San Francisco is remarkably well equipped in respect to resorts where business men, mining men, society gen- tlemen, club members and bon-vivants daily gather to disci the affairs of | the day over the brimming glass, but none enjoys the widespread and envi- 1| able fame that attaches to the Grand Hotel bar, which is operated by E. J. Foster and “Ned” Fay under the firm name of Foster & Fay. These gentlemen, who are masters in their art, are deservedly popular among their patrons, who represent the best- known men in local business and min- ing circles. With the latter class the Grand Hotel bar has become a favorite rendezvous. The equipment of the bar is perfect in every respect, and all its appointments are elaborate and com- plete. z Mr, Foster was for vears connected with the Cliff House and “Ned” Fay was for thirteen years manager of the Palace Hotel bar. They have labored hard to please their patrons and suc- -ess has rewarded their efforts. —_——————— “Papa,” said Tommy Tredway. “Now, Tommy,” replied Mr. Tredway, @ P R R R ties a spanking chair will pe purchased tution At the Colorado State Reforma- tory the prisoners are strapped across a barrel when they are nking system for all penal institutions,” “I make no exceptions.

One of the leading contractors in San Francisco is James A. McMahon, the well known builder of wharves, bridges and massive structures of every de- scription, Mr. McMahon has been in business here for twenty-five years, and in that time has earned an envia- ble reputation in his line. Mr. McMahon has done a vast amount of work for the Harbor Com- missioners. . He constructed the Pa- cific-street wharf, one of the best and most substantial wharves ever built. The piles are incased in steel cylinders filled in with' concrete, by which the term of their serviceability is material- ly increased. Other notable achieve- ments of his are pier No. 12 of the Fol- som-street wharf and Broadway wharf 2. He also erected recently an im- mense beet-sugar plant at Salinas. Mr. McMahon has done an immense amount of bridge building, railroad grading and plling in various parts of the State. He is well and favorably known in consequence. —_————— The Occidental Hotel. One of .the best-known hotels in San Francisco, whose fame is deservedly world wide, is the Occidental, located on Montgomery street, between Bush and Sutter. It is especially popular among tourists from South and Central America and the Orient. Major Hooper, the genial proprietor. is in every way qualified to sustain the fine reputation hig institution has gained. Improve- ments made from time to time have rendered it essentially a family hotel, and in this respect it excels. Its ap- pointments are of the latest and best and its cuisine is justly celebrated for its superb quality. The service is first- class in every respect. Major Hooper is a respected Grand Army veteran, and his house is the recognized headquarters for the soldiers of the Rebellion, Many notable gather- honor which she deserved in the light Thomas—Yes. of her remarkable successes and none Bob—Don't you wish you were an disputed it. ironclad ?—Harper's Bazar.

The marvelous hand work of nature is seen at every turn- ing when new pictures unfold to the] view, prospects that rest the eye with their beauty and impress the soul with their sublimity. Mr. Bishop is reported to be the for- tunate possessor of many broad acres in California, but those who know best this busy and successful lawyer, whose indefatigable industry has been the subject of comment among his profes- slonal associates for years past, say that lovely Tecolote is the very apple of his eye, and that he longs for the day when he can take his well-earned rest beneath its lovely shades and along its beautiful beach listening to the music of “the far resounding sea.” B R R R R City Street Improvement Co. The leading bituminous rock paving concern on the Pacific Coast is the Improvement Company, the offices of which are located in the I*ay, 1891, and since that time its operations have extended all over the State. i Tire officers of the company are: J. and Colonel G. H. +Mendell, consulting engineer. The di- .. Dutard, C. B. Stone, T. B. Bishop, J. W. McDonald and W. . Dennison. The company makes a specialty of nison, secretary, 4 work, bridges and railway construc- tion, wharves, jetties and seawalls. It owns extensive bituminous rock mines at San Luis Obispo, Kings City, Mon- +4terey County, and Santa Cruz. The product of these mines is excellent and is held in the highest favor wherever used. 4 The confidence of the pubiic in the 4 City Street Improvement Company is *auesmd by the immense amount of work now being done in all parts of +the State. It is the only company in 4 the State which uses a five-ton roller and guarantees its work for five years. Quite recently the company paved 4 Market street with bitumen, and the +-excellence of the work has been the ¢subje:-1 of high