We call attention to-day to
our Oil Stoves. The "Dietz"
Stove which we carry in stock
has gained a great reputation
everywhere. The one we espe-
cially recommend is the most
complete oil stove ever offered
in the market. 1t is perfectly
safe for the user of it, and it
will answer all purposes in a
well regulated household. Five
quarts of oil is sufficient to burn
ten to twelve hours. In ten
minutes half gallon water can
be boiled. 1t will fry and boil,
bake or broil at the same time.
You can boil potatoes and bake
biscuit at the same time. In
ten minutes you can broil a
steak to perfection, and in an
hour and a half you can roast
an eight.pound turkey. Once
tried the ''Dietz" Oil Stove will
be found the very thing for the
housekeeper, and the price
brings it within the reach of
everybody.
The Water Coolers which we
have on hand are the very
things for restaurants, saloons,
schools and stores. After the
water is boiled fill the cooler
with it, and even without ice, it
will keep pleasant tempera-
ture. Large families will find
these highly ornamental coolers
of great advantage and a great
saving in regard to ice.

WARRANTS MUST WAIT.
Auditor Frederick Is Not Sure That the
New Appropriations for This
Year Will Stand.

Auditor Broderick will ask the Mer-
chants Association, represented by Presi-
dent Dohrmann, to wait until after Septenl-
Der before presenting its warrants for
July street sweeping for his signature
Mr.. Dohrmann recently called upon the
Auditor, and stated that in view of the
fact that the Finance Committee of the
Board OF Supervisors had adopted a reso-
luton to increase the appropriation for
street sweeping to $4,000, he would, at
the end of this month, present demand
for $50, 500 under the one-twelfth act.
After thinking the matter over, Mr..
Broderick decided not to sign the warrants.
Il can see no valid reason for signing
this warrant" he said yesterday, "for sew
eral reasons. In the first place the action
of the committee is not final, and may be
reversed by the full board when it meets,
or the appropriation may be scaled down
to conform with that of former years.
Again, the Mayor may veto the appropria-
ton, in which case that of last year will
stand. In either case my bondsmen would
be liable should a shortage in the funds
occur, and the appropriation run short
through my having signed warrants or
funds the extent of which had not been
definitely determined. am not going to
take chances on the matter, and will ask
all to wait until the Board of Supervisors
and Mayor have passed on the proposed
appropriation"

QUESTION OF SALVAGE.
Two Boatmen Who Found a Water Cask
in the Bay Arrested for Petty
Larceny.

Harry Johnson and Charles Love, boat
men employed at the Folsom-street wharf
by Ed Peterson, were arrested yesterday
morning on warrant charging them with
petty larceny.
The case is a peculiar one. Love on
Tuesday night rowed the carpenter of the
ship Cyrus Wakefield out to the vessel.
On his way back to the wharf he came
across big water cask. He towed it ashore
and got johnson to assist him in empty
ing it, as it was partly filled with salt
water, and Landing it on the wharf. It
took them over an hours hard work.
IL. w. Gibson yesterday morning claimed
the cask and Johnson and Love asked for
81 salvage. The cask is worth 49, and they
thought 50 was little enough. Gibson
offered them 81 So which they refused to
accept, and objected to handing over the
cask till they were paid the 81. Gibson
I'M mediately went to Judge Lows court
and swore out a warrant for their arrest
for petty larceny.
Peterson laid the facts below Judge Low
after the arrest of Johnson and Love, and
he at once released them on their own
recognizance.

THE PORT|A LAW CLUB.
The First Meeting Since Vaca-
ton Proves Decided
Success.
Judge Cooney Delivers an interest
ing Lecture on the Subject
of Agencies.

