CEMETERY IN THE ROAD
Western Addition Improvement Club
Desires the Calvary Cemetery Wall
Moved Back Five Feet.


At regular meeting last evening of the
Western Addition Improvement Club at
Coakley's Hall on Gearv street, near Cen
tral avenue, communication was ordered
to be forwarded to the Board of Super
visors complaining of the action of the
Sutro Railroad Company, and asking
them to compel said road to comply with
the terms of its franchise in making the
intersection CT Geary street and Central
avenue its terminal point instead of Sutter
street and Central avenue.
1t was stated by Colonel Coakley that
last Friday, during stoppage of the Sut-
ter-street line, people were obliged to walk
down 10 Geary street and pay an extra
fare in order to get to town.
a communication was also ordered to be
forwarded TO the Board of Supervisors,
appealing to them to assist the good work
of the Board OF Health by allowing them q
liberal appropriation, such as was asked by
the Merchants Association, for more
thorough food inspection and the estab.
fishing of the four inspection stations fol
this purpose.
A communication was ordered to be
sent to the Board of Supervisors callinp
their attention to the wall inclosing the
Calvary Cemetery on the south side OF
Geary street, between ST. Joseph avenue
and Central avenue, running west. 1t i.
claimed that this wall occupies five feet O
the public thoroughfare and should be re
moved back to the surveyed line of tn,
cemetery property proper. The wall O
the cemetery on Geary street living west
of Central avenue has recently beer
moved back five feet. The remaining nor
tion is the only obstruction of this Dor
ton OF Geary street.
The attention of Superintendent Ash
worth was also called to this matter, ask
ing him to direct his attention in hi
official capacity toward remedying thi
evil.

with which the subject OF equal suffrage Is
being discussed in social gatherings OF
ladies all over the City.
Among the letters received by Miss
Hav, the chairman, was one couched In
glowing and triumphant terms, stating
that MADEIRA County had been completely
organized for the cam mpaign, there being
woman suffrage clubs in every town in the
county. Miss Mills reported great things o.

REACHING AFTER TrlE SOUTHERN
TRADE.

The Cotton Exposition at Chicago,
made, will go very far towards helping
that city in increasing it's Southern
trade. Chicago Is making great efforts
10 successfully compete with the East
for this trade and with 4 determined eff
fort many are of the opinion that il
will succeed
Certainly there is a desire OH the par,
of the Southern people to add to the
number of markets for the disposition
of their products. and It appears that
the Southern Cotton Exposition at
Chicago offers an opportunity In that
direction.
In fact the volume OF trade from the
South to that point is growing, and has
been growing for the past few years.
and II has already been demonstrated
that the accommodations offered there
are equally as satisfactory as in New
York. The South is no longer compclled
to look solely to New York for financial
aid. nor is 1t so much needed now as I'm
former years, but when il is needed there
are other sections ready to meet ell It's
requirements.
The same is the case for It's export
facilities. Other ports than that OF the
great metropolis stand ready and are
anxious to handle Southern exports.
and. therefore, it looks as though very
much OF the trade of the South, which
formerly went to New York. may be
divided.

JUDGE EIANCKEL AND TlIEsuCIAI,
CLUES.

The remarks of Judge'Heackel, render
ing his decision In the case of one OF the
so-called Social Clubs" that infest this
city, meets the approval and commenda-
ton of every good man and woman in
Norfolk, and the VirGinian but echoes
the general sentiment of the law abiding,
order-lov!ns people of our city in eX-
tending to him for them their generous
congratulations These CLUBS" are fes-
terlng sores, so full of corruption that
they are stencil, needing suppression
Their organization has caused more
harm and more injury to the home life of
hundreds OF households in our city than
any other existing evil. They are de-
basing and pernicious in the greatest de-
tate to express its approval of the efforts
of our police authorities to suppress
them.
With the positive stand taken by Judge
Hanckel 1t is hoped that the efforts of
the police officials will be redoubled to
secure their suppression. Many moth
er and many wife-many n daughter
ana many a sister-will pray that sue
cess may attend their efforts The an
peal OF "A Wife" some weeks ago pub
iished In these columns, caused a feel

OUR DEfENsELEss COASTS.

One of the principal Congressional
probabilities OF the present week, says
the Washington Star. is the reporting
of the fortiilcatiors bill. and It is under
stood that the total amount believed
by the committee to be necessary to
satisfactorily fortify the principal sea-
const cities will be about $4,000, 900. But
only, 1t says that a small percentage of
the aggregate will be required now.
For 81 100000 work may be carried on
until July LIST; during the next fiscal
year there will be good use for s., SOC. 900
and then for each OF the ten succeeding
years $S,000,000 Is asked. AS our con-
temporary remarks, In one lump SSI .000,-
600 looks like n great deal OF money
but when consideration is given the vast
amount of work which has to be done
before the salient points of our coasts
can be regarded as reasonably defended
the amount, 1t thinks. does not seem to
be cxtravagant and that when further
consideration is given the enormous
values that are now entirely without
protection. the amount asked for by the
committee is by comparison almost in
iinitsmal.
The Star says that ii is the desire of
the Fortificatons Committee to hasten
10 completion the plans which have
been approved by the authorities, yet
as the bill under discussion indicates
the good work cannot be completed in
less than about twelve years. 1t is not
known what will be the iiral action upon
this patter, but certainly our seacoast

Dor of Grand Army posts. it will hardly
be possible to get the men who wore
the gray to participate in such par
ade.
The ex-Confederates have no desire to
force themselves upon anybody. and the
fact Is that they would never have con-
scented to have taken part in the pro-
posed parade had they have known that
there was the least objection to 1t. The
proposition originally came from u
Northern source. and the belief was that
there was a lrrunimity OF feeling
among all classes for the parade or
otherwise 1t would not have been en-
tertained. However, this proves not to
have been the case. and in the light of
Commander Walkers objection no par
ade of joint character such as was
proposed is likely to take place.

TIE People AND THE orrrcrs

Under the above heading our contcm-
porary, the Landmark. comments upon
the shelving III the State Senate OF the
bill Of Hon. M. II. Cooke. making 1t
mandatory upon the Sherirfs or cities
and counties to submit ut the end of
each month duly certified report to
the Judges of the respective courts, In
Which documents were to be given, with
such additional details as might be ne
cessary, the number of prisoners in
charge, the offenscs for which they had
term Of confinement
AS shown by The Landmark, not a
single argument has been advanced
why the bill OF Mr.. Cooke should not
be passed by the Senate. but that 1t
would be detrimental to the personal
profits of the Sheriffs. who would be
compelled to make public numerous rec
Just to the people. 1t intmates. that
the reason 1t has not been acted upon
by the Senate, Is the attendance OF q
strong organized lobby In the interests
| of the Sheriff. kept there to defeat all
such measures. and that the strength of
| such u lobby has been made self evident
on number OF occasions.
| Thus 1t is. that the will of the people Is
| frequently thwarted In our Legislative
assemblies. The lobby in Richmond is
an active body. Public opinion and the
voice of the people uttered with no
uncertain sound is what is needed to
lcorrect this condition OF affairs. The
bill Of Mr.. Cooke should be passed.
