bids fair to restore the family cogno-

the life OF his illustrious ancestor.
A Nssnblo Arrival.
The United States war vessel Kea-
sarge, whose guns gave such o good
account of the .4labama, steamed into
port this morning from Honolulu.
| Captain Winslow, who commanded
the ship during that worldwide famous
action, Is now at Mare Island, and her
present Commander, John S. Thorn-
ton, was q lieutenant on board at the
time of the battle. He Is the only Of
ficer who participated in the engage
ment yet remaining with the vessel.
mseney's Bank.
That bank of Moneys Is blessed
with a vitality that nothing seems able
to destroy. Instead Of being in the
last throes Of dissolution, its Directors
assert that everything Is financially
lovely and that Its assets more than
balance its liabilities. Tho elasticity
Of those assets is almost Incompetent
sible. They stretch under the Direc-
tors manipulations to any desired OK
tent, while tho liabilities have all
equally rs curious habit Of contracting.
The object Of this maneuyering Is to
induce the depositors to let them run
the concern for another twelyemonth,
instead Of proceeding to wind up In
bankruptcy. BY the former method
the Directors will be able to swallow
the oyster, BY the latter the lawyers.
and In either case the creditors Will
get a fair share Of shell.
The Odd Fellows College.
The competition for the possession
of the Odd Fellows College still con-
tinues, Sacramento and San Rafael
having, since l last wrote, sent in very
liberal bids for the prize. San Jose
has increased her offer to NJ equivalent
of 1920. 900; but, seeing how DESTROYS
the interior towns are to be selected as
the location Of the proposed institu-
ton, it would be a good plan for the
Odd Fellows to wait a while and try
If some of these would not build and
endow q suitable college.
Bad Whisky.
1t has long. been an open question
where the worst whisky could be pro-
cured, the majority agreeing that it
would be somewhere on the Barbary
Coast, though others inclined to the
saloons on the city front. 1t turns out
that both are wrong, and that the City
and County Hospital, of all places In
the world, can carry off the palm for
the most miserable brand. The vilest
kind of stuff, worse than the worst tar
antula juice ever sold in 4 mining
camp or hurdy saloon, has been fur.
nished BY the contractor for Hospital
use, at prices that ought to have COM
manded the best Bourbon and Hen
messy In the market. The Board Of
Health appeals to the Board Of Super
yisors to Investigate the matter, and
the City Fathers have sent for n SAM
pie of the stuff, and will sit In judg-
mcnt Oh 1t next Monday night.
DreViiies.
1t costs $50 to burn 4 rat alive In
San Francisco. That was what IL
Levy had to pay yesterday for the
amusement.
Senator Stewart is stopping ut the
Lick House, Senator Casserly at the
Cosmopolitan, and Senator Cole will
tonight complete the trio by putting
up at the Grand.
"Wakc me up when Moneys
found" Is the loealine that has sup
planted the old wake me up when
Kirby dies"
What becomes of the old sailors?-
has for years been All unanswerable
question. Ninety-five poor, time
logged tars have found anchor in the
City Alms-housc, and there sail their
ships over again.
The total amount realized by the
French Fair Is $70,Bi7.
