PUNK AND PAGANS.
Turning a New Leaf inChinatown.
THE NEW YEAR HAS DAWNED
How the Truly Good Observe the Day
and Cast Out Their WickedDevils.
T midnight last nigh
relentless war was de-clared against the
devils in Chinatown,
and by morning a gen-eral stampede tookplace. Itwas too muchfor his satanic maj-esty's subjects. They
took to the hills withtiieir pigtails and therear seam of theirjackets at right ancles.
wbile the god-tenders iv the josshouses piled
on mere punk.PuDk Is all potent in prevailing upon an
undesirable devil to change his place ofbusiness, though whya devil should prefer
Chinatown to his own native element issomething which even the best informedheathen cannot explain.
Yet he is supDosed to infest the place inlarge numbers, and the annual casting outfestival, withappropriate fireworks, is nowin fullblast.
Twelve o'clock was the hour set for thedevils to say farewell, but some time previ-
ous to thi« tearful episode a few bunches offirecrackers were set off in barrels just tolet the intruders know what was in storefor them if they remained.
About this time large illustrated lanterns,
made of fish intestines wen* lighted andhung from the balconies to illuminate thepathway to the suburbs.
As a rule the devils heeded this admoni-tion and created a remoteness betweenthemselves and that vicinity. Lanternsslaved and blinked in nil direction*. Theyvaried In size from the dimensions of a cus-pidor to a barrel and shed a brilliant lightover the preliminaries.Inthe rookeries behind the lights all was
bustle and confusion and the faces of thehappy heathen were cracked open withjoy.
Their Fourth of July, Christmas. Wash-ington's Birthday, New Years and Laborday all rolled into one had arrived. Thelarders were stored with all the delicaciesof the season, there was plenty of opium in
the bouse, best clothes were hauled outfrom under the shelves on which the wear-ers slept and neighbors stuck their heads inthrough windows or cracks in the wall andexchange ijoyous greetings.
"Same to you and many of them," repliedthe beaming sons ot Confucius in Courteousaccents, after which they set off. more ex-plosives.
Shortly bffore midnight the rolland rattleof the crackers in various streets and alleysproclaimed the approaching dawn of an-other year. The concussions unearthedodors that had lain dormant for months andas they floated out on the atmosphere themerry-makers shrieked with delight.
At 12 o'clock came the grand crash thatlighted up the heavens and littered theearth with the fuzzy red wrecks of thecrackers. Great clouds of powder smokeobscured the lights and the smell of burn-ing paper filled the air. The riot was on.
After the first grand burst tnegood peoplewho were sorry for the past and wished tomend their ways move iin the direction ofthe temples with their offerings.
A few bombs bad been let off as a guaran-tee ofgood faith on the steps of the templesand In the Hallways, whicn were plasteredwithNew Tear's greetings printed in plaincrimson. Inside the gods beamed graciouslybetween two burnished rows of Impossiblebattle-axe?, while the god-tenders stood byto pilot the penitents to the altar with theircontributions of punk, pastry and provis-lon«.
Sum Fuss, a true heathen and a firm be-liever in devils, celebrated tne New Yearwith great eclat and in a manner befittingDis station in life. His observance cf theday made the eyes of the other pagans stickout with envy and surprise. There are noinsects on Mr. Fuss when it comes to cast-ing out devils in true orthodox style, and beknows it, too.
First, he hired a man to scrub the store,regild tbe sign over the door and decorate itwith a red rag. trimmed with rosettes of the<ame hue. Next he bought a new topknotfor his little round cap, a mandarin orange,a salted fish with h'.sterless eyos, some Chi-nese sinkers or d ughnuts, after which bekilled a duck that was then baked andboiled in oil.
Mr. Fuss thpn overcame the naturalscruples of his race on a delicate point Hetook his annual bath in ammonia water,had his fingernails polished, and then, likethe lamented McGinty, he dressed up Inhie best suit of clothes. InIthe lookedtike a bit of autumn landscape minus theturmouy with which nature paints hergems.
