Now I'll look at you a few moments. Is that pose about right?” Cormne settled herself again and kept minute. Presently he shifted her position long enough to | observe that the Trilby craze bad deyel- oped too many feet. ‘‘Kvery young crea- ture 1 know prates about her feet, and they all want to have them painted. It's so strange that a fad will leave such dis- astrous results. One never—’’ “This way, Corinne,” chimed in Raschen | again. “All right. There.

When a girl John Stanton, who received it. Bully for Uncle Sam. The mail service is all right, and the young lady will follow in the footsteps of Trilby O’Farrel with a firm and footful tread. *“You cannot see the signature,” said Mr. Stanton, “*but some day perhaps you may see a sketch of the foot. Has the Trilby craze had any effect upon the young ladies of the town? Well I should say it had. Faces and divine forms are no longer in it. Feet are the things. Feet, feet, feet: nothing but feet.” Mr. Stanton mixed a little red witha touch of white anda heightened the blush on a portrait of Willis Polk. upon which he was engaged. You see it is just about the time for so- ciety to want something entirely new, and retty feet are plentiful enough in San rancisco to supply the demand for Tril- bies. I have painted several already, and the craze is still on. I have seen some very nicely manicured fect of late, and I assure you they make a very pretty picture. Tueonfy objection I have to tootsy-wootsies is the total lack of expression in them. ““What do you think of this portrait of Willis? He is Little Billee for the girls with Trilby feet. I guess I'll put alittle more sadness in the face. Say, wouldn’t Joullin msake a great Svengali if he had whiskers?”” There was a knock at the door just then, and Mr. Stanton got up to admit the caller. ‘“Probably a consignment of feet from the Latin quarter,”” he said, butit proved to be a messenger who was there for the purpose of getting the picture of the last foot painted by Mr. Stanton. “Dere’s a lady on California street what ‘wants her foot. See?’said theboy, ‘“‘Ana she wants it dis evenin’ or it don’t go. See? Dere’s a-goin’ to be a fracus at de mansion and de crowd wants a glimpse. Dat’s what.”’ The artist threw up his hands in amaze- ment and sent word back that he must have another pose for the toes. “That’s the way it goes,” said he, *‘they all seem to think [ have been painting feet for years. T'll tell you the business of feet- Ynintins’ is a little new in this section, and don’t like to be rushed. It’s funny, isn’t it, how people get wild over such small things as—feet? I suppose the time will come when the parlors of the people will contain_pictures of the feet of their rela- tions. ow would it look to see a picture of your father's foot, your grandfather’s foot, your second cousin’s foot and the feet of your nieces and nephews? Of course, it would be necessary to have a foot of George Washington and Abraham Lincoln over the fireplace and a campaign lithograph of the feet of Jim Budd and Morris M. Estee hung up in the billiard- roor. Great heavens, isn’t it getting ter- rific? Itisa case of give our feet lii:)erty or give us death.” he next authority visited on feet was Corinne, who enjoys thedistinction of hav- ing the confidence of the artists of the She is the model of the Art Association, and has posed for most of the painters of the City. Corinne was found in the studio of Henry Raschen, who is painting a bust picture of the young lady. : “Lrilby? Did I hear you say Trilby?” answered Corinne to a guestion touching upon the prime character of Du Maurier's immortal book. *“Do you know that I am getting tired of Trilby. AllI hear to-day among my girl friends is Trilby. They want to pose ‘just as Trilby did,” but peo- ple who make a farce of posing never make good models. Posing is no jest. Now, for instance, some young ladies have m{lud with me about posing. and many of them say they wouldn’t do it for the world. Pshaw.” Corinne threw back her hair, wants to pose and is afraid to she has a false modesty. Most of them seem to live under the disadvantage of a wondrous beauty, so grand and sublime that no man can look upon it without feeling a great misery that they will some day be dead and removed from the face of the great world. Isn’tit sad?”’ The model crossed her hands and looked very disconsolate over the whole affair. Raschen went on painting and succeeded in getting Corinne to remain quiet for some moments. “Trilby. Feet. ~ Amateur models. Fools,” "sighed Corinne. ‘“All amateurs are perfect in form. All Trilbies have pretty feet. Allmen like amateur Trilbies. All men are fools.” Corinne volunteered this information, and looked straighf at Mr. Raschen as she concluded. OVESTORY OF THE STEL BULLION SENT FROM THE CARSON MINT TO THE SELBY RE- FINING WORKS. THE PARTICLES LEFT BY THE SUL- PHURIC PROCEss EXPOSED THEIR SCHEME. The visit to this City of United States District Attorney C. A. Jones, in company with R. D. Clarke, superintendent of the Reno Reduction Works, revives the sensa- tion that was created several months ago by the big steal made in the Carson Mint by John D. Jones and A. Heney, who were then melters and refiners there. The attorney is here, accompanied by the expert, to look into and make a thor- ough study of the sulphuric process of the reduction of gold from the bullion in the Mint in this City and at the Selby Refining Works. In an interview with Jones and Clarke considerable light was thrown on the ne- farious operations of the two employes of the Carson Mint that hitherto has not been published. John D. Jones was assistant melter and refiner there, under one Zabrieska, under the last administration. Zabrieska was troubled with a chronic disease, which made his constant presence at the Mint an impossibility, and as a consequence Jones was enabled to carry on his methods with- out detection. When Zabrieska was snc- ceeded by Hirsh Harris, a noted expert in his line, the shortage was discovered. Mr. Harris, in pmparin% his report to be sent to Washington, found 2 large deficit and spoke to Jones regarding it. Jones said that the difference would be found in the “slum” tanks. _Examination was made of the tanks indicated, and the amount of gold found there did not begin to approximate the required amount. Harris then sent word to Washington for an expert, saying that there was some- thing seriously wrong at the Mint. Andrew Mason, superintendent of the New York Assay Office, was detailed to examine into the matier, and through his discoveries the guilt of Jones and Heney was made clear, To cover the deficiency spurious melts bad been made, one, No. 136, which should have contained $23,000 value, was found to hold only $1900. Tt was also found that Jones had failed to keep an account of the record, making it impossible to find out regarding previous steals. Irhad been the habit of Heney to take refined gold irn a granulated form from the Mint to ._D. Clarke of the Selby Refining Works as bullion from a mine near Silver City. Heney claimed to have a lease on this mine and asked Clarke not to mention the richness of the output for fear he would be deprived of the lease. This gold that came under the hands of Clark was found to be over 995 fine. The fact that nuggets from a mine rarely contain more than 1934 parts of pure goid gave another clew to those looking up the matter. Also when the first granulations were brought to the reduction works they were very rotten, and indicated that they either had been buried or were pregnant with ! minute particles incident to the sulphuric process. The sacks had formed a sost of carbon which prevented the réady separa- tion of these particles and promated a slag which was afterward by Heney himself pounded up for compensation in settle- ment with the reduction works. The Government has a check that came from the Bank of California to the National Bank of Carson, which Heney had indorsed and cashed, 1 Heney and Jones, who at first made their depredations singly, finally discovered that each was stealing and joined issue, Jones attending to the preparation of the gola into bullion and Heney conveying it to the Mint and transferring it into ready money. They both are now confined at Carson | awaiting trial. SELLING DISEASED MEAT CHINESE BUTCHER-SHOP RAIDED | BY MARKET INSPECTOR DAvIS. ‘W HITE PEOPLE FounD BuYING IM- MATURE VEAL AND MEAT WITH TUBERCULOSIS. Chief Market Inspector Ben Davis con- demned a lot of diseased meat in China- town yesterday and to-morrow he is going to swear out warrants for the arrestof a number of Chinese butchers. The meat; seized was in a frightful condition. The | beef was from an animal in the last stages ot tubercular disease. The butchers had been so careless in preparing the carcass for market that they had not taken the pains to remove the tubercles. They would have undoubtedly been cooked with the rest of the meat by the purchaser. Four unnatnral calves were also discovered in the same shops. While the inspector was bringing up his buggy two of them were smuggled away. The inspector and two policemen hunted the shops in the vicinity but were unable to again find any trace of the condemned calves. The chances are they will be cut up and offered for sale | when thereare no m arket inspectorsaboat. This is not the first condemned meat se1zea and destroyed by Inspector Davis, by any means, but it is one of the worst cases that he has tound in