The Paralytio In San Francisco Not ths
Missing Seattle Man. &
few days ago an article appeared in the
PosT-lNTRLLIGENcgR stating that in San Fran
cisco . man had been found pxraly red and
taken to the hospital. This parslytic could not
talk, but several who knew Of the mysterious
disappearance Of George De Graf from thfsrify
formed the theory that the man In the San
Francisco hospital Was De Graf. and that tho
fact that De Graf had not communicated with
his friends here was thus explained Mr..
Joshua Wrestling. attorney for Mrs De Graf, &C.
coroingly telegrsphed to the chief Of the
San Francisco police to have certain persons in
San Francisco who had known De Graf visit the
man 1t the hospital. This course was accord
iugiy pursued, and yesterday Mr.. Wrestling 70.
ceived . dispatch stating that the paralytic was
not De Graf
This clue having failed, no further knowledge
OF the mans whereabouts has reached this

The Golden Casket,s Contents.

The Germans have story which the
home LOVING people love to repeat. A
father, when his daughter became a
bride, gave her golden casket with the
injunction not to pass itinto other hands,
for it held charn which in her keeping
would be of inestInable value to her as
the mistress of the Louise. Not only was
she to have the entire care of it, but she
was to take it every morning to the cell
lar, the kitchen, the dining room, the
library, the bed room, and remain with
it in each place for five minutes, looking
carefully about. After the lapse of
three years the father was to send the
key, that the secret talisman might be
revealed. The key was sent. The cas-
ket was opened. 1t was found to con-
tain an old parchment, on which was
written these words: The eyes of the
mistress are worth 100 pairs of servants
hands. The wise father knew that the
practice of the inspection followed faith
fully for three years would become a
habit and be self perpetuated-that the
golden casket and the hidden charm
would have accomplished their mission.

Parnum,s unlque aorilla.

Colonel Hager, who is boss side show
man and a collector of oddities, curios-
tiles, and freaks. says:
"There is no live gorilla in the United
States, and there never was one. Any
Snowman who says to the contrary tells
what he knows to be false. In the first
place it is almost impossible to capture a
live gorilla. The animal is devilish sly
and can't be fooled. In the next place,
if one was captured doubt if he could
live in this country. The gorilla has had
good deal of fun poked at him, but he
has the most delicate constitution of
anything that crawls, walks, flies, or
swims
Didn't Barnum once advertise that
he had one ?" was asked.
Yes, but he got fooled on it He had
offered large amount of money for a
live gorilla and his gents secured gorilla
land to get one. Somebody finally
caught what he thought was a gorilla
and shipped it to Barnum in New York.
AS soon as the old man heard of it he
advertised the fact in big type in every
paper in New York. The day the ami
NAL arrived and was on exhibition the
fact was placarded all over the city.
There was an old man in town who had
lived many years in the country where
the gorilla exists. He went in to see the
new arrival. and, after looking at it, said
to Mr.. Barnum:
@'Thats no gorilla. No gorilla has a
tail.
"'But,' said the qu < witted show
man, this gorilla has a tail, and it is the
only one that ever was known to have
one.
However, that didn't make the ami
NAL gorilla, just the same, for there
never was a live e rilla in this country.

women at the bar.

The American female bar is just now
receiving its first substantial boom. The
novelty of the situation is wearing of;
the pre- iudice in the common mind against
the woman lawyer is disappearing; the
law departments in the colleges and uni-
versities are opening to her; there has
come a demand for her services in every
substantial legal firm, and the woman
herself has learned that the profession is
not only possible and practical, but ele-
waiting and remunerative. To draft the
will or take the Acknowledgements or
ante-mortem examination of the dying
woman her presence is especially well
come. In drafting the details of bills OF
sale, taking an inventory of household
goods, reading the records Of real estate,
drafting and recording deeds, she is also
skillful Illustrated American.

Ambitious New York.

The needs of New Workers and of their
constant army of guests for new hotel
of such perfection and size-above all,
size-as to deserve being called "the pal
ace hotel of America, is never more
thoroughly understood than now, when
several new candidates for public favor
are presented and when several hotels,
notably the Astor caravansaries, are pro-
iected. A new hotel at 32d street and
Broadway is nearly completed, and am
other, at Both street and 9th avenue,
will be soon. "New York needs badly, !"
said Chief Clerk Carr, who has been in
charge of the Fifth Avenue desk ever
since the Fifth Avenue Hotel was opened
in 1859, "a hotel which in size, as well
as perfection of appointment, shall be
superior to anything in existence here,
and able to stand comparison with and
even to surpass the Metropole and the
Savoy in London. There is nothing too
good, no appointment too complete, no
detail too luxurious and exact for the
travelling American public. What a
thing it would be for the city if Mr.. As
tor would take that whole block on 9th
avenue between 33d and 34th streets and
put up a 10 story marble building, with
marble floors and wainscoting, marble
and iron stairways, and two great inter-
secting marble lined Railways, each 40
feet wide and run ing the whole length
and depth of the building. In such a
house every bath room even ought to
have marble floors and porcelain tubs,
every partition wall should be of f1re
brick, every stairway fire proof and
bronze rallied, every stick Of furniture as
modern and luxurious as 1t could be,
every door and window planned for com
fort. light, ventilation--the whole worthy
of the size and of the name-the grand
est hotel in the world. Thirty-fourth
street is our finest cross street; 9Th ave-
nue. from Madison Square to 59th street
will soon be the great highway of retail
traffic, Just as Broadway used to be from
CITY Hall to Union Square. In such
hotel stores could be rented on three
sides at prices which would soon pay for
the building. The site is unapproach-
able. But nobody need go outside OF
New York to find manager for it, New
Yorkers only know the needs of the great
public. Every time hotel has been
built above the Fifth Avenue for 30
years-when it was the furthest up
town-people have said that will take
off your trade But they haven't done
it. New York has enough medium sized
hotels. What is needed is a palace"
