All Ready to Mourn.

Lucy is a smart young colored
woman who oficiates as maid of all
work in a Brooklyn family. She is
much esteemed by her mistress and
the rest of the family and all take a
friendly interest in Lucy and her af-
fairs. When on a recent afternoon
out' she appeared in a complete suit
of mourning several inquiries were
made with regard to her bereavement,
as she had said nothing about the re-
cent death of any relative.
How long have you been wearing
mourning, Lucy?" asked her mistress.
We'll, m, this is just the fust time

Will. IMPROVE
CEARY STREET
Merchants and Property
Owners to Pave Thorough
fare and Fix Sidewalks

Fully alive to competition and not
to be outdone by other sections of the
retail district, the progressive mer-
chants and property owners who con-
stitute the recently organized Geary-
street Improvement Club, have deter
mined to take steps to increase their
business by needed improvements to
the street, better lighting facilities and
band concerts in Union square.
A meeting was held last night in
Vaughn & Keith's studio, 11O Geary
street. H. G. Vaughn presided and
II. Schussler acted as secretary. The
entire frontage on Geary street, from
Kearny to Powell, was represented by
the owners and merchants and they
all agreed to pay their pro rata for
the improvements. 1t was decided to
place forty-1ve arc lights along the
streets, which will make the thor
oughfare at night as bright as day.
These lights viii burn until o'clock
every morning, two hours after the
usual time for turning off arc lights.
The street is to be repaved and the
sidewalks reconstructed. Bennet's s
band will give concerts every Satur-
day in Union square. if permission can
be obtained from the Board of Su-
pervisors. Progress is to be the
watchword of the club and every ef-
fort will be put forth to make Geary
street one of the most attractive in
the shopping district.

Just in Time for Easter
Art and Nature.

That the taste for art is increasingly
widespread is indeed delightful. writes
Frederick Greenwood in Country
Life but again 1 say how much bet
ter 1T would be should taste for ma
ture break out among the wealthy Of
all sorts and conditions! They are
very much alike, these tastes; the one
that is least followed has no more ex-
travagances than the other, it is not
less elevating. and there is no bias
phemy in adding that it is rather more
wholesome. Yes, and for mind and
body, too; and still there is the thought
of the depopulation Of rural England
and its running into city wens, and the
much less chance there is of checking
that perilous mischief If the idler rich
do not go from out the city more often
to re-establish the country.-London

Jury DEGREES
ORIO IS GUILTY
After Thirty Hours Deliber-
alton 1t Brings in a
Verdict of Manslaughter
Oakland Office San Francisco Call,
111S broadway. March 26.

Luigi Orio, the Italian charged with
the murder of l.. Gratziano, was con-
victed of manslaughter this evening
by jury after having been out about
thirty hours. Orio broke down and
created a scene in the courtroom
when the result of the jury's delibera-
ton was communicated to him. The
two men had been friends, but quar-
relied over money matters. An hour
or two later the same evening they
met again and Orio pulled pistol and
shot Gratziano.
A hard fight was made to get him
off on the plea of self-defense and had
not Gratziano's 11-year-old son seen
the deed and been able to contradict
the testimony the murderer would
probably have gone free. The jury
stood two for murder in the first
degree and ten for manslaughter. 1t
held out for thirty hours, but finally
the two gave way and a verdict of
murder in the second degree was
brought in. The maximum penalty for
the crime is life imprisonment.

HOW PLANS OF CITIES
HAD THEIR ORIGIN
Can Be Traced Back in Most Instances
to the InclOsed
CarnD

camp.
All cities, with few exceptions. trace
the origin of their plan to the inciosed
camp. and many still show marked
features of primitive Notifications. In
all early schemes for defense the in
closed square was considered the best
From the time when wagons were
merely parked on the plain to the time
when buildings were constructed with
blank walls to the enemy and their
facade to the open square this plan
has been universally adopted; and
many of the great squares or market
places of famous cities still show un-
deniable evidences of these precautions
for defense. In the old city OF Brus-
sells the square upon which faces its
wonderful City Hall is approached by
streets so narrow that they must sure
ly have been constructed with the idea
of defense in mind.
Were it possible to forecast the rapid
development of cities or to predict
which of our many cities is to become
metropolis, the problem might not
be such a difficult one,' but such, un-
fortunately, is not the case. Even the
most vivid imagination would scarcely
have been able to predict the enormous
increase of population and the conse-
quent architectural development of
modern cities. The rapid growth of
American cities is we'll known, but few
realize that the older cities of Europe
have had a similar experience. The
recent increase in Berlin has exceeded
that of Chicago, and what is true of
Berlin is true of many other Euro
pean centers. 1t is then not surprising
to note that in Hanover, Hamburg.
Nuremberg, Leipsic. Leignitz, st. Jo-
ham a Saar and Madgeburg modern
municipal buildings of great impor-
tance have recently been or are now
being constructed.-Excha

YOUTHS DRILL
FOR A TROPHY
Three Companies Compete
for HOnOrs Before Large
Gathering of Spectators

The three companies that constitute
the military department of the Colum-
bia Park Boys Club, together with the
brass band, fife and drum and hospital
corps, gave an exhibition at the Page
street armory last night that would do
credit to a well trained battalion of
regular infantrymen.
Hundreds Of spectators thronged the
gallery and enthusiastically encouraged
the little boys in blue as they skill
fully performed the most difficult tao
tics Of the blue book.
The drill was given for the purpose
Of awarding a decision and trophy to
the best drilled company, and army and
navy officers were chosen TO decide the
question
At a little after o'clock the bat
talon, headed by the band and drum
corps, marched up the center of the
long drill room and took its stand for
inspection.
With their neat blue suits, brass but
tons. white gloves and tan leggins, the
little fellows were a pleasing sight, and
the approval of the large audience was
manifested by loud and hearty ap-
plause.
Lieutenant Colonel Roster, Colonel G.
w. Bauer, c. r. Alberger and several
officers Of the PresidiO, all in full dress
uniform. walked slowly back and forth
between the ranks.
At the conclusion Of the rigid inspee-
tion the officers retreated to the judges
stand at the far end of the hall and
awaited the first company.
Captain George Morse of Company A
was the first to call his men to the
floor. For fully half an hour he put
them through the most difficult tac-
tics without even having a break oc-
cur in the lines.
Company B, commanded by Captain
Abe Appleton, was the next to perform
before the steadfast gaze Of the judges.
Captain Appleton proved to be a great
leader and executed many movements
that had not been performed by his
predecessor. When the company was
dismissed the balcony applauded loudly.
Company c, the last to be called to
assemble, was composed of boys vary
ing from IL to 13 or IA years of age,
while the other companies were made
up Of boys a little older. Those of the
balcony and even the austere judges
could not suppress their smiles as the
tiny voices piped in answer to rollcall.
Captain William Mclaughlin. how
ever, proved to the spectators that age
has little to do in making soldiers and
that youth is no detriment so far as
drilling is concerned.
After long drill the small comman-
der dismissed his small company and
awaited the decision of the judges. 1t
did not take them long to decide, and
Colonel Bauer announced the fact that
Company @ was victorious.
Colonel Bauer congratulated the re-
spective officers for the work they had
achieved in the last year and praised
the men highly for their splendid drill
