He pected 1t to keep moving until the v.rd reach d the county line, when ould see that the strings were pulled in Santa Clara to carry it to San Joss, which, doubtless, stands in his eyes for the promised iand.

The present on involves some bad turns and un- actory grades, and_to avoid this we have 10 extend the Ocean House road in & e west 10 1he ocean, and 1o extend Oceun: boulevard south to meet 1. We are as- cured of the necessary rights of way for this ¢ grant from the Spring Valley —and expect to beable to arrange for the actual making of this change in the near ruture. The Park Commissioners also carried out promises made tous in the matter of ening of & roadway from the park drive on the south side leaaing out to Seventn avenue, This gives a necessary and comfortable en- trunceway leading to and from the South drive. Seventh avenue, which leads from the park to the Aimshouse Toad, has been graded, mac- edamized and curbea from H street up to the “waste pond” of the water company at K street. This has been a long-delayed and w plece of work to accomplish, as many rests were concerned in the mstter and 1y points had to_be arrived at and settled the way was found clear to bring the through. This avenue is completed rigit up toihs brink of the “waste pond.” While this work was being carried through it was necessary to have a temporary roadway, and we were compelled to ask the Board of Bupervisors to hielp us out in the case, which they by avproprimiing $150, which we Epent to have the temporary road built. From the waste pond we wish to carry Sey- enth avenue right torough, and ths wotld necessitate the filling in of the ““waste pond’” and the grading down of the hill somewhat— & considerab.e work and one in which we have found the interested property-owners ow to move. The water company is the party most at interest here, and We are pleased 10 sny that we have the most encour- aging Assurances from Mr. Schussler, and have every reason 1o believe the work will e prosecuted with succese. Taking up the road, then, at the south end of the *‘waste pon re are assured that the Bpring Vailey Watér Compsny will srrange with & private contractor at its own expense 10 widen and grade and macadamize the road- company has already very ed to the City enough land to the road through to the Alms- Ex-Masor A. Sutro has been urged to aid us in building this greatroad by giving us the right of way ugh his lands to reach the Corbett réad without tne long, slow, uphill and downhill route we have used so long. He recognized the great public benefits to be thus derived, and most magnanimously set aside has now given a deed to this City for a grand strip of land, which will connect the Almshouse with the Corbett road near the Trocadero. In addition to this public gift. he has at all times assisted us in this enterprise with his engineers, and in many ways helped 18 to success. He is aiso furnishing us volun- terily with the rock from his quarry to mac- ademize the rosd. The purpose of your committce in laying out this boulevard was to obtain and construct & road leading from the park, at Seventh ave- nue, past Lake Honda to the Corbet road, pear the “Trocadero.” connecting there with tue Ingleside road and with the Occan House read, It was determined to make the new boulevard a road of tie very first class, of am- ple width and of casy and practicai grades. Accordingly a width of 100 feet, from Seventh avenue to Inglesids, has becen provided for, and the grades at different points have been 50 changed from the uatural or estzblished i rades as to make the maximum grade on the §oulevard only 4 per cent or thereabouts. The established grade at L street was for this pur- w0se raised ten feet. And for the purpose of getting the full width for the road we have le{- cured irom the Harmon estate s grant of fif- teen feet along Seventh avenue, from L street to Lake Hondn, and a corresponding couces- sion on the other side. For more than & year past your committee has been engaged in laying out and meking the arrengements for this proposed boulevard, and after completing these arrangements was fhen confronted witn the problem of raising the necossary furds to carry on the work, and ihe opportunity we desired came wiih the recent public movement for tho relief of the ‘anemploved” Mayor Phelan having ap- pointed & committee to take in hand this mat- ter of the uncmployed, that committee deter- mined to collect 1unds for the purpose and to appiy the funds toward the construction of the boulevard which we had projected, ac- comp!ishing in this way the double result of asvisting the needy and of obtaining for the public and for the City a splendid and valu- able Am‘frovemcm. The Mayor's committee organized with W. M. Bunker as chairman and ex-Mavor L. R. Eilert as chairman of finances. These two gentlemen bave since then devoled their time and energy unselfishly to the collection by voluntary subscriptions of a fund to pay the unemployed. ‘ihey turned the construction over to_our own coustruction committee, add- ing thereto Harold Wneeler. The work of building this boulevard has now been in full operation for the pastten days, and we have upward of 500 men a day employed thereon, 10 whom is paid $1 a day and 10 cents for car- fare. Nome of the money is used for any pur- pose except to pay for iabor, asall the neces- sary tools and supplies are being contributed by our liberal citizens. Superintendent Reddy of the Almshouse al<o furnishes daily at the noon hour soup for all the laborers. The great work 1s progressing favorably, and the assur- ance of its completion within' the nex: sixty s is unquestioned, providing the necessary unceasin the past y We have held meetings of some ind neariy every day during ihat time; we nve appeared before the Board of Suvervisors, the Park Commissioners, the Street Commiitee, Meyor Sutro and meny e plish our ends. g of the boulevard was commenced we have there, personally sujervising the 1g n pArt ol each day.

