Its Progress From Little Coffee-Ro ON
to World Famous Restaurant.
Charles G. Delmonico and the Misses Del
monico are guests at the Windsor Who
has not heard of "Delmonico's," New York?
No name is more familiar to epicures than
Delmonico, and yet few people know any
thing about the original Delmoncos. of
whom there were three brothers-John.
Lorenzo and Pierre. The real founder of
the name was John, the youngat and most
energetic Of the three. He was the first who
came to New York, and he sent out for tho
other two. John originally began his career
as a trader between Havre and Havana.
lie made little money and came to New
his future success as did A. r. Stewart
when he first landed from Ireland John
started little bakery and did fairly we'll
so we'll that he thought that with the aid
OF his brothers he could do better. So
he wrote to his elder brothers to come over
the Atlantic. This was quito venture
some journey, especially for two Swiss
peasant lads, for such they were. But they
had faith in .ohn, in fortune and in each
other. so over they came-by sail-ship, of
course.
The first Delmonico building was a COM
bined bakery, bar, coffee-room and restau-
rant. The bakery was run on the 'pop

counters In New 10rk-that is, no watch
was kept on customers. who helped them
selves to pies, tarts, turn-overs and cakes,
and their word was taken as to the amount
they consumed. The bar had the best of
wines and liquors at from sixpence to a
shilling per glass. The coffee was ALWAYS
good and the meals we'll cooked and served.
and the prices were reasonable. A cup of
fresh coffee and some delicious rolls and
butter could be had for a shilling, and a
outlet only cost a shilling more. A regular
dinner with wine could be enjoyed with
fine service, for dollar-fully equal to a SIS
Delmonico dinner now. A good Havana
cigar cost but cents-such as costs 20 to-
day.
The house OF Delmonico prospered from
the first, and by and by second generation
came on the carpet and took part in the
thriving concern. John. the founder of the
house. took life easily toward the end, do
ing the marketing only, while his brothers
played .dominoes and smoked cigarettes.
None of the Delmonicos, either the broth
ers, nephews or descendants, have been

were decidedly uncultured They spoke,

A SKULL IN A BED POST.
The CHASTITY Discovery Made by Wi
cousin Man,

| The CHASTITY Discovery Made by Wis
consin Man.
A ghastly find was made a few days age
by an upholsterer named Leak of this place
1t was that of skull which had been con-
cealed in a bed post or to be accurate, in a
large hollow wooden ball placed tor orna-
ment on top of the post. The bed to which
this belonged was one of lot of furniture
recently purchased by Leak in Racine, and
is magnificent old piece of mahogany of
the Queen Anne style and is in all proba-
bility very old, SO that 1t is impossible to ar
rive at any conclusion as TO how long the
skull has been concealed in it.
Leak perceiying the ball to be rather
loose, for the purpose OF tightening it eX-
amined it aud discovered that it was
screwed on and was hollow. He removed
it. and, TO his horror. found that the cavity
was occupied by grinning skull. which
was all the more awe-lnspiring from the dis
covery, which was subsequently made,
that through the temple had been
driven large nail or spike, which still re-
NAMED piercing il nearly through to the
other temple, and which, though encrusted
with rust, still shows specks of long-dried
blood or what is presumably such.
Whether the skull is that of a man or
woman Is of course impossible to tell, but
Il Is unnistakably human and that Of a per-
son OF considerable Intellectual develop
ment, as is evidenced by the facial angle
Leak has eXerted himself to try to learn
something OF the history of the bed but has
not been able to do SO. He purchased it
from secondhand dealer, who in turn

declares that she knows nothing of it ex-

4 Very Quiet Day Along the
City's Water Front.
Arrival Of the Rio de Janerio From the Orient.
Discharging the Gwalla-Movements
of Shipping.

The most important event along the front
yesterday was the arrival of the Pacific
Mail steamship City OF Rio de Janero from
Yokohama and Hong Kong. The steamer
reached her berth about o'clock in the
afternoon, having brought rather a light
passenger list She had thirteen cabin,

tea and 1000 cases OF silk goods.

The work of taking the wheat out of the
bark Gwalla. recently on fire at Selby's
works, near Port Costa, began yesterday
morning. The bark had about 300 tons on
board. and the lot is ruined. A gang of
men was at work putting ballast into the
vessel, and, as soon as enough is on board,
what is left of the $50 tons of coal will be
taken out, and the bark placed or the dry
dock.
AS SLICK AS EVER.
The clipper brig Gailee came off the Mer-
chants Dry-d2ck yesterday and towed to
her berth at Mission No. l. She has beer
cleaned and painted and looks as slick as
ever.
The steam schooner Jewel, from Navarro
for RedOnd0, put in at this port yesterday
on account of the chief engineer being sick.
The weather outside the heads yesterday
was thick with a southwest wind blowing
twelve miles an hour. The barometer stood
1882.
IN FROM SEA.
Among the arrivals yesterday were the
steamers Emily from Newport. Silver Spring
from Eureka, Bonita from Port Har ford,
San Benito from Nanaimo with 400 tons
of coal for the Southern Pacific Company,
the ship Blue Jacket from Seattle with 1914
tons of coal for p. B. Cornwall, the bark
Gathercr from Tacoma with 22SS tons of
coal for the South Prairie Coal Company,
and the schOoners S. Danielson, Glendale

The only departures were the steamers
Cleoue for Urry, and the 1illamook for
Eureka.
MOVEMENTS OF VESSELS.
The COmliebank went yesterday to Port
Costa to load, the Berlin dncked at Long
Bridge, the Blue Jacket at Main street. the
Germania at fremont street, the Audelana
shifted to the sea- wall, and the Commodore
T. II. Allen went to Hunters Point dry
deck. The Anfelana and Arabia Will go to
Port Costa, the Brcdablik to the sea-wall,
the bark st. James will come down from
Port Costa, the Forest Queen will dock at
Mission No. l, and the j. B. Thomas will
go TO sea.

all three imperfec.ly. Nor were anv of the
DelInonieos good business men. in the
American sense of that term. This may
seem strange, considering their success,
put 1t is fact. None of them were
keen or shrewd. None of them drove
bargains. They attended strictly to
one line of duties, treated everybody
well, sold good articles aud so got rich. and
their fame as restaurateurs filled not only
New York, not only America, but Europe.
1t is not generally known, but old-timers
Will still remember that the Delmonicos
once kept summer-garden in what is now
East New York. Attached to this garden
was vegetable and dairy farm which was
Tree to the guests-a pleasant privilege in
warm weather. There were various at
fractions, such as band of music and a
ten-pin alley. There was also an open
space for Understanding and for athletic
games-ihese were the happy days before
baseball. This DelmOnico summer-garden
was great resort for all foreign resi-
dents In New York, particularly on
Sundays, when all the German, French,
Italian and Spanish notables could be seen
here enjoying Themselves ratoga Letter
