The proprietor of a saloon near the foot of Sacramento street has a couple of par- rots that discuss current events from a knowledge that amounts almost to inspir- ation. Their opportunities of observation may be somewhat limited, but their vocabulary is voluminous, and these two vocalists of the emerald hue make things very inter- esting for the neighborhood. Their re- spective names are “Polly” and *Other Polly.” The former has enjoyed several years’ residence in Sausalito, and the lat- ter began San Francisco tife on the Bar- bary Coast. But the two birds from the social an- tipodes of each other have lived together in peace. Polly never caught the modifying adjectives from the Coast. Her vocaliza- tion was in the purest Hoboken British, and the long i in her “neither’” could be heard to Hunter’s Point. But the color of her Ylnmage was inconsistent with her social profession, and Polly’s talk of even Sausalito uttered with the broadest of Italian a's was heard and answered de- risively hy the neighbor parrots. “Other” Polly never got befogged among her aspirates, and a suggestion of cricket, lawn-tennis, rain-in-London and Kindre: dissipations never was heard in her speech. They would begin a discussion in the lingo ‘of their adoption, but a foreign lan- guage would soon be too slow a vehicle for their rushing thoughts, and then they would go back to their native tongue. Once launched into the natural mode of expression they would leave the point at issue, and issue another which gave them opportunities to be viciously personal, and attack each other's veracity, pedigree, taste in dress and social stanaing. “Qther’’ Polly watches for the policeman. He was the object of her life-long hatred on the Coast, Often as she hung in her cage in the Sailors’ Retreat she Esd seen Conboy disturb the progress of a lively | row and crack the heads of those who were ministering to her amusement. The sight of an otticer maddens her, and the angry words tumble all over each other trying to get out of her throat. At the sight of the blue coat Polly calls for the cook. Why that lady should be | notified at that particular timeis unknown. However, the bird was educated in Sausa- {lito. ““Other” Polly likes sailors and the sea-appearing people that go along the water front. Polly only recognizes the deep-sea man socially when under a snow-white yachting cap and in duck trousers that furl at the bot- toms, and preservesa silence when ‘‘Other” Polly’s old Coast chums roll in sight. The Board of Harbor Commissioners at | a meeting yesterday passed a resolution which permits grain' to remain on the sea- wall twenty days awaiting shipment. After lying five days on the front of the wharf the grain must be removed to the rear, where it may remain fifteen days longer. This disposal of the question was | found to be satisfactory to the merchants | and shippers, and was accepted by the board. The contract for rebuilding Pacific-street wharf was rewarded to the San Francisco Bridge Company, their bid being $37,449. This bid is considered to be very low, as the foundarions of the structure are to be of iron and concrete and put together in the strongest possible manner. | "D. M. Angier was_appointed a wharf- inger in place of L. M. Astier, whose time has expired. The question of charging the twenty-five | coal hoppers, owned by private parties and used on the wharyes, a monthly rental of $5 was taken into consideration, as a num- ber of the owners of the machines appeared before the Harbor Commissioners and stated that the hoppers were all idle and the proposed rental would be a hardship upon them. A Chinaman affected with Asiatic lep- rosy in its last stages was found sittin, the ferry waiting-room this morning. The unfortunate man was frightfully disfigured and could hardly move, so far had the dreadful disease progressed. At the Har- bor Police station he told an interpreter that he came from Martinez, the people of that place haying purchased him a ticket and loaded him on to the train. He said they told him the police of this City would take care of him. The steamer Washtenaw yesterday took aboard 3000 tons of general cargo and late in the eveninfiwent to Port Costa, where she will load 1500 tons of barley for Panama. A dispatch received by the Johnson- Locke Company states that the whaleback City of Everett arrived at Panama the 16th inst. | DESPONDENC AND DEATH, L. H. Shortt Shoots Himself in the Mouth With a Revolver. The Body Found In the Sand Dunes by Boys Out Squlrrel- Hunting. L. B. Shortt, a civil engineer living at 1416 Clay street and having an office at 120 Sutter street, committed suicide some- time Wednesday afternoon by shooting himself in the mouth. His body was found in the sand dunes, three miles south of Golden Gate Park, about 11 o’clock yesterday morning, by some boys who were hunting squirrels. The weapon used was an improved ham- merless Smith & Wesson revolver of 38 caiiber, the bullet lodging in the brain. He was about 60 years of age and leaves a wife. He has for years resided in Ala- meda, owning his own property and, up to two years ago, was in very prosperous cir- cumstances. Asa result of the business depression of the past two years many of his plans have miscarried, and, though in no pecuniary distress, it is thought that continued brooding over his lack of suc- cess caused him to become temporarily de- ranged. No direct evidence of this has been shown, however, by his actions or conversation. His wife, a lady of refinement, says he left their temporary residence, at 1416 Clay street, Wednesday morning, telling her he intended taking a business trip into the country for a few days. The spot where the body was found isin a most _inaccessible part of the sand-hilis, and the Coroner’s deputies found it neces- sary to unhitch one of the horses and drag the box containing the remains over three miles through the brush and sand. The deceased was 8 Mason of prominence and favorably known throughout the Coast, having been connected with many of the engineering enterprises of California dur- ing the last thirteen years. He carried a life insurance, the exact amount of which cannot, as yet, be ascertained. Charged With Perjury. F. B. Oliver, a commission merchant, was arrested recently on the complaintof Louls B. Monzon, a coffee-planter in Guatemala, on the charge of felony embezzlement. The case has been before Judge Low for several days and was dismissed yesterday. Oliver promptly swore out & warrant for Monzon's arrest on the charge of perjury in making oath to a com- plaint charging him with embezzlement. The trouble grew out of consignments of coffee sent by Monzon to Oliver, who failed in business. glcondzen was arrested and released on $2000 nds. MERCHANTS WON'T BID. The Association Definitely Decides Not to Compete for the Street-Sweeping Contract. The Merchants’ Association has defi- nitely decided that it will not be among the bidders for the street-sweeping contract this year. The action was taken at a meeting of the board of directors yesterday morning. The decision of the board is modified, however, to this extent, should the bids show by their figures that there was collusion among the bidders, then the association will ask that all bids be re- jected, and then, should more bids be ad- vertised for, the association will be among the competitors. In any event, the association will co- operate with the office of the Superinten- dent of Streets in au effort to see the work well done, no matter who has the contract. The association has submitted specifica- tions for the contract and has suggested that the approEriation be raised to $150,- 000, but the Board of Supervisors has to pass upon the specifications and the ap- propriation. A report was read from Ernest McCol- lough, civil engineer of the association, upon means and measures for the im- provement of the streets. It will form the topic for discussion at the next meeting. WHO WILL BE THE BOSS2 Local Democrats WonderWhat the Occidentals Will Ac- complish. Only Fifty-five of the 2500 Invited Attended the Meeting at Buckley’s House. There bas been a large amount of gossip among the members of the local Democ- racy since the meeting Tuesday night in Buckley’s headquarters in the old Peck mansion, on the corner of Stockton and Bush streets. As to poiitical consequences, looking toward the establishment of an organiza- tion, it was a fizzle. Fully 2500 invitations had been carefully circulated, but only fifty-five of those invited showed up, and several of them after gazing for a few mo- ments at the assortment of political incur- ables assembled, left. “Resolution” Spotts, with his whereases, being absent, Samuel Newman took the secretary’s chair according to time-honored | precedent. 1t was intended that Mr. Mec- Carthy of the late Grand Jury should pre- side, but ex-Supervisor Dundon assumed the chair. He spoke of the crying need for a genuine Democratic reorganization, and claimed that they must work from the ground up. He said that the most experienced lead- ers of the party had tendered their services and the advantage of their experience to the new Occidental Club which they were there present to inaugurate. His allusion to experienced and able but unnamed leaders brought forth vociferous applause from the lambs who had seen days when they were better fed. A few gointefl remarks were made by Thomas J. Glynn’s political manager, Ma- loney, on primartes as they used to be. Mr. McCarthy expressed the hopes that there would be no dissensions this year and that all would work for the common party good, and he strongly urged district organization. A committee was appointed to draft a plan and another to hunt up men who would agree to support it. Later wine and sandwiches were served and numerous toasts were given. The news of this meeting of statesmen had created consternation in the ranks of the already well-defined and numerously orted Iroquois-Popper division. 1 who are opposed to the Occidental Club and its votaries are waiting to see what their so-called district organization will amount to. It is freely predicted that itis and will continue to be a fiasco, and that the meeting would not have oceurred at all if the Popper-Iroquois organization had not so strictly observed the rule thus far that Buckley and Rainey people need not apply.