comment by experts. The superior quality of this work has +demonstrated the utility of bitumen for +4baving purposes, and the result is that the output of the company’s mines has been largely- increased. The company has branch ofices at Oakland, Stockton, Sacramento and Marysville, in all of which cities it has performed extensive street work. Its operations in this city have been of that satisfactory character that in- sures a largely increased patronage during the coming year. —_——————— MURPHY, GRANT & CO. The Oldest and Best Known Dry Goods Firm on the Coast. Among the business concerns whose history is contemporaneous with the growth of San Francisco from village to metropolis is the dry goods house of Murphy, Grant & Co. at the corner of Bush and Sansome streets. Its exten- sive trade entitles it to the distinction of ranking among the largest dry goods concerns of the United States. The firm was established in 1851 by Eugene Kelly, J. A. Donohoe, Daniel T. Murphy and Adam Grant. In 1867‘ enlarged quarters were necessary, and in that year the firm removed to its| present location, where during the cur- | | rent year an additional stery to the | building and two electric elevators were | added. Its trade extends over the en- | tire coast, Central America, the islands of the Pacific, Australia, China and Japan. Its volume of business is the largest of any dry goods house west of Chicago. Among the business houses of San Francisco it stands in the front rank. ——— Cafe Royal Rilliard Hall. The favorite billiard hall in San Francisco, and in fact the only one| worthy the name, is the Cafe Royal, in the Flood building at the corner of | Fourth and Market streets. This popu- lar resort is managed by Messrs, Hornlein & Krumb with consummate ability, and they have succeeded in making it 4 model establishment of its kind. The Cafe Royal has many features which recommend it to the popular taste. The bar, one of the handsomest on the Pacific Coast, is equipped in excellent style, a: a speclalty is made of the best brews, which are kept on tap. Light lunches are served at all hours, day or night. Another fea- ture of the resort is the small com- partments — where gentlemen may en- Joy refreshments in private. Beautiful paintings adorn the walls, and, combin- ed with the superior furnishings, they serve to render the place highly attractive. To the manipulators of the ivories and those who enjoy the best liquid refreshments to be found in the city, the Cafe Royal possesses su- perior attractions. —_———— An Extensive Bookbindery. The well-known bookbindery of J. B. MclIntyre, located at 422 Commercial street, is confessedly the largest insti- tution in that branch of business on the Pacific Coast. Established about twenty-five years ago, its business has steadily increased from year to year, so that to-day it stands without a rival in the city. Mr. McIntyre is an expert in hig line, and he makes a point of looking after all of the multitudinous details of his business. It is this close attention to | affairs which has raised Mr. McIntyre's business to the eminence it has reached. | A specialty is made of fine ruling and bindipg of ledgers, journals and day- books. The facilities for the perform- ance of this work are unequaled. A large force of employes is constantly employed. —_—— ORIGIN OF THE MAGIC WORD “COCKTAIL" “Few people,” says a writer in Pear- son’s London Weekly, “are aware of| the origin of the magic American word ‘cocktail,’ the mere utterance of which is sufficient to bring a look of happi- ness to the features of ny wella-condi- tioned American citizen. The word comes from Mexico, where pulque, a kind of liquor obtained from the cactus, is the national tipple. The Aztec word for pulque is pronounced ‘octel,” and the American army which under Gen- eral Scott invaded Mexico some fifty years ago corrupted the word into ‘cocktail,’ and carried it back to the United States. “There is a tradition that pulque was discovered by one of Montezuma’s nobles, who sent it to the Emperor by the hand of his daughter Octel. The monarch tasted the liquar, looked at the maiden, smiled, and thereupon gulped it down. It not only tickled his palate, but touched his heart, and it is reported that he married the girl. From that day to this the Mexicans have kept themselves well supplied | with pulque, and when drinking togeth- ' er inyariably look and smile at one an- other before swallowing.” Yankees, the writer tells his English readers, have adopted a similar custom when imbibing their whisky, and fre- quently, when desirous of inviting a friend to take a drink, ask him to take a “smile.” ——— e More than 15,000,000 visits are pald an- nually to London pawnbrokers, or, to be more exact, 41,100 a day on an aver- age. The number of pledges deposited thréuzhout the country {s said to | amount to 190,000,000 every year. i Upon Which This Edition Is Printed Was Manufactured by the WILLAMETTE PULP »AND..