Notwithstanding the fact that Mrs. Clara
FoltZ, dean of the Portia Law Club, is still
touring in Europe, that organization pre-
sented an admirable programme to the
large and appreciative audience which
assembled at Beethoven Hall last night.
The Portals have had long vacation-two
months or more-and thoroughly refreshed
after the past years labors are prepared
for season Of study and social activity.
Last nights programme proved feast
in the way of music. Rotations and a
"talk with the club on law" Judge Car
penter was to have delivered the opening
ddress, but at the last moment learned
that an engagement, made before the open
ing night of the Portals had been agreed
on. would prevent his attendance. Judge
Coonev, at the earnest solicitation of the
club, consented to take his place. and his
brief talk on the subject of agencies proved
highly entertaining. In his opening re-
marks he said:
The question of agencies is one of vast i'm
portance. l do not think that I go too TAR
when say it Is the most important of the day.
1t enters into nearly all the transactions of
man at the present time, and for that reason
alone should be thoroughly understood by the
women. There are two classes of agencies
general and specific. The one has the power
to bind the principal in all matters, while the
other is limited in its action.
The speaker then dwelt at length on the
power of agents, their liability and the liza
bility of the principal, defining also in
clear and intelligent way illegal agencies,
and on whom the responsibility fell when
methods of this kind were adopted.
The recitation of Browning's "Count
Gismond," by Mrs. Leila Ellis, proved one
of the most striking features of the pro-
gramme.
The remainder of the programme was
as follows: Soprano solo, Miss Nellie Gal
lagher; bass solo,. J. H. Hughes; violin
solo, ]. FL. Rosewald: soprano solo, Miss
Nellie Giusti; recitation, George T. Brom-
ley; accompaDist, Miss Ada E. Weigel.
An excellent programme for the year
legal matters by such well-known people
as A. P. Van Duzer, J. C. Campbell, d. M.
Delmas, Carroll Cook and others.

GOLDEN GATE PARK.
The Southern Pacific VIII Remove the
Spur Tracks.

Inc southern racine VIII Remove the
Spur Tracks.
Yesterday afternoon Charles F. Croker
and II. Z. Huntington of the Southern
Pacific Company notified Joseph Austin,
president of the Board of Park Commits
sioners, that the company spur tracks in
Golden Gate Park would be at once re-
moved. The Park Commissioners prefer
that the tracks should remain for the
present, so as to facilitate the dumping of
loan and street-sweepings within the
domain of the park, where the material is
needed. Messrs. Crocker and Huntington
took the position that the maintenance of
the tracks was source of expense to the
company, for which there was no adequate
return. They also submitted to the Com
missioners that the company was receiving
the censure OF the press and the public for
keeping the tracks in the park hence the
removal would no longer be delayed.
Some months ago an arrangement was
effected between the Park Commissioners
and the Merchants Association by which
the Commissioners agreed to pay the asso-
citation from $500 to $1,000 month for the
street-sweepings.
1t was considered that no better material
could be found for enriching or creating
soil in the park than the sweepings from
the streets. Since this arrangement went
into effect the management of the sweep
ing has been transferred from the Mer-
chants Association to the Street Depart
ment. The Superintendent of Streets is
willing to dump the material on the cars
at Fourth and Townsend streets, but in
sists that the Commissioners shall see to
its delivery within the park limits.
Commissioners Scott and Austin hold
that the tracks should remain 70 enable
the street-sweepings to be dumped where
the material is most needed.

SHE SAW HER SON DROWN,
Twenty Men Also Looked on
at George Huff'S Death
Struggles.
incredible CoWardlineSS at the Pre-
Sid;o Wharf When Boy
Went Down.

The body of George Huff, the little lad
who was drowned Sunday off Preside
wharf, was picked up yesterday by the
Presidio lifehoat crew short distance
from where he lost his life.
George was but years of age. His
father is first sergeant in the army and
lives near the old fort across the roadway
from the wharf. While away from home
Sunday afternoon at the military post his
wife took short walk in the direction of
the wharf. Suddenly she saw her little
son in tiny blue boat drifting out from
underneath the structure. The boat moved
away from the shore so slowly its motion
could hardly be seen, and all about there
the water was perfectly calm.
There were about twenty men on the
wharf at the time and they stood looking
at the child drift away without attem pting
to save him. Among those who were there
was the son of the quartermaster. He told
sad story yesterday about the manner in
which young Huff was allowed to drown.
IF could swim a stroke said he, II
would have jumped in and saved him.
The men stood round there and they
shouted at the boy when he was but
twenty feet from the wharf. But none of
them would go into the water.
"They shouted and frightened the little
fellow. and he jumped from the boat. 1
saw him all the time. He sank three
times and came up to the surface three
times while his mother was looking on.
She was frantic and begged the men to
save her boy, but they refused. Then the
lifeboat was got out, and it was there five
minutes after the boy jumped into the
water, but by that time he was dead on
the bottom. If a man had plunged in he
would be only few yards from the boy
and could have saved him easily. The
fellows on the wharf looked at him go
down three times and never stirred"