a long time and | adds its weight to the proof that the Chi- nese butchers do not hesitate to seil meat known to be diseased. In the present | case the evidences of tuberculosis were so apparent that a child would have known | the meat was poison. Any tyro would | have scoffed at the assertion that the calves were not immature veal. The raid of the inspectors on the Chinese butcher-shops is important, because so many white people living on the borders of Chinatown buy their meat there—be- | cause it is cheap. The reason the meat is | sold so cheap is because it is diseased, of | course. For instance, the cow irom which | this tuberculosis meat was obtained sold for $2. The market 1nspector knows that for a fact, because he was watching her for several days in order to arrest any man who should kill her for butcher's meat. The Chinese, however, have a way of buy- ing up diseased cattle and slaughtering them secretly in out-oi-the-way piaces. The immature calves captured sold for 75 cents each. Of course no butcher in legitimate business can hope to compete | with butchers who get their stock at such | prices. | Wholesale Butcher Jefferson J. James testified before the Supervisors last Friday that any beef that dies in transit is worth $8 to its owner, on account of the hide, etc. A very ordinary beef carcass is worth $20, | and a very ordinary sized veal will fetch §5. A Chinese butcher, therefore, who buys cows at less than $5and calves at | less than §1 can afford to make a bigcut in his prices in order to attract customers. Itis said on pretty good authority that & number of cheap butcher-shops and | cheap hotels bave been going to China- town of late to get their meats. If that is| sodiseased meats have been pretty widely sold ia the City. On the last trip of the Board of Health | through Chinatown the members rooted out and condemned a lot of this diseased and decaying meat. Whole beeves and carcasses of sheep and calves | were found in a horrible condition in the dark closets of a number of butcher-shops. They were being offered for sale cheap because they were in such an advanced stage that they could not last longer. When questioned about matter the owners answered stolidly and indifferently. Apparently they thought if customers bought such meat the conse- quences had to rest on the head of the cus- tomers. They treat the matter pretty much as they do the raids on the disappears they order 1 a lot more of cheap meat and go right on selling it as if nothing had bappened. ‘been known where they recaptured the condemned meat and coolly hung it out for sale again. Inspector Davis has been lecturing these butchers and condemning the diseased and decaying meats till patience has ceased to be a virtue. Now he proposes to make an example of some of them and stop the traffic. To-morrow he will swear out warrants for the arrest of Quang Sang & Co. of 826 Jackson street and Lee Sung of 10}; Washington alley, the butchers who _\'elsterday offered the diseased meat for sale.

As soon as the inspector | Instances have | THE CITY MILK SUPPLY, ITEMS FROM SATURDAY'S INTER- VIEWS WITH LEADING DAIRYMEN. SEVERAL RANCHES VISITED A UnIT IN FAVOR OF THE ESTAB- LISHMENT OF A THOROUGH SYs- TEM OF INSPECTION. The question of the purity of thg milk supply of this City is one iraflghf with se- rious consequences. The best dairies area unit in favorof strict municipal and State legislation economically and honestly en- forced. In an interview yesterday R. G. Sneath of the Jersey Farm Dairy said: “This is a matter of life or death to the old and young whether the milk they con- sume is pure and wholesome or not. They must have milk to live, as it is about the only food the feeble old and young can de- pend upon for a prolongation of their lives —and to be engaged in the production of pure, wholesome milk demands an integ- rity of purpose, bonesty of character and conscientious regard for the health and lives of people not often found among the ignorant or lower classes. Fars, “fhe greatest danger from most milk is fpom the large quantity of chemicals used in preventing the milk from souring. The tilthier the milk the quicker it will sours besides old milk can be saved for several lays and none be lost, or old milk can be purchased at less than half price, doctored and sold at full price, but the children that use it will probably sicken and die. “I hope that the Board of Health will be thorough in their work of having milk and cream inspected, and I feel assured that great good will come from it. Some mistakes will no doubt occur, but they can be cured as well as sick children with pure milk.” W. P. A. Brewer, proprietor of the San | Mateo Ranch Dairy, when seen at the | ranch a few days