E. A.

Others thought differently, some being of the idea that a number of snitable ter- minals should be determined on first. The Mayor believea the executive com- mities was a good idea. It was putin the form of a motion and carried. The follow- ing were chosen: E. A. Heron, W. B. J Pringle. M. J. Keller, W. V. Witcher. Mr. Keller then offered the following: “Resolved, That the committes shall offer the best efforts to get the Valley road 10 Oakland, the amount of the financial aid to be determined by the location of the terminal.’’ It was unanimously carried.

Facts are the only things which he consid ers. If the intelli- gent men and wo- men who make up this great country of ours will simply bripg their reason and common-sense to bear on the problem of curing their sickness, we will soon be a na- tion most remarkable for health and longev. ity. The plain, undecorated facts about Dr. Pierce’s Colden Medical Discovery are all that is necessary to convince fair-minded people of its transcendent merit. They are as follows : All diseases come from germs, The germs et into the blood, propagate and increase in the blood, which carries them all over the body. When they find a weak spot, they stick to the weak spot. It becomes a dis eased spot, and the disease is called by the name corresponding to its location in the body. The cause is the same for nearly all discases. All impurities are germs, or breed erms. Impure blood means germ filled lood. Kill the germs, eliminate the im- purities, enrich the blood, and it will force itself into the diseased spot and strengthen it, and give it power to throw off the germs that exist there. Dr. Pierce’s Golden Med- ical Discovery is designed to do this—that is the theory.” The facts are these—tens of thousands of people have used the ‘‘Dis- covery.”’ It used to be sold with the under- standing that if it didn’t cure, it should be returned, and the money refunded. No. body ever asked for the money, and so that clause was dropped. Thousands of people have written voluntary letters of thanks to its discoverer. A few of these letters have been included in Dr. Pierce’s great thou- sand page book, Common Sense Medical Adviser.

It was finally decided, however, that the subject was somewhat premature at present.

Some thought this was the ided, while others believed a route from the charter line in was the only matter invoived. Itwasde- cided 1o leave the question with the ex- ecutive committee.

There is one woman in this City who is seli-sacrificing enough to wish to devote ber life to the unfortunate being who are immaured for lifein that dismal, dilapida- ted building cslled the Pesthouse. She asks for no pay, no emoluments, nothing but the permission to make their lives, while they last, more bearabls by render- ing their moldy prison more homelike. This is the letter she addressed to the Board of Health on the subject vesterday: SN FRANCISCO, April 2 Mr. President, and Gentlemen of the Board. of Health: 1 have a petition to briug before you in regard to the lepers now confined in the Pesthouse; it may perhaps be more properly calleda request. 1 wish to ask you to give me the care of them, and of course put it in my power to make them s comfortable as the 1nmates of the hospial are made. 1f I could talk to you, 1 could make it more plain what I mean than T can on paper, but what 1 want, is to have them as it were, given to me, the power given me to make them as harpy and con- tented as you would wish to have them made if they were your own children.

He ransacked the | room occupied by Mrs. Saunders und then peida visit to Mrs. Munro’s room. reaciiing the house about 6:30 o’clock saw Mrs. Munro’s door open, and thinking it strange he looked in. Some one shut the closet door from the inside. He thought it was Mrs. Munro's boy and walked up | to the closet. He tried to open the door, but the person inside beld it tight till Vincent succeeded in forcing it open a few inches, when he saw enough to convince him that a burglar was inside. Vincent left the room, locking the door and taking the key with him. He went to the grocery on the corner of O'Farrell and Taylor and got a revolver. Thus | armed be returned to the house and met i Edwards, who had used bis skeleton keys | with effect, coming downstairs, Edwards dashed past Vincent, who rted in_pursuit, and J. §. Lean joinea him. Policeman Murphy saw the chase, and, running up Taylor street, he inter- cepled Edwards at Willinms street and arrested him. Edwaras was taken to the rooming- house and Miss Mallett identified him as ayoung man she saw in the house. He was then taken to the City Prison, and on being searched a souvenir silver spoon, five silver nutpicks,lady’s gold pin, & pair of opera-glasses and several other articles were found in his pockets, which Mrs. Saunders identified later as her property. A number of skeleton keys were also found in his pockets. The rooming-hous« has been visited by a burzlar several times recently, and the police believe Edwards has been the man. —————— OHRISTIAN ENDEAVOR NEWS, Severnl New Appoiotments Made on the Ushers’ and Press Committees.

The follow- | ing is the full list of officers elected. They represent the different parts of the State | pretty thoroaghly: Right Excellent Sir George 1.

Belcher, grand master of Ma- i sons of California, for a dispensation uu- thorizing them to organize a Masonic lodge in the district. On September 7, | 1863, the desired dispensation was granted | and on Sentember 15 Mission Lodge, with | thirteen members, began its work there- under. On the 13th day of October, 1864, & charter was duly granted to Mission Lodge No. 169, F. and A. M. It has been | & prosperous lodge from the time of its | organization. It has grown in numbers | ana wealth until now the statistics show |t to be oneof the strongest lodges, both | numerically and financially, in the State. | From its original thirteen charter mem- {bers it has increased to over 350 active 1 members at the present time, and its | charities have been dispensed judiciously {and liberally. Feeling the need ot larger | quarters the Mission Lodge Masonic Hall | Aszociation was incorporated, both the |lodge and members subscribing to the | stock, and a lot on the corner of Four- | teenth and Guerrero streets purchased, | which the association still owns. The lo- | cation not being central enough the pres- ent lot on Mission street, between Twenty- second ana Twenty-third. was purchased, being 54 feet front by 125 feet in depth, on which a substantial brick building is be- | ing erected. There will be two stores on llhe ground floor, with a large hail with ] dome organ loft and secretary’s office, and one smailer bail and banquet-room.

