CHOOSING A QUEEN,
Plans Now Under Consideration
by the Carnival Com
mittee.
A Director General Will Be Selected
This Afternoon-MiSs Elliott
on the Block.

Several plans for the election of the fes-
tive officers of the carnival, the kings and
queens, will be presented at the meeting
OF the executive committee this afternoon
AS the lady representing California will
be drawn from among those elected or an
pearing as candidates at the interior fiestas
an estimate has been made of those from
whom to choose and the smallest estimate
the committee was able to arrive at was at
least $50 ladies.
A request has been made by number
OF school children in the City, who are
ambitious to preside over the festivities
to open the ballot for the school chiIdren's
queen on the first Monday in Auoust
when the schools will reopen. They ask
that the ballots be fixed at 8 cents apiece
that they may come within their limited
means. Their request Will probably be
acceded TO.
Miss Maxine Elliott. who will auction
the seats for the carnival benefit at the
M Merchants' Exchange on Tuesday after.
noon, is going to surprise the veteran
auctioneers in the City With the methods
which she will introduce to lure the dol
lars from the pockets of those ATTENDING
the sale.
Miss Elliott has in process of elaboration
a scheme which she is carefully guard
ing as secret, and which she is satisfied
will be a striking novelty on the auction
block. Her many admirers in this Citv
propose 10 make the matinee on Wednes
day afternoon at the Columbia Theater
which is her last appearance, an occasion
for showing their appreciation of her
efforts, and at the same time assisting the
carnival fund.
The election for carnival directors will
be held this afternoon. There are several
applicants whose well-known energy will
enable them 10 pull the carnival througb
in excellent style.
One important point that the parade
committee has discovered is that no float
exceeding twenty feet in height can be
paraded on the streets of San Francisco
crossed by electric trolley lines. This in
formation is very important, as many
organizations are already preparing de-
signs for their floats, and considerable
damage would be done to them if thew
wires of the electric roads.

ton and the lateral streets have suffered tG
considerable extent at the hands of dex-
trous petty thieves. So Iight-fngered
and clever were the thieves in their work
that they baffied detection in their steal
lngs for some time. The discovery did
not come until several drugstores in Ger.
tain parts of the City were in great danger
OF being buried beneath an avalanche OF
old hats, second and first hand books, ar
t1cles OF hardware and household utensils,
in fact, goods of all descriptions that did
not happen to be redhot and bolted to the
floor at the time the pale-faced piiferers
successfully accom- plished their raids.
In most instances the druggists whose
stores were selected for temporary junA
shops were asked to take goods several
hundred times the value in exchange fol
10 cents worth OF morphine. How many
trades OF the kind were made it is difficult
to estimate, though certain it is that the
CLASSY eye and pin-head pupils have been
much in eviden ce in some localities for the
last few days. 1t is probable, however,
that only small portion of the stolen
goods were disposed of in this manner.
The secondhand dealers were called into
requisition by the "hypo users" who OBJ
tanned money for other things besides their
darling. .soul-destroying drug. Hundreds of
dollars would not cover the loss sustained
by the merchants selected by the 'fiends'i
to pay tribute to the ''habit.'

POISON IN A CATS BITE,
One of the Rare Cases Treated
at the Receiving Hos
pital.
Charles Hurst, a Restaurant Keeper
in a High Fever and His Hand
Badly Swollen.

1t is not unusual for cases of dog bite to
be treated at the Receiving Hospital. but
cases OF catbite are very rare indeed. The
first in several years was registered at the
hospital yesterday morning.
Charles Hurst, 10 John street, is part
owner of a restaurant at 80 Market street.
He had nice cat in his house that was
terror to rats and mice. The restaurant
was plagued with rodents, so Hurst de-
cided Saturday night to give pussy
chan e at them.
He dumped her into sack and walked
with her through by-streets till he reached
the restaurant. The cat resented being
shut up in a sack and made her voice
heard all the way. She made Intellectual
efforts to get out of the sack, and when
Hurst got to his restaurant the rerspira-
tion was pouring from every pore in his
body.
He laid the sack down on the floor of
the restaurant and happened to place his
left hand on the cats head. Instantly
pussy's teeth were inserted deeply in his
hand through the sack and he yelled with
the pain. The cat ds shed out of the sack
and made things lively for a few minutes
till she got iamiliarized with her new sur
roundings.
Hurst tenderly nursed his wounded
hand, which soon began to swell. He
could pot sleep wink all night from the
pain and yesterday morning he went to
the hospital. DR.. Helms found the hand
very badly swollen and the inflam nation
had extended up to his elbow. Hurst was
also in high fever, the poison from the
cats teeth having got in its work.
DIR. Helms thoroughly cleaned out the
wound, painted it with iodine and dressed
it. He also gave Hurst prescription to
cool his fever. No evil effects are ex-
pected, but if Hurst had delayed much
longer in having the wound attended TO
the consequences might have been seri-
ous

Rev. William RAIDER Tells His Congre.
CATION of the Great Convention
in Washington.

Rev. William RAIDER, pastor of the Third
Congregational Church, who recently re-
turned from Washington, D. c., where he
attended the fifteenth annual convention
OF the Young Peoples Societies of Chris
tian Endeavor, spoke to his congregation
last evening of the great convention. He
spoke of the gathering of representatives
OF every State in the Union and from the
provinces of Canada, and in glowing, elo-
quent language described the scenes he
witnessed in the capital of the Nation, and
stated that the feeling on ali sides was
strong for holding the Christian Endeavor
convention in San Francisco in the year
1897. The convention, he said, is an ex-
pensive one, and the one held in Wash
ington had cost something like $25, coo,
and added that that amount has already
been pledged for this City.
The pastor spoke of the effect the con-
vention had on the people and how it
awakened them to spiritual duty, saying
that all OF the twenty-five churches in
which services were held were crowded to
excess.

cited crowd of Mongolians running about
i'll confusion.
The place was occupied by Sun Lee Sam
as poultry, fish and vegetable store. The
damage, which amounted to about $500,
was principally caused by smoke aud
water. So dense was the volume of sti-
fling smoke that several of the firemen
were partially overcome.
After one hours hard work the fire was
extinguished, leaving in its path guam
tity of smoked chickens. clans, dried