Sain Fuss in holiday garb was what mighttruthfully be termed a 100-100 in everysrn>» of the term.
lie had on a pair of new lilac silk trouserselaborately figuied and tied at the ankleslike tbe mouths of meal-sacks. His quiltedtop blonse was of Prussian blue witb or-ange facings and large, roomy sleeves thathung down to his knees.
This goreous rig was topped off withapei-green cap with a gold band and afreshly- greased queue en:ertwined with•earlet braid. Mr. Fuss was in the pink of
condition, but before setting off for tbetemple he contributed his share to the gen-eral racket.
From the balcony In front of the store berigged a pole, to the outer end of whichwas tied a string of crackers Dearly twentyfeet lone.
The string, consisted of cannon-
sizedfestival crackers, alternated every foot orso with bombs. With the little snappersthe devil was routed from his lair and thefearful roar of the bombs greatly accel-erated his stampede to the unknown whither-ward. When satisfied that he had cleared atrack for himself to the temple Mr. Fusstook np his platter of god food and jour-neyed forth.
His offering consisted of one duck, palebut beautiful in death, a pork tenderloinboiled and a rib roast culled from anotherbog. Placing this cold snack before hisfavorite zod and bidding him eat, the paganpurchased a large bundle of punk stick*.
Lighting one end of nit bundle of punks,Mr. Fuss made a salaam and dropped tohis prayer bones on a mosaic mat, while theband played independent airs.
Then he arose much refreshed in spiritand distributed his punks inbeautiful brasscensors, wherein sandalwcod ani morepunks were burning in the sand. A* hedid thisiman concealed behind tbe god ham-mered on a gong, the orchestra caught itssecond wind and Mr.Fuss, after having bisfortune told for two bits, made anotnersalaam and fellback for the next pagan.
Having thus terformed a duly he owedto himself, Mr. Fuss withdrew to his resi-dence anil more explosions took place.lie also drank tea and gin and ate thingswith a reckless indifference to fata. Devilshad no terrors for him as he watched thelilies bloom and lighted the sacred punk*with hieroglyphics on it. lie had squaredthings with his cod and queered the devil,so what more could he wish for.
Along toward daylight the riot lulled, butMr. Fuss still had other matter to occupyhim for several aavs. lie has bis newyear's calls to make, mostly at thoseplaces where they have plenty to eat anddrink.
Inmaking the calls he takes his familyalong. The littlepagans are togged out Inlavender silk and sky-blue caps, for Mr.Fuss is proud of his progeny and fond ofdisplay.
Tnoso who are bigenough to walk toddlealong in front of their glittering parent,while be carries the l»te arrival in bisarms. Loaded down with infants and redvisiting-cards longer than porous planters,be makes his round*, eating, smoking anddrinking, telling funny stories, tingingsongs and pa-sing the compliments of theday.
When itis time to contribute more noise,Mr. Fuss touches offthe r*»st of his bombs,and the panic continues with unabated vio-
lence until the ammunition and victualsgive out. The festival end?, tbe smokewears away. Chinatown resumes its normalstatd and goes on accumulating tvnothersupply of dirt, which will b? partly clearedaway on the approach of another new year.

TOO MUCH STYLE.
A Cowboy's Objection to the BigCity
of San Francisco.Fred Eccleslon, a cnwbcv who owns a
part Interest Ina ranch In Montana, paid
the city a flyingvisit this week. Tuis was
bis first visit to a big city, and from certainremarks he let drop prior to his departureyesterday it willbe his last for some time at
least. Fred was born in Texas 31 years ago,and although he is familiar with a great
deal of the country lyingbetween the gulf
and the British line ha has never been asfar east as the Mississippi, nor until thisweek as far west as California. Having
some money to spare, however, he deter-mined to see the metropolis of the Pacific,and arrived here last Sunday and put up atan inexpensive hotel downtown. Knowingno one here he strolled around town aloneuntil Monday evening, when he stumbledacross a newspaper man whom he had metin Salt Lako City, and who offered to showhim around a little.
