you, let US know 1t, and we will put
you right before the world. If you have
company. tell us-if you are not
ashamed of your visitor. If you have
spsrty or gathering of any kind, bring
around the cake, seven or eight pies
and side of hsm-not necessarily to
eat, but just to show your friendship

The performance of the Smythe &
Rice comedy company in "My Friend
from India, has always been received
in manner that has been most graft
flying ia all concerned wherever it has
been witnessed The comedy is ex.
ceedingly bright, interesting and novel
and so lively in action that there is
never moment in which to wonder
at its success or dissect the motives of
its char acters. The mirror scene in
the second act is marvel of ingenuity
and as played by George Mack and
Miss Arnott is only to be described by
the use of such hackneyed expressions
as overwhelmingly funny" or intensely
amusing" although both terms seem
inadequate and fail to fully character
ize the cleverness of the conception
and dizziness of the actors interested
George Mack, who plays the theosophi-
cal barber around whom the action re-
wolves with almost GREATNESS speed, Is
always commended for the consistency
with which the character is sustained
and the earnestness which makes the
entire comedy enjoyable. Charles
Bradshaw, made up to resemble pic
lures of Mark Hanna, is said to be
unctuonsly funny as the Kansas City
pork packer, has been praised greatly
for his characterization. Mill Gilman
gives as lilly, the German maid, q
character sketch SO quaint and laugh.
able, as to make one wish she might be
more in evidence The entire cast has
been praised for its work in the CON-
edy that made all unknown author ia
nous in night.

What to Do.

There is comfort in the knowledge so
often expressed that DR.. Kilmer's
Swamp Root, the great kidney remedy,
fulfills every wish in curing rheuma-
tism, pain in the back, kidneys, liver,
bladder and every part of the urinary
passage. 1t corrects inability to hold
water and scalding pain in passing it,
or bad effects following use of liquor,
wine or beer, and overcomes that I'M
pleasant necessity of being compelled
TO go often during the day and to get
up many times during the night The
mild and extraordinary effect of
Swamp Root is soon realized. It stands
the highest for its wonderful cures of
the most distressing cases. If you need
a medicine you should have the best.

wonderful discovery and book that

1MPRo TEMENT FEDERATION.
Special Committee Will Appear Be-
fore the Board of Supervisors.

The Federation of Improvement Clubs
recently formed for the Mission district
southwest of Twenty-seventh street are
in form improving their section and will
endeavor to persuade the Supervisors
that the improvements are absolutely
necessary. To accomplish this desirable
object the directors of the federation
have sought the assistance of the Mer-
chants Association. and the latter has
conceded that sewers and schoolhouses
are among the urgent needs of the COM
munity represented by the federated
clubs A joint request from the two
bodies will be presented at the meeting
of the Street Committee of the board on
next Wednesday by a special committee
appointed at the last meeting of the die
rectors of the Federated Clubs consist
ing of A. S. Little. J. Schnee, A. C. Grif-
fifth Joe Touhey and Robert Anderson
This committee will ask that the outside
boundary as already mentioned be pro-
vded with a proper system of sewerage,
sufficient school accommodation for the
wants of the numerous children who are
either crowded out of school buildings al
together or so crowded as to be in dan
ger Of contra citing disease. The commit
tee VIII also call to the attention of the
city fathers the fact that the outside sec
lions enumerated should have at least
thirty additional electric lamps.

