NEWER AND BETTER
 CITY 0f FRISCO 1racss Of the Earthquake and the Disastrous fhs ire Being Grad-
 lally 0bltDrated. MODEL SYSTEM 0f PARKS New Driveways and Public Places Which Will Make the Western
 City a Place of Beauty.

Chicago, May 2e.-"within six months the new San Francisco, will It's wide driveways and handsome buildings, will be well advanced" :" said Architect Daniel H, Burnham last night. Tn years time 1t will not be easy to find trace of the de- vastation left by the earthquake
 Mir Burnham has just returned from San Francisco. He had been called there by the committee of citi- zens that had been instrumental In inducing him two years before to pre- pare plans for a model system of driveways, parks, and public places. Former Mayor Phelan was chairman of the committee.
 "The plans,' said MT Burnha1n, "were adopted in their entirety at a meeting on Monday. The principal talk in San Francisco at the present time Is rebuilding. The pride of the citizens appears to have been touched by the disaster and even the poorer people who lost their homes are pre- parlng to Duild again on more SUD- stantial and artistic scale.
 My views were chiefly desired along the line of notifications or cx- tensions in the plans that suggested for the streets and parks. l was ask. ed for suggestions also as to public buildings, and recommended that they all be made strictly fireproof.
 "Tne new city will radiate from the city hall and that locality. One of the beneficial effects of the earthquake was the destruction of the old city hall, an incongruous structure that could not be made to conform to any possible system of plans for the beau tification of the city.
 San Francisco of the future will be the most beautiful city on the con tinent with the possible exception of Washington"

N. E. O. P. Social Evening.

No better proof of the remarkable interest being taken by \. E. o. P. members can be asked than the meet ing which was held last evening in Mechanics hall by A. Von Humboldt lodge. The attendance for such a warm night was unparalleled. many of the older members being present and telling of the steady advance ment being made. An opportunity was given to let them urge all to con- sider the advisability of telling all to those who were unfortunate in not being present. At the next meeting, June &. their new deputy. Wallace Smith of Bridgeport. will be present to make his first official visit. A very interesting hour of social session was enjoyed in the nature of music, songs and dancing.

APAcHEs SUN woRsHIPERs.
Orb of Day Always Besought for fa- vor Upon Undertaking Any
 Expedition.

The Apaches. like many other North American tribes. are sun-vorshipers. Their myths tell them that the srn Is the all-powerful deity and to 1t all applications are addressed. On going into battle. planting corn, or on start. ing on cattle-stealing expedition. the sun is asked to look with favor. That they believe in future world. writes E. s. Curtis. In Scribner's, is proved by their custom of killing horses aud burying them. as well as their cloth- ing and implements of the chase, for life in the future world. Not only the medicine men but the people claim to hold communion with the Chindi or spirits of their ancestors. They are also great believers in omens. tsIis- mans and amulets. but are very con- servative and it Is with dificuIty that ons gets them to discuss thines super natural. They will not talk about Cod among their own people with familiar ity. and scarcely at all with the white man

'DEF| OF h|AS0NS Want Conference Be-
 fore Monday. OR WILL GO ON STRIKE
Communication Sent to Master BuiId- i, CTS This Morning 1.-The Masons'
 Union Will Hold a Meeing to
 Discuss the Affair tonight

The town is full of strike talk to- day and unless some powerful agen- cies get to work right away some thing will happen Monday which will tie up all the buildings in Waterbury for a time and probably create a con- dition of things which will be very harmful not only to working people but to the whole community. AL though this was expected in some quarters, still many hoped that the difference would be adjusted, but 1t doesn't look that way, though, to be sure nobody knows what may turn up between now and next Monday. Yesterday the union men made an effort to meet the bosses and with that end in view the vice-president of the international union visited Waterbury, but from all accounts his mission was of no avail and 1t has now been decided to call of all union men unless a conference is held. The following communication delivered to the master builders to-day is self ex- planatory:
 Waterbury, May 26, 1906. To the Master Masons, City.
 Gentlemen-The vice-president of our international union, George Thornton, visited this city on Friday. the 25th, and interviewed some of the master masons with a view of getting a committee from your asso- citation to meet committee from the Masons, Carpenters and Plasterers' unions for the purpose of talking over the situation. The gentleman states that he has received no encourage ment from any of the members of your association and has instructed me to notify you that If conference Is not granted before Monday morn- ing, May 28, all men employed by members of the Interstate Builders association will refuse to work on that date. Signed. <
 JOSEPH HAYDEN, Sec'y.@
 One of the bosses told Democrat reporter that the master builders have decided to conduct open shops and that he had no Idea that they would consider any proposition to the contrary. If neither side gives in 1t will mean the throwing out of em- ployment, temporarily at least. of several hundred men. not only trades men, but large numbers of common laborers. During the last three months Building Inspector A. I. Chat field issued 21s building permits. These with work started prior to that time make up an unusually large number of buildings in course of construction and in contemplation, so that 1t is easy to see what tie- up means to everybody.

This year has been an exception and the board CTS have stayed around to help on the farm during the summer months.
