: :. THE SMART SET

Few of the friends of Mrs. Thomas
Driscoll have been aware of her severe
attack of typhoid fever, following so
closely upon the birth of her little son.
The little chap was but few days old
when the fire caused the hasty removal
of mother and child from one place to
another until final refuge was found
in Piedmont. Here a charming little
home was procured and the family made
comfortable, Mrs. Driscoll Sr. accom-
panying the young people.
Then, presumably from the exposure
and the emergency Diet, the insidious
fever set in. But intelligent care and
the rural quiet have had their effect
and the patient has weathered the
worst and is now quite convalescent.
Thomas Jr. is doing finely through
it ALL
Mrs. Fred A. Woods has taken apart
ments at the RegilluS on Van Ness ave-
nue. for the rest of the summer, giving
up her big home on Oetavia street.
The marriage of Miss Elizabeth Al
len and Otis Burrage will take place to-
day. the ceremony to be held at 3:30.
This is one of the weddings set for Sep
tember and would have been one of the
chief early fall events, but the service
will be very quietly performed in the
presence of only relatives and intimate
friends.
The bride will be served by Miss Su-
same Kirkpatrick, with Walter Colds
borough attending as best man. Mr.
Burrage is established in Nevada. and
after a short wedding trip will take his
bride there to live.

WHY THE MAINS ARE NOT CLOSED.

Representatives of the Spring Valley Water Com
pany state that owing to broken mains throughout
the burned district fully half the water which the
company is bringing into the city is escaping and
Is running to waste through the sewers. In prac-
tically every one of the Easements within the
burned district are old connections with the mains
which the fire left open. So long as these remain
unrepaired the great waste Of water must continue
The water company has large force of men at
work closing the leaks far as it remains in their
power but so~long the Easements. sidewalks
and streets continue covered with debris lit
tie or no practical progress can be made But
the debris cannot be removed, without further com
phcating theinsurance problem until the insurance
companies grant permission Although many COM
panies have done this, others have not and those
that have not IN large measure nulify the effect
Of the permits of those that have. If the owner of
a given building, insured in say FIVE companies is
granted permission by four companies to clear his
lot while the fifth withholds it. the owners hands
are still tied
This is one of the minor but decidedly exasperat
ing phases Of the insurance situation. Everybody
recognizes that the city has no water to waste but
the mains cannot be closed until the lots are cleared
But owners Of property who are delaying the clear
ing Of their land for building purposes lest the
already complicated insurance situation become
more complicated not going to take the risk
that the mains be repaired. 1t is unfortunate that
insurance companies that have not already granted
permission to the debris cannot see their
way clear to relieve property-owners of a restric
tiOn that is seriously handicapping all the forces
engaged IN the work Of restoring the city

GEORGE K. FITCH.

George K. Fitch is dead 1t is more than passing
strange that he who had much to do with the
building up of San Francisco should part with us
at time when the city that his pride is lying
PROSTATE in its ashes George K Fitch though he
had passed the allotted three score years and ten
would have been foremost in assisting in putting
life into the sorely wounded San Francisco
His loss is that viii be felt by every good
citizen of the community and of the State at large
George K. Fitch was here in the pioneer days
and was associated with Loring Pickering in pub
fishing the Bulletin and The Call In later years
Mr. Fitch was assigned the work of editing the
affairs of The Call Theirs was strong journal
istc combination with intelligent direction and
honesty of purpose to maintain it. The newspapers
grew powerful in shaping the destiny Of San Fran
cisco, and IN correcting political abuses they be-
came the much-feared enemies of the wrongdoer
1t was at one time said that could be elected
in San Francisco if he were opposed by Mr. Fitch
as the editor enjoyed the utmost confidence of the
best elements of the community and they voted as
the columns of the Bulletin directed
When The Call and the Bulletin were sold soon
after Mr. Pckering's DEATH Mr.. Fitch retired to
private life but he never entirely released his hold
upon the good people who were influenced by his
wise teachings He was never in the open in polit-
cal issues, but he in a quiet way used his best en-
deavOr to guide his friends in the path of honest
government
In domestic life Mr. Fitch's character was ideal
He was patient, kind and considerate His tender
sohcitude for his friends was strongly marked in
his individuality. No one of the sons or daughters
of the pioneers whom the editor had known in the
days Of '49 ever made appeal In vain to him. His
advice and influence were always among his
friends richest assets.

