Protection is also asked for the Ocean View disirict, and the Chief outlines the increase in the size of mains throughout the district. The committee, after the report was read, laid it over for one week’s considera- tion. THE BARBERS’ UNION. A Member Expelled—Preparations Com- plete for the Picuic on Sunday. The meeting of the Barbers' Union held last evening was well attended, it being the last one before the picnic to be held at Har- bor View next Sunday. The committee of airangements reported that everything is progressing satisfactorily, that great inter- est is taken in it by the two hundred mem- bers of the union and by their friends. In the afternoon there will be a shaving and hair-cutting contest, for which valuable prizes have been secured, there will be prizes for games, Samuels’ band will fur- nish the music and just before the ball at night there will be a display of fireworks. t is understood that the well-known horseman, ‘“White Hat” McCarthy, will offer himseli as one of the victims to be operated on by one -of the contestantsin the shaving contest. During the evening it was announced that George Aubertine was delinquent in the sum of §14 which he had collected for the union and had failed to pay overal- though numerous demands had been made for the same. On motion he was unani- mously expelled and the members notified not to work in any shop in which he may be at work. The following are the new_officers in- led for the ensuing term: H. A. Wolfe, president; H. Bernard, vice-president; J. L. Isaacs, recording secretary; I. Less, financial secretary; P. II. Hammon, treas- urer; Hugo Scheunert, employment secre- L. Beckley, G.

Michael Heverin Died Last Monday at the Home of His Daughter in Belvedere. Another of the pioneers has gone. M. Heverin, who was for thirty-five years at the head of the marble-cutting business in California, breathed his last at the resi- dence of his daughter, Mrs. T. F. Harley, Belvedere, last Monday night. He was 70 years of age and an old-time member of the Exempt Firemen. He leaves three sons and two daughters. One of the sons, Charles R. Heverin, is freight clerk on the San Francisco and North Pacific Com- pany’s steamer Tiburor. When Mr. Heverin went into the mar- ble-cutting business in San Franciseo he determined to make this one of the princi- He opened up quarries at Suisun, Haywards, Tehachapi, Penryn and Rutland, Vt., and also went into partnership with Tomasso adi of Carrara, Italy. He established steam marble works on Jackson street, and there a great deal of the marble work ed in the big buildings in this City was red out. His workmanship can now be n in the Palace Hotel and Lick House, and City Hall. For many years Mr. Heverin was treas- urer of the Exempt Firemen, and the old boys are going io turn out en masse at his He was 70 years old, and had een dying for three months with dropsy. —_— e -TO INSPECT THEATERS. Labor Commissioner Fitzgerald to Ex- amine Places of Amusement. Several times recently people have re- quested Labor Commissioner E. L. Fitz- gerald to make an investigation of the theaters in this City. Complaints have been made that the sanitary conditions of these places of amusenient are not of the best, that the accommodations for the actors and actresses are bad, that fire- escapes are lacking and that young ohil- dren are employed. As all of these fea- tures come within the Labor Commis- sioner’s field he will make an inspection to-day. Nearly all of the complaints have been received from people connected with the theaters, who say that the City officials who are supposed to look into such mat- ters are negligent. . Complete Tranquillity in Salvador. The latest telegraphic news received from San Salvador assumes that peace and good order prevail throughout the whole republic.

Alittle disappointment, a good deal of whisky and an intense desire to hold office, all im- pelled Wililam C.

He said he hed been j.omised a position by the Governor and because he had not been ap- P"'“"E" he was going to_do some shooting. A riend who was at 1's house on Potrero avenue, near Twenty-fourth street, told Police- man Harrison, who went to Ervin’s house to arrest him. kErvin was not at home, but was caught soon after on his way downtown with the gislol in his pocket. He was locked up at the Seventeenth-strect station on a charge of drunkenness and one of carrying concealed weapons. —————— Mr. and Mrs. Pixley Improving. The friends of Frank M. Pixley and Mrs, Pix- ley, who have been ili for the last two weeks, will be pleased to learn that both are in better health than they have been for several di ast. Mr. Pixley spent most of the day yes Ay nuluginn!qrqe chair upon the veranda oi his house on Union street. With the hel; of the nurse he is able to walk through several rooms.

