DEATH OF AN AMERICAN ARISTOCRAT.

him that a man of his wealth should

thing to improve the condition of the
people among whom he4lived, he used to
fall back with nausea, and suspect his
adviser of wanting to borrow money.
Ogden Goelet never allowed himself to
be interviewed nor permitted his picture
10 appear in the papers. 1t was a good
deal easier to obtain access to the Presi-
dent than TO him. Thus less was known
about him than about many New Workers
who excited less curiosity. He may have
been man of the incest sense of honor
for anything any body knew. In the school
in which his grandfa ther was bred
high principles fourished, which may
perhaps not be as we'll understood to-day
as they were then. Before the War OF
1872 was declared a Senator of the United
States wrote to his son, who was a junior
partner in a mercantile house in New
York, that war was inevitable, and that
there was money in buying the classes of
goods which would be affected by war.
The young man laid the letter before his
seniors, who considered it maturely,
and admitted that the Senator's views
were und. But they decided that specu-
lation in articles which the country might
have to buy in case OF war would be un-
patriotic, and they agreed that they would
torego the chances of making great for
tune rather than add one penny to the
charges which the Government would
have to bear. JOHN BONNER.

WOODWARD'S PAVILION.
OAK KNOLL, Napa County, Ca

OAK KNOLL, Napa County, Call
August %. 1897.
Editor San Francisco Cdll-MY DEAR SIR: The
leading editorial in your paper or to- day does
manifest injustice to the property known as
"the Woodward Gardens Pavilion" creating &
as 1t does the impression in the mind of the
public, upon whom it depends for patronage
and support, that the building is not prop
erly and sufficiently protected with spaces of
ingress and egress.
The writer OF the article entirely misappre-
hends the situation
There are three (3) wide places of entrance
and egress on the west, north and southeast.
Clinton Day, the eminent architect, super
intended these alterations, and, as he thought.
met all of the requirements of the safety and
fire ordinances.
These were further enlarged and improved
under the pers onal direction of the Fire Mar
shall. The tenor of your article would make
the owner OF this property responsible for the
conduct of the crowd outside and In the
street in their eagerness for admission.
Neither the owner nor the lessees have any
authority outside the hall, this being solely
within the Jurisdiction OF the police II the
Iessees, in the exercise of their authority to
control admission to the pavilion, see proper
to open but one place OF entrance 1t il he
bounden duty OF the police to see that the
crowd outside in no way impedes or In terfe res
with those holding or deslrous OF purchas-
ing admission tickets
Doubtless the police were unaware OF the
all-absorbing interest of the multitude to wit
ness this celebrated athletic contest and con-
se1uently at the moment were unequal to the
task OF enforcing order while thousands were
clamorlng and surging for admission.
AS to the places Of egress let me invite your
atten ton and a personal inspection thereof,
which 1 am confident win dispel all doub. by
whoever entertained.
Do The favor to heed no stories told by mem
bers oil rival clubs or disappointed applicants
for free admission, but go in person or send a
competent fair-minded man TO inspect and
make report on the premises and thus settle
all doubts in the pubic mind
In my judgment there is no hall in the
United States, considering strength, light,
ventilation, seating capacity, acoustic prop
critics and means OF egress, surpassed by the
Woodward Gardens Pavilion. AS q matter OF
fact so ample are the facilities for rapid exit
in case OF emergency, that this spacious hall
could be emptied of every occupant and In
safety In the space Of five minutes. Yours
very truly, DRURY MzLoNE.
There was nothing in the editorial re-
ferred to by Mr.. Melone which implied that
Woodward's Pavilion does not possess ample
exits and entrances. The statement was tina,
they were not open on Thursday evening.
THE CALL made no reflection upon the own.
efs of the property. but said The crush at the
doors was an evidence OF gross neglect on
the part of those charged with the duty OF
supervising places of public ent rtainment
and seeing to it that proper entrances and
exits are provided. ."-EDIToR OF The CALL
