Bowen Re-elected, The Pound Limits Fixed at Last—A Bridge-Keeper and a Janitor Lose Their Jobs, The closing chapter in the story of Quincy and St. Mary streets came yester- day in the Board of Supervisors when the | order ciosing the alleys was finally passed. Suvpervisor Roitanzi, who occupied tne chair in the absence of Mayor Puelan, was the only one voting against the order. He explained his vote by stating that he thought the unfortunates who occupied the two streets should be provided with other quarters before being driven into the street to be a menace to society and anunoyance to the police. He said also that he had talked with Chief Lees re- ¢arding the matter and that he had come to the conclusion that the closing of tue trects was a matter for police regulatiou rather than action by the Bupervisors: Tha order closing Berry and Dupont and Bacon streets was passed to print af- ter motions to refer to the Health and Police Committee and to defer for a week had been lost. The board took time by the forelock and re-elected James W. McDonald and George Bowen kire Comm:ssioners to succeed hemselves. Such action was not neces- <ary be'ore the next meeting, but rather than <tand the pulinz and Rauling to ich the members have been subjected was thought best to have the matter | settled at once. A resolution was passed to print estab- lishing the boundaries of the Pound limits as foliows: By Lyon street from the southerly aua west- eriy lines of the Presidio Reservation to the besch, the waters of the bay a.d of the Pacific Ocean, J street, Seventh avenue, the westerly and southerly lines of the Almshouse Traci Balboa boulevard, Corbeit avenue, Southein Pacific Railrond northwesterly (0 its intersec- tion with Suunyside avenue, thence on straight line southwesterly o Islais str hence 10 Mission street, thence on & straig sterly to the ensterly line of St Marv's to tne easterly line of Holliday Map ce to the northwesterly line of Payson hence onl & straight line northeasteriy the intersect of Crescent avenne and jruno avenue or road, Islais Creck and ithe bay from Isiais Creek and a S Lyon street. An order repealing the ordinance pro- hibiting the seliing of poois except within the conlines of n racetrack was introduced vy Supervisor Rivers. Mr. Rivers stated that tbe ordinance had been declared u constitutional and that he propo<ed to troduce an order which would effectual cover the grourd and stand in the courts. The matter was postponed one week. Mayor Pnelan’s veto of the order pro- viging for the expanditure of $4000 for the purchase of sites for engine-houses was overruled. On moti'n of Supervisor Delany Thomas B. Dolan was appointed assisiant keeper of the Fourtu-street bridge, vice Benjamin Brower removed. James Hvnes was appointed a janitor in the City Hall, vice Charlex Erkson dis- missed, on motion of Supervisor Mortor Supervisor Britt’s ordinance revising the plumbing rules and regulations was passed to print Sl 42 STREET IMPROVEMENTS.

ARE OUR MORALS BAD? Ethical Conditions in California Discussed by Min- isters, Rev. A.J. Wells Introduces the Club's Subject at the Unitarian | Circle's Banquet. The ethieal conditions of California was the subject discussed by the minis- ters and guesis of the Unitarian Club at its bi-month!y banquet at the California Hotel last nignt. The discussion was in- troduced by Rev. A. J. Wells, pastor of the Second Unitarian Church, by a paper in which he said in part: Itis taken for granted by many excellent people that California’s morais are bad, and the query, we r-sume, is todetermine whether we are sciually as bud as we are reoute | to be. Tue ciimaie of the State has a fatal tendency to teget optimisiic views of life. Religions and scets nnd { ds have muitiplied, and there isa revival oi superstitions alr ady deemed outworn in the middle ages, piving evidence that the old faith hns lost its grip upon life. 1f weof Ca.ilornia are worse than the aver- age we must ook back to the rude beginning of the Stute. A passion for gold and adven- ture brought togsther in a few shor. moments a motley crowd, ali animated by a selfish and absorbing passion. s 1s the usual s tatus of California bad ? 1f so, how does it differ irom the Eastern States? What we lack is devotion to the home; respect for parental nuthority, reverence for the in- stitution of marrisge, & more dignified jour- lism, a sense of social responsibility. Does 1e average daily newspaper fairly represent We would fafn believe that the average in- telligence, refinement and morals of soeiety are above thut of the average newspaper. A crent paper isa commercial investment. It exists to make money and in tne fierce com petitions of our modern ife profit becomes its chietconcern. The high trustof gniding public opinion and eaucating the pubde mind is steadily subordinated in the interests of iis volitical party and to its financial sdvantage. it works up the detnils of vice and crime in way that transcends all public duty, and Ap- parently for the sake of an element of our population that woul! not buy a paper if 1t were not sensational. Now, that public opinion here is not law we donot meun to say. We may not shift our responsibility on the press. The whole tone of Saciety is weak, but it is not weaker here | than eisewhere, even though we can detect a flavor of the early regime in oursocial irre- spousibility. co CHARTER CONVENTION, Business Transacted at a Meeting in the Mills Ruilding Last Evening.

A R OK , Livestoc GIVE OF THY ST0RE Avctioneer, A Donation Party in Aid of the California Women's Hospital. The ladies who are managing the Women’s Hospital out on Sacramento street have invited the charitable people | of San Francisco to a big donation party. A committez will be reaay all day to- morrow and Wednesday at Ickleheimer | Bros.”, 20 Geary street, to receive guestsand what is more to the purpuse, donations. When Tre CALL some weeks ago called attention to the needs of this most worthy charity its appeal was answered by numercus letters and various sug- | gestions for the Lelp of the women who | suffer. From the tone of these letters | thiere can be no doubt that the nearts of | S2n Franciscans are touched ty the | | | thougnt of ailinz motners suffering for the want of medical attention. . “If I were vich,” said one, “I could not wisb for a better use for my money.’” 1f the respectables won't take the | thing in band,” said a letter bru-que in | tone but full of ndly feeiing, “‘let’s ap- p alto the sports, the pugilists, who have hearts as well as fists. They’!l listen. T ere isn’t one of them that hus hasn’t a warm spot in his breast for woman- kina.” The directors of the Women’s Hospital will receive gratefully any donation that may be of use in carrving out their benev- olent plans. They need money, of course, and one requires not the gift of prophecy to count upon their receiving generous help just now when Thanksgiving thoughis are thawing cold hearts, and generous ones are overflowing with sym- | pathetic intentions. But they also need coal, so that that marvelous operating- room and its perfection of surgical appli- ances may be of fullest use, and there's some specially benevolent man or woman 1n San Francisco who will make good this particular deficiency. And. they need groceries, too, delicacies and substantials, so that worn, exhausted women may be prepared physically for the strain of capi- tal operations, and that they may be strengthened afterward, before going back to a life of hardship. Linen s needed, bedding—everything, in short, that the Lousewife provides wnen sickness isin | her own home. Every reader of THE CALL may consider this a speciul invitation to the party at lckelheimer Bros. on Geary street. It is a very select affair, for only people who are moved by thegracions, beautiful spirit of chari y will be there. A full attend- ance is assured. There will be no regrets except from those whose purses are not so big as their hearts.
