that DR.. Nansen should care to risk

He was confronted two or three years ago,
when large sum was raised for the re-
lief of the unemployed, with the statement
advanced by workingmen that they could
make more in the City than upon tue
farm. 1t was, therefore, necessary to con-
slider this aspect OF the question-to stim-
ulate the workman's pride and allow him
to earn something by his own industry.
They might communicate with the farm
ers and find many men they could take
and at what wages. He did not think,
however, that there was single farmer
who could pay more than so cents a day
and board. and then there was not one out
of twenty men who would earn as
much as would repay his employer.
But something must be done, or the whole
structure OF society would fall in pieces
and chaos would ensue. In conclusion he
repeated that he was in favor of just the
highest wages that could be paid if they
knew where the money was coming from.
But" he said. ''do not do anything in
such a way as to enter into competition
with q class that must be supported or
none of US could live"
Mr. Bunker emphasized the serious ma
ture of the situation. He thought they

GAS ENDED HIS LIFE.
Suicide of Alexander Garraneau, an
Aged Frenchman, Who Asked
to Be Cremated.

Alexander Garrsneau. an aged French
man, committed suicide by turning on
the gas on Tuesday evening at his lodg-
ings, 317 Golden Gate avenue. The body
was found yesterday by Mrs. Modem, with
whom he boarded, and was taken to the
Morgue.
The deceased left several letters stating
that it was his intention to end his life.
but giving no definite reason for so doing.
One letter was addressed to the Mayor
stating that he wished to be cremated and
that he did not desire to have his name
or picture in the newspapers.
He wrote that he had no relatives in
this country nor friends, beyond the peo-
pie with whom he boarded, and that he
desiredto be cremated with as little cere-
mony as possible. He left letter for his
landlady, in which he asked her to keep
his trunk and other belongings as tokens
of friendship and as compensation for un-
paid room rent.
From other letters that were found
among his effects it appears that Cara
neau recently came 10 this City from Salt
Lake. and that he was by occupation a
retoucher. He was evidently not lacking
in opportunities for work, for letters were
found from various persons offering him
employment.

The eloping couple were Miss Lena Les
lie and r. W. Cook. The young lady was
barely out of short dresses, and it was
owing to her youthful appearance that the
gallant captain refused to perform the
ceremony. The young couples happi-
ness was short-lived, however, as the
young lady's iatber awaited her as soon
as the vessel docked. There was an alter
cation and an explanation, after vhich a
marriage license was procured and every
thing ended happily.
The groom is a popular employe OF The
railroad company at Los Alamos and Mrs.
Cook IS the daughter of a well-known at
torney in Santa Barbara. The only objec-
ton TO the marriage was the age OF the
young people, and Captain Alexander,
who 10 lndge in such matters, says the
objection was a good one.
Tney had a rafting race in the Brook
lyn Basin last Monday. Quite number
of foreign shipping is tied up there and
the men aboard find it hard work to make
the time pass. The captains would not
allow race on Sunday, but Washington
birthday being holiday they allowed the
men the use of the boats and one of the
prettiest races ever seen in the creek was
the result. The Rathdown's cutter was
there is not a boat of her class in Cali

The crack cutter was built in Auckland,

Kauri pine. She is one OF the prettiest
little boats of her kind ever turned out OF
shipyard, and If the Maorilanders turn

Unc Sam will have to look to his laurels.
The Rathdown was in hurricane during
her last voyage and after being on her
beam ends and receiving considerable
damage beside losing Que of the port boats
had 10 put into Auckland for repairs. She
was discharged, drydocked and repaired
and the port boat replaced. 1t is ciinker

Zealand boat mas put in an appearance. A
race between her and the crack boat of the
Naval Reserve should be pretty sight.
The race was between the boats from the

discussed, and IL was stated that both the
Spring Valley Water Works Company
and ex-Mayor sutro have signed the deeds
comforting the necessary right of way
through their property. There is. there
fore, every reason to believe that an actual
beginning will be made on the work OF
construction at an early date.
Among the gentlemen present yesterday
when Chairman Bunker called the meet
ing to order were: L. r. Ellert, Ii. J.
Crocker, Hugh Craig, G. w. McAfee,
Eppman Sachs. Louis Sloss Jr., J. G.
Johnson and the secretary, Charles Fay.
L. R Elert was appointed chairman of
the executive committee, and at once ad.
dressed himself to the i'm IN ediate object of
the meeting. expressing the hope that
they might be successful in building the
boulevard. He suggested that the first
order of business would be to map out q
plan of finance.
Hugh Craig said it would be well to hear
Mr.. O'Connor's report with reference to
the right-ot- way deeds
Mr.. OConnor stated that both docu-
ments had been signed and were in the
Mayors possession, and that he (Mr.
O'Connor) would have another conference
with ex- Mayor Sutro at 3 o'clock. There
would be no trouble whatever in this con-
nection. The route was arranged and the
RTAueS were HA6u. nc OK pcC(SQ LNAE the
deeds would be ready to present tomorrow
(Thursday)
The chairman inquired as to the extent
of the right of way.
Mr.. O'Connor said that 1t was a mile and
a quarter long, from the Almshouse to the
Trocadero and about 100 feet wide, so that
there would be work enough for the men
provided the necessary subscriptions were
forthcoming.
Mr.. Bunker urged that the first thing to
be done was to raise money, and that the
method previously adopted would proba-
bly, be found best on this occasion. Twenty
blankhooks had been prepared for coliec-
ton purposes. The City should be dis
tricted and the principal corporations,
especially the banks and insurance COM
panies, should all be allotted committees
in preference to the usual practice of leav-
ing these TO the finance committee. These
canvassing committees must be made up
at once; questions concerning deeds and
titles were secondary considerations.
Nothing whatever could be accom- plished
without money. He moved that the
finance committee be requested to district
the City and name the various canvassing
committees for those districts. He added,

