san FRANCISCO eND DEWEY.

CA FRANCISCO will have monument to
Dewey, and it will be OF character sufficiently
- noble and artistic to rank among the best ex-
amples of American monumental architecture OF our
time That much appears well assured by the re-
sponse which the public has given to the suggestion
OF The Call that the erection OF the should
be undertaken
AS to have been expected, the proposal of the
enterprise has been followed once by considerations
to where it shall be placed. That, however, is a
matter that can be postponed for time. The choice
OF site will form part OF the artistic problem OF de
signing the monument, for the one of course must
be appropriate to the other All in due time these
matters will be considered and the decision, it can
hardly be doubted will be satisfactory to the CON
tributors to the fund and to the general public.
1t is to be noted that every one who has given the
subject the consideration merits recognizes the fit
OF making San Francisco the place where Dewey s
victory is to receive its most enduring memorial and
the hero himself his most notable monument. More
over, ali concede that it will be far better for Cali
formans to contribute to the erection OF monument
here than to the purchase of mansion at Washing
ton. The monument will be essentially manifesto
ton of Western loyalty and will be heritage of
the people for centuries to come while the Washing
mansion will but scantily represent the West and,
moreover will have nothing of the nature of an en-
during memorial.
Now that the movement has been started and is
under the direction OF an able committee appointed
by the Mayor the next thing is to carry it forward
with a speed sufficient to generate enthusiasm it
goes. The time is propitious to the undertaking. 1t
is but year since the great victory and
every incident OF the glorious triumph is fresh in the
minds of all We have but recently celebrated with
exuberant Joy and loyalty the festival of Dewey
day and the ardor OF the occasion has hardly yet
passed away. The public mind, therefore, may be
said be already attuned to the enterprise and its
responsiveness when rightly appealed to will be
found cordial. prompt and generous
The standard of excellence to be attained by the
monument should be set high. Nothing commonplace
or OF an insignificant size will do Deweys victory
opens before San Francisco broad pathway to com
mercal empire over the greatest OF the oceans OF the
earth That path has been opened a time when the
Pacific is beginning to be the field OF the greatest
activity OF the expanding energies of the nations 1t
made this republic known as a world power and one
that from this time forth is be reckoned with in all
questions affecting Pacific Ocean affairs. SO great
an achievement cannot be fifty marked by monu-
mental structure OF anything less than the highest
order

THE SPIRIT OF TRUE CITIZENSHIP

| NDER the title of Civic Pride" Herbert E.
| Law contributes to the Merchants Association
Review notably strong article on the nature
of the public spirit necessary to make San Francisco
great and prosperous. Civic pride he says, seems
to be the one thing lacking among our business
and newspaper men in many instances" His argu-
ment is that we scod too much, that harpng evils
does not them. On the contrary, such self
denuncations do harm for they scattered far and
wide and give the city bad reputation abroad. He
says:
What should do is to talk about the city, its
prospects and its possibilities We want to dream
about them. We want to read about them. We
want to have them constantly before us and tell Of
them firmly so often and so WELL that we shall
make converts. We to gather people to u.s. and
with them, work a great destiny for the city. As
to the disadvantages and the difficulties we have here
there has been city of any in the United
States that has had few as San Francisco Stop
and think for moment OF the tremendous dsadvan-
tage under which Chicago labored 1t is within the
memory of man when the best part OF Chicago could
not be given away Cities like other things what
people make them. We have every reason to be
enthusiastic the future of San Francisco 1t is
destined be the of the greatest traffic of all
the commercial cities of the Union.
There is much in the policy proposed that is attrac
tive, ana no QOuDt tnere Is considerable wisdom
derlyng it. 1t is we'll that people should not nfre-
quently take notice and of their advantages
and their excellences and make them known to
others. Optimism not nfrequently stimulates energy
and encourages industry greater efforts 1t is al
ways productive OF cheerfuness and that in itself goes
long way toward advancing the fortunes either OF
individuals OF communities, for it not only
strengthens the endeavors of the worker but it wins
friends
Nevertheless Mr.. Law is hardly justified in treating
those who point the evils OF the city as persons
lacking in civic pride patriotism. An abuse that
is never denounced will never be cured Nor is it
correct assume that the denunciatons of such Of
lenses njure abroad. Ship owners and sea
captains for example, do not need us to tell them
about the shipping facilities OF San Francisco and OF
the port charges. They we'll of all our de
fects Saying nothing about them will not cure them
and, Mr.. Law to the contrary notwithstanding harp
ing them has tendency to do So We are in
deed reforming by degrees the evils among u.s. and
may eventually remove them all, but will never
do by any process of boasting OF the city or bra
ging OF ourselves

THE ARCHBISHOP STEPS IN
WANTS THE DoNAHUF LIBRARY
FOR YOUNG MEN.
An Amicable Contention at Law In
volving an. Intricate Point and
Large Sum of
Money.

1t is not every day that people can bx<
found with courage enough TO refuse a
legacy Of 100000, no matter how arduous
the conditions attached. Still there are
some in this city, the trustees of St Ig
natius College being among the number.
Under the will of the late Mrs. Annie
Donahue, widow of Peter Donahue, there
was left TO them the sum Of 800 900 to be
used in founding and supporting for the
benefit Of Catholic young men library,
to be called In memory Of her husband
the Donahue library. At recent meet
ing of the college trustees it was de-
cided to reject the bequest for the reason
that under it's terms no provision was
made for the payment Of salaries and
other incidental expenses of the library
which the trustees did not feel they could
undertake.
Archbishop Riordan, who naturally took
a great deal of interest in such an fnstl-
tuition, seeing that it was in his arch
diocese that the benefits Of the library
would be most generally felt, learned with
regret of the rejection Of the legacy. He
decided if possible that the INSTITUTION
should be founded, and to that end he
has asked the courts to substitute him
self as trustee, in place of those named
in the bequest. signifyihg his Willingness
to carry out its provisions and erect ana
maintain the library for Cathonc young
The application has just been presented
in the Superior Court by the Attorney
General on the relation of the Arch
bishop 1t will be heard next Friday be-
fore Superior Judge Trout, when ex-At-
torney General Fitzgerald and Robert Y.
Hayne will appear in support of the ap-
plicatiOn, and John CARRIER and Barclay
Henley, representing the heirs ana de-
yisees under the will; will resist it.
This resistance of the heirs and de-
visees to the application of the Arch
bishop is understood to be entirely
friendly and undertaken only with de-
sire to have the matter forever adjusted
by the court. Taking this position, the
heirs contend that it is apparent from
the face of the will that Mrs. Donahue
appointed the college trustees by reason
of the personal trust and confidence she
had in their efficiency as educators and
upon their known character and ability
TO administer this kind of a trust.
The Attorney General takes the ground
that the Archbishop having been ap-
pointed a trustee for the distribution of
500 900 in charity under another provision
of the will, and being the official resi-
dent head of all things Catholic in the
State, is naturally the trustee to be Sc
lected to carry out the will of the de-
ceased in regaLd to d Catholic library
after the rejection of the office by the
trustees first appointed.
The question at issue is one of consid-
erable interest to attorneys, involving as
it does the principle of cy pres Qaw
in this case to carry out as closely as pos
sible the intention of the testatriX. This
intention, the relator holds. was for the
founding of a library alone, the appoint
ment of trustees being merely an Incl
dental matter.

THE PAM HANDLE EXTENSION.

THE project for the extension OF the beautiful
entrance to the Golden Gate Park to Market
street has fairly attracted public attention and
the more it IS considered the better the prospects
for its success When popular interest in such an
Improvement has once been excited the battle is hall
won because each days consideration OF its merits
develops new reasons for its ndorsement, whether
it be regarded from esthetic from utlitarlan
point OF view
The citizens OF San Francisco are justly proud OF
their great park which has not only proved a local
attraction and exerted most beneficial influence
upon the community. but has the admiration OF
American and foreign visitors till its praises have
been sounded throughout the world. But though
excellent and disnterested management and artistic
skill have already wrought wonders by the conver-
sion of barren solitude into a scene OF bewdering
and variegated beauty, it must be remembered that
the work is constantly in progress and Is not halt
done It will be many years before the marvellous
picture now spreading the shifting sands that
fringe the Pacific Ocean is completed. When it has
stretched almost to the edge OF the spent breakers
that through every gradation from soothing
to angry wars illustrate the attracting moods OF the
great deep, it will be simply incompatible. SO far
as we are advised there is large city on this con-
unent or in Europe that can thus concentrate the
most exquisite phases of nature upon combined
observed marking the Western limit OF this repub
lie connects the highest development OF fraternity
the land with that vaster fraternity of the sea- where
governments as we'll as men equal in right and
equal in opportunity.
The creation Of Golden Gate Park has already
stimulated the lberaty OF opulen citizens to eX
tent that will be elt morally and intellectually for
turtles It is unnecessary to recapitulate the lavish
gifts OF money that have aided the labors OF the Park
Commissioners But, when the invitation to this
educational and sanitary opportunity is extended to
the heart OF our metropolis, and the toing thousands
OF our industrial population inhae the soliciting
breath OF restul and purifying nature almost at their
doors the response will be so general and CON
slant that local munifcence will search the globe for
new attractions to perfect its relations with appre
ciative humanity.
There are uttarian views OF the panhandle
tension that should not be overlooked. The con
demnation OF land and buildings Tor the boule-
ward will put large amount OF money in circulation
and furnish employment for many laborers and
tisans. The Improvement itself will also enhance the
value OF residence property over a large and impor-
tant section OF the municipality This branch of the
subject will require further elaboration But pres
en it is sufficient to observe that the pressure of
sound public opinion is rapidly siIencng ultra
conservative opposition. When capital and labor are
united in the advocacy OF wise public expenditure
the combination is irresistible.

ROSA BONHEUR DEAD.
Famous Painter OF Animals
Passes Away at
Fontainebleau.

Fontainebleau, France, May 26.-Rosa
Bonheur died at II O'Clock, last night.
She had been seriously i'll with pulmon-
ary congestion for three days at her
home in Fontainebleau.
She left school early. Her father
taught her drawing at home and she
picked up clay modelling by herself and
was able to sell her efforts in this
branch of art for a trifie, which en-
couraged her to proceed. She was at
one time apprenticed to a dressmaker,
but soon abandoned this to continue
her studies in the Louvre, and at that
time she adopted the working dress of
blouse and trousers which she has used
ever since and which then earned her
the nickname of "The Little Hussar."
In 1S41 she exhibited in the Louvre for
the first time two pictures entitled re-
spectively Goats and Sheep" and
Rabbits" in 1912 she sent three small
pictures, and in 1S45 twelve, with a terra
Gotta model Of a COW. These pictures
Were remarkably successful and firmly
established her name. One of them,
"The Head of a Bull" has since been
bought for the national gallery The
first edition of 1.-THE Horse Fair" APP
peared in the following year. In 1S48
Horace Vernet, then president of the
Society of Fine Arts, in his annual
speech pronounced her the first woman
painter that France had produced, and
she was rewarded with present of a
Sevres vase from the government.
In the chateau in Fontainebleau she
