EVIDENTLY the makers of Schilling' 8
Best tea believe in good measure and
don't seem TO care if thu measure runs
over trifie.
Most all our readers know OF this m iss-
ing word contest. but something hap
pence d in connection with it the other day
that may be news. It seems queer, any
how, but the right word for it is really
iberality.
You may remember that their large ad-
vertisements contained this sentences:
"In addition to the $1,000 offered
we will pay $100 each to the two
persons who send in the largest
numb ber OF Schilling's Best yellow
tickets before June 15.''
No one could tell from this wording
that they wanted the plums to go to the
people who used the tea-not to grocers,
though such was the case. But it hap
pened that two stirring grocers took hold
of th proposition. sent in small cart
load of tickets and won the prizes.
OF course that was not turning out Just
as A. Schiling & Co. wanted it, but it did
not seem to worry them much. Tney got
out OF it by paying the grocers 5000 and
then paying TWO additional prizes of $l0O
each to the two consumers who sen;
the two largest mum bers.
That Is rather graceful and elegant
way to get out OF difficulty.

IUTERF Erred
With WIRES.
Some of the Decorations of
the Christian EndeaV-
orers Removed.
All the Result of a Misunder-
standing With the Tele-
phone Company.
Market Street Assuming a Gay Ap-
pearance With Streamers of
Purple and Gold.

A slight misunderstanding between the
telephone company and the decorating
committee of the Christian Endeavor
Convention threatened to interfere
seriously with the decorating of Market
street to welcome the visiting delegates.
Some OF the decorations put up by the
committee on the company's poles were
removed by the mpany's men and a
spirited encounter seemed imminent.
The trouble all arose in this way: On
Wednesday evening Chairman Perkins OF
the decoration committee called at the
Telephone building TO get permission to
use the poles. None OF the officers of the
company could be seen, but the work of
decoration proceeded notwithstanding.
Later employees of the company, finding
that in mum ber of cases the decorations
had been put up Improperly and inter-
fered with the company's lines. took the
bunting down.
"You have no idea the amount of
trouble tho Sc decorations have caused. !"
said Inspector Prendergast of the tele-
phone company last night. "In the first
place the decorators did not get permis-
sion of the authorities. If they had we
COuio hnfo ohOWh tbSb ~" W iooeOh
the streamers properly. The company
had no objections to having the decora-
lions tied 10 the poles in such way as not
to interfere with it's lines.
But the decorators had nailed scan
things to the poles, and on these scantlings
the bunting had been fastened. Some OF
these scantlings were inserted between
the. pole and the cable running up from
the ground, and, as a result, when the
wind bic w the scantlings pried ON the ca
bles and threatened to break them, thus
causing inconvenience to telephone SUBJ
scribsrs and damage that would require
considerable money to repai ir.
lowing to the strong wind on Market
street the ends of the streamers were also
blown across the wires, and the connect
ing of the wires cause trouble on the tele.
phone lines.
"The company does not wish to inter-
fere with the decorations, and, although
its permission was not obtained, it does
not object to decorations that are put up
properly. The only decorations we had
taken down were those which injured our
property or interfered with the working
of the lines. The decorations were not
seized and taken away, as some have
charged, but were removed from the poles
ana left on the sidewalk"
The decoration of Market street Is being
rapidly com mpleted. Streamers are flying
all along the south side. and the WORK of
decorating the north side of the street
will probably be finished soon. When
the work is completed the street will pre-
sent a wOnQerfIiIy gay aDpearance

SAN MATE0
ELECTRIC line
New Management Will at
Once Reconstruct the
Entire Road.
First-Class Material and the
Best Of Modern Equipment
to Be Supplied.
Rapid Transit Facilities Will Be
Afforded to a Vast and Impor-
tant Section of the City.

