A young man dressed in the height of

A business man chuekled as she nearly
fell, but did not stop.
A well-dressed woman said she ought to
be ashamed of herself for enjoying such a
masculine sport and continued on her way.
Several people passed in quick succession,

GAME AND FISH.
How the Laws Are Observed in
Santa Cruz County.

SpOrtsmen have been making, for the past few
days, great preparations for the opening of the
quaI-shOollng season which will be tomorrow,
October 1st. Accounts from the counties near
TO san Francisco state that birds are very plentl
full this year, but In parts OF Marin and Sln
Mateo counties several D-ves OF quail have been
seen recently which should not be mOeSted for
a few weeks. as the birds are yet too small for
the hunters bag.
Thomas TunsIead, chief Of the FISH patrO! and
a Deputy Sheriff OF san Mateo County, drove

Elaborate Trial of Their Ability to Catch
Escaped Criminals.
This county several months ago Dur

ers. The dogs were fastened in their ken

Bergen's house. He skirted the fence. and
reaching the railroad track climbed upon a
freight-car, walked along the roof of that
and other cars, coming to the ground again
about 200 yards off. He then took two long
planks and walked along them, carrying
each of them alternately, so that for 300
yards neither his feet nor hands touched
the ground. He then continued his course,
carefully covering his tracks in the dusty
roadway for half a mile. lie continued his
course for two more miles. using various
devices to destroy the trail, and finally took
refuge in a tree.
About three hours after the man had
reached the tree the dogs ere brought out.
As soon rs they caught the scent they
started off on a run, finding their first diff

run around in widening circles until the
scent was picked up again at point where
the man had left the car. The dogs had
but little difficulty in following the trail
from there TO the tree, where they came TO

discovered the object of their search.

California in 1919 and 1850 returned stricken
down with fevers and rheumatic affections
and the streets of San Francisco told their
tale only too eloquentiy. In the first
months of 1851 French mutual aid society
was established. On December 9th Of that
year Etenne Derbec, then editor of the
Daily Evening Picayuue, and now himself
an inferno in the Mason de Sante, made an
appeal which resulted in the appointment
of provisional committee of Cali
fOrnians. The first subscription Melted
Sl164 Following on this several resident
French physicians offered their services for
the gratnitous treatment OF necessitOus
cases. On December 18th permanent
committee of sixteen was appointed. 1t in
cuded the following: Charles Barroihet,
President; Barrere and Daugny, Vice.
Presidents: Covillard and Plantie. Secre-
taries; Eugene Delessert, Treasurer; Diree-
t0rs-GalIey, Cobb. Maury, Steiler, Durand,
Martin, Lebatard, Gardet, Toussaint and
d 'Oliviera.
The first step was the renting of certain
premises on Jackson street, near Mason, as
temporary hospital. In August. 1858, the
construction of a more effective hospital was
resolved upon. A plat was purchased on
Bush street, near Taylor, for $500. 10
cover the expenses the committee issued
a subscription list, which produced 5000.
TIE hospital was finished at the end Of
December, 1853. The expenses of c0nstruc-
ton were S7l95. A debt OF $3.50 remained
on the Institution, which caused the COM
mittee to contract loan of $1,000 at 2R per
cent per month, a very reasonable figure in
those days
A number OF circumstances contributed
to the change of quarters to the present site
on March To- 1853 The opening of the Bry-
ant-street institution WAS attended with I'M
usual civic and military celebrations.
Curiously enough, the first patient to be ad-
mitted was an artIleryman, Pierre Manciet,
whose arm was badly shattered by the pre-
mature explosion of a saluting cannon SO
that amputation became necessary.
The cost of construction of the new build
ing was S17,534. Including the ground, the

strueted in accordance with the require
ments of modern medical and surgical prac-
tice and that the major operations OF sur
gerry are now performed under conditions
not dreamed of when the present structure
was erected in 1855
In modern surgery, light and air and
antiseptic surroundings are held to be es-
sental. The old-style thick walls, dimly
lighted rooms, heavy curtains, and iIl-ven-
tlated corridors are regarded by rm-
theory enthusiasties as SO many devices by
which undertakers find fees. All this has
been changed, and modern hospitals have
to con form TO the type of which the new in
stitu ton at Mon pelier, France, is the ideal.
1t is on the plan Of this Institution that

based. When these crude designs arrive
and have been approved and modified by
the special committee shortly to be placed
in charge Of the work. local architects and
local contractors will be invited 10 get out
plans and specifications in their respective
denaTtments.
The present Institution, with grounds and
all improvements, is estimated to be easily
worth 100000. The price already paid for
the new plat of land on Point Lobos av-
enue near the new raee-track is SIS 767 %.
$1,000 in the bank after paying for the
land. so that there is plenty Of money
available for the construction of the new
hospital, even on the most eXacting require
'ments of modern sanitary aud surgical
science.
1t is to be remembered that when the
present institution was built, injuries to
the intestines. liver, spleen, kidneys, blad-
der and great organs OF the abdomen were
regarded As almost necessarily fatal. An
tiseptic surgery has changed all this, and
the new hospital will be constructed to Of
Ter TIE best chances for recovery to patients
laboring under the most desperate maladies
or surgical injuries.
HISTORY OF THE INSTITUTION.
Among the early French arrivals in Cali

foresight in matters OF practical sanitation,

The French Hospital Not Likely
to Be Closed.
1t Will Take the Special Committee a Long
Time to Perfect Their Plans-History
Of the Present Building.

The rumors that the Maison de Sante, or
French Hospital, on Bryant street, near
Sixth, will soon be closed, have given rise to
much anxiety in the section in which the
hospital is located, for its benefits have
been by no means confined to the French
citizens who support it.
In point of fact the Maison de Sante is
Gallo in name only, its benefactors are
COSMOPOLITAN and its good Offices in urgent
cases have been called for over and over
again and never found wanting
The principal consideration which is said
to have influenced the French Mutual
Benevolent Society, under whose auspices
the hospital is conducted, in moving their
sphere of operations to the corner of Point
Lobos avenue and Golden Gate Park, is that
the usefulness of the institution will be
really increased, since it is following the
present exodus of population. Moreover
the leading spirits in the French colony
assert that the present building is not con-

reaches the fiattering total Of SIS, 1858, with

the hospital from the site where it has
achieved so phenomenal success. Leav-
ing out of consideration the mere financial
outcome it appears that in the year ended
February, 1884, there had been received 77S
patients, of whom 451 were members of the
society and 322 strangers. OF these ia had
been discharged, cured or benefited, and AZ
had died.
1t is worth noting that the hospital, like
the society which conducts it, is literally
subsidized and patronized by French citi-
zens in the interior towns OF the State.
