Young Orleans Tailor Glad 60 He Rid OF
His Troublesome Prisoner.
From London Truth.
The Due d'Orleans wal not more glad
70 leave Clairvaux than NJ. Arnaud, the
governor, was to see him set at liberty
The fu~nctionary Is n clever, scholarly man
and a thorough Bohemian, prizing most
intellectual freedom and Independence OF
the comforts and elegancies of civilized
life. Lounging in public libraries, cafes
and newspaper offices were his greatest
pleasures before he was seat 10 govern
Clairvaux. There Is n suh~governor there
who manages the prison so well in his alb
sence that. until Due d'Orleans become a
prisoner, the governor was often able to
run to Paris.
But after that event he was himself
virtually n prisoner. The dues letters
and those he received had to be read.
Orders were sent down from Paris to
make things as pleasant as might he with
out scandalous disregard OF the rules.
What the governor was constantly rearing
was the due falling i'll from Indigestion.
The hillsides around Clairvaux are rich IN
those alimentary snails that fatten on the
vines. As the captive was never tired OF
eating them land they are hard to digest
NJ. Arnaud was in constant fear of being
charged with trying TO poison his Illus
trious prisoner, and SO, To counteract the
effects Of n too richly furnished table, he
was always urging him To take exercise.
The dues relatives did their best not to
let him cerive moral benefit from his
ordeal. He was pampered by them tn an
uncomfortable degree. Hampers were con-
stantly arriving with alimentary luxuries.
He had an impatient temper, and on his
name-day he got into n tantrum on COM
ing out Of his bed room on seeing his big
sitting room filed with flowers. Tan
de ileurs, 1T 81 peu de liberte!' l'So
many flowers and so little liberty!'D he
said, and he kicked the bouquets about.
Everything that could he done was done
to keep him on a bed Of roses. At the
outset he rather enjoyed the pedestal on
which, he conceived, being i'm prison set
him. But he ended, as well he might, by
getting sick of confinement, and turned
pale as. on the hundredth day OF his cap
tivity, the governor reminded him that he
had only undergone an eighth part OF the
time To which he was sentenced.
III the Duo dtDrlean's family think the
French as q nation took In any way his
captivity to heart, they are mistaken. Or
leanist society was at bottom Indifferent.
A few noblemcn who wanted To give them
selves importance, affected deep concern,
hut went on amusing themselves as usual.
The intimate friends of the Compile and
Confess de Paris, were, perhaps, con-
cerned. What | noticed was general i'll

The Fresh-Air Enthusiasts Climb It's
Rugged Sides.
Early yesterday morning when San Fran
ciscaHs who desired to leave the city on the
first trains looked from their windows to
note the condition of the weather heavy
fog hung over the city, and only the more
enthusiastic freSh-air advocates donned their
old clothes and started their respective
journeys. So it happened that out of some
200 members only a handful of sightseers
assembled at the Sausallto ferry to take part
in the outing on Mount Tamalpas. The
boat was crowded with hunters and fisher
men. determined to enjoy days recreation,
and when the little steamer San Rafael
headed across the bay it was remarked that
the fog had lifted and the prospects were
good for g fine day.
When President Fred Fillmore gave the
order TO advance from Ross Station merry
party responded, and as the line filed out
from the depot some twenty-1ve trampers
were counted, both sexes being represented,
some members of the Sight-seers' Club form
ing little independent groups, but all with
the same objective point In mind. As the
walkers stepped briskly up the valley they
were charmed with the clearness of the out
lines OF the mountains in all directions and
the bracing morning air.
When leaving San Francisco an inter-
ested party observed the thermometer.
which indicated 560 Fahrenheit, while the
temperature at Ross Station was few de-
grees lower, heavy white frost covering
the fences and bridges and glistening in the
rays OF the rising sun. AS the ascent of
the mountain progressed and the day wore
on, the temperature raised to 100 on the
sunny slopes, and every one was heartily
glad to dispense with wraps and 0vercoats /;
In fact all those who left these garments at
nome congratulated themselves on what
they chose to designate as foresight.
The party rested at fuckers Camp and
then proceeded to Eckerts Camp, further
up the mountain, where luncheon was par
taken Of, and then, just to put in the time.

How the Shell-Fish Are Caught and Pr

How the shell-Fish Are Caught and Pre-
pared for Market.
In an ancient structure on the south side
of Bay street, between Mason and Taylor
is located an enterprise which is a novel
one, and probably the only one Of the kind
on the Coast 1t is that of preparing crabs
for the market. When a CALL reporter
visited the place yesterday the proprietor,
an Austrian, was found busily engaged in
transferring live, sguirming crabs from
wagon to a caldron of seething hot water.
In answer to the reporters queries he
said: Il boil from twelve to fifteen dozen
crabs daily on an average. Four men are
out Grabbing for me every day when the
weather permits. Each man has boat and
carries from fifteen to eighteen nets. These
are baited with behring's and sardines and
lowered down, When the men get CD the
bank. The best place and where the largest
crabs are caught is a bank about four
miles from the North Heads. The bank is
about five or six miles in length and two
miles WIDE"

well. it's very uncertain work and the
price varies. Just now they receive 60
cents a dozen, but sometimes when the
weather is bad and crabs are scarce they
get as high IS 81 80 dozen. A good aver
age catch for man for a day is seven
dozen, but as said before 1t is very uncer-
tain. Last Saturday two men were working
on a bank near the Cliff House. They were
only half mile apart and yet, while one
only caught three crabs, the other got ten
Dozen"
After the crabs are brought to the depot
they are placed while alive and kicking in
square metal baskets made of band-iron,
eighteen being placed in each. The baskets
or crates are then placed in a metal chamber
in which they fit snugly, the top screwed on
and steam let in from boiler located in the
basement. After being steamed one hour or
thereabout, the crabs which went in alive
with black shells are taken out, their shells
now being red. and are ready for the mar

A New Club of Expert Players Formed
on Howard Street.
The various hand-ball courts are being
well patronized at the present time, show
ing that the game has gained renewed popu-

due To the fact that several Eastern players
