Supervisors Favor Improvement and
Discountenance Extensions of

The Supervisors Street Committee met
Yesterday and ordered the preparation OF
an ordinance reducing by five feet the
width of the sidewalks on Van Ness ave-
nue.. between Bush and Pine streets. This
action is preparatory to tAe proposed
adornment of the avenue by placing trees
thereon, a central strip of sixteen teet
being set aside for the purpose. The
Board of Works was authorized to eX-
pend 1883 % for the Improvement.

While we have not yet named our new hotel
it is possible it will be called the st. Francis.
Speaking of the newly constructed ho-
tells abroad, Pollok said the modern ho-
tells of London he found to be a great
attraction to the tourist. Hotels such as
the Grand and Cecil. with it's 1000 rooms,
were besieged though the older and
smaller typical London hostelries still
have a patronage clingng almost affec-
tionately to them. Travelling Americans
simply love them, for they possess and
offer comfort and eXclusiveness. The af-
ternoon tea is apparently an institution
being much supported by the Americans
According to Pollok it is positive func-
ton with them at the famous .Claridge's,
where every day will be found an Amer
lean reunion, those present slipping the
refreshing beverage and chatting over
home affairs, political and social Every
body who is anybody meets there, and
the discussions are of the most anima ted
kind.
The hotel manager had taken a deep
interest in British politics. and in speak
ing Of the King saw his Majesty and the
Queen on the occasion Of their meeting
arrival from their long tour around the
world. Mr.. Pollok said:
The King looked to be in grand health and
1 cannot understand how at that time such
concerning him. The Queen looked on that
day as lovely and young as her young daughter
in-law. who sat in the carriage beside her.
1t was a source of happiness and deep salts
faction to note the strong, the undoubtedly
brotherly fellowship existing between the
but few families in England who have not ties
of blood relationship in the United States. The
intense interest they take in the welfare and
progress of this country was shown on the
death OF the late lamented President. 1 can

ALAMEDAN ROBBED IN
KEARNY- STREET SALOON
George Heinrich Knocked Down and
His Watch and Money Taken
From Him

George Heinrich, who lives at 2412 Lin
coin avenue, Alameda, was robbed of Il
gold watch and $40 in Oscar Osterdahrs
saloon, 921 Kearny street, about l o'clock
yesterday morning. He entered the sa-
loon and ordered a drink. While waiting
to be served a man approached him, say
ing he was fighter, and asked the Ala
medan to treat" Heinrich did so, and
the fighter began fooling with him and
struck him on the face. Two other men
also struck him. knocking him down, and
while he was on the floor he was robbed.
Heinrich notified Policeman ]. B. Cava-
naugh of the robbery and he went to the
saloon. The bartender, H. E. Mcmahon,
refused to give him any information as to
the men who assaulted and robbed Helm
rich, and was very impudent and defiant
in his manner. Cavanaugh reported the
facts to his superiors, and the bartender
and proprietor of the saloon will probably
have to make an explanation to the Po-
lice Commissioners

Members of the California Congress
sional delegation incline to the opinion
that there will be few If any changes in
the existing regime of Federal office
holders in California. They do not want
to be perpIexed and badgered by appH-
cants for office. 1t seems to be the Presi-
dents wish that no changes be made un-
less the good of the public service abso-
lutely demands new appointments. 1t
seems to be settled that John c. Lynch,
Collector OF Internal Revenue, Will re-
main in office until Senator Perkins re-
cords his protest against the removal of
the Collector.
The story comes from Washington that
Senator Perkins brought forth letter
addressed to him four years ago by
Charles NJ. Belshaw and other leading
men, in which Lynch was highly com
mended. The Senator, it is said, relied
these Endorsements to sustain his position
Lynch will doubtless hold office for a
while longer. He has been admonished
against "pernicious activity" in politics.
1t is quite we'll understood that his OFF,
cial head will go in the waste basket If he
abandOns his post of duty to meddle in
nominating conventions or permits his
deputies to resume political work for the
Southern Pacific Company.
So much scandal has been caused by
Lynch'S SuperSerViceable zeal in the work
of HerTin that his friends have advised
him to attend strictly to his official busi-
ness and let the railroad do its own poll
tics. If Lynch should make another bad
break-and be again exposed in the cir
culatiOn of bogus elegramS-SenatOr

ENCOURAGING AM6IDexTeRlTY.
The Objections to the Practice Elicit a
Reply.

The Objections to the Practice Elicit a
Reply.
The Tribune recently referred to 4
discussion by the Journal Of Insanity,
OF the question whether or not chill
Gren should be encouraged to use both
hands with equal skill. The attitude
adopted by that periodical was hostile
to the practice. But its objections have
not been permitted to go without 4
protest. american Medicine says:
Opposition to ambideXterty is based
on the theory that, while coarse move
ments may be performed nearly as
we'll by one-half of the body as by
the other, accurate and expert move
mcntS require higher organization OF
onc-half Of the brain than the ether.
Hence the more expert hand should be
allied; making the ordinarily quies-
cent half of the brain assume control
tends, it is said, to impairment of men,
tai processes as we'll as inferiority OF
physiologic speed and deXterity.
All Of which we deny, both fact and
theory being untrue. The writer. in
The Journal Of Insanity, has doubtless
been misled by observation Of the
function of speech, which is single
and in execution requires the control
of 4 single centre. We have but one
voice, but we have two hands which III
many cases at different instantS may
be put in action with the same deE-
terity. Many surgeons can operate
equally we'll with either hand; many
artists paint with either hand, and We
have seen men who could write rs well
with one hand as with the other. The
critic Of ambideXterity may reply that
this is impossible with synchronous
movements, forgetting that in the mu-
sician, and especially in the pianist
and organist, there is the most mar
rCllous eYpertneSs Of both hands. exc
cutting most complicated and entirely
different functions and at the same in
slant. The arguments against ambi-
deXterity appear not only inconclusive,
but are squarely contradicted by facts.
Surely, also, they are against desir-
able freedom OF the mind. Without
the musicians ambideXterity life
would be deprived of much charm. We
should encourage divided attention
and that large power Of the mind over
the body shown in the synchronous
control Of multiform activities" -