Together they visited Chinatown, afterwhich the scribe led the way to the PalaceHotel. After a cursory survey of this es-tablishment the cowboy evidently grew
restless Hud the lino r.f march was thentaken up Market street to the Baldwin,
stopping en route at the Cafe Royal. Ateach stop Eceleitoo manifested greaterrestlessness, and after leaving the Baldwindeclined to accompany his guide to the Me-chanics' Pavilion, claiming that he had for-gotten something and must return to hisroom.
Meeting him upon Kearny street yester-day his friend inquired why he had been insuch a hurry to leave him on Monday even-ing, to which he replied:
"Well, now see here, you went to steeringme into hotels r.i d billiard saloons thatwere altogether too fine for my use. andwere full of men who were uot my kind ofpeople. You fellers that live here may likethat sort of thing, but Idon't go nothing onstyle, mid after Iseen wnere you was benton Uking me 1 made ud my mind to quitright then nud there, and so 1quit. Ididn'tcome to San Francisco to see style, andwhat Isee of it on the streets is enough lorme without going iuto places where Iwillsee any more."
When asked what he was afraid of hepromptly declared that he was afraid ofnothing and nobody, but did not like to beamong people whom be instinctively ftltwera not of his kind.
San Francisco, ho said, was a disappoint-ment to hiir and lie much preferred SaltLake City,Butte City and Helena, as theywere not so big nor so uncomfortablycrowded. What chiefly interested him was,lie said, the cable-cars, on which he hadspent a good d?al of his time and the ship-ping, as itwas the first time he hud seen aship since he left Texas many years ago.Eecletstou has nothing of the cowboy lvhisappearance, dressing like an ordinarygranger when in town, and as he does no!drink and is extremely suspicious of strau-gers he has not fallen into any trouble, sothat the o-'ly complaint he has to make ofthe city it its oppressive style and the in-convenience of being crowded and jostledon the streets and for this he cut short hisvisit and started for home yesterday.
WHITELAW REID IN TOWN.
He Stopped a Few A\lnutes En Routeto Millbrae.
President Ilarrison'i running mate in thelate Presidential race arrived in the cityyesterday morniug from the East, but onlyremained in town a few hour!.
Tbe party consisted of Wuitolaw Reid.his wife and children and his fath-r-iu-law,1) O Mills, the California capitalist.
Mr. Reid is seeking rest and recreationafter the excitement of the campaign. Helately returned from a trip to Europe, and,rembering the injunction uttered by thefounder of the paper he owns to-day, Mr.Reid concluded to come west a:;d lookaround a little.
Itis his intention to remain In Californiawith his familyuntil spring.
The overland train bearing tripparty wasdelayed and did not read the city untilnearly neon.
A short stop of a few hours was madewhile Mr. Mills an his son-in-law in-spected the new Ifilia building. The partythen took the evening train for Millbrae,where the country residence of Mr. Millshas been placed in readiness for the visi-tors.
A number of friends of b th men awaitedtheir arrival at the Palace, but as no roomswere engaged many of tiie expectant friendswere disappointed.
Mr. Hills wa« nnich pleased with thearchitectural beauties of the handsomebuilding which bears his name. This hthe first opportunity he bus had of seeingthe build ng in all its glory, as he wentEast during the earlier stages of its con-struction.
The illustrious editor of the Tribune islooking well and i>as evidently enjoyed histrip across the continent. He declines todiscuss politics, but was quite outspoken inhis remarks concerning the weather,which he said delighted him.

CANNIBAL BUGS IN BATTLE.
Strange Stories of Real Life andTragic Death Among the Pretty
Ladybirds.
There wns ft fierce, gory, cannibalisticbattle in the laboratjry of the SUte Horti-cultural Society the other day.
It was got up by Alexander Craw, theState Horticultural Quarantine Officer, whocould paddle a boat all day in the collectedblood of the bugs be has condemned to
death.The battle was a gladiatorial combit be-
tween two bugs about ttiree-sixteenths ofan inch lone, that were full brothers, andthe victor ate his antagonist, as lie intendedto do when be was allowed to start in. Infact lie began his meal before the fallen herowas dead.
