James Keir Hardie, the English member
of Parliament, was present by request at
the meeting of the Labor Council last
night, accompanied by Frank Smith, his
travelling companion. Mr. Smith was a
member of the London Town Council un-
til last March, when ne resigned to contest

These two advocates of labor reforms are
booked for several speeches here. The
Labor Council invited them last night to
address meeting at Metropolitan Temple

CITY OWNERSHIP FAVORED
Two Thousand Voters Sign the
Petition in the First
Week.
APPROVED BY TWO CLUBS.
The IroQuois Braves Indorse 1t and
the Union League Club Is Elk
pected To.

The proposition for municipal ownership
of water works, gas works and electric
lighting plants is steadily growing in favor
in this City. Petitions circulated during
the last week by persons eager fol- this re-
form, that has been adopted by 20 per
cent of the cities of the United States,
show that large numbers of the property
owning voters are In favor of the measure.
The petitions are being very generally and
willingly signed, the rapidity of returns be-
ing limited only by the mum Der of men cir
culating the petitions. The canvass is made
entirely by voluntary workers, who feel
that IN devoting little spare time to such
work in their respective immediate neigh
borhoods they are aiding worthy public
measure.
Last night the Iroquois Club unani-
mously adopted the report of its COM
mittee recommending municipal owner
ship Of water works, a proposition which
had been referred to a special committee
for investigation and consideration.
Two prominent members of the Union
League Club, who have been seen by the
chief promoters of the measure have ex-
pressed their Willingness TO advance its
interest at the next meeting of their CLUB.
With the Endorsement OF two powerful
political clubs, and with. the individual
recommendations of 1000 of the City's
voters who have signed the circulating
petitions during this first week alone, it
begins to look as though the question of
municipal ownership will soon be decided
in this City.
In addition to the blanks that have been
filed out, there are over 400 now in
circulation.
An example of the way in which the sub
iect is being received is shown by few
examples. On Thursday Dr. John F.
WetZel, corner OF Seventh and Howard
streets, obtained fifty signatures within a
block and half of his residence, inside of
an hour and half, and yesterday got some
more blanks. On Thursday, also, Alfred
Kingdom Jones, inside of an hour, secured
the signatures of over twenty voters on
California street, between Montgomery and
Sansome.
In speaking of the work, John NJ. Rey-
noldS said yesterday: There is one thing
that IS that there IS no scheme in it at all.
If the City should see ct to purchase the
Spring Valley Water Works, it should give
only its present value, not it's speculative
value or the original cost of the material
in the system. 1t would never do to buy
the Spring Valley Water Works on any
other basis.
Il called on one of the prominent civil
engineers of the City to-day to get data in
regard to the cost of other systems, and he
has put me in the way OF getting all neces-
sary information"
John NJ. Reynolds is the chief worker in
bringing this question before the voting
public.

are entitled to a grade of 60 per cent in
each of those studies will be so informed
on Monday morning, when the regular ex
animation will proceed. Tomorrow the
other test branches will occupy the atten-
ton OF the prospective teachers, who will
anxiously scan the blackboard in the
board assembly-room Monday to see
whether their names are written there.
If not, they must wait six months before
they have an opportunity to try again.
Monday will be given to an examination
for primary or second grade certificate,

There will be a theoretical examination in
cookery the same morning. Wednesday
will be given up to the five extra branches
required for first-grade certificate, alge-
psychology, and to the theory of the man.
ual arts.
First-grade certificates alone will render
the possessor eligible to position in the
schools of San Francisco, but the holders
of second grades are entitled to recognition
in other counties of the State.
Most of the applicants are kindergart-
nerS OF tnlS City. Ihere are few candl-
dates from Oakland and Santa Clara.

