Often the | thought is disregarded, and as a result the taste of the chiid for literature is destroyed. Parsing, diagraming and analyzing may be useful as subsidiary | helps, but the principal idea should be | to bring out the beauty of the thought. | Much of the grammar that is now | taught, however, would be rendered | | unnecessary if the passage were prop- | erly and intelligently read.

SCAVENGERY GRIEVANCES The Other Side of the Question Fully Set Forth. President of the Reduction Works Replies to Their Complaints. The Crematory Not Responsible for the Increased Charges Demanded. Ex-Mayor L. R. Ellort, president of the Sanitary Reduction Works, was seen yesterday in relation to com- plaints made by the scavengers of this city, in which they claim that since the establishment of the crematory they have been compelled to increase their charges to householders from 50 to 100 per cent to meet the charges of the crematory. He said: “It is not my purpose to enter into any controversy with the scavengers of this city. I desire only to have the situation placed before the | public®n its true light, hoping thereby to show that we are not responsible | for the increased charges made by the scavengers. The franchise for the in- cineration of the garbage of the city was granted us by the Board of Super- visors about two years ago, and the charges specifically set forth therein and have never been exceeded.” The following is contained in a letter to the secretary of the Merchants’ As- sociation and in a measure covers the ground: In reply cerning complal to your communication, con- ints which have reached your association relating to certain exor- bitant increase in the charges of scavengers for hauling away garbage, I desire to say that the c Works are not responsible for any such increase, if there has been one. Prior to the introduction of an inciner- ator for the disposal of garbage in this | city, 1 ascertained by investigation that the ‘scavengers received about $30,000 per month for gathering the refuse and dis- They now pay this com- pany about $140 per day for taking it from them and destroying it by fire, or about 33300 per month. The receipts of the Sanitary Reduction Works for cre- mating the garbage are a matter of rec- ord and may be ascertained by consult- ing our books. I need not say that the latter are open at any time for the in- spection of your association. 1 have been informed that the scaven- | their charges form If_they have done so they are using the Sanitary Reduction Works for the purpose of extorting money from the public. The greatest in- crease necessary, if any, in order to en- 9 to 100 per cent. able them to pay for burning their refuse, | should not exceed 20 per cent, which in most cases would not exceed 5 or 10 cents per month for each householder. It is the intention of the Sanitary Re- duction Works to prevent extortion if ible, even if it is compelled to em- persons to collect the garbage it- In any event, I do not propose that the company shall be held responsible for whatever each individual scavenger may choose to charge for gathering the gar- bage. The fact is a very slight increase, if any, in their rates will pay for burn- ing the refuse of this city. Mr. Ellert said further: “The city is | interested in the crematory to the ex- tent of 3 per cent upon the gross re- ceipts thereof, which he estimates will amount to about $500,000 during the term of the franchise, which is for fifty As a matter of self-defense the reduction works are putting on a large number of sanitary carts, and many contracts have already been made with householders and others for the col- lection of garbage, cinders, etc. It is expected that the whole city will be | covered within the next six months.” THE BALL WAS A SUCCESS. | Council No. 59 of the ¥. M. I at Native Sons’ Hall. The first annual ball given by Ca- thedral Council No. 59 of the Y. M. I. at Native Sons’ Hall last Thursday even- ing proved to be one of the most success- ful given this year. ‘I'nere were about two hundred couples present, among this number being many prominent members and officers of the institute. It was a full dress affair, and strictly invitational. The committee of arrangements consisted of the following members of the council: John D. Mahony, Arthur Dollard, Fred Farmer, Louis A. Kelly, P. A. Farrell, James M. Hyland, Thomas F. Ryan, W. A. Hofmann, Chester W. Keogh and Wil- liam Lynch. The floor committee consisted of the following: William F. Humphrey, Wil- liam ary, Willlam Moore, Ed L. Mil- an, W. Hopper and B. J. Hyland. Those appointed on the reception com- mittee were: Dr. James P. O'Connor, Wil- liam P. Henry. Frank 8. Drady, Jules Hancock, Willlam Rattigan and J. J. Clifford. E. J. Dollard, the floor director, was as- sisted by Constant J. Auger. McKAY MUST PAY. | His Former Wife Sgcures Alimony for Her Minor Children. In 1884 Emma McKay secured a di- McKay, the court awarding her the custody of the two minor children. Mrs. McKay