It proved a very merry affair and in fact was such a success that the girls decided to make | annual event. | More than 250 happy dancers partici- pated in the grand march, which began {at 9 o'clock. The were handsomely decorated with a pro- fusion of evergreens and bunting. | Dancing was kept up till a late hour. The dance was in charge of the fol- lowing patronesses: Mrs. Leon Carrau, Mrs. Tirey L. Ford, Mrs. James J. Red- mond, Mrs. Willlam L. Stanley, Mrs. Harlowe White and Mrs. K. O. Lun- | strom. Refreshments were served in the marble room after the dancing was concluded. e, CAPTAINS BOLLES AND BULGER START FOR SOUTHERN SEAS Supervising Inspector Jobn Berming- ham Departs for Washington to Attend Comvention of Officials. | Captaing O. Bolles and John K. ulger, Uhited States Local Inspectors | of Steam Vessels, accompanied by their clerk, Thomas Craigie, will leave by the steamship Alameda to-day for Hono- | lulu. They will remain in the islands for two months and a half, making a thorough inspection of all the vessels there. Clerk Craigie enjoys the dis- tinction of holding the United States record for the longest t&rm of service in the steamboat inspection line, he having held the position of clerk in the local office for thirty consecutive years. It is safe to predict that there will be no leaky craft in Hawailan waters | when the inspectors have finished their | 1abors. George Whitney, inspector of | hulls, and Frank Newhall, inspector of | bollers from the District of Alaska, will | have charge of the office during the | absence of Captains Bolles and Bulger. | United States Supervising Inspector John Bermingham left for Washington, | D. C., yesterday for the purpose of ar- tending the annual convention of Su- pervising inspectors. The session will {consume about one month's time. * ¥ death or the breaking down of those in the field. The speaker illustrated the rare enthusidsm of men who had in early life done great Christian work in the world, | and remarked that there may be some young man in San Francisco who will yet arise and lead in a great spiritual uplift, such as was done by Sir George Williams and Meody when young men. Dr. Goucher told of the missionary’s la~ bors in India, where thousands of natives have been converted. There was not a single missionary soclety, he said, which has the command of sufficient finances to meet the demand for maintaining mis- sions. In one part ofhis address Dr. Goucher | said that wherever there is a promising minister doing ®00d Work the devil prompts him to speak on philosophy, science, economics and the social ques- tion, end when he speaks of the llv!nl Gospel Satan takes a vacation. There is nothing doing in that ehurch. The missionary classes will be taken this morning, at § o'clock; and this afternoon at Central Methodist Epis- copal Church. Owing to the great num- ber of classes and meetings held the executive committee has decided that it would be too great & strain on the visitors from the East and therefore abandoned the meeting this evening at the Central Church. 1 m 2y VAN WINKLE'S WILL FILED FOR PROBATE ricide Leaves His Entire Estate to His Mother, Four days before he killed himself in Golden Gate Park, Lawrence E. Van Winkle, capitalist and clubman, exe- cuted his will, leaving his entire es- tate, valued at nearly $500,000, to his wother, Isabella Van Winkle. The in- strument, which bears date of Decem- ber 30, 1905, was filed for probate ves- terday. The fact that it was drawn such short time before Van Winkle shot himself gives rise of the bellef that when he penned the instrument he had istenc: The property left by the suicide con- sists of an { est in the business and estate of his father, the late I. 8. Van Winkle of I S. Van Winkle & Co., deal- ers in iron and steel, at 415 Market | street. Mrs. Van Winkle, sole devisee of her son's estate, resides at 2724 Broadway. life the testator was 35 years of age. It has been asserted that Van Winkle committed suicide as a,result of the | action instituted ainst him by Charles N. Watson of Sonoma County for the alleged alienation of the affections of Mrs. Watson, Mrs. Watson, who sep- arated from her husband, is now living in thys city. At the time the suit was filed she as- serted that there was no foundation for her husband’'s charges against Van Winkle, As she supported him in the defense of the suit denial has been made of the theory that the suicide was the outgrowth of the suit. As he left no explanation behind, however, 'the full story of the causes that made him decide that life was not worth the lv- ing will never be known. ——— DE HAVEN SHOWS MEROY TO MAN WITH CONSCIENCE Jens C. Jensen Let Off With a Fine for Using a Faise Certificate of Naturalization, Jens C. Jensen, who was compelled by conscience to accuse himself of fraudulent naturalization, was sen- tenced yesterday by United States Dis- trict Judge de Haven to pay a fine of $800, or in default to be imprisoned in the Alameda County Jail until paid. D. T. Sullivan. consul for the ac- cused, and Special Assistant United States District Attorney Frank A. Dur- yea made strong pleas for clemency. They recited the fact that Jensen, be- fore he had been even suspected, had voluntarily confessed that he had paid the notorious Frank Johnsoh $20 for a certificate of naturalization, and that he had never appeared in court or before a Judge for the purpose of being ad- mitted to citizenship. Attorney John Stieglitz, an old friend of the defendant, was active in working for clemency, ———— David Starr Jordan Lectures. President David Starr Jordan of Stan- ford University delivered a very inter- esting address before.a highly atten- tive and appreciative audlence on the “Young Men of the Twentieth Century” at the Young Men’s Christlan Associa- tion auditorium last evening.