The combatants were larvae of the Aus-tralian ladybird. They had been starvedTor several hours to make them fierce andvoracious, and were then turned loose uponeacli other on a broad leaf placed on a table.While the operation suggested an ancient li<>-man rnaUuee, the battle whs strictly in theinterest of science, so that the sacrifice wasperfectly justifiable.
There are many wonderful things anddoings in the bidden insect world thnt are
not only of scientific interest but areworthy of being reported in the newspapersas interesting doings of the day, and a goodmany of them may be seen in Mr. Cruw'slaboratory.
As a great many people know, the prettyVedalia cardinalis was brought here fromAustralia to prey on the cottony cushionscale that ha* cost orange-growers so much.Ttiere are saveral kinds of ladybird?, and itis a peculiarity of tbe family that each kindwilleat one kind of the plant-eating insectscalled scales and nothing else. If they
can't find scales they wills;arve to death.The sole food of the vedalia is the cottony
cushion sca'e, the insect that sticks a pro-boscis into the bark of an orangu twig andsucks away for the rest of its life, spinninga bag of cotton around and behind it, inwhich itlays from 500 to 1000 eg*s before it
di««s. The e^s keep on hatchlug in thiscotton, and the grubs crawl out and awayto do elsewhere what the mother did.
The larvseof this ladybird will also eatnothing but this scale aud its egg<. Anyother bi.g or auy other egi: is no more tempt-ing to its appetite than a brick is to a cow's.[lis extremely voraciou*. eating much moreaud oftrner than the perfect lusect. Itisan unloveiy thing withsix legs big eyes andtwo hml curved mandibles that open audclose laterally, like Iha jaws of a pair of
pincers. About twenty-one d*ys elapse be-tween tbe hatching of an egg and the timewhen the resolttoc nnl red-streaked andblack-spotted ladybird begins flittingfrombough to boagb. Tho larval stage lastsabout two weeks.
This seems a short time for the smartestlarvae to attain growth and education, butthey seem to have all the practical educationnecessary. The parasitical ladybird, bythe wav, deposit its many littleeggs in thecotton describe 1, and the first thing the grubdoes is to begin, sucking eggs— the scale eggsin the cottony nest.
In a few days the larvse are crawlingabout the limbs. They are awfully hungry.They are regular gluttons, and they are alllooking for one thmg.cottony cushion scalesand their eggs. They crash the shells ofthe microscopic eggs with their mandiblesana suck the contents. When they find alive scale they Just sink those comparativelypowerful mandibles into the Insect's sUeand suck the juices from the body.
Now comes the explanation of t cfizht for blood that Mr. Craw watchedthrough a magnifying glass. When theselarvae lint', eggs and scales plenty they keepjust reasonably busy getting away withthem. They eat about all the time, and asthey travel about from feast to feast, wellfed and prosperous, they move ratherslowly. They would be in danger of drop-ping iff if they traveled by their legs infront alone, and so at each advance theyexude a I.tile sticky secretion from theirabdomen which holds them while theystraighten out ahead again.
When a healthy, growing larva becomeshungry, however, his nature is greatlychanged. He is active and seems In \u25a0 hurryto find something. The pluck he displayswhen he gets a chance is admirable. liewillattack the biggest scale he finds travel-ing around, and willsink his mandible* intothe insect's side and just hold on regardless.Toe scale willstruggle frantically and ruthaway, dragging the a«iailnnt itcannot fightor «luke off. Th« larva first hangs on, get-ting his dinner en route. Soon the scale isexhausted, gives up the fight and dies.
Hut when the famished larva is travelingalong a limb, wild with hunger and desper-ate as a starved wolf, finding no more cut-tony cushion scales on his native tree, hejust attacks th« first larva of his kind heruns across. When two lusty and famlsiiedlarvae meet on leaf or limbeacb gazes wild-ryedat theother.each says, "Ahha! you'remy meat," and they rush to the combat.The vanquished becomes the victor's din-ner. Ifa larva who has recently bagged ahalf-dozen scales and a few dozen fresheggs climbs leisurely round a corner andsuddenly sees rapidly advancing a poor rela-tive, who has starved all day, he knowsjust what is up if he was born only lastTuesday, lie displays alarm, for he knowsby the weird light in his brother* eye-that he is likely to be eaten raw and heatonce beats a retreat. Lie is not likely to getaway and soon turns to fight. He tries abluff by sticking his abdomen down andraising hU head, thorax and legs In the airby bending backward with wide open jawsand striking downward at bis foe. Thesuccess of the bluff depends on the enemy'shunger. Ifthe battle begin* it proceedsabout like the one Mr. Craw observed onthe orange leaf.
