IN .D|REST DEST|TU7|ON,
A Dying Child in Need of the
BareSt Necessities of
Life.
AffIiction and Want In a Broadway
Tenement-Medic Attend
anCe Needed.

Maria Ernondas is little Mexican who
is slowly dying of tuberculosis in crowded
tenement at $50 Broadway.
Childish suffering is the greatest of the
attendant ills of poverty, and the sight OF
the wan face and shrunken form of this
12-year-old haunts the memory of every
one who has seen 1t. For year the little
invalid has not been able to leave her bed
and during that time she had but two calls
from a physician, the last five months ago.
The so-called head, and wretched
browning piece it was, of the family OF
which little Maria is the chief sufferer, put
the finishing touches on a career of indo-
lence and drunkenness by desertion few
weeks ago. "He 60 on steamer, he not
come back" said an officious neighbor.
The mother is in delicate health and I'M
able to go out to work. There are four
children, the youngest a 16-months-old
infant.
A room 8x12, with one small window
serves as home for these five human be-
ings. A cot CANDY tattered lounge,
some shelves containing the few dishes
and scant food; a chair, tub and a box,
in which worn-out CRATE is poor pre-
tense for stove, constitute the furniture,
which, meager as it is. crowds the little
room.
A half loaf of stale bread and two eggs
stood between the family and starvation,
the mother told visitor, and glance at
the shelves confirmed her story. The CEN
trail figure in this picture of suffering is
the dying girl. She may Hnger for weeks.
The remainder of the starved child life
might be rendered far less wretched by
some ''crumbs from the tables of the rich. u
There is no room for the stray bit of hui
mainly in any of the hospitals. What a
revelation clean beds, pure air and sunlit
wards would be to her! There was all of
the pathetic patience of the poor in the
child s smile as she tried to say yesterday
that she was "lip better" 1t is possible
that with proper care and treatment she
might recover, but it is certain that fresh
air, cleanliness, nourishing food and medi-
cal treatment would prolong and brighten
har life

STATE BOARD OF TRADE.
Owing to the Increase of Counties Their
Rooms Are Getting
Crowded.

The State Board of Trade rooms are get
ting considerably crowded. When they
moved into their present quarters nearly a
year ago the only criticism offered by some
of the directors was that the room was too
large Under the new management a
great many new counties have been brought
in, and now the only complaint is that the
room is too small.
Their exhibit is one of the best exposi-
tons of CALIFORNIA; resources ever put up
in the same space in this State, and, grand
and attractive as it is, it is being added to
all the time.
This week two excellent new stands have
been put in place, designed for the ex-
hibits from Sonoma and Contra Costa
counties. Another stand is in course of
construction, intended for Monterey
County.
1t is thought by the management that
Lake Yuba, Siskiyou and San Luis
Obispo will soon put themselves in affilia-
ton with the board and make exhibits of
their products in the boards rooms.
It will be big undertaking to move, and
vet if the boards exhibit continues to
grow and improve in the next year as it
has in the last, they will be compelled to
seek more spacious quarters.
This institution is now in first-rate con.
dition and is doing great deal of work in
the way of encouraging immigration to

FEDERAL GRAND JURY.
-Four Indictments Were Returned in the
District Court by That Body
Yesterday.

The United States Grand Jury was in
session yesterday afternoon and shortly
before O'Clock returned four indictments
in the United States District Court. Two
were against Charles Favor and S. S.
Simon, the socalled cowboy detective"
They were charged with impersonating
revenue officers in Chinatown and obtain
ing money from Monaghan merchants as
representatives of the Federal law.
The indictments are the outcome of the
troubles which the two got into several
weeks ago and which resulted in their ar
rest. At that time they entered Chinese
store on Jackson street, above Dupont, and
after a pretended search for contraband
goods made away with SIS, SO the Chinese
proprietor said, which was in the till An
other store on Dupont street, near Wash

way. There is criminal complaint pend
ing against them for these misdeeds, and a

been heard of her crew.
General Schofeld and party visited the

companying the general were Mrs. Scho-

Lieutenant Schoheld,. w; R. Schofield,
General Forsyth, Colonel Graham and
several other officers and ladies and gentle
men.
The customary salute of fifteen guns
were fired as the swift launch approached
the cruisers side. and the guests were met
on deck by Captain Reed. A very pleasant
hour was spent on board, after which the