The pro- gramme decided on by the club, and which will be presented to the city autherities, outlines an extensive sys- tem of improvements for the North Beach aistrict, and also asks that Tele- graph Hill be improved according to the plans of City Engineer Grunsky and Architect Burnham. The club will also ask for an appropriation to purchase lands near the crest of the hill in order to save it from further devastation at the hands of the quarry men. A special committee will be appoint- ed to agitate the proposition of lower- ing the grade of Sansome street to the water front line, 50 as to permit access to the North Beach district, underneath the crossing at Broadway, according to the Grunsky plan. A comprehensive report, showing the condition of all the streets in the dis- trict, was presented to the club, and adopted, and the club will demand the removal of all the old cobblestone pavements within the district, the same to be replaced with basalt block and asphalt, according to grade. The re- pavement of Montgomery avenue, from Washington to Union, will also be urged, and the relaying of the Union thor- oughfare, without which a modern pavement is tmpossible, INSIST ON CLEAN STREETS. Street sweeping in the district will be under the inspection of the club, and an extension of the dally sweeping district so as to include the main business thor- oughfares of North Beach will be insisted upon. A plan for the improvement of Wash- ington square, including the repaving of the laying of new sidewalks, will be pre- pared by the club and presented to the Board of Public Works and the Park Commisgioners for adoption. The club will also, through its commit- tees, insist upon the removal of old wood- en sidewalks, which have long been an offense throughout the district, and the laying of sidewalks where none now ex- ist, the better policing and lighting of the district and the enforcement of the sanitary laws in regard to the creation of nuisances by the dumping of refuse mat- ter in the water lots along the foot of Montgomery avenue. The Board of Education will be ap- pealed to to provide for 2 modern school- house out of the bond issue for the west- ern slope of Telegraph Hill, where the school facilities are at present overcrowd- ed and the children are forced into an- clent buildings that should have been demolishéd a generation ago. A branch public library will be asked for, and the speedy purchase and con- | struction of a children’s playground, with an outside gymnasium, insisted upon. This improvement is already provided for in the bond issué, and the residents of North Beach are irritated at the delay in the selection and purchase of the necessary | land. TO WATCH CHINATOWN. The club also resolves to keep a watch- ful eye upon Chinatown, which has been cleaned up at such heavy expense by the taxpayers of this city and State, in order that the money expended shall not be | wasted and the quarter kept in good con- |dit!f\n to obviate the danger of any epi- demic, | President Theodore Bacigalupl an- nounced the appointment of the follow- | ing standing committees: Legislation and appropriations—James C.

MUNICIPAL BONDS SOLD TO THE HIBERNIA BANK City Disposes of Securities for Street Improvement Work to the Value, of $324,000. The Supervisors’ joint Committes on Finance and Utllities yesterday ae- cepted the bid of the Hibernia Bank for the purchase of municipal street bonds of the face value of $324,000. The bank bid par on the bonds, together with ac- crued interest and $100 premium. The bid of the Mission Bank for a portion of the same issue, aggregating $37,500, was rejected, as the Hibernia '« Bank bought the entire lot. A condition of the sale is that the bonds shall be de- livered te the Hibernia Bank on or be- fore March 3, 1908, which will relieve it of the payment of taxes on the amount, since the bonds are non-tax- able. The committee decided to hasten the preparation of all plans fof buildings to be constructed under the b is- sue and to that end the City Architect meeting next Monday. It {s proposed to have the plans made by local ‘archi- tects. ———— State Floral Soctety Meets.
