[Reproduced from a drawing by the architect, William Binder.] LANS FOR THE NEW ORPHANAGE The Hcome for Parentless Children of Odd Fellows. It Will Be Built at Gilroy on a Tract Donated by Mrs. C. A. Hoxett. The Building It Has Been Decided tor Erect Will Accommeodate One Hundred Children. rs. C. A. Hoxett of Gilroy, Mrs. M. F. Thorndike of Btockton, Mrs. Olive Allen of Santa Rosa, and Mrs. Mary E. Donoho of the board of trustees of the Orphans’ Home of the Independent Order of 0dd Fellows, appoinied by the State assembly of the Order of Rebekahs of California, after a number of protracted sessions, | decided yesterday upon a vlan for the home which will be erected in Gilroy. There is another member of the board, but she was by reason of illness preveuted from attending the sessions. Some time ago the parent order erected a homa for aged Odd Fellows at Ther- malito, Butte County, but it has no ac- commodations for orphan children of members of the order. so the ladies of the Order of Rebekahs, which is a branch of | the parent order, thought they would see what they could do for the little waifs, and after a Jong discussion, they mined to start an orphanage. Many s were offered after the ladies had received assurance that their work would receive the support of the membership through- out the jurisaiction, and they were all carefully ‘examined and the-various ad- sidered. At last it was decided to accept a tract of five acres of land in Gilroy, generously offerea as a free gift by Mrs. C. A. Hoxett. Thecitizens of Gilroy became enthusiastic when they learned of the choice and through a committee announced their de- | termination to contribute $2000 to the buildingz fund. Numerous plans fora building were of- fered, and the ladies, assisted by the ad- vice of ex-Judge Davis Louderback, the board’s legal adviser, selected one sub- mitted by Architect William Burill of San Jose. The tract donated by Mrs. Hoxett is within five minutes’ walk of the heart of Gilroy and fronts on Forest lane. drainage is satisfactory. The site com. mands gas and water privileges and the surroundings are admirable. The building to be erected has a central or main portion with a wing connected by short wide hallways; all portions are to be full stories ana’ basement. he main entrance, which will face soutn, will be fronted by # large porch with a balcony over it. On the ground floor will be the matron’s rcom and parior; back of these will be eight bedrooms oa the left of the rotunda, and on the right two large class- rooms so arranged that they can be con- vantages claimed for each were fully con- | o The | ground is level, but so situated that the | verted into an assembly hall or lecture- room. Back of the rotunda will be the dininz-room and kitchen. There will also be a rear porch. On the upper floor will be sleeping apartments for the officers, dormitories for girls, two large bedrooms and quarters for servants. The building will be furnished with all the modern conveniences and will be well lighted and ventilated. The basement will oe Jarge and roomy and will be fitted up for laundry and store rooms. The trustees feel proud of the work they have already achieved and are expecting further contributions to nlace the arphan- age, which will accommoaate a hundred children, on a solid financial basis. PACIFIC COAST FISH. Statistical Agent William A. Wilcox Collecting ¥acts for His Forth- coming Report. William A. Wilcox, statistical agent for the United States Commission of Fish and Fisberies, is at the Grand Hotel. He has been on a visit to San Diego and points along the coast in the interest of the Fixh Commission, and has been collecting ma- | terial for his annual report. | Mr. Wilcox's territory extends from San | Diego to Cape Flattery. He collected the | facts for a book of over 300 pages, includ- | ing many handsome plates, as a report of | the fisherles of the Pacific Coast for 1895. | "What he has been getting for the past | year is supplementary. Mr. Wiicox does | not see any large profit in the salmon- | canring business considering the present | prices. " In fact, he says the canners hud all they can do to pay 4 cents for taking | | the fish and paying the other expenses. “I do not see,” he continued, ‘‘where there is much money init. I have taken a good deal of pains to examine into the | salmon business. It has not lately been | productive of much profit. | “The oyster business centering in San | Francisco is one of the most important | branches of the fishing industry in Cali- sornia. San Francisco firms with exten- sive beds of native and Eastern oysters | are the only planters of oysters in this | State. Each fall and spring, as those in | the fishing business are aware, seed oysters in carioad lots are brought from the At- | lantic coast and planted in the bay. | several years as many as 100 carloads, | averazing mety barrels of seed oysters to the car, have been planted each year. | Some oysters bave also been broughi | from the beds 1n the State of Washington. | If it were not for this constant planting of seed oysters the beds would soon be- come exhausted, for the natural propuga- | tion does not keep up with the demand.’” | bringing " the o needed.

