City contracts with the firm Of Thomas
A. Barry and Company engaged a great
deal of attention at the City Hall last
night in the Street Committee, us well
as in the Board Of Aldermen. There
were some sharp words over the subject
in tho Board, but the "breaklng loose"
IN the Street Committee was fiery and
interesting to degree.
City Engineer W. Il. Cutshaw has sev-
eral times gone on record as opposing the
awarding Of further contracts to the
Barrys but last night he gave his rca :.
sons in sharp and biting terms.
III left to me, would otAaward any
contract to Mr. Barry he said when
awards were about to be made for some
street paving work. My dealings with
him have been altogether unsatisfactory.
and have absolutely no confidence In
him"
Colonel Cutshaw then said that the
younger Barry had misrepresented him
BY telling people that he Colonel cut
shaw had told him certain things which
he never said in connection with city
work.
A Word Inserted.
He went a good deal further and de-
clared that the elder Barry had come
to his office and asked to SEQ specltlch-
lions for certain work upon which ne
proposed to bid, and that he took the
papers away with him.
When they were returned the engl-
neer said n word had been added on a
different kind of q typewriter, which
word was decidedly to the Interest OF
the contracting firm.
He was sure the word was not put in
in his department but when the paper
came back 1t was there.
Colonel Cutshaw also said that.o OF
the Barrys had offered to send the city
inspector, who examines all street work.
a lug Of whskey to his house, but that
1t was refused. The city engineer, in
addition to these reasons, said he would
award no more contracts to Barry, be-
cause he is now suing the city for
claim he has put In on sewer work for
merly done.
How 1t Arose.
This matter has already been freely
outlined in the press.
Barry and Company secured contract
for constructing a sewer and when SET
Elements were to be made. Disagree
ment arose as to the method OF ascer-
tanning what should be paid for the brick
work The engineers department pro-
posed to settle as had been the clty's
CUSTOM by counting the bricks. while
Mr., Barry contended for measurement.
The matter was taken to the Street Com
mttee and tho engineer was sustaiaed.
The matter then went into the courts,
where 1t is now pending
After all the discussion over tho mat
ter last night, the committee awarded
Mr., Barry several contracts for city
work, he being tho lowest bidder In all
the cases he won.

Carnival Results.

A large and enthusiastic meeting was
held yesterday. Of floral carnival o1hce:s
and workers. in the assembly hall of NVo-
maf1s Christian Association with most
gratifying results.
After all expenses were provided for,
1t was ascertalned that balance OF
over a thousand dollars for both the Wo-
mans Christian Association and Day Nur-
sery remained. the undivided net proceeds
OF the carnival being something more
than two thousand dollars.
Though the ladies had hoped for more,
yet considering that the carnival date
unfortunately coincided with the San
Francisco disaster they felt that they
had much to be thankful for, on behalf
OF the two institutions for which they
had labored.
An exact report will be published later,
along with the names Of many whom the
ladies connected with the carnival desire
to thank. IN M FE5{t
The annual meeting of the w. G. A.,

He is a rare specimen, but he is always moving

CHARITY IN Paris.
Hoo '"IHe MouthfuI of Bread"
Makes Distributions.
Paris, January 90.

Paris, January %
To give bread TO all the hungry-this is the
object of the oldest private charity in Paris.
The name by which it is known here expresses
just that and more. The 'BOuchee de
Pain" CMouthful of Bread would at least make
it impossible for any in the great city to
die of hunger, and to this aim NJ Bourreif de-
voted the small fortune he had made in bust
ness. Himself originally very poor LAD who
had his way to make entirely unassisted
he had often known the pinch OF hunger. and
when at last in his old age he found himself
in possession of a small capital more than
sufficient for his own needs, he took in a
poor quarter and announced his intention OF
giving bread TO all who cared to come and
ask for it. Unfortunately he Indifferent
a fnancier that TO meet the ever increasing
calls on his benevolence he in a short time re-
duced himself TO almost his original penury.
Happily, he had interested some friends in his
good work, and at his death subscriptions were
forthcoming, not in any considerable amount,
but enough to prevent the work from ceasfng.
This was twenty-five years ago. and the
"Bouchee de Pain" has seen many more vicissi-
tudes since its foundation Yet it is a fact
that never once has poor applicant been sent

There are half dozen painters and scuIntors

WILL HELP SANTA ROSA.

Insurance Commissioner Wolf has
not yet determieed what action he will
take towards helping the citizens of
Santa Rosa out of their difficulty with
the insurance companies that are re-
ported to be welching on their losses.
He has assured them that he will do
all that he can for the victims 1t is
SO late now, however, that the help he
will be able to give may be only to-
wards individual cases through the
courts. He will probably request those
who have been held UP by the insur-
ance companies to write the facts of
the cases to him. He can then take the
matters up with the insurance COM
panies or begin proceedings against
them in the courts. This has been the
method adopted in the case of hun
dreds of policy holders in San Fran
cisco who felt that they were being
unjustly treated by the insurance com
panies. Commissioner Wolf may go to
