The | subject was “The Literary Shrines of | England” and the applause which fol- lowed the presentation on the screen of the homes of Great Britain's suthors showed the intimate acquaintance of the audience with the immortal works of the literary lights of the past.

The presen- | tation of Westminster Abbey, with the graves of illustrious men of letters, and the humbls cot wherein the beloved ‘‘Bob- by"” Burns was born and reared and a pic- ture of the poet’s tomb, all appealed to the sympathies of the andience. Mr. Hudson was awarded a hearty vote of thanks for his interesting and instruc- tive lecture.

A novelty was Introduced into the water rate inquiry by the Board of Supervisors last night when a private citizen was per- mitted to put a series of questions to the officials of the Spring Valley Water Com- pany, which are calculated to lay bare the secrets of the corporation if they are | answered. The board had previously | adopted a resolution allowing former Bu- | pervisor Charles Wesley Reed to solicit | information bearing on the fixing of wa- iter rates. Copies of the questions were furnished to Chief Engineer Schussler and Bookkeeper George Booker. The maln questions put to the officlals fol- low: is it that the water supply in Crystal s rescrvoir has steadily diminished since rflow of the dam? How much water has been furnished from | that source to the city since then? | “How much water was caught in Crystal | Springs dam duric season ot 1901-02, | and how much o t by evaporation? 1s it not true that the evaporation trom the Cryetal Spri reservoir, plus the amount of water which must bo furnished to the owners of 1ights on San Mateo Creek, is greater tham bt unt of water caught in Crystal Springs during the last five years? | If the reservolr has vielded practically no new water during the last five vears, ought not ds and water rights to be counted as loss, upon which no intereat should be cilowed by the Supervisors? i | DIFFERENCE IN RATES.

Braunhart objected to a charge in the operating expenses for interest on money borrowed on Lake Merced lands, claim- ing that interest should not be classed as operating expenses, because the company is already recelving interest from the water rates on its investment in the land. Howard called attention to an error in the item of $79,892 14 expended for perma- nent improvements in the Suburban Wa- ter Comp hould have been only ment Jfiled &l that the corrected amount chArged the item of Improvements for the em should be $678,478 2%, instead 94 16, as at first reported. COST STEADILY INCREASES. A statement prepared by Chief Engineer Schussler showed that the cost of fur- nishing water, according to his figures, had steadily increased and the average price received has decreased during the last five ye Schussler says in his statement: The growth in population if continued will require in the near future expenditures of money and @ corresponding and assured reve nue to meet the increasing cost of interest, o erating expensea and taxes. Without such rev- enue the {mprovements now under way and h are necessary to meet the increasing re- ater cannot be made. nes, secretary of the com- pany, replying to & question as to why the dividend for November had been passed, sald the company had not earned it. He produced the following statement showing the receipts for the year 1902-3 for the sales of water: ' From water rates, July 1 to December 31, 190 S0 €9; (estimated), January 1 to June 30, $057,000; total, $1,951,808 6 From rents, July 1 to December 31, 1902, § 012 50; (estimated), January 1 to June 30, 1903, $20.000; total, $47,012 50; total receipts, $1, 898,906 19. FORESEES A DEFICIT. The statement shows that the disburse- ments for the same year—those for the | second half of the fiscal year being esti- mated—aggregate 32,117,289 46. This would entail a deficit which would necessitate the omission of one and possibly two more dividends, Ames said. He was un- able to throw any light on the promise made by Engineer Schussler that he would try to reduce the operating ex- penses to $430,000, as suggested by Mayor Schmitz. Based on the e ing rates, Ames flgured a deficit of $34,094 during 1902 Attorney Kellogg stated that it is estimated that $1,000,000 will be spent on permanent improvements and that ${3,000 had been estimated for in- creased business in 1903, Braunhart objected to an item of $5000 for a telephone system being entirely charged to operating expenses, claiming that some of the expense should be charged to permanent improvements. “I am trying to find that omitted divi- sald Braunhart, “and I belleve I THE RIGHT THING. A New Catarrh Cure, Which Is Rap- idly Coming to the Front. For several years Red Gum, Blood Root and Hydrastin have been recognized as andard remedies for catarrhal troubles, but they have always been given sepa- rately and only very recently an in- genious chemist succeeded in combining them, together Wwith other antiseptics, into a pleasant, effective tablet. Druggists sell the remedy under the neme of Stuart’'s Catarrh Tablets and it has met with remarkable success in the cure of mnasal catarrh, bronchial and throat catarrh and in catarrh of the stomach. Mr. F. N. Benton, whose address is care of Clark House, Troy, N. Y., says: “YWhen I run up against anything that is good I ltke to tell people of it. I have been troubled with catarrh more or less tor some time. Last winter more than ever. Tried several so-called cures, but 3id not get any benefit from them. About six weeks ago I bought a 5-cent box of Stuart's Catarrh Tablets and I am glad to say that they have done wonders for me and I do not hesitate to let all my friends know that Stuart's Catarrh Tab- lets are the right thing.” Mr. George J. Casanova of Hotel Grit- fon, West Ninth street, New York City, writes: 1 have commenced using Stuart's Catarrh Tablets and aiready they have given me better re,fults than any catarrh cure I have ever tried.” A leading physician of Pittsburg advises the use of Stuart’s Catarrh Tablets in praference to any other treatment for Catarrh of head and throat or stomach. He claims they are far superior to in- halers, salves, lotions or powder and are take and are so harmless that little chil- dren take them with benefit, as they con- tain no opiate, cocaine or any poisonous drug. et ? Would the Spring Valley Company object to | much more convenient and pleasant to | | 1 | | | | Confide 1n o Woman Women may write about their ills to Mrs. Pinkham, and avoid the == questioning of a’male physician. They can tell their story without reservation to her ; she never breaks a confidence, and her advice is the best in the world. The questions asked of a woman by a male physician are embarrassing, and often revolting to a sensitive nature. In consequence the whole truth is not told ; this makes it difficult for female troubles to be successfuily treated even by the best physicians, and is the reason so many women grow worse rather than better. ' A womad understands a woman better than a man, — there are symptoms which sick women have that a man cannot understand, simply because he is a man, but the whole truth may be told to Mrs. Pinkham, and her vast experience enables her to give advice which leads to a cure. All women who suffer should secure Mrs. Pinkham’s advice; it costs nothing but a letter addressed to her at Lynn, Mass, Female troubles are real troubles, and must be treated understandingly. For a quarter of a century Mrs. Pinkham’s advice and Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound have been helping women to get strong and well, and her great file of letters preve that more than a million women have been restored to health and strength by her advice and her medicine when all other means have failed. When you go to a druggist for Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound, do not let him persuade you to try something which he says is just as good; there is nothing just as good, because Mrs. Pinkham’s medicine holds the record — for the largest number of cures of any female medici ne in the world. have found it in the operating expenses.” | Howard said that he did not think the | amount of material on hand that has| been charged up to operating expenses | could be determined, but it was very | small compared with that charged to per- manent improvements. Assistant Engineer Forbes said opera(-l ing expenses had increased owing to high-| er prices for labor and material. The company had recently raised the wages ot laborers owing to the higher cost of living, Forbes said. Howard said Schussler’s salary prior to | 1900 was $15,000, and had been increased | to $25,000. 1In 1891 Schussler was engaged | on the Alameda Creek system, and| Braunhart wanted to know If the in-| crease was not the result of Schussler's additional labor on the system, but How- ard sald he could not answer the ques- tion. Forbes sald the present capacity of the | Spring Valley Water Works was 3,000,000 | gallons a day. When the complets sys-| tein is in operation the capacity would be 78,000,000 galions daily. Resolutions were adopted requesting the | Spring Valley Water Works to furnish a | statement of the names of all its cor-| porate officers and the amount of the| capital stock subscribed upon the books of the company by cach of such officers upon the first day of January, 1903, and a statement in detail of the items upon | which the estimate of $475,000 for, operat- | ing expenses for 1%3 is based. The Board of Works was requested to furnish & plan of meter rates that will lower the rate of the small consumer and ’ raise the meter rate of the larger con- sumer to a more equitable rate. | Assessor Dodge was requested to be | present at the next meeting to enlighten | the board on an alleged discrepancy be-| tween the assessed valuations of the| company’s properties and the valuations | ¢ sworn to before the board. The board adjourned to meet next Wednesday night, when the question of | the installation of additional hydrants in | accordance with a former promise of the company will be discussed. e board will meet next Friday night to begin the inquiry for the fixing of rates for gas and electricity.
