WILL co TO SANTA CRUZ,
The Half Million Club Has a
Special Train for the
Fiesta.
Members and Their Friends VIII
Attend the Festivities in
Body.

The executive committee of the Half
million Club held short but important
session yesterday afternoon. Boulevards
were what agitated the meeting more than
anything else, for the committee on boule-
wards, parks and streets made its report,
and several recommendations regarding
the boulevard idea were embodied in it,
Some days ago the boulevard committee
suggested, by resolution that the Super
visors be asked to appropriate $4,000 for
maps and statistics on boulevards gen
orally and the proposed ones to be laid
| in and about San Francisco particularly.
This suggestion was taken up by the execu-
tive committee, and it was decided to drive
it along. The boulevard committee will,
therefore, by the authority of the execu-
tive committee, present the matter to the
Supervisors and will try to secure the
$4,000. twas decided to notify the Super
vlsors that the executive committee had
approved the resolution of the boulevard
committee, which in turn approves the
Folsom-street improvement.
This places the club on record as approx
ing both recommendations, and all the in
t1uence possible will be brought to bear to
see them carried out.
lie HcSld COlIlLulbte6 Vi Uue CluD reported
| that arrangements had been made to pro-
cure a train of seven Pullman sleepers to

| to the great fete at Santa Cruz. The train
Will remain at the seaside city during all
the days of festivity and the passengers
who go will sleep in the Pullman berths
every night while there. Attached to the
| train will be baggage and dining car,
and the train will be run as special and
will be suitably sidetracked when Santa
Cruz is reached. The fare for the trip will

received telegram from Santa Cruz yes
terday announcing that the flag had been
raised on the first timbers in the big
pavilion which the Santa Cruz carnival
committee is building for the grand ball
and for the use of the Half-million Club

ESTHETIC IMPROVEMENTS
Jefferson Square to Be Transformed
From Forest Into an Inviting
Flower Garden.

Jefferson square, bounded by Cough,
Eddy and Laguna streets and Golden Gate
avenue, is undergoing course of improve
ment under the instructions of Charles
Love, head gardener of public squares,
that is calculated to transform it from its
unslghtly resemblance to a dense tract of
forest into vast and attractive garden.
Already the high and wide-spreading
eucalyptus trees that have for years OBJ
structed view of the square from Golden
Gate avenue have been cut down, and only
their stumps, to height of five feet re-
main. These will be overgrown with ivy
and variegated periwinkle, and a most
pleasing sight will thus be presented to
those who drive and ride along the avenue,
while, at the same time, it will be possible
to take a survey of the numerous flower
beds which are to be shortly set out
throughout the square.
There is dense mass of evergreen and
laurel trees In the square midway between
Golden Gate avenue and Turk street, and
work has also been started on these with a
view to thinning them out and heading
them. When this operation is completed
tiest of the smaller parks in the City,
These copses have not heretofore only
obstructed view of the square, but the
shadow cast by them has virtually pre-
vented the planting of flowers. With the
ample sunshine that will now fall every
where it will be possible to grow all kinds
of Towering plants. and full advantage will
be taken of the possibilities. The work is
under the personal supervision of Michael
O'Shannessy, who is the guardian of the
square.

A LAWYER UP A TREE.
The Astonishing Boar Hunt of Attorney
Bonnesteu on the Skagit
River.

The steamer Umatilla arrived in port
yesterday morning from Victoria and Puget
Sound ports. Among her passengers
were c. Z. Bonnestell, the well-known
attorney. and his cousin, II. s. Bonnestell
They left here two months ago for a.
hunting and fishing trip on the Skagit
River.
One day both gentlemen went out in
company with Judge Henry Mcbride and
Dr. f. B. West of Tacoma. They started
for Grandy Lake, and while pushing their
way through the underbrush they came
across wild boar asleep in the middle of
step over the big pig, when his boarship
chase. When the latter got into the
clearing they stood still and laughed at
each other on their precipitate retreat. 1t
was case of dare, - and all hands went
back again to interview the wild hog.
The boar was in hiding, and he charged
on them and scattered them in all direc-
tons. Bonnestell climbed tree and the
boar camped under his perch.
''lf | only had a gum" murmured the
attorney. 81 wonder if boar can climb a
tree"
The pig went to sleep and kept the attor-
ney In the tree for two hours. Then he
got up and sharpened his tusks against the
bark of the tree and walked slowly away.
The attorney crawled down from his
lofty perch, much Inundated, and started
off in the direction taken by his com
panions. Outside the chaparral he met
his friends with about fifty men and BOYS
at their heels coming to his rescue.

HIS LONG TRAMP WEST.
HardShipS Undergone by a
Sturdy Veteran of the
Rebellion.
Was In the Fifty-Fourth New York
Regiment-Wanted a Chance
to Work.