"Uncle Dan" cannot decide upon any one.
The majority of the board-Colnon and

On March 6, at 1880 P. NJ, the parade will
start from the corner of Folsom and East

be at least 300 uniformed sailors in line.
From thence they will march up East
street to the union headquarters, and hen
to Market. From there the men and the
kindred societies will march to Var Ness

before the motion had been seconded,
that A. l.. Baldwin could not attend the
present meeting owing to an engagement
but had assured the speaker that he was
in complete sympathy with the work and
might be counted upon TO assist.
H. J. Crocker agreed with Mr.. Bunker.
The collector appointed would be asked
great many questions, and it was only
right and proper 10 be able to show what
they proposed to do. At yesterdays
meeting they advocated the boulevard.
The unemployed now expected to get
work, and intimations had been received
that many of them would flock in from
the country, though this contingency
had been to some extent guarded against
by requiring applicants to show proof of
three months residence. The committee,
he argued, should have some idea of the
amount it proposed to pay the men.
There was present, he added, gentle
man, Drury Melone, who had had a great
deal of experience in the hiring of men in
the country, and could therefore inform
them as to the sentiment aroused there
by the action of San Francisco, in so far
as this might be construed as likely to
attract labor from the country and create
dissensions between the farmer and his
men.
Before Mr.. Melone complied with this
request the meeting unanimously carried
Nh. Bunker's motion. Mr.. Melone then
said that he had been talking with two
members of the committee, and had point
ed out that the first question asked would
be, How much will you pay these menP"
He himself, for example, if approached
for subscription, would want to know
this. He had assured his hearers that if
they gave the men more than the farmer
could afford to pay labor would be invited
here to an indefinite extent. If less were
offered, then the men would, perhaps, ap.
ply 10 the farmer, and he thought that
/ labor should be induced TO go into the
country. 1t was true that wages we're de-
pressed and lower than ever before in the
history of California, but these conditions
had TO be met, though he begged his hear
ers not 10 quote him as being in favor of

VIII Resist the Opinion.

A meeting of the county treasurers of
Southwestern Nebraska was held in our
city, last Friday afternoon. There were
present from the various counties: Treas
urer Marshall of Dundy county, Treas
urer Blood of Hayes county. Ex-Treas-
urer Fitch, Treasurer Siebecker and
Treasurer-elect Logan of Frontier coun-
ty, Treasurer Berge of Red Willow coun-
ty, Treasurer Pearson and Treasurer
elect Eugstrom of Phelps county, Treas
urer Perry of Gosper county, and Treas
urer Hanning of Furnas county.
1t was determined to resist any action
the State Auditor might take under and
by reason of the opinion of the Attorney
General expressed in relation to the fees
of the office of county treasurer. The
opinion reduces the fees of the Office, es-
pecially OF the smaller Offices such as ex-
ist i'll this part of the state, about $3.50 a
year and, it is held, will be hardship
in some cases.
An organization was completed and
provision made for the means to carry
on the action which will be made in the
name of Treasurer John A. Pearson of
Holdrege, Phelps county. Treasurer l..
c. Hanning of Beaver City, Furnas
county, is the treasurer of the organiza-
ton. Able legal talent will be employed
to bring this action, and the case will be
pushed for all there is in it, which is
considerable to the small county treas
urers of the western part of the state

Supper and Campfire.

The old soldiers, their families and
friends had a pleasant lime at their an
rual supper and campfire, last Friday
evening. The opera house was well filled.
The supper was splendid feast of good
things. One of the features of the en-
Htertainment was the toast responses. j..
A. Wilcox decribed The Colored Troop;
Tom Bales told Battlefield Experiences;
A. G. Dole grew eloquent over the SUBJ
iect of Commissary; A. w. Campbell
told about The Refugee; William Weygent
related what he knew about the Saddle
Sergeant; G. w. Dillon grew reminiscent
over The Forced March: J. S. LeHew de-
scribed The Prisoner of War. These re-
sponses were all quite interesting, espec-
iallv to the old veterans themselves. H.
H. Berry was toastmaster. After the
toasts Comrades Armstrong and Starr de-
livered some rattling campfire speeches,
which were roundly applauded. The
drum corps provided the music.

Found Dead In Bed.

Sunday morning, Mrs. Lucy A. Pierce,
the aged mother of Mrs. Charles L. Mil
ler, was found dead i'll bed by her daugh-
ter. The deceased lived alone in a
house adjoining her daughter. She was
apparently in usual health, Saturday
evening, but not being seen about on
Sunday morning, Mrs. Miller gained en-
trance into the house and found her
mother cold in death. Heart disease
had doubtless suddenly performed its
fatal work. Rev. J. A. Badcon conduct
ed the services at the home on Wednes-
day morning, after which the remains
were taken to the Giles Methodist church
cemetery up on the Hayes county line
where they were inferred by the side of
her husband and daughter. The de-
parted was almost IS years of age. Two
daughters from abroad attended the fun
eral, Mrs. Scott of Denver. and Mrs.
Brown from Iowa.
