known as the Bonanza. In 1875 she was
one of the smartest and best appoin ted
vessels in the bay, and during her weekly
cruises all the wealth and beauty in the
City used to be aboard. To-day she is ly-
ing at Main-street wharf. leaking at the
rate of 10 inches an hour, and her owners
have been compelled to discharge her
cargo in order to save further expenses.
The hull is still sound.
| The Bonanza was built for W. G. Raj
ston of the Bank of California nearly
| twentY-one years ago. AT that time she
was the finest and most sumptuously
fitted out yacht on the Pacific Coast. The
millionaire banker made many cruise IN

cabin. She is little over 152 tons bur-
den, 102 feet long, 27 feet 2 inches broad
and feet inches deep, so that the cabin
space was ample and the accommod alton
| for the crew more than sufficient. Even
now the Bonanza has one of the finest
cabins of any schooner trading out of San
Francisco.
After Ralston's death the Bonanza was
used for time as a yacht. but was finally
turned into a trader. AS such she carried

the Liebeses, and always did we'll. A few

whaling and trading cruise" There can

board whaling-boat and captain who
knows whales can be caught in the Bering

When the Bonanza had been docked and
overhauled and loaded it was discovered
she was leaking at the rate of two inches
an hour. Agent Lorentzen decided to
send her to sea, however, and make the
men stand their trick at the pumps. More
cargo was loaded into her last Saturday.
and Sunday she was leaking at the rate of
ten inches an hour.
1t was finally decided to discharge the
schooner and look for the leak. Just

the trouble was. The chances are that the
famous old schooner will have to go on

Postmaster replied to the inquiry and
plainly stated that the second plans were
less acceptable than the first. His letter
was dated April 7. 1t was after this last
letter had been sent that Mr.. Aiken gave
out the statement to THE CALL correspond
ent at Washington, accusing the Postmas-
ter and the Judges of unnecessary delay
in returning the plans for the building.
Mr.. Aiken has since acknowledged the
receipt of Mr.. McCoppin's letter OF April
7, and says he will now be able to finish
the plans withou: further delay. He does
not know when the plans will be ready so
that bids can be called for. This means
another long chapter OF anxious waiting
for San Francisco to get from the Federal
Government what Congress has already
allowed.
Mr.. Aiken's statement that there is a
conflict between the Judges and the Post
master as to the arrangement OF their re-
spective apartments in the proposed build
ing Is a contradiction in itself. The Judges
have no jurisdiction over the Postmaster s
apartments and the Postmaster has moth
ing whatever to do with the Judges cham
bers The postal department will have
the ground floor and the Judges will have
an upper hoor-probably the top one.
Therefore, there can be no possible con-
fiict between the Judges and the Post
master.
THE fact is" said Mr.. McCoppin. "the
California delegation should wait on Mr..
Carlisle, Secretary of the Treasury, and
urge him to do something toward hasten
ing along the enterprise. OF course it
takes long time to get Government build
lngs under way and much longer to get
them finished.
The statement sent out from the archi-
tects Office that delayed the plans is all
wrong. But they don't seem to care what
they do or say at Washington. It is quite
dliferent with the citizens OF San Fran
CISCO, always anxious to promote the well
fare OF the community. to be unjustly
criticised. People really hold me respon-
sible when statements of this kind are
made and not contradicted, and life is
altogether too brief to contradict every
statement made against person holding
public office or public trust, and espe-
cially Postmaster
Mr.. McCoppin believes that he will be
with the angels long before Mr.. Aiken
completes his plans and work on the new
Postoffice is actually begun. He thinks it
possible. however, that the San Francisco

is affirmed that the new device pro-
duces ten times the quantity of cleo

The materials of an experimental plant
include an iron pot caustic soda, a
stick of carbon and a pump with which
to produce blast of air. DR.. Jacques
melts the caustic soda in the pot, using
temperature OF 800 degrees. Into the
melted soda is plunged the stick of car

PICTURESQUE FASHIONS !
IITtrI n GILL npEN

LITTLE CHILDREN.
The picturesque will prevail this
winter more than ever In dressing little
children. Great big poke bonnets with
wide brim tied under the chin, and with
ruche Of lace and baby ribbon inside
to soften the hard lines, will be the fav-
orite headgear. These hats or rather
bonnets, will be of felt, cloth, corded
silk, and even Of velvet, but the last
material will be much less used than
any of the others In velvet the dark
colors are most fashionable, and the
changeable effects are the prettiest In
the lighter materials light colors are
used, while the white felt is used in
preference to any other color.
1t might not be thought necessary to
have the coats and cloaks for such
small children made with much atten-
ton to the fit; but, on the contrary,
they must fit WE'LL particularly around
the neck and shoulders, and the
misunderstanding have the backs fitted
most carefully, although the fronts are
loose. They reach to the heels, and have
deep cape-collars trimmed with lace
or fur, sometimes with both. The fur
that is used is very narrow, and short
haired variety is preferred. In these
cloaks there are many materials used
the corded silks, bengalines, and
even rich brocades, smooth-finished
cloth, and velvets-white there are
many more serviceable, if not quite so
| dainty, which are made of fancy goods
Of the rough-haired qualities that are
among the novelty goods this autumn.
| The same pattern of cloak is used for
one and ALL only capes vary in being
round or pointed, but the general effect
! is the same. A pale pink bengaline,
which, with poke bonnet to match, is
| about as smart q garment as can be
| well designed has over the cape a broad
collar of white null trimmed with rows
of narrow Valenciennes lace, which
comes down to the fur that trims the
| cape. There is no fur around the neck,
but the band around the throat is of
null and lace, and besides is COM
pletely hidden by the frill and string Of
| the bonnet. The sleeves are small bishop
| sleeves finished around the wrist with a
band of fur The entire coat is lined
with wool wadding covered with pale
pink silk.
Another more serviceable cloak made
on exactly the same pattern is of black
velvet trimmed with ermine fur, and
lined throughout with pink satin. The
poke bonnet is of black velvet to match
| the cloak, but the brim is faced with
pink satin, and all through the white
| lace ruchewhich surrounds the face are
tiny little pink rose-buds. Pink satin
ribbon trims the bonnet on the outside,
while bunch of pink ostrich tips on
| the left side gives an additional touch
| that is very chic and pretty. All these
| cloaks and hats have muffs to match,
either of fur like the trimming, or of
| the material of the cloak with band
of fur around the middle.-Harpers

SOME REMARKS
BY Another Traveller.

To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
l am only woman, and cannot be
expected to write or do anything as
well as a man. That old argument has
long since been settled. My distin-
guished fellow townsman who has let
forth a dismal howl about the Con-
solidated road has concluded his howl
in clever, and to the untraveled, con-
vincing arguments. L, myself, have
travelled for my years, rather extern
sively on both sides of the water, and
1 am glad to be able to say that /
have been more comfortable on the
good old Consolidated that upon any
other road L have been back and
forth on the Pennsylvania and New
York Central, and have not found them
even equal, much less surprising, our
own road. One might think 1 was try
ing to boom 1t. Let me assure you that
is not the case. am not even q stock
holder. but / cannot resist having my
say and standing up for a corporation
which. to fair minded people-there are
others than myself-appears to con-
scientiously try to please it's patrons.
Honestly, my friend, don't you think
