Anglo=CalifOrnia Bank.

The San Francisco branch of the Anglo
California Bank Qimited) was incorporated
on April s. 1873, and it owes its existence
to English and California interests, which
were allied for the purpose of doing a
local commercial and foreign exchange
business. The bank has been eminently
successful and in the course of Its career it
has shipped immense quantities of bull
lion to China, India and other foreign
countries. 1t has contributed largely to
the development of California and has
gained the confidence OF the entire bank
ing world.
The capital stock is So, 00O, 900, of which
over 100000 has been subscribed and
81, 500, 500 paid in. The latest report of the
Bank Commissioners upon the affairs of
the bank is flattering one.
The headquarters of the bank are in
London, and the business in this City is
under the immediate control of Ignatz
Steinhart and P. n. Lilienthal. The names
of the directors are as follows: Isaac Sc
ligman, E. H. Lushington, S. Montefore
and j. Simon. A. L. Seligman is cashier,
H. II. Fowler, NJ. P, and ]. E. Cussans
secretary. The wise and conservative
policy adopted by these fnanciers has
given the bank reputation for stability
that will prove a sufficient guarantee for
the future

Through many stubborn early expert
ences. through good fortune and bad, with
ample opportunity afforded for Shylock to
make his deadly bargains through absence
of usury laws, at last open out in the full
bloom of a settled financial policy the
banks of to-day.
There are five classes of banks-the pri-
vate bank, now almost like the dodo, ex-
tlnct; the foreign bank, always Limited"
organization, incorporated under the laws
of some foreign country and operating
more in the nature of large loan organi-
cation rather than as commercial bank;
the National bank, that, since gold and
paper money came to level and Eastern
capital has become more plentiful, has
slowly but surely grown in favor; the COM
mercial bank, that under State supervision
seems now to do the lions share of bust
ness, and the savings bank, that aids the
frugal in becoming free from want in time
of sickness and distress.
In the financial history OF this country
1895 will be recorded as one of healthy re-
sumption. There has been an almost uni.
versal building up of moneyed lnstitu-
tions, from the retail firm, the wholesale
house and the factory TO the bank. The
banks OF San Francisco have shared this
prosperity, with one exception, that of the
Changers Bank, whose liquidation was
voluntary and by which no depositor loses.
The splendid showing made by San Fran
cisco's banks speaks volumes for their able
management and has had the effect of
strengthening all other lines of business.

The Hibernia Bank.

When a moneyed institution whose
operations extend over a long period of
years is so intrenched in public confidence
as that of the Hibernia Bank, it is simply
one of the well-earned results of safe and
successful management. The magnitude
of its business, as well as its vast resources,
are familiar story to the readers of THE
CALL. Outside of the city of New York
it is the largest savings bank in the United
States, and in the amount of its resources
there is but one exceeds it in America.
In the report to the State Board of Bank
Commissioners made November 1, 1895,
under the requirements of the present law,
another chapter is added to the society S
history of uninterrupted prosperity.
From the above statement the total re-
sources of the bank are shown to be $34,-
671, 251 26. United States bonds and other
first-class securities it holds of total value
of IS, 291, 0S9 16 and the amount due de-
positors is $31, 524, 800 SO.
No stronger expression of the solidity of
this great savings institution could be fur
nished than this stupendous array of fig
culiarly their OWE. The history of San
FRANCISCO, DrlmluI OF strange surprises as
it is, cannot parallel the striking contrast
between the rude building of 1859 in
which the society had its birth and the
stately structure of classic architecture,
one of the city's monuments, at the corner
of Market, Jones and McAllister streets,
which is its present home. The bank owns
and occupies the entire building.
The president is James r. Kelly and the
familiar figure of Robert ]. Tobih remains
at the secretary's post.

TITLE INSURANCE.
1t Is of Great Interest to Property
Owners and Purchasers and Real
Estate and Money Brokers'.

