Costly Hats for Men.

The most expensive hat on record
cost $500 in gold, and was presented
to General Grant while in Mexico in
1882, says the Chicago Record. It is
now on exhibition i'll the National
Museum ut Washington-perhaps
the finest Mexican sombrero that was
ever made.
While William H. Seward was Sec.
rotary OF State in Lincoln's Cabinet,
some Of his admirers in South Amer
lea sent him a Panama hat which
cost $1,000. 1t was on exhibition in a
show window in New York for a year
or more. Panama hats used to be
frequently sold as high as $500 each
A New York halter says that in 1867
he sold three hats at that price in a
single day, but they are no longer in
the market. The most expensive hat
he has sold for several years was
bought by New York banker last
summer for S110. It was the last fine
Panama hat in stock. Such hats are
still WORE by the hidalgos in South
America. They are not made III
Panama, but got the name because
that city was formerly the greatest
market for them. The finest hats
come from Guayquil and Payta, Peru.
They are made of the fiber of the
pita, or pineapple plant, which is as
soft and pliable as silk, and some of
them are so fine that they can be
folded up and carried in the vest
pocket.

The Truth Well Told.

She was a woman worn and thin
whom the world condemned cor "a
single sin, they cast her ont on the
kings highway, and passed her by as
they went to pray. He was man
and more to blame, but the world
spared him breath 6f shame; be-
neath his feet he saw her lie, but
raised his head and passed her by.
They were people who went to pray
at the temple of God ON the holy day;
they scorned the woman, :orgave the
man, it was ever thus since the world
began. Time passed on and the
woman died, and on the cross of
shame she was crