The Rats and the Missing Check.

A remarkable incident is brought to our
notice by the Bristol postoffic and what
is more. it is story with q moral. Some
days ago letter Containing check for
upward of $500 was posted to : gentle-
mans business dress in the city, and
although there was proof that 1t was de-
liveret the same evening. the addressee
complained that the important missive
had not reached him. Subsequently, how
ever. it occurred to him that IS his busi-
ness premises we're infested with rats. and
as everything put through the aperture in
the door in the absence OF q letter-box
dropped to the floor, the postal authori-
ties migt not after all, be responsible
for the stran.e dissppearance Of the let
ter. A search which he Instituted was
completely successful. On looking beh ind
q corn b n he discovered TO his astonish-
ment two huge rats actually fighting for
the possession Of q dust besmeared en-
velope. which on being opened was found
to be mono other than the one that con-
tanned the check. Bristol Mercury.

Mrs. Fitzsimmons and Baby Bob arrived
last evening from Carson and registered
at the Baldwin Hotel.
A large crowd of people who were anx-

cred in the corridor of the Baldwin at the
time Fitzsimmons was expected to arrive.
When the carriage which contained the
party arrived Fitz and Baby Bob were first

little fellow In his arms, brushed his way
through the crowd until some police otfi-
GERS forced the curiosity seekers back.

wife to pass along to the elevator.
The champion received quite an ova-
ton from his friends, who were many
and bowlng and smiling he left the crowd
and repaired to the rooms that were re-
served for him on the second floor. Flow
er. of divers kinds made the apartments
which he now occupies look very cheerful.
After little Bob was snugly ensconced in
his com Portable bed the champion received
his friends. He said that once and for all
he WOulQ announce MS ulC.Iudtuu, WHICH
is. that in future ne will rest at ease, hav-
ing all the pugilism he wants.

JAYNES INDIGNANT.
Denies the Right Of the Legislators
to Seize kilograms Sent by
Patrons.

Frank Jaynes, superintendent OF tue
Western Union Company, who was at
Sacramento yesterday, returned last night.
He was seen at his home on Bush street
and asked why he had boxed up the tele-
grams and started them out of the State.
His face flushed and he replied with great
vehemence:
Simply because we heard that this
committee proposed to ransack our entire
office and call up any man incur employ
as witness, thus completely disorganiz-
ing US and keeping US from conducting
our business. This would injure us
greatly For this reason l boxed up these
dispatches and sent them away.
"And will do it again, and will say
thi that hereafter when the Legislature
meets we will take all the dispatches that
have anything to do with legislation and
send EN- out. That they can expect.
We will not have this thing repeated.
This investigation, so-called, is a
sham, anyway. 1t is bosh and preposter-
GUS and has been done to create sensa-
ton.
1T is the work of the Examiner in its
alleged purity campaign. There is moth
ing in it, either, on the face OF it. There
is nothing in all these dispatches to show
that there has been any bribery. They
simply show the work of lobbyist. 1t is
ridiculous.
81 was up there to-day when this COM
mittee was jawing around over dispatches
miscellaneously and acting as though
they had made an extraordinary discov-
cry. 1t was absurd. There we, the Of
ficials of the company. stood ready to
offer any explanation asked, aud yet they
cIawed around as though they had struck
a mares nest. l was intensely indignant.
"They accused me-this committee did
of breaking open door. and one of the
committee loudly talked about having me
arrested ana sent to Jail. l never broke
open any door. / was merely standing
there.
"This committee is composed of very
small people anyway. Or rather / should
say that those are who are making all
all this fuss. There are nine on the COM
mittee, but only three of them are doing
this thing. One of them is Melick, a
fellow living somewhere down on the
desert, and another is Burnett OF Paso
Robles. 1t was the great Burnett who
thought of sending me to Jail.
"There is more bshind this than most
people think. In my opinion there is money
behind it That is it. We are not trying
to evade the law. We stand by the law.
But, really, 1T was not our business what
these dispatches are. We have got moth
ing to do with them. We took this stand
merely to protect ourselves and our busi-
ness

gold days fascinated him. and he deserted
the ship. He made his way into Marin
County, which was then wild country,
with an indifferent service between San
Francisco and Sausalito.
He secured a position in the ola mill in
Mill Valley, and when that historic struc-
lure was in operation he used to handle
the logs as they were brought to the mill.
Later he lived on theya.t Reed ranch, and
then he moved to Sausalito.
His home is built over the waters, and
during the last fifteen days as his life has
ebbed away he has sat on the landing
overlooking the bay and watched the
changes as they have taken place.
The word of his death has been
passed from mouth to mouth throughout
Marin County. and the little home in
Sausaito was visited by many OF his
pioneer friends who took parting look at
the ''old man" and spoke words of en-
courage ment to his widow.

INDoRsED THE INQUIRY.
The Municipal Reform League on the
Ssarisasx vi


Spring Valley Company.
At a meeting of the Municipal Reform
League, held on Thursday evening, the
following resolutions were passed:
WHEREAS, 1t appears from all available in
formation that the Spring Valley Water Com
pany is and for many years has been securing
from the citizens Of San Francisco interest on
a capitalization vastly in excess of the legiti-
mate cost OF its plant; and whereas, his Honor
the Mayor and tne Board of Supervisors of San
Francisco, for the first time in the history of
the City, are engaged in an earnest and we'll
directed effort TO secure Information as to The
cost of constructing and operating the water
system of the Spring Valley Company, in order
to fix water rate that shall be equitable and
fair to the ate-payers of this City and yield
just and reasonable profit to the stockholders
of the Spring Valley Company;
RESOLVED, That the Municipal Reform League
hereby indorses the said action of the Mayor
and the Board of Supervisors OF San Fran
CISCO and urges upon al property-owners and
water rate payers of this City that they take
action supporting the Mayor and Supervisors
in their present praiseworthy efforts efforts
which we believe will result in the fixing of
water rates that shall be as just and fair as is
possible without municipal ownership, the
only system which can insure absolute just
ness in the fixing of water rates, and secure
at all times an abundant and pure supply of
water. P. j. HEALY, Secretary.
