MUST Be BUILT AT ONCE.
Delay May Result in Loss of the
Home for Inebriates' Ap-
preparation.
DR.. Gavigan Urges That Site for the
Institution Be Chosen by the
Health Board.

DR.. Gavigan, to whose efforts mainly is
due the possibility of municipal home
for inebriates, says he has become deeply
concerned over the delay in the selection
of site for the proposed institution.
"The sum of $35, 600 has been appro-
priated by the Board of Supervisors for
the home" he said, land that money
must be expended before the end of the
present fiscal year. So it is q case of
urgent necessity that the home be finished
before July l.
1.-THE whole matter is in the hands OF
tn e Hospital Committee of the Board @
Supervisors. but this committee is waitin g
the action of the Board of Health, and
con sequently practi cally nothing has been
done by them. The committee has not
desi grated site for the institution. The
selection of site is the first step to be
taken, and once that were done the arc hi
tect could prepare his plans, and it would
not take more than four or fivesmonths to
complete the home. If prompt action be
taken the building can be ready for occu-
pancy by the end OF the fiscal year. Mr.
Mooser has been appointed arch itect but
he is waiting to hear from the Hospital
Committee before he can commence on his
plans.
1.-The intention is to open the home with
accommodation for fifty patients, and then
if the home should prove a public benefac-
ton the City authorities could enlarge it.
l see that the Receiving Hospital has not
sufficient or proper acco mmodations for
persons charged with insanity and de-
tanned pending examination. The home
would have ample accommodation for
such people, who would there be treated
according to the most approved methods
instead Of having them locked up in the
cold cells provided for them at the Receiv-
ing Hospital.
"However, if the Hospital Committee
and the Board of Health don't take prompt
action there is a possibility that the insti-
tuition cannot be established before the
fiscal year ends, and in that case it IS
doubtful if the present appropriation of
$35, 900 can be used at all.

BATTLE OF CAPE ST. VINCENT.
A Combination of Daring and Judg-
ment Gave Victory to the English.

Combination of Daring and Judg-
ment Gave Victory to the English.
AS naval action the battle of Cape St.
Vincent is distinguished by the firm reso-
luton which, for sufficient reason,
dared to engage against odds so
great; by the promptitude and vigor
with which was seized the unfore-
seen opportunity offered by the severance
of the Spanish fleet; by the sound iudg-
ment which led Jervis to attack the
weather division, though far largey be-
cause the lee could not for a long
time assist it; and finally, by the
brilliant inspiration and dauntless cour-
age which enabled Nelson to redeem in
time the single capital oversight committed
by the COMMUNICATIVE chief. This combi-
nation of daring and judgment, of skillful
direction with energetic determination to
have none but great results, marked an
epoch in naval history.
Succeeding the dawn that glowed around
the names of Rodney, of Howe and of
Hood this achievement of Jervis foretok-
ened the approach of that brilliant noon
tide of the British navy which was coin
cident with the career of Nelson, and cul-
minated at Trafalgar.

cupation is not that of a cook, increases
his income materially by cooking beef
steak so well that clubs are organized to
enjoy it. He has been doing this for half
dozen years, and he learned the art of
cooking beefsteak from a man who had
made business of it for a quarter of a
century. Most of these beefsteak suppers
are given in a hail on the West Side, near
Fifty-ninth street, where this special COOK
keeps his stove. He selects his steaks five
keeps them in an ice box until thew are
wanted. They are thick, JUICY steaks, and
they are cooked over hickory Goals and cut
and served between slices of bread. They
are almost as tender as the bread, and men
who have once enjoyed them are slow in
ordering steaks in restaurants. During
the winter there are two or three beef
steak parties every week in this hall. The
guests sit around the stove on empty
boxes, and use neither knives nor forks.

The Grand Lodge Supports Free
Religious Hebrew In
Stitution.
GRAND OFFICERS ELECTED.
Exciting Contest for the Office of
Grand Secretary-Amendments
to Bylaws.

The Grand Lodge of the Bnai Birth
Society at its session yesterday took up
the question OF free religious school for
children of poor Hebrews, and after an
animated discussion resolved to have such
an institution capable of accommodating
1000 children. Though there were differ
ent views presented in the debate among
delegates on this religious school, vet
only one sentiment pervaded the speeches
that present conditions called for a place
where the children could be educated in
their religion, in the Hebrew language, in
Jewish history and American history.
A law was passed finally authorizing
the appointment of a committee of seven
by the incoming grand president to devise
ways and means for the erection of a per-
manent building for the B'nai Birth free
religious schools.
1t was stated unofficially that the So
ciety owned a lot on Natoma street be-
tween Third and New Montgomery, and
seriously considered the advisability of
building there. The cost of the structure
was limited TO $4,000. The Grand Lodge
subscribed $17O0 for the maintenance of
the school, and $500 was contributed by
individual members.
For the first Zine in the history of the
order in this district law was passed pro-
yiding that each retiring grand president
be made member of the executive COM
mittee for the year after the expiration of
his term Of office. The object of this in
novatlon was to give the committee the
beneft of his experience in connection

RESTORE RECIPROCITY.

Whatever disposition the Fifty-ffth congress makes of the tariff question there should be no doubt of the enact ment of comprehensive measure pro- viding for reciprocal trade relations with other countries. The Republi- can National platform justly character izes the repeal of the reciprocity ar engagements negotiated by the last Re publican administration" as a 'Na- tional calamity" and explicitly de- mands a renewal and extension of that policy. President-elect Mckinley, in his letter of acceptance, speaks in the same strain.f
 Reciprocity is not an untried experi- ment. It has been thoroughly tested, and results have fully vindicated the wisdom of it. Under the provisions of the tariff law of 1890 special agreements were made with the West Indies and with states of Central and South Amer ica, and, although many of them did not go into effect until 1892, our ex- ports to those countries had increased in 1893 over S1O,0O0,000. In 1891, the year before the establishment of reel procity with Cuba, the value of our exports of merchandise to that island was only s12,224,SSS, and in 1893 it had reached S24,157,69S. Instead of 114, Al barrels of American flour being sold to Cuba, as was the case in 1891, we sold 616, ,496 barrels in 1893, a growth of nearly 800 per cent. Brazil was an other country with which we entered into reciprocal trade relations, and from 1890 to 1892 the value of our ex- ports of flour alone increased from s, BOA ,99O to s4,972, ,539. Our trade with Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, Sal vador, Colombia, British Guiana, Dutch Guiana and Venezuela, with all ot whom we had special tariff arrange cents, makes like showing.
 There is no reason why these grow ing markets for the products of Amer ican farms and mills should not be re- stored A reciprocity law requires nc elaborate study of tariff rates anG schedules. The provisions of the for mer law were few and simple Ina measure furnishes safe pattern for { new enactment.

sOvEREIGN's NONSENSE.

General Master Workman Sover- eign's wild shriek against aggregated wealth." in his address before the gen. eral assembly of the Knights of Labor, shows how much he really cares for the welfare of workingmen. Every where mills and factories are being opened, and multitudes of laborers are once more rejoicing over the prospect of steady employment at good wages. Yet, instead of congratulating the indus trial classes" upon such happy out look, as any true friend would do, Sov- ereign seizes the present occasion to endeavor to inflame workingmen against their employers. Fortunately, intelligent wage earners are not all lowing demagogues of the Sovereign and Debs stripe to do their thinking for them nowadays. With the return of general prosperity Sovereign may be in danger of being compelled to go to work himself
