San Francisco, JAN 4--The coming or 1903
finds San Francisco with more Of its burned
district rebuilt than expected by the most
sanguine but at the time the movement
Of the merchants and other business men To-
their old quarters has been far slower than was
expected. Il Will be years before the large
drygoods houses will move from Van Ness ave-
nue. 10 Grant avenue, which promises to be tho
great shopping thoroughfare Of the future San
Francisco The buildings for several Of thess
stores have not yet been begun
The steel frame of the eleven story Phelan
Office building, in Market street. is up and ths
work will be rushed so that IL will be ready
for occupancy by the first of next year. Mean
whiles many large office buildings, new and re-
habilitated. are nearly ready. including the
Humboldt Bank, in Market street, and the Mills
Building, in Montgomery street Only person
who knows San Francisco well can appreciate
the extent of the building in the lower business
district.
The only quarter which is not being rebuile
is that bounded by Stockton. Larkin. Geary and
Pile streets In this district the fire ordinances
prescribe brick or stone buildings. while at tho
present time only apartment houses or hotels
will return interest investments in this quar-
ter. For residences or fathouses the cost is
prohibitive.

GOV. ELECT JOE BROWN
TO BE IN AMERICUS
Some Day Next Week Will
be Selected.

Hon Joseph NJ Brown, Georgia s
next Governor, will be in Americas
next week. The date has not been
fixed, but there will be two days noti-
fication of the event.
This was determined upon in a tel
ephone conversation last evening be-
tween Col. f. A. Nisbet, County Chair
man and Mr. Brown, who was at Cor
dele.
Details as to the proposed visit are
lacking. the conversation being de-
void of any further information, which
was neither asked nor given. Whether
Mr. Brown will make "a speech, or
what time he will arrive or depart are
not known. However, it is certain
that a reception will be rendered him,
and it is considered likely that there
will be a short speech from Mr.
Brown, especially if he is here at
night.
While in the city Mr. Brown will be
the guest of the Sumter County DEM
ocratic Club, which will have charge
of all of the details of the occasion
Members of the club are much graf
flied at the coming of Mr. Brown A
number of messages had been sent to
him at Valdosta on Monday, and this
no doubt had weight in the decision

as to the quality and price of dry
goods, dresses, furniture and house,

years old of Waterloo, ILL.,, suddenly
became insane. In the observation
ward at the City Hospital he mag
ines that he is still shopping and he
argues with imaginary clerks.
Kunster came from Waterloo with
his daughter, Mrs Carrie Schmidt. She
came to buy supplies for her home
and a new fall outfit for herself. When
she asked her father to accompany
her on a tour of the stores, he de-
murred, but she insisted and he at
last consented. Mrs. Schmidt went
after the early morning bargains. Ali
through the forenoon she hurried up
and down the aisles of the big down
town establishments, with her father
following her They were in several
bargain rushes and Kunster was be-
wildered by the crowds.

Robinson CrusOe is Citizen.

Boston, Mass, Sept 22.-Judge
Dodge, of the United Stares district
court, was at his desk yesterday when
William H. Fraser, secretary of the
Seamen's Union, and the Rev. George

in conducting a Weatherbeaten sail

sailor laid his papers before the judge
who glanced at the name, then look
ed again, and then smiled.

Robinson Crusoe?" said he?
Eyes, sir. Robinson Crusoe."
Further questioning brought out
that he was born in Wardo, Norway,
"A years ago and that he is a mariner,
engaged mostly on coastwise vessels
or United States shores. He first
came to this country in 1897, landing
in New York on the ship Jason, al
though not the Jason of the Golden
Fleece expedition. Crusoe did not
know how he got his name, as he
had had it so long, but he was called
Andorf in Norway.
Inspector Moore asked him var
ious questions, to which he answered
diffidently He thought President
Roosevelt had been a farmer in the
country and~that if he died somebody
else" would be President. The judge
had to admit the correctness of the
reply. and Robinson Crusoe is now a
full-fledged citizen of the United
States.

TO HELP THE ORPHANS
AN APPEAL Is MADE
October 3 is Day Appointed
Therefor.

Letters have been received in Am
ericus presenting an appeal to the
general public to set aside October
as work day" for the Georgia
Baptist orphans home These are
sent out by the committee on main
tenance and support, through au-
thority of the trustees of the home.
There are one hundred and fifty
children in the home, which is locat-
ed at Hapeville, Ga, and as these
children are by no means confined to
Baptist parentage the trustees feel
that the public is concerned in the
necessities which are now bearing
heavily upon the work, and they
solicit individual contributions, both
small and large, for the daily feed
ing, clothing, housing and teaching of
the orphan children Americus peo-
pie, regardless of denomination, will
respond to this call in behalf of help
less little ones.

COURT ORDERS
BOYS ARM OFF
Father RebeIIed, But Life
Was Saved.

Chicago, H. Sept 23.-Legally and
surgically the right arm of little Joe
Bulanda was amputated yesterday
despite his own wishes and those of
his father.
Judge Tuthill, sitting in the Juve-
nile Court ordered the arm amputat-
ed upon the written opinion of two
surgeons that if the boys arm were
not removed that he would die The
court took a broad view of the case
and declared that the state was the
custodian of the child and that it was
the duty of the state to look after his
welfare.
The boys arm was amputated yes
terday morning, despite his pleadings
and feeble physical resistance 1t is
likely that damage suit will be
started by the father, a Polish labor
er, who declares that his son will be
worse than useless with only one arm
and that there was no necessity for
the operation
TITS all for the best, Joe We want
to save your life, and there are a
number of people in Chicago who
will see that you are given work that
you can do" said Dr. H. B. Kings
bury, who administered the ether
The boy soon succumbed to the drug
and the amputation was performed.
The legal question which has arisen
over the amputation was seriously dis
cussed yesterday by Judge Tuthill
who ordered the operation performed
THE position | took was one which
will be sustained by any court or any
jury" said Judge Tuthill. "The Juve-
nile Court law is very broad, and un-
der it the court can take children
away from their parents when it is
found that the parents are not taking
proper care of their offspring
I'm this case the boy was a ward
of the Juvenile Court. He had been
neglected at home and allowed to
run wild. He is the only child and
the mother is dead. When his father
objected to the operation there was
only one thing for the court to do,
and that was to step in and see that
the child had the proper medical
attention. Gangrene had set in on
the boys arm, and two physicians gave
written statements to this court that
the boy would die unless the arm
was removed

FIRST OF THE RACES

Yesterday.

Perfect weather marked the OPEN

on the program and cheered as the
steeds came down the track like vet
Grams of the turf
A splendid success in every partic-
ular was the occasion, and that today
will be equally so.
Visitors from radius of fifty miles
came to the races, while hundreds of
Americus people were present to wit
ness the opening of the series and
render the occasion the success it
richly deserved to be.
The weather was simply ideal; the
horses We're in perfect trim; the man.

an exceedingly pretty race, the horses
doing beautiful work as they speeded
round the track
The third event was perhaps the
finest on the program. This was
2:30 trot, one mile heat, best three in
five, with Zeta L, Roy Wilkes, Silent
Dream and Dandy as the four con-
testants, and evenly matched the
bunch seemed.
The first heat ended dead" between
Roy Wilkes and Silent Dream In

an easy winner. The third was won
by Zeta l., while Dandy took the
fourth heat. At this point darkness

the first on the program this after
noon, run at 2:3O sharp
Silent Dream is a Macon horse and
made a fine showing Other horses ar
rived last night for the races this af-

among the finest of the three days
series.
Another enthusiastic crowd will see
the speed of the steeds at the park
today.
