W0MAA'S CLUB BUILDING
The Press Association Will Erect
a Beautiful Structure
Soon.
1t Will Be the Headquarters for All
of the Literary Ladies of
This Locality.

The Pacific Coast Women's Press Asso-
citation Is preparing to locate in perma-
nent headquarters. To do sd, according
to the present plans, will involve the
erection of a fine structure that will be
called the Women's Club building, and
will cost not less than 100000. At re-
cent meeting a committee, consisting of
Mrs. P. T. Dickinson. Mrs. M. B. Foster
and Mrs. Laura Y. Pinnie, was appointed
to take charge of the arrangements. An
attempt was made 10 secure q building on
Geary street, near Powell, in which altera-
tions would have to be made, but the cost
thereof and the landlord s terms were too
high.
This left nothing to do but to arrange
for new building TO be constructed tc
suit. This will be located well downtown.
While no plans Tor the structure have been
made the ladies have decided on the main
features. There will be reading-rooms
and a large library, the nucleus of which
is already in the possession of the associa-
tion. TIE ARRANGEMENTS will all be of the
modern order. In order to secure and
hold property the association will be in
corporated at once.
The members of the association do not
propose to occupy the building entirely by
themselves. The committee has been
duluOTlZeu 10 Call UPON Tie OluCeTS Oh all
the ladies' literary societies and clubs in
the City and ask that their organizations
make the Woman's Club Building their
home, for the structure will be so arranged
that dozen ladies' clubs can be housed
under the one roof. Among the organiza-
tions TO be invited are the Daughters of
the Rebellion, the Colonial Danes, the
Sorosis Club, the Laurel Hill Club and
others.
The intention is to make it strictly a
women's building, similar to those in
Chicago. Philadelphia and New York. 1t
will also be a headquarters for all literary
women from abroad, and invitations will
be extended 10 all lady visitors to this City
to make the Woman's Club building their
home during their stay here.
The Pacific Coast Women's Press Asso-
citation held its regular social meeting yes
terday in Native Sons building on Mason
street. The subject under consideration
was Art" Much regret was expressed

Friedlander, who was delayed in Portland

from the shipyards and the Union Iron
Works.
A powerful man physically, he was the
terror of his guests when he chose to DOM
mate and control them; still, when in his
better mood, his generosity and urbane
manner won back to him the friends he
lost when in his tantrums.
The King" as McManus has been
known for years, held the scepter and
welded it in the Potrero until the Welch
boys moved over there and ran a rival
house. The Welch boys had gone there
20 stay and the King ordered them to
leave. The clash came. Jack Welch and
McManus met, fought and the throne was
toppled. They met again, and again the
King fell. Thrice this occurred, each
time with the same result, and the Welch
boys ruled.
The climax came when Cornelius Nc
Manus, a brother of the King, came
over here from Ireland. Bent upon re-
seating his royal relative, be went forth
scrimmage the "Gossoon," as Cornelius
was known, shot Jack Welch in the side,
almost removing the vanqulsher nf his
brother to the great beyond. Welch re-
covered, however, and was magnanimous
enough to refuse to prosecute has as
sailant.
Shortly after that the Gossoon mixed
matters with a baseball-player named
Sweeney. The latter is now serving ten
years. sentence in San Quentin for man
slaughter and the Gossoon lies in grave
at Cypress Lawn Cemetery.
Frank McManus never got over the
death of his brother. He sought solace in
drink, and his once magnificent physique
fell away to mere skeleton OF his former
self
About one year ago dropsy set in upon
him, and he had been under the care OF
physicians from that time until the mo-
ment of his death.
One week ago he sold half interest in
his Third-street Iiquor-house to an old
1riend-George A. Ginn-who at one time
was known as the Mayor of Sausalito."
Believing his interests safe in the hands
OF his partner he hied himself 10 the home
of his brother James, an undertaken in
Oakland.
1t was at the latter's home he died
yesterday afternoon, during an operation
in which he was being tapped"
McManus was born in County Leitrim,
Ireland, in 1850. In 1882 he located per.
manently in this County. He leaves a
widow and son IL years old, also his
brothers, James, Patrick. William, and a
nephew named Terrence McManus.
The funeral will be held Wednesday
morning.

He Claims That the Terms of the
Contract Have Not Been
Carried Out.

lied Exor bitant Fees for
Interpreters.

