WILL NOT EXTEND
The Time for Payment of Taxes
this Year.

this Year.
From various portions of the
State have come inquiries as to
the likelihood of the time for the
payment Of taxes being extended
beyond the limit fixed by law,
Decemoer 81. These inquiries
have come from citizens in some
instances and in many other in
stances from county officials.
1t appears that in many of the
counties, in fact nearly all of them
the taxpayers are very far behind
with the payment of their taxes.
In view of the anxiety y about the
matter Gov Ellerbn and Comp.
troller Epton, who alone have
the authority to grant the exten-
sion, have talked over the situation
thoroughly and yesterday the
governor made the positive an
nouncement that there would be
no extension of time granted this
year. The announcement is thus
made in order to give the taxpay-
ers ample time to raise the money
with which to pay their taxes be.

IS GROWING FAST
Letters Come In and Com
mitteemen Are Added
Each Day.
A Los Angeles Sympathiz r
Tells of Interest in the
South.
The Local Organization Will Probably
Be Perfected in Every Detail
This Week.

The committee of organization of the
Cuban League will go forth to-day to add
new names to its lists and perfect the local
society. The progress of the past week
has been great and it is believed that an
other week will aud hundreds of names to
the roll.
1--WE have received a great many new
names for the roll during the past two
days." said Secretary Faust Mascherinl
yesterday, sand we have mad many offers
OF aid from farmers, mechanics and the
public at large"
The following letter is a sample of the
way the movement strikes the people of
the State:
Los ANGELES, Feb. IL.
To Mascherini and Jones, Cuban Ledgue-G EN-
TLEMEN: 1 have been greatly interested in
THE CALLS accounts of your meetings and
plans, first called to my attent ton by an edi-
torial in the Herald here, commencing THE
CALL and your league.
You may write ME down as one in full SYM
pathy with the movement in every way I
stand ready to give reasonable financial aid
and to do everything in my power, within the
limits OF the law. We often hear fippant
hght-headed people speak disparagingly OF
Cuba's cause and call the Cubans half Indians
who have already begun to SOW the seeds of
liberty are a lorg distance from barbarism,
and their appeal ought to be heard and re-
sponded TO by the masses in this country. Re-
spectfully, JOHN w. WILSON.
Major W. Fahey of the Cosmopolitan
Hotel called yesterday and agreed to serve
the committee in any lawful way. Speak
ing of the struggle of the Cubans he said ::
Certainly it seems to me every Irish
patriot must sympathize with Caba in her
great battle for freedom. No matter how
humble o. ignorant the Cubans may be,
they know enough to despise slavery and
crave for liberty, and they ought to be en-
couraged."
When the local league is fully organ
lied along the lines of the New York or
der it will act In conjunction with the
National League, and it is proposed to
have something like a concerted move
ment in whatever is done throughout the
Nation.
The Grand Army of the Republic at
Oakland, has taken action and passed reso-
lutlons OF sympathy with Cuba. and many
members OF the City posts have expressed
themselves in the same way. 1t is hoped
that the Pioneers and other societies will
take similar action.

The Convention of Irish Societies
Takes Active Steps TO
Celebrate.
Music, Oratory and a Ball Will Be
Striking Features of the
Day.

The st. Patrick's dav convention at
Knights of Red Branch Hall yesterday
afternoon was largely attended and con-
siderable progress was made in perfecting
arrangements for grand celebration on
the 18th of March.
The committee on music, speaking and
literary exercises reported progress,
though the oroter of the day has not yet
been selected. he will be chosen, how
ever, before next Sunday.
The general committee of ARRANGEMENTS
for the events OF the day has been chosen
from all OF the representative Irish socie-
ties of San Francisco. The sub-commit-
tee delegated to secure hall reported
that it had secured the Mechanics Pavil-
ion for the main concert and Metropolitan
Temple for the literary exercises. The
committee adjourned until Wednesday
night.
1t was decided to make all of the officers
OF the convention ex-otficio members of
the committee of arrangements that will
have In charge the promenade concert and
ball at the Pavilion and the literary exer-
cises at Metropolitan Temple.
Misses Kate and Fannie Black appeared
during the convention and entertained
the members for some time with songs
and recitations and Patrick Nichols re-
cited an Irish patriotic poem.
Speeches were made by 8 number of
delegates and all favored making the
demonstration this year greater than
heretofore. All of the local Irish societies
are working for the success of the move
ment, and the convention will be in ses-
sion at Knights of the Red Branch Hall
again on next Sunday at P. NJ.

