Just as the fiestas of Central and South- ern California are serving the exalted pur- pose of bringing the citizens of all sections of the commonywealth together in the bonds of friendship, State pride and in the spirit of patriotism and progression, so the festi- al of the barbers was intended to bring together the forces of the trade in social pleasure to the end that harmony may result and assure the success of the health- ful plans set on foot by the organization. The Barbers' Association is only three | months old, but it contains a membership of 250 and i$ continuously adding new_re- cruits to its ra object is the bet- | terment of the condition of the craft in a social and intellectual as well as in a busi- ness sense.

How a Good-Hearted Man Ran Afoul of the Shipping Laws. The Coast Seamen Landlords held an- other meeting yesterday afternoon and ap- pointed a committee of three to waiton the Sailors’ Union and the Shipowners’ Association with the end in view of bring- ing about a compromise on the strike. The secretary of the Shipowners’ Asso- ciation is authority for the statement that there will be mo increase in the rate of wages while the *strike is on. When the back of the strike is broken the shipown- ers will probably advance the rate of wages on lumber vessels to $30 a month, but the wages on colliers will remain at $25. Secretary Ernest A. Cox of the North American Commercial Company has run against one of the United States shipping laws through his confidence in human na- ture. In the goodness of his heart he ad- vanced $10 to a sailor and accepted an or- der from the latter on L. A. Rickoff, ship- ing master of the Shipowners’ Associ: ion. Mr. Cox not only has no chance in the world of collecting his money, but he stands in danger of being fined or sent to jail for making the advance. The follow- ing letter was received by Rickoff yester- day: Dear Sir: Bert Arnkil, who has worked for us for the last two or three seasons in Alaska, informed me this morning that he had signe! with you to g0 & & seaman on & coast voyage, per schooner Allen A. He told me that coast- ing ships do not now give any advance money to the crews, and asked me to advance him $10 to get a few things. I havedoneso, as I always have found Arnkil and his brothers to be trust- worthy young men, and I now inclose B. Arnkil’s order to pay me $10 out of his wages, when same are due. Will you kindly let me know (per inclosed postcard) when I can collect this $10 from you, and I will then send to you 1or same, as Arnkil told me you will pay off the crew. Yours truly, ErNEsT A. Cox, Secretary. Considerable amusement was afforded at | [Sketched by a “Call” artist.] inated and handsomely decorated last | night.

SCENE AT THE GRAND BALL GIVEN BY THE BARBERS’ ASSOCIATION AT B'NAI B'RITH HALL. the office by the receipt of the letter and the inclosed order, and Secretary Walthew sent the following answer to Mr. Cox's epistle: You cannot collect the inclosed order at all, On the contrary, under the ridiculous United States Statute of 1884, you have committed & misdemeanor and are liable to afine of f“) and imprisonment for six months for paying to a seaman money in advanceof its being earned. This may strike you as rather pecu- liar, but William Sanford, the bookkeeper of the Sailors’ Home, was arrested the other day for doing precisely what you have done, only his action was not 8o flagrant a violation of the statute as yours. Iassure you there isan ab- solute case against you and you could not pos- sibly escape the consequences should & com- plaint be made. It is unnecessary ior me to assure you that I shall lodge no complaint, but should the seaman, Arnkil, become offended at o nsklni for the $10 which yon so ldndlg urnished him, he could go before the Unite: States District Attorney, procure a warrant for your arrest and place you in a very uncomfort- able position, indeed. In addition to which, of course, he can keep your $10; for the order he has given you isnot worth the paperupon which it is written, and there is no way under heaven by which you can coliect the money. Your case {s notatall unusual. Down here on the water front sailors are playing pranks like this every day. I inclose your order and postal- card. Respectfully, GEORGE W.WALTHEW, Secretary.

