Meeting of the Commissioners To-Night

There is considerable speculation in the Police Department as to who will be ap- pointed sergeant to fill the vacancy caused by the dismissal of Sergeant Davis from the force. The appointment would have been made at the meeting last Monday night if it had not been for the absence of Commissioner Alvord, owing to indisposition.
 The appointment will be made at the meeting of the Commissioners tonight, and among the names of those mentioned as likely to secure the desired promo ton are Policemen Rainsbury, Merrick, Leonard, Fraher and Al Wright. All these men have done excellent service in the department, and 1t IS conceQed that any one of them would fill the bill except ably.
 The resignation of Lieutenant Bennett of the Potrero, which will take effect at the next quarterly meeting of the Pension Commissioners on the first Monday in April, has also caused a good deal Of speculation as to his successor 1t is currently reported that at the same meet ing the resignations of Captains Bohen and DunleaVy and Sergeant Shields will be accepted, and the names of their prob able successors are being freely dis cussed.
 To fill the vacancy caused by the res ignation of Lieutenant Bennett the names of Sergeants John Martin and Price are ficient officers, and richly deserve promo tion. The general impression IS that Sergeant Martin will get the plum. If however, Captain Dunleavy's resignation is accepted. that would mean the pro- motion of lieutenant, and consequently there would be two vacancies of lieuten- ants to be filed, and both Martin and Price could be accommodated.
 Following the same reasoning, the question of successors to the two cap- tains comes into prominence. It Is gen. orally understood that successor to Captain Bohen lies between Detectives Bee and Seymour. The former is we'll

 Afternoon

The first monthly shoot of the Califor- mia Wing Club was held yesterday after noon at the Ingleside grounds. The shoot was for twelve birds and despite the high wind some excellent scores were made.

JEWISH FAIR HAS CLOSED.
Union Square Hall Last Evening the Scene of an Auction by Girls .
 and Men

The Bush Street Temple Bazaar closed last night. The remaining hours of the fair were spent railing off the various articles that had not been otherwise dis posed of. There was a great deal of amusement over this, as the ladies and gentleman vied to see which sex was most fitted to sell goods by means of auctioneering.
 Dr. L. R. Jacobs amused the people present by his sleight-of-hand tricks, at which he is quite an adept. Miss H. Nathan was also successful as an enter tainer and quite captured those present by her dialect and dramatic selections
 The fair has been both financial and social success, and everybody is sorry that it has closed.
 The holders of the lucky tickets in the railing may find out all about the win ming numbers and procure their articles any day at the synagogue between the hours of 1 and 2.

ADVERTISEMENTS. THE DUTY OF MOTHERS.
Daughters Should be Carefully Guided in Early Womanhood.

What suffering frequently results from a mothers ignorance; or more frequently from a mothers neglect to properly instruct her daughter!
 Tradition says woman must suffer" :" and young women are so taught. There is little truth and great deal of exaggeration in this. If young woman suffers severely she needs treatment and her mother should see that she gets it.
 Many mothers hesitate to take their daughters to physician for examina- ton; but no mother need hesitate to write freely about her daughter or herself to Mrs. Pinkham and secure the most efficient advice without charge. Mrs. Pinkham's address is Lynn, Mass.
 The following letter from Miss MARIE F. JOHNSON, Centralia, Pa., shows what neglect will do, and tells how Mrs. Pinkham helped her:
 "My health became so poor that I had to leave school. Twas tired all the time, and had dreadful pains in my side and back. l was also troubled with irregularity of menses. I was very weak, and lost so much flesh that my friends became alarmed. My mother, who is firm believer in your remedies from experience, thought per haps they might benefit me, and wrote you for advice. I followed the advice you gave, and used Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound and Liver Pills as you directed, and am now as well as I ever was. have gained flesh and have a good color. am completely cured of irregularity."

The Vice of Gambling.

The speaker at the Young Mems Chris tian Associations regular Sunday service yesterday was Rev. w. H. Moreand of St Luke's Church. The subject matter of his address was the viciousness and evil effects of gambling, and the talk his au- dience listened to was remarkable for its choir of forty men and boys assisted in the service.

the names most prominently mentioned are Lieutenant Hanna and Sergeant Helms. The lieutenant has the advan- tage of being in the direct line of promo ton, but Helms has served several years under Dunleavy on the water front, and is thoroughly conversant with the pe- culiarities of the district.

Baksr Springs trip this afternoon
He made a record up there as a
hunter-killing an alligator at the
first shot. After this the ladies
went wild over Herman and had he
quit hunting he would still be their
idol, but the evil day came when
he started out again with his rifle,
the crack of which could be heard
all the morning in the woods near
the springs, the ladies keeping
count of the number OF times he
shot which was 80, and they
thought he had found a nest of
Saurians and was wiping them out
in bloody battle. When he came
to the hotel and had only one old
fox squirrel they would not speak
to him and he left there with a
broken heart. His brother Carl
went up yesterday to administer

grapes, all well rounded and evenly
ripened, and two varieties of figs
that were simply immense. Mr..

idle in making their home at
