dren are proud of their father, who enters
heartily into their sports, amusements and
interests. Indeed, they are singularly
happy family, united in all their pleasures
and pursuits. 1t is delightful sight to see
Mrs. Delmas at place OF summer
resort, accompanied by her children, who
seem never so cOntGnted as when they are
close to their beloved mother. The eldest
daughter, Miss Delphine, is very pretty,
graceful Girl, and has developed into
charming and attractive young lady whose
debut into society was made one or two
winters ago. She is slender, with dark
hair, oval face, clear olive complexion and
dazzingly beautiful eyes. Both she and her
brother are devoted TO tennis, and that they
play we'll goes without saying.
Mrs. DelmaS is not very tall aud Is in
clned 10 be rather stout. She has bright,
attractive face, with a pleasant expression
of countenance. She is a charming hostess
and one who is happy in the lighter vein of
entertaining. She has the ability to attract
and to hold intellectual friendship.
Mr.. Delmas within the last two years
bought the William T. Coleman residence
on the corner of Taylor and Washington
streets. He had it completely renovated and
improved and it IS charming family home.

DONOHOB BUILDING.
The Handsome Structure On Market
Street.
Pen Picture of This Fine Building and
the Contractors Who Con-
strueted It.

OF the many handsome structures recently
erected in San Francisco there is not one
that surpasses in size, construction, or sub
stantiabilitY, the fine building which is the
subject of this picture. The building fronts
on Market street, Golden Gate avenue and
Taylor street, and is the property of Joseph
a. Donohoe. the banker of this city.
Neither money nor pains have been spared
TO render it first class, whether as to archi-
tectural design, modern Improvement and
convenience or safety. 1t is seven stories
In height with basement. and is of impOs-
ing design. All the new and advanced ideas,
which, in :he last few years have super
seeded the old methods Of constructing Office
buildings, have been followed, and the ma
teTials and labor used are the best that could
be Obtained. 1t is Of terra Gotta pressed
brick, with solid stone trimmings, and the
inside girders and trusses are mainly of
steel and iron. firmly riye.ed together at all
functions The ground floor is one large
store, with fine, large plate-glass fronts, and
rivals anything II its kind on the Pacific
Coast. The rounded corner and the cOTnces
relieve the monOtony of the architecture,
which is of the Italian renaissance style,
rendering the structure solid aud attractive

by the ladies of the Unitarian Church. Mrs.
Davis is fine-looking woman. large, we'll

nifty and grace. She always wears glasses,
being very near-sighted. Her mother, the
popular Mrs. William Norriss, is a society
matroD. who has contributed not little to
the social success Of her set, in which she
has been aided materially by her daughter,
Mrs. Davis. When Horace Davis was
elected to the presidency of the Uni
versity at Berkeley it was hoped
that Mrs. Davis would gather around her
the intellectual lie Of university town,
and form a coterie Of bright minds over
which she might reign as a Scion. But
Mrs. Davis could not regard the prospect of
residing out of her beloved San Francisco
with aught but aversion, and at last Presi-
dent Davis. in Difference to her wishes,
severed his connection with the University
and resumed his identity as a merchant and
manufacturer, with nothing to call him
from this city, so dear to his wife.

A theatrical topic or real interest is the re-

the modern stage. For several seasons the
earnest well-wishers of dramatic art have
warmly advocated the reintroduction of the
stock system in the large cities, and the in

is gaining strength steadily. The best class

Mark how the rats felonious fangs invade
The golden stores in Johns pavilion laid;
Anon, with velvet foot and Tarquin strides,
Subtle Grimalkin to his quarry glides;
Grimalkin grim, that slew the fierce rodent
Whose tooth insidious Johan's sackcloth rent.
Lo! now the deep mouthed canine foes assault,
That vexed the avenger of the stolen malt,
Stored in the precincts of that lofty hall
That rose complete at Jacks creative call.
Here stalks the impetuous COW with crumpled
horn,
Whereon the exacerbating hound was torn,
Who bayed the feline slaughter beast that slew
The rat predaceous, whose keen fangs ran
through
The textile fibers that involved the grain
That lay in Hans inviolate domain.
Here walks the sad eyed damsel crowned with
Lactiferous spoils from vaccine dugs who

Tossed to the clouds, in fierce vindictive scorn,

Arched the 1.-the spine and reared the indignant

Full with young Eros osculative sign,
To the lorn maiden, whose lact-albic hands
Drew albu-lactic wealth from lacteal glands
OF that immortal bovine, by whose horn
Distort to realms ethereal was borne
The beast ululean, vexer of that sly

In Hymen's golden bands the thorn unthrift,

So says Jenness-Miler, the famous
lecturer and writer on dress reform
and physical culture, and celebrated
writer in a medical journal says: "Face
powders and toilet preparations have
legitimate use in the toilette of every
woman and a use properly made need
not any more than the proper use OF a
perfume displease any one, while it
cannot be denied that they add to the
personal beauty and attractiveness and
give to the wearer an expression that
can be interpreted by any practical OBJ
server to mean that THIS WOMAN is NEAT
AND CAREFUL ABOUT HER PERSON AND
HOLDS JUST PRIDE IN BEAUTIFYING HER
SELF. In the use of toilet preparations
it is easy to distinguish the well-bred
from the vulgar" Another well-known
authority, DR.. Arthur Dean Bevan,
professor of anatomy in the Rush Med
ical College and P. A. surgeon U. S. M.
H. S., writes without reserve on a
kindred subject. What he says:
CHICAGO, Jan. 81, 1888.

tents are both bland and harmless, and
that the compound would form an

ditions of the skin.

space Respiration and circulation fail,
face and neck are congested; often we
find a raging delirium and commissions
that distort the body like potent poison,
until finally with shudder the victim
passes the dark river.
Treatment should be prompt. First
the patient should be removed to cool
and shady place. Then the clothing
should be thoroughly loosened about the
neck and waist, and wet cloths applied
to the head and back of the neck and
wrists, with mustard or turpentine on
the calves of the legs and the soles Of the
feet. II the patient can swallow, give.
him little weak whisky and water.
Always keep the head raised. Meanwhile
a physician should be called, for under
lying the superficial, may be more dan
gerous symptoms that require the use of
remedies that influence the action of the
heart and nervous system. Above all
things don't make the mistake of sup
posing man to be drunk, because you
have seen him throw his hands wildly in

talist Of Wall street. At no stage OF the
financial history of any people was such
an infamy ever even contemplated. It
was of piece with the watering of the
stocks of the hundred railway corpora-
tions which are now paying twenty-five
per cent. in dividends where they ap-
pear to be only paying three or four per
cent.
Fortunately for the people OF the
United States and of the world, the
abundant crops and irresistible prosper
ity ahead for this country. make it
possible to remedy the great and crying
infamy of the Sherman school of politi-
clans by the remonetization of sill
yer. The coming congress, through
the practical unanimity of the Demo-
Gratis, aided by small contingent of
Republicans, will pass free coinage
measure. Harrison dare not veto it, or,
if he does, it will be passed over mis-
veto. That will signify to the Latin
races, headed by France, and to intelli-
gent financiers in all quarters of the
world, that the new era has set in, in
which the debtor will have at least q
fair sshake" with his creditor. AS q
consequence, business all over all hem
ispheres, will be vitslized and energized, !.

beck statesmen; like John Sherman, OF
malodorous memory.
