DEFIANCE TO THE BOARD.
Richmond Property Owners to Contest
the BIue-Rock Ordi-
nance,

If the Solid Eight of the Board of Su-
pervisors attempts to enforce the blue rock
ordinance on the people of the Richmond
district it will have an ugly fight on its
hands.
The property-owners are arrayed against
it to man and open rebellion in legal
way will meet any effort to compel them
to pay 81 a load for blue rock from Tele-
graph hill for the benefit of Gray Bros,
when they can get the red rock close by at
75 cents q load.
Several property-owners and enthusiastic
promoters of Richmonds interests, one of
them being President T. G. Parker of the
Point Lobos improvement Club, have
made UP their minds to give the board an
opportunity to assert itself, and, if the op-
portunity is taken to Immediately attack
the legality of the ordinance III the courts.
So q little trap will be set for the board
like this:
Contractors McHugh and Sherrin are
Just now grading Twentieth avenue be-
tween Clement and California streets and
putting in sewer there. When this work
is finished that of macadamizing will be-
gin. Somebody-it NAV be Messrs. Nc
Hugh and Sherrin-will proceed to mac
made Point Lobos avenue and the drive
ways of Golden Gate Park so substantial
and firm in the eyes of the Richmond resi-
dents. Then the fun will begin. If any
arrests are made for violating the blue
rock ordinance legal counsel, already Sc
cured by the property-owners and pro-
moters aforesaid, will Immediately begin
proceedings to habeas corpus the offenders
and contest the legality of the ordinance.
That is all there is to it just now. 1t
will be a sort of defiance to the Solid Eight
of the Board of Supervisors, and when the
Point Lobos Club meets in Farrell's hall
next Wednesday it will arrange for cam
paign of law that will cause the Supervisors
to pause and think. The Richmond Dis
trict improvement Association will follow
suit week later with such protest as
will make the board feel that the senti-
ment of that neighborhood is unanimous
and determined.
why" Mr.. Parker queried yesterday
''do they suppose we are going to tamely
submit to proposition that will cost US
5000 block for macadamizing, when we
can get the work done for less than fifth
of that amount, and with rock that has
stood the test of tlme-Point Lobos ave-
nue. for instance?'

referring TO his pastor and n deacon in the
church In terms SO dlsrespectful, so unjust, so
uncharitable and so untruthful as those con-
tanned in the letter referred to-:
RESOLVED, That in the Judgment of this board
Brother Strauss has done great wrong to Dr.
Brown, the pastor, TO Brother j. II. Morse one
of its deacons, and to the church itself, whose
good name is compromised with that of its
officers, and is highly censurable for conduct
so unbrotherly and so unchristian.
Deacon Rankin said the accused acknowl-
edged writing the letter, but expressed
only regret that it had been published
Several of the congregation protested
against such resolution. DIR. Brown, Dea-
con Rankin and others urged that Deacon
Strauss acknowledgement of the author
ship of the letter was sufficient. A motion
to lay the matter ON the table was voted
down, and the resolution of censure was
passed.
The storm broke in earnest when James
T. Westgate, president of the Endeavor
Society," proposed to drop Mr.. Strauss from
the ehurch's membership roll. He stated
that offending memb bers should be disci-
plined in order to preserve harmony, and
as Mr.. Strauss had admitted writing the
letter and showed no repentance therefor
he should be expelled.
For nearly an hour the question was
argued. Mr.. Strauss friends, OF whom
but few were present, stated that the
church had no right to do such thing
without preferring formal charges and CIV
ing the man chance to defend his name
and position. Mr.. Strauss might be able
to prove what he had said.
A motion to delay the communication
was voted down, and when the original
resolution was voted upon Mr.. Strauss was
turned out of the First Congregational
Church by vote of 81 to 40. The congre-
CATION fastened from the church in ex-
cited knots.

1t was positively determined yesterday
that the life of little Lois Edwards, the
only surviving member of the Edwards
family that died from voluntary poison
ing, was saved because her mother did not
desire that she should go with the rest.
Instead OF giving the child cyanide of po-

SUING THE ATTORNEY.
The Macdonoughs Ask Il. +. Preston tc
Pay $4,000 for Alleged
Neglect.

The sons and daughters of the late
Joseph Macdonough, the millionaire, are
suing Attorney E. F. Preston for $25,OOo
alleged to have been lost through neglect
of business placed in his charge.
In 1888 Mrs. Macdonough bought the
Rutherford property at Dupont and Nor
ton streets, Rutherford guaranteeing the
purchaser against street-widening tax.
Mr.. Preston obtained $4,000 from the
Rutherford estate, but the taxes will
amount to $55 200, and SO the Macdonoughs
are endeavoring to hold the attorney re-
sponsible for the difference.

We ought to have in this country
numbers Of the coffee houses run on the
Liverpool plan. Several years ago some
citizens Of Liverpool established one or
two of these houses by way of a begin
ming They were in no sense charity,
but they gave food and nonalcoholic
drinks at very low figure Coffee, tea
and milk were provided as Srinks The
food was bought at a very close margin,
and the idea was to have the houses pay
all their own expenses, no more But
the result shows that there is real prof
it in the business. Besides that, these
coffee houses have been all important
agency in promoting temperance and
have driven out scores of liquor saloons
from the localities where they have been
established. It shows that, after all, the
majority of mankind, even the poor, pre-
fer decent, respectable living, eating and
drinking to existence in the boozing
dens in which SO many of them seem
doomed to spend their leisure hours. In
England there are now 1000 such coffee
houses, and $40, 900, 900 capital is in
vested in them.

