WoMAN's WORK IN STOCKTON.

The ladies of Stockton issued last Sunday
an edition of the Mail of that city, the en-
tire proceeds of which were given by the
proprietors to the new railroad fund. It
goes without saying the edition was bright
and gay enough to give to the stalwart
Hail the appearance of an Easter morning
female, richly garmented and bonneted
out of sight. There was more in the num-
Der, however, than beauty of form and
brightness of style. There was sound
sense, right reason and apt argument ad-
dressed to the people of the San Joaquin
on the greatness of the new enterprise and
the supreme importance of giving vigorous
and well-directed support to it.
On handsomely designed title-page,
the keynote of the tone which pervaded
every article in the paper was struck in
these words:
Progress In her onward march has
opened the gateway leading into the great
valley of the San Joaquin, a territory of
vast resources nd wonderful future posi-
bilities. We hail with Joy the bright dawn
of new era of prosperity, coming with
the buds and blossoms of lovely spring
time, and bringing to the Queen City of
the Pacific Coast the products of an en-
pire."
The flowers of speech in which that key
note is gracefully expressed should not
lead any to overlook the solid strength of
the statement contained in it. 1t is not a
mere matter of verbal elegance to talk of
the new era of progress bringing to the
Queen City of the Pacific Coast the
products of an empire" The competing
road, by breaking up the monopoly of
transportation, will lead to rapid and
varied development of the rich resources
of the San Joaquin, and the resulting
products will be of magnitude that may
be Justly called imperial. San Francisco,
as the great seaport of California, will
gather large profit from the handling of
these products, and in return will afford to
the farmers of the San Joaquin profitable
market for their crops.
1t is clearly evident the women of Stock
ton have true and comprehensive grasp
of the business interests involved in the
construction of the new road. Their work
in this edition proves the fact beyond a
doubt, and the proprietors of the Mdilare
deserving of thanks for giving these
progressive and enterprising women an
opportunity to make their influence felt
throughout the wide field that journal
covers

in Europe have been successfully trans
formed into excellent galleries for the dis
play of pictures, and there is no reason
why this great mansion may not be SINH
larly transformed with equally good re-
suits. 1t will be mere matter of money
and skill to make the alteration, and San
Francisco has plenty of both of these re-
quisites for the task, and can achieve the
work as soon as her wealthy and cultured
classes see fit to undertake it.
The favorable conditions of the exhibit
ton are decidedly creditable to the State
as well as encouraging to art. The number
and the excellent quality of the works dis
played attest the growing development OF
artistic culture in California. The depres-
sion, or falling off, in art work, noted in
recent exhibitions in the Eastern cities, IS
not observable here. On the contrary, our
exhibition shows a marked and praise
worthy advance over those of previous
years. The absence of good light in the
gallery may prevent much of the finer
work from being noted by the visitor, but
none can question that the very presence
of so large number of pictures, represent
ing so many artists of repute and standing,
is ltSelI an evidence CnaG drC Oh tlilS Coaoe
is flourishing as never before.
While the artist must depend mainly
upon the rich to purchase his pictures and
afford him livelihood, he is also affected
to large extent by the attitude OF the
people generally toward his work. There
must be an art atmosphere in the COM
munity as we'll as in the sky, for an artist
to do. all that is possible within him.
Beauty ofland and sea may give the inspira-
ton for art, but it is public approval, ap-
probation and sympathy that must fur
nish him the encouragement and the per-
severance to carry the inspiration into
artistic achievement. For this reason all
who love art, and desire to promote its
production in California, should make it a
point to attend the exhibition. Let US
show popular appreciation for what our
artists are doing to realize ideals of beauty
and increase the glory of the State by
achievements that will be honored by all
who understand the true value of the ideal
in elevating and ennobling the realities of

ARE BOUND WITH IRON,
How the Collections in the
Park Museum Will be
Protected.
A Catalogue That Presents Some
strange Contradict
tons.

