SAILORS' HOME LOST T0 BOARD OF SUPERVISORS Place to Be Vested in Board of Trustees. WILL BE OUT OF POLITICS e FEDERAL AND CITY AUTHORI- TIES WILL CONTROL. —_—— The Sallors’ Home is to be taken out of politics. That is, the renting of the bullding is to be taken out of the hands of the Supervisors and vested in a com- posite board consisting of the Mayor, City and County Attorney, the Collector of Customs, the United States District Judge {and the United States District Attorney. For a long time the Ladies’ Seamen's | Ald Soclety has had control of the prem- ises at a nominal rental of a dollar a year. In turn the ladles sublet the privi- lege to a superintendent, who runs the place for them and makes a monthly re- turn of moneys received and expended. Many an effort has been made to get the building away from the Ladies’ Seamen's Ald Society, but the late Captain Charles Goodall was ever the champion of the women, and through his efforts the Super- | visors ‘were “always competed to renew. the lease of the bullding to the society. Captain Goodall and his partner, Sen- ator George C. Perkins, had many a dis- cussion over the Sallors’ Home. Both men wanted to see the institution a real benefit to the salilor, and they both knew that there was no ¢ permanent reforms so long as there was a chance of some ward politician getting hold of the place through the’ Board of Supervisors. ~ A bill was framed, there- fore, taking the control of the bufldin, from the Board of Supervisors un§ vesting it in the gentlemen named above. It has been introduced in the Senate by Senator Perkins, and will undoubtedly be- me law, as ® has the backing 0? the lifornia delegation. The Sailors’ Home building was former- ly the United States Marine Hospital. When the place was abandoned as not suitable for the purposes and the hospital was removed to the Presidio, Uncle Sam resented the bullding and grounds to the ity and county of San Francisco to be used as a Sallors’ Home. Soon after the ance of instituting | building came under control of the Super- visors it was let to the Ladles’ Seamen's Ald Soclety, and that body has had con- trol of it ever since. There were some scandals in connection with the place, | particularly when one Swannack was su- erintendent, but since Captain Melvin taples has been in charge there have been no complaints, The placing of the home under the jolnt control of the city and Federal authorities will do away with wire-pulling and will enable the Ladies' Seamen's Aid Society to make many |m}>rnvements which: the uncertain tenure of their lease prevented them from doing. COASTERS MAKE PORT. John S. Kimball’'s Son Home. San Pedro Chartered for Nome Trade. The northeast wind brought in quite a fleet of coasters yesterday. Six of them got in during the morning, while at sunset the barks Prussia and Kate Devenport and the schooners James A. Garfield, Ben- der Brothers, Gem, Archie and Fontie, John F. Miller and Compeer were all passing In. Many more vessels are due, | and there is no doubt but what every man on the fleet is trying to reach port before Christmas. Nick Houston, a marine fireman, made an attempt to end his life yesterday. Every time Nick gets drunk he jumps overboard, and yesterday he took the leap from Main street wharf. Nick took too many ‘“Tom and Jerrg!" during the morn- ing and missed his ship. When he found the steamer gone he pulled off his coat and jumped overboard. He was rescu by Wharfinger McGovern and Collector Sullivan, who_locked him up_ until his friends called for him and took him home. Spear street wharf is crowded with Ore- on freight, and in consequence the George Eider on her arrival from Purltlnnd will have to dock at the sea- wall. 3 John 8. Kimball of the well-known ship . ?lng house of Kimball & Co. will arrive rom Seattle to-night, accompanied by his wife and son. Charles E. Kimball went to Nome in_ connection with the firm's business, and was taken ill with typhotd fever while on his way home on_ the Sound and Mr. Kimball was landed at Seattle. His father and mother imme- diately went to his bedside and have been with him ever since. Father, mother and son will now be home in time for the fam- ily reunion on Christmas day. The steamer San Pedro has been char- tered from J. R. Hanify & Co. by Los Angeles parties, and will run between Sun Diego, San Francisco and Cape Nome in the spring. About $10,000 will be expended in turning the vessel into a passenger steamer, with accommodations for 250 | people. The San Pedro is a new vessel and one of the smartest steam schooners on the coast A SAILOR ROBBED. Henry Lansen of the Ship Bohemia Has an Unpleasant Experience. Henry Lansen of the ship Bohemia, who Uves in East Berkeley, was robbed of a purse contalning $140 in gold and some papers late Thursday 'night, and the police are trying to find the robber. Lansen was found at Second and Town- send streets shortly before midnight by Special Officer Cunningham. He was con- siderably under the influence of liquor and there was a contused wound over his right eye. Cunningham turned him over to