ticular interest has TRANSFERRED. This
season of the year is always a busy one
in San Francisco. Fruits and excur-
s%ionists going east in carload lots per-
haps is the most interesting topic. Few
e~xcursionists are coming in, but thou
sands are departing. The newest fad in
Frisco is what has long since been
A CHESTNUT EAST.
1t is the introduction of "Pinafore" at
the Mechanics Pavilion. Thousands
of people attend, and are delighted. 1t
may seem strange to your readers to
know that 'Pinafore'' is new-but it is
.'brand new" The Chronicle thus
speaks of the play: "!The lass that
loved q sailor bowed last night for the
second time from her majesty's ship
Pinafore, which floats so sedately at the
west end of the Mechanics Pavilion.
1t was another lass, though, than the
one who sang so admirably and bowed
so prettily on Monday night. But the
sailor was the same. The same old Jack
tar; and like the typical foremost hand,
his affections seemed to centre in the
pretty girl before him, and he had evil
IDENTIFY entirely forgotten her who only
twenty-four hours before he had sworn
TO love. The second nights perform
ance of the opera was enjoyed by about
1900 people, who %applauded everyone
and everything that was good, from the
'%real" tars out on the yards to the mid
shipmite who stole the admiral's
chapeau and left his own cap to cover
Sir Joseph's white hair"
1t may be proper for me to remark
here, that "Uncle Toms Cabin" would
not be q novelty.
A CHINESE HOSPITAL
has been for some time a topic of inter-
est among those living at University
Mound. The fear is that a Chinese hos
pital would render the locality where it
was situated undesirable and unhealthy.
Although the board of supervisors
passed an order restraining it's build
ing, Consul Bee declares it shall be
built. In an interview he said, reply
ing to the question concerning the pro-
posed prohibitory ordinance:
"Well, what of it? What Of the laun-
dry ordinance? What of the queue
cutting ~ordinancep What of the IRON
door ordinance, and wha t of the hun
dred other ordinances which have been
passed in this city by THE supervisors
an9 by the California legislature? The
federal court simply knocked the bot
tom clean out of them all, and so it will
out of this. The people have year in
and year out complained that we do not
take care of our sick and dying, but
throw them out on the street to die.
Now, when we propose to build a hospi-
tai for them the same as all other ma
tionalities, there is an objection raised,
and the supervisors to please their
own people rush in and pass.
an ordinance prohibiting the erection
of any hospital within the city and
county, except those who desire to erect
it:obtain permission from the board of
supervisors, to do SO. How about the
French hospital, the Siters of Mercy
hospital, the German, the Italian and
last, but not least, the city n county
hospital? Now what is sauce for the
goose is sauce for the gander. If it be
illegal to maintain a Chinese hospital
in the city and county it is most GER
tainly illegal to maintain any other
hospital. The Chinese are refused ad-
mission into the city and county hos
pital. They will not be taken in any
of the private hospitals nor will the au-
thorities permit them to build a hos
pital for themselves. All desire to
say just now is that the hospital will be
built just where We said it would unless
the supreme court in Washington
should decide otherwise" The
CABLE CAR CROSSING
question Is still being agitated and will
result in a great deal of ill-feeling.
At tho meeting of the street commit
tee on Thursday last, Superintendent
Lynch of the Powell street line opposed
a substitute ordinance proposed by At
torney Hale of the Market street road,
giving to the older lines the superior or
prior right to the crossings. Superin-
tendent Lynch objected to the plan on
xba r,o,,,1 that a nripr ipht-pf-Woy
franchise did not affect in the least the
privileges of opposing roads, even if the
date of their franchise were subsequent
to that of the other. 1t was charged
that the employees of the cable roads had
taken up their employers fight and in
various ways attempted to do each
other injury, particularly where the
roads intersected. The right-of-way to
the crossings was disputed by the grip
men of both lines, and in one or two
cases accidents have been the
result of this ill-feeling. In
order to definitely settle the rights Of
the roads at the crossings, Superintend-
ont Lynch is now attempting, with the
aid Of Supervisor Burns, to frame an
ordinance fully covering that point,
which is designed not on ly to avoid dis
astrOus accidents, but to save lives and
insure peace among the employees. In
the
PUGILIsTIC LINE
since McAuliffe's fray, n thousand full
tiedged knockers have developed.
There will be during the summer sea-
son a dozen mills between Local big
,uns"-but it is predicted that but little
ssnod will be spilled.
TO BE REMOVED.
The free public library, the pride of
all Friscans, will be removed during
the present month from the old DON
on bush street to the new quarters at
the new city hall. 1t is feared hat the
accommodations will be more cramped
than they are now, as the new room is
not as large as the old. 1t is hoped,
however, that some adjoining Dom may
be secured. All the shelving now in
use will be removed. The task of NOV
ing the 20, 900 volumes will probably re-
quire two weeks, and all books will be
called in before ii is commenced.
