Board of Health Does Not Re
move the Almshouse Super.
intendent.
A Large Number of Diaries Found to
Be in a Very Bad Sanitary
Condition.

Present indications are that Superin-
tendent Weaver of the Almshouse will be
retained in his position, at least during
the term of the present Board of Health,
and that the efforts recently made to dis
lodge him have come to naught.
"Some time ago Governor Budd indi-
Gated to the board that he desired a change
in the management of the City's poor
house, and that Edward Reddy, brother
of Patrick Reddy, the attorney, would be
an acceptable successor to Mr.. Weaver
At that time it was stated that the four
mem bers of the board, outside of Mayor
Sutro, were agreeable to the change, and
that it would probably be made at the
next regular meeting-that of yesterday.
As an act of the Legislature, passed some
time ago, made it necessary for four
fifths majority in the board to be obtained
before such change could be made, it be-
came necessary for the four medicos to
vote in harmony, and the trends OF Mr.
Reddy relied on this being done They
figured too confidently, however, for Dr.
Williamson showed an inclination to stand
by Weaver, and as the Mayor was u2ani-
nous with himself on the point, the oppo-
nents of the incum bent were not at all
sure Of their ground

California Louis James impersonations of

of applause. "Marmion" is on the bill

last time during James present engage
ment. "In Old Kentucky" will open at
the California on Monday.
Miss Marie wainwright and her COM

any particular significance, as such in
spections are made periodically OF all of
the institutions under the control OF the
board to ascertain their needs and TO sug-
gest Improvements. Communications in
dorsing Superintendent Weaver were re-
ceived from the Board of Supervisors.
Merchants Association, Protestant Epls-
copal church and Associated Charities.
All were placed on file without comment.
On the report of the Plumbing Inspector
it was decided to condemn the plum bing
of Branch Jail No. 3 and to keep closer
watch on the sanitary condition OF all the
public institutions in future.
The Pesthouse came in for another scor-
ing from all the members. Mayor Sutro
took the lead, declaring that the lnstitu-
ton was disgrace to San Francisco and
that if the Supervisors did not see fit to
build new hospital the old one should
at once be repaired. He thought that
$1,000 should be spent on the building to
make it habitable. The other members,
while unanimous on the point that the
Pesthouse was a disgrace to the City, were
not in line with the Mayor on the repair
ing proposition. They all declared that
the present building is beyond redemption,
and that new place should be built at
once.
Mayor Sutro urged that whatever was
done some means should be employed at
tunates now confined in the Pesthouse.
BY unanimous vote John Collins, chief
cook OF the Almshouse, was removed, and
D. I. Kearney appointed to take his posi-
ton.
Milk Inspector Dockery's report on the
dairies he had visited in the past month
showed a condition of affairs that caused
the members of the board to open their
eyes IN astonishment. He reported that
he had visited forty-fve milk ranches and
had found the majority in frightful
sanitary condition.
No attempts had been made in many
cases to remove the manure from the
vicinity of the places where the cows were
MIXED, and milk cans were often found In
close proximity to the debris.
Often cows were found in muck and
mire two feet deep, and their bodies even
to the udders were covered with filth. His
report on the cleanliness of the milkmen
was equally unfavorable. He stated, sar-
castically, that some of them looked as
though a good bath would result in their
death from exposure.
Veterinary Creely's report stated that
among the dairies examined with Dockery
he had found about so per cent where the
cows were healthy and fed on wholesome
food. In others like percentage of COWS
were anemic or tubercuious.
Further investigation will be made by
the board.

