LOO* COMPANIONS. Dan Sweeny Ueat-n and &_____ by Newly Made Friends. Dan Sweeny, who resides on Tehama street, near Fourth, had an experience early Sunday morning. August 2d, which will make him somewhat chary about picking up his friends In a saloon. Late in the morn- ing he went into a saloon on the corner of. Li-ward and Fourth streets and struck up an acquaintance with three young men, whose charming manner and airy sociabil- ity went straight to his heart A few drinks were set up, and time Hew on gauzy wings till 0 o'clock, when Sweeny concluded It was time for him to be think- ing of setting his face homeward. On get- ting outside be concluded to have his shoes blacked, and had just settled himself com- fortably for the cleanly operation when his newly made friends appeared. But the friendly sociability had disappeared, ami Sweeny was considerably surprised to hud himself violently hauled from the chair and vigorously assaulted. Sweeny broke away from his assailants, and started on a run down Fourth, the three following in hot pursuit. Unluckily for Sweeny, at the cor- ner of Tehama he tripped. Belore lie could get on liisfeetagtiln his pursuers overhauled him. and beat and kicked him so severely that he has been confined to the house for about a week. A groceryman on the corner interfered and Sweeny at length broke away from his assailants and took refuge in the store, but nut until the three had possessed themselves of a valuable watch. Officers Crockett. Dillon, Moriarty and O'Connor have been working on the case, and on the loth ar- rested Andrew Ft. mhuger. Bemhuger was living with Charles Qui^ley and the third man in a small house, _'. Ilurlburt street. The oilier two vacated ihe house immedi- ately after their companion's arrest.

An agitation in which the public is deeply concerned has recently risen among the owners and manufacturers of patent medi- cines and other proprietary articles. This agitation is directed against the practice in- dulged in by certain druggists of selling a "substitute preparation" for the proprietary article for which a customer calls with the intention of buying. There are many standard articles— soaps, emulsions, pills, sarsaparillas, oils, extracts, sirups, etc.— which have attained 10 a, large sale _and a widespread reputation by their real merits and the liberal advertising of their proprietors. This reputation would seem to be the legitimate property of the owner of any article in question, and so long as the soap, oil, sirup, or whatever it is, jus- tifies the reputation, no man has aright in honesty to undermine or divert the rewards of such character Irom its proper goals. Yet, itis alleged, such undermining, such dishonesty, is practiced every day, to the in- jury of established business and to the det- riment and damage of the public. For in- stance, a man calls at a drug-store and asks for some stated preparation that he heard highly recommended or that has been used before in his family. At all events he wishes that particular medicine, and any one would suppose be had a right to have his desire gratified. Oftentimes, however, ho will be told. "I am all out of that now, but here is some- thing of my own make that is just as eood, even better, and is much cheaper," and too often the customer, relying upon the state- ment of the druggist, will take the substi- tute. At first blush one may think all this fair business methods on the part of the druggist, but when you consider that nine limes out of ten he has right iv his store the standard article originally asked for, that he has been perhaps for years selling it and on which a fair profit is provided by the men whose business he tints seeks iv bis small way to destroy, and that in many cases the substitute given is absolutely ineffectual as compared with the other, the magnitude of his offense against the manufacturer who trusts him and the public whom he is sup- posed to seiva is seen at ouce. It is per- fectly right for druggists and chemists to concoct their own preparations and in an houest way sell them, but it is undeniably wrung for any one to try to push his prepa- ration to success by stealing the reputation that it has taken others years of time and thousands of mouey to build up, and even worse for them to place in peril the health and life of their patrons. When the custo- mer outers the store the force that guides him is the reputation of that particular standard article, and if the druggist has it ho should sell it to him. The movement to stop this species of de- ception, not to say swinuling, is therefore of great importance uot only to the men who are primarily affected, but to every individ- ual in the community, and it is likely that the movement will takedefinite and effective shape at once. This question was very ably discussed yesterday afternoon in the presence of a Press man by