THE SWATARA OR THE ADAMS, Captaln Howlison States That the Former Vessel WIll Be Fitted Out. Yesterday morning Governor Budd, accompanied by President Colnon of the Harbor Commission and Colonels Chad- bourne, James Sanborn, Vail and other members of his staff and Adjutant- General A. W. Barrett, visited Mare Island Navy-yard in the State harbor tug Governor Markbham. The object of the visit was to confer with the commandant, Captain Howison, regarding a ship for the Naval Battalion at the navy-yard. The party were received with a salute of seventeen guns, a Governor’s honors, and by the guard and officers in full-dress uniform. Aboard the Philadelphia, Ad- miral Beardsley’s flagship, the visitors were received with more ceremony and seventeen more guns. It was a warlike 92 Howard: also to the bad condition of side- walks on that street. The pavement was cut up in many places and crumbled under the weight of passing vehicles, This pavement has been attended to, the ruts filled in and the street made smooth— all of which has done much to remove the appearance of neglect which characterized that thoroughfare. 2 A sidewalk on the west side of the street near Stevenson, which had been below grade for many months, has been filled with concrete and in a few days will be ready for the public use. There are still other places that need attention, and now that a start has been made, probably the desire to make improvements will spread. ———————— THE “BLACK OROOK"” AGAIN. Demurrer of the “Black Crook Up to Date’’ Company Sustained. The suit of the “Black Crook’ vs. the “Black Crook Up to Date” was again in the United States Circuit Court yesterday. The plaintiff was confronted by the de- cision of Judge Deady in the case of the “Black Crook” vs. the “Black Rook,” but Attorney Chretien offered the orij manuscript of the play, and produced a brother of the author to prove its genuine- ness. Judge McKenna sustamed the de- murrer interposed by Attorney Hutton, however, and gave Leonard Grover ten days in which to amend his complaint. n speaking about the play H. D. Barras, brother of the author, said the “Black Orook” was first produced in New York in 1866. A burlesque on it called the +‘Black Rook” was written and produced at the Metropolitan Theater b{dtbe Mar- tinettis. At that time John Maguire at- tempted to secure the California rights to the “Black Crook,” and, failing in that, produced the “Black Rook,” calling it by MCELAUFLIN'S NEW TACK He Sues Fair’s Executors for Wheat Commissions That Are Lost. WILL DIG INTO MYSTERIES. Recelver Collins Says That Half the Commissions Were Lost In the Big Shuffle. L. W. McGlauflin cannot find young Bresse, his former partner, and make the latter disgorge numerous thousands .but he is determined to play even somehow, and with that end in view he instituted suit yesterday against Louis, the elder Bresse, and James S. Angus. The suit was brought against the de- fendants as administrators of the James G. Fair estate to recover $27,000, the balance claimed to be due tke firm of L. W. McGlauflin & Co. as commission for selling 204,000 tons of wheat for the dead Senator. At 25 cents a ton the commis- sion on 204,000 tons would amount to about $54,000. The suit is the result of the experting of McGlauflin & Co.’s books, which has been NAVAL RESERVE BOATHOUSE NOW BEING BUILT BY THE HARBOR COMMISSION. [Designed by Howard E. Holmes.] occasion, as Colonel Chadbourne wag- gishly expressed it. such as a plain Harbor Commissioner sees oniy once 1n a lifetime. After the gubernatorial party had been fittingly told to walk in and make them- selves at home the business of the visit was taken up. The old ship Swatara was boarded and inspected. It was readily seen by the least expert of the party that the vessel couid not be re- paired and completely fitted out as a cruiser for less than the cost of a new ship, If she is prepared at all for the Naval Re- serve she will only be calked and her hull made serviceable. 8he will then be pro- vided with a mew modern battery, housed over and towud down to this City and an- chored off the seawall. The ship is large enough to accommo- date all the battalion for gan drill and berthing purposes, and the four or five boats, with equipments, would give the amateur sailors practice at the oars, but | they would lose the benefit of sail drill. The Pensacola, another possible ship for the Naval Reserve, now lying dismantled in the stream, is too Jarge for the purpose, and the Marion, another choice, now lying in *‘rotten row,” will require an expendi- ture for repairs above the limit set by the department. The steamer Adams, now being repaired, is the only available ves- sel at the vard. She is a wooden sloop of war, 1375 tons displacement, engines of 550 horsepower, and when last in commission was armed with a smooth-bore 11-inch gun, converted into a muzzle-loading 8-inch rifle, a breech- loading 60-pounder rifle and four 9-inch smooth-bore guns, also several machine guns. Being bark rigged, her square main and fore sail, two topsails and two topgallant- sails, besides the forward staysails and studding-sails on each side, would