RECEPTIONS AND DANCES
A Large Tea Announced for
Saturday at the Mclean
Residence.
Reception for Miss Charlotte Jewell.
Women's Press Association
Entertained.

The most prominent event of the week
will undoubtedly be the tea to be given
by Mrs. Robert Mclean on Saturday al
her elegant home on Pacific avenue The
date originally fixed for the fashionable
entertainment was February Is, but owing
to sickness in Mrs. McLean's family, the
lady was obliged to postpone it to Satur.
! day. A great number of invitations have
been issued for the affair, and as Mrs. Nc
Lean is most delightful hostess and her
home eminently adapted for large enter
tainments, the Saturday tea will certainly
be a most enjoyable function.
A prominent Jewish marriage that is at
tracing considerable attention is that OF
Miss Selma Altmayer. daughter of A.
Altmayer, president of the new Bash
street temple, and ]. NJ. Jacobi a promi-
nent manufacturer of this City.
The wedding, which will take ..place on
the 4th of March, will be solemnized in the
Rush-street synagogue, and is all the more
interesting seeing it is the first marriage to
be solemnized in the new temple.
There has not been synagogue wedding
which is always most ella aborate and i'm
pressive affair-since the brilliant mar
riage of Rabbi Metz and the lovely Miss
Frankel, one of the handsomest bellies in
Jewish society.
On Saturday evening last Mr.. and Mrs.
II. Bloch gave delightful reception at
their handsome residence on Devisadero
| street in honor of their lovely and attractive

ferns lined the walls and covered all the
corners in the drawing-room, stting-room ana

! and misty ferns yelling pink carnations and

| colors-red and green. The orchestra was sta
| toned in the library, behind screen of
| palms, and furnished delightful music durin g
| the evening.
Shortly after 10 O'Clock dancing was in
augurated. During the evening Miss Lillian

CHIEF CROWLEYS Loss,
His Son Samuel Died Yesterday
After a Lingering
Illness.
The Police Commissioners Adjourned
Last Night Out of Respect to
His Memory.

The Police Commissioners did not do
any business last night. After President
Tobin had called the meeting to order
Commissioner Gunst rose and said: "I
move that the meeting do now adjourn
out OF respect to the memory of Chief
Crowley's son." The president declared
the meeting adjourned and that was ALL
The heartfelt sympathy of the mem bers
of the Police Department and the public
generally will be extended to Chief Crow
ley and Mrs. Crowley in their sad affiic-
ton. Their son Samuel after lingering
illness died yesterday afternoon in his
thirtieth year. He had been gradually
wasting away and on Monday the Chief
insisted that the attending physicians
should tell him the worst. They reluc-
family told him that his son could not live
more than two days, and SO it proved.

our sors. 1t was bad enough to lose one,
young manhood is doubly hard to bear"
The Chiefs younger son, Louis, an am.
liable, bright and Intellectual young man
educated for the church, died about three
years ago in his twentyfourth year, and
his loss was terrible blow to his father
and mother.
Samuel was born in this City and wa. a
member of Yerba Buena Lodge of the Ma

year or two ago he was q strong robust
young man, but an insidious disease grad

Preambles and Resolutions Sent to
the Police Commissioners for
Consider alton.

The California State Protective Associa-
tion forwarded few days ago the follow
ing communication to the Board of Police
Com missioners, which would have been
considered at last nights meeting OF the
board if it had not been adjourned out of
respect to the memory of Chief Crowley's s
son:
SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 20, 1896.
To the Honorable the Board Of Police Commits
stoners of the City and County of San Frdncisco-
GENTLEMEN: The undersigned, com prising the
tective Association, beg leave to submit to the
consideration of your honorable body certain
preambles and resolutions embodying the
policy and general purpose OF the association
in behalf of the correction of certain evils and
abuses in the liquor traffic.
These resolutions which we submit to your
honorable body are intended for general appli-
cation throughout the State, and are now
transmitted as an initial step in an enueavor
to enforce these principles through our organi-
cation In every county and municipality in the
State, thereby placing the business of repu-
table wholesale and retail merchants beyond
just criticism.
1t is to be presumed that your honorable
body has at hand the ready means through
the instrumentality of your police force to
ascertain the places and establish ments in
this City whose past methods and present
practices forfeit their right to license privi-
lleges, but in case our cooperation in this be-
half is desired our organization will furnish
you the names of such places as we believe are
unworthy to hold liquor license by reason of
their abuse of its privileges.
Assuring you of our high esteem and i'm
pllcit confidence in your readiness to reetify
evils when properly brought to your attention,
we beg to remain, yours respectfully,

