day afternoon at the meeting called by
Mrs. Philip Verrill Mighels at O'Hara
& Livermores studio. in Sutter street,
TO consider the project of erecting a
statue to the pioneer mother, not only
OF California but of all lands.
1t was at speech made by Stephen
White in Chicago that I first conceived
the idea," said Mrs. Mighels. for as he
talked the face of my mother rose be-
fore me and L realized that something
TO perpetuate the memory of those
heroic women ought to be DONE"
Mrs Mighels has received a letter in
which the writer says that the pioneer
mother should be portrayed in heroic
stead of family group Mrs. Mighels
answered that the pioneer mother
when looking down on US in bronze or
marble. was to be a human being-a
ngure that should speak of his mother
TO every son for all time. And that is
why we want her in Market street, .
declared Mrs. Mighels She will re-
mind US that even in the mart of busi-
ness the nome is paramount and that
everything else comes second"
The project has been taken up by the
Pioneer Daughters and a ballad concert
is proposed by Miss Marie Withrow.
who has consented to arrange a pro-
gram of the old songs our mothers used
TO sing Mary of Argyle" Annie
Laurie" and rOft in the Silly Night

The stock in the building owned by
o. P. Downing & Co., 50-56 Main street,
was damaged to the extent of $4,000

had its origin in the supplies of chem
icals stored on the second floor.
The blaze occurred at time when
the streets were crowded with people,
and a slight panic ensued as the bat
talions of fire engines went dashing pell
NELL through the throngs. Smoke in
great masses was pouring out of the
windows of the second floor of the
building when the firemen reached the
scene, but within half an hour the
blaze had been stamped out
In breaking into the building Lieu
tenant Matlock of engine number 8 had
his right hand severely cut by falling
glass and had TO be removed to the har-
Dor emergency hospital. where Dr. Top
ham sewed up the wounds. In the
panic men and women climbed ladders.
swung themselves on passing streetcars
or fed in confusion into the few stores
that were open.
o. P Downing & Co., who were the
heaviest losers, occupied the basement.
first floor and part of the second. The
other tenants were Bolte. Baden & Co.,
printers and advertisers; Thomas j.

held his position on the simple strength
of his efficiency. During his long
tenure in office he influenced the prison
legislation of the state to consider
able extent.

assigned to duty at Folsom prison. He
was then transferred to San Quentin.
He has had charge of the books of the
prisons where he has been detailed and
would be intrusted with confidential
work for the wardens. He would fire.
quently carry on correspondence for
prisoners and would advise with the
officials of the prison on the matter of
appointing TRUSTEES and showing favors
to convicts.
From childhood Smith was a cripple
and moved about on crutches. He has
been married 20 years and leaves a
wife, son and a brother.
Smith came to this city Saturday and
took a. room at the Third street hotel.
He was found dead in his bed yesterday

made to entertain young and old. A
band from San Francisco provided
music.
A number of athletic contests had

shady side lines of the racing course.

.LANEL IS GIVEN
GREATER HONORS
Former French Consul Who
Married Miss Mckee Is
Minister to Uruguay
Wife of Diplomat a Great Fa-
vorite in Local Society
Circles

When Miss Amy May Mckee of Oak
land welded Etienne Lanel, French
consul general at New York, last June
it probably was far from her thoughts
that she was so soon to have thrust
upon her the honors that come to a
foreign minister's wife. yet news
reached San Francisco yesterday that
Lanel, who was well known in this city
by reason OF his representing the
French republic, had been chosen for
the high position of minister plenipo-
tentiary in the diplomatic service.
His first service as minister Will be
at Montevideo, Uruguay, and later he
probably Will be assigned to one of the
chief countries of Europe, when it is
not unlikely that he will be elevated
to the higher Office of ambassador.
AS Miss Amy Mckee, the wife of the
diplomat was a favorite in California
society, where her graces won for her
prominent position, so that she is well
qualified to preside over the many func-
tions and take part in the Official gay
eties which form so great part of the
life of diplomatic representative.
Lanel proved himself exceedingly
popular when in San Francisco, and
was one of the leading social favorites
in the cities around the bay.

IMPROVE CITY BY
WORKING SUNDAY
Women Aid Men in Construct
ing Needed Road in Twin
Peaks District

Working side by side with men,
with picks and shovels yesterday in
constructing a road from Twenty-ninth
street to Castro. For more than six
hours the women remained at their
laborious task of removing a deep
ledge. For several months the resi-
dents-in the vicinity of Castro and
Twenty ninth streets have been en-
deavoring to secure a roadway from
Twenty-ninth street to Castro. The
absence of the roadway made big sec
ton inaccessible and heightened the
danger from fire.
WORK HARD IN SUN
Believing that the safety of their
homes depended upon some action be-
ing taken by themselves, the men and
women held a meeting last week and
it was decided that road should be
made from Twenty ninth street to Cas-
tro Early yesterday morning the
women and men turned out. Some had
shovels, others had picks and still 9TH
ers used wheelbarrows. Drills and
sledges were used by the men to break
up part of the ledge. and the women
worked with picks, shovels and wheel
barrows in leveling the grades. The
road built yesterday is 20 feet in width
and fully 800 feet long. Working un-
der the hot rays of the sun was not
pleasant, but this did not deter the
women and men from completing the
task Of road building.
Nearly every one in the neighbor-
hood assisted in the work. Those of
the women who were unable to perform
the more arduous labor encouraged the
others by serving refreshments
A meeting of the Valley street i'm
provement association, which was
formed yesterday after the work on
the road had been compl pleted, will be
held Tuesday evening at Ats Valley
street. Next Sunday the men and
women will turn out to improve the
road in Valley street near Castro.