NEW IMPROVEMENT OLUB. The Western Addition Effected a Per- manent Orgunization Last Night. The Western Addition Improvement Club met in Coakley’s Hall on Geary street, near Central avenue, last night, and effected & permanent organization by the election of the following officers: James Bowlan, president; Richard 0.

A Modern Structure and One of the Best in the Department. UP TO DATE APPLIANCES USED. Miss Tarpey WIill Formally Organize the New Classes Next Mon- day Morning. In less than thirty days Eureka Valley will be in possession of a schoolhouse which will be easily the peer of any in the City. The building is sufficiently com- pleted to allow organization of the school next Monday, though an immediate vaca- tion of three or four weeks will be given, in order to allow the contractor time to put on the finishing touches. The new school is on the corner of Nine- teenth and Collingwood streets, with a frontage on the first-named thoroughfare of 135 feet. The depth of the building is exactly 113 feet 10 inches. There are three !Mayor Sutro will hold Superintendent ‘Weaver at the Almshouse. i As far as any definite news regardin; the police surgeons, City Physician an Superintendent of the City and County Hospital, there is absolutely none. The Board of Health has had several caucuses during the week, but the changes have not been decided upon. The board itself is mum on the proposition. Regarding the position of secretary of the board, Lawler, the incumbent, is men- tioned with very strong backing, but Gov- ernor Budd, before he left yesterday, named ex-Assemblyman Godchaux, and it is said that he will undoubtedly get the office. One of the most important positions next to secretary is that of plumbing in- spector. William H. Kelly has been named for the position and he is strongly indorsed for the place. He is one of the best- known plumbers in the City, and it is said that his claims will be pushed by Dr. Morse. He may be objectionable to the petty politicians for the reason that he promises that if he goes into the office he will carry out the sanitary regulations to the letter. The board will come together in a few daysand decide on all the appointments. e~ A Fraudulent Sale. The police are searching for R. H. Driedick- erson and Henry Ehninger, who are wanted on the charge of obtaining money by false pre- tenses from Joseph Lourecells, fruit-dealer, 13 Valencia street. Lourecella alleges that he paid them $1000 for a lot at Twenty-fifth and Dolores streets, which they represented as belonging to Driedickerson, but which is / RTL iy 4 THE DOUGLASS SCHOOL IN EUREEA VALLEY. [Sketched by a ‘“ Call” artist.} entrances—two on Nineteenth street and the third on Collingwood. In all there are eight large classrooms, each 26x34 feet, the whole having a seating capacity of 400. Four of these classrooms are on the first floor, and are fitted up with all the conveniences which should be found in modern school buildings. The windows are equipged with patent sliding blinds, while each room is supplied with the most approved ventilators and a receptacle for hose as a_protection against fire. In this respect -Douglass School -is probably the best prepnre§ of any in the City to combat the devouring flames should the occasion arise. In addition to the four classrooms on the first floor, there is a principal’s room and & reception-room. Corresponding with these, on the second floor, is found a teachers’ lunchroom and the library. The class- rooms on this floor are identical in size with those in the first story, the only dif- ference being in the use of folding doors as partitions instead of solid walls. Should the occasion demand. the entire top floor can be converted into a large hall capable of seating several hundred dpeople. + Each floor of the building is supplied with drinking fountains. In allthe rooms electric bells are placed connecting with the principal’s office. In the basement is the janitor’sroom and also a general store- room. The balance of this portion of the building has been fittea up for a play- | ground during the min¥' season. ‘The building, except for a solid concrete foundation, is constructed entirely of native woods, and will cost when completed §$25,- 000. The colonial style of architecture is closely followed, and the contractors, Doyle & Son, have succeeded in erectin, one of the handsomest frame school build- ings on the coast. Miss W.L. Tarpey is principai of Douglass 8chool, which she will formally open next Monday. NOT FOR THEIR HEALTH Several Appointees Are Men- tioned by Budd’s New Board. Lovelace to Get Levingston’s Coveted Plum—Oodchaux for Secretary. Dr. The members of the new Board of Health are very busy these days, but their business is not confined to their office. In fact, the least possible time they can spend in their offices, sad though it be to record, the better the men of medicine like it. Their doorsteps are barricaded with solid phalanxes of office-seeking politicians who all want the minor places in the gift of the board. To catch one of the board over the telephone one must transmit his card over the wires, and the pasteboard must be vised before it reaches the doctor’s hands. Governor Budd returned from San Quen- tin last night, and went up to