Savage yesterday, “the Twenty-ninth and Noe-street Club will make a request of the Attorney-Gen- eral asking that the club be allowed to bring suit In the name of the State against the company, in an endeavor to have the franchise forfeited. “The property-owners have raised funds for the purpose of carrying on necessary litigation, and as ‘they feel aggrieved owing to the fact that the poles and wires of the company obstruct the- streets with- out benefiting the community in the least, they have determined that at any cost the company shall fulfill the terms of its fran- chise. “The excuse of the railway com any is that the majority of cars on the Mission- street line are eleven-ton cars, and owing to their great weight the motors burn out on the last block of the line between Noe and Sanchez streats. It conld easily over- come that drawback, as it owns several seven-ton cars which could be operated without difficulty or extra expense.’” pr et e = Go to Bwain's, 213 Sutter street, and get a fancy plum pudding for Thanksgiving dinner.* —_———— Kloss Was Not Sentenced.

It is also understood that one of the jurors— Barron by name—expressed the intention of convicting Kloss anyhow. Counsel of Kloss was not ready to argue the motion for a new trial yesterday, so a continuance until next Saturday was granted, and these points will be brought out then. e THE leading oculists and professors us Stock” paper.

HOMAGE T0 EUGENE FIELD, Bab’s Panegyric on the Poet of Childhood and the Affections. HE WAS DEAR TO THE NATION. Men Counted Hard-Hearted Wept Over the Dead Poet’s Verses. NEW YORK, N.Y., Nov. 20.—It is a very miserable old organ—and the grinder of it is quite as miserable, in appearance atleast. I never knew him to be visible on a warm morning, but when it is chilly and everybody is shivering and has an un- kind feeling toward everybody else, then I hear the tunes being ground out, gnd sometimes I get up and look out at him. Always I throw a few pennies out of the | window, and he bows as if he were a knight of old, or a baron of high degree. Why? Oh, I don’t know. Sometimes I find the tears strcaming down my face when he is piaying a waltz—'Weber’s Last”—and there comes to me, as there comes to you, the memory of the days when I last heard the waltz and whirled around in time to it, and now when I hear it I wonder as you do, where are the old partners? Where are the old musicians, and where are the other women who found the music of the waltz fascinating. Just as [ am wiping off a tear he begins to play “My Maryland.” And somebody sitting near me says: “You don’t remember, but I do, when the soldiers marched through Baltimore—the captive soldiers—and we could give them a cup of coffee or a bit of something to eat when they halted, but couldn’t speak a word, for they were prisoners of war. It might be a brother or a father, but the most that could be done was to look in their eyes and hand them something that would stay them in their long, toilsome march, Oh, yes, sometimes we women broke the law, or the spirit of it. Ire- member the order went out that every- body was to put out a flag—an American flag. A young girl whose lover, whose brother and whose father were all in the Confederate army put out of the garret window a flag that measured two by four —not two feet by four, but_two inches b four—while out of the window of her bed- chamber hung what seemed to be a large black flag, which means, of course, sedi- tion. In half an hour's time the marshal of the city had come there to inquire. She said she was living up to the law; she had put out a flag, and pointed to the tiny one way up to the garret window. Then she was asked what she meant by putting out a bluck flag. She declared she hadn’t, and when the officer pointed to it she looked surprised, laughed cheerfully, and announced that she had only hung her black shawl and pinned it to the broom- handle out to air. This proved to be true, but it was suggested to her that in future she had better air her black shawl out of the back window. But that was fun, and all Baltimore laughed to thbink of a woman getting the better of the stern an- thorities. But thuse were sad days when women saw the men !heg loved, thin, hag- gard, tired and yet, all that could be done was to stand there silently, and offer to every one something to eat and drink. It is true that many a love letter was folded in a sandwich; that many a bright eye looked all the sympathy that it wasn’t permitted to speak. The organ is playin the *‘Star-spangled Banner,” and sud- denly it has come to me and my comrade that those days have gone, and that there is only one flag now, and that no women are as patriotic as the Southern women, and that, in their desire to have the best mun 1n the best place, even Maryland voted against the ticket that,in years gone by, represented Southern aristocracy, There is one new tune in the organ; it is what you would call common, but then most of us are.common, for 1 take it that common means being alike. Most of us are a bit sentimental; most of us find that the blood in our veins dances and our hearts throb when we hear some tune that in & way touches ns. Just now it is a very common_air—‘‘There’s Only One Girl in the World for Me”—nobody knows who wrote it—that is, nobody of any im- portance — but it touches you and 1t touches me, and it makes one of my neigh- bors think of some girl who meant all in the world to him, and it makes me think of somebody who—oh! well, 8o many are gone. The commonest