San Francisco Business Man Tells
About T. C. Jenkins and Joseph
Horne g. Co.
E. G. Godfrey of this City is an intimate
acquaintance of T. c. Jenkins, whose big
grocery house, said 10 be the largest con-
Germ of the line in the world, was totally
destroyed in the fire at Pittsburg, Sunday.
Mr.. Godfrey speaks in the highest terms
of Mr.. Jenkins and declares that in the
loss of the two concerns. those of Jenk-
ms and Joseph Horne IL Co., Pittsburg
has suffered severe blow commercially.
"T. G. Jenkins" said Mr.. Godfrey yes
terday, "started life in this City. He
came in the early ffties and no doubt
some of the old residents who were IN
business at that time will remember him.
He came to know many men who have
since gained wealth and distinction,
among them Senator Fair, Flood and 9TH
ers. He returned East, went to PIttsburg
and in 1865 or thereabout established
with his brother a wholesale house, hand
ling principally -four. He afterward with
drew from the firm and founded the house
which has developed into one OF The great
commercial houses of the world, especially
great among the list OF those conducted
by single individuals. He bought the
property upon which the house stands in
1885, at cost OF $500, 600.
II remember his telling me OF how he
had piled up money in bank previous to
that Time, with tie purpose Of putting up
a big building, and that just when he was
about ready to 60 ahead, the bank broke,
and. as he said, he had to begin all over
again. He did begin over again, and sue
ceeded in his design of building what he
always claimed to be, and no doubt was,
the largest -four and grocerS-house in the
world The view of that house which |
have here, shows the Liberty-avenue front
1t extended through to Pennsylvania ave-
nue.. and there the frontage was over one
third greater. A train OF eight cars could
be run into the establishment from Lib
erty avenue, the tracks of the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad Company.

ASHORE NEAR HARDY CREEK.
Schooner Hettie Sund6org Breaks From
Her Moorings and Is Driven Upon
the Beach,

CAHTO, CAL. May 3.-The schooner
Nettie Sundborg, Captain o. Johnson
and crew of ten men, from San Fran.
cisco on May 1, is ashore at point near
Hardy Creek. The captain and crew are
safe after having experienced a rather
perilous adventure for time.
The schooner was moored at the Hardy
Creek Lum Der Company's dock last night
preparatory to loading to-day. The
weather indications and the sea were I'M
favorable and Captain johnson had taken
measures 10 assure that the vessel would
n OF break from her moorings during the
night by running two extra lines to the
bow and stern moorings. The schooner
Law at ease until low tide this morning,
wien a succession of heavy swells swept
over her, took away everything movable
from the deck and severed the bowlines.
This permitted the vessel to swing toward
q rocky part of the beach. The sea at this
hour Is o'clock) was running high.
When the vessel broke her moorings
and it became apparent to Captain John
son that he and the crew could not handle
her, all escaped to the rigging for safety.
The schooner was still held by her stern
lines. and it was feared that she would go
to pieces on the rocks if the lines were not
cut. The ca plain and sailors were cling
ing to the rigging, while the heavy sea
was beating over the vessel and all at
tempts to render assistance from the shore
were of no avail.
The captain finally came down from the
rigging with lines entwined about his
body, made his way to the stern and cut
the lines, permitting the vessel to drift
ashore. She landed on the beach, where
she now lies.
The extent of the damage is difficult to
determine. The schooner now shows lit
tie apparent damage, but the continued
rough sea and the high tide tonight will
push her higher upon the beach. Captain
Johnson believes the vessel can be
launched quickly if weather conditions
are favorable. Haymsn & Meyer of San
Francisco are the representative agents.

Judgment of the lower court was affirmed.
E. ]. Baldwin lacked his usual luck in
the suit he and r. Carney brought against

ENEMIES OF SOCIETY.

The MIRROR is at all times
pleased to quote the words of men
whose sterling honesty of purpose
and able discernment are unques-
toned by the public at large. In
the following extract from ser
mon on the Enemies of Society,"
by Rev. De Witt Talmage, will
be found sentiments that should
find a logical acquiescence in the
mind of the intelligent reader:
suppose there are hundreds of per-
sons this day lying in prison hunks
who would leap up at the prospect of
reformation, if society would only
allow them a way into decency and re-
spectabiIity. "Oh," you say, Il have
no patience with these rogues' | ask
you in reply, how much better would
you have been under the same circum-
stances? Suppose your mother had
been a blasphemer and your father a
sot, and you had started life with
body stuffed with evil proclivities, and
you had spent much of your time in

the moral (?) lesson that prisoner
is taught. Next time he commits
a crime he WILL hire a lawyer.

