YOUNG WOMEN ARE PRESENTED WITH DIPLOMAS + 7 THRLENG ONE OF THE TRAINED NURSES WHO GRADUATED LAST NIGHT. L A — { Nurses of Class of 1903Grad- uate From St. Mary’s Training School. e The class of 1908 of St. Mary's Hos- pital Training School for Nurses held its graduating exercises last night in the Maple room of the Palace Hotel. It was the first class to graduate pub- licly from that institution. The Maple room was prettily dec- orated with greens and the class sat beneath their motto, “Virtus sola nobil- itas” (virtue alone ennobles), strung | in large letters across the end of the | room. The programme was an excel- lent one. At its close, when the young ladies were given their diplomas, the audience greeted them with great ap- Dr. Charles D. McGettigan pre- sided. The programme was opened by an in- strumental quartet, composed of the following named: Flute, J. E. Hax; ‘cello, H. Bruenn; violin, H. Seekamp; piano, Mrs. H. Seekamp. Miss L. Hack- ! meister, accompanied by Miss L. Ryder, rendered a vocal solo in fine voice. Dr. T. E. Bailly of St. Mary's Hospital made a few remarks on the training of | nurses, their studies, the disagreeable nature of their work and thelir untiring thirst for medical learning. A violin solo by Nathan Landsberger was then ably given. Following the violin solo Dr. George Childs McDon- ald, visiting surgeon to the hospital, delivered a talk on “Nursing, Past and Present.” “If I Were King,” a barytone solo, was sung by S. Homer Henley in a rich, voluminous voice. Mr. Henley’'s effort was recelved with so much applause that he was compelled to rendeér an encore. He was very ably accompanied by his brother, Charles Henley. Archbishop Montgomery * presented the young women with their diplomas and then made an address. In part he said: “There is a kinship between the nurse, the physician and the priest. You nurses have a very well defined course before you. Nursing is a pro- fession almost as distinctly defined as that of a physician. The physiclan knows well that a part of his success | is due to the faithful work of the nurse assisting him. ““The physician knows that the con- dition of the mind has a great deal to do with the success of his treatment of the body. He knows that the priest is able to give to the sufferen a peace of mind that materially assists in the pa- tient’s recovery. “No one knows better than the priest the untiring devotion that the nurses and doctors put into their work. Life is sacred. Man’s life is God's. Man has no right to commit suicide, has no right to take his own life any more than he has the right to take another’s, unlees that other has shown that he has no right to his life. “The Catholic church looks upon the trained nurse and physician as apostles. Your motto 18 a grand one, ‘Virtue alone ennobles.’ Virtue in its wide sense means devotion to duty. Any one that does not fulfill his duty as a man has no virtue. The soul is the greatest that is in man. The priest is the min- ister to the soul; the physiclan the minister to the body. “I have had doctors preach to me that when & man is sick and they know that he is going to die that it is mercy to hasten the end and put him out of misery. Man's life is God’s, and it id his right to say when that man shall forfeit his life. I don’t know whether there are many murders committed in is to die and the physician thinks that he has but a week to live, let it be left to God to say when he shall die. That week that he has to live may be the salvation of his soul. We look on the priest and nurse as ministers to the body. You nurses take care of the body and we of the soul. ““We feel a kinship because as long as soul and body are united we min- ister together. Be true to your motto, ‘virtue alone ennobles.’ When you go home from a case that has caused you many sleepless nights, if you have re- ceived no thanks for your work, you have the knowledge that there is one who has appreciated that you have | done your duty.” The following named received diplo- mas: Miss Laura J. Deasy, Oakland; | Miss Elizabeth Gillon, San Francisco; Miss Isabel M. Moore, San Francisco: Miss Estella V. Ryder, S8an Francisco; Miss Helen B. Sarsfield, Oakland; Miss Helen M. Stack, Ban Francisco; Miss Margaret Sheehy, Watsonville; Miss | Bessie A. Watson, San Francisco. —_————— Is Arrested for Cruelty. J. Joseph, a driver for W..

The Board of Works was requested | to grant the permission asked to cer- tain taxpayers who have petitioned to erect at their own expense a concrete safety statlon in the vicinity of Mar- | ket, Fourth, Ellis and Stockton streets similar to the one at present located near Lotta's fountain. | The Santa Fe Rallroad Company was | granted an extension of time until April 80, 1904, within which to build a steel bridge along a portion of Nineteenth | street over its proposed track system | at Indiana street.

