President Calish visited the **Moler Col- | lege” on Clay street and the “San Fran- cisco Barber College” on Howard street | yesterday. He did not wear his official badge, but he [ learned more of the method of turning out barbers at short notice than he ever an- ticipated. He saw the conditions of the places, observed the work, and made notes that will probably cause the man- agers of the two establishments to wish they h; d not gone into the business. “College” is one of a series of located throughout the coun- In one cormer in a pen constructed re netting, resembli; dock, a lot of “subject.

Minnesota View of the Evil. In its last biennial report the Barbers’ tate Board of Examiners of Minnesota in describing the condition of the so-called barber colleges had this to say regarding their condition, and it most aptly fits the local conditions discovered yesterday: The_greatest evil with which the barbers of this State have to contend, and an evil which at one time threatened the complete demoraliz- ation of the trade, is the school. stitutions, which is located in Minneapolis, is a branch of what is called ‘“The Moler Sys- tem of Barber and Hairdressing Colleges Similar branches are located at Chicago, St. Louis, Cincinnati and New York, with head- lthy be- vs, operat- walls, workstands, brushes, towels, in fact everything in and ‘about the place, were so fiithy that the appearance is distasteful, even sickening, to a person who has any notion of cleanliness. Some action will be taken at once to stop the “barber college” evil.

The monthly cntertainment given by the Pacific Coast Association, Native Sons o Vermont, at Odd Fellows’ Hall last nigh was a successful ‘affair. The first part o the programme was devoted to a series of vocal and instremental numbers rendered by clever amateurs. After an overture by an orchestra Miss Marguerite Honn pre- sented some amusing specialties. Charles E. Taylor sang a tenor solo, which was well received, and Miss Maud Day Caine sang several relections. A trio, “Thou f t f | Everywhere,” by Miss Gertrude Kummer, | Miss Letitia Mordhorst, violin obligato, and Miss Francesca Kummer, piano, earned 1 well-merited encore. Mrs. Ruie D.

Over the Rio Grande road alone there have been scheduled more than forty { trains, which will bring neariy 12,000 peo- ple. It is thought that there will be twice as many mcre pass over all other roads combined. Taken with the number of | Californians who will come to San Fran- cisco from the interior for the occasion, the local officials are confident that there will be at least 60,000 strangers in the city | during the convention. News has been received that there is already a lack of Pullman sieepers in the East and considerable difficulty Is being experienced in getting sleeping car ac- | commodations by those who are late in | making their decisions to come West at this time. Cornelius S. Loder of New York has bocked four excursion trains for California for this month, and states that he can easily arrange others if cars are forthcoming. ‘Word has been received that Dr. Co- burn of Trinity Church, Denver, will not be able to speak at the convention, as pre- viously arranged, but his place on the pro- gramme will be filled by President H.

Tt seems to be the opinion of most of the prominent men in the party that the convention should not be of more than two hundred and fifty or three hun- dred delegates, and the apportionment will probably start with this as a basis, in which case it will make little difference Wwhether it be based on the State or gen- | eral election.

The Master-in-Chancery found that 345 | of the bonds, including those claimed by | Smith, were legaily issued and are legal | and valid obligations of the defendant railroad company, but that none of the re- | maining 200 of said bonds were legally is- | snea, and should be surrendered,and can- celed; that the Oakland and San Fran- | | eiseo "Terminal Company is not in the po- | | sition of a holder for value without notice, | 1angd the bonds voted and delivered to it | | by "the defendant railroad company were | iliegally issued. and not valid obligations | xcept In the hands of a_bona-fide. pur- | chaser, and_that_eleven of the 200 bonds * held by, J.

