The Sun Sawed Wood,
CORD BY CORD.

Thursday afternoon was II good time to
have made your summer change of clothing.
The sun was hot and the people We're warm.
One citizen was unthoughtful enough to ask
a perspiring friend, 'if it was hot enough for
him. and was repaid for his foolhardiness
by seeing look of despair spread over his
face. The sun shone down brilli-
antly in the vicinity of Alrich's thermometer.
and the mercury rose to the seth degree.
Here and there in every place,
Ger the town,
The heat ON all the faces
Caused frown-
Because the sun sawed wood,
just as steady as he could,
Cord by cord.
The people famed and famed,
And madden grew,
And the pcrspiration drops
Flew and flew;
But the tanning answered not
To rid them of the hot,
And they swore,
And ripped and tore,
At the sun.
said the sun up in the skies,
Il will make the mercury rise,
To eighty-iivC;
Just rs sure as I'm alive,
Them of comfort I'll deprive,
While saw"
So he sawed and sawed and sawed,
And the folks thawcd and thawcd
Everywhere.
The sun just as steady us rock,
Cut wood till six O'Clock,
When he stopped.
MORAL:
Don't talk about the heat
IL II ncighbor you should meet
For in the month of May,
Busy people make hay
on every sunny day.

THE MAN WITH A SECRET
An Anonymous Letter to the Coron er
About His Marital Rela-
tions.

An anonymous letter was received bv
Coroner Hawkins yesterday respecting the
unknown man who shot himself in Golden
Gate Park on October 26, and who died at
the City and County Hospital three days
ago, his body being still unidentified at
the Morgue.
If anything the letter only made the
mystery of the ''man who died with a Sc
cret" more of a mystery than ever. The
man had in his possession a picture of a
lady, and upon this the letter attempted
to throw little light by telling the Coro-
ner she was his wife and that he was un-
happily married.
The writer was apparently as much
averse to being known as was the man
who shot himself. Here is the letter:
The Coroner-DEAR SIR: The man found in G.
g. Park on Oct. 20 last and who died yesterday
was well known to me. He has only been here
little over months coming here from
Missouri, where his mother and young wife,
whose photograph was found on person, reside.
He frequently expressed his desire to die ow-
ing to unhappy marital relations. l notified
his relatives when he was found, stating he
could not recover, and have just received
letter from his mother stating her desire that
his body should be buried with the unknown,
as he wished it.
He left his valise containing letters and
other effects in my room on the day before he
was louud, anu ne stlU, 'Goou-py, GeorRe,
but did not believe the poor boy would carry
out his threat. His mother only wishes that
his body be buried and not dissected.
For many reasons he wished to be unknown
when found, and so 1 will not betray his de-
sire. Otherwise 1 would come out like man
and tell you ali about him. Kindly publish
number OF his grave in the public graveyard,
and oblige HIS FRIEND.
P. ST sent his yalise and things to his
mother which suppose was all right.
He was in Olympia a short time with his
wife over two years ago.
The only clew to the identity of the man
so far found is the silver matchbox he
had, on which were the letters, "a. P. III.
CO.. This matchbox was evidently given
him as Christmas souvenir at Olympia,

however, has not yet succeeded in estab-
lishinp who or what he was.

better opportunity seems to be given the
disagreeable properties in the water to
show themselves. In Noe Valley the water
from the Spring Valley pines smells bad,
tastes bad and is dirty. There is pro-
nounced odor of decayed vegetation. Many
OF the consumers are chary about using
the water even after it has been filtered.
They boil it before they drink it. and ply
sicians recommend that it be boiled before
it is given the sick.
Parts of Noe and Eureka valleys are sup
piled by the Mountain Spring Water Com
pany, a private concern with the source OF
its supply in the hills to the westward.
With water near them that is az least
agreeable TO the taste and to the smell
those who are compelled to use the dis
agreeable solution of decayed unknowns
realize more seriously their position and
look doubtingly upon the collection of
filth intercepted by their filters, and in
some cases wondered if with the evident
impurities there are not germs that are re-
sponsible for several fevers in that neigh
borhood.
But this does not seem to be the only
part of the City that has serious cause to
complain of the water furnished.
Warren Temple, a lawyer, and his
family, living at 1884 Sutter street, have
been unable to use the water from the
Spring Valley pipes for several weeks past
without first boiling it. They complain
that it has an offensive odor and is very
disagreeable to the taste. The sample

A SECOND CONFERENCE.
Western Railways Ask for AnOthe eT
Meeting Over Utah
Trade.

