partment expects the mail to be fumigated be-
fore dispatch eastward. The popularity of the
present situation is that while Honolulu is
officially declared to be infected her mails are
landed without fumigation. The decree stands,
but the practical results do not follow. This
situation is embarrassing to the postal service
and confusing TO the people in the East.
While l do not presume to criticize any ac-
ton OF your honorable body, respectfully
submit the opinion that the quarantine against
Honolulu is either necessary or it is not neces-
sary. In the former case il should be opera
tive; in the latter event ali restrictions and
pTohibitive DEGREES should be revoked.
In view of the recent action of your board,
pronouncing certain foreign ports injected,
this office has been to much trouble and ex-
pense to meet the situation. 1t has been and
is my earnest desire to cordially cooperate
with the medical authorities of San Francisco
in their efforts to keep out disease and protect
the health of our people. 1 have employed
extra clerks. placed men at the quarantine
station, purchased implements for perforating
letters and taken other necessary measures to
facilitate the handling OF the mails and make
fumigation effective.
So long as the decree of infection stands
against Honolulu, or any other port, this ex-
penSe and preparation must continue. II it is
not necessary would much esteem a COM
munication from your honorable board to that
effect
The members of the Board of Health
will meet this morning and try to settle
the matter.

A PASTOR LAID TO REST.
IMPRESSIVE FUNERAL OF THE LATE
REV. D. HANSON IRWIN
AT ST. JOHNS.
A CONGREGATION MoURNs It's
Loss-ToUCHING TRIBUTE OF
LITTLE CHILDREN.

The funeral OF the Rev. D. Hanson Irwin
took place yesterday morning at st. Johns
Presbyterian Church. The full congre-
CATION was present to attest its sorrow at
the sudden taking off of a beloved pastor.
and the ceremonies were conducted in
solemn, impressive manner that betokened
the sadness in the hearts of every member
of the church
The church was appropriately draped in
mourning and was beautifully decorated
with flowers, the pulpit and altar being
completely banked with the magnificent
blossoms that formed the many floral
pieces contributed by friends. The male
ganized by Mr.. Irwin, furnished the music,
assisted by Miss Daisy Cressey. In the
front rows of seats were the following
members OF the San Francisco Presbytery:
Revs. John W. Ellis, J. Cumming Smith,
William Alexander, D. D., George D. B.
Stewart, ]. NJ. Condit, Theodore F. Burn
ham, +. Flawith. John Hemphill, ID,
J. Hunter, W. E. Smith, II. B. Mcbride,
Loo Hoo Nam Art, A. w. Colver, II. G.
Minton, f. r. Farrand, f. A. Doane and
NJ NJ. Gibson D. D.
The services were conducted by the Rev.
DIR. William Martin who was one OF Rev
.
lessor at San Anselmo Theological Sem
mary, an institution in which Rev. Mr..
Irwin took a deep interest, and he was also
one of the dead mans instructors in his
early life. From the nature of DR.. Mar
tins relations to the deceased he was pc
culiarly well fitted for the office, and in an
eloquent reference to the services Rev. Mr..
Irwin had rendered the Presbyterian
church, and his ardor and faithfulness as a
pastor, DIR. Martin brought tears to the
eyes of every member of the church. as he
depicted the loss they had sustained in the
death of their spiritual adviser.
DR.. Martin was ably assisted by the Rev.
DR.. Thomas Scott, clerk of the Presbytery,
and the Rev. d. NJ. Ross, the moderator
There was one particularly touching
feature of the deeply heartfelt ceremonies.
Rev. Mr.. Irwin in life had devoted much
attention to the Sunday school and was
very popular with the children. AS the
casket containing the form of the dead
minister was borne down the aisle of the
church and rested at the foot of the altar
procession of the Sunday children,
varying in age from half-grown boys and
girls down to the smallest tot, passed with
bowed heads around the coffin, each plac-
ing upon it a floral offering; and though in
many instances 1t was most unpreten-
tious bit of a bouquet, the iniantlle rever-
ence with which it was bestowed was more
touching than the most feeling words that
could have been uttered.
The pallbearers were the officers of the
church and included the following named
Elders James D. Thornton, f. A. Berlin
and W. ". Wilde; Deacons E. n. Wilson,
P. J. Tormey, Robert Irwin and l.. II.
Packman, and Trustees Henry ]. Croker,

which take up eight feet of space. The
forecastle is Is feet long and contains four
double wire hunks, which during the day
can be folded up to the sides of the launch,
leaving space for a messroom. The en-.
gine-room will be II by IA feet and is bulk

