OLD MAN sAVARIN.

The author of this book calls his sketches
"Off-hand Stories" They are entirely too
good to be so designated. They bear all
the earmarks of careful construction, and
yet, with one or two exceptions, they stop
Just short of actual excellence. These ex-
ceptions are the opening stories in the
book which deal with diverse aspects of
Canadian life. The author, Edward Will
liam Thomson, is himself Canadian, and
writes whereof he knows when he tells the
simple, pathetic and humorous stories of
Little Baptiste, " "Old Man Sayarin" and
''The Shining Cross of Rigaud." "The
Red-headed Windego' is capital tale,
and "Great Godfrey's Lament" is both
powerful and artistic, but most of the
others are rather commonplace. The au-
thor has wisely given US not too much OF
the French Canadian patois, while enough
is indicated to complete the mental picture
necessary to the understanding of the
stories. New York: T. Y Crowell &

Daniel Johnston, the butcher, who was

Yesterday morning he made the follow

met fellow named Jimmie McMullen. We
were friends, and he was very drunk. man

to take McMullen home because he wanted to
close up. We started down Sanchez street to

wanted tamale and a glass OF beer, so
thought it better to let him go to the other
grocery, and he started in advance of me and
hammered on the door. When l saw he was
getting no answer I said, Come back" He
called out: Johnnie, open the door. All
want is a beer and tamale, and will go right
Mullen knocked again. We were standing at
the front door then, when somebody inside
fired pistol and McMullen stepped one way
and went down Twenty-ninth street. stepped
q little back and crossed in the direction of the
grocery diagonally opposite.

so he could see me by looking out OF the glass
door he sent two more shots after me and one
hit me. Instead of going up Twenty-ninth
street l continued up Dolores. | intended

is told in a half-humorous, touch
and-go style very different from the
usual pompous and stilted English of such
"reminiscences. He saw and thought and
experienced a great deal in those fascinat-
ing "days Of gold,' ana he knew both how
to select and how to reject from the treas
ures stored in his mental cache. As a re-
suit his volume of "reminiscences and
sketches make interesting reading. His
were the experiences of an educated man,
whose professional training brought him
into rather different relations with the pio-
neer world than others could know. Not

TO FINISH THE HALL.
City and County Attorney Cres-
we'll Says That a Tax Must
Be in the Levy.
THE DOME IS A NECESSITY.
Disaster of a Possible Fire In the
Roof-Supervisors May Be
MandamuSed.

City and County Attorney Creswen has
addressed communication to the Board
of Supervisors giving it as his opinion that
a 10-cent tax should be included in the levy
this year for the completion of the new
City Hall. He has been requested by the
New City Hall Commission to commune
cate with the Supervisors on the subject
and the following was the glst OF his
letter:
All will agree that the new City Hall should
be completed at as early a date as possible con-
sistent with good workmanship and the pres
ent needs and reasonable future requirements
of the City government. The plan originally
adopted calls for mansard roof. If a mansard
root should be built it should be made habita-
bic as well as ornamental.
The cost OF mansard roof would not be
much less than 81 500, 900.
The present Commissioners think the man.
sard roof unnecessary and that it is advisable
to construct permanent freproof root at
cost added to the cost of the completion OF the
dome) of $320,000. II a tax levy is made this
year the commission Will exercise the discretion
given them by the law of 1895 and place such
roof on the building, declare the building COM
pleted and turn the same over TO the Super
visors as provided by law. This will end the
collection of taxes for the construction of the
new City Hall
If this commission should not be given the
money by the board for this purpose, then the
Board of New City Hall Commissioners sue
advisable to omit the mansard roof. Then the
situation would stand thus: The present COM
mission can and will complete the building
under the law for the tax levy of 10 cents on
each 800, provided by the act of the Legisla-
ture of 1895, amounting to something over
$500, 900, while future commission might,
under the discretion given by the acts of the
Legislature, complete it at cost approximating
81 800, 900.
Ii the levy is not made this year no levy can
be made tor the construction OF the new City
Hall until authorized by new act OF the Leg
islature, passed at some future session.
Mr.. Creswen also calls attention to the
possibility of the attic taking fire in the
unfinished condition of the roof and pre-
diets that if fire ever does start, the en-
tire wooden structure supporting the roof
will go. After Mr.. Cresweu suggests the
action which should be taken by the
board, he quotes the law which says that
it is compulsory on them to act. "It has
been decided many times" says he, "by the
highest courts of the land, that where the
power is given by an act of the Legislature
to subordinate board to levy taxes to
prosecute a matter in which the public is
interested, it is their duty to exercise that
power, and it does not rest in their discre-
ton, and if such board fail to exercise the
power, it may be compelled to do so by
mandamus."

USE HOME PRODUCTS.
The Manufacturers Association Keeps
Up an Aggressive Fight.

Secretary Mead of the Manufacturers
and Producers Association has written a
long letter to Adolpb Eberhardt, secretary
of the Hall Association of the Native Sons
of the Golden West, in which he urged the
Native Sons to patr onize home industries
and products in the construction of their
new building.
There are also several furniture-making
firms in this State which, Mr.. Mead
thinks, should have preference over East
ern makers, quality and price being equal.
The association has sent the following
letter to all its mem bers and to many firms
not members:
The Eastern calendar man" is now in Cali
fornia trying to secure his usual number of
large orders. We appeal to you to keep the
money at home. Patronize home industry,
and this year, at least, give your order to CAL
ifornia printer. If you will have the same con-
sideration for the California printer that you
have for the Eastern man-that is, give him
your order for the same large quantity and
give him the same time in which to get out the
work-we are positive he can compete in price,
quality and artistic merit. Let every calendar
in the State be made in California this year.

HEALTHY SAN QUENTIN
Its Sanitation and Repute for
Fostering Consumption.


Five members of the State Board of
Health, including President J. II. Davis
son OF Los Angeles and Vice-President
Winslow Anderson of this City, inspected
the State prison at San Quentin the other
day and found it a fine place for prisoners
to keep well.
The State Board must inspect all State
institutions annually, and the members
are in the habit of swooping down on
those places unexpectedly At San
Quentin they nosed into everything about
the place, tried the food, smelt the air in
and hunted for places where microbes
might possibly camp.
I'VE were much pleased with Warden
Hale's care for the healthfulness of the
institution" said DR.. Anderson Yesterday,
:The condition was much better than last
year. | had myself locked in some of the
cells and found them sweet, clean and
well ventilated. The only improvement
we could recommend is new kitchen,
which is much needed"
There has been considerable talk about
San Quentin being an unhealthy place,
and one where great many prisoners con-
tracted consumption. Over 80 per cent of
the deaths last year were from this dis
ease. That was one thing the board in
vestigated.
''We found no evidence of consumptive
contagion," said DR.. Anderson, land
found that the most victims of consump-
ton there bring the disease with them.
Warden Hale told of a young prisoner who
was brought there not long ago so far
gone with consumption that he had to be
carried into the prison. He died few
days before our visit. There should be
some other way of taking care of prisoners
iii the later stages of consumption"