The Western railways leading into Utah
have become dissatisfied with the result of
the recent conference with the Southern
Pacific at Salt Lake City. On second
thought they have suddenly reconsidered
their action, and are now only too anxious
to undo it and talk the whole question over
again. They have been forced into this
peculiar position by pressure from Salt
Lake merchants, nd yesterday tele-
gram was issued by them Jointly to the
Southern Pacific asking for conference
to consider exactly what occupied many
days in Salt Lake City.
The Southern Pacific Company replied
that it would suspend action with regard
to cutting rates to Ogden, and would glad
ly take part in discussion Of the tangled
situation, provided the conference was
held at All early date. These conditions
were promptly accepted, and q meeting of
the different railway representatives will
take place in Utah S capital within two or
three weeks. Meantime, there will be a
cessation of hostilities between the COM
petlng railways with regard to Utah busl-
ness.
The merchants of California have been
looking toward Utah with great expecta-
tions, but found that the low rates of East
ern and Western roads shut out competi-
tion from the Pacific Coast. Chicago ship
perS could deliver merchandise in . tab on
far oetter basis than San Francisco mer-
chants could.
The Southern Pacific Company saw it
The San Francisco call., 1895-11-14

was losing heavily over the Central Pa
cifc and cut down it's rates to Ogden.
Here all the trouble started. The Union
Pacific would not join the Southern Pacific
in reduction, and so practically closed
Salt Lake City against California.
The merchants of that city now find that
freight is taken to Ogden at lower rates
than they can get, and consequently their
jobbing business passes to Ogden. So
they have prevailed on the Western roads
to ask for another conference.
Assistant Freight Agent Sproule of the
Southern Pacific Company said that his
company would meet the Western lines
half way on any friendly arrangement that
would give the Southern Pacific business
and incidentally open Utah to San Fran
cisco merchants and interior shippers
throughout California.

they feel toward the condition OF affairs

M|DWEEK THEATER NOTES
De Wolf Hopper Has Achieved
Popularity at the
Baldwin.
Stirring Melodramas at the California
Theater and the Grand
Opera-House.

Even a comedian of De Wolf Hopper's
standing can be by no means certain that
because he is popular IN New YORK he will
likewise prove stellar attraction in San
Francisco. However, a few nights generally
show which way the tide of popularity is 60
ing to flow, and judging from last nights audi
ence at the Baldwin Theater and the favor
with which his efforts were received, the
comedian has no reason to be dissatisfied
with his San Francisco success.
"Wang" has much to recommend 1t, in addi-
ton to De Wolf Hopper, though he is it's
strongest point The spectacular qualities of
the production are very good, and the music.
though timid, is bright and is tinged here and
there with originality.

ter is considerably above the average melo-
drama. The characterization is more human
and possible, and in making men and women
out OF his dramatic persona, instead of pup
sacrificed any OF the required melodramatic ex-
citement. The play is, on the whole, well acted
and the staging is good.
"Money Mad" at the Grand is rather seri-
Gus and romantic drama in which the two vii
lains, one from choice and the other by
circumstance, ably presented by f.
Rutler and Coulter Brinker. The pret-
tiest scene is the one in the tenement
house, when the stage is divided into two
parts and one sees at the same time the young
couple reduced to starvation and the interest
ing typewriter in her elegant little apartment.
Miss FolZ is a graceful actress and the scene
between her and her lover (Brinker) is particu-
larly pretty and natural.
Growers AlcaZar was again visited by the
Improved Order of Red Men last night, and
between the acts some interesting steoreopti-
con views were shown. Many of the scenes
were laid in Redwood City, and applause was
again elected by the view of the new CALL
building. Growers company is giving good
performance of ''The Private Secretary" Leon
ard Grover in particular eliciting plenty of
mirth by his amusing characterization of the
''Do you know?' curate.
The Grauto and Maud act is the strong fea-
ture of the Orpheums bill this week. The ease
and grace with which Granto performs difficult
feats on the bounding wire, including back
somersaults, have made him Immediately
popular. The Ammons Clerise trio are clever
voca!ists, comedians and instrumentalsts.

popular favor.
