Luxury and want go hand In hand at the City and County Hospital. Within the decayed and reeking halls of the old structure on Potrero avenue the super- | intendent of the institution, G. E. Suss-| dort, lives a 1 of an epicure, while the 400 or more inmates sent under his care are huddled together and deprived of necessaries. The latest outrage complained of among the many perpetrated upon these unfortu: s of public charity is the re- o erection of a magnificent dining room in the upper or southerly end of the main corridor, which completely shuts out whatever light was formerly afforded thy corridor by the windows facing Potrero avenue. BSussdorf's object | in committing this outrage upon the health of both employes and patients was | to provide a means whereby he and his | family could hold aloof from what he is pleased to call “the common horde.” | Although the main dining room was considered good enough for all of Suss- dort's predecessors it was found to be intolerable by both him and his family.

The corporation which controls the des- tiny of the new vaudeviile house has had a row with its director, General de Kan- net, and that gentleman, with a masterly | forethought, has handed in his resigna- tion. There was no dissenting vote, and the retirement of the manager was agreed upon. A difference of opinion as to how a vaudeville house should be run was the cause of the difficulty. While De Kan- net’s management did not meet with the approval of the board, still, all unite in agreeing that the director was doing his best, although his best did not reach the high' standard aimed at by the corpora- pastorate.

De Kannet's bookings, while they showed varlety, lacked what the new house had promisd—novelties—and to this the directors took objection. The matter was placed before the board at the Thurs- day meeting, and De Kannet appeared in his own defense. Business discussion led to an exchange of words, and the result was that Dr. de Kannet asked that his position be declared vacant. Many applications haye been recelved by the corporation for the vacant man- agership, and the candidates for the posi- tion inciude some of the best-known names In the world of variety manage- ment. A few local men are in the race, but it has been decided that the place is to go to an Eastern man.

In order proper apartments for this ad- luxury the internes, who for- installed in the front room the ‘maln entrance to the ¥ averlooking building, have had to sacrifice it to the young woman who waits upon Mrs. Suss- dorf. A dingy and unhealthful den has been provided for the unlucky young doc- tors in the rear of the hospital bullding, where have urgent necessity of us- ing their skill in warding off and prevent- ing the incubation of disease germs. As a consequence of the flagrant out- rages at the hospital more money is need- ed. The Supervisors and the members of the Board of Health are either un- aware or blind to the actions of the su- perintendent, to whom they award appro- oriation after appropriation, without car- ng to investigate whether the money awarded is expended legitimately and for the purposes for which it is asked or used’ by the superintendent in the fur- therance of his own comfort. Although the dining room alluded to and an elaborately erected bathroom (also bullt by sdorf for himself and family) ve been lately erected, more money was asked by b he meeting of the Bupervisors 1z ay afternoon for E'ix[l]\l(fls for patients and wages for em- ploy: Th otion made was introduced by Bupervisor Dodge and encouraged by the superintendent of the hospital. The ex- act quotation following is from a pub- lished report of the matron: Bupervisor Dodge etated that the hospital ap- propriation ehould not be disturbed. He sald that since 1561 revenues of the City and County Hospital had been gradually cut down until now they were 33 1-3 per cent less than they were in 1591 The hospital gave employment to 132 people, over sixty in 1891, and the inmates have been' increasing all the time. ‘‘Yet with oll this additional expense,”” said Dr. Dodge, :'you expect us to run the hospital at a lower figure. The Board of Health put to work the extra clerfcal force, and 1 suppose it has got o be paid.” Dr. Sussdorf supported Dr. Dodge in & plea for a good appropriation for the hospital. Although this additional _appropriation is asked the amount expended already by Bussdorf is far in excess of that made for the entire previous year. The petty fund, whic serves as a source of revenue to the institution from the sale of junk, ete., s entirely exhaust- ed. It has been stated that as soon as this fund would assume any dimensions it would suddenly disappear. Where it went nobody in the instftution seems to know, or in fact has a right to know, since the key to the little coffer whera the money is stored is held by the super- intendent. To exemplify the total laxity of methi in condueting the affairs of the institation one of the internes recently made requi- sition for an apron for use in the operat- ing room, and was told hy Sussdorf that there was no money in the petty fund to defray the expense of furnishing the re. | auired article. From this assertion it would appear that the supplies for the institution were bought from the money in | the petty fund; and that the vearly ap- propriation made for such 1 rxnnndwl in the erection of private din- | ng rooms and bathrooms, salaries for | maids and specially hired’ men to walt upon the superintendent and his family and minions, palatable viands, coachmen, cooks, waiters, ete. Whether Sussdorf will be permitted longer to outrage the trust imposed in him by neglecting the patients sent under his care by depriving them of food and other necesearies will be decided by the Board of Health. the majority of the members of which body have already taken cosmizance of his laxity in con- ducting the institution.

