~THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, MONDAY, DECEMBER 7, 1896, WHERE POLITICS SHOULD K0T RULE Physicians Want a Com- petent Steward at the Hospital. Prospective Harmony Among All Elements Interested in the Harbor. Alameda County an Easy Place in Which to Conceal an Airship. Sax Fraxcrsco Carr,) oadway, December 6. | In a few weeks’ time a new Board of Supervisors will take office and, as usual, | there will be a change in all patronage at | the d of the board. While this practice will invariably be foliowed so long as public offices are not governed by civil service rule, it is to be regretted that some changes will be made which cannot be for the better and probably may be for the worse. It tated on good authority that the new ervisor who will have the privilege of dispensing the patronage of the Receiving Hospital will make an entire change in that institution. Politics can never add to the efficiency of a public hospital, but can be worked so as to very seriously impair its efficiency. There is danger that this will be done in this city. Under its present management the Re- ceiving Hospital has been particularly free from m of the little scandals and seri- ous mistakes that so often abound in simi- lar places. | he report has been made,and 1s undoubt- edly true, that the chief steward is soon to be replaced with a man who is a total stranger to the duties that will be re- quired of him. The person to whom this responsible position will probably be given is an undertaker, and many of the a g physicians of the City have signed a petition against any change being mads the present conditions. No matter whut the doctors may want, it is very evi- | ient that politics and not expediency will | e the appointment. But if an in- | nced man be placed in such a re- e position as steward of a receiv- x hospiial in a railroad town where acci- dents are naturally numerous it is not im- possible that the county may find some vy damage suits on its hands. Itis to event any scandal of this kind that the aoctors are working so earnestiy.

The stage of the Macdonough Theater and Supervisors during the past | veek have been very satisfactory to the | people of Oakland generally. Some at- tempt has been made to misrepresent the conditions that exist, but there is always areliable spasmodic element who are le to grasp the truth. -This is decid- | the case in regard to the estnary. | There is no doubt that the county, the railroad and both the cities of Alameda | and Oakiand, as well‘as the electric road, | bave legal rights individually, which all | the others are bound to 1espect, and the | monizing of all their requirements can y be done by intelligent conference. | This is now in progress, and there seems to Le little doubt that all these interesis, together with the requirements of the War Department, will result in the building of one large drawbridge, which will be a | material 1mprovement over the two un- | table wooden obstacles that now span the | nary. | Many of those who are skeptical re- | garding the existence of the airship are | frequently heard to remark that if such a | machine exists in this county it should be an easy matter to find it. Such people | can surely bave never been outside | of Oakland. = In Alameda County | five hundred men could operate air-| ships and be perfectly free from discov- | ery except by aceident. Onlya few weeks ago an electric inventive genius was dis- | covered on a remote ranch who had built | with bis own hands and without any edu- | cation enough electric, machinery to oper- ate a dozen airships, and it was only by | accident that his apparatus was discuv-‘ erel. A few months ago a celebratea ‘ banait named Phil Crowley said good- (morning toa Sheriff near Haywards and walked off into the hills. Many valuable rewards were offered for hiscapture and everybody who was out of work and who | imagined they had some detective ability | started out to hunt the bandit. At one| time not less than two.or three hundred men were scouring the hills of this county for a man who was reported as having been seen a dozen times a day. The bandit was never found and the detectives | rave up the hunt. In regard to the air-| ship, about the existence of which many are skeptical, no one has yet made a sys- | tematic bunt,-and yet those who honestly declare they have en it are being taunted because they cannot find it. | Srvart W.

At the back of the stage in an alcove was “a sweetly toned pipe organ, which formed the background to the many nat- ural decorations. In the fore part of the | stage was a handsome white. elk reclining on a bank of natural greensward. On either side were tail palms and ferns, and nesar a small tombstone on which were the words P.

The boxes were delicately hung with streamers of srhilax, and the whole scene was in itself a tribute to the artistic taste and decorative genius of the Elks. After the organ voluntary and the sing- ing of the Te Deum by the choir, Exalted Ruler Macdonough formaliy opened the ceremony.

A Haywards Lady May Die as the Re- sult of an Accident, ' OAKLAND, CaL., Dec. 6.—Mrs. W. Bel- lina is lying at the point of death as the result of injuries received in a peculiar manner last Friday. Some lads were playing football near Strobel & Nendick's place, at Haywards, when the ball was kicked over the high fence. The lads jumped over the fence to recover their ball, In doing so they caused thé fence to collapse. It was about seven feet high and thirty feet long, and | the whoie structure fell down. Mrs. Bellina was walking past the fence at the time of the accident, ana it fell upon her. She is about 50 years of age, and for several hours after the accident she was unconscious, She has been re- moved from the house to which she was taken to her own home, but her injuries are very serious and the doctors give out little hope of her ultimate recovery.

