foreman of the truck company, had ac-
cepted the young mau as a substitute.
When Carew learned that the young man,
who had been on duty at several fires, was
a minor, he refused to accept him, and i'm
mediateiy took his badge from him.
No report of the fact that this minor
was on duty was brought me. and l am at
a loss to understand how he ever acted as
a substitute. 1t was certainly without my
knowledge.
Hereafter 1 will enforce the order that
all substitutes, before being accepted,
shall come before me for Inspection, and if
pass fayoraby upon them then the fore
man may accept them. Furthermore, l
have issued an order that all the firemen
connected with engine 25 and truck shall
appear before me tomorrow at 1880 with
their substitutes. Iassume that this m at
ter will not occur again, and If !! find any
minors acting as substitutes at the inspec-
tion tomorrow | will imm ediately dis
pose OF them. l shall thoroughly inves IT,
gate this matter and place the blame
where it belongs.
This is the first time that such thing
has occurred among the men In my dis
trict, and l have been in the ciIy's FIR e
service for twenty-five years"
Chief Sullivan was equally surprised
when he learned OF the matter, but spoke
in the most glowing terms of the efficiency
of Captain McKittTick.

farmers and spectators. has also occa-
stoned much anxiety to the hundreds OF
iollers in the great city, who fear that it
will have the effect of increasing the price
of that great tnecessity-bread
An advance in the price of bread at this
time would mean great suffering to the
hundreds who subsist almost entirely upon
1t, and at times find it difficult to procure
sufficient quantity to allay the pangs OF
hunger
In the cheap restaurants also, where
the chief features OF meals is often an un-
limited supply OF the staff OF life and
many poor workers make frugal midd
neal Tor few cents the result of per-
ceptible rise would be the curtailing of
the supply and many who can now at
least satisfy their appetites would be
obliged to go hungry.
AS yet, however. the bakers have not
found 1t necessary to advance the price,
although many of them are gradually re.
ducing the weight of the loaves. While
there is chance of the price being raised
II is not likely that this will be done un-
less wheat takes another jump
A prominent baker when interviewed
on the subject said:
mo, do not think any of us will find
1t necessary to increase the price of bread
to she consumer, although we have raised
1t slightly 10 the retailers. The loaves
also have been slightly diminishe in
weight, perhaps an ounce or so, but not
enough to make any real difference to the
consumers, while it saves US from losing
heavily. / do not believe that the pre- sent
high price OF -four will cont inue but if it
does we shall make the loaves a little
lighter and charge the retailers more, but
not enough TO warrant them in incrsas-
ing the price per loaf to consumers"

FLY CASTING
ON STOW LAKE
Mansfield Adds to the Great
Record He Made in
Chicago.
Sends a Fly Skimming Over
One Hundred and Thirteen
Feet of Water.
Excellent Performances That We're
Witnessed by a Large and.
Enthusiastic Crowd.

sEThe annual hy-casting tournament of
the San Francisco Fly-casting Club was
decided yesterday at Stow Lake, Golden
Gate Park, in the presence of an interested
gathering of ladies and gentlemen.
Walter D. Mansfield the crack long
distance caster, who broke all existing
records at Chicago few months ago by q
cast of 111I feet, astonished not only
himself but every eyewitness Of yester-
days contests by again smashing the
worlds record, held by himself, to the ex-
tent of l34 feet.
Mansteld's score now stands at 113 feet.
which is long distance in advance of the
record of the next best man.
The wind was partly favora BILE to the
contestants of the Iong-distance event,
bl owing from the ocean in the backs of
the competitors. 1t came through in
usts anG consequently puzzled til ose who
fai led to wait for the opportunity to
make some good casts during the Gains.
Taken altogether Yesterday afternoon
| proved a tolerably fair day for fv-casting
| on the lake and as a result some good
| scores were recorded.
In the Iong-dIstance contests the casters
] stood on platform. the angle OF which
faced the buoys. AS a matter of safety to
the rod-wielders from dip they took the
DreCduliOH 10 CdSb WIFI the leIL IOOG QlS-
| tant twelve inches from the angle or point
of the casting platform.
| The judges correctly allowed the COM
petitors the distance tney were handi-
| capped by adding twelve inches to the
! length of each best cast made by them
Manstield's cast was 112 feet. but the i'd
dition OF one foot netted him a grand per-
| formance, of which he is deservedIy
proud.
| DR.. E. N. Lowry pressed the cham pion
| pretty hard. The doctor has improved
wonderfully in the past year and will
doubtless represent the club next season
in the worlds championship tournament
at Chicago. if he keeps on improving or
even holds his own.
Fish Commissioner Vogelsang is also
coming along at nice gait 10 the front.
| Alexander is modest, and being a truth
full fisherman, he contends that, with
practice, he may succeed by next season
in astonishing the natives in making a
| long-distance cast for something.
| The following is a result of the davis
| conte Is: LonG-distance casting-Walter
Mansfield 113 feet, E. n. Lowry 1O9 feet
H. Skinner S5 feet, H. Golcher 1O1 feet. F.