Mayor Sutro surprised the Board OF Su-
peryisors yesterday when he vetoed the
order OF the board authorizing the pay
ment to City and County Surveyor Tilton
of $1,000 as final payment on the official
map recently ordered.
The Mayors reasons for the veto are
that the public has not had time to look
into the matter and that the terms of the
contract have not been strictly adhered to-
The Mayor in his message made the
following suggestions:
First-That the map, when fully completed,
be placed on exhibition for the period OF sixty
days, and that the public be invited TO exam
inc the same for any and all defects.
Second-That your body authorize me to ap.
point some competent and wholly d1slnter-
ested surveyor to thoroughly inspect the map,
to verify all OF its statements and TO report
thereon in writing, within such sixty days, as
to its accuracy and completeness.
When the public has had this opportunity
for the time named and such surveyor has re-
ported. and the map has stood this reasonable
scrutiny, then the claim can be presented Tor
final payment and the map can, by resolution,
be with certainty accepted as official.
Your attention is respectfully pointed to
the fact that the contract called for "the per-
1o-mance OF the above mentioned work on or
before the 1st day of October, 1896.
This claim is dated october IL, 1896, and
the authorization was passed october 10, 1896.
engineer and his deputies that the map is not
yeI completed for actual delivery.
Hence it might be questioned If anything is
now due.
Jerome Milard presented protest to
the board calling attention to the exor-
bi tant fees paid to Chinese interpreters
in the Police courts. He says that the
City is annually mulcted of an immense
sum by this means.
The protest is probably the outgrowth
of the recent friction between Millard
and Judge Lowe, whom the interpreter
recently characterized as being an advo-
cate of Chinese cheap labor. AS a result
Millard was indicted for libel, but was dis
charged by Judge Wallace.
d. S. Weaver applied to the board for
permission to take possession of certain
materials and fixtures furnished the City,
alleging that he has never been paid for
the stuff. The Finance Committee Ge-
cided that it could not grant the request,
for lack of jurisdiction, although the men,
bers said that personally they woald will
ingiy do so, as they believe he has been
| defrauded of his due.

MOVEMENT FOR BETTER ROADS.
Professor Hamilton Hopes to Bring About a
Great Reform.

Professor John Hamilton, deputy
secretary of agriculture, is collecting
facts relating to the system of public
roads in this state with view of sug-
gestlng measures that will lead to their
permanent improvement and at the
same time avoid the great expense
that has been heretofore regarded as
necessary by engineers and experts.
He proposes, first of all, to secure
the names of all road supervisors in
Pennsylvania, and afterward send to
them such information and advice as
will explain the methods that are
found successful and economical else
where, in the hope that at least some
OF these measures may be applicable
to their districts and be put into op-
Grafton. He believes the roads of
this state can be improved and put in
good condition with the present tax if
it is properly expended and in districts
where stones are easily obtainable
that turnpike roads, ballasted seven
feet wide and six inches deep with
finely broken stones, car be built for
less than $500 mile. He gives the
items of the cost and the method of
construction.
Blank forms have been sent out by
Professor Hamilton to all the Com
missioners' offices in the state request
ing complete lists of the supervisors.
Nearly one-half OF the counties have
already responded. Many of the Off
cials have written expressing their
sympathy and desire to cooperate in
this reform.

The Democratic Chance.

The Democratic party is not with
out fair chance of success in the
coming election if it remains true to
its own traditions and principles, and
stands fast by the splendid record on
this all-important money question
which its own administration has made
for it. And in any case, whether i
wins or loses in the coming contest,
it will stand infinitely better for the
future if it leaves populism to the
Populists and free silver to the free
silverites, and remains intrenched upon
the impregnable vantage ground o.
fidelity to the cause of honest money,
national solvency and honor and CON-
mercial common-sense.

As a Matter of Politics.

Do Democrats propose to give the
party of Mckinley, of Platt and Quay
this enormous advantage Merely as
a matter of "politics"-as the best
and safest move upon the political
chess-board-it is - the interest OF
the Democratic party to dec'rre for
sound money as emphatically and un-
equivocally as the Republicans have
done. And to this end until the day
the convention meets on the 9TH of
July, and until it shall have completed
Its work, the efforts of every sincere
and honest Democrat should be ad-
dressed. - Bakkim0re .Sun.

When you were a candidate for

you not afterwards issue an execution

cry, ring, but you don't tell the peo.
pie that you are forming one, with
yourself at the head.
Now just a word more before

that you have been very much griev-
ed over the fact that Mr.. Kline's
state tax account WIS not correct.

all state tax should be properly ac-
counted for and paid. You boast

In 1887 you were assessed with

the law, and refused to make sworn

directs. At three mills rate this
made the tax due from you $ro4.s4.
Did you pay it ? o, no. You were
not quite SO anxious about the treas
