Entitled to a Pardon.

Many anecdotes of General Sam Houston are
told which show that his tongue was by no
means slow or his wit dull. AS General B had
been financial agent to the penitentiary for a
number of years and warmly opposed General
Houston's last election as governor of Texas, he
feared he would lose his desirable office. He
therefore presented petition in due time, ask
ing that he might be retained, his 'lOng and
faithful services" being urged as reason for
granting the request of the petitioners.
at appears from this petition, general said
the governor, "that you have been in the pen
itentiary eight years. -
Yes, sir. -
And you say that you have performed faith
fully each and every duty imposed upon you
during that time?''
Eyes, SIR
Then. SIR" said the governor with twinkle
in his eye,"it seems to me L ought to pardon
you out"-Youth S Companion.

rent OF property belonging to the estate. Ex-
pendltures amount only to SGT 05, leaving d
balance 10 the good of $3.50 20. The estate is
OF moderate value now. The personal property
Is only worth few hundred dollars, but there

son street being valued at $4,000 while the
Dupont street property Is appraised at SIT, 500,
making in all S31 500.

showing TO what lengths the Celestial will 60

dark unknown world 10 which his spirit fits on
leaving its tenement OF clay. The total cost of
the intermeuG of the Chinese doctor amounted
TO S3023 25. There Is a fully itemZed list of

THE RANGER HERE.
Another Patrol Vessel Has
Returned.
Arrival of the Seaier Rosa Sparks.
Last of the Old Bark
Sycamore.

Tile United States steamer Ranger, Captain
Longueeker, arrived yesterday, nine DAYS from
Ounalaska. The Ranger will be followed
by the Mohican, and the Bering Sea patrol
will be pretty well out of business.
Captain Longnecker reports a good trip down
with the exception of heavy weather off the
Oregon Coast, where the steamer had to lay TO
to ride out the gale.
On board the Ranger were four miners from
the Yukon districi, who are part of a band OF
forty gold hunters who made a failure of pros
pecling in the north.
The season was very cold one. ard the
miners were driven back TO the coast in a half
starved and nearly frozen condition.
They had no provisions and no money, SO
there was but one thing left for them 10 do get
10 San Francisco as quickly as possible. Their
number was divided into squads of four men
each, and the squads assigned 10 the care OF
different vessels Of the patrol fleet.
The Ranger has been In commission long
time and will not be assigned to active duty
right away 1t is thought. She may possibly
make short cruise, then she will go back to
the navy-yard to be fitted with a battery OF
new breach-loading guns, which viii make her
very good light-dranght gunbOat.
The Ranger has Chinese cook who knows a
good deal about geography. He makes dIa-
grams OF Hong Kong harbor and other ports
In China, and explains the naval fights fought
between China and Japan 10 very attentive
listeners. The only trouble is that he Will in
sst that China is always victorious so there
fore his object lessons are sometimes mislead-
ing.
The sealing schooner Rosa Sparks, of which
much has been published telling OF her loss, is
in port, looking little untidy. but still very
sound. The Sparks brought down the balan &c
OF her skins, POP in all. She came in direct
from Ounemak Pass. On September she
was caught IN gale and carried away her
main and foremost heads.
Captain Nelson has not yet decided posi-.
lively what he will do with the steamer Santa
Clara. alias the Sirius. He Will undoubtedly
put her in the coal trade between here and the
north.
The old bark Sycamore mas been sold for old
junk. She has been lying al Martinez for some
time. She will be taken TO California City,
where the WORK OF tearing her to pieces will be
carried on. The Sycamore has for years been
IN the coast trade, and was at one time a car
rier between Atlantic ports. She was built Ii
1856 at Portsmouth, New Hampshire.

came out the air was full of "How are they

hen the Smith with long whiskers told them
all about il. The Grand Jury wanted an

They didn't know where be lived nor his busi-
ness, so they had subpen as issued against every
one OF the ten in the directory, and there they
were. AND each one OF the other eight went In

ACCUSES MRS. MEYER.
A Creditors Statements Regarding
the Wigwam Theater.

Bert Nj. Thomas, creditor OF the estate OF
the late Charles Meyer of the Wigwam Thea
ter, filed a remarkable petition In the Superior
Court yesterday. He asks that Mrs. Mary
Meyer, widow of the deceased and eAecutrix OF
his estate, be cited 10 appear and show cause
why the letters testamenlary which were
granted to her on January 10 last should not

The petitioner claims to be a credit or of the
estate for S663 60, claim which has been al.
lowed by Mrs Meyer, but not yet paid.
Thomas now alleges til Mrs. Meyer sold the
Wigwam Theater for $780, whereas 1t was
worth at least $4,000. This SALE he maintains,
was fraudulent transaction, made with an
irresponsible person and with the effect OF de-
frauding the creditors OF The estate. He says
that j. j. Rauer is now conducting the theaier

A GREAT OBJECT LESSON.
1t Is Given in Raphael's Mechanics
Jubilee Sale.

The condition into which Kearny street has
been thrown by tearing up the thoroughfare
and allowing confusion to reign supreme be-
cause the Southern Pacific Company intends
running electricians where it Dleases has al
most completely paralyZed business on either
side. The unfortunate merchants who have
been placed at the mercy of railroad-builders
complain bitterly. Carriages cannot reach the
fashionable stores, and with clouds of dust and
dirt filling the air fine clothing is ruined in
passing along the street.
With this state OF affairs confronting the
kearDy-street merchants a mechanics jubilee
was opportunely conceived and is now being
held. The origlnators OF this Idea are the
Raphaels.
The continuous streams OF people that passed
