Would Have the Wife a Wage.
Garner Like the
Husband.
THE NOTION CHARMS WOMEN.
And Even Men, When They Thor.
oughly Understand Her, Be.
come Her Disciples.

Over on the classic Berkeley hills lives
Miss Bertha Monroe Kickoff, young
woman whose intellectual influence on
questions pertaining to the advancement
of her sex is constantly spreading, and
whose ideas on this theme, it is singular 10
state, become more attractive to the mas
culine MIND the more clearly they are
understood.
Miss Kickoff believes in woman's ad-
vancement pure and simple. She says
women are emancipated enough at the
present day.
She would have wives engage in profit
able occupations, either in kind OF part
nership with their husbands, perhaps, or
in some other line of business wherein
their particular abilities would be best
used.
In this way husbands would find long
desired financial aid. women would not
then," said Miss Kickoff yesterday, sat
tract so much through the purely sem
suous element as they do now.
II have seen so many young girls whose
parents were poor and who were being ed
ucated to fill no remunerative position
whatever and then 81 have seen young
men who were old enough to marry and
desired to m AIRY, yet were not financially
able. Suppose that these girls could also
support themselves. Then marriage
would become possible"
Miss Kickoff is an ardent believer in the
development of home virtues. She advo-
Gates woman's advancement, but on wo-
manly lines. She boldly declares that suf-
frage is not the sum total OF this advance
ment.
ut is a misfortune" said she, "that the
suffrage question has ever been called
'woman's rights 1t has put woman in
belligerent attitude and this has done
much to antagonize the most conserva-
tive element.
81 would not Danish the home or the
ties of affection between man and woman.
l would simply make woman more attrac-
tive to man by her usefulness, and conse-
quently her increased ability to sympa-
thize with him and hold him to herself.
Home then would become even more
sacred. and affection would be truer and
stronger"
1t occurs to those who listen to Miss
Kickoff speak with animation on this
subject, that it really would be very de-

NO PLACE FOR WORKMEN
Guatemala Is Not a Paradise
for Mechanics of Any
Kind.
Deluded Seekers After Wealth Travel
Far to Find Disappoint-
ment.

The mechanics who went from here
some time since to Guatemala 10 work on
the exposition buildings there, and who
have been under the impression that
Guatemala was booming and was good
place to go to, are writing here that it is
really no place for the California citizen
and are advising them to stay at home.
Harry Blanchard, one OF these, has writ
ten to friend here, as follows:
We arrived in this place two days ago. Jack
and l went to work this morning at Sc per
day but we do not know how long the work is
going to last. Everything in this place is
dear. Jack Conway paid "a tor hat that you
can get in San Francisco for so cents. A pair
of boots cost $11. 1t will cost US $50 per
month for our living, and very poor at that.
You cannot get meal fit to eat for less than
is out of the question Do not advise any OF
the boys to come to this country. They are
better off in San Francisco.
The sub1oined letter from Guatemala
City, and bearing recent date, sheds
further light on the situation there. The
letter is from John Conway, MIR. Blan-
chard's friend. and reads:
81 will give you dead pointer, if knew
as much when was in San Francisco /
would have stayed there. We worked five
davs last week and Saturday evening
Harry got laid off. Harry has not struck
anything since, for there are lots of good
mechanics out of work. More are coming
too, on every steamer.
.This worlds fair that they are going
to have here is bringing men from all
over. Advise your friends to steer clear
of Guatemala, for there is nothing here.
Ofcourse the wages look big, but when you
take into consideration what you have to
pay for board lodging and the little things
you may happen to need you are really
working for about 81 25 day in our
money.
"In the first place 81 in our money is
worth 81 20 in Guatemala money, SO you
see Sc so a day is really only little over
81 so in our money.
"Then you must consider $50 for board
and $12 for your room each month, and
your washing will amount to $5 or Sc.
Now is the rainy season, too, so there is no
chance to work steady, for about all the
work is on the outside, on the roofs of
buildings. The buildings are all built of
DOLBY and have tile floors. No inside finish
at all, only a few doors and windows, and
the natives get most all that, for they do
the work at half what an American will.
"We board in q Chinese restaurant, it
being the cheapest. You cannot touch
the hotels for less than 81 day, and the
grub you get is something horrible. We
get coffee at $3.50 A. NJ and go to work at
Z; quit at IL for breakfast. go to work
again at II, work until and have dinner
at 6. You get nothing here but mescal,
which is cents glass; and one is enough
for you, too. A small glass of gin or
liquor costs 25 cents"