The engine was built in San Francisco and
is the largest of its kind ever built in the
United States. 1t is expected to drive the
yacht at rate of at least 10 knots an hour.
Attached to it is a double-cylinder 6-horse
power engine which will run the dynamo
that will supply the vessel with lights.

LESSEN THE CONFUSION,
TOUCHING APPEAL OF POSTMASTER
MCCOPPIN TO THE BOARD
OF HEALTH.
STRINGENT QUARANTINE ORDERS
THAT ARE EXECUTED IN
QUEER WAYS.

Postmaster Frank McCoppin, like the
grand jurymen and a good many other
officials, is anxious to have the confusion
surrounding the present quarantine orders
cleared away. Yesterday he communi-
Gated directly with the Board OF Health,
asking for Information.
Weeks ago, when the cholera was rioting
in Asia, several ports there and also Homo
lulu were declared infected by the Board
of Health and all vessels arriving from
them were ordered quarantined and fumi-
gated. For some time past Quarantine
Officer Chalmers has not been carrying
out the order in the strictest sense.
Mayor Sutro went SO far as to say that
DR.. Chalmers was acting in an insubor-
dinate way. The whole matter was at last
called to the attention of the Grand Jury.
As the case stands, some officials, like
Mayor Sutro and Postmaster MeCoppin,
are doing all they can to strictly carry out
the quarantine orders OF the Board OF
Health; others are not. 1t is to clear up
the uncertainty as to what ought to be
done and to save LOT of time, expense
and trouble that Postmaster McCoppin
Yesterday penned the following letter to
the Board of Health:
The steamer MarIposa, from Honolulu, was
reported 10 tHls once as passing III on the
oath inst, at 2:55 P. NJ. She was locked at
4 80, and her mails reached this Office at ) p NJ
According to my information she was not de-
tanned in quarantine, nor were her passengers
or mails subjected TO fumigation.
Under these circumstances-and acting in
harmony with the desires of the Postoffice De-
partment-the mails were fumigated at this
office The delay which ensued caused them
to miss connection with the outgoing overland

until tonight

kindly give me definite information concern
ing the status of Honolulu as an infected port.

the company support each other excellently.

DEATH OF WILLIAM N. HART.
A WeII-Known and Gifted Newspaper
man of San Francisco.

A WeII-Known and Gifted Newspaper
man of San Francisco.
William n. Hart, newspaper man well
known IN San Francisco as writer of
ability and a marine reporter of exceptional
merit, died from the effects of cancer at
the Pasteur Institute New York, last Sum
day evening. The highest medical skill of
the land was invoked to arrest the growth
of the cancer and save the life OF the pa
tient. William r. Hearst, proprietor of the
Examiner, had the patient conveyed to the
Pasteur Institute and personally directed
that everything should be done to restore
Mr.. Hart to health, but the malignapcy of
the cancer defied the power of the physi-
clans.
William Neff Hart was born in Visalia
CAL, thirty-fiye years ago. He made sew
eraI voyages when a boy and acquired a
love for the sea that was ever manifest in
his writings. From the composing
of printing Office be went TO the Chron-
icle local staff as an all-around reporter.
and from that paper went to the Alta.
When Mr.. Hearst bought the Examiner
and changed it from an evening TO morn
ing newspaper BILLY" Hart, together
with many other bright young men of the
City press, enlisted under Mr.. Hearst's
banner He filled various positions on the
paper 10 the sdtlsiaCtion VI Uhc IL sihS
powers, but he gained his special distinc-
ton and surely displayed his highest
skill as a writer in his narration OF sea
VOYAGES. He knew the sea in the sense
that Dana in his 1.-TWO Years Before the
Mast" knew it, and so he gave to the news
from the ocean a life-color and freshness
that eluded the sense of other reporters. The
associates of Mr.. Hart, his fellow workers
who knew him best, noted growth from
year to year in the strength of his writing
and the grace of his style. His best equip
ment was his strong natural intellect and
alertness of observation. AS companion
he was sympathetic, not tender as some,
perhaps, in the expression OF his sympa-
thy, but thoroughly sincere.