ing vote gave the $4,000 appropriation to
the Board of Health, because there were
more than seven votes in favor of it.
Furthermore, the appropriation was given
in good faith, and might even have been
greater than it was with ADVANTAGE. The
board has done its duty in protecting the
lives and the health of our citizens, and
In my opinion at least double the amount
should have been given to it. There ought
to be four am mbulances instead of two, and
the scope of the boards activity should
not stop short at the inspection of the
milk supply, but should extend to all de-
partments of food production.
The position of Inspector of the De-

fortunate inmates, and in case of death
preserves many of them from a pauper's

money can be saved.

D. B. Eames OF Santa Cruz was strack
by a Haight-street car at 7:45 last evening
and sustained injuries which may prove
very serious.
Eames had been in town but day or
two He was a mem Der of the Theo-
sophical Society and was in the City for
the purpose of attending the meeting at
= Odd Fellows Hall last evening. Just
before starting for the meeting he crossed
the street from his lodging-house at 1887
Market street to mail a letter. On his re-
turn he stepped in front of Haight-street
car 157, ana before Motorman Fox could
stop the car he was under the fender.
Eames, who is 53 years of age, was badly
bruised and suffered much pain. Owing
TO the pain Drs. w. w. Gam BILE, ]. A. An
derson, Berry and Coffee, who were called
in, made only superficial examination,
from which they concluded that no bones
were broken. What internal injuries
there may be could not be ascertained.

the Almshouse and by Mr.. Wagner
himself, who both state emphaticaIly
that the Office has been rendered necessary
by the continual increase in the number
OF the Almshouse inmates, many of whom,
IL is suspected, are not justly entitled to
live ct the expense of the city. To this
category belong military pensioners, luna
tics and ali those who have relatives and
freinds well abe to contribute partially if
not entirely to their support.
1t will be the duty of the inspector to
determine as to the eligibleness of all ap-
plicants for admission and in this way, it
is argued in defense of the appointment,
great saving is likely to be effected in
the administration of the affairs of the in
stitution.

desire an office of this kind.

itself that it is by no means sinecure.
We have 942 inmates at the present mo-
ment, and the heads of the various de-
partments have enough to do to look after
them in the ordinary sense of the term
Mr.. Wagners duty is to investigate the
antecedents and circumstances of new
corners, and particularly whether they
have any relatives able to take care of
them. Neither the Mayor nor his clerk
las time to attend to these matters, and
something must be done to check the in
crease in the number of inmates. We
have nothing to say against the admission
of those who are really deserving, but
there Is no reason why the City should
support impostors.
''The Board OF Health considered that the
creation of an Office of this kind would
eventually result in saving to the city.
Neither my CLERK nor l have time to run
down town continually to institute the
necessary investig ations. Mr.. Wagner

Rev. DR.. Spalding Asks ''Why Spend
Ye All the Day IdIe?''
The Rev. DR.. Spalding, rector of ST.
Johns Church, preached last night about
idle Christians. The gospel for the day,
'The vineyard and the laborers," sug-
gested the theme. The text was, "Why
staud ye here all the day idle?" The
doctor stated that in one sense no one
could accuse our people of idleness. All
around US is the hum of busy life. But
worldly industry and Christian idleness
may go hand in hand. as it so with any
of usP' Merely earthly aims he said end
with the grave. The stlffening fingers
cannot draw check upon the millions it
once controlled. But death cannot close
work for God. For the salvation of our
souls and the souls of others we must
weed out the vineyards of our lives. Be
assured some enemy has sown tares in
each of our lives.