Sacramento to make new books en the prison course. He deftly dodged the bands of politicians who were waiting to buttonhole him, and left the work of standing off the office- seekers to his new appointees. Before the Governor shook the dust of San Francisco from his shoes it was de- cided that Dr. Levingston was to be turned down for the position of Health Officer and that Quarantine Officer Lawlor’s suc- cessor was to be somebody else besides Dr. Mizner. Both Levingston and Mizner have anything but kindly feelings for the chief executive, but neither is saying anything for publication. To their {rien%a, tgonxh. th professional gentlemen are less ex- clusive, and no doubt the sinister aural ap) end'nge of Governor Budd burned a bright carmine hue all last night. Dr. Arthur Lovelace will be the next Health Officer, and the chances are more than ten to one that Dr. W. P. Chalmers will be the next Quarantine Officer. The latter place, it is said, was promised to Dr. Potts, who bad Barney Murphy of San Jose_ behind him, but neither Dr. Potts nor Barney Murphy ever consented to father the statement. Dr. Chalmers stands very high in the profession, and is not unknown to Mr. Murphy of San Jose. Governor Budd also knows him and thinks very highly of him, too. Friends of the chief executive said last night that while the Board of Health had no slate prepared Dr. Chalmers was almost to suc- ceed Quarantine Officer Lawlor. It seems to be a foregone conclusion that owned by Captain B. C. Creelman, The ab- stract and the deed furnished by them are clumsy forgeries. Ehninger has left the City, but the police expect to arrest Driedickerson. ACTON'S STRANGE ACTION. He Has Frank G. Woodward, a Capitalist, Arrested for Insanity. Judge Campbell, on Learning the Facts, Immediately Releases the Prisoner. The extraordinary case of a perfectly sane man being arrested on a charge of insanity and locked up in the Receiving Hospital after being booked at the City Prison occurred yesterday afternoon. During the day John B. Acton, a saloon- keeper at 2216 Webster street, swore out a warrant in Judge Camphell’s court for the arrest of Frank G. Woodward, capitalist, 2211 Webster street, on a charge of insanity. The warrant was handed to Policeman Harrington, and he went to Woodward’s residence and served it upon him. Wood- ward was not only surprised but indignant. He told the policeman there must be some mistake, but the officer pointed to the war- rant and insisted upon Woodward accom- panying him to the City Prison. He complied, and when taken before Sergeant Shields to be registered on the books at the prison he told him that some one was evidently playing a practical joke upon him. “This warrant,” said the sergeant, “charies you with being insane, and 1 shalln ave to register the charge against you. “Bat, my dear sir,”” said Woodward, “I am no more insane than youare. My wife is very sick. She is at a period of life which is critical. She has been subject to egxleptic fits, and when in that condition she screams with pain, which possibly made the neighbors imagine that some- body in the house was insane, I can ac- count for it in no other way.” The sergeant told him he had no other recourse but to book him and send him to the hospital. Woodward protested in a courteous manner, but answered the usnal questions and went with the officer to the hospital. Attorney Mack learned of the case and saw Woodward in the hospital. He imme- diately went before Judge Campbell, who 'was holding court last night, and laid the facts before the Judge. The Judge sent for Woodward and after talking to bim for a few minutes released him on his own recognizance. Woodward promised to appear before the Insanity Commissioners this morning and state his case, He promises to make it interesting for Acton, his neighbor, who swore out the warrant for his arrest. THE HUMANE SOOIETY. Many New Members Are Elected—John Partridge Resigns. The directors of the Society for the Pre- vention of Cruelty to Animals met in ex- ecutive session yesterday afternoon. John Partridge tendered his resignation, but it was not accepted. There were present at the meeting Jacob C. Davis, M. P. Cole, H. Lissak, Columbus Waterhouse, John Partridge, Frank B. Gibson, C. 8. Crittenden, Frank A. Vail, Max Stein, J. H. Mangels and F. A. Os- born. The following new members were elected : Mrs. Hannah leminJg.John Tweedgale, J. J. Edmunds, John J. Burt, P.Schmidt, Louis Werner, L, Barrere, E. H. Ehren- fort and Edward ¥. Delger, and Mrs. S. %. Whiting, Henry Jacobs, Fred H. Kuge- ler, Theodore G. Gruenhagen, Thomas C. ‘Wells, F. 8. Sherman and Alva B. Chute. The secretary’s report for the month ending June 19 showed the receipts to be §4185, and $3750 of that amount was from the estate of L. C. Wilmerding. The re- ceipts for the month closing Wednesday were $149 and the nditures $293, leav- ing a deficit of $144. It was reported that Bfigcfln had been investigated and 360 re- lieved, that number of cases involving 602 animals. The reorganization, which is ordinarily effected at the regular monthly meeting following the annual election, was post- poned one week. ——————— FLOOR PAINTS, bath enamel and house paints put up in small cans for family use in artist material department.

