the steamer locked he and his family we're
driven to the Oakland ferry, where they took
passage across the bay and proceeded TO the
residence Of Mr.. and Mrs. James Canning,
954 Sixteenth street.
Mr.. Davitt. owing to the excitement fol
lowing the Parnell-Shea exposure and the
spltin the National ranks, feels far from well,
and looks haggard and worn. He has come
to build up his strength W tn the aid of the
glorious climate OF California, and proposes
spending a tweJvemonth on the Coast,
unless duty to his country calls him home
before that.
Michael DaYitt was born in County Mayo,
in the extreme west of Ireland, in 1886.
His parents were of the peasant farming
class. When he was little more than a year
old, the family suffered all the terrOrs of
eviction, which resulted in the death Of the
father and provider. Mrs. Davitt and her
children subsequently went to England,
where the future leader of his cOuntTymen
struggled with adversely for good twenty
years
In his boyhood Young Davitt was called
upon at d very tender age to contribute to
his own and his family's support and while
engaged in factory met with the accident
which deprived him Of his right arm. In
1870 be was first brought into prominence
through his connection with Fenianism,
and his arrest in London on q charge of
treason-feony. The particular crime al
legged against him was that of completely in
furnishing his feil0w-cOnsplTatOTs in Lon
don with arms. The jury did not take long
10 fiEd him guilty, and few days after his
arrest the special commission before which
he was tried sentenced him to fifteen years,
penal seTYitude
After serving a little over half his. term
In the Portland prison, where he was SUBJ
Jected to all the ndignItes of a common
felOn. lie was released on ticket-of-leaYe.
During his incarceration he laid the plan of
the Land League. and no sooner was he
outside Of his prison doors than he began to
educate the people up to the movement,
which spread with lightning-l like rapidity
through the land OF his birth, from the
very moment of its organization in 1879.
For his share in this work he was twice
Imprisoned during the Gladstone Premier
ship, first for eighteen months and the see
ond time for four months. He was elected
to Parliament from County Meath, while
serving the eighteen months term, but by
decision Of tile Commons his election was
annulled.
About five years ago Mr. Davitt won the
hand and heart of Miss Mary YOel, niece of
Mrs. James Canning, wife of the we'll
known Oakland capitalist. The wedding
took place at the Canning residence, corner
of Sixteenth and Myrtle streets, and was
quite n brilliant event. The happy couple
started Immediately for Ireland and settled
down to domestic cares in picturesque cot
tage overlooking the beautiful bay of Dub
lin, at Bally brack. Since then two olive
branches have been added to the family

Cemetery Protective Association held last
evening at The Office of A. d. Spliyalo in the
Montgomery Block, at which the following
organizations were represented: ConGrega-
ton Beth Israel, Congregation Ihar Zedek,
German Benevolent Society, Russian Greek,
Scandinavian, Ladies Seaman, Old Friends,
Italian Benevolent Society, French Benevo-
lent Society, Red Men, Knights of Pythias,

A communication was read from Colonel
G. Ii. Mendell of the United States Engineer
Corps in answer TO query from the society
as to the course of the Government in the
matter of eOndemning the City Cemetery
for defensive purposes.
The reply from Colonel Mendell states
that the Government will proceed TO con-
denim not only the fifty acres originally de-
sired for Notifications, but the whole ract
of 200 acres.
Charles Cough of the Society of Old
Friends argued against the condemnation of
land for which the Government had nc use.
Eat first" said he, they wanted fifty acres
Now they have concluded TO take the whole
piece. To what is this change due? We
know and are not afraid to say. Several
capitalists have entered into combination
TO take the whole tract and turn it over to
the Government, saying to its representa-
tives the whole will cost no more than a
part"
Dir. Cough was followed by several other
speakers, who agreed that the proposition
was unjust and that the Government at
Washington was not acquainted with the
true state of affairs before giving the order
to condemn.
Upon motion A. d. Splivalo was instructed
to address a communication to the Secretary
of War, informing him Of the situation The
following committee was appointed to form
ulate methods Of procedure to be followed
in future action: 5. Pollock, W. b. Ever,

STATIONERY

Reviewing briefly the reasons given in the
report for the changes and reductions, it
says, IN relation 10 stationery for municipal
Offices: 4Ihe estimate of So, 600 was re-
duced TO SIS, 900, decrease Of 5000 from
the appropriation for the last fiscal year.
in this connection it appears to be a prac-
tee (Which was believed 10 be character
istIc only Of a retiring State Legislature)
upon tie retiring officers Of an adminstra-
ton vacating their offices for their success
sOrs, that all articles of stationery Of what
ever nature or kind disappear and this is
evidenced from the supplies of stationery
required By the incoming officers. In adj
dltioD, there appears to be a perfect rest
lessness in acquisitions and demands for
stationery wholly irreconcileable with the
actual wants: extravaganza and careless
ness are the only reasons for the enormous
supplies demanded.
Your committee are Of opinion that the
sum Of S12j00 is more than adequate 10 sup
ply the various departments with all the
required stationery, and in that view recon-
mend that the Committee on Printing and
Salaries be instructed to devise ana enforce
some method by which the expenditure
from this fund can be controlled and the
supplies furnished and their disposition ac-
counted for from time 10 time"

The appropriation for completing the
Channel-street sewer, in Brannan street,
from Fourth to Potrero avenue, has become
an indispensable precaution to afford an
outlet for a very large district.
The failure to complete this sewer, after
an expenditure Of about $3.50, 600 in the pur-
chase of land and the construction of the
sewer in Channel street, from Ninth to
Eighteenth, and in Brannan street. from
Fourth 10 First, is unaccOuntable.
The sweeping of the streets invites close
attention. The large monthly demands, If
the work is well done. ought certainly to
suffice to clean and keep clean all the paved
streets Ia the city.
The power of appointing inspectors to
supervise all work done on the streets,
whether under public or private contract,
at the expense of the property-Owners. also
demands close scrutiny, and the appointment
Of reliable and intelligent men, who under
stand imething about the character of the
material to be used and the work to be done,
is imperative. These and other public posi-
tons are not created, and should not be used,
solely for personal or political reasons
The appropriation for street lights is
S275, 600, an in rease of $4,000 over last