Mr. L. D. Morse, manager of J. H. Bates' newspaper advertising agency, who, has for a long time given .thought to the various phases of the ques- tion because of the work that Bates' Ad- vertising Agency had done in extending the reputations which are now insidiously attacked. After some complimentary comments on the Editorial Association Mr. Morse went on: "People have no idea how extensively this fradulent dealing is practiced. And there is more than an offense to the moral sense of the community in this swindling system; there is actual physical danger. Think a moment of the evolution of a patent cr proprietary medicine from the limo that I its formula is discovered by the chemist in his laboratory until it has won recognition from the world as a trustworthy remedy, with a place ln the homes of the land and in the confidence of the people. The mak- ing of such medicines Is an exact science. Tliey have been tested, and tested over and over again by the experts of the world, and they are prepared by scientific men. Money might boost a preparation iuto prominence before the people for a time, but no amount of money could keep it before tli« people. It must have won on its merits. Had it not been able to effect what was promised for it the first time it would not be bought a second time. With this palpable truth before you, do you not think there is danger to the community in having such remedies thrust aside, and for them substituted con- coctions prepared possibly by the veriest tyros in the pharmacist's art? Customers should demand the article they have every reason to believe is the best, and they should insist upon getting it. It is time this contemptible business was stopped, and it can be if the press of the country will ventilate and expose it, and if the pub- lic will refuse to patronize druggists who try to palm off the substitute nostrums. The only reason the druggists have for wanting to sell these substitutes is because they can be made cheaper than the standard articles and sold with more profit. This is the very reason the public would want the standard and does not want the other. I'm willing that druggists and all other men should make as much as they can, but let them make it honestly without injuring their neighbors or befooling or endangering the community. "The standard proprietary medicines of to-day represent the greatest, the most bene- ficent discoveries in chemistry? What they contain is known absolutely, and so far as their component elements "are concerned they are the safest, the most reliable of all medical prescriptions. The day has passed when they can be, lightly discredited as nos- trums. The enlightened testimony of tho world cannot bo sot aside easily. "When a druggist, in his apparently friendly way, tells you that he has some- thing of his own or of another concern that will do just as well as the article you have asked him for, if yon could pierce his coat of blandishment and friendliness, you would find in every case the reeking form of avar- ice. It is not interest iv you, in ninety-nine cases out of a hundred, that actuates him, but the desire for the larger profit which ho can make upon the substitute article, and right here let me say that any druggist who willthink a moment will see that this prac- \u25a0 tice on his part cannot be pursued with im- munity, for If a customer finds out that his druggist will, for the sake of making a few more cents, try to persuade him into taking an article the worth of which is open to question. In place of that which the patron thought best for the purpose to be attained, that customer can never again be satisfied in his mind that that druggist is to be trusted in fillingdoctoi's prescriptions. If a man will deceive in an article lie sells in bulk, will he not be more likely to deceive In the article which in the secrecy of his labora- tory he compounds from the doctor's formula, when the same motive exists— the desire to make money? 'Honesty is the host policy' for druggists as well as the rest of us, and for their customers 'vigilance is the price of liberty' from deception and | danger." _» For tlio Larceny of a Coat. 1 Charles Wilson, a laborer, was arrested by Officer Egan on Front street yesterday and charged with petty larceny. A gang of men were at work on the street, and one of them laid his coat on a pile of lumber. Within five minutes Wilson bad the coat uuder bis arm and was walking off with it. Sent to Napa. Peter Johnson, a native of Denmark, (53 years old, and a saloon-keeper by occupa- tion, was committed to the Napa Asylum yesterday by the Insanity Commissioners. FISTIC SPORTS. Exhibition nt tlie California Ath- letic Club. The Pacifies Make a Big Offer to Fit-iim- mons and Pritchard— lhe Latter Win Fight at Hew Orleans. Members of the California Club, who have become tired of scientific exhibition- be- tween