In an affidavit filed by Cotton he states that Miss Kirkpatrick is about to leave for the Philippines, to be absent for a year or more. L e e e e e 2 ol ) \DINNG LAGEOF BESPEGTABILY Complete With . Every Detail of Service and Equipment. —_——— Amid a profusion of flowers and the glare of countless electric bulbs in dain- tily formed electroliers, the guests of the new grill of the Lick House were intro- duced to San Francisco's latest creation in dining accommodations. Without doubt the grill of the Lick House, fashioned under the direction of the proprietor, Mr. George W. Kings- bury, whose years of experience have excellently fitted him to judge of the needs and comforts of his guests, is one of the handsomest and most inviting of any place of its character on the coast. The o0ld Dutch style of architecture has been chosen as best contributing to the ideas of the proprietor, whose chief mo- tive has been to provide a dining-room that at once appeals to the artistic taste of the patrons as well as caters to their stronomic sense. The walls and cefl- ng are papered in a deep red, set off with dark Flemish oak woodwork, that con- trasts most favorably and produces a harmonious color effect. The tables and chairs, the latter being the high back cane-seated type, conform to the general style. Three separate entrances, one through the hotel office for men, one through the reading-room for ladies, and still another from Lick place giving a short cut from either Post or Sutter streets to Kearny-street patrons, all together form a feature of convenience not found in any other dining-room in town. The place has been undergoing preparations for several weeks and every detail of the service has been made per- fect. Before the plans were perfected the steward, one of the most competent in the business, toured the East in search of the most modern ideas and ap- pliances, and under his direct manage- ment and the general supervision of Mr. Kingsbury patrons may well ‘be assured of securing the best meal a la carte to be had in town.

The petition of the Pacific States Tel- ephone and Telegraph Company that it be granted an extension of one year from January 12, 1904, in which to change the location of its wires so as to comply with ordinarce No. 621, reg- ulating the erection of electric poles, wires, cables and appliances, was re- ferred to the joint Committee on Police, Fire and Streets by the Board of Super- yesterday. v"’l‘.:: c}:rsponltion says that owing to certain disputes which existed betweex: it and its linemen for four months pask it has been unable to finish the wodx'l necessary to be done under the ordl- nance.

A petition of property owners that sidewalks be constructed on Point Lo- bos avenue from Williamson slre.et to First avenue where they are no al- ready laid was referred to the Street Committee. The petitions say that no sidewalk has been laid on the street for 1800 feet and 250 children attending the Richmond School are compelled to walk over the street and thus endan- heir lives. ‘e.i ‘number of revised ordinances to comply with charter requirements were finally passed by the board. —————————— ATTORNEY JONES WILL NOT BE PROSECUTED Administratrix of thé Mooney Es- tate Will Not Apply for a ‘Warrant.

He did not make his appearance. ‘Attorney Frank Kelly, who repre- sents Mrs. Cornella McNamara, the ad- ministratrix of the estate, called upon Judge Conlan yesterday and said there was no desire on the part of his client to procure a warrant for Jones’ arrest, as she was ndt aware that Jones had embezzled any funds belonging to the estate of her brother. No demand had been made upon Jones by her, but she had instituted suit in the civil courts for the recovery of moneys from the banks where they had been deposited and withdrawn by Jones. ————————— Sentenced for Robbery.

City Attorney Lane filled an opinion yesterday in which that official holds that the Board of Public Works has the power, if it sees fit, to increase the ‘wages of laborers in the employ of the | city. The opinion is the outcome of a petition from the Laborers’ Protective Union requesting an increase of labor- ers’ wages from $2.50 to- $3 per day. The opinion says: “The charter fixes the minimum ‘wage for laborers in the service of the city at $2 per day, but also confers power on the Board of Works to fix the compensation of workmen under its control. Pursuant to power con- ferred upon the Board pf Supervisors, it passed an ordinance providing that the minimum wages of laborers shall be $2.50 per day. Such action of the Supervisors in so confining their leg- islation to the minimum wage left room for action by the Board of , Works. “The Board of Supervisors has merely fixed the minimum wage and it is still within the power of the Board of Works to increase the wage. In so doing there would be no violation of the ordinances of the Supervisors nor of the charter.” Lane also advised the Board of Su- pervisors that it has power to pass a proposed ordinance restricting the operation of cleaning machines and engines on the sidewalks and other public places. Lane says that the board’s jurisdiction over such public places can hardly be questioned, and under the police power vested in the board by the State Constitution and the charter, it has the right to legislate upon such subjects. The report of the Judiciary Commit- tee that the ordinance is discriminating and therefore invalid because it ex- empts machines used on public work from its provisions, resulted in the ref- erence of the measure again to, the City Attorney, with a request that he ad- vise as to its constitutionality. The petition of the San Francisco Labor Council that the ordinance grantihg permission to Archbishop Riordan, as president of St. Mary's Help Hospital, to maintain a spur track on Filbert and Sansome streets to connect with the belt road be re- pealed, was referred to the Street Com- mittee. The petitioner states that two years have elapsed since the passage of the ordinance -and the grantee thereof has failed to exercise the privi- lege which the Labor Council declares will be prejudicial to the interests of the Brotherhood of Teamsters and kindred organizations. —_——— POLICE COMMISSIONERS WIN A VICTORY AT LAW Supreme Court Declares That Patrick Jones Is Not Entitled to Rein- statement on Force. The Supreme Court decided yesterday that the Board of Police Commission- ers of San Francisco could not be com- pelled by law to reinstate Patrick J. Jones as patrolman. The plaintiff was dismissed in April, 1894, In October, 1901, he commenced pro- ceedings to be restored to his old posi- tion on the force. The Police Commis- sioners demurred to the complaint in the Superior Court, but were overruled and judgment was rendered in behalf of Jones. An appeal was taken to the Supreme Court. The last named tribunal holds that the demurrer should not have been overruled, a# actlon in the case is bar- red by the statute of limitations. It is ordered that the proceedings be dis- missed. Nothing is said as to the merit of Jones’ contentions and had he com- menced action at an earlier date he might have won his suit. —_——— Eight large windows of Pattosien Co., Sixteenth and Mission, are filled with beautiful dining-room furniture.

