REALLY A COUNT.
A NObIeman Who Turns to
Hard Work.
Ascanio Sinibaldi of Lucca,sa High
Born Noble, Tolls In an Under
taking Establishment.

There is real live Count In San Francisco
who is at present industriOusly seeking
work. He comes OF a high and noble Italian
family. and the excuse he gives for his pres
ent condition is that he is the "blaek
Sheep"
His name is Count Ascanio Sinlbaldi,
and, moreover. his title is genuine.
Ten or twelve years ago he left his an
cestral home in Lueca, Italy, to see the
world. He travelled about considerably,
until he unfortunately arrived at Buenns
Ayres, in the Argentine Republic. While
| there he invested all his patrimony in the
unstable securities of that country. Within
few months nothing was left to him but a
few hundred dollars, with which he came
Oh to this city.
BE signed his name with a great flourish
on the Palace Hotel register. and for two
weeks lived in the style that truly becomes
genuine nobility.
After that period his funds gave out, and,
being literally at tie end of his rope, his
| lordship resolved to bear the brunt of earn
ing livelihood by manual labor.
He found work in making translations,
but that failed 10 prove remunerative and
was rather intermittent.
Then he did some odd jobs of collecting
for Italian firms and at last he found steady
employment at Bacigalupi's undertaking
establishment on Broadway.
There The Count labored Industriously
and carefully concealed the fact OF his
nobility.
During the meantime his family sent him
! occasional remittances through Fugazrs
agency, which served to relieve his temper
airy wants.
The Count Is % years Of age and, strange
to says looks Ike any other mortal of the
male stripe. He does not care to be called
by his title as he has not the means TO keep
up the dignity
At preseLt he is engaged in making trans
latlOns for an Italian COMM ssion-house.
}. +. FugaZi, the steamship agent, W no is
well acquainted with the Count says that
his family is one Of the Oldest and most
prominent in Italy. The Sinbaldis of
Luecs, lie said, ''are simon pure aristocrats.
Their nobility dates centuries back, and
they are wealthy"
However, the Count Aseanio is very we'll
satisfied with this country, despite the
many ups and downs he has had. and is
willing to forego the dignity of title for the
luXurY of LIVING here

POLICE DOCkETS.
How Justices Wheels Are
Retarded.
THE WORK ONE COURT CAN DO
An Attorney Gives Figures to Prove
That an Extra Court Is
Not Needed.

"San Francisco has about as much use for
another Police Court as she has for another
Mayor" said a prominent attorney yester-
day.
IF the present Police Court officials were
half as energetic in the performance of their
duties as their friends are in trying to Sc
cure an act of the Legislature providing for
another court there would be no necessity
for it, and the chances Of any criminal not
getting justice would be reduced TO about one
in ten. Under the present condition OF
affairs ii is about 100 to ! against justice.
From the groaning representations OF
those who are working for fourth Police
Court one would suppose that criminal
cases were accommodating at an alarming
rate. For instance they cite the fact that
there are something like 700 untried cases
on the calendars of The three courts. and
that they could not be disposed of II the
court sat twenty-fOur hours day Tor 100
DAYS. But those are not facts.
ut is true that there are over 700 untrled
cases on the calendars, but there have sell
dom been less At any time during the past
dozen years About that number are con-
tinued and carried on the calendars for one
cause or another all the time, ana the num-
Der is not increasing materially.
ut has shown q slight increase in the
past few months, but that has been due to
the elections and the negligence Of officials
as their terms come to a close. The tempo
rery energy and activity of the new officials
will balance that. and for few months
now the amount of unfinished business will
decrease as rapidly as it has increased in
the past.
II have been looking into this matter Of
another Police Court and can prove to you
in very few moments that we have abso-
luteIy no use Tor it If any way can be de-
ysed 70 compel those we now have 10 do
the same amount of work their predecessors
did. Just glance at this table of arrests for
tie last thirty years." and he produced the
following from the reports of the Chief of

| gallery it is difficult for the visitor to be-
| lieve that even theaTmysOf workers toilng
within the Pavilion up to 10 O'Clock al night
| can possibly get things IN shape by opening
day. The superintendent is confident, how
| ever, and so are the men actually In charge
OF the work. They clam that these exhibit
lions are never really in shape or we'll
patroniZed till the frs. Saturday night after
the opening. They are positive that all will
be ready by that time, even though things
should look little bit rocky on opening
day.
One good feature which has been intro
duced this year is comfortable room with
desks and all conveniences, even to soda
water and euspidors, for the representa-
tives OF the press.
The visitor, it is repeated. will certainly
be skeptical about the exhibition being
opened on Tuesday next, for in many OF
the divisions there is nothing In sight at all.
Sunday Will certainly not be day OF rest
If the transformation is to be accomplished.
10 the first division. manufactured pro-
ducts and machinery, there will be thirty
exhibits in tile line of engines, boilers and
appliances alone.
In the second class, hydraulic machinery
and steam pumps, there will be quite
large collection. So with the mining,
laundry and agricultural machinery.
Division 2. including manufactured pro-
ducts. metals. will be great display, and
In division 8, manufactured products. wood.

made for the introduction of side-show,

voted TO animal and vegetable fabrics;
division to the electrical, scientific

fine arts; division to chemical aud
food products; division to natural
products, including wines. liquors and to-
baeco. The farm products and citrus dis
play come under this section.
The art exhibits are coming In rather
slowly, and the walls look bare at present,
but it is expected that the gallery will be
ready for inspection on Monday night. if

was played here this morning in this con-
nectiou. Somebody inserted an advertise
ment in the daily papers Of the city stating
that 100 women were wanted al the Pavilion
to sort and arrange exhibits. and that appi-
cation was to be made to Superintendent
Green. There is no person of that name
here and we have been worried all the
morning with applications from respectable,
hard working women in search of a job.
They have lost half day over the trick,
and am using every effort TO find out who
the Joker is. If he can be found he will not
care TO repeat the experiment"
Many of the women STAYED around the
Pavilion till far into the afternoon. refusing
to believe that any one could have been
guilty of so heartless a trick and hoping
against hope that something would turn
up for them. Some of these women had
come from remote parts of the city and
country, and had had trouble enough TO
scrape up even their car fare.
Tie framework of the citrus exhibits has
been very nearly completed, and is good

course you will understand that an exhibit
ton is never perfect on the opening day,
but think You can say we will be pre-
pared TO make better show ON the first day
than we have done in great many years.
THE citrus exhibit will certainly be
ready. Three carloads of fruit came in this
morning, one each from 0rOville, Newcastle
and MarysYlle. Four others will arrive TO-
night and two others tomorrow night.
There will also be carload or two from
the southern section, where Jonathan
Beggs has been stirring things up. These
will come in Sunday night or Monday
morning.
owing to the immense influx 0fmaterial
here, the Southern Pacific Railroad people
have volunteered to make deliveries at any
time, day or night, and the California
TRANSFORMATION Company which is doing
the hauling. has issued instructions to its
teamsters 10 be on hand at 3 A. NJ. to-mOr-
row and on Sunday, so as to commence de-
liver es by daylight The delivery will be
done on Sunday. We have a strong force
now at work sorting and grading the citrus
products and getting them into shape for
decorative work.

"Why should the Chinese pay the Gov

the only Government stamps which have
ever been used of the 100000 worth sent
out by the Government.
Now, the Chinese who sell manufae-
