Election Board.

A VIOLATION OF THE LAW.'

attorney Phillips, on Behalf of the Party,

Eaters a Bexnonstrance Against thsCommissioners.

__The session of the Board of Election

Commissioners yesterday afternoon wascomparatively quiet.

There was only one breeze and that wascaused Iby Attorney .Phillips, representingthe Non-Partisans.

After the reading of the minutes it wasdecided that where a man had been com-pelled to move from his boarding-house tothe other side of the street by reason of theSheriff taking possession of the premiseswhence he was registered ha should be al-lowed to vote from his old domicile as hecould not have gained a new residencea here be then lived.

Some uninteresting citation cases thensame up and were decided.

Then Attorney L. E. riiillip.arose andapplied for about forty citations for persons-bo be said, were not entitled to have\_ifir names placed on the great register.

After some discussion the matter was re-ferred to tie Registrar with instructions toinvestigate the matter and report to thebaard to-morrow.

Phillips then read tbe following protestinbehalf of the Non-Partisans:

a;!cf which Is contrary to ihe spirit of equity. ___

Impartiality,as well as against tlc purpose*-iCu intent of our laws.f-oris E. Pun iIPs,

Attorney for .be Nun Barti.arts,

Cornmissiouer I'ur.t, before any actionwas takeu, said he strongly objected to bav-ins; any party celled __• th* name used inthe protest. Itwas not right and in his

/jpir.irv was a deliberate insult to the board.Tbe party, bad a regular proper designa-

tion snd it was only decent and proper thatin any proceeding before the board itshouldbe called by its pro] title.

Phillips denied that there was any inten-

Itionto insult tbe board. The designation

had been given to itin that way in order todistinguish itfrom another wingof the Re-publican party known as the Burns wing.

As there were two wings of the party itwas necessary to give it some special name

so tbat the two should not be confounded,

and lie knew of no other than that com-Eoti.y uspd by almost a' 1politicians.

mmrr,i«_.>*_,vl __.ur.-t denied that therewas any Bed to call the party by any aucucame and in rather warm terms said thatfor one, unless the. attorney would appearbefore the board in a more respectful man-ner, be v.i...:d ask that tbe board refuse torecognize him.

Phillips retorted that he. could not bedowned in that manner.

Commissioner .Smiley called attention tothe fact that tbe section quoted by Mr. Phil-lips had been superseded by a new sectionpassed in 1889, which makes it imperativeto divide the election officers between thetwo parlies receiving the highest numberof tea at the next preceding election.

Tne protest was, on motion of Commis-sioner O'Brien, received and placed on file,aid the commission then adjourned till to-morrow morning at 11 orlock, when thequestion of the names and designations onthe ticket willcome up.________

ELLERT AWAY AHEAD.

Small Dealers Are for Dim Dear* -md

Sunt.

They are all for EllertFrom the Presidio to Butehertown every

man, woman and child, including£»«"\u25a0not taxed, are shouting for the young

Supervisor for Mayor.Yesterday, for Instance, two Call re-

porters were sent out to makeia list on

SlontSn-ery street and were told to makeno exceptions. Every place of businessfrom Washington street to Calitoruie wasvisited, and 171 votes were taken by ballot.The result was as follows:1.. R. Ellert- 102Wendell Easton X*

IC. C O'-O.nnell 40j Barry 1. win -. ll

Total 171Among the places thus visited was the

office of the Selby Smelling Works at 416Montgomery street. At that place nine-teen men were employed, and of this num-ber eighteen were for Ellert. The otherrefused toexpress any preference.

Following are the places visited: BankExchange; Cevn*co, Brizzolarl & Co.;F. Cavagnaro; Evening Bulletin; J. Gut-berlet; The Peer Saloon; J. Feld ;A. J.Stein; J. Schmidt; Zelgler Bros.; JamesClulow; 11. Bruggeman: A. SDarboro;American Bank.nnd Trust Company ;PeterBros.; Atlantic Brush Company; P. P.Bernard & Co.; Burnham A Marsh; B.Rosenthal; Kolb&Denhard; Selby Smelt-ing and Lead Company.

'ibis is an evidence that the business menare with the Non-Partisans. Already ThkCall,by actual test has shown the feeling

of the toilers and now it is demonstrated toa certainty that the men who carry on thetrade of the city are of the same mind.

In fact, tlie .sentiment is overwhelming,and shows, as before pointed out, that thereis but one man in the fight, and that is El-lert.

A majority of all the voters seem to favorhim, that means the success of the entireticket.

