That Sank Centre needs a good
hotel-and needs it more urgently
than any other improvement adj
mits of no question. And at this
opportune moment comes forward
Henry Keller and offers to build a
$4,000 building complete, modern
in every detail, providing-our
citizens will change the name of
the city from Sank Centre to
Henrykeller. Certainly the sug-
gestion is in the interest of eu-
phony. The name Henrykeller
will sound quite as we'll as Proctor
knott, Albert Lea, or Hutchinson.

Now that the Laybourne bill has
passed, which makes effective the
constitutional amendment provid-
ing for cities framing their own
charters, the work of making a new
one for Sank Centre can be taken
up. 1t will be remembered that
the preliminary steps were taken
some time since, and 1t was found
that there was no warrant in law
for framing a charter, and it was
postponed awaiting the passage of
necessary legislation.

THE OBJECT LESSONS TO-DAY

Mayor Phelan went to the water front
during the lunch hour yesterday and ad-
dressed large crowd OF workingmen at
the Mail dock. When he asked for the
opinions of those who were in doubt re-
garding any of the points upon which he
had spoken. there was no response, but a
prolonged cheer.
The Mayor directed his remarks mostly
toward the criticisms of the opponents of
the panhandle extension. He deprecated
the attempt made in Southern Pacific
quarters to make IL appear that there is
some political motive underlying this bond
campaign. Some OF the arguments put
forth by the railroads mouthpiece are
so transparent that II would be folly TO
waste time in replying TO them said the
Mayor. The railroads opposition Is all
in nutshell. II the people Of the Mis-
sion have park and have music on Sun
day, the residents of that section will not
have TO pay 10 cents to go 10 Golden cate
Park. II the people wish TO walk or ride
through beautiful extended panhandle
they Will also not be required to pay their
dimes. There is the whole cause of the
railroads oppositlon-it hates 10 lose
those dimes and TO pay its share for i'm
provements. BY way OF relief, II abuses
all those who favor any public improve
ment or do anything except grant addi-
uonal franchises gratis TO corporations"

More than a hundred little folks. whom

them through life, had a bright ray OF
sunshine break through the clouds yes
terday at the Maria Kip Orphanage. A
Christmas tree was prepared for the

was not alone the tree, with all it's glis-
tening decorations and strings Of popcorn.
laughing jumping-tacks and other things
so inseparable to the yuletide festivities,
but heaped around IL were great piles of
presents for the little ones upon whom
Dame Fortune had not lavished her
smiles.
The lady managers OF the institution
state that Santa Claus has been unusually
good to the orphanage this year. From
all quarters came donations for the
Christmas celebration. and as a conse-
quence the JOY OF the unfortunate little
ones was far beyond expectations.
A great big tree was placed in the main
vestibule OF the orphanage. II reached to
the ceiling, and few feet OF the top had
TO be cut of so that II could be placed
upright. The board OF managers outdid
themselves in the preparations for the fes-
tivities. They took entire charge OF The
decoration or the tree, and their work was
nobly performed. Briefly, the tree was a
gem.
But few exercises preceded the distribu-
tion OF the presents. Four companies OF
the old children sans. Christmas carols as
they marched from the dormitories to the
Christmas tree. One OF the most touching
features of the occasion was the exhibit
ton by the nursery contingent. The
diminutive tots sang one or two pretty
carols. and then their Joy at the scene
that confronted them conquered discipline
and they broke from the ranks and ran
about the Christmas tree in childish &C.
stasy.
Rev. w. I. Kip was the master of cere-
monies and distributed the Christmas gifts
TO the children. II was through the ef-
forts Of the board OF managers that many
| liberal donations were made. The board

Concerts in Five Parks.

The executive committee OF the Central
Improvement Clubs proposes to give the
citizens OF this city an object lesson on
progression to-day. The weather prophet
has promised to hold off rain and bad
weather, and the desire of the committee
is TO attract as many of the people as
possible to the public parks, where II is
contended that large numbers should con-
greSate every Sunday and holiday, when
ever health and business will permit To
thus attract there must be something at
these places Of more than usual inter-
est, and the committee believes that moth
ing will draw the people out as much as
good music. Many are not able to at
tend the concerts in Golden Gate Park.
and so music has been provided for the
parks and squares that are most central
ly located.
The committee has engaged bands OF
twelve pieces TO play this afternoon from
l:3O to 4:3O D. m. at the Mission Park op-
posite the Girls High School on Eight
eenth street: at Union Square Park, Post
street; at South Park. near the foot OF
Third; Columbia Square. Folsom street,
near Sixth, and at Washington Square,
Union and Stockton streets. The object
lesson will be attained If the attraction
of good music at the city's breathing
places draws out the people and makes
them realize that a part of a day spent
in public parh is more profitably occu-
pied than in musty or ill-ventilated rooms,
or indoors at all.
