0bsequies OF R. W. Risinu.

The funeral ceremony of R. w.
Rising, who died at the Clarendon
Hotel on Monday last, took place at
the Catholic Church yesterday morn
ing. Mr.. Rising was formerly clerk
in San Francisco. and was respected
and loved by all who knew him. He
came to this city on the 18th of No
vember last for the benefit of his
health, he being consumptive, since
which time he has been sick at the
Clarendon. He was attended upon by
the Sisters of Charity, who did all in
their power to make him as comfort
able as possible; and he was showed
every Kindness and attention which
the kind-hearted proprietor could show
him-the constant cndeavor of all be-
ing to make the place to him as much
like a home as faithful care could
make it. Before dying, Mr.. Rising
expressed his gratitude to the Sisters
OF Charity and to the proprietor of the
Clarendon for the kindness they had
ever shown him and the care they had
taken of him.

A dashing lDrseman and his steed

the rider was thrown heavily to the

done. Ride mole slowly is our advice.
III. HI. Bancroft has been in town for
several days past gathering up facts
for his new work on the early history
of southern California. Coming from
a gentleman of such ability the pro-
posed work will undoubtedly be very
valuable one.
The property owners on Main street,
between Temple Block and the Cath
Ollie Church, are talking of trying to
induce the Street Railroad Company
to extend their line as far as to the
Plaza. They ought by all means to do
this, as it would greatly increase the
value of property on the line of the
road.
During the month of February, the

An old friend who lives near the
Trinity boundary of Humboldt county
having read the statement of B. Nj.
Minor to the effect that as many as
1000 deer are killed yearly in Hum
boldt and Mendocino counties for their
hides alone, considers the statement
very mildly drawn. He believes that
in Humboldt, Mendocino and that por-
ton of Trinity lying between the
Humboldt line and Hay Fork valley,
at Least twice the number above stated
are killed annually for the value which
their tanned hides demand in the San
Francisco market, the carcasses being
left to waste where they fall. This
destruction is wicked, and it would be

to take the matter in hand. If the

Ahmed, an old gentleman living in
Trebizond, Asia Minor, has reached
his l38th year. He is a native of Ker-
assound, but has lived for many years
at Trebizond, and seems likely to con-
tinue living there indefinitely, for he
enjoys excellent health and spirits,
though he has long survived all his
relatives-a fact, says the Pail Mall
Gazette, which perhaps accounts in
some measure for his light-hearted-
ness. He has from his youth upward
been a strong advocate Of bodily exer-
else as a preservative of health. and
until quite lately has been in the habit
oftaking long 'constittuionalsp daily.
Ahmed is not the only instance of re-
markable longevity at -Trebizond.

Acme.


What did it mean2 This question was
asked thousand times on the streets
within the past three days, by those who
had observed the cabalistic word Acme"
posted on walls, on the pavements. on
trees, on everything. Indeed several
persons who had seated themselves on
dry goods boxes and stairways carried off
the device, and promenaded the streets
with the word Acme" plainly printed
in large letters Immediately behind them.
People became excited, and the police
were instructed to discover the meaning
of the curious word. All the efforts
of the police proved unavailing,
and Acme worried the city. Gentle
men and ladies wondered at it, and even
school children cried over it. Some
body offered a reward for the distributor
of the device, and many believed it an
other Tom Collins joke. Our sensational
reporter made raid after Acme and
found it not until this morning. when
about sunrise he discovered the horrible
word posted all over the front of E. G.
Barnabys gentlemen's furnishing goods
store, No. 81 Main street, under the
Peabody Hotel Our commissioner
walked into the store in order to find out
who had perpetrated this outrage upon
the clever proprietor Mr.. Barnaby in
formed our man that there was no ne
cessity for the city becoming excited, as
the word Acme was the brand of the
very finest and most popular shirt
ever brought to this market, and that be
was willing to furnish them to everybody
at the lowest prices. Now you know
what Acme is; so try it on, and when
you wear it, think of Barnaby.

beginning of their descent down the
happy voyage of life, the barque so
often mentioned as plying this stream
being improvised blythe aforementioned
feet little steamer. 1t is well to men
ton that the popular caterer of the

and that Captain George Malone is her
gallant commander. Between the
artistic skill of Morris, as designer of
palatable sweetmests, and Captain
George as an eloquent and howery
talker, CONNIE il faut, Mr. and Mrs
Riser were made to smile as cher
rily as well could be. The occasion
was the presentation by Captain Ma

maginfcence any similar sweetmeat we
ever beheld 1t was made by Mr. Her

brated for his skill in such matters.
There was little reception speech by
Mr.. Riser, and as a token of friendship
will be long rendered by him.
