The | fact that the proceeds will be devoted | to charity will draw crowds who would | otherwise never visit a bench show, and the Four Hundred will turn out en masse. To judge by the number of en- tries made by the feminine leaders of local society, the rage for doggy pets must be strong in those circles. The kennels of the Marquis of Lans- | downe will be represented by one of the finest specimens of Irish terrier ever seen here, namely, Rodger, the property of Miss Nellie Bingham. Judging will commence promptly at p. m., and any dog absent from his stall when called will lose all right of competition. Owners can take their pets home after 10 p. m. by depositing | $5 as guarantee for their reappearance, | but the practice is to be deprecated, | as the animals will receive due care | and attention from the nightwatchman | employed by the San Francisco Kennel | Club. | Famous among the recent arrivals | are some Cocker spaniels from the Swiss Mountain Kennels, Germantown, Pa. Among them is included the world- renowed “Banner Trilby,” who has won many prizes in Eastern exhibitions; among them being the first prize in the show at Washington, D. C., in 1897, and at Grand Rapids in 1898. Superintendent Oldham says that the best time to see the show is at the | opening, because every owner will have his dog well groomed and well fed for his initiatory appearance. With the people in general the appearance of a dog goes far, and an animal well taken care of is apt to gain public favor over his superior who has been neglected. A big feature of the show will be a grand parade of dogs who have won prizes every day. The big fellows, St. Bernards, mastiffs, Great Danes and | Russian hounds will be among the first to be judged, and therefore will be in that parade every day. The sporting dogs, “the fighters,” are largely represented among the entries and the lovers of the “pugnacious pup” will find much to admire. ALASKA NAVIGATION. 2 Rules by the Treasury Department for the Conduct of Vessels Ply- ing on the Stikine River. Customs Collector Jackson yesterday was notified by the Secretary of the Treasury that the transfer of cargo or passengers from a vessel, from any port in the United States (except another port or place in Alaska), or from any foreign port, to a vessel destined by way of the mouth of the Stikine River or its con- necting rivers and lakes, and the tran fer of cargo or passengers from a ves: destined_by way of the mouth of the Stikine River from any port or place vn the Stikine River or its connecting rivers | and lakes, to any American port or place ! (except to another port or place in Alas- ka) or any foreign port, shall be permit- ted only at the port of Wrangel under the supervision of officers of customs. { ny vessel in the coasting trade of the | United States destined from a port in the | United States (elsewhere than in Alaska) or from a forelgn port for any port on the Stikine River or its connecting rivers and lakes, shall enter at Wrangel in the man- ner prescribed b{‘ law. Such vessel may then proceed to her place of destination, or transfer her cargo and passengers if destined for a port in Alaska to another American vessel. which may proceed ac- cording to the regulations governing the entry and clearance of vessels in the same customs district; or transfer her cargo and passengers, if destined to a &nrt or place in British Columbia or the orthwest Territory, to an American or British vessel, which shall clear from Wrangel in the manner provided by law. A vessel descending the Stikine River from ports or Rlaces In British Columbia from the Northwest Territory, in ballast OT cargo, or Dassengers or both, shall | come to Wrangel or such port near the boundary between Alaska and British Columbia or the Northwest Territory, as may hereafter be designated, and- shall there report in compllance with the pro- vislons of section of the Revised S Soxicating lauor shall b o Intoxica! shal e sold used on said vessel at said place. ot 3 ot B S AR i i Ladies’ tailor-made suits: latest des weo | ing, | rea | bidding the same, $1 50 per thousand feet. | of Maryland, m-ml:n:l T Supervisor Rivers had charge of the job, and so stealthily and craftily did he per- form his work that nobody suspected the finish was so near at hand until the mat- ter came up for action yesterday. Six weeks ago The Call drew the atten- tion of the public to the gigantic robbery that was about to be perpetrated, and about the same time a rival electric light company undertook to break in upon the moncpoly by guaranteeing to save the | city $40,000 a year if it were granted equal | facilities with its rival in the way of ex- tending its service to the outside districts. The contract would expire on May 1 and The Call repeatedly warned the Su pervisors that if they intended to be hon- est with the taxpayers they would have to act promptly in advertising for bids, in order that the new company might pre- | pare to enter upon its obligations in case | t was awarded the contract. Attention | was also called to the proposal under which the last contract was let, by the terms of which competition was effect- ually choked off, and the Supervisors were cautioned against repeating the error. The Supervisor from the Twelfth final- y determined to bring the job to a close, | and soon after 9 o'clock last Friday morn- before anybody who might interfere hed the hall, Rivers and the other members of the Street Lights Committee met and opened the lone bid of the San Francisco Gas and Electric Company, the only concern that could bid under the terms of the proposal, and quickly voted to recommend its acceptance. The bids for gas lighting were also opened and the contract Slvldod between the Pacific Gas Improvement Company and the San Fran- cisco Gas and Electric Company, ~both Both recommendations were adopted yesterday, and so the electric light steal is perpetrated for two years more. But the agitation brought about some good, for ‘the company reduced its rate from 11 to 10 cents, which is not bad