A Committee of Forty Members and an Appropriation of $1000. By Resolution Others Besides Cale- donians Are Permitted to Serve on the Committee. The Burns monument movement re- ceived a considerable impetus last night at the regular meeting of the Caledonian Club in Scottish Hall, on Larkin street. Clansman Y. C, Lawson, who is assist- ant auditor of Wells, Fargo & Co.’s ex- Dress, offered the following resolution : WrEREAs, In view of thefact that the Cale- douian Club of San Francisco is desirous of honoring the memory and immortal genius of the poet, Robert Burns, whose works have been read and enjoyed the world over, by ail nations and by péople in every station'in life, 2nd whose memory is dear to every one who admires all that is pure and noble and true in the characters he has depicied 50 well; there- fore be it Resolved, That 1t is the earnest wish of the Caledonign Club to see s monument erected in Golden Gate Park, in this City, o the mem.- ory of Robert Burns'that shali be a credit not only to the Scotish_residents, but to the City | and citizens of S8an Francisco. Be it further Resolved, That the ledonian Club sub- scribe toward the erection of said Burns mon- ument the entire net proceedsof itsannual gathering and games each year until the monument has been erected, together with such other donations as the club may deem adyisable. To this end I herewith submit the following resolution : An additional standing committee shall be estabiished, to be known as the Burns mdnu- ment committee, such commitee 10 consist of the chief, the four chieitains, together with fiiteen members of the club, 10 be named by the chief not later than the first meeting in February, 1897.

They shall have power to add to their number not exceeding twenty members, or non-members, of this club, making the total number of the committee not to exceed forty persons. They suall have power to fill any vacancies which may occur. This committee shall not be subject to para- graph 1, article 13, of the by-laws, but shall serve without pay and shall serve until said monument is erected and unveiled ana until bills in connection with said monument siall have been paid, and they shall report at legst quarteriy to the club. They sl have full power to act, but all the business of this committee shall be transacted in the neme of the Caledonian Club of San Francisco. ‘Any duties which it may be necessary for this committee tv perform, and which are not herein specifiea, shall be referred to the club for action. The Caledonian Club agrees to pay the cur- rent expenses of this committee until it has turned over to said committee the met pro- ceeds from the annual gathering and games to be held on the last Saturday in May, 1897. The resolution was unanimously adopted with the exception of that portion of it which appropriates funds, which, under tue by-laws, must lay over till the next mesting. A resolution was also read appropriating from the funds of the club $1000 as a con- tribution to the Burns monument fund. Under the by-laws this also went over to the next meeting. FUNERAL OF A SOOIALIST. An Oration Delivered in the City Cem- etery Over Society’s Extremes. The funeral of Olaf Pearson, aged 43, a native of Sweden, who died last Monday at the City and County Hospital, took place yesterday afterncon at 2 o'clock from the undertaking parlors of H. Subr & Co., Mission street, between Eighth and Ninth. Out of respect to the deceased’s sym- pathy for the socialist cause a funeral committee of two, consisting of Theodore Krause of tue German_branch and Theo- dore Lynch of the Liberty branch, at- tended the obsequies, acting as pail- bearers. At the grave Theodore Lynch took occasion to pay a farewell tribute to the fidelity of character and devotion to principle that characterized their dead comrade. The poverty of the surroundings, a lonely gra the potter’s field, after a life of toil and sickness and suffering, so overcame the speaker that he commenced to depict in bitter terms the extremes of soclety when both have succumbed to death. Tne speaker pointed to the gor- geous marble shafts and granite pillars, whose ornate columns stood guard over the last abode of the tenarts in the ad- joining cemetery, and arraigned in bitter ierms of reproach the social system that discriminates between those wbo live in idleness and luxury and the industrious poor, whose iives are spent in poverty and nardship, and whose graves are marked by obscurity, with rude, rough boards as silent epitaphs. Merrillion Fined for Contempt, R. P. Merrillion sold his box factory to Meyers, Currick & Williams for $17,500, and agreed not to engage in that business for three years. He attampted to break this agreement, ina Judge Hebbard issued an order requiring him to desist. He did not heed the order, so the Judge fined him $100 yesterday for con- tempt of court. : e Modern Life in Palestine. Aspecial matinee will pe given at the Y. M. C.

