numerous portions of the scapula and every
bone and joint except the right knee being
more or less necrOsed.

Two Of the young ladies In the rOll-call Of
the trades represented two of the markets of
the city and were dressed in regulation
caps and aprons, the knife and steel being
suspended by small chains. The costumes
were deliberately garnished with sausages.
After the first drill one of the young ladies'.
Miss frankie Murphy, came out among the
audience and created a great deal Of fun by
selling slices of the big bologna which
hung pendant from her waist at cents
slice. As the sales were cOnfine to those
n the main floor, those in the gallery felt
that they were sighted and called for her to
go up there. But even bologna sausage
has its limit, and as there was not enough to
90 round on the floor below those above
had to content themselves with the delicious
aroma, which they did amid shouts of laugh
ter. Alta Parlor will never get left with
such girls at the fore.

PILOTAGE FEES,

The Chamber Of Commerce has sent out
the following circular to kindred organiza-
tions throughout the United States:
The Chamber OF Commerce Of San Francisco
has resolved 10 make an effort to obtain legsla-
ton by Congress 10 place the Maritime Pilot
Service under the control OF the Federal Govern
IN ent. and TO accomplish this end thew will use
a n honorable means. We have become con.
vinced that the charges for the maintenance Of
efficient pilot service are greatly In excess Of
what they ought to be, and In some of he States,
at least. these excessive fees. which have been
contributed by The commerce OF The country, are
used 10 create a fund 10 influence legislation TO
maintain the present high rates of pllotage. A
Corruption Fund used in the legislation OF the
several States viii succeed in maint aiming pilot
rates above what Is legitimately necessary for
the service. We believe that Inc remedy is In
placing the pilot service where 1t properly be-
longs, In the hands OF the Federal Government.
After much deIiberatiOn we nave concluded
that the bill drawn by Mr.. Farquhar and by him
introduced In the House OF Representatives Feb
ruary Is, 1890, comes nearest TO affordIng the
relief desired of anything we have discovered.
We do not think it would be wise, however, TO
pre- scribe In The law uniform scale OF compen-
satiOn for pilots at all the different ports, but
consider 1t more advisable 10 leave the COM
pensaton OF pilots 10 the discretion OF the
Treasury Department 10 he determined by the
risk and danger and the cost OF The service at
the several ports OF the United States. We have,
therefore, amended Section Of the bill so as 10
bring IL into harmony with our idea. The pas
sage OF the bill in this form would, we believe,
be of great benefit 10 the commerce OF The cOun-
try and would remove from IL some OF its need
less burdens. We ask you TO cooperate with us
IN such manner as shall seem To you advisable TO
accomplish lie desired result.