afterward remarried. In 1897 the old case was re- opened and the plaintiff petitioned the court for alimony for the maintenance of the children in the sum of $50 a month each from the time of the divorce, and also for the same amount until the further order of the court. The court granted the petition, giving her $3750 alimony. From this McKay ap- pealed, filing a bond. Then the court made an order directing him to pay $250 to the children to defend the case in the Supreme Court. The defendant next ap- plied for a writ of certierari to the Su- preme Court to review the acts of the lower court. ’ The Supreme Court finds that in accord- ance with section 38 of the Civil Code the Superior Court has the power to make the order for maintenance of children at The pe- ———— Asks for Dissolution. The directors of the Odd Fellows' Li- brary Association, Max Goldman, J. M. Williston, Willlam Thackeray, Marucs Rosenthal, Charles A. Sumner, George J. Strong and John W. Perry, have appuied to the courts for a dissolution of that corporation. The directors decided to ap- ply for a disgolution of the association at a meeting held on the 12th inst. e —— Divorce Suits Filed. Rose Fentrier has commenced a divorce suit against her husband, Peter, for di- vorce on the ground of extreme cruelty. Marie Ostrom has applied for a di- vorce from O.

Slattery and Ann McNamara have applied for letters of administration on the estate of John Sullivan, who dled on the 14th inst. The value of the estate does not exceed $10,000. —_——————————— SAM WALLER ARRAIGNED. The Accused School Director Will Plead to the Charge Against Him Next Saturday. School Director Samuel H. Waller was erraigned in Department 12 of the Supe- rior Court yesterday morning upon the Indictment of the Grand Jury. charging him with offering to accept a bribe of $500 from Eli T. Shepard to secure the appointment of Miss Evelyn L. Shepard as_a teacher in the substitute class. When the case of Waller was called At- torney Peter F. Dunne, who represented the accused, listened intently to the read- ing of the indictment, and then asked the court to grant his client a week in which to plead, or devise or make such motion as should be deemed advisable. Judge Cook granted the application and the | :‘ase went over till next Saturday morn- ng. FOR GLORY AND GOLD This Is the Slogan of ‘“Mexican Pete,” Hate of Cripple Creek, Colorado. A Heavy-Weight, Just Arrived, Who Challenges California Pugilists. Peter Everett of Cripple Creek, Col., known in pugilistic circles as “Me)f(can | Pete,” Is a new acquisition to San Farn- | cisco’s sporting circles, he having arrived in the city yesterday morning. Everett is the heavy weight champion | of Colorado, and a long string of victories | is claimed for him, without a single de- | feat to detract from their glory. His lat- est achlevement was at Cripple Creek on the night of the 1ith inst, when he| | knocked out Billy Woods in six rounds. This new aspirant for gladiatorial fame has invaded this part of the land for the purpose of inviting local heavy weights | to tread on the tail of his coat. Provinclal | victories have commenced to pall on his thirst for gore, and he feels that he is entitled to a compensative whack at some of “the big 'uns,” to thrash whom would | be something like an honor. He has had enough of the small fry of country pug- dom and yearns for a go at the best tal- ent in California’s fistic arena. | “Pete” will go Into training at once at | Jim Carr's place, Sutter street and Cen- | tral avenue, and hopes to arrange for a | mill before long. An effort is to be made to fix a match for him at the Jackson- Jeffries mill before the Olympic Club on | the night of March 22. He is delightfully | impartial as to the personality of his an- | tagonist and is generous enough to bar | none. | The newcomer is a man of fine physique, displaying undoubted indications of both | strength and agility. He weighs from 170 to 175 pounds when in_condition and is only 23 years of age. He claims to have fought thirty-three battles. | “Pete” is also a great lover of coursing, | and he brought hither from his old home | half a" dozen fleet-footed hounds, which are to run in the Grace cup competition at Ingleside next Saturday. What with his dogs and his “dukes,” he claims to be | well-equipped for his campaign for lucre | and renown. | e | Neglect of Children. | The California Society for the Preven- | tion of Cruelty to Children has been pe- | | titioned by George Sells, a railroad man | 23 Folsom street, to aid him in | securing the custody of his two minor | clitldren from his former wife, who keeps | a lodging house at 19 Sixth strest. ije | says that she is not a proper person to | have the care of the children, and al- | leges that she once ran away from her home In Bakersfleld with Henry Black- - well, an engineer whom Sells had | friended. He says he forgave this, but | wken ste repeated the performance with a mun named Connors_ he furned her | away fiom her home.

