SHELL FROM SUNKEN
MAINE DOES DAMAGE

NEW YORK, August 24.-Three
children were injured in Jersey City
Thursday afternoon by the explosion
of a-quarter-pound shrapnel
shell which was recovered from the
battleship Maine at the bottom of Ha-
vana harbor. The police didn't learn
of the accident until last night.
The shell was presented to Eden
Kenny of 161 Boyd avenue by a sailor
friend and had been kicked around the
yard by children for several years
Mr.. Kenny's eleven-year-old son
Eden showed the curiosity to a group
of children and dropped it on the side
walk to see how hard it was. The
shell exploded.
Eiden's right hand was blown off
and his left side and hip were lacerat-
ed. Grace Ruddick, twelve years old,
of 15S Boyd avenue, was burned on the
left arm and her right side was in
jured. Six-year-old George O'Rourke
of 159 Boyd avenue came out of the
Commandment with a damaged left
thumb. The Kenny boy is in the City
Hospital.
Windows on a house at 165 Boyd
avenue were shattered by the ex-
ploSion.

| the limits of the provision made for
it; and for such population as may
come, the metropolis will have no
mean competitors in Oakland, Ala
media and Berkeley. Those cities are
growing fast; and viewed from the
San Francisco side of the bay, their
houses would seem to have doubled
in number. There is one continuous
city along the eastern shore for
miles and the high ground has been
invaded by homes-ground that I re-
call as pastoral land eight or nine
years ago.
1t may be taken for granted that
business will return to it's old haunts.
The aspect of things on the new bust
ness streets, Fillmore and Van Ness,
is temporary. No one seems to have
built "for keeps while downtown
steel-cage sky-scrapers and vast piles
of REINFORCED concrete, indicate per-
manence. Chinatown is rebuilding in
the old place and the wholesale peo-
pie naturally keep near the wharves
and railway ferries. The great incen-
tive' however, to the property-own-
ers who are SO busy in downtown con-
struction is that of restoring and
maintaining values. The man who
had 100000 in downtown building
site before the fire can only get his
money back by restoring and improv-
ing upon the old conditions there.

given with wages, are lower. A year
ago or less, when bricklayers began
getting eight dollars a day, the old
South of Market crowd, as I have been
told, began to appear in the fashion,
able restaurants and jewelry stores.
The horny hand raised a silver knife
| to an untutored mouth and passed over
unaccustomed gold in return for the
| inappropriate diamond. Formerly the
markets provided chuck steaks and
legs of mutton for the laboring classes;
but one of the largest of them had
to put 100000 pounds of such provender
| into cold storage because there was
no one to buy it. Your workingman,
with healthy appetite and a pocket
| full of money, wanted Chateaubriand
| steak and was partial to prime rib
| roast and canvasback duck. And he
| wanted to be served in style. The
silver and cut-glass of Marchands and
The Poodle Dog were none too fine
for him and he startled the voluptu-
aries at Taits by an invasion like that
of the French Jacobins in the DAYS
when the mobiles had to fly for their
lives. He lives more simply now, as
advancing rents and retail prices give
him pause. His hair cut costs him
'thirty-ive cents and while he can still
shave for fifteen he must pay extra |
for a hot towel and for a razor on the |
neck. His nickel glass of beer, once |
so generous, has dwindled to a. taste |
and he must pay a dime for a fair |
drink. Prices in the popular eating |
houses have gone up a third. Gro |
ceries are higher and the huckster no |
longer gives soup vegetables free with |
an order for the usual supplies. If |
the laborer rides in the street cars
while the strike is on and his union
finds it out he is fined $25 or $50. He
must either walk and be 'docked'' If |
late, or ride in the pathetic trucks
labeled San Francisco Has One Cal
houn Too Much"-trucks that charge |
dime fares and provide springless
board seats. And every week the la
borers that work must put up $50, 900
for the laborers who have erased |
themselves from the Calhoun payroll |
TO make room for newcomers. No |
wonder the boulevardier and his fair
Imogene again have the French |
restaurants to themselves.

SAN FRANCISCO POLITICS.

It looks as if the grated labor gov
eminent would have control of the
city for some years to come. The next
Mayor may be Jerry Oman, a creature
of SchmitZ. Labor interests predomi-
nate now and will while the city is re-
building on a great scale. Thousands
of reform voters have moved across
the bay and will register there, ali of
which is pleasing to the grafters. And
to make the outlook worse. the public
upon whom the reform movement de-
ponds is firing of the graft prosecu-
tions. It's the old story of the pendu-
lum swinging the other way. One
hears that Heney is a bloodhound"
that the press exposures of municipal
iniquity are hurting the town." and
that so much harping on one string
is "monotonous." At the theater the
other night where the play was a
melodrama of baffled civic iniquity,
I observed that 1.-The boss in defend
ing graft by invidious remarks about
United States senators who had made
it respectable, got about as much ap-
plause as did the reform mayor" who
cited the examples of Folk, La Fol-
lette and Roosevelt to the contrary.
Prophecy is a thankless task, but if
San Francisco is not worse off under
the eventual successors of Schmitz and
Ruef than it was under those pre-
daceous worthless, I miss what seems
to be fair guess. Just now there is
an ad interim administration which is
clean and useful-but wait until it gets
the verdict of the polls.

REDS ARE SURE CIVILIZED
Big Indian Heap Fooled His Wife After
Lovely Spree.

NORTH YAKIMA, Feb. IA large
market yesterday and asked to see
some rabbits. The clerk was so sur
prised at the request, more especially
as the Indian seemed 10 De reasonably
considerable pride. The savage looked
the pile of fur and fluff over and fin
ally selected two large specimens, and
asked how much. The market man
the prairies dug up the coin.
While the market man was doing the
game up he got control of himself
again, and finally .plucked up courage
to ask the brave why he was spending
good money for rabbits in the market,
when there were plenty to be had for
little patience and work out on the
reservation. Not that the market man
objected to selling them at all, only he
was merely curious.
The Indian smiled an Apache like
smile. Huh! You no savvy," he said.
ME been out with boys, have one he'll
IVA time. Now go home and tell wife
been hunt. show rabbits. she feel good.
Me wise"
The market man laughed shanefac-
eddy. Had civilization come to this. and
had the noble aborigine sunk to such
tricks? Verify. he was fast taking up
the white mans ways.
