dressed Mr.. Garrett as follows:

SAN Francisco, Aug. 30, 1894.
MeSSrs. W. z. Garrett d Co., San Fa'an-
ciSco-GENTLEMEN / inclose you here
with copy of an item which appeared in
the Oakland department of the San Fran
cisco Examiner, August 23d. l wish you
would kindly investigate this and advise
me if any representative of the Southern
Pacific Company has called upon you to
influence you either as to the hiring or
discharging Of any men in your employ,
If so, please state the facts, and if you
have not been approached by any repre-
sentative Of the Southern Pacific, and es-
pecIally OF this department.. 1 wish you
would so state in your communication to
me.
Kindly give this your early attention.
and oblige yours truly,
Il. P ScHwER1N.
The reply of Messrs. w. T. Garrett &,
Co. to this was as follows:
SAN Francisco, Aug. 81, 1894.
The Southern Pacific Company, Il. p
Scha0e9tn, Manager Il. d, s., Ctty-DEAR
SIR: Replying 10 yours of the 30th inst
regarding Examiner article of August
23d: The statements made therein are
false III every particular. We never had
any such man as X. j. Martin in our en-
ploy; neither have we been approached in
any way by any representative OF the
Southern Pacific Company, or your de-
partment, with any kind of request
affecting any Of our employees or our atti-
tude toward any Of them. We regret
that any statement of the kind published
in the IE.cGHltneg should have appeared.
as 1t does great injustice 10 both your
company and ourselves, and it is our in
tention, if possible, to md out who is re-
sponsible for such wholesale falsehood.
Yours truly, W. L. GARRETT d Co.
tBy a. l.. Taylor, Secretary

The ErGHtitcr gave a great deal of news
and editorial space TO the specific state-
ment that Robert j. Martin, discharged
employe OF the Southern Pacific, had Sc
cured work at CARROTS brass foundry:
that the foreman OF CARROTS foundry had
discharged him because the Southern Pa
cific Company gave the foundry about
$40. 900 worth OF work year, and stated
plainly that Martins discharge was neces-
sary TO the retention of the patronage.
Certainly the allegations were clear
enough; the bill of particulars was clearly
drawn, and the charges showed the rail-
road company in very bad light. But
they were untrue; the denials are Just as
specific and much more reliable. Gar
retps foundry never employed Robert j.
Martin, or any such person; CARROTS S
foreman had never been approached by
any representative of the Southern Pa
cific Railroad Company with any request
concerning or affecting any employe of
the foundry; and, in short, the whole
story is untrue, connection printed
merely to injure the people whom the
paper desired to make odioas; tissue of
falsehoods intended to destroy the busi-
ness OF Garrett's foundry as well as 10
hurt the railroad
The attention of the Erdmine7. is re-
spectfully called to this correspondence.
Our contemporary may now rise to a
question of privilege.

ated the best impression and was enthu-
siastically received. His vivid and hui
morous portrayal of the characteristics
of "Chad," the old servant of ''befo' de
wah" days. was no less captivating than
his picture of the light-hearted. lovable,
irresistible colonel and dear Miss
Nancy.
When he opened ''the umbrella" it
was to give a running account of eX-
periences abroad, and some of the
things that happened to him in the land
Of clear blue skies. and they were no
less amusing than those which he
recounted of his stay in Amsterdam.
His sketch of Capt. Joe, a rough
seafaring hero who saved a ferryboat
by making his arm do duty for a plank,
and who has worked for Mr.. Smith as
foreman in professional services rem
dered the government, was as full Of
bright character pictures. and qnite as
interesting, though in a different way.
as his other readings.
Mr.. Smith is bright in description,
and has the ability to carry his audience
with him to the scenes of his stories.
His personal magnetism Is great.
Mr.. Smith has been entertained during
his stay in the city by Mr.. and Mrs. W.
f. Peet, and Mrs. d. r. Moves gave a
luncheon yesterday in his honor. The
guests were Mr.. and Mrs. Cass Gilbert,
Mr.. and Mrs. r. M. Newport, MIR. and
Mrs. McNeal and DIR. and Mrs. Burne.
Bishop Gilbert, in a few happy remarks,
introduced Mr.. Smith.
The ladies of the art club are pleased
with the success of the entertainment,