There is, perhaps, no part of the United
States where the purchase of real estate
should be attended with a greater degree
of caution than in this City. This is not
for the reason that any great degree of
fraud has been practiced in the numerous
transfers of property that have taken
country, but for the reason that, owing
to the conflict between the American and
Mexican systems of acquiring title to real
property, the subject began in confusion
and has maintained uncertainty and con-
fusion ever since. Besides, when property
had no intrinsic value but that gained by
its adaptabilit to grazing purposes, there
was general ca7elessness observed in real
estate transfers that, if pursued in these
latter days, would prove extremely disas-
trous to the property-buyer.
The time for such state Of things is
past, and with the rapid increase of values
has come the necessity for the utmost care
In view of the considerable number of
title suits brought during the last few
months and the probable increase in real
estate tran sactions the coming season, no
enterprise is of more Importance to real
esIdLe OWueIS anu buyers tudn Ine pldn OF
the California Title Insurance and Trust
Company. This institution, of which ex-
Mayor L. R. Ebert is the manager, is not
only in position to absolutely guarantee
the title to piece of properly for pur-
chasers, but is in a position to render
invaluable assistance to brokers by facili-
tating sales.
OF no less value is this company in the
financial world, as its policies are the basis
upon which the mortgages in the City are
placed by many of the capitalists and saw
ings banks.
The company is formed by local capital
lists and business men, who have paid up a
substantial capital stock, and invested
their surplus means where it has benefited
the whole community. This company has
certainly already performed an invaluable
service to the property owners of this City,
in view of the fact that their guarantee
practically establishes the title to any
piece of property in the County.

"Chino has taken the initiative in South
ern California in the beet-sugar industry.
and has demonstrated its great utility and
value to such an extent that many other
localities are taking steps to secure similar
establishments. Just i've years ago, when
the sugar industry was established here.
the town of Chino was mere hamlet
surrounded by 10000 acres of mostly
unbroken soil of the most fertile character.
The transformation in the country during
these three years has been a marvel.
About 10000 acres of land have been
brought under cultivation of the most
thorough character, and homes have
sprung up on every hand. The town has
grown from the cluster Of houses to the
thriving business center, with all the adj
iuncts and comforts of modern life. I'm
like that Of many Southern California
towns it has been an exogenous rather
than an indigenous growth, the town
building up only as the conditions conse-
quent on the settlement of the surrounding
country demanded.
"Chino is essentially a farming COM
munity, with no elements of boom growth
in it, but the products of the soil are them
selves building up prosperity that no
boom fluctuations can affect.
During the rast year there were 1000
acres devoted to beets on Chino ranch,
with very satisfactory results to the farm
ers, about 800 OF whom were engaged in
the work. A very large amount of labor
was also employed on the crop. There
were harvested and delivered to the fac
tory from these fields over $1,000 tons of
beets, which we're paid for at the rate of

The Sather Banking Co.

This institution has been in existence
for thirty years, and its prosperous and
successful record is due to its wise and
conservative management. The Sather
Banking Company Is composed of San
Francisco's most substantial citizens, and
their standing and character are recog-
nized everywhere IN the financial world.
The monetary crises to which all COM
munities are subject, and of which San
Francisco and the State have had their
full share IN the past quarter of century,
produced no effect on the prosperous
career of this financial concern.
The bank has capital of 81 ,000 900 and
is located on the southeast corner of Pine
and Sansome streets. It's management is
in the hands of the following gentlemen:
James K. Wilson, president; G. F. A. Tai
bot vice-president, and Lewis I. Cowgirl,
cashier.

The Mutual Savings Bank
of San Francisco.

The Mutual Savings Bank of San Fran
cisco, whose place of business is 80 Post
street, in the Mechanics Institute build
ing was incorporated November q, 1899,
and commenced business in the year 1890
with the late James G. Fair as president,
and the late James Phelan and S. G.: Muir
ply president of the First National Bank
as its ce-presidents. Among the stock
holders are some OF the most prominent
and wealthy business men, among them
being Joseph Britton, Samuel Blair, G.
Carpey, ex-Mayor Grace of New York,
Joseph D. Grant, Charles Holbrook (of
Hoibrook, Merrill & Stetson), Sidney NJ.
Smith, E. & S. Heller, +. S. Winsinger, T.
J. Moynihan, Herbert Kraft (banker at
Red Bluff, F. E. Johnston (the Napa at
torney), William Haas and fifty or sixty
other citizens of San Francisco.
The present Board of Directors consists
of James d. Phelan, its president, S. G..
Murphy and John A. Hooper, vice-presi-
dents, C. G. Hooper, L. P. Drexler, Joseph
D. Grant, Frank J. Sullivan, James Motif,
r. McElroy. Since its organization George
a. Story has been its assistant cashier
and cashier, which position he now holds.
Capital stock paid il in gold coin is
$500, 900, while the guaranteed capital
stock is 81 900, 000-that is to say, the stock
holders at any time may be called upon to
pay the other $7OO,O which is an addi-
tional guarantee to depositors, besides the
well-known standing of the gentlemen in
its management. 1t has paid regular
semi-annual dividends to depositors, rang
ing from to per cent per annum, and it
has accumulated a surplus of $4,000, its
stock being quoted at so per cent above
par.
Its deposits now aggregate $4,000, 900.
and the Bank Commissioners report shows
that the average deposit amounts to
$u10 there being 1871 individr al deposit
tors. The number of deposits less than
$1,000 is 1921, which shows the popular
character of the bank. 1t is the expecta-
ton of the directors to erect a banking
building for the use of this growing in
stitut1on at some early date, which will
probably be an architectural adornment
to one of our leading thoroughfares.
Steady growth and conservative manage
ment are the characteristics of this bank
during the six years of its progressive
prosperity. 1t invites deposits from the
people and makes loans on real estate,
bonds and stocks, and enjoys full share
of public patronage and confidence.

