WANT MORE ROOM.
Lowell High School Needs Some OF
New Bond Issue for Adequate
Building

The Western Addition Improvement
Club held a meeting at Franklin Hall last
night. The object of the meeting was to
take active measures to secure $4,000 out
OF the new bond issue of s15,000,O00 for the
purpose of erecting a new building for the
Lowell High School on the vacant lot at
the corner of Sacramento and Cough
streets.
\. B. Greensfelder presided and ]. Hen
derson read the following resolutions:
The building of the Lowell High School
is no longer adequate to the needs OF that
school in size, plan or accommodations
and below the standard the city should
seek to maintain in schools. The made
quacy is shown in the oVercrowded condi-
ton of rooms, need of laboratories and
total lack of an assembly room.
The popular approval of expenditure
of money to provide Lowell High School
with new building was abundantly
shown by the petition to the Board Of
and patrons of the school and filed with
the clerk of the Board of Supervisors Sep
tember, 1898
Resolved That this association recon-
mends appropriation Of $175, 900 in bond Is
sues for a new Lowell High School build
ing and heartily indorses the bond issue
of $15,000,000 for new schools, parks, sew
ers and hospitals"
The high school was represented by
Professors G. G. Young and G. n. Walker.
Superintendent of Schools Webster was
also present and a letter was read from
]. A. Bergerot, president of the Board OF
Education, expressing sympathy with the
objects of the club.

ETA BUTLER
APPLAUDED BY
HER ADMIRERS
Scores a Great Hit in
New York.

An example Of the rapidity Of acquiring
celebrity is the instantaneous success of
Eta Butler at Roster & Balls, New
York, recently. A great many people
shrug their shoulders when certain act
in variety programme is favorably com
mented upon, and yet the variety stage
of to-day offers as great attractions II the
musical and dramatic line as we find upon
the concert and dramatic stage at times.
Thus when 1t is known that Eta Butler
achieved fame at Roster & Balls, the
leading vaudeville house in America, It
means considerable, and that she is par
ticularly advertised by the house aller
her first appearance means a great deal
more than any one may imagine, for 1t Is
rarely that domestic talent receives recog-
milton at this place.
Miss Butler will be remembered here
well by those who frequent amateur en-
tertainments. She was always clever in
dramatic defamation and showed a par
ticular talent for initiating great actresses
or singers. Her first appearance in the
professional field was with comic opera
company in Oakland, where she played
in La Mascotte." Her special hit in New
York was an exceedingly clever imitation
Of Modjeska and May Irwin. Her success
was SO great that she was Immediately

IN NIENIORIAM.

A precious one from us has gone,
A voice we loved is stilled,
A place Is vacant in our home,
Which never can be filed.
Dear Susie, you have gone and left us,
Gone to tread yon golden shore,
And to join with saints and angels,
That glad song forever more.
Yet, dear Susie, we shall miss you,
And our hearts be filled with pain,
For we wait to hear your footstep
Never TO return again.
But we know that up in heaven
All is happy, bright and fair;
And we'll join the gladstone chorus
Over on the golden shore.
Yes, dear parents and dear sisters,
am gone, but do not weep;
But rejoice my pain over,
Now | stand at Jesus feet
