THE CITY.



- SAN FRANcIsoo, March I, 1888
II "cometh in as q lion, and goeth out
a. q lamb" counts for anything. the
first Spring month Of 1888 will verify
tne adags 30 far as this city is con-
csrned. The past two days have been
dry aud windy--w windy just expresses
it. the streets were dry and dusty and
tue pedestrian has heen treated to I'M
pleasant little whirlwinds that would
gather up dust and debris into mass
aud fling it squareIy into ones face, in
a worse manner than does an old finder
box threshing machine Of Lsmoille VAL
ley. It commenced to rain about mid
hour, and that we will have wesk of
vet weather In now the promise. It is
to be hoped that March will not lose
her grip but 60 out as lamb ss the
Hdage predicts.
There wan trouble In the Baldwin
cafe this morning, all arising from the
fact that the lucky millionaire, horse
man. miner. rancher and hotel proprie-
tor saw fit to add to the beauty of that
we'll known bar. by placing therein two
of those neat and pretty money regis-
ters; these drawers are o new contriv-
Hnce that registers every purchase,
and the change once dropped into its
Golfers cannot be taken out, except by
tue boss, and when opened by him will
be found the days receipts. and the total
amount thereof duly registered. "Bil-
ly." and the other young men 80 long
connected with the place and personally
we'll known to Ievada's colony here,

Fred Wilson registered at the Bald
win during the week, and when the pn-

plenty.

time to eat and sleep.
