RICHMOND MADE HAPPY.
s.
Red Rock in Active Demand
With the People West of
the Cemeteries.
Real Estate Has Taken a Jump OF
More Than Twice It's Value
in Ten Years.

Since the law allowing red-rock pave
ments went into effect the Richmond dis
trict has assumed a thorough business
like dash. Now Point Lobos avenue is
traversed by dozens of teams hauling red
rock from the quarry at the Cliff all over
the district for sidewalks and other
needed improvements, whereas previous to
its passage not one load was hauled to
this section.
As an example of the sudden revival in
improvements the Odd Fellows Cemetery
Association has given a contract for 5000
loads of red rock with which concrete
wall is being put round that portion
of the cemetery where the sandhilI stood
prior to its removal to fill up the hollow
on the inside of the old racetrack.
contract has been let by the property
owners on Sixth avenue, from b to Point
Lobos, to Felix McHugh for the construe-
tion of a sewer at ninety cents a foot,
which involves about $500. But on this
undertaking McHugh ran across snag !;
his BID was made upon the expectation
that he would find sandy bottom through
which he would run his sewer, but instead
he found blue rock and hard clay which
will leave him out of pocket quite large
sum as the sewer must 60 according to
specifications.
BY the way of comparison on the in
creased value of real estate in Richmond
district during the past ten years. T. G.
Parker, a real estate agent in this
valley, sold corner lot on Fourth avenue
and Clement street in 1886 for $1,000.
The same lot was sold by the same agent
| few weeks ago to G. B. Ryer for $3.50.
Upon this lot $4,000 building will be i'm
mediately erected. Nor is this an excep-
ton. Lots that ]. ]. O'Brien sold for S1OO
q lot some few years ago are now being
sold tor $1,000 for inside and $500 for cor
nsr lots.
The sandeaters of Warren & Malley are
getting away with the mounds in that
vicinity. The two paddles at work remove
! 5000 cubic yards of sand every day.
This is being hauled away upon railroad
fatcars propelled by horsepower and
dumped into the hollow which stood in
the center OF the Bay View racetrack since
the days of Noah and his family.
When this tract of land is filed in and
the avenues and streets laid out, it will be
one of the choicest building sites in the
district

ORPHANS SING sWEETLY
Little Girls Give a Concert at the Girls
Directory Asylum Yesterday
Albanian

A 'little concert" was given Wednesday
afternoon by the children Of the ST. Fran
els Girls Directory Orphan Asylum, in
presence of an assem- blage of admirers OF
the institution. Among those present
were several Catholic ladies of prominence
who are distinguished by their charity and
their interest in Catholic charitable insti-
tutions like the admirable orphan asylum
of st. Francis, on Buena Vista and Central
avenues.
The concert was given by the orphans
for the benefit of the' asylum, which has
been in need of financial assistance to
meet its necessarily heavy current ex-
penses. Nearly 200 children are at present
in the institution, and they are supported,
cared for and educated by the sisters with.
out the help of lay people.
The average number of children in st.
Francis Asylum is nearly 200. After some
time in the institution they are provided
with comfortable and proper homes. But
of late Sister Mines, the superiuress of st.
Francis, has felt the imperative demand
for ready money to continue the good
work in which'she is engaged, so the chill
dren took it upon themselves 10 assist her.
The opening mum Der was a song of well
come by chorus of little girls, and it was
followed by recitation, stSt. Francis

consisted of songs and recitations by the
children, interspersed with violin and
piano solos by Miss Marie Short and Miss

granddaughter of General Castro, will no
longer be Verne Allen, but Verne Castro.
The reason that Miss Castro has decided
to take the honorable name of her ances-
tors is because she has decided to go on
the stage. This determination will prove
a great surprise to the numerous friends
of Miss Castro, and yet from her own
affirmation she has been advised by her
friends to take this step ever since she
has been able to recite four consecutive
lines.
Her grandfather was one of the old
Spanish generals and was a Castilian of
CASTLE, representative of q nobility par
excellence. Moreover, her granduncle
was Alvarado, one of the first governors
of Spanish California.
Miss Castro has just graduated from
Mills College. She has much musical

An Honorary Degree at Leipsic
Has a Very Flattering
Sequel.
DR.. Stratton's Thesis Sought by q
Great Psychological Journal
of Europe.

The academical honors conferred in Eu-
rope upon George M. Stratton are of an
exceptional sort. Some mention has been
made of the fact that the Leipsic Uni
versifys from which he has recently been
graduated, conferred upon him the honor
of summa cum laude, which in itself, con.
sidering all the circumstances, was a
mark of great distinction. The news has
just been received that Professor Wundt
has requested from DR.. Stratton his thesis
for publication in the Philosophishe Stu
dien, which is the most important psyche
logical journal in Europe. Only authors
who are masters of their work are admit
ted to the columns of this publication, and
the honor of mention is eagerly coveted by
European students on account of the high
critical standard which is maintained by
its management. "The fact that DIR,
Stratton's paper has been requested" !" Pro-
fessor Howison said yesterday, sis proof
that DR.. Stratton Is considered an impor-
tant person in science"
Professor Howison is naturally much
pleased at the success abroad of Dr. STRAIT
ton, who was graduated in 1888 from the
department. IN the University of Califor-
MIA of which Professor Howison is the
head. Among the members of the fac.
ulty of the State University who are in
Berkeley the feeling of slation is general
because DR.. Stratton in his success also
reflected great creoit abroad upon the
California institution through which he
passed. He was an industrious and bril-
liant student at Berkeley, with sufficient
mental grasp and acuteness to lead to an.
ticipations of brilliant career for him
which anticipations he seems likely &c
completely fulfill. He went TO Europe
