THE LAST RITES.
Bishop Kip Inferred Amid
Sad Ceremonies.
GRACE CHURCH IS THRoNGED.
Friends of the Venerable PreIate As
semble in Memoranda Short
Service at the Grave.

A multitude of friends, parishioners and
relatives of the late Bishop Kip gathered at
Grace Church yesterday afternoon to do
honor to his memory by attending his
funeral.
They came in crowds. and long before the
appointed hour the sidewalks of Stockton
and California streets were choked up with
the mass of humanity. Three squads of
stout policemen were on hand 10 keep clear
the entrances and approaches TO the sacred
edifice, but, in spite Of their efforts, the
great Oaken doors had to be shut and the
invited mourners admitted by a side en-
trance.
II was mixed and decidedly interesting
crowd of people that filed the pews of the
church and stood jammed together in the
aisles. There were old pioneers who had
known the Bishop almost half a century
from the time when he first came to this
then unciviliZed country TO labor among the
rude mining men, who gave him every
where and always the respect that was
commanded by his presence.

nations aud sects come to pay their tribute

an exact diameter and running across the
center of the cycloTama.
The business men who visited the
Pavilion yesterday seemed naturally at

Crocker building, the Lachman, the Palace
Hotel, Flood building, and a few others
attracted the admiration of those pioneers

the city. Near by doomed up the sub

The ladies were quickest to mark the

Artist Mtrshfelder says that every build
ing is correct to the scale used, and this

cyclOrama by foreign eyes, ought 10 strike
them as subs tantially and beautifully built

exceptions. The natural advantages of the
harbnr and sea outlet are graphically pre-

establishment of large factories is plainly

The tall chimneys of the works in opera
ton are quite feature of the collection of
buildings and have been enhanced by the
addition OF smoke-like wool, which appears
to be just escaping.
Golden Gate Park, the Cliff House, Seal
Rocks. Woodwards Gardens, the various
cemeteries and the distant suburbs across
the bay were all objects of absorbing inter-

building not appearing more than six
inches high, but the proportions have been
so carefully preserved and the cnloring is so
natural and artistic that the minuteness of
some OF the details is speedily forgotten.

can be readily taken apart. They Will be

BIRDsEYE CYcLoRAMA.
Completion of One of the Most Curious
Miniatures That Will Be Seen
at the Worlds Fair.

There was a steady succession OF all
classes OF people visiting the machinery
room at the Pavilion yesterday, where
stands the cyclorama OF San Francisco just
completed by Artist Mershfeder for the
Worlds Fair. 1t was the first public time
an opportunity had been given to inspect it,
and every one was curious tosee this "mul-
tum in parv0" view of the fair city.
Looking down upon this cyclorama Chi
cago VIII just naturally envy the Queen
llty of the Pacific and all her many visitors
VIII make up their minds to take a trip
here.
The city, be it understood. Is represented
In relief at the bottom Of circular pit
upon the walls of which the bay and out
lying portion of the city are depicted with
considerable skill. As in panorama the
foreground is often supplemented by real
OBJECTS, so here the foreground represent

vi course the points Of view In a cycln-

In the panorama you are supposed to be
standing In the midst of the scenes which
are taking place all around you. But in the
cyciorama you are up in a balloon, as it
were, and are looking down upon the city
as whole beneath you.
IL Is not ulUlcuIt 10 imagine how, II You

scrutlhize the scene below for the objects
most familiar to you. So it was yesterday
with the crowd around that Worlds Fair
cyelorama OF San Francisco.
There was j. j. Dwyer with long roll of
paper that looked as If it might be rejected

democratic chieftain. using this roll as
spyglass, traced his recent course from the
direction of Oakland. by Goat Island,
through the busy shipping to the new union

up Market street until the improvised
telescope rested so as to command the new

THE MARINE MISER,
=" Hungry Gus" Who Passed In Hi
ChacI1c

Hungry Gus" Who Passed In His
Checks.
Hungry GUS is dead. as was announced
In yesterdays issue OF The CALL.
But there is no one who grieyes for him,
for Gus had the reputation of being the
meaGest man on the water front.
Everybody has heard how Hungry Gus"
or more properly Augustus a. Jensen, lived
solitary life on the schooner Emile
Schroeder, starved himself and cursed all
men who were foolish enough to pay good
United States coin for food enough to keep
them alive.
Gus never purchased food when he could
help it, preferring 10 slip into some saloon
on the water trout ''unbeknUwn" to the
proprietor and snatch d bite" of free
lunch.
Stray potatoes dropped from the cargo of
vessels unloading at The docks or discarded
fruits at the commissiOn-houses were good
enough to satisfy the cravings of this
strange captains hunger, and there is not a
restaurant from North Beach to the Potrero
which has ever seen the color OF Gus coin.
In spite of the fact that Gus was always
ready to eat when Ire could do so at another
mans expense. he could never be induced
to 60 so much as half block out of his way
10 yet square meal
The exertion of visiting a Third-street
saloon Sunday morning was too much for
the old man and he dropped dead. Thus
ended the life OF strange character, almost
as well known in the parts Of the city
which he lrequented as the late lamented
Emperor Norton.
Augustus S. Jensen came to California
IN 1919, and has engaged in every business
since from that OF a miner TO a river steam
boat captain.
II was on one Of his trips up the Sacra-
mento in early days that Jensen was dis
covered to love the almighty dollar better
than he loved his life. He was crossing the
river one rainy night in small boat, which
was capszed. He was thrown into the
river and nearly drowned. hauled ashore by
some fishermen and revived sufficiently to
speak. The first words he said were: Let
me 70 back to the river; have lost dol
lar cut of my pocket"
1t is not known how Gus knew that the
dollar had slipped away from him, but IL Is
supposed that the drowning man, Instead of
grasping at the proverbial straw, had made
convulsiye grasp for his money as soon as
lie felt himself sinking.
Gus took his schooner to Mexico one time
and starved the crew so that They were laid
up IN the nos pitRl for some time after their
return.
he could not get another crew to sign
with him, so he anchored the schooner off
Mssion-street wharf, and there she has
been ever since.
No more filthy vessel than the schooner
can be imagined.
In her cabin are blackened walls and a
floor inches deep in dirt. A broken glass
is hung to the wall and gives evidence of

