SUTRO SEEKS A
NEW CONNECTION.
May Arrange to Transfer
With the California
Street Line.
The Road Scarcely Able to
Handle the Traffic on
Busy Days.
President Stetson Disposed to Enter
Into an Alliance With the
Mayor.

Among the probabilities of the near fu-
ture is an arrangement between the Cali
tornia- street cable road and the Sutro cleo
trio line, whereby one will transfer to the
other, thus giving another rapid through
line from the ocean to the ferries.
The original intention of Sutro before
his line was opened was to transfer to and
from the California street line, but for
some unknown reason the plan was
changed.
The popularity of the electric road run
ming to the ocean beach, the Cliff House
and the Sutro baths has exceeded. all ex-
pectations, and the rolling stock of both it
and it's present connection. the Suffer-
street line, has proved entirely inadequate
TO accommodate the traffic on busy days.
1t is to afford the public ample and COM
Portable facilities that the arrangement
mentioned is being talked OF.
In order to meet the largely increased
travel that is sure to result to the electric
line from this proposed connection, addi-
tional cars will be built and these will be
supplemented in some cases with trail
ers"-that is, an extra coach will be at
tached to the regular car.
Should the agreement be entered into
with the Calltornla-street line 1t VIII In
no way interfere with the existing transfer
arrangements between the Sutter-street
and Sutro line, nor with those between
the California-street and the steam line
from Central avenue, operated by the
Market-street Railway Company.
But, in view of the unpopularity that
Mr.. Vining, by his recent annoying trans
fer system, achieved for his various lines,
it is believed that with the Sutro- California
street combination in force there would be
Eheavy diversion of business from the
Sacramento-street and steam line route to
the more popular roads.
Mayor Sutro is out of town, and while it
was admitted at his office that there has
been "some talk" regarding the matter, it
was denied that any formal negotiations
had been opened.
President Stetson of the California
railway, when asked about the matter,
said that transfer arrangement would be
very agreeable to HIM and his company,
and if Mayor Sutro was inclined to bring
about such a connection he would be glad
to enter into an agreement with him.
It is believed that active negotiations
will begin during the latter part OF next
week.

HIS BONES TO LIE
IN THIS LAND.
The Strange Request of an
Aged Chinese Mer-
chant.
He Did Not Want His Body Sent
Back to the Flowery
Kingdom.
The Funeral Was Postponed Until His
Eldest Son Could Return
From China.

Ye Lo Di, rich Chinese merchant of
Lockeford CAL, died a month ago, but the
funeral was not held until Yesterday, as
Di had requested when he saw that his
end was near that his body should not be
buried until the arrival of his eldest son
from China. But the old merchant fairly
astonished his family and friends by the
last wish that he expressed.
Just before passing away he spoke to
those around him, saying, 81 am old
Nearly seventy-eight years have passed
over my head. / have lived in this land
since l was young man. My wife lives
here, and this land is the home of my
sons. Now let my old body be buried here
and my bones lie undisturbed for all time
in the land where have lived.'
Several urged old Di to follow the Gus
toms of his people and have his bones
sent back to China, but he was obstinate.
II have voiced my wish. My bones
must lie in the land where l have lived.
Let none interfere, he answered.
1t is safe to say that no one will disturb
his last rest, for, being wealthy while in
life, he was obeyed and, though now dead,
none will dare to disobey.
Four weeks ago the old man died and
all of the embalmer's arts were brought
out to preserve the body until the son ar
rived from China, where he had gone to
find his bride. The young man returned
a few DAYS ago and the remains were
brought to San Francisco for burial. From
an Oriental standpoint 1t was one of the
grandest affairs that money and friends
could procure. The body was laid out in
state in the rooms of the Kong Chow As
ISOLATION on Pine street, while on Bren-
ham place, near Clay street, the usual
Asiatic religious ceremonies, with the
mourners, the spread of edibles and strange
music were observed.
A little after o'clock the funeral cortege
started to the cemetery, and in the line
were over forty carriages containing rela-
tiyes and friends. After the BODY was
properly inferred the widow and her chill
dren returned to their home in Lockeford.
Ye Lo Di was among the first Chinese
to come to California. He was then a
Young man. Within few years he was
able to start in business in small way.
His natural shrewdness brought him in
many dollar, and by the time be reached
middle life he owned several stores.
Since then he has dealt extensively
in mining securities. and at the time
of his death was worth a goodly for
tune. BY all of his countrymen he was
highly respected, almost venerated, for
his honesty and generosity. In a few

THE BOYS BRIGADE.

testimonial will be rendered ]. II.
Russell Thursday evening, June %, in the
auditorium of the Howard-street NJ. E.
Church, under the auspices of the Fifth
Regiment Boys Brigade. Mr.. Russell has
devoted years of earnest work to the Boys
Brigades of the State. He has held promi-
nent offices in the local organization and
was State secretary for three years. He is
at present in command of the First Brigade
B. B. c..
About two years ago it looked as though
the Boys Brigade would have to pass out
of existence. Everything seemed against
it. The Woman's Christian Temperance
Union at it's national convention in Gin
cinnati, Ohio, in 1894, devoted almost an
entire day to the work OF the Boys
Brigade.
Miss Frances Willard delivered an adj
dress condemning the movement. She
held that it was Installing in the boys a
warlike spirit and not for peace. She
thought that the w. G. T. q. should place
themselves on record as being opposed to
the organization, which they did. Fol
lowing the action of the w. {. T.. u, most
of the strongest religious papers of the
East took up the matter, and in not one
single case did any have kind or encour-
aging word for the boys.
Prominent ministers in all parts of the
Union expressed their views strongly on
the question, and the Boys Brigade was
by no means assisted by their opinion.
The Northern California Conference of the
Methodist church passed resolutions con-
demning the movement. The indications
were that the work would have to be
abandoned, and many officers left the
field of battle discouraged and turned their
attention to the work of the Y. P. S. G. E.,
the Epworth League and organizations of
that nature. 1t was at this time that Mr..
Russell came to the front and, with his
enthusiastic spirit, carried with him the
officers who were willing to face the oppo-
sition.
Ministers and leading church members
were interviewed, and after many months
the hard work began to tell. The mothers
and fathers became interested in their
boys work, and little by little the strong
objections against the organization began
to disappear, until to-day the church
recognizes its worth and church members
are fostering 1t. The ladies are forming
auxiliaries for its support.
officers and members of the organiza-
ton say that in great degree the success
is due to their commander, Brigadier-
General Russell, and they are rendering
him this testimonial as mark of apprecia-
ton. They appeal to their friends to assist
in making this affair success. The
management of the entertainment is in
the hands of Lieutenant Colonel S. d.

A local physician has opened perfum-
ing bureau. and New York ladies are
coming TO him to have their favorite ex-
tracts injected into their veins with hypo-
dermic syringes. The point of the needle
is merely inserted under the skin of the
arm and several drops are pumped into
the veins. The result is said to be more
satisfactory than applying the perfume
externally, and for several days afterward
the body exhales delicate fragrance. 1t
is getting to be very common practice
here, and have no doubt it will spread
through the veins of all society.