Connecting with the park at one end, and at the other with the | Ocean House road and Ocean highway, it gives opportunity for a splendid drive or vicy- cle tour of about fifteen miles through the most picturesque part of our City and County. And the new roadways that will presently fol- low this_one, from the Ingieside end in a southerly direction, will give the City what it has hitherto Iacked but greatly needed—an agreeable and direct route to the south boun- dary of the City, and into the body of our peninsula. Ir conclusion we are glad to take this oppor- tunity to give our thanks to ail who have aided us in this work—io the Park Commis- | sioners, the Iast Board of Supervisors, the resent Board of Supervisors, ex-Mayor Sutro, Mr. H. Schussler of the water company, Mayor Phieisn, ex-superintendent of Streets Ash- worth, Mr. W. M.

Respectfullv submiited, CHARLES C. BEMIS, President, R, Secretary, ALL THEY COULD EAT. The Ladles of the West Side Chris- tlan Church and John Lind Provide Lunches. The work on the boulevard is rapidly progressing. The men, with but a few exceptions, seem to be doing good work. A few who were inclined to suirk their work were discharged yesterday. It had a good effect on the others and 1t 38 not expected that any more dismissals will become necessary. The subscription fund has reached $13,901 90 and it is hoped that it will soon reach $15,000. Thatsum would be just about enough to carry the work through thoroughly. Next Sunday will see the roadway ready fordriving and the visitors will be enabled to take a spin of slmost a miie. Just before 12 o’clock vesterday a com- | mittee of ladies from the West Side Chris- tian Ch drove up. They had a most bounteous supply of luncheon, including several hundred ‘sand wiches, boiled egzs, cans of potted ham, fisn, beans, etc. Ail kinds of cakes, fruits and jelly finished up the t, if one lone cigar may be ex- cepred. 3 Tne committee consisted of the follow- Mrs. T. Young, Mrs. Clark, Smpy and Mrs. McBirney. Soon | afier this évent John Lind drove up with an express-wagon load of sandwiches, and so wiith the soup from the Almshouse the men had more than enough 1o eat. Donations keep coming in _and in the nick of time. Yesterday the Judson Man- | ufacturing Company sent in a keg of nails, Payot, Upham & Co. sent in a batch of stationery aud the Washburn & Moen Manuiacturing Comnany _donated two kegs of track nails.

A. K. Will Plant Trees in the Capitol Grounds. The “‘memorial grove” committes of the Ladies of the G. A. R. has decided to plant trees in the Capitol grounds at Sacramento on May next. The trees have almost all arrived from thenoted battlefields of the War of the Rebellion, and will be placed nearly in a circle, in the center of which will be planted iwo caunons and an anchor from the old warship Pensacola, These will represent the naval battles, as the trees do the land combats. This is the first grove of the kind ever planted in the United States. The project is attracting great attention and commendation, not only from all old soldiers, but ail patriotic people in the East as well as here, It is expected that the ceremonies will be elaborate, as all the posts of the G. A. R., Reliei Corps and Sons and Daughters of Veterans will be invited to participate, as well as the Governor and other State officers. The children and grandchildren of the old soidiers will assist in planting ihe trees. To Eliza H. Waggoner, the chairman of the committee, is due the credit of the. conception of the idea of planting such a grove and much of the work in carrying it to a successful termination, ably aiaed by the department president, Sister Bell 8. Herr, both of Sacramento city, as well as by the united assistance and cordial sup- port of the ladies of the whole order in the entire Stat L M. E. Frank’s Failure. M. E. Frank, & well-known hypnotist and haberdasher, assigned to Levi Strauss yester- dey for the benefit of creditors. It is said his liabilities will reech $10,000. The assets are seid to consist of houschold goods and 5000 in building snd loan stock. Mr. Frank was not to be seen yesterday. Levi Strauss was one of his neaviest creditors. Walter N. Brunt and Fiancee. An interesiing betrothal justannounced is that of Walter N. Brunt and Miss Mar- garet E. Whitelaw, daaghter of Captain Whitelaw, the well-known wrecker. The fair young fiancee is an extremely talented and accomplished young lady, and since her debut has been a reigning belle in her particalar circle. Walter N. Brunt, the happy man, is one of the most popular of the young men prominent in social circles. He is 8 mem- ber of Mission Parlor, N. 8. G. W.; Golden Gate Commandery, order of the Knights Templar, and also a Knight of the Mystic Shrine. The wedding of this popular young couple nas been set for May 12, and it will probably be a church affair. THE CHILD IS MRS, HOLSTROM'S Judge Seawell Rendered a Decision That Was Popular. Two Women Weeping in Court, One for Sorrow, One for Joy. Mrs. D'Artenay Declared to Be a