Superintendent McLaren's half-iocular
SUGGESTION that the cases in the Park Mu-
scum should be chained down is to be
adopted-in a revised form, and within
the next few days strong iron bands will
inclose the several repositories of valua-
bles in the institution. In the meantime
if anything has been done to prevent
repetition of the recent looting it is not
perceptible to the naked eye.
Since the robbery an order has been
issued to close the department of the
museum at o'clock, but the order does
not partake largely OF the nature of pre-
cautionary measure, as the recent crime
was perpetrated in broad daylight and
while the custodian was at work revising
the catalogue.
The catalogue needs revising, as even q
cursory examination of this most remarka-
BILE compilation will show. An example of
its misleading character may be cited as
follows: In the case presided over by
bronze statue of the Little Corporal" and
from which robbers extracted valuable
medals minted while yet the star of his
glory shone undimmed, the catalogue
calls for 800 medals, coins and other speci-
mems all told.
The custodian admits that twenty-five
medals were stolen; how many more he
does not know. An actual count OF the
medals and coins now in the collection
gives the number SOP. No specimens have
been added to the collection since the rob-
berry, nor has the case been opened for any
other purpose. Of course the descriptions
do not fit in many cases.
'The only explanation" said the patrol
man yesterday "that l can suggest is that
the collection contained originally large
number of medals not recorded in the cir
cular. Of one thing 1 am sure" he con-
tinued, mot a single specimen has been
put in this case since the robbery"

THE PARK IMPROVEMENTS,
They Will Not Be Begun Until
the Appropriation Is
Made.
as a Member Of the Com
mission.

The Park Commissioners organized last
week and elected Joseph Austin chairman.
John Rosenfeld sat with the board and
was recognized by Messrs. Austin and
Scott as the duly appointed third member.
Another meeting will be held at the end of
this month, at which ways and means of
improving the park will be discussed.
A number of schemes to add to the
beauty of the peoples breathing ground
are under consideration, but it will depend
in great measure upon the appropriation
as to whether they will be carried out or
not. Not a day passes but what one or
more members visit the grounds and care
fully inspect the work being done.
Superintendent John McLaren will not
be at the park next Sunday, as he and his
family are going to spend the day at San
Mateo. Commissioner John Rosenfeld
will be on the ground, however, and will
see to it that everything moves along COM
fortably and in order

cost money, however, and the larger our
appropriation the quicker the work will be
done. We are to have a meeting at the
end of this month, but 1 do not think we
will decide upon anything until we know
what the Supervisors are going to allow

now looking its best and it is treat to get
out there OF an afternoon after the hurry
and hustle of the day."
The fiscal year begins the first of next
July and before that date the Supervisors
will have to make the necessary appropria-
ton to carry on the various branches of
the city government. The amount to be
levied for the maintenance and improve
ment of the park will also be decided upon
and 1T is the action of the board in this
matter that the Commissioners are wait

last evening by the Willoughby process,
which has been already described in the

ing self-explanatory communication to the
Board of Supervisors:
April 10, 1895.
Gentlemen: Two letters, dated respectively
on April and Is, have been addressed by me
to the clerk of this board relative to the send
ing of all bills to me for examination so that
to the character of the claims coming against
the city.
Upon their reception your honorable BODY
has by resolution (No. IL, 113) directed that all
bills be delivered to me, and that they by my
signature be certified as having been passed,
and thus made ready for audit and payment
The resolution for its authority refers to sec
ton 90 of the consolidation act That declares
that "every ordinance or resolution of the
Board OF Supervisors providing for the expen-
diture OF public moneys, except for sums less
than 5000" shall be presented to the Mayor
for his approval. This clearly shows that his
approval is only needed for sums of $500 or
on me the duty of allowing demands for
smaller sums.
AS to the certifcation for audit and paw
ment, that seems hardly necessary, as the sig
nature OF your clerk is enough for the Auditor
In that respect. 1t is not my purpose to form
ally approve or disprove all these small bills
The request for them was made solely fol ex-
animation SO as to master the various and or
binary demands against the city.
Under the resolution about ITO bills were
sent TO me, comprising those passed in O single
week. To sign these in person would consume
time which must devote to more important
matters. Therefore these bills having been re-
uted by my signature, but I desire that here
after they be continued to be sent to me for
inspection. Very respectfully yours,
ADoLPH SUTRO, Mayor.
