SUPPLIES WILL BE FURNISHED THE HOSPITAL Supervisors Supply Needed Funds. SMALL DEFICIT WILL RESULT » . PERRAULT RESIGNS PROM THE FINANCE COMMITTEE. ♦ Police Patrol Drivers Discharged and the Department Will Here after Make Its Own Ap pointments. ♦ The Board of Supervisors took care of the half-starved inmates of the City and County Hospital and Posthousc yester day, and from now until the end of the year the half-thousand stricken ones In those Institutions will have the food and drugs they need to make their lot as mildly miserable as it may be. It took some hard iigurlng to find enough money with which to do it, and the plan adopted resulted in the resignation of Supervisor Perrault as chairman of the Finance Committee, but the board cut ! out ali political and other considerations j and faced the cold fact that the county's wards were' starving and provided the i wherewithal to keep them from It. Chairman Perrault offered a resolution which limited the hospital authorities to a monthly expenditure of $s^-3. He did not deny tho needs of tho county's sick 1., any means, but insisted that they n.ust be provided for at an expense of not more than 'that amount, as that was all there was left. Supervisor Attrtdge, chairman of the Hospital Committee, of fered a second resolution allowing the hospital its full $7500 per month and charging any deficiency that might result against statutory salaries connected with the institution, to be carried over Into the next half of the current fiscal year. w hen It could be paid. The contractors who were present de clared they would not furnish another dollar's worth of supplies if Perrault's resolution were adopted, but would ac cept the measure offered by Attridge. The board adopted Attrldge' a resolution forthwith, and Perrault promptly re signed. His resignation was not accepted, but on motion of Deasey was laid over a week. Attridge's resolution read as fol lows: Resolved, That the Hospital Committee. Su perintendent Physician of hospital and the hon orable Board of Health be and are hereby re spectfully requested to strictly scrutinize all expenditures for the City and County Hospital end to indorse no requisitions for supplies of any kind, character or description unless the same are urgently required for the care and treatment of patients, and to conduct the said Institution so that the necessary attention may le afforded the unfortunate sick. Resolved. That this board will allow and crier paid all demands to the extent of $7300 and no more for each of the months of Septem ber. October. November and December. ISS9, for the expenditure of the City and County Hos pital. Resolved, That this board will provide the means from the appropriation for urgent nec-s --sity purposes, if the same should create a defi ciency, and the amount expended will be at the expense of statutory officers' salaries, which salaries must be paid out of the, tunds of the succeeding year. Resolved. That all the bills for goods, wares and supplies furnished under contracts entered Into by this board will be allowed and ordered paid and the Finance Committee is hereby empowered and required to approve all of said demands, the contractors furnishing supplies agreeing to continue and comply with their contracts under such conditions. Supervisor Holland followed the load of Attrfdge by introducing and righting through to passage two much needed re forms that have bobbed up and been knocked in the head every year since their necessity became apparent. He suc ceeded in winning for the Police Depart ment the right to appoint its own patrol drivers and exercise all authority ovet them, ard he also succeeded in having adopted a resolution prohibiting the stringing of unsightly campaign and other banners across the prominent streets of the city. His police resolution provided that In stead of drivers of patrol wagons beina appointed by th*> Board of Supervisors a* under the present order, the Police De partment should be given permission tc appoint fourteen more patrolmen who LITTLE ROSE WILL STUDY IN PARIS y• v • *■ T ITTLE ROSE LENCHNER, who made such a hit at the Masonic festi- *■ i Q I val that was held In this city, and who afterward appeared at the A' 1 ,). f California Theater with the "Brownies," left for Paris yesterday, ac- X I a | companled by her mother, and will take a two years' course In toe aI ' V "^""V.ancing at the best Parisian stage dancing schools.

Nicklet, 13 years of age, and Frank Walsh, two years older, started out Satur day nisrht on a career of daring crime, after supplying themselves with money stolen from Nicklet's mother to furnish themselves with the necessary material to carry out their bold designs. They are now in th» City Prison booked for a public In stitution and are bemoaning their fate. Saturday night while Mrs. Nicklet was asleep her young hopeful stol from her dress a purse which contained $24.25. They live a; 2321 Bryant ave nue Walsh's people live in the neigh borhood and when Nicklet stole out of the house with the purse he was met by Walsh and they conspired to have some fun, as they express it. in hold ing up soldiers at the Presidio after they had been paid off by the Govern ment. They slept under the stairs hading up to Corbett's butcher shop. Twmity-thlrd and Bryant streets, and early yesterday morning, after dividing the money in the purse, went down and purchased a revolver and two boxes of cartridges in a hardware store on Fourth street. Their next purchase was a pair of overalls each and a pair would act as drivers, but who would be directly accountable to the department. To back up his resolution, he called in Captain of Police Wittman; who said that under the present arrangement neither the department nor any one else had au thority over the patrol drivers, and that as a result they were constantly turning up drunk, or refusing to do as they were to.ii, or using vulgar language, or some other of a dozen things for which a po liceman would lose his star. Captain Wittman not only made his charges, but mentioned specific cases to prove them, and when the matter came to a vote the resolution was promptly passed. A sec ond resolution, to take effect November 1, discharged every driver r.i>w In the ser vice, leaving the field clear for the de partment appointees. A big delegation of business men and taxpayers from the Mission came in to request a place in the bond election. They want a two-block park made of that dis trict bounded by Dolores, Twenty-first, Twenty-second and Churcn streets, and want the money raised In the same way that panhandle funds are to be realized. They brought a resolution, placing their project with the panhandle scheme, as a matter to be settled and provided for in the bond election, and there being no word In opposition when Supervisor Lackmann moved that their request be granted, the Mission Park was included in the issue. It is figured that the land in volved will not cost over $300,000, and an appraisement will be ordered next week. Baterr.an Eras, were granted another week in which to complete the Hall of Justice, and upon motion of Lackmann the position of Inspector of City and County Supplies was created, the salary to be $1-5 j per month. . '-..- - - — Gas Inspector Tupper's report showed that he had done away with 23S more street lamps, which added to the eighty two of last week will result In a monthly saving of $SOO.

