He gave no particular reason, but it is pretty well understood that the change in the chairmanship of the elementary committee is responsible for his desire to resign.” Dr. Ragan had heard that Director Derham was anxious to get out of all committee work because he thought he had been unfairly treated in the dis- tribution of committee chairmanships.

One of the largest funerals that has passed through the streets of San Francisco for some time was that of Florio Antonovich, the well-known and popular founder of the Austrian Mili- | tary and Benevolent Association and Slavonic Illyric Benevolent Society. | “Honest Antone,” as he was familiar- | ly termed by the thousands who knew him for the past forty years on the city front, was followed to Calvary | Cemetery by hundreds of mourners | who turned out to pay their last re- | spects to his memory. The Austrian | military band, with the members of | the company, in their gray uniforms, was there, as was also the members of | the Illyric civic society, besides hun- | dreds of other citizens. | Antonovich arrived in San Francisco | in 1851, being one of the crew of the ship Flying Cloud that made that re- markable voyage from New York to San Francisco in eighty-eight day: Arriving in this city he opened a res taurant on the city front, which he | conducted for forty yearg while at the same time he invested in. mining stock | and accumulated considerable property. During all of his many years in this | city his greatest pride was in being an_American citizen. | His remains were taken to St. Fran- cis’ Church where religious services | were held by Father Giles prior to those | afterward held by the Illyric Society at | the grave, where A.

Should any preoccupation be noticed today in the manner of any of our leading grocers it may be attributed to visions of wine, woman and revelry For to-night the California Travele Association is to hold high carnival in Native Sons’ Hall. Not only the grocers but all the friends of the members of the associa- | tion, be their business what it may, The wise men of the road are well versed in the con- duct-of such matters, and a good time is promised to everybody. There will be edibles for the hungry, long, cooling drinks for those who thirst and for those of the older generation who pre- fer the more quiet delight of conversa- tion phonographs will be provided. No distinction will be made in age or importance. There will be partners for everybody, ranging from four hundred pound girls for the heavy merchant of California street to diminutive dols for the small though ambitious cash- boy. ’l¥he California Commercial Travelers’ Association, of whom James R. T. Mer- shon.is president, is composed of about one hundred and twenty-five members taken from the Pacific Coast Travel- Association. All the members are local men running out of San Francisco. The organization is a young one and this is its first entertainment, so the travelers expect to have it well attended, espe- cially as the price of admission is only 50 cents. Besides dancing and a general good time there will be a great deal of pro- fessional talent which will give an en- tertainment composed of amusing spe- cialties, good sirging and living pic- tures from the Klondike.