TELLS OF THE NEEDS OF
REFUGEES AT THE PARK

To the Editor of The Call:
As one who ever since the memorable
18th of April last has tried to render
some service as a Red Cross worker
| among the sick and destitute, and has
seen much more than could be described
except by an abler pen, will you kindly
permit me to point out through the
medium of The Call one or two ways in
which some of the generous would-De
helpers in our midst might do a great
deal of good at very little cost?
On visit to the camps in Golden
Gate Park yesterday / discovered many
evidences of noble work being per-
formed. and among them one which par
| ticularly deserves word of praise This
is a large tent equipped as free read
/ ing-rOOm and circulating library, estab-
| lished by Mrs. Bainbridge under the
auspices of the Young Womens Chris
tian Temperance Union I was much
struck with the large number of people
who came there to read the papers and
to borrow books, and / learned, not with
surprise, that not a book or magazine
was missing. The one great need there,
however, is more books, and as I have
none myself l take this means of pass
ing the word along TO those who have
some TO spare and who would be only
too glad to help out. in this way. if but
reminded
In this tent, also. are several sewing
/
with the help of those in charge, their
own garments, but there is great lack
of material for wrappers. Plenty Of
willing hands. loving hearts. new sew
ing machines. etc, but no goods to sew.
Among all the tents / visited there was
not anywhere a murmur of complaint
though there were marks of suffering in
many face, and would like this let
ter to end without sting in the tail OF
it, but Just as / was leaving my atten-
ton was drawn TO something that was
not right. At the counter of the gen.
eral relief committees clothing bureau
were three young men instead of
women, distributing underclothing and
other garments to women and girls.
Those youths were old enough to smoke
cigars and strong enough for some
other kind of occupation. and IL Oc-
Cured to me, as it did to all who saw a.
that il the work were given to some OF
the women in the tents it would be
more in keeping with the principle OF
modesty and the eternal fitness OF
things"

A RECORD TO BE PROUD OF.

Last weeks real estate and building record
ought 10 be great encouragement to the citizens
Of San Francisco, and the news that an immense
feet Of steam and sailing vessels is listed for and
on its way to this port from the principal harbors
of the Atlantic and Europe ought to make the world
look with surprise.
Scores of leases Of San Francisco property were
recorded, and the sale of real estate was much
larger than expected under the circumstances
Building permits were numerous and these were not
confined to permits for small temporary structures
but in large part for permanent buildings
such those intended TO enlarge the plant of the
Western Iron Works. the proposed new buildings
for the Del Monte Milling Company, big marble
works plant, the Columbia ThesteT, and scores
of smaller building ventures.
Suburban property has held up well. Some
weeks ago il was predicted that lots in Menlo Park
San Nateo and other nearby towns would hold their
value but that there would be very little demand
for them for some years. The prediction was that
of false prophet, for in San Mateo tract alone
the sales last week were $4,000 in the aggregate
and the demand for Menlo Park lots has been ex-
ceptonally good
Seventy-six vessels of large tonnage were placed
on the list last week at Atlantic and European
ports for San Francisco From New York ten large
steamers are listed. with total of 10000 tons of
freight London is sending us three steamers with
SIX more waiting TO close charters. Philadelphia
has already 3429 tons at the berths with several
charters out for signing. -Four steamers at
Antwerp and Hamburg, with SIX listed for this
week by the Kosmos line These ports also have
large fleets of sailing vessels listed The cargOes of
this enormous feet Of ships are made up of material
for reconstrueting San Francisco and for rehabili-
tatng its big wholesale and retail stores the stocks
of which We're depleted by the fire.
What to do with this great feet of craft is
going TO be difficult matter for the Harbor Com
missoners to solve, every available bit Of dock
space viii be taken up by the eargo-carrers. The
Commissioners viii give the matter immediate at
tention and do everything in their power to cope
successfully with the situation. San Francisco s
record as port will again be in the ascendency,
and the tonnage totals for the year will be piled up
TO gratifying comparison with those Of the year
that will have passed.
In view Of the remarkable business activity of
the city which only two months ago was seething
mass Of flames, its people fleeing to the hills and
parks for safety from the spreading confagratio
and its fire department fighting a hopeless battle
against fate, it is wonder that the people of San
Francisco are day by day feeling renewed conf
dence IN their city.C No city in the world in so
short time. and under such distressing circum-
stances could have made such progress, and every
Californian ought to be proud of the spirit and de-
termination of the metropolis.

DETECTIVES ON CARS.

Frequent complaint is heard at police headquar-
ters of the activity of pickpockets who take advan-
tage of the crowded streetcars to nimbl relieve the
unsuspectng citizen of his cash and jewelry. No
better opportunity could possibly be offered the
light-fngered gentry than the congested condition
of Streetcar traffic in this city and until it is pos
sible for the United Railroads better conditions
which the company is trying to do with commend
able energy, would be well for Chief Of Detectives
Burnett to detail some of his plain clothes men for
duty on the cars The mere knowledge that plain
clothes men in large squads are watching the cars
and their passengers would be sufficient to cause the
pickpocketS to cease operating.
