private Office are of ornamental glass. The
liberal use of glass not only impresses one
with sense of cleanliness, but adds much
to the attractiveness of the restaurant,
especially under the blaze of its 1000 mean
descent electric lights.
The reading-room is decorated in gold
and white shades, relieved with gold leaf,
while the billiard-room, which also opens
off the barroom, is decorated in harmony
with the woodwork, which is of light
shade.
The refrigerating plant is novel, no ice
being used, cooling being accomplished by
mechanical refrigeration. The capacity of
the plant, which is located in the rear base
ment, is equivalent to the melting of ten
tons of ice every twenty-four honrs. 1t is
the first of the kind ever put up on the
coast for restaurant purposes, and is such
plant as is used for cooling breweries,
coldstorage and packing-houses.
The kitchen is perfect marvel of neat
ness, and, situated as it is, completely sep
arated from the dining-rooms, the latter
can never be penetrated by the odors aris-
ing from cooking. The menu will always
be elaborate, and the name of the proprl-
of the highest order.
Charles A. Zinkand, the owner and de-
signer of many of the original and metro
politan features in the arrangement and
ornamentation of this cafe. is strictly a
self-made man. Upon his arrival in New
York City in 1873 he secured employment
as a mechanic in the manufacturing estab-
lishment of Simon Brothers, one of the
largest trunk factories in this country.
After six months of diligent work he was
made foreman of department. AT the
end of two years he became superintend-
ent of the factory. After three more years
had elapsed, at the age of 90, he came to
San Francisco and opened branch house
for the firm.
Success still attended his efforts, for at
the expiration of the first twelve months in
this City he was elevated to partnership.
After a time Mr.. Zinkand concluded to
withdraw from the firm for no other rea-
son than there were too many heads to the
institution. About the same time Mr..

polish being relieved by the artistic sign
work on the heavy beveled plate-glass
doors. AS one passes through the vesti-
bule entrance there is a cigar-stand on the
right opening into each department, while
on the right of the ladies' entrance there is
q foWeT-stand.
On entering either of the departments
one is amazed at the richness and extent
of the place, for each department may be
seen from every other through the French
plate-glass which surmounts the low wood
paneled partitions. Magnificent mirrors
adorn all the exterior walls and their
polished surfaces reflect and refract the
luxurious appointments of the interior
until the entranced beholder may well i'm
agine himself or herself lost in the laby-
ninth mazes of glittering dream of de-
light. Take the establishment in its en-
tirety it is safe to say that nothing else in
the line of architectural construction has
excited so much curiosity or comment in
San Francisco. 1t is the object of adj
miration to architect and layman alike.
The floors throughout are real mosaic
and cover 5000 square feet of space, the
largest devoted to restaurant purposes in
San Francisco. The walls of each depart
ment have 16-inch base OF Tennessee
marble, with finish above to the height
of twelve feet of different natural woods,
with paneled wainscotlng, ornamental pill
asters, cornices, etc., with rich wood carv-
ing.
The ladies' department is divided with a
partition of beveled French-plate mirrors,
and is finished throughout with mahogany
and curled redwood, decorated with an
artistic cupid frieze with flower pieces
painted below, while the ceiling is laid out
in square frescoed panels. The decorations
are restful to the eye and blend harmoni-
ously with the woodwork.
The grillroom and barroom are finished
in quarter-sawed oak, highly polished.
The walls and ceilings of these depart

grillroom being in dark olive background
and harmonious shades, relieved with a

Greene, then proprietor of the Louvre at
Eddy and Powell streets, was looking for a
partner, and without solicitation made a
proposition to Mr.. Zinkand, which was ac-
cepted. Regardless of cash, he found the
right man, for during his connection the
success OF the Louvre financially was
doubled. The idea of selling his interest
in the place would never have occurred but
for the sickness of Mrs. Zinkand, for it is
an undoubted fact that the Louvre was do
ing at that time very profitable business.
Being obliged to take Mrs. Zinkqnd from
the City on account of her protracted sick
ness, from which. she afterward died, he
sold his interest. This was three years ago.
During his retirement from business he
travelled extensively in this country and
Europe, which explains how so many for
eign ideas have been Americanized, as it
were, in Cafe Zinkand.
Associated with Mr.. Zinkand are his two
sons. The eldest boy, Ferdinand Zinkand,
is % years of age, and has served an ap-
premiership with the Anheuser Busch
Company Brewing Association of San
Luis Obispo, from which he comes recon-
mended as a competent brewmast He
will prove valuable assistant to his father
in charge of the fine stock of beers and
wines of Cafe Zinkand. The Anheuser
Busch beer, for which Charles A. Finland
has secured the agency, received the high
est award as the purest and best beer at
the Worlds Fair at Chicago, which fact it
will be remembered was sustained by the
United States Supreme Court in a recent
decision.
The second son, Willie Zinkand, who
has passed his examination at Heald's
Business College and been honored with a
diploma, will be valuable assistant in
keeping the accounts of the cafe.
Prosper B. Reiter, five years at the Pal
ace, occupies the position of manager
From Delmonicos in New York he was
brought to this coast by Sharon under
four-year contract to open the Palace Ho-
tel grillroom and city restaurant. He is a
very popular young man, of fine qualifca-
tons for the position he now holds.
1t is only through such enterprising and
intelligent effort as that shown by the pro-
prietor of this cafe that San Francisco may
expect to maintain the proud distinction
of being the metropolis of the Pacific
Coast. The opening of restaurant on
such grand scale will prove material
benefit to the City, and an accomplish
ment of which every one may feel proud.
By reason of its beauty and undoubted
popularity it will serve as an inspiration
to others to emulate its fine proportions
and striking architectural effects. 1t will
be one of the places OF unusual interest of