WE EXTEND our sincere SYM
pathy to the family Of John F.
Norrish in their recent bereave-
ment. In doing so we are not
prompted by the mere fact that
Mr.. Norrish was member of the
board of Prison Managers. In
his long connection with this in
stitution he gave ample proof
that in all his duties his earnest
desire was the greatest good to
the greatest number. It was this
unselfish principle in life that now
enshrines his memory in the
hearts of prisoners and citizens
alike.

ClRCUMSTANTIA EVIDENCE.

THAT truth IS stranger than
felton, has been in many ways
thoroughly demonstrated to the
entire satisfaction of the most
illogical doubling Thomases. Yet
it is next to impossible to make
the average man believe that the
circumstantial evidence that may
be woven about a man charged
with crime is not positive truth
instead ola pretty fiction concocted
in the plastic mind Of a novelistic
Blackstone. The following ex-
ample, copied from the St. Louis
Post-Dispatch, is but one strong
instance in which the most pos
tive circumstantial evidence was
demonstrated to be pure fiction:
The most famous mistake of circum-
stantial evidence in the history of New
Y Ork was in connection with the great
Park Row accident a few years ago,
when a restaurant fell down during
the neon hour. 1t is recalled when
ever big circumstantial evidence case
arises.
An emplOye of a newspaper left a
friend 100 feet from the restaurant,
saying he was going to lunch. Five
minutes later the house fell. Among
the dead taken out was man whose
head was charred beyond recognition.
The body was perfect, however. There
was the withered and bent right leg of
the missing man; there was the exact
size foot: in the pocket were the two
cards of the newspaper man. These
marks with others were quickly iden
titled by the widow. brothers and
friends. The body was buried, a fund
Of $1,000 was gathered for the widow
and she went to Boston to begin life
over again. Thirty-fve days later the
missing man turned up in Nova Scotia.
He is now and for years has been a
valued emplOye of the n. Y. Sun. The
widow returned the money. 1t devel
oped that at noon on the day of the
accident the man s vacation began. He
had plenty Of money. and instead of
going to lunch in the restaurant he
went to saloon. In an hour or so he
was on the water front. drunk. There
he met friend, a schooner captain,
and in drunken spree sailed away.
AS this man is still living in
New York there can not be the
slightest doubt of his case as a
living warning against the too free
use of bare circumstances in other
cases.

edges Of the outer guard-rails of
laws covered with technical loop
holes.
Pick up the average periodical
and you will read advertisements of
fakes, prize-schemes, and sugges-
tive quack -decoctions that should
bring the blush of shame to an
honest man or a pure woman.
Think you that such swindlers are
honest simply because they keep
within the ragged-edge limits Of
literal law? Think you that the
mediums willingly giving them
publicity are guided by unsullied
hands when, for cash received,
they voluntarily betray their read
ing clientage into believing these
commercial knaves? If such
sneaking tactics are to be foisted
on the world as samples Of ''shrewd
business methods" then it is high
time that the doors of every
prison in the land were thrown
open to let the balance of the
"shrewd business men" commingle
with their fellows of the ''you-
scratching back and I'll scratch
yours" variety.

enough of it to hide our depravity
from a few intimates of better
days, we have reached stage that
demands the most trenchant efforts
on our part if we would grasp at
the last straw available to save us
from the chasm of earthly misery
upon the precipice of which we
now stand wavering as the play
things of dissolute passion.
''Be a man or a mousse" you can
not make any halfway stops. You
must keep moving up the hill to a
higher manhood or slide down to
eternal disgrace and misery. Be
one or the other; there should be
no hypocritical, half-resolute ter
minals. If you feel that bright
future is still worth striving after,
pull yourself together and nurture
the shred of self-respect still dang
ling to the heart whose life blood
will expand it once more into the
blossoming tree of true manhood.
1t all lies in your own hands; you
can make of this life either an
earthly heaven or a positive hell
The choice is open, and common
sense will tell you that no hypo-
critical haltings between the two
can result in anything but a GER
tain headlong plunge into the

so in great many cases, but not
in all. You might as we'll expect
that the offspring Of mixed mar
