the absence of the crowd of hard

of the old sporty days, however, and
several solid-looking men were

service would be from the regular San Ma
teo County source of supply by means of
a big water main. In consequence the
property-owners of that neighborhood are
jubilant IN the anticipation of general
building boom.
Treasurer Bahrt analysed the position of
Holly Park yesterday afternoon, when he
said:
We have been very unfortunately situated
All our calculations have been based upon
having fine park, yet we were always met
with the response whenever we pressed the
park matter, GAS long you have no water
you can have no park" and when we went to
you have no buildings to speak of, and it won't
pay us to put in any water service" OF course
propert y-owners did not see their way clear to
build unless there was some immediate pros
peet of water.
There are about 1900 families living around
here all having to make the best shift they
can to get enough water to meet their wants
month, and many of them are compelled to
leave their buckets stand over night in their
cellars under slowly dripping faucets to get
any water at all. Some more fortunate
and enjoy sufficient pressu re for flow OF water
in their kitchens, but the pressure is not
enough TO give water any higher than that
Naturally these families are called upon to
help out their many less fortunate neighbors.
In case OF fire any effort to throw water on to
the roof OF even a one-story building would be
simply out of the question Wienholz' place
and Patrick O'Brien's building were burned

could no doubt have been easily saved.

THROAT PARALYSIS.
From the Courier. Herald. SAGINAW. Mich.

1t was publicly talked all over Clare County,
Mich, for some time before the Courier-Herald
sent a reporter TO Dover TO fully Investigate
the Coulter matter. He finally went ana
publish to-day his full report. The Coulters
are prominent peoble, though Mrs. c. in re-
spouse TO the question whether she objected to
being interviewed said. Certainly not" Her
story follows:
"Ahout fourteen years ago we decided to
take up our abode in Dover, and everything
went along smoothly for several years, busl-
ness progressed, and beng of a saving tenn
permanent we accumulated quite an amount.
Our family increased as the years rolled by,
and we now have five children living, the old

into our household, and doctors bills flooded
upon US, until we have nothing left but our
home and these sweet children. Everything
went to satisfy the claims of physicians.

any any, number of people anxious to build who
will start in to do so whenever they see good
water prospects.
Messrs. Poole and Bahrt are inclined to
the opinion that the park improvement
has been very poorly conducted in the
past, and they lay the blame for that
largely upon the last incumbent of the
they think, was graded so as to benefit the
property belonging to the Fair estate on
the north side, and with little regard for
that owned by Woodworking men to the
southwark, and the $1,000 already spent
upon the plat ITSELF they say, was practic-
ally thrown away, as there seems to be
nothing to show for it.
The intention is to have an artistic stone
wall or bulkhead surround the park, and
steps leading up at every entrance, but
that idea could wait, says Mr.. Poole, a
temporary sloping down, or winding off,
of the present steep sides, being all that
would be necessary just now. Other resi-
dents, though, are not so easily satisfied.
There is some complaint as to the progress
Contractor Smith is making in the grading
and widening of Mission street. Mr. Bahrt
says he is blowing up the entire roadway
for nearly mile, almost to the Six-mile
House. rendering it almost impossible for
teams, and yet without making any great
Roadway. For fear that the contractor
might apply for an extension of time, Mr..
Bahrt threatens to circulate petition pro-
testing in advance.
The progress of this improvement is of
vital concern, now that some definite
promise of an adequate service has been
given by Mr.. Howard-that is, if water
cannot be obtained from any other source
than the San Andreas and Pilarcitos reser-
voirs, or by any other route than along the
Mission artery.

PLAN OF HOLLY PARK.

OF the Holly Park Improvement, Club with
n. G. Wienholz, president; Thomas O'Neill,
vice-president; Ed Poole, secretary, and
Martin Bahrt, treasurer. AT every meet
ing these matters have been discussed with
great deal of enthusiastic unanimity, and
an executive committee was chosen to look
after the park, while a special committee
was selected to confer with the Spring
Valley Water Company.
Secretary Poole and some other mem
bers OF the executive committee have laid
the park matter before the Committee on
Streets of the Board of Supervisors, with a
ready champion in Supervisor Hobbs.
They'asked for an appropriation of $40, 600
to be expended the coming year. Some
slight objection came from Supervisor
Benjamin, who thought the $10,O 900 would
be simply thrown away unless water could
be secured, and for while the prospects
W ere not encouraging.
The water committee, however, con-
tinued tugging away at the Spring Valley
Company, with the timely assistance of
Thomas Magee, and is finally about ready
to report an assurance from the company
that liberal sup ply of water is only a
question of very little time.
It was Mt first supposed water could be
supp lied from the Clarendon Heights res
ervoir, but Messrs. Poole Wienholz and
Pielhop-the mmittee-held consulta-
ton with President Howard and Mr.. Ma
gee yesterday, learning differently. Mr.
Howard would have paid the park a visit
but for Engineer Schusslers absence He
promised to arrange for service as soon
as the Improvements on Mission street,
near the Six-mile House, would approach
completion, and informed them that the

self for His Inven-
ton.

