would not accept.
The whole matter is that the octopus is fight

the interior are passing remarks because /
don't subscribe to the valley railroad. Here
am fighting the octopus single-handed, and
while know that the valley road Will do the
State much good my fight here is more for the
benefit OF the people of this city. | am willing
TO come 10 any proper understanding with
these people, but the whole object OF the thing
is to delay the building OF the peoples road to
the ocean beach. That is the animus which is
behind the affair OF this morning.
Superintendent Won Frank of the Sutro
road said that he thought the whole mat
ter YVES ''cold bluff" on the part of the
California-street people, but 1T did not
work
Up to late last evening the men were
still engaged in cutting through the
cement bed of the cable company's tracks,
and making way for the turn in the
Sutro road. After Deputy Street Commits
sioner Fallon ordered the cars to remain
either one side or the other of the crossing
where the work was going on the laborers
were able to work faster.
Even at the best, though, it was difficult
and slow work cutting through the hard
concrete. AS they proceeded they braced
up the cable track with stout beams. 1t
had been reported that the California-street
Cable Company would make an effort last
night to prevent the work from becoming
completed, but there were no signs of such
a demonstration last evening.
Superintendent Harris was again en-
phatic in his statement that the California
street road would do nothing further in the
matter.
ut is not the policy of this road to be
obstructionists. and we don't propose to
be. What we did this morning was under
the advice OF our attorney, and | believe
we were right. No; do not think we will
get out an injunction to stop the work.
We have done all we could to come to an
amicable arrangement with Mr.. Sutro, but
he has not shown an inclination to treat
with us in the same spirit
At the same time there are several heavy
cars placed on the south side other track,
just above the turn, and when the Sutro
men come to them in the course of track
laying there is liable to be another battle.
The cars belong to the Market-street Rail-
road Company, though, and just what
will be done with them remains to be
seen.

laid their responsibility ceased, as far as our
roadDed was concerned, and we would
nave to pay money out Tor expenses
But neither Mr.. Sutro nor his attorneys would
come to any agreement as to money
to be paid. Acting under instructions from
our: attorney went out there this morning
with my assistants, all of whom are entitled to
carry pistols, and ordered work stopped.
We did not point our guns at any one
and we made no bluff to shoot any one know
and the other two feel the same way. If Will
liams says we pointed a pistol at him he is
wrong in his statement. He was forty feet
away from the spot when we ordered the men
to quit work.
The proposition which our company sub
mitted TO Sutro was that he run single track
$50 feet on the south side of ours where his
cars could go up or down without interfering
with our switches or terminus in any way. he
would not accept it and in fact we do not
know just what he does want.
Mayor Sutro tells somewhat different
story. He says that he has held confer
ences with ]. B. Stetson, president OF the
California-street road, III. e. Huntington
and several attorneys interested, two OF
which conferences were on the ground and
one in his Office He could not, he says,
get them to offer any figures for the priv
lege OF crossing their tracks. He was OF the
opinion that the whole affair was part OF
a job on. the part of the OCTOPUS" to steal
away his franchise through lapse of time.
He said:
have offered the California-street Railroad
people one-third of the cost of the electric poles
and also one-third of the maintenance OF their
road end. also guaranteed them trafhc any
way they suggested and maintenance of their
road bed at the junction under the supervision

]. A. CAMPDELL'S PLEDGES
They Appear Before Superior
Judge Hunt on Argu-
ment.
Alfred Baldetta's Writ of Manda-
mus Is Finally Sub
mitted.

Judge Campbell, Alfred Baldetta and a
writ of mandamus to compel a change of
venue were all before Judge Hunt together
yesterday afternoon, awaiting a decision.
The case was taken under advisement,
however, and the decision will be rendered
in few days.
The case is one growing out of an cleo
ton pledge to close the dives. Baldetta
runs a dive. He was arrested on 'harge
of selling liquor without a proper license
and he set forth the election pledge to sup
press the dives, which Judge Campbell
Endorsed, as reason why his case should
be tried before some other Judge besides
Judge Campbell.
J. ]. Coffey represented Judge Campbell,
and the drift of his argument was that
while against the race of dive-keepers his
Honor OF the police bench might have an
intense prejudice, still, against this par
ticular defendant he felt no i'll will what
ever, and he could therefore try him fairly
and impartially.
Alexander Campbell Jr., who spoke for
Baldetta, the defendant, insisted that the
law required that prejudice need only be
alleged by defendant to give cause for the
transfer of case from one court TO an
other in the same county. The Judge
against whom the allegation of prejudice
is made, he said, has no business to pass
upon the allegation and say, it is I'M
founded. The honor of the bench de-
mands, he said, that the case be transferred,
and so do several sections of the Penal
Code; and in this condition he left his case
to the court. A decision will be rendered
in few days.

