Mrs. Goodwin playfully tapped the judicial elbow and laughed a tinkling laugh at the judicial pun. “He asked about our business and I showed him our smallpox demonstrator and our chicken-pox demonstrator.

But for the prompt work of bers of the Fire Department dence of M. H. de Young at fornia street would have been destroyed by fire yesterday morning. Mr. de Young detected the fire in the theater which adjoins the mansion and the servants at- tempted to extinguish the flames. Word was sent to engine No. 15, which is in the vicinity, and within a few minutes the firemen had a stream playing on the burning structure. The firemen were successful in their efforts to confine the blaze to the theater and thus saved thousands of dollars’ worth of rare bric-a-brac and works of art. During the progress of the fire plate glass from one of the skylights fell in and severely cut the hands of Battalion Chief Conlon and Ed Morant of engine No. 15. The furnishings in the theater were very handsome and were practically ruined by the water poured on the burn- ing building.

Mrs. Elliot was a smallpox dem- onstrator. The left hemisphere of her countenance looked 1%:ic a ragged piece of canton flannel, but beyond the meri- dian of her nose there glowed the blush of a spring peony. Judge Cabaniss had the great misfortune to sit on the “be- fore using” side and requested the wit- ness to look him in the eye from time to time as a gentle sedative. At last the gathering gloom began to veil the specimens of the beauty doctor's handicraft and Judge Cabaniss announced that he was going to Napa to take the rest cure and would not listen to the case for at least ten day: MEETS FEARFUL DEATH | IN BOILING TAR VAT Thomas Kelly, Employed at Risdon Iron Works, Falls Into Scald- ing Mixture.

He also called their attention to the condition of affairs in the office of County Clerk Ma- hony, and in this connection said: During the past few months, gentlemen, an investigation has bee in progress into the affairs and accounts of the office of County Clerk of this city and county— an investigation made at the direction of the Board of Supervisors and conducted by an ex- pert and by the Deputy County Clerk, E. J. Casey, who s charge of the probate depart- ment of the ounty Clerk’ office. It ha: been discovered by this mnvi gation that thes are due to the city and ounty for services rendered by the County Clerk during a period extending over at €t the last nine yeays, a great many thousands of dollars; the exact amount runs into large figures. It ls belleved that much of this money ls collectable.

In an address that spar- kled with humor and vivid reminiscences Mr. von Rhein recounted incidents of his travels in Indla, Japan and the islands of the East. The lecturer prefaced his remarks by some general advice to prospective trav- elers. He said: “I am asked very many times what is the cost of forelgn travel. I would reply that $10 a day is the minimum expendi- ture for those who desire to travel in comfort. Many do the ‘grand tour' on less, but they have to sacrifice much of their enjoyment by so doing.” Continuing, the speaker gave a vivid account of life in Calcutta, Madras and Ceylon, showing the peculiarities of the Parsees and the Hindoos, and dwelling upon the magnificence of the courts of the Ask your 16 he cannot supply the MARVEL, accept no other, but send stamp for fllus- trated book—scaled.
