idea for a Patent Grave Marker.

The expense of funeral in a large city
has grown to such proportions that the
average man commits more extrava-
gance in the act of dying than he ever
did during life. 1t has been suggested
that much less costly form of grave
stones than that usually erected would
meet all the requirements of affectionate
remem brance, and respect, and the sug-
gestion has been carried into effect in the
patenting of ga grave marker" This IS
simply a memorial leaf, 1t consists OF
1.-TWO outer plates bent SO as to form a
holder for leaves and tablets, adapted to
be suspended from frame to receive and
retain objects desired to be kept as
mementoes Of the deceased. The tablets
beneath the outer plates can be designed
in any desired form, and as they have
sides Of mica or transparent material to
protect the tokens, any object, such as
photographs, sketches, ETC., can be i'm
serted. For instance, a sketch OF the
life of the departed or a lock of hair can
be placed in. the receptacle, where. tits
securely protected from the weather,
and, as it is covered with mica, it viii

The sole clerk In the real estate Office
in an obscure corner of st. Paul street
had, apparently, very little TO do yester-
day afternoon. The broker was away
and not likely to return that evening; 80
he lighted his cigarette, brought ont .
copy of the News and sprawling back
on chair In comfortable fashion, with
his heels on the mantelpiece he pro-
ceeded to absorb himself In the reading.
Presently . nervous looking stranger

clerk, without glancing up to see who

The stranger jumped up and howled.

SAN FRANCISCO.

San FranciscaDs. / verify believe, are
the greatest DOarders on EARTH" said one Of
the best-posted real-estate men in town.
Just for curiosity, now. jot down the
names Of the big family hotels in this city
while l call them off,
There you see; nineteen of them with
out counting the leading and some Of the
second-class hotels every one of which con-
tains from so to 200 families. There must be
at least 1000 people in this city who board
instead of keeping house.
That's why says It's hardly fair to conf
pare San Francisco with other Eastern cities
In the point of renting homes"
Perhaps this particular real-estate man, as
those of his kind are apt to be, is little
oversensitve on the matter Of rents in this
city.
For fact San Francisco does compare
favorably in this respect with any Eastern
city or Its size. You can live-as far as
house rent is concerned-in this city about
as cheaply as In any other similar city.
AND as an investment for capitalists the
building of residence houses is as profita-
bic, II not more profitable, in this city as
elsewhere.
At present the renting business is good.
The demand Is very lively and the supply
is good. If you are in search of a fiat or a
cottage or a big modern residence you can
have your pick from $40 month in the
Potrero to 500 in the Western Addition.
On the other hand. If you have house or
fiat to rent 1t will not stand idle long il at
all tenantable, and the rents paid give a
fair return on the capital invested.
There are four classes of homes in this
city. a type Of each class is as follows:

For the radius of perhaps half a mile
from Sixth and Market streets In ali direc-
tions are the r0oming-houses and family
hotels.
1t is almost entirely true that The homes
elsewhere in Philadelphia are large and
small single houses. In all the northeast
ern and northwestern part CT the city, com
hoekin, Frankfofd, Germantown and
Manayunk. even the poor people, as raie,

CINCINNATI.

CINCINNATI, Oct. 8.-''For expensive liv.
ing give ME Cincinnati" is an expression
often heard.
In the interest of THE CALL made the
| rounds of various parts of the Queen City
to-day and Cleaned some very interesting
information on the subject of rents.
Owing to the fact that the city is sur
rounded by half dozen populous suburbs
whose population is anywhere from 1000 to
5000. rents are greatly varied. Then we
have our two sister cities, Covington and
Newport, just across the Ohio, but sepa-
rated by the Licking River.
Covlngton is reached by the suspension
bridge and two other costly structures.
Newport is accessible by two bridges, one
OF which has been completed less than a
year. 1t Is cantilever structure and the
passenger traffic over it daily reaches sew
eral thousands. A very large percentage
of the persons who daily cross these
bridges-Cincinnati is becoming noted for
its bridges-are daily laborers. many of
whom find rents cheaper across the Ohio
than on this side.

Three, four and five room tenement
houses in the downtown" districts are not

Cincinnati, according to the census of

We really have 100000 people whose inter.
ests are eentered in the city between the

In the "West End" many crowded tene-
ment-houses are to be found.
Here is a good illustration: Cummins-

miles from the Government building and is

about thirty-fve minutes.

and Mad Anthony streets-each perhaps
ten minutes walk from the electric line.
The App Jones-street houses "a half
dozen 10 row-are one and half story
frame structures, perhaps dozen years old.
They each contain five small rooms, and
rent for S12 80 month. The houses are
generally rented. They are neat. unpre-

REDD1NG, CAL, May ia stage rob-
berry and murder occurred near here
about + o'clock this evening. The Red
ding and Shasta stage was stopped by
the same two highwaymen who stopped
it Tuesday evening last. John Boyce
was driving and Messenger Montgom-
cry was on the back seat inside. A man
armed with shotgun, and red ban
dana mask ordered the stage to stop and
the passenger on the box to throw up
his hands. He then ordered the boxes
thrown out. The driver complied,
but about this time the messenger fired
upon the highwayman, who dropped to
his knees and then with his partner ibid
in the bushes and returned the fire.
The messenger was severely injured
and died this evening. The Wells-Far-
60 boxes, secured by the robbers, were
supposed to contain about $4,000.