THE POET GOT HIS BATH.
Joaquin Miller's Adventure With Four
Admirers at His Home Near
Oakland.

| 1t has long been charged against the
people OF California that they do not give
due recognition to their men and women
OF genius. Up in bis eyrie on East Oak
land Heights, however, Joaquin Miller is
signing for less recognition of certain
sort. He is overrun with ion-hunters
who purloin his manuscripts, steal his
books, peer through his windows, and
even carry off his coats, gloves and hand.
kerchiefs. To such extent has this van
dalism been carried that he has re-
sorted to the expedient of mailing fast to
the walls of his apartments anything that
he really desires to keep.
On Wednesday of this week four we'll
dressed women presented themselves at
the Heights and demanded to see the poet.
Mr.. Miller had just come in from the fields.
1t is no figure of speech when the poet OF
the Sierras speaks of himself as laboring
man. During the busy season on his
ranch he is a-field in the early morning,
and has usually done hard days work
about the time business men in the city
are getting down to their daily tasks.
The work about the farm done it is the
poets custom to go to his cabin, take a
bath and retire to his bed, where he de-
votes the rest of the day to literary work.
He was just preparing his bath when the
four pilgrims to the shrine of poesy ap-
peared at his door.
"We have come to see Joaquin Miller"
1hey announced.
Miller surveyed them. They were all
strangers to him. He was dusty, hungry
and tired from his morning IS labors. There
was manuscript that must be got off.
"You must excuse me, ladies'" he said.
81 am about to take bath and cannot see
any one this morning."
The women paid no heed. Instead, they
gaZed about the room, commented upon
the decorations, asked questions and
watched the poet getting the water ready
for his bath. After waiting reasonable
time for the motion to adjourn the Bard of
the Heights removed his hat. Then he
paused.
us this where you do your writing, Mr..
Miller?" the spokeswoman asked.
This is where l take my bath" he said i.
The remark passed apparently un-
needed, and the poet removed his coat.
Still his guests gazed and chatted. The
water for his bath was rapidly cooling.
He removed his vest.
"Where does that door lead to, Mr.. Mil
ler?"
at leads out of DOORS" was the reply.
Still the ladies fingered, and the singer
OF the Sierras undid his necktie and
dropped his suspenders from his shoulders.
Then he unlaced his shoes.
The situation was growing interesting,
not to say dramatic. The visitors gazed
at the poet. The poet returned their gaze.
Then he dipped his fingers in the water
to test its temperature. Then his choler
began to rise in earnest. He turned to the
leader of the invasion. Il am about to
take bath" he explained, land think
you will prefer to retire" Shooting them
gently before him, like so many hens. he
was finally able to close the door upon
them.

home, II call that COOL"
The bath water was also cool.

DEMOCRATS IN CONVENTION
Friends of the Various Candidates Work ing Hard to Secure Harmony in
 the Ranks.

SPRINGFIELD, O., Aug. 20.-There is anything but clear sky over hanging the State Democratic con vention which is today indulging in the skirmishing fire preparatory to the great battle expected to attend the adoption of the platform and the nomination of the candidates, or, more truly, the adoption of a plat form, for the candidates will be selected by those who are able to dictate the money plank of the plat form. While the followers and op- ponents of Senator Brice are each buckling on their armor and burnish- ing up their arms in anticipation o the fray, the older leaders of the party are scurrying about today counciling harmony in the interest of the party and Democratic success at the polls in November. The free sil- yer movement of three months past 1 is now to be recognized as distinc- | IlHeIY du oO that there is little danger that the 1 convention tomorrow will adopt a free silver resolution. Such a move would not be countenanced by the commit ee on resolutions, nor would one censuring Senator Brice receive recognition as the committee is practically at the beck and call ol the senator. A resolution favoring the return of Senator Brice to the senate is more probable. All through last night and this morning Brice has maintained his Sphnix-like si- lence in regard to the slate" and all is yet doubt and uncertainty as to who will be selected to head ahe
 ticket. The names to be heard most are those of ex-Governor James E.
 Campbell, John A. McMahon, oi Dayton; Judge Hunt, of Cincinnati
 Congressman Paul J. Sorg, Howard Douglas, of Cincinnati. and Col
 James Kilbourne, of Columbus.
