The Board of Health adopted yesterday the draft of a proposed ordinance to pro- vide for the licensing and inspection of aternity hospitals, lying-in asylums and ymes for children, which is to be for- warded to the Board of Supervisors for passage. The board recommended that Dupont street, from California to Sacramento and | trom Pacific to Broadway, be paved with | Dbitumen. | Health Officer O'Brien‘s appointment of | H. R. Murphy as assistant plumbing in- | spector was disapproved because ' the | Civil Service Commission had certified ! but one name for the position.

Ledwith, chief cook at the City | and County Hospital, was dismissed for fighting with the baker at the institution.

SEETELS et Several prominent merchants of this city met a few days ago and entered into a discussion as to the best means to be used to enlarge their business interests. A number of ways was suggested—dif- terent kinds of advertising in ecity and country papers, the issue of a vast num- ber of circulars, a strenuous mall corre- spondence, increasing the number of out- side salesmen or solicitors, reduction in prices, ete. Many unique ideas were advanced, but the final conclusion was that the main requisite on thelr part was an increased capacity for work, and to obtain this they unanimously agreed to spend two weeks at Camp Vacation, confident that the open-air life there would make them feel like young colts. This resort is a hotel under canvas on the Russian River, near Guerneville. The trains of the California Northwestern Railway run direct to the grounds. —_——— Hospitality Does Not Suffice.

The attendance was large, only a few members being absent. From the -dif- ferent reports brought in by the various subcommittees everything tends to point to a big celebration. All the civie, fraternal and labor or- ganizations having uniforms have been invited to participate, and already many of them have requested the secretary to assign them places in the line of march. The committee on music stated that only union bands would be employed, excepting, of course, the bands of the different military organizations. The literary exercises wfll take place at 2 o'clock on the afternoon of the Fourth, probably in the Alhambra The- ater, which has been kindly placed at Superin- has sent word that he will he able to furnish all the flowers necessary for dec- orative purposes.

The other theaters have not been heard from yet, but they un- doubtedly will be well represented.

There is more trouble in the State Min- ing Bureau than that arising from the apportionment of the money appropriated by the State Legislature for a display of California’s resources at the St. Louis Exposition. There is an inside story to the effect that W. C. Ralston, president of the L board of trustees, was treated to the sur- prise of his life when he was told by State Mineralogist Aubury that certain removals of employes suggested by the president could not be made. The Min- eralogist, who was selected by former Governor Gage to succeed A. S. Cooper, intimated in plain style that Ralston could not run the board. The fact is not generally known that Aubury is a nephew of Lawyer Tweed of New York, who was closely associated with C. P. Huntington in the management of the Southern Pa- cific, and that he was appointed State Mineralogist at the solicitation of the company's law department. It appears that Ralston entertained the idea that all that would be necesary in order to intro- duce a new set of attaches would be to hand in the names of the slated and leave the rest to the State Mineralogist, but to his utter astonishment he ascertained that the plan was in no wise acceptable. There Is a pretty well authenticated story to the effect that disappointment in the matter of patronage is the real cause of Ralston’s resignation. Representative miners cannot understand why the Gov- ernor hesitates to accept the resignation. A well-known miner, in discussing the subject yesterday, remarked: Here Is a splendid opportunity for Governor Pardee to reorganize the board of trustees and undo_the work that was done for volitics by the Gage administration. The miners never wanted Ralston on the board and do not want him now. They want the bureau men who are actually identified with the min- ing Interests of the State, and the Governor has now the opportunity of his life to reor- ganize the board and do something to promote the cause of the miners. Men who are prom- inent in the mining Industry courteously de- clined to serve on the board at the request of ihe Gage administration, because they sus- pected that they would be called upon to use the bureau in raw politics. Men of wide ex- perience and ized ability as miners would not hesitate to give their services to the State under the present administration. I cannot understand why the Governor holds up these resiznations. s e Street-Sweeper Knocked Down. Thomas Burns, a municipal street- sweeper, residing at 211 Minna street, was knocked down by a reckless teamster at the crossing of Powell and Market streets yesterday forenoon. Burns received se- vere injuries of both arms and right side. He was treated at the Emergency Hos- pital by Dr. James D. Murphy, after which he left for his home. A descrip- tion of the teamster was furnished to the police, as he made good his escape before his identity became known. —_—————— A count of the unoccupied houses in London show 40,00.

The news that the Mexican Govern- ment had deposited the sum of $1,420,652 with United States Embassador Clayton in Mexico on account of the plous fund award rendered In favor of Arch- bishop Riordan was welcomely received yesterday by all Catholics of the West. His Grace Archbishop Riordan, who will have the distribution of this sum under his control, has not yet definitely settled how the money will be apportioned. It is not even yet decided whether he will have to expend the money in the same direc- tion as it was being spent years ago when the Mexican Government stopped pay- ment of the fund. It is generally known, however, that after the attorneys’ claims are settled the money will be distributed among the archdioceses of San Francisco and Port- land, Or., and the dioceses of Los Ange- les, Sacramento and Utah. The Francis- cian order and the Jesuits will also re- ceive an appropriation. It was originally ordered that the money devoted to the plous fund was to be used for the propa- gation of Catholicism in the western con- tinent and it is more than probable that Archbishop Riordan will follow out this policy as much possible when he re- celves the money. It will be forwarded from Mexico to Washington and will later be transfered from there to Arch- bishop Riordan as titular claimant. S — Death of Yrominent Church Worker. NEW YORK, June 17.—Louls J.

LAYTONVILLE, June 18.—Meager de- tails reached here to-night of the disap- pearance and probable drowning of a man named Fremont of San Francisco, a mem= ber of a camping party on Eel River. The party separated at daylight to fish and hunt in different directions, agreeing upon a meéting at 1 o'clock. Fremont is still missing. His hat was found in one of the small tributaries of the river. Beacon lights are burning and searching parties are scouring the canyons which the river traverses. Members of the party have offered $100 reward for the re- covery of Fremont. This has served as a stimulus for outsiders to aild in the search. Late to-night the canyons and foothills are bright with bonfires and signals ai being exchanged by rifle shots. ——e.— Capsize in Lake Merritt. OAKLAND, June 18.—While rowing last evening on Lake Merritt Dr. W. H. Sim- mons and H. F. Gleschen were tipped overboard by the capsizing of their boat. 8. E. Gleschen, a brother of the other Gleschen, went to the rescue and assist- ed the doctor, who is a portly man, oyt of the water. The brother took care of himself. Neither of the men was in se- rious danger, as the water's depth at the point they capsized is not more than four feet. Dr. Simmons’ friends congratulated him to-day, but insisted that the accident was caused by his overweighting the small craft.