com panied the communication:
WHEREAS, 1t is the purpose OF the California
State Protective Association to promote the in
terests of its members by assisting far as pos
sible in the reasonable and proper regulation
OF the liquor traffic, and thereby suppressing
Objectionable and obnoxious features incident
thereto. SO that the business, property and
vested rights of reputable persons and firms
engaged therein may not be jeopardized; and
whereas, the promiscuous granting of retail
liquor licenses and the abuse of privileges
under those already granted is calculated
TO- to injure the business; and whereas,
this association will not countenance infrae-
tions of reasonable regulations, and requires

improvements at present.
The Richmond district property-owners
are anxiously discussing the question of
paving their streets. Their watchword is
Improvement" but they are beginning
to think that they have about as many
projects on hand for the advancement of
their district as they can stand at present.
The recent proposal to bituminize certain
thoroughfares has divided Richmond,
that heretofore has pulled so well together.
The larger portion OF the residents are of
moderate means, paying for their homes,
and the prospect OF more bills for street
work is not agreeable.
The directors say that there remains so
much lateral and side sewer work to be
done that much OF the bitumen would
have TO be torn up, patched and botched,
making poor work. with more and unnec-
essary expense. They have a red-rock
quarry in the district which they aver will
supply cheaply all the pavement they
need at present. There are too many
bouleVards mapped out, and the property
people along these avenues are moving to
lay some OF those motions on the table.
The Anti-Cemetery Club is yet wrestling
with the graveyards, which, although
they have started, do not move out
OF the City as fast as desirable. The
Cemetery Associations are not selling lots
apparent since The passage of the pro-
hibiting ordinance, but the deeds of prior
purchases now being recorded have a
rare old fiavor-too rare and too old to be
true. They cannot understand why a
grave lot should have been bought in the
early SOS ana '70's and not be record ed
till the year of our Lord 1896.
A part of the cemetery question is the
proposed removal of the City graveyards
on Thirty-third avenue. These are used
by certain benevolent societies for burial
purposes, also by the City for the inter-
ment of the INDECENT dead. Those pieces
of ground are rapidly filling up, and in
the course of time burials there must of
necessity cease for want of space, and
when the City grows around them the
bodies will have to be removed. Charlie S
II. Hubbs, president OF the Richmond
Property-owners' Association, is preparing
an ordinance which will be presented to
the Board OF Supervisors soon. 1t pro-
hihits interments in those cemeteries, and

At the Baldwin Theater Frederick
Warde returned to 1.-The Mountebank"
last night. The drama is not one that
shows either Mr.. Warde or his leading
lady, Miss Fanny Gillette, in their hap
piest light.
Tonight "The Lions Mouth" will be
played, and at the Saturday matinee
"Virginius."
Nellie McHenry's humorous take-off of
an up-to-date maiden in 'The Bicycle
Girl' is pleasing CAornia Theater
audiences. The piece consists of the
string of jokes and specialties which,
if cleverly linked together, generally prove
by its absence. Miss Nellie McHenry in
1.-The Bicycle Girl'' again shows herself to be a
sparkling comedienne, and the members of
her support are fully up 10 the requirements OF
the various roles.

The remarkable stage mechanism in 1.-THE
Pulse OF New York" at the Grand has caught
on immensely with the public. The pile
driver and the elevated railroad, with its mad
jump from the track, are enough sensations to
keep melodrama going, not 10 mention the
