(7 Tt A\ Improvement Club. LIT LAMPS AND BURNED BED FIRE All Larkin Street Cele- brated Its New Found Splendor. Eusiness Men in Line With Bands and Wagons and Bunting. Some cf the Decorations in Honor of the V ctory Over Dark- ness. Bathed in a flood of crimson light from wagons carrying a plentiful supply of red fire, with Roman candles shooting toward the sky and bursting into glaring radi- ance, with the band playing martial airs and thousands of people elbowing and josiling one anotherin a determined at- tem pt to reach the best point of vantage to view the scene, the celebration of Laikin street’s new system of arc lights was inaugurated. It was a great occaxion for rejoicing, and the merctants and tradesmen along that thoroughfare did not neglect it. Itmeant for them a new era in business, and they realized it to the utmost. Early in the evening the lights were turned op, and at once what before had been a street enveloped in semi-darkness was changed into a modern line of trade. " The brilliancy was contagious; everybody was laughing and gav. “What's the matter with Larkin street?” It was the shrill yell of a proud urchin astride tiie crosspiece of the telegraph-pole in front of Dr. Ed Bill's drugstore. Amid a chorus of auswering yells to the effect * that “Larkin street’s all right” the pro- cession, which had formec at the inter- section of Larkin and Sufter streets, the northern exiremity of the string of arc lights, got under way and started south- ward. When the first strains of the band burst upon ine ear of the vast crowd assembled on the street, tue effect was in itself elec- trical. Cheers rent the air, hats were to-sed up, and handkerchiefs waved. In brief, it was pandemonium. At the head of the procession came. & wagon filled with an indiscriminate mix- ture of youngsters and red fire. Everythingin the line of march assumed 2 -ruddy tint. Then came a buzgy with top iowered and gayly decorated with flags nnd Japanese lanterns, containing Dr. .. E. Hill, president of the Larkin-street rovement Club, and Secretary Charles 8. Jacobs. The buggy was closely followed by a large covered bus drawn by four iron-gray hor-es, contaiming the Letter- carriers’ band. The supports of the bus were w:apped with red, white and blue bunt- ine, and on each side was pinned a large canvas sheet bearing the inscription, “We Give You Light. Give Us Your Patron- age.” The band wagon immediately preceded an open carriage in which rode L. 8. Kohn, president of the Polk-street lmprovement Ciub, and wife,-and W. F. Kibley and wife. Kibiey is a prominent member of the reception committee of the same club. The next carriage bore L. Drost and wife and L. Quinn and daughter. Drostis the secretary of the Polk-street Club, and Quinn chairman of the executive com- mittee. The rest of the procession consisted of decorated wagons of the various business firms along the street who are members of the club. Those deserving special men- iion on account of the profuseness of dec- mann & Stern, Sandbeck & Co., C. A. Bantel and F. A. Reicher. As the procession moved along Abe | Kobn. dressed to represent Mephistophe- les, and Joseph McKnight stood in front | of Secretary Jacob’s candy-store and shot Roman cand.es into the air. The snme performance was repeated in front of President Hil's pharmacy by Thomas Dolan and Charles Ford. Tuese latter at times amused themselves by directing their aim at John Trapet's salocn across the way, and in self-defense the good- humored provrietor had temporarily to “shut up shop.” The vrocession passed up and down Larkin street, from Sutter to McAllister, these being the extremities of the - stri of lights, four times, stopping occasion- ally in front of some prominent club mem- ber’s store for the band to serenade. It did not disband till nearly 10 o’clock. The huge bonfires lighted at the intersection of all'cross streets burned all night. After the procession had disbanded the prominent members of the club were treated to a serenade by the band. Tnis[ did not cease till long afier midnight. One of the most novel features of the celebration was the decoration of the street. All business places along the line were illumirated with Chinese lanterns and enlivened with flags and bunting except one. That solitary exception was the liquor store of N. J. Holmberg, on the corner of Post and Larkin streets. Mr. Holmberg | was the only man who refused to subscrive to the lighting fund, and in consequence, by order of the club, the side of the light fronting his establishment was painted | black. So his place remained in Stygian | gloom, and any decorations in it would | have been “‘out of sight.” The most unique attraction to be seen along the whole line was in the window | of Secretary Jacob's candy-store. His | little niece, Rose Meyers, a tot of 2 or3 years, was dressed in tilks and satins, With a club badge p.nned on her shoul- der, and placed on a little satin throne in | the window, in full view of passers-by. The vicinity of that w:ndow was crowded constantly, and this pleased the baby so that she cooed like a turtle dove. The decorations along the line of march were most picturesque. | , Neilo Jessen, southwest corner of Sutter and | Larkin streets, had his piace newly puiuted | white, besidesan elaborate display of Japanese lsnterns and American flags. | 7J. Isacon, chemist and pharmacist, south- west corner of Geary and Larkin streets, had & display of electric lights placed in show win- dows and an additional coat of white paint on the front of his store. Reinhold Jentzsch’s saloon, northeast cor- ner of O'Farrell and Larkin, had a large dis- play of flags of all nations, with streamers and Japanese lanterns. | . W. Ricohers, northwest corner of Eddy | and Larkin streets, shone with a fine display | of Japanese lanterns and red, white and (A streamers from the front of the awning to the side of the building. Prosper R. Reiter, proprietor of a French liquor-store on the southeast corner of O’Far- reil and Larkin streets and chairman of the finance committee which coliected the funds | for the general celébration, had a fine display of bunting, Japanese lanterns and calcium lights in front of his store. Dr. Edward E. Hill, chemist and druggist, northwest corner of Ellis and Larkin streets, president of the Laurkin-street Improvement Ciub, had & most Jiberal display of lights and bunting. His decorafions were highly praised. Dr. William T. Kibbler, who has a drugstore on the southwest corner of Eddy and Larkin streets, had a fine display of bunting and cal- cium lights in front of his premises. C. 8. Jacobs, candies, secretary of the eclub, had sn excelient ornamentation of Japanese lanterns and wax caundles in his windows. F. W. Harrix, grocer and vice-president of the club, had a generous display of lights, flags and Roman candles. Snyder's icecream saloon was tastefully decorated. Oscar Moses, glassware and cut- lery, & prominent member of the clab and chairman of thelight commitiee, had a fine display of illuminations. A. Newmark’s piumbing establishment, M. Wolf’s tailor-shop and Mrs. G. Falkner’s corset factory were well decorated. A. Lewis & Brother, picture frames and moldings, and Mark Blum, cream and milk, were well to the front.

