The • Merchants* Association yesterday
addressed a communication to the Board
of Public Works in which it states that
the safety station. recently erected at the
Junction of Market, . Kearny and Geary
streets has met with the public approval
and demonstrated the necessity for more
of; such . conveniences at crowded Inter
sections along Market street. The com
munication also calls the attention of the
board to a resolution adopted by the
Board of Supervisors, which directs that
a similar station be erected at the Junc
tion of Market, Powell and Eddy streets.
The f. Merchants' Association earnestly
urges -that the Board of Public Works
'attend to the building of this new sta
tion as soon as the meeting of the G. A.

Possibly- Blake has it in sheer, classic
Eilliclsm. In his white baby dress, with,
its pale blue sash, his golden curls tied
up with baby blue and his infantile, foot
gear, Mr. Blake's six feet are an 4 un
limited "license for laughter." He lives
up to -his get-up.. bravely, with a joyful
grotesquerie that governs the whole per
formance. , ...
Bernard -as Miss Pinchin is excruciate
ing. His make-up stopped the perform
ance for several hilarious seconds. He
looks like the schoolmarrri our dreams
used to make after* we had 'played
hookey, in his sour black gown, vicious
collar and ill-tempered wig.- He acts.it,
too. with unctuous relish. •
Dill is another delight, as the naughty
Erminegarter. who never learns her les
sons. He takes off his beard, but leaves
on his accent for the occasion, and looks
too sweet for anything in his rosy wig,
organdie frock and ' striped * stockings.
His prowess with the "spit ball" aroused
a ruck of reminiscent-admiration.
Kolb as the serving lady, Specky, adds
yet another to the figures of fun and has,
perhaps, nevc,r been more^ comically cast.
Maude AmOer, too, . as the little prin
cess, Is fetching as usual, particularly
well cast, in fact. ¦ She has a charming
song, "Bug-a-Boo," that is most "prettily
chorused and set and tastefully sung. ;
There are many smaller parts, all well
taken, and a spirit and gayety about the
performance that is of the best one gets
at Fischer's. .The chorus,- dressed as
schoolgirls, looks Its prettiest,? sings its
best and adds largely to thclnterest.

enthusiastic appreciation of the scenic
sensation/ "Man's Enemy."; The, play
abounds in .thrilling situations and. the
interest never" lags for a second, during,
the four acts. The hero of this melo
drama .struggles against the hereditary
curse of drink, and "Man's Enemy" de
scribes the course; of the "downward
path" from step to step with a vividness
that is startlingly effective. Tho play
show3 drink as a source of tears, an
guish, poverty, .crime, murder, and as a.
contrast to sin and its- folly -the glory of
virtue is happily illustrated. The pathos
of the piece is relieved by an abundance
of genuine humor,' but the whole play is
certainly a moral sermon In action. In
dealing with the drink . evil, the author
has held- "the mirror, up' to jiature." The
glamour and agreeable colors. that often
surround . temptation are ' set forth, and
the retributive effects are portrayed with
a master hand. "Man's Enemy" is a big
hit and will be'a strong drawing card all
this . week. Herschel Mayall, as Harry
Stanton, gavo-'an impersonation that was
strongly realistic. Stanton "goes the
pace," weds an adventuress, is disowned
by his father, but. is 'saved on the brink
of the abyss by the love of a noble
woman. Eugenia Thais Lawton, as Grace
Lisle, the girl whose self-sacrificing love

ation of Stanton, was charmingly sympa
thetic, while Genevieve Kane portrayed
the adventuress In a strikingly clever
manner. Henry Shumer made a ¦ vUIaln