These gallant cannibals were eager forbattle the moment they faced each other.Both could be seen opening and closingtheir mandibles at a distance apart of alittleless than an Inch. Eich was a trifleless than a quarter of an Inch long. Theywere of the same age and each had beenhungry the same length of lime, so the con-tent was an equal one.
Each advanced fiercely one thirty-secondpart of an inch, and each was plainly In afrenzy of rage and hunger. One, which wasthe least bit darker than the other, took afirm hold on the leaf withsix feet, bunchedhis body up toward ills boad, glued hisabdomen fast and let his front end strideahead. His rival did the same. Both rosehigh inair with mandibles working and longlegs clawing the air in defiance and struckdownward with head and thorax as if try-ing to instill terror In the heart of Ihe enemy.
They drew nearer and were within strik-ingdistance. Then they began to displaypugilistic art. The dark fellow struck athis rival fiercely, but the blow was dodged.Neither could bend his body sideways, andeach seemed to know full well that thesecret of victory lay in getting a hold on Misantagonist's side and saving his own fromhis enemy's fatal jaws. The light onebegan a flank movement, and thedark one turned a trifle aud struck. Thelight one tried to parry itquickly with hislegs and the dark fellow caught one, in hisjaws, disabling it and winning first blood.ibe battle became fiercer and both seemedveryactive and brave, but the movementswere hard to catch. Those jaws were theonly effective weapons they had, and a fatalhold was hard to get. Now they would belocked together somehow, fiercely writhingand struggling, and now separated a momentbefore another rush. For fiveor six minutesthey siruck and struggled, and then thedark champion rushed in ami gained thefatal hold on his antagonist's side, lieheld it like the grim death it was. Hisvictim struggled in the frantic throes ofdeath awhile, but he could not escape andhe could Dot turn sideways to fight back.His struggles grew fainter, then ceased.The victor reveled in the feast he drewfrom the tide of his prey.
Allthis well illustrated the wisdom ofgreat nature's plan. The cottony cushionscale was evolved to temper the pride andnrrogance of the orange barons of SouthernCalifornia. The ladybird was created awinged Bpnetite that the scale might liotwholly destroy the fragrant groves. Tomake this bag wholly fulfill its ,mission itwas first given a stomach for nothing butthe juices of one variety of the ccocida*.That the ladybird population might, bemore perfectly adjusted to tho demand,that death might mercifully removethe victims of starvation, that allwight nut perish when scales were
sfftfee and that but the strongest mightsurvive, it vas arranged that familiesshould (hushed on themselves.
Orange-Krowers"!s California where theladybird has quickly •'multiplied to an enor-mous population may know that \rfvn theycan see a good many of those little wi*;'4*bunches on the fruitful orange boughs allis well with the reveling ladybirds. Whenthose white bunches are hard to find theymay know that the bread riots in Europeami the famines of Russia and China arenothing to the starvation troubles of thou-sands and thousands of ladybirds who wereborn too late to be happy, and that in theirfruitful groves which glorify a land ofplenty embryo bugs by hundreds or thou-sands, gaunt and wild-eyed, are wagingjust such fierce battles for life. Brothersmaddened by hunger are eating sisters onthe green leaves that shade the golden fruitand even in the odorous blossoms that per-fume the soft airs of a sun-kissed land,where all is peace to the orange-eaters, whosee and know so little.
Smq Voracity and Its Results.
AT THEIR MERCY.
Aged Inmates Complain ofAlmshouse Abuse.
T.C. Hoopes Says He Was KnockedDown by an Employe and
Otherwise Maltreated.
