ON A DUMMY SEAT.
Domestic Panorama at the
Windows.
POSES OF THE BEAUTIES.
Men and Women, Old and Young,

Pass Before You.
POSES OF THE BEAUTIES.

Anv one who says the dummy seat of
cable-car isn't q fine place to observe the
panorama of social and domestic life hasn't
been observing very closely. that's all.
As YOU are riding along. if you care to do
it. you may cast your eye up at the windows
which line the street and any day see for
yourself a series Of tableaux that rival the
lbeater in interest and lend no little spice
TO an otherwise uneventful ride over "the
same old route" YOU travel every day.
The sw eet unconseiousness of some fairy
posed at the par!0r bow Of fine residence
is a living refu,atiOn Of the slander that she
is there for effect. The pleasure of your
own contemplation of her loveliness is only
enhanced by the remarks OF the south-of-
Mission swell at your eloow-"to get onto
that'-some one besides yourself is enjoy
ing the scone. The car does not pass by too
swiftly, either, Tor you to take in the be-
wiiching set OF the young persons gown
and the pOise of her graceful head Rer
utter abandon is beautiful TO see, SO evi-
dently absorbed is she in the intricacies of
some philosophical novel, perhaps. Bless

THE CRINOLINE WAR.
Coupons Are Coming In at a Very
Lively Rate Now.


Lively Rate Now.
So many Anti-Crinoine league coupons
are received at THE CALL office that it
becomes more than ever necessary for new
members to give clearly written and suffi-
cient addresses.
About two-thirds Of those applications
for certificates come from San Francisco
aud from the other principal towns of CALI
fOrnia. A great number, however, are re-
ceived from remote parts of this State and
from Nevada.
Many of the ladies who have sent in the
latter coupons have neglected to give the
name of the county where the town from
which they write is situated. This neglect
has entaied vast amount of labor upon
those who make out the certificates.
In order that new members NAV be
promptly enrolled they are begged to write
their names ana full addresses clearly, and
in the case of married ladies to prefix the
name by Mrs" Where no addresses are
given the certificates are forwarded to THE
CALL branch Office on Market street to be
left till called for.
1t is the simplest thing In the world to
become member. just fill In the inelosed
coupon with your name and address, write
Anti -Crinoline" in the corner of the
envelope and forward it to THE CALL.

THE MARKET MUST Go.
No Further Lease for the Suffer-
Street Concern.


Street Concern.
About month ago one of THE CALLS
contemporaries. with commendable fore
sight, erected a new clubhouse for the San
Francisco Veren, locating it on Geary
street, opposite Union Square. The con-
temporary was sadly in error. The San
Francisco Verein will remain in its present
quarters at the corner of Grant avenue and
Suter street, having secured a new lease of
the premises from Mrs. Frank j. Sullivan,
daughter of the late James Phelan The
monthly rental is to be $3.50 instead of $3.50.
the present rate. Mrs. Sullivan has agreed
to expend $4,000 in rempdeling and im prov
ing the clubrOOms, and the members of the
verein will expend fully as much as that in
refnrnishing.
This, however. will not be done until early
next year, when the lease of the Suffer-
street Market, downstairs, expires.
a further lease of the market will not be
given, and the tenants will be notified to
remove. Then the ground floor will be re-
modelled and used for q number of retail
stores. This will effect notable change in
that locality, and one that has been greatly
desired by the property-Owners and store
keepers in the vicinity.
1t is not known at present where the
marketswill be removed TO.

WILL SAWYER BE REMOVED ?
Judge McKenna Apparently Wants
New Clerk.

The Senate at Washington has adopted a
measure allowing Judge McKenna of the
United States Circuit Court to appoint his
own clerk, and as consequence there is
good deal of uneasiness felt in that depart
ment In the Federal building.
Judge McKenua had nothing to say in re-
gard to the matter yesterday except that it
was his desire to have the bill introduced to
remove certain ambiguity in the law re-
garding the appointment Of the clerks of the
Circuit Court
1t seems to be the general opinion among
the officials of the court that Clerk SAWYER
Is Objectionable to Judge McKenna and
that the object of the clause in the bill is to
have him removed. None of the under
clerks would express an opinion in regard
TO the matter, but at the same time they are
looking for notes announcing them that
their services will be no longer required.