When it comes to an election it Is morethan likely that the result willbe even moreemphatic. Itwillstow beyond the shadowof a doubt that the good people of the com-niuuity are against the bosses and willwipe

them iffthe face of the earth.

The number of those whose affidavits aresigned "John D

WHO IS JACK HAYES?

A Kelly Candidate for theAssembly.

HIS PRESENT BUSINESS.

A Canvass of the District Shews That the

Non-Partisan Nominee, William Gately,

Will Snow Him Under.

Among the horde of political bandittiselected by the Kelly-Crimmins "acclama-tion convention" for legislative positionswas "Jack" Hayes, who was chosen fromthe Forty-fifth Assembly District.

Jack was a member of tbe last Legisla-ture, where he gained unenviable notoriety

in connection with every scheme presentedfor the looting of the treasury, crown-inghis generally bad record by voting forMike de Young for United States Senator.

So far as known bis vote was never cast

for the general good except when be votedfor an adjournment.

He was the chosen pal, the boon com-panion of the Dibbles, the Cravens, theGrahams and others of the contemptible

and despicable crowd which accomplishedj nothing except to bring disgrace on the

Republican party, which had so far for-gotten its traditions as to permit such adisreputable gang to wear its legislativelSo" 'much for Jack Hayes' legislative

record. Now for Jack Hayes himself.Located on the northwest corner ol Mont-

gomery and Jackson streets, just where themost southerly cape of the Barbary Coastjits into the ocean of decency, is locatedJack Hayes' place of business.

In outward appearance it presents out

little difference to the other "rests for theweary" and "storages for drunks withwhich the Barbary Coast abounds. --y-pInand about the deadfall maybe found

at almost any hour of the day or.night astough-look a gang ot midnight prowlersas ever cut a throat or scuttled as! ip. cPIt is liom this locality— from this gin-

mill—that the Republican party of theForty-fifth Assembly District Is calledupon by Mikeda Young, Dolly Dorn, PhilCrimmins and MartinKelly,the watet-frontPagle, tochoose its candidate for legislativehonors.

'lhe man himself Is a fitting representa-tive of the unholy combination that selectedhim. but willthe Republican party permititself to be a_:ain misrepresented?

From a careful canvass of the districtTin: Cam. can assure Its readers thatJack Haves' mmc willnot disgrace theroll of the next Assembly. Nor will hisvote be recorded for Mike de Young forUnited States Senator.

William H. Stately, a boatman, not awrecker on the Barbary Coast, the on-Partisan and Democratic nominee, willcarry the district by such an overwhelmingmajority as to iorever preclude a "Republi-can" convention from putting forwardagain Jack Hayes or men of his ilk.

THE PRESBYTERIANS.The Synod Unable to Agree M the Briggs

Heresy flatter.

At any, N. V., Oct. 20.— principalbusiness ot the Presbyterian Synod thismorning was the report of the judicial com-mittee. The committee reported in favorof allowing Dr. McLeod of Boston to with-draw his appeal for the reason that it wasirregularly before the synod.

Dr. Van Kenselaer of New York movedthe time for receiving the report on the Dr.Hriggs case be fixed for 3o'clock. This waslost, and Dr. Miller of O^densburg, chair-man of the judicial committee, reported onthe two complaints of Dr. Driggs and bisfriends against the New York Presbytery.The committee find the complaints in order,but recommend that itIs inexpedient to takeaction at the present time, for the reasonthe highest court has taken action covering

the points at Issue and the lower court isnow proceeding undent. The considerationof the report was set down for3:30 this aft-ernoon. Itthen being past bom recess wasordered until 3 o'clock, and the considera-tion of the report made the special orderfor 3:30. 8858Inthe afternoon itwas recommended that

approval be put up the report of the NewYork presbytery, with thb exception of theportions touching upon the Briggs con-troversy. It was finally moved that ap-proval be postponed until the meeting ofthe synod next year. Tbe motion was car-ried unanimously.

Afterward the judicial committee re-ported that the prosecuting committee of theNew York presbytery wished to withdrawits appeal from the action of that presbyteryin dismissing the charges against Dr.Briggs.This the committee could not favor and de-cided that an appeal was in order.

A motion was made thai permission begiven to withdraw the appeal, and it wasadopted with some dissenting voices. Themajority report of the committee on tbetwo complaints of Dr. Briggs and hisfriends was then taken up, when itwas an-nounced that the minority report was Incourse of preparation. Itwas moved thatthe consideration of the majority report bepostponed until the minority report wassubmitted, which was then done.

