Save Your Fine Ware.

Don't spoil your pretty dishes by letting
them sizzle and soak in the heat of the
stove with meat and eggs and things like
that, for 1t is entirely unnecessary. Have
a set of plain dishes upon which to place
the things that must be kept warm, and
use them for no other purpose. Always
have hot things hot and cold things very
cold, when brought to the table. To heat
china, pile the plates and dishes In the
dishpan and pour boiling water over
them, then dry quickly and send to the
table You will find that by doing this
you get the dishes as hot as though they
had been sizzling for an hour in a Dutch
oven.

ceedings in court until the constitution
ality of the law is tested.
Madison & Burke, the agents Of the
owner. said yesterday:
Five years ago we expended $500 in
plum bing repairs to this house. We took
out old pipe and put in new. We stand
ready now to OBEY the demand OF the
Board of Health to i'm prove the sanitary
condition of the premises, but if an at
tempt shall be made to tear out the inte-
rior we shall resist it in court. There are
many places south of Market street where
the sanitary conditions are much worse
than those at the Globe Hotel. We have
the advice of able lawyers that the Board
OF Health cannot destroy this property.
We lease the property to a number of
tenants. Under the law each tenant must
be notified that the sanitary condition is
defective"
The Globe Hotel was erected in 1850. by
a German named Schaeffer, who had a
great ambition to own and maintain fine
house for the entertainment of German
guests. He had kept a small hotel or
tavern on the premises for several years
prior to 1860, and thus acquired a good
patronage, especially among the Germans.
At that time the Tehama House and the
Oriental Hotel received the cream of the
American patronage, and Schaeffer de-
cided to build an inn worthy of his Ger
man friends. The bricks used in the con-

struction of the house were made at the
brickyard of the Buckleys, then on Larkin
street. near Pacific. It as said that the
granite came from China. To-day there
is ample evidence of superior construction
in the outer walls and foundation.
Among some of the old-timers the story
goes that Schaeffer died while building
operations were in progress, and the execu-
tors of his estate finished the work and
leased the hotel to two Germans. At that
time only few Chinese had settled in San
Francisco. but some years later Chinese
company offered $1400 month for the
premises. The Germans holding the lease
were only paying 5000 month, SO the
executors ousted them and made lease
to the Mongoians. The mouse was i'm
mediately filled throughout with Chinese.
The rent was paid all right for the first
month, but when the next months rent
became due no officers OF the Chinese
company could be found. The Chinese
were in and there was no way to get them
out except by tedious process Of law.
Finally settlement was erected, but the
amount received was much less than the
German tenants had been paying
Another version OF the Globe Hotel's
history is that the builder, Schaeffer, COM
mitted suicide in the saloon of the hotel
In 1861. That version is accepted as the
true one at Madison 81 Burkes Office. Sub
seuuently the executors OF the estate sold
the property to Costar and the latter
leased the premises to the Chinese. The
building now stands in the name of f. E.
HesthaI.
In due time the truth will probably be
evolved from these conflicting traditions
by Al knight of the Sather Banking Com
pany. who is collecting historical data and
ancient photographs relating to this City.
He has access to many valuable scrap
books in the possession of old-timers.
George T. Knox, the notary, James Gabb
and Joseph NJ. Shotwell, manager of the
Merchants Exchange, have distinct recoI-
lections OF the construction of the Globe
Hotel. Mr.. Shotwell lived in that locality

It was Eearly II o'clock of the evening
OF her arrival at the hotel, and going up to
her room on returning from the opera,
where she had gone with some young
people, Miss S. was about to ring for
her maid, when she saw through the mir
ror facing her reflection of mans boot
and also hand clasping an ugly-looking
knife, protruding from under the bed. A
scream was ready to burst from her throat,
but by superhuman effort she controlled
it and commenced humming snatches OF
an opera at the same tine thinking of a
clever plan 10 save both herself and
diamonds; stopping suddenly in the
midst OF her singing she said aloud ::
"There, l left ell my money in the Office
safe and haven't penny for that bill; I'll
send Marie for it." And ringing a bell,
waited with bated breath the maids ap-
pearance. The two minutes that elapsed
seemed like two years.
Marie, she said calmly, as that indi-
vidual came into the room, Ego down to
the office and bring up all my money left
there this morning-here, Ill write you
an order for it, and taking card wrote !:
Burglars hiding in my room; come at
once with belp''-aDd, slipping 1t in an en-
velope, sealed it. "Give this to the pro-
prietor," she continued, "and he will give
you the money"
Miss s. again looked at the bedside to
see if the foot and hand remained visible
no, they had been withdrawn; then, walk
ing over to the piano, she began to sing.
A knock at the door was heard. "Come
ln,' she answered, almost holding her
breath for fear her note had failed in its
mission, but no-there stood the hotel pro-
prietor and by his side two policemen.
Iney Immediately looked under the bed
where Miss s. was pointing with a
highly dramatic gesture, and captured the
burgl ar without any trouble.

