A NOVEL sly STEM.
New Suggestion for Street
Numbering.
A. L. Bancroft Gives Some Interest
ing Points Regarding His Ideas
on the Subject.

The matter OF REMEMBERING the streets Of
San Francisco. which came up before the Street
Committee OF the Board OF Supervisors Tuesday
last, as narrated In yesterdays CALL, gave rise
to no little comment yesterday, and suggestions
for improving the system now in vogue were
made on all sides. Many OF the plans were Of
such nature as TO confuse even the most
philosophical. while others seemed to be
founded upon theory as simple as they were
logical.
A. L. Bancroft. who is the originator Of the
Textbook system Of numbering country houses,
has struck uDon a theory of numbering the
cIly's thOroughiares which has tinge OF origi.
nality, while its practicabllity is urged by its
originator
Although Mr.. Bancrofps scheme is but
vaguely drawn up It's development may lead TO
system which would entirely revoluIionize
that system with which the public is snow COM
PEELED to contend.
In order 10 explain his theory more readily
Mr.. Bancroft began with the section lying north
Rancho TO the ocean. The blocks In this Sec
ton bring OF an equal size are more readily
worked on the plan and the modus operandi Of
the system.
Sacramento street, on account OF It's run from
the ferries TO point within short distance
from the ocean, is chosen as the standard line
Each block Will retain Its present umbering.
California street, which adjolns Sacramento
street on the south, win begin from Market
street, under this system, with number 100,
Pine street 200, Bush street 300, and so on TO
Waller street which would star from Market
street with 1900. The thoroughfares north OF
Sacramento street would follow the same
course.
Thus 1t will be seen that the numbering OF all
the blocks embraced 10 the section outlined
would correspond with that of Sacramento
street, thus enabling one to locate given num-
Der on any tboroughfare wi b comparative case.
The Enumeration from the ferry to the ocean
would correspond with that on sacramento
street, and with the 100 TO a block system
which is now In vogue, it will be readily seen
that given point could be located on any of
the parallel streets with The same ease as
would entail the finding OF a number on the
standard line.
The crosst0wn streets would be divided In a
similar manner, Devisadero street being chosen
In this case as the central line owing TO It's
length. The enumeration would begin at Bay
street and continue along the wafer front on
either side.
The section south Of Market street would be
similarly divided, although some difficulty
might there be experienced in making both
ends meet on account OF the c0nglomeration of
the streets.

CAUSE OF INSOMNIA.
The Effect of Poisonous Drugs Upon
the Brain.

Formerly sleep was believed to be dependent
on state OF comparative bloodlessness OF the
brain. and by the condition OF the circulation
OF the blood through that organ the character
and duration of sleep was held to be modified.
This view 1. still regarded TO be correct by
psychologists of the present day, but since
physiological chemistry has thrown more light
on the processes of repair and waste il has
been shown that, in addition 10 the part played
by the blood circulating through The brain, In
duclng wakefulness or sleep according TO the
increase or decrease IN the rapldity of the cir.
culation and the variation In the size of the
blood vessels, the actual condition of the brain
cells also serves TO determine the existence of
sleep and wakefulness.
AS the formation of clinkers In furnace re-
duces the fierceuess OF the flames and inter-
feres with the activity OF combustion. so the
accumulation of fatigue products within the
brain cells, formed during the waking hours,
tends TO induce Inconsistencies by reducing
the activity OF chemical action and Interchange

 DR. PHILLIPS YESTERDAY.

The kind of Help Men Most seed-"rhe

 lice Investigation.
 A large congregation at the Church of the Redeemer listened to an ex- cellent discourse by the Rv. Dr. Wat son L. Phillips Ills text was; And the Lord God said. It was not good that man should be alone: will make him help-meet for him." Genesis 2:ls He said that the help that man needs is not to be found in material things nor in the forces purely spiritual. act ing from without. but in a union of the divine and human. In our work of saving the world. men must 70 to men-men inspired by high spiritual purpose. but with like passions to the men they labor among.
 In the evening Dr. Phillips discourse was on "The Glory of the Common Place." His text was from Acts lo:5. He said that the common duties of life are the ones in which man finds the greatest opposition and highest dig nity. No work that Is mans duty Is unworthy of him. Ordinary duties of citizens should be performed by exerting an influence in favor of just laws and seeing that they are enforced. One can use his influence In that way as we'll as by holding office. One can use his use by his influence In that way as well as by holding ofrlce.
 He also alluded to the matter now at issue between the police commissioners and the Law and Order league. He said that there was an evident disposition on the part of public officers to trust to public indifference, and rely on the general lack of interest among the men who elect the city's officials. If there was stronger public sentiment against lax methods in the public boards, officials would be more likely to accede to the demands of such organ izations as the Law and Order league, nor would the officials in question have to be stirred up so often. All fair minded men in the city ought to be in- terested in sweeping investigation of the issue now before the board.
 The congregations at this church have been unusually large this fall. The Sunday evening services were re- sumed last evening.

 Read ng stocks.
 New York, Oct. G. Sro-day's advances In nearly all the securities properly rounded out the week. The bear ad- venturers in Chicago Gas had n little more rough treatment administered, as in this stock it usually is, by inside interests. But there is this essential difference between ofiicial manipulation of this stock and of Sugar certificates, that the Gus people are commonly called oi to protect the price against attacks of unprineipied outside bear speeulators In Chicago. But everybody knows who are the most dangerous bears on Sugar"
 Further than this, to-day's market speaks tor itself. The advance In Reading, to q price higher than any touched since the reorganization plan was published, was connected doubtless with the Philadelphia story that at the January meeting three rival tickets will be In the field. But the third name mentioned for Readings presidency is, considering the gentleman's past rela- tions with the company, too preposter- ous su gestion 10 be taken seriously. As for the other candidates. it Is not i'm probable that Mir. Rice's friends will make an energetic canvass.
 The bank statement to-day was favor able, though it did not agree with out side forecasts. The loan account was the most interesting feature, for just as last weeks s35S, 400 decrease reflected plainly the liquidating movement then in progress, so this weeks S2, 716, 200 gain means a return of market conii- dence and of other buying than cover- ing for shorts.

Death of John Ba, ton, 8 Prominent Sales
 man of New Haven.
 The sad news was received in this city by telegraph from Buffalo yester- day morning of the sudden death in that city of MT. John Barton of this city, who has travelled for the last twelve years for the R. Wallace & Sons company, manufacturers of silverware in Wallingford, and previous to that for thirteen years for the MeridenBritannia company. He left New Haven last Tuesday on a business tour in his usual health. No particulars have yet been received as to what was the cause of his death, although he had at times been subject to rheumatic attacks. The tele-. gram was received in the morning by his wife announcing his sudden and dangerous illness and she started inn mediately for Buffalo. In the afternoon a dispatch was receivedtfrom Mr. Hop kins, friend of MT. Barton's, and who was formerly a Bradstreet's represent ative in this city. by Fire Commissioner Stannard, announcing that Mir Barton was dead. The deceased was a gentle man about fifty years of age, very successful travelling salesman, and of fine presence and address. He had usu- ally enjoyed robust health. He leaves a wife, who was Miss Emma Green, for. 1nerly of Salem, Mass. They had been nartted about twenty years and had resided at Mrs. yails on Chapel street. and later on Wooster street for the last ten Nfats.f MT. Barton had travelled in all parts of the United States. Canada and Nova Scotia in pursuit of his busi- ness, and leaves, it is understood, quite a handsome property. He had no chill dren.
