How His Old Comrades of the Phila-
de1phia Remembered HIM.
Tom Sharkey, the champion pugilist oi
Uncle Sans navy, was presented with q
handsome gold cane by his old
friends and companions of the warship
Philadelphia last Tuesday evening.
Paul Hermann, chief quartermaster OF
the cruiser. delivered the presentation
speech, to which Sharkey replied in brief,
stating that he would be always proud to
be the possessor of such beautiful token
of esteem, and that as pugilist he hoped
that the time was close at hand when the
stick will be handled by the champion
heavy weight of the world.
On the head of the cane is engraved :
tom from his shipmates of the q. S. S.
Philadelphia, 10-20-'96." Sharkey said
that the timber of the stick was taken
from the old warsnip Hartford.

franchised and he who buys it should be
forever debarred from office. The corporation
that dares to interfere in politics should be
dissolved by an angry people, and the million
aire who opens his money bags at election
time should have his property confiscated.
Although the people let this wrongdoing go
on for awhile they eventually rise in their
might and stamp 1t out. "In God We Trust" is
our National motto, and with the assistance of
the Almighty the safety and perpetuity of the
Republic is assured.

prove interesting and instructive.

on the 25th inst, and In order to onset the
next trip of the Protection the following
circular was sent out yesterday:
PACIFIC COAST STEAMSHIP COMPANY.
Notice to shippers! Cut freight rates, San
Francisco TO Mazatlan, Mexicol Steamer ORR
Zaba, sailing from san Francisco October %,
1896, at 10 A. NJ, General merchandise $5
Mexican silver per ton, weight or measure
menE. GooDALL, PERKINS & Co., General Agents.
The Protection charges So ton in gold,
while the Orizaba will carry goods at So in
Mexican Money. This virtually means q
reduction of 80 per cent, as Mexican
dollar is only worth 5015 cents in San
Francisco.
There was a miniature strike on the
water front yesterday that may grow into
large dimensions. The longshoremen
near the Poweli-street end of the front
have grievance and yesterday struck for
their rights. A few weeks ago the Golden
Gate Lum ber Company sold out to the
d. B. Bibb Lum ber Company. The
former concern was in the habit of paying
the longshoremen 30 cents an hour Tor
ten hours work, but when the latter firm
took control the rate was cut to 20 cents.
Yesterday the schooner Sadie and the
steamer Empire began discharging at
section l of the seawall. When the men
learned of the cut they all struck and the
schooner was practically tied up.
Inc steamer put the crew aI WOTk, anu
with her steam winches managed to get
nearly all her cargo ashore. The Sadie
was idle all day, as all the men who could
be got to work did not move over few
thousand feet of lumber.
All the Bibb Company's boats will be
boycotted in future, and unless the OLD
rate of 80 cents an hour is restored the
strike is likely to spread to other lines of
coasters which have given notice OF win
ter reduction.
The Bibb Company asserts that it is
making no money. owing to slack busi-
ness and low rates. II it comes 10 ques-
ton of paying 80 cents an hour sor dis
charging, the Empire, Sadie and other
vessels will be laid up for the winter. The
men say that the vessels are all paying,
and that the cry of dull times is only an
excuse to cut wages.
Among the arrivals yesterday were the
barkentine City of Papeete, from Tahiti
Captain Lunn reports an uneventful pas
sage. He took the place OF Captain Be-
rude, who remained behind on account of
sickness. Since the death of August
Schmitt (Pinei & Coz it is not known who
will manage the City of Papeete, Tropic
Bird and Galilee, but the chances are that
Berude will assume control and that Lunn
will remain on the Papeete.
The Giassen6ale and Miltiades got in
from Australia, the Jean d'Arce from
Newcastle, n. S. W.; the Socotra from
Hongkong the Santiago from HiIo, II. l.
the Elwell from Nanaimo, B. c.; and the
Lamoriciere from Valparaiso in ballast.
All the vessels report light and variable
winds during their entire voyages.

E. L. Zelinsky of the United States army, re-
tired, who invented the famous dynamite gun,
arrived here yesterday from the East. Not
long since he returned here after a trip to
Cnlna, Japan and other countries, and he has
since SINCE been visiting Washington, New York,

the real opening OF the Tabers' season.
very good performance of 1.-THE Ugly
Duckling'' is being given at the Alcazar.
The play is interesting and the strong
dramatic situations are made much of by
the company. John I. Sullivan as Count
Malete sta and Miss May Buckley as The Ugly

B. Polk, Frank Doane and Mrs. F. NJ Bates are
doing excellent work.

Bicyclists and their friends filed the Tiyoli
Opera-house last night. The galleries were
prettily draped with flags, and number of
gags" touching local bicycling matters were
in troduced by Ferris Hartman. The chorus of
bicycling girls was especially applauded.
Every one considered the California Asso-

the jokes merit the respect due TO old age, al

hail them with hiiarity. Some of the "turns"

find in theater sacred to the memory of the
polite Well-dressed, well-bred Frawleys.

Animal Remains in Coal.

Most people know that coal is full of
vegetable remains. but comparatively
few are aware of the fact that animal
and insect bodies by countless millions
also go to make up the great beds of
fuel that are now being SO extensively
drawn upon, says the St Louis Re
public" The vegetable impressions
found in coal or in the shale just above
the vein are very beautiful as well as
numerous, not less than l,3OO different
kinds of plants having been noticed in
the carboniferous seams in the differ
ent parts of the world. Some of these
plants are very much like those now
living but the majority of them, even
though found in Nova Scotia or Ice
land, appear to be representatives of
" hat are now tropical varieties.
Many animals and insects are also
found fossilzed and thoroughly pre-
served in the coal beds. These petrified
creatures of the bygone age called the
coal period" are of various kinds.
Huge toadlike reptiles, with beauti-
full teeth small tree lizards, great fish
with tremendous jaws, tiny water
mites, snails, 'hundred-legged worms
and thousands OF insects of the grass
hopper and dragon-fy tribes are also
found The curious fact is that there
is not a single representative of these
fossilized creatures now living.
