered. This department c;in
not guess the meaning of correspondents.
THE SHARKEY-JEFFRIES FIGHT—
A reader, Redding, Cal. The published
reports of the match between Sharkey
! and Jeffries in San Francisco May 6, 1898,
' fail to show that Sharkey was knocked
! down by what is known as "a square
blow." ~lf that had occurred it certainly
I would appear in the reports.
KANSAS CITY— T. J. L., City. There Is
a Kansas City in Kansas and one in Mis
souri. The reason why there is a general
i belief that there is but one city of that
; name Is explained in an answer to another
! correspondent published under the head
lof "As to Kansas City," February 8,
| 1899. in Answers to Correspondents in The
Call.
A LANDLORD'S RIGHT— E. S. G.,
City. The question as to a landlord's
: rights in the matter of a tenant holding
over for a short period beyond the time
for which rent was paid would depend
' on the contract or understanding between
! the tenant and the landlord, and without
a knowledge of the terms of the contract
a. definite answer cannot be given.
EVERETT AND BELL— E. M. L., City.
It was not W. M. Everett, but Edward
Everett of Massachusetts who was a can
j didate for Vice President in ISGO with
! John Bell of Tennessee, and It was not
M. W. Everett who was Secretary of
i State in the Cabinet of President Hayes;
but the Secretary of State who served
in the Haves Cabinet from 1877 to 1S&1 was
William Maxwell Evarts.
FOUNDATIONS.— A correspondent who
believes that the answer given recently
in this department in relation to founda
tions was not full enough writes: An
owner may excavate to any depth under
fourteen feet below the curb level and
shall notify the adjoining owner to sup
port his building during said excavation.
! On the other hand, if the owner desires
| to excavate below a depth of fourteen
feet he is compelled to support the house
adjoining, which is not down to a depth
of fourteen feet.
DYING INTESTATE— Subscribers, Car
ter, Cal. "If a woman dies, leaving no
will, no debts and a piece of property,
say 320 acres of land, can the three chil
dren, the only heirs, by any procesß of
deeding the property to one another avoid
the trouble and expense of probating the
estate in court, and could they give a
clear title to an intending purchaser?" Is
a question that is answered by stating
that it cannot be done. The estate must
go to probate In order that the heirs may
Becure their legal rights.
THE NEXT LEAP YEAR-Subscriber,
Canyon, El Dorado County, Cal. In order
to correct the slight variation of time,
which takes place every year since the
adoption of the present calendar, it was
ordered that to make the time as nearly
correct as possible every hundredth year,
except such as is dlvisable by four hun
dred, should not be a leap year. The year
1896 was a leap year, but as 1900 cannot be
divided by 400 there will not be twenty
nine days in the February of that year.
The next leap year will fall In the year
1904.
ELECTRIC RAILWAY-J. M. 8., City.
In the overhead circuit system of elec
tric railways one or two conducting wires
are carried along the road or by its side
or directly over the center of the track.
Each motor car takes its current from
the conductor by a flexible wire or other
connection attached to a little car or trol
ley that rolls along the conductor. In some
systems two parallel wires are carried
from tho dynamo station, and the trolley
by double lead 3 throws the car motor into
a bridge circuit from wire to wire. In
other cases but a single overhead con
ductor is provided ana the motor takes
current from it, and then through the
wheels, rails and perhaps WRter and gas
mains connected with the rails Is ground
ed. Then the current passing from wheel
to rail increases the tractive force of the
wheels, but if the rails are dirty the
grounding is imperfect and resistance is
set up.

The cycle meet, which commenced
here s'esterday, was continued to -ri w
befo-" nn Immense audience, remind
ing one of the halcyon clays of cycling
in 1896-7, when the Garden City Club
had to enlarge its grandstands after
every meet to accommodate the in
creasing crowds. It augers well for
the season of 1899, and the club here
is quite pleased in consequence.
The principal event on to-day's pro
gramme was the 100-mile race between
all the long-distance cracks who have j
recently been competing in San Fran
csico. Added interest wa3 given the \
race because "Charley" Wells, the big
Bay City rider, started, and considering
that this was his first long distance
race he did phenomenally well. A spe- t
cial prize had been offered by the man- j
agement for the man leading the most i
number of laps, and Wells won it, head
ing the bunch eighty-seven times,
against Barnaby's seventy and Fred- |
cricks' forty-seven. Wells finished the j
race in sixth position. At one time, on j
the forty-fourth mile, it looked as if
he would gain a lap and thereby win, j
as no one could hope to regain it on j
him. An amateur sprint race was on, \
and as the men flew by the hundred- j
milers on the last lap, Wells, who was
leading the long distance men, tacked i
on behind the sprinters and by follow
ing them gained half a lap on his op
ponents. The sprint race ended then, !
however, and as he had no one to pace
him further the bunch soon caught up
again and he was back in his old posi- j
tion.
The starters in ... the big race were i
Nawn, Stevens, Goodman, Chapman, ;
Clem Turville, Charles Turville, Barna
by, Wells, John Lawson, Iver Lawson,
Pilkington, Fredericks, Ashinger, Aron- !
son and Julius, fifteen in all. They i
were sent away at 1:20 p. m. Ashinger
and Aronson dropped out at eleven
j miles on account of the killing pace,
I and Pilkington lost a lap on the nine
j teenth mile from the same cause. Clem
' Turville lost two laps on the thirty
fifth and then quit, and spent the re
mainder of the afternoon on the front
! seat of Fournler's "infernal machine.
Iver Lawson and Fredericks gave it up
j at sixty-five miles, and the remaining
ten finished the race.
The finish was wildly exciting, the
ten men all being bunched on the last
lap. Barnaby and Chapman were in
front and started the sprint. Barnaby
I rode wide to let his team mate, Chap
| man, through to win, but it also let
I Lawson through, and the sturdy Swede
beat out the Georgian by less than a
foot right at the tape. The order at the
finish was: Lawson, Chapman, Good-
I man, Stevens, Charles Turville, Wells,
j Julius, Barnaby, Nawn and Pilkington,
! and they all finished within inches of
I each other.

