I'he number of unemployed now in this City is estimated by the Labor Commis- sioner o be from 8000 to 10,000, including not only the daily laborers but a large number of artisans, such as_painters, car- penters, plumbers and mechanics of all kinds. The amount needed for the insur- iug of sufliclent work to alleviate this dis- tress is about $50,000. Three years ago, in connection with the work done in the park for similar relief purposes, the sum ‘of $92,000 was subscrived. The' proposed roadway has been sur- veyed und laid out through a series of months past, principally at the instance of the Boulevard Association, so that those features which would ordinarily re- Guite a lengthy time for preparation have wiready been provided. The proposed road will extend from Seventh avenue aud the park, immedi- y adjoining the Olympic Club grounds, southerly direction past Lake Honda, r the Almshouse, and thence toward e Ingleside, connecting with the road- way leading to the Ocean boulevard and also with the road way leadingin the other direction, toward Ocean View. ie same point the proposed boule- connects with a direct roudway to be laid out in the future southward into San Mateo County. The proposed rosd runs rincipally through property belonging to the City, to the Spring Valley Water Works and to Adolph Sutro. Arrange- menis have been made, through the co- operation of all these, so that the land necessary for this roadway to the width of 100 feet will be deeded cr dedicated to this vurpose of a boulevard, The Spring Valiey Water Company Lave offered to supply at their own cost any surveying and engineering necessary in connection with the work. Mr. Sutro offers from his adjacent land rock neces- sary for macadamizing. large number of wheelbarrows, shov- els, etc., will be obtained from the Park Commiseloners. The Merchants’ Associa- tion have offered to co-operate and place atthe disposal of the committee their 700ms and their machinery of organiza- tion. The Chamber of Commerce have offered their rooms ana equipment Leadquasrters for the committee meetings, Tue Boulevard Association offers to super- v se ail work of actual construction.

Warm Words of Esieem and Affaction by His Faliow- Attorneys. The Guest of Honor Speaks Feelingly cf His Indebtedness to the Bar. There was nothing lacking in the cor- diulity with which the Bar Association last evening honored its distinguished about to leave for Washington to assume a position in the Cabinet of the President- elect. The farewell and congratulatory fete, for it was both of these, was in the form of a banquet siven by the associa- tion at its rooms at 530 California street. | Covers had been laid for ninety, limited stricily to the members of the association, member, Judge Josepn McKenna, who is | Judge McKenna was roundly applauded at ihe conclusion of his remsrks. Charles | W. Page was the next speaker. He was | called upon 1o respond to the sentiment, “The Federal Courts," o | In introducing him Judge Hayne said | that though Mr. Page was not a member of the Federal court ne was amply quali- | fied to be. To this Mr. Page responded that if Mr. McK nley was as wise as be was reputed he would consult with Judge McKenna in the nominations for judicial | positions and he suzgested that the name | of Judge Hayne be mentioned to the | President in case he ever wished to fill | any odd vacancy in the Supreme Court with a Democrat. | | Mr. Page then spoke of the great | power for good which the judiciary has | exercised for the country. *“The constitu- | tion was made ten times stronger,” he | clared, ‘'by the master minds that inter- preted it than its framer ever intended.’” | He paid a glowing tribute to judges who have presided over the Ninth Circuit in the past, and particularly to the guest of the evening. Justice T. B. McFarland, lin a witty | speech, responded to the sentimenr, “The | Bupreme Court.” He related the no | and complex conditions which had sur | rounded ‘the highest judictary of this | State throughout its history, and spoke of | the improvements of the last few years in facilitating litigation in the Supreme Court. | Judge J. V. Coifey spoke of *“The Supe- | rior Courts of San Francisco.’’ His re- | marks were humorous save where he re- ferred to the warm personal friendship which had for many years existed between himselt and the guest of the evening. Judze Waymire responded to the senti- ment, “Our Legistators,”” He told of the vresent Legislature as viewed from the standpoint of a lawyer, and stated he had come to feel he could best serve his coun- try by preventing lagislation. *I desire to congratulate Judge Me- Keuna,” be said, “upon the broad field of | responsibility which he is about to enter, |and I desire to congratulate California, Scene at the Fanquet Tendered to Judge McKenna by the Bar Association. wi hes and pies were g t-eman, Mr. L riday might, The ladies will bedding and other things to be used in furnishing rooms that have be. tute women and ch v apart for destic Contributions may be left ut tt Mission | Y.

