COUNCIL
WAS A BIG
BLOSSOM
ALL BECAUSE A PETITION FOR
STREET IMPROVEMENTS WAS
FILED WITH ALL RENION-
STRANCEs ELIMINATED.


Th Getty dads sat up last night and
blossomed into one great pansy bed
of laughing faces, until the whole
council was one great contagious
collective and Individual smile. The
petition for bituhthic pavement on
Capital street from Court to Madison
was the cause And the council had
a smile coming fNr the petition con-
tanned the names OF more than two
thirds of the property owners, to be
exact, 1000 feet Of the 10000 abut-
ting properties, who waive right Of
remonstrance and ask that the work
be begun as soon Ss possible. There
was no back talk, no wrangling, no
soreness, no kicks, no nothing, only
one little simple plain petition that
fluttered down on the big table like
dove OF peace. AS the petition
covers 13 blocks, the hoodoo comes
off that number forever in the coun-
Gil chamber and the petition goes on
file done up in pink ribbons and for
get-me-nots. il Is an example that
should be followed in other sections
of the city.

San Francisco, May 17.-Halley' S
comet has now practically disap-

pear in the west just after sunset,
following the earth's passage
through the comets tail of May 1S.
On May 19, according to the state

comets head viii be 21 minutes af-

May 2S 1t will set three hours and
as minutes after sunset. The upper
end of the tail may be visible on
May 10, but as the moon will then
be nearly full, it is doubtful if it
can be seen, owing to the strong
moonlight. The head will probably
be the brightest on May 20, but the
moon will cut down the light of the
tail.

End of eclipse-9h., 56.6 m.
On May 23 the sun sets about Z

Francisco, and as the comet follows
the sun by hours and 46 m nutes,
the head will not set unit about II

May 23, everybody should watch for

matter himself, thus saving King
George considerable embarrassment
ment.
The monarchs who will ride in
the procession will be mounted on
horses and will lead the carriages.
The Qeustion of the position to
be given Roosevelt has caused wide
discussion. That the kings and
members of the royal families who
have come to London to attend the
funeral would insist on the preroga-
tives of their rank, and would de-
mand that adj the precedence ex-
tended royalty be observed, has been
certain.
BY right of royalty their places in
the procession are ahead of those
of royal blood.
The troublesome question of the
position that should be assigned
Roosevelt, representative of great
nation, yet not of royal blood and
not even oficially connected with
his government, is said to have
caused those in charge of arrange
ments considerable worry

rassment his presence was likely to
causeA announced today that he
would ride in one Of the carriages.
The former president also decided
that he will make no public appear

tion following it.

the body of King Edward from Buck
ingham palace, where it has lain in
state, to Westminster hall, where it
may be viewed by the gentry of
England, today resembled a glitter
ing dress rehearsal for the great
funeral pageant that will be held
Friday.
Numbers fail to give an idea of
the vast throng that lined the streets
for the funeral procession, of the

gathered to view the spectacle The
catafalque, cov,f'I with black ana

crown and scepter of England and
surrounded by draped English flags,
was started from the palace at 1880
O'clock, and arrived at Westminster
hall at noon.
AS the gun carriage, bearing the
coffin, moved slowly along company
after company of soldiers came to
present arms, while the colors slowly
dipped in silent salute. No sound
was heard from the crowded street,
save the rumbling of the heavy gun
carriage wheels, the clatter of horses
hoofs and the light noise of carriages
bearing the royal family of England,
and the heads of the British govern
ment.
Alexandra of Denmark, the queen
mother, widow of King Edward, rode
in the first carriage, accompanied by
her mother and the dowager empress
of Russia. King George v and mem
bers of the royal household followed.
Then came officials Of the army,

quarters staff, the board of admirals,

Colonel Theodore Roosevelt, COM

not in the procession today. Neither
was any of the nine visiting European
