ELECTRIC LINES TO RUN,
New Systems Open To-Day
Throughout the Western
Addition.
Elaborate and Confusing System OF
Transfers for Them-Ellis.Street
Cable Abolished.

An extensive change will be made to-day
in the electric street car service of the
Western Addition. 1t is likely to cause
confusion at first to patrons of the lines,
for new transfer system will go into effect
at TIE same time and the service itself will
be altogether different from what it has
been. The lines affected are the Ellis,
OFarrel, Devisadero, Fillmore, Turk and
Eddy street electric roads and the extern
sion from Page street to Ninth avenue,
south of Golden Gate Park.
1t was thought by the Market-street
officials yesterday that the new lines will
not be quite ready for operation before 10
A. NJ, as some odds and ends of construc-
ton remain to be complet ed The cable
has been discontinued on the Ellis-street
line and the Broderick- street road, from
Ellis to Oak streets, will be abandoned per-
manently, the electric cars turning into
Devisadero street and continuing to the
Park along Page street.
The Ellis and O'Farrell street serv-
ice will be as follows:
Starting from Ellis and Market streets, along
Ellis street to Hyde, along Hyde street to O. Far
Tell, out OFarrell street TO Devisadero, thence
south on Devisadero street to Page, thence
west on Page street to Stanyan. Returning,
from Page and Stanyan streets east to Deyisa-
dero, running north on Devisadero street to

lished:

THE SIERRA FORESTS.
Their Preservation for Beauty and Use
Discussed by the Sierra
CIuh.

The Sierra Club met last evening in the
Academy of Sciences building and listened
to several interesting reports upon the
State and National parks and the forests
of the Sierras.
Professor Joseph LIE Conte presided, and
stated that the club had met to consider
the important question of the preservation
OF our timber and the care of the National
and State parks. The rainfall, so impor
tant to our State, is dependent upon the
timber. If the timber were destroyed for
the use of mankind it would not be so bad,
but it is the wanton destruction that
makes the matter so serious. For in
stance, trees $50 feet high and II feet in
diameter are frequently cut and destroyed
in order to secure one or two cuts for
shakes and the rest is left to decay.
He said that the Federal Government
should recall all the beautiful timbered
sections of the Sierras and protect them
for the benefit Of ali mankind.
Professor LIE Conte then called upon
John Muir of Yosemite Valley fame, who
presented his report in which he said:
1 will tell you of what 1 saw last summer
during q six weeks saunter in the Sierras.
When four years ago saw the National Park
the entire Landscape was scared and disfgured
beyond description by ire and sheepmen.
When | returned last summer / was agreeebly
surprised to sec the entire landscape restored
to its natural and original beauty, and all due
to the care OF Uncle Sans soldiers. The park
has been we'll policed by Federal soldiers.
saw peculiar-ooking flock, not of sheep, but
OF sheepish-looking men. These fellows had
threatened all kinds of things if the soldiers
1nterfered with them and their sheep, but they
walked very mildly before the commander,
who gave them to understand thatif they were
found with their sheep again on the reserva-
ton they would be severely punished.
Mr.. Muir described what has been done
by the enterprising citizens to secure the
park and then to defend it. He said we
have glorious cause to advocate when we
take the position of defending those grand
trees. Mr.. Muir stated that the forests
their growth and underbrush and grasses
to the farming industries of the Sacra-
mento and San Joaquin valleys. He said {:
The only part OF that beautiful million acre
park that looks trowsy, dirty and Woebegone
and trampled out is the Yosemite Valley. That
which should be the most beautiful is the most
repulsive so far as natural features are con-
cerned l believe that the Yosemite Valley
should be given back to the Federal Govern
ment. 1t is o part of the great park, bit still
is apart from il. l do not think that single
animal should be turned loose in that valley
and l do not think that the Commissioners
should permit those, fences to be maintained
that now surround the heytieldS. The hay and
grain should be hauled into the valley for the
stock
Professor W. R. Dudley of the Stanford
University said he wished to substantiate
what Mr.. Muir had said relative to the
soldiers in the National Park. A very few