The Members of the Coursing Club As- | semble Around the Festive Board, i The first annual banquet of the Inter- | state Coursing Club was held last night at the Viticultural Restaurant, 315 Pine street. The bringing together of the members of the club was in following of | the example of all the conrsing elubsin | England, where the club officers and | members meet at the festive board imme- | diately alter the drawings and before the | day of the coursing. | The members had a most enjoyable time between disposing of the menu and the enjoyment of wit and song us rendered by | those whose talents led in those direc- | tions. After the repast President Shan- non gave a brief resume of the history of | coursing in California since 1867, when ex- | Sheriff Adams, Nat Curry, Judge James C. Penny, Mike Skelly and a few others started the first ciub in San Francisco. Since that time coursing has assumed | a_ higher plane, and now through the | able management of Judge Grace the sport | has been elevatea to a standard entitling it to the favorable consideration of gentle- men of refinement and education. Arounc the festive board the following gentlemen were seated : | | Dominick Shannon, president; W. C. Peyton, | | first vice-president; H. G. Layn, second vice: | presiaent; John Grace, judge; J. F.

The menu was all that could be desired, and good cheer was discussed amid | almost boyish gayety. Between courses the vang s cracked many a merry quip. | which, though they may have suggested | to th trica d wit e unini i ated dry and mnsty tomes of were replete with cleverness he understanding of the legal minds represented at the board. There as music, too. A string orchestra fur- nished duicet airs whenever it could dis- cern an opening, but oftener the room rang witn rollicking college songs and, never was “He’s a Jolly Good Fellow'’ sung with more energy and fervor. Robert Y. Hayne, the President of the association, acted as toastmaster. In in- troducing tha first speaker he said: “We are met here to-night as lawyers to do honor to a fellow lawyer, and as Californians we are proud of a Califor- nian. “Ttisa matter of congratulation that we are to have a representative in the bighest councils of the nation. We have shown the nation that on occasion we can sink our petty d fferences and there is one whom we all delight 1o honor. Gentle- men, I ask you to drink the health of Judge McKenna.” The invitation to drivk to Judge Mec- Kenna’sjhealth was acquiesced in with enthusiasm. R sing the hosts drank the toast, then appianded and then cheered. it was some moments before they would cease their ovation to allow him to pro- ceed, When order was restored, Judge Me- nna said: “Wendeil Phillips said in one of his lectures, ‘People should be jadged by their idols.” I should not like to make even a partial application that, nor would 1 dare to take it the other way and regard this occasion as being tendered to me. And perhaps it is not to me. Is It not rather to my office |cries of No,No!"] and if so mayI not accept it With- out a mortifying sense of my unfitnoss? 1f it is my office then this is only a cele- bration in which I am an actor.” Yet the part assigned to m~ is a most grateful one, and I thank you from a heart filled with emotions which I cannot express. “When I was piaced upon the bench I | was known professionally to but few of you and was by many, I fear, regarded as rather a dangerous experiment. May I not say that that feeling of distrust soon vanished? [Criesof ‘You may.’] May I not say that whatever may have been the defects in the Court it was never the resuit of the un- fairness of the Judge? 1 wish to say that 1 did not learn fairness on the bench. “There were some things I did not learn upon the bench, and for the courtesy and petience of the bar I haye much to be thankiul. The ability of the bar was my iustructor. “Have not even famous decisions had their beginning at the bar? With every step in judicial progress from the lawvers’ intelligence has sprung the ides. How dependent, therelore, is the bench upon the bar, and reciprocally how dependent is the bar upon the bench. [Laughter.] No good bench without a gcod bar; no good bar without a good bench, *If this were more thoroughly under- stood and no word heard which was untair to either we would not hear of schemes to discipline the bench and the bar. No greater discipline would be needed than the ambition of the bench to retain the respect of the bar and of the bar to main- tain the respect of the bench. ““This has been my ambition, and for this reason I value this testimonial to- night. I will cerry with me to my new place a hope that I will so administer my duties as to deserve at their expiration the huppiness of like approval decisions of the Circuit | | Preston, n their commit- y and there were but twoor three absentees, | which he will represent so faithfuily and so weli.” He dweit at iength upon the claims which California had to the con- sideration of the country.