The minority report agrees with the ma-jority, except in the recommendation that itis inexpedient to take action at present.

A hot discussion followed the receipt ofthe minority report, but a facetious delegatekept the assemblage in a peaceful frame ofmind. Atlength a motion was made andadopted that both reports lie accepted. Itwas then moved that the majority report beadopted. The motion was amended by pro-viding for the adoption of the minority re-port. After innumerable motions and coun-ter-motions and several lengthy speechesthe synod adjourned, and discussion willbecontinued to-morrow.

Theseanimals and birds were, either shot orpoisoned with strychnine. The Cape farm-ers used :- to:be ,most

Viewedfrom a distance Fez is a dream oi. beauty;at short range the illusion vanities. Onelong street runs the entire length of thetown and is paved with cobblestones. It isthe widest thoroughfare in the city, and itswidth never exceeds ten feet. In someplaces it is not half that broad. Along thisstreet are the shops, narrow little deu«, inwhich the merchants sit cross-legged, withtheir wares about them, and smoke villain-ous tobacco. Many of the other streets areso narrow that it is difficult for two portlypeople to pass. 1 rode down one ofthem on a donkey for a considerable dis-tance and found it terminated abruptly by

a stone wall. To turn my animal aroundwas impossible, and Iwas compelled toback him out. While doing so Iwas ac-corded fuflpossession of the street. Owing

to the heieht of the houses, many of whichare three stories, and tbe practice of cover-ing the street on a level with the first storywith reed roofs or vines, the rays of the sunseldom reach the streets, and they appearmuch like narrow, vile-smelling tunnels.Fez was once greatly celebrated for its tradeand learning. It was once the capital ofthe Mohammedan States of Western Africa,and the Moors considered it the finest cityIn tbe world. Itis filled with the tombs ofholy men, and is still held In extremeveneration by the Moslem inhabitants ofAfrica. It has been declining in commer-cial importance for some centuries and nowpossesses little trade and but about 40,000inhabitants."

Antiquarians in Great Britain are tryingto find out what has become of a peculiarmass of granite, with a singular traditionalhistory,' which until recently was shown asone of the sights of Cornwall. It was situ-ated at Helston, and was known as Hall'sStone, and from it;the town

'derived :itsname. Cornwall Is full of legends of fairies

and elves and goblins, as well as of KingArthur and: his Round Table knights, andmany: of its people sincerely believe infairies to-day. The story about; Hell'sStone. Is that it once blocked the en-trance to Hades, and that the devil took itinto his head to carry the stone with himon one ofhis frequent progresses :throughand over Cornwall. On his midnight jour-ney his majesty met St. Michael, and afierce

badly licked, and in his haste to get awayhe threw down the big stone, or he fired itat the archangel; the legends differ slightlyon this point.

between here and Sacramento. -George P. Whetmore, Charles Deedles,

George Hall and A. Barnes of the Bay City

Wheelmen Club greeted the adventurer afew miles east of Llvermore and escortedhim to the clubhouse.

Abig crowd was in waitingat the ferry

dock, and the follower of Louis Stevensonmet withan enthusiastic reception.

Mr. Lenz is a small, light-looking man,and one would hardly suppose from hisgeneral appearance that he could stand the

j Hardships of such an undertaking. He is25 years of age, 5 feet 6% inches tall andweighs 145 pounds. His face is smooth-shaven aud turned almost a copper colorwith the snn.

He left New York on June 4 last and ex-pects to get back in the fall of 1893. Herides' a pneumatic tire safety bicycle whichweighs complete fifty-seven pounds. Hecarries about forty pounds of clothing anda photographic outfit weighing thirteenpounds. i-'PP'-"-

After leaving New York Cityhe followedthe Hudson River as far as Albany, thencut across Central New York State toBuffalo, through the province of Ontario toDetroit, then on to Jackson. South Rend,

Chicago, Milwaukee. Madison, St. Paul,

Aberdeen, So uth Dakota and Jamestownand North Dakota. •

He then followed the old emigrant road,

along the line of the Northern Pacific Kail-road, through the bad lands to Livingston.Mont. From there he made a trip through

the Yellowstone Park in Augost, and wasthere caught in a snowstorm. ;-'-:p-ppr

His route then lay to Helena, Spokane,Walla Walla, then on to The Dalles. Nogreat obstacles had yet been met with onthe ipexcept for 126 miles before reaching

The Dalles. The piece of road, if such itmay he called, was deep, loose sand. Ittook him five days to make this stretch,over 100 miles of which were made on foot.

