months, the Indians took refuge In the
lava beds. which gave them numerous
opportunities to ambush the soldiers
Gen. Canbys views were rather on the
side OF mercy than of justice. and IN
letter 10 the department at Washington,
but four days before his death. he out
lined policy which. but for the treacn-
cry OF the Indian leaders, would have
averted long and sanguinary war.

LEAP YEAR PETRs.
They Are Likely to Prove Feature Among
the Winter Entertainments,

They Are Likely to Prove Feature Among
the Winter Entertainments.
Leap-year entertainments will be a feature
here this winter, more especially among the
younger set, as, after all, this mode of enter
tanning only appeals wildly to the debutante.
Older women very much prefer to be served
than to serve, and even the rare privileges that
this year gives are not, as rule, available in
our present state OF society. But to the young
maiden what is more delightful than to feel
that for once things are in her hands, that she
does the asking for eotillon and supper, that
she. can Walk unprotected and unescorted
through the breadth and the length of the
wide hall and can realize all the glories and
independence of mankind in these scenes of
revelry.
The first ball of this kind this season was
given in Oakland last Wednesday evening.
There the leap-year features were carried out to
perfection, and the young men behaved with a
modeSty ana discretion worthy of all imitation.
The Cotillon, or, more correctly speaking, the
Friday Night Club is always the signal for
much entertaining, both before the cotillon
and atterward. Quite number of dinners
were given last evening, among others those t
Mr.. and Mrs. Samuel knight, at their home, on
Van Ness avenue. Their guests were princi-
paly composed of the wedding party and were
Miss Ella Goodan, Miss Bessie Shreve Miss
Mamie Houghton, Miss Ella Morgan, Z. H.
sheldon, Harry NJ. Holbrook. E. NJ. Greenway
and +. L. Owen.
Among others who gave dinners were MIR.
and Mrs. Henry 7. Scott, at their residence cor
ner of Clay and Laguna streets.
The San Francisco calling list for 1896 is at
hand and shows evidence of the same careful
compilation and observance of detail that dis
tinguished this book when it was got out
several years ago. The book was got up by
Croker & Co.
The Bachelors and Benedicts of Oakland
gave their second eotillon of the season in
Militia Hall last Wednesday evening About
seventy-fve couples were present, who par
tleipated in the cotillon, which was leap
year one and led by Miss Amy Mckee. After
supper, which was served at midnight, in
formal dancing was enjoyed for an hour or So.

DIE FASTER THAN WOMEN.
Startling Health Office Figures
on the Male Death
Rate.
BIRTHS DO NOT MAKE IT UP.
In the Year Ending June 80, 1893, 1885
More Males Than Females
Passed Away.

If the figures OF the local Health Officer
are accurate and are forecast of the
future, when the new woman comes into
the estate for which she is battling her
victory over man will be barren one-for
man will be dead.
The erstwhile tyrant will be extinct.
In most communities the women out
number the men, and San Francisco is no
exception to the rule, but few places on
the globe can show such vast discrepancy
between the number OF men who pass
away, compared to the mortality among
the females
The number of male children who are
born outnumber the females TO
slight extent, but the difference falls far
short OF making up the difference in the
death rate.
The books of the Health Department,
which are so carefully kept as to be abso-
lutely correct for all practical purposes,
show that for the last six months of the
fiscal year that closed June 80, 1895, the
number of male children born in San
Francisco was 1160, against 1919 females, a
difference in favor OF the males OF al.
For the fiscal year the number of males
whose deaths were recorded exceeded those
of the females by 1885, the m ortality being
3697 for the males anc 1862 for the females.
The same startling difference in the
death rate appears in the reports of the
months following June, 1895, as the ap-
pended table will show:
