DENMAN SCORED.
In Bad OdOr i'm Golden
Gate Valley.
The Pacific Gas Improvement Com
pany's distractions and the
Polk. Street Cut.

Supervisor DenmaD, who represents the
north end of the city, was in bad odor
with the Golden Gate Valley Improve
ment Club at its meeting last night. The
club met in Tilton Hall on Union street,
and E. II. Knight presided. 1t seemed to
be the object of the meeting to give ex-
preston upon Mr.. Denman's attitude to-
ward Golden Gate Valley in the Board of
Supervisors.
w. Wright said that matters of great
interest to the club had occurred since the
last meeting, when resolutions had been
adopted demanding the removal of obstruc-
tions maintained by the Pacific Gas In
provement Company on Steiner street
These resolutions were presented to the
Supervisors, but Supervisor Denman de-
feated them.
I'VE know Mr.. Denman's feelings to-
ward us" said Mr.. Haley. ''He makes no
secret of hostility toward our club. He
regards nothing in his efforts to retard the
improvements we are anxious to see made"
Haley denied all Supervisor Denman's
statements about the Instructions on Stei-
ner street. He said that, ins tead of being
swamp near the gsSworSs. Steiner street
was more than half graded AID can be
travelled over without hindrance tn the
gates across the street. I'm short" said
he. MIR. Denman has put himself on rec
ord as faVOTlGg public nuisance in order
to accommodate the gas company"
The following resolutions were then Of
fered by MIR. Wright and unanimously
adopted:
Resolved, That we, the members CT the Golden
Gate Valley Improvement Club. and owners OF
property In this vicinity, depTecate the action
Of those members OF the Board of Supervisors
who have refused TO abate a public nuisance;
that we respectfully remind them that they are
not empowered by law 10 permit any person or
corporation TO enjoy possession of any public
street; that being persuaded that their action
allegations of Supervisor Denman we earnestly
request them to reconsider their action and
legislate for the people, whose representatives
they are. even IL they have 10 differ with MIR.
Denman ana offend corporation.
No action was taken with the Polk-street
cut, which is assessed on the street itself,
except to condemn Supervisor DeDman's
action in opposing the formation of an
assessment district for the work, as such
district would include his own property
1t was decided to send communications
to the Board Of Health asking that nui-
sances shall be abated at Lombard and
Franklin streets. and also to the Super
visors requesting the rem moval of certain
obstructiOns on Van Ness avenue, near
Flbert street.
A majority Of the property in the dis
trict was represented at the meeting.

A PRETTY BAZAAR.
In the Simpson Memorial
Church Rooms.
Success of the Ladies' Aid Society.
A Tea Booth That Seemed
in Japan.

There were q number of charming ard
novel features at the bazaar opened last
evening by the Ladies' Aid Society of the
Simpson Memorial Church, which prom
ises well for the continued success of the
enterprise.
Taken together the booths presented a
bright and picturesque appearance. while
considered separately each one was pict-
uresque, and had an individuality of its
own.
Every one agreed. however, that the
Japanese tea booth was the masterpiece of
the room. 1t had been constructed en-
tirely by the young ladies in charge, and
spoke volumes for their taste and in
genuity. Frall bamboo canes were the
groundwork for this inpromptu tent. 1t
was rallied in with bamboos, and had roof
OF bamboo. Gay Japanese lanterns were
SUSPENDED from the ceiling, and soft. vel
low bunting was draied here and there
through the latticed bamboos.
Within the booth were the daintiest of
tea-tables, adorned with masses Of chrys-
anthemums, and furnished with bronze
japanese urns and exquisite porcelain,
while huge lamps with yellow shades
threw suffused light upon the faiTyiike
tables. Pretty maidens. in tie genuine
costume of the Mlkado's kingdom. even to
the manifold tiny fans in their hair, min
istered to the wants of customers.
The ladies in charge Of the tea booth
are: Mrs. j. K. Firth, Mrs. w. j. GOlcher,
Miss Cora de Lano, Miss Bessie Ohlan,
Miss George Speaker and Miss Florence
Stetson.
The kitchen booth, nnder the manage
ment of Mrs. Owens, commended itself 10
all good housewives. Every utensil that
the heart OF woman could desire To cook
with was there. from nutmeg graters to
stewpaDs. Even the aprons were not for
gotten. A row OF good, strong white and
dlmity ones was strung all across the back
Of the booth, which cut very pretty figure
In spite of its utilltarianisni.
The doll booth drew crowds Of admir-
ing Juveniles TO gaze upon beautifully
dressed dolls of every rank in life. There
were brides in white satin and lace. sailors
aud soldiers, babies, black and white, and
dolls dressed like clowns. The doll boot b
was conducted by Miss Marguerite Hirst
and Miss Annie Goodssl
E The candy booth, where Miss de Lano
and Miss Cbilds dispensed most known
varieties oil sweets, was largely DatrOniZed.
The flower stand, managed by Miss
Greene and Miss Bertha GoOdalI, die a
thriving trade in fragrant blossoms, while
the basket booth which Mrs. Hlrst con-
Quoted, and the fancy box booth, presided
over by Miss Saunders and Miss Strange,
all drew numerous customers.
Tonight there will be a varied pro-
gramme. consisting of music and recita-
tions. DR.. Hirst will also make brief ad-
dress. Tomorrow night tableauX yivaDt
will be presented.

DUNCAN'S DEPARTURE.
ihe Ex-PaStor of Howard Church
Leaves for the East.