The Board of Public Works yesterday submitted a recommendation to the Board of Supervisors that it would be to the public interest to change the grade on Golden Gate avenue, at its in- tersection with Jones and Leavenworth streets, as follows: 1. To lower the grads at Golden Gate avenue and Jones street, now estab- lished at 48 feet by 11 feet, and estab- lish at 37 feet. 2. To lower the grade at Golden Gate avenue and Leavenworth street, now established at 59 feet, by 13 feet, and establish at 46 feet. The proposition to reduce the grade on Golden Gate averue is now in the ers, who will report its desire in the matter to the Supervisors’ street com- mittee this afternoon. Grades were ordered established at certain points on Parnassus avenue, Lotta, South Brederick, Gordon and Tilden streets and Park Hill avenue. The roadways of Bryant street, be- tween Nineteenth and Twentieth streets, and Twentieth street, between Bryant and York streets, were fully ac- cepted. An ordinance was passed to print re- ducing the width of sidewalks in the vicinity of the Southern Pacific term- inals, on Fourth street, from Channel street southeasterly to the water front, and on Kentucky street, from Channel street to Second avenue south, from 19 feet to 15, and reducing the sidewalk widths on the southerly side of Six- teenth street, between lllinois and Sev- enth streets, from 15 feet to 8 feet; also that the width of sidewalks on northerly side of Sixteenth street, be- tween Illinois street and a point 650 feet easterly from Seventh street, be fixed at their present official width of 15 feet, and from the point named to San Bru- no avenue they be reduced from 15 feet to 10 feet; that the waik on the north- erly side of H street, from First ave- nue to the Great Highway, be abol- ished. The Board of Works was authorized to expend $2125 for the construction of a bituminous rock pavement on Du- pont street, between Pacific street and Broadwa; e FOREIGN LETTERS MUST BE FULLY PREPAID Double the Deficiency in Postage Is Collected in Great Britain From Addressees. The British Forelgn Office has re- cently called the attention of the su- perintendent of foreign mails, Wash- ington, D. C. to the fact that a recent scrutiny of mails from the United States into Great Britain shows that they contain a higher Den:ent?e of in- sufficlently prepaid letters than usual, and the Washington authorities are re- quested to take some steps to bring the matter more especially to the at- tention of the American public. The single rate-on letters from the United States to Great Britain is § cents for each half ounce. If this is not paid in advance there is a charge of double the deficiency collected on the letter in Great Britain. It may be said, also, that the foregoing penalty is exacted on all correspondence in the Postal Union mails. — Lecture by Rev. E. L. Parsons. The fourth of the series of lectures by Rev. Edward L.

At The Board of Supervisors yesterday took preliminary steps toward the fix- ing of the water rates for the next fiscal year by adopting a resolution calling on the Spring Valley Water Company and othdr conc€rms or per- scns supplying water to the inhabit- ants of this city to furnish statements regarding their financial operations and showing the amount of money actually expended annually since com- mencing business, and also their gross annual cash receipts. The Board of Works was requested to furnish, not later than February 1, 1904, an appraisement of the properties of the Spring Valley Water Company for the purpose of fixing the water hands of a committee of property own- | rates thereon. The board directed the Spring Valley Company to furnish, not later than January 5, 1904, an inventory of all its properties actually used in supplying its consumers with water. The Board of Work was requested to inform the board what action, if any, had been taken regarding the re- quest for a report on the safety of buildings in Chinatown submitted three months ago. Supervisor Comte presented a resolu- tion asking the Election Commission to explain why the election booths are not being removed from the sidewalks, but withdrew the resolution when he was informed that the delay was caused by the necessity of the erection of a suitable warehouse in which to store the booths. The ordinance prohibiting the bribery of police officers and fixing the penalty for violations at $500 or by imprison- | ment at six months was finally passed. The amended ordinance regulating the maintenance of shooting galleries s0o as to permit the Golden Gate Club to maintain an indoor range within the city limits for the purpose of holding revolver contests was re-referred to the Judiciary Committee for the purpose of redrafting it. —————— Rainfall Is General.