since, to which he gives is entire attention, had the following to o There is truly no more important mu- nicipal question to San Francisco than the conditien of the milk supply. Honest in- spection of milk is simply setting a pre- mium upon the work of those who desire to serve wholesome milk. If the statutory regulations now upon the books with re- | gard to food products were properly car- ried out other food products as well as milk would be the subjects of serious con- sideration. “There are a number of good dairies sup- plying milk to San Francisco. There are others besides ourselves having pasturage, which, I presume, THE CALL will say some- thing about. *‘The_ public should not be deceived into the belief that it is wise ecoromy to buy cheap milk. It is penny wise and pound | foolish. Better pay the milkman than the doctor is the correct idea.” The San Mateo Ranch Dairy is situated near San Mateo, where the cows have a large range with plenty of green grass and pure water. The dairy is constructed on scientific principles, with a thorough system and on a large scale. Greut care is taken in every- thing. The water is piped to all the build- ings, troughs and roadways around the premises, and the corrals are on elevated | ground, so that the cattle may be free from mud and filth. The barns have elevated floors, that are washed clean twice daily, and there is not a taint or bad smell about the whole place. The milkers are cleanly, and yet not al- lowed about the milkroom where the cream is separated from the milk for the fear of taint, nor can flies, dust or dirt of any kind be found where the milk is cooled and canned, or in fact about the barn, which is very important as the milk and cream might be highly charged with bacteria from a filthy barn before it leaves for the City. This dairy does not buy milk to sell for the reason that the purity of the milk cannot be guaranteed without having supervision over it on the farm. W.P. A. Brewerappeared greatly pleased at the call made by the newspaper report- er and took every opportunity to show him the entire equipment of the dairy. The stables and distributing-house on the ranch are large and well kept. It isthe | policy of this dairy to serve a uniform quality of milk to its customers. The City retail business has its head- uarters at 1515 Fillmore street, near ieary. An inspection of the depot will show the very best management, special pains being taken to keep milk in a pure, uncontaminated condition from the time it is drawn from the cow until it reaches the customer. “As_to the matter of inspecting,” said John Linehan of the Green Valley Dairy,” ‘it is a subject to which I have given very close study, and my idea is that too rigid | r@gulations cannot’ exist for those who wish to do an honest business. The effect will be to raise a high standard and force all to deliver good, wholesome milk. In- spector Dockery has taken several samples from my wagons at different times, but the boys were allowed in each instance to drive on unmolested. My aim has always been to serve good, wholesome milk. | Strict regulations’ will give the honest milkman just recognition.” | A special trip was made to the Green | Valley Dairy, which is situated within six | miles of this City, on the boundary line of San Mateo County. This dairy was estab- | lished twenty-five years ago.” The ranch comprises over a thousand acres of land, and in the barns are always stored from two to three hundred tons of the oest ground feed, such as bran, middlings and oatmeal, that the market affords. Over the ranch may be seen 350 head of the best cattle in the pest condition. The utmost care is taken to keep the milk and cream in the best of order and free from taint of any kind, the whole being under the personal supervison of John Linehan and his four sons. Mr. Linehan and his sons have the repu- tation of being diligent and careful dairy- men. 1In fact, the old gentleman comes of a family of dairvmen who taught him in his boyhood days every feature of the business.” This is shown by the system and business mewnods pursued at the ranch, all of which give the public the best warrant in dealing with him. The next visit was made to the Millbrae Company at the corner of Mission and inth streets, of which F. H. Green is president and E. A. Green general man- ager. This 1s one of the oldest establish- ments in San Francisco, being in exist- ence forty years. These gentlemen have had years of experience in the milk busi- ness and thoroughly understand the wants of the trade, and spare no pains nor ex- pense to please their customers and main- tain creditable patronage. In speaking of mitk inspection F.H. Green said: “We may be put down as heartily in