consider- ing that it supplies private consumers for 5l cents. Perhaps it intends to set its meters still faster and make up the dif- ference in that way. If it does it is not likely to meet with any opposition from Rivers and the other members of the ma- ority. J'l‘kw Supervisors also passed the reso- lution changing the name of Balboa boulevard to Dewey boulevard despite the strong opposition of Clinton, who upon final passage changed his vote from no to aye, and gave notice of a motion to reconsider next week. The contract for printing the delinquent tax list was lald over for a week. The Journal of Commerce, the lowest bidder, had withdrawn its bid of 21 cents a name, and the Supervisors regarded the bid of the Report, 40 cents a name, as exorbi- tant. However, the majority voted agalnst advertising for new bids, al- though the Mayor showed there was am- ple time to do so, and next week the con- tract will undoubtedly be awarded. The matter of the lease of the Sailors’ Home property was taken up again, and Lackmann's motion renewing the lease to the Iandles' Seaman’s Friend Society pre- vailed. The board adopted a resolution agree- | ing to save the State from any costs that may arise from the suit to be brought against the Fidelity and Trust Company to recover $100,000, the amount of ex-Treasurer Widber’'s bond | guaranteed by that company. Expert Newman, of the Finance Com- mittee, was Instructed to examine the records of the criminal departments of the Superior Court for the purpose of ascer- taining the amounts still due witnesses | and jurors who have served since the passage of the *‘fee bill.” Bills were received for the burial of in- digent dead as follows: Pacific Under- taking Company. $16 each; Joseph Hogan & Co., 38 25; J. 8. Godeau, $8 99; Edward Kelly, $8 05; McAvoy & Co., $9 5. pe A STREET IMPROVEMENTS. Summary of the Week’s Work of the Board.

The Police Are Now Scouring the Cty to Find Him, but With Small Hope of Success. Through somebody’s blunder John Kelly, alias Tyrell, a young “tough” 20 Yyears of age, is esjoying his liberty instead of being in the City Prison to answer to several charges of battery and robbery against him. Kelly and Thomas Stanton were ar- rested 6n the night of April 29 by Po- liceman E. J. Thomson and C. T. Mer- chant; Kelly on two charg s of bat- tery, and Stanton on a charge of bat- tery and one of disturbing the peace. The following day they were each booked on a charge of assault to com- mit robbery. The complaining witness was John B. Raffo, a scavenger, and he alleged that the defendants assault- ed him on his way home at Twenty- sixth street and San Jose avenue, and after knocking him down and beating him they attempted to rob him. He velled for help and they ran away. A few days later a charge of petty larceny v booked against Kelly, the complaining witness being Antone Bank. On that y the battery and assault to rob cases were continued till M 10 in Judge Joachimsen’s court. The petty larce ase against Kelly came up for hearing in the same court on Saturday, May 7, and after listen- ing to the evidence the Judge dismissed the case. When the battery and assault to rob cases were called on May 10 Kc..y could not be found. He shouid have been in the prison, but he was not there. Consternation prevailed among the at- taches of the court and. the prison of- ficials. There was a hurried investi- gation, and then it dawned upon their minds that when the case of petty larceny was dismissed azainst Kelly he was permitted to walk out of court. Chief Lees was notified and since then detectives and policemen in plain clothes have been hunting for Kelly, but he has not yet been found. The cases were again called in court yesterday morning, but as Raffo, the complaining witne: failed to appear a continuance was given till the after- noon. He did not shqw up then, and a continuance granted till Wed- nesday,” when it is_hoped that Kelly will be recaptured and Raffo will have got over his disgust at Kelly being al- lowed to escape. —_— e THE BUSH-STREET BOULEVARD. A Meeting of Property-Owners to Be Held on Thursday Evening. The property-owners on the line of Bush street over which it was proposed to have a boulevard are determined to fight the issue to the last. As a precaution against any snap judgment that may come from the Supervisors on the 26th inst., at which time the question will come up for final consideration before that august body, the property-owners are determined to haye their protest in in time. With this view a meeting will be held at the Went- worth Hotel, 617 Bush street, next Thurs- day evening, at which all of the owners of property on the line of Bush street opposed to the boulevard scheme will be present. In addition to the persons imme- diately interested. the Richmond District Improvement Club, of which President C. Hubbs is the chairman, will be present to co-operate with the others in having the t cut through the Laurel Hill Ceme- tapping the Western Valley beyond the cemeteries. The contention advanced by the Bush- street property-owners is to_ the effect that the street is not adapted for a boule- | vard and that it is a scheme on the part of the Sutter-street Railroad Company to | have this done so as to prevent any other proposed street railroad company from ghtalnlng a franchise over that thorough- are. Bush street In its present condition is not a business street, nor is it considered to be fit for a boulevard above all othep things. It has no outlet which would justify its being turned into a ‘“mock boulevard.” In its present condition it is nothing more nor less than a cul-de-sac, and as such it will remain until an open- ing is had at its western terminus. ————— Held for Grand Larceny. J. B. Johnson, from Arizona, who was accused of robbing George Russell, an old rancher, of $600 and then taking him to Eureka and dumping him there, was vesterday held to answer before the Su- gerlor Court by Judge Joachimsen. His onds were fixed at $2000. DR. PIERCE’S ELECTRIC BELT OURES DISEASE WITHOUT MEDICINE.
