Samuel Teuow, who died a pauper
recently in San Francisco, was one ~
the earlier settlers on the Pacific coast
and In the good old days Of Frisco's
babyhood was known as "Prince
frodigal,' because of the facility with
which he won and lost fortunes over
the green baize- He built the old Bella
Union Theater, having as q partner in
Its management William Skaneantla-
bury, whom he shot to death during n
quarrel. Tetlow was sentenced to DEAN
but social influence brought about
his acquittal at former trial. AT one
time he owned the property now known
as Sutro Heights. which he sold 10 ex-

Fecundity of TIE sparrow.

Sparrows are the rabbits of the feath-
cred world In point of multiplication,
frequently producing more than twenty
young ones In q season. three or four
broods of six or seven being not unus-
ual. In six years the progeny OF one
single pair of spnrrows will amount to
millions, MS evidence the alarming
rapidly with which the United States,
New Zealand and Australia are now
infested. the number originally taken
over by emigrants being very small.
Complaints from American, Australian
and New Zealand agriculturists of the
ravages committed by the bird are even
more bitter than those of English farm
ers. The total numbers Of sparrows are
out of all proportion to those of other
species of birds.

can hardly imagine any one as saying