Experts Expected to Make Some Very Interesting Revela- tions. The Juége Campbell Inquiry Will Be Begun on Monday at a Special Session. Experts have been put upon the books of the late Police Court clerks at the in- nce of the new Grand Jury, and revel tions of the most interesting but not un- expected character are lcoked for by that body. The straw bond question, which has been a live one in police circles since the memory of man can recall, will, it is in- timated, have a fresh illustration in that of the clerks themselves. It is said that certain of the bonds of these ex-clerks are missing and not to be found, so that in case the expert makes discoveries that would lay the bondsmen liable, there will be some difficulty in re- covering from them. William E. Lutz, secretary of the jury and chairman of the committee o courts, submitted a partial report vesterday which dwelt. particularly on the straw bond evil. Becretary Lutz has proposed in con- junction with District Attorney Barnes a bill to be presented to the Legislature, which is calculated to correct this evil to a certain extent. It provides that' the District Attorney shall appoint the prose- cuting attorneys in the Police Courts and have a general supervision of their duties; that the County Clerk shall appeint the clerks in the several Police Courts and be responsible for their acts, and that the Sheriff shall appoint the bailiffs in the courts and be responsible for their acts. The session of the Grand Jury yesterday was very short, an adjournment being taken to Monday, when a special session will be heid. An inquiry will then be begun with re- gard to the allezatiors to the effect that Judge Campbell has been addicted to leaving his blank certificates of release in the hands of irresponsible parties about the City. Benard and O’Brien, the saloon-keepers who. were most particularly mentioned, were subpenaed to avpear before the jury yesterday and responded, but they were not called upon, the matter being post- poned until Monday.

At the meeting of the Iroquois Club last evening Max Popper introduced the fol- jowing resolution: WHEREAS, There are now pending in the Legislature certain bills, the object of which is to increase the salaries of many officials of the City and County of San Francisco very largely over the amounts those officials have received for many years past; and wheress, it is & matter of common knowledge that ior some years the business in San Francisco and throughout the State has steadily diminished, that wages in all occupations have fallen, that values of property have greaty declined, and that the burdens of the faxpayer have yearly become harder to bear; therefore be it Resolved, That we deem it unfortunate that the Legisiature should atthis time consider any proposition to increase official salaries be- yond the present amounts which were fixed When this City and State were more prosper- ous than now, and which amounts have sat- isfied those officials for many years; and be it further Resolved, That a copy of these resolutions be mailed by the secretary to every member of the Legislature and that a_commitiee of five be appointed from the club to go to Sacra- mento, should it be necessary, and protest against the passage of these bills. The resolution was adopted with hearty cheers. The following resolution by E. P. E. Troy was also adopted: WHEREAS, The House of Representatives at Washington _did, January 11,1897, by a pro- nounced majority reject the iniamous Pacific Railroad funding bill, and whereas California Representatives (excepting one) proved loyal 10 their constituents, and whereas an_honest press, pubtic-spirited cilizens and a Congress composed of members who possess the full reaiization of their duty to the Nation’s honor | sustained the position taken by the opponents of this nefarious scheme; therefore be it Resolved, That we, the Iroquois Club of San Francisco, extend our congratulations to Con- gress, our representatives in the Senate and the House, the press of the land, and partic larly the Examiner, CALL and Reportof this City, and the commiltee of fifty and the many other public-spirited citizens who aided in this great victory; and e it further Resolved, That a copy of these resolutions be spread upon the minutes of this meeting and a copy sent to each and every member of Con- gress. It was decided to have a discussion on the question of the foreclosure of the mortgages held by the Government on the Central Pacific Railroad next Friday evening. James H. Barry of [the Star and Joseph Leggett will be invited to address the club and its invited friends on that oc- casion. - DEFENDED HER DOG. Bertelsen and Ex - Policeman Shields Have a Lively Row.

CRUSHED 70 THE EARTH Caught Under a Heavy Log and Picked Up for Dead. Miss | A Veteran of the Mexican War the Vie- tim of & Painful Accident—Back and Legs Partially Paralyzed. From the Tribune, Sioux City, Towa. Thomas Miller of Adavilie, lows, was re- cently interviewed by a Tribune reporter. He isaman of 66 years of age and a veteran of the Mexican war. He is a man of remarkable vigor, considering his age and the hardships through which he has passed. “)Mr. Miller,” said the reporter, ‘I under- stand you have used Dr. Williams' Pink Pils for Pale People and have also recommended them to your neighbors. Will you tell me how they have bencfited you?” “Certainly,” replied the veteren. “I shall be glad to tell you about my case, but in order that you may understand it fully I will have o 2o back about twenty years and give you a part of mv past history. “In 1875 I was the victim of a very painfal accident. 1 was then living in the State of Michigan, and at the time of which I speak one of my neighbors was building a log bar 1wasat the ‘raising,’ and the structure had nearly reached completion, and & hesvy biack ash log was being hoisted into position.

They picked me up for dead and car- ried me into the house. Iwas not dead, how- ever, but I was pretty badly used up.