Then they bought two knives with long blades and a nickel-plated watch and chain. They were afraid to go into a restaurant so they bought a large supply of peanuts to keep them from starving. Willie also bought a necktie. When Mrs. Nicklet searched her dress yesterday morning she discov ered the loss of her purse and as Willie had not been home all night and hav ing been sent at one time to the Boys' and Girls' Aid Society she came to the conclusion that be was the thief. She communicated with Walsh's parents and found that he also had not been home ail night.

''.V' : CAMPAIGN IS OPENING ON PARTY LINES Phelan's Utterances on the Question. — • — _ METROPOLITAN HALL SPEECH m RECORD PRESERVED EOR SPE CIAL USE AT THIS TIME. : • On August 4 of This Year the Mayor Was a Red-Hot Democratic Parti san. The Democrats are alarmed at the sug- j gestion that party lilies should be drawn in this municipal campaign. A subsidized evening journal ls making a ridiculous show of Itself In demanding that Repub licans should support Mayor Phelan. The Mayor himself is so Indignant that he de nounces Horace Davis as a traitor to the charter for encouraging Republicans to maintain party lines in this contest. Voters of San Francisco— Republicans as well as Democrats— remember that there was a big mass-meeting at Metro politan Hall on the evening of August 4— four days prior to the primary election- Mayor Phelan' Was advertised to speak and The Call fancied that it would be a : good plan to have an accomplished sten ographer take down word for word every thing that the voluble young statesman might utter on that occasion. A record I ls something that ought to be kept. and a newspaper office is a good place to keep It. Having kept the record. The Call is In position to show positively that Mayor Phelan is the man who established party lines In this municipal campaign, and his evening paper may apologize for him as it gets ready, if he does not anticipate the amend and apologize for himself. In the course of his speech at Metropolitan Hall Mayor Phelan said: "The Democrats have set the pace In this town to build it up and make it what it should be. They have given the policy to the city. We went to Sacramento, you remember, in order to get party control." » • « » * » * "Whatever may have been the faults of the Committee of One Hundred, I have a very great affection for it, because, while it did not represent all the districts of the city it was composed of men who tried to do right and whose acts were in part in dorsed by the people of this city; and they gave us that policy and that plat form. But now there Is no way of going, even If we desired to do so, to the htate Central Committee or to the Sacramento convention and asking for authority to sneak in the name of the Democratic party. We have to go to the polls, and we have to get control of the conven tion. "We have to get control of the con vention, I say — control is a very harsh word — in the interest of good . government and decency; not that * any man should have control to con fer favors on his friends, but control in order that that policy may be per petuated and the Democratic party made the instrument and the agency of good government in San Fran cisco. • •••••* "Now. that ballot law adopted by the last Legislature magnifies enor mously the. importance of party con- ] ventions. We all have to be party men now. We have to carry out re- j forms within the party. We all have to be party politicians; we can't be independent and go before the people and say we will do thus and so. We have to get behind the party and make it the instrument and the agency of our work." The alarm In Democratic political circles Is caused by a close analysis of the vote by which Mayor Phelan defeated Charles L. Patton for Mayor. Trie analysis shows that if the regularly accredited Repub lican precincts had given Mr. Patton the party vote PI • ail would have been de feated. The present . signs point to the conclusion that Horace Davis will get the full Republican vote of every precinct in San Francisco. Since the last election Phelan has pub licly proclaimed: "WE ALL HAVE TO BE PARTY POLITICIANS: WE CAN'T BE INDEPENDENT AND GO BEFORE THE PEOPLE AND SAY WE WILL DO TH("S AND SO. WE HAVE TO GET BEHIND THE PARTY." Horace Davis is .-lean, capable and true. Under his leadership the Republican party can be the instrument and agency of good government in San Francisco. Jasper McDonald, chairman of the Demo- committee, has not complet ed the selection of forty members at large of the Democratic County Commit tee. He may announce the names to morrow. KOSTER DECLINES. Pressure of Business Affairs Causes His Refusal. John L. Koster, who was nominated for Supervisor by the Republican convention, sent a communication yesterday to Chair man Kellogg In which he stated that on account of the pressure of his private business affairs it would be necessary tor him to decline the nomination. While In full sympathy, with the ticket as nom inated and with the principles incorporat ed in the platform as adopted, Mr. Kos ter stated that it was with deep regret that he was obliged to take the step. In discussing the declination at his res idence last night Mr. Koster said: "I have declined the nomination with which the Republican convention honored me simply and solely because my private business will not allow me to devote the necessary time to the duties of the office should I be elected to it. I have exten sive ranching interests near San Jose and at other points in the southern part of the State and I am obliged to visit them constantly, often finding it necessary to spend weeks at a time in adjusting diffi culties that continually arise. "In fact, it was while I was away on one of these trips that my name was placed on the ticket. It was done with out my knowledge and I am sorry that circumstances are such that I must de cline a nomination which I consider a high honor and one not to be despised. That is all there Is to my declination. "I understand that rumors were cur rent on the street yesterday that I had declined because I was not in accord w...i the principles of the Republican party or some of its nominees. I wish to deny this in emphatic terms. I am anxious for the complete success of the Republi can ticket as nominated and will work as hard In its behalf as my limited time will permit. Horace Davis I regard as the highest type of manhood and believe he has the confidence and respect of this community. He is worthily entitled to the suffrages of all good citizens and I am sure he will make a Mayor of whom we can all feel proud. I regard the tick et as being first-class in every Individual particular and shall certainly give it ray undivided support." An effort will be made to-day by a com mittee to induce Mr. Koster to alter his determination and it is expected that he may yet do so. When asked last night whether ho would comply with a request, to withdraw his declination Mr. Koster said: "While I would appreciate such a re quest as a great honor, still I must reit erate my former statement, namely, that I am unable to give the time which I consider a public official should conscien tiously devote to the proper fulfillment of the duties for which he has been chosen. If I had rhe time I would gladly make an active canvass for the office." HORACE DAVIS INDORSED. South Park Improvement Club to Carefully Scan Supervisorial Candidates. Only such candidates as have been nom inated for the office of Supervisors as may he found to go through the crucial test of the members of the South Park Improvement Club mi receive the votes of that organization. At a meeting held last night at 930 Howard street, over which M. J. Mcßride pre sided, a motion was made by E. Barry that a committee of five be appointed to cull from the nominees such material as may be suitable to the beat Interests of the city and its taxpayers. This commit tee consists of E. Barry, J. Barnes, S. H. Williams, P. F. Benson and J. Kennedy, with Chairman Mcßride added. Chairman Mcßride spoke at consider able length on th.- ability of Horace 'avis for the office of Mayor, and added what Mr. Davis had done for San Francisco while in Congress regarding the exclusion of the Chinese from the United Slates. He said he was one of the vice presidents at a meeting in Piatt's Hall over which the late W. C. Coleman had presided, at the time of the anti-Chinese agitation in this city. Filipinos to Return. The sixty-eight Filipinos admitted here to exhibit at the Mechanics' Fair have : been ordered deported by the next trans port that sails for Manila.

