George T. Bowen Argues Against
the Proposed Ordinance of
the Supervisors.
Large Revenues Being Spent in Beauti.
flying and Improving Them Would
Be Cut Off.

Those interested in the Odd Fellows,
Laurel Hill and Masonic cemeteries are
very much concerned oyer the proposed
ordinance before the Board of Supervisors
to stop the further sale of lots. This, they
claim, would cut off their supply of funds,
prevent them from keeping the cemeteries
trim and cause them to become nuisances.
They claim that the ordinance in not pre-
venting burials in lots already sold can
really accomplish nothing except making
the burial al-grounds eyesores.
George T. Bowen, president of the Odd
Fellows Cemetery Association, speaking
of the matter last evening said:
"If they stop the sale OF any more lots
they cut off our revenue, and instead Of
making the cemeteries beauty spots they
will become nuisances. 1t has been our
aim for years to make ours promenade
park We intended 10 wall it in and fur
ther improve it. AS it is more people visit
our cemetery than any other in the coun-
try
''There is nothing in the argument that
it's presence is a menace to health. 1t is
we'll known that the twelfth is the most
healthy ward in the City. This argument,
made, l have no doubt by the San Mateo
cemeteries. The people in the neig bor-
hood are not fighting US.
Another thing, much of the improve
ment of the neghborhood is due TO the
presence of the cemetery. When it was
desired to put in the sewer and do the
other work on Point Lobos road we were
the first to sign contracts and get the
other property owners in. and have spent
over $4,000 in that way. Laurel Hill
Cemetery has spent $50 900 in the last few
years in streets and walls.
There is no objection to well-kept GEM
eteries in Eastern or in European cities,
where many of them are objects of pride,
and pleasure grounds for the people. 1t is
for want OF ground. If this ordinance is
passed, it will mean simply that the cem-
eteries will in time become neglected and
become eyeaores."

assisted in the work by Rev. Ida Romick,
a distinguished Quaker evangelist from
Ohio. The society i'll California was or
ganized twelve years ago with a member
ship of only twelve. At the present time
it has over 300 supporters of the faith in
this State alone.
Their field of activity has recently been
broadened by the establishment of col
lege OF their own denomination at Whittier,

litical responsibility which Mrs. George

ing, and which the Berkeley society will
continue to promulgate until the amend

AN interesting Lecture Astronomy
by Professor Leuschner.
Professor A. E. Leuschner of the Uni.
verslty of California delivered an interest.
ing lecture last evening in the Mechanics
Institute. His subject was 'SomesRecent
Advances in Astronomy" and as the pro-
lessor progressed in his address the
principal features were illustrated bv
stereopticon pictures thrown upon canvass,
The attendance was large, the big lecture
room being filled 10 the doors
In his preliminary remarks Professor
Leuschner went back in history to the
earliest races of mankind who made a
study OF the heavens, and followed the
science of astronomy through the times
when 1t was studied by the Chaldeans,
Egyptians, Grecians, and then to the
christian era. He dealt particularly with
the Importance of the big telescopes, as
Economical photography and the spectro-
scope, and the inestimable value these are
to the pursuit of this science. The views
presented by the stereopticon gave the
spectators better insight into the man
ner In which the astronomers study the
heavens than anything could, except
actual observation and personal expert.

BE CHEEKY.

Why should a person make himself a
nuisance? What gain is there in grimness,
and sourness, and unsociability? Few peo-
pie care to listen to whining and complaint.
On the whole the world uses us as we'll as
we deserve. 1t is hard for the defeated to
admit this, but it is fact nevertheless,
and, if only admitted, one of the chief
reasons for defeat is removed. A cheerful
philosophy is an important element of sue
cess. He who is perpetually suspecting
Others Of ill-treating him and keeping him
down is not a welcome companion. Sus-
picion is usually folly as well as injustice
and unhappiness. Moreover, gladness is
one of the great rules of health. To be
well, be glad. To be courted, be jolly. 1t
is easy for the average man to hate, or at
least to avoid the unhappy. Nobody wants
deaths head at his table. Nobody con-
sders himself RECALLED when forced to listen
to other peoples wrongs and sights, most
of them either imaginary OF exaggerated by
Over-sensitive conceit. Every man is of