How a Woman's Nerve and Quick Wit
Effected His Capture.
A young Philadelphia woman of rather
graceful, dignifed appearance, about %,
had become infatuated with histrionic art.
She was of excellent family, of wealth,
and had thoroughly musical education
at home and in Paris, says the Philadel-
phia Telegraph. To become celebrated
songstress was the dream of her existence,
and when an opportunity occurred for her
to display her vocal powers on the boards
this young woman seized it rapturously,
and, in defiance of her parents wishes.
joined an amateur theatrical company.
The company was to remain in Toledo,
Ohio, only few days, and then go farther
West. The young woman TO whom have
reference had a magnificent set of dia-
monds, worth thousands of dollars, and,
of course, she took those with her, and
also a large sum of money. One OF the
mem bers of the company, who had taken
quarters at the hotel with the others,
suggested th at Miss s. deposit the
money and jewels in the safe, but Miss
s. refused to act upon this suggestion.

The committee of arrangements is plan
ming to surpass everything of the kind
that has occurred before, and with the
avowed purpose Of sending every person
home smiling.
To begin with the price OF adm ission has
been made a quarter of a dollar, and
behind that inducement is big pro-
gramme of sports and dancing and nearly
a hundred prizes.
There will be races for old men and
young men, for married men and single,
and for men who cannot see their feet and
for men who cannot cast a shadow. Even
the professional sprinter will be given a
run for his money.
The prizes in themselves would rival the
combined samples of a special trainload
of drummers, all travelling for different
lines of goods. The man that wins the
gold watch may have to go home with the
man that wins the bottle of Irish whisky.
The girl that wins the sack of -four may
be happy to accept the assistance of the
proud winner of a new silk necktie, while
the fortunate bald-headed winner of the
two bottles of hair-oil may be very willing
10 trade with the fellow that wins the
dozen bottles of beer.
Tim McCarty and Professor Mcmahon,
the irish fiddler, are billed for the jig and
reel music, and the Home Rule Union
Band is engaged to furnish music for the
dancing.
Tie following committees will have
charge of the different features Of the pro-
gramme:

THE RUN TO SACRAMENTO.

The transcoutinental bicycle relay race
arranged by the Examiner and the New
York Journal went off at the disch arge of
pistol exactly at noon yesterday, from a
black line drawn across Market street at
Grant avenue. An immense crowd wit
messed the start.
The first relay, down Market street to the
foot of Howard, was ridden by little
Clotilde and George Devany on their tam
dem, on which they have been seen so
often in Golden Gate PARK. Little Miss
Clotilde carried the packet containing the
message from the War Department to the
general commanding the Department of
the East in New York. They made the
distance TO the foot of Howard street in
four and half minutes, accompanied by
large escort of wheelmen. There the
packet was taken across the bay on tug.
and, arriving there, the relay-rioing from
San Francisco to New York began in ear
nest. The War Departmen message is
inscribed on plate of gold. The general
in New York will receive at the office of
the Journal.
The relay race will be run to make the
best time possible. 1t is a race against
time. 1t will be an admira BILE test of the
practicability of the use of the wheel by
long-distance. couriers. A Nation will
watch. it as it speeds from the Golden
Gate to the Bartholdi Statue. 1t is an
event and a trial of speed and skill of
more than National interest, this flashing
of wheels over mountains and valleys,
rivers and roads that rib and furrow a
continent.
There will be no rest either by day or
night. Snowsheds and forests will be
penetrated in the dark and the desert will
be passed almost as swiftly as it flashes by
the windows OF a car. The packet will be
exchanged at the end OF each relay while
the riders are at full speed. 1t is intended
TO have the Governor of each State sign
an attest of the presence of the relay rider.
The swiftest road riders and racers have
been enlisted in the effort to make the
best time possible from the Pacific to the
Atlantic. The schedule of relays SHOWS
that the lao miles to Sacramento is only
matter of seven hours and fifty nine min
utes, and this gives an idea of the speed
that the race will attempt to maintain un-
til the last swift rider dismounts at the
end of the last relay.

A Curious Balloon Experiment.

An interesting scientific experiment was
made recently in Paris with the aid of
balloon which was sent up from VilIette
at 1880 O'Clock. The object of the expert
ment was to collect a quantity of the at
mosphere at very great altitude for pur-
poses OF analysis. The balloon was. there
fore, sent up alone with the necessary in
struments attached to it. These consisted
OF an entirely new kind of reservoir capa-
BILE OF holding six Iiters of air. To this was
attached spiral arrangement terminating
In tap hermetically sealed, but so ar
ranged with clockwork apparatus that II
would open just one hour after the ascent
and close again one minute later. A good
deal OF INGENUITY had been displayed in.
this invention. In order to preserve the
reservoir from the intense cold of the
upper regions, it was surrounded bv q
bath of sodawater, which was expected to
keep the apparatus at an even temuera-
ture. In addition the balloon also carried
two barc-thermographs for registration
purposes at high attitudes. Attached to
the balloon are instructions to those who
may find it so that it may be carefully
wrapped up and forwarded to Paris forth