While the Memorial day parade with its
long array of nattily attired National
Guardsmen and its rank on rank of veter-
ans who wore the insignia of patriotism in
many scar and Disagreement, was pass
ing up Market street, an incident occurred
just in front of the gaudy pagoda around
Lotta's fountain which was witnessed by
thousands of people.
In the front row of the spectators stood
| an old man whose hair and beard were
| almost silver white; his attire consisted of
| a shabby coat and vest and a pair of dust
begrimed overalls. A hat which was of
the same color and which had long before
lost all semblance of its original shape,
was drawn down over his brow, throwing
shadow over tanned and wrinkled face
Ii one hand the old man carried canvas
satchel which was held together with a
couple of hayropes.
AS the Grand Army veterans passed him
the old man DOTTED his old gray hat, and
the sun beat down upon his white hairs
until the last parader had gone by. Then
he was lost to sight in the breaking up of
the crowd of spectators. Fifteen minutes
later police officer found the old man
standing on the corner of Geary and Mar
ket streets looking about him in a dazed
manner. He inquired of the officer the
way " tIIC OIby HALL w ueu UOlQ ne
trudged out Market street. Then he met
Police Captain Stone, and told him that
he was weary and footsore, having trudged
miles to reach the City and he wanted
place to sleep in over night. The captain
gave him nickel to ride to the old City
Hall, where homeless ones are taken in
over night.
There the old man revealed his identity.
He said his name was August Muehl, and
that he was one of the original members
OF the Fifty-fourth New York Regiment,
which served with such gallantry through
out the Rebellion. Until recently he had
been in good circumstances, but two years
ago lost everything. Although "a years of
age he decided to go West, and he under
took the journey on foot, working his way
as he went. He told a long story of hard
ships and privations on the road. AL
though he got occasional rides on trains
he walked all the way from Los Angeles to
this City, arriving on Thursday morn
ing, just in time to witness the Me-
mortal day parade. There is nothing of
the tramp about the old man; he was well
treated by the prison officials, and was
given enough for breakfast when he was
discharged at $50 o'clock yesterday morn
ing. Although advised when he left that
he should go to the Veterans Home Asso-
citation for assistance he steadily insisted
that he would first look for work.
Secretary Scoville of the Veterans Home
Association when spoken to about the mat
ter yesterday said that if the old man could
be found or would apply to the association
he would be taken care of.

Comfortable Travelling.

The most comfortable route to the East sum.
mer or winter is the Santa Fe route. The sleep
ing-cars are superior and the meals en- route
are unequale,. There is less dust and no more
heat than on any other line.
popular msbelief is that extreme heat pre-
walls on this line in summer, while the fact is
that the elevation of the whole line insures as
comfortable temperature as can be found on
even the most northerly line. The northern
part of Arizona is the summer resort of the
people of that section, and the Grand CANYON
OF the Colorado is visited in the summer
months exclusively.
The Santa Fe route is first class all the way
through to Chicago. The ticket office is $50

man sleepers run without change from San

THE A. P. MORE ESTATE.
Suit Brought to Determine Who Are
the Rightful Heirs.

The attorneys OF Martha du Val, the
only child of a deceased sister of the late
Alexander P. More, have decided to at
tempt to quash the claims of one J. B.
Quintero de More upon the estate. The
claimant asserts that he is the illegitimate
and sole issue and heir-at-law and adopted
child of Alexander P. More. and as such
claims the whole of the estate.
The plaintiff, who acts under section
1864 OF the Code. alleges that More died
intestate on October 81, 1898, unmarried
and leaving no issue. and that the estate
is ready for final distribution to the heirs
at-law.
She says that J. B. Quintero de More is
j. b. Quintero, the lawful child of Santiago
and Maria Jesus Quintero, and that he
was never adopted nor recognized by the
late A. p. More
Suit is therefore brought against all the
heirs-at-iaw, including the claimant J. D..
Quintero de More, asking the court to de-
eide between the rival claims upon the
estate.

limit of the exemption and make their
purchases accordingly.
Their knowledge of the workmanship
and excellence of weapon is almost ex-
pert. The Winchester carbine and repeat
ing shotgun are their favorites. They ex-
anime them most carefully. They squint
along the barrel, test the lock, scrutinize
closely the stock for breaks or defects of
any kind and want their purchases abso-
lutely without a flaw. On prices they are
as well posted as the manufacturers and
retailers themselves. They are cash Gus
toners, and they want their goods at the
lowest possible figure. With the firearms
they buy large quantities of ammunition,
and then they are ready for business on
the other side. They are keen traders, and
when they display their triumphs of the
foreign devils workmanship they ex-
cite competition and knock the firearm
down to the highest bidder. In Shanghai
and Hongkong the young clerks in the big
teahouses keep lookout for the Chinese
returned from California and get bargain
from them in guns and rifles. A dollar is
large money in China, and profit of 81 so
is regarded as a laudable mercantile trans
action.

BLAZE IN THE BALDWIN,
1t Started i'm the Northwest
CupOla of the Build
ing.
The Lower Rooms Flooded and
Thousands of Dollars Worth
Of Damage Done.
The Baldwin Hotel had narrow escape

The Baldwin Hotel had narrow escape
from fire yesterday afternoon.
a blind fire started in the cupola on the
northwest corner of the building. The
underwriters fire patrol was speedily on
the ground and covered the furniture with
waterproof sheeting. Had it not been for
this the loss would have been very much
heavier
The alarm was turned in at 2:3S P. M.
from box So, but the fire was then under
way for fully half an hour. The servants
located it in the cupola and attempted to
put it out without the assistance of the Fire
Department. All they succeeded in doing
was to food the lower floors and ruin q
large quantity of furniture.
When the iremen arrived it did not
take them long to locate the blaze. They
tore down the plastering and soon had six
streams Of water, playing on the seat of
inner and outside walls, however, and it
was only after an hours hard work that
the firemen were able to say that all danger
was over.
"The fire was very awkward one to
handle" said CAPTAIN Comstock. 1.-THE
damage was heavy and there was no in
surance. 1t is hard to say what was the
origin of the blaze, and we are all at sea
for the present. The cupola was on the
Powell and Ellis street corner of the build
ing and there were two servants rooms
in it,
The Baldwin is remarkably we'll supplied
with lire apparatus. Consequently there
was no difficulty in getting all the streams
required to play on the seat of the blaze
The news spread quickly throughout the
motel and caused a stampede among the
guests. No one was hurt however.

THE CUNNING CHINESE.
Getting Firearms Duty Free Into the

A few days before the sailing of steamer
for the Orient the gunshops do quite a
brisk business with the Chinese. Those
about to return to the Flowery Kingdom
who have saved up some money endeavor
to increase their capital by making point
on the Imperial Custom-house. There is
no duty on weapons of individual owner
ship, or rather each returning Chinese is
permitted to carry into the country a shot

This item of the Chinese revenue law is
known to the Mongolians in California.

AWARDED TO ANOTHER,
The Contract for Prison Supplies Is
Given to Much Lower
Bidder.

At meeting Of the Health and Police
Committee of the Board Of Supervisors
yesterday the contract for supplies for the
City prisons was recommended to be
awarded to Hugo Goldsmith, the lowest
bidder, at 1894 cents a prisoner This is
jected at the last meeting upon motion of
Supervisor Dimond. At that time the bid
of the Pacific Marine Supply Company,
which has had the contract for several
years, was 24.72 cents prisoner. Their
bid of last year-the current year-was
about that of Goldsmith's, and upon those
figures they claim to have lost $1,000.
The Pacific Marine Supply Company
protested against the City readvertising
for bids, and refused to enter the lists to

WHY SHE FORCED THE LOOK.
Affdavits by the Alleged Wife of DR..
James and Others

| In the matter OF the estate of DIR. Charles
A. James voluminous affidavits were filed
yesterday by the attorneys for the alleged
wife, Laura Milen James.
An affidavit of Laura Milen James"
contends that she became the wife of DR..
Charles A. James on January g. 1895, and
lived with him until the time of his death
at 925 Howard street. Mrs. James saws
that she requires the apartments on &C.
count of the state of her health, she being
In delicate condition by reason of her
marriage, and the rooms are necessary for
her quietness and repose.
She explains that she occupied the rooms
as DIR. James widow until one day, being
absent from them, she returned to find a
portion OF them locked, and that she en-
tered upon them under the advice of her
attorneys, George w. Fox and w. II. H.
Hart.
Mrs. James father corroborates the state
ment OF the marriage. He says the only
medicine that he knows that DR.. James
owned was catarrh remedy, the formula
OF which he disclosed to affiant in his life
time. No other secret formula was known
to Mr.. Milen. The catarrh remedy was
his own personal property.
Attorney w. II. II. Hart files the longest
afhdavlt. He denies having entered into
any collision with Attorney j. d. Sullivan
or with Public Administrator A. e.. Freese
in regard to the holding of the premises,
but AYERS that the same had been rented
to Theodore Milen at $50 month under
his advice and in good faith. He believes
that Mrs. James has just claim as widow
OF DIR. James. Mr.. Harris affidavit con-
cludes:
There are many matters which are referred
to in the affidavit of Mr. Shadburne which this
athant is unable to answer, as he has had no
experience in such matters. i. e., as to the
habits of rats in fleeing from sinking ships,
and other matters not necessary to mention
