BEGGED A PLACE IN
WHICH TO LIE DOWN
PITIABLE CONDITION OF A
HOMELESS YOUNG WOMAN.

With tears coursing down her cheeks
pretty Elizabeth Adams, aged 16 years,
Monday appeared at the gate of the City
Prison and begged to be given place in
which to sleep.
''I am so tired and hungry" she tear
fully exclaimed, land being without
friends or money am compelled to seek
charity"
After listening to her sad words Cor
poral Hickey promptly admitted the young
woman and turned her over to the mat
ron.
To the latter she said that she arrived
here yesterday from Contra Costa Coun-
ty, intending to seek employment. She
had 50 rs in her purse and as she walked
along Market street her attention was. at
tracted to the numerous crowds that were
waiting for the arrival Of the Nebraska
Anxious to see the boys in blue who
had fought for their country" she patri-
otically remarked, II mingled with the
crowd al Market and Stockton streets and
anxiously awaited the arrival of the
troops. AS they appeared Justify cheered
them and in my enthusiasm | forgot my
purse, containing all the money I had in
the world. AS the soldiers passed
thought of my purse and quickly placed
my hand in my pocket To my intense
surprise it was gone. / remembered that
while I was cheering the brave soldiers
felt a young man brush up against me
and it at once dawned upon me that L had
policeman, to whom l told the story of
my loss. He advised me to report the
robbery at police headquarters, but anx-
ious to get the thief before he had an
opportunity to do away with the evidence
of his guilt l started out to find him. Az
ter walking all day without getting
trace of him l concluded to seek shelter
in the prison, as l had no other place to

Corporal Hickey, on learning that the
unfortunate young woman had not eaten
anything since early yesterday morning,
substantial supper for her. AS the girl
seems anxious to get employment the
prison officials intend to apply to some
charitable institution with a view of OBJ
tanning position for her.

effect To them also was medical as
sistance cut off.
The patrol wagons had a busy day Of
It, serving two masters, police and
hospital, the location of which depart
ments are on opposite sides of the
town Instead of using the hospital
ambulance, the patrol wagon is now
used for all cases.
Hattie Emerson, who was injured on
Market and Eddy streets, was carried
to the City and County Hospital before
assistance could be given her. Dave
Scully. who was arrested late Monday
night for drunkenness, came up before
Judge Conlan yesterday morning. He
was suffering from head wound. and
could hardly walk. Had the Receiving
Hospital not been closed he would have
been sent there at the time ne was
booked The City and County Hospital
was too far distant, so Scully bled, and
in the morning tottered with I'M
bandaged head to the tribunal Of pO-
lice Justice. A number Of people who
received injuries during the day re-
fused to be carted to the other end OF
town, and sought the unripene1 sur
gical skill of the drug clerk A man
named Goodrich, so years of age, was
run over by a team on Mission street.
AS the City and County Hospital was
out of the question he was taken to
his home, where his injuries received
attention.
Not only are human beings suffering
from the ruthless and huckstering ac-
tions of the Health Board, but the
poor dumb brutes WIN had the misfor-
tune to stumble into that departments
service also feel its inept lash. At the
Park Hospital there was but a single
sack Of hay for two starving horses.
The attention of Supervisor Aigeltinger
was called to this, and he investigated
for himself. When he reached the
stable in the park the horses were
chewing up the managers. The Super
visor, with Veterinary Surgeon
O'Rourke. have offered to feed the ami
mails gratis.
The Harbor Hospital was closed yes
terday morning, much to the dismay OF
the water front. The doctors, matrons,
internes and ambulance drivers all dis
appeared from the scene as soon as an

truth is an indigestible food in
the composite nav Of the
Health Department of San
j Francisco. The Call printed
story yesterday exposing the
crude subterfuges of the Health Of
fcers in their methods to secure
greater appropriation for their own
special departmental use.
Yesterday afternoon the secretary OF
the board Leon Dennery of much i'll
savored notoriety, with a great show
or little and brief authority, freed his
mind of a burden that was burning
his frontal bone He refused The Cali
anv information on Health Depart
ment matters.
To foster an epidemic, to trouble the
popular mind with disease possibilities,
10 force the injured to jog over i'll
nav ed roads when the emergency de-
msnds immediate medical attention,
seem IN be the purposive actions of the
San Francisco Board of Health. That
bodv might lust as well close its Jug
Cling shOp. for as far as its utility IS
concerned at present, with all the act
i've branches of the department lnop-
eratfve. it might as well be non-ex1st-
ent.
The closing of the Receiving Hos
pital and the Harbor Hospital has
worked its harm already. Yesterday
morning and afternoon number OF
cases. some serious, others trivial but
attendant with great suffering, went
the long road to the City and County
Hospital. Mothers with their children
came from all parts OF the city 10 re-
ceive free vaccination. but disappoint-
nent was their only portion. The lop-
ming off at one fell blow of all inspect
ors of food and cattle let another eVll
into the city's confines-one which may
in the near future demand the atten-
tion of new Health officers. Had the
present board sat for weeks Matching
a plot to make the department when
+bev renresent a model Of perfect in
effciency they could not have been
more successful.
There is a law making it compulsory
for school children to be vaccinateq'

