It was finally passed, after many proposed amendments had been defeated, Supervisor Deasy gave Notice that he would move for a recon- sideration at the next meeting. Some discussion ensued over the recon- sideration of the proposition of the Mu- tual Electric Light Company to light the City Hall for 6 cents per 1000 watt hours. Bupervisor Aigeltinger moved it lie over for one week, as the committee was con- ferring with the Merchants' Assoclation on the lighting question. This reason seemed to anger Supervisor Perrault, who apparently thought the ex- cuse a trivial one. *‘I don’t think a mem- ber should treat the remainder of this board like “dunghills,” he sald. “The Merchants’ Assoclation looks to me like a great big faki erything is referred to it these days. The matter went over one week, The resolution adopted by the Street Committee at its meeting last week re- garding an election for bonds for the ex- tension of Golden Gate Park was read. The Federation of Mission Improvement Clubs requested that action be deferred one week. It is purposed by its officers to appear before the committee at its next meeting to ask that this matter be | reconsidered. They want an election at the same time for a sewer, schoolhouse and other bonds. At the request of Su- ervisor Attridge actlon was deferred. (he committee will take up consideration | of the matter at 4 p. m. Thursday. The appropriation allowing $1000 for fm- provements was passed to gnnt. As the city cannot get rid of the Chinese lepers as expected, Supervisor Holland gave no- tice he would ask for an increased ap- propriation to build the necessary accom- modations. | “George Dougherty was appointed pa- | trol wagon driver, vice M. Cavanaugh, re- | moved. Ned Elmore was appointed plum- ber's helper, vice Hugh A. Ward, re- moved. upervisor Perrault explained that it was a case of two Democrats be- ing replaced by two Republicans. This when the question was asked as to why the change was made. The following resolution was adopted: Resolved, That in order that the commis- slon, whose duty it is to count the cash in the ‘city treasury, may be able to verify the general cash balance, embracing all the moneys in possession of the Treasurer, instead of as now examining some twenty- two different balances shown by moneys separately kept In the trays or boxes as “special deposits,” the Treasurer be and s hereby authorised to enter upon his books every day in the general cash ac- count the amounts recefved by him from all sources, whether the same are moneys | Dbelonging o the city and county or not, and aleo to show each day the actual amount, aforesaid, of moneys in the city treasury, he general cash account, as requested by Honor the Mayor. City and County Attorney Lane was re- | quested for his opinion on the following | matters: 3 | . First, It goods, wares and merchandise i bonded warehouses at 12 o’clock noon on the first Monday in March of each year can | be legally taxed for State or oity and county taxes? Second. If conslgned goods, wares and | merchandise in original packages at 12 o'clock noon on the first Monday in March of each year can be legally taxed for State or city and county taxes? Third. If goods imported from a forelgn country while in original packages, upon which the dutfes and charges at the Cus- tom-house have been pald and in the hands of the importer at 13 o'clock noon on the first Monday of March, can be legally taxed for State or city and county taxes? The City Engineer was requested to ex- amine and report to the board the ex- pense of the establishment of grades on | 81l streets south of Golden Gate Park, | His Honor the Mayor wa8 empowered | | and required to purcuase for $12.00 a plecy ot property belonging to the estate o Willlam B. Carr. It is intended for the purpose of extending Twenty-fifth street | from San Jose avenue to Guerrero. It is expected to effect a saving to the city | to take this action, rather than to begin procecdings to condeé¥an the property. His Hongr the Mayor vetoed the per- mit granted a storekeeper on Washington street, near Montgomery, to erect a win- dow extending some inches on the side- walk. He held it Interfered withi the rights of adJnlan shopkeepers, and that if granted one shopkeeper all were en- titled to it.

A varfously signed petition was pre- sented by property owners in the vielnity | of Duncan street, San Jose avenue and Valencla street, nsk!ng the board to open Duncan street rrvfm San Jose avenue to Yalencia street. It was pointed out that there are no cross streets cut through here for five blocks.

