RAINED PETITIONS.
All Sorts of Applications Made to tn,
Supervisors.

All Sorts of Applications Made to the
Supervisors.
The Finance Committee of the Board OF
Supervisors was petitioned yesterday by
District Attorney Barnes to recommend
the appointment of another Assistant
District Attorney for his office. The COM
mittee admitted that more help might be
needed just now while the Durrant case
was on. AS the appointment called for a
salary of about $1,000 year, it was decided
to let the matter go over till it could be
thoroughly examined.
The District Attorney also asked for the
appointment of bond clerk. The salary
suggested was $3.50 month. The COM
mittee thought the Office ought to get on
with clerk who was satisfied with 500 a
month. AS nearly every official in the
building is asking for an increased clerical
force or for office improvements, the COM
mittee decided to wait awhile and find out
just how much was going to be demanded
on the limited funds.
The petition of the Union of Practical
Progress for special election for voting
upon the purchase of the City's gas, cleo
trio and water works went over for two
weeks when a committee from the
petitioners will appear and argue the
matter.
The petition of the Merchants Associa-
ton asking that a sufficient sum be in
cluded in the next tax levy to pay the
City s old debts was placed on file.

AFTER PUBLIC EVILS.
The Supervisors Determined to Abate
Number of Nuisances.


Health Officer Lovelace complained to
the Health and Police Committee of the
Board of Supervisors yesterday that the
ordinances relating to bad meats were very
defective. According to his explanation
the carcasses of the cattle which die in
transit can be sold by butchers and there is
no authority under the law by which the
inspectors can prevent it. On his sugges-
ton it was decided to recommend that the
ordinance be amended to include the pro-
vision that all cattle not fit to be used for
food may be seized. If the proposed
amendment is found valid a strong effort
will be made to have it adopted by the
board.
The lax manner in which the social evil
is handled on Morton street created lively
discussion. Numbers of ordinances were
found on the books bearing on the matter.
AS Supervisor Dimond remarked, there was
no use creating more ordinances the point
was to properly enforce those already in
effect.
Chairman Benjamin and Supervisor
Dimond were appointed committee to

"AS YOU LIKE II" TO-DAY
Everything Is in Readiness for
the Brilliant Society
Event.
Thousands Expected to Assemble
on Sutro Heights at 2 O'clock
This Afternoon.

Every detail has been completed for the
presentation of GAS You Like 1t" at Sutro
Heights at P. M to-day. and the prospect
is that one of the largest audiences that
ever assembled to see a dramatic per-
Torrance in San Francisco will assemble
in the shadowy retreat by the ocean to-
day.
The sale of tickets all day yesterday was
ph enomenal, and a thousand extra seats
had to be added in the great outdoor
amphitheater.
Extra cars will be run on every line, and
the audience will experience no delay in
assembling. The perform ance will begin
promptly at the sounding of bugle at
o'clock, and the music of the orchestra
will fill the woodland retreat with rare
burst of harmony.
One of the attractive features will
be songs by the University Glee Club, the
music being specially adapted to the play.
Prominent photographers will make
souvenir pictures of the audience and
actors. The proceeds OF everything. will
go to charity, under the direction OF the
Charming Society.
The rehearsals have been conducted with
the greatest care, and no detail that would
lend an added charm has been overlooked.
One particularly good feature of the
arrangements for the accommodation of
audience is that of seating. The amphi-
theater has been so arranged that no mat
ter how great the multitude every auditor
will have full view of the stage.
Theatrical people have joined the pro-
moters of the praiseworthy endeavor and
from every theater in the City have come

FROM HERSCHEL ISLAND.
The Latest News From the
Whaling Fleet Is Not
Encouraging.
MANY DISASTERS REPORTED
Mrs. Captain Sherman Gave Birth
to a Daughter and That
Broke the Spell.

The record of last years whaling ven
lures in the Arctic when finally written
will show some remarkable cases of suffer
ing and privation, and at least one case of
great Joy. Among the fleet that wintered
off Herschel Island there has been scurvy,
assertions, deaths from consumption, one
stabbing ARRAY and the birth of the first
purely Anglo-Saxon girl in the Arctic.
When Captain A. G. Sherman sailed for
the Arctic in the steam -whaler Beluga on
March 10, 1884, he took his wife along with
him. On May 8, 1895, daughter was born
to them, and four days later the mother
and daughter were so we'll and hearty that
the little one was christened. The cere-
mony was performed by the Rev. Mr..
Stringer, Presbyterian missionary, whose
life work is among the Esquimaux, and
who happened to be on visit to Herschel

He said Central Church was known as a

from this downtown region, and now two
more are packing up to go. 1T looks as
though Howard-street Church and Central
Church would be left alone to battle with
evil in this section below Seventh street."
Twelve churches have gone, but $4,000 peo-
pie have come and the saloons don't move
out.
Bishop Warren said he was glad Central

Christian life. This was great occasion.

good, were sent out to labor in various
fields by the Methodist church. They all

was marching on.
Religious gatherings were no longer
meetings for the discussion of dogmas.
The truth is now recognized that the
essence of all essential dogma is COM
prised in the command, ''Thou shalt love
thy neighbor as thyself." The churches
are learning that the lowest as well as the
highest have right to be mum bered among
the redeemed. He spoke of the great work
accomplished by an earnest preacher in

street. He was glad to see tendency to-

the Police Department are examining into
the merits of various kinds of waterproof
coats, particularly those of the macintosh
order. The sample that has received the
most favor is macintosh similar to those
worn by the police in Chicago. The gar
ment is guaranteed to turn water and it
extends to the ankles. The question as to
whether or not capes shall be worn is not
determined.
1t will be compulsory for every police
officer to provide himself with raincoat
OF the accepted style in order to maintain
a uniformity of appearance among the
men. Every officer will be obliged to wear
during the rainy weather waterproof
covering for his helmet.

FISHERS WATERY EXPERIENCE.
Friends Say He Attempted Go Commit
Suicide.

William Fisher, for many years we'll
known bartender, had a watery experience
at an early hour yesterday morning.
He says he was walking around a vessel
near the LON bard street wharf at
o'clock, when he missed his footing and
fell into the bay. Being an expert swim
mer, there was no immediate danger of
his drowning, but the grave question at
that hour of the night was who would
come to his assistance and haul him onto
the dock.
A few piercing yelIs solved the problem.
Two men who were strolling along the
water front went to his assistance and sue
ceeded in landing him on the wharf.
The incident has caused Fishers friends
much solicitude, as it is known his mind
has been failing very rapidly of late, and
the supposition is that he intended TO end
his life by drowning but changed his mind
when the chilling waters of the bay closed
over him. The poor fellow has been out
of work for several months. and his friends

Churches at Central Church

A royal welcome was accorded to Bishop

than 600 representatives of churches of
San Francisco and vicinity listened to the

William Abbott presided. An address
of welcome to DIR. Warren was made by

! Ed L. Fridiy's livery and feed stable,

element Tuesday afternoon. The roof

ringing of the fire bell brought the entire
fire department to the spot on the double
quick, while the gathering crowd pro
ceeded TO get out the horses, harness and
vehicles. The hay loft happened to be
empty and as foot of snow on the roof
prevented the fire from spreading there
il resulted in but slight damage to the
building. The fire probably caught from
a defective chimney. The Bozeman fire
department has been called out but once
before in year, the last alarm being in
July of 1894, when a slight blaze from a
chimney burning out was an excuse fol
the ringing of the fire bell.
