Just eleven days ago an order of court was
issued, and as the Sheriff has only eleven
days in which to act Mr.. Vassault had to
be removed willy-nilly.
AS the old pioneer did not make any
preparations TO obey the order of the court
three deputy sheriffs were sent down to
carry it out. When o'clock came their
patience was exhausted and the old man
and his belongings were bundled into the
street. A few minutes later an express
wagon drove up and the old-time books
and newspapers, the records OF many a real
estate transaction in early days, several
pictures of San Francisco as it appeared in
40, 80 and 81, and a number of old law
books were bundled into it and carted
away.
A certificate signed by Isaac BIuxom as
secretary and J: E. Woodwork as presi-
dent showed that Ferdinand Vassault had
been member of the Vigilance Commit
tee organized in 1851, and an old woodcut
showed Vassault and several other promi-
nent vlgilantes in attendance upon the
execution of Cora. These pictures Mr..
Vassault took away under his arm.
Ferdinand Vassault came to San Fran
cisco early in 1S49. 1t was his father who
negotiated the sale of Louisiana on the
part of France to the United States. On
his way home after accomplishing his mis-
sion the father died and the family emf
in San Francisco the young man started in
connection with several New York houses
the firm of F. Vassault & Co.
There were no roads in those days, and
in order to get his goods TO the outlying
settlers Vassault contracted with the
United States to build the old Mission road.
1t cost him $173, 000 and most of the money
was sunk where the road crosses the old
Mission Creek, between Seventh and
Eighth streets. An attempt was made TO
pile the approaches, but the timbers sank
out of sight as soon as pile-driver struck
them. The difficulty was finally over
come by means of large timbers which
were laid crosswise, one on top Of the
other, and so forming primitive can't
lever bridge.
Eassault d Co. branched out and estab-
hshed an agency in Sacramento, and in
the SOS the head of the house was one of
the leading men in the young city. Like
all the pioneers he had his ups and downs,
but finally bad luck overlook him. He
was sec Rotary of the Pioneers for several
years but dispute over money matters
caused him to resign. Latterly he has
been earning precarious living as real
estate agent, but yesterday the Sheriff cut
his career short by setting him out in the
street.

ADJUTANH GBNBRALSHIP.
APPOINTMENT OF COLONEL Shell
DON |. KELLOGG TO THE OFFICE
CONSIDERED CERTAIN.
The RETIRED NATIONAL GUARDS
MAN TO BE HONoRED BY
THE GOVERNOR.

The struggle for the Office of adjutant-
general of California, which has been in
progress ever since Governor Budd's cleo
ton was assured, has about closed, and the
friends of Colonel Sheldon I. Kellogg of
this city now assert that he will surely be
the Governors choice for that office.
Some of the most influential men con-
nected with the National Guard in this
city and Oakland have taken an active in
terest in Colonel Kellogg's fight. There
were several other candidates in the field
chief among whom were J. Chalmers Scott
of San Diego and Park Henshaw,,of Chico.
All of the gentlemen named had good
backing, but from authoritative sources it

1t would seem that in dentistry as well
as in WAYS that are dark 1.-The heather Chi
nee is peculiar" c. Robins has commu-
nicated some curious essays on the subject
written in English by Chinese students at
the Anglo-C Chinese College, Foochow. They
describe in quaint language the perform
ances of the dentists, who are usually itin-
Grants of the Sequah order.
They appear to have three methods of
treatment: First, extraction, the pa
TENTS attention being distracted and his
lamentations overpowered by the beat
ing of loud gong; second, the application
of arsenic to kill an exposed pulp, and
third, the extraction Of tooth worms. F"
The latter operation, usually performed by
women. is very frequently resorted to, and
undoubtedly worms are produced from the
tooth. as these amateur dentists adopt the
same principle as the lithotomist in the
story-who used always TO provide against
finding his diagnosis had been mistaken
by taking a pebble of suitable size IN his
waistcoat pocket-and themselves intro
duce these worms, which are usually con-
cealed under their long tngernails. A
Chinese student describes the operation
thus 1--WE give his own words):
Now let me advert to the practice OF ar
resting the tooth worms. One OF my rela-
tives was once attacked by severe cold,
and after the cold was broken up by restor-
ing activity to the skin he had neuralgia
which gave him such an intense suffering
that he could neither eat nor repose, but
moaned with voice so audible and so
plaintivc that it sent thrill to the heart

and is constructed on the simplest philo-
sophical principles applicable to the con-
centration of ores.
1.-THE belt upon which the pulp is con-
veyed from the battery or other pulveriz-
ing Devices said Mr.. Ellis, sis travel
ing or moving one, as used on many other
COMMENTATORS but differs radically from
all others in that it is filled with small
batea or pan-like depressions, and when
the machine is in operation a rotary or circu-
lar motion is impaired to the travelling
belt, and to each one of many bateas so
that the motion and the result produced is
precisely like that impaired to the batea or
miners pan by the most skillful hand.
IF during the operation any of the
heavier metal-bearing portions of the pulp
or concentrates escape from one of the
bateas it will surely be caught up by some
of the many hundreds of the others and be
perfectly separated from the gangue or
lighter portions before it reaches the lower
end of the travelling belt and be deposited
clean in the receptacle attached to the ma
chine for that purpose
'The concentrator works very rapidly,
and from practical working tests it is esti-
mated that the four-foot belt machine will
handle fifteen to twenty tons of ordinary
pu 10 in twenty-four hours, and that the
six-foot belt machine will handle about
double that quantity of like pulp in. twen-
ty-four hours.
at has been demonstrated that all the
gold and amalgam which may escape from
amalgamating plates OF the mill will be
caught from the belt of the machine and
deposited with the sulphurets. The values
saved, as shown by various tests upon ores
difficult to concentrate, were upward of so

FOOD OF GENIUS.
Fish Does Not Help to Build Up Brain
Matter.

