The Senate and House Committees on
Public Buildings and Grounds met last
evening in joint session for the purpose
of listening to arguments in favor of AS
sembly Bill No. 242, which provides for
the appropriation of $3.50, 600 for the use of
affiliated and other departments of the
University of California, the same to be
paid to the Regents and expended in the
erection of buildings grouped together on
such site in San Francisco as the Regents
may select and acquire from other sources
tor the use of the professional and affili-
ated, TO wit; The Hastings College of the
Law, the College of Dentistry, the Col
lege of Pharmacy, Biological Labratory,
University Extension, Lectures, and
other departments of the university, ali
to be conducted in San Francisco.
A large number of representatives of
the above mentioned departments came
up on the local train from San Francisco,
accompanied by several well-known
lights of the medical fraternity, and ap-
peared in evidence.
DIR. Rodgers, a member of the Board of
Regents OF the State University, opened
the discussion. 1.-THE necessity of this
measure Is so apparent" said he, ''that
the objection to its passage must of neces-
sity be very slight. This bill is not
intended to obtain any money for private
purposes. 1t is true that the State has
been liberal in aiding an institution that
ranks with the best in the world. and one
that has realized the hope of its illustri-
GUS founders. 1t is also true that we have
no funds Tor building purposes outside of
Berkeley. Our income is barely suffi-
cient to keep up in building matters,
with the rapid increase in students at
headquarters. There is not single room
at Berkeley where all the students can
lind standing room. Our Medical De-
partment is in a bad condition and must
either move or die. We ask no money to
support this affiliated college, DIR. Rodg-
ers concluded his remarks with an expla-
nation of University extension.
Judge Slack, representing the Hastings
Law School, spoke at length for this de-
partment. He said that the buildings
were totally inadequate to present needs,
and that 1t was necessary To spend the in
come on current expenses. "Many stu
dents," he continued, ''are constantly
seeking admission, and we don't know
what to do with them. We have no place
for a library, and are in sore need, all
around, in the matter of buildings
The other speakers were DIR. r. Bev-
erly Cole, DIR. Regensburger, DIR. McNutt
and DR.. shields, who all expressed them
selves as strongly iavorng the appropria-
ton in the cause of higher education.
1t was decided to report favorably on
the measure.

ARARE OPPORTUNITY
Good Agricultural Land for $40
to 500 per Acre. =

The Pacific improvement Company has re-
Gently purchased twelve thousand ceres OF
land in the heart of Teha=na County, for the
purpose of promoting subdivision and settle
ment. This land embraces lands from first
class Sacramento Valley agricultural land, to
land of fair average quality, and is offered at
from $40 to $40 per acre, in subdivisions OF
40, so, 120, 100 and $50 acres.
The terms upon which these lands are offered
are especially attractive. They will be sold in
subdivisions, as above indicated, by the pay
ment Of interest only for three years, at which
time the purchaser can begin the payment of
principal by paying the first OF five equal an
nuaI installments. Thus no part Of the prln-
cipal is to be paid for three years, and then
the purchaser is to have five years in which to
pay five equal annual instaliments, with in
terest at the rate of 7 per cent. per annum,
making payments extending over period OF
eight years. Intending purchasers are as
sured that this is an opportunity to purchase
land of fair average quality at SO per acre,
and good agricultural land at $50 an acre,
with other grades Of land at prices to corre-
spond between these figures.
The assertion is frequently made that good
lands, suitable for general farming and es-
pecially adapted for fruitgrowing. cannot be
had in California for less than from 500 to
500 an acre. An examination OF the land
subject of this advertisement will prove to
hone-seekers that this is an opportunity for
the purchase OF good agricultural land at $50
an acre, and for qualities grading down to fair
agricultural land at $40 an acre, on terms OF
payment which should make the disposition
of these lands to actual settlers result easy OF
accomplishment.
The primary object of the purchase of this
body of land was the breaking up of a large
holding for the purpose of promoting its set
tlement in smaller quantities and its devotion
to diIigent husbandry.

dress WM. H. MILLS,

Uses ofthe Bees STING.


1t is mistake to suppose that the only
use bee has for its sting is meanness, or
revenge for a hurt or injury. Without
the acid, which forms the irritating SEN
sation caused by a sting from a bee. that
proverbially industrious animal could not
do its work neatly or well. This acid is
used freely in the manufacture of honey,
if such the process could be called, and
the process would be very imperfect
without it. Not only is it used in minute
portions throughout the entire process,
but it is employed much more freely to
complete the cells and cover them with
the tiny cap which has excited so much
admiration from time to time. Without
it's sting the bee would certainly be a
much more desirable and lovable insect,
but it would cease to serve as model for
industry for the young, unless it could
turn its attention and skill to some other
occupation besides honey making.

COUNTY GOVERNMENTS.
The San Francisco Fire Department
and Other Matters.