ALL MUST SHAVE.
Olympic Club Boys Will
See the Barber.
FUN AT THE ROMAN SHOW.
BaIiet-rIaster O'Breean and the Roman
Graces-Everybody Worries the
Managers.

Vanderlyn Stow, the handsome vice
president of the Olympic Club. promenaded
the streets yesterday and nobody seemed TO
know him.
1t used to be "Hello, VanP' here and
How do you do, Mr.. StOw?" there, all
the time, so Mr.. Stow wondered what could
be the cause of this sudden frigidty on the
part of his many friends, both female and
male.
Let me thinkp exclaimed he, putting
his hand up to his upper lip to stroke his
long blonde mustache and to assume
meditatiye mood.
'Ahs, l know what Is the matter now~
he cried as soon as he found that he no
longer had any silken mustache to twirl.
at is all on account of my altered appear
ance, and really it's too tunny-they don't
know me without NV mustache."
Then Mr.. Stow INDUCED in quiet laugh,
not only on his own account, but because
be knew that host OF the Olympic Club
boys would be in the same fix before an
other week is over.
The fact of the matter is that an edict has
gone forth to the effect that every mothers
son who wants to be a gladiator, chariot
racer or athlete in the great Circus Maxi
mus must sacrifice his mustache, II he has
one, and must report for duty Monday
night clean shaver, so that classic counte-
ndnceS only may DC seen III tHe great
Olympian spectacle TO be represented for
the first time that night.
There was a howl of INSTRUMENTATION
against this order but the managers OF the
circus were properly inexorable. "When
you are going to be Roman you must do as
the r mans did, was all they had to say,
and so the big and little mustaches were
doomed.
With her0ism which Is highly commend
able Vice-President Stow, who is TO be a
gladiator or something of that sort himself,
set good example by sacrificing his mus
tache first.
And that is the reason he IS now an I'M
known stranger on the promenade.
Amadee JOullin, who is running the show
part of the circus and who is responsible
for the mo mustache" order, laughs in his
sleeves, because lie has been foxy enough to
provide saving clause for himself and his
friend Donald de V. Graham, by issuing a
second proclamation which says that all the
Roman Senators will be permitted 10 wear
full boards If they so choose.
JoGlin then cast himself and Graham
as Senators.

Club learned that there was no way of GET

RYER'S PROPERTY.
A MilliOn=Doliar Contest
Is Begun.
An Alleged Son of the Late Physician
Thinks He Ought to Have His
Share.

Judge Levy's court was the principal at
traction for new City Hall Ioungers yesteI-
day. There was just a cool million of dol
lars at stake there, and the plaintiff was an
illegitmate son.
In years long gone by DR.. Washington
Ryer, now gone 10 his rest. lived In the city
OF Stockton, and while there Is said to have
contracted an Intimacy with Mexican wo-
man. A result of the alleged intimacy is
said to have been a son. Christopher B.
Ryer, the contestant of the will.
The young man claims through his attor-
neys. James II. Budd, J. c. Campbell and
E. P. Pillsbury, that during the period from
1852 to 1860, in which DR.. Ryer lived with
his mother, the latter was recognized every
where as the Doctors wife, and that he him
self. the child. was named after his father
at the latter's request.
The lawful widow OF the deceased, Mrs
Elz beth Ina Ryer. and her son, Fletcher
M. Ryer, are the only persons provided for
in the doctors WILL but there are numerous
requests to charitable Institutions, and this
fact seemed TO have weighed greatly with
the illegitimaie son in his legal protest at
being cast out into the world without
penny.
The executors Of the will were repre-
scented Yesterday by Attorneys Stanly,
hayes. CARRIER, Boalt and Bishop.
The array of legal talent was very i'm
pressive, aud all present prepared for a
flood of eioquence and long array of argu-
ments on a substantial million-dollar basis.
But right at the start the case was badly
tangled up when Marshal Ryer, one of the
executors. was called by the contestant to
produce the books, papers and letters of
the late Dr. Ryer.
The attorneys for the executors all
jumped to their feet at once just as the wit
ness had begun 10 say that there was moth
ing in the documents that would bear on
the case.
The lawyers were of a different opinion,
however. The contestants attorneys had
a strong idea that some very material facts
would come to light or would prove to have
been suppressed, and the learned gentlemen
on the other side were evidently neryously
appTehensiye OF the same thing. So there
ensued sharp legal vraEgle over the
coveted documents.

HOLLY PARK WANTS WATER.

night at East Park, near Mission street. II.

B. Clyne reported an interview had the
past week with the president and engineer
of the Spring Valley Water Company. The
request of the prof. erty-owners for the lay
ing of mains throughout the district and the
furnishing of an adequate water supply
was brought to the attention of those
officials.
The String Valley Water Company was
unable TO furnish water to the highest
points in the district as the College Hill
reservoir was not situated at an elevation
high enough.
They offered. however. to consider the
