Comptroller McCardy Not Satisfied
With Street Force Pay Rolls.

Comptroller McCardy Not Satisfied
with Street Force Pay Rolls.
There was story about the city hall
yesterday to the effect that Comptroller
McCardy was not satisfied with the re-
suit Of his attempt to have the members
Of the street force discharged, and that
he would make an effort to have his
idea carried into effect by enjoining
the city engineer under the charter.
Capt. McCardy would not confirm the
story.
The mayor, as we'll as the other MEM
bers of the conference committee, are
opposed to the measure, and nothing can
be done with them as there will not be
another meeting of the committee until
it is too late to do anything effective.
City Engineer Rundlett will not dis
charge the men. He was given to I'M
derstand yesterday that they were all
willing to agree to let q pay day go by
and the matter will be adjusted by
merely having the city council hold up
the pay rolls for a meeting. 1t is requis-
lite that the council pass the accounts
presented, ard ir icy are presented for
the last two weeks OF this month they
WIFI not be passed upon until the money
to pay them Is in the treasury. 1t is
probable that the pay accounts will not
get to the council until the money is
IN hand as they may be held up in
committee. The only other city en-
ployes affected by the lack of money
are the members Of the board of public
works and the building inspectors Of
fee.

Mr.. Haas said, by way of explanation
or his action in behalf of Sauer, that
ne needed the job and believed that
irish would keep his word II he was
elected Which is all sample Of the
sort or campaign that Charlie Chapel
thinks Will be best for the interests of
Irish.
The campaign that Anton Miesen Is

sed by the thousands of friends of
John jackson, formerly chief OF the

taken much interest in the campaign.

not belleVe 1T would become him per

result Is that the very large and influ-
entail body Of citizens who were per-
sonally aggrleved by the narrow par
tsanship of Arosin in forcing Mr.. Jack
son TO give up the chieftainshtp of the
department are against Arosin and will
make personal campaign against him.
A former member of the fire board, in
speaking of the Jackson Arosin mat

that he had been promised d deputy

Secretary Healy, of the board of ed

Among tho Plain People Of spain.

Every fifteen minutes at least the
train would stop for five minutes at q
small station. The platform was
always crowded with men wrapped in
long black oyercoats, one end thrown
over their shoulder, and their heads
covered with sombreros or immense
soft felt hats. The women, in short
skirts of bright colors, mostly red or
yellow, and tight fitting blouses, their
heads covered with mantillas OF gay
patterns, were indeed most pictur-
esque. They all came there to SEQ
who was on the train, to hear the
latest news from other stations where
we had stopped. Conductor, engineers.
aud guards would leave the train, chat
with these people, tell them oil they
knew, laugh with them. How hap

struggles Of the world all those men
and women appeared. l asked num-
Der Of them whether there was news
from Cuba. A sad expression would
come over their faces; they
would shrug their shoulders and
shake their heads. their big black eyes
would suddenly look into the distant
horizon, far, far away, as they said :
"No, senior, no news. Cuba Is q bad
place. 1t takes the strong boys and
hard earned pesetas, and does not.

PRoPlTlATlNc THE DEMONS.
Strange Chinese Ceremonial on % Junk IL
san Francisco Hay.

Strange Chinese Ceremonial on Junk II
san Francisco Hay.
Many Celestials gathered recently at
Oceanic wharf to see the high priest.
Whan III, and his attendant acolytes,
embark on the junk Fung-Hi.
At l o'clock the joss, Kwong Coon,
was brought onto the wharf in hack,
accompanied by Whan III and eight
attendants, all in full canonicals. Plat.
ter after platter of sweetmeats and
delicacies dear to the Monaghan palate
followed the joss along the wharf, to
the incessant squealing of a reed in.
strument, played by one of the joss's
attendants.
Following the sweetmeats came
bearers carrying huge plates, on which
were varions roast pigs, ducks aud
sundry vegetables. The ducks were
the strangest items of the collection.
They were placed on the dishes in all
attitudes some as il attempting to fly,
and others resting in digni6ed man
ner on one leg.
At last, however, the procession was
in order, and move was made toward
the junk, the joss in the lead. When
the end Of the wharf was reached, at
signal from Whan III, the idol was
lifted on to the junk and placed
against the mast, on which it leaned
with wabble in its legs suggestive OF
locomotor ataxia after three years Of .
sitting posture. Punk sticks were at
once lighted and placed at the feet Of
the Joss, and the roasts and dessert
were then-very carefully this time g.
carried on board. Enormous bundles
of prayer papers completed the iunk's
cargo, and, after q large table had
been fixed up as an altar and few
prayers had been said, the high priest
ordered the ropes to be cast off and
the Fung Hi foated out into the bay.
The vessel was gaudily decorated with
lanterns, tinsel and coored cloth, and
appeared to be worthy of the honor Of
carrying such q dreadful divinity as
Kwong Coon.
The Junk sailed out for about a
quarter Of mile, and then the priests
began casting their bread on the
waters, believing that it would be
swallowed by the evil spirits, of whom
Kwong Coon is king, and 80 deter
them from eating up all the flesh.
Fowls, ducks, pigs and rice were
thrown to these demons amid deaf
ening din of cymbals and drums, and
the wondering Chinese on the wharf
did obeisance to their deity which was
ont on the water. At 4 o'clock the
Junk returned, and the priests and
their altar servants repaired to the
Joss house on Pine street, where they
conducted the closing services of the
Kwong Coon festival, which will he
celebrated again three years hence. -

Agent O. A. Hubbard of the Massa-
chusetts gypsy moth committee has
been temporarily detached and de-
tailed by the state board of agricul-
ture to look through the brown-tail
moth territory. He has now been at
work some weeks. He makes care
full inspection of the trees, and where
ever he finds eggs delivers bulletin
describing the pest, and a special
circular from the board, signed by
Secretary Sessions, reading as fol-
lows;
"Dear Sir: This is to notify you
that the premises under your manage
ment are infested with the brown-tail
moth, and your attention is called to
the law, chapter SIG, acts Of 1897,
making it your duty to exert yourself
persistently to confine and suppress
it."
Mr.. Hubbard is meeting cordial
reception, and has no trouble in in
teresting householders in the work.
Professor Howard, entomologist OF
the United States department Of agri-
culture, has been in the vicinity
spending three days watching the
work of the gypsy moth committee
about Maiden and Medford. He will

THE ART Of MAST MAKING.
A Big Item OF Expense for Yschtsmen
and Ship Owners.

The business OF Acknowledgements
and spars for yachts has developed to II
wonderful degree during the past five
years. SO much 80, indeed, has this
business grown that fully dozen
firms, whose business was formerly
confined to supplying the great fleet
Of working vessels with spars, have
devoted tho ma or part Of their efforts
TO supplying the thousands OF pleas
ure craft along the coast and in the
adjacent waters with selected sticks
upon which to stretch their spread Of
snowy canvas.
The value Of these masts is far be-
yond the price that would appear ade'
quate from the point of view of lay
man. For instance, mast similar
in size and quality to those OF the
schooner Colodia costs sum equal to
that which supports many mechanics
Jamily for an entire year, or in the
neighborhood Of $1,000, while other
spars on the craft are proportionate