4 no san ETHUClSCO IlF0
and Other Matters.
When the Senate County Government
Committee met yesterday several promi-
nent san Franciscans were present to
urge the passage of the Mahoney bill to
establish a paid fire department for San
Francisco. Senator Fay had bill before
the committee for the same purpose. but
in the opinion of Attorney-Ge General Hart
it was unconstitutional. Senator Ma
honey's bill was changed so as to apply
to cities of over 100000 inhabitants.
Supervisor Denman suggested that the
bill might be less loosely drawn. He
thought it allowed too much latitude in
the cost of the measure. Senator Ma
honey said the Supervisors were sup
posed to not levy more money than nee
essary. This caused Senator Fay to rise
in his might against the San Francisco
fire department. Fay said there are
men in that department notoriously un-
fitted for the positions they mold. We
want to get them out. Notorious dope
fiends and thieves are kept in the de-
partment because they have been doing
nothing but rotten politics for both par
ties for fifteen years"
Senator Mahoney said he was much
surprised at the remarks OF Mr.. Fay, and
wanted to know who the rotten dope
hends were. a
Supervisor Denman then criticised the
fire department, Frequently" he said,
''the extra or call men are scattered all
over the town, and on an alarm of fire
only three men are found in the engine
house. When the fire is all out the extra
men get around to the engine-house.
What we want is eight or nine full
salaried men, who would be on the
ground as soon as the engine is. We
want the bill so arranged that the Fire
Commissioners can appoint the number
of men they think best. l would advise
that it be so arranged that these men
would not be employed in addition to the
present force"
This word may increase the force is
dangerous proposition" said Super
visor James.
"Yes, gentlemen" Supervisor Denman
said; 1--WE have found that in all legisla-
ton in which the word may is used it
means 'shalF in San Francisco.
After all the talk the committee got
down 10 business and decided to recon-
mend the passage of the bill, with an
amendment making 100000 a year the
limit of expense.
City Attorney Dunn of Los Angeles
appeared before the committee to urge the
passage of the bill in relation to the bond
ing of street improvements, instead of
assessing as now under the Vrooman
Act. The committee will report favor
ably on the bill.
District Attorney Frick of Alameda ap-
peared in the interest of the passage of the
bill providing for an Assistant Prosecut-
ing Attorney for the Police Court of Oak
land. The bill will be recommended for
passage.

Hears Some Arguments.
The Assembly Committee on Con-
tested Elections had long session last
night. The contest of F. Leonhardt for the
seat of Assemblyman H. B. NJ. Miller,
occupied the committees attention until
close on to midnight
The contestant and respondent were
both represented by counsel and their
arguments We're long and wearisome.
The contestants are Oaklanders.
Leonhardt's attorney claimed that two
atldavits of registration were filed by
MilIer-one in July, 1892, in the Forty
eighth Assembly District. the other in
September of the same year, less than
two months before election, in the Forty
ninth District, where Miller resides.
The attorney for Miller read authorities
tending to show that unless the irregu-
larities complained of showed clearly
that the result of the election would have
been different from that announced the
contestant would have no cause for action.
lie said there was no outside interfer-
ence and no indications of fraud. There
were no charges that his friend took any
part in the election in the way of fraudu-
lent voting, nor that they did anything
about the polls except to assist in the
counting.
Mr.. Miller made statement to the
committee explaining how he came to
register out of his own district. He ad-
mltted that he did it, but that it was
mistake. Owing to his wife's ill-health
he lived temporarily with his mother,
and while i'll the district she lived in he
registered. On the day of election he did
not know that the boys" had put him
on the ticket until late in the campaign,
and at a time when he could not with
draw.

FOR BONNER LAKE,
Mr.. Thomas Bill FavorabIy Reported
On.


Assemblyman r. l. Thomas of Nevada
appeared last evening before the Assem-
bly, Committee on Public Buildings and
Grounds for the purpose of making an
argument for his bill, No. As, which pro-
vides for an appropriation of $500 to aid
III the erection of monument to the
memory of the Donner party, at or near
Donner Lake, Nevada County. Section 2
of this bill provides that the appropria-
ton shall revert to the State, and not be-
come available for the purposes named,
unless, within twelve months from and
after the passage of this Act, the like sum
OF 50 500 is subscribed and paid to a Board
of Commissioners, To consist OF five citi-
zens of the State, to be named by the
Governor, within thirty days after this
Act shall have taken effect.
The argument of Mr.. Thomas in sup
port of this measure was brief but CON
vincing. He spoke of the deep concern
in this matter manifested by his eonstitu-
ents, and assured the members of the
committee that they would promptly fur
nish the amount designated IN the bill;
also that the grounds would be kept in
order for all time to come without ex-
pense to the State. 1t was decided to
recommend the passage of the bill.

A great many newspapers are COM

record a woman who has exceIed in the
game of chess. There is something
strange in the fact that only men have
mastered this great game. To become
proficient in this game one must hav
the cool. calculating faculty of the
mathematician, the nerve of the pro-
fessional gambler. and the face of a
sphynx. In addition to this, one must
have great deal of time to devote to the
