8 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, MONDAY, JANUARY 27, 1896 REALTY MARKET REVIEW, Many Noticeable Improvements Going on in the City Suburbs. INTERVIEWS WITH BROKERS. Energetic Efforts Put Forth by the | Residents of Outlying Districts. One of the most interesting features in the recent history of City real estate values | is the vitali given to the suburban dis- tricts by the enterprising co-operation of the residents of those sections and by the extension of streetcar lines, which has bad much to do toward inducing those persons seeking homes to push out away from business centers. The people living among the Mission hills have done much to enhance the value of their property and to bring it nearer to the center of the City by securing the ex- tension of the several streetcar lines to | Castro, Noe and Eureka the county line. valley which a few years ago were con- sidered remote from the business center, have been made valuable and populous districts by the energy of the residentsand property-owners The opening of the Joost electric road gave a great impetus to the Fairmount district, which lies south of Thirtieth street and cxtends west from Dolores street to the Twin Peaks range of hills. growth, too, was greatly stimulated by the extension of the Mission-street car line, completed about a year ago. The Potrero has not been behind in the march of improvemeni during the past year, and one of that section’s greatest wants has been satisfied by the better rail- way facilities throughout the district con- necting the territory, as is now the case, with all the leading downtown retail ar- teries. There is more hope just now for the Potrero than in a long time. The Folsom-street residents recently awoke to the fact that their vroperty has been decreasing in value for several years past, and that their street, which 1s one of the main thoroughfares south of Market, bas been standing still. By united effort they have secured an appropriation of ,000, the first step toward the rejuvina- tion of Folsom street from tide water to the Mission hills. The district south of the park panhan- dle and including Haight-street baseball grounds, subdivided some six months ago, has grown like Aladdin’s castte, which arose in a night, and what was an expansive waste a few years since is now a prosperous and thickly settled portion of the City. En- terprise of a good building character, such as this district possesses, cannot go on at a too rapid rate. The extension of the setilement south of the park is only a matter of a very short time. by all since the acceptance of the Sutro site for the Affiliated Colleges, the con- struction of which will be followed by the Sutro Library. The opening of these in- stitutions will lead to other improvements and serve to attract the attention of home- seekers and speculators. The westward growth of the City is rap- | ling up all vacant land in the West- | idiy fil ern Ad d; tion, and it cannot be many years before the overtlow will be crowding into | the area on the other side of the cemeteries 1ill further progress is stopped at the beach by the ocean n less than ten years Pre- sidio Height and a growth of chaparral, has become gne of the most sought for and finest residence localities in the City. Few districts have witnessed such a change as that experi enced in Richmona property west of the cemeteries, between the Presidio and Golden Gate Park; and the transition is likely to be accelerated by the railroads | extending their lines westward through the district. On every side the spirit of improvement is manifest. The property-owners of each section are vieing with those of every other district in an effort to_build up their par- ticular portion of the City. In spesking of the improvements south of the park, Wendell Easton said 1n a re- cent interview: One of th most important sections of the City, comprising an ownership of & number of prominent people of this City, lying adjacent 10 Golden Gate Park on the south, and west of First avenue, has received its due proportion of attention, and et this time is on the eve of quite _extended improvements. movement was made not long since by the roperty-owners south of Golden Gate Park, rom First avenue to Eighteenth avenue, which finally succeeded in getting the estab. lishment of grades, which has encouraged moderate improvements in grading of streets and construction of & few dwellings. The donation of Adolph Sutro for the Af- filiated Colleges on_Parnassus avenue, which is the extension of Sullivan street extending south of the park, has given an interest to the more important class of improyements and | will result in bringing to the official