LUCK Considered Danger=- ous. coffee parlor; or; Mangel's The Shooting Was Eatire'y Uapro- vcked as Several Witnesses Will Testify. Jake Rudolph appeared in Judge Joach- imsen’s court yesterday to answer a charge of assault to murder. At the request of his attorney a continuance was granted for one week. Accoraing to Henry N, Laskey, who was with Harry E. Leslie at the time he was shot by Rudolph, the shooting was en- tirely unprovoked. Laskey made a state- m ent to the police yesterday. He said he and Leslie were standing about midnight at Sixteenth and Valen- cia streets when Rudolph accosted them. He introduced himself and invited them into a restsurant to have a drink. They each had whisky and Rudolph, who was under the influence of liquor, took a big drink. Asthey left the restaurant three young girls, withoat their hats on, passed them and they spoke to Laskey. They all walked to Fifieenth and Mis- sion streets and sbopged at the corner gro- cery. Rudolph, Laskey and Leslie went into the grocery and Rudolph wanted to put up his watch for six drinks, but the barkeeper refused. They had the drinks, the girls remaining outside and Leslie carrying their drinks out Yo them ona trav. They then walked up Fifteenth street to Valencia, along Valencia to Six- teenth and up Sixteenth toward Guerrero. ‘When they reached Albion avenue Ru- doiph asked them stop for a minute and he would return, He was gone about five minutes and said he had to go home. The girls “joshed ” him a little and he got mad. He pulled out his revolver, and using language that is not heard in cul- tured society, he fired at Leslie, the bullet striking him in the right leg. Two of the girls ran away, and Laskey shielded the third till Rudolph walked away. Laskey then ran down Sixteenth street and met Policeman R. F. Graham, who had beard the shots. Laskey told Graham that Rudolph had fired the shots, and Graham started off after him. He went along Albion avenue and saw Ru- dolph crossing Fifteenth street, Graham called to him, * Hbld on, Jake; I want you,” and Rudolph stopped. Graham searched him, but could not find the re- volver. teenth-street station. At the City Prison yesterday Rudolph professed to have no recoliection of the shooting and said he knew of no reason why he should be arrested. He was visited by several friends. - A careful search was made yesterday by the police along the different streets near the scene of the shooting for the revolver, but it could not be found. The supposi- tion is that Rudolph gave it to some friend before Graham reached him. Leslie_was taken from the City and Conmsnflospihl yesterday to his home at 30314 Dolores street. The bullet did not break the bone of his leg and as a result the wound is not dangerous. e TO CURE A COLD IN ONE DAY. Take Jaxative Bromo Quinine Tablets.

President-Elect Wil'liam McKin- ley Sends the Organization a Message of Thanks. E'ection cf O.fic:rs to Serve the Pacific Coast Association Next Year. | The Pacific Coast Commercial Travel- ers’ Association held their annual meet- ing yesterday afternoon at Native Sons’ Hall, J. C. Eubanks presiding and A. C. Baldwin and A. W. Weill officiating as secretaries. Prior to the regular order of business Chairman Eubanks read. the following letter, received by him in response to a congratulatory message wired to Presi- dent-elect McKinley at the time of his election: i Mr. J. C. Bubanks, President Pacific Coast Com- | mercial Travelers's Association, San Francisco. | Cal.—MY DEAR SIR: I return my hearty thanks 1or your telegraphic message of congratula- tion. Yours very truly, ‘W. MCKINLEY. The report of the secretary was received and heartily indorsed. It shows an in- crease of forty-six members and one of $2000 in finances during the present year. The membership now is 353 and there is $10.000 on hand. The payments on death rates, including $500 entailed in 1895, when R. Porterfield passed away, was only $1000 this year, A. D. Simpson being the other waveler who pushed his way beyond all commercial limits, But §115 was expended trom the relief fund.

