Probably no hotel or boarding house on
the Pacific Coast, and few, doubtless. in the
United States, can make as remarkable a
report as comes from lady who has taken
boarders for more than quarter of a century
sion of the house which she now occupies,
and two months after there came to her as a
lodger and boarder, a man who has been
her constant customer ever since. In the
twenty six years he has taken not to exceed
n dozen meals outside the house he entered
when the city was yet an infant, aud has
occupied the same bed nightly during all
these years, excepting on three occasions.
In addition to this person who took mp his
home with her when he was yet in the flush
of manhood, and whose hair she has seen
turn to silver under her roof, the lady has
another boarder who has been with her
for twenty -four years, another whose well
fare she has looked to for sixteen years, one
of fourteen years standing, and one OF
eleven years. Truly'a most extraordinary
thing in boarding house annals, and which
can suggest only that this mistress has been
most indulgent one and that her table has
been inviting above that of those generally
met with.

hogs up they were put in vat and flied
out. officer @. W. Bennett testified to the
same effect, saying that the hogs were fried
without being cleaned. The lard SO made
did not look as clear and white as healthy
lard. James Kirwan, the complaining wit
ness, testified to seeing many hogs that had