He has requested General Shatter to send them back by the first transport that sails for the Philippines. , A Happy Meeting.

Every one knows of the fatal results I which follow the stoppage of the drains j in a house. Queen Victoria's husband, the Prince Consort, died from poisonous germs. ; which were generated in the palace by | the stoppage of the drains. The kidneys, among their many j other functions, act as drains to the i body. Through them the blood passes ', to be purified, leaving behind a mass j of effete matter, which it is their duty j to eject from the system. "When, however, the kidneys become i congested and all clogged up, this ref- i use matter accumulates and becomes | an active poison, and in the course of time infects ; the whole man, and event- ually, if the cause is not removed, it occasions sudden death, the patient I drowning, as it were, in his own secre- | tions. The symptoms which nature puts forth like danger signals to tell us that the kidneys no longer do their duty are ; too numerous to set forth. Nearly always women's peculiar ail- ments in their more aggravated and protracted forms are traceable to this i source, and rheumatism, in all its va- j ried phases; while pneumonia and ] Bright's disease are but the culmina- ! tion of an organic trouble, which, had |it been treated organically and not | symptomatically, could not possibly j have had any such fatal termination. Coughs and colds, strange as it may i seem, are oftentimes symptoms of trou- ble in the kidneys. What must be done, then, in these j cases? It is surely unwj^e to treat symp- -1 toms, when we can at once heal the i organ from whence the symptoms rise. Let us then at once go to the root i of the trouble and heal the kidneys. There is a remedy, known all the j world over, that will strengthen them, so that they can perform their func- tions; feeding them and cleansing them : in such a marvelous manner that the patient immediately feels the good : work that is going oh, and in a few ; weeks is able to join the ranks of the many thousands who gratefully ac- ; knowledge that they owe health and strength, and sometimes life itself, to ; this unfailing remedy, "Warner's Safe Cure.