YOUNG BOYS
AS FIREMEu
Acting as Substitutes to
Regularly Appointed
EXtramen.
Thrne of Them Have Reen En-
Three of Them Have Been En-
gagged on Truck 7 Without
the Foreman's knowledge.
Captain McKittrick, District Engineer
of the Mission, Greatly Incensed
Over the News.

A peculiar state of affairs has existed
for sol weeks in several districts of the
San Era ncisco Fire Department. Boys
possibly voung men-Tanging from II to
21 years O age, have been and are acting
as subs itutes for regularly appointed ex-
tramen, while the latter are engaged in
some other employment, never troubling
themselves so much as to give the matter
thought when fire is reported.
These boys, in the capacity of su bsti-
tutes, receive $40 a month for their ser
vices and the extramen whom they rep
resent receive the remaining S24 of the
salary paid 10 extramen by the Fire De-
partment.
That these boys, acting as substitutes 10
extramen, are worse than useless at fire
is demonstrated by the fact that at a re-
cent blaze in the rear of a Mission dwell
ing it took two OF them twenty minutes
to don their canvas coats and ad just their
leather belts, ana oven then they were not
prepared TO fight fire.
AS their craniums were somewhat larger
| than those of the extramen, whom they
! were represen ting, the helmets would not
| fit them, and even alter trying on every
| helmet in the fire truck they could not
OBTAIN one 10 NJ, altnouSh large assort-
ment is always carried Oh tho fire appa-
ratus. After having waited IN all about
thirty minutes, they at last decided to
enter the building with their ordinary
street headgear.
About this time the district engineer
emerged from the dwelling, and informed
! tue drivers OF the various fire vehicles that
their services were no Longer necessary,
as some neighbors had kindly extinguished
the blaze.
Had it not been for the timely appear
ance of these nearby residents and their
ability as hremen, the building would
probably have been burned to the ground
/ Three of these boys have been acting
| for extramen connected with truck Z. sta
toned in the firehouse on Folsom, be-
tween Twenty-second and Twenty-third
streets.
Captain McKittrick, engineer of the
Mission district, was seen yesterday after
| noon, and when asked whether or not any
OF these youngsters were acting as substi-
tutes to extramen expressed great sur
prise. A fter interviewing Driver Sheridan
clerk oil the truck company, he said: II
am surprised 10 learn that a minor has
been acting as substitute for one of our
extramen. Mr.. Sheridan tells me that. as
this young man was continually about the
hrehouse and answering roll-caiI for the
extraman whom he represented. he was

The Grand Lodge of Masons of the
Stale OF California will convene in the
Masonic Temple at Post and Nj ontgomery
streets In this city On Tuesday next and
remain in session for several days.
From the reports that will be presented
to the grand body it will be seen that the
year in Masonic circles has been a pros
porous one and it may be taken as an
evidence of prosperity in the State. Dur
ing the period mentioned there has been
some loss and some gain, but the gain
has been greatly in excess of the loss. for
the figures will show that there has been
a net gain Of about 600 members.
There have also been Instituted in the
State six new lodges and there has been
one instituted in the Hawaiian Islands.
There has been great harmony in the
jurisdiction, and at this time it is stated
that there will not be anything brought
up before the grand body that Will call
for any unusual legislation.

"At the same time am informed in

up and downstairs in the weary WORK
of trying to find places.
"They find, instead, women doing tie
work which should keep them and t:iri:
wives, for half the pay. One has L"
objection to women doing mems - o.;
if they get mems pay. They may even
keep the men in idleness, if they please,
like the laundresses.
"How shall we make these promoters
understand the cut-throat policy nf
pushing women in everywhere, at hail
or quarter the pay and driving the men
abroad? However, there are other AMI
more satisfactory features about this
report.