The presbytery of San Francisco will be
able to obviate the responsibility OF trying
Rev. Kenneth j. Duncan. ex-pastor of
Howard Presbyterian Church. because of
alleged idiusyncrasies in his private life.
The ministers and elders com posing the
church court were in quandary what to
do with the erratic divine. They felt that
some action must necessarily be taken in
reference TO his eccentric actions, but
they derlored the necessity for adding an
other to the somewhat long list of clerical
cases of discipline. Without shirking any
duty they are now enabled to avoid either
case by the withdrawal of the minister in
question from the bounds of the presby-
terry.
Mr.. Duncan has gone East to remain
away indefinitely, and many of his former
co-laborers seriously doubt If he will ever
return to the Pacific Coast. Mrs. Duncan
is still in q local hospital. where she is be-
ing cared for. and their little son is in
charge of mem ber of Mr. Duncan's for
mer con gregation.

BEAUTY IN BOOTHS.
The Attractions at the Beth Israel
Bazaar.

DdLddEs
Trade was booming in all the booths at
the bazaar in Armory Hall, on Ellis street,
last night, where the ladies of the Congre-
cation Beth Israel were dispensing their
wares
One OF the reasons for this was doubt
less the real excellence of the articles on
sale. The fancy article booth. under the
charge of Mrs. DR.. NJ. S. Levy, Mrs. Hau-
ser, Mrs. Franklin and bevy of charming
and obliging young ladies, was offering
astonishing bargains in the way of tickets
for articles in the booth. Only 10 cents
was charged for a ticket to secure either
magnificent hand-painted fish set, bust
oil Shakespeare, or stately porcelain vase,
while ticket for a Carara marble bust
OF Sir Moses Montefore, valued at $500.
was sold for 81. No wonder that with
sucn attractions the dimes and the dollars
rolled steadily into the ladies' treasury.
One OF the prettiest and most noticeable
of the STANDS was the flower booth. 1t
was gracefully constructed floral arbor,
where hOutonnieIes and cut flowers found
a rapid sale at the hands of the obliging
matIOn and maidens in charge. These
ladies' were Mrs. Peters, assisted by the
Misses Calish. Marshel, Gosliner, Gyle,
Marks. Selig. Conn, Ray FEEDER and Dolly
Fener.
Every booth In the room was admired
and patroniZed, however. The gypsies
found constant supply of people to
cross their palms with silver, and the
wheel of fortune revOlved merrily, while
the strains Of Rosner's Hungarian orches-
ira enlivened The festive scene. A number
of soloists, including Alfred Wilkie, Miss
FEEDER. Miss CoODey and Miss Savannah,
also rendered an excellent programme.
Tonight the children of the Beth Israel
Sabbath-sch0ols will 60 through their ex-
erclses and receive their medals at the
bazaar.

The Fire Committee.

At a meeting of the Fire Committee of
the Board OF Supervisors yesterday Fire
Marshal Towe protested strongly against
the proposed amendment to the fire ord-
nance, which takes Polk street from Sutter
to Clay outside Of the fire limits. This
section OF the city was placed in the fire
limits at the earnest request of the late
Chief Scannell, who desired to make a
brick wall protection on Polk street
between the Western Addition and o wn-
town. The Fire Committee decided to post
pone action for one week, but from the
sentiments expressed it is not probable
that the fire limits will be changed to suit
property-owners on Polk street.

Child-likeness is highest manhood and
womanhood. We tell a boy TO be manly.
and a girl to be womanly: but we do not
tell man to be boy-like, and woman
to he girl-like. Yet it is pitiful to see
premature manhood in boy. or prema-
ture womanhood in girl; while il adds
a charm to the character Of a true man
to find him retaining his boy nature
unimpaired to the last. and true
woman is all the lovelier for never
losing her true girlhood. Childishness
is to be avoided in child. and to be
left behind as one natures in life; but
cild-likeness is alike admirable in a
child and in an adult. Childishness we
should shun: child-likcness we should
strive after. or rather we should not
strive away from it.

This world Of ours, which seems TO be
so full of misfortune and misery. is
abounding in pictures to charm the eye
and make glad the heart, If we will only
look for them. The trouble with too
many of us is. we are blind TO them from
thoughtlessness. We have made up our
minds that there is not much sunshine
for us, and that we might as we'll sit
still in the midst of disappointments and
darkness as to go out in search of light
and happiness which are not for us.
But they are for you and for everyone,
and not least among life's duties is that
we seek them with gladness and with
faith. Poor thankfulness is it that we
give for all our blessings If our days are
spent in murmurings that all our wishes
are not gratified. The harvest is unto
the reapers: it is rich and bountiful, but

Many women OF our country think
they have hard life of it, but they
may be thankful they do not live in
some of the foreign countries. In Bull
garia the woman gets up very early in
the morning and gets breakfast ready
and after all have eaten and the men
have gone to the fields to work. then
she must get something ready for din
ner. All the children large enough to
stay alone are left at home and If there
is baby in that home the mother
straps it on her back and with the
lunch in her hands for the men in the
field, she walks four or five miles and
when the harvest field is reached the
mother ties the shawl, which her baby
is wrapped in, on a tree and she goes
out to do a mans work in the field. AS
long as the baby does not Cry too loud
and long it remains on the tree without
anything to eat, for babies are never fed
in Bulgaria only when they cry, but
when too boisterous the mother ties it
on her back again and works with a
sickle in the soorching sun and the
baby gets the full benefit of old Soils
hot rays. After the days work as a
harvest hand is over the mother re-
turns home with the baby on her back
and then she has to get supper ready
for the family, while the husband sits
around and growls II the children make
any noise, and wants his wife to make
them keep quiet The boys and girls
of Bulgaria never 'keep company" and
leap year is unknown there. When a
baby is born in that country it is salted
and tightly wrapped in cloth for five or
six months and then its hands and arms
are freed sometime before the remain
der of the body is unwrapped. Ameri-
can women and girls would think it
pretty tough If they had to live in Bull
.garia.