ATTEMPT TO ORGANIZE RIVAL NEWSBOYS’ UNION | LIVELY MEETING OF THE OP- POSING FACTIONS. Artle Jelinski Unsuccessfully Dis- putes the Leadership Conferred Upon Robert Wall by His Election as President. Over a hundred unkempt and uncontrol- lable newshoys assembled in the quarters of the recently organized Newsboys' Home at 549 Howard street last evening in response to a call {ssued for a meet- ing to organize a newsboys’ union. There was trouble at the start, caused by the | efforts of rival factions, headed respec- tively by Robert Wall and Artie C. Je- linski, to run things, and several times a riot was only averted by the presence of Policemen McCormick and McNamara, | detailed to preserve order by the fore- glght of Joe Bimpson, the youthful man- ager of the home. The trouble arose indirectly through the rivalry of two evening papers. About two weeks ago a newsboys' union was formed and Robert Wall elected presi- dent, defeating Artle Jelinski. The move- | ment was engineered by one of the even- ing publications, and Jelinski, who is em- ployed by the opposition sheet, refused to abide by the result. He consulted Simp- gon and the latter became convinced that Jelinski would make a better president than Wall. As a result last night's meet- ing was called, the purpose being to or- anize a fresh union with Jelinski at the ead, ignoring Wall's organization .en- tirely. But the latter did not propose to be sidetracked, and when Simpson at- tempted to call the meeting to order Wall digputed his right to do so, claiming that privilege for himself, as the duly elected president of the Newnho“s, Union. The crowd yelled for Wall, but Simp- son, with the afd of the police, finally in- | duced Wall to waive his claim. Wall’'s friends controlled the meeting, | and as it was evident after two_ hours of wrangling that nothing could be ac- complished, Chalrman Simpson an- nounced that another meeting would be held at the same place to-morrow night and he hoped only those would come who desired to join union No. 2, with Jellnskl as president. Pefore the meeting adjourned Mrs. Dr. Morse, editor of the Coming Light, spoke of her plan to inaugurate a movement for a sick geneflt fund for the newsboys. She sald she would devote one issue of her paper for the good of the movement and | glve the boys one-half of the receipts. As the boys filed out of the place a cob- | blestone came hurling through the win- | dow, smashing the glass and narrowly | missing the heads of two lads. An at- | tempt will be made to exclude Wall ana his cohorts from the meel(ng to-morrow, g0 that the organization of the new union may be perfected without interference on | thelr part. —e——————— After Ah Yow’s Assailant. The police of the Chinatown squad are between Forester | in hopes of locating the man who mur- | April 10, 18%. the | derously assaulted Ah Yow in Ross al- ley Salurdn?r night. He is known as a desperate highbinder, and while the po- lice are positive that he has not yet left the city his exact whereabouts is not known. The union of which Ah Yow is a member promises to prosecute the case. —————————— RURAL FREE DELIVERY. Special Agent Houpt Will Extend It in California. Speclal Agent Thomas H. Houpt of the Postoffice Department arrived here yes- terday from Washington, D. C., and is a guest at the California. Mr. Haupt is one of ten speclal agents who are en- gaged in establishing rural free delivery of mail throughout the United States, and his territory embraces the Pacific States. In discussing the question last night, Mr. Haupt said: “Through the earnest efforts of First Assistant Postmaster General Heath, who is an enthusiast on the subject, rural free delivery, which was an experiment four years ago, iS now an assured success. The first appropriation for the purpose in 1896 was $10,000. 1t was increased to $30,000 in !‘2)1.3‘;. $150,000 in 1898 and this year it is “There have been thirty-three routes established In the section under my con- trol, and 1 have come here to extend the system. Santa Rosa has three services, taking in thirty square miles of house to house delivery; Napa, one service of elght square miles, and Petaluma, one of the same area. An experimental star route free delivery is also. in operation from Redwood City to Pescadero. Santa Clara County has eleven routes and 1 will es- tablish another one out of San Jose. Santa Barbara also has one and I will visit Gilroy, Red Bluff and Pomona to consider applications that have been made by those towns for the service. The routes out of Berryessa, Pinto, West Side, Campbells and Los Gatos are entirely suc- cessful. “The system has given general satis- faction wherever inaugurated. Subscrip. ers to metropolitan newspapers get their papers by mall several hours ahead of the time they did when they were sent by express, and this has resulted In in- creased subscriptions. The mall carrier is generally a local man who knows the country and is provided with a map of the district. The patrons are required to lace a box alongside of the fence for he reception of letters and in the event of their gnv!ng mail matter to send away they display a small flag for the benefit of the carrier. The latter is placed under bonds of $i0 for the faithful performance of his duty.” e Assaulted With a Knife. Andrew Chinguro, a scavenger, Ilving at 1314 Stockton street, rushed into the | California-street police station last night with blood pouring from two ugly gashes in his face. He sald he went to call upon a friend, and that the friend attempted to rob him. In the mix-up a knife was drawn and Chinguro was stabbed twice in the face. He was sent to the Harbor Hospital, _where his injuries were dressed. They are not of & serfous na- ture. /> An Excellent Combination. The pleasant method and beneficial »ffects of the well known remedy, wvr oF Fras, monufactured by the CUauironsiA Fie Syrup Co., illustrate he value of obtaining the liquid laxa- tive principles of plants known to be medicinally laxative and presenting them in the form most refresi:ing tothe taste and acceptable to the system. It is the one perfect strengthening laxa- tive, cleansing the system effectually, dispelling colds, headaches and fevers gently yet promptly and enabling one to overcome habitual constipation per- manently. Its perfect freedom from every objectionable quality and sub- stance, and its acting on the kidneys, liver and bowels, without weakening or irritating them, make it the ideal laxative. In the process of manufacturing figs are used, as they are pleasant to the taste, but the medicinal qualities of the remedy are obtained from senna and | other aromatic plants, by a method | known to the CALIFORNIA Fie Syrue Co. only.