professional pugilists, were treated last evening to a series of slogging bouts between some tenth-rate professionals and ex-amatenr boxers. {-.me of the bouts proved quite amusing and caused much laughter. - \u25a0-. -,-,? - A young red-headed fellow named Fiynn, who learned behind a plow all he knows about boxing, gave a very funny exhibition, after which he made a speech and picked up about §1_ thrown into the ring as a re- ward. ??:?../ " Handsome " Charley Rochette, who has been challenging Jack McAnliffe, Jimmy Carroll and other first-class men, was knocked stiff in the second round by an amateur from Los Gatos named Baker. The punch that dropped the muchly over- rated pug was a right-hander, which caught Charley on the neck. THE OKI) OF EVENTS. The following is the order iv which the exhibition was carried out: Jones (colored), 120 pounds, vs. Casey, 13C._ pounds. The contest could not be de- cided until six ronnds wcr . .ought, when Casey was awarded the victDry. Bob Baker, 13.*. pounds, of Los Gatos, vs. Charles Boot-Bite, 135 pounds. Won by Baker in the second round. Bob Kane, I_G pounds, vs. E. Tourney, 132 pounds. Won by Kane in the fourth round, after a number of knock-downs. Fred Cole, 130 pounds, vs. Dick Etinis, _33_ pounds. Ennis quit after the first round. He said he did not relish punish- m.Nt, and that his heart was out of order. Professor Fiynn of <ttle boxed Joe King a fouf-round exhibition. I.V THK SECOND. SERIES. _\u25a0)\u25a0"'. i In the second series Casey defeated Kane, Baker defeated Colo, after which Cole and Kane boxed for the third prize, which was awarded to Kane. Scott and Baker will box for first Hint second prize on Friday evening. The judgment of tiie referee was very poor in some instances ami a change might be made for the better when the uext entertainment will be held. Prior to the exhibition President Fulda made a short speech In which he said that the clii- had become tired of giving big purses and in future other clubs that are now bidding high could have the right of way so far as he was concerned. He said that the Directors decided, recently, not to cive more than s*oooo for a meeting between Pritchard and Fitzsimmons which was re- fused by the latter. PACIFIC ATHLETIC CLUB. - At a meeting of the Hoard of Directors of the Pacific Athletic Club it was decided to oiler a purse of 512,000 for the winner of a fight to a finish between Fiizsiiuuions and Pritchard, and .500 for the loser's expenses. The ficht will take place, if the terms be accepted, some time in February. Fitzsim- mons is the middle-weight champion of the world, and the fight promises to be a taking card with the sports. Robert Fitzsimmons has consented to act as manager iv the contest between Riordan and Fenner at the Pacific Club on Friday, and James Carroll will act as manager of the Hawkins-Catheart contest. The question of lowering the stage a couple of feet and raising and arranging the seats, to accommodate, as in an amphi- theater, from 5000 to 7500 people was broached, but no action taken. The signing by the Boxing Committee of Woods and Davis for a set-to September '-Ist was given the board's approval. Noel, who is President of the Xew Orleans Olympic Club, received a cable from Prilcli- ard yesterday that he had accepted the terms of the club and would fight Fitzsim- nious there. 11 _* - MECHANICS' FAIR. ; Everything in Iteadlness for the Opening on Tuesday. The Directors of the Mechanics' Institute met last evening at the Pavilion and com- pleted arrangements for the twenty-sixth annual exhibition, which willopen on Tues- day. The various sub-committees submitted final reports, to the effect that everything is in readiness for the opening of what promises to do the most successful fair ever held in this city. The Chairman stated that the members of the board had been put to great inconven- ience on account of a publication concern- ing tickets of admission, made in the Daily Stock Report. This paper, according to the Chairman, had an Incorrect statement of the proceedings of a recent meeting of the board. In stating that certain privileges heretofore allowed ou season tickets had been abrogated. "The report was a false one from first to last," said Hip speaker, "and has caused us no end of trouble. Whether it was Inten- tional or simply a piece of unskillful rewrit- ing I cannot say." . — . - Trustee Hendry replie. that he had been told by the Stock Report people tnat the account published had been rehashed from The Mo___x_r_- Call. The Call's account of the meeting was produced and read by one of the members ana admitted by all to he correct to the let- ter. The evening sheet above referred to was condemned, but charitably placed on the list of complimentary tickets. There was some talk of removing two ob- jectionable pictures entered for the exhibit, but no action was taken. The Latest Fad.

