high School are 10 take place, and the mem
berS OF the school are DESTROYS OF conducting
the affair in the Rssembly-rOom of the large
structure. But these apartments, 50 the
girls saw, are not in fit condition for such
exercises. and they have appealed to Prin-
cipal Brooks for aid TO put the rooms in
proper condition.
Thus far they have met with but little en-
enlargement, as Principal Brooks reply
was there were no funds at the disposal of
the Board OF Supervisors or Board of Educa-
tion for such purposes. Then followed the
pOutIng and the wailing,
The assembly hall of the school is situated
on the fourth floor of the building, and has
never been in the hands of the painter. In
fact, il has received but small notice from
the carpenter The walls are bare and un-
plastered, and show. the rough brick. Boards
loosely thrown over the joists answer for a
floor, and the rafterS are yisible-as in a
garnet in an unfinished house.
II don't care" said one flaxen- haired
maiden, who looked as if she had iust ar
rived from good crying spell.
Il think IL is just too horrible for any
thing. Here we have been hoping for

Justice Gray Eyicted.

1t is not often that the administrators of
the law get taste Of its bitterness, but JUS
tice Gray has learned that there is a power
behind the throne in his case and he is not
feeling good over it.
For some time Presiding Justice Barry
has been seeking to occupy Gray's rooms
assigned him by the City Hall Commission
ers. Gray refused to get out and Barry
could not get in.
As an assertion Of rights the City Hall
Commissioners instructed locksnith to
take the locks off GraY's doors, replace them
with new ones and hand the keys Of these
to Justice Barry.
Gray IS locked out of his own rooms. II is
understood that Mayor Ebert will try to find
him quarters, but Mr.. Gray's feelings are
not TO be expressed in words at the present
time

CARE OF THE DEAD.
Undertakers Will Now Be
Licensed.
Contagious Diseases Will Receive a
Check and the Dead Will Be
Decentiy Buried.

The act establishing State Board of
Funeral Directors having become a law,
local undertakers are now making the
necessary preparations to fulfill the terms
prescribed in the bin. The act creates a
State Board of Funeral Directors, who are
to be appointed by the Governor. Il pre-
scribes its powers and duties and regulates
the practice Of undertaking in towns and
cities having 4 population of 5000 inhab-
tants or more. The act is aimed particu-
larry at the prevention Of the spread of con-
tagious diseases, inasmuch as it partcu-
larry stpulaies that it shall be the duty of
every funeral director TO thoroughly disin-
feet the body of a deceased person whose
death has resulted from any contagious
disease and the apartment in which said
death has occurred without cost or compen-
sation, and within four hours after the
time of notification of the death of the per-
son so affected. The Health Officer must
also be notified at once.
"This enactment will aid in preventing
the spread OF diphtheria and kindred dis
eases prevalent here 10 such an extent
among the school children" said proni-
nent unfertaker, "as many cases are left
neglect ed until at times whole neighbour
hoods become infected"

OF undertaking or caring for and preparing

six months, firms not registered within that
time being subject to the penalty of the
act. e., guilty of misdemeauor punish
able by fine of not less than $50 nor more
than 500.
Another clause of :he bill provides that
the funeral directors shall not be in any
way Interested in the business of undertake
ing. member of one of the local firms
when asked as TO the general opinion of
those concerned replied that all seemed to
be much in favor of the law.
The bill was originally aimed at the
scourge Of cholera, in the expectation that
it would visit America this year, but the
many other contagious diseases prevalent
here. the shipsh0d manner in which under
takers handle the remains of those con-
signed to their care, and the poor and in
sufficient methods employed by some firms
in the embalming Of the dead led to the re-
vision of the original bill. and the substitu-
ton OF the present one. The act will pre-
vent many who are entirely untitled for the
performance of the duties required OF an
undertaken from obtaining employment
with registered firms"

ASHBURY HEIGHTS SAFE.
The District VIII Have Fire Plug and
Hose Reel.