This amounted in the aggre-

81 30 per ton. This amounted in the aggre-
gate to 1914, 100, which was distributed
among the farmers on CHINO rapcn and
other adjacent localities.
1.-THE farmers individual crops show an
income of from $50 to $3.50 per acre gross
from the crop. Many farmers have bought
land and paid for it from the proceeds of
beets raised. and many who came here
with no capital and heavily in debt are
now in comfortable circumstances.
"The manufacturing campaign in the
sugar factory commenced this year on July
5. and from that time to November Is,
when the last beet was sliced, steam was
never shut off, Slicing OF 'beets was kept
up constantly until 81, 400 tons were worked
up. The factory reached capacity OF over
$50 tons of beets day, with daily out
put of nearly 100000 pounds OF raw sugar.
The entire output of the factory Tor the
season was &c, 900 pounds. This prod
uct if loaded on cars standing In line
would make $50 standard carloads-a sofld
train about five miles in length.
when the future history of this section
of California shall be written up the name
of Richard Grid will stand out in bold
type The record of his enterprise and
generosity will fill one of the brightest
pages, and will shine forth with greater
luster by reason of his having done his
work at the proper time. He has done
everything in his power to develop all the
important interests in the State.
.sDoing good work just at the right time
makes it much better. California had at
the right time it's Charles Croker, its

''In spite of the hates and prejudices,
real or imaginary, just or unjust. because
of the accumulation of vast estates by
these men, we owe debt OF gratitude
which we can never repay to those whose
courage and foresight opened up for our
advantage, as we'll as their own, this vast
empire on the Pacific"

The large volume of foreign business
transacted by the San Francisco agency OF

THE FOOLS CHALK MARKS.

When a man acts as if his brain was in a
cramp and was doubled up with spasmodic
coptortions like boy with collie. il is time
he was given dose Of paregoric, or some
other equally effective anodyne. Mayor Pin
gree, OF Detroit. has all the symptoms of
mind collie, and needs the immediate attention
OF his friends.
For some time past Mayor Pingree has
been a sort of an official windmill that has
yeered around all sides of public questions
ana had the squeak of an unbalanced mentaI
gear. Instead Of acting with the dignity and
decorum his position demands, he has quar-
relied with the city officials and made him
self generally obnoxious to the public. He
has become so unpopular that the Detroit
newspapers refuse to publish his errstic
views on public questions, and ignore his ex-
istence as much as if he had never been born.
To keep himself before the people, or,
rather, to publish his peculiar ideas. Mayor
Pingree has purchased fifty blackboards,
which have been erected in different parts Of
Detroit. II requires no lightning calculator
10 record the Pingreeisms Of public finance,
nor is If necessary TO write the absurdities of
the city fool according TO the belief OF the
public But Mayor Pingree does not think 30,
and consequently the blackboards.
There is one thing, however, on which
Mayor Pingree is level-headed. In his cha
grin at the press for refusing to notice his
eccentricities he has not started an opposition
newspaper. His blackboard idea may be
crude and ridiculous, but it has the merit of
economy. In that much he shows good

FORD THEATER DISASTER.

Compensation for the Survivors and
Friends OF the VictimsiFar Distant.
More than year ago the two houses Of
Congress created joint commission of their
members TO determine the amounts to be
paid to the relatives of those killed in the
Ford Theater disaster and to the survivors of
it who were crippled and MANNED.
Yesterday the first meeting of that com
mission was held, but nothing positive re-
suited save an informal agreement that an
amendment making provision for the pay
ment of the death claims should be attempted
to be engrafted upon the sundry civil
appropriation bill. There are twenty-eight
of these. and last winter the Senate decided
to allow $1,000 in each of them, making
a total of S105, 200.
The House members OF the commission
appear to think that sliding scale should be
adopted according to the necessities of the
bereft families. The Senate members will re-
sist this suggestion, and II is probable, there
fore, that no action will be had at this session
of Congress. although another meeting of
the joint commission will probably be held in
few days.
1t may be year or more before the sur
vivors or the families of those who perished
in that catastrophe will get their money and
many of them are feeling the pangs of want
on account of the delay.