The California Schuetzen Club, the Ein- tracht Schuetzen Club and the San Fran- cisco Turner Schuetzen Section will hoid their monthly shooting contests at the California Schuetzen Club park to-day, and it goes without saying that the marksmen will enjoy a most pleasant outing belore the butts. Dr. F. H. Bangs of San Jose is a most enthusiastic lover of rifle-shooting. He has constructed in the basement of his residence a shooting-range about 55 feet in length, where he and his comrades prac- tice daily. The marksmen blaze away at a target 3){ inches in diameter, with a l-inch black, divided into four rings counting 20, 22, 24 and 25 points, the twenty-fifth ring being a quarter of an inch in diameter. Dr. A. M. Barker holds the record with 557 rings out of a possible 625 rings in twenty-five shots. A few wecks ago Dr. Bangs made the following splendid record at a distance of 200 yards, on the twenty-tive-ring ‘arget, Score , 25, 24, 23, 18, 23, 22, 25, 25, 24— , 21, 25, 24, 25, 20, 23—228; to'al, 464.

Given to Show the Real Char- acter of the Chinese Population. Cbinese and Europeaa Bills of Fare and Chiness Music—List cf Those Present. “Gentlemen, here’s a toast to the ivory chopsticks of the Chinese, which, I must admit, are far and away ahead of the American fork, so far as eating Chinese disbes is concerned.” The speaker was Police Judge Camp- bel!, and the occasion of the torst the an- nual banquet of the Yinn Yee Kong Sow Benevolent Association, held last evening at the Hang Far Low restaurant, 713 Du- pont street. All the American guests arose, and the toast was responded to with a will. The object of the invitation to the American guests was that they might see for themselves what are the romances and customs of the Chinese—what their faults and failings; what their virtues and vice; in what lies the difference be- tween the Chinese residests in this coun- try and their people at home in their ne- tive land; in fact in what their civiliza- tion consists. The Yinn Yee Kong Sow Benevolent Association is one composed of merchants and members of the families of Low, Quong Chung and Chew, which are fam- ilies named aiter celebrated kings or em- perors, and from which each member claims descent for at least 2200 or 2300 years. The banquet began at 9 P. M., and con- sisted of a great many courses of the pecu- liar and celebrated dishes so pleasing to ihe palate of the Oriental epicure, At 7P M., or two hours prior to the ban- quet, the American guests who bad ar- rived were shown the sights of the Chi- nese quarter by competent guides hired for the occasion. There was a short so- journ also at the Washington-street The- ater. Here Sapervisor Rottanzi created a zood deal of merriment by a farcical ex- planation of the charactersin tke differ- ent roles. During the prozress of the banquet Su- pervisor Britt slipped around and made an arrangement with the Chinese musi- cians to flood the room with a torrent of shrill “meiody” at a preconcerted signal. Then Supervisor Lackman was invited to make a toast to the g. 0. p. When he was in the middie of a sonorous period a signal was given, and a vast deal of mer- riment was created by the result. Lack- man gave up the toast as a bad job. Bat the champagne stiil flowed. The fesiivities were under the especial direction of Attorney M. M. Foote. Those invited were the Mayor, his secretary, the Supervisors, the Police Judges, the prose- cuting attorneys and their assistants and clerks, the several leading officers of the Police Department and all Federal officials. The following is a list of those wo actu- ally attended: pervisors Haskins, Devany, Rottanzi, han, Lackman, Rivers, Britt and Morton, Poiice Judge Campbeil, Thomas J. Farrell, Buckley, George M.

