By this time he was out of his chair and following her out into the hall. He tried to tell her that she couldn't quit without notice, but she demcnstrated that she could. Then he capitulated. My dear,” he said to his wife later, “these girls cannot be treated as rea- soning beings. They don’t know any- thing but cooking and arithmetic, and nothing in the latter outside of addi- tion.

The Well Known Firm of J. C. Wil- son & Co. at 900 Battery Street. The firm of J. C. W dealers at 900 Battery street, is one of the oldest and most reliable enterprises of its kind in San Francisco. The co- partnership was established some thirty vears ago by the late Captain J. C. Wilson and Joseph Macdonough, but since that time the firm has been duly incorporated. The firm handles the best known coals in the market, and is agent for the well-known Australian Co-opera- tive Wallsend, the only co-operative coal on the market to-day and famous for its gas and steam producing prop- erties. The handling of Pennsylvania anthracite, such as the Wilkesbarre egg coal, is a specialty. This coal is very popular as a steam producer. The firm supplies coal in large quan- tities to various departments of the United States Federal service, and to many State institutions. In IlS yards are kept all well-known brands of foundry coke and pig iron, as well as the finer grades of coke used for metal- lurgical purposes. The business of J. C. Wilson & Co. is very extensive, and heavy shipmenls to interior polnts are made each year. The firm supplies all the larger and more prominent gas companies, foun- dries, etc., in the State. The local trade of the firm is very large, it numbering among it omers manv of the best known families in San Francisco. The yards of the firm are located at the northeast corner of Vallejo and Battery streets. An immense stock capable of mecting every requirement is kept constantly on hand. About 75,- 000 tons of coal are annually handled by the concern. The president of the firm is J. C. Wilson, son of its founder; James B. Smith is vice president and manager and John R. Smith is the secretary. The directors are Mrs. Agnes Wilson, widow of Captain Wilson, and G. R. Lukens. The telephone is Main 1564, _——— The Count—Ah! ze English tongue, how eet ees drole!

To the tourist from every quarter of the globe who visits San Francisco there is one hotel with the name of which he is familiar and that is the Palace Hotel. Having in the past sheltered the crowned heads of many countries, heirs-apparent to many | powerful European and Aslatic thrones, representatives of the proudest aristoc- racy of Europe, Presidents of the United States, public officials of promi- nence and individuals famous in litera- ture, art and science, the Palace stands to-day among the famous caravan- saries of the world, and an institution of which every San Franciscan may well feel proud. In the magnitude of its equipment and the completeness of its magnificent service the Palace stands without a peer. Its superb court, its commodious apartments and its unrivaled cuisine have been repeatedly described, and each guest on returning to his home beyond the seas tells the story over again. Since the consolidation of the Palace and Grand Hotels the business | of the Palace has increased \\'nndcr-’ fully and at the present writing it/ shows no sign of diminishment. One of the principal features which | appeals to the traveling public more | than any other is the absolute safety against fire enjoyed by the guests of | the Palace. In the extensive improve- | ments made in the past five years, ‘ which virtually amounted to a rscnn-; struction of the interior of the hotel, \ every precaution was taken to render | the building absolutely fireproof. With this great consideration constantly in view every safeguard against fire was employed, so that to-day the Palace is the only absolutely fireproof hotel in San Francisco. The features which commend the Palace to the public are its superbly equipped grill room, its banquet rooms, in which many of the notables of the world have been dined, its splendid cuisine and matchless service. Its| suites are richly furnished, airy and | commodious and all of them are pro- | by vided with baths, a feature which| no other hotel in San Francisco possesses. The parlors of the Palaee are extremely rich in finish pointments and are not excelled in beauty and general artistic effect by | similar apartments in the palaces of Kensington or Berlin. No expense has been spared in securing the comfort of | guests, and the result is apparent in | the magnificent business which the | Palace and Grand Hotels to-day enjoy. | and ap- it was full of defects, many of the lea\esl being in fac-stmile, and the celebrated por- trait of Shakespeare being only a reprint. A complete and perfect copy such as is possessed by the Baroness Burdett- | would realize quite £1000 in the open_ market. M. EHRMAN & CO.