The managers of the reorganiZed San
Francisco and San Mateo Electric Rail-
way Company are going forward with the
work of reconstructing the system. Ex-
tensive contracts and important purchases
of materials which will involve an outlay
of $4,000 have been authorized. The
president OF the com pany, Adolph Spreck-
els, has given the investment careful
study and is well satisfied with the prop
erty:, He has determined that only first
class materials shall be used in the re-
building of the line. The line when re-.
constructed will be equipped with the
best of rolling stock and will be operated
for the convenience of the vast residence
section of the City that will. depend on
this road for travelling facilities. Much
of the material for the rebuilding
of the line has been pur.
chased. 1t is said that property owners
who may nave some misgiving as 10 the
character and style OF the proposed recon-
struction may rest assured that the work
will be as durable and efficient as they
could desire. In fact better material may
be used than they have petitioned for and
the facilities of travel which the reorgan-
lied line may offer will surpass their ex-
pectations.
The main line of the road, extending
from Steuart street 10 Baden, will afford
the convenience of rapid transit to a
vast and thickly settled region of the City,
which will surely grow in importance by
reason of the increased railway facilities.
The present terminus or initial point OF
the line on Steuart street, near Market
affords connection with the ferries.
Should additional facilities or rights be
necessary at this point they will be ac-
quired. 1t Is regarded as a fortunate
thing for the people of an extensive and
rapidly developing section of the City
that the San Mateo Railway has passed
into the hands OF men who have the
means and enterprise to handle the prop
erty.
Recent investigation has brought to
light the fact that the Market-street Rail-
way has not a monopoly of all the rights
to use the public streets of this City.
While the municipal authorities for many
years have granted concessions with Law.
ish hand to this corporation certain pub
lie rights were reserved, and the rights
guaranteed under this reservation may be
invoked should there arise determined
resistance to competition.
The extension Of the line beyond Baden
may not be seriously considered for some
will be devoted to the rebuilding of the
main line and construction of feeders. AS
the country develops ana the population
increases steps may be taken to extend
the line in the direction OF San Jose.

THREE HOLIDAYS.

The Merchants Have Agreed to Close
Their Places Next saturday.
The wholesale merchants have agreed
to close their places of business to-mor-
row so as to allow not only themselves
but also their clerks and salesmen an
opportunity 10 get an extra day oil.
This movement emanated from the
Board OF Trade headquarters, where the
officers of that institution passed reso-
luton closing the office on Saturday.
As soon as this was done the merchants
.'caught ON and followed suit, much to
the Joy of the thousands of hard work
ing mployes who seldom if ever get a
holiday except those given by law and
custom.
The result of this will be to give three
continuous days relaxation from work
with chance 10 get TO the country.

GIVEN FAIR WARNING
TEAMS MAY NOT STAND HITCHED
UPON PRINCIPAL STREETS
The Police Department Conceded Two
Days Grace but Will Enforce
the Law Today

''The new hitching ordinance which
has been passed by the council is to be
rigidly enforced by the police depart
ment," said Chief Glass yesterday. "The
ordinance really took effect Saturday,
but we did not make any Immediate ar
rests because we do not wish to work a
hardship upon the people who have been
in the habit of standing their teams upon
the streets. The officers have been in
structed to notify people along their
beats that the ordinance will be enforced
Monday and any failure to comply with
the regulation from that time on will
be followed by the arrest of the often
ders.'
Many inquiries We're made at the sta
ton yesterday by drivers of delivery
wagons, city statesmen and collectors
who use buggies in their business, as
well as other interested parties. as to the
provisions of the ordinance. AS the pro-
vision is matter of general public in
terest the text is reprinted below:

nomination for the shrievalty. John
Burr says that he thinks another term
would fit him very nicely and he is go
ing to try to get it. The friends of
Geo. p. McLain, ex-councilman and
present police commissioner, are push
ing his claims. George f. Gard is also
In the race. Mr.. Gard has been sheriff
once-from 1885 to 1887, and he likes the
office. He has also been United States
marshal and he likes that Office, too. He
seems to think that he is going to be able
to marshal considerable strength in the
convention among the country dele
gates There are several other candi-
dates for sheriff but these three are COM
manding the most attention at present.

Charles r. Johnson, an old-time Re-

Political clubs may come and go, but
the Silver Republican club seems to be
going straight ahead. There are access
sions to it's membership every week, and
the new clubhouse on South Main street
is rapidly developing into a center of ac-
tivity-social and political. With the
beginning of the new year it is the inten-
ton of the leaders of the club to bring
to Southern California some Silver Re-
publicans of national repute, who will
deliver addresses for the edification of
the people. The first visitor will be
Hon. Charles A.Towne of Duluth, Mimi.

President Nathan Cole, jr., yesterday
received the following telegram from
Mr. Towne:
Matters have developed which cause
me to prefer February for California
trip. Would change be agreeable to
you and California friends?"
President Cole answered that the
change would be all right, but added
that Mr.. Towne must certainly come in
February, for during that month a tour
of the Pacific coast would be arranged
for him.. So, you see, the Silver Repu5
licans are not going to let any grass
grow under their feet.

morality of mining camps is not usually
of a high order; but am doubtful of the

of English readers, is a sort of American