grade | quite a piece of land Iying between First and Seventh avenues and immediately adjacent to the park. This work undoubtedly will be carried on from Seventn avenue to Seventeenth avenue, and means the opening of important strects, | sewerage system, as well as improvements of a general character. The abandonment of the Metropolitan Rail- way is inducing the Market-street people to construct an electric line to take the place of the dummy line now on H_street, and without doubt the Tailway competition to the ocoan, now developing, will bring about the entire Teconstruction of tnis line. An improved elec- tric system, with quick transportation from the center of the City, with one fare from the | ferry, would mean quite an impetus to the sec- tion known ss the South Side. The Park Commissioners have just let the contract for the boulevard south and connect- | ing with the old Ocean-house road, which is 10 be completed by the 1st of May.” This im- provement will undoubtedly be the base line of improvements in the western portion of this section, and, all in all, it is a safe prediction that it will not be long before this territory | will be reclaimea from driiting sand-dunes and become a_desirable portion of the City for residence purposes. In discussing the developments of the Southwest Mission, J. J. O'Farrell last week remarked : The extension of the electric street railways in the Southwest Mission and the vast im- provements made on the Mission road have | opened up and brought into close connection with the business center a portion of the City heretofore considered tled by the working classes. The homes of the better class builtin this section of San Fran. cisco last season will run far up into che thou- sands. Since the extension of the Mission car- line & wonderful transformation has taken place along its course. An eraof street im- provement and the establishment of a park on this side is fully expected. It is evident that this district is becoming a more favored residence location. Since thead- ventof means of rapid transit, many people have secured homes {n the Mission and grati- fied a desire to live in the mild and balmy por- tion of the City. Speculation, too, in Mission property cannot result disastrously, for it is in ine with the certain development of the City. With a City unbounded by a iarge body of water or abrupt hills it is difficult sometimes to tell which point of the compass wiil mark the trend of the City's growth, but with San rrancisco there is no room for error. The property-own- ers of tne Mission have made a good showing during 1895, which it is expected the improve- ments of this year will surpass. “In looking over the appropriations of money for different parts of the City one notices a startling discrepancy between the amount received from a section for taxes and the returns to that district in the shape of either benefits or improve- ments,’” said J. J. McEwen to a CALL rep- resentative, and he continued: Take the southern part of town, for instance, embracing the region between Market and Channel streets, from the ferry out to Twenty- sixth, which is the oldest aud most populous portion of the City. It paidinto the City treas- | 2nd who received through their petition oné | solitary policeman to guard them. It | the site of the old | Thisisa prediction conceded | covered with sand dunes | A concerted | remote and largely sef- | ury this vear about $2,000,000 in taxes, and outside of the general care furnished by the City, that is fire and police protection, schools, ete., the only additionel fund set aside for its betterment is the insignificant smount of $1500 for South Park. In comparison with this_we have the immense allowance of $98,500 for care and improvement of parks and'squares in the other parts of the City, and this does not take into consideration at all the levy of about $500,000 for Golden Gate Par! While no one begrudges money honestly ex- pended for improving or beautifying the City, still all these benefits should not be confined to any particular section. The mouey derived from “each part of the City should be returned 10 it again, as nearly as possible, in benefits, and where there aro no parks and squares to beautify, the streets should be improved and kept in order. What the south side of the City needs, especially, is well-paved streets con- | necting the water front with the main outlets from the City. The cost of one proposed street | is only $10,000, and would be but a small por- tion of the money paid by this section into the Tax Collector’s office. The such as Columbia square and Holly Park, ¢an be allowed fo' remain for an- other year 'if this money is spent for