Patrick’s Day Convention Clears a Nice Sum From | intertainments March 17 The St. Patrick’s day convention held a meeting in theé Knights of the Red Branch ‘Hall, 1138 Mission street, yester- day afternoon to hear the reports of the St. Patrick’s day exercises and to ap- —} | prove the bill incurred thereby. The meeting was called to order by H. Flynn, chairman of the convention, and after a prayer in Gaelic by the Rev. Father T. Caraher. pastor of St. Fran- cis Church, the financial committee was ! called upon to make its report, which showed the proceeds from the day and { night entertainments to be $2413.80, with expenses’ of $58.65, leaving the amount lon hand $18%.65. There were still a few outstanding bills, which were turned over to the committee with full power to act. Chairman Flynn reported that the en- tertainments this year surpassed all those of previous years both financially and otherwise and attributed the great suc- He says The letters told | tpe Irish people have just bégun to realize that they have a few rights in this world, and he is glad to see that during the last year they have had the courage to assert those- rights. Upon the movement of the chairman it was resolved that the committee use its influence with all Irish orders against certain decorators and hall managers who fleeced the committee out of certain sums of money for hall ‘rent and decorations at the last -hour, when it was too late to make other arrangements, is al- leged that the committee failed to have its contraet in writing and at the last minute a bunko schéeme was worked upon them. A committee of three, consisting of M. ; O'Mahoney, John Mulhern and O. Mur- | phy, was appointed ‘to confer with the jtrustees of the Public Library with a view of having Gaelic books placed in | the library., It is sald that the Gaeli¢ | books in the Ifbray will not meet the de- | mands of the people and patrons have to walit several weeks to get the books de- | sired. The committee was also instruected to see what can be dohe toward getting the teachers of the public schools to take up the higtory of the Irish people. Much enthusiasm was shown when a resolution was offered asking that the convention use 'its influence to have a monument erected in honor of Commo- dore John Barry. The following reso- tion was unanimously adopted: Resolved, That the president of this soclety, which represents the Irish people of this city, be instructed to communicate with the Con- sressional delegates from this city and State and request that thev use their Influence in Congress to have @ snitable monument erected in the uaupgalsekpital to, Commodare John Barry, ‘the’ Yather of the American Navy. A vote of thanks was extended to the officers of the convention, who worked so hard for the success of the entertain- ment, . Thanks were also extended to the press, which rendered valuable service through its columns, and the public gen- erally for its patronage. ———————— ¥or Use at Banquets.

MAKES DOUBLY URE OF DEATH Laborer Grown 'De§pondent by :Failure in Search for /Work' Ends His Troubles PENS ' BITTER CHARGES Says an Employment Office Sent Him to Place Where Men Lived Like Animals After a bitter struggle to obtain work that would enable him to live like a human being, Leopold Sanger, a laborer, gave it up yesterday and ended his life in his room at 615 Turk street. To make death doubly certain he swallowed the contents of a bottle of wood alcohol, then turned on the gas. He left a letter describing the conditions he encountered in his search for work. His experiences are almost incredible. The man is particularly bitter against the firm of Murray & Ready, from whom he obtained work in a place where the sur- roundings, as described by him, are al- most bestial. work, written a few hours before he died, addressed to his landlady: Miss M. Morton, 615 Turk street, Dear Madam: - Kindly excuse me for causing you all this trouble. I really hate to do it, as you have been kind and considerate, but I cannot possibly avold it. When I went out iuto the country two days ago I did so with the intention cf going to work. The day before 1 went to Murray & Ready, the employment agents, and they offered me a Jjob at $60 a month. “‘Our fee is $1,” sald the man in the office. When I told him I had no money with me, he sald: ‘‘Well, there is no use talking to you unless you pay the $1.” So I went to Oakland and borrowed $10 from whereupon I recefved a letter telling me to 80 at 7 o'clock the next morning to Boiinas, Cal., to work In the cement factory (the place is a short distance beyond Pert Costa). 