Foote, Her Sister Is at a Loss to Understand the Motive That Prompted the Deed. Although but 17 years of age, Emma Krinz, who resided with her sister on Islais street, found that life’s cares were burdensome, and yesterday afternoon she committed suicide. She left her sister seated in a front room of her little home, and going into one of the rear rooms swallowed a dose of "‘Rough on Rats.”’ She was discovered a few moments after in agony, and Dr. E. N. Torello was sum- moned. He worked on the patient for several hours, but without avail. The poison had taken too firm a hold on the girl's fragile constitution and she failed to rally, dying at 9 o'clook. The Coroner’s office was notified, but after an investigation it was decided that the case purely oue of suicide, and the body was allowed to remain in the house where aeath had taken place. The suicide’s sister is heartbroken over the tragedy. She is ata loss to understand the motive that prompted the young girl to take her own life. She knowsof no love affair, no misery, no misfortune that could have prompted the deed and it re- mains vested in mystery. FOR DERELICTION IN DUTY, Captain Kobinson of the City Prison Prefers Charges Against Desk Sergeant Shields. Captain Robinson of the City Prison has preferred charges before the Police Com- missioners against Desk Sergeant John ‘W. Shields. Some months ago Chiel Crowley issued an order that the desk sergeants should visit and inspect the cells during every halt Lour on the watch from 12 o’clock midnight till 8 in the morning. In the complaint against Sergeant Shields it is alleged tbat on e:even occa- sions Letween December 27 and February 13, both inclusive, the sergeant failed to visit the cells in accordance with the Chief’s orders. The hours mentioned in the complaint are when the captsin is not on duty, so that it is supposed that he obtained his information from ‘“‘trusties” whom he took into his confidence. The captain sent for the sergean: at 6 o'clock last night and read the complaint to him. The result will be a rigid investi- zation into the general discipline and con- duct in the prison and will, it is said, take on a much larger scope than the mere charges against Sergeant Shields. ————— Nicolson’s Place Wanted.

William Fitzgerald, a sufferer from rheumatism for a number of years, was completely restored. His case was pub- lished, and this is an extract from a letter WILLIAM FITZGERALD Testifies to the Wonderful Effect of the New Electro-Medical Cure. which he wrote to a patient who had writ- ten him inquiring 1f his publishea testi- mony was true: ur letter received. The doctora of me as they have many others. Kight | years of almost constant pain makes me | appreciate the marvelous cure effected. I | really think that the ctro-Medical | treatment is the only thing in the world | that will cure a bad case of rheumatism, I had tried electricity alone and medicines alone, but the combined and well-defined treatment of medicine and electricity of this Institute has proved my greatest blessing. 1 never before took any medi- cines just like them, and the electrical de- partment with its big batteries, one of them costing a thousand dollars, will sur- | prise you. There is nothing like their electrical appliance elsewhere on the Pacific Coast. You may depend on what the doctors say. They wiil not tell you they can cure you unless they can.” 961 Mission st., San Francisco, Cal. People suffering with old chronic dis- eases, those who have doctored with all classes of doctors, who have tried all kinds of nostrums and patent medicines and have dosed themselves with all man- ner of remedies recommended by unpro- fessional friends until their systems bave become filled with poisonous drugs, are particularly requested to try this new | treatment.” We cure all such cases, our | method of treatment is new, our medi- cines are made from pure drugs, and elec- tricity is used in all its modern and most effective forms. To the youth who are suffering from vouthful follies, to middle-aged and old ‘men who are paying the penalties for ex- cesses and too fast a life, this new treat- ment is & certain balm. It imparts new life to the whole body; it invigorates the weak and dormant organs, all their natural strength returns, the mind be- comes bright and active, the muscles be- come firm and strong, in fact, the whole being is filling with uew life and vitality, bringing to man the manly power and mental brightness which is necessary for him to possess in order to cope with the realities of life. We can truthfally say to all suffering from such troubles that our cure is a new cure, it 1s absolute, it is cer- | tain, it is positive, it is lasting, it never | fatls, it makes the MAN the MAN inevery sense of the word. W if you live out of the city W RITE and cannot visit the Insti- tute. They have constructed a neat and | effective body battery which can be worn | under the clothing, next to the skin, day or night without detection or the least in- convenience. With this battery pads are furnishea which are saturated with the medicine which the Institute doctors pre- scribe, and these pads are placed directly over the parts affected. The poles of tha battery are then placed on the pads, the electricity passes through them, carrying the medicine right to the diseased parts, giving almost immedaiate relief and effect- ing cures where all qther kinds of treate ment had failed, By this system, people who cannot visit the Institute can get the benefits of the new electro-medical treat- ment at their homes although hundreds of miles away.