Mark Strouse, proprietor of the Bay City Market and one of the best known butchers in-this State, is conflned to his home, 2412 Pacific ave- nue, suffering from a serious case of la grippe. The attack was sudden, coming on while he was at work in his establishment on Market street Thursday afternoon. A feeling of faintness came over him, but he man- aged to reach his office. His niece, seeing his condition. dispatched mes- sengers for physicians, and within a short time a number were in attend- ance. They all advised his removal to his home, where he is now, recefv- ing the tender ministrations of his wife and daughter. Dr. Prossek, the family physician, and Dr. Miller, who has been spe- clally called In, are hopeful of the recovery of their patient, as he is en- dowed with a splendid constitution. Mr. Strouse’s numerous friends are showing great anxiety over his condition. Many have personally called at the sick man’'s home and place of business for news of his condition, and )‘);ve;een well pleased to learn that hope for his return to health is enter. ned. Mr. Strouse is 52 years old, and personally looks out for his immense Interests. For the past nineteen years he has left .his home promptly at 4 o’clock In the morning, driving to his place of business. There he has set an example to his assistants by dofiing his coat and vigorously cut- ting up the meat to be disposed of during the day. It has been his wont at § o'clock to visit the refrigerators and order meat for the following day. On returning to his establishment he continued cutting meat and trans- acting the affairs of his business until 11 o'clock at night. But for his vig- | rate. It was, however, arranged that an evening session should be held to finish the job. No mention of the place of veniently sfi)axed. and so telephoned to Devany and Haskins, but told them in the same breath that if they wanted to take up the consideration of the tax levy during the afternoon he would come to town and see them. The Fjnance Com- mittee had been instructed to prepare a tax schedule to present to the Super- visors to-day when they sit in committee of the whole. The hours of the afternoon dragged slowly by, and Supervisor Rottanzi, sit- ting on a camp stool by the big guns and enshrouded by drifting fog banks, won- dered why he did not get a Finance Com- mittee message. When It grew dark he | took passage for the city, and visited several places where BSupervisors are | wont to congregate, but failed to see the missing commiteemen. 1t was a clever game of hide and seek. Devany and Haskins had a little financial meeting of their own during the after- noon to fix on certain items of the tax | levy, and they had called in Delany and | Rivers to assist. In the evening they did not care to go over the whole ground with the chairman of the committee, so they left him out. The afternoon meeting was held under | difficulties. The reporters were deter- mined to be present, and the committee- men were equally determined that they should not be. As the meetings of com- mittees are by rule open to the press and citizens, the only way to avoid a public | session was to meet secretly in mmther_ art of the building behind locked doors. "his remarkable proceeding was carried | out. Three department appropriations | were considered, also the question of lhe‘ new Zoo Park. ..e amount of money to be given to each department was fixed and with the full approval of Delany and | Rivers. Delany was determined that the | Zoo Park project should be carried out | at all hazards. He quoted the tax rates of Eastern cides and wound up by de- claring that it would be better to have a $5 per hundred tax rate than a dollar rate. It would give poor men work to do if_the high rate was fixed. | The {mpromptu Finance Committee fin- | ally adjourned the afternoon secret | session_without agreeing on the total| meeting was placarded, nor was any no- tice sent to Chairman Rottanzi. The latter, however, will he before the Supervisors ‘thls mornjng with an _inde- pendent tax schedule, which, the doctor sald last evening, would represent the views of six of the Supervisors. ‘T ex- pect a deadlock over the tax rate,” he remarked. “The two Republicans, Smith and Morton, are understood to be ih favor of a low tax rate although somewhat | above the dollar limit. When it comes to a vote Smith, Morton, Clinton, Dodge, Lackmann and Rottanzi 'will be found on the side of low taxes, and Devany, Has- | kins, Delany, Sheehan, Britt and Rivers for a high rate. What these last named gentiemen will' propose only they know. here has been no meeting of the Fi- nance Committee to fix on a tax rate— | that is, I have attended no meeting for that purpose.” Supervisor Haskins was asked yester- day morning as to why the Finance Com- mittee did not meet according to instruc- tions of the board to prepare a tax sched- ule for Saturday morning. ““We don't know what we will do,” was the vague reply. 'lie Committee on Health and Police of the Board of Supervisors held a meeting Friday morning and decided on the fol- lowing recommendations: That the Hartford Athletic Club be permitted to hold a boxing exhibition at its club rooms, 13 Hartford street, between September 20 and 30, without the payment of license; that $14 be refunded to Sarah N. Norton, said amount ha’\‘lnfi1 been pald to the poundmaster for the release of three cows and one calf.

While crossing the thres- hold of time from ome year to another, the IsTaclite is forcibly reminded of the cre- ation and of the universal sovereignty of the Creator, and is called upon to cele- brate, with blast of trumpet, the anniversary, =0 to speak, of the birth of time and of the coronation of the great King.