a thor- | oughiare, but when the appropriation is made next vear an equitable portion of the levy | should be spent on this side, which is the most | populous section of the whole City. One-half | of the funds in the Street Department should be used here, in fact for the next two years | should justice be done the greater part of the fund should be used in tnis section. To show how thesouthern suburbs feel about the justice done them in the way the money is spent may be cited the disappointed Holly Park petitioners, who asked that $5000 be spent in reclaiming and improving their park, During the past few years the popula- tion of the suburbs of the Mission district in the vicinity of Castro and Thirtieth streets has increased wonderfully, and hundreds of houses have been built and many streets have been graded and sew- ered, observed A. 8. Baldwin in speaking of suburban improvements: The Castro-street Land Company, for in- stance. have expended pretty well on to $20,000 in improving their big subdivision in this’ section of the City, continued Mr. Beld- win, and it is this display of public spirit | that has caused the southwestern limits of the City to grow month by month and makea | pretty favorable comparison with other The growth of the | y in this direction has reached a point vhich a few years ago would have been con- sidered remote, and it now looks as if in a very short time Castro-street Addition will be coy- ered with houses. The streets have ail been graded and sewered and macadamized, and_water mains are laid throughout the tract. The petition of the Fair- mount Improvement Club for a boulevard across this addition to Golden Gate Park has | been granted, provided the Stanford Heights Land Company will continue the driveway | through their subdivision. In the agitation of ission residents for a park the directors of the Castro-street Land Company have taken the lead by reserving about eighty acres for recrea- tion grounds, on which it is the intention in a month or two to plant out 75,000 shade trees. Itis reported that at the next tax levy an appeal will be made for an appropriation to improve Fairmount square, which belongs to the City, and which has always been an eye- sore. Sunnyside, Castro-strect Addition and the Qistrict lying beyond are to_have a school- house. While the schoolhouse is being erected & temporary building is to be used. Educa- tional advantages will not be lacking from this time on in_this neighborhood. It was about a year ago that the citizens in the south. western portion of San&rancisco’s suburbs be- gan to make themselves heard, and they ha: ever since kept their district before the public. | Thomas Magee's views of the extension of the suburbs are tersely expressed in the following statement by him: ewspapers talk of the narrow space into which the hundreds of thousands of people of New York City and the millions of Londoa are | | squeezed, as if 1t were a solemn duty for us to | | follow their_example, and pen our people up like swine. They forget that if the people of New York were properly housed the city would spread over three times us much space as it now oceup We trust that it always will be | true that San Francisco covers a greater pro- portionate space than any other of the large commercial Cities of the world, so that we may always have elbow room and fresh ai Tolive in London or New York tenements is almost to forget what sunlight looks like or how fresh air feels. The people of San Francisco may be thankful that they have not been, and are never likely to be, thus closely huddled to- | gether. H. A. Whitely of the Real Estate and De\'eloyment(‘nmpnnv, when interviewed onthe Potrero improvements, gave the fol- lowing report: The past year has been an active one in the | | Potrero_district, many thousands of dolla | having been expended in permanent improv | ments to the yubl&c thoroughfares. Below is given a list of the principal improvements sccomplished, giving location, character and approximate estimate of cost of work: Indiana sireet, between Twentieth and Twenty-second. grading..... oo Twenty cond street, between Kenti 3 and Tennessee, paving with basalt blocks | suburbs of San Francisco.

