MEN ABOUT TOWN.
Short Stories Gathered From the
Hotel Corridors.
Money Stays, But Soap Goes The Governors
Preference California's Prisons-The
Fresno Oil Strike.

From noon until nearly o'clock yester-
day package lay upon the counter at the
Lick House. Resting upon it was 25-cent
piece, presumably for express charges.
"Strange thing about that" said Frank
Smith, the day clerk, sis that that quarter
might lay there for week without being
disturbed, but if it was a bar of soap 1t
would disappear inside of ten minutes. No
one seems to think for an instant OF touch
ing money that is left knocking about, but
soap is never safe. There is not hotel in
this city to-day that can keep its wash
room supplied with soap for the guests, and
we have found that the only safety is in
locks. Seems strange, probably, but 1t IS
absolutely true"
The morning call., 1891-09-09
The Fresno OIL Strike.

Senator r. B. Carpenter has just returned
from the scene of the recent oil strike in
Fresno County and is enthusiastic over the
outlook.
''At 800 feet" said he, 1--WE struck ten
barrel stream of pure green OIL the first ever
found on the Pacific Coast. 1t is worth on
the market 81 barrel, while the common
oil brings but one-qusrter that amount. In
addition to that the oil we are getting is
capable of being refined, while that in the
other California wells is not Natural gas
Is also found near tile we'll in such quanti-
ties that by capturing it as it issues from the
assures in the ground we are enabled TO Sc
cure sufficient quantity to run the ma
chinely for operating the drills and pumps.
The strike is undoubtedly the greatest ever
made in the West"

Secretary Thompson reported that the at
torneys for Controller COlgan had filed a
brief in the Supreme Court on the 31st ult.
with reference to the onsitutionality Of

appropriation. The bill of ex-Judge Nc
Kinstry, counsel for the commission, Will
probably be filed this week.
The commission discussed the plans for
the apportionment OF the appropriation, in
case favorable decision should be rendered,
but no definite action WAS taken pending
the judgment of the Supreme Court.

In front that blazed forth perfect inferno
of red fire, and as Turk and Mason streets
were passed the third and fourth divisions
also fell into place.
1t was beautiful sight as the closely
marching pageant moved past the Lolita
fountain, at Market, Geary and Kearny
streets. The electric lights and the illumi-
nations and fireworks on all sides made the
streets as bright as day, and the immense
mass of people who were jammed in at
those corners cheered vocfcrously as the
procession passed
at Post and Kearny streets momentary
halt was made, and beautiful floral wreath,
tied with red, white and blue silken ribbon,
was presented Grand Marshal MarstOn by
Achille Roos Of Roos Brothers, whose stores
were a blaze of light and color, while from
the roof perfect torrent of fireworks was
rained.
The procession passed in good order down
Kearny to Bush street, and thence to Mont
gnmery. where it marched back to Market.
The head Of the parade was turning down
Market at Montgomery just as the last di-
vision was wheeling around the fountain
into Kearny street, and those SO fortunate
as to stand at the junction of the streets at
that point had double view at once.
At Fremont street the Grand Marshal and
his staff and the Marshals of the succeeding
