ST. ROSES SISTERS.
They Will Continue Their Work
Here and i'm San Rafael.

The sisters of st. Roses Academy on
Golden Gate avenue were so upset yester-
day after the fire in their house they could
not reach any definite conclusions about
future action. The loss was greater than
was estimated On Friday night, for the
building Is completely ruined with much
of its pictures. books and furniture, and
Sister Agnes. the superior. was kept busy
attending to callers and insurance men
yesterday, the visitors offering sympathy
and the fire underwriters figuring on losses.
Although the fire was extingulshed be-
fore il burned much below the attic where
it started from defective flue, everything
underneath was soaked with water. Plas-
ter crumbled away from the walls. lOosened
by water. carpets and furniture were
soaked, and even the library suffered
though on the first floor. No room in the
building is fit to be occupied as habita-
ton.
Three sisters went to the Dominican
College at San Rafael yesterday and with
them we're the SIX boarding pupils of st,
Roses. Both institutions are conducted
by the Dominican Sisters, so the work
will be continued temporarily at San
Rafael. The day school Will be opened
Immediately in some convenient place
near the burned institution, probably in
the hall of Sacred Heart church. Fillmore
and Fell streets. A consultation between
Father Flood, the pastor, and Mother
Agnes was held yesterday with view to
moving the day school TO his church, but
no arrangements were made.
Mother Agnes will remain in town to at
tend to business iD connection with the
academy. and be guest of p. f. Nolan on
Golden Gate avenue.
Mother Paul, superioress of the D0mini-
can Sisters in California. is in the East at
present. Until she returns no radical ac-
tion will be taken.
AS the burned building is ruined it may
never be used again by the sisters, but the
land may be sold and another building
site purchased. Such has been the inlen-
tion OF The community for some time, and
the fire will accelerate change.
The building is insured for $4,000. and
as the land on which 1t stands and also q
large lot adjoining has increased wonder
fully in value since the sisters bought it
years ago they will not be such heavy
losers after all.

Antiuuated Sentiment.

The Appalachian Club advocates the
planting of more shade trees in cities. For
mercy's sake, what is the club thinking
about? Does 1t want to interfere with the
free use of the heavens by the telephone
and telegraph companies, and to be q
bling-block in the path of the trolley
wire? Why, had it not been for these
shade trees the common might have been
to-day criss-crossed most beautifully by
electric railways, and everybody knows
that the shade trees are great nuisance
to the corporations which ornament our
city skies with their wires. Then why
multiply the shade trees to the annoyance
of the corporations? 1t is true that il the
wires we're under ground the shade trees
would not be so much of an objection, bu1
that is another story.

noon be now goes up the hill little way
and feasts his eyes on this strange illu-
sion. Sometimes he crosses over and
takes in the mirage from the south side Of
California street, standing just below the
summit OF Mob Hill at the side of the
Hopkins Art Institute.
The phenomenon is not quite so ap-
parent from this point of view, vet it is
clear enough il the sun be shining bright
ly. Yesterday the atmosphere was rather
misty, yet the mirage was plain enough
from both sides of the bill. and the won
der is that others who pass that vicinity
every day have not noticed the remarkable
illusion.
Displacement by mirage is commonly
vertical, says the dictionary. but is lateral
like the Mob Hill mirage-when the
density gradient is more or less inclined to
the vertical.
This makes it very clear to the most un-
scientific mind, of course, yet 1t will pay
you to take look at this fata morgana of
Mob Hill during the luncheon hour If the
sun be shining.

The Girard Millions.

Under the Girard will no money of the
vast and very profitable estate can be de-
voted to any purpose other than the estate
itself. The administration of this trust has
been the most remarkable on record.
Girard devised his entire fortune of
1000, 900. after making liberal provisions
tor other charities and public works to the
creation of his college. To such growth
has that fortune attained that the net in
come of The estate for the seven months
ending July 81 was S526, ,995. The cost of
lands and buildings to date comprising
Girard College has been So, 250,00 alone.

several reasons. In some respects the Isa-

The attention of women the world over,
