For the Benefit of His Creditors.

SAN FRANCISCO, September 17.-Ju1ius
Baum & Co., wholesale clothers, No. 8
Sansome Street, assigned to Solomon
Sweet to-day for the benefit OF his credI-
tors.
The firm is one of the oldest and Iarg-
est in the city. 1t consists of Julius
Baum, Henry SchrieF. who resides here,
and Morris Schrier, of New York. The
failure was totally unexpected, and has
caused much surprise among business
men. Liabilities are estimated all the
way from three-quarters to 81 900 900.
No accurate information on this head
is yet Obtainable, as the assignee saws
he has not had any opportunity to ar
rive at anything like correct estimate
end the resident members of the firm
positive refuse to say anything. It is
generally believed, however, that the
assets ar quite equal to the liabilities,
and that the firm will be able to paw
dollar for dollar. The cause of the fail
ure is even greater mystery than the
amount Of indebtedness; even those
persons, mo>tintimately acquainted with
the firm are utterly unable to assign
any reasonable cause for it. Mr.. Baum,
the senior member, has for many years
Oeen considered q very wealthy man,
his private means being estimated as
high as $500, 900. He occupies hand
some residence on Van Ness Avenue,
and owns real estate valued at $500 900.
Ten months ago the firms balance
sheet showed a surplus of assets over
liabilities of $500, 600. Their business
sluce then has apparently been pros
porous. 1t is, therefore, believed that
some heavy speCulations not connected
with the business of the house must
have caused the assignment. It is
stated that Mr.. Baum has of late been
heavy borrower at the banks, but to
what use the money has been applied
is not known. The principal cred
itors IN this city are London,
Paris & American bank, Daniel
Meyer, Bank of California and Sather
Il Oo., private bankers. AN of these
banks are, however, said 81 be well Sc
cured, and their losses, il any, will be
light. The record Of real estate trans
actions to-day shows conveyance by
the gift OF Julius Baum to Sadie Bauer,
of lot on Van Ness Avenue south of
Bush Street, and the sale of some prop
erty by Sadie Bauer and her husband to
Louis Sloss. 1t is explained that Sadie
Bauer is Mr.. Baum's daughter, and the
property was given to her q year ago,
and subsequently sold by her and her
husband to Louis Sloss, but the trans
actions were not placed on record at the
time. Several days must elapse before
a statement Of assets and liabilities can
be given.

He left Alaska shortly after the sci

that the master of the vessel admitted
having killed his catch OF seals along
the shores of the Sea Islands, These
predatory sealers. he says. make a
praCtice of stealing ashore under cover
OF fogs and clubbing seals. which re
then tossed into boats and conveyed on

numbers OF seals are also shot i'll the
sea and this practice is particularly de

To the Public:
The City Cornell of Charleston, at its

Whereas. a terrible calamity has be-
fallen Charleston, vast and widespread
IN the lyss it inflicts, far greater in
effect then was at first realized, and
Whereas, 1t is evident that liberal
and spontaneous assistance which has
come TO us from all parts of this coun-
try and from England, and which is
deeply appreciated and gratefully &C.
knoWledged by our people, will be
wholly insufficient to meet our une1-
pected exigeBcies.f
Be it Resolved, That the Mayor be re-
Quested TO prepare and issue an address
to the public, setting forth our condi-
ton and Invoking additional aid for
this stricken city. In making known
to the general public this elaboration of
the municipal government as to the con-
dition of our city at this time, it seems
to me unnecessary that l should
add any words of my own
The unfortunate facts are before the
country by statements of disinterested
visitors fro different parts of iceland
after personal observation, and are
known here and deeply felt. ask the
press Of the United States to give this
proclamation the benefit Of its far-reach-

The Mail Delivery of tho Future by the
Pneumatic Tube.


