WORK ON THE CHARTER.
Tho Committee Meets and Makes Some
Amendments.

| Tho Committee Meets and Makes Some
| Amendments.
There was a meeting of the charter con-
vention last night at which there was q
large attendance. The first matter that
| came to the attention of the freeholders
! was a resolution, introduced by w. ].
| Cuth hbertson, requesting that the conven-
| ton nominate two boards of freeholders,
| one pledged TO a charter providing for the
separation of the legislative and executive
| powers, the other pledged to charter for
the confederation of such powers in one
body. By the terms of the resolution it
! was agreed that whichever board should
| be elected the losing faction would sup
| port the charter.
Denman moved to indefinitely postpone
the matter, while McNab was in favor of
| laying the matter oD the table. He said
| that if the convention were 10 nominate
| two sets of men Rainey and Kelly, as we'll
as Curry, would practically rule the poll
| tics and offices of the city.
| The law committee reported tn at pro-
| portional representation was in conflict
| with section 13 article Xxx of the constitu-
| ton: that the provision Tor free school
| books is illegal and unconstitutional; and
| that the constitution would have to be
amended to get the improve ments asked
| for in this line.
| The following replies to the conven-
| tion's questions were made:
| @. What constitutes the property qualif-
cs tions of a freeholder under the State con-
! stitution?
A,-The holding of real estate in fee simple
| within the city or city and county where the
vo te is to be cast.
| @. 2-Is it necessary for the freeholder to
own The realty in the city and county of San
| Francisco?
Alt is necessary.
| @. 3-To be eligible to the office of free
| holder is it necessary to have been a resident
| of the city and county five consecutive years
| previous to the election?
| Alt is necessary to be a qualified elector of
this city and county for five years consecu-
| lively next preceding a charter election to be
| eligible as freeholder.
| @. As 1t competent for the charter to pro-
yiQe that the tax levy for city and county pur-
poses be made in the month of June of each
| year?
Alt is absolutely incompetent for charter
! to so provide.
Several of the sections were amended in
! minor details. aud it was agreed TO reduce
! the Board of Fire Commissioners 10
| three members. Dohrmann believed that
the Fire Commissioners or some other
| body of city officers should have the power

The dead cashier resided in Berkeley on

young children, boy and girl. The
wife was not notified of the suicide until

The Famous Compos err Pianist Played

As a piano player Scharwenka is not a

he played it last night with beautiful
analysis, sonorous tonality and absolute
technical perfection.
Scharwenka's tenn permanent is far from
torrid-in fact, his pulse is of an even
beat aud he is never carried away by him
self. But there is an intel IectuaI grin. a
cerebral authority in his work, that
realizes the serious side OF this sonata as
more hysterical virtuosity could not
realize it.

tractive. His earnestness is so patent and
his mode SO quietly distinguished that
they beautify ard soften what might
easily be called pedantry.
In way Scharwenka is a pedant, a
teacher-ln the broadest meaning of the
worldwide has resolute ideas on piano
playing. But there is something cordial
and broad underlying this positiyeness.
and his executive abilities are so nice lv
adequate to his theories that one is
swayed in sympathy with the interpreta-
tion.
On last nights programme were Cho.
pins Fan:asie op. 40 and Scherzo op. 81
and from the rendering of these it cannot
be said that Scharwenka finds the happi
est outlet of his Polish nature in the mosI
seductive of Polish music. In the
ScheTZo he played with much finer i'm.
agination than In the FantasIe and with
