WILL CONSTRUCT THREE " BRIDGES IN POTRERO fanta Fe Comp}Z{Aérees to Provids for Traffic in Changing Grades ” of Streets. Ceptain A. 1. Payson, vice president of the Santa Fe Railway Company, appeared before the Supervisors’ Finance Com- mittce yesterday to urge that his com- pany be granted permission to grade Eigh- teenth street to a line near Minnesota street, adjoining lands owned by the cor- poration. Captain Payson stated that the company desired 4 construct a street bridge on Eighteenth street, from Iowa across Indiana, after cutting down the ige. The company also purposes to build a foot bridge on Ninetcenth street, con- necting Iowa and Tennessee, and a stcel bridge to serve as a wagon road on Twen- tieth street, from lowa to Tennessee. The Board of Public Works favors the plans and the Street Committee will take action next week, when interested parties will be heard on the matter. The committee recommends that grades be established on Pacific avenue, west of Laurel street, and on Sixteenth, Seven- teenth and Eighteenth avenues 'at the crossings of N, L, M and O streets. The commitiee reported in favor of (he ening of Third street. provided the funds are available, and referred the mat- ter to the Finance Committee. Similar action was taken on the petitions of prop- erty-owners for the repairing of Hayes street from Franklin to Laguna, and for the extension of Duncan street. The_proposed ordinance submitted by the Merchants’ Assoclation _requiring srooved girder rails to be used within a certain designated district was laid over for two weeks, when representatives of ; the United Raflroads Company will be | heard on the subject. e s Sk L) Church Entertainment. i An interesting recital under the aus- pices of the Epworth League of the Simp- son Memorial Church will be held in the arlors of the church named, corner of uyes and Buchanan streets, this even- irg.

The procee: of the fair will be added to the im- provement fund of St. Peter’s Church, Twenty-fourth and Alabama streets, The interfor of the Pavilion presented a gala appearance and it needed but a slight stretch of the imagination on the part of the visitors to believe that they were gazing upon real scenes of the Em- erald Isle. ® Liutering the building by the Larkin- street entrance, the eye meets a massive structure representing - the famous St. | Lawrence Gate, through which the vista of gaily decorated booths is seen. Towering almost to the roof of the Pa- villon are solidly bullt castles and towers in which the thirtv-two hooths are locat- | keen rivalry ed. Blarney Castle is there with its famous stone; King John's Castle and Donegal Castle loom up in superb style; Holy Cross Abbey presents its attractive features, while the entire width of the Pavillon is taken up with the reproduc- tion of Glenarm Bridge. On the south side of the buflding are Boyle Abbey, Ross Castle and Galway Castle. Although the fair was formally opened last night, considerable work yet remains to be done and the ladies and, gentlemen in charge of the booths are exerting a to have their exhibits in order with as little delay as possible. Tt is expected that by to-morrow evening everything will be in place. MAYOR OPENS THE FAIR. Tt was after 9 o'clock when Mayor Schmitz arrived at the fair and was escorted by the reception committee to the band stand in the center of the Pa- vilien. The Mayor was given a rousing welcome and was introduced to the visit- ors by Rev. P. (. Yorke. In a brief speech the Mayor paid a tri- so when reduced.

He congratulated all wno had taken part in the organization of the fair and then declared it open, at the same time wishing every success to the undertaking. The various booths that displayed arti- cles for sale gave an indication of what is to be seen when all the booths are stocked with their intended contents. Fancy articles of almost endless variety will delight the eye and tempt coin from | the pockets of visitors, in order to swell the improvement fund of St. Peter's Church. The arrangement of the booths, beginning at the Larkin-street entrance, is as follows On the north side—Cork, All Treland, Water- ford, Meath, Limerick, Monaghan, Kilkenny, Leftrim, Down, Kings, Donegal, _Sligo and Tippera On the south side—Roscommon, Louth, Longford, Dublin, Wicklow, Queens, Kerry, Westmeath, Clare, Derry, Gal- Kildare, Fermanagh, Antrim.

D., of Maynooth College, land, and was sent to this country garefully boxed and designated. Each box is four feet long and two feet wide and four inches deep. A military band was in attendance last evening and rendered a pleasing pro- gramme. The fair will remain open until May 24, exclusive of Sundays.

MAYOR'S CHOIGE 15 DISPLEASING Position of Poundmaster May Be a White Elephant. Humane Society Owns Pound and Will Refuse to Give It Up. San Francisco has a new Poundmaster in the person of Harry O. Irwin, who re- ceived the appointment from Mayor Schmitz yesterday. The Soclety for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals owns what is known as the public pound and has refused to turn it over to the new Poundmaster. Irwin has neither a salary nor a pound, and unless the interested parties come to some sort of an agree- ment, he will have to start out on a hunt for collarless dogs and homeless cows, if he wishes to draw any revenue from his new office. The society officials claim that experience in domestic animal hunt- ing will lead Irwin to conclude that he has not been presented with a gold mine. Since. January the expenses of the pound have been $218 55 in excess of receipts. The difficulty has arisen as a result of the Mayor’s refusal to appoint the nomi- nee of the society, according to the prece- dent set by ex-Mayor Phelan. years ago, it was arranged between the socfety and the Board of Supervisors that { the former should have charge of the pound. the corner of Sixteenth and Alabama streets and erected on it the Animals’ Home. The charitable organization pur- chased horses, wagons, feed, harnesses and all the other necessary parapher- nalia. The city owns absolutely nothing in connection with the pound. Receipts have always been less than expenditures. In recognition of this state of affairs, the society has always had its nominee ap- pointed Poundmaster. When the office became vacant a few days ago through the death of H. W. Walton, the society officials met and sent the name of Matthew McCurrie to Mayor { nominee’ would receive the appointment. They were much . dismayed yesterday when they learned that their expressed wish had been disregarded. President F. Cole said in reference to the matter: ““We have closed the pound and there the thing will rest for the present. how. Mr.. Irwin’ can get along.” Irwin said that he did not know what he should do_if he could not have the pound. The soclety officials have called a meet- ing of the board of directors for to-day and Irwin has been invited to be present. If he can satisfy. the members of the soci- ety that he wiil do exactly as they say and be in every way satisfactory, it is probable that he will be placed in charge of the pound at a salary of $75 a month. In such an event, ke will be allowed no fees and cannot select his deputies. CHARGES BOOKKEEPER WITH EMBEZZLEMENT | Mining Promoter Balliet Secures o Warrant for Miss Alice D. Young's Arrest. Letson Balliet, 58 California street, swore to a complaint before Judgze Ca- banfss yesterday charging Miss Alice D. Young, his former stenographer and bookkeeper, with having embezzled $365 of the funds of the White Swan Mines Company. She left his employment on December 15 last and an examination of the books. he sald, had disclosed the shortage. She had ‘gone East and as he was going there himself, he proposed to make a search for her. Balllet's questionable methods in pro- moting mining and other companies led to an exposure here some time ago through his_trouble with the postal au- | thoritles. He will be tried soon in the United States District Court of Iowa for using the mails for fraudulent purposes, and it is said Miss Young will be a wit- | ness against him. | - Eagles’ Day at the Bakersfield Fair.