Davis was the sire at the associa- tion’s high jinks, held in the basement of the Native Sons’ Hall after the hour when all but commercial tourists had retired to bed last night. ; The worthy sire was assisted in arrang- ing & programme by H. 8. Morgentbaun, chairman of the entertainment commit- tee, and between them they managed fo get every talented drummer in the audi- ence to participate. Some few profession- als. engaged for the occasion, appeared as amateurs alongside tbe imprumptu stars that shot across the stage. Freda, a beauty from Honolulu, de- lighted her audience lor a few moments with the newest dances from the islands. She was almost tame, asit were, compared to *warm-belt” stories told by the boys. These stories were entirely “entre nous,” as Sire Davis said. He added, also, that unwilling ears might as well go outside and listen to the patter of the rain. Such stories as were told after that were enough, to make the earth quake with laughter as the sun goes down in deepening blushes. The attendance included several hun- dred travelers and their friends, and be- ginning to-morrow, as this migratory class starts out on the commercial bigh- way, there will be a new'epidemic of stories sprung on the unsuspecting country cus- tomer, Among those present were: J.

Re‘orms Urged in Police Court Prosecutions by the Civic Federaticn. Dairymen Iutend to Eliminate the Weakness of Human Nature F:om Cow Inspection. The most important piece of work the Civic Federation has on hand with re- gard to legislation is an amendment to the law regulating the appointment of the four prosecuting attorneys for the Police Judges' courts. At present those attorneys are appointed.by the Supervis- ors and have no judicial head. They are responsible to no person in particular, and it has been the rule that the basis of their appointment is political influence rather than competency. The federation is of the opinion that the groucuting attorneys should be appointed y the District Attorney. Then they would be responsible to him directly, and he, bein: a lawyer, would be more likely to be a better judge of their qualifications than the Supervisors, who are not sup- posed to know the law. The manner in which cases are prosecuted has been for a long time a subject of much solicitude on the part of the federation, which body be- lieves that justice would be more likely to be served by the rejorm which it suggests, It is understood that Samuel Rainey, who holds the destinies of the municipal Democracy in the hollow of his hand, is not in favor of this reform; that Mr. | Rainey is of the opinion that it would place too much power in the hands of the District Attorney, and that one-man poweris a menace to republics. Other people than Mr. Rziney, but -equally pure as politicians, are aiso opposed to invest- ing Mr. Barnes with the control of cases in the Police Court. They say the defeat of the proposed charter, which contained this reform, was a sufficient indication of the feeling of the people. ¥ Dairymen will be very much in evidence at the coming_session of the Legislature. Those of San Francisco in particular will be heard in most emphatic language. The recent scandals in conunection with the in- spection of milk and of cows supposed to be afflicted with tub rculosis have given rise 10 many ugly stories, some of which have been inspired by revenge and spite, and some of which are believed to be true. Dairymen believe that human nature operates in the case of cow and miik in- spectors all the world over, just as it does in the case of pound-keepers, constables and others, say in the benignted land of Raussia, and that the official who is paid a salary to inspect reindeer in Siberia is often tempted sorely to condemn healthy animals in order to make a showing for his money. They say that while the cow and milk offictals of the City of San Francisco and State of California may be as spotless ag the snow that dazzles the eves of the cor- rupt Siberian official, they are yet human, and that their discoveries of so much tuberculosis in so short a period of time is ?h'nou unprecedented in veterinary his. ory. The dairymen have united their forces, and will make a desperate struggle to be relicvegd of the ever-present menace of an inspector with a hypodermic syringe and a bottle of tuberculosed bacilli, gnaranteed to produce galloping cow consumption within twenty-four hours. They fear the present system of milk supervision offers too great a premium for blackmail, should a venal man be appointed inspector. . Ranchers who drop into cheap restaur ants on their visifs to town cannot help tasting the oleomargarine placed on the tables without any warning whatever that it is not what it 1s represented to be. They cannot find any notice anywhere, as required by the law, that oleomargaring is used in that place instead of butter. The sale of oleomargarine has made stealthy inroads into the market value of butter, and the dairymen intend to force the en- actment of such legislation as Will put a stop to the sale of a spurious article ander false pretenses. It had been given out that Rainey was suffering from lumbago and intended go- ing south. Nevertheless it is understood that he will attend tbe meeting of the Fire Commissioners this morning at 11 o’clock. Bishop Newman Will Preside. Bishop Newman will conduct services at the Central M. E. Church, Mission street, be- tween Sixth and Seventh, this evening at 7:30 o'clock, the service being the initial one of a series to continue there the week of prayer. Watch-night seryices will also be held at this church Thursday evening, commencing at 8:30 o'clock, the evangelists Shepard and Marshall assisting the pastor. Meetings will be held daily next week at 2 P. M. &t the same church under the direction of Bishop Newman, the Methodist churches of the City uniting in them. ——————— Suit for Personal Injuries.
