New South Wales, to Tahiti and San Francisco Kennedy < Fritch, an American commercial drm, that had just been established in Ia hiti, made a proposition to the g0v- ernor Of the colony to place two small steamers on the route to San Fran cisco, if a suitable mail subsidy were provided. An annual subsidy of $3O,- 000 for two years was granted.
 The vessels are to make thirteen trips year. On Aug 20 the Amerd- can steam ship Homer of San Fr4n- cisco, belonging to the new line, reached Tahiti. She made the trip in nineteen days, including stop of twenty-four hours at Marquesas.

REVOKED THE PERMIT
Fire Commissioners Sit Down on
Jonas Blacksmith Shop

There was little business of moment
transacted at the meeting of the fire
commissioners yesterday, hearing of two
matters which have been before the
board for several weeks occupying the
time.
protest was entered against the
esta ablishment of an asphalt refining and
paving plant near Fourth and San Pedro
streets. The con tractor, who has the
job of paving Fifth street, desired to put
up his plant for about three weeks. The
property owners objected, however,
many of them supposing that the propo-
sition was to establish permanent fac
tory there.
Mr.. Kuhrts was decidedly opposed to
the loca ton of an asphalt plant in that
vicinity, yet he was willing to grant the
permit for three weeks, but only on con-
dition that the property owners, or q
majority of them, agreed to the PROPOSE
ton. The commissioners finally de-
cided that the petitioners should be
given additional time to secure the as
sent of the property owners.
The protests against the blacksmith
shop established by o. o. Jonas a t 707 -709
West jefferson street were considered,
resulting favorably for the protest
ants, the permit being revoked.
Jonas had his attorney on hand
to plead his case. The latter insisted
that the board had no legal right to re-
woke the permit. He further argued tina t
the commission was practically con-
fiscating mans property by it's action.
That it had granted him a permit to
operate a shop and on that permit his
client had invested his money in fittings
and furnishings; that the revocation of
the license meant a decided loss to Mr..
Jonas. 1t was shown, however, that the
necessary frontage to sustain the petit
tion for the establishment of the shop
had not been obtained, hence the action
of the commission.
The usual demands and acquisitions,
also the pay roll for August, were ap
proved.
DR.. J. M. Harris presented. a claim
against Alexander Patterson, a fireman
conn nected with the department, for $1a
due for professional services. The mat
ter was referred to the chief

board retired, carrying with them the
again repeated assurance Of the coun-
cilmen that everything possible would
| be done in the matter.
| LIBRARY REQUIREMENTS
Messrs. Rogers and Burbank appeared
| to lay the claims of the library board
before the committee and were given si-
lent support by Mrs Wadleigh, the libra
rian. who was present throughout the
interview. Mr.. Rogers found but little
fault with the auditors estimate, as it
was shown that while the library had
spent but $22 .232 last year, there would
, probably be availa BILE $26, ,S7S the coming
twelvemonth. To properly conduct the
library the trustees had thought it woulG
require about $50 1000, but as every de-
partment would have to be cut some
what, they would have to do the best pos
sible under the circumstances. Mr. Bur
bank gave some interesting figures
showing that the total circulation Of
books the past year had been $50 goo, ard
would probably be 100000 the coming
year. Several departments of literature
Were short. He cited works that wels
needed on gold mining. metallurgy local
historical works, on Mexico and South
<AIiiti itoil SOuh II SO4OSy, Glt.
With the assurance to the library trus-
tees of distinguished consideration and
the promise that their interests should
be looked after to the utmost, the coun"
cilmen dismissed them and then enjoyed
a little informal talk on ways and means
or the lack of means. Auditor Nichols
called attention to the fact that he had
made appropriation for but $1,000 to the
contingent fund, from which came all
special expenses, such as elections and
the like, and which will certainly leave
pretty Thin ice, even though the various
pportionments are made to fit by a
little further pruning of the auditors >
figures. Added to all this, or rather sub
tracted, must, of course, be the delin-
quencies, which generally amount to
about per cent. Taken altogether.
there will apparently be a very narrow
margin to work on in the city treasury

coed to inoculate. We use a common
injecting syringe, with a strong point
or needle and inject two centimetres
of the LIQUID. The injecting is usually
done through the loose skin of the under
Jaw neck or shoulders. The tempera-
ture is taken again in two hours after
the injection, and repeated every two
hours at least twelve times, and If there
is rise of temperature of degrees Fab
renheit, then the disease is surely pres
ent. If there is fall OF temperature,
or less than two degrees rise, then pre-
sumably the disease is not present In
the exceptional cases where it is, the
cough and indisposition of the diseased
animal may reveal what the tuberculin
test was unable to detect.
The following illustration is from DR..
E. j. Greedy of San Francisco. taken from
the Pacific Rural Press, July II, 1897,
p. Al, and will make the above plain:
The herald., 1897-08-26

DIR. Creely, who has injected thousands
of cattle and performed great numbe.
of autopsies, believes the tuberculin has
curative and preventive properties. He
says: ''Tuberculin has great curative
properties. Inject two cubic centime-
tres. The fever will show the infected
COWS. Inject again in one month, and
will stake my reputation on the COM
piete cure of 50 per cent of the herd.
The proof of cure would be the immense
of the herd; coughing would
cease; the COWS would grow fat; the
quantity of milk would increase, and a
general thriftness of the herd would be
apparent. Inject again in one month.
DR.. c. says not 5 per cent of the diseased
animals will show affection. Those that
do should be sent TO the boneyard and
IN no case used for food.
DR.. c. adds the following: '"Tuberculin
is also beneficial from the fact that n
COW once injected is granted immunity
from the disease for certain period
There is no law, and none can be made
that will prevent a person using any
agent to find out the condition of his
stock. l recommend tuberculin as n
cure for consumption. 1t is Koch S
lymph, that was originally heraldeG, sew
eral years ago as cure, and in many
cases was success. Cattle are consti-
tuted differently, and thus it cures wheaa
it would fail in man"
Though not all our able men of wida
experience are so sanguine and full of
faith as is DR.. Greedy, yet there is a grow
ing opinion that we have in tuberculin
very valuable agent. especially for
purposes of dairymen. We hope Dr. C.
is not too hopeful in its curative and
preventive properties. There is no doubt
that tuberculosis prevails among the
herds of Southern California In soma
herds scores have been detected by aid
of tuberculin, and when killed an autop-
sy proved the diagnosis correct We
believe that all dairymen may profit by
acting on the hints given in this paper
The herald., 1897-08-26
METHOD OF USE


The normal temperature of cattle is
about 101 degrees Fahrenheit. 1t ranges
in different individuals from 100 degrees
Fahrenheit to 103 degrees Fahrenheit.
Thus, in using tuberculin, we must
first determine the normal temperature
by use of a thermometer, per rectum or
per vagina. If the temperature regis
ters above 1G3 degrees Fahrenheit we
should conclude that the animal was
not in normal condition and should defer
the test. 1t is desirable that the temper
ature should be determined at least "a
hours before inoculation, and it should
be ascertained as many as eight times
at intervals of two hours TO make the
determination the more accurate. III
case the average temperature is between
100 degrees Fahrenheit and 103 degrees
Fahrenheit. it will usually be about 101
degrees Fahrenheit. Then we may pro-