ahead of anything in the world 1t would be
San Francisco's trump card.
This city has now the miserable Mission road
as its only outlet by land. No other city In
the world is in such q position and no other
CITY in the world has so fine an opportunity to
have boulevard that would be world famous.
That boulevard would pay pay every every mortgage nor g
crease the value OF property many
times. The region through which it would
run would be revelation, ana tnou-
sands would long to live in such country.
AS beautiful as that stretch OF country down
the bay seems from the county road, It's true
beauties are almost unknown. They lie In and
By the foothills, and they have always been
nsssed from, north to south and crossed from
east to west There is this .city's great future
suburban region. There is where its villas are
to be. TO drive through that region is to want
to stay there Nature has lavished richness
and beauty on it and 1t is uneXcelled IN the
world as place for homes.
NV idea of the boulevard is that it should
start from the park and swing TO the south
along the foothills with everything above and
below 1t may be necessary to circle into the
county road but that should be left as much as
possible TO traffic for which it is the natural
route In leaving the park there is magnif-
cent view of park and ocean, while Tamalpa1s
towers in one direction and on clear day the
SierTas can be seen in. another.
: AS far as possible the boulevard should skirt
the foothills: They are the unparalleled
beauties of that region. No winds, no logs,
warmer in winter and cooler In summer than
climate in the world Anything can be raised
to perfection, and with all the beauties and
magnificence there only man is vile. A drive
by that route would continually open new
yistas. 1t would overlook the richest plains in
the world, the bay, the mountains beyond the
Sferras in the far distance, while the Santa
Cruz Mountains rise majestically close at hand
and every few minutes little valleys and little
canyons would open TO the enchanted view.
The beauties OF the foothills there have SO far
been left mainly to the COW and her calf.
Nature has been prodigal there and l have
seen no. place in the world that compares with
that long stretch of foothill region.
1t would be easy to take in this region from
Belmont south by using the two miles OF road
skirting the foothills, called the Alameda de
las Pulgas, and continuing the route south
ward. That drive would be simply incompara-
Bile. There are many famous drives in the
world, like the Riviera, that are available dur
ing part of the year, but here would be drive
that would be used the year round, and es-
,peeially in winter. Now is the time to build 1t,
when land is cheaper than it ever will be
again. and the property-owners are ready Tor
il. They can have my orchard or any thing
else needed from me and I'll move my house II
it's in the way. The three counties should take
hold of the boulevard and build it. 1t would
be for. each OF them the greatest and most
valuable improvement they could acquire.

westward from Redwood City into the hills.
Some time ago Mr.. Britain and few
Others secured the opening of a splendid
drive, two miles long, connecting these
two roads mile or so west of the county
road. 1t is suggested that the boulevard
follow this thoroughfare, which is called
the Alameda de las Pulgas. From its
southern end new road could be opened
to a connection southwark with the county
road. This, of course, remains yet
simply magnificent idea.
Nat J. Britain, who is keenly interested
in the boulevard has some strong ideas
about it. He says;
Wesneed boulevards, and the more the bet
ter There should be some on the other side of
the bay, but this one is absolutely necessary.
1t is the finest thing ever proposed here and it
Is vital to San Francisco. 1t is important to all

TEACHERS MEBT,
PUBLIC SCHOOL EDUCATORS IN SESSION YES
TERDAT.
Essay BY Miss Stanton, and Excsllen! Addresses by
Rabbi B. A. BOnnbeim, and Dr.. G. +.
Ulrieh, President Of the Board.

The Wheeling Teachers Association
met yesterday afternoon at the elegant
new building devoted to the education
OF the pupils of the Sixth ward. The
teachers were delighted with the beauti-
full, airy rooms, with their perfect sys-
tenn OF ventilation. The exercises
opened with prayer by Principal Stew
enson, Of Madison school. This was
followed by song by class of pupils,
who sang very sweetly under the drec-
ton Of Miss Robinson.
Miss Stanton. of Centre school, was
next on the programme with very in
teresting ESSAY pom the unique subject.
THAT Tired Feeling" in which
she spoke very entertainingly OF
the Disbursements and victories
of teaching. She urged the duty OF rest
aud change during vacation, speaking
of the renewed energy for work when IL
is resumed.
This essay was followed by an ad-
dress from Rabbi Bonnheim, which was
listened 10 with smuch interest by all
the teachers. His topic, The Public
Schools" was one in which he has al
ways manifested much interest. He
brought before each teacher the re-
spOnSibiiity OF her position as the edu-
Gator OF not only the future citizens out
OF the future parents. We need not more
cities but more citizens, and to the public
schools we must look for their training.
Europe has her standing armies
for protection, America her public
schools. Surprising as it might sound
from the lips of minister, yet he ear
nestly hoped the schools might remain
free from any decided religious bias,
vet they need not be called Goddess
schools" because they are under purely
secular influence.
lie urged that the schools receive
the moral support OF the people. In
the public schools no caste lines are
drawn. The son of the millionaire may
sit with the son OF the hOdcarrier, each
on equality. The reverend gentleman
closed his remarks with some beautiful
poetica remarks, defeating the
new building to the cause OF education.
A beautiful soul must dwell in beauti-
ful house, and his wish was that beauti-
ful souls might dwell in this new
building.
A solo charmiugly rendered by Miss
Zou Hastings followed this address, and
then the new President of the Board,
Dr. Ulrich, was introduced and received
with enthusiasm by the teachers. The
doctor made some interesting contrasts
between the beautiful new building and
the old log cabin in which be had taught
school, He spoke Of the pleasant rela.
tions which had always existed between
himself and the teachers, and hoped il
might continue. The meeting was both
pleasant and profitable.

In prescribing Paine's celery COM

Wheeling physician, who is specialist
in nervous difficulties, declared that
there were thousands of such women
who were literally killing themselves by

They are not satisfied" said he,

this habit that they run up and down
stairs when there is no need for hurry.
They not only rush but worry, and
between these two, subject their nervous
systems TO more wear and tear than
anything short of wrought steel could
endure"
Whatever the cause, our women,
cur young girls and even business
men are ragidly growing more
nervous. Prof Phelps, the great
Dartmouth scientist, saw this alarm

trated all his energy 10 remedylng II.
