CHAMBER OF COMMERCE..

The above is a picture of one of the
finest structures in the country. 1t will
be finished the latter part of the present
year, and dedicated near the close of the
Exposition. The plan of the building is
strictly Unitarian, the aim being to obtain
the greatest practical advantages for its
distinctive purposes that can be had
within reasonable limits of outlay. The
structure has been regarded as one of
permanent character, and the probabili-
ties of an enlarged speculation and an
advancing standard of civilized require
ments have not been overlooked. The
general plan of the building conforms to
the shape Of the lot (the site of the old
postofiee building at the southwest cor
ner Of Fourth and Vine), and is 100 feet
long by 100 feet wide. The angles at the
corners are rounded off, and from the
second story are carried mp in the form of

RAILROAD CHARITY.
An Instance Of the Liberaiity Of
the s. p.


An interesting incident occurred on the
arrival of the overland train from the
East yesterday. There was on board q
bright-eyed, intelligent French boy, oi
Is years of age, named Edouard Lahore
and who had just arrived from la belle
France. He could not speak a word oi
English, and as he appeared to be in
distress about something an interpreter
was obtained. Edouard said that he had
shipped at Bordeaux with ticket to San
Francisco, where he had some friends.
At New Orleans he obtained his railroad
ticket at the Office there, and got on
board the first train. He did not
know anything of the customs of the
country and consequently did not ex-
anime his ticket, which proved to be
only issued to Los Angeles. He had no
money to pay his passage on to the Bay
City and did not know where his friends
were so that he could communicate to
them his distress.
General Passenger Agent Goodman
was Immediately telegraphed the cir
cumstances connected with the case and
in response there came a message over
the wire, "Pass him up to San Fran
CISCO" The youthful Gaul was over
joyed when he was handed his ticket
and before he went the generosity of the
officials about the depot supplied him
with food and he boarded the train well
satisfied with the hospitality of his
adopted land.