It emphasizes the temporal character of man himself and of nll his experience. It is apt to direct one’s attention to the transient natare of worldly ambition; to the in- stability of many founda- tions which men: deem unas- sailable. “Man born of woman is of few days and full of trouble” is the keynote to the contemplations called forth by the season which begins to-night. Time meas- ured by eternity becomes very insignificant. Man ought to know and should oceca- stonally remember that his being means the death of his ancestor and the birth of his grandson. He is but a link in the chain of existence—he must pass away. With such serious thoughts before him it is natural that his spirit should appenl to God, who fashions destiny, and ask for guidance, when unaided he would be as the driftwood that floats helplessly upon the troubled waters.

The picture pre- sented at this season of the judgment of man’s actions by his Maker is speclally in- tended to convince men that always, every day and every hour of the day are they be- ing judsed. That their ac- tions are the impressions of them which their fellow men regard as the individual. The intention of the day is to arouse in man a feeling of respect for the good and true which shall impel him to do only good. We afiirm the principie of the eternity of justice and the certainty of discomfiture to those who design evil against their neighbors. We teach again the law of love and mercy and fend to all who suffer under tyranny a message of encouragement and the as- surance that God will vindi- cate them and right their wrongs through the agency of their fellow men.

MODJESKA AS CAMILLE Each performance seems to increase the popularity of the Modjeska season at the Baldwin. Last night she played “Camille,” the old, old play, to the un- bounded delight of a largg audience. It is only a Modjeska or a Bernhardt or a Duse who can make this piece live to-day. We have seen it given so often at the hands of little and big actresses that it is dangerously familiar. Many of the lines have become slang, catch- phrases of more or less derision. To many of us the glorifying of a con- sumptive courtesan has always seemed a vain task. And yet there is a human note, one pathetic and profound, and a human moral in this old masterpicce that are always ready for the touch of a really great and sincere artist, Modjeska makes no attempt to gloss over the seamy side of Camille’s char- acter. She presents her as she was, a woman of pleasure, brilliant, desperate, and yet at eternal outs with herself and her life. When the grand passion finally comes to her she is ready to sacrifice everything for his sake—her own remnant of honor, which may not matter much, and even his happiness, which is everything. She makes the sacrifice knowingly. She takes a sad pleasure in feeling herself capabl the heroinism. Of course it is all ve: silly and very romantic, but how hu- man! . As Modjeska plays her the woman is not maudiin; she is genuinely pathetic, and the old worldly regret comes up again, “Poor thing; what a pity she went wrong.” In only one phase of “Camille” does Modjeska sacrifice realism to prettiness and poetry, and that is In the death scene—so easily burlesqued into an orgie of microbes and cod liver ofl Modjeska does not insist on the patho- | logical details of it. he makes ‘the | death beautiful and touching. It is one of the most triumphant moments of her art. And after all tuberculosis is not the inevitable accompaniment to bad morals and a broken heart. The company did well, especially Mr. Lonergan in the embarrassing role of | Armand. The notable exception was Mr. Herman as the Count de Varville, whom he invested with all the external | graces of a pugilist. ASHTON STEVENS. —_— Asthma, Bronchitis, Catarrh cure guarant'd.

The following representatives of the rowing clubs were present at a meeting of the regatta committee of the Pacific Association of the Amateur Athletic Un- ion held last night: A. H. Rothkopf of the Dolphins, in the chair: W. C. Bspy and C. Ochs of the Pioneers, S. J. Pem- broke of the Alamedas, J. D. Mahoney of the South Ends and J. R. Bockman of the Ariels. The regatta committee not having been able to secure acceptable terms from the management of El Campo, it was decided to hold the championship regatta at Long Bridge on October 16 or 23. There is a strong probability that a water carnival will be held at Guerne- ville on the Russian River on some Satur- {day and Sunday early in November. J. R. Bockman of the Ariels appointed a committee of one to discuss the ar- rangements for the carnival with the rail- road officials, and to ascertain how the boats to be used by the oarsmen and scullers can be transported. It is pro- osed to erect two toboggan slides side y side, up an incline of about fifty feet, upon which small cars m: run, and to have races between the cars with one and two men on each car. There will be swimming contests, diving and other aquatic sports, as well as races between single scullers and four-oared barge crews. It is expected that the carnival will attract a large number of visitors, and will become an annual event. Tha course is a clear mile in length, and a high bank gives spectators an opportun- ity of watching the races from start to finish. A grandstand will be erected for the accommodation of visitor P R Illegal Fishers Caught. Deputy Fish Commissioners Davis and Lowe have been making things lively for the illegal fishermen up the Sacramento River. They recently confiscated three sets of sturgeon lines, which they de- stroyed, off the Contra Costashores. Near Martinez they captured three fishermen and took their boat. The offenders had been fishing with a small mesh net and had caught a lot of small bass and other fish. ADVERTISEMENTS. PUT THE MONEY IN BANK, = i NI NSRS DR. MEYERS & CO.
