SAN Francisco, Oct. IL, 1898.
The present doings OF some of the San
Francisco delegation to the last leeisla-
ture may prove interesting to those who
come in contact with them during the
session.
Hon. BILLY" Boyce. who was sent
from the twenty-eighth assembly dis
trict, went to Washington the day after
Senator White left here, and as result
of his trip he brought with him on his
return his commission as Chinese in
spector.
VIM. Gately. also member of the
lower house. told the writer one even
ing few months since that he had sue
ceeded in getting an appointment in the
shipping commissioner office; that the
reason he aspired for that was because
it was overlooked by the rest OF the
Legislative delegation, who we're all de-
sirous of securing berths in the mint.
Gately stepped into the new position
few days afterw ards, but the duties
being of clerical nature were not con-
genial to his taste and he held the posi-
ton but few weeks.
Hon. VIM. Brownley, after his return
from Sacramento, cast his optics in the
direction of the mint, but not being a
hold-over senator he stood no chance.
Being a man who does not care about
the particular kind of political job he
holds, he was appointed a member of
the police force and assigned to Du-
pont street beat, where he attends to
his business as closely as he did in the
halls OF the lower house.
Thomas j. Cusick who was one Of the
youngest members of the assembly after
failing to secure position in the mint
made q fight for the eecretaryship OF
the Democratic general committee, being
elected by fair-sized majority over the
irrepressible Jim Tracy.
Assem- blyman MCGOWAN, the lone
Republican who was conveniently abb
sent when the senatorial vote came up,
has not been successful in his aspira.
tions for political position until the
present week, when he was appointed q
stoker in the fire department.
Barney Conway, noted for his rich
Irish brogue, stated few weeks since
when asked what position he was an
aspirant for, that he always
worked for living all his life and
didn't want any political place Bar
ney says he will be the next etate gen.
ator from his district, and he knows of
nothing to stop him in his strides to
fame.
j. Marks has probably been member
OF any legislative for the last time.
Mr.. Hurley, whose reputation was
never question while a member, has
been rewarded with position as night
watchman at the custom house.
The balance of the Legislative delega-
tion have returned to the seclusion of
private life or returned to the pursuits
they followed before becoming anLhon-
orable.

The grounds dedicated to the use OF
the miiwinter fair are no longer the
barren waste they were a few months
since, and where the brush and sand
dunes formerly were there are now the
frames OF immense buildings upon
which hundreds of men are working. as
sisted by machinery used in hoisting
lumber, etc. The employees at the
grounds know no day of rect, ard when
on Sundays the immense throngs who
go out to the grounds stand in admira-
tion at the headway areadv made,
every man who is at work on the many
buildings seems to feel as though the
success of the fair depended upon his
individual efforts in its completion.

Charley All Him, whom the public
has been led to believe to be criminal
and high5inder of the most murderous
type, was landed in Oakland Jail
Wednesday by Deputy Marshal Ham
NEIL.
Among those who are Immediately ac-
qusinted with Charley the unprejudiced
opinion is that he wac more sinned
against than SHINING.
