She is shy little maiden with soft,
appealing dark eyes, clear brown skin
and lusterless brown hair. Her manners
are as refined and her movements as grace
full as those of the most carefully nurtured
darling of any San Francisco home, yet
she lived until four years ago in the little
wave-washed village of Marzovia, on the
western shore of one of the Aleutian ISL
ands.
Mary is the daughter Of Captain Brown,
who was lost a year ago in the wreck of
the schooner which he had named in honor
of her. Her mother is an AIeutian
whom the gallant Scotch captain married
nine years ago and who bore him three
children, of whom Mary was the oldest
and his favorite. He brought his little
few years ago and placed her in charge of
comfort and education. The child made
remarkable progress in her studies in the
public schools. She shows a special apti-
tude for music.
The one grief of the little girls life was
the loss of her father, to whom she was
tenderly attached, and she is 10th even yet
to give up hope that he may be found.
perhaps he may come in some day Just
as he used to do" she says, with a hopeful
light in her big, bright eyes.
Captain Brown was bluff sailor who
never feared the seas. II never saw a
wave couldn't beat" was his boast, and
the child partakes of that confidence. With
a singular improvidence he neglected to
insure his schooner, and when It was lost
the major part of his property was gone.

REBUILDING THE RUINS.
The Half-MiIlion Club Inter-
eSted in the Scene Of the
Big Fire.
President Henry Crocker Says the
Organization Is Very Much
Alive and at Work.

The Half-million Club Is neither dead nor
sleeping. There has peen some talk of late
about consolidating the organization with
the Merchants Association, and the rumor
went abroad that the Half-million Club
has outlived its days of usefulness. To the
three or four hundred members of the
club, who have given their time and money
to the successful promotion of its objects
and purposes, these stories were anything
but agreeable, and especially so to the
president, Henry Crocker, who said yester-
dav:
81 have heard the story about a sub
merging of the clubs identity in the Mer-
chan Is Association, but / desire to state
empha tically there is nothing in the asser-
ton that we are going to become anything
else than what we now are, the Half-mil-
lion Club. To be sure we have not figured
largely in the papers ofTlate, but that is no
indication that we are dead or at all likely
to become defunct. The club has never
undertaken any scheme since its inception
that il has not carried out successfully,
and the records will bear me out in that.
The club has also much work ahead and
its successful performance will mean much
to the City.
''Some OF the labor organizations oppose
US through misconception. They think
we want to increase the population to half
a million by bringing all kinds--all sorts
and conditions of men here, and they
point to the number of unemployed
already in the City, and then condemn us
and our undertakings. We do not want to
bring any more of the unemployed class
here. We want capital, and men with
families and moderate means.
''Now, think 1t is. within the purview
of the club to try to have the recently
burned district rebuilt in a substantial and
ornamental style, instead of rising from
the ashes in the shape of cheap and eye
sore shanties. Such fire should be of
ultimate benefit to the City, and I think
the club should exert itself to see that the
property-owners rebuild in manner cred
table to the City. The subject will proba-
bly, come up at the meeting to be held
next Thursday. The club should move
and that quickly in the matter of inducing
owners of property on the burned district
to make that part of the City as pleasant
to the view as any other section. It can
not be done, though, if the former shan
ties and cheap structures are replaced in
kindo

Violators of the Sunday Law to Be Ar
rested and Prosecuted.
At a meeting of the BARRIERS Associa-
ton held last night, H. A. Wolf in the
chair, it was reported that shop in the
Western Addition keeps open on Sunday
afternoons. A committee of two was ap-
pointed to investigate, and if evidence can
be secured to have the offender arrested
and prosecuted.
Messrs. Klitsch and Hartman were ap-
pointed to fill vacancies in the entertain
ment committee, which is empowered to
arrange for an entertainment and social to
be given at an early day.
One member asked what should be done
with BARRIERS employed in clubs who shave
non-members on Sunday after II o'clock NJ.
The member was informed that if he
could fasten a case of that kind on club
barber the association would take the
necessary steps to prosecute him.
The committee on picnic was granted
weeks time to collect all unso1d tickets
and make its report.
There were number of members who
had not attended meetings for some time,
and ex-President Klitsch stated that he
was glad to see that there is renewed in
terest in the organization and its work.

