its lease of a large part of its preserves

Hamilton's lawyer appeared in her
behalf, and after considerable discus
sion an agreement was entered into
by which the club is to retain
its shooting privileges on her property for
the next five years. There was great re-
joicing among the nimrods up at the Pa
cifc- Union Club over the result. This
gives them again all the Hamilton, Payne,

SHOULD HAVE METERS.
Mayor Sutro's Views Regarding the
Water Question.

Mayor SutrO's Views Regarding the
Water Question.
Mayor Sutro sent the following commu-
nication to the Board of Supervisors yes
terday, which is an outcome of his veto OF
the authorization of the board for the pay
ment Of the December water bill of the
Spring Valley Water Company:
AS the law of this municipality has charged
you with the distinct duty of fixing water rates
for the coming year and you have the matter
now under consideration, please permit me to
offer a suggestion.
This body has recently received communi-
cation from the City and County Attorney con-
cerning the liability of the city for water for the
parks, etc. Therein he has suggested that the
city must pay, unless il, as a consumer, shall
give notice that the water for certain months
will be discontinued. Now, the solution of the
difficulty is this: In framing the new ordinance
for the yearly rates let it be provided that in
all cases where companies furnish water to the
city fOr parks that they shall be required i'm
mediately 70 put in water meters, and that the
same shall be under the inspection of some
official, whose duty it shall be to weekly report
the amount of water used.
This viii clearly place the city under obliga-
tion TO pay for that of which it has received
the benefit and eXonerate it from paying for
that which il has never received.
In other words, it will pay summer bills and
escape payment of the winter bills

Good Goyernment Club.
Stricken With PARALYSIS.
BERKELEY.

A meeting of citizens was held at Lorin
Hall Wednesday evening to discuss the
charter now before the electors. The gen
eral sentiment was strongly in favor o
the new charter, and three cheers were
given for it at the close of the meeting
Professor William Carey Jones first spoke
Professor Jones was chairman of the Board
of Freeholders and is one of the Town
Trustees, and his remarks were listened tc
with attention. He reminded his audience
that it was necessary for each one to lay
aside some of his own hobbies if the gen.
eral purpose of the charter pleased him
otherwise no charter could be carried
John Gelder spoke against the charter
urging that it would greatly increase the
expense OF town government Trustee
Whiting also spoke against the charter
Reuben Rickard, H. l.. Whitney and
Trustee Stubenrauch spoke strongly in
favor of it.
Dairy Inspection.
In his latest report, Health Officer Rowell
calls attention to the need OF supervision OF
diaries in order to insure pure milk. He
points to the great danger from tuberculosis
being spread by diseased cows milk, and
suggests that the power OF inspection of all
dairies from which milk is sold in town be
given the Health Officer.

THE CHURCH STREET ROAD.
1t Is Considered by the Supervisors
Street Committee.


Street Committee.
The Church-street franchise of the Mar
ket-street Railway Company, from Six
teenth to Ridley streets, is not vet dead.
The Street Committee of the Board of
Supervisors said so yesterday. The fact
that the Consolidated Market-street Rail
way Company has forfeited its franchise
and has given it up by formal consent
apparently cuts no figure in the case. The
property-cwners on Church street want
the electric road to 20 through. The prop
erty-owners on Fillmore street-on the
other side of the impossible hill-also
want the road to run through from south
to north.
When the Street Committee met.it found
facing it petition from property owners
on Church street. This did not stagger the
committee, but when Clerk Russell Of the
Board of Supervisors read q petition from
property-owners on Fillmore street it took
their breath away. These property owners
want the Market-street Railway system to
connect them with the section which lies
south of the hill which intervenes between
Ridley street on the west and Fourteenth
street on the east. All of these people
would like to see an electric or any other
kind of a road run through their back
gards.
But there is hill and this hill will be
surmounted through the skill of Thomas
F. Hagerty, an inventor. Mr.. Hagerty
agreed to explain his invention at the next
meeting of the Street Committee.
One of the noticeable features of the
meeting was that number of Castro
street property appeared and pro-
tested against the granting of the proposed
new franchise.
The committee thought long and hard
over the petitions presented; also over Mr..
Hagerty's plan 1t was finally agreed to
postpone action for one week.

A Doctor Thinks the Coroner Is Pre-

JUDGED Against Him.
The jury that held an inquest in the case
of George w. Peterson was instructed by
the Coroner to find that Drs. Neal and
Hall, who attended the deceased, were in
competent, and the two physicians, as
might be expected, are indignant. "That
verdict of incompetency of the physicians

George w. Peterson" said DR.. J. G. Neal

feeling that some physicians have for every

He alleges in his answer that the $500
was paid out for work done in preparing
for the exposition of January, 1898, it be-
ing after banking hours when the money
was actually demanded of him, and as a
consequence he had not the vouchers to
show for it. He says the directors knew
of the transaction, as did also Horace Will

the money. He also says that his report

DISINHERITED FOR LOVE.
Banker KelIy's Reason for Making No
Provisions for His Youngest Son.

NEW YORK, Jan. THE fact that Eu-
gene Kelly, the millionaire banker left no
provision in. his will for his youngest son,
Robert, has been the occasion of much
gossip. The. World says: There is not the
fantest chance that Robert will contest his
fathers WILL He is perfectly satisfied with
the arrangement. He has been heard to
say that nothing could have pleased him
better. Some have minated that Eugene
Kelly executed his will while angered at
Robert FOR the moment and did not change
it. Such is not the case. Frederick H.
Coudert, Mr.. Kelly's lawyer, said: Robert
was disinherited if such be the term on
account of the great love that the father
bore toward his son. He had pondered
the question and had decided that it would
be for his sons best interests to leave him
nothing directly. OF course, Robert will
not starve. He will continue to live with
his mother and brothers. Robert was pres
ent and was, l believe, the last one that his
father recognized. His father thought the
world of him. The family is firmly united
by bonds of love. l can only reiterate that
what has been done was doneIn the judg-
ment of Mr.. Kelly for his sons best inter-
est Mrs. Kelly, it is said, knew at the
time the will was drawn of Roberts name
having been left out, and agreed with her
husband that it was for the boys good.
If this be SO, Robert may acquire legacy
greater than those of his brothers."