GRAND RECEPTION ARRANGED All the Marksmen Will Be Here on Saturday—A Brilliant Night . Pageant. Adolph Strecker, one of the band of marksmen who went on to New York rep- resenting the San Francisco Schuetzen Verein, returned from the East last night. It was personal reasons which called him westward ahead of his twelve companions, and on that account no demonstration was made by his many friends here. He will, however, be prominent in the festivities attending the reception of the entire body of marksmen when they arrive next Satur- day. *'It was a glorious trip that we made,” said Mr. Strecker last night in speaking of the eastward journey of the men who made such records in the Empire City, and who reflected such credit on California by their excellent work with the rifle. “From the moment we left here we were royally treated. Although a California resident. and wused to the hospitable methods of our State, I am free to confess that the New Yorkers who received us upon arrival left nothing undone which could have added to our comfort. “It was only after we had done such ex- cellent work Gefore the targets that there was any display of jealousy. It was not bitter though in any way. The weather was not what we are used to out here. It rained hard the first day when we first ar- rived at Glendale Park, but before the day was over it cleared up somewhat. There was a large crowd of spectators and the in- terest in the contests was keen.” Mr, Strecker made a great score in the first day’s events at the various targets. At the standard target he tied with two others at 46. At the ring target he led with 73, and also at the man target he led with 97. His feat on the man target was a duplicate of his good marksmanship at Milwaukee several years ago. In the San Francisco Schuetzen Verein, of which John F, Bolts is captain, Mr. Strecker is a popular member. It was suggested among his many friends that he be given a recep- tion, but Mr. Strecker himself objected and said he would keep in obscarity, as it were, until the remainder of the victorious band arrived from the East next Saturday. In speaking of the other marksmen Mr. Strecker said that each and all had done more than well. The record of Helms, of course, speaks for itself; but next, accord- ing to Mr. Strecker, comes young A, H. Pape, the son of one of the oldest and best known German residents, and brother of the Century artist, Frederick Pape. In speaking of the records made, Mr. Strecker said that in his opinion the West- ern men won, outside of their skill, by \mn;r'a superior gun. They were treated royally by the Winchester arms people. Aftera trip up the Hudson River they went through the arms factory and each man was presented ' with a gun of his choice. Mr, Strecker selected a beautiful weapon and with it hopes to make a world’s record. A meeting of the captains of the various local Schuetzen Vereins was held last evening at Captain John Bolts’ hall on Kearny street.

CHARLES HAMILTON FOUND The Companion of Unfortunate Annie Miller Working on ¥Fourteenth Street. The whereabouts of the man with whom Annie Miller, the unfortunate woman who is supposed to have committed suicide, was infatuated, seems to have been discov- ered. A carpenter, who represented him- self as Charles Brown, applied for work late Jast week at the Fourteenth-street electric power-house, now in course of con- struction. His description tallied in every way with that of Charles Hamilton, with whom Annie Miller had been living, and who engaged a room with her at the%t. David’s lodging-house on Howard street last Mon- day. Inquiry among his associates con- firmed the identity, and it was stated that he had boasted of his ability to keep clear of the officials. He has never called for his effects at the lodging-house, evidently fearing arrest or detention. It is generally believed among the woman’s acquaintances that she has made away with herself, as twice before she has attempted her life, once by poison,and also by anping from a river boat. She was about 20 years of age, and at- tractive in appearance. About a year ago she got into bad company. Brown or Hamilton positively denies his identity, though the officials” have little doubt and believe he will be able to give some infor- mation regarding the unfortunate girl, ———— Died on the Wharf.

Clark, a watchman, who shortly afterward found him dead. A bottle oonu}nlng some unknown liquid was by his side. The remains lie at the Morgue, awaiting identificatio; e 01d Friends’ Excursion.
