NEW CITY HALL.
Commissioner Smiley UnbOsOms
Himself of Resolutions.

1t took the City Hall Commissioners al
most all the afternoon yesterday TO dispose
of the matters that came up for considera-
tiou. Commissioner Smiley came in bur-
dened with resolutions, and as soon as the
meeting was well under way he commenced
firing them off. The first directed the SUI
perintendent of Construction TO cause the
removal of the builders rubbish about the
City Hall. Adopted.
Another directed the Superintendent to
confer with the Health Inspector in relation
to the sanitary arrangements and plum bin G
in the Hall. Adopted.
A third declared 1t the intention of the
board to appoint three gardeners to lay out
grass plats on the City Hall reservations,
their employment to continue at the option
OF the board. Adopted.
Fourth-lt was decided TO direct the
architect to prepare specifications for the
granite capplDgs, LAMPS and cement walks
on Larkin and McAllister streets and for a
driveway from the McAllister-Street front
TO the police station
Henry L. Day, who has the contract for
the completion OF the County Clerks de-
partment, asked for an extension of time of
100 days, explaining that he was not per-
mitted TO commence work until after JaDu-
AIRY 1st because of the backwardnesS of the
other contracts.
Commissioner Smiley was not at all salts
fed with the explanation. Day, it was dis
covered, had contracted to do in four months
what could not possibly be done i'll less
than six months
That is just the practice propose to
have stopped" said Mr.. Smiley. Con
tractors should learn that they take great
risks when they contract to do that which
they know 10 be impossible"
The extension asked for was granted, but
with the understanding that no more would
be allowed, and Shain IL Hoffman were
next granted four months extension of
time on their contract to complete the
northeast wing having been delayed in their
work by another contractor.
The resignation of Victor Hoffman rs
first assistant architect was received and &C.
cepted The final payment of SlS,o50 TO
McG0wan 81 Butler was ordered also the
final payment of SIS, 725 to Mccain & Rid
dell, and the Secretary was ordered 10 ad-
vertiSe for bids for the construction of two
steel vaults in the County Clerk office.

In southern California jack rabbits
are pest, and many plans have been
tried to reduce their number. The
latest scheme is for poisoning them,
suggested by citizen of Hanford. He
cuts watermelon in two and sprinbles
strychnine over it, then sInoothes a
knife over the sprinkled surface This
tends to send the poison through the
fruit, and the rabbit partal1ing of any
part of the fruit viii surely die. BY
drawing a board or scantling through a
field of alfalfa, thus breaking road,
the rabbit will follow the trail, which,
if supplied with poisoned melons, will
result in death to all that eat.

Russian sunerstItion.

A curious case of gross superstition
was recently brought before the Grim
inal sessions court at Samara, in Rus
STA. Six peasants were tried and SEN
fenced to imprisonment for terms of
various duration up to four months for
deliberately disinterring the body of a
woman who had died of intoxication
and floating it down the Volga as a
means of causing rain. 1t seems to be
quite fixed belief among the Russian
peasantry that throwing the dead body
of drunkard into the river is sure
