amateur class in this State who is said to
be the equal of A. Mitchell at the 14-inch-
balk-line billiards, made his debut last
night in the tournament now in progress
at the Occidental Hotel
The audience was critical one, but
more than anything else it was a tre-

terestine in the extreme. Frank Moroney
and John J. Roggen, both 20G-point play
ers, came together. From .he spot shot
Moroney ran up against the hardest kind
of luck and it followed him through the
game.
His anxiety to bring the trophy back to
the Olympic Club unnerved him, and
Roggen left him behind as if he was at q
standstill.
Captain Williams, who is to present the
winners with the cues and other parapher-
MALTA at the close of the tournament in
behalf of the donors, the Brunswick
Ralke-C -ColIender Company. is an intimate
friend OF Moroney's and he had wagered
10 less than five hats that he would make
the largest run in the game.

Barry & Patton, with his cousin, Adolph
Sutro, the ex- Mayor of this City.

brother, the late Emil sutro. Returning
again to San Francisco, he formed a CO.
partnership with his brother. Charles

expert and authority. This valuable
knowledge came TO him from early train
ing, for after leaving school be entered the
banking house founded by his father IN
Aix-la- Chapelle in the early part OF the
century. He was there thoroughly trained
for the line of business he chose in after
life.
In addition to his banking and broker
age business he was identified in other
pursuits which tended to develop the
City, especially in the outside districts.
In the seventies he purchased control
ling interest in the old Omnibus Railroad
Company, then a horsecar line, and be-
came lis president. Under his manage
ment the Omnibus Cable Company was
organized and the system converted into
a cable line, which soon became the most
extensive in this City.
The deceased will always be remembered
with gratitude by the public of this City,
for under his management OF the Omnibus
the system of general transfers on the
streetcar lines of this City was originated.
In fact, he forced the Market-street Rail-
road and the other railroad com panes to
adopt that system. Mr.. Sutro continued
president of the Omnibus Cable Company
until it WAS consolidated with the market
street and other lines.
He was also one of the founders of the
California Electric Light Company, which
under his management grew into the
powerful Edison Light and Power Com
pany, which was lately consolidated into
the San Francisco Gas and Electric Com
pany. He was also prominently identified
with the powder manufacturing interests
of this coast. He was president of the Old
Safety Nitro Powder Company ana
brought about its consolidation with the
Giant Powder COMPANY. He was also q
charter member OF the Stock and Bond
Exchange of San Francisco, holding his
seat up to the time of his death.
The deceased was brother OF Charles
and Albert Sutro of this City and OF FL
vira Gradwodhl of Albany, N. Y. and a
brother-in-law of Herman Zadig, the
stock broker of this City, whose sister he
married in Hamburg, Germany. in Octo-

Didn't Understand Limburger.

The old Virginia darkey, who ha.
been from the time he was 10 years Of
age the dining room servant of one Of
our aristocratic families, is noted fol
his Ghesterfieldian manners. Having
some company to tea one night, re-

fond of umburger cheese. l bought 9

me. On arrival old Uncle Isaac mel

to him, "Uncle Isaac, you will find

package of cheese, and l want it on the

have it." Don't you forget it," said
I. "Oh, no, sub; l amt goin' fergit it
I'll have it. sho'."
Now, Uncle Isaac had seen almost
every kind Of cheese in his life, but thi;
was his first experience with the lin.
burger. When took my company in.
to the dining room the old fellow was
standing near the table with long
white apron on and a waiter under his
arm, ready to jump If any one looked
toward him. Not seeing the cheese,
said to him, quietly, Uncle Isaac,
where's the cheese?" With look OF
great disappointment, he turned to my
wife as If to say, please, marin, come

with more emphasis, Uncle Isaac,

Not to BIO Cheated.

Time was when there was only one
chaise in the town of Mechanic Falls,
and that one belonged to an old man
of somewhat eccentric ways
One day young man wanted to
hire the chase to take his best girl to
ride. The owner agreed, but nothing
was said about the price Toward
nightfall the young man brought the
chase back.
How much is the damage?" he
asked
where did you go?" returned the
old man.
The young man named the place.
How far do you call that?'
Twelve miles"
Nope, it is only ten" said the old
man.
II tell you it is twelve good long
miles, have been over 1T times enough
to know"
II travelled that road before you was
out of dresses. tell ye it hain't but
ten miles"
Both of them were losing their tenn
pcrs rapidly.
Never mind how far it is, tell me
how much owe you and l will pay
you and get out.

Numbered:
