A R0MPING PLACE
FOR CHILDREN
PUBLIC FAIRGROUNDS SOUTH
OF MARKET STREET.

The little children south of Market
street are soon to have public play
ground, somewhere in the district bound
ed by Sixth, Second, Market and Harri-
son streets. The Merchants Associations
officers and the ladies of the California
Club have been at work on this project
for several weeks, and matters are be-
ginning to assume shape. A year or more
ago the ladies of the CLUB established a
playground for children at Hyde and
Bush streets and fitted the same with
springboards, parallel bars, seesaws,
teeters, etc, and the place has been so
we'll patronized that the move was start
ed to secure grounds in other parts of the
city In the East, where the children of
the crowded centers of habitation have
no chance to romp after the manner of all
young, public grounds have proved to be
of an ineStimable advantage. Before they
were established the youngsters We're
obliged to play on the streets or not frolic
at all.
AS might be expected, the number of
accidents from being run down by vehl-
cles and horses was large, but since the
experiment was made the list of fatali-
ties has fallen off materially. That knowl-
edge was what started the good ladies of
the California Club, and the first expert
ment here was so successful that the
merchants organization took up the work
Of assisting the club to establish more.
Superintendent King of the association,
during his recent trip to the East, made
study of public Fairgrounds, and when
he was called into this enterprise he de-
cided that the children needing fresh air
the most are those in the thickly fnhabit-
ed district mentioned.
Several lots are under consideration by
Mr.. King and the ladies of the club, and
one will be selected very soon. 1t will be
fitted with all of the appliances for
amusement and exercise of the other
grounds, and it is very likely that hand
ball court will be added. If the lot chosen
na lor a,1n, oh ho M
will be laid out. When the proposed
grounds have been selected and arranged
the association and club will begin prepa-
Sixth street toward the Mission, where
the children are many and the chances
for innocent fun are few.

ITS LABORS.

It's all over except the fireworks and the
shouting. At its meeting last night the
Joint ninth of September committee or
the Native Sons Of the Golden West COM
pleted the last of the important prelim-
inaries to the big celebration to take place
in Santa Cruz on the 9th, and all that re-
mains to do is uncork the red fire and
get aboard the special train on Friday
night
The fact that 1900 is to be the very big
gest year any festive Nativc Son or
Daughter ever saw has not dampened
present-day enthusiasm one whit. This
years birthday party at Santa CRUZ is
to be the largest thing of its kind that
has happened since the great, event Of
81. to which all loyal natives date back.
Santa Cruz has thrown the gates wide
open and extended invitation 10 every
member of the order who can crowd in 70
come along and assist in removing the
contents. The citizens of the seaside city
have come literally TO the front with a
grist Of good hard dollars, and every re-
port from that direction carries promise
Of a reception and a celebration that has
never had equal in all the towns history
of hospitality.
AS a result of it all, San Francisco alone
is going to send forth 1000 sons, not count
ing families and friends, and the local
ranks will be augmented ny me t9ur

as grand marshal and is busy with the
details of the big night parade from n.
S. G. W. Hall to the ferry, says that the
lowest estimate of those who will go out
from Oakland, Marin and San FRANCISCO
is 1900. but he would not undertake TO
calculate the number of people who, will
buy their tickets and go down simply to
see the fun.
The parades, both here and in Santa
Cruz, made the principal topic of discus
sion at the meeting last night. Although
the general plan of the procession to the
depot on Friday night had been outlined.

BRUTALITY OF POUND MEN.
Two of Them Seize a Poodle and
Grossly Abuse It's Owner.

Although the Police Judges have i'm
posed severe penalties upon deputy
poundkeepers who abuse citizens while
Selling their CANNES, they will not take
a lesson and continue to display un-
necessary brutality in the performance
of their duty.
Yesterday morning Andrew Moffat, a
man of small stature, who arrived from
the Klondike about a week ago, and is
temporarily living at 80 Natoma street,
was standing on the corner of Natoma
and Second streets. He had a small
Spanish poodle In his arms which his
wife had obtained in South America be-
fore they went to the Klondike.
The pound wagon drove up and two
deputies jumped off, One. of them grab
bed hold of Moffat's wrist and twisted
1T around while the other kicked his legs
from under him and he fell on the
ground. They took the poodle from him
and when he demanded an explanation
telling them that he was simply on a
visit here for a few weeks, one of them
struck him on the nose and told him
gruf1y that he should have had a tag
on the dog.
Moffat and his wife called at police
headquarters and made a complaint
against the deputy pound men, but they
were advised to apply for warrants for
their arrest this morning and they prom
ised to do so.

RECEPTION TO THE
CALIFORNIA REGULARS
PLAN ON FOOT TO FITTINGLY
RECEIVE THEM
Initial Meeting of Relatives Held at
the Home of Mrs. Baird Last
Night-What They Pro-
pose to Do.