1 went there and got work at $2.25 a day, and was to start in at 6:30 the same eveni I went to look for the company's ledging-house and the steward took me to a big tent in which were bunks made from rough lumber with a dful of straw_thrown in, takirg the place of a matt No pillows or sheets at all. There some poor working slaves wers lying with thelr dirty and sweaty clothes on (for they cannot undress on account of the oper: straw they have to lie on) trying to sleep. They complained to me bitterly about their being treated worse than cattle. The food is scarcely fit to eat, although they are charged $6.25 a week for it. They told me that a week or two is as long as any man ever works there as a rule, as the hard work and inabil- ity to sleep on the boards wears them out. It I had not seen it with my own eves I would ot belleve that such conditions exist in this so-called civilized country * * * The sight of these quarters was too sick- ening for me to remain there, so the men told me who turned back as I aid. Before living in such misery, death is dreferable to me. The landlady smelled gas in the hallway yesterday afternoon and caused the room to be entered. Sanger was hurrfed to the Central Emergency Hospital, but he was beyond human aid before he reached the place. The body was taken to the Morgue. ———————— CLIFF HOUSE MANAGER SAYS FISHERMEN KILL THE SEALS Association for the Improvement and Adornment of San Francisco Asks 'Fhat the Law Be Enforced. J. H. Wilkins, manager of the CIiff House, in a recent letter to James D. Phelan, representing the Association San Francisco, has declared that the diminishing of the seals on Seal Rock is due entirely to the Italian crab fish- ermen, who daily ply their vocation around the rocks and are continually using the small arms which they carry in-the boat. He says that on more than one occasion he has seen a fisherman fire deliberately at a seal and the seal would drop into the water apparently wounded. The association has called the atten- tion of the Mayor and Supervisors to the destruction of the seals at the CIff and an effort Will be made to have the law enforced and the seals protected. The seals are diminishing year by year, and this year there are fewer than ever before in the history of the rocks. —_————————— Verbal virtues are blown away on the first wind of persecution.

RENY, 58 years | 0ld, 733 Broadway. | | A meeting was held yesterday by the West of Castro Street Club at Plant Hall, and Douglass streets, to protest agains the reoperating of the premises form- erly worked by Gray Brothers at Twen- ty-sixth and Douglass streets, by the Blue Rock Quarry Company whose ! offices are at 777% Market street. The | feeling of the members of the club and | residents and property owners not at-| fillated with the organization was in-| tensely opposed to any one coming. into | the neighborhood to “once more depre- ciate property and drive ‘citizens away from a naturally favored locality.” H. N. Gray of Gray Brothers was present and in reply to pointed ques- | tions put to him by J. M. Manning de- | clared that, though his firm .vacated the premises and made a distinct prom- ise never again to quarry there in com- pliance with the wish of the neighbor- | hood, he would certainly reinstall his plant should any other firm be allowed | the privilege. They gave up a costly plant and he contended it would be no | loss to a firm just contemplating the | working of . the quarry if it deter-| mined to give up the idea. < | " Gray said they fixed up the affair in| goad faith and went out of the nelgh- | borhood never dreaming that any one else would come into the district. If any other firm was allowed in, he said | emphatically that his firm must come | in again on its property. He had heard the rumor that Mrs. M. L. Craig had been around regarding the letting of the quarry to E. B. and ‘A. L. Stone and | others. | He said that after the expenditure of $20,000 he would naturally object if any other rock man went into his place, especially when he understood that it was stopped forever. He promised that | there would be no limit in the firm’s | endeavor to prevent others carrying on the work there. Manning said under the ecircum- stances that neither he nor any one could: blame the firm if it did as it| threatened. It had been sald that it was probable quarrying might be be- | gun on the Crocker estate, also close | by. yLeonnrd Stone, an attorney, argued in favor of operating the property and said that the only question was wheth- er it was possible, under the conditions, to so regulate the work as not to injure the surrounding property. . He . held that the proposed placing of the crush- ing plant in a position that it would not be exposed to the wind would ob- viate any injury or annoyance from dust and the use of electricity would do away with the objectionable fea- tures of smoke and noise. E. W. Stone of the Blue Rock Quarry Company said they would operate without smoke, dust or dirt, as they would crush below the surface. He admitted that his firm had a seven t Taboureite Weathered Oak Here is one of the good things of great value that we offer : Weathered Oak Furnifure for the DEN, LIV- ING ROOM or HALL is Just the thing—we have the LARGEST selection in the CITY.