Policeman T. B. Gibbons. He told the officers that he had been robbed of the purse, but by whom he did not know. Gibbons sent Lansen to the Recelving Hospital, where his wound was dressed, and he was booked at the City Prison on a charge of “drunk.” When searched 3240 was found in kis pockets. Gibbons learned that Lansen had been drinking in G. Nicholas’ saloon, 268 Bran- nan street, and had been beaten and thrown out. He went to the saloon and Nicholas admitted that Lansen had been drinking there with some other sallors, but he denfed that he had been beaten and thrown out, and there the matter rests at present. DEADLY GAS AGAIN. Mrs. C. J. Smith Falls a Victim to the Silent Destroyer. Mrs. C. J. Smith, a domestic servant employed In the family of B. F. Hawes, at 321 Lyon street, was found lying dead on the floor of her room yesterday morn- ing. that death was the result of an accident. The woman was fully dressed except that her shoes were off. She had arisen from her bed and attempted to reach the door, but fell unconscious to the, floor. One of the stopcocks of the gas fixture was partly turned on. lain on the bed to read before retiring on the evening previous, and that she turned down the gas to take a nap. Air in the pipe extinguished the low flame and the gas filled the room and killed the woman. Mrs. Smith had gone to the Hawes fam- ily only the day before, and they were very well pleased with her. She seemed to be in good spirits. She was a trained nurse, but being unable to secure employ- ment she sought to do housework. Her husband is a printer, at present absent from the city. Mrs. Smith was 29 years old and a native of California. An inquest will be held. —_———— Calendars for 1800. “California Violets,” “Californla Wiid Flowers” and “Golden Popples” are the most popular calendars for 1900; price, 50 cents each.

Blackman, secretary of a Los Angeles lighting company, was convieted of felony for getting away with about $11,000. He appealed to the Supreme Court, one of the grounds being that after the court had instructed the jury and while the District Attorney was addressing that body the Judge left the bench and court- room and was absent for about ten min- utes. The Supreme Court holds that without the immedlate presence of the Judge there can be no court, and that a defendant vconvicted without the Judge being Presenl all of the time has just cause for complaint and good grounds for a_ reversal of judgment of conviction. The case was sent back for a new trial. —_———— Christmas Dinner. “Christmas comes but once a year.” Cele- brate it this year at Zinkand's. A speclally fine dinner every holiday. . —_———— Misplaced Confidence. Willlam Brown, a discharged soldier from the First Infantry, who arrived from Manila recently, complained to Cap- tain Spillane yesterday that his purse containing $177 68 and his discharge papers ad been stolen from him. He said he left the wharf Thursday morning and walked along Folsom street. He went into a saloon and asked a young man to hold his overcoat for a few minutes for him. In the overcoat pocket was the urse. When he returned the young man ad gone and 80 had his purse. Bolicor man Moriarity Was sent with him, but he ‘was unable to point out the saloon. —_———— A. D. T.

When this bizarre effect had been achieved to the taste of the venerable chief, he waved his hand and the “Sassa- fras” band struck up the rather sugges- time tune, “When You Aint Got No Money, Well, You Needn't Come Round." Then Aid Birdsall compelled his steed to do a Mobile buck and, saluting when he came within the sphere of guberna- torial Influence, informed the Executive and the three Commissioners that the time had come for them to make thelr play. The carriage with the Inspecting party moved down the line and the band struck up “Gates Ajar,” which was soon merged into & medley composed of ‘‘Heart Bowed Down With Weight of Woe,” which seem- ed to have such a depressing effect on the “coppers” that in very charity the musi- clans were forced to cheer them up a bit with the prospect of future happiness that “Then You'll Remember Me" conjured up before their eyes, as the men having their destinles in hand passed before them. The carriages drove rapidly around the line three times. Then the men counted off and it was found that either Chief Lees or Sergeant Conboy was it. They drew straws and the Chief won out. This was as it should be. All were satisfled ex- cept Tom Walsh, but as he was not seen in the parade he did not count. The Com- missioners sald It was a splendid success; the Chief said he had never witnessed anything finer; Spillane rode from the be- ginning to the end and never showed more than five inches of sock at one time. Al- together there was nothing to criticize and the reviewing party bowed adieu and departed amid the clashing of cymbals, while all the stalwart guardians of the city’s dignity cockbilled their yards and watched them leave. There was a rumor around the street yesterday that the Governor had seen to uncover In response to a salute. It could not be confirmed. AMUSEMENTS.