Construction Com- pany, Behrend Joost, Fabian Joost and Gus- tavus G. Hurlburt. The suit grows outof theold matter of the construction of the San Francisco and San Mateo Railway. The Joosts were heavy stock- holders in that corporation as well as in the S. 8, Construction Company. The latter corpora- tion contracted to build the railway, and being out of funds applied to Mr. Butler {o help them out. An agreement was made under which he advanced $200,000, and there were hypothe- ¢ mpany, amounting to $400,000. The notyea (lvn‘:l igr the money have long since become past due. Mr. Butler a: that the pledged bonds be sold, and, after the costs have been paid, that he have of the proceeds $200,000, together with $50,000 attorney’s fees, which he alleges is reasonable under the circumstances.

Every one supposed “Frisco’s’ most fashionable tailor had made the railroad magnate’s suit, but it came from Roos Bros., who carry Rogers, Peet & Co.’s and Brokaw Bros’. tailor-made suits, ) G - Captain Appleton W. Stone was born on February 3, 1827, in Milbury, Mass. He learned the trade of millwright and carpenter. He arrived in this city in March, 1852, and followed his trade till October 23, 1865, when he was appointed on the police force. He was a patrolman for about a year and was then promoted to the office of detective. He con- tinued as a detective till December 9, 1875, when he was made a captain and assigned to take charge of the prison. He filled the vacancy caused by the election of Captain Ellis as Chief of Police. Although assigned to the prison he was frequently called upon to exercise his skill as a detective. T0 KNOW HOW TO' BROIL. Mrs. Emma P. Ewing Shows How It Is Done Without Gridiron or Coal. Brolling In an Oven Only Another Method With the Same Re- sults as the Old One. There were many of the 175 women who on Wednesday attended Mrs. Emma P. Ewing’s second lecture on scientific cook- ing given in Golden Gate Hall who realized the truth of the saying of the old German, “Das more I live das more I findsout das T don’t know somedings.” The lecture was on broiling and the manner in which the lecturer demonstrated how one can broil meats on a gas stove and without the aid of the old-time broiler and charcoal fire was a revelation. Speaking of the four methods of prepar- ing food for the table, namely: boiling, roasting, broiling and fr{ing, she said that were many improvements in the preparing of food, but that there area great many people, she was sorry to say, who live in the past only. are not. hnpfiy in the present and take no interest in the future; such eople do not take much interest in the gymenic method of preparing meals; they think there isnothing like the good ol style. “Now, for myself,” said Mrs. Ewing, “I think that there is no time so good as the present, but I believe that in the near future there will be a better time than we have now.” z On the uulhject ;)f tbroihlng.vd shie said that the principle in that method of preparing loodvis to geanhe meat, fish or fowl so as to preserve within each the juices. The article to be cooked —a steak, for instance— should be laid on the broiler or griddle and left there just long enough to sear the meat and then turn it over so as to sear other side. To leave it too long on one side permits the juice to escape from the other, and the result is a poorly cooked jece of meat. Some people, she sald, hink that frying meats is the worst way to prepare them, but she thought it was the most hygienic method of cooking them. Water, she said, boils at 212 deg. where the temperature is favorable, while oil boils at 606 Keg. When meat carefully prepared is dropped into a kettle of lard or of oil at a temperature of 500 deg. it is instantly seared and the juices are shut in. She then showed how she broils fish. She used a large baking-pan, in the bottom of which she placed a piece of Russia sheet- iron, saying it prevented the fish from catching on the bottom of the pan. Tak- ing a three-pound trout, split down the belly, she dusted the skin side with flo and then with a brush moistened it with melted butter; then she placed the fish on its back on the sheet-iron, buttered the upper side with the brush and sprinkled on it a little white pepper and salt and dusted a little flour over all. This, she said, would soon form a crust that would retain the juice in the fish while cooking. She remarked that it is objectionable to remove the bone from a thin fish before cooking as it had a tendency to destroy the flavor. She then placed the fish in the oven, the upper portion being a sheet of flame. Broiling with the flame above or with the flame below is exactly the same so