San Francisco and Panama in any one of
her last 100 trips must have had their full of
satisfaction, for the writer can testify from
personal experience that a more gentle
manly, genial, accommodating and in every
way satisfactory official filling the position
of chief stewar! he has never met with than
William A. Smith, good likeness of whom
appears in this issue OF The CALL.
Mr.. Smith was born in Washington City,
d. o., October 80, 1880. Physically lie is
splendid specimen of man, and his man
ners are those of polished gentleman TO
every one. While his whole mind is given
TO the details and the interests of his en-
ployers, lie never for moment forgets that
gentle courtesy and innate politeness that
smooth over so many of the rough places
III life. During voyage ne is an especial
friend of the ladies and children and no
appeal is ever made to him in vain by them.
He came to the Pacific Coast in lS50,,ever
since which time lie has served under the
home flag of the Pacific Mail Steamship
Company, company which, by the way,
appears to have been more than ordinarily
fortunate in the selection of magnificent
specimens of manhood, thorough seamen
and perfect gentlemen to command and
have charge of the different positions of re-
spOnsibility that belongs to the perilous
calling.
On the last trip of the Colima Mr.. Smith
signed the papers of his department for the
one-hundreth consecutive trip of the vessel
as her chief steward. In his line of bust
ness he has reputation second to that of
no other man occupying n similar position
In the world. This Is not a one-man's YER
dict; it is the verdict of thousands compe-
tent to judge, who have been fortunate
enough to have been placed In position
where their individual comfort depended to
q great extent on the chief steward, and
who have received them from the hands of
Mr.. Smith. May lie live long to fill his pres
ent position, and may good luck attend him
wherever he may be, or under whatever cir
cumstances he may be placed.

mandant McCleave, and gave his little store
OF wealth, all he possessed in the world,
amounting to 1854 so, to the home, to be
used in any manner the board might see tif,
and, breathing the pious wish that some of
the millionaires of the State would follow
his example, he gave up the ghost.
The commandment further reported letter

was stated that a comrade-name not given

Bernhardt's New Play.

Speaking of Mir. Darmont's Pauline
Blanchard" and the intention of Sarah
Bernhardt to give it the premier in Aus
tralia, Edward i. Hart, writing in the Ar
gus (MelbOurne) Of late date says in
view of her large rerertoire and unques-
toned triumph in tried parts, 1t is needless
TO say that this step is unnecessary from a
managerial point of view. But in Mel
bourne the great tragedienne has made an
suspicious commencement of her artistic
and intellectual conquest of Australia, and
the production OF the new piece is intended
as graceful compliment paid in acknowl-
edgment Of VAIN appreciation. OF all the
cities Nine. BeInhardt has visited in her
widely extended travels only Paris, Lon
don and New York can claim to have seen
her for the first Time IN role, and she
wishes to do Melbourne similar honor equal
ly with three OF the greatest cities in the
world. On the conclusion of her present
tour Nine. Bernbardt will rejoin the
Coincide Franchise, and the play which will
first see tile light in Melbourne will be-
come one of her repertoire at the national
tleater OF France.

The pictorial and scenic portions of the
