Plans were prepared by Bruce Porter, and through the public spirit of the Board of Supervisors, who appropriated $5000 {n the municipal budget, and the Board of Pub- lic Works, under whose auspices the work was performed, the improvement is be- coming a reality. Small central parks have been laid out, two in the middle of Dolores street near Fifteenth and two near Seventeenth street, with grass plats along the outer edge of the sidewalks, on both sides of both blocks. Stone curbing and the necessary watering facilities have been provided. No planting has yet been done, but as the idea originated with the Outdoor Art League Department the members will not cease thelr efforts until | | the entire work adornment is complete. The ladies of the department express themselves as much gratified with the action of the Board of Supervisors and the Board of Public Works and with their active co-operation in developing the sug- gestion of the league. It is to be hoped that the planting be proceeded with without delay. It has long been a sorrow to those who love the old mission and the hallowed scenes about it to see bit after bit of the old civilization, with its grapevines, its pear trees and its prickly pear plucked up and thrown in the ash heap. And now the last bit—the garden of the Ruffinos—soon must go, with its vines and its prickly pear and its frult trees. But when grass grows on the square— where once the Mission orchard flourished —and trees sway oftly to the breezes that blow from hills beyond, the place will look less seared, less brutalized. And, by the way, could not some of those old Ruffino trees be secured for the | | plat near Sixteenth street? One would rather save the prickly pear—it is so splendid ana so characteristle of the Spaniard in all his abodes, but is there any San Franciscan with a hide tough enough to move it?

Mrs. John Purdie, a sickly woman, was sent to the Central Emergency Hospital last night by her husband, who desired her sent to the City and County Hospital. When put to bed she told a harrowing tale of abuse and neglect by her husband. She averred that he had beaten her on various occasions and Purdie was taken in charge by the City Hall police and charged with bat- tery. He will be prosecuted by the po- lice.

She would “give him an- other chance.” Purdie is a steward on the steamer Ruth. He admits hdving served time in for wife-beating. He alleges that he at one time sang in the Tivoli Theater.

CALL BUREAU, POST BUILDING, WASHINGTON, June 25.—The prices of fuel, clothing and practically all food products are constantly increasing, ac- cording to a bulletin just issued by the Bureau of Labor, cover:ng the period from 1890 to 1904. In the early nineties prices were very high, but in the last four years they have been steadily in- creasing, until now they are relatively higher than in 1892, just before the finan- clal and commerciai depression. The perfod of lowest preces was from | 1884 to 1897. The lowest price of beef was | in April, 189, when the best choice meat was quoted at $3 8 to $425 a hundred. The highest price was in the latter part of August, 1902, when the price was $7 60 to $9 a hundred pounds. Corn was lowest in 189 and highest in 1892. In the table of comparisons, in which the average price for the years from 18%0 to 1899 is taken as a base, sixteen ar- ticles of farm production, including sheep, cattle, hay, hogs, hides and grains, are enumerated. All except flaxseed have in- creased over the average price from 1890 to 1899. The increases’' of prices in 1904 ranged from 7.8 per cent on sheep and 9.7 per cent on cattle to 32.6 per cent on corn, 35.8 per cent on oats, 383 per cent on wheat and the greatest Increase of 9.2 per cent on New York State hops. The sverage increase in 1904 in the wholesale price of farm products over the average for the years from 1890 to 1899 was 26.2 per cent. Of fifty-two articles included under the head of food it is shown that in 1904 the price of all but fourteen ar- ticles was higher than the average price | of the same articles from 1530 to 1893. Seventy articles under the head of cloth and clothing show that the average price for 1904 was 9.8 per cent higher than the average from 18%0 to 1853. The table on fuel and lighting shows that the average 1904 price was 32.6 per cent higher than the 1390 to 1899 price. WEALTHIEST OFFICER RESIGNS FROM NAVY Lieutenant E. J. Berwind, of the Retired List, Leaves the Service. Special Dispatch to The Call, CALL BUREAU, POST BUILDING, WASHINGTON, June 25.—In the navy orders published by the Bureau of Navi- gation Is a paragraph stating that the resignation of E. J. Berwind as fieuten- | ant of the junior grade of the retired list was accepted to take effect on- Saturday. Lieutenant Berwind is senlor member of the firm of Berwind & White, coal deal- ers; a director in the Equitable Life As- surance Society, the Santa Fe Railroad and numerous other corporations and probably the wealthiest man in the naval service. Th precise reason why Lieutenant Ber- wind resigned is not disclosed. In his letter of resignation, he stated: *I feel that I can be of more service to the navy outside of it than In it.” By resigning Lieutenant Berwind loses about $1800 a year, as his pay as a re- tired officer. Some persons here think he may have decided that as he was wealthy, performed no service for his pay and made a great deal of money by sell- ing coal to the navy, it would be the proper thing to resign his commission. There is no statute which prohibits a re- tired officer from sharing in Government contracts. The Berwind-White Coal Com- pany has sold fuel to the Navy Depart- ment for years. It controls the output of Pocahontas coal in West Virginia. EIGHTEEN-HOUR RUN WILL BE RESUMED Ohio Accident Declared Not to Have Been Due to Speed of Train. NEW.

Brewitt of Oakland and Miss FIND VETERAN ALNOST DEAD Another Member of Old Sol- diers’ Home at Yountville Is Victim of Vile Whisky LIQUOR 1S Stuff Sold by Town Saloon- keepers Respensible = for Many Deaths at Institution POISONOUS | Special Dispatch to The Call. YOUNTVILLE, June 25.—The excessive use'by members of the Veterans’ Home of intoxicating liguors of the vile quality served up to them in the saloons of Yountville since the home canteen was abolished a year ago is becoming a seri- ous matter in its results. Another mem- ber of the Veterans’ Home at Yountville | has been found-in a dying condition on the road leading into the home. J. P. Marsan, who has been a member | of the home for about four years, had | been missing from his quartegs since yes- terday. To-day at 1 o'clock hW® was found unconscious on the road and brought to the hospital at the home In a state of complete collapse. It is supposed he had been visiting one or more of the many grog shops in Yountville, as he is suffer- ing from alcoholism aggravated by ex- treme éxposure. His death is probable. Dr. W. F. McAllister, medical director of the home, stated to-day that the liquor sold in most of the saloons In Yountville is of a very inferior quality. He said: “There are several decent saloons in Yountville, but the majority of these men do not patronize these saloons andy judging from the effects of the liquors sold in the ohes they do patronmize, it must be of a vile sort. It seems to act as. alcoholic poison, and has caused a great number of deaths among the mem- bers of the home. Not long ago an em- | ploye of the Magnolla saloon deposited a | veteran in a dying condition on the base- | ment floor of the hospital and he died within fifteen minutes after his admission. ‘When the canteen was in existence the men here were furnished with double- stamped goods eight years old, purchased in bond, and all other liquors were of equally good quality.” There Is intense indignation among the members of the home over an article if a San Francisco paper to-day wherein they are called “pauper inmates.” The veterans residing at tne home are not “paupers” or “inmates.”” Tone national and State laws and the Grand Army re- | ports designate them as “members” of | the home. The membership of 1000 in the California home represents intelligent | men of high character. The home is es- tablished and maintained for them not as | a measure of charity, but as a recogni- tion of their services in defense of the country. The appellation of ‘“‘pauper” applied to the disabled veteran is sharply resented in camp.
