OBITUARY..
jefferson Coolidge.

Brief mention of the death of Mr.. yJeffer-
son Coolidge was made yesterday In these
columns. Born in Canton, this State, April
10, 1903, in that portion of the town which
was once part of Jay, he entered early in
life upon mercantile career, and settling In
Livermore at once identified himself with
the business and social interests of the
town.
He was one of the charter members of
Oriental Star Lodge of Masons, and for
years transacted a large and successful mer-
camille business. In 1854 he moved with his
family to this city, where with his younger
brother, Merritt, he continued in the grocery
and flour trade, occupying for years the
large stores at the head Of Atlantic wharf at
the foot of India street, where one OF the
ocean steamship sheds now stands. In 1875
he retired from active business, living quiet
ly until death closed long and honorable
career.
A widow and five children, two sons and
three daughters, mourn the loss of kind
and indulgent husband and father.
He was member of the Aged Brother

A BO stOn Sight.

The following incident of diamond

restaurant the other day. An acquain-
lance of the writer was seated at one
of the tables enjoying his MONDAY
lunch. 1t was somewhat near the
closing part of the dinner hour. and,
as frequently is the case, some of the
articles of the daily fare were about ex-
hausted. A late customer entered the
restaurant and took seat at the Same
table with the gentleman first noted.
This late arrival, evidently in some
what of hurry, gave his entire order
al the one time, but rs soon as the
waiter had returned with the same he
was chagrinned to see that cold bread
was served him instead of the warm
biscuits he expected, the stock of the
latter having run out However. not
to be deprived of the luxury desired.
he unceremon iously reached across the
domain of the earlier diner, picked up
the solitary biscuit that yet remained
on the latter's plate. and commenced
to eat it. whereupon the other. not to
be outdone in the matter of a good
reach and the ability to employ it. ex-
tended his arm, gathered in the piece
of pie that belonged to the original
offender. and proceeded to regale him
self. THAT is my pie. sirT' came the

followed. only broken BY the patter of

floor. 1t was clear case of 'dia mond

An Indian Relic,

George w. Howard, of Sloan has
laid upon our table another relic of the
aborigines in the shape of a sharp
pointed hammer made of rock. The
specimen before us is the greatest
curiosity in the line we have yet seen.
1t is about five and one-half inches
long and in the thickest part an even
inch through. gradually taperiug either
way to point. 1t is made of hard
granite, and the most remarkable
thing about 1t is that 1t has q hole
bored or drilled through the center,
evidently where the handle went in.
This hole is perfectly made. being
larger at one end than at the other.
As the Indians had no implements of
steel or iron, the mystery is. how was
this hole drilled SO perfectlyP 1t seems
utterly impossible to have accomplished
the work with another rock without
shattering both TO pieces The ham,
MGR, or whatever it is. was found by
Mr.. Howard in Warren county

Blowing in the Slot,

was in a crowd of hotel loungers up
town the other night, and the discus.
sion turned upon beating" the weigh
ing machines which respectfully re-
quest that nickle be put into the slot
The quiet young man said. soberly:
"Why put in anything? Blow into the

he fastened his mouth over the slot,
and, putting out his cheeks. threw a

Sure enough the old thing worked

''Well, l declare. said the man.

easy"
So they all tried ii; pulled and blew
and distended their cheeks until every
one of them was tried; but it didn't
work.
That's funny" and the young man

again worked nicely.

The Furs Of the Coming Season.

Inc urS OF C00 coming Season.
Although this is to be essentially
silk and satin season, with rough
faced clothes for outer garments, furs
will be favored by all who can afford
them. Fur caps will be more popular
than they have ever been. and the wo-
man who is so fortunate as to have q
fur cape from last season will be glad
to know that 1t fits in exactly with the
Directoire style of dressing. Seal will
be greatly worn, especially in the form
of capes. No lady who has sealskin
jacket wrap, or cape is likely to give
it away because sable Is the more fash
ionable fur.
OF all furs sable is the most expen-
sive, and it must necessarily be fur
in which only the rich can indulge.
A very ordinary sable muff costs
$780, and one of particularly fine Sc
lected fur of the large size now FASH
ionable. costs from $500 to 81, 600.
Lest any one should be startled by
these figures, IL may be we'll to men,
ton that a Chestnut street firm have
made a sable muff for Philadelphia
lady this season at cost of $500.
Chinchilla is in style again. but no
fur will be as fashionable for trimming
as astrakhan. The greys in which it
comes and the black, which predomi-
mates, make it especially adopted as a
trimming for the dark and neutral
shades of cloth to which the ladies of
Philadelphia SO persstently ADHERE.

UNDERGROUND CHAPEL.
In Interesting Discovery in an Old
Mine in Northern Mexico.

Interesting Discovery in an Old
Mine in Northern Mexico.
An interesting discovery has
been made in an old Spanish
mine on the property of the
Corralitos Cattle and Mining
Company, on the Casa Grande river. in
Northern chihuahua, an immense es-
tate belonging to Ell Paso and New
York parties. The mine is called the
San Pedro, and there is on it an old
incline going into the m ountain at an
angle of forty-five degrees and evil
IDENTIFY following the richest ore streak
in zigzag manner. At the end of
this machine a subterranean chamber
was found which had been fashioned
evidently with great labor and trouble
into a regular Catholic chapel. The
chamber is some thirty feet in d.
ameter and about twenty feet high.
Seats have been cut from solid rock
running all around the chapel. and so
has been an altar and pulpit. The
whole was found neatly whitewashed,
and presents peculiar and weird as
pect. The ancient chapel could be used
at a moments notice as place of wor-
ship.
A tradition is found TO exist among
the natives living in the heighborhood
that many years ago a regiment of
Spanish cavalry was stationed at tho
preside Janos. some twenty-five miles
distant from the mines, and that the
Indians disclosed the existence of the
mine to the priest, who was in spiritu-
al charge of the regiment. This priest
went into partnership with the colonel
and they employed the soldiers of the
command in the working mine. which
was found exceedingly rich. After
while complaints were made about
this enforced labor at headquarters in
Spain. and the colonel was called home
to answer the charge. Before leaving.
he and the priest divided the silver, and
the coloners share was suffic emit to
load eighty mules, which he took with
him across the country to Vera Cruz,
where he took ship for SPUN.
The whole country adjacent to tho
Casa Grande and Santa Maria r.vers
full of objects of interest to the arch
biologist and naturalist. Prehistoric
ruins are found everywhere. many of
them clearly trceable to the Aztecs, but
others evidently antedate any anthem
tic record of history. A richer field of
and investigation can not
be found anywhere in North America.
