of early Oakland. The oosequies were
those OF George T. La1eche who bull a
hotel at the foot of Broadway over thirty
years ago, when Seventh street was "up-
town" and before the railroad had bound
the continent with iron.
George Lafleche had not done great
deal toward developing the modern city
of oakland, but he had lived an active
life for over a generation, and was so
welded to the locality on which he first
settled that when it went down socially
and commercially George stayed with IT,
and its declining fortunes became his
own.
On his first arrival here in the early
sixties Laheche opened a hotel near the
water front. That was at the time when
the ferry boats from San Francisco landed
on the beach at the foot Broadway.
George called his place the Lafleche
House and it was resorted to by hun
dreds. Now an old shack, it was then q
pretentious place by comparison with the
rest OF the town.
As wears pas ed bv the watsr front be-
gan to be deserted. Old DR., Merritt, who
was many times customer of Georges,
started to boom the upper part OF town,
the railroad ran along Seventh street and
gradually the aristocratc patrons OF La
f1eehe's drilted uptown to The more pre-
tenIious places that sprang up.
But George hung on.
His "hoteP' becam a "boarding-house, "
then it was known as saloon" and for
many years it has been waterfront s.
cent peerhouse.
George Lafeche was born in Canada "a
years ago. II died suddenly yesterday
morning Of neart trouble, and with the
going out OF his memory many secrets OF
the past relating TO the "wIld oats" period
of his former PATRONS are buried forever.

OF the First Presby terrain Christian En-
deavor Society aud has been preparing
himself for the San Anse!mo Institution
preparatory to going into the ministry.
He has been studying very hard for some
time and mis- relatives say that his mind

When he left Oakland he intended to
take the steamer for Vallejo, whence he
was TO 60 10 S-lbys and wax from there

Senator Aldrich left the city Saturday by
order Of his physician. He has been con-
fined to his room almost all the time since
the first week OF the tariff debate with an
aggravated attack Of indigestion and dys-
entery. He was able to be present at the
first caucus on the sugar schedule and was
taken with a relapse afterward. As he
did not improve his physician diro.ted
that he should go where he would have
absolute rest. and be free from the possi-
biiity OF any consultation with him on the
tariff. The senator accordingly went to
his Rhode Island home. His physician, DR.

AMONG THE WHIST PLAYERS

The whist contingent Eof the Woman's
Whist Club of Washington. before their
outing for the summer. gave a series of
whist contests of five teams of fours for a
handsome trophy. and brought out some
very fine playing. The frst contest was at
Madame de Sibour's, and the four that
were successful in competing for this
trophy. had to meet the rest of the teams
in contest for second trophy given by
Mrs. Shiras. -, a.
very enjoyable whist contest took place
at the Cochran last Friday night in the
rooms of Mrs. Krebs of California, who is
said by Baker of Brooklyn to be one of the
finest players he mas ever met, a thorough
mixer, at home in the Invitation game
short suit. long suit. or any style of whist.
Tormey of the California Call speaks very
highly of her play also. She is very
prominent member of the woman's whist
congress, and was present during its ses-
sion, playing in the mixed pair contest with
Mrs. Hawley as partner. Her guests en-
Joyed some very fine whist during the even

tinual practice and make very strong
team together.

summer places. The interest in whist at
the c. BIZ c. was shown the other night by
the presence of five tables. Compass whist
was played and the closeness of the scores
showed how close the play was, very few
tricks getting away on either side The
team of the c. A. G.. have concluded to
give up four nights in the week for hard
team practice, and this will narrow down
the number of eligibles. as it is useless to
enter into contest such as will take place
at Put-in-Bay. unless being thoroughly
equipped. and as 1t Is only hard practice
that will enable the team to be in accord
in all their plays, and brings out Individual
pecul1arities. such as ignoring partners sig
nal when being void of a suit, and giving
up command of partners suit at all times
unless you know positively that you out
number him.
The play Wednesday night at the c. A. c.
was the most encouraging in the history of
the club AS Safford's schedule for eight
pairs was used only sixteen players could
play. Many of the members watched the
play during the evening with much inter-
est. among them Wooten, who noted the
play of Hampton and Childs particularly
who showed up In good FORM and are pre-
pared to enter into severe practice. Beden
and Davis played fine whist. as the score
shows, as well as Jackson and Rines, who
were In the game at all stages Gallineer

Prof. Jerichau,s Recital.

Prof. Jerichau's piano recital Saturday
night at the Carroll Institute proved to be
a uniquely interesting occasion, and held
the attention Of appreciative audience
throughout its entirety. The suggestions
which he coupled with the selections gave
to each a poetic significance that greatly
enhanced Its interest. Among the numbers
was Greig's Wedding March,, in which
the suggestion of bridal procession of
mountain spirits was pointed out. Two
studies by Raff and Schumann, the sug-
gestion in the former being bards singing
to harps. and in the latter falling leaves.
were extremely well given. A Mendel-
ssohn song without words and q Chopin
nocturne. in which the suggestion was twi-
light and storm. were also enjoyable. The
recital was brought to q close with Liszt's
"Rhapsodte Hongroise." No. 2 Prof. Jer-
ichau was assisted by Mr.. W. Kimball
who sang several numbers in excellent
style