The Naval Reserve severed their con-
nection with the big cruiser last evening,
their seven days of 'tencampment" being
up. They went on board last Wednesday
night and ever since some of them, in
Guiding the officers, have remained on the
Olympia. While there is no doubt that
the weeks training has done the amateur
men-of-warsmen a great deal of good, there
is considers dissatisfaction in the ranks.
Only twenty-four hours notice was given
the boys to report on the Olympia and
many of them could not get ready in that
time. Lieutenant Commander Stable,
while regretting the unavoidable shortness
of the notice, is very well satisfied with the
improvement noted in the Reserve.
The Pioneer Yacht Club will hold its
annual meeting Saturday night at Elm

Now that the ferry foundation has been
pronounced strong enough to bear any

the foundation should be paid for out OF
the harbor improvement fund or the

these matters have been submitted to At
torney Ford of the board and Attorney
General Fitzgerald, and a decision is ex-
pected in few days. When all is smooth
sailing again bids on the superstructure
must be advertised for thirty days, and it
will be month easily after that before the
work can be commenced.

SIGHTED THE LOST FJELD,
The EariSCourt Saw a DiSman-
tied Hulk, Supposed to
Be That Ship.
A VISIT TO THE CRUISER
General Schofield and Party on the
Bay-The Work on the Union
Ferry Depot.

A dispatch was received at the Mer-
chants Exchange yesterday, stating that
the British ship Earlscourt had arrived at
Queenstown from San Francisco She re-
ported having passed in latitude degrees
south and longitude 113 degrees west the
hull of iron ship, painted black with
white ports. The vessel had evidently
been on fire.
No date OF the sighting was given, but it
is thought here that it must have occurred
some time in March. The Earlscourt
could not make out the name of the dis
mantled hulk, but the general impression
in insurance circles is that it was the
Norwegian ship Field.
The latter is out from Grimsby go days,
bound for San Diego, and she has not been
heard of since the day she sailed. Some
months ago the German bark Triton ar
rived at Honolulu and reported having

the Judgment must have been reversed and
the cause remanded for new trial; and If it
has not been brought to trial in the Superior
Court the fault, If fault there be, lies at the
door of the District Attorney OF the county
where the cause is pending-a fact which 1t
would seem a Grand Jury ought to know.
In conclusion wish only to add that If this
court shall ever become as reckless of the right

ON THE FOURTH OF JULY,
The Two Bids for Fireworks
Examined in Executive
Session.
The Unexcelled Fireworks Com
pany to Furnish the Pyro-
technic Display.

The executive committee for the Fourth
of July celebration met in semi-executive
session yesterday afternoon to consider
bids for fireworks. Two firms, the Cali
fornia Fireworks Company and the I'm.
excelled Fireworks Company, had been
asked to submit programmes of pyrotech-
mic displays, which they would furnish fol
the stated sum of $1,000, this to include the
expense of firing them. AS it had not been
decided whether the display would be
given upon the water Or upon land two
programmes were received from each
company.
The executive committee first decided
that the fireworks should be discharged, il
possible, from barges on the bay, and ap
pointed Messrs. Hammond, Reichart and
Galloway to investigate the feasibility OF
the scheme, to confer with the Harbor
Commissioners and to report on the best
location for the barges.
This point being decided two pro.
grammes only were considered, though all
were read: The vote on the bids was by
| secret ballot, and in order that handwrit.
ing might not reveal the identity of the
voters the secretary supplied each mem
Der with two ballots.
Ten ballots were cast and the vote stood
six to four in favor of the Unexcelled com.
pany. A motion was then carried that the
contract be awarded to that company il
any fireworks were to be provided at all
The proviso was inserted the same as il
has been in all plans approved by the ex.
ecutive committee to permit modifica.
ton OF the contract in case the funds
raised should not be sufficient for CARVING
out all the plans approved.
The plans so far adopted provide for the
expenditure of between $10,0 900 and SIS, 900
q no ho
quite amount to those figures and some
notifications may be necessary. The
finance committee will meet tomorrow
evening and report what collections have
been made.
The report of the printing committee
was adopted and the contract for the pro.
grammes definitely let to Caspar 81 Co.
who pay $50 for the privilege of PRINTING
them.
The executive committee will meet at {
o'clock Friday afternoon to take final
action concerning the fireworks contract.

Joseph Macdonough, the well-known

afternoon at the hospital of DR.. Julius

Hyde streets. His son, j. OBJ. Macdon-

For several days the millionaire's death
had been regarded as close at hand, and
kilograms were sent to his family inform
ing them of the hopelessness of his con-
dition.
Mr.. Macdonough suffered for number
of years from chronic Inflammation of the
kidneys, but it was only within the last
few days that the disease developed into
the most serious p base of that malady.