tunes, the tunes of the people, are the great ones. Who doubts that ‘‘Annie Laurie’’ will outlive “Tristan and Isolde”? How can you 1magine a lump coming in your throat when all the instruments in the orchestra are clashing, and the singers are straining their lungs in their efforts [ to make you appreciate German opera? Nobody has to try to make such a noise when “Ben Bolt'’ is sung, Nobody bas to do that when any loving and lovable little song is to be sung; but, then, Idon’t think the world at large is affected by these very trying things. Mademoiselle Sharps and Flats, who bangs the piano five hours a day, just over my head would probably disagree with me and call me vulgar. Probably I am, but I never knew a poem or a song worth remembering that wasn’t what the analvtical writers or scientific musicians call common. Speaking of poetry, I must ask you to take off your hat, my friend, for a great poet has died, and in the presence of death we must be uncovered, Who isit? We only had one great ]goet in this country, and that was Eugene Field. If he had been anywhere else but in America laurels would have crowned him. What he has done has been to make men, women and children love his versesand love the man. You and I can’t doubt that be is with his Little Boy Blue, and while we are certain of it, we think of the littie boys and the little yirls who must bestanding near him, who closed their eyes forever to this world, but who, while thev were here, delighted in hear- ing about the Hushlbfi Lady from Lullaby Street, who came. clothed so marvelously with poppies that husg from her _heaa to her feet. I never knew Eugene Field, but I'love him as thousands of women have loved him, because of his printed works; those words which while they were in black and white, came as certainly from the heart as they did from the brain. Ifear the world at large didn’tappreciate him as they should, because his was a great soul. If you doubt it Fet the ‘‘Little Book of Profitable Tales” and read the story called “The First ChristmasTree.”” I have known men who counted themselves hard-hearted, men who believed in nothing, but who, when they read that story, suddenly found the tears chasing each othér down their cheeks and were forced to realize that there was something better here and hereafter, because one man told them so. That is a wonderful fancy about the little tree, more beantiful than all the rest, which was loved by the forest, and the pride of all the other trees, When it grew tall enough a great man came and sat under it, and talked, and cured those who were sick in body and sick of heart, and once its shade hid him as he wept and was unhappy for many days and many nights, forty in all. And then a rough crowd rushed in the wood, and, to_the horror of all the other trees, cut down this one which was their pride and joy, broke off its beautiful branches and shaped it strangely, and on 1t suffered that one who had come tosave all the world. And this was the story of the first Christmas tree as told by the poet. Then there was that story that first brought the smiles and then brought the | tears—but they were gentle, kindly tears. | And somehow. though the hero of this story, “Bill, the Lokil Editor,” was a drunkard, it'seemed to me that what was predicted for him will happen to the man who has just gone from us. You laughed when it was said that *'Bill got more good out of likker and likker got more good out of Bill than any man in seven coun- ties.” But gradually the laugh became a smile as you read further on now Bill loved children and children loved Bill, and the man who was telling this stor: said: “At the last great day when Biil stands before the great Judge, that Judge whose mercy we can’t comprehend, the little children will collect around him, my dear dead one among the rest, and they will hang on to him like the ivy does on a tree that has been struck by lightning, the singing and pleading little children.” And their little voices will ask for forgiveness. And what will the Judge do? Why, just what you or I would. He will say 'to the recording angel, ‘We'll noll-pros this case and take the nexton the docket.” It mayn't be quite right— Iam quoting from memory, but I do be lieve that when Eugene Field stands be- fore that great Judge, the pleasure that he has given the women and children, and the many times that he has touched the hearts of great strong men, will be counted, and his sins (I never heard he haa any) will be wiped away and the case against him will be nolli-prossed. God comiort those who bear his name and all those who loved him. As for us, we ought to thank God for giving to the world such a beautiful nature and for let- ting us know of one that brought joy to so many whose lives are barren and whose life has little joy in it. Sad? Not a bit. Why should any of us be sad when those we love have got rid of all the worries of life and are at rest? It is true that we may feel a bit lonely, but life is very short, and who knows what comes after? Did you ever try to think wiat sort of a hereafter you would like? You know yourself that you wonld feel un- comfortable on_golden "~ streets devoting you‘rself to musical instruments. I never could believe that the descriptions of heaven usually accented were anything but lovely metaphors. Just what itis go- ing to be I don’t know. Sometimes I will be an idealized earth; that what we love here we will have there, only all will be perfected. I often wonder about the mothers. To them