n Stage Drivers Remarkable Preseace Of
Mind.
The death of Barnum recalls an incl
dent of his visit to California about ten
years ago, says a westerner In the st.
Louis Globe Democrat. The great show
man was seldom surprised by any feat
of horsemanship, but, riding on the box
seat beside William Foss, one Of the
famous whips of California, he was
treated to an impromptu exhibition OF
skill which he candidly admitted he
never saw cqualed. Foss was driving
a six-horse stage along the mountain
road from Calistoga to the geysers.
Just before he reached the geysers one
of the leaders dropped dead in its
tracks. The shock swerved the other
leader and broke the singletree loose.
The horses were going at a lively trot
down hill. Quick as thought Foss al
lowed the reins that guided the two
leaders TO run out through the rings,
and, giving slight swerve to the
others, he cleared the dead and the
living leaders and continued to town
with four-horse team. Had Foss hes
itated a moment the horses '-,uld have
become tangled and the coach might
have been upset. Barnum had good
opportunity to see Foss' nerve and skill
tested as he sat beside him. Foss
didn't seem to think he had done any
thing extraordinary. He naively said:
well, it was the only thing to do, and

Ne LONGS FOR THEM.
The city Treasurer Would Like the Board
of Public Works Rooms

City Treasurer Hake is casting long
ing, sheepish eyes upon the rooms now
occupied by the Board of Public Works.
He says that there are no rooms in the
city hall so well adapted to the wants of
the city treasurer as these and he will
use his best efforts with the Committee
on Buildings in the hopes of bringing
about the much desired change. Since
the revision of the city charter the
city treasurer's Office receives more
daily calls than any Office IN the build
ing, with the exception of the city IL
brary. He says that had the city clerk
comptroller, treasurer and the public
library been placed on ti.e first floor
and the marshal, city attorney, Boards
of Health and Education been placed
on the second floor the arrangement of
the Offices would have been much bet
ter adapted for the accommodation of
the the public. The Committee on
Buildings seems 10 have no desire 10
make such = change, and matters will
be likely 10 remain "a they are.
