Those which have been able to | express themselves througn the columns | f the paper are but a small part of the | at pumber who are opposed to the | me. Not a day passes that there is | ot an outspoken exnression of protest against the schewe to rob the taxpayers. | The land-sellers are alonein their demana | upon the Supervisors, and it is when it 14 remembered tiat they have a surplus of | profit of about §300.000 that the true dan- | recognized. Morton, president of the VMiorton Draying and Ware- house Company, as also of the | Morton Express and Transfer | Company: 1 bave given this sub- | ject consicerable thought seeing that there is a aifference of opinion ex-| isting as to the feasibility of pur-| chasing & larce tract of land on the| outside for an additional park. Iam free 1‘ to confess that I am with THE CALL and against the promoters of the park scheme. | I have many reasons for taking this side, The Golden Gate Park to my mind is um- ple for all the purposes thatthe present seneration may require for a park. Tein vest in anotber large tract of land for | yark purposes woull be to neclect this | one. Our financial resources would nnot | jusiify us in keeping both pleasure grounds | in first ctass condition, and to now neglect | 1he park that we have spent so much money on would be the act of a pack of madmen, to put it mildly. We are more | than blessed with a climate that gzives a summer in this City so generously tem- pered with a refreshing western breeze | \hat we have no excessive heat. There- fore we do not suffer as otiers do ina| warm and sultry climate. % ““With the great Pacific Ocean on the westof usand a large bay east of us the people in this City will at all times be tne Assessed Value. “Buy the iand now, while it is cheap,” say the advocates of the Argument is ure is brought to bzar on the Supervisor: to bring about an immediate purchase of land without inquiry or investi- and noble for the dwellers at th Mission causes p=ople to been obscured in the overwhelming clamor of land agents for a new park Seven distinct proposals to sell land to the City for the park and Board of Supervisors. good time to compare the price demand=d from the City by the agents offer- constitute the tract, and the assessment of each holding and ice demanded are shown in this table: ed at $30,000 The City, while land is cheap, is asked to The books at the Assessor’s office show that piece No. 1, embracing es, was recently owned by the Glen Park Company. 2, 3 and 4 were owned by the C Charles W.

If for no other reason I | | would not favor the proposed new park. | Bat when Isee the condition of the streets nd sewers I am almost ashamed to claim | | San Francisco as my home. We have | | cobblestones on the principal streets of | this City that have been put down forty | vears ago. We have old rotten sewers with wooden boxes where we should have the very bestof brick or concrete material, l that would not become decaved after 8| few years’ use. Weare stitl paying rent | for some of our public institutions, like | the police station. “We have aimost all our fire companies | poused in old wooden buildings. Our places for the confinement of criminals | are scattered around without any attempt of a system of disciplining them and at the same time reforming them. Over these institutions there are different sets | of officials, who must be paid for the rak- ing care of them. If we bad one 'arge and commodious jail all the criminals could te housed together, thus reducing the annual expense for their care. From the latest reports at hand it is asserted that all the public schoolhouses in the City are in need of repairs, and bisides hundreds of our school children cannot find accommodation in the present baild- ings. Several of the ontside districts have aked for new school puildings, and the answer, as I see, is that there are no funds at the disposal of the Board of Education | to meet this 1equirement. The City and County Hospitar, we are informed, is in great need of repairs—in fact, 4 new hos- | pital has bacome a necessity. ““Now, with this condition of facts can T | 1t extra §300,000 for a piece of | he anything but opposed to the puichase L L L LA LA AL L L L L E L L L LA AL LLLLLLER IS THIS LARND CHEAP?

