HE MYSTERY WHICH
enshrouds the life of a spy

charms of the stories of war.
The experiences of the men
who take their lives in their

contest of subteriuge, risk

wit and deceit, fall upon
ears that never tire. Stories
of such adventures have the
same fascination which at
tend the exploits of free
hooters, the daring of navi-
gators in unknown seas and
the doings of hunters in I'M
trodden wilds.
Such a narrative is the
one told by the Boy Spy in

NAMES OF STREETS.

Proper Signs on All Thoroughfares.
The Merchants Association has for
warded to Superintendent of Streets Am
broSe the following letter relating to hav-
ing the names OF streets placed on street
corners:
Dear Sir: Tne board OF directors of this asso-
citation has had under consideration the gu 9s-
uon OF street signs on street corners OF the
City. The absence of mary signs was noticed,
to examine the corners of the streets throug h.
out the City. careful report has been pre-
pared OF those corners where street signs are
missing. A copy of this report is herewith
sent to you. This list shows. in the first place,
those street corners that have lamps but no
signs, and secondly those street corners with
no lamps and no gns on the corners.
We find that Order 1927 of the Board of Su-
pervisors provides that street signs shall be
erected and maintained al all street corners OF
the City. The owners OF real estate cornering
on the crossing and intersection OF the streets
are TO bear the expense of maintaining these
street signs upon the corners The provisions
OF the order cover all cases and section axes
It the duty of the Superin tendent OF Streets TO
notify the owners OF ali corner lots to comply
with the provisions of the order and enforce
the same. The Importance of having street
signs for the guidance of the residents of and
visitors to the City is apparent and we respect
fully request til al in so far as it may be within
the province OF your Office this ordinance
be enforced. Awaiting your kind reply we
remain, very truly yours,

Chairman Hart Will Introduce an
Ordinance For bidding the
Practice.

The following report from DR.. Henry H,
Hart, chairman OF the Com mittee on Bath
houses and Laundries, will be read before
the Board of Health to-day:
In conjunction with Inspector W. H. Tobin
for several days during the past month WIS.,
ited number of white and Chinese laundries
In the former l found rapid progress being
made in sanitary improv ments IN every de.
paftment, and fully $4,000 has been ex-
pended, while in the Chinese laundries about
5000 has been spent, thus proving conclu-
sively the great necessity tor an inspector in
this branch of the Health Department.
In the Chinese laundrIes improvements are
being slowly made, bat in spite of all sanitary
measures danger from the spread of contagious
diseases IS apparent on account of the nlthy
habits OF the inmates. Sleeping under the
work tables still continues; the use of their
patrons Clothes for bed linen, pillows, ETC., is
an everyday occurrence.

tive ana diseased Chinese fiourishes as in the
past, and In this connec ion l will introduce

severe penalty the spraying OF the clothes Wi h

poses for which they used. the inmates
being crowded together like So many sardnes.
Opium dens exist in FULLY two-thirds OF the
so-calIed respe ctable Chinese laundries in all
parts of the City, and whites of boI sexes are
irequenters of the places by day and night

with that idea in view it is proposed to se-
cure Sergeant Moffatt of Troop B, Fourth
United States Cavalry, whose term of en-
listment expires next month. as drill
sergeant.
To do what is proposed requires funds,
and as a way of securing them it is pro-
posed TO secure q numb Der of honorary
members who will pay $50 each per year,
and by so doing avoid jury duty. Ten of
these would contribute $500, and that
ad ded to the State allowance and the
amount the mem bers would contribute,
would, it is thought, provide a sufficient
sum to keep up the organization.
