would argue, in the event of fares being reduced, that the city was being injured, as the gross receipts would be correspond ingly reduced. He believed that the Su- pervisors should not be allowed to grant railroad franchises until after the people had first been given an opportunity to show at the polls whether they wanted the new road.
 l.. R. Ellert, Joseph Britton and F. R. Taylor opposed Cridge's plan. They said that if the Supervisors did not look after the interests of the city in the granting of franchises their acts could be vetoed by the Mayor.
 Cridge's motion to have proposed fran chises first submitted to the people was lost by the following vote: Ayes--Ander- son, Butler, Cridge, Mccarthy and O'Con- nor. Noes-Britton, Clement. Comte, El- lert. Cutie, Sachs, Taylor and Thompson.
 Mccarthy then offered as a substitute chiseS for railroads furnishing power or light be awarded to the highest bidder, the same percentage as originally pro posed being deducted from the gross re- ceipts and paid into the treasury.
 Another debate followed, and it was finally decided to refer the original sec tion and McCarthy's substitute to the legiSla tive committee for consideration. Tuesday evening, providing that railroad franchises be for only twenty-five years and that the tracks and roadbed then re- vert to the city, be reconsidered. He said that if the section remained 1t would put an end to railroad building, to the great injury of outlying districts.
 The board refused to reconsider its ac- tion, by an almost unanimous vote
 A section was then adopted providing that ex-Mayors of the city and county shall be entitled to seats and a voice in the deliberations of the Supervisors, but not to a vote. The section is taken from the charter of Greater New York.
 The Freeholders will meet again Friday afternoon.

 opening of schools, which multiplied throughout the country. He educated a new choir of faithful clergy in place of the few Greek missionaries left in the country. It was in 1922 when the apostle of the Servians crowned his brother Dushan Emperor of the Sibs and Slaveni, his dominion having spread from the Adriatic to the Black Sea and from the Danube to the South ern Archipelago. The great and good Archbishop fixed firm foundation for the orthodox Christian church in the Balkan country by creating twelve dio- ceses and consecrating for them twelve Servian Bishops. In praise of their first teacher the Slavonians in San Francisco sung their odes in their music and language, Of which the great Sehaffarik in his Slavische Spracheund Literatur says the foliowing@ ''Servian songs resemble the tune of the violin; old Slovenian that of the organ; Polish that of 8 guitar. The old Slovenian in its psalms is like the loud rush of the mountain stream; the Polish like the bubbl1ng ana sparkling or a fountain, and the Servian like the quiet murmur ing of a streamlet in the valley"
 The Servian holiday began Tuesday evening by a nocturnal service in their church on Powell street. Yesterday morning the divine liturgy of St. John Chrysostom was offered by Father Se- bastian.
 The officers of the society under whose auspices the banquet was given are as follows: President, J. Glavino- Vich; president, M. Tasovac; trea- surer s. Jovovich; recording secretary, g.

pany with his wife, who was the beau
tiful Miss Coney of this city. How
long a stay he will make here depends
upon the work it will be necessary for
him to do. 1t is his intention to make
a tour of these Islands, painting types
of beauty. From here he will proceed
on his way around the world, accom-
panied by Mrs. Vos, returning to Paris
for the Exposition in 1900.
Hubert Vos is one of the five or six
foremost portrait painters of modern
times. The list of portraits he has
painted is very long and includes, from
the little queen Of his own country
down to the street arab-examples of
all kinds of humanity. In the United
States his brush has been particularly
active. Among the prominent men
and women of that country, he has
painted many portraits, always gain
ing from them their perfect satisfac-
tion with the work. In San Francisco
for the past two or three months he
has been busy with many orders, some
from San Francisco and others from
various parts of the States. Among
the most widely known of the por-
traits he has painted in the United
States are the following: A large full
length of George Washington for the
Council room of the New York Clear
ing House; ex-Secretary Of State Rich
ard OIney for the State Department
and another of the same for the De-
partment of Justice; eX-Minister Rob-
ert T. Lincoln; Senator Calvin S.
Brice: several members of the Diplom-
attic Corps in Washington; the last and
most successful portrait Of Mother Nc
Kinley and score Of the foremost
ladies of the inner circles of society
of the principal cities Of the United
States
Hubert Vos' honors and titles are
numerous. He is an honorary mem

