Promoters of the Pan Wish It to Be an Expression From All Nationalities. All Kn°w and Loved the Poet, and All May Join to Honor Him, Says Colin Boyd. The sub-coramittee of the Burns monu- ment committee, which Las been author- ized to formulate a plan for a permanent organization, held two meetings within the past week. Colin M. Boyd, chairman, and Y. C. Lawson, secretary of the temporary or- anization, will be recommended as per- manent officers of the general committee. The rules of order which will entail the appointment of sub-committees involve considerable consideration in order tnat the entire machinery may be made to ran smoothly. The various programmes by which the necessary funds may be raised will also require considerable thought at the hands of this commitiee. “We intend to erect such a monument in Golden Gate Park as will be a credit to not only the Caledonian Cluo, but the en- tire people of this Blate and City,” said Coiin M. Boyd yesterday. “It must be borne in mind ‘that this monument is oing to be piaced in the people’s park for all tume to come, and not lor aday or a year. Thememory of ‘Robbie’ Burns will never die so long as the English language is spoken, hence it is nothing strange or wonderful that the Scotch people and their descendants in this distant land of gold and plenty should at this time make a movemeni o show their appreciation of his genius. It will not be looked upon as ish measure. ‘To make it purely Scotch would be an attempt to circumscrie the genius of him whose poems have become so dear to the people. “‘Considering the magnitude of this undertaking, the committee, of which I have the honor to be the chairman, will give ull the details intrusted to it the most careful consideration. We want the assistance and confidence oi the whole peoplein this underiaking, so when we are dead and gone our successors may point with pride to the monum nt in the park which was erected under the au- spices of the Caledonian Club in 1900. “Permit me to say thatwe sppreciate the offer made to the monument commit- tee to accept a benefit in the Alcazar, but ior the present we have not decided upon any one plan for raising money.” The commitiee on membership to which D. R. McNeill, Andrew Wilkie and Colin M. Boyd have been appointad, is also con- sidering the best means to obtain the co- operation of the best citizens, irrespective of nationality, the object being, as ex- pressed by Mr. McNab, to give the under- taking a broad and universal character. Itisexpe: ted thaiboth o these sub-com- mittees will have a line of action formu- lated for the consideration of the monu- ment committee when this body meets to-morrow evenin DONT HEAR THE BELL Evident Carelessness Results in a Bad Streetear Accident. F. H>rmann and Companion Injured, and a Buggy Smashed by an Ellis-Street Car. By the collision of an Eilis-street elec- tric car and a buggy and horse near Gough street yesterday morning, Frank Her- mann, collector for a downtown business house, and a companion were pretty badly jolted up. The former, it is believed, is injured internaily. The grade at the bottom of which the accident occurred is rather steep, and even in fair weatber gripmen find it diffi- cult to bring their cars to a balt within a reasonable distance. In wet weather the feat is aimost impossible, Hermann was driving his bnegy toward Octavia street when car 573, William Shine conductor, was comin: down the grade. Though the carbell was rung sev- erai tmes, Hermann did not seem to hear, and when the collision occurred the buggy was overtirown and the two men thrown out bodily. The horse managed to retain its footing and rushed off with the wreck of the venicle. The injured men were taken to an ad- joining carpanter-shop and cared for pend- ing the arrival of a physician, who had been hastily summoned. Itisfeared Her- mann has receivea internal injuries. His companion, whoze name cou.d not be learned, was bruised about the head and shoulders, but was able to go home unas- sisted. In speaking of the matter toa passenger, Conductor Shine said ample warning was given Hermann to yet outof the way. Every effort, he claimed. was made to stop the car, but it could not be done in time. IVY'S '97 GREETING. An Enjoyable Entertainment by a Chap- ter of the Easiern Star. The 97 greeting ot Ivy Chapter, Order of the Eastern Star, en to its friends last evening in Golden Gate Hall, was an- other of those delightful entertainments for which this chapter is noted. They are always so productive of genuine pleas- ure that the prospect of rain, as was manifest early last evening, did not keep away the large number who were invited. The hall was crowded to its capacity with those who assembled to listen to the sev- eral numbers 1o be presented. Worthy Patron E. P. Morey acted as master of ceremonies and announced as the first number a recitation by Master Lioyd Rowley. This was followed by a piano solo by Mrs. D. M. Jackson. Mrs. Alice Waltz sang a soprano solo with violin obligato by Miss Mabel Holbrook. Miss C. Wetjen, a young miss, gave a whistling solo, rendering ‘“Cavelleria Rusticana” with wonderful precision and sweetness. Her siyle is very similar to that of Mrs. Shaw, and it pleased the au- dience 8o that she was forced to give an encore. Mrs. Harry Clark, possessed of a pure contralto voice, sang ‘“‘Sweet CASTORIA For Infants and Children. Violets” and she was followed by Miss Mabel Holbrook, who gave a violin solo. The entertainment concluded with a farce, +The Matrimonial Aavertisement,” by Misses Florence Raymond, Jeannette Patridge and Jennie Williams, and Messrs. George Crandall and Frank Houpt. Thi: as well as the other numbers was meri- toriously and londly applaudad. Then foliowed the disposition of a very J;_x:euy painting presented by Charles S. ilton, the artist, and a leather sofa cushion in burnt work, donated by Thomas L-ockwooa to the chapter. The design on the cushion was odd, but an extraordinary piece of that character of work. There wasalso a grab bag in charge of Mrs. Cyrus C. Dow, which wa< productive of much amusement. The evening closed with a dance in the lower hall. The committee of arrangements were Mrs. J. J. Evans, Miss Jeanette Patridge, Miss Florence Raymond, P. Morey worthy patron, and Frank Maxon. The commitiee was ably assisted by Worthy Matron Mrs. Jennie A. Graves. The greet- ing was declared by all a great success. SUNDAY CLOSING FIGHT.
