TIE Fish COMMISSIONERS.
THEIR ATTENTION Is CALLED TO
ILLEGAL FISHING NEAR
GLEN ELLEN.
The GERMANIA SCHUETZEN CLUB
Is PREPARING FOR It's
FESTIVAL.

The San Francisco Schuetzen Verein
will hold their annual election of off rers
on Friday evening, and the proposition of
sending a team East this year to compete
in shooting festivals will be discussed.
The Germania Schuetzen Club will hold
grand prize-shooting tournament at Shell
Mound Park on March "a, and fifteen
prizes, ranging in value from So to $25, will
be competed for. The shooting will com
mence promptly at 10 o'clock.
Several complaints have been made re-
Gently of the manner in which the fish
laws are being observed by people who re-
side near the coast streams. The follow
ing is sample letter of several that have
been received from residents of Glen Ellen,
which should certainly interest the Fish
Commissioners:
1t is positively disgraeeful to see how the
fishes of this beautiful stream are being caught
daily by men and boys who care not fig for
the law The stream is very low and clear and
as the trout are becoming very hungry it is no
basket OF fish ranging in size from three inches
to foot in length. The season for trout
nshlng VIII not open until April l, but by that
time there will be very few fish of any size left
for those who observe the law. Is the Fish
Commission still in existence? If it still lives
think deputy should pay this place a visit
once in while and no better time than the
present could be selected
81 counted twenty-three fishermen last Sun
nay on the creek, and they all boasted of their
catch, and those whom 1 spoke to about the
law laughed at the idea of arrest and one man
went SO lar as to say that he would not move
out OF his tracks if all the Fish Commissioners
~ 1adiIornla made their appearance. The
anglers of Glen Ellen who observe the game
and fish laws is: WHAT'S the use of a Fish Com.
mission, anyhow? JOHN B. STETsoN.
Members of the San Francisco Angling
GIup enjoyed good sport last Sunday at
En- oarcadero on the Sonoma Creek.
Among the successful bait casters were:
K. Hewson, J. B. Walker, Charles Precht,
Bergez La Jour, Pap Phillipson, Reynard
Fox, q. Hinde and H. Baum. Twelve
large fish were caught and several small
hsh assisted, very materially, to fill the
baskets of the anglers. The club decided
at recent meeting to forward a protest to
Governor Budd Showing the Injustice,
absurdity and illegality" Of the proposed
amendment to the game laws prohibiting
fishing for steel-heads with rod and line in
tidal waters.

TALKED OF THE PESTHOUSE.
The BOARD OF HEALTH WILL
REQUEST A FURTHER AP-
PREPARATION.
BARRACKS ARE WANTED AT THE
COUNTY HOSPITAL FOR THE
1NCURABLES.

The Pesthouse was given thorough
overhauling by the Board of Health yes
terday, and it was decided that the Super
Ylsors should make some further provision
of money if the institution is to be prop
erly maintained.
Dr. Regensburger said that only $4,000 a
year is allowed for the maintenance of the
place, and that $210O of that sum is used
for salaries. During 1894 $500 was used for
repairs on the hospital leaving nothing
for the maintenance of the patients. He
moved that the board make recon-
mendation to the Supervisors that sutfi-
clent appropriation be made to pay the ex-
penses, and his motion was carried
unanimously.
He also offered a resolution that the
City and County Hospital was the proper
place for the incarceration OF persons suf-
terlng from incurable and Infectious dis
eases, and that it was the sense of the
meeting that barracks be erected in the
hospital grounds for the reception of such
patients. This was carried
Mayor Sutro, who presided, said that he
thought the site of the pesthouse should be
on the bay shore, a sufficient distance
south of San Francisco SO that the prevail
ing west winds would blow the infection
germs across the waters of the bay. He
also stated that he had heard that system
of fumigation had been invented by which
all danger OF contaglon could be obviated
by means of a common chimney, in which
all bacteria or bacilli could be burned
The matter was referred to the next meet
ing of the board.
DR.. Mays offered a resolution, which
was carried, that the board demand at the
hands of the Legislature the passage of
Senate bill Sic, providing that after De-
cember 1, 1900, no burials shall take place
within the corporate limits of towns of
100, 900 or more inhabitants.
Mr., Hobbs, president of the Richmond
District Property-owners' Association. APP
peared before the board and urged the i'm
mediate passage of the resolution, saying
that he intended to go before the Legisla-
ture on the proposition. He was given
certified copy of the boards proceedings to
aid him in his work.
William Bindt, patient at the Pest
house, was appointed a nurse for the in
stitution at salary of $25 per month, to
take effect on March l.

His Fees Are Doubled.

There was joy in the Office of the United
States District Attorney yesterday. 1t has been
placed upon the same basis as the judicial dis
tricts OF Oregon, Nevada and Washington
This means that District Attorney Foote will
in future receive 20 cents mileage instead of 10
cents 500 for conviction instead of $50. and
$40 Tor an acquittal or failure of the jury to

Experiments are being made in France
to concentrate wine into tablets for trans
portation. After the grapes are pressed
the juice is pumped into an apparatus
where it is evaporated and the vapor con-
densed. When it has the consistency of a
syrup it is mixed with the grape pulp, pro-
ducing marmalade that contains so per
cent of grape sugar. To make wine the
cakes are mixed with the right proportion

Stunning such shape as 10 make them
more agreeable to Russia or the other

demands was one for the absolute ces-
sion OF Port Arthur. Although not spe-'
officially stated, II Is probable that this
included the Cesaiou OF u considerable
tract of country In the vicinity OF
the port. As Port Arthur IL within tho
limits OF the great province OF Man

The practical erect of this in that cass

guarantee that tho occupied port will
be evacuated within u fixed period Of

may Justly make such a demand for -
temporary possession OF Port Arthur as
