The Ob-. VIII Have Their Assess
ments Modified.
NJ. Sicily. Superintendent OF the North
Beach and Mission Railroad appeared be-
fore the Street Committee Of the Board of
Supervisors yesterday, followed by a long
train Of FolSOm-street property in
support of a petition for the right to run
that railrOod by electricity.
He urged that the company is ready to 60
on with the work, and That the change
would cost 100000. which would all be
spent in San Francisco. At present. lie
said, the competition is so great and sue
cessiul that the road is losing money and
must continue to do so unless its equip
mfnts are improved
The property who supported him
represented $4,000 feet frontage, aud the
committee took the matter under consider
alton for one week.
Another hearing was given to the prop
erty-owners on Bernal Heights. who object
TO the assessments levied by the Howard
street Extension Commissioners Only a
few presented themselves, but they spoke
for ali similarly situated. The points urged
by them made deep impression on the
committee and will doubtlessly result in the
desired correction.
One objector owned four lots four blocks
away from the Improvement. In that same

property is assessed nearly $50 lot, while
the Chiefs, less than one-third as far away.
is assessed only sos a lot. He declared
the discrepancy a wanton disregard of
justice, aud challenged the expert to excuse
It.
Another owner, who said he was glad of
the improvement, but wanted to see it done
fairly, showed the committee that he was
assessed SO q lot more than his adjoining
neighborS, who are nearer the improvement
than he and more benefited by it. MAKE
it clear TO me, gentlemen he said, that
that kind of an assessment is just and | will
pay it without murmur, although my dol
lars come dear to me-"
The Commissioner appraiser tried to re-
ply, and Chairman Taber was finally ap-
pointed to go over the assessments again and
equalize the blunders exposed by these OBJ
jections. He will attend to it to-day and
desires to meet all Directors

HIRAM A. PEARSONs, Will.
Mrs. Isabella Kinsey VIII Come In for
III.

Mrs. Isabella Kinsey Will Come In for a
City Front Block.
The will of Hiram A. Pearsons, the young
capitalist drowned at Chicago two years
ago, has been the subject of legal wrangle
for some time before Judge Coffey, who
handed down a lengthy decision in the
matter yesterday. The bone of contention
was between the aunts, Betsey Frances
Mathewson and Polly Barton, and legatee
named Mrs Isabella Kinsry. regarding a
division of real estate. Both sides claimed
a valuable block of city-frOnt property,
bounded by Clay, Drumm, Merchant and
East streets, and as the language of the will
was rather vague it required a great deal
of time and testimony to settle the matter.
In the decision Judge Coffey held that the
lot was a specific beqnest to Mrs. Kinsey.

MRS. POTTER PALMER's ADDRESS.

She Speaks of the Great Work That
Women Have Undertaken.
A careful reading of Mrs. Potter Palmer's
address before the Worlds Fair Press
League, published in the News few days
ago. will give an idea of the great work
that is contemplated under the direction of
the Worlds Fair Board of Lady Managers.
Nothing to compare with it was ever before
undertaken by women, and if carried to a
successful completion it will afford a con-
elusive answer to all questions in regard to
Their executive ability. their capacity for
management and all the old stock of argu-
ments against extending their sphere OF
action. The WOman's Building, erected at
a cost of 100000, is now being plastered
The architect was a woman and the stat
uary ami Interior decorations VIII be Sc
lected from designs submitted by women.
No articles will be placed here which are
competing for a prize, but there will be a
number Of exhibits MA lie by request be-
cause of their especial excellence, and these
sill be grouped in the great central gal
lery. which is to reach from the ground to
the dome.
Committees of women will be formed in
all countries for the purpose OF securing
representative International exhibit OF w0-
mans achievements. There will be libra
~ filed with books written by womea, the
finest specimens of manual labor, an expo
sitjon of the kindergarten system. model
hospital methods. novel object lessons in the
charitable and refoTmatOry work conducted
by women, practical demonstrations in the
science of cookery. In the large halls and
spacious p1rlors will be held congresses and
conventions, lectures concerts, etc, while
the ornamental gardens upon the roof Will
offer reStfu retreat. 1t will be the head
quarters for the women of this and other
countries, a place for social and business
meetings, a sort of center where all may
teel at home. The decision was a wise one
to place women's work in the general ex-
hlbIt. They are competing not with each
other entirely, but with men also. Their
productions should stand alone upon their
merits, and prizes should be awarded with
out distinction of sex. Arrangements should
be made, however, 10 d stinguish the eXhib-
its which are in part or wholly the work Of
women, so that the proportion and the quail
ity of their work may be ascertalned.-lndi-

of the department, in such cases, to an
nounce the proposed choice of lot to the
public several months in advance, i'll order
that the said lot may be considered can
vassed fully, and views exchanged with the
Government before final acceptance. In
this case the department q use the Secre-
tary's words understood from inquiries that