Gool Woman, but Her Daughter Has Formed Other Ties. Two agitated women filled Judge Sea- well's courtroom with their sobs yesterday afternoon. Mrs. Lucinda Holstrom wept for joy and Mrs. Sarah d’Artenay was g0 overpowered with sorrow that only tears could give partial relief, for the court had just uttered the words giving to Mrs. Hol- strom the permanent custody of little Effie V. R. Holstrom. At the conclusion of the Judge’s remarks there wasaburstof applanse,showing that his decision had met a responsive chord in the hearts of the persons who crowded the room, Bailiff Matt Fallon exercised his an- thority to suppress the uproar by shout- ing, rder in court!” and tuen hastened to lend aid to Mrs. d’Artenay, who had fainted. The unfortunate lady was quickly removed to the corridor, where the fresh air restored her constiousness. She at once went into hysterics and the hallways rang with her shrieks for several minutes. In the meantime the joyous Mrs. Hol- strom was speeding from the scene of so much trouble, bearing in her arms the lit- tle one over whom the controversy had arisen and on whom she had lavished such a wealth of affection. In the opinion of the conrt Mrs. d’Arte- ney had not the same love for the little one that was felt by the foster mother, and 1aking into consideration the weifare of the child, Mrs. Holstrom’s application for guardianship was granted. Readers of THE CALL who have taken an interest in this case will remember that little Effie was born about five years ago in this Gity. Her mother was unmarried at that time and made a written paper by which she purported to give and bequeath her baby to Mrs. Lucinda Holstrom of Empire City, Or. This was duly wit- hessed, and. Mrs. Holstrom made a formal acceptance in writing of the trust thus imposed. The mother of the child subsequently married Mr. d’Artenay of Dixon, Solano County, and he learned of the existence of the child for the first time in January of this year. When his wife asked for the return of the child he joined her in that demand, and 8o the matter was taken into court. Inasmuch as Mrs. Holstrom haa never taren legal steps for the adoption of the little one she had to appear in court on an egual footing with Mrs. ¢’ Artenay, their opposing petitions for guardianship coming up for consideration simul- taneously. 8o great has been the interest mani- fested 1n this controversy and so many persons have become involyed in it that the courtroom has been crowded at every hearing. A silence as of death prevailed as Judge Seawell ascended the bench to announce his decision, for when the fate of a human being, for zood or for bad, for time and for eternity, is in tne balance there is sgmething impressive and even awiul in the judicial ceremonies attending the final decision. The court said that Attorney Sullivan, speaking for Mrs. d’Artenay, had objected to the validity of the so-called deed of gilt of the child, and he sustained' Mr. Sullivan’s contention that it was not legally binding as an act of sbandon ment. It is true a parent cannot legally divest himeel!f or herself of theduties which the community requires must be discharged gyp-rents in regard to their offspring. 'he paper, therefore, would not be con- sidered by the court except to explain the attitude of the contending pariies touch- ing tneir relationskip to the minor child. The court spoke higbly of Mrs. d’Arte- | nay and her modest app He said that no matter i tunes may have been, considered her a good woman now, and a proper wnon‘;iv bave the custody of a child. Mrs. Hol- strom he found to be equally worthy, and in deciding the case he put them both on the same equality of excellence and ma- tronly worth. So far as the testimony of Bert Joy against Mrs. Holstrom was con- cerned, he disregarded that altogether. He thoueht Joy a vile creature beneath the consideration of all human beings. From the testimony Judge Seawell said be found that Mrg, d’Artenay never ex- pected to get Ler chilu back until she it up. That was false information, as it was shown conclusively that Mrs. Hol- strom never had any such intention. The provisiou of the code quoted by Mr. Sullivan, if taken alone, wou.d be conclu- sive in establishing the right of the actual mother 10 the custody of the child, but had made the strong point that the other provisions of the codes must be read and construed in connection with it. He said that the decisions of the California Su- preme Court are in line with the senti- ment expressed in the Amer State Reports, page 182, where it is said : “*In eaci case due regaru will be given to the feel- ings and wishes of the parent, yet the con- trolling consideration is the welfare of the child.” The Supreme Court of Wisconsin (75 Wis. 51) has added: *‘After theaffections of both the child and adopted parent be- come engaged #nd a state of things has arisen wnich cannot be altered without risking the bappiness of the child, and the parent seeks to reclaim ii, the better opinion is that he is n.tin a position to secure