Dazzling jewels.

Charles c. Reidy, microscopic at 1872
Montgomery street, has five slides with
dust-like specks in the center which he
guards with jealous care.
These little dust specks are cholera sprilli
and there are nearly SEQ doctors praeticing
about these parts who are ambitious to pos
sess these five slides.
The specimens are from the laboratory of
the famous DR.. Koch, who caught the In
famous spirilli while they were committing
their nefarious depredatons on the interior
of cholera patient at Hamburg.
They are dead OF course-deader than
door nails-but they retain all the graceful

THEY COULD NOT sVlH.
But They Went Skylarking
in a Small Boat.
Louis Geary and Miles Sweeney are
Drowned in the Bay-A Boatman's
Comments

Louis Geary, aged "a years, and Michael
Sweeney. also aged "a, were drowned off
Mission Rock on Sunday afternoon.
Their bodies have not been recovered.
1t is the old tale of Sunday boating acct
dents so often and pathetically told.
Young Geary was employed by the Bush
& Mallet Company and Sweeney was
plasterer. On Sunday afternoon they hired
boat and set out for row. along with a
young man named John Hunt.
The trio were having grand time off
Mission Rock, when the boat started out to
join in the fun, and turned over as a COM
mencement.
None OF the young men could swim.
Though Hunt was rescued by George
Macomber, who diyed for him, the others
were drowned
They were very popular and greatly re-
spected youths, but their deaths are ad-
mitted by all who witnessed the sad affair
to have been solely due to a reckless disre-
gard of common care and caution while in
the boat.
These Sunday drowning accidents"
said cty-front b0atman, would never
occur if there was strict law forbidding
boats to be hired out without a skilled
boatman to go along.
Now. let me tell you something. You
will hear some bOatmen say they never hire
out boat unless they know that the men in
the party can row, sail and swim. Don't
you believe word of il.
You don't find many of the regulsr CITY,
front boatmen hiring out boats in this way
It's mostly up toward North Beach or down
al the Long bridge that the Sunday pleas
ure-g0ers get their boats.
This bay is dangerous enough to q
skilled hand. aud it's tempting providence
for any novice to 60 out on it. whether row.
