Hampshire when the murder was commit
ted, and says he can produce witnesses to
establish the fact that he was not even in
New England.

"FROBABLY there is no other COM
10y munity in the United States, all
HS*S things being considered, that could
furnish longer list of noted names than can
the city of San Francisco. There are o
great many causes combining TO make this
state of affairs possible. The peculiar cir
cumstances under which California was
settled and admitted to the Union could not
help but bring forth sturdy race of men,
who would make their mark upon the page
of time. All were young, reSolute and
determined to carve out for themselves q
place. if not in the temple of fame, place
in some system of safe deposit where they
would find nuggets of gold laid by for their
old age. The bone and sinew OF a new
country were furnished from the best ma
terial of older communities, and to this have
been added from time to time other factors
that have contributed to make California the
marvellous commonwealth that she is. 1t is
with great satisfaction that The CALL
places before its readers the faces and brief
biographies of some of the men who have been
identified with what is best and highest in
our business and social life.
1t is not to be supposed that THE CALL
has reached the end of its list of prominent
society ladies. By no MEANS but since there
