MRS, LUCY M'CANN'S AIM
Wants to Advertise California
at Atlanta in Proper
Style.
IS A NATIVE OF THE SOUTH.
Mayor Sutro Suggests That the
Chamber Of Commerce Take
Action.

Mrs. Lucy McCann of Santa Cruz, whom
Governor Budd appointed as one of the
two commissioners to represent this State
at the Atlanta exposition, the other being
Colonel A. Andrews, was guest of Mayor
Sutro at Sutro Heights yesterday.
If proper arrangements are made Mrs.
Mccain will probably leave early this
week. She will take with her magniti-
cent collection of stereopticon views of
California scenes if she goes, and intends
to present the advantages and opportuni-
ties of California life with all the eloquence
and grace widow of an honored pioneer
can command.
Mrs. McCann has a double advantage in
being a native of the South. Her birth
place was Bowling Green. Her father,
Warren L. Underwood, represented the
Third District of Kentucky in Congress for
fourteen years. and her uncle, Joseph r.
Underwood, was United States Senator
from the same State for twenty years.
They were Unionists and the rebels were
wont to say "the UnderwoodS had Ken
lucky in their hand"
Abraham Lincoln sent Warren Under
wood to Glasgow, Scotland, as Consul, on
a very important mission, namely. to pre-
vent any more Alabamas from being sent
from the shipyards of the Clyde. There
were six more ships ready to start out on
the business of interfering with American
shipping, but Consul Underwood succeeded
in preventing them from going.
During the war General Buttner con-
demned the home of Mrs. McCann's father
in Bowling Green for military purposes,
and it was soon afterward burned to spite
the Underwoods.
Mrs. Mccain has been in this State since
1857 Judge George F. J. Mccain, her hus-
band was on the Superior bench of Santa
Cruz County when he died two years ago.
She is one of the few lady attorneys of the
State.
"If go to Atlanta" said Mrs. Mccain

fitting to California. have been informed
that a delegation of ladies will meet me

ern hospitality that has become proverbial.
unfortunately, however, the State has
made no provision for anything of the
kind. Governor Budd was sick In bed
when he made my appointment, and the
Legislature neglected to do anything to
cover the incidental expenses naturally en-
tailed by such mission. So far as | am
personally concerned I could get along
very nicely, hut when it comes to doing

THE FREE LIBRARY.
A Change to Be Made in the Style of
borrowers Cards.

A Change to Be Made in the Style of
Borrowers Cards.
Librarian Clark of the San Francisco
Free Public Library will soon introduce a
new system in the library that will prove
of great benefit to borrowers and attaches
in the matter of time, of finding books and
keeping trace of them. In place of the
borrowers card which is now issued, there
will be issued an envelope of stout MANILA
paper. on which will be printed the fact
that the holder is entitled to draw books
from the library. This will be presented
as is the present style of card. Within
each book there will be affixed a paper
pocket, in which there will be a card
giving the number of the book, and
on this will be kept record of the number
of times the book goes out and to whom it
was loaned.
When a borrower calls for book he will
hand in a list of such as he may desire, in
case the first one is not on the shelf.
When one of the list is found it will be
handed to him and he will surrender his
envelope. In this will be placed the card
taken from the pocket on the inner side of
the cover and then the envelope will be
filed away. An examination of the card
will enable the officials to determine at a
glance how long the book has been out
and enable them to, without delay, prepare
delinquent notices. Under the present
system, when borrower turns in list Of
books which may have taken him half
an hour or more to prepare from the cata-
logue, he is required to surrender 1t when
he receives book, and when he comes
again he is forced to spend another half
hour or more in preparing another list.
Under the new system, his list will be re-
turned to him and he can keep it and save
himself the trouble of making another
until he has secured all the books on
his list.
Mr.. Clark has also in view the prepare
ton of small handbooks that will contain
list of the best books of fiction, of travel
and other classes of work. Under each
title will be brief review of the work. By
this means the borrower will have an
opportunity to know what kind of book
be would like to draw from the library.
If this is adopted, it will prove of great
value to the patrons of the library.

courage or His Convictions.
The editor of the San Francisco CALL
certainly has the courage of his convic-
tons. In a recent issue he says:
Los Angeles, having handsomely provided
for an exhibit at Atlanta, is now making
preparations for grand festival next spring,
and in the meantime San Francisco continues
to play the role of passive spectator.
1t is refreshing to find one paper of the
northern metropolis that has the courage
to speak right out in school and tell the
truth, even though by speaking the truth
it shames the San Franciscan. That City
has too long played the part of the "pas-
sive spectator" Meantime Los Angeles
has played the part of the active participant
in all events and undertakings which would
advance the interests of Southern Califor-
MIA in general and Los Angeles in particu-
lar, either commercially or socially. A
short drive about the city will convince the
most skeptical that our people are any,
thing but passive spectators"
THE CALL has been paying considerable
attention to this city in the way OF inves-
tigation and placing before the public ac-
curate information as to our resources and
industries. The articles have been we'll
written and to the point-Los Angeles

ton it seems to me that the commercial
and industrial interests here would be best
served by having sufficient means pro-
vided to insure proper and fitting pre-
sentation of them"
Mr.. Sutro was of the opinion that the
neglect of the State to provide the neces-
sary means was sadly indicative of lack OF
foresight. The only way now open, he
thought, was for some of the commercial
or manufacturing bodies to take action.
He believed the Chamber of Commerce
ought to see its way clear to do something
in this direction.

"Who reads an American book?" was
the taunt of literary England century ago.
That sentence, remodeled to suit present
local conditions, would read: "Who reads

ties, exaggerations and suggestions Of

first taunt was killed many years ago by
the facile pens of Irving, Cooper, Haw-

San Francisco commission fruit men
have again been at the work of dumping
hundreds of crates of good fruit into the
bay, because they would neither sell it at
a price low enough to make it go, nor give
it away to the very poor who could not pay
any price at all. So it was wantonly
wasted. Such practices are little short of
criminal, and we should think that severe
condemnation by the San Francisco news
papers ought to diminish the practice, if
not entirely stop it. We look to THE CALL

1t Is Consistent.

The San Francisco CALL declares that it
will encourage the Western author with
his Western theme. THE CALL evidently
does not believe in strong praise and in
dorsement of home industry in its edi-
torial columns and the simultaneous re-
lection of literary home industry from its
literary columns. 1t proposes to be con-
sistent. The other great dailies supply
their readers with French, English and
New England literary bills of fare, but fail
to give US an occasional tonic in the shape
of California literary bacon and beans.
THE CALLS latest example of home en-
couragement in literary matters is the
publication of a short story of mining
