REFUSES TO PAY
LIGHT DEMANDS
Board Of Works Claims
Companies Violate
Contracts.
Accepts Resignation of Bar
nett as Building Super
intendent.

The Board of Public Works yesterday
refused to pass the demands Of several
lighting companies for gas and electric
light furnished the city during December
on the ground that the companies have
violated their contracts in working their
employees in excess of eight hours per
day The board sent the following com
munication to the Board of Supervisors,
explaining its action:
SAN FRANCISCO Jan. 0, 1903.
To the Honorable. the Board Of Supervisors
of the City and County of san Francisco
Srs: This board respectfully transmits
without its approval, certain demands, as
hereinafter enumerated, Tor the month Of De-
cember, 1902, in favor of gas and electric com
panies. the reason for said disapproval being
that this board has been reliably informed
and after investigation believes that that por-
tion of the contract entered into by and be-
tween the City and County of San Francisco
and said gas and electric companies that eight
hours shall constitute days work has been
violated. Respectfully,
BOARD OF PUBLIC WORKS.

Star OF Empire.

The construction Of the Siberian rail-
road has practically reduced the earth's
size by One-fOurth, says Prof. Frederick
Austin Ogg, in the C~haUtauquan for
January. In other words, the construc-
ton OF the Siberian railroad has re-
duCad the journey from ST. Petersburg
TO the Pacific from one of many months
TO n of q few days. In the same way
the construction Of our own Pacific
roads reduced the journey from Chica-
go to the Pacific from one of a hundred
days TO one Of q hundred hours.
When the United States secured q
foothold, beyond the Mississippi the cry
of the American people was westward
the star Of empire takes its way, II
in fifty al they had a foothold on the
Pacific $500 miles way. But it was
not until the railroads had cut the jour-
ney down TO one of days that the en-
piTe Of the farther west was conquered.
When the Russians broke through
the Ural Mountains their cry was
eastward the star Of empire eSoped
blindly across the 1900 miles OF I'M
known territory with no goal in sight.
When the Cossacks, in 1886 discovered
the Pacific the real Russian march east
ward, based on desire for sea power,
began.

THREATENED COFFEE CRISIS.

The coffee growers of South America
are becoming still more anxious regard
ing the outl 1ok of their business. The
production is enormous, said to be much
greater than the consumption in oun
tries who draw their supply from the
South American states, consequently
the price to the prJ 1Icer has reached
a point below the cost of production
and there is an immense stock on hand.
They have been losing honey so long
tina a crisis is imminent. Delegates
from thirteen of the coffee producing
states met in New York last October
to try TO levise plans for aYerting the
seriou catastrophe which threatened
them. The result Of their deliberations
have just been made now Among
the remedies proposed are: Efforts to
try to discourage Importation in other
countries Of 2dulterations of coffee; to
obtain from the countries Of the con-
sumers a reduction in the duties and
other taxes on coffee; to form a perma-
nent organization to Exert an influence
for the use Of good coffee. and to devise
a system of holding ack part of the
crop and putting upon the market only
enough to supply current demand. This
convention eecommends a sort of inter
national treaty to give effect to this
method Of keeping up the price of coffee
to the consumers So that the planters
down in South America may not lose
money. These men want many other
novel methods adopted by the govern
ments in countries Ct the toI
prevent their losing money in the cult
walton Of the coffee. For instance, they
suggest that these governments should
require their soldiers and sailors to use
coffee as a beverage n should estab-
lish places for demonstrating the good
results from using pure coffee.
If the South American countries cam
ask this class of aid of foreign nationsl
for the enhancement Of the value of
their coffee crop our government should
take steps to, in similar hammer, in
crease the value of our cotton, corn aud
wheat crops. There would be just asI
much sense end reason in it's asking theI
European government to pass such lawsl
regarding cur leading export crops asI
would increase the value Of these cropsl
TO our farmers. |

in irony-a grim joke that was to vra'.

point-they laid by the coffin the
poor, forgotten courteSan a bronze mir
ror without a handl and a little stone

AS the digging progressed from this
point the history of decline became un-

the remains Of the period of 1000 before
Christ they found habitations OF priests,
showing that the temple had votaries.
But they were poor and meager like -,
ruined graves of the khadifs. And
when the workers reached the rem s
of 1900 years before Christ they found
that dust and sand had even then bu-
ried the glorious dynasty and over
them were hundreds of mean graves.
When the party reached the Greek
period the great discovery was made If
the poem of Timotheos. 1t was found
in 4 mighty wooden coffin. a Creek
had been buried there long before the
time OF the Man of Galilee. With him
had been inferred a roll of papyrus.
Unrolled it proved to be about four
feet long, containing five columns .
Greek verse written in ancient uncidl
characters. The eXcavators at onca sent
for DR.. Rubensnon, who was in Cairo at
the time seeking Greek manuscripts for
the Berlin museum, and he declared
that it WaS probably the oldest Greek
book ever discovered.