at the intermediate miles and the time

John Lawson, the winner, rode third
ii the recent twenty-four-hour race in
San Francisco and tenth in the six-day.
He is looked upon as a coming man.
The Bay City Wheelmen's riders cap- |
tured both the short distance open j
events. W. G. Furman of that club
won the mile open professional in two j
straight heats from a field composed of
Weinig, Gibson, Cotter. Downing, Leon
art Eaton and Wyman, paced by Ald
ridge Downing was second and Leon
art third in both heats, and they hal
'it out with Furman each time. Furman
is in wonderful shape, as he must well
be to beat those men. He won the mile
open Saturday from a similarly fast
Ralph Robinson, a recent addition to
the Bay City Club, won the amateur
mile his closest competitors being M.
E Francis, George Doll and "Brother
in-law" Wastle. Robinson showed rare
speed and used good judgment, win
ning two straight heats. '
Henri Fournier and Clem Turville
put up an astounding ride on the "in
fernal" tandem. They covered a third
of a mile in 29 3-5 seconds, which is at
the rate of 1:28 4-5 for the mile. Four
nier's seat came loose and they did not :
atempt a mile, for, as the Frenchman j
expressed it, at the gait they were yo
ing he preferred his saddle more secure,
because Turville did not know how to
manage the motor, and if he (Henri)
fell off there was no telling what might
become of the outfit.
Fournier was offered and refused
$2000 In cash to-day for his "infernal"
tandem. He sets no price on it. He
sold his motor tricycle for $500 to Miller,
the six-day champion, and his motor
bicycle for $1000 to a San Francisco
millionaire, whose name he says he was
requested not to disclose for the pres
ent.
To add to the record breaking fea
tures of the splendid day's sport, Or
lando L. Stevens of lowa went a mila
paced by Fournier & Co. In 1:40 3-5,
which beats McFarland's California
record six seconds.
The San Francisco wheelmen all re
turned home on to-night's train, but
the Easterners will remain here for
several weeks to complete their training
for the: Eastern circuit, as the track
and climatic conditions suit them per
fectly. Another meet will be held here
next Sunday under the same conditions,
including a long distance event, prob
ably at 100 miles, and several short dis
tance races. Floyd McFarland, jvho
has been ill, will go into the competi
tion to show his San Jose friends -what
he can do, and some good sport Is
looked for.

CHICAGO, March s.— Fitzsimmons and
Jeffries may decide the championship at

Watsonville Beats Troop C.
SAUNAS, March .".—One of the most
interesting and exciting parties of base
ball ever witnessed In this city took
place to-day at Recreation Park between
the Watsonvllle team and Troop C nine
of Salinas. It was the third of a series
of three games between the two teams,
each having won one game. A large
number of spectators were present and
witnessed a ten-inning game. Watson
ville was victorious. McCarthy and Pe
ters constituted Watsonville's battery,
while Palmtag and C.reen occupied like
positions for the troopers. The score was
9 to S.
Gilt Edges Defeat Seattle.
SACRAMENTO, March s.— About 1200
people enjoyed a crand game of base
hall here to-day between the (Jilt Beiges
of this city and the Seattle champions.
It was a fast and snappy game from
start to finish, and was won by the Gilt
Edges by a score of 7 to 5. Doyle was
signed by Manager Kripp of the local
team to-day and will pitch the coming
season.
When the War in the South Ended.
During the Civil AVar the majority of
volunteers enlisted for "three years or
during the war." In the popular minds
that conflict ended at Appornattox. with
the surrender of General Lee. Of course
it did not end then, because General John
ston kept the field for pome days after
that event and General E. Klrby Smith
did not surrender the troops west oi the
Mississippi until still later. The Supreme
Court in one of its derisions where the
question arose decided that the Civil War
both began and ended, legally, on the
dates of certain proclamations by the
President. The legal beginning was held
to be April 19, 1861, as to South Carolina,
Georgia, Alabama, Florida, Mississippi.
Louisiana and Texas, and as to Virginia
and North Carolina April 27, 1-1. April
•' IKC.6 President Johnson issued a procla
mation declaring the war at an end In
Virginia, North Carolina, South < arolina,
Georgia Florida. Mississippi. Tennessee.
Alabama. Louisiana and Arkansas and
August 30 of that year another proclaim
ing the war at an end In Texas. As Lee
Bun-endered April ?. 1865, the popu.ar .imp
for the end oi the Civil War.it will be
seen thai a year, less a week, elapsea
from that event and the first .of the Presi
dent's proclamations f°™al£ proclaim
ing the war at an end in Virginia and
certain other States and more than six
teen months till Texas was Proclaimed l to
be In a pacific frame of mind.— Chicago

A Bailroad's Bed Aflame.
A portion of the Buffalo. Rochester and
Pittsburg Railroad will have to be rebuilt
at Punxsutawney, Pa. When the work
was started last spring the contractors
mok a lot <>f cinders and cuke dust from
the Walston cokeyarda for the foundation
of a large tilling at the lower end of the
town Dirt was piled on top of this arid
the road apparently completed. Recently
clouds of smoke Issued from under the
ilirt pile, the filling began to Bag, and it
became apparent that the coke pile under
the dirt was on fire. Holes were dug in
the mound and thousands of gallons of
water poured \ n to quench the fire. It
had r.o effect, and now the whole dirt pile
will have to be removed or a new track
built.— Pittsrmrg (Pa.) Times.