IAWLER KNOCKED 00T How Billy Steele Accomplished the Feat in Five Hotly Contested Rounds. | The Winner's Aspirations to Meet Joe Walcott in the Roped Arena, | Eis Methods of Training. | Pugilists in San Franciscoat the present are thicker than mosquitoes on the Klon- e. 1he revival of the manly art in | | town has cansed meany aspirants for fistic | honors to spring up, budding forth in joyousness, hopeiul of reaching cham- | pionship honors and remuneration. | Among the large number who have re- | cently achieved distinction is Billy Steele, | a feather-weight. Steele made his advent | mnto pugilistic circles unattended by a manager and unheralded by the press on | Sunday evening. Eariy on that night he | visited the Excelsior Club, Eighth and | the c¢lub were apprised of nis coming Steele appeared in ring costume, an- nounced that he was tiaining and com- menced -punching the bag laboriously. After he bad worked on the bag some time he expressed a desire to be shown | the shower, which was granted. | The members, thinking that some East- | ern notabie in the roped arena was their Mike Leonard to don the miitens with the stranger. | The trying-out process was quite satis- factory, ior, at its conclusion, Steele was vigorously rubbed down and sprayed with biack ink to soothe his exertions. The club, thinking that in Steele it had a world-beater in thefeather-weight class, inserted a challenge in an evening paper stating that Steele would hike to get a match with any 120-pound man, Jimmy | Lawler pre’erred. Lawier on seeiug the challenge visited the club, and being ap- ’s proficiency in the maniy art consente to put on the gloves with | the doughty stranger. Theseconds, time- keeper and referee were selected. | At the call ot “time” Lawler made a | bungling pass at Steele. Steeie’s ire was aroused and he shot his right ou , fanning The blow was effective, for tue | breeze caused by its delivery sent Lawler | to the mat, where, emnfating Sharkey, he writhed in agony. Slowly e keeper called off the seconds. When nine were announced, Lawler lumberingly rc- guined h s ieet and was sent to ihe floor a:ain, Steele’s blow fuiliug to reach, how- ever, the solar plexus. The ‘call oi time Caved Lawler. The second, third and fourth rounds were a repetition of tne first. In the commencement of the fifth and tast rounc Lawler was blowing vercep- LETTER FROM Dear Call: T read with much interest Professor David Starr Jordan’s view of the adaptability of a certain section of the Mission for a desirable home for wild animals, Would ne visit our Pesthouse and give us his opinion of that resort of the unfor- tunate human beings who suffer its horrors while gasping for ife?

In the first piace the land ison the sharp slope of the hill, exposed to the ocean. On both sides there are high ridges extending beyond the tract, which | makes of this gulch a natural funnel or | suction tube, drawing in the cold air irom | the ocean with great velocity. It 1s the last place a naturalist would select for | exotic animals, when almost any other, site on this peninsula would not have this naturai disadvantage. It is for tiat rea- son thst I never believed that the vro- moters of this real estate scheme were bonest in their advocacy of a zoological garden, because a park ior this purpose should not heve the vbjections of winiry blasts and cold fogs. **As for Professor Jordan ard his inter- ference 1n this matter, I have only this to say: I bave a profound respect for the learning and ability of Professcr Dawvid Starr Jordan so long as he keeps himseif tibly. Steele hdammered the air in a whirlwind of blows, ana Lawler was on tbe mat frequently., Tne -knock-out blow was & left uppercur, which missed Lawler by tully four feet. The well- known featherweight weut to the floor a Lmpid mass, *You have kiiled him!” shouted many club members in unison as Lawler was carried irom the ring by three stalwart men. Steele listened to hear no more. In his ring costume he rushed from the build- ing, and when he was overtaken by the club’s sprinter was fleetine up Market street, the cynosure of all eves, on his way to the police station to surrender himseif. Steele, under the direction of the club, runs daily to the Cliff and back, punches the bag, exercises with the wrist-machines and performs other training tasks. He is anxious to meet Walcott.

The i requirements were to acquire a site that | would be zccessible to the ladies who were | interestea in the institution, and one tha: would accommodate at least double the | number of children now cared for.

As]I had always enjoyed the best of health I was worried a good deal over this, my first illness, and my only desire was to get well as speedily as I could. - I took regularly all the medicines as my doctor prescribed them. Inm a short time I felt all right, thought I was cured _and stopp=d taking the medicine. But it wasn’t long before I was feel- ing as badly as ever, and again I had recourse to the doctor. This kept up for some time until at last I made up my mind I would quit doctoring and try some of the remedies I saw advertised. I had read so much of Ripans Tabules that I concluded I would give them a good trial. It said ‘one would give relief,’ and I thought if one could give relief a whole lot might cure me. I purchased a dollar’s worth, and when I'bad finished them I was feeling better than I had for years. I continued to use them, and to-day I believe I am a per- fectly well man. Once in a great while I do have a slight touch of the old malady, but a single Tabule fixes it all right I generally keep a supply at home.”: § Mrs. James | born; recording secretary, Mrs. | | | | i | | | | | 1 FOR SUCEESS IN L1FE) SKAGHS | Losses In proces: PACIFIC (ONGRESS SPRING _'Collins, Mrs. George T.Smith, Mrs. | SANTA CLARA COUNTY.