Local Talent Presents Many Original Drawings and Faintings. 1 All the Popular Artists Well Repre- sented and Many New Names in the Line. | | | By special invitation last evening so- | ciety and tte patrens of the Hopkins Art | Institute attended the opening of the art spring exhibition, which from to-day | on will be thrown open to the general | public. Three exbibitions' of local. art works | within the limited veriod of a year must be urged as an excuse for the rather meazer thowing made by California | artists. What the exhibition lacked in | numbers, however, was made up in gen- | eral excellence. All the popular arll:ul were well represented, and mauy new names were noticed in the line. The exhibit was worthy a greater at- tendance than the specially invited saw fit to honor it with. Not more than 100 representative art lovers loitered through the spacious rooms or toyed with the cat- alogues before some specially admired picture. | There were no favorites. Each exhibitor | apparently had a following and no paint- | ing however modest lacked its little knot | M, of kindly eritics. ! Latimer showed several pictures. His “Solitude,” a restful study in brown and ereen, with & high light shining throueh | was greatly admired. His | ’ with its calm, cool atmosphere, and the dainty bit, “Sunset,”’ founa many admirers, Mary Curtis Richardson’s ““Sketch for a Portrait” was among the most pleasing of figure studies. Chris Jorgensen’s “Coast, Near Santa Cruz,” was especially acmired for its rich coloring. R. D. Yelland’s *“Autumn Twilight, Long Island, New York,” was a striking study of light and shade dome in the ariist's best vein. A delicious bit of ruality was A. P. Niles’ “Shady Road." The iights and shadows Cartis’ i in Clara E. “Summer” were cleverly man- aged. Mary T. Menton's dainty little color piece, “A Study in Violets,”” was greatly admired. G. Cadenesso showed a pretty land- scape, “Spring,” which was chiefly noticeable for its delicate coloring. Like a zephyr from the country with its breath of spring was William Keith’s “From the Berkeley Hills—Springtime.”’ Keitn’s “Sunset’” showed exquisite coloring and a tenderness of poetic senti- ment rarely atiained. Other pictures which drew forth favor- able criticism were Jules Pazes’ ‘‘Musee de Cluny, Paris,”” Alice B. Chittenden’s “Chrysanthemums,’”’ Mary Curtis Rich- ardson’s ‘‘Cnildhood,” “Charles Rollo Peters’ “Cyprus Tree, Moonliznt” and his “Moonrice,” Elizabeth Cartis O’Sulli- van's “Portrait,” Jules Paces Jr.’s “Fish Alley, Chinatown,” and Eveiyn McCor- mick’s “Sanahills, Monterey.’ ————————— Custom-House Regulations.

A second application received the same treatment, and the newspapers simply Enid, “‘Refused for the same reason as at rst.”! THE PURE F00D CONGRESS. It Will Be Held in the Large Pioneer Hall. The Pure Food Congress, to be held on April 30 and May 1, will without doubt be a grand success. At the meeting of the Manufacturers’ Association and the com- inittees of the Pure Food Congress yester- day there was a very large attendance, there being present: J. W. Kerr, W. F. Bowers, M. J. Keller, S. McKee, 1. Jacobs, A. McLaughliu, Julian Sonntag, J. P.| Currier, L. R. Mead, ¥. L. Brown, A. Starboro and B. N. Rowley. The first matter considered was the vlace of meeting. It was exnected that the gathering would be held in the Chamber of Commerce, but it was quickly seen, after the invitations were sent out, that' the place wculd not be nearly large enonch to accommodate the delegates, a large number of whom are coming from ihe interior cities. It was decided to hold the congress in the Pioneer Hall on Fourth street, near Market. This hall will hold about 450 people. I Jacobs reported that %0 far 411 delegates have promised to attend the congress, and there are more to hear from. The special committee consisting of e:srs. Rowley, Filcher, Mead, Jacobs and Sountag, appointed to prepare a pro- gramme and the order of business, made its report, showing the manner of opening the congress, appointing committees, etc. The speakers and subjects will be ar- ranged later. It was decided to organ:ze the congress under the supervision of the Manufacturers’ and Producers’ Associa- tion and a committee from the Council of Associated Industries. ————— WANTED-A OROSSING. Mission Residents Ask an Outlet From Chenery Street to the Mission Road. The Street Committee of the soard of Supervisors held a long discussion yester- day on the advisability of making a cross- ing of the railroad at Roanoke and Milton streets for the purpose of giving residents of the Mission district an outiet from Chenery street to the Mission road. Supervisor Clinton appeared on behalf of the residents and asked thata grade crossing be made by ordering fences across the ends of Roanoke and Milton streets removed. Thi-, he said, woula give the desired result at a smail expense. Chiet Engin Curtis oi the railroad company said a grade crossing would be dangerous and the proper way to settle the matter would be to construct a bridge to connect the two streets and by making an under grade crossing at Castro street, give the desired outlet. Dr. Clinton objected to this on the ground that1t would cost several thousand dollars to construct the bridge which the City would have to pay, while the grade crossing would cost very littie, He thought the railroad company desired to save the expense of maintaining a gate there. The matter went over for two weeks. —————— THE OLOSE OF THE SEASON. Society of Ploneers Entertained Their Families Last Evening.
