The Mayor Asks and Receives
Two Months Leave of
Absence
TO FIGHT THE FUNDING BILL.
Supervisors Will Investigate the Gas.

Source.


hands OF the Board of Supervisors yester.
day vacation of two months, to date
from to-day.
Inc matter came as a complete surprise
to the majority of the members of the
board, though two or three of the City
fathers were evidently expecting the re.
quest.
Ihe Mayor is very reticent regarding his
reasons for asking so long leave of alb.
sence, but it is understood that he will
shortly go to Washington to make per-
sonai hight against the passage OF the
funding bill and try to convince wavering
members OF Congress that to pass the
measure means much against the pros
perity of the Pacific States, as well as the
country at large.
Some months ago, when the concerted
movement was made to raise funds to edu-
cate Congress regarding Pacific Coast af-
fairs, Mayor Sutro expressed belief that
while the efforts of the committee would
have some effect the railroad had a fight
Ing chance to win its point, and that some
one thoroughly conversant with the SUBJ
Ject should be sent to the National capital
to make fight to the death. He stated at
the time that, if necessary, he would 60
himself, and it is now believed that he
thinks the real hour of battle has arrived
and that very brief period will see him
face to face with Coils P. Huntington be-
fore the National legislators.
The Mayor made no explanation of his
request when it was presented before the
board. 1t was granted unanimously, and
Supervisor Taylor was elected temporary
chairman in Mr.. Sutro's absence.
The board decided that the water sup
ply of the Castro lakes, near Casrroville,
Monterey County, is worth investigation
with view of purchasing the rights for
the purpose of furnishing San Francisco
with water and set May 2 as date for
visiting the lakes in body.
the superintendent of Streets reported
to the board that q site for the United
States Observatory, formerly located in
Lafayette Square. could be had in Alta
Plaza, south of Jackson and opposite
Pierce street, and the matter was referred
to the Street Committee for investigation.
The matter of awarding the contract for
the plans of the pro posed Home for Dipso-
malnacs came up on the report of the
Committee on Health and Police, which
recommended that the work be given to
Mooser & Mooser.
Supervisor Taylor moved that the sub
iect be laid over for two weeks, in order to
give the Supreme Court chance to pass
on the recent decision of the Superior
Court declaring that the lot on which it is
proposed to build the home belongs to the
City. The motion was carried.
A vote was taken on the matter OF
awarding the contract for furnishing plans
for the new municipal building, and as a
deadlock still existed the subject went
over for week.
The ordinance putting the matter of ex-
tending the hog limits over for six months
was passed to print without dissenting
voice.

Easy to Make Beautiful Co1ors With
the Reliable Diamond Dyes.
Scores of women in Sacramento are
to-day wearing. dresses of fashionable
color that would have been thrown
aside long ago had it not been for Dia-
mcnd Dyes. With ten-cent package Of
these simple home dyes, even the novice
can dye fast and beautiful color equal
to the work of the professional dye
house.
Cloaks. capeS and shawls are readily
dyed, so that a faded garment will look
as though it was right from the shop.
Out of the fifty different kinds of D1a-
mond Dyes, twelve are special fast coll
will not crock or fade, even when
washed in strong soapsuds. These dyes
are made from a peculiar combination
of dyestuffs and cannot be had except
in the Diamond.
For over twenty years Diamond Dyes
have been the standard home dyes, and
have taken the place of crude dyestuffs
and unreliable package dyes in all parts
of the world. This marvellous success
has naturally inspired more or less
worthless limitations, sold to the trade
at a less price, and which a. few unscru-
pulous dealers urge upon their custom
.ers. The only way to insure success in
home dyeing is to use only the Diamond,
the strongest, fastest and most success
full of all dyes