The principal business before the Boardof Health last evening was an investigationInto a charge ot Inhuman treatment at theAlmshouse.
Thomas C. Doopes, an old man, was thecomplainant, having been referred to tbeboard by the Hospital Committee of theSupervisors.
Mr. Hoopes appeared before the board,and having been accommodated with achair, was invited to m ki> a statement.
He said he was 74 years of age and hadcome to this city furty-three years ago. Howas a carpeuter by trade, but during tbelast few months bad become penniless bymisfortune, and being a sufferer from se-rious illness, had gone to tho City andCounty Hospital for treatment. He wasthere a few days at the beginning of thismonth and was then transferred, as hethought, to auother hospital.
When he Hrrived he found It was theAlm*house, ned ns it was night he eooM donothing but slay there. He couldn't getmedlelot until he bad gone to the doctor'si< iir time*.
H» said lie wai bru'nlly treavd by theinmate in charge of the ward. All the oldmen are compelled to gftup at .1a. m ,andon one occasion, when physically unable torise, the Inmate in charge took bold of hisshoulders and jerked him out o( bed.lliichief complaint was against William
11. TitfOß, duel nurse. He said he wentwith another patient named Dewell to thedoctor's room on one occasion, and Tllsoosaw then) sluing there waiting for tne doc-tor to come in.
"TiUuti shouted out," said Iloopes,"'wh:it ure you bums doing there? (.Jet out
of tins!' 1begged him not to abuse us, aswe were both old men, but he knocked medown, and wonid have hurt Dewell if 1hadn't stopped him.
"Then he shouted, 'If you come hereagain I'll throw you both downstairs andbreak your necks!'
The complainant s;»id he had tried to eetword to Superintendent Weaver, but wasprevented. The next day after beingknocked v >wm lie left the hospital.
The general treatment of himself and theother inmates was vryvigorous. They hadto stand fifteen to twenty minutes in line,often in the rain, before meals. There wasno place for the aged and enfeeble! to liedown and no place except thujwadiug-rooss,which would only accommodate a few,i-here they could sitdown. They were nutallowed la tba vrardi before 5 r.m.
Then they had to »;o to bed without a lightand there were no conveniences for thenatural wanU ol the «»;<•>!.
Ho concluded by saying with great emo-tion that bo was no pauuer and had ex-pected to get cured in eight or ten daysafter going to the City and County Hospital.He thought if ho had stayed lie would havebeen crippled with rheumatism. All hisstatements would be borne (Mai by Devvell,his companion when struck. That old manwas 68 rears old and had left the Alms-house lit the same time he did. Dewell wasalmost destitute and unable to leave hisroom, but said he would dio in the streetsbefore he would go back to the Almshonse.
Superintendent P. L. Weaver Mid ail heknew about the matter was that Hnopescame In on the 6th insL and was assigned tothe new building. On the 10th a hack tame
for Daniel Dewell, who was Mid to haveplenty of money, and Iloopes went awaywith him. liedid not know hat inmatetook charge of Hoopes' ward.
William 11. Tilsoo, the chief nurse, wassworn by the Mayor and denied Uoopes'story in many particulars.
ile said Hooptt came inen the 6th inst.,and the next day asked to see the doctor,saying he had been three days there. Me
tad as if he had delirium tremens. liesaw the doctor that day.
The witness ab-olutely denied havingknocked the complainant down and said hehid never stturk a niau In his life. Tbeold m«n had a c mforlab> room, with afire, where they could i»!\ and there wn« noneed for them 10 stand in line, lie did notreceive many cnnplainls or any applica-tions to reoort to the superintendent.
Thf Mayor— Does this man hi>ve> them soterrorized, Mr. Weaver, that they cannotreport t« you?
Air. Weaver thought not. but In reply toanother inquiry by the Mayor thought itwould demoralize the old men to allow tlu-mto sleep until tio'clock. They stood in lineto cet the hest of the food served out.
'the physician at the Almshouse 6tatrdthat he had done, nil he could for the eoa-plainant, and this closed the inquiry forthe present.