A movement is under way to give the
members of the Fourteenth Eighteenth
and Twenty-third Infantry Regiments,
Fourth Cavalry and Third Artillery a re-
ception on their arrival in this city. This
was suggested by reas son of the fact that
in all the organizations mentioned there
are scores of California boys who, un-
willing or too late to join the ranks of
the First California Volunteers, yet arX-
ious to go to the front in defense of their
flag erlisted in the regular army.
Mrs. Y. c. Baird, who resides at 2513
Pacific avenue. was the originator of the
idea and she set the ball rolling by call
ing meeting at her residence last night.
The notice. of the proposed meeting was
published in the three dailtes and as a
result Mrs. Baird's home was crowded to
overflowing. The lady had expected but
two dozen, but she was agreeably sur
prised to discover that there are innu-
merable relatives OF the men hving IN this
The initial meeting was for the purpose
of discussing the best means of arrang-
ing a reception to the boys not, however
on the gigantic scale in which the gal
liant First was received. but in a manner
that would tittingly express the delight
the folks at home felt in having their
loved ones once more in their midst. J.
r. Baird. who is q brother of a member
of the First California Regiment and also
of one in the Fourteenth Infantry,
called the relatives to order. An informal
discussion followed his statement of the
object of the meeting, after which COM
mittee consisting of Mrs. Russell Bassett,
sister of Captain and Corporal Sparrowe
of Company G and one of the hardest
workers in the reception to the returned
heroes: Alex Mann and J. w Bursor,
whose sons are in one of the organiza-
tions, was appointed to arrange a meet
ing place. The commands mentioned aie
expected here on the 14th. 1t is highly
after organizing will appeal to the exec
tive committee for funds to assist it in
carrying on its plan of reception; The
next meeting of the relatives will be held
of same will be given in the daily papers.

A Remarkable Remedy
for a Terrible
Permanent,

A free trial treatment is being sent out
by the State Medical Institute in order
t6 demonstrate the fact that the most
horrible of all diseases can be cured.
There is a good deal Of controversy over
this subject among those who declare the
disease incurable, but the facts are In
dubitable and must be acknowledged. The
action of this new remedy is peculiar The
physician in charge of the institute has
had a long and varied experience treating
this disease OF The blood, and about two
years ago. after long series Of expert
ments, he found the exact specific that
eliminates it from the body. Having per-
sonally examined many hundreds of cases
and familiarized himself with every de-
tail of the disease, his discovery came
naturally and has never failed him. One
of his recent cures was a most hopeless
case the disease having caused the hair
TO fail out and the body was one mass of
putrescent sores, boils, blotches and un-
slightly disfgurements. In ten days tho
entire outer skin was healed and there

CORRALING SALMON.

A few days ago the Fish and Game
Commissioners learned that an illegal OBJ
struction to the migration of fish had
been placed in the Tuolumne River. and
on Sunday Deputies G. A. vogelsang and
Kercheval made a trip to the place men
toned. Near Grayson they found that
law or consideration for the fish of the
future. had placed across. the river fine
wire fence, through which salmon and
shad could not pass. A cleverly con-
structed pocket had been put into the
wire, so that every fish attempting to go
up or down the river would surely be
caught The material of the Illegal trap
must have cost considerable.
The deputies ripped out the obstruction,
Constable, and then they destroyed ali
of the anchorage. ETC., on the banks So
far the parties who put in the trap have
not been discovered, but If they are they
will be prosecuted vigorously. The mini
mum fine for this offense is 500. and as
the case can be tried in the Superior
Court the offenders are likely to receive
a greater punishment The commission
is determined to break up this gang of
law breakers.

- MOTHER great and promising
l scheme, involving millions of dol
~ lars and intended to combine the
grape-growers and wtne-makers of
California for the purpose of main
tanning prices of vineyard products,
has collapsed. The first was the effort
Of the California Wine-makers' Corpora
ton to reorganize for another five years.
The present failure is connected with the
offer of Henry ]. Crocker to buy all the
dry wine grapes in the State for period
Of seven years at the rate of $l2 and Sl4
per ton.
When Mr.. Crocker made his proposal
TO the viticulturists it was enthu-
siastically received throughout all the
dry-wtne districts, and long resolu-
tions were adopted indorsing the offer.
The movement was regarded of so much
Importance that the Chamber Of Com
merCe for the first time in the history
of the industry, interested itself and
called a meeting of the principal growers
and wine merchants in the hope of max
Ing the enterprise a success. The meet
Ing was highly enthusiastic and strong
resolutions were passed with the prospect
that they would have the desired effect.
1t transpired that there were influential
men in the business who did not favor
Mr.. Crockers plan. and they did not hesi-
tate to say so and predict that 1t would
be failure. or to declare that higher
prices could be obtained for grapes during
the period named 1t is said that this
fact had a material effect on the result,
but much of the failure Of the scheme is
attributed to the procrastinauon or the
producers. They agreed to sign the con-
tract but failed to do so within the stipu-
lated time, which ends to-day.
A great many forwarded their contracts
promptly, and among these were some
of the largest producers Of grapes and
wine in the State. However, there were
rot enough to warrant Mr.. Crocker in
Undertaking the great work. and he has
been compelled to acknowledge that his
big enterprise has come to naught- At