Church yesterday afternoon. Between
one and two hundred people responded to
his invitation, and, besides hearing the
voices of well-known society singers, heard
for the first time Miss Carrie Little, who
has just returned from Germany on the
completion of her musical education.
She sang Jesus, My Redeemer" Emusic
by Rassford), and her clear, bell-like voice,
with its liquid tones, bore the meaning OF
the words straight to the hearts OF the
listeners. The hushed silence of the audi

complete mastery of her powers that Miss
Little has it will only require little expe-

The Orpheum.

Several new people added to the programme
at the Orpheum last evening, among them
being Ida Howell, an importation from Tony
PASTORS, the Lassards and Harry Steele The
Girards were to have appeared last night, but
they did not arrive from Australia in time.
Ida Howell is pretty, dresses well, and is adj
dicted to those conversational songs which all
Eastern singers of her kind bring out here.
She has no voice to speak of, but she ''takes,"
and so was well received.
The "Trilby'' dance of the sisters Leigh goes
on for another week at least. So do the aero
batic Schroeder brothers, who are really the
features of the Orpheum programme.

delay.
The completion and the anticipated
opening of the Sutro electric line has given
a marked feeling of confidence in real es-
tate lines in that portion of the City, and
a steady growth of improvements has been
the result. The fact that the Cliff House
will be practically finished this week leads
the observing people of that portion of the
City to predict the long-expected opening
of the Sutro ca line not later than the 10th
of next month, while many anticipate that
it may be opened even prior to that date.
The gas company is extending its pipes
along Point Lobos avenue from Twelfth to
Twenty fourth street, large force of men
being engaged in the work.
Cross-sewers are also being run on
Twenty-second, Twenty-third and Twenty
fourth streets, between California and
Lake.
The work of grading Twentieth avenue,
from Point Lobos avenue to Clement street,
is nearing completion. James 6. Ralston,
an old resident of the district, said yester-
day:
II have never known a more satisfactory
and hopeful feeling to exist in all lines of
business in Richmond district than that of
the present. True, we are yet in COM
paratively undeveloped state, but if the
present steady pace of Improvements keeps
up, as the evidences lead us to expect, we
shall have no cause to complain

The Tivoli,

"Lucta di Lammermoor' was again put on at
the Tivoh last evening, and in expectation q
good audience assembled. 1t was probably the
best production of 'Lucia" that has been given
in the Tivoh. The company sang the choruses
with spirit, and the principals were in excel
lent voice.
The finale of the fourth act was far above the
choruses usually heard at the Tivoli. and an
encore and a curtain call were demanded.
This evening "Martha" viii be presented
"Il Trovatore" viii follow tomorrow, then the
bohemian Grip Thursday and Saturday, with
"Lucia" again on Friday, and Martha" and

Judge Hunt yesterday overruled the
demurrer in the case of the Knights of
Pythias against the Sutro Railway Com
pany. The demurrer to the complaint
took the ground that the Knights of
Pythias did not own that portion OF the
cemetery entered upon by the railway and
which entering was the cause of the suit,
but that instead it was public highway.
held that even if it was a part of the
public highway the occupancy of the
Knights of Pythias and the graves of their
dead gave them the right of possession.
The defendant would have to show fran
chise permitting them to invade the
grounds, which they had not attempted to
show.

attorney for the Board OF Health. The
