OLD PEOPLES MATRON.
Mrs. Smith Receives Notice to Step
Down.

Down.
TIE desirability of retaining Mrs. Smith
in her position of matron of the Crocker
Old Peoples Home formed the chief topic
of discussion at the last meeting of the
Board of Lady Managers, and gave rise to
some very spirited argument. No direct
charges were. however. brought against
the matron.
Shortly after that meeting several of the
members of the board went to Mrs. Smith
and privately requested her resignation.
To this the matron replied that having
nothing to conceal, she cOurted an In
vestigation of her conduct in so far as it
related TO her duties as matron, and there
fore she would refuse the request.
This move having proved of no avail a
council of war was held, with the result
that letter was written to Mrs. Smith,
informing her that after November 1 next
her services would no longer be required
While it seems that a majority of the
board will vote to support this action,
there is strong minority which will make
& determined effort TO retain Mrs. Smith in
her position. To this end much lobbying
is being done In quiet way by the more
energetic members and close vote NAV
be expected. Even should Mrs. Smiths
opponents carry the day by a majority
vote their object will not be attained, as
the question will be raised whether the
matrOn can be discharged without cause
unless by two-thirds vote Of the entire
hoard.

THE OCEAN BOULEVARD.
A Complaint That 1t Is Being OBJ
SfruCfed

Mayor Ellert received communication
yesterday from the residents and prop
erty-owners in the neighborhood of the
Cliff House. complaining of the manner in
which the Olympic Salt Water Company is
constructing its pipes.
The communication sets forth that the
pier is so constructed that at certain
stages of the tide neither persons nor We
hicles can pass over or under it. 1t sug-
gests that the pier be built either eight
feet higher or eight feet lower. and calls
upon the Mayor to keep the great highway
free from obstruction. The signers to
this communication are Adolph Sutro and
about twenty other property-owners and
business men at the Ocean Beach.
When the Mayor read the communica-
tion be had Deputy uperintendent of
Streets Larry Welch visit the beach in or
der to investigate and make a report on
the matter.
The engineer of the company subse-
quently called on the Mayor and said the
obstruction complained of was merely ten-
porary. Mayor Ellert said he would see
that the great ocean boulevard was not OBJ
struct6d.

as to some of them.
We are highly in favor, Of all
classes OF people being reward
ed according to the labor per-
formed, and we are fully salts
fed that many preachers are
poorly paid, and most Of them
put their surplus, we mean
most of those who are so for
tunate, or unfortunate rs the
case may be, as to have a sur
plus, to some good use. But
when a preacher gets to laying
up treasure on earth he is draw
ing from the bank account
above, but not more SO than any
other man. No man is exeus-
able for laying up treasures up
on earth, for where the trsas-
ure is there will the heart be.
If the heart of the preacher is
conferred upon earthly goods ne
is losing sight of his mission
He cannot be a true man TO his
flock if he goes out to seek
wealth among them.
Many men, not preachers
alone, spend a life time in lay
ing something aside for future
use, and they lie down and die
and leave it for others to Law
over, and the result is neither
party gains any thing.
Existing circumstances make
it necessary for some preachers
to have more than others, but
in order to accomplish the
greatest good they must Al
some period in their lives un
dergo hardships in order thai
they may have the proper sym
pathy for those IN like circum-
stances. No parent knows how

Live Mastodons'

The Stricken Indians positively as.
sert that within the last five years they
have frequently seen animals which,
from the descriptions given, must have
been mastodons, says the Juneau Alaska
Free Press. Last spring, while out
hunting, one OF the Indian. came across
a series OF large tracks, each the size OF
the bottom of salt barrel, sunk deep IN
the moss. lie followed tn. curious trail
for some miles, finally coming out in full
view OF his game. As class these In
dians are the bravest OF hunters, but the
proDort;ons OF the new species OF game
filled the hunter with terror, aud he took
to swift and immediate fight. He dc
scribes the creature as being as large as
A post traders store, with great, shin
ing, yellowish-white tusKs, aud mouth
large enough to swallow man at a sim
Gle gulp. lie further says that the AMI
NAL was undoubtedly of the same species
as those whose bones and tusks lie all
over that section of the country.
The fact that other hunters have told
of seeing these monsters browsing on the
herbs up along the river gives a certain
probability to the story. Over on Forty
Mile Creek bones of mastodons are quite
plentiful. One ivory tusk nine feet long
projects from one of the sand dunes on
that creek, and single teeth have been
found so large that they would be a
GOOD load for one man to carry. be-
lieve that the mule. footed hog still ex-
lists; also that live mastodOns play tag
with the aurora every night over on
Forty- Mile Creek, in Alaska.