PASSING OF A LANDMARK
The Quaint Little Cottage on
Eddy Street Is Being
Torn Down.
BUILT IN ST. AIMS VALLEY.
In the March of Progress the Will
liams' Home Stood Alone
Amid Trees.

The quaint little cottage on the south
side of Eddy street, between Market and
Mason, that has stood for years out
of mind as an object of much curiosity and
as landmark of the good old days in San
Francisco, has reached the end of its his
tory, and before another week passes will
be only memory. The landmark will be
demolished this week to make way for the
march of progress, represented in this par
ticular case by two-story building stretch
ing from Market street, Immediately op-
posite Fifth street, clear through to Eddy,
opposite the opera-house.
There is one pathetic feature in the pass
ing away of the cottage. One of it's former
owners, old William Williams, who first
made it his home when young man, lost
his reason years ago. The law declared
him an incompetent person and the prop
erty, half of a 50-vara lot and the house,
passed into the name of Francis Williams,
his brother. But William lived on as be-
fore--a harmless old man, whom the
neighbors regarded as a ''crank," He
could never bear the familiarity of small
boys, or big ones for that matter, with his
front fence, nor could he brook strangers
visit to his home, which had become part
of himself. And SO when the home and
its trees, that he had watched with singular
solicitude for so very long time, became
estranged by the signing of legal docu-
ment, he was filled with the hallucination
that his own end was near.
''When | leave that house." he would
say to the neighpors, II shall die.'
And when he did move out last Friday,
greatly against his will, and took up his
abode in a strange place with his brother,
he returned to the cottage, wondering why
he was not dead. The greater part of
Saturday and Sunday he spent around the
old home, and yesterday saw him there
almost every hour in the day. He could
not understand why the materials in the
adjoining stoneyard should be carted away
with piles of old lumber from the rear of
the cottage.
The little house has had an interesting
history, though whatever interest may
attach to it was altogether through associa-
ton. In 1856. when San Francisco proper
was town nesting under Telegraph Hill,
and had its suburbs as far southwark as
Happy Valley, now Market and Second
streets and around there, the Williamses
built their home on Eddy street. But there
was no Eddy street then, not even trail.
The cottage was put up in st. AIMS Valley,
which lay along Eddy and Ellis streets,
stretching westward toward Franklin
street. Only clusters of chaparral and
liveoak grew upon the sand dunes, though
all around the Williams house there were
ponds and marshy places. There was not
another dwelling in st. AIMS Valley in
that early timeand the Willlamses had to

backed off Fisherman's wharf yesterday.
After much hauling of ropes, gesticulation
of arms and sounds of tongues the wagon
was saved from watery grave, but the
animal is still in the bay.
The officials in remeasuring the steamer
Portland yesterday made a discovery
which demonstrated how wonderfully the
old smuggling vessel was built for her
former shady transactions. When Chaun-
cey st. John, the official measurer, and
his assistants had carefully worked their
tapelines around her forehold they came
aft and found a mystery. There was
great discrepancy in the interior dimen-
sions that could not at first be accounted
for. After close examination false decks
and bulkheads were found which con-
cealed a large secret apartment fitted up
with hunks for sleepers, and down near
the bottom were found secret lockers for
opium. When the Portland, then the
Haytian Republic, was strangely fitting
over Puget Sound, few years ago, run
ming Chinese and opium across, these hid
den places were utilized. The vessel then
became famous in one of the greatest
smuggling cases of the century, and which
is yet dragging through the courts. The
discovery Of this increase of carrying
capacity caused the raising of the steam.

would pass bills in cases in which home
products had not been given an equal op-

In accordance with call issued by the
Board of Trade of San Jose, mass-meet-
ing will be held at Turn Verein Hall in
that city next Saturday afternoon. 1t will
be under the auspices of the Manufactur-
ers' and Producers Association, a number
of members of which will address the
meeting. The association yesterday sent
out 800 invitations to producers and manu-
facturers of Santa Clara County in. the
hope of securing large attendance and of
interesting them in the work of the associ-
alton. The association hopes as result of
the meeting to enlist in its membership
every manufacturer and producer in Santa
Clara County. The speakers who will go
from here will be Messrs. Hugh Craig,
Julian Sonntag, M. McGlynn and DR.. Ju-
lius Koebig. The association will endeavor
to send delegation of at least 100 of its
local members to take part in the meeting.

