THE SCHOOL FUMIGATED.
Action of the Health Officer at the
Valencia Grammar School.


The children attending the Valencia
street Grammar School were all dismissed
at O'Clock yesterday afternoon. En-
pl0yeS of the Health Office then took pos
session OF the building and fumigated the
nineteen classro0ms, and, closing ali the
doors and windows, ordered them to be
kept closed until 6 O'Clock this morning.
DIR. Keeney's reason for the action was the
fact that the boy, Willie Remensberger,
living at 1894 Howard street, who is down
with the smallpox, was attending the Va
leneia-StTeet school before he was stricken.
Besides Willie, two OF his brothers are
afflicted with the sans disease. Willie, who
is IA years of age. and Henry, aged Z. have
it in a mid form because both had been
vaccinated. George, aged years, has the
smallpox in a continent firm, and it is
feared he will die in consequence. He was
never vaccinated. The house, 1894 Howard
street. is closely quarantlned.
DR.. keeney Will send q recommendation
to the Board of Health tomorrow evening
advising that it take steps to urge the Board
of Education to provide at least twice a
year for the thorough fumigation of every
schoolh0nse in the city. He says this ought
10 be done as a sanitary precautioh. and at
the expense OF the Board of Education.
These possible ceHters OF infection and
eOntagiOn ought to be periodically fumi-
gated as a preventive measure against the
spread OF not only smallpox but scarlet
fever and diphthera.
Over 200 children and adults presented
themselves for vaccination at the Health
Office Yesterday.

the contract have been more than
met. The Government Will not accept
a vessel not up to the specifica-
tons. The builders know this aud
are accordingly prepared for it. as an IL
iustration in point, take the case of the Ve-
suvius. The contract called for $500 horse
power, and she would have to develop a
speed Of twenty knots. In the official trial
this vessel actually developed 400 horse
power and attained speed of twenty-oDe
and six,y-four nundredths knots from a
measured four-mle course; of course, as
the result, earning for her builder large
premium. The case of the Blake, English
butt. whose contract called for 20,G00horse-
power. lily compares with this showing.
The best efforts of her engineers and build
ers could only bring out a little over IL, 900,
aud under this tremendous strain her boil
ers went to pieces. The same statement is
true, although in worse degree, of the fall
ure of her sister shin. the Blen helm p

WOMEN VIOLINISTS.
AS Soloists They Are More Numerous
Than Men in This Country.

Of LouiS IOst-DfSpatcn.
A peculiar sympathy seems to exists be-
tween woman and violin. Both are
dainty, sweet and soul-inspiring, and both
appeal strongly to our sense Of the beautiful
Yet it is very possible that the enjoyment
they afford us is chiefly spectacular, for
woman, as performer upon the instrument
may never hope to compete with man.
There are many who will disagree with this
statement. but its truth may be- proved
without much difficulty. The violin Is essen
TALLY masculine instrument. To be played
properly 1t requires mans vlg0r, force and
grace. In the overcoming of the mere
technical difficulties, which are met with
in every branch OF musical art. the man is
not much. If at all, superior. In fact
women, especially American women, have
displayed in the matter OF viOlin-playing an
amazing earnestness in mastering details, a
feat which is not generally accomplished bv
them in other walks of life, if common re-
port is to be believed. But In the more
serious part of vi0lln-playiDg, in a careful
study of both master ard manner, the male
sex may fairly be said to be ahead.
1t is the more surprising under these cir
cumstances then to find that out of the
total number of violin soloists native to the
country the great majority are women. The
reason for this, however, is not hard to find
America is well stocked each year with the
ing leaves nothing to be desired aud into
competition with whom no local artist
would be so foolish as to enter, considering
how ready we are TO bestOw our affection ON
visitors from abroad. On the other hand
the American young woman finds a fruitful
field for her labors in this country. She is
enabled to take advantage. among other
things of the isn't she lovely" sentiment,
which privilege Is denied to man.
Moreover. the American man yiolinist pre-
fers TO devote his attention TO orchestral
playing and teaching, rather than to travel
ing about under the guSe OF a S0Ost. In
this he shows good sense and also true
devotion to his art. The best, the most
the orchestra. There individuality is en-
tirely suppressed. and the player, whose
mind is thus diverted from himself, Is able
to devote it to full conception of his work.
The so0st, on the other hand, subjects
everything to himself. He is the inter-
prefer, the one upon whom alone rests the
success or failure OF the performances, and
he may properly employ any conventional
device at his command 10 increase the
pleasure of his hearers. He may be both
artistic and artificial.
American young women began the Gus
tom of going to Europe TO study the violin
about thirty years ago. OF late the number
who are annually q aduated from the con-
servatol les at Paris, Berlin, Leipsig and
Brussels has greatly increased, aud it is also
remarkable that the quality has kept pace
with the quantity, as result OF c0mpeti-
ton. There are at present qulteza host of
these young women in the United States
who have come 10 their native land to reap
some Of the benefit which years OF hard,
steady devotion have entitled them 10.

Our MaIigned NAVY.

Colonel A. G. Feather, in the new Phila-
delphia magazine, Blue and Gray, makes
this somewhat surprising comparison be-
tween our new ships and those being built
by other countries:
There is little doubt that the American
ship is much better built than the foreign
vessel. This NAV be rightly attributed 10
the fact that the United States Government
Is very rigid In its requirements. All con-
tracts must be lived up 10, and that the
builder may be encouraged in his work

develops greater horsepower and more
speed, or where the requirements Of

rule well-digested synopsis of one of their
reports would be worth more TO the public
than the report itself. People leave the
report on a shelf aud read the points that
may be touched upon in the daily papers.
When there was no public printing Office the
cost of schoolhOoks bore no close relations
to the cost Of producing them. The price
was determined by legislation which was
not always above suspicion. The secret OIL
doing public work at the rates private print
ing firms can do the work for has not yet
been discovered. but there is sometimes
vast difference between the bottom rates
and the rates charged

At the annual meeting of the board Of
directors of the Omnibus Cable Company
yesterday afternoon 1t was decided to in-
crease the company's capital stock from
10000 shares Of the value of s. 100000 to
$4,000 shares of the value Of S2,500.000.
The increase of capital is for the purpose
of paying for the North Beach and Mission
line, purchased some time ago, and to form
a cons olidation with that line.

road, the track Of which is not in very good
condition, will be reconstructed very soon,
making it one Of the finest cross-town roads

A Tax on Sportsmen.

Ed W. Sandys, in Outing, defends the
recent change in the game laws OF Canada
by which a tax Of S25 was imposed Oh
foreign sportsmen. He says:
at costs money 10 protect game In q
country like Canada, and non-residents
have no just cause for complaint IL they be
asked TO contribute tritie toward keeping
game In that country for them to shoot.
Nor does the howl that a $50 license Is a
burden upon sportsman Of limited means
hold water. l don't like a Chinese wall
Of law around the sport of any land,
but shooting and fishing these days are
luXuries and must be paid for. Any
man who can readily afford the time and
money for travelling TO another country for
sport can afford to pay S25 for a license to
shoot If he says he cannot then he cannot
afford to travel for sport at all, n or afford to
spend enough money while away TO make Ii
worth the while of Canucks, or any other
people, to furnish game for him free gratis.
Game must be protected. The Canadian
system Is good one. In my opinion, and
those who claim that they cannot afford the
cast had best shoot in their own county and
fish in the family washtub or some equally
accessible and inexpensive water"