Total.. -.$53,450 Add to this the cost of finishing the grading of Army street eastward to_Kentucky, and of street, from Nevada to Yolo, and Pennsy vania avenue, from Yolo to Army street, which work was completed during 1895, makes a total of over $60,000 spent for street improvements alone in the Potrero for the past | year. It is a very difficult matter to secure accurate and reliable data as to the cost of street im- | provements, especially when it is attempted to | cover an entire district for a period of a year, | but the above1s fairly accurate, and is below | rather than above the actual cost, as there may | be minor items and private contract work which has been overlooked. A nécessary and important work that has re- cently been ‘accomplished in that section of the City is the surveying and planning of a | sewer system in the district bounded on the | north Dby Sixteenth street, west by Protiero avenue, east by Missouri and Connecticut streets, snd south by the summit of the hills; | 2lso another sewer system in the district bounded by Missouri, Minnesota, Sixteenth and Twentleth streets. This work was done by | the City Engineer, in accordance with an order of the Board of Supervisors. By haying a comprehensive dreinage system established, property-owners will now be cna- bled to carry out many needed improvements, with a knowledge thai the work is being done systematically. Among the enterprising citizens in Noe Valley is Jacob Heyman, the real-estate | broker, owner of wfmn is khown as the Heyman Tract. During the pasttwo years the progressive residents of this section of the City have spent large sums in im- proving their streets and putting in sewers. “There is no reason that we should not hax | better paved streets, especially in the subur gsid Mr. Heyman in a recent interview, ‘‘as material is certainly plentiful and the im- provement to the appearance of the City would make it famous. Other eities have won fame through well-paved streets and boulevards,” continued Mr. Heyman, “and thore is mo reason why this City should not possess a similar reputation. ‘‘Preperty certainly advances on well-paved streets, and where the cost has been but 5 per cent on a lot for this improvement of the streets adjoining, the value of the lots has in- creased 95 per cent. Owners often object to the first cost of a =olid, smooth and clean pave- ment; but if they would consider that after a time the cloj fini and breaking up of sewers on account of the breaking down of macadam- ized streets through heayy rains and teaming, causing thereby a great deal of expense and snnoyance, they would gladly spprove of bitumen or asphalt, “Eight vears ago there were no graded streets in Noe Valley, but by continual agitation and encouragement and the impetus given by the construction by the Castro-street cable road and later of the electric branches from the Mission electric Iine we have been enabled to grade, sewer, macadamize and sidewalk the whole district. “Fellowing close on these im{trovemenu in streets and transportation facilities cottages Dbegan to spring up, and after awhile here and there a store, and land_which was before un- salable was in demand at better prices than could be obtained a few years before. ““The latest of such work in my section has been done on Twenty-fourth street as far as Castro, and before long simuar changes will | on be agitated on the strcets in the Heyman Tract. Ihave lately had these streets sewered and macadamized at my own expense. “The proper paving of the streets in any city should take place at an early date in its history, and is, in fact, necessary to any con- siderable degree of fame as a great city. “The streets of Rome, as well as the high- ways, were paved in an elaborate manaer. Portions of the ancient pavement of the streets of Rome are in use to tie present day, and the pavement of Pompeii remains intact. “The plan now adopted in all the European cities is to secure a solid foundation, varyingin thickness according to the amount of traffic it has to bear; this is done, where the 'natural substratum is not of & solid kind, by covering the street with a solid bed of concrete, having a slope from the micdle to the sides to throw off the water. On the concrete is placed the asphaltum, making an almost everlasting pavemert, and a comfort to both man and beast. The great obstacle in the way of laying really good pavement at present in San Fran- cisco is the necessity of breaking it up for the laying and repairing of water, sewer and gas pipes. The trne remedy, and in the end the cheapest, would be 1o have, in the chief streets at least, subways or tunnels for all drains and gipes which would be accessible without reaking up the pavement.” W. E. Pisher of Will E. Fisher & Co., had the following to say of Richmond’s growth: It is difficult to mention any one section of the City which has not witnessed a steady in- crease in the number and value of the im- provements which have been made during the past year. Perhaps that section of the City where the most noticeable improvement has taken place is that known as Richmond. Here private enterprise enforced by railroad extension and street