At a meet- ing of the Park Commission at the Paric Lodge yesterday afternoon it was de cided to ask permission of the city to place the poles inside the park. It was proposed to beautify the boulevard by planting palms on both sides. As soon as the old steam railway is removed it is proposed to remove the depot at the intersection of the two streets, where the boulevard will be placed. —_—————————— A BABY SHOW FOR CHARITY. The Manngers_nf ‘the Nathaniel Gray Kindergarten Give an Enter- tainment. The afternon tea given at the residence of Mrs. A. Whitney yesterday in aid of the Nathaniel Gray Kindergarten proved a success far beyond the most sanguine expectations of the managers. A feature of the afternoon’s entertain- ment was the exhibition, or more proper- ly speaking, the baby show, which was held in the back parlors, immediately af- ter the rendition of the musical pro- gramme. There were three distinct kinds | of babfes on exhibition—white, black and vellow. | The little yellow tot was the daughter | of Lee Bing Chow, a prominent and of the city. sed im_all the finery of a truly ro by, and had bangles on her ankles and rings on her fingers galore. Her feet were dressed in a pair of slippers resembling closely those seen S0 often on dolls in. the show windows of toy shops, with the exception that they were of slightly different pattern. The black baby was a little negress in swaddling clothes hardly a year old. Her little ebony face shone from the white | recess of its “long clothes” like a black bull's eye on a white fence. The next type of infantile beauty was the Caucasian. The pale-faced babies were enrolled as follows: Miss Florence Livingston Morris, although but eighteen | Miss Chow w dancing an'Irish Jig in baby fashion and by gaining the opinion that she was the p}l;eul(-_st and most popular baby in the show. Then came Miss Marfon Willis Stopel and Master Jennings, who couldn’t exact- ly_understand what it was all about. Several detectives were searching the city last night for two young men who vainly attempted to blackmail Rudin. off, the clever shadowgrapher and car caturist, who has delighted crowds at the Orpheum Theater. | A few days ago Rudinoff received a | note signed “R. K. Jones,” in which the | writer informed him that he had a photograph of him, on the back of which were written some 1ndecent‘ words. The writer gave his address as room 26, 223 Powell street, and asked Rudi- | noff to call, as he was anxious to see | him. | “This is of vital interest to you,” he wrote. “Your reputation depends upon | your securing the photograph.” While regarding the note as a joke, the clever artist, on the suggestion of a friend, went to police headquarters and informed Chief Lees of the matter. | Realizing that the author of the note | intended to blackmail Rudinoff, Chief Lees detailed two/of his best men to make an investigation. | | At their request Rudinoff answered the mysterious epistle, informing the writer that he was anxious to get the photograph, and would meet him at 2 | 0’clock the following afternoon. One of | the detectives went to the man’s room at the appointed hour, but failed to find | him. It is thought that the confeder- | ate was stationed in the hallway, and | as the detective appeared he in some | | way communicated with his fellow con- | spirator, with the result that the latter | made his escape. Subsequently Rudinoff was accosted | by one of the blackmailers, who, after | introducing himself under a fictitious | name, produced the photograph. | “It is of no use to me,” he remark- | ed, “and as myself and friend are in| hard luck perhaps you would like to | buy it.” The young man did not put a price {on the picture but intimated that as it would injure Rudinoff as an attraction he ought to be willing to give him a considerable sum of money to get pos- session of it. The artist took the picture, and re- cognizing it as one he had distributed to the Orpheum patrons in honor of his first appearance at that theater, he promptly tore it up. Turning to the blackmailer he roundly scored him and | | threatened to hand him over to the | | police. The young man realizing that | Rudinoff meant what he said quickly | disappeared up O’Farrell street. Chief | Lees has a good description of the two | men and he is determined to land them | in prison. WILL ATTEMPT T0 ~ RAISE THE DEBT Non-Interest Bearing Bonds to | Be Issued by the Mercan- tile Library | Receptions Will Be Given to Cre- | | ate a Spirit of Fra- | ternity. | That one of the oldest libraries in the | State should want for assistance and be allowed to be threatened by bankruptey | apd not a willing hand extended toward lowering the hanging debt over the Mer- | cantile Library seems a pity. This was the general opinion at the r ception glven last night by the ladie auxiliary to the new board of trustees in the library building on Van Ness avenue. | The reception was given for the purpose of creating a spirit of fraternity between | the members and the trustees and to| outline the proposed course to be | adopted in the future in trying to build the affairs of the library to a certain | development where it will be self-sustain- ing, and also to discuss the proposition | of lssuing non-interest-bearing bonds to - the entire amount of indebtedness. These bonds