Fish Does Not Help to Build Up Brain
Matter.
1t is extremely improbable that genius
derives any peculiarly appropriate nutri-
ment from fish diet and it is certain that
genius gives no thought to the subject. Mr..
Carlyle and Lord Tennyson smoked pipes
because they were men enough to smoke
pipes-but we do not suppose that cigar
cites would have made decadent of Mr..
Carlyle or an ''impressionist' of Sir Joshua
Reynolds. The style and character of DR..
Johnson remained the same, whether he
drank lemonade and tea or port and
punch.
Old Satchells boldly AYERS that brandy
makes the poet, but his poetry would have
had the same complexion had he RECALLED
his muse with whisky. On champagne and
ortolans Burns would have written neither
better nor worse than on collops and toddy.
In another field of excellence it is likely
that to smoke pipe and drink glass OF
beer would not add or subtract couple OF
strokes from Taylor's usual round on the
links. 1t is not because of his great appe-
tite for beef that Sir Andrew Aguecheek
fell below lofty intellectual standard. We
do not know whether Shakespeare had any
favorite dish
About Thackeray's and Johnsons favor
tie dishes we know great deal, but are
psychologically none the wiser. Apprecia-
ton of cochkyleeky does not account for
the statesmanlike qualities or defects OF
James VI. Whatever Mr.. Gladstone s
favorite food may be it is probably none OF
the rough-and- ready dainties celebrated by
Homer, and it is not to be thought
that he takes grated cheese in his claret,
like Nestor. In short, food and genius
have nothing to do with each other, and
the most popular novelists are not to be
distinguished at dinner-time from mere
enthusiastically Review.

AN INVENTION THAT IS LOOKED
UPON WITH FAVOR BY
MINING EXPERTS.

Henry Rives Ellis, the assayer at 31S
Pine street, has invented machine for the
concentration of ores that is regarded by
mining engineers and experts as valua-
BILE improvement. 1t is in fact an i'm
proved concentrator, and mining men who
have seen it in operation at the metallur-
gical works are enthusiastic in their praise
The machine is nothing more than the
incorporation of the odd banning method
of mining, which was the best method and
which has never been improved upon,

The Offices at Fourth and Townsend
FILLED With Damaged Coffee.

-
The Southern Pacific Company has
found tenant for the big brick building
at Fourth and Townsend which was va
Gated when the executive offices of the
company were moved uptown. 1t is now
a coffee warehouse-not for the finest
Mocha or choice Java-but for moldy,
damaged Central American coffee that will
probably ultimately form an adjunct to
the 'sinkers" served at the cafes along the
water front. On the last voyage up Of the
City of Sydney it was found that several
hundred sacks OF coffee on board were
damaged, and the consignees refused to
accept it and took its value instead from
the Pacific Mail Company.
The Mail Company now has the coffee
on its hands and is drying it out on the
floors of the old offices of its good friend,
the Southern Pacific Company Most OF
the offices in the lower floor are covered
with the bean.

has been aScertained that Governor Budd
has selected Colonel Kellogg, and that he
would formally appoint him within the
next few days.
Colonel Sheldon I. Kellogg is a native of
Cincinnati, Ohio, where he was born in
OF that city, where he located in 1918. Col
onel Kellogg was educated in France and
Germany, and in the latter sixties went to
New York, where he identified himself
with military affairs for several years. He
served with credit for some time in the
Twenty-third Regiment, National Guard
OF New York.
In 1874 Colonel Kellogg came to this city
and for some years engaged in the gun
and ammunition business. He is now con-
nected with Shreve & Co. as bookkeeper
and correspondent.
Since his arrival here Colonel Kellogg
has served in the National Guard both as
private and officer. he was second lieu
tenant of the old First Infantry Regiment
in June. 1875. In January, 1876, he was
made assistant adjutant general and since
that time he has been an officer OF the Oak
land Light Cavalry, Second Artillery Reg
iment. Fifth Artillery Regiment. On jan
uary 8, 1891, he was retired, after contin-
nous service of almost sixteen years in the
National Guard of this State.
Colonel Kellogg is man of many ster-
ling qualities and possesses to high degree
that tirmneSs and executive capacity neces-
sary to the complete discharge of the
duties of the Office to which be has been
called, having an intimate knowledge of
National Guard affairs and possessing a
character that is above reproach.
Chicago Theaters Usedfas Churches.
1t is said that the theaters in the bust
ness district of Chicago take in more money
on an average Sunday night than is taken
III by all the amusement enterprises of any
other open Sunday town in America.
If this be true it may also be said that
probably nowhere else are SO many thea
tiers converted into churches Sunday morn
ing.
At IL o'clock in the morning the stage is
a sanctuary, with dim light falling through
Gothic windows and minister in plain
black softly reading to an orderly but rust
ling congregation.
Exactly ten hours from that time the
same stage is hung with jeweled nonsense,
flooded by calcium light and filled with
capering ballet girls.
There is an orthodox prejudice against
holding religious services in a playhouse,
but it has been overcome in Chicago.
Every Sunday morning there are services
at McVicker's Theater Hooley's Theater,
the Grand Opera-house and Central Music
Hall. Sunday-schoosis held in the Schil-
Ter building. Smaller halls, such as may
forum or Athenaum, are used as meet
ing-placeS for denominations limited in
membership. -Chicago Records
