CLARK FAVORITE IN SACRAMENTO Confident of Winning Mayoralty Fight. DEMOCRATS FIGHT STEPHENS COLORED CITIZENS ARE ALSO UP IN ARMS. They Have Not Forgotten the Insult Offered Them by the Man Who Is Now Seeking Their Votes. Special Dispatch to The Call. SACRAMENTO, Nov.

Unless something: unforeseen happens George 11. Clark will surely win the Mayoralty light. Hacked by the most Influential men of the city "Gentleman George," as he is familiarly known to his associates, is making wonderful progress in his canvass for votes and according to the political wiseacres his election is assured. As an Incentive to win votes for htm his supporters have advanced the argument that inasmuch as Sacramento has entered on a new era of prosperity It behooves every citizen who has the interest of the city at heart to elect a young and experienced man like Clark to handle the reins of government. R.

D. Stephens, tho Democratic candidate, is steadily losing ground and his supporters are correspondingly uepressed. Iwadore Alexander, his chief lieutenant, has about given up the tight. The colored citizens, still pmarting under the gratuitous insult aimed at them by Stephens when ho was a member of the Legislature of 1870, are working hard to secure tho election of Clark. Last night they held an enthusiastic meeting at which resolutions were passed strongly indorsing the candidacy of the Republican standard-bearer.

Many of Clark's friends predict that he will win 500 votes, while others place his majority at 1000, Clark is so confident of success that he intends to rest, so to speak, until the day of the election. "I cannot see how I can lose," he confidently remarked to-night. Stephens is making a strong tight, but I think I have a shade the better of it. My friends are imWutlgubly in my Interest and if their encouraging reports continue coming In there is no doubt in my mind that I will be the next Mayor of Sacramento. I thoroughly understand the needs of the city and am in hearty accord with everything That tends to promote Its interest.

I have made a clean light, free from personalities, and have thus won the friendship of a number of men who had first intended to vote for my opponent. When elected I shall endeavor to run the government on strictly clean and economical principles." A large number of Democrats are opposing Stephens for the reason that he voted for Palmer at the Presidential election. They nre making a vigorous fight against him for this reason and are hopeful of encompassing his defeat.

LONG LIFE OF CAPTAIN BADGER EBBING AWAY Rewarded Years Ago for Bravery. Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 908 Broadway, Nov. 1. Captain Thomas W. Badger is seriously ill at his home in East Oakland, and but little hope is entertained for his recovery.

The captain is one of the best known pioneers of this city, and indeed at one time owned, a large portion of the territory on which modern Oakland is built. He Is an old sailor-pioneer, having followed a life at sea until he landed in San Francisco on the sth of August, 1849. For a long while he engaged in the shipping business in San Francisco, and had vessels trading all over the coast until 1872, when he retired from that business and interested himself in his public park at Brooklyn, East Oakland, which he purchased in 1861. Eleven years later he commenced building his great pavilion at Badger's Park, and after an expenditure of Badger's Grand Central Park was thrown open to the public. The result was an Immediate success, and his park, dancing hall, ten-pin alley, museum, amphitheater, menagerie, flowergarden and sailing pond were very extensively patronized until they were destroyed by fire many years ago.

One of the most valued possessions of the old captain was presented to him in 1858. It was a silver trumpet, subscribed for by citizens "in token of their high appreciation of Captain Badger's conduct on board the steamer Central America at the time of the loss of that ill-fated vessel." The steamer was on a trip from Aspinwall to New York and in rough weather was wrecked. Her captain and officers were among the lost and Captain Badger assumed management of the foundering steamer, which he kept afloat until relief came from a Norwegian bark. To his efforts was attributed the saving of nearly 200 lives. On arriving- at New York the citizens at once subscribed to give him a memento of their recognition of bis bravery, and he could just as easily have had a large sum of money as a silver trumpet, but he decllmd, although in the wreck he lost in coin which he had made in California.

Under tho administration of Governor Ilnlght Captain Badger was a Pilot Commissioner of San Francisco, and held the office for many yenrs. His large holdings have very materially decreased, and about two years when the City Council proposed to make some very extensive improvements near Badger's Park the old captain appeared before that body and said that if the Council were determined to carry out these improvements It would bankrupt him entirely. He closed a very earnest appeal by telling them that after he was gone would be enough to go ahead with the proposed work. HAS BECOME FAMOUS AS CHAMPION OF HER SEX MRS. CARRI.d CHAPMAN CATT TO SUPPORT SUFFRAGE.

The Able Lieutenant of Susan B. Anthony Here to Assist the Cause of Woman's Rights. At the California Hotel there arrived last evening Mrs. Carrie Chapman Catt of New York, chairman of the committee on organization of the National Woman's Suffrage Association, and Mary G. Hay, secretary of the pame committee.

