The officers of South San Francisco Masonic Lodge were installed in its hall at Fourteenth and Rallroad ave- nues by Frederick C. Mayer, the retir- ing worshipful master, assisted by Past Master William McDonald as cere- monial marshal. At the conclusion of the ceremonies John S. Partridge, on behalf of the lodge, presented to the retiring master a valuable and artistic- ally made jewel, after which Secretary ‘Warner, on behalf of the retiring mas- ter, presented to Willlam McDonald and Samuel Hansen a richly engraved silver match box each in token of personal ap- preclation of the yaluable services they had rendered Mayer during the, time he was in the master’s chair. A ban- quet followed and there was a soclal hour after the supper had been fully discussed. The officers who are to serve during the current Masonic year are: - C. Alvin Miller. worshipful master; James A. J. McDonald, senior warden; M. Jensen Iverson, junior ' warden; Samuel Hansen, treasurer: Willlam J. B. Warner, secretary; James E. Elking- ton, senlor deacon; Richard Vellan, junior deacon: Charles William Benson, marshal; Simon MeG. McDonald, senior warden; Charles G. Johnson, junior warden: James S. Balley, tyler. ——— e May Attend Stolle Lecture. So popular have become the stereop- ticon lectures of Fraulein Stolle on the art centers of Burope that the dis- course on Venice yesterday afternoon was attended by a large audience de- spite the storm that was raging with- out, The artistic features of the city of the gondola were set forth in a most entertaining manner, the views on the screen adding keenly to interest and enjoyment. The great paintings that are treasured by the Venice folk were reproduced by the stereopticon, and Fraulein Stolle’s talk about them dis- played a keen appreciation of the art of the masters. —_———— Sir Alfred Harmsworth, the London newspaper man, had added another to his long list of publications, in purchasing the London World. assets. COAL SHORTACE VEXES DEALERS Difficulties While Trying to Explain to Particular - Consumers —— A great shortage of domestic coal ex- ists in the San Francisco coal yards. Re- tatlers find it difficult to fill orders for the varieties thet their customers desire to burn, Cold weather in this city and also in the north has depleted the local sup- plies and has caused a large falling off in the quantity of heat-making material available for shipment and use. This shortage {s but temporary. Direct- ly the supply will adjust itself to the de- mand. That is the law of trade. But for the present householders may be unable to get the sort of fuel that is most prized by them. Coos Bay an& Rosslyn coal are off the local market for the time. Not another pound of these varieties will arrive in this city for a week, so the retailers hear. All coal that has been accumulated at Tacoma has been wiped out in the Tacoma local demand. Bometimes there are fifteen to twenty kinds of coal In bins.in San Franecisco. Now there can hardly be more than one or two kinds for some days, for when a cargo of one sort getg in it is used in the place of all varieties until it s gone, and 80 is speedily put out of sight. Of East- ern coals the supply on hand is practically nothing. If cold weather should continue there will be much larger January shipments than any one could have foreseen a week ago. Local retailers are busy making ex- planations to particular consumers and meeting thelocal demand as well as they can, but the result is not entirely satis- factory and there is no possible way to better the conditions immediately. ;. ——r e b Calumet Trlbe of the Improved Order of Red Men will give its second anni- versary ball in Lyric Hall next Satur- day night. This enterprising tribe has | appointed an active committee to pre- sent an order of up-to-date dances and secure first-class music. Meet ! Confectioner Fails. Willard H.

Four accidents between the hours of 7 and 8 last night, causing seripus dam- age to pedestrians, horses and vehicles, marked an additional instance of neg- ligence on the part of the contractors carryimg on the work of street repairs on the car lines at the corner of Eight- eenth and Valencia streets and officials supposed to supervise such matters. At that section the ground beneath the car rails has been dug out to insert new frogs, leaving lengthy trenches three feet in depth on both sides of each rail, and over which, in daylight, a team may be driven with great care at imminent risk of a breakdown. In darkness the successful crossing of these holes is an impossible feat. Last night James J. Lynch, a jour- nalist “residing. at 715 Howard street, while hurrying acress to catch a pass- ing car, fell and sustained injuries to his shoulder and ribs, and no sooner had he been assisted out of the hole than a wagon of Sanborn, Vail & Co. broke down in.the same spot, smashing the wheels and gashing the horse. These were shortly followed by two other accidents, and complaints were lodged at the Mission police station. Witnesses aver that a red light of warning was placed in an obscure spot and could not be seen In crossing, and that beyond this no precautions were taken for public safety. It is expected .that actions for dam- ages will be Instituted by the com- plainants. Swindler Tries Another Scheme. The man who obtalned money from | business men by representing that he | was an agent of the Pacific States Tele- | phone and Telegraph Company was lauthorlzed to procure advertisements | for the company's directory has been | again heard from. He Is now collegt- | ing money by representing that he is |an agent of a newspaper. Two of his vietims, Mrs. A. M. Smith, 1624 Alabama | streets, and A. Goertsz, 1613 Alabama street, have complained to the police. —_——— Passes a Worthless Check. Fred Triest was arrested yesterday morning by Policemen O'Connell and Cornelius on a charge of obtaining money by false pretenses. The com- plaining witness is Abe Levy, 1718 Steiner street, who alleges that on Sep- | tember 15 Triest obtained $3 from him on a check by representing that he had money on deposit with the Colum= { bia Banking Company. The check was | worthless. ' CARPETS AND RUGS We are better preparad to sell all grades of carpe s =t lower prices than any other firm in the city. Why ? Because we are not members of the carpet combine; because we have no reat to pay ; because we buy in carload lots and discount our bills—three substantial reasons why we undersell others.