Supervisors Montgomery, Day and Good
win of the Fire Committee met yesterday
and granted number of recommendations
for permits to alter premises.
A communication was read from the Fire
Wardens, requesting the board TO draft and
adopt an order governing the erection of
buildings in the city. 1t was pointed out
that the present order does not govern the
erection of the class OF buildings now being
erected, and that in many instances the
provisions are vague and conflicting. II is
urged that considerable trouble has been
thereby caused TO owners and builders. and
much annoyance to the Board OF Fire War
dens.
The committee recommended the appoint
ment of +. Shay, architect to prepare an
ordinance to regulate the construction of
buildings in the city and county, at COM
pensation of $1,000. on confirmation of the
order by the Board of Supervisors.
A petition of pToperty-Owners WAS read,
requesting the establishment of an engine
company for the protection of life and prop
erty in the district south of Golden Gate
avenue, on Ashbury Heights.
The board resolved to put in fire plug
and hose reel and enough hose to enable
the department to reach the buildings that
would be involved in case of fire.
Permission was granted the San Francisco
Tage5latt Publishing Company to put in a
gas engine for the purpose OF running a
printing press.

SCHOLARS OBJECT.
Dissatisfaction in the Girls
High School.
SMILES THAT ARE LOST.
Principal Brooks and His Pupils at Log
gerIIeads Regarding the Assem-
bly, Hall of the School.

The pretty lips of the students of the
Girls High School on Geary and Scott
streets have lost their perennial smiles,
their foreheads are constantly knitted, and
the look of suave eomplacence heretofore
always depleted on their sweet faces has
altered to one of much worry and sorrow.
The cause of all this change has been told
by many mouths, and not one but many
visitors to this institution have listened to
their tale of woe.
Friends are told in the most upheard of
supeTlatives that the nastiest, meanest,
most shameful and selfish corporate body
in the world is the present Board Of Super
visors.
They alone do not receive all the abuse,
but the officials of the Board of Education,
principal of the school ahd others are given
their need OF criticism
The cause of this storm is easily told.

the foundation to the approach of the new
ferry depot, the secretary read an opinion
from the boards attorney, f. S. Stratton,
to the effect that the board need not accept
the bid of that firm. as they distinctly stated
in their advertisements for bids that they
reserved the right to reject any or all bids
received
To the request from the same firm that
the specifications be modified and the job
then be turned over to them, the attorney
renders his otinion that the board cannot
do anything of the kind, as the statute
under which they act requires that the bids
must be acceDted or rejected On the same
day as opened, and the only course left to
the Commissioners is 10 change the specif-
cations and readyertse for bids.
a resolution was then adopted providing
that the resolution of the board passed
February 9 adopting the plans and specifica-
tiOns prepared by Mr.. a. Page Brown for
building the foundation Of the approach to
the ferry slips on the water front of the
city and county Of San Francisco be re-
sciuded.
The old SecoDd-street ferry slip with the
exception of the CONFERENCE.-The was sold
TO Healy, Tibbetts & Co. for $1,000.

A FOOLISH OLD MAN.
Fun on Quincy Street That Cost
Nearly a Thousand.

Fun on Quincy Street That Cost
Nearly a Thousand.
The old saying that fool and his money
are soon parted has been exemplified in the
case of Andreas Seer, recent arrival from
Daggett, San Bernardino County. He Is
over 90 years OF age. and while taking in the
sights of the city met Marie La Fleur Of IS
Quincy street. He accompanied her to her
'crib" and spent about $3.50 in wine and
presents of dresses and other things. he
then went to the bank and drew out 700.
with which he returned to Quincy street.
After drinking more wine he became
stupidity intoxicated, and when he came to
his senses all his money was gone. He de-
manded it back, but Marie refused TO ac-
cOmmodate him, and yesterday morning he
swOre out a warrant for the woman's arrest
on the charge of grand larceny.
The warrant was placed in the hands OF
Detective Anthony, who arrested the
woman, and upon searching the house found
$3.50 of the stolen money.
Marie was locked up in the City Prison
and denied having stolen the money, as
sertng that Seer gave it to her as gift.

They Must Paw tI1e Tax.

A few months ago the exporters of wines
liquors and cigars to Central America and
Mexican ports. were informed by the In
ternal Revenue Department that they must
pay for the privilege of doing so at the same
rate as wholesale liquor-dealer would pay
in the same case.
The dealers objected to paying the tax
and appealed to the authorities at WASH
ington. At that place the decision Of the
Pacific Department was affirmed and the
wine men are paying the tax.