Hearst Grammar School; Miss NJ E. CAL
lahan, principal OF the Clement Grammar
School; Frank Morton, principal of the
Lowell High School, and Richard D.
Faulkner principal of the Franklin Gram
mar School, with Deputy Superintendent
Babcock as chairman, constitute the board

changes in the standard for the respective
studies, the list standing as follows

evening. He spoke particularly of the adj
vantages and hopes of trades unionism.
Having been trades unionist himself, he
said, for over twenty years, both as a
mem Der and office bearer, he felt ompe-
tent to give some advice as to tho relations
which ought to exist between the mem
bers OF labor organizations and their
officers.
The acrimonious differences of opinion
which frequently cause discord in the
labor movement he very much deplored,
and he hoped the queru1ous spirit would
be repressed in the ranks of labor. "When
the officers become too big for their jobs"
he said, ''they should be made to step
down and OUT
The interests of labor were the same
the world over, he observed, and its pur-
pose was the uplifting of humanity.
Therefore he considered it a sacred cause.
Mr.. Smith, who is one of the secretaries
Of the independent Labor party IN Great
Britain, spoke also of the labor struggle.
The present capitalistic system he called
cruel. "bloodthirsty juggernaut," and the
man that did not join the trades-union
movement he deemed traitor to
humanity" With labor combining, on
the one hand, and capital on the other,
then Marathon, he thought, must ulti-
mately be reached. In his opinion the
labor struggle was a step toward So
cialism.
The arrest and expulsion from the Pre-
sidio reservation of Crandall- and Appell-
man was brought up before Messrs. Hardie
and Smith arrived. President McGlynn
informed the council that dispatch from

held. There is not hall in the whole of
this district and the need of one is very
much felt by our people. The subject of the
erection of a hall has been one of some
serious consideration and discussion
by our people, but as yet nothing of a
material nature has resulted, but we look
forward with hope to the time when some
one will see in this matter an opening for
a valuable investment and give to the peo-
pie here what they so much need in this
line"
81 am satisfied that the unwarranted
and excessive tax levy has had a very
strong effect in bringing on the very quiet
condition of the real estate market here at
this time" said T. G. Parker yesterday.
I'VE feel any depression of this character
more in these outlying districts than the
people do downtown. The influence which
such high levy exerts keeps out investors
in real estate. The market is more quiet
just now than it has been for some time
past, and l am fully persuaded that this
exorbitant tax levy has been the cause of

TALKS ON HORTICULTURE,
Subjects Discussed at Yester-
days Meeting of the
Society,".
Mr.. CraW's Paper About LadybIrds.
President Lelong Deals With
Olives.

Several interesting papers were read at
yesterday afternoons meeting of the State
Horticultural Society in the Mills building.
Among them were one by State Entomol-
oglst Alexander Craw on 'Ladybirds, -
and one by President Lelong on 1.-THE Use
of Olives in Small Lots" Editor H. A.
Brainard of Santa Clara County recon-
mended printers ink as remedy for the
canker worm, and Professor c. w. Wood
worth of the State University spoke on the
relation of water to plant diseases.
Great care" said Professor Woodwork,
'should be taken in the use of water, as
too much water for the tree helps the
fungi, and either too much or too little
may favor the animal parasites"
Alexander Craw, in his paper, said he
had received applications for lady birds
from lands as far away as the Cape of
Good Hope, Ceylon, Italy and Samoa. He
had on exhibition several varieties in diff
ferent stages of existence.
Abiding to the destruction of the cot
tony cushion scale, Professor Craw said:
The introduction of a few of the Vedalia car
dinalis and Novius Koebelei has done the
work so effectively that l have difficulty at
times in keeping my colonies of Vedalia and
Noyius supplied with food. consider the No.
vius Koebeiei the better of the two. We re-
ceived only two or three of these alive after
their long journey from Australia three years
ago, but they increased so rapidly that we soon
had them by the thousands, and since that
time we have sent out more colonies of this
than any other species. 1t searches out the in
qlvldual scales in the orchard better and so
does better work. The young are covered with
cotton and look like the scale
The next most important ladybird, he
thought, was the Rhizobius ventralis,
which preys on black scale and other
lecanlums. Ellwood Cooper, president of
the State Board of Horticulture, received
ten pairs alive from Australia in May,
1892. Since that time his extensive
orchards have been cleaned of black scale
and hundreds of thousands of Rhizobius
have been sent to other districts.
The other varieties Professor Craw re-
ferred to in detail, concluding with the

Australia. introduced into the Sandwich
Islands by Mr.. koebele. Colonies of