will be disposed of by the | association to subscribers or outsiders who are willing to buy them, receiving in | exchange a practical lien 6n the prop- | erty, and wiil consequently run abso- | lutely no risk of losing thefr momey. | President McGee delivered an address | on the subject of the sack of patronage on the part of the people of the city man- | ifested toward the library, and that in the future the oversight might be made up by the institution being more liber- ally patronized and encouraged. he reception last evening was under the immediate direction of the ladies’ | auxiliary. These Teceptions will be given from time to time to create gn interest in the af- fairs of the librar and to promote the social relations of ‘the members. —_—e————— Racing Ordinance Goes Over. Supervisor Clinton’s racing ordinance, which came up at the meeting of a spe- cial committee of the Board of Super- visors, was put over until next Wedne: day. At this time the owners of race > views on the subject of restricting racing to forty-eight days a year In this city. The matter would have gone on to-day had it not been that a letter was re- ceived from Frank Covey, manager of the Palo Alto stock farm, asking that some provision be made for ftrotting horse men, as it is likely that the run- ning races would take up the forty-eight days, and the trotting races would | be'left in the cold. Clinton stated that | he was willing to give all a falr chance, but he did not see how he could amend his ordinance so as to cover the ground. ——————— ‘Want Another Boulevard. That portion of Golden Gate Park bor- dering on Stanyan and Oak streets may soon be turned into a boulevard if a movement on foot, indorsed by Supervisor Devany, Is carried to a successful issue. One of the difficulties to be overcome is to dispose of the electric wire poles which line the sidewalk and stand in the way | Love,” | noon, | home at 24 A | and it had In conjunction with the baby show, the following programme was rendered: Solo, Miss Baston; selecti Messrs.

" Life Ground Out Between a Gravel Wagon and a Barn. Grover Mack, the five-year-old son of | Jacob Mack, an employe of the Exw‘lsinr‘ Tannery, had his head crushed between a wagon and a building yesterday after- | and died from the injuries. | The boy was I in front of hls‘ treet, when a gravel Walter Stone, backed g his head between a wheel and the side of a barn.

BAKER PROVES A WONDER Fought an Eight- Round Draw With Farmer O’Brien. The Latter Greatly Out- weighed the Former, but Couldn’t Land. O’Brien Was Very Game and Took Lots of Punish- ment. TRIED OUT IN BERKELEY. The Contest Was for a Purse of $280 — A Protested De- cision. A new bantam weight has stepped into the ring and demanded recognition, and this he will cértainly win, that is if grit, cleverness and a cool head count for anything. In the battle last night in the Beacon Athletic Club in West Berkeley, be- tween Farmer Eugene O’'Brien, of Con- tra Costa County, a member of the club, and Henry Baker, of Salt Lake City, the latter in the eight bloody rounds that were fought with four- ounce gloves clearly demonstrated | that he is a-comer that can go with any man of his pounds and give a good | account of himself. The fight was for eight rounds with a decision, and for a purse of $250, and although Referee Peter Unda called it a draw, it was certainly Baker’'s fight. The Salt Lake boy weighed in at 120 pounds, while O'Brien tipped the scales | at 138, but despite this great difference in weight the Easterner chopped up the countenance of the local fighter, and at the end Baker did not have a mark to show that he had been in a mill The farmer managed to knock Baker down in the fourth round, bur the latter never lost his head and only laughed at his adversary as he lay upon the floor and took his time to get up. O’Brien did the rushing, but Baker’'s cleverness was too much for him and he only landed once and that in the | first round. Baker was ail over the rinz“ and kept his opponent guessing with | his stiff left-hand punches. In the first round he closed O’Brien’s right eye, and a few rounds later he opened a nice seam in the farmer’s right cheek. Had there have been one more round Baker would certainly have put out the local | man. | Competent critics who witnessed the | fight declare that Baker can defedt any man of his weight in n Francisco. Baker is under the management of J. | A. Lestrang, and open to offers to ail comers In his class. MAY BE INELIGIBLE. Auditor Broderick Is Uncertain Re- garding the New Registrar of Voters. ‘Willam J. Biggy, the new Registrar of Voters appointed by Governor Budd, may have some trouble with Auditor Broder- ick when he comes to file the bond that administration in the Audi-| tor's Mr. Biggy was one of the Phelan ap- potu for the office of Supervisor at | the time when an attempt was made to oust the present board, and filed a bond with selentiously perform the duties of his | office. The Supreme Court now has the matter in hand, and, as far as the law is concerned, the Auditor does not know whether he is Supervisor or not. Should the time that the Supreme Court decides his right to hold the office of Supervisor, it is a question in the Auditor mind which will constitute a legal claim to public office. —_—————————— ENTERED VACANT HOUSES.