Policeman Hamilton Dismissed for
Stealing Bottles of Wine From

The Police Commissioners last night had
the resignation of Policeman A. j. Hamil-
ton before them. They refused to accept
it, preferring to dismiss him from the

them to boy who frequently walked with
him on his beat to take to his residence
on the corner of Sixth and Brannan
streets.
Sergeant Donovan met the boy and took
him to the Southern station, where he was
closely questioned. He broke down and
confessed what Hamilton had done. Cap
tam Spillane questioned Hamilton and he
said he had got the FIVE bottles frcm the
engineer in the warehouse. This the en-
gineer emphatically denied. The matter
was then reported to headquarters and
Hamilton rendered his resignation. He
had only been about two years on the
force.

tive and municipal conventions, the dele

nicipal conventions on the second Tuesday

By the provisions of the general primary
law, approved March 81, 1895, the applica-

fendant Supervisors to sit as q Board of
Election Commissioners during January

assessment roll the names of not less than
thirty electors, residing in each election

on January Z, 1896, the petitioner requested
the defendant Board of Supervisors to do

directs shall be laid aside to await final
choice of election officers. To this de-
mand the Supervisors OF Sacramento do
not respond. They refuse to select. the
names, as directed by the new law
In view of this refusal the petitioner con-
tends that no candidate can have his name

next election, for, unless nominated by a
convention organized and elected under
the law, no man can be legal candidate

Away During His Sons
Wedding Feast.
He Opposed Delaying the Ceremony
and Died During the Closing
Festivities.

guests we've leaving his sons wedding

cold, however, suddenly developed into
typhoid pneumonia in its most aggravated
and malignant form.
His son Lionel, whose marriage to Miss
Gertrude Naphtaly took place on Tuesday
evening, was anxious to have the wedding
postponed, but the dying man insisted
upon the ceremony being performed at the
time set. His condition being most seri-
GUS Mrs. Feigenbaum did not attend her
sons wedding. but rem aimed at her hus-
band bedside in the family residence, sos
Van Ness avenue, near McAllster street
Shortly before dawn the sick man passed
away, his sufferings, though acute, being
brief.
Mr. Feigenbaum was almost 63 years of
age and was born in Bavaria. He may
however, be called an old Californian, since
he came here forty-tive years ago, locating
himself in Humboldt County. After tif-
teen years he came to this City ana estab-
llshed the fancy-goods house OF Feigen-
baum d Co., at the head of which he re-
malned until two years ago, when he
retired, turning the business over to his
two sons, Lionel and julius. Besides

brother, Joseph Feigenbaum. His only
daughter died about seven years ago. The
funeral services will take place at the resi-

WASTED GREETINGS.
Honeyed Words Could Not Liquidate
Mr.. MaIoney's Bill for Room Rent.

Mr.. Maloney's Bill for Room Rent.
James J. Maloney is being sued in the
Justices Court by his ex-landlady, Mrs
Annie Horn, for $l2O. Mr.. Maloney is
known about town as an occasional guide
for Chris Buckley, the blind boss of certain
Democratic politicians.
Mrs. Horn keeps clearinghouse at $50
Bush street, and there Mr. Maloney
roomed until he had accumulated $l20 in
unpaid rent. Then he left, and on leaving
he delivered to Mrs. Horn a document
directed ITO whom it may concern" and
announcing that he owed his landlady the
$l20 and that he would pay the same in
monthly lnstallments. He has not done
so, however, and the only notice be has
since taken of the Obligation has been to
write to her and tell her he could not pay,
but wishing her a very happy New Year In
lieu of the January installment.
These honeyed words did not do much
toward liqnidating the Indebtedness, how
ever, and Mrs Horn employed John See
beck TO bring suit and see what the courts
could do in the matter.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. Sept. 1.-The
Minnesota delegation held a meeting
tonight, and the candidacy of Daniel
w. Lawler for vice president was in
formally discussed. The delegation
was willing to support him for the
place, but it was thought that the pc
culiar situation of the candidates made
1t very likely that, in case Watterson
was not nominated for president, the
nomination would go to state so near
Minnesota that it would be impossible
to secure the vice presidential nominal
ton for man from that state. Mr..
LAWYERS enthusiastic admirers deter
mined that it was as easy to secure
the nomination for first place as that
OF second, and it is possible that his
name will be presented for the first
place.