favor of milk inspection. Itis to be hoped that this well-meant consid- eration of the congition of milk wilt result in the formulation of a thorough and equitable system of inspection. It is safe to sav every good dairy will be will- Ing to spend time and money to that end. 1 for one would be in favar of paying the Milk Inspector a good salary and giving him full support in his work of stamping out the impostors in the business. B$Marin County, famous for its butter pro- duction, is the source of the Millbrae Com- pany’s milk. A strong credential of this dairy is the continned patronage of a large number of prominent physicians, clubs | and hotels. The Guadaloupe Dairy Company’s ranch and premises were next visited. This com- pany was established in 1872, and at pres- ent is composed of John A. Roy, presi- dent, C. W, Taber, vice-president, and L. A. Haywara, treasurer. These names con- nected with any concern are sufficient guarantee to the public that what they puf on the market wirl be the purest and best. The ranch is located in Guadaloupe Val- ley, San Mateo County, within six miles of the City. It is a model place for a ranch, being situated in the midst of the most picturesque scenery, with valleys and mountain streams surrounding them. The drive from the old San Bruno road up to Wwhere the dairy is located is very attract- ive. The pasfurage is of the best, and bands of contented and peaceful-looking cows are passed on every hand. The dwellings for the men are large, and the barns and stables and grain-houses are the acme of neatness. A visit to this com- pany’s ranch would at once convince you that where such cleanliness is observed and complete quarters maintained, good, pure milk must be found. In discussing the inspection of milk L. A. Hayward, who is president of the Milkmen’s Union, said: “I believe this movement will result in a great benefit. For once the people seem to be in earnest in their support of the inspector. He should be paid a good salary and be under bonds the same as any other responsible City official. There is one thing quite cer- tain, the newspapers are doing a good work in properly warning and educating the consumers of milk.” —_— PEOPLE'S THEATER WOES, EDWARD THEILE CAUSES A SEN- SATION BY ANNEXING FORTY DOLLARS. THE MANAGER OF THE THEATER, G. L. CLaYTON, PURSUED BY MaNy CREDITORS. The People’s Theater is in sore financial straits. The managers owe everybody in sight, and the creditors — electric light men, newspapers, plumbers—are threaten- ing to attach. The trouble is of long standing, but it came to a head last night. A number of creditors called at the cashier’s office, but Edward Theile, who was issuing tickets, was instructed by G. L. Clayton, the man- ager, to put them off. It appears that young Thiele did not consider this quite in accordance with his views on square dealing. Besides, Clayton owed him some back salary. Assoon as he had collected $40 admission fees he annexed the same and tendered his resignation. Clayton was very indignant at the per- fidious conduct of his cashier, and loudly proclaimed to all and sundry his ability to settle all debts in full. The electric light man, however, threatened to put out the lightand the newspaper man to put in tne sneriff. So between the two Mr. Clay- ton is liable to fare badly. The proceedings at the theater last night were of arather lively character. Two gentlemen, one of whom was a plumber by profession and connected with the theater, and the stage manager, proceeded to argu- ment in the barroom, which argument presently took the form of blows. Mr. Clayton was profuse in his apologies for the scene, remarking that there had *‘Never! no, never!” been such a scene “within these walls.” Mr. Clayton, it appears, does not propose to ask the assistance of the police depart- ment to recover his cash, which was ap- propriated by Theile. and Theile will not give it up as it rightfully belongs to him. Monday will see the settlement of the lit- tle controversy as far as the creditors are concerned. —————— The Bendix Recital. Otto Bendix gave a pianoforte recital before a large audience that filled Beethoven Hall Tuesday evening. The composers represented were Bach with the “Fantasia Cromatica e Fuga” and the great Beethoven sonata opus 110, the metaphysics of pianoforte liternture, each in its aiverse way; the romantic school, with its trying requirements of touch and tone, was represented in the Piano Pieces, opus 12, and the Chopin Fantaisie; the Raff Rigaudon and the Moszkowski Tarantelle, dainty and delicate, and the impetuous rush, respectively, and lastly the Don Juan Fantaisie, with its ex- actions of power in the enormous skips with both hands and the finger-breaking runs.
