Because I re- fused to be cajoled or coerced into do- ing something I did not deem to be right—that is what I remember hav- ing said—my character was aspersed. ‘““What hurt those fellows,” added the Supervisor, “was my remarks about that these violated pledges, with which the people are familiar.

The sixteen thousand that Mr. Coleman epoke so feelingly of a few nights ago is now almost in hand, and as the sum grows new prospects of more brilliant events for the great celebration are un- folding themselves. The parade will be the feature of the day. There will be more troops in line, both regular and miuta, than have tramped the rough cobbles in many a vear, and the pageant which will follow the military column will call out nearly | every able-bodied and patriotic citizen of the city. ‘There will be ten companies of the First United States Infantry, elght batteries of the Third United States Artillery, four troops of the Fourth United States Cav- alry, the brigade and regimental staffs and the two regimental bands. Following these will come two regiments of militia and as many divisions of the Naval mili- tia as can be brought together. The un- usually large line of miuta will be as- sured; as a result of the action of the parade committee in appropriating $1000 to defray the expenses of Lae out-of-town companies. A half-rate has been secured from the railroad for unitormed men, and the money will be devoted to the trans- portation of the men. It has also been decided that the plan to start the parade at 10:30 o’clock means pretty nearly all the words imply. The column shall start at that time, say the members of the parade committee, and those, organizations which are not in line at the proper time will have to fall in at the end of it all. This rule is laid down as absolute. The Chinese division will be under the leadership of Robert L. Park, a well-edu- cated Chinese, who is instructor of Eng- lish in a Chinese schocl in this city and a student at the State University. He speaks English perfectly and with littie or no accent, and he i{s most enthusiastic over the part his countrymen will take in the celebration. He has selected as his aids Leong Poon and Lee Chin. Chung and Leonard Leon have been ap- pointed aids to the grand marshal. The Chinese expect to have at least 100 men on foot in the parade, besides those who will be on the big float. Ah A novel float, representative of Cala- veras County, is contemplated for the parade by the miners of Angels Camp. Since the Spanish word “Calaveras” sig- nifies “‘skull,” the float will be a represen- tation of a skull, large enough in size to correspond with the total output of goid from the county. Pacific Parlor's jubllee ball on January 24, at Native Sons’ Hall, will be an af- falr of exceptional brilllancy. The committee of arrangements con- sists of Daniel A. Ryan (chairman), Frank R. Neville, Joseph H. Cunnmg- ham, Paul McDermott, Josenh K. Haw- kins, Willlam H. Hazel and Frank Smith. The committee from the Native Daugh- ters in charge of the feminine portion of the celebration met in profoundest se- crecy last night and decided to add to the costume already selected for the young ladies who are to ride in the parade a white velvet cloak lined with gold, to be worn loosely over the shoulders of each fair equestrienne. The place the ladies are to have in the parade is giving them some concern. It is generally understood that they will be escorted by the Native Sons, but that was not definite enough for them, and it was finally decided that they should hold the place between the Exempt Firemen and the Veterans. Their float, too, although it had been already decided upon, was a matter for considerable discussion. They promise that it will be the gem of the parade. P. J. Healy of the Miners’ Fair commit- tee called during the meeting with a re- quest from the miners’ committee that the ladies set a day during the fair which could be devoted to the Native Daugh- ters. A committee consisting of Mrs. C. J. Rader, Buena Vista Parlor, Mrs. A. E. Barbich of La Estrella and Mrs. Day of Golden Gate was, appointed to take the matter in charge. thirty days after the judgment is ren- dered. The rates are not fixed until Sep- tember, and the taxes are not collected until ‘November, hence there need be no alarm of the Supervisors jumping at the z00 bait right away. While I voted for the surveying of the land, I gave notice | that I would move to amend that portion which 'said that the Supervisors had in- tended to instruct the City and County Attorney to commence condemnatory pro- ceedings. This final clause I objected to then, and object to still. It entails ex- pense to commence court proceedings, | and, moreover, we have no money to pay | for the land to-morrow even if we agreed on the price. 1 say, go slow about ing additional burdens on the people. We have other and. greater necessities de- manding attention at the present time. Our hospitals are in a very bad condition, and this comes before the care-taking of monkeys and polar bears. SUPERVISOR DELANY—I stand now roposition. I am not in favor of buying this, or any other land, for a park, simply because some men who may have a piece of prop- erty for sale want to sell- it to the city at thelr fancy price. When I am satis- fled that the people—the taxpayers out of whose pocket the money comes—de- sires this or any other property for pub- lic‘use, then, and only then, shall 1 vote to purchase it. At the best the office of a Bupervisor is an unthankful one. No matter which way you vote you are sure to offend some one, and that one will cry “boodle.” I now say, and am ready to swear, that I have yet to receive the first dollar by reason of my position as a Su- pervisor, other than my salary of $100 a month. 'If there be a business 1 know it not, 1t and vote against the proposition. SUPERVISOR DEVANY—My reason for offering the resolution which required ap- | a survey *was because 2000 property- owners in the Mission had signed a peti- tion favoring this site for a park. Now, I think when 2000 property-owners sen: in a_petition to their re, the Board of Supervisors on this o other question it is the duty of th pervisors to at least pay respectful at- tention to it. This is all we have done so far, and my offering this resolution call- ing for a survey does not in any manner bind me to vote for its purchase. The manner in which the board proposes to dispose of this entire subject by having it decided in a court of equity before a jury precludes any possible chance for jobbery on the part of the Supervisors. So much for that phase of the question. As for a change of front on my part, there Is none. I am undecided now as to whether I should vote for the pur- chase or not; that comes later when I find out whether the people, or a suffi- cient number of the taxpayers, want it or not. If they do they shall have it and it they do not we will not force it on em. SUPERVISOR BRITT—I have not said that T would vote to buy this property at present or in the near or distant future. am undecided as to that, but when a respectable number of citizens and tax- payers come with a petition respectfully worded asking for anything in the gift of the Board of Supervisors which belong to the general public, as does this, it is our duty to give the petitioners a re- spectful hearing. The only way that we, as Supervisors, can ascertaln whether the citizens want this tract of land for a public park and 200 Is to give them an opportunity to so express it. This we will e Su- job in’ this park | do before submitting the matter to a and if I should | court for condemnation. find out that there be one I will oppose | being in it, As for any job I have failed to see it crop out. There may be a job in it for the people who want to sell their land to th City at a fancy price.

