DEAR HERALD: 1t is q trifle as
tonishIng how many Apgelefios
one meets in the city Of the Golden
Gate. It is impossible to take a
stroll on any leading thoroughfare
without encounteripg scores of
them. Perhaps one's attention is
attracted to the plump figure of
Major Ben G. Truman, who takes
pride, by the way, in keeping up
his residence in Los Angeles, where
he votes, il he votes at all. Next
the burly figure of Col. Bassett
looms up from the opposite curb.
with Gardiner In the dim peFspect-
i've. The Messrs. Wallace Wood
worth and J. de Barth Shorb are
soou encountered, and so goes the
experience of the live-long day.
There are quite number of our
people permanently settled here.
Major Truman and family are
domiciled at the Palace Hotel, and
the Major himself is engaged on
some work of local biographical
character, which the Bancrofts
will shortly issue. Capt. J. b.
Moore and wife, both of whom
many of our people Will remember
pleasantly, are settled in Frisco.
Capt. Moore is doing we'll, as so
clever and thorough gentleman
ought TO do. He is the purchasing
agent of the Battle Mountain Rail-
way, and proves himself a very
driving and efficient business man.
Tom Stackpole is engaged in busi-
ness under the Baldwin Hotel, in
partnership with Mr.. Levitt, late
Of Tucson, Arizona. Tom is maxi
ing hosts of friends here, as he does
everywhere. George Kimball is
connected with the San Francisco
Water Company and looks as fine
as silk, his numerous lady friends
will be glad to know. Sam Tuttle
has quit ranching in the neighbor-
hood Of Healdsburgh and occa-
sionally lends the light of his gen.
lal face to Pine street preparatory to
establishing other business connec-
tions. The irrepressible John Car
lin is pursuing here the same line
of Insurance business he carried on
in Los Angeles. Tom Scally was
encountered by us the other day;
and. altogether, it would take a
long inventory to give list of the
old time Angelei1os whom one
meets every three or four hours.
1 should not be forgiven were ]
to omit mention of pleasant and
reliable piece of social gossip. Our
late concitoyennes, Mrs. Philip and
her beautiful daughter, Miss
Blanche Crowly, have made their
home in q very pretty cottage in
this city. Miss Blanche is shortly
to be married to q talented and
prosperous young lawyer of San
Francisco.
Mr.. Hope, formerly connected
with the l.. A. & I. r. r., and Mr..
Buchanan, one Of the engineers
who surveyed the route to Inyo
county, were both encountered by
me yesterday. Mr.. Buchanan re-
sides in San Rafael, with his fam
lily. Mr.. Pease, also at one time
connected with that road, has
charge of the ticket office at the
Bush street theater. Like the
manager whom he serves, Locke,
he is the cream of courtesy and po-
likeness.
AMUsEMENTs-EME ROUSSEAU.
Speaking of Manager Locke
makes it pertinent that 1 should
say that that gentleman is coming
money hand over fist,' to use an
expressive but coarse colloquialism.
His share of the proceeds of the
Authors Carnival will be about
$4,000. But he is not obliged to rely
upon side shows for pecuniary sue
cess. His little theater can always
depend upon large audiences, be-
cause Locke seems to know how to
hit the public taste exactly "be-
tween wind and water" He is
now running the very best bur-
lesque troupe that has ever appear
ed on the Pacific Slope. 1.-THE
Magic Slippei," with Miss Eme
Rousseau, in the lending role, is
treat to be long remembered by
those who love broad fun. Miss
Rousseau really possesses an ex-
ceptionally fine voice and her
stage makeup is simply incompar-
able. She is one of the three or
four ladies on the stage who have
arms and figures remarkable for
their symmetry. Few women
could sustain the simplicity of the
earlier costume of Cinderella and
look as queenIy as she. While
Miss Rousseau is the leading attrac-
tion of the troupe, the lesser lights,
In any other combination, would
be stars of the first magnitude.
