FRANK LEACH
 HAS RETIRED The Enquirer Is Sold to Friends of Dr.
 Pardee. Politicians Are Speculating on It's Probable
 Effect. George B. Daniels Is Now the General Manager of the New
 Directory.
oakland Office San Francisco Call,


 sos Broadway. Feb. 5. Hon. Frank A. Leach, superintendent of the mint at San Francisco, retired from 2 long life of journalism to-day. For tbirtv-seven years MT. Leach has boan engaged in newspaper work, be- ginning as a boy and working upward to proprietor. Two weeks ago The Call n,blished exclusively the story that the Oakland Enquirer. which paper has been owned by MT. Leach about twelve years, was to go into the hands or other owners. This afternoon the change took place and the management of the paper was reorganized.
 The statement was published this evening that M. D. l.. Hadley had be- come the owner, but he evidently did not hold the stock long, for tonight G. B. Daniels announced that the new board of directors is as follows: G. B. Daniels, president and general man ager; M. D. L. Hadley, secretary; 5. F. Daniels, treasurer; D. Edward Collins and A L. Smith.
 Frank A Leach and his managing editor, A. B. Nye, signed the following printed statement:
 The Enquirer has been published as a daily paper since the 12th day or July, 1SS6-more than eleven years and during the whole of that time the undersigned have exercised editorial direction over it's utteranceS. In the initial number the promise was made to give the people of Oakland clean and honest newspaper, which w3uIa lIa not shrink from putting principle above policy in any important eMgen- cy and looking back over the occur rences of nearly a dozen years, 1t IS believed that the obligation taken at that time has been kept
 It has not been always easy to con- duct the Enquirer upon the lines laid down. It has cost some struggles and sacrifices But in the main the people of the community have been very kind, showing a ready appreciation of everything which it was endeavored to do in their behalf. and it is owing to this generous support that the de gree of success attained has been 'pos- sible. It is desired to make the ac- knowledgment of this friendly co-op- eration distinct and emphatic
 The new management will, of course, announce it's own policy, but it is understood that it will in no es- sential respect differ from the past policy.
 Of more general interest than tn actual transfer of the Enquirer is tn effect it will undoubtedly have on tn -gubernatorial contest in this county Up to this time it has been the sup porter of W. R. Davis, but now it vii be enlisted on the other side and MT Daniels will continue his support o his friend, pr. George c. Pardee. How this change will work is now the upper most thought in the minds of politi clans.

The thermometer seems to fall six degrees when you walk into a blue room. Yellow is an advancing color; therefore, room fitted up in yellow will appear smaller than it is. On the other hand. blue of certain shade .n- troduced generously into a room will give an idea of space. Red makes no difference in regard to size. Green makes very little.

EIGCg COINS.

In the estimation Of coin collectors
the NEST valuable OF all the American
coins today Is TIE perfect silver dollar
OF 1854. That particular coin is worth
whatever o:l enthusiastic collector is
willing 70 FAY FOR it. The highest
auc;iai. price j. $1,000 and there is il
record Of $1,000 having been paid for
one 1T u private sale. Only 10 Ct them
are known to exist, and each has u
record Of ownership. Ih.re are prob
ably several hundred mistaken elaine

$3.50 upward. OF The other rarities in
the gold series the most notable are
the dollars pieces Of 1875 and the three
dollar pieces bearing the date Of 1873