work, including sewer construction, has worked a transformation. The 5 cent fare to the Cliff House has attracted many investors from among the renting class, who have bought lots and, erected on them cottages. We have a credit of twenty-six such; built by parties to whom e sold Iots in Richmond during the past year. The building and lean societies have given most favorable terms to their Richmond clients and the result has been that many have been enabled to build homes paying for them in monthly sums, very little in advance of that they formerly paid for rent. Itis safe to }\rc(lic: that more buildings will be erected in Richmond during 1896 than there will be in any other section of the City. C. H. Reynolds, whose operations have been largely conducted in the Richmond | district, is also elated over the prospect of better car facilities. He said last Satur- day: The completion of the Sutro line to the Clff | House marks the beginning of a new era for | Richmond. Property-owners "in tnat district | have been bottled up, as it were, with a go-as- | You-please steam car on Sundays half way out on D street and no car at all on Point Lobos avenue, was originally the finest driveway on the peninsula. In view of the n\rld westward development of the Western | Addition, I am surprised that the Market- | street Railway Company did not promptly comply with its franchises. As a consequence of its backwardness in this respect there is no telling how much this district has been re- | tarded. | For a short time past out as far as Seventh | avenue there has been accommodation by the Geary and Sacramento-street lines, but beyond theré has been practically no streetear service. As Sutro's road, which goes into operation on the first day of February, passes directly through the héart of Richmond, every man woman and child in the district onght to feel deeply grateful to him for the new road and new order of things. *‘Should San Francisco take a rapid | growth, as she is certain to do in the near | future, her suburbs would develop faster | than the average city, being bounded on two sides by the bay,” said A. M. Speck in | commenting on the City’s prospective de- | velopment. | A friend of mine living in a Western city continued Mr. Speck, had the relation of the ex; tension of city suburbs and real estate values, | emphasized to him in a way so impressive as | tobe the means of making his fortune. He boughta 1ot 1n an unimproved district and built a_small cottage, which wes occupied by | himself and wife. He worked away for a few | ears on an income none too large to afford a | omfortable living. Gradually houses began | | to spring up withina few blocks of him, and kept getting closer and closer until he found himself surrounded by a group of near neigh- bors. He asked one of them tne cost of thé lot on | which a newcomer's house was being built and | was surprised to learn that the said lotcost | just twice as much per £>0t 65 his own lot cost fim only a few yenrs before that. Thisset him to thinking—thinking seriously—and he taiked the matter over with his wife. He reasoned | that if the slight improvements and the street- | car line, which had recently come_within two | biocks, had caused an advance of 100 per cent | in five vears, why could not he move a little farther out and accomplish the same result in & vear by enterprising movements. IHe sold | and increased his possessions farther out, and | in less than five years he had made his fortune | by speculation in suburban property in a pros- | perous Western town. REVIEW OF THE RECORDS. The real estate loans made last week | numbered ninety-two, and amonnted to | $305,289. The following abstract from the | records shows the principal sums and the | security accepted: By the California Title Insurance and Trust | Company, $10,000 to Peter and Mary A.

There were 121 deeds recorded last week, and builders’ contracts to the number of 7, representing a pledged outlay of $32,042. MISCELLANEOUS ITEMS. Annguncement was made last Saturday of the withdrawal of Henry P. Sontag irom the firm of Shainwald,” Buckbee & Co., and his union with Georze D. Toy under the firm name of Bovee, Toy & Sontag. The firm name of Shainwald, Buckbee & Co. will remain the same, Mr, Sontag’s interest having been purchased by Samuel G. Buckbee, a brother of Spencer C. Buckbee, the vice-president of the firm. The event of the week was the auction sale of the Pacific Improvement Company property, conducted by Baldwin & Ham- mond, previously noted in these columns. The lot at the southwest corner of Market and Brady streets, 75x124, running through to Stevenson, sold for $55,250, with an if, has since been raised td $60,000, and con- firmed at that figure. Shainwald, Buckbee & Co. report sales as follows: Lot and residence, north line California street, near Scott, 35x13214 feet, $10,000; lot with two flats, north Jine Sutter street, east of Hyde, 25x87:6 feet, $11,500; lot north line Vallejo street, near Gough, 30x120 feet, $3000; Jot and improvements southesst cor- ner, 25x75 feet, ,000; 1ot south line Cla: street, near Spruce, 50x127 12{ feet, $4000; lot and improvements south line Oak street, west of Franklin, 27:6x120 feet, $11,000; northeast corner Sacramento d Walnut streets, 27:81/x87:6 feet, $2700; and south line Sacramento street, 112:6 feet wesf of Laurel, 25x107:7}4 feet, $1200. David Bush, of the country department of J. J. O’Farrell & Co., reports the sale of seven{l acres of vine and orchard land near Martinez for $7000, and 130 acres near ‘Walnut Creek for $10,600. During last week Bovee, Toy & Co, el- fected the sale of 250 acres more of the MacMahon ranch of Yolo County. | pass him in order of promotion. | tem is said to be productive of the best re- | sults, as it requires study and intelligence ARMY AND NAVY HOTES, Dynamite Guns Successfully Handled by the Fifth Artillery.~ THE BATTLE - SHIP OREGON. Battery of Eight-Inch Rifles in Posi- tion—The Ship Could Fight on Short Notice. Sentinels night and day now guard the pneumatic or dynamite battery at the Pre- sidio. Some months ago General Graham, commanding the post, was criticized by one of the City dailies for not having a guard posted at the guns. At tbat time the guns and plant belonged to the con- structors, a New York electrical company, and General Graham had noright whatever to make a detail of United States troops to guard the private property. Since then the guns and plant have been accepted by the Government and formally placed in the hands of the commandant of the gar- rison. Last Friday Generat Graham, accompan- ied by the officers of the Fifth Artillery stationed at the Presidio, worked the plant successfully. The steem engine which generates power and electrical dynamos which manipulate the guns were put in operation and a drill of instruction fol- lowed. Officers and enlisted men will be in- structed in handling the plant from time to time until the apparatus for charging the | chambers with compreSsed air, adjusting the guns and placing the shellsin position, can be as well operated by the soldiers as by the contractors. It is fortunate for the service that the dynamite guns are placed in_the hands of a body of men intelligent and progressive. In this regard it is doubtful if the ¥ifth Artillery, as a regimental organization, embracing commissioned officers and en- listed meun, has its superior in the United | States army. The examining board has held frequent sessions at the Presidio during the past three weeks, and many officers listea for promotion have been before the board for examination. The form of examination, embracing questions to_be answered and problems to be solved. is laia down by the department. The board applies the rule and reports the result. If an officer fails to pass the ordeal he is given one year’s time to make another effort, and then, if he fails the second time, the wide world is open to him outside of the army. In the vear’s time between the first and second examinations successful candidates may The sys- Ilpon tha part of young officers to keep in ine. The peace theories of the service are beautiful, but when war comes many of the systems are upset. Frequently it happens that soldiers dull at their books and laggard at mathematics display qualities of sagacity, tenacity and enter- prise on the field that cast in the shade the achievements of the ‘‘bookish’’ men in the army. A general court-martial, consisting of the following oflicers, was convened at the Presidio January 22: Major John A. Dar- ling, Fiith Artillery; Cfllltlin James Lockett, Fourth Artillery; Captain John McCleilan, Fifth Artillery; First Lieuten- ant Alexander T. Dean, Fourth Cavalry; First Lieutenant John D. Miley, Fifth Ar- tillery; First Lientenant Nathaniel F. Mc- Clure, Fifth Cavalry; Second Lieutenant Wilmot E. Ellis, Fifth Artillery; Second Lieutenant Thomas W. Winston, Fifth Artillery; Second Lieutenant Louis R. Burgess, Fifth Artillery; First Lieutenant John A. Lockwooe advocate. Sometimes it will happen that a few hard cases will get into the best regiments of the service. Assumed names may be given and false records presented to the recruiting officer. It is known that several tough custom- ers got into Battery A, Fifth Artillery, and it is now the purpose of the com- manding officer to get them out. Two have been tried by court-martial and dis- missed