THE HOME INDUSTRY IDEA,
Politicians Who Get State
Offices Must Favor Home
Products.
Manufacturers'A Association Secures
Governor Budd's Promise to
That Effect.

The Manufacturers and Producers As
sociation scored strong point yesterday
in its effort to develop the industries of the
State. 1t was in securing promise from
Governor Budd that he will hereafter ap-
point only such men to Office as are favor
able to the purchase of supplies from home
manufacturers, and that he would use his
utmost endeavor to have all State institu-
tions favor home products in making pur-
chases.
"A committee of the Manufacturers and
Producers Association, composed of w. f.
Bowers of the Bowers Rubber Company,
George E. Dow of the Dow Steam Pump
Company, and Robert Moore of the Risdon
Iron Works, waited on the Governor yes
terday and secured his promise, as stated.
The committee, in presenting its case,
showed schedule of supplies purchased
for the Glen Ellen Home of Feeble
minded Children, containing in the
list many Eastern goods, such as
canned corn, starch, soap, soda, ETC.,
all of which, it is claimed, could be
purchased at home at equal advantage as
in the East. When the authorities at the
home had been asked for their reason for
this they explained that only bids in COM
pIeted schedules were considered. AS the
home bidders could not supply everything
required their bids were returned.
Governor Budd promised to remedy the
matter as far as lay in his power. and said

THE GOVERN OR'S BUSY DAY.
The Chief Executive Receives at the
California-AfiIiated Colleges Mat
ters Considered.

Governor Budd spent busy day con-
sulting with party leaders and receiving
visitors at the California Hotel yesterday.
So busy was he that the military Board of
Location was not able to secure time for it's
meeting as announced.
Five members of the Board of Regents,
Messrs. Cole, Beckett, Marye, Kellogg and
McNutt, conferred with the Chief Execu-
tive concerning the use of Folsom granite
in the new building for the Associated Col
leges. A law passed by the last Legisla-
ture requires that the State prisons be run
whenever possible for the benefit of the
other State institutions. AS the Affiliated
Colleges is a State institution the prison
must supply the stone at the actual cost of
getting it out. This Will reduce the cost of
material from 60 to 75 per cent. 1t is pro-
posed to bring the granite to this ity in
huge blocks SO that convict labor shall not
enter into the competition. The state-
ment was made that such an arrange
ment would be perfectly satisfactory to the
laboring men.
|. Steuart Menzies and Attorney Clemens
discussed with the Governor the briefs on
the appeal in the Gunst removal case
which were submitted to the Supreme
Court on the 9th of the month.
Chairman Field of the executive COM
mittee of the Yosemite Valley Commission
called to discuss needed repairs and sup
plies and consider how pooling in stage
lines and hotels is to be prevented. The
conference was a long one, for the Gov
ernor is thoroughly acquainted with the
valley and its needs and is determined to
stop all pooling.

pay their respects. Congressman Mcguire

then full ffty-vara lot was valued at
$500.
But such has been the change in forty
years that ffty-vara lot on Eddy street
near the Williams cottage is worth over
$100, 900 now.
The Williamses received handsome sum
for their holding-more than they will
ever need in supplying their simple habits
of life. They have bought some land in
Mill Valley, where neat cottage is to be
built, and the two aged brothers can live
in ease and comfort for the rest of their
days.

VALLEY ROAD CONTRACTS.
Directors Decide on Switche es and Bridge

Directors Decide on Switch es and Bridge
Irons for the First Division
of the Railway.
The directors of the San Francisco and
San Joaquin Valley Railway met yester-
day at 321 Market street. Their principal
work consisted of paying bills for supplies
and awarding contracts for building ma
terial.
Three California firms secured the con-
tracts for switches and all necessary IRON
work for bridges and switches for the first
division of the railroad. Several bids were
submitted by local manufacturers for
switches and frogs to be used in the road
as far as the Stanislaus River and the con-
tract was awarded to the Risdon Iron
Works. A contract for bolts was made
with the Payne Bolt Company and
another one for castings and drfftbolts for
trestles and bridges to the rolling-mills.
Quite large number of bills for spikes,
ties and bolts were presented to the board
and they were paid. So far all the ma
terial received by the Valley road has
been paid for in accordance with the
terms of the various contracts, which
allow liberal discounts for cash.
Everything was in readiness yesterday
at Stockton to begin construction, which,
In fact, has been under way for some little
