There is Il tendency toward drop

cumbersome editorial ''Wc' and sub
siituting for il the more sensible and
equally effective "IN For Il long

set an example which progressive
Americans have not been slow t" copy.
III some cases this innovation has been
carried too far aud the old togics have
ha.l reason for the cry of ''rgotism"
Which they have raised. But it Is
hardly apparent to the ordinary intel

IN A CELLAR.
A Chinese Woman Held Prisoner on
LnidcsdOrff Street.

A Chinese Woman Held Prisoner on
LeidcsdorG Street.
Secretary Hunter of the Society for the
Prevention of Cruelty to Children received
letter yesterday containing the informa-
ton that a Chinese girl was detained prls-
oner in the basement of the saloon a. Il
Leidesdorff street. The news was consid-
cred surprising, as the place mentioned is a
well-known resort of stock brokers and bust
ness men, and has an extensive patronage
during the midday hours.
The basement consists of kitchen for
the lunch counter in the saloon, and is occu-
pied by two Chinese cooks. The letter was
given to Officer Holbrook, who set off at once
to investigate. He was told by three bar
tenders in the saloon that no Chinese
woman was there, but he insisted upon
entering the cellar. With some show of re-
luctance the bar tendersidirected him down
stairs, where the woman was found huddled
up in heap of blankets ami old clothing
The saloon men had nothing to say then Tor
themselves and allowed Holbrook to take
the woman TO police headquarters.
To Chief Crowley the unfortunate female
stated through an interpreter that she had
been smuggled from her husbands home on
Sacramento street i've days ago and confined
in the cellar She did not know the address
OF her home in Chinatown, saying that she
seldom left the house. She will be given
temporary home in one of the missions

" TEN-BLOCK SYSTEM"
A California Plan That Is Meeting with
Warm Praise Abroad.

A California Plan That Is Meeting with
Warm Praise Abroad.
a writer in recent number of the Ameri-
can Garden calls attention to the " ten block
system" of numbering land and houses.
which is there spoken of in terms Of high
approval. The writer says it is a California
idea and gives the credit of its origin to 4.
J.. Bancroft of San Francisco. lie owns
valuable property in Contra Costa County
and in that part Of the State the system has
been put in operation. The following is a
brief description: Each mile along the roads
is divided into ten equal parts OF imaginary
blocks of 528 feet, 176 yards or eight chains
each, and assign TO each block two mum 0erS,
one on each side OF the road. Any and every
house located within block is given the
number of the block. The first one-and in
nearly every case it will be the only one IN
the b!ock-has simply the number; the
second one has the same number followed
by the letter A, the third by the letter u,
The fourth by the letter G and so on-Sos.
$50, 1864, 1853, 1860, etc. if the block has
10 house tine number is assigned it just the
same and it remains until one is built.
The writer says further: The advantages
it presents are numerous and important.
The traveller could easily compute distances
and acquire directions. The numbers on
the gate-p0sts or over the doors would be
mile-stones Country directories could be
published. But above all, it would quicken
communication and intercourse in the coun-
try. 1t would be powerful ciyllizer.
To make this feasible system of naming
country roads must be inaugurated, and
this, too, our Ca iforna friends are perfect
ing. In Contra Costa County, lying against
san Francisco, are such charming bits as
the following: Contra Costa highway, run
ming through the county and striking the
county seat; Rio Vista, Mountain Drive,
Willow Pass road, Golden Gate way, Lime
Ridge crossing, Stanley road, and the like.
We know of nothing so good rs this since the
efforts Of dear old Jacob Biglow in naming
the walks and drives Of Mount Auburn.
