been offered. In short in every part OF the
reception, the arrangements were carried
out in an admirable way, and the guests

joyment, and that of their friends. The
supper had been prepared with great

ing particulars of the death OF Mrs.
johnson, the lady who persisted by the
burning of Chamberlain hotel in Reno:
"She occupied the northeast corner
room in the attic, in the end where the
fire commenced. 1t did not reach her

helping hand. Adam Clark succeeded
in reaching her door and called to her to
come here" Which way! which
way" she frantically asked and began
cropping for him on her hands and
knees. Nearly overpowered he was com
PEELED to retreat without her, and only
escaped by crawling on his hands and
knees half the length of the hotel TO the
stairway, and the poor woman was LETT
TO her horrible fate. Many other at
tempts were made to save her but all
were futile, for the remorseless flames
had marked her for its victim, and 1t
had to be SO. Had she but have broken
open her window she could have had all

The Footlight is responsible for the
pun on our State Treasurer's
name: In hasty glance through our
State Treasurer's report, we noticed the
fact that out of the 50 200 allowed that
official for extra clerk hire, more than
one. half had been returned to the Treas
ury unexpended. The San Francisco
Call cites this as an anomaly without
