OLD BEllBOYS.
Two in san Francisco That Are Over
 kiftY Yeara Of Age.

fifty Years of Age.
 The oldest bellboys, so called, in San Francisco, are now well along in years, says the Examiner of that city. Each has crossed the half-century mark by several summers and winters. There are three of these old bellboys. One of them, Nicholas Wynne, has made so much money from careful investments that he long ago retired. Two others are yet in the business and they trip upstairs as lightly and as speedily as any of the ten or twelve year olds who are just beginning. These strange veterans. of the hotel corridors are Herman Graichen, of the Grand, and Billy Stars, of the Lick. Every body knows them. Billy has striking Shakspearean brow. Herman has toiled in so many cities that he has collected a mass of most curious and highly interesting information about men and affairs.
 Years ago, soon after the famous John Hay wrote his tragic poem of Jim Bledsoe." and Mark Twain was learning to be a river pilot, Herman was employed on the Mississippi on the
 
 made the trip between St. Louis and Keokuk, and Tom Mckay was running on her at that time. At the time of the great Chicago fire Graichen was bellboy in the Fremont house. His ex- perience in Chicago also included the sherman house and the Michigan Avenue hotel He came here to the Occidental in 1873, and afterward for a short time he was at the Lick In 1875 he wen. to the Grand, where he has ever since remained.
 Billy Stars slightly outdates Grai- chen as bellboy, notwithstanding the latter's long and strange experience. Stars worked at the old Oriental away in the ffties. He was the chief facto- tum of the bells there many years, and was afterward identified with nearly all the leading hotels of San Francisco. He was at the Grand when the house opened, and at length went over to the Lick, where he has been now for a num- Der of years.
 Few of the airy young men who al- most for the first time are enabled to stop at the hotel reflect that these bell boys who come at the wanging of the button are grandfathers, and that they have had experiences which, if written, would fill a book, and which would be of thrilling interest. They are the oldest bellboys west of the great plains, and possibly the oldest in the United States
