An alarm was turned in through box

stream were playing on the fire, but ow-
ing to the com mbustible nature of the build-

Mrs. Hastings, an Eastern Lady,
Leaves Her Well-Filled
Purse in a Car.
Gripman Martin, Who Was the
Means of Restoring It Was
Rewarded With ST 50.

Gripman Martin of car 38 of the Califor-
nia-street Cable Company made a lucky
find yesterday morning, and visions OF
wealth took possession of his mind.
After the passengers had left the car at
streets, he noticed wel-filled pocket book
on the seat of the dummy. On the return
trip he left the pocketbook in the office of
the company on Hyde and California
streets.
On being opened it was found to contain
check for $4,000, payable to bearer, S165
in gold and a roll of greenbacks. Martin
continued his trip, fondly expecting that
the owner would handsomely rem unerate
him for his honesty.
lady alighted from the car that fol.
lowed Martins, and rushing in to the COM
pany's office, she excitedly asked if her
pocket-book, which she had left on the
seat of the dummy, had been found. She
said her name was Mrs. Hastings, and
she was here on visit from the East.
She detailed the contents of the pocket
book, and to her great Joy it was handed
to her.
She expressed an earnest desire to see
Gripman Martin, and left something in an
envelope to be given to him if she should
fail to see him. She waited on the corner,
and when Martins car pulled up on its
way to O'Farrell and Stockton streets she
rushed over to him and in the exuberance
of her joy embraced him, at the same time
thanking him profusely for being the
means of restoring her property to her.
"Yo ou dear, honest man." she said, "I
have not forgotten you. When you 60 to
the office you will find something waiting
for you that will show you how much
appreciate your WORTH" Then she left
him and Martin saw her no more.
Martin hurried to the Office and the
envelope was handed to him. He tore it
open and to his bitter disappointment all
it contained was 81 so.

.AUTOCRATS OF THE ROSES
Easter, North Winds and the
Nurserymen Have Stopped
the War.
Florists Won't Sell Choice Flowers
Below the Well. Established
Rates.

Among the florists who have been at
war over the price of flowers, and more
especially roses, there is cessation OF
hostiIities. For in this instance man has
not had the disposition of things all to
himself. The weather had much to do
with the question in the last few days,
while incidentally nurserymen entered
into the spirit of the occasion and said:
No flowers for men who are cutting
prices of our patrons. We want no war in
ours
So the fight of roses has faded with
winds from the north and an ultimatum
roses that few days ago sold for 10 or 25
cents dozen, that is, for pretty,
fragrant bouquet with sprays of smilax or
maidenhair and glistening drops of dew
that fell from 20-cent water spray upon
the petals, are now selling for 25 or 35
cents. With Easter there is an advance in
prices. Lilies are rare beyond fancy, and
as for roses, they are almost doubled in
price.
The florists themselves do not wish to
be known in discussion of the fight. sit
would only advertise the other fellow"
they say, land people would think that
we were holding out for high prices. That
means crowds would flock to where garden
roses are sold, and the fine hothouse va
noisseurs. -
A florist explained last night that the
war III roses was started by some small
dealers when fine weather ushered in more
Of these blossoms than could be sold.
Then the north wind blew cold, and
even in the florists windows roses wilted
and withered in one night. Garden roses
suffered most, and such as were able to
bear shaking and transporting became
scarce 1t was when this condition i'm
posed itself several dealers, without or
ganizing, complained with common ac-
cord to the nurserymen that if the cut-rate
fellows were supplied the rest would buy
roses elsewhere.
Charles Hasselbacher of Temescal, who
is the largest grower of roses in the vicinity
OF San francisco, told the cheap men he
would not sell roses to them unless they
took down their signs of cut rates. In
that case they would have to depend upon
open-air roses, for as Hasseibacher went
other nurserymen followed. In one case,
that OF a florist on Geary street, near
Kearny, there was a difference of opinion.
81 won't sell you roses until those signs
OF cheap flowers are taken down."
There were signs of 'roses Is cents and
25 cents dozen" about the shops.
"l'll run my own business was the
florists abrupt reply.
Run your own business" added the
nurseryman: "You get none of my roses. :"
And now if you want the Kaiserine of
vanishing beauty, the American beauties
themselves, or of the few other choice
roses, they cost as of old from 35 cents to 81
dozen. Easter demand mas done this to
large degree, for Flora must provide her
best Tor Eastertide.

PARLOR SUFFRAGISTS.
They Listen to Speeches by Mrs. Sargent
and DR.. Treadwell, the First
Woman Dentist.

The regular meeting of the eleventh
Amendment Club" was held at Van
Ness avenue yesterday afternoon, many of
those whose names have by long associa-
tion become identified with the cause of
woman suffrage being present. This club
was organized at the dwelling of Nine.
Sorbier, 220 Van Ness avenue, and was the
first parlor suffrage club brought into ex-
istence in the State.
The principal events of the evening were
an essay by Mrs. A. A. Sargent, president
Of the State Suffrage Association. and an
impromptu speech by DR.. Treadwell, who
is said to be the first woman dentist of the
world.
Mrs. Sargent's paper was devoted to the
eleventh amendment, and dwelt at length
on the opinions expressed by prominent
educators and economists in the press as
regards granting the ballot to the gentler
sex.
DR.. Treadwells words had mainly to do
with the difference between women of the
present and twenty years ago.
Two decades ago." said this lady, "the
idea of woman leading professional life
was deemed absurd. A female LAWYER.
preacher or physician was looked upon as
candidate for the museum.
To-day she engages in all these branches
OF higher labor, and has concusively
demonstrated to the male element that
although the gray matter of his cerebral
organ may excel in quantity. when it
comes to quality the weaker sex makes
good the deficit"
1t was decided to give Miss Anthony
reception at 7 Van Ness avenue the second
Tuesday of this month. the reception to
begin at P. NJ Mrs. H. Lewis, the clubs
treasurer, thought the name of the body
should be changed to something less pro-
sale, but the matter was temporarily laid
on the table. The next meeting will be
held at Mrs NJ G. Wheeland's, 1923 CLAW
street, when new club for her district
will be formed.

Tro:. Y. S. shaler, OF Harvard unf-
verrity. in his study OF domesticased

large measure why the best traits Oh

In his clever study of the dog, Prof.
Shaler, looking more particularly 10
the instinctive traits OF pointers and

peculjarities when scenting game
Some theorists have advanced the ides
that the actions of the dogs, as pointers
or settlers, can only date back from the
invention Of tho fowling- piece. 1t IS
mooted question among those who have
carefully studied firearms which served
, for sport whether Spain was not til
first country using the fowling-piece