On October 3 he reached Portland, riding

4028 miles in ninety riding days. The tripfrom Portland to San Francisco was apleasant one, although rough In someplaces, especially in the Siskiyou Moun-tains, where he had the heaviest mountainwork since leaving New York.Itis now four months and sixteen days

since Mr. Lenz started on the trip. He hasbeen on the wheel 107 days, and in that time4857 miles have been covered.

Very few extraordinary incidents haveoccurred so far. While swimming acrossthe Yellowstone River he was caught in the

current and swept down the stream. andlanded on a friendly sandbank in an ex-hausted condition, but none tbe worse forthe experience. He has-been caught fourtimes on railroad trestles by passing trainsand forced to hang over the edges of thebrldgetto save bis life.

On Tuesday next he will sail for Japan,where he willspend aboat two weeks, goingfrom thore to China, and expects to bepretty well across Turkey by the end of thecoming spring.

A NOTABLE WOMAN.She Did Much to Hasten the Downfall

of Slavery.The Household.

Just outside the limits of the city of

Auburn. N. V., stands an unpretentious

little house, surrounded by a motley, yet

picturesque, collection of tinycabins, sheds,pens and kennels. This modest home shel-ters a varying crowd of lame and halt andblind, widows, orphans and wayfarers, alldependent for care and support upon an oldblack woman, whose heroicdeeds in plague-stricken camps and on bloody battlefieldsas scout and spy. as deliverer of her peo-ple, and defender of the oppress havemade for her a name as worthy of being

handed to posterity as Grace Darling's,Florence Nightingale's or Joan a'Arc's.

This woman, a fnll-

blooded African,thick-lipped and heavy-eyed, with the signsof her 70 years set fast indeep wrinkles andstooping shoulders,' .'has, perhaps, donemore than any single individual to free hernation and hasten the "crash Of slavery's,broken locks."

After making her own escape, by almostsuperhuman efforts, from slavery, takingher life in her hands, she returned to theSouth nineteen times, bring back with herueariy 400 slaves to the land of liberty.

At the beginning of the war she was sentto the South by Governor Andrew of Massa-chusetts to act as scout and spy for our ownarmies. S!ie was a trusted friend and con-fidant of John Brown, who drew up his con-stitution at her house and who used to referto her us "General Tubman."

This woman was a personal friend ofThomas Garrett, Gerrett Smith, WendellPhillips, Fred Douglass and William LloydGarrison, who delighted to introduce her toa cultivated Boston audience as his "foster-sister, Moses." When in Concord she re-sided with the Emersons, Alcotts, Whit-ney, Manns and other well-known families,;who respected and admired her as one ofthe most extraordinary persons of her race

The Bloomer Costume,Tittsburg Dispatch.

Mrs. Amelia Bloomer, who gave her nameto one of the earliest of "reform" dresses,is still alive, a gentle little old lady in goodhealth, at Council Bluffs. lowa, where shehas lived for the last thirty-three years.The Bloomer never received popular favor,and an English contemporary thinks itshopeless ugliness would make it impossibleto-day, even with those who do not recog-nize the absurdity of wearing "suspenders"outside their bodices. Mrs. Bloomer'soriginal costume was of red andblack shot silk, the skirt reachingfour or five inches below the knees, withTurkish trousers of the same material.The one excuse for the hideous innovationwas that the orthodox fashions of 1851were almost equally ugly, the skirt beingstuck out balloon-wise over half a dozen ormore stifflystarched petticoats. "My ownopinion," says the English writer, "is thatwomen's dress of to-day is extremely taste-ful and charming, and that itwill well bearcomparison with that of our grandmothers'girl days would, Iam sure, be admittedfreely by Mrs. Bloomer herself, who so soondi.ranted her suit of 'propria quae marl-bus'—or things proper to male."

A Diplomat's French.New YorkCommercial Advertiser.

Since Charles Emory Smith of Philadel-phia returned from Russia as Minister lieconverses inFrench with his Gallic friendswhen he meets them, ln New York, wherelie often spends a few weeks before goingback to his quiet city, his French is fre-quently used .in conversation. While hispronunciation has a slight Uuited Statesaccent to Itthe shrug of his shoulders Is theSimon pure Gallic article. -.. Polite conversa-tion in the Russian capital, he said, is car-ried on in French almost entirely. lien hefirst went to St. Petersburg he was quiterusty in his French, but by study and speak-ing itevery day he became proficient. Hedoesn't know whether he could make a po-litical speech or write an editorial in French,but he thinks he could easily say in thatlanguage that the Republicans will electtheir national ticket.
