The Committee on Amendments. To the
city Charter.


city Charter.
As will be seen by the minutes of
the meeting, published elsewhere, the
committee on amendments to the
City Charter is hard at work and is
progressing rs rapidly as the nature
of the work assigned to it will permit.
This is working committee and
the members have buckled on the
armor of thought and energy. and are
determined to leave no stone unturned
to present for public approval, such
amendments as will be advantageous
to the general welfare.
The task assigned to this commit
tee Is a very important one and the
members realize that each step must
be taken with much precaution and
only after considerable thought. Real
izlng that the trust placed in their
keeping is sacred one, for the city
will be affected by the result Of its
delil e:ations.
For these reasons the members
thereof, each of whom fully realizes
the responsibility resting upon him,
concluded to adjourn till to-day at II
o'clock so that each could the mora
fully charge his mind and heart with
such ideas as would be of benefit to
the matter in question.
The meeting to-day will doubtless
accomplish more work and as soon as
convenience and opportunity permits,
the committe will make its report to
the citizens, who created it and ask
that these suggestions be adopted.
1t is hoped and expected that every
will be present

TAKE ADVANTAGE OF The MOMENT

He Who Hesitates is Lost, SaiC.S Wise

1t is said that to every individual
comes one in a lifetime only, an Op-
portunity, which, taken advantage of,
assures him of a successful destiny
but failing 10 act at the right mo-
ment, loses him that chance, which
will never come again. Therefore,
we say to the trade, stand not idle
and allcw our immense bargains to
pass you by unheeded, but "act in the
living present." and let your wisdom
be verified by the results. Our house
is surely the place to buy everything
in the dry goods and notion line, and
all who do not come to us but cheat
themselves. Our house il we'll known
and has reputation already estsb-
lished, thence is responsible for any
declaration we make and we say that
we have an immense stock which we
will sell at very close figures.

AT A CARR-BEEL CONCERT.
The Scandinavian Music l.:
Much Admired.
AND ORIGINAL WORKS.
Grieg Has None of the Gloomy
Realism of His COmpatriot,
the Novelist, IbSen.

The Carr-Beel popular concert yesterday
afternoon in Golden Gate Hall was de-
voted entirely to the compositions Of Ed
ward Grieg. In San Francisco this great
est of Scandinavian composers is as yet al
most unknown, and therefore to the ma
iority of the audience his beautiful music
was complete revelation.
The day may come when the peculiar
character OF Scandinavian music will be
widely known and felt. Every one can
now Immediately recognize Spanish air
from its peculiar rhythmic characteristics
Chopin has thrown so much of the spirit
of his native Poland into his compositions
that any one gifted with an ear for music
can recognize compositions stamped with
the Polish nationality.
But Grieg is even more peculiarly
Scandinavian than Chopin was Polish

Charles to just past the far turn, when,
coming away. he won in most easy fashion
from Oakland and Blizzard, the last named

This may account for the shortage in the gold output, for this company has been from $10,000 to $20, ,000 short of Mr. Hubbard's clean ups and this company has doubled the amount of stamps at work that Hub bard and Bowers had. Of course no assets were shown.

POLICE COURT.
A Businesslike, But Unprofitable
 SaSSiOn

Session.
 Yesterday in police court was de. voted to the improbable consideration of matters relating chiefly to colored citizens. Belford Taylor was brought up on the complaint of hIs wife, Amanda, who charged him with beating her. It turned out that the complainant had been drunk and abusive and that her hus band had only exercised necessary force to compel the obedience specified in holy writ and In Mrs. Taylor's mar riage vows. He had not struck her at all. but to prevent her from throwing herself op3n to charge of disturbance of the peace, had thrown her into bed
 Mary Wood, colored, was up on two charges, distur bance of the peace and maintaining house of ill fame. The first was readily disproved by an old man who occupies apartments in the same house and had never been an noyed. As to the second complaint it was shown that the defendant was leading reasonably strict life. She had not always been a Christian girl had, in fact, been an associate and partner of the famous Jennie Garmant, but had reformed and most of the neighbors believed the reform was genuine.
 There were also two Mexicans in for drunkenness and peace distur bance. There was no doubt about their guilt but one of them was 102 years old and the other was working under the disad- vantage of broken leg.
 The recorder believed that time and misfortune had already and sufficiently anticipated him in inficting a penalty and he turned them loose.

OlIl6F lnIOTmdClOn concerning the
 Death of Herbert R. Hess.
 A few days ago an Associated Press dispatch from Chicago announced the death by suicide of Herbert R. Hess, young attorney who lived here last fall and winter. An in- vestigatlon has, however, shown that though death resulted from an overdose of morphine, 1t was ac- cidental. The victim had been suffer- ing from insomnia induced by recent and great sorrows and had recourse to the drug for temporary relief.

 CHICAGO, Aug. 19.
 The sad death in this city upon last Friday night of Herbert R. Hess marked the end of beautiful and strong life. Six months ago, turning his back upon the new grave of his be- loved young wife, Herbert Hess came to Chicago and entered the law office of Charles H. Aldrich. Here 1 met him, and from then to the sOrroWful last day , 1 was in constant association with him. He was 8 man who impressed at once, deeply, and for always. So rare and subtle a com bination of sweetness and of strength 1 shall not soon see again. Every day of intercourse with him took distinct color from some exhibition of his picturesque and exceptional person ality.
 In conversation he eXerted peculiar and great fascination; even upon the lifeless and trivial incidents of da ly business intercourse he laid lightly the touch of his gifted and fine intelligence. Each day this man, with his pathetic history, added unconsciously and with out labor to the admiration and regard of those around him.
 Two weeks ago he returned here again, retracing his steps from still another grave beside the first. His little boy was dead. of whom so often and so proudly he had dreamed and hoped Still he said nothing, and once more took up his daily life among us, seemingly with the same quiet, famil- jar courage. But 1t is certain his hear Tt was broken. Only two days before his death 1 heard him utter absentIy the words, implicit rest" Across the desolation that lay around his lonely soul his eyes pierced to light of peace that shone afar. And go, turning his last earthly glance to the picture of his wife and child he went his way. Her bert Hess has found ''implicit rest" at last. BERTRAND WALKER.
