readily reach cont1agrations. He also
made plea for the poor flremen, whom he
declared were the poorest paid of any in
the United States, although risling their
lives to save the homes and property of
others.
The matter of securing protection from
fire was disposed of by selecting Il commit
tee of twenty-five to appear before the
Supervisors Fire Committee to-day at 2
O'Clock and making a demand upon them
for instant relief. 1t was also thought ad-
visable to ask for the statlonlng of fire

some information regarding the Fell-street

secretary, the Property-owners' Protect
i've Association, had experts inspect the
workmanship, and had been informed BIZ
them that the sewer was the poorest piece
OF workmanship and sewer-huiding ever
perpetrated upon the San Francisco prop
erty-Owners. He further said that the:con-
tractors were bringing suit against the
poorer taxpayers and eudeavoring in this
manner to brighten the majority into pay

been published calling upon all those who
have not paid not 10 do So. as the associa-

Western Addition Citizens in Fear
of Fire.

Franks Hall was crowded last night
with Western Addition taxpayers, who as
sembled TO take steps to secure much
needed protection from fire. c. E. Dun
shee was chosen to preside.
John p. Dalton told how for years the
Supervisors had promised TO give the
Western Addition fire extinguishing facli-
ties, and instead had sEamefully violated
every pledge given until now when the
numerous serious conf1agrations compel
the city fathers to look after the safety of
the inhabitants and property Of the entire

Com mittee of the Board of Supervisors.
The feelings 10 the matter of the Super
yisors, with the single exception of Mr..
Denman, are willing to grant Immediately
protection and locate apparatus through
out the unprotected districts.
DR.. c. D. SaIfield assured the citizens OF
the sympathy and aid OF Chief Engineer
Sullivan, who is doing all he POSSIBLY can
in the matter of having fire apparatus
given the Western Addition. The speaker
thought that at least three fire engine
companies would be required in the neigh
bothood. one at Oak. near Broderick, one
at Waller and Fillmore, and the third at
Sunset Heights, where large amount of
building is going on. Il am in favor"

The Viticuitural Board Sips Vintages,

The annual meeting of the executive
committee OF the Board of State Viticul-
tural Commissioners was held yesterday
at the boardrooms on Pine street. Clarence

An adjournment was then made to the
viticultural cafe for the purpose of enter

yards. South Australia, who represents the
horticultural and viticultural interests of
his colony.
Mr. Smith presented samples of some of
the best wines produced in South Austria
liza to the board, which were opened and
freely compared with some OF the best of
the California light wines.
Those of the Australian brand which
called forth particular praise were an
elegant light ReisliDg. as Arpad HaraSZthy
described it; very fine port wine, which
by the way the makers describe as Con
stancia," and q sherry.
The ChabiiS was declared to be no
Chablis at all, and the claret eviden tly

special point noticed by the board
with regard to the sherry and Resisting
was the peculiarly pleasant acidity, the
acid being rather bi-tartrate than tariaric
The port was commented on freely and
it compared favorablv with our California
product. This wine has for years held
the highest position as a first-class Aus
tralian port.
The samples on the whole were good
and compare not unfavorably with Cali
fornla wines. OF course these were sam
pies of the best selected wines produced in
Australia, while the Californian were or
binary samples selected at random.
Mr. Smith Is an honorary commissioner
appointed by the South Australian Gov

orders to remain here until the fruit sea-

KIPLINGs "BaTrack Ballads"
One Of Rudyard Kipllng's Irish soldier
boys from the hills OF India is a guest at
the Palace Hotel.
He is DR.. F. r. O'Kearny. surgeon-ma jor
in the British army in India, and lives
with his wife in bungalow at the garr-
son station of Mahableshwar. He is en-
route to his home in Ireland on fur

life as soldier lin the hills"
Major O'Kearny claims distant relation
ship to General Kearny, and possibly 10
Denis, and since his arrival here has spent
all of his leisure moments promenading
Kearny street. The major comes from a
distinguished old Irish family, his grand

Pariam emf.
Mahableshwar is the military post where
the Duke Of Connaught and the Duchess
resided while the Duke was commanding
the British forces in Bombay. 1t is 5000
feet above the sea. has q native population
of 1000, and 1t rains there as many Inches

porter what he knew about the hill
country and the manner in which kipling
is appreciated by the soldiers at the garrl-

"Kipling is the soldiers friend in every
sense OF the word" said DR.. O'Kearny.
HE has lived in the hills with us, studied
his characters we'll and his work is quite
10 the life. All Of the soldiers read Kir-
ling, and his 'Barrack-room Ballads one
of his latest books. is having a great sale
among the Engishmen AND Irishmen in
India. All of his descriptions and word
paintings of the hill country are true 10
life and very accurate"
Major O'Kearny had thrilling experi-
ences as surgeon in the Afghan war of
1879. He was drafted with his regiment to
kandahar, and the sudden change of eli
mate played havoc with officers and men,
who succumbed rapidly at Bolau Pass
The major himself was taken i'll, and later
his QUINN was cut 10 pieces by the Afghan
warriors.

could be worked together TO keep these

the western line in Beloochistan, and on
the east there are Burmah, Siam and
China, already under British control. No,
we will have no more bioodshed in the
hills except now and then a skirmish
with small bands of unruIy natives"

THE RELIEF FUND.

The generous cffer OF the managers of
the Grove-street Theater to give the entire
receipts of special matinee performance

of the three firemen killed at the fire on
Ashbury Heights has met with general

the brave 1remen who met such a tragic
death in the great Page-Street fire.
NO restrictions are put upon the use Of
the money, the Mayor being given discre-
ton to use il as lie sees fit. A suggestion
IS made, however, that the Mayor make
the $500 the nucleus of fund to be added
to by other organizations so that some last
ing and permanent benefit may accrue to
the surviving widows and orphans of the
Dreadwinners who went to their death
while doing their duty.

The air was filled with the sweet war
bles of score of japanese canaries at the
Southern station last evening, and the
solemn-like aspect of a prison seemed
chenrcd for the moment as their silvery
notes resounded through the dark, cold
cells. The poor little things had done
nothing to be thus incarcerated. but the
drunken sailor who had imported them
was sleeping off the effects Uf an extensive
spree. At least dozen cages were hung
about the main Office awaiting their

Offenbach's MADAME Favart'' was the
attraction at the Tivoli. The leading
feature in the performance of this opera
was the manner in which Ferris Hartman
presented the character of the Marquis de
Pontsable, the old gallant. in love with
Justine Favart, the actress. The scene
in which he is devUting himself to
her, and places the cook on watch
with bell to warn him of the ap-
proach of Favarts husband. was
good piece of work and altogether
laughable. The comic idea is enhanced by
the fact that the cook. an innkeeper, hap
pens to be Favart's husband; of this Pont-
sable is unaware. Hartman's makeup aud
action had touches IF Felix Morris so far
as nicely of detail is concerned. Miss Fam
ME Liddard looked Charming as Justine
Favart, and Miss Title Salinger as Susan

which she sang in her usual ytvaciouS way.