their children are dear- est when they are tiny babies. In the hereafter are they to meet them as heart- sick and weary men and _women? You can’'t tell; neither can I. We only know that it will all be right, and here so much is wrong. Sometimes I pick up the New Testament and wonder if we zive enough attention to | some of the powerful sarcasms in it. The story of the prodigal son, for instance. It is repeated every day in the year. There is the son, sometimes it is the daughter, who day in and day out, year in an§ year out, works hard, sacrifices that which is loved best and gives always of the good which is earned by never-ending work. And there is the son, it may be the daugh- | ter, who took the inherited substance and | squandered it and lived a gay and joysome i life, and thought of nobody at home until | he was tired and worn and hungry and | thirsty, and wanted the good things when eappeared. Then he was greeted with love and given the best robe and made much of. And the son who had stayed at home and done his duty got nothing, and between you and me, [ don’t think he ever does, and I don’t think he ever need expect it. All that one need ever expect from doing one’s duty is the approbation of one’s own conscience, and the certainty that it will be taken as no more than we ought to do. We talk about sarcastic stories, and then somebody says something about the sim- plicity of the New Testament. And I smile. Personally I believe that the story | of the prodigal son was written to suggest to that unappreciative father that some thanks and some token of love were due to the one who cared always for him, and re- garded duty before pleasure. Then that parable of the talents. What does it teach but making the very, best | of that which has beeu_given us, and con- | centrating all our ability on the talent which we know is ours? Here is where I think parents are to blame. Some child with no music in its soul is forced to study it, and, in consequence, suffers tne ago- nies only possible toa child who has to play scales when he wants to be drawing faces. Another one is taught to danb and think ;Swedenborg was right, and that it | sketch when music is running through its veins and there is a great desire to make | songs for the whole world to sing. | Usually it is the parents who err there. I remember being sent to practice; of bein% i put upon my honor, at the mature a-e of | 10, to remain on the piano-stnol, and the ! consequence was that I read Dickens, | Thackeray and nearly all of Scott when I ! should have been practicing. I was truth- ful in the letter, but not in spirit. I sat on the stool, but I had my book in front of the music, and when I heard anybody coming I vpracticed the scale furiously. That was wasting money, and 1t was a bad reading of the talent possessed by one! small girl. Idon’t pretend to say that I have any special talent, but if T have it is not in the line of music. As I said before, I like vulgar music. Music that makes the heart beat and your eyes to grow moist. | The songs sung by the street boys, played | by the hand-organs and which are under- | stood by everybody, are the ones I like. ! You don’t want to know anything about | technique to appreciate a tuneful song, | with words about love and home—oh! no, Kou need only to be a livins, breathing | uman being—for these songs are born in | the heart. They are the songs of the peo- | ple, and among the people are you and your neighbor and Bas. ExTRA mince pies delivered to nearly nll} garw of the City for Thanksgiving.

Rebecca Painter is anxiously looking for Judge Hunt in order to see if she cannot secure the annulment of an order granting a change of venue in the case she is pros- ecuting against P. C. Van Buskirk. Miss Painter is suing Van Buskirk for $20,000 damages for false imprison- ment, he having had her arrested for al- leged extortion. The case came before Judge Hunt, and upon a stipulation that was signed by the aintiff’s | attorney, a change of venue to Fairtield, | much more_than car fare on the :‘l?ee;lg:mds, and it wiil be an impossibility to travel up to Fairfield and remain, there while her case is being tried. She is now trying to undo the work which her attor- ney agreed to. S e e AROUND THE WORLD. Professor Ardley Tells the Members of the Mechanics' Institute of His Voyages. Professor N. T. Ardley of the University of California entertained the members of the Mechanics’ Institute and their friends by telling of some of his experiences in a trip around the wor!d. Professor Ard}ey made the trip in a sailing vessel, starting at New York and going around Cape Horn to San Francisco. Thence he went to China, not stopping at the Sandwich Is- lands or Japan. The trip was taken some twenty-five years ago. His observations of California, wiich formed a large part of the original lecture, were omitted. Their nature was such, however, that their truth was ques- tioned by the Enclish press when they were first made public. The lecturer stayed well in the beaien paths of the tourist, but told interestingly those things he culled from his mass of notes. His reminiscences of Chinese Gor- don, who was his personal friend, were particularly interesting. Professor Ardley deliversanother lecture at the library building next Saturday evening. The subject will be ‘‘The Anat- omy of Expression in the Human Face and Figure.” The lecture will be illus- trated with original sketches by the author. —————————— THE whole family kept well with Jaros Hys genic underwear.
