LESSON OF A BUSY LIFE
T. B. Valentine, the Pioneer
Printer, Passes to His
Rest.
He Attributed His Marked Success in
Life to His A. .tention to Busi.
ness and Economy.

Thomas B. Valentine, the well-known
capitalist. prominent as the founder and
president of the printing firm known as
the Francis Valentine Company, died in
his apartments at the Baldwin Hotel at
1880 A. NJ. yesterday of cancer OF the
stomach, with which he has been suffering
for several years.
Unaware of the nature OF the dread
disease which was slowly sapping away
his life until afew days ago, he found it
necessary to submit to an operation per-
formed by DR.. Taylor.
1t was seen that his case was hopeless
from the start, and soon sitter the opera
tion he became unconscious, remaining SO
with the exception of one hours con-
sciousness Monday evening, when he again
relapsed into a comatose state and sank
rapidly till the hour of his death.
AT his deathbed were present: Mrs.
Valentine. his wife; S. D. Valentine. his
brother; General and Mrs. N. T. James,
Mr.. and Mrs. III. II. Noble and DR.. Taylor.
Deceased was NUN nbered among the
pioneers as he came to California in 1851.
he was born in New York and was So
years old.
On his arrival in California he branched
forth II the real estate line, the venture
About this time he is said to have secured
the rights to a Mexican land grant of
many thousand acres. Petaluma now
stands upon this tract. In the litigation
following the pressing of his claims he
esta ahlished his ownership so fully that
the Government was obliged 10 issue him
certain script empowering him to settle
in surveyed and unsurveyed Government
| land no matter where he found it.
Accordingly he locat ed on thousands of
acres OF land in the State, now very valu-
abe. Among the vast landed interests he
left are the Corte MADEIRA ranch, situated
near San Rafael, aud containing several
Thousand acres; the Mahonev mine on
Sutter Creek and several Sacramento River
islands.
In 1855 he founded printing establish
ment in San Francisco with Mr.. Munson,
under the firm name of Valentine d Mum
| son. His interest was purchased IN 1865
by d. B. Francis. s. d. Valentine was
then partner, and, on his brother selling
out his interest. the name OF the nrm was
| changed to Francis 81 Valentine.
| This was further metamorphosed into
the Francis Valentine Company when the
firm was incorporated about one year ago,
and deceased was elected president.
| The issuance of that script to Valentine
rendered his fame world wide. A PORTO n
OF 1t was sold to spectators, one OF them
| creating sensation about year ago by
locating on property in Chicago worth
| millions of dollars. The claim being con-
tested is still in litigation.
Valentine was married twice, but
leaves widow without children. He was
! very industrious and economical. He
! used to sGy that no man could hope for
success In life otherwise. Arrangements
| for the funeral are now being made. and a
private interment will be had at Cypress
Lawn Cemetery on Thursday.

He has attended every municipal and
State convention since 1881 and has al
ways given his time, money and best
energies in advancing the principles of the
party. Mr.. Bettman was ME mber OF the
last Legislature, and was active in secur-
ing the defeat of the bill repeating the fee
bill, which saves to the taxpayers about
$4,000 a year, which otherwise would
have gone into the pocket of the Sheriff.
He also voted for the bill granting to the
Valley Railroad Company the lease of
China basin, thereby giving to the peoples
competing railroad an entrance into San
Francisco.
Mr.. Bettman's record during the session
of the Legislature is marked by an honesty
of purpose that distinguishes him among
his fellows and which gathers about him
now in his candidacy for re- election host
of friends who are working yaiantly and
have already made his election sure.

NO MORE FREE
FROSTED CAKES
Jealousy Among the Ladies
Makes Trouble for
the Bakers.
German and American Master
Breadmakers Associ-
ated.
OTHERS NOT IN THE UNION.
Decisive Action to Be Taken at the
Meeting of the Association
Tomorrow.
OTHERS NOT IN THE UNION.

The question to be decided at to- or
rows meeting of the Master Boxers Asso-
citation is, whether the customers of the
niuety-five German and American bakers
IN this City will receive on Christmas eve
the accustomed cake with its frosted sur
face and last rose of summer, or the
frosted go-by, without either cake or rose
At meeting of the Master Breadmakers
on Monday night resolution was adopted
denouncing the making of Christmas
presents in future. This resolution will
come up for final action at tomorrow 8
meeting OF the association.
The reason for the bringing up of the
resolution at this time means that should
it be adopted the customary Merry Christ
mas cake, which heretofore was presen ted
10 every family who patronized the in
diyiduaI baker, will remain in the store to
be sold like its fellows for cash, not good
will.
One of the knights of the -four bin, Mich
olas Prost, president of the Master Bak-
ers' Association, said:
II has cost me between $400 and $500
every Christmas to give presents to my
customers. and in the majority of cases
general dissatisfaction follows. No two
families appreciate their presents alike.
The cake Is either too small or not rich
enough, and the one the other got was SO
much better and larger than the one
which came home to each. And AS con-
sequence l lose customers every Christ
mas.
1.-The best and only way to settle the
trouble is TO abolish the entire custom,
which l think We will do at the meeting
to be held Thursday.
''In this association the German and
American bakers only are represented.
The Italian and French bakers have an
association of their own, which prohibits
the living of presents.
"Our association has had this subject
under consideration for some time, but
for some reason or other it was put off
until now. when the approach of Christ
mas makes it imperative to take definite
action one way or the other. Ii the asso-
citation should reject The resolution about
to be brought up for final action it would
perhaps result in leaving things jus. as
they are.
''But the habit of presenting a cake to
every customer is expensive to the baker
and improbable in the end, as it makes q
good deal OF discomfort. without pleasing
those whom it was intended to make
happy and cheerful"
In addition to this question OF free cake
the other and perhaps more important
one to small and poor storekeepers is that
of declining to take back the stale bread
which has been left on the hands of GUS
toners.
The meeting tomorrow Will handle
those two very weighty questions o1
'.stale bread and free frosted CAKE

was found to be s26, 5000 short. Treas

his deputy $47S4.S5, reducing the shortage
by that amount. 1t is said that jackson

from Corbett as follows:
III either Groom or Ellinghouse don't
put up the $4,000 by Monday next the

lose any more time. This is final''
This telegram virtually disposes of the
Corbett-Sharkey contest, as none of the

named by Corbett as guarantee that
the fight will take place.
A dispatch was received tonight stat
ing that Sharkey had left for San Fran

may soon follow him and that the two

selves for the gate receipts.