and woman had a broken thumb. In
every instance the patients were ad-
vised to go to the City and County
Hospital.
There are no food inspectors on the
front since the Board of Health prac-
tically went out Of existence. Yester-
day forty head of cattle came down
from Petaluma on the steamer Gold.
They were all diseased, and looked as
though they had originally been sent to
Petaluma to be used as chicken feed;
but when the news of the removal of
the inspectors on the front came the
owner changed his mind and sent them
to San Francisco for family use. The
veterinary surgeon went out with the
other employees of the Board Of Health,
so DR.. Lawlor had to go down to Wash
ington-street wharf and examine the
animals. AS they all looked diseased
he hunted up the veterinary surgeon,
who looked the animals over carefully
and said thirty out of the forty were
suffering from tuberculosis. he quar-
antined the band, and they will all
probably be destroyed to-day.
DIR. Barbat, one of the board, said
yesterday that the reason for the clos
ing of the City Receiving Hospital was
on account of the bad sanitary condi-
soon as the necessary Improvements
We're finished it would reopen. The
Health Board begins to recognize its
error. and a plumber is called in to
stop the leak.
The Harbor Commissioners notified
the Health Board yesterday afternoon
that they would furnish two phys-
clans, Drs. Van der Leith and Him
melsbach if the Health Board would
feed the two horses for the ambulance
and pay the driver. The compact has
been made
An injustice was inadvertently done
to DR.. Morrison of the Receiving Hos
pital in these columns yesterday. 1t
was stated that he had refused admis-
sion to the hospital to Private Riley, a
soldier, who was suffering from a cut
on the wrist. DR.. Morrison had left
the Receiving Hospital and was on his
way to the Harbor Hospital when Pri-
yate Riley demanded treatment, and
he had nothing to do with the case.
The error occurred through the con-
fusion Of names transmitted by tele-
phone.

evening the proprietor notified Special Of-
ficer Daggett that there was an insane
man in room is of the house. Upon open
ing the door to the room Daggett discov-
cred HerZog perfectly naked and praying.
When he approached the lunatic scuftie
ensued, which ended in the escape OF me
insane man into the hall. Mrs La Pierre,
who was visiting some friends in an ad-
joining room, heard the commotion and
she also rushed into the hall. There she
was met by Herzog, who struck her
severe blow over the eye, telling her to
the floor. The naked man continued his
mad rush down the stairs and came in
contact with the glass storm doors lead
ing to the street. AS he was about to
rush through them officer Freel attempt
ed to enter. The collision laid the officer
out and Herzog rended the doors from
their hinges as he made his exit.
After reaching the street the condition
of the man attracted many people A
chase was begun, which ended in the cap
ture of the soldier by Henry Stewart and
Herman Hoyer. Officer Freel was by this
time reinforced by Detectives Mcmahon
and Dillon and other officers. When the
patrol wagon was called the raving and
bleeding man was driven to the City Hall.
The insane ward Of the Receiving Hospi-
tai was vacant and dark and no physi-
clans were in attendance. The mans con-

his head bled profusely. The officers final

expectations will be realized. When one
is therefore, called upon to review the
performance of Lucia" as presented at
the Tivoli last evening it becomes neces-
sary to allude particularly to the mad
scene Miss Anna LIGHTER has proved
herself worthy of the responsible task
allotted to her. Her technical equipment

ConciseIy, carefully and accurately she
emitted the ripping runs and executed the
eXhilarating trills that ornament the bril-
liant spots of this scene.

So far as refinement and artistic facility
are concerned, Barron Berthalds voice
may vie with the foremost tenors on
the stage to-day. He phrases tastefuily
and sings with judgment. In the higher
register his voice is excessively mellow
and possesses ringing characteristics.
Resonance, carrying quality and force,
form the main characteristics of William
Martins valuable barytone He has been
raised in a Wagnerian atmosphere, which
is still surrounding him. William .Schus-
ter by his creditable rendition of Ray
mond, the chaplain, demonstrated the fact
how agreeable and necessary man can
make an apparently inferior part.
Arthur Mesmer has what may be termed
a milky tenor. He should engage the ser
vices of a chimney-sweep and have his