was excellent in a Hebrew character, and

Manager Newman of the Russ House
yesterday had his first experience with
the more serious side of managerial re
sponsibilities.. At an early hour in the
morning seven of -the house chamber
maids refused to proceed with their daily
duties unless an advance of salary was
forthcoming, and failing to get it they
walked out of the establishment. An
emergency corps ti composed mainly of
guests of the hotel and headed by Mrs.
Newman, was organized, and within an
hour's time the affairs of the Russ House
were running along smoothly.
Just about the time, however, that Man
ager Newman was congratulating himself
upon the ready manner in which he had
been able to overcome the difficulties that
had confronted him the lunch hour bad
arrived, and with it developed new and
more serious troubles for the new pro
prietor of the hostelry. The waiters had
decided that they should have more
wage3, and so informed Manager New
man. They would not take no for an an
swer, and five minutes after the noon
hour, while guests were pouring into the
dining-room for their meals, the waiters
were filing out through a rear entrance.
Again was \ the quick wit of the man
ager's wife brought into play. Marshaling
her husband, his brother and a score of
clerks, bell boys and porters into line,
she led them into the kitchen, whence
they were deployed out into the dining
room, and with words of encouragement
from- Mrs. Newman, and many of ths
guests the amateur waiters managed to
serve the hotel patrons, who were per
suaded to accept the inconvenience they
experienced In a good-natured way. In
the evening a new crew of waiters had
been secured and the day's troubles for
Newman were at an end.

The boy was carried to his home, a
block away, and left to the care of his
little sister. Her young mind grasped
the situation and the emergency spurred
her to action. Without hesitation she
started in search of medical aid. The
boy could not walk, for his foot pained
him and his ankle was already swelling.
With unusual foresight, gentleness and
devotion, she lifted her brother into a
toy wagon and started for the Park
Emergency Hospital, nearly a mile away.
It was a. peculiar party that halted be
fore the door of the hospital In an im
provised ambulance and requested the aid
of the doctor. After his wounds had been
dressed John and his sister departed for
home.
Trembling with fear, her girlish face
wet with tears of anxiety, little Kather
ine Walsh pulled the toy wagon contain
ing her injured brother John up to the
Park Emergency Hospital at 7:30 o'clock
last evening and sought the aid of the
physician in charge. '
Little John had been playing with-some
other children around the McAllister
street cars, and in some unaccountable
manner he fell in front of one that nearly
cost, him his life. The car was quickly
brought to a standstill and the crew,
aided by the passengers, pushed the ve

low from his perilous position. On ex
amination It was found that his leg had
bten. bruished and his ankle sprained.

D'Ancona held that the suppression of

is an attempt to conceal the true sanitary
condition In the city, but the Mayor dis

to an end.
"I have vetoed the appropriation for
the bulletin in the budget." said the
Mayor, "and I have refused to sign a de

cause I think the board haa other funds
it can use."
The board ordered that the dome of tEe
City Hall be illuminated on the night* of

of the matter of the publication of the

ELEVEN ULCERS
On One Limb Excruciating Palo
Physicians Little Value.
CURED BYCUTICURA
" I wish to say that my mother haa
been a rictlmto nlceis from yaricose
J yeins for thirty-five years. Eleven of
these terrible sores have existed at one
time on the limb affected. Excruciating;
pain and intense suffering was endured
with all sorts of remedies on trial and
nnmberless physician's calls and pre-
scriptions applied, but all practically
with but little benefit. However, at
last the remedial agent was foand In
Cuticnra Ointment which surely proved
its weight in sold, alleviating pain and
causing healing processes to commence
and a cure speedily effected.
"She has also used the Cuticnra
Ointment with marked benefit in ery-
sipelas of the face and eczema. The
Cuticnra Soap has also established a
record only as the best; cleansing, puri-
fying and healing In its nature, hav-
ing proved itself a most excellent and
valuable auxiliary to the Caticura Oint-
ment. I would remark that this tes-
timonial is entirely unsolicited, being a
voluntary contribution for humanity's
sake, and the commendation of the
Cutlcura Bemedles to the fullest con-
fidence, being satisfied of their purity,
genuineness and almost miracles

JUST 5 YEARS LATER
Mr. Horse Writes, March 4,1903,
that Mother Could Not Live
Without Cutlcura.
'• Your letter of the 28th February
received and will say'in reply that my
mother having used Caticnra Ointment
for twenty years or more, and havis?
used other remedies, has found that no
other remedy will ease the pain tnd
heal varicose ulcers like the Cuticur*
Remedies. Mother sajs she could not
live without them."

i No one ever deserts the Caticura
Soap, Ointment or Pills. Once used,
always used. In fact they have become
domesticated in every household they
have entered.