There will als four men to represent the four provinces and the float will be es- corted by Ive men in armor. The Ploneers have all been notified that they will each be given a number, which will entitle th e holder to a seat In a cer- tain hack d to avoid confusion the hackmen will be ordered to take no one Wwho has not the proper card. 1As such a large attendance is expected at the r ception to be held on the evening of the 2ith, but one ticket, entitling the holder and two les to enter, will be allowed each member. The Superv. have appointed F. L. Glass and T. L. Me- Mahon aids to the grand marshal from that county. Mr. Healy {s busy inspecting dancers and dancing in order that he may be properly gtalified to select for the com- Ing fair. He spent all day -at it yester- day, and what pretty dancers he did not see then he will see on some other occa- sion. He doesn't object to the work, and says he will have the best If every pretty foot in the city must kick for his own individual delectation. The proposition of the management of the fair to outfit all brides and grooms who will guarantee to go to the Klondike has brought in ten applications, and there Will be more to follow. It is the inten- ton to set apart some night on which all the couples may be married at the same time—a sort of matrimonial night. As a result of the petition made by the jubllee executive comimittee in regard to the public school children having a holi- day, the Board of Education has decided that the public schools of San Francisco shall be closed from January 21 to Janu- ary 29, fnclusive.

Besides Having Her Pocket | Rifled She Was Thrown Downstairs. Joseph Gibson, the Robber, Captured, Alter an Exciting Chase, by ! Policeman Flinn. Mrs. Eugenle J. Goss, the landlady of the Tremont House, 523 Kearny street, was the victim of a cowardly attack at an early hour yesterday morning at the hands of one of her lodgers. About two weeks ago Joseph Gibson, hired a room in the house and when the first week was up she asked him for the rent, but he put her off with an excuse that he was just then out of | funds. The second week expired Mon- | day night and after he left she locked up his room as he had not paid her any money. Mrs. Goss officiates as her own night clerk and about 4 o'clock yesterday morning she received a visit from Gib- son. He wanted to know why she had locked up his room and she told .him that he could not stay there any longer unless he pald the rent due. Gibson | sald he had money in his room and if she would go with him he would pay her. | They started to go upstails, Mrs. | | Goss leading. She wore a shawl round | her shoulders and when they were half- | way up the stairs Gibson seized the | shawl and threw it over her head and | face, holding it tight with one hand to | prevent her screaming. With the other hand he took $4 from her pocket and threw her down stairs. He then ran down stairs and out of the house. Mrs. Goss picked herself up and staggered into the street, screaming for help. | Policeman T. R. Flinn was on Sac- | ramento street near Kearny and heard her screams. At the same time he saw a man running up Sacramento street | toward Dupont. He gave chase and | succeeded in capturing Gibson, who had taken refuge between two houses | on California street. Gibson surrendered without a strug- gle and Flinn took him back to the Tremont House, where Mrs. Goss iden- tified him and preferred a charge of robbery against him. He was taken to the City Prison and booked on the charge. Although the police say that Gibson is a worthless character there is no record of any serious crime against him und it is supposed he had com mitted the robber: peration.

Bunko Men and Pickpockets Will Be Arrested as Soon as They Land and Kept in Prison. In view of the approaching Golden Ju- bilee, when a large number of pickpock- ets and bunko men may be expected from other centers, Captain Bohen has in- tructed his detectives to arrest evers one on sight and lock them up until strangers vi: ng for that occasion have left. The same action will also be taken in regard to local pickpockets and sure- | thing men. “I don’t believe,” said the captain yes- terday, “that there is a single bunko man | in this city at the present time. John E. Gagus, the king of them all, and three of his followers, Thomas Bailey, Charles Morgan and Samuel Whitney, who were arrested last week for trying a trick on a visiting miner and were charged with va- grancy, were the last of the gang. “Gagus faithfully promised me that he would never try a bunko trick again and | was willing to be known as a reformed gambler. I believed his words and as the | other three agreed to leave the city I had | the charges of vagrancy withdrawn. “When the Bryan party came to this | State during the beginning of last July, Joe Green, a notorious bunko man from the East, and his gang accompanied them | everywhere, but when Bryan came to | this city they were afraid to follow. Two of them came as far as Oakland, and I | sent two of my men over and got them | to return home. During the Christian Endeavor convention the city was freer | of pickpockets and bunko men than on | any other former occasion, and only a | few trifling losses were reported. | “T want to say that there has been less | stealing since I became captain of detec- | tives than for years, and in one night | when I was a detective I have seen more | stolen than during the whole of the past | seven or eight months. It should not be | forgotten that this is a seaport town and | criminals of all classes arrive here from | all parts of the world.” ! —_————————— American Torchon mat boards, visiting, | wedding, tally and programme cards, | matting and drawing papers, vegetable | parchment, tracing cloths and all other | things that are good in fine stationery | and artists’ materials.
