BEAUTY AND THE BEAST.
A Young Lady Whose Dog Was Re-
fused a Seat With Her on
Streetcar.

excuse me, madam, but you cannot
put that dog on this car, as the company
strictly forbids dogs aboard"
Such was the warning reply given by the
conductor of car 65 of the Sutter-street
Railroad Company to question asked by
a young lady who had on the end of a
chain rather pretty English setter.
The car was about to start from Suite r
and Sansome streets at 6:30 o'clock last
evening when the passengers were treated
to a little incident which was by no means
looked for.
The young lady was nonplused when
she found that her darling pet would not
be permitted to occupy corner in the car.
FINALLY. after much fruitless pleading with
the conductor, she espied the old gripman,
and with smiles bewitching she stepped
lightly on board the dummy, and whisper
ing kind word into the ear of old grip
her surprise can possibly be better i1nag-
ined than described when she was informed
in the gruffest fashion that under no cir
cumstanceS could sne put ner ilCtle dog on
board the dummy.
"Well. for goodness sake, where am I to
put nv dog, then2" asked the young lady,
as the tears commenced to trickle down
her cheeks. II will not ride without nv
dog and I am ready to pay whatever
charges you demand
Hurry up therel" shouted the con-
ductor. "We can't remain here all even
ing waiting on that dog. Get an express
wagon if you desire to bring that thing
home"
The old gripman had evidently soft
spot in his heart, for he touched the young

CONSUL HALL BURNED OUT
An Early Morning Blaze on
Bush Street Destroys Sew
eral Flats.
A LOSS OF TWENTY THOUSAND.
Montgomery Baggs Is One of the
Sufferers-Valuable Relics
Destroyed.

An early morning fire, which reduced
$20, 900 worth of property to ashes and
nearly burned several people who were
living in the house numbered 1912 Bush
street, aroused the residents in the vicinity
of Bush and Laguna streets yesterday
morning about o'clock.
The fire started, so far as is known, in
the basement of 1912 Bush street. The
house is owned by M. ]. Simmons and is
divided into flats. One of these, the low
est, was empty. The middle one was oc-
cupied by George E. P. Hall, the Turkish
Consul, his mother and his brother, and
the upper one was occupied by NJ. J.
Baggs, the insurance man. The building
was built entirely of wood and burned SO
fiercely that by the time the engines arrived
the whole roof of 1912 was blazing and
flames were shooting upward from No.
1910. The fire spread to No. 1908 before
being finally checked but that dwelling
was not badly damaged. No. 1910 is owned
and occupied by G. S. Baker and his
family in the lower fat and n. Crocker in
the upper one. The loss to No. 1910 in
contents and in damage to the building
will amount to over $4,000.
The biggest loss of all was in 1872 and
the heaviest loser is Mr.. Hall. In his
apartments were hundreds of pretty
things, some of great value, and all col
lected during many years and in numerous
countries. They were all lost, together
with furniture and fittings. Mr.. Halls
loss has been estimated at $40, 900 or more,
but the bric-a- brac which he had collected
could not have been valued in dollars. The
loss to the building. which was almost de-
stroyed, will amount to about $4,000. In
every case the losses were covered by in
suranee.
The Fire Marshal investigated the cause
of the fire. and, from indications he found
in the basement, he is of the opinion that
combination of rats and matches is re-
sponsible. The neighbors cared for Mr..
Halls mother and he got into cab and
went down to the Bohemian Club, where
he sent out for some clothes. Neither he
nor his family saved a thing. They were
awakened by some one ringing the bell and
had only time to run from the house down
the already tottering stairway.

THE RUMORED STRIKE.
Generals Warfie1d and Barrett Confer
With Chief Crowley.

Brigadier-G General Warfeld and Adiu-
tant- General Barrett called upon Chief
Crowley yesterday morning to confer with
him regarding the rumored big strike in
the fall. They assured the Chief that in
the event of trouble the entire National
Guard would be at his disposal to assist
him IN preserving the peace. The Chief
thanked them for their offer, which he said
was very gratifying to him, but ne assured
them that the rumor was without founda-
ton. He thought the police force would
be fully competent to cope with any possi-
bic emergency.
The Chief said be kept himself we'll
posted upon the movements of So called
anarchists, and at the present time be
knew they were merely dong what they
always do just before Presidential elec-
tion-locating and registering all their
members, to use for political purposes.
There never had been an anarchistic out
break in the City. There had been large
strikes and many acts of violence had been
committed at such times, but they were
labor troubles, pure and simple, with
merely local causes behind them.

Talk of a Successor.

Railroad men of the Southern Pacific
were extremely guarded in making sur
mises as to the probable successor of A. N.
Towne as general manager. W. G. Curtis
is regarded as next in the line of promo
ton. He is accredited with possessing
ability and Judgment of high order in
dealing with questions that require tact
and skill to adjust. Some of the functions
of the company which Mr.. Towne years
ago managed have latterly devolved upon
Mr.. Curtis. 1t is quite likely. however,
that the Office work performed by Mr..
Towne will be apportioned to several de-
partments, and while the responsibilities
of two or three positions may be increased
there will be no one instantly appointed
as the direct successor of the general man.

The promotions, whatever they may be,

Judge Campbell's Final Instructions to
aJury of Business Men.
"Thank you for your attendance, gentle
men. Go back to the bar"
Such was Judge Campbells dismissal OF
the jury of ten men that passed upon the
case of the sale of liquor at the horse show
to minor, A. Baetz.
General McComb of the Society for the
Prevention of Cruelty to Children was the
plaintiff in the suit. He says it was plainly
proven that liquor had been sold to the
minor, and the Judge practically instructed
the jury to bring in a verdict of guilty.
But the jury, which was composed of busi.
the City, thought differently, and after
being out three minutes brought in YER

Bruce also asked that the tracks laid on

President F. W. Dohrmann of the Mer-

| Nothing definite was done other than to
generally acquiesce in the idea that the
united efforts of the three organizations
was desirable and to suggest that the Half
million Club formulate some sort of plat
| form of affiliation. The drawing up of
this platform will probably be done by the
committe of promotion of the Half-million

| hold regular weekly joint meeting every

common purpose for all three.
Incidentally the idea of agtating fiestas
was discussed. 1t was thought some sys-
tematic arrangement of fiestas throughout
the State might have the desired effect of
bringing people out from the East and into
close touch with the various sections. If
it be decided to include fiesta feature in
the general programme, plan of success
sive tiestas will be agreed upon providing
for series of likely places.
This will, however, be more in anticipa-
ton of next years possibilities than anv
thing seeing that the season is pretty well
on, although it might be considered ad-
visable to have some sort of fall celebra-
ton in this City.

The new town of Cape Elizabeth seems

town officers elected and general bust
ness transacted. 1t was discovered su bse-
quently, however, that Mr. Charles E.
Jordan, who acted as moderator, had not
been sworn as the status requires, and
therefore that the proceedings were on
dou btful legality notwithstanding the
