A Sure Sign of Prosperity.


Tie San Francisco CALL has swung it.
self into line with its rivals in that city,
and by the purchase of new mammoth
press has put itself in position to boldly
challenge them for supremacy. 1t is not
worth while to describe the wonderful
things that the new press can accomplish.
Everybody knows that the vgor of modern
journalism has forced the inventors of The
world to carry the printing press to a de-
gree of perfection far surprising that OF
any other machine. In comparison with
the delicacy, the complexity and the
capacity for work OF the best presses
of the day, the machinery of any
other sort of work is clumsy and made
quate. The CALL has secured. IL is need
less TO say. one of the best presses that can
be made. and has shown a determination
to put forth vigor in its journalistic
methods that will strain even this press.
aided by the former mes, to keep no with
it. This is a good sign of renewed enter
prise in San Francisco. Whenever a news
paper fiourishes. the community in which
it is published is a gamer by it. We are
glad 10 note, therefore, the renewed pros
perity in The CALL, and take it as a proof
that our metropolitan city Is going 10 show
itself capable of supporting three great
morning dai!ies, each of which is equal to
any newspaper in any city of the Union.

Gently left the Paris Winter Circus for
Lisbon. taking with him five of his ami
mails. has been mortally injured by one of
the wild beasts. He had been giving a
performance in the lions cage before a
considerable number of spectators as
sembed in the Lisbon circus. when. as he
was preparing to step out, lioness called
Nellie flew at him and nearly tore him to
pieces. MaXimin struggled for nearly ten
minutes with the brute, twice srizing its
tongue, but tie became faint through the
loss of blood. The lioness was shot
through the heart by one of the circus
clowns, and Poison. another French
tanner, succeeded in keeping in check the
other animals in the cage. MaXimin, fear
fully mangled and laceratej. was carried.
in dying state to the hospital. The af-
fair caused panic in the circus. and the
programme Of the afternoon was prema-
turely concluded by the CHASTITY scene.

Decent People VIII Rejoice.

All decent people will rejoice to see the
improvement Of the San Francisco CALL.
That paper has long been fighting for de-
ceEcy and cleanliness in the management
public affairs. and against the dives and
their supporters in office aud out of it.
And 1t is encouraging to note that this
policy has had its reward in the support of
he people. The prosperity of THE CALL
is proof that decent and honora Bile jour
nalism can be made profitable even in San
Francisco-ihat it is not necessary for
newspaper TO court the support of the
dives, or to pander to corrupt and despic-
able bosses in politics.
The Herald takes special pleasure in
congratulating the publishers of THE
CALL, because it is engaged in the same
noble work. and because it also has re-
ceived the earnest and vigorous support of
the decent people of the community in
which it is published. And, although
The CALL is a little head of us in getting
its new press to work, we feel sure that
within few months at the longest the
improvement of the Herald will be such a
to merit the congratulations Uf our great
metropolitan contemporary.

HUNTING sMUGGLED OPIUM.
Government Officers Raid a Number
of Chinese Laundries.

The Custom-hOuse inspectors carefully
search every vessel that comes into this
port, and very often succeed in finding
quantities Of opium upon which the duty
has never been p1id. Notwithstanding
their vigilance a considerable quantity OF
the drug is smuggled in, and soon finds its
way into Chinatown.
Deputy Surveyor Ruddell yesterday or
tanned information that n large number of
tins of opium had been brought to San
Francisco by a member of tn crew of one
of the steamers that run between here and
Puget Sound. The opium, it was said,
had been hidden in Chinese laundry on
Mlnna street Tor safekeepiug.
Mr.. Ruddell, accompanied by Searchers
McGnniss. McKenna. Ahern. Grenen and
Davis, made raid upon the suspected
laundry. A most thorough search was
made OF the premisec, but no opium was
found. Thipking that there might have
been some mistake made in the place Mr..
Ruddell ordered the other lauhdries in the
vicinity searched, but nothing could be I'M
earthed.
In the basement nf Marchy's laundry,
247 Minna street, All ice was found in
possession OF complete opium layout.
Several tins of stamped opium were found,
but none of the goods wanted by the
searchers.

cause he is again at his old tricks. While
the place was free of customers yesterday
at the time of the visit. the hunks had
every appearance of having been recently