was only apparent. In a short time new
and gaudier pictures than of old were
painted on the front of the house, and the
name Cremorne was supplanted by that of
Midway Plaisance. Under the new name,
but the same management, the house has
been doing its usual good business, dem
onstratlng that Holman and Mailman
were hard men to down.
Among his associates Mailman was we'll
spoken of, and a number of sports gathered
about the closed entrance of the Midway
yesterday to discuss the virtues of their
deceased companion. He was said to be
generous to his friends and forgiving to his
foes. He leaves widow and two sisters,
from the residence of one of whom, Mrs.
*. Livingstone, he will be buried Tuesday.

nearly fifteen years his name has been as
ISOLATED with that class of amusements
which have so often come under the ban
Of the respectable element of the City.
Hallinan'S career was far from being
sprinkled with roses, and several times he
was forced by public sentiment to close up
his place, but always he bobbed up Sc
renely and continued business at the same
old stand.
Mailman was born at Dunkirk, n. Y,
forty-one years ago. While scarcely out of
his teens he emigrated to Virginia City,
then in the heyday of its prosperity. Here
he engaged in the prosaic occupation of
blacksmithing. Here, too, he imbibed the
love for sporting life, of which there was
then an abundance in Virginia City, and
after six years at the forge he concluded
that the smithy afforded too slow life,
and he deserted his calling and Virginia
City to come to California.
He Immediately settled in San Fran
cisco, where he identified himself with the
sporting element. Welding the sledge-
hammer had given him an unusual
amount of muscle, and being naturally
active he became noted as quite an athlete.
This fact threw him in to some extent
with vaudeville performers, from whom he
i'm bibed the idea of starting a show OF his
own.
His first venture was on the south side
OF Market street, between fl1tn ana SlXtn.
This establishment he called The Elks,
and from the first it was literally patron
lied. 1t was not high-class show; in
fact it was possessed of all the symptoms
of dive. This did not prevent it from
being paying investment, and after four
or five years of increasing patronage Hal
Imam felt the need of more commodious
quarters. at this period he was joined by
Ned Holman, and together they opened
the Cremorne.
This establishment was also financial
success from it's opening. IL survived
numerous agitations and denunciations,
and on several occasions the proprietors
found it prudent to close the place for a
few weeks for repairs" During the re-
cent anti-dive agitation the Cremorne APP
parently succumbed to popular elamor.
Its doors were closed and the windows
were boarded up. The death of an obscure
pugilist as the result of blow delivered
by Dan Creedon, the Australian, in box
ing match at this place probably pre-
cipitated the result. Though Creedon was
exonerated the true nature of the house
was necessarily disclosed in the investiga-
tons.
The passing of the Cremorne, however,

Jack Mailman is dead. Yesterday morn

ready refuge in a constitution already I'M

saw that his death was only a matter of a
few weeks at most. His demise occurred
at the Baldwin Hotel, hut soon afterwaru
the remains were removed to the residence
of his sister, Mrs. Kate Livingstone, III Z

HIS REASON TOTTERING.
Eugene Pardini Being Carefully Watche
in the City Prison.

Eugene Pardini Being Carefully Watched
in the City Prison.
Eugene Pardini, the Washington-street
shoe-dealer, is being closely watched in
the City Prison, as it is feared he will at
tempt again to commit suicide when the
opportunity offers itself.
He is evidently not in his right mind,
and keeps talking loudly to himself in his
native tongue, to the annoyance OF the
other prisoners, whom he prevents from
sleeping at nights. He is also restless, and
continues to walk about the cell, and at
night over and on top of the others.
Between 9 and 10 o'clock Friday night
he got hold OF cane belonging to Captain
Lane. He was kissing the end of it and
trying to insert it into his mouth. The
attention of one of the :'trusties" was
called to his actions, and the cane was
taken from him. as it was thought he
might attempt to thrust it down his throat,
as he did with his spectacles. Captain
Lane will have to do without his cane in
future. The cell was carefully searched
and everything removed that might help
Pardini to end his life.
