CAREER | | | | | | | { | | | | i | | | | | | > HOMAS BROWN, for many years cashier of the Bank of California, | died at his residence, 1019 Bush street, at 8 o'clock last night. For several days his condi- tion has been considered critical. He has been alling since last June and his health has constantly failed. He has had. the best of care, but his ad- wvanced years were against his recovery. His death takes away from San Francisco ore of its best known citizens and finan- | clers. Five daughters, the Misses Mary, | Alice, Grace, Mattie and ILizzie Brown, | and Dr. Page Brown of Santa Cruz and a grandson remain to mourn his death. | Mrs. Brown, who was Miss Mary Leon- ard of Kentucky, died a few years ago. Thomas Brown was born in Washington County, Pa., en the 27th day of March, 1824. His youth and young manhood were passed in that locality. The bustle of the then rapidly growing West and the runiors of opportunities afforded by the rapidly ~ déveloping resources of newer lands early attracted him to St. Louls. There he made his home for some time. {He was connected with the banking house of Page, Bacon & Co. in St. Louis at the time that William Tecumseh Sher- man, afterward lleutenant general of the | United States army, was the manager of the business of that concern in San Fran- cisco. Large projects were then afoot. BANKING FIRM FAILS. To one of these enterprises Thomas Brown owed the next move that he made, | although he had no part in the events {that rendered the change necessary. | Railway construction was supposed to be | the open gateway to wealth. The soil was rich farther west in a virgin country. Large freights seemed assured and the | profits of construction seemed also to be | reasonably certain. Page, Bacon & Co. | entertained the idea that they could add to their resources by becoming -raiiroad builders. The speculation proved to be mistaken. - The bankers got beyond their depth and their house went down. But Thomas Brown had acquired valu- able experience in that period, which | stood bim in good stead in his future life. | He was ambitious, ardent, enterprising. He pushed out into the then new field of Mexico. The mineral wealth of the South- ern republic engaged his attention. He traveled through Mexico, prospecting and doing business. Meanwhile California | had established its reputation as a steady ]guld producer, whose resources seemed boundless. Times were flush, money was plenty and the future of the community Leside the Golden Gate seemed to be very bright. To Mr. Brown opportunities were apparent. In 1867, having come to city shortly before, he was made as- ant cashier of the Bank of California. HAD WIDE ACQUAINTANCE. His connectlon with that financfal insti- tution continued without interruption to the time of his death, a period of thirty- five years. In that iong term of years great financial projects went through in this State. The Bank of California was a ‘leading factor in effectuating many of them. Thomas Brown was cashier of the Positions for All Who Are Competent. Young men and young women fighting their own financial battles through life cannot invest a few dollars more judi- ciously than in the tuition for a course at a good commercial night school. A few months’ study of bookkeeping, shorthand and typewriting, arithmetic, penmanship, | ete., will enable young men and women | to fill lucratiye positions. Heald’s Busi- | ness College Night School affords unex- celled educational opportunities for those ! who are employed during the day. Few young ;ersons realize the benefit they would derive from employing their even- ings in_a school of this kind. Any edu- cational deficiencies can be easily amend- ed, as the instruction is largely indi- vidual. There are free evening schools that profess to teach our branches, but | there is a vast difference in the results | attained. In the other schools a large ! number of pupils are assigned to each teacher, and consequently the’i:hrecelve | little if any personal attention. e night courses of commercial and English train- ing at this Night School are of the most practical character and qualify young Eeople for positions in the best business ouses. Foreigners studying the English branches and students preparing for the | civil service examination receive special attention. . ————— Amends Original Complaint. Andrew W.

In the capacity of cashier he was in continual touch with the financial transactions of the State and of the en- tire country, so far as they related to this coast. His acquaintance was widely extended. His reputation for probity and the shrewdness and ability that he mani- | fested strengthened his bank and tacfll—l tated large undertakings. Mr. Brown became connected with va- rious large corporations as director. He assisted in the councils of the Spring Valley Water Company as a director. He was a director of the Merchants’ Ex- change. Other corporations to a large number had him as a member of their directory at one time or another. The bankers of California elected him presi- dent of their association. He made him- self felt in that position as he had in others. NOT A POLITICIAN.

Harloe will be navigating officer. tivity, he never was prominently con- nected with political affairs. He was con- nected with one or more fraternal or- ders. He was a member of the Pacific Unlon Club. His attentlon was largely directed to business affairs. After thirty- five years of service in one bank he was actively engaged until within two months of his death, at the age of 77 years, and hlhfi counsel was always considered valu- | able. | His life was not without reverses. Sev- eral of his children died. He had the us- ual share of griefs that attend long life. Sturdiness of character, abstemious liv- ing and strict attention to the business in hand made him useful to the end. For a long time his memory will remain green in the minds of the business men of San Francisco, who, better than any one else, Cannot Construct Ferry. The Supreme Court decided yesterday that there can be no joint ferry between Sacramento and Yolo counties. Bridges may be built jointly by countles, but when it comes to ferries, no warrant for their Jeint establishment can be found in the | statutes. The two countles mentioned | made arrangements for the construction of a ferry, which was to cost $5000. Wil- bam Johnston, a taxpayer of Sacramento County, objected to the improvement and the dispute had to be carried to the high- | est court for settlement. DED DD D f Low Rates to St. Paul.