Mayor Kliert then announced that thespecial point for the. boaid to decide ITMwhether Tileon struck the old man. If hedid he should be dismissed.
The other members also evidently thoughtthat there was no sisoka without tire, for onDr. Kerens burner's motion it was decidedto tak« J)ew«ll's depi sition and continuethe Investigation one week from to-day.In the meantime the board will visit theAJmsbottM nihl quest lon the old boys thereto ascertain how thr>y are treated not onlylately but as a general rale.
The usual requisitions w.>re allowed andreports adopted. In Him < onnection anumber of ehanpes among the employesat the AlmshousH were reported by Super-intendent P. W. Weaver, in which ittranspired that such reports were onlysubmitted every quarter, and he was di-rected henceforth to report every month.
.Superintendent Weaver reported that outof 753 in the hou«e in that period sixty-five had been discharged by rrquest, ninehad run away and eight had died.
The physician of the AlnthoSM reportedthat between January 15 and February U213 patients had been treated in the sirkand hospital ward and 230 in the physi-cian's oftice.
Lowell White was appointed assistantmarket inspector, vice John li.Dooley.
W. T. Hurke and 11. Baehr were appointedhealth inspectors.
B. 11. O'Donnell was appointed mes-senger.
Mrs. J. Edmonds was appoiuted matronof the Cltj Receiving Hospital.

A complaint from Dr. Titm, regarding themud Inthe neighborhood of the City andCounty Hospital, with a suggestion as toa remedy, was referred to the Board 0/Supervisors.

of scissors are kept continually busy cut-ting off the ends of the Cinderella envel-opes. Morning, noon and night they comein, are numbered, opened, the coupons
throws aside or filed, according to whetherthey fulfil]the conditions or not.
As before stated, a foot over 7% Inches Inlength could not wear the shoe.
ItIs now proved beyond a doubt that SanFrancisco, in addition to numerous .otherattractions, lias the smallest-footed womenIn the world.
The girls' feet here, indeed, are Just ashade larger than the average aristocraticmaiden's in the land of flowers. However,Celestial girls do not count, for we allknow what barbarous measured they re-sort to in the Cimie.se Empire to make theirfeet small.
One Cinderella, whom 1 sought to inter-view yesterday, *as exactly like her illus-trious namesake. She bad goi.e and lefther slipper behind her. Knowing, how-ever, that in these days of competition
even Cinderellas have to rustle in order to
get anvthlntr, she bad left word that shewould return as soon as she was wanted.
Carefully putting the little shoe into mypocket, Icarried it down to the office andhad itphotographed.
The accompanying print shows tho younglady's shoe— Misses' size lO1/^— which, by
the way, was one of an old pair that she
wears round the house. Her best shoeslook a good deal smaller and trimmer. Sheis 23 years of age.
The strangest thing Is that some of SanFrancisco's Ciudereilas wear even smallershoes than this and have smaller feet thanthe absent Cinderella, but her shoe waschosen as it represents a very fair average.
On« peculiarity that is really worth re-marking about San Francisco Cinderella*is that their sisters, unlike those jealousrelations of the fabled heroine, are evenmore anxious for them to wear the slipperthan they are themselves.1was out ail the morning yesterday, with
my assistant, measuring feet.We visited one house where Cinderella
was at her toilet. While one sister enter-tained us the other held an animated dia-logue with the heroine.
"On, say; come down quickly; they arewaiting to verify your measurements."
"Oh, yes, Iknow you are trying to play aJuke on me," replied a far-away voice intones which implied unmistakably, "Youare not going to tool me."
"But honestly, indeed, it is some one fromTnE Call." replied the sister despairingly,for Cinderella was locked In her room ndsteadfastly refused to open the dour to be-come the victim of a joke.
After a vast amount of persuasion shewas at last induced to come down and havea peep at the visitors. Then she discoveredthat it was really not a joke got up by herfamily and we all enjoyed a hearty laugh ather discomfiture.
At another house the girl who opened thedoor stated that Cinderella was out and thatIt was very problematical when she wouldreturn. "Her foot is within the measurement,but it is not a very small one," she addedcontemptuously.