far as results go; it is only different methods, the demonstrator “explained. The very hot flame was allowed to sear the fish, and then it was turned down orre- duced and the fish allowed to cook until thoroughly done. When it was taken out and passed around on a dish garnished with limes quartered and sliced it proved to be as nicely broiled as any one could desire. And the ladies marveled that fish could be broiled in an oven. A couple of spring chicken were then placed in a pan without seasoning or butter or lard, and when they were taken out they were of a rich golden brown. After they had been treated to a spreading of butter and seasoning of salt and pepper and served up with celery and watercress, they emitted that delicious odor that is notice- ag}a ‘when a young “broiler’’ is taken from the gridiron. i 18 not that smothered chicken?”’ asked one of the fair listeners. “Oh, no,” said Mrs. Ewing, ‘‘to make smothered chicken I would have had to put water in_the pan, but these chickens were put in dry.” Holding up one of these on the end of a fork she asked: “If this is not a broiled chicken will somebody tell me what it is?" The ladies all examined the fowland de- clared that it was broiled. A porterhouse steak was broiled in a grldd}le on top of the stove, and it proved to be as palatdble as any that ever came from over a éoal blaze. 'The meat was put on_without seasoning or butter or lard, and turned as_soon as the lower side had been seared. In that manner nota particle of juice escaped. Steak,she said, should not be turned more than twice; turning too often spoils it. 3 This morning Mrs. Ewing will give the third of the course of lessons, and it will be devoted to the making of pastry, an art in which she is said to excel. AT A DIZZY HEIGHT. Nerve Displayed by a Pole-Painter on a High Building. A house-painter, unknown to fame, was the center of attraction yesterday on Montgomery street. For several hours he hung between earth and sky on the tall flagpole on the top of the Mills building. The pole is used by the Weather Bureau ior i;]s signal flags and is fifty feet in ength. Itgis anchored on the edge of the roof of the building, which is 150 feet high. As the paint on the pole and ball had become dingy from exposure it was decided to repaint it. The painter, assisted by the ropes used for the flags, “shinned’ to the top of the pole. After making his position more secure by small ropes%e went to work. The pole was swayed by the wind and the weight of the man in a_manner which made nervous eople shudder until the job was finished. uring the operation hundreds of people stopped to watch and comment upon the man who was working at the dizzy beight. THE STREET COMMITTEE A Number of Thoroughfares Will Be Paved With Bitumen. Petltions and Bids Favorably Re- ported On — Contracts Awarded. The Committee on Streets held a pro- longed meeting yesterday, with Supervisor Spreckels in the chair. Much routine busi- ness was transacted. The following street ‘pavements were accepted : Leavenworth street, between Vallejo and Green, paved with cobbles; Broad- way, between Hyde and Larkin; Devisa- dero, between California and Pine, also be- tween Oak and Page; Montgomery ave- nue, between Chestnut and Francisce streets; Octavia, between Sutter and Bush, paved with bitumen, and Gloyer, between Leavenworth and Jones, and Devisadero, between Clay and Washington, with basalt. The committee rejected bids for paving of crossings at Collingwood and Eight- eenth streets and recommended that the engineer be instructed to examine the work of building a sewer on Lombard street between Hyde and Larkin. Be‘gardmg the petition of property-own- ers for the passage of an order and to make provision for the construction of a bridge over the cut at the intersection of Charles, Arlington and French streets, the committee reported in favor of the petition and requested the Finance Committee to rovide sufficient funds in the next tax evy for the construction of the bridge. he bids for the paving of Eighteenth street, between Castro and Collingwood, were rejected and reported favorably on the protest of property-owners against the ing of Francisco street, between Du- pont and Kearny; also against the con- struction of a sewer on California avenue and & change of the grade on Army street. It was decided to recommend the award of street contracts to the lowest bid- ders as follows: Grading the intersection of North Point, Montgomery avenue and Leavenworth, William Slattery, at 25 cents; sewer in Clement and Fourth ave- nue, James Gibney, at 79 cents; paving with basalt Page, from Broaerick to De- visadero, Williams, Belser & Co., at 27 cents.
