' . ’ Burnham, the guest of hcnor, was | the first speaker -alled upon. | He elaborated upon the advantages | ard told how a ci made beautiful. He said tha did the architectural designs the general appearance of a municipality, but that flowers, palms and greens, artistically adorned wpon buildings and homes, all tended to make a pleasing effect, and that if it is impossible to tear down old struc- tures and replace them with more mod- ern ones the next best thing to do| is to decorate the old ones. of a beautiful city, y be o tioirom — { | i | i | i { | | | | ST S TR 10 WILL AS SAN FRi Mr. Burnham also recommended that{\ henceforth local architects and builders | ite their efforts in making this mu- nicipality and pleasant as possible. as artistic Others that spoke upon the subject of architectural art were Allen Pollok, | manager « (h» St. Francis Hotel w n, H.

At the conclusion of the speeches, by unanimous vote it was declared: *“It is the sense of the meeting that Mr. ! Burnham be invited to draft a plan for he nnpxn\lewn( and advancement of | San Francisco. It was announced that the architects of the city would hold a reception at| the hall of San Francisco Chapter Of‘ the American Institute of Architects, on the fifth floor of the Phelan building, at 10 o'clock to-morrow morning. All | architects are invited to attend this| meeting. | - COMIC OPERA PRESENTED FOR BENEFIT OF SCHOOL THE | Pupils of Presentation Convent Sing “The Mascot” to Large Audience at Alhambra Theater. | “The Mascot,” a pretty little comic | opera, was presented at the Alhambra Theater last night under the auspices of the Past Pupils’ Association of the Presentation Convent, Powell and T Lombard streets.

City Attorney Long advised the Board of Works yesterday that the failure of the S.

HEROISM OF GIRL SAVES THE LIVES OF TWO BOYS Miss Viola Rosenberg Nearly Drowned While Rescuing Harry and Earl Powell. The heroism displayed by Miss Viola Rosenberg, 1515 Treat avenue, last Sunday .night when she went to the rescue of Harry and Earl Powell, two small boys who were nearly drowned in a swamp at Precita avenue and Folsom street, has just been made public. The lads waded into the swamp and their cries for aid attract- ed the young woman’s attention. She waded into the pool after them and wag struggling for more than ten min- utes, when she became exhausted and would probably have been drowned had not a passerby come to the res- cue of the three just in the nick of time. The citizens of the Precita Valley district are up in arms against the of- fensive swamps and creeks in their locality and to-merrow night they will hold a big mass meeting at Precita avenue and Folsom street. Steps will be taken to have the authorities drain the pools, for lately several persons have nearly lost their lives in the sloughs. ———— Large Crowd at Circus. The popularity of the great Floto shows, now exhibiting at Eleventh and Market streets, was again manifested yesterday by two large audiences that filled the mammoth tent to its capacity. Unlike the majority of attractions, the management of the Floto shows is striving to give quality rather than quantity and everything that is the best in circusdom has been secured. All of the acts were received with great favor and the quartet of trained ele- phants in their initiatory ceremonies of a candidate into the “Order of Ele- phants” created a sensation. Two per- formances are given daily and the show closes Sunday night. The Ben Hur herd of Arabian stallions, from Abdul Hazzar's celebrated stock farm near Constantinople, are one of the main features, {900 for regular | but agreed to get along with $31,300.} !
