Oakland Office San Francisco Call,
COS Broadway, June IS
The Board of Works will probably re-
appoint Mr.. Miller Superintendent Of
Streets within a couple of weeks. The
Mayor has been making some inquiries
into the conduct of the Street Department
and is apparently satisfied that Mr.. Miller
is competent. All kinds of pressure has
been brought to bear on the Mayor to
force him TO vote for Mr.. Miller, and Mr.
Snow has refused to be hurried 1t now
looks as though the Mayor is ready to
act.
At this mornings meeting Mr.. Dow
moved that the Miller resolution be re-
ferred back to the committee of the
that the Mayor is ready to reconsider his
former action on the plan to support
Miller. There was caucus of Council
men last evening for, the purpose of try
Miller. 1t ended satisfactorily, though
with nothing definite on the part of the
Mayor He has stated positively that he
would not be puppet in the hands of any
political clique, and he is taking his own
time.
On motion of the Mayor S. H Hare
was appointed to keep in condition the in
tersection of Seventh and Market streets.
Several of the Improvement clubs have
advocated the keeping of men at certain
points for the purpose of attending to the
streets continually, and this is the first
move in the establishment of these
'centers."
When the members met as Police and
Fire Commissioners they carried out the
recommendations discussed in committee
yesterday. NJ. Hallahan was appointed an
extraman on No 5 engine; the appoint
ment of Charles HammertOn as detective
is laid over; the resembling of the APP
pointment of the Chief of Policies clerk
is laid over; the resolution referring to
William Quigley of the detective force
was laid over; the cases of John Rohan
and James Brannen will be discussed in
the committee of the whole; the recon-
mendation of Chief Ball that eXtraman j.
3. Kramer be removed for neglect of duty
and that George Planer be appointed to

AN OILY HABIT.

Ihere are people who become uncon-
sclously addicted to the butter habit
that is to say, they like butter and
gradually eat little more as the
months go by until they find they have
consumed, each meal, quite a quantity
Of fat, that they have not vitality
enough to properly digest.
This fndigested substance causes
more or less catarrh of the stonacb
and trouble with the bowels
The remedy Of course, is to Iareelv
cut down the allowance of butter and
for two or three nights sup nearly a
quart Of very hot water just before
going to bed. = This washes out tho
stomach and bowels and gives them
renewed vitality. Then the person
should, fora few mornings at least
rely on good. rich cream, with Grape
Nuts, for breakfast, letting out the but
ter altogether. The cream gives all the
fat needed.
Grape-Nuts and cream furnish an
ideal portion Of any breakfast. Price
10 cents per package.

thropic enterprise in the South. Within

Hanover County, Virginia, some little

acres, on which he will have erected the

to be barren of such institutions, and the

jails and penitentiaries are being cor

hardened adult negro criminals of both

The land lies along the Pamunkey