afford the young reserve sailors mey of canvas practice. She would in all probability be supplied with medern rifles for a primary | battery if assigned to this harbor for the | use of the battalion. Of course, this detail of the Adams rests with the Navy Department, but consider- ing the fact that she is mot specially needed in the regular service as a cruiser | and the Government having more sHips on this station than it has crews to man them, it is possible that some arrangements will be made whereby the Naval Battalion will have the use of her for a practice and cruis- ing ship, although Captain Howison, in an interview with a CALL correspondent last evening, stated that the department with the small means at hand was more intent upon supplying arms, etc., than on re- pairs. In the East such ships are kept in condi- tion by the private means of the com- panies occupying them, which are gen- erally made up by rich persons having the interest of the reserve at heart. The Goy- ernment in this case is disposed to be generous, and will, to a great extent, fit up the Swatara as well as put her armament and accouterments aboard of her. Captain Howison further states that in all proba- bility orders will be received to put the Swatara in the drydock and prepare her for her berth in San Francisco Bay. The necessary repairs could be finished in a short time and the vessel towed down to this harbor. Governor Budd upon his return from the navy-yard spoke of the courteous treat- ment extended by the naval officers to his party, and their earnest desire to further ' the wants of the reserve in getting afloat, but stated that he did not think the Swatara ccould be made available for the use of the battalion in any event. “She is old and worn out,” said he, “and while the hull could be tightened up ana housed over and be made a drilling place for the young men, my idea is the Adams. That vessel being already undergoin repairs could be put in commission an anchored in San Francisco Bay with a small crew of general service navy men aboard of her. With her boats and sails, besides the battery, the boys could have all the drill necessary to make them what they should be—a naval reserve.” In a few months the Naval Battalion will have in addition to a ship, a hand- some boathouse at the foot of Folsom- street built for them by the Harbor Com- | mission. It will be “sixty feet long by | about thirty broad, and will contain a neat assembly-room, besides a place for their 30-foot barge. THIRD-STREET IMPROVEMENTS. Pavement and Sidewalk Being Put in Good Conditlon. Some time ago THE CALL drew attention to the shameful condition of the bitumen pavement on Third street from Market to | “big ranches'—and greater the former name. The rival managers took the case into court, and Judge Deady decided that they were only a grouping of figures in scant attire. The case will be fought to the end. DIVERSIFIED FARMING, The Relative Advantages of Large and Small Hold- ings of Land. A Mormon Who Has Supported a Large Family on a Twenty- Acre Farm. The almost universal cry of the news- | papers has been and is now that in our State there are too many large holdings— prosperity would ensue if they were divided up into twenty and forty acre farms, each one oc- cupied by a family. My observations have shown that he who can plow the best is the one who never did plow; he who can hitch up a team the best is the one who never did hitch up a team; he who can farm the best the one who never did farm practi- cally, but did farm theoretically. It isim- possible to beat such individuals on theo- ries. Theoretical farmers are always nu- merous in any State, and they seem to be abundant in California. The doctrine of smaller farms is gaining ground in every agricultural section of the world, and to a great extent diversified farming must go hand in hand with small farms. The Mormons of Utah have been and are now the most successful with small farms on the Pacific slope. The president of their church, Wilfred Woodruff, boasts of the fact that he has lived comfortably and supported a good-sized family for forty years cn a twenty-acre farm. The grower of strawberries in Los Angeles who made the statement that he paid labor bills of $200 per acre on his eight-acre farm and | yet made a good living has no use for the diversified farming idea., The hog-raiser of Tulare County who makes a specialty of breeding fine hoess and sells some of his best boars for $500 each, would not be justified in going into the strawberry usiness, but the fine orange growers of Redlands and the celery-growers of Orange County are sensible in confining their ei- forts to the twenty-acre farms of those and other products of a high and lux- | urious grade. The man with two or three | thousand acres must give his efforts to the production of such staples as can be sold in the world’s markets. The southern part of the San Joaquin Valley 1s an empire, and lands are so abundant and cheap that any one who wants a small farm can find plenty of op- portunities to take his pick. But what shall he do with his little farm to make a living? One such Flnce as that putina vegetable garden will supply any one town in this part of the valley, and if he under- takes to ship that kind of merchandise the transportation charies eat his efforts up. It does not seem to be a sensible proposi- tion to advocate small farms in this big, sparsely settled part of our State, and i doubtless other counties of our big State | are similarly situated. Some one says: “The small farm with its fruit trees and vines and perpetual meadows rotated with intense cultivation is the development of the future.” 