Other things besides streetcar tenders
were discussed by the Health and Police
Committee of the Board of Supervisors
yesterday morning, but the streetcar
fender was not forgotten. 1t was decided
to recommend that the streetcar companies
adjust some of the devices presented at the
recent fender exposition and put them to
the actual test. The Markley device.
which gives warning before going into
action, was particularly favored. This is
possibly accounted for by desire on the
part of the members to see Mr.. Markley
PROSTATE himself before it, the car going
eight miles an hour, as he promised to do.
A communication from Mrs. Florence
Percy Matheson ct al, 1415 Twenty-third
street, was read:
wish to call the attention of your honorable
body to blemish upon the beauty of our City,
disagreement which is daily eyesore to a
large number of her citizens and the cause of
much unfiattering comment from the strangers
within her gates. l refer to the advertisement
which surmounts one of our western hills and
also in immense and glazing white letters is
spread upon its sward. Most of us are proud of
our San Francisco hills With their softly
rounded outlines, beautiful slopes and the
varied cloud effects for which they form
background, and when we see them thus de-
famed through mans greed advertising, to all
who look up the long line OF Market street
that as city the almighty dollar is all we care
for, since such an outrage against public taste
is quietly tolerated, we are forced to most III
dignantly protest against such dissertation
Is there no way in which this fragrant and in
furious nuisance can be abated?
BY direction of the committee Clerk
Russell inscribed upon the back of this
letter the following sympathetic note of
regret:
1t appears that enterprise and rivalry in
business and the compensation paid to owners
OF lots for the privileges protested against
outweigh all artistic considerations, and it is
to be regretted that the board has no power
to prohibit such displays so painful to the eyes
of the lovers of the beautiful.
The necessity of providing suitable
building for the treatment of smallpox
patients of sufficient capacity to accommo-
epidemic was discussed, and the recon-
mendation made that the Finance Com
mittee provide the sum of 5000 for that
purpose in the next tax levy.
A recommendation was made that the
Board of Police Commissioners be en-
powered to make provision in the next
fiscal year for eight additional mounted
police for the outside districts.
A resolution was proposed in favor of
authorizing the purchase of buggy at an
expense not to exceed 5000, also single
of jail 2, and two horses for the prison van,
after July l, 1895.
1t does not appear that any baking pow
der, when presented in competition with
the Royal, either at the Government tests
or before Worlds Fair juries, has ever re-
ceiyed favor or award over the ROYAL or
made an equal showing in purity, strength
or wholesomeness.

police would come up here and raid the

Eli go downstairs and get them for you"
Mr.. Reynolds locked his desk and in
vlted his visitor out into the hallway,
after which he turned the key in his
door, and then went downstairs by the
back way. He went to the bank, opened
his box in the vault Git costs him only $4 a
year, and it is safe from the police. took
out four two-bit tickets, and brought them
upstairs to the young man who was
waiting.
The tickets were in an envelope. Mr..
Reynolds led his visitor into the darkest
corner of the corridor, looked around to
see ii any one was in sight, and then
hurriedly slipped the small envelope into
the young mans hand in exchange for
a silver dollar.
''rhe drawing is July g." he said. "On
the 9th or 9Th you'll see the list advertised
in the Examiner. Come and see me next
month. Good-day, SIR
And the next morning Mr.. Reynolds was
arrested for selling what 'purported to be-
lottery ticket. The wording of the law
in this respect is fortunate, or else Mr.
Reynolds and his fellow-rascals might es-
cape the penalty of conviction by frankly
admitting that the tickets sold were not
lottery tickets. Such plea would be true
enough in this case, but Prosecuting At
torney Dare, under whose direction the
warrant was drawn, says the law has been
tested in that respect. And even if it had
not the chances are that Mr.. Reynolds
would rather pay his fine than admit
openly that his tickets were fraudulent
The case is set for next Wednesday in
Judge Joachimsen's court. Mr.. Reynolds
said yesterday that he would plead guilty