The two ladles came from Oregon, whore they have been for some time past attending to the Interests of their Bex in the matter of the suffrage amendment now pending in that State. Mrs. Catt has not been here since IRWS, when she came out to the coast to use her Influence in behalf of the suffrage amendment In this State, which movement was defeated notwithstanding her influence exerted in Its behalf. Mrs. Catt and her secretary came out this time to attend the meeting of the State Woman's Suffrage Association, is to take place at Golden Gate Hall on Sntter street In the near future.

Mrs. Catt is looked upon as the one on whom the mantle of B. Anthony will fall as soon as that redoubtable leader relinquishes thn gavnl which she has wielded so long and so ably. Mrs. c.itt said to be eminently fitted for the position which she may so soon be called upon to fill.

Gifted with a charming personality, absolute fearlessness, a quick, bright mind and splendid executive ability, eomlnnea those traits with a carefully trained diplomacy and marked oratorical ability, snaking In herself a foe worthy the Steel of the strongest opponent that the opposite sex can put forward to do battle against the ambitions of the gentler portion Of humanity. Mrs. Catt was born in Ripon, in a ar which gallantry has failed to chronicle. She was educated at the State industrial College of lowa, in which State phe spent most of her life studying the science of law. During late years she has spent most of her time between Washington and California, though she has made frequent trips throughout the Union in pursuance of her work, during which tlmo she has spoken In ovep half of the States.

Mrs. Catt has a husband In New York who is a prominent business man. being heavily Interested in the San Francisco Kridere Company, the interests of which, In the East, he looks after. IMPORTANT TO HOMESTEADERS. Supreme Court Hands Down Decision That May Affect Many.

In filing a declaration of homestead a person must comply with the strict letter of the statute in order that the property may be protected from forced sale. This Is the substance of a decision handed down yesterday by the Supreme Court in the suit of R. M. Reid and wife against tlie Englehart-Davidson Mercantile Company to quiet title to their home In San lU-rnardino County. The case Is of more than passing note, because It brlnge out a point in law which may hava been overlooked by thousands of homestead holders.

The mercantile company recovered judgment in a Justice Court and Reid's interest was sold by the Sheriff under an execution, tho company buying in the property. Reid and his wife brought action to quiet title, setting up the claim that the land was protected by homestead. They won their case. In discussing the case on appeal Justice Harrison recites that the declaration made by E. M.

Reid reads: "I hereby declare that I am married, and that I db now actually reside with my family on that certain land, etc." The statute sets forth that a homestead not exceeding $0000 In value may be selected and claimed by any "head of a family." Reid In his declaration failed to state that he was the head of a family and the statement "I hereby declare that I am married" Is defective In not showing that he is the head of a family. In other words, "the Legislature, has prescribed certain formalities and conditions which are essential to the selection of a homestead, and which formalities and conditions cannot be disregarded by courts." The Judgment was reversed. VESTED CHOTH FESTIVAL. Hundreds of Mole Voices Massed to Celebrate Feast of All Saints, The Feast of All Saints wns solemnly observed last night at the Church of St John the Evangelist. A full choral service was rendered by the Vested Choir Association of San Francisco and vicinity, and so largo was the audience that every available inch of spacw was packed and munv stood in the aisles throughout the service.

McFEELY GAVE GOOD ADVICE TO HIS WIFE Divorce Follows a Harsh Letter. 4 Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 908 Broadway, Nov. 1. Therese C. McFeely Is now at liberty to follow her husband's' advice and marry again.

She has been divorced from James K. McFeely, who deserted her over four years ago. McFeely had no Idea when he wrote a certain letter to his wife from Vallejo that it would be used in a manner such as to make him pay her an additional monthly allowance. In this letter Mc- Feely calmly says he is tired of working for the benefit of his wife and three children and he prefers to blow his money in on himself. He suggests to his wife that if she doesn't like the treatment he gave her when they were living together she had better go and seek another husband and ruin his life, as she had ruined Me-.

Feely's. According to the wife's statements the treatment McFeely accorded her in the past is guch as would very likely induce her to seek a change. His chief pastime seunie.l to be getting intoxicated and beating his wife. Once he changed his programme by kicking her while she was attending to her baby, nine days old. On another occasion Mrs.

McFeely timidly suggested to her husband that it was not the proper thing for him to be running around with another woman and spending his money on her while his own children were going barefooted. This so angered the husband that he threatened to bring in the other woman and let her horsewhip his wife while he laughed at the pastime. Mi ely made no effort to oppose his will's application for freedom anrl she was given a decree, the children, alimony, counsel fees and costs of the suit.