1f builders of cities will establish one in the San Jouquin Valley of a half million population the farmers who live near it will see that the inhabitants will not go hnnlgry for any of the food products that civilization has created a demand for, but with no home demand of any consequence, and with a productive capacity in our soi] that astonishes the world, there is no nse in talking about diversitied farming and twenty-acre farms in this section of our State.. The man with a small farm on the outskirts of a big city is the most inde- ndent man in the world, providing he nows how to farm. Foranything he raises the market is near by, but his situation is not illustrative for us who are farming in the big interior counties of our State. Major C. J. BERRY. ... Elisee Reclus, the French geographer who was exiled for the part he took in the Commune, will soon go to England to lec- ture. undér way for three weeks past. Receiver Collins, who is acting on behalf of L. W. McGlauflin, has discovered during the ex- amination of the books and records that McGlauflin & Co. received but $27,000 of the $54,000 due them as commissions, and the object of'the present litigation is to find where the other $27,000 is and whether it can be recovered. Said Mr. Collins last night: “We do not know who has this money. We have learned that $27,000 is due the firm, and we want what is our own. The books have been so badly mutilated that we can get at f:uits only with the utmost labor and diffi- culty. “The notices which are furnished the patrons and clients by all brokers on the urchase or sale of wheat cannot be found in the Fair transaction. Neither can we find the office copy of them.” “Do you mean that the book of copied notices has been totally destroyed?” was asked. “That is just it, and its absence hampers our work very much.” ‘‘Are the notices themselves also de- stroyed ?”’ “I don’t know; we cannot get at them.” ‘‘Are they supposed to in’ Fair's office 2 “Yes; but we can’t get to them.” “Do you think they have been destroyed i the same as the book in which they were | copied in McGlauflin’s office 2 “1 could not say that exactly, but it is plain we cannot get them. If we had the notices and their copies we could compare them and our work would be greatly facil- itated thereby. As it is we have get torely on the main office books them- selves."” “Do you think the elder Bresse and Angus have the $27,000 balance in commis- | sions in their possession?” was asked. “The object of the suit is to find that out. If young Bresse has not got it, some one else must account for the missin thousands. The books show that 854,005 was due McGlauflin & Co. and that only $27,000 was paid to the firm’s credit. Isthe other half kept as a commission for labors pertormed by some one else? All those questions will have to be answered before we are through with the investigation.” “The experting of the books will be re- tarded by the very serious illness of the son of Expert Kirkpatrick. He was taken down last Friday with typhoid fever, and itis hard to tell when we can resume our work. I wounid say, however, that we have found nothing so far to cause us to change our original opinion. There has been some foul work done. ““As to Bresse being in Philadelphia,” remarked Receiver Collins, suddenly changing the subject, accompanying his jump across the continent by a quizzical smile, “I do not believe a word of the story. In my oginion that dispatch was written in this State. But be patient; we will have daylight on this affair before we get through.” MORE WHARF ROOM. An Hawalian Exile Permitted to Visit His Children Now in Hono- lulu. At a meeting of the Harbor Commis- sioners yesterday evening the contract for building an extension to Howard-street pier 3 was awarded to James McMahon, his bid of §1648 being the lowest. In a few days a suit will be filed by Mrs. Margaret E. Gruzzel against Alex Franks, her partner in the ownership of the schooner §. Danielson. For a long time the two owners have been at loggerheads over the management of the vessel, Mrs, Gruzzel being unwilling to have Franks, who is manager, send the schooner to sea without filing a bond agreeing to become respongible for the woman’s half interest should the vessel be lost. Franks entered into the agreement, but considered by so doing all the g;ofltn of the vofagn be- longed to him. Mrs. Gruzzel will sue for her share of the schooner’s earnings. Captain Anson Victor Hugo Leroy, who died suddenly of fatty degeneration of the heart at his home in New Rochelle, near New York, Monday afternoon, was well known on this coast over thirty years ago.

