A Golden Opportunity.

One of San Francisco's most progressive
business men is }. c. Spencer, who during
the past eight years has conducted general
millinery business at 1924 Market street.
The superior quality of his goods and the
excellent work Of his designers have built
up large and valuable busine IS connection
for Mr.. Spencer, whose customers have in
creased in number so rapidly that he has
been Obliged to enlarge his premises, the
former commodi0nS apartments having
proved inadequate TO accommodate bis
patrons and contain his immense stock.
He has accordingly leased two adjacent
stores, which will be opened ON Wednesday,
so that his establishment will Include
1924. 1925 and 1923 Market street, and also
the rooms ON the second floors.
Thirty employees are engaged in the main
store exclusively, besides those in the
branch stores at 9j3 Market street, at Oak
land and at San Jose. The trimming
rooms upstairs are conducted by the most
accomplished artists in the city, the head
mliliner being at present engaged in design
Ing pattern bats for the wholesale houses.
MI Spencer's establishment is known as
The Wonder Flower and Feather Store"
where he is now opening a large consign-
ment OF the latest spring styles In millinery
goods purchased In Paris and New York,
This is a golden opportunity for ladies to
procure hats and bonnets from an assort
ment never equaled in this city.

them. and he must have been thrown at
least once again or else dreadfully abused on
his way to the Pound from where he was
captured. 1t is therefore very strange that
society claiming to be the animals friend
should have men in their employ, men
either so cruel or SO inexperienced, as to

TO PAROLE PRISONERS.
The Bill introduced in the Senate
by McG0wan.

THE CALL yesterday, SIS one that if passed,
may be productive of great deal of good in
the matter of reforming those prisoners who,
having seen the error of their way. desire to
once more walk in the path chosen by those
who are upright in all their dealings"
1.-The BILL" asked the representative,
would establish sort OF ticket-of-leave
system, would it pot?"
well, yes, something of that sort. The
hill was drawn up by Mrs. Clara S.
FoltZ, who has devoted much time ana at
tention TO the unfortunate people, the wards
of the Sta,e, after a careful conside alton of
tue laws of the several States whose pris-
Oners are paroled. The main provision
OF the bill is that no prisoner can be paroled
until he has served the minimum term for
which lie might be sentenced, and then only
after the board which is to pass upon the
case shall become satisfied that his behavior
has been good in prison and he is sincere in
his desire to reform. When there is no
minimum term special provisions are IN ade,
as, for Instance, prisoner WHO is under life
sentence for murder must have served five
years before his application can he heard"
The result2 repeated the penologist,
The result, if the bill becomes a law. will
be to reform prisoners, give them an
opportunity. and to reduce the expense of
running our penal institutions. Under the
proposed law the prisoners paroled would
be under the control and supervision of the
boards, and may he returned to prison If
they violate the promises they may make,
or if they leave the State they are to be held
to be escapes, and if arrested shall be re-
turned to prison.
with regard to the Commissioners"
continued the penologist, care would have
to be taken that only men who have moth
ing in common with politicians or political
bosses should be chosen as Commissioners,
otherwise the boards might be turned into
a great political engine. 1t has been sug-
gested that one woman should be appointed
on each board. 1t is safe to say that at least
one-fourth of tie men now in the prisons
could safely be placed under parole. The
men would become good citizens and the
State would save great deal of money"

AFTER THE FIGHT.
Cash Refused on La Blanche Pool
Tickets.

The main topic in saloons and sporting
resorts yesterday was the La Blanche
Mitchell fight, and the general verdict was
that 1.-THE Marine should be shanghaied
on some whaling vessel and shipped to parts
unknown.
OF the many opinions expressed not SIN
gle man was seen by representative OF this
paper who had an unkind word for Young
Mitchell, who trained faithfully and gave
an excellent account of himself in every
round he encountered the shifty Marine.
The club will undoubtedly recompense the
young California middle-weight in a fair
way, should it decide tomorrow evening
that the contest was unsatisfactory to the
members and Directors.
This feeling expressed by the members,
with few exceptions, is bitter against La
Blanche, and some have said that they will
not remain in the California Club if that iu-
stituti0n will countenance such an exhibit
ton as the one given on Friday evening.
'Circumstantial evidence" remarked one
who witnessed the contest, would convict
La Blanche of throwing that fight in any

the hall who really believed that La Blanche
was knocked unconscious by the blow
which terminated the show. The Directors

the fact that, in case it fails to discover any
direct testimony that can establish fraud
against the defeated pugilist, it will take
into consideration the preDonderance of
opinions as have been freely expressed by
its representatives.
" Under the circumstances !, for one,
cannot understand how any honorable
sportsman could remain member OF an
institution that would encourage exhibitors
to draw or attempt to draw the wool over
the eyes of the members. If the Directors,
as l have previously stated, fail to gain any
proof that La Blanche fought to lose, they
should be guided by popular opinion and
decide the matter accordingly"

SHOT OVER CARDS.

A Drunken Quarrel Causes Fatal Fight
Among Army Men.
HoLBRooK (Ariz.). Feb. 21.-A shooting
affair occurred at Fort Apache to-day in
which Sergeant Richard Foster, H Troop,
Tenth Cavalry. was shot through the lungs
and MORALLY wounded by John Glass, chief
of the Indian scouts of Fort Apache. Both
men had heretofore been the best of friends.
The cause of the shooting was a drunken
squabble in game of cards. Glass was
discharged from the United States Army
few months ago to fill the position Of chief
of scouts, and is considered man of great
bravery, having had much experience in
dealing with the Indians. SIX weeks ago
he killed an Indian in self-defense, bile
endehyoring to perform necessary police
duty at the agency.

the signature torn off. The check was issued
by the San Luis Bank. The camp in the
woods is guarded. Four weeks ago three
persons, an old man, middle-aged man
and a little boy, were seen in the camp. The
general opinion is that buried treasure has
been unearthed and the stage-robbers were
so elated over the recovery that they quar-
relied among themselves and that murder
has probably been committed.
