with great applause by the boys from
the Thirteenth ward.
Mrs. Wells succeeded in getting the
floor long enough to announce that
George l.. Nye had been designated as
temporary secretary and Mrs. Edna
j.. Smith assistant.
The assuming of their respective po-
sitions absorbed all the loose chairs on
the platform and Hill was forced to
retire.
Mrs. Wells was seen to move her
lips as though saying something, and
delegates in rear yelled Louder. This

MORT ON'S SCHEME.
His Payment Of Salaries in Silver
Dollars.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 22.-The recent
payment of salaries at the agricultural
department in silver dollars has called
attention to the fact that on two pre-
vious occasions employees were paid
in gold. The department books show
that on August 81, 1898. $4,000 in gold
was paid to employees, and $500 in
gold was paid to certain employees on
August Is, 1894. in commenting on this
statement, Secretary Morton said that
while under the recent payment there
had been strenuous objections on the
part of those paid in silver coin, the
pevious disbursement of gold met with
no protests whatever. He added that
he would. if necessary, put into actual
practice the proposition to pay two
Mexican dollars for every United
States dollar when the present value
dollar of SO cents was lowered to make
the plan consistent.

On order of business the committee
recommended that the first act be the
election of ten candidates for the lower
house of the legislature; second, the
! selection of five candidates for the
state senate; third, the selection of a
county superintendent of schools, to be
chosen by the precincts outside the
city; fourth, the selection of 157 dele
gates to the state convention; fifth,
the selection of 157 delegates to the
judicial convention; sixth, the election
of a chairman of the county commit
tee; seventh, the election of members
of the county committee, the commit
tee TO consist of two members from
each city precinct and six from the
combined city precincts.
On the matter of apportionment of
delegates to the state and judicial con-
ventions, the committee recommended
that the representation be as follows:
First precinct, % delegates; Second
precinct, 81 delegates; Third precinct,
IL delegates; Fourth precinct, IA dele
gates, and Fifth precinct, % delega ties.
The county at large is to have as, the

VINING rs IMPATIENT.
Aggrieved Over the Delay In Ordering
Folsom Street Paved-The
Bryant Street Line.


General Manager Vining of the Market
street Railway Company expects to have
the Bryant and Brannan-street electric
road in operation with the opening of the
new year, despite the fact that work has
been considerably retarded by the recent
rains. 1t was expected to start cars from
both of the eastern termlnals-Second and
Market streets and the ferry landing
simultaneously, but owing to the neglect
of the Supervisors to order the paving of
Folsom street, the cars will only be put in
operation from the foot of Market street.
They will run along East street to Fol-
som, to Second, to Bryant, to Twenty
sixth, to Mission. From here the return
trip will be made via Twenty sixth, Bry-
ant, Tenth, Brannan. Second, Folsom and
East streets.
According to Mr.. Vining the railway peo-
pie are anxious to begin work on the Fol-
som-street electric line, and feel aggrieved
at the delay of the Supervisors in the mat
ter of deciding upon the pavement for
that thoroughfare. The company has
considerable money already invested in
connection with this line" he said, "and
it is losing interest on this amount CT tied
up capital until the street is ordered
paved, and the work of constructing the
road is thus permitted. When the paving
question is settled it will not take us long
to build the road and have it in operation.
AS the matter stands now a great in
justice is being done the people who live
along that street."

ponderous turrets are still unarmored, and
1t will probably be the last OF February be-
fore the plates for her turrets will be
shipped from the East, and 1t will take a
month longer for them to be placed in po-
sition. -.
Now the question arises, How is it that
the builders of battle-ships upon this coast
90 not build pant in which they can
manufacture their own arinor plates to be
used upon rhe ships which they construct? :?
1t is true that it would necessitate. an out
lay OF about Sc, 600, 600 for the erection of a
proper plant in which to manufacture
these plates, but nevertheless it is evident
from the present attitude Of this Govern
ment that she intends to greatly. enlarge
her navy, and there is no doubt that such
a plant would be profitable in the end.
1t Is not generally known that the first
steel armor plate made solely for the pro-
lection OF war vessels was manufactured
in this City by the Pacific Rolling Mills,
finished by the Union Iron Works, and
shipped to Washington on April 26, 1886,
and through the influence of Senator Le-
land Stanford was placed on exhibition on
the steps leading to the Senate chamber in
the Capitol building.
This great piece Of steel armor, which is
eight feet six inches in length, about three
feet wide, nearly ten inches in thickness
and weighs slightly over 1900 pounds,
while small in comparison with modern
armor. caused no end of comment among
the members of Congress, although they

Especially is this the case after nightfall
During the day-that is, the afternoon
the pampered favorites of wealth drive
languidly from shop to shop, in cab, coupe
or trap, but after the hour when the rict
dine and the poor sup the sidewalks com
mence to fill with hundreds upon hun
dreds of the CIty's working men and
women.
All are on one errand. Rich and poor
alike are looking for presents to be given
to loved ones here or abroad. To be sure,
there may be some difference in the price
and quality of the gifts. Miss Lofty Sc.
lects a dainty gold matchbox for her best
beloved satellite, while poor Molly No.
body buys him god-plated penholder OF
a cigar-case warranted (by the seller) to
be of the finest Russia leather.
The shops are a revelation. Ever since
Christmas was Christmas some sort of ex-
ternal decoration has served as the express
sion OF the interior JOY which according to
the Christian idea should reign in every
heart during the season which recalls the
infant Saviors birth. But here in the
great metropolis of the Pacific Christmas
has always been observed more publicly
and more enthusiastically than in the
Eastern cities. There is not shop, how
ever unpretentious, which has not some
few sprigs of green, relieved by crimson
berries or by punches of natural or artiti-
cial flowers.
Some of the larger shops display adorn-
ments which evince much originality and
taste. Among others large candy store
on Post street has one window which looks
like that of o restaurant. One can see
oysters on the half-shell lamb chops, fried
potatoes, pies, cakes and fruits of various
kinds, all formed of delicious paste COM
posed of crushed almonds.
The dry-goods stores, as might be ex-
pected, display much taste and beauty in
their adornments. One of the principal
establishments on Market street has a
window superbly hung with brocades in
countless hues. The effect is beautiful
fairy lamps here and there bring out in all
their beauty fabrics modelled after those in
vogue century ago.
As on former years the markets vie with
the churches in the magnificence OF their
Christmas decorations. In the larger es-
adjustments stall disputes with stall the
proud distinction OF being the most taste
fully adorned. Box, myrtle, cedar and
redwood, brilliantly relieved by blood-red
berries and by flowers innumerable, serve
to make the mart of chops and steaks a
veritable bower of beauty.
People at home seem to desire that their
abodes put on a festive air in Difference to
the joyous, sacred season. The youthful
vendors of wreaths and other decorations
are plying brisk trade. Their chief mart

of that ancient landmark many is the bar
gain struck between the housewife. rich or
poor, and the little merchant.
Butperhaps what looks most like Christ
mas is the innumerable multitude of the
poorer residents who, unable 10 buy, at
least enjoy the pretty things of earth by
looking at them. Fathers may be seen
who, after hard days work, gladly take
their little ones to see the sights in the
gay. glittering stores.
Perhaps these loving fathers and devoted
mothers may think now and then that
Christmastide would be happier season
were times better; but the peals of joyous
mirth with which their little ones hail
each new wonder serve to keep their elders
hearts from growing sad.
All classes seem to await a merry
Christmas; all seem to look for better
times, to which the holy season is to be the
prelude. It would be hard indeed were
hopes so bright doomed to be dashed to
earth.