GET WHAT YOU ASK FOB.Allegations That Sonne _-r_<_g-I___ Do Not
Deal Fairly Willi Patrons.An agitation in which the public is deeply
concerned has recently risen among theowners and manufacturers of patent medi-cines and other proprietary articles. Thisagitation is directed against the practice in-dulged inby certain druggists of selling a"substitute preparation" for the proprietaryarticle for which a customer calls with theintention of buying.
There are many standard articles— soaps,emulsions, pills, sarsaparillas, oils, extracts,sirups, etc.— which have attained 10 a, largesale _and a widespread reputation by theirreal merits and the liberal advertising oftheir proprietors. This reputation wouldseem to be the legitimate property of theowner ofany article in question, and so longas the soap, oil, sirup, or whatever it is, jus-tifies the reputation, no man has aright inhonesty to undermine or divert the rewardsof such character Irom its proper goals.
Yet, itis alleged, such undermining, suchdishonesty, is practiced every day, to the in-jury of established business and to the det-riment and damage of the public. For in-stance, a man calls at a drug-store and asksfor some stated preparation that he heardhighly recommended or that has been usedbefore in his family. Atall events he wishesthat particular medicine, and any one wouldsuppose be had a right to have his desiregratified.
Oftentimes, however, ho will be told. "Iam all out of that now, but here is some-thing of my own make that is just as eood,even better, and is much cheaper," and toooften the customer, relying upon the state-ment of the druggist, will take the substi-tute. At first blush one may think all thisfair business methods on the part of thedruggist, but when you consider that ninelimes out of ten he has right iv his store thestandard article originally asked for, thathe has been perhaps for years selling itandon which a fair profit is provided by the menwhose business he tints seeks iv bis smallway to destroy, and that in many cases thesubstitute given is absolutely ineffectual ascompared with the other, the magnitude ofhis offense against the manufacturer whotrusts him and the public whom he is sup-posed to seiva is seen at ouce. Itis per-fectly right for druggists and chemists toconcoct their own preparations and in anhouest way sell them, but it is undeniablywrung for any one to try to push his prepa-ration to success by stealing the reputationthat it has taken others years of time andthousands of mouey to build up, and evenworse for them to place in peril the healthand lifeof their patrons. When the custo-mer outers the store the force that guideshim is the reputation of that particularstandard article, and if the druggist has itho should sell it to him.
The movement to stop this species of de-ception, not to say swinuling, is therefore ofgreat importance uot only to the men whoare primarily affected, but to every individ-ual in the community, and it is likely thatthe movement will takedefinite and effectiveshape at once.