SHE rs SLOWLY DYING.
Mrs. John j. FarrelI's Life Despaired
Of-Her Statement Almost
UninteIlieibIe,

The life of Mrs. John T. Farrell fickered
like an extinguishing candle all during
yesterday. The unfortunate woman, sur
rounded by her family and friends, lay at
her home, at 20 Henry street, with every
prospect of an early death as result OF
the rash act In which she INDUCED to fight
off the cares of maternity.
The authorities have detained DR.. Nc
Beth, the physician who. the woman
claims, attended her and placed her in her
present critical condition.
Yesterday morning he was escorted to
the woman's home, but she was unable to
recognize him as the physician who treated
her. The detectives have secured an ante
mortem statement from the woman, but it
is so indistinct and uninteliigible that it
can hardly be nsed as evidence. In it the
WON an claims that her visit to the offices
of the physician dates back month or
more.

VAN BUSKIRK AND

roll Contest

Tonight occurs the long talked-of mill
between Van Buskirk and Stelzner, and
the sports are going down into their
pockets for the wherewlthal necessary to
feast their eyes on what is regarded as q
most interesting bout.
The advance sale of tickets at 900 Mar
ket street yesterday was very large, and
Managers Gibbs and Groom of the Ma
tional Club are much elated thereat. To-
day it is confidently expected that enough
seats will be sold for the contest to fill the
house to oyerfowing.
DR.. G. G. O'Donneli, who is accredited
with missing no prizefght of consequence
held in San Francisco since the Dark
Ages, is rumored to have entered florist 8
last evening and left orders for basket
full of flowers with which to deck the brow
of the victor. The gentleman in question
denies this, but admits that the fight would
amount to nothing without his inspiring
presence.
Van Buskirk is out at the Six-mile
House putting on the artistic touches
necessary to put him in first-class condi-
tion. He is very confident that SteIzner's s
star will either shine tomorrow with
verv dim light or be transformed into a
comet and take an e.ratic course into
| interstellar regions out of sight of the
naked public eve.
Steiner is training with Choynski. He
does no talking whatever, which only adds
another mysterious element to the mans
rather peculiar personality. In the last
few days his admirers have been wagering
pretty heavily on him. Local opinion is
that this contest is going to be pretty
close one This excludes Harry Watson,
whose faith in his pupil Van Buskirk, is
as great as Barney Farley's IN the ''Mis-
sion Giant
One thing is pretty sure, there is not

THE GRAND JURY.
It's Final Report Will Earnestly Recon-
mend the Adoption of tho New
Charter.

The present Grand Jury, which was inn
paneled last December, may adjourn sine
die next week. Work on the final report,
which was interrupted last week by the
sickness of Expert Dunn, has been re-
sumed.
Foreman Frank Maskey returned yester-
day from Marysville, and Theodore F.
Payne Is here again from the redwoods.
At the session of the jury next Friday the
expert may report the result OF his in
spection of the books of the Edison Light
and Power Company. The foreman has
received information that the company
offered no objection to the examination of
the books.
1t is said that the report OF the Grand
Jury will earnestly advocate the adoption
of the new charter by the voters of San
Francisco and will contain facts and
figures to prove that the taxpayers cannot
obtain much relief from extravaganza
in the management OF municipal affairs
unless the proposed charter be accepted.
John Landers, one of the committee
appointed TO prepare the final report, will
be obliged to leave for Honolulu on the
steamship that goes next Saturday.
