SHE LECTURED ON BEAUTY.
SO the Baldwin Crowded to Hear
Mime. Yale.
Many Prominent Women We're Present,
and Opera.Gasses We're Greatly
in Demand.

1t seemed as if every woman in San
Francisco had resolved to get into the
Baldwin Theater yesterday afternoon to
hear Nine. Yale's lecture ON beauty and
physical culture. There were society bellies
and matrons, philanthropic women and
women who take an interest in church
work. Those who could not get seats stood
in the aisles, and those who had no opera
glasses borrowed them from their neigh
bors.
The number of society bellies present was
something remarkable, and the gowns worn
were more dressy than is usual at q
matinee. 1t seemed indeed as if the spark
ling, elegant audience had resolved to
show that there was beauty in the land.
When Nine. Yale appeared on the stage,
the house seemed to bristle with opera
glasses, all the eyes behind them being
eagerly engaged in viewing the lecturer
from the tip of her curly blonde head to
the points of her little white shoes. There
was soft murmur of voices as she bowed
before the footlights "She's young; she
cannot be old" ''They say she is ~.
''Nonsense, she looks about 25." "That's
wig she has on; it's too thick to be her
own hair"
marks reached Nine. Yale's ears; but later
in the proceedings she certainly confided
that her age was AZ. She also tugged hard
at her curly hair, thereby proving that it
was the growth of her own head, a fact
which she said many people doubted
AS she began to speak, the opera-glasses
were still watching her, examining every
line of her face and form and costume.
She was dressed in pale green MORE silk,
with four magenta velvet bows on the right
hip and four bows to match above the left
shoe. The corsage was trimmed with a
diagonal band of MORE velvet, and the
sleeves were full and short The women
in the house whispered that the gown had
come from Worth, and most of them
stamped it with their approval.
Nine Yale proceeded to cheer her hearers
by telling them that they could all learn to
look young and beautiful, and that the
first step toward this wished-for consum-
nation was to attain perfect health.
''If you want to be beautiful you must
think you are beautiful she added, and
some of her hearers murmured "That's
Christian science" Their minds were
soon disabused of that idea, however, for
the directions with regard to amounting

laid; the awarding of the contract for fur
nishing bituminous rock to the city at
$4 80 a ton.
The resolution awarding Mary Dillon
$4,000 for damage caused to her property by
sewage from the City and County Hospital
was referred back to the Judiciary Com
mittee.
An order was passed allowing F. W.
Dohrman of the Merchants Association
$6144 for sweeping and cleaning the public
streets during December.
Before the board adjourned Supervisor
Taylor, chairman of the Finance Commit
tee, begged the privilege of making few
remarks upon the present financial con-
dition of the city. He said:
''Our city finance is in very unsatisfac-
tory condition. There is large amount
of floating Indebtedness, quite equal to so
per cent in excess of our bonded debt of
$255, 900, for which there is no provision
made to pay, and it is difficult to say how
it can be liquidated, if it can be done at ALL
There will be demands upon US for which
there will be no funds to pay, growing out
of recent street contracts.

CROKE'S DEFALCATI0N.
Superintendent Ackerson Makes Good
the Shortare

AS a result of Deputy Croke's expert
manipulation of the funds under his con-
troll during Street Superintendent Acker-
sons incumbency, the latter yesterday paid
in $4,000 to Superintendent Ashworth. 1t
is thought that this amount will cover the
defalcations of Croke. The money did not
belong to the city, but was owed to city
contractors, who left various sums on de-
post in the Street Superintendent s office
for permits. These sums ranged from $50
upward. and Croke helped himself when
ever he felt inclined.
All those contractors who have their per-
mits and certificates of deposit can get their
money by presenting these credentials at
the Street Superintendent's Office. Super
intendent Ackerson was personally respon-
sible for the money, and made every cent
good. Crokes trial will come up to-day In
the Police Court.

Another Name Given to the Man
Found at the st. Dayid's.

No one has as yet identified the man
who was asphyxiated in room of the st.
David's House on Saturday night last.
He is thought to have been an Austrian.
Several letters, written in Italian, were
found on him. They were addressed to
George Glasar and signed Maria Glasar.
A picture found on the body was that of a
young woman, presumed to be his sister,
Maria. In one of his pockets was a card
with the name of Frank N. Krstelj printed
on it.
The man was evidently traveller, as
some of his letters came from even remote
parts of Africa.

RIBoT SUSTAINED.
A Government Bill Passed by the FrencI
 Legislators.


 PARIS, Jan. 29.-In the senate and in the chamber of deputies the first message of President Faure was read. Then the chamber of deputies passed the amnesty bill by an overwhelming majority. and the government defeated the first attack made upon it by the opposition.
 It was noticed yesterday that the news papers were less hostile in their utterances in regard to the Ribot ministry, but M Goblet it was announced persisted in his intention to promptly interpellate the gov .ernment, demanding precise declaration in regard to its general policy. and at the samo time it became known that he and his group of followers had seeded from Ribot's supporters This action was taken on the ground that NJ. Goblet and his friends were not consulted during the ministerial crisis
 Consequently the chamber of deputies was crowded on the reassembling of that body, and the public and diplomatic gall leries were packed with interested specta- tors. aS
 NJ Ribot, tho new premier read the presidents message in the chamber of dep uties, and NJ. Trarieux, the minister of justice, read it in the senate.

The Road Movement In Missouri.

The Missouri Roads Improvement as- sociation at a recent meeting decided for the present to recommend only for the consideration of the legislature the change of time in commencing work on roads and tho paying of the poll tax in cash into the general revenue fund, and that the work bo done by hired labor under the direction of an overseer. In support of this it is urged that coerciye labor is distasteful. People do not relish working out a poll tax under the direc- ton of boss, while hired help would expect nothing else. and better results would follow; also cash poll tax would double the amount of available reyenue.
