IN PROGRESSIVE POTRERO.
Several New Buildings and
Other improvements in
Evidence.
The Rough Cowboy and Tough Hood
lum Have Been Compelled to Re-
treat in Dismay.

That portion of the metropolis known as
the Potrero and South San Francisco was
until quite recently as remote from the
real city of San Francisco as though it was
an adjacent and separate township gov
erned by corporate body of its own. This
condition of affairs has, however, changed
since the old time. Long Bridge" has
disappeared and in its stead extends a
continuous well-paved street running from
the southern end of Fourth street TO the
far end of South San francisco, and upon
which line of electric cars run regularly
from North Beach to the end of Kentucky
street and Sixteenth avenue. This with
cross-line on Sixteenth street tapping the
Western Addition to Kentucky street at
the Union Iron Works has brought the
heretofore isolated section into direct
of the City proper.
Asa consequence of this facility OF direct
and speedy m cans of. travel the southern
section has started in to improve its con-
dition by commencing to build handsome
resid ences and stores on the principal
streets.
The old rookery on Kentucky and Yuba
streets known as the "King's CASTLE is
being torn down for firewood and the
owner OF the premises Dr. WllklnS, is
about to erect substantial three-story
brick building in its stead. Other less pre-
tentious buildings will also soon be built
on that portion of Kentucky street ada
cent to the rolling mills and SpreckeIs'
sugar mills. Such buildings have become
a necessity in consequence of the number
of workmen employed in that portion of
the city The Union Iron Works alone
has over LOO men on its payroll. Spreck-
els Sugar Works employs about 600 men
the year round. These, with the rolling
and the rope works and other smaller
places, including Butchertown, contain
quite population, the greater portion of
which has resided this side OF Islais Creek,
but the mem bers of which are now to en-
Joy their homes on the sunny slope OF
Potrero Heights.

THE PROTESTANT ORPHANS
Reports of the Work for a Year
of the Orphanage on Haight
Street.
Decrease in the Number of Inmates
and the Explanation
Given.

The forty-fifth annual meeting of the
Protestant Orphan Asylum was held yes
terday at st. Johns Presbyterian Church
Reports were read to show that there were
205 children in the asylum at the begin
ming OF the year-February L, 1895. Since
that time forty have been admitted, fifty.
nine have been removed by friends, eleven
have been indentured to homes. two have
been sent to the home for feeble-minded
children and two have been adopted.
One report read at the meeting sets forth
that the decrease in the number of chill
dren care d for is not from any lack on the
part of the management to receive and
care for the homeless little ones, but that
the explanation may be found in the re-
cent establishment of other Protestant or
phanages which draw from the class which
but few years ago could find shelter only
within the walls of the Protestant Orphan
Asylum or those of the Home of the La
dies Protective and Relief Society.
The year was prosperous one, and
there were but two changes in the corps of
employees and two IN the corps of teachers.
Mrs. e. A. MeNear, the matron, is still in
charge, and Mrs. Won Tillow still holds the
principalship of the school. Extensive
but necessary repairs were made to replace
what decay had weakened.
During the year R. E. Raimond, one OF
the trustees, passed away, and W. B.
Hooper was chosen to fill the vacancy, and
G. r. Bishop was chosen to fill the vacancy
caused by the continued absence from the
State of William Babcock.
The report concludes with expressions
of gratitude for legacies and contributions
received during the year.
Not death mas occurred at the asylum
for five years. There are now 40 children
in the asylum. This is smaller number
than the society has had to care for in
many years. 1t is felt that the decrease in
applications for assistance is an encourag-
ing sign.
The report of the treasurer, Mrs. w. A.
Haight, is as follows:

He says that when he went away from

MORE CHATTEL-DEAL|NG
Wholesale Landing of Chinese
Women in This City
Yesterday.
The Notorious Lee Gee of Forged
Opium Stamp Fame in Business
Again.

Collector of the Port John II. Wise is
evidently being hoodwinked by some one.
During the past three months no less than
sixteen Chinese women have beeni Handed
by the Chinese bureau, and OF that num-
ber fourteen are now in Chinese dens.
Almost all of them were passed by
the Collector as "native daughters" but
the evidence that supports their claim is
all that of their own countrymen.
The whole scheme to beat the Govern
ment and so get slaves into Chinatown
will be revealed in a few days and the Col
lector will then wonder that he was ever
so credulous. Little Pete and Lee Gee,
who came into prominence when Internal
Revenue Agent B. M. Thomas name was
forged on the revenue stamps. are rivals
for the control of the slave trade and each
is telling tales on the other. When the
Gaelic arrived from Hongkong few days
ago she had seven women aboard, all OF
whom were said to be wives of merchants
or native daughters. When the Rio de
Janeiro got in some weeks ago she had
three women aboard, all consigned to
Little Pete. The Coptic brought five
women, all of whom were landed, and the
three previous steamers brought two each.
Pete's three women who came on the
Rio de Janeiro were landed yesterday and
two of those on the Gaelic were also given
their liberty. The other five, who are still
detained, will be brought before the Col
lector to-day, and if the Chinese succeed
in carrying out their programme they will
be landed. One thing is certain, as long
as the native daughter" mill can be
worked there will be no lack of slaves in
Chinatown.
Connected with Lee Gee in the business
of landing women is Lee Hoy. These two
and Little Pete control the business, but
latterly there has been split and now each
side is ready to sacrifice the other In the
meantime very few women will be landed
in San Francisco, and by the time the i'm
portations begin again Collector Wise will
probably have learned something OF the
inside workings of the gang. Of the
women now on the Gaelic Lee Gee and Lee
Hoy have an interest in every one, and
should they succeed in landing them the
market price of the girls would be $3.50.
The chances are that the Gaelic will take
them back to China.

perity there is still another that speaks
well for the law-abiding element in that
section: This is that the aButchertown
rowdy" is thing of the past. For this
condition of affairs the inhabitants are
grateful to Lieutenant George Bennett of
the police force, who has been the real
cause OF driving the rough cowboy and
tough hoodlum out of the south end of
the City. In days gone bv when there
used to be over hundred arrests registered
from that section there are not twenty
now, and the few that are made by the
ten police officers are generally for some
minor offense.

magnetic presence would make everybody
happy around him. Why is it not so? One Of
the principal reasons is the universally prevail
ing tobacco habit. Tobacco kills nerve. Stay
with tobacco long enough and every man will
be sallow, skinny, nerveless wreck inspiring
disgust instead OF love and affection. No man
who uses tobacco can be as much of a man as
without it.
No grasp so strong as the death grip of
habit, and man once fully in its clutches is
helpless without aid. That's WHY every to-
baeco- user has the same good excuse can't
quit" No-To-Bac removes this only excuse
and any one who will can quit easily, quickly
and permanently. Here's an instance:
