SPIRIT OF THE PRESS.

The organized unemployed in San Francisco
the other day adopted resolution not TO work
for less than 81 80 nor for more than eight
hours day. It's a mighty good business that
can pay that sort of wages these times, and the
herolsm OF these men viii be thoroughly ap-
preclateo by those who are working In the
san Joaquin Valley ten to twelve hours day
for so cents and board and glad to get it..
whoever has sympathy to extend will let it go
out to these, rather than to those who, out OF
WORK, throw down SO exacting an ultimatum.

THE DONAHUE FOUNTAIN.
Chief Sullivan Asks Why 1t Is Not
Yet Erected.
The Fire Committee Orders the Purchase
Of Fifteen New Horses for the
Department.

The Fire Department Committee of the
Board of Supervisors yesterday ordered
fifteen new horses purchased for the use of
the Fire Department at price not to ex-
coed $3.50 each. Chief Sullivan stated to
the committee that six horses in the de-
partment had recently died from liver dis
ease and number of others were old and
practically unfit for active duty. In many
OF the companies he was compelled to use
three horses instead of two. Altogether
there were forty horses which should be
sold and their places taken in the depart
ment by fresh stock. On his recommends
ton the committee ordered fifteen horses
purchased.
Chief Sullivan also called the attention
OF the committee to the fact that the Dona-
hue estate had as yet done nothing toward
erecting fountain at the gore lot on the
corner OF Battery and Market streets.
About a year ago the Supervisors set
aside portion of that lot for the erection
OF fountain TO illustrate the mechanical
arts, the late Meryyn Donahue having left
5000 in his will for that purpose. Since
the. Supervisors set aside the property
nothing has been done. Chief Sullivan
said that he was in favor of the city taking
back the lot and devoting it to the uses OF
the Fire Department, as it was originally
intended. He thought good engine
house could be erected on the site, or a
house for the water tower. The committee
were not familiar with the circumstances
OF the case, and resolved to postpone action
for sixty days in order to investigate,
Chlef Sullivan was directed to furnish
any hose not In use, which he could spare,
for the branch County Jails.