This struck us as being really an unkindtlnni! to say of tne absent maiden, and asher Coupon had been one of tho first re-ceived, we determined to give her anothertrial and call again.
"Yi-s, she's at home," replied the samegirl on our second visit.
"Can we see her ?"'"Well, Imay as well tell yon that Iam
the Cinderella," replied the young ladywithan ingenuous blush.
"My relation* persuaded me to fillIn theccupou, and when you called before Ihadnot courage to say who 1 was. Ineverthought you would come again," she added,apologetically.
"And do vnu think Istand any chance?"asked another girl, whose foot just fittedinto the given measurement. 1posted myletter very early."
"You willbe allowed to try on the slipperif no number before yours wins it,"Ire-plied. "You kuow the rule is one of prece-
dence and fitness.""Are any eoapona that came In before
mine dibqualined?""They are not all verified yet," Ian-
swered, for it is terribly difficult to satisfyanxious questions.
Although modest, all the Clnderellas aremercurial in temperament, and when theydiscover that they can wear the slipper, arehopeful of obtaining it.
"But if. itfits me?" observe the late-com-ers regretfully, and those whose couponswere Bent In eatly inquire, "Was mine thefirst?"If The Call gave a Cinderella slipper to
every girl in San Francisco who could wearit, the most economical plan would be tobuy a few gross wholesale.
Many people are inquiring: "Are any oftbese little feet ill-shaped or ungraceful?"
This base insinuation can be repudiatedwith promptitude and scorn. So far, every
foot has been shapely and graceful; some,indeed, remnrkably so.ItIs quite a matter for regret
of the most beautifully formedthat a fewfeet could
not have hpeti photographed; thoy wouldnavft been invaluable as artists' models.
Throughout the world, sculptors andpainters, ;'jin
-depicting their ideals of
.feminine beauty, would then probably havocome to consider it a" necessity of artisticsuccess to represent the San Francisco typeof foot.
To-day the slipper will be on exhibitionat The Call Branch Office on Marketstreet.
Saturday's issue will contain the an-nouncement of wbo San Francisco's Cin-derella is. .X AIAIUEEVELYX

WiLKIE'S CONCERTS.A Fine Musical Programme Interpreted by
Good Voices.The afternoon bailad concert ofthe Alfred
Wilkie series, given at Maple Hall, PalaceHotel, on Tuesday last drew a large andfashionable audience. The attendance wasadeserved compliment to the excellent pro-gramme provided, and, as the result proved,to the super!) manner in which the differentnumbers were rendered. The Brahms''LtHDeslipden," with which the concertopened, were a decided novelty nnd werecharmingly sang by the Misses Newmanand Messrs. Wilkiu and Carroll and metwith deserved applause. MIM Julia New-man also distinguished herself in the song"Marguerite," and on a recall gave "Memor-ies." This young lady has a sweet,sympathetic voice, and mado a pro-found impression. Mr. Victor Carrollwas also well received for his renderingof a song by Mattel. Mis. A. L.Gutterspiano solo, Chopin's Impromptu in F sharpmajor, was played with a brilliancy and afacility of execution that showed highartistic ability. Mr. Wilklo sang Ilodson'sfavorite ballad, "Tell Me, Mary, How toWon Thee." These heart-songs of thepeople are, after a!!, as Wiikie sinus them,the feature of his concert-". The duet,"Lost. Proscribed," from Flotow's "Mar-tha," by Wilkie anil Carroll, was a Onenumber. The voices blended nicely, Wil-ki«'s 13 flatcoming out clear and sonorous.Mr. Fred 1.. Gutterson was a success in his'cello solo.- A group of MLiebesliedeo,"commencing with a duct by the Missc*Newman, well sung, closed one of the mostadmirable concerts so far given. It mayalso be stated that the fourhand no omtmni-ments by Mrs. Gultorson and Mr. K. F.Feiion were, all that could be desired. Thenext c uicerr, on Thursday evening, March2, will be rendered specially interesting bythe presence, as an executant, of Mrs.Alfred Abbey, who has just returned fromEurope.
