MERCHANTS ASSOCIATION.
Further Preparations for Cleaning
Public Streets.

The Merchants Association will make
| to-day a wholesale attack upon the dirty
streets of San Francisco. Heretofore the
work has been confined TO only portion
of Market street and few blocks of its
tributaries, but from now on an effort will
be made to hand-sweep the whole city.
| No machinery will be used on the start.
| 1t is hoped that the work can be
done with broOms. as it is considered that
hand work is far superior to that OF the
machine.
The association will put to work to-day
$50 men. This number will be increased
to $50 as soon as the merchants are sure
that the $4,000 will be subscribed, which
sum Is necessary in order that they may
carry out the work as they have planned.
The meu will be divided into two forces.
One gang will be employed on the prin-
cipal business streets. The other gang
will look after the residence streets and
outlying districts. The business streets
will be swept over every day, while the
others will be attended to at least once a
week. Mr.. Levins0n, who had charge of
the experimental work, will suDerintend
the force engaged upon the business streets.
The second force will he OveTseen by Mr..
Stevens, who has been superintendent of
the STRENGTHENING work under different
contractors for the last Ten years, and has
a thorough knowledge of every nook and
corner in the city.
The street cles ming will be done by sec
tions, and each division of men will be
subdivided according to these sections,
over which there will be a foreman.
An Office was opened on Eighth street
yesterday, where the time will be Rept
and the tools distributed to the men.
Carts will be used to remove the dirt at
present, which will be heaped up In piles
The association has under consideration
a sample barrel for dirt deposit which is
used in some cities. but they have not
adopted it yet.
In speaking of the subscriptions yester-
day Mr.. DohrmaDn said, Now. that we
have all the men selected and at work we
will have more time to give TO the coliec-
ton of money. The committee will at
once take hold of the matter and push it,
We hop. to raise the required amount in a
short time"

became active, and "Life In Danbury"
began to appear under the point of his
pen i'll the shape of short sketches de-
scrlptlve Ill their character, homely in
style and execution, and yet so humor-
GUS in their originality and conception
that they began to be copied into other
journals.
Thus Mr.. Bailey passed some of the
pleasantcst years of his life. 1t was Just
as natural for him to write about the
things he saw as it was for him to
breathe, and he did it easily, with no eff
fort. 1t was not until four years after Mr..
Bailey first began to write his sketches
that they influenced the circulation of
The News, which suddenly jumped from
1000 or 5000 weekly to 10000, and when
Mr.. Bailey's first book was published
the paper had steady sale.
The Danbury News Man had founu
that what he took up more as recrea-
ton had begun to attract attention all
over the world and that he was famous.
His books rapidly ran through several
editions. and he declares that the climax
came when he was offered s25 900 for q
series Of lectures. This he declined, as
he had not confidence in his ability to
command the attention of an audience.
"Why, had no idea could talk to a
crowd" he said to the writer some time
ago, "and never could understand why
they seemed to like what said" The
knowledge that he could talk and talk
well, so that when his name was an
nounced the lecture hall would be crowd
ed, came to him almost by accident.
Bret Harte lectured in Danbury on one
occasion, and Mr.. Bailey introduced him
to the audience. He intended to make
short formal speech, but he says that
something about him seemed to attract,
so that he talked on and on, and every
thing he said was received with an
plause. Finally, when he did get through
and turned to Bret Harte, who was wait
ing to make his address, the latter whis-
pered to him under his breath: ON
you, Bailey! You have taken the wind
out of my sails"
With such prosperous paper as The
News and the author of such popular
books, Mr.. Bailey soon found himself in
easy circumstances, and he made a trip
to England, where he found that his
works had preceded him and We're hay
ing ready sale. On his return he be-
gan to lecture and was favorably re-
ceived everywhere. Some one asked
him not long ago if he were not rich.
swell" he replied, Il am comfortable
but most of my treasures are in heaven"
Such was James Montgomery Bailey,
one of the kindliest mortals who ever
lived-a man who was never known to
turn away beggar from his door-and
perhaps the best epitaph that can be re-
corded of him should be that the world
was better for his being here.

THE DANBURY NEWS MAN.
Personal Sketch of tho Well known nnt
Lamentcd Humorist.
Especial Correspondence

Lamentcd HumOrlst.
Especial Correspondence
DANBURY, Conn, March 15.-This lit
tie city still shows both publicly and
privately visible signs of mourning
tho loss of one of her best and most
popular citizens. James Montgomery
Bailey has been known to the world for
many years as The Danbury News Man.
Monte" Bailey, as no was Familiarity
called by those who knew him best in
life, was comparatively young man at
the time of his death, having been born
in Albany i'll 1S41. At one time he was
one of the most famous figures in Amer
lean journalism, and as the originator
of characteristic style of American
humor he has been without rival.
Probably no more democratic man
ever lived than Monte Bailey, or one
more easily approached, and his humor
was Of that natural. spontaneous kind,
which came from him easily and without
effort. 1t dealt with the most common
place realities of New England life, but
such faithful pictures did he manage to
convey by his brief sketches, and withal
80 excruciatingly funny, that they found
p" PAeiSO AZ OfCiy ldillhJ ClIClC, cdSG anu
west and north and south, and at the
time when the Danbury News as a week
ly was 30 popular the books written by
Mr.. Bailey achieved popularity that
has been given to no American humor-
list pure and simple with the exception
of Mark Twain.
Mr.. Bailey's early struggles were by
no means easy and it is to be inferred
that his boyhood had not the most peace
full surroundings. He told mo once that
his stepfather-his own father having
died when he was very young-was
man Of ungovernable temper, but he was
quick to add that he was one of tho best
hearted men living. 1t is easy to see,
however, that Mr.. Bailey's youth must
have been strongly impressed on his
mind by the vivid pen pictures he gave
afterward of his boyish experiences.
When boy, he learned the carpen-
ter's trade, and the most that he received
mentally was common school educa-
ton. When the war broke out, he ell
listed in the Seventeenth Connecticut
volunteers, and afterward he went to
Danbury, where he got control of The
Jeffersonian newspaper and changed it
to the Danbury News. 1t was then,
when he was established us the editor of
what was in many respects but village
paper, that Mr. Bailey's sense of humor
