CHEVAILLIER ON DECK.
She Is Back i'm Boston Preparing to
Start a Magazine.

Start Magazine.
Miss A. A. Chevaillier, the brilliant and
intense young reformer, lecturer, writer,
Christian scientist, mystic and general
hustler for the advancement OF the world,
Is again settled in her home in Boston,
where she is widely known and has many
distinguished friends.
She will be remem bered out here mainly
for the lively war she waged year or so
ago ON Thomas Lake Harris. the Mystic,
after she had entered his strange community
at Fountain Grove, Sonoma County. and
had learned OF the secret aud moral slavery
that the pro Dhet carried on there under the
gulse OF his strange religion.
Her revelations and attacks through the
press and from the lecture platform re-
suited in Harris legally marrying his
queen, Miss Waring, and 1t appeared to
have also driven Harris away from his
California retreat for at about that time he
lett and has not returned since. Ii Is
learned that be is now living in tat in
New York, from where he is still directing
and sustaining his remaining faithful In this
country and in Great Britain. Miss Che
WALLER succeeded in convincing MANY in-
tellectuaI people in California, the East
and in Europe that Harris was sensual
old fraud instead of the great and pure man
they had so admired.
Miss Cheyaillier is now preparing to
launch new magazine to take the place of
the International Magazine of Truth, which
died year or so ago. II she has good luck
she will s0oD send forth into the world every
month The Comforter, the primary object

and the development and utilization OF
sources for the supply demanded is certainly
surprising when it is taken into consider
alton that private corporation has had the
ownership and management OF all the
sources and storage reservoirs for rainfall
on this peninsula. and has acquired prop
erty elsewhere to provide for increased
demands or to prevent competition.
This appears to be somewhat singular
condition that city like San Francisco,
with population OF about 40,0O0 should
be dependent for its water supply upon
private corporation.
The object of the municipality should be
to own lis water supply and to that end TO
condemn and acquire the present system, if
deemed adequate for the present and future
wants, or obtain other sources and supply
wholly within our control. This must
eventually be done.
The New City Hall.
While the subject of the care of the new
City Hall building is scarcely one OF such
import as to have your attention called to
it, yet its condition for years has been such
as to demand some change SO that its APP
pearance may be in keeping with the char
acter of the building and its equipment.
While small army of janitors is en-
ployed for this service the duties are not
performed with any proper systematic care
and attention. The interior of the build
ing, halls, corridors, stairways and windows
are and have been In discreditable and
uncleanly condition these with the Ooms
aud offices should not alone be clean, but
be kept clean at all times and this duty
should be executed by the persons who are
employed for this purpose.
The practice of eXacting only few hours
labor each day from majority of the jani-
tors. as has been the custom for years, IL
permitted to continue will not result in ae-
cOmplshiDg the work for which payment is
made.
General Remarks.
In calling your attention to the various
matters referred to, 1t is the purpose to
show that the functions of our municipal
governmentare and have not been exercised
to bring about harmonious aud effective
action. and that much depends upon the
labOrs of your honorable board and the
executive officer to supervise and see that
the municipality perform their duties and
obligations and that the laws are enforced.
With the confidence imposed In the per-
sOpal character and high standing Of the
members of your honorable body, it Is safe
to anticipate careful and thorough per-
Torrance OF the many varied obligations
devolvlng upon you. to the credit OF your
administration and to the party OF whom
you were the nominees. and as noQuesti0ns,
except probably appointments, involve
political or partisan considerations, We are
here to-day. on the outset of our official
career. to commence our term Of Office with
no motive other than 10 protect and pre-
serve the rights and best interests of the
city.

SUPERVISORS RETIRE.
The Old Board Makes No Further Effort
to Override the Mayors
XefOeS

Next to the room where the Election
Commissioners met yesterday morning the
chambers of the Board Of Supervisors was
the focal point of interest.
Clerk RusselPs Office adjoining was
thronged inside and outside the counter with
officials de facto, officials de jure, their van
ishing and Undertaking. satellites. and the
regular contingent of interested spectators.
Everybody seemed TO be looking for SEN
sational developments, but the knowing
ones whispered that the retiring Supervisors
had abandoned all further hope of carrying
out their scheme of passing over Mayor
Sanderson's veto the electrical conduit and
street railway franchises. and would grace
fully retire from the conflict.
The sequel showed that the kn owing ones
knew.
At 10 A. NJ. Clerk Russell called the
Board Of Supervisors to order, whereupon
Supervisor Burling took the chair.
Before the reading of the minutes was
finished Mayor Sanderson relieved Mr..
! BurIing of the gavel, and Supervisors Ellert
and Heyer also took their seats and all the
retiring members were then present.
Very tame and brief we're the subsequent
proceedings.
The clerk then read the orders for the
various vetoed franchises.
AS each one came up Mr.. Taber rose and
moved that further action upon 1t be post
pOned for four weeks.
The rollcall disclosed a degree of una
nimity rarely exhibited by the members Of
the board.
Every vote was recorded In favor of the
motion.
The franchises in evidence and those laid
over were those of the Municipal Conduit
Company, the San Francisco and West
Shore Railway Company and the street
railway proposition fathered by Henry c.
Fowler, Louis f. Dunand and others.
There was no further unfinished business.
Mr.. Taber moved that the clerk of the
board be instructed to request the Election
Commissioners TO issue the certificates TO
the Supervis0rs-elee immed ately. so that
they could take their seats at O'clock.
This motion was also unan imously adopt
ed, and an adjournment was had to that

principal In our public schools. her conscientious
and faithful discharge of her duties, her untiring

form courtesy TO all connected with the School

ceves, the fullest commentator and sincere
thanks of this board.

LOOKING FOR PLACES.
Many Came and fingered Fondly on
the Threshold, but Few of Them
Were Chosen.

An unusually large crowd fingered on the
southern front Of the City Hall from an
early hour until the sun went down. They
gathered near the various entrances like
flies about sugar bowl on June day.
They were men Of all ages and Of all
social grades and were only alike in the
anxious look they wore. They appeared
like men who were every moment expect
ing an invitation to enter and appease
hunger to which they had long become en-
ured. but fearing they were to be dIsap-
pointed.

outside, only exhibiting an air of greater

them did not know whether they were
actually in or not, and some Of them found
that promises and pie-crust putty and
pumpkins" all 90 together.
OF course the newly elected heads OF de-
partments were cheerful when they heard
that the Election Commission had agreed to
make DO fuss about the matter OF Issuing
their certificates. but those who thought
they we're to be their under-studIes were
little nervous. Many of these latter left the
hall in bad state of disgust late in the
afternoon, when they found they were not
to get the coveted positions which they had
been promised during electioneering times
The old Board of Supervisors went out
and the new one went in. Mayor Ebert
made fine inaugural address.
A few of the old heads of departments
retired, but others thought it well to hold
on another day or two.
The old School Directors will give up the
ghost to-day.
Fl. Fl. Scott is satisfied that John j. Nc