At a conference meeting of the members of the Board of Park Commissioners and the Health Board, held in the Assembly room of the Mills building yesterday, it | was decided to establish a new Park | Emergency Hospital. The Park Commis- | sioners have set apart a lot on Stanyan | street, near Waller, for this purpose, and within a few days work will be begun un- der the supervision of Park Superintend- | ent McLaren. There was present at the meeting Park | Commissioners M. McDonald, John | Stanton and Reuben H. Lloyd and Dr. | Bunnell and Secretary Emery of the Health Board. These gentlemen discussed | at length the advisability of establishing | an Emergency Hospital near the park and all were unanimous in approving of such a plan. ‘The Board of Supervisors has set aside $9000 for such a hospital and it will be built immediately. Efforts will be made to make the hospital a model of its kind and physiciars and nurses will be detailed to be constantly on duty. The many acci- | dents to visitors to_the park makes it ab- solutely necessary for such a hospital. Revenge is the doubtful pleasure of a weak and narrow mind. | man. RAILWAY CLERKS NOW FEEL SAFE Denial of a Report That Departments Are 1@ Be United. No Steps Taken to Consoli- date Southern and Union Pacific. edsle A rumor has heen going the rounds that the accounting departments of_the | and Southern Pacific roads are to be solidated and that headquarters Is to éstablished in Omaha. The report is doubt due to the call East of several the accounting department officials, cluding C. J. Wilder and E. E. Hoito who went to Omaha to confer with E. Rastus Young, chief accountant of the Union Pacific. Those who are in a posi- tion to know say that the conference was simply called for the Harriman roads to agree upon and adopt a uniform system of keeping books and making out reports. President Hays is rot as ready to talk with members of the press as he was when he first arrived in San Francisco. Secretary Ingram, his majordomo, now talks for him. Secretary Ingram, on be- ing asked yesterday if there was any truth in the rumor that the acgounting departments were to be consolidated, said that there was absolutely nothing in the report. “The Southern Pacific and the Union Pacific are distinct roads,” said he, “and I am sure that there are no steps being taken to consolidate them.” President Hays has made no announce- ment of any changes, but they will not come unexpected, however. Fitzhugh, who, it is sald, is selected to fill an impor- tant position with the Southern Pacific road, is still examining tite different divi- sions. He holds the proud distinction of being the only operating official outside of Hays who is allowed to hitch his private car on to a “limited” train. Now that J. C. Stubbs has no of in- one East as chief traffic manager for Harriman all sorts of rumors are afloat. A number of rominent railroad officials claim _that ays has lost considerable power and that Stubbs will take precedence over him both in rank and salary. “I am sure that the Union Pacific and Southern Pacific freight and ticket offices in this city will be consolidated within a vear.” sald a railroad official yesterday. It is said that Colonel D. W, Hitcheoek is safe in_his position, as he is a_great friend of J. C. Stubbs, and although well on in years he is still a_capable railroad Thomas Schumacher, the freight agent of the Union Pacific, also enjoys an enviable record. Should the consolidation be made he will no doubt assist Willlam Sproule, who is the chief freight official of the Southern Pacific in this eity. Sproule is at present in the East. On his return to this city he will move into the | offices that were formerly occupied by Stubbs. Mrs. Craven Wants a Transfer. Though Judge Troutt denled Mrs. Crav- en’s petition for a transfer of the petition of Theresa A. Oelrichs, Virginia Vander- bilt and Charles L. Fair for distributioa to them of the personal property of the estate of the late James G. Fair, another petition for a transfer of the case under the new code amendment was filed yes- terday by Mrs. Craven. Under the new law it is only necessary for bias and prejudice upon the part of the court to be alleged in a petition for a transfer to in- sure the granting of tue same. These al- legations Mrs. Craven makes. But as the hearing of the petition for distribution has already commenced before Judge Troutt it is ‘doubtful if Mrs. Craven's efforts to secure a transfer under the new law will avail her. —————— KICKED BY A HORSE.—Cornelfus Collins, a teamster working for the City Improvement Company at Hunter’s dry dock, while harness- ing his team yesterday morning, was kicked on the head by one of the horses.
