Cashier Baldwin Dies.

CINCINNATI. Jan. 8. -Ammi Bald win.
late cashier Of Fidelity Bank, died sud-
denly at three O'Clock this morning at
his residence on Walnut Hills. Mr..
Baldwin was indicted with other officers
Of Fidelity. but for some reason his bond
was placed at $40, 900 and he was able to
secure bOndsmen and has not been In
jail. Theory of suicide so prevalent
down town has no support what
ever from the facts of Mr.. Bald
wins death. He died from effects
Of stroke Of paralysis. Years ago he had
a slight attack, and was obliged to take
rest for some time. On Tuesday night
he retired In his usual health, but yes
terdsy morning his family found him
lying unconscious. All efforts TO arouse
him failed. His physicians pronounced
1t case Of paralysis. He never regained
consciousness, but died early tbis morn
ing. Mr.. Baldwin was 5S years old.

From Tid.Bits.

A large number Of Chicago girls met
one evening last week for the purpose
OF forming Ladies' Anti-Slsng Socie-

and Miss Sadie De Pork elected presi-
dent. Before taking her seat she said In
3 clear, calm, well-modulated voice:
REALLY, girls, I'm too badly ratified
by the honor conferred upon me to give
you much Of my gufi. It's the first time
I ever tumbled to anything Of this sort
and hardly know just how to catch on.
However, I'll try to be sufficiently up to
snuff not to let any flies light on me
while doing the Observation-Disclosures
ty-act. I'm with you In this move, and
don't any Of you forget 1t. AL over our

plying like flies In sorghum time, and IL

FLUSH TIMES IN FRISCO"

$1,000.
From the San Francisco Examiner.l
Col. Mike Brannigan. the celebrated
guide and hickman OF FL Paso, Tex, Is
on visit to this city. Mr.. Brannigan
said yesterday:
81 have come back to San Francisco
for the purpose of seeing some OF my
friends Of the Argonaut days OF 1919,
that is, as many OF them as are alive.
can tell you some Interesting things
about early times In this city. owned
and drove the first hack that ever rum
bled over the streets Of San Francisco.
10 1851 got $50 night to drive Cathe-
rine Hayes, the famous singer, and her
mother, between the Razette house
and Tom Maguire'r theatre, which,
was then situated on Washington street,
between Montgomery and kearny. i
also got the same sum from several
others at the time for the same trip.
Those were good old days, and as
well, | suppose, rs very many others,
would wish TO see them back again. i
saw $1,000 paid for box In Maguire's
theater on the opening night OF Cathe-
rine Hayes season. A Limerick butcher
at Sacramento paid $1,000 for box when
she went to the capital city to sing.
Dollars In those days were more plenti-
full than nickels are now. When the
small steamers would arrive have seen
Q gambler give man an ounce of dust
Chat is (Sl6) for his place In the long
line Of anxious people waiting their
turn outside the old postofflce, which
was then at the corner OF Brennan place
and Clsy street. Then you would have
to pay Sl2 a dozen for articles to be
laundered, and men used to throw soiled
underolothing away and buy new ar
ticles rather than pay for washing.
81 remember when Lolita Crabtree
first appeared In this city. She used to
play banjo and dance jigs at Gilbert's
Melodeon at the corner OF kearney and
Clay streets, and got Sc a week. Think
that was In 1854 or 1856. She went to
Virginia City in 1860, and made hit.
Twenty-dollsr gold pieces were show
cred on the stage for her benefit. Ny
charges then ss hack driver were $50
day and all expenses paid. l would
like to see that state Of things again,
and he would have less complaints
about capitalists and the like. Every
body was q capitalist 10 the old days,
and II only few OF the wealthiest exist
now l don't know why they ought to be
blamed. We all had chance to be-
come millionaires, and II we did not, It
can't be helped, and there is no use re-
plDing.

from making counter charges against
him for perjury. They gave bond in the
sum Of $1,000 each to appear before the

The supreme court Of Indiana lately

Life Insurance company VS.. Talbot, that
where the assignment Of q mortgage