capitalists who backed such venture w
Z. Hewitt, superintendent Of the fire
alarm and police telegraph, was requested
to submit specifications for the laying out
or the proposed system. This will include
an estimate of the service required in va
r1ous parts of the city, the size of poles
and other information.
The discussion developed the fact that
the San Francisco Gas and Electric
Company has only a revocable privilege in
the use Of the streets for the erection Of
which could not be wrested from its
grasp.
The effort to have wires placed under
ground within certain limits is expected to
prove successful. The question to be de-
cided is as to the limits within which this
action shall be taken. 1t is conceded the
fire limits cover too large an area. The in
tention is to allow the companies owning
wires sixty days in which 10 commence
taking down the wires. The. work to be
completed in from eight months to a year.
When the meeting was called to order
by Chairman Aigeltinger Mr.. Baldwin eX
planned that the Merchants Association
was unprepared to take a stand on the
questions to he discussed owing to lack of
time to consider them. They were of too
great Importance to the city 10 be acted
Supervisor Aigeltinger, in the course of
the general discussion that .ensued,
wanted to learn If the city could have
competition in lighting without the va
rious companies having the right to
erect poles, which privilege carried in its
train the disfguring of the city. Mr..
Baldwin said every resident and prop
erty-owner favored competition and ia
vored any plan that would bring II about.
Mr.. Spreckels suggested that the Mer-
chants Association meet and suggest
plans To this Mr. Baldwin replied that
the association would do anything posi-
BILE to produce competition, and thus give
light at a low reasonable rate. Mr..
Summerhayes Of the Mutual Company
said If his people were placed on the
same footing as the rival company they
would guarantee to supply light for 80 1-3
per cent less than the price now charged.
Mr. Baldwin asked Mr.. Spreckels what
were his views regarding the use of one
set of poles in common by all the COM
panies. THE privilege should, properly,
be given any company TO use the poles
now in existence upon payment of rea-
sonable compensation, said Mr., Spreck-
els independent poles for each COM
pany would not be reasonable It would
mar the beauty Of the city by filing the
sidewalks with unsightly poles.
Mr.. Cromwell said if the Mutual Com
pany be granted the right to erect poles
1t would be willing to allow Mr.. Spreck-
els company the use of them, jointly.
The city would also be granted the use
of the poles for its fire alarm and police
telegraph. Beyond that he did not care
to farm out the use of the poles. Con-
sideration of the matter will be resumed
next week. From the tenor of the Super
visors' remarks it is evident the lighting
field will be thrown open for competition.
and the present monopoly broken down.

daring robbery was committed by two
young women at an early hour yesterday
morning, and they were both arrested on
charges of grand larceny and vagrancy.
The complaining witness against them is
Henry Hook, a brewer living at 1924 Turk
street. He boarded an Eddy-street car at
Powell street shortly after midnight and
two young women got on the car at the
same time. They sat on the dummy be-
side him, and one of them, soon after the
car started, endeavored to engage him in
conversation. She was unsuccessful, as
Hook felt annoyed at her impudence.
Hook got off the car at Webster street,
and to his surprise the two young women
left the car at the same time, and he OBJ
served that they were following behind
him. 1t never occurred to him that they
had any evil designs upon him, and con-
tinued his walk home still followed by the
young women.
As he reached the steps leading up to
his front door the young women were
close behind him, and the taller of the
two threw her arms around his neck
in a tight embrace. Hook was
too much taken aback to make
she released her hold, and the two went
away laughing at him.
his purse containing about $50 was miss
ing, and he suspected that while the taller
of the two women held him round the
neck the other went through his pockets
and stole the purse. He returned to the
street, and after wandering around in
search of a policeman he met officers Nc
Shane and Green. h told his adven-
ture to them and ga them a descrip
ton of the two womeI-.
About o'clock in the morning Nc
Shane saw two women standing in the
doorway of barber-shop at Fulton and
Laguna streets talking TO the. barber.
They answered the description of the two
who had robbed Hook and McShane ques-
toned them. He was not satisfied with
their answers and placed them under ar
rest, sending them to the City Prison In
ed with grand larceny and yagrancy:
They gave the names of Bessie Bond and
Gertrude Heightler.,
Hook called at the prison yesterday
morning and positively identified them,
Bessie being the one who threw her arms
around his neck They were taken before
Judge Mogan yesterday morning. and
the cases were continued till tomorrow.

portrait painting, and the likeness
of many celebrities were reproduced
on his canvas. Several years ago
he visited the Hawaiian Islands and
later went to Apia, Samoa, where
he resided with Robert Louis
Stevenson, the stepfather of his
first wife. In the scenery of the
Oriental islands he found fit sub
jects for art and completed very
fine collection of studies, sketches
and finished paintings. His work
was exhibited at the Columbian Elk
position in 1898 and again. at the
Midwinter Fair. 1t was all charac-
teristic of the barbaric life in the
bronzed tropics and was full of
force and beauty.
He returned to San Francisco
three years ago and established a
studio In speaking of it the Over

was a strange mingling of Samoa
and San Francisco. Savage chiefs

tract for the painting of the por-
trait of Ex-Governor Budd, but had
not yet commenced it. When he
was taken i'll he was just complet-

year ago he married Miss Elizabeth
Haight, a niece of Ex-Governor
Haight, and she still survives him.
He received his early study in Mu-

were Carl Piloty and Wagner, whose