By Rough Estimate the Valuation Placed at $38,000,000. The Famous Library and Other Belongings Worth Half a Million. NO APPRAISEMENT YET. Colonel Little and David Rich Sworn, but Thomas Magee Away on a Hunting Trip. A rough appraisement of the estate of Adolph Sutro, declared to be of un- sound mind and incompetent of manag- ing his affairs two weeks ago by Su- perior Judge Belcher, gives its value as in the neighborhood of $3,000,000. It is believed that it is, if anything, worth a little over this amount. The regular appraisement has not yet been made and the statement that such was a thing of the past is denied by Attorney Reuben H. Lloyd. Yesterday the lawyer appeared in the County Clerk’'s rooms at the City Hall with a document. It was given to Deputy Clerk Northrup, who stamped it in the belief that it was to be filed, but it was taken away. This gave rise to a belief that the official ap- praisement had been finished. Ac- cording to Attorney Lloyd, the docu- ment was nothing more or less than a certification by the clerk that Colonel Little, Thomas Magee and David Rich had been appointed appraisers of the estate by the court. This certification is necessary before any of them can be sworn. As evidence of the fact that there has as yet been no official appraise- ment, Attorney Lloyd cites the fact that only two of the appraisers have been sworn, Little and Rich, who ap- peared before Notary Public Holland Smith and duly qualified to act yester- day. Magee is away on a hunting trip and no harmonious action is pos- sible until he returns. A rough appraisement places the value of the estate at about $3,000,000. The land holdings are enormous and inelude among them the Byfield tract, real estate along the line of the Haight | street railway, the Cliff House prop- erty and Sutro Heights. Then there is the CIliff House bath prop- erty and Sutro’s library. The land holdings represent about an eighth part of the city and are worth about $2,500,000. The library is placed at about $250,000 and personal belongings, including art treasures at the Heiglfts, furniture, pictures, etc., are placed at as much more. Mrs. Merritt, the physician, daugh- ter of Sutro, is now in the active ad- ministration of her trust as guard- ian. ———e——————— WOMAN SWINDLER CAUGHT. Minnie Campbell and Her Accom- plice Arrested in Los Angeles. Captain Bohen recelved a dispatch early yesterday morning from Chief Glass of Los Angeles that Minnie Campbell and her alleged brother, William Lewis, had been arrested there. Policeman W. F. Brophy left by last evening's train to bring them back to the city. The story of their villainy was told ex- clusively in Friday's Call. The woman some months ago met Alfred Overend, a wealthy capitalist, in this city, who be- came enamored of her. By various pre- texts the woman, assisted by Lewis, who was introduced to Overend as her brother, swindled him out of about $10,- 000. He finally became suspicious and complained to Chief Lees, and Policeman Brophy was detailed on the case. The woman and Lewis fled from the city, but nniw they will have to answer for their crime. CHARSED WITH MAYHEM F. L. Turpin, Proprietor of the Royal House, Arrested. F. L. Turpin, proprietor of the Royal House, 126 Ellis street, was arrested yes- terday afternoon on a charge of may- hem. He was immediately released on bonds. The complaining witness, J. P Rudd, a miner, is lying in the Recelving Hospital with a broken leg. His story is that he had been living in the Royal, but for pri- vate reasons Turpin wanted to get rid of him. Friday night, while Rudd was sit- ting in the office Turpin called him out, and, picking him off his feet, threw him down a flight of stairs. Rudd was taken to the hospital, where it was found that both bones of his left leg were broken. Rudd savs he came from Alaska last September, and was preparing to return but this accident will upset his® plans. He has a claim there. —_——————————— Booked for Burglary.

Past Great Sachem Williams of New York in a letter to Past Great Sachem Chase of this city says: The Red Men in New York are still booming. We have instituted since last August seventeen tribes, with an average membership of seventy-five. I should judge that the gain in New York State for the term is about 2000, if not more.