/ ich. Paris, Dresden, ETC.; associate
member of the Societe Rationale des
Beaux Arts de France. He is best
known of the Holland school of mod
| ern painters. He has received honors
and decorations from many Of the
crowned heads of Europe and has
borne off the highest medals in The
| salons where he has exhibited. He
was appointed court painter Of The
Hague and was knighted by little
| Queen Wilhelmine in 1894
With America he is delighted. Al

cratic parentage in that ancient little
military town of Maastricht, Holland,
in 1855. At twelve years OF age ne
painted the portraits of two members
of the Jesuit College near him. One
of his ancestors, Hugo de Vos, was
great artist and a companion of REM
brandt. Hubert Vos' mother was
strongly opposed to his becoming an
artist. "A painter! Pshaw, my son,
painter is a penniless vagabond,"
she said. mo son of mine shall be-
come a painter. Look at Jan Van
Stan and Mayhem, both painters and
both always half starved. No, no;
my boy" Therefore all that he did
when child, excepting the portraits
mentioned above, was done away from
home on Sundays out in the open air.
Not until he was twenty-six years old
did he adopt the calling of an artist.
He received as much as $4,000 for his
portraits, therefore his mothers pre-
diction has been by no means veri-
fed
Mr.. Vos was first daring journal
ist, who edited several papers and
managed a publishing house. Prepara-
led anatomy at a Brussels hospital,
then entered the Academy of Design
in that city, refused to work from
casts, but began directly in the life
class, where he soon distanced his
colleagues. From Brussels he went to
Paris, then through the south of Eu-
rope, then returning to Holland was
made court painter. A dozen or SO
years ago, determining to leave Eu-
rope for an indefinite period he set
sail for America, but stopping in Lon
don, was so pleased with English life
that he opened studio and school
there, soon obtaining eighty pupils,
many of exceptional talent and ability.
For eight years he divided his time
between painting and teaching, and
became known far and wide as one
of the famous artists and teachers of
Europe. He obtained first place in
the Royal Society of British Artists.
He has not, like Alma-Tadema, be-
come naturalized, but clings to his ma
tive country.

CYCLES VS.. CARRIAGES.
Wheel Factors Believe They Have
a Grievance

| oIlSNdISS.
All the cycle liveries were closed
on Sunday by order of the Marshal.
The wheel factors are up in arms.
They claim that they are Disseminated
against in favor of the livery stable
men. Sunday is the very best day
with the bicycle renting establish
ments. Usually the receipts for letting
wheels on Sunday are more than for
| any four days of the week and often
| for more than the entire week One
wheel house however, has always re-
mained closed on the Sabbath But
the others are very much worked up
over the matter and will take positive
measures at once.
The cycle factors who propose to
act will inquire why the horse liveries
and hacks are not offending on Sun
days to the same extent as their bcy-
| Gle rental places. If the authorities
| fail to see the situation in this same
light or continue to insist by action
| that there is difference, the cycle peo-
| pie who are out for a defense will
want to know all the why's and where
fores and have already engaged coun-
| sci to assist them in their investiga-
| tions
One of the cycle men in conversa-
| tion with a reporter for this paper
yesterday complained most bitterly of
what he termed a rank injustice to
the men who have gone into the wheel
| business on a large scale with the eX-
| pectation of being permitted to conduct
| livery business without any more
restriction than the horse stables have
| labored under since the blue laws went
out of date.

VETERAN BADGES.
They Will Be Awarded After Five
Years Service

The National Guard Of Hawaii is to
have veteran corps. This feature
will be created by the Department Of
Foreign Affairs. The thought was put
forward at the Cabinet session yester-
day by Acting President Cooper. He
wants every man who has served in
the uniformed force honorably for five
years to have a neat recognition of the
fact. A prettily designed souvenir
badge, with the coat of arms as the
center piece, will probably be the form
of memento. A design has been drawn
up by Maj. J. w. Jones and an order
will be sent forward on Saturday for
the die. The base of the metal to be
used will be one of the old, worn out
brass cannon up in the old barracks.
The number of men who have worn the
uniform continuously for five years is
not very large at present, but the re-
serve will have a pretty rapid growth
during this year.