The Two Printer Boys Confess Their Guilt in Court. ‘Walter Steele and Edward T. Kane, two boys arrested some days ago by Private Detective Curtin on the charge of petty larceny, appeared before Judge Conlan yesterday. The boys were employed in a printing office on Sansome street and printed dupli- cate transfer tickets on the different cable companies and sold them to newsboys, who used them as an inducement for peo- ple to buy their papers. They would stand on Market and Powell streets and give away a transfer with a paper. Steele and Kane had a punch similar to that used by conductors for punching the tickets. They confessed to disposing of about 1500 tickets on an average per month. It was thought that they were not alone in the business, but were merely the instru- ments of some one else, but they denied receiving help from anybody. The Judge, after listening to their story, grdered them to appear for sentence to- ay. THE KOHL MAUSOLEUM. A Handsome Tomb Just Com- pleted in Cypress Lawn Cemetery. One of the Founders of the Alaska Commerclal Company Within Its Walls. The body of Captain Kohl was placed in its last resting-place in the Kohl mauso- leum in Cypress Lawn Cemetery on Satur- day afternoon. Captain Kohl was one of the original members of the Alaska Com- mercial Company, and was also one of the best-known men in commercial circles in this City. His widow has reared a most fitting monument to his memory, and the mausoleum which now holds his remains is one of the handsomest on the Pacific Coast. It was designed by F. Seregni of this City, and is a massive structure of granite. The mausoleum rests on a sloping hill just off the main road of the cemetery, a little distance up from the gateway. Ten steps lead up from the road to the base of the tomb, and between this and the richly ornamented bronze door are five steps more. The style of architecture is Roman Doric. Fourcolumns of Vermont granite guard the entrance, and four marble pilasters, mounted on granite pedestals, support the roof from within. ’Epne width of the facade is twenty feet and the extreme length of the mausolenum is twenty-eight feet. The bronze door is The Kohl Mausoleum in Cypress Lawn Cemetery. [From the design of F. Seregni.] ornamented in keeping with the style of architecture, and it is surmounted by a heavy transom, rich in ornamentation. On’'the panel of the door to the right the central figure is a vase for the ashes of the dead and above and around it are the Jaurels of glory and the palms of peace. The figure in the second face consists of two torches reversed through wreaths of immortelles. In the interior of the tomb are ten re- ceptacles, four on each side, one above the otEer. and two side by side, just opposite the entrance. In one of the latter the re- mains of Captain Kohl have been laid, and the other one is reserved for the partner of his joys and sorrews on earth. The slabs covering the receptacles are marble, and the panels inside the tomb are of polished granite. ———— The North German Lloyd Company has already voluntarily spent $175000 in the relief of the sufferers by the Elbe disaster, and is still engaged in paying out to those whose friends were on board the ill-fated THE OWL DRUC CO., CUT-RATE DRUGGISTS! 1128 Marlzet Street, SAN PRANCISCO, 820 S.

They hear of many patients who intend taking treatment, bt are putting it off until ‘times get better.” Procrastination is not only the thief of time, but it is the thief thatsteals away one's health. To procrastinate, to put off taking treatment when you heve a cough that weakens and re- duces you, cutting pains through the chest and back, lungs sore and threatencd with cavities, loss of appetite, flesh and strength, the appear- ance of night sweats, with di ty in breath- ing, is only to invite the thief, consumption, that will surely steal away your life. These symptoms are sure forerunners of consump- tion, and as surely advance from the curable to the incurable stage as night follows day if not properiy treated. Therefore take timely warn- ing; economize in some other direction than that of your health, for what is life without this inestimable boon—health ? The low fee charged by Drs. Copeland, Neal ank Winn—$5 a month and all medicine fur- nished free—makes it possible for every one to take at least one month’s course of treatment, and this is the only way chronic catarrhal an other diseases can be cured. They have demon- strated auring the past three years that first- class treatment can be furnished for §5 a month, medicine included, in all chronic dis- eases, and any patient whois paying more than this is simply paying too much.” They refer to over a thousand cured cases in San Francisco and vicinity, and to the testimony of well- known people published every week in the columns of this paper. THOSE ANNOYING SYMPTOMS. A CaseShowingthe Extension of Catarrh to All Parts of the System. The case of Mr. E. Nelson, who lives at 128 Ettie street, Oakland, aptly illustrates how neglected catarrh will invade the whole system, also the resultof treatmentat the Cope- land Medical Institute. Mr. Nelson says: “I suffered from chronic catarrh for more than niteen years. From & neglected cold my whole system became involved, and I suffered all the symptoms. My ears, eyes, nose, toroat and stomach were all affected, and at one time I was so bad that I went to a doctor for an operation on my throat. The symptoms were very annoying, particularly the hawking and spiiting, and it was impossible for me to re- main with any company for any length of time. 1 was troubled with torturing head. aches; my stomach was always out of order, and anything I ate caused me great distress. “Ihad read and heard so much about the Copeland Medical Institute thatI determined to make a trial there. I did.and now feel like another man. I can testify that the immediate relief after the first treatment was fully worth the small fee charged for the fuli month, and after a short course 1 was entirely cured. ~An: one desiring any further information regard- ing my case will be cheerfully recerved if they will call on me.” ALL DISEASES, The Treatment for All Chronic Diseases Is Only 85 a Mouth, Medicines Included.