All About Tinctumutants.

DIR. James Weir, Jr., tells us in The
Popular Science Monthly that the the
DRY that REORGANIZATION from light is a
oausation of tinctumutation is no longer
tenable. This is thrilling news indeed.
We are now at loss. We always
thought it was. What to do now for q
theory of the causation of tinctumuta.
ton we do not know.
A frog is tinotumutant, the professor
tells us. Froggie's epidermis is composed
Of pavement epithelium and cylindrical
cells. If you look at the web OF his foot
through an achromatio lens, you can
plainly make out his chromatophores.
If you pinch tho ohromatophores, they
will turn brown. No wonder. In con-
nection with this branch of his subject
the professor informs US, further, of q
discussion among two learned scientific
gentlemen which is calculated to irritate
their chromatophores and make them
fairly turn green. Professor Paul Bert
declares that young axolotl cannot
form its chromatophores if reared in q
yellow light Professor Semper, on the
other hand, vows that Bert's axolotls
are albinos. BY way Of making some
explanation, which the reader needs,
Professor Weir assures US that the chro-
matophores are not at all the same as
the chlorophyl bodies. This information
is of weighty Importance to the destinies
Of the human race.
For the benefit of those who do not
carry Webster's Unabridged along to
work with them in their kit Of tools it
may be remarked that Professor Weir is
writing about creatures which change
their color to match whatever substance
they are resting upon for the time be-
ing.

Make Use of Silver.

The great number Of Christmas pres
ents made of solid silver was noticeable
this year. Silver is now so cheap that
many articles formerly made Of other ma
terial, plated with silver, are now man
ufactured wholly Of the white metal.
Silver indeed might be called the nation
al metal, and there ought to be a patri-
otto effort made to introduce it into all
the arts and industries where it is avail
able Solid silver tea sets, plates, cups,
forks and spoons can now 30 manufac-
tured more cheaply than they ever were
before. Thus they are now in reach Of
thousands OF persons who a generation
ago would as soon have thought of being
able to fly to the moon as of owning a
solid tea service.
The many varieties Of tableware now
required, from the tiny after dinner coffee
spoon to the great soup ladle, with all the
teaspoons, orange spoons, dessert spoons,
etc., that come between, afford a wide
range for the silver manufacturing in
dustry. There is the same fashionable
variety in forks and knives.
The sterling silver articles acquired
now will keep forever and will be rare
heirlooms when the age Of cheap silver
passes, as it is bound to. Silver may
also at present be substituted with ad-
vantage in various places where it is
customary to use brass. If instead of
fighting about abstract questions Of
finance, which nobody knows anything
about, in the present conditions Of civil
lization, American statesmen and pro-
fessors would make patriotic effort to
give our national metal a boost indus
trially all over the country, they would
work to some purpose to revive our
dropping industries.

Arbitration Laws.

Various countries now have laws pro.
viding for the arbitration Of disputes be,
tween employers and employed. These
laws mostly take shape Of merely arrang-
ing for the method Of procedure where
arbitration has been agreed on or asked
for. In England compulsory arbitration
laws arc pronounced a failure. But in
the north Of England the great iron and
steel industry established for itself VOL
UNFAIRLY board of arbitration and con-
ciliation. The board began operations 25
years ago. 1t constitutes a standing
committee to settle grievances. One en-
ployer and one workman from each es-
Establishment are represented therein. The
employees elect their own representative
annually in December The standing
committee meets usually once a month.
If its members fail to agree concerning
any matter in dispute, referee is called,
whose decision is final. Before he makes
it, however, he must summon witnesses
from tho works where the dispute is on
and examine them.
In % years this board Of arbitration
and Cancellation has readjusted wages
60 times, always to the final satisfaction
Of those concerned. In the quarter Of a
century since it began operations near
~ 900 disputes have been settled. The
wage revisions were made in more than
half the instances by arranging sliding
scales.
France two years ago put into effect
an arbitration law. It is not compulsory.
1t did not begin to be executed till Feb.
IS, 1898, but by the close of that year
it's application had been asked for in
100 instances, and 40 per cent Of these
disputes were satisfactorily settled at
once.
Under the French arbitration law the
authorities may intervene to end a labor
dispute when one or both parties to it
ask for such interposition. The ap plica-
tion is made to the local justice Of the
peace. He notifies both parties Of the
request. If they accept arbitration, then
he notifies both to send delegates to a
council of Cancellation. This is the first
step, the council of Cancellation. If the
council Of Cancellation fail to come to
an agreement, the justice asks them to
appoint common arbitrator or more
than one. If the arbitrators fail, they
themselves may choose an umpire and
leave the matter to him. This is final.
If the trouble goes so far that strike
has already broken out, the local justice
may invite the disputants to an arbitra-
ton party.