This question was very ably discussedyesterday afternoon in the presence of aPress man by Mr. L.D. Morse, managerof J. H. Bates' newspaper advertisingagency, who, has for a long time given.thought to the various phases of the ques-tion because of the work that Bates' Ad-vertising Agency had done in extendingthe reputations which are now insidiously
attacked.After some complimentary comments on
the Editorial Association Mr.Morse wenton: "People have no idea how extensivelythis fradulent dealing is practiced. Andthere is more than an offense to the moralsense of the community in this swindlingsystem; there is actual physical danger.Think a moment of the evolution of a patentcr proprietary medicine from the limo that Iits formula is discovered by the chemist inhis laboratory until it has won recognitionfrom the world as a trustworthy remedy,with a place ln the homes of the land andin the confidence of the people. The mak-ing of such medicines Is an exact science.Tliey have been tested, and tested over andover again by the experts of the world, andthey are prepared by scientific men. Moneymight boost a preparation iuto prominencebefore the people for a time, but no amountof money could keep it before tli«people.Itmust have won on its merits. Had itnotbeen able to effect what was promised forit the first time it would not be bought asecond time. With this palpable truthbefore you, do you not think there is dangerto the community in having such remediesthrust aside, and for them substituted con-coctions prepared possibly by the veriesttyros in the pharmacist's art? Customersshould demand the article they have everyreason to believe is the best, and theyshould insist upon getting it. Itis timethis contemptible business was stopped,and it can be if the press of the countrywillventilate and expose it, and if the pub-lic will refuse to patronize druggists whotry to palm off the substitute nostrums. Theonly reason the druggists have for wantingto sell these substitutes is because they canbe made cheaper than the standard articlesand sold withmore profit. This is the veryreason the public would want the standardand does not want the other. I'm willingthat druggists and all other men shouldmake as much as they can, but let themmake it honestly without injuring theirneighbors or befooling or endangering thecommunity.
"The standard proprietary medicines ofto-day represent the greatest, the most bene-ficent discoveries inchemistry? What theycontain is known absolutely, and so far astheir component elements "are concernedthey are the safest, the most reliable of allmedical prescriptions. The day has passedwhen they can be, lightly discredited as nos-trums. The enlightened testimony of thoworld cannot bo sot aside easily.
"When a druggist, in his apparentlyfriendly way, tells you that he has some-thing of his own or of another concern thatwilldo just as well as the article you haveasked him for, if yon could pierce his coatof blandishment and friendliness, you wouldfindin every case the reeking form of avar-ice. Itis not interest ivyou, in ninety-ninecases out of a hundred, that actuates him,but the desire for the larger profit which hocan make upon the substitute article, andright here let me say that any druggist whowillthink a moment willsee that this prac- \u25a0
tice on his part cannot be pursued with im-munity, for Ifa customer finds out that hisdruggist will,for the sake of making a fewmore cents, try to persuade him into takingan article the worth of which is open toquestion. Inplace of that which the patronthought best for the purpose to be attained,that customer can never again be satisfiedin his mind that that druggist is to be trustedin fillingdoctoi's prescriptions. If a manwilldeceive in an article lie sells in bulk,willhe not be more likelyto deceive In thearticle which in the secrecy of his labora-tory he compounds from the doctor'sformula, when the same motive exists— thedesire to make money? 'Honesty is thehost policy' for druggists as well as the restof us, and for their customers 'vigilance isthe price of liberty' from deception and |danger."

-MECHANICS' FAIR.
;
Everything in Iteadlness for the Openingon Tuesday.
The Directors of the Mechanics' Institutemet last evening at the Pavilion and com-pleted arrangements for the twenty-sixthannual exhibition, which willopen on Tues-day. The various sub-committees submittedfinal reports, to the effect that everythingis in readiness for the opening of whatpromises to do the most successful fair everheld in this city.
The Chairman stated that the members ofthe board had been put to great inconven-
ience on account of a publication concern-ing tickets of admission, made in the DailyStock Report. This paper, according to theChairman, had an Incorrect statement of theproceedings of a recent meeting of theboard. In stating that certain privilegesheretofore allowed ou season tickets hadbeen abrogated.
"The report was a false one from first tolast," said Hip speaker, "and has caused usno end of trouble. Whether it was Inten-tional or simply a piece of unskillfulrewrit-ingIcannot say." .—
.-
Trustee Hendry replie. that he had beentold by the Stock Report people tnat theaccount published had been rehashed fromThe Mo___x_r_- Call.
The Call's account of the meeting wasproduced and read by one of the membersana admitted by all to he correct to the let-ter. The evening sheet above referred towas condemned, but charitably placed onthe list of complimentary tickets.
There was some talk of removing two ob-jectionable pictures entered for the exhibit,but no action was taken.