"In 1886 such a thing as a postman
or n carrier walking ten or fifteen
ours day delivering mail matter will
never be heard of, for the simple reason
there will be none in existence then"
remarked scientific man the other
day TO a New York Mail and EJprcss
reporter.
GLOW will the mail be deliveredg'
Everything will be reduced 10 fine
system, aud n letter will be delivered in
three seconds after its arrival In the
postonlcc. Each house In big city
will be connected with the general post
office or branch station, as the case may
be, with pneumatic tube large enough
TO carry a good sized package. At
present such system of delivery can.
not be put into practice because IL
would be too expensive. A century
hence civilization will rise TO such
high and prosperous point that sys.
TEN of quick delivery by means of
pneumatic tubes will certainly be in
vogue. 1t could be done now,
only It would bankrupt a city. The
tube from Tweniy-third street to the
Western Union building shows how
nicely IL works. A letter or tclc-
graphic message takes just two seconds
to 90 the two and a half miles. The
quickest means of transit are sure TO
be adopted in the long run. 1t is the
evolution of progress, and nothing can
stop 1t short of the universe. Not
only will private houses have their
tubes, but all of our large cities will be
pnCumatically connected. Chicago
will be perhaps ten seconds by letter
from New York and San Francisco a
minute or so. 1t will change a great
many things and do away with the
steam cars us u mail carrier. The sys.
ten Is yet in its infancy. New York
will by that time have new system OF
sewers, much better than Paris now.
and the tubes can be run along In
them instead of having to dig
up the earth, as is the case with gas
and steam pipes at present The post
age on letters will not be onG-twGnticth
what it is and the expense TO the Gov
crnmcnt will be less. OF course the
deliveries will have to be regulated to
so many during the day. Say five or
ten in the morning and that number in
the afternoon and evening. And yet
human nature is so constructed that
even with such improved facilities |
believe many kickcrs could bc found
who would protest against the limited
number Of deliveries or against the
slow time. All these things will come
TO pass, and it takes no prophet to
plainly see the handwriting on the
wall. The overworkcd carriers will
have long rest"

Cooler weather Expected.

The Signal Office predicts that the heat
to-day will be about as yesterday, very little
change, If any. At o'clock this morning
the thermometer at this point stood at 13o;
st. Louis, i9'; Chicago, 10; Galveston, 7G';
Portland, Me, 70'. Eleven o'clock this
morning tie mercury had reached SO, aud
will run up togO' hy o'clock. 1t will he
warner here to-day than any 9sth Of Aug
ust during the past four years. For the
.S,h OF August, 1883, the meau temperature
was di'. for lSsl, I6'; for 1855 81, and for
to-day will tie SO'. The only hope for
change In the weather that the signal OF
fee could extend this morning was that
little thunderstorm was mlncuverug
around up in Michigan to-day and might
possibly reach here In the next few days.

yesterday morning at the age of a years
He was n native Of Ireland, but lived ia this
city nearly all Of his life. For mIny years
he was one Of the trustees OF the Washing
ton City Savings Bank, and was president
Of the Second National Bank from 1872 TO
1877, In 1870 and 1871 he was the auditor
Of the city, and always took an active inter
est IN the afTairs of the District.
John Pettibone, an old citizen Of Wash

i streets last Wednesday night at the age
Of 20 years. He was one Of the original
members Of the Washington Light lnfan-
try, making the first parade with them
September IL, 1896, and always took a
lively interest in military affairs, at one
time being an officer Of the Presidents
Mounted Guard.
The funerals of both take place to-mor-

To my mind, the very best definition of
the quality Of frugallty, or economical man
agement of your incomings and outgoings,
was that given by Mr.. Henry Pulteney to an
inquisitlve young lady: "Thrlft, my DEAR"
he said, sis simply this: We will suppose
that the weather is very hot; that you have
the door of an inn, and that 1t occurs to
you that, next to a cup of nectar, pint of
beer would be about the incest thing In the
world. Have half pint of beer. That is
thrift, ~ London News,

CITY SPECIALS.

Another of those delightful August OK
ll sions TO the wonderful Caverns OF Luray
viii take place on Sunday next, August 90,
and will be In all respects like the others
lrstclass and truly enjoyable. The pop
lar verdict OF these excursions is that they
are the best ever organized, and surely the
select parties that 20 is true indorscment
Of this fact. The fare of only k3 80 (Which
includes admission to the caverns and re-
served scat in cars is a very insignificant
sum when the beauties OF the caverns
and scenery en- route is taken into consii-
Grafton, and there is no excursion from
this or any other city which the
participant so heartily enjoys. The won
dcrs OF the caverns are numerous, and the
brilliant rays Of the electric light brings out
their beauties until the behoider is amazed
at the wonderful works of nature. The
natural formations cannot be described, and
an idea can only be formed by visit. The
fare Is 1850, which includes admission to
the cavcrns and reserved seat In the car.