the interference of a court in his tavor.” Judee Seawell said that the statute of California leaves open the inquiry as to the suitableness of the parent for the pur- pose of tsking sucn custody, and it seems quite obvious that if for any cause the welfare of the infant demands that its care and custoly be withheld from the parent and given to another the parent is not a suitable person to have such care and custody within the meaning of the statute, In view of the circumstances it seemed to the ccurt that it woutd be better for the foster mother to have the custody of the child EtHie, and it was so orderad. Mrs. Holstrom sprang forward and took the chiid irom the arms ot its temporary but she could not keep from crying, and her tears scemed to suprise the littis one, who patted her foster mother’s cheek and | prattled loving words i~ herear while be- ing borne from the City Hall. Mr. Sullivan asked to have the record made up in legal form, saying that he in- :}endad to take an appeal tothe Supreme ourt. OARS ON SIX1H STREET. An Electric Line to Run From Geary to A committee representing the BSixth- street Improvement Club, accompaniea by President Dohrmann and Secretary Freud of the Merchants' Association, called upon Manager Vining of the Mar- ket-street Railway Company yesterday morning regarding the desired improve- ment of the service upon Sixth street. The Sixth-street committee consisted of L. V. Merle, H. Israel, J. Farrell, J. Wolf, Henry Ellgbach and 8. Rosenthal. Secretary Willcutt of the Geary-street Railway Company also attended the con- ference. After consideration of the va- rious possible connections with a Sixth- street electric system, it was finally de- cided that the best plan would be to have an clectric road ran along Sixth street to Market and along Taylor street to Geary. At 'the intersection of Geary and Taylor streets transfers would be given to connect with the Western Addition. The committec of the Eixth-street Im- provement Club was fully satisfied with this plan and decided tocall upon Mayor Phelan to request that the present unused rails on Taylor street be allowed to re- main for the purpose of carrying out this proposed electric road that would connect Sixth street with the balance of the City and give a modern street railway equip- ment to thal important thoroughfare, A MILITARY REVIEW..

It was surmised during the session of the Legislature that immediately after the =adjournment of that body some changes would take place in the clerical force of the Connty Clerk’s cffice of this City. C. F. Curry. the County Cierk, en- countered some obstacles at Sacramento, and in order to protect the public service and guard his own interesis decided to recognize several members in the distribu- tion of official patronage. It has been whispered low in the corri- dors of the City Hall for seve:al days that quite & number of chanees in the office would take place at the expiration of the present month. The County Clerk has teen subjected to every influence imagin- able to make certain appoiniments and to withhold contemptated removals, The *ins’’ bring as much pressure to stay as the ‘‘outs” do to get in. It was first reported twelve cierks would be let out to-day, but Mr. Carry ssid to a reporter of THE CALL yesterday afterncon that only four changes would be made at present. He declined to name the men to be let out on the ground that it might work to their detriment by preventing them from getting instant empioyment elsewhere. He said, “Iintend toappoint Fred Frey as deputy and to appoint Holcombe, Kin- caid and Prindt as copyists in the oflice.” When asked if any members of the Legislature would be appointed Mr. Curry i replied in the negative, but observed that they had strong!y recommended the men whose selection had been made. There is sure to be great pulling and hauling to-day when the changes are an- nounced. Tbe friends of the dismissed will gatler to remonstrate against the ac- tion of the County Clerk and bring every pull possible to restore their favorites to place. 1t was ascertained at the City Hall last evening that Wiliiam Reynolds, who wi appointed for turee months, was the dep- uty 1o be removed in order :0 open the way for Frey’s appointment. Mr. Rey- nolds is spoken of as a capable and worthy man. Later Coudty Clerk Curry announced j that he intended putting A. J. Martin in his office as a deputy. RIO DE JANEIRO ARRIVES. The Big Steamship Brings Little Im- portant News From the Orient. The Pacific Mail Steamship Company’s steamer City of Rio de Janeiro anchored off Meiggs wharf at 9 o’clock last even- |ing after a run of twenty-eight days from Hongkong, China. The steamer touched at Yokobama and Honolulu on her voy- age, and owing to ramors of pestilence in those foreign iands the cabin passengers, ;wenty in number, were not allowed to and. The ship carries a clean bill of health, and the passengers will probably be al lowed to land this morning after the quar- antine physicians have concluded their examination.
