G. G. TERRILL BURIED.
He Is Laid to Rest With impressive
Ceremonies In the Odd Fellows
Cemetery.

The esteem In which the late Charles G..
Tcrrill was held found evidence yesterday
in the large number of friends present at
the obsequies held in Memorial Hall, Odd
Fellows building.
The arrangements for the funeral were
under the direction of Apollo Lodge No.
123, /. .. o. f. The services and address
by Grand Master P. F. Gosbey OF San Jose
were filed with kindly reference to the re-
gard in which deceased was held by the
business community, the affection shown to
his loved ones at home, and the loss that
would be sustained by the numerous or
ganizations Of which he had been an active
member

SWEEPING THE STREETS,
AshWorth and the Merchants
Association Working Hand
in Hand.
Foreman King and Chief Deputy
Donovan Examined District
Together.

Superintendent of Streets Ashworth has
signed articles of peace with President
Dohrmann of the Merchants Association
in keeping the streets clean. Some COM
plaint having been made of Chief Deputy
Donovan's hypereritical examination OF
the work done, the Superintendent decided
to have Mr.. Dohrmann or one of his depu-
ties accompany Mr.. Donovan in his srounds.
Accordingly, Mr.. Ashworth addressed the
following letter to Mr.. Dohrmann yester-
day:
SAN Francisco, July II, 1895.

company my chief deputy, A. J. Donovan, over
the route scheduled for sweeping and cleaning
the public streets for last evening" as he has ex-
amined the work done and does not desire to
pass final judgment upon the same until an
opportunity be afforded you to inspect the
same.
If, as result of said inspection, you are sat
isfied that the work has been properly DONE I
shall be pleased to abide by the expression OF
your good judg ment in the premises. Mr.. Dor

yourself with horse and buggy, for the pur-
pose aforementioned.

Mr.. Dohrmann acted on the suggestion
at once. He could not 60 himself, so he
sent Foreman King in his stead.
1.-THE district examined" said Chief
Deputy Donovan yesterday, twas west OF
Drumin street and north of Pacific. We
found three blocks which were very
badly done and three more which hardly
came up to the standard. On Battery
street, between Broadway and Vallejo;
on Front street, from Union to Filbert,
and on Front street, from Pacific to Broad
way, piles of dirt were found in the street.
Mr.. King condemned the work, and lie
also said that the men were deserving of
censtire for not bearing more heavily on
the brooms and for skimming the dirt. OF
course allowance must be made for the
streets which are paved with cobbles. Mr..
Ashworth wants Mr.. Dohrrnann to send
one of his representatives with me every
day, and by doing so all question as to the
merit of the work done can be hereafter
avoided

the Lyceum Theater is doing very good

Henry Arthur Jones' play, "The Case OF
Rebellious Susan" which runs all this

mans players interpret it. The play has a
fiimsy plot and no very striking situations
but it is fully redeemed by remarkably
bright dialogue and well-drawn characters

could be more democratic than these
gatherings OF the people at the White

a week during the winter, those on

being less formal in character. A ma

Women and Decorative Art.

You know that, delicate as n womans
hand is, there are many extremely delicate
forms of work in which men will surpass
her. AS l am painter, talking in the
studio, let me take the case of the making
of the finest brushes for painting. The
best of these are made by the workmon,
not by the workwomen. This, apart from
the recognized function of woman in our
social state, which may make her less
anxious to succeed, belongs also probably
to lesser faculty of concentration, not In
individuals but in women as we usually
find them. But in all the minor divisions
of art | can see no reason why women
should not, even more than in the past, do
work of great merit, and often of a pecul
lar charm.
Therefore in art decoration the women
ought to find a fair field, usually, how
ever, a field better occupied when they do
not direct. If in decoration they could
take as much interest and show aS much
artistic skill as they show in trimming
their bonnets, we should have the whole
standard of decorative work raised III a
high plane. Art Interchange.