BERKELEY, CaL., Dec. 6.—A matter of vital importance and far-reaching in its effect upon football affairs at the Btate University wili be considered during the coming week by the student body. Colo- nel George C. Edwards, who has always been one of the foremost promoters of athletics at the university, has suggested that an executive commiitee consisting of three members—the director of physical culture, the coach and an alumnus—shall be appointed to have complete charge of football affairs, so far as training and preparation for the great annual game is concerned. - He does not believe that an advisory board, such as has existed in the past, is of any use wuatsoever, and that to be of service a committee must have vower to act. He says that such a committee would frame a consistent policy, and could see that it was’ carried out. Such a committee would be a repository of infor- mation and experience; it would not be too large to be effective, and could be trusted. ; This suggestion on the part of Colonel Hdwards is the outgrowth of a long-felt need for such a committee. Herstofore the management and direction of football affairs at the university have been con- ducted on more or less loosely organized lines, and it is for the establishment of a definite head that the professor has begun this campaign. It is his purposs to set footbail affairs at Berkeley cn a basis similar to that at Haryard, Yale and other large Esstern universities, where men are appointed with power to outline and to carry on the work of the entire aeason. Fainted While Singing. BERKELEY, CaL., Dec. 6.—Tenor Solo- ist R. F. Harrig of the Presbyterian church, while rendering a selection at the opening service this morning, was taken with a fainting spell and would have fallen pros- trate had 1t not been for the prompt action of his fellow-choristers. He lapsed into a swoon, and it was some moments before he revived. Quite a :cere followed his collapse, The audience detected a tremor in his voice when he arose to render his solo, but little thought that he would faint away. It wasnota case of stage fright, because the young man is accustomed, to appearing in public. He had been unwell for a number of days, and in attempting to carry on his part hxs strength failed.

Beneficial Results of Improve: ment Clubs on Realty Interests. The Total Numb:r of Sales for Novem- ber According to Magee’s Circular Amounted to $742.561. A steady improvement is reported. in the real estate market by all the leading brokers in the business. There is an increaslng in- quiry for ull classes of City property, and the only check to business is a difference in ideas as regards price between seller and buyer. ‘Owners, secure in their position, with the restoration of confiderce in all other lines of trade, are not disposed to concede anything to close transactions, which hang fire in conse- quence. The drift of the inquiry still continues toward the smaller-priced residence lots for improvement purpcses. There is not a great quantity of the larger class of income prop- erty being offered, and any that is at moder- ate price is soon. picked up. This, with the amount of idle money accumulating in the savings institutlons, creates a demand for de- sirzable vacant land which can well be im- proved with a prospect for falr returns upon the capital expended. If, as-has been sald, “speculation in real estate has its ebb and flow like the everre- curring tide,” brokers may certainly expect a swell before long. Though slow in some re- spects, San Francisco can boast of the energy shown by its real estate dealers, many of whom have been prime movers the past ycar in needed improvement enterprises. In this City they haye organized improve- ment ciubs whicn bave acted as leaders in the development of the suburbs and been the champions ot several measures of municipal reform, A number of the most influential men have giveu their support to financial enterprises of the interior of the State,which will eventually help San Francisco; the financial center of the coast. Improvements in City, suburbs and country go hand in hand, all tending to build up & great commonwealth and a great city, | and no class has* worked with more unity of ion or fidelity of purpose the past season than the real esiate brokers. The following is taken from the Real Estate Circular of Thomas Magee & Sons : “We have to report a decidedly improved condition of the real estate market. Thereis more inquiry and more sales, and a feeling on the part of owners that, if they cannotad- vance their prices, they shouid at least not take any less than existing low rates. Buyers seem to feel that though there has not yet been any increase of prices, there will be no further decline in the prices of any kind of even me- dium property, and that therefore the time for them 1o buy hes probably come. So far, properties worth $2000 to 10,000 have been in most aemand. Large buyers have not yet entered the field for the very best class of busi- ness properties, and indeed there is now, as there has been all through the past six and a half year's duliness, very few of the largest and choicest inside provperties for sale. The outlook on the whole is very encouraging, be- cause confidence has returned; without that, of eourse, no business can move. The total numbet of sales last month was 211, of the vaine of $742,561. “The’savings banks of the City granted 157 city loans in November of the total value of $265,070, against 71 City loans in OctoBer of the total value of $309,890. The Hibernia Bank continues to grant sll City loans at 63 per “cent, it paying the mortgage tax; the other banks charge 7. The demand for real estate being as yet only moderate the demand for money is not large. “For something more than three months preceding the election there was & steady and constant draw on the savings banks, the with- drawals by the depositors largely exceeding the amounts deposited. To meet this drain recourse was had to the reserves of the insti- tutions, which of course were sansibly reduced under the pressure. Since the 3d of Novem- ber there has been & stendy gain in deposits, but from the incoming moneys the banks have deemed it prudent to restore the reserves. They have had.also to pay the firstinstali- ment of taxes and it has been and is in order to make preparation for the payment of the January dividend. With these uses for money the supply available for loans on real estate has been limited and will probably so con- zln;ae until the dividends mentioned haye been paid.” REVIEW OF THE RECORD, There were eighty-two deeds recorded during the week. The mortgages numbered eighty and were for a total of $2561,300. Among them were the following: By Jeunie S. and F. D.

New Deep Sea Life. One of the incidents of the recent deep sea aredging expedition of the Prince of Monaco most fruitfal in scientific results wasthe capture of a sperm whale, It oc- curring to the Prince that the food collec tions of the animal’s stomach might in- clude specimens of creatures stillunknown, the ship was held near the whale till he died. In his convulsions he threw up a mass of fragments of very curious cepha- lopods, which were beginning to float away and be scattered and be lost to sci- ence, when the ship’s screw was reversed to create a counter current, under the ad- vantage of which specimens of two en- tirely new species, different from any hitherto known, were recovered. The body of one was covered with scales ana was more than ninety centimeters long. The other had a crown of tentacle-, armed with suckers bearing claws like those of the larger birds of prey. Birdeage Walk in St. James Park, Lon- don, was so called from Charles [T's ayviar- jes, which were situated along its southern side. ————————————————————— NEW TO-DAY.