from the service. Others will be tried and, if found guilty, expelled. A board of medical officers, consisting of Major Benjamin F. Pope, surgeon; Major Joseph B. Girard, surgeon, and irst Lientenant Charles E. B, Flagg, as- sistant surgeon, was convened at Angel Island January 24, Dr. Ireland, U. S. A, arrived from Fort Stanton, N. Mex., last Thursday, and went on duty at Benicia. The post at Fort Stanton has been abandoned. Barracks No. 2 of the double-brick row at the Presidio is now ready to receive troops. Work on the superstructure of the new steel wharf at the Presidio is under way. Owing to the recent stormy weather build- ing operations have been delayed. The canteen at Alcatraz yields a divi- dend of $2 per quarter to every enlisted man at the post. The articles sold are cbarged at but a slight advance over actual cost. . Many army officers stationed here are inclined to credit the statements tele- graphed from Washington that an appli- cation on the part of Colonel Crofton, Fei(- teenth Infantry, for retirement would be acceptable to the department. Colonel Crofton is not a West Point graduate. Early in 1861 political influence in Wash- ington procured him a captain’s comm sion in the United States army. Heisa native of England or Ireland, and prob- ably had some youthful experience in the British service before he came to the United States, He did not gain distinc- tion or promotion during the war, but be- ing in the regulararmy, promotion in nat- ural order since gave him rank as colonel. It requires a pretty firm grasp to handle a regiment of troops, especially when the command is stationed near a large city. The Fifteenth, since it has been stationed at Fort Sheridan, Chicago,” has supplied several scandals, including one homicide, Officers assert that a firm man is required at the head of that regiment. _Lieutenant-Commander James W. Car- lin, U. 8. N, left San Francisco last even- ing for a visit to relatives in Carthage. IIL, ard St. Louis, Mo. Mr, Carlin was one of the heroes of the Vandalia in the great hurricane at Apia, Samoa, some years ago, and gained the recognition of Congress for his heroism and coolness un- der great peril. For the past three years he has served on the Monterey, but~ will probably be assigned to duty on the Inde- pendence at the expiration of his leave of absence. The battle-ship Oregon is now equipped with her battery of eight-inch rifles, and is ready to receive the thirteen-inch guns. In agreat emergency the Oregon could be vlaced in fighting trim within three weeks’ time. The thirteen-inch guns could not be placed in position for effective use within that time, but the ship could make a good fight with her eight-inch guns should her presence in action be de- %mged. The Oregon is at the Union Iron orks, CASTRO OF CASTROVILLE = A Young Dressmaker Arrested for Stealing $700 From Him. Stephen Castro, agent for Wells, Fargo & Qo. at Castroville, had an unpleasant ex- berience with Nellie Murphy, a young dressmaker, early Saturday morning. He was a guest at the Golden West Hotel and Friday night he started out to take in the sights. About 2 o’clock Saturday morning he met Nellie on Grant. avenue, between Bush and Sutter streets, anc the 2 / , Fourth Cavalry, judge two visited several saloons. Then Nellie took him to the hotel and left him. Castro on Saturday morning reported to the police that when he met Nellie he had about $1100 in his pocket and after she had leit him he found that $700 Wwas missing and he blamed her for stealing it from him. Detective Gibson and Policeman Clarke were detailed on the case and on Saturday night they arrested Nellie and a female companion_ at 514 Pine street. They were taken to the City Prison and yesterday | morning Castro identifiea Nellie as the woman who was with him. She was also identified by several saloon-keepers and barkeepers who saw her and Castro together. She was booked for grand larceny and her companion was released from custody. The monrey has not been recovered. ————— Degrees for Women. There seems to be some probability that the admission of women tc degrees at Ox- ford and Cambridge is within measurable distance. At least, movement in this di- rection has been made.of late and is still being made at Oxford, and if one univer- sity is sensible enough to make this educa- tional advance, the other can scarcely fail to follow suit. There is nothing, one would imagine, to be said against such a step, for it is manifestly absurd to permit women to compete with men for a prize, 50 to say, and then, when they win, deny it to them because of their sex.—lady’s Pictorial. ————— A church in Sedalia, Mo., has female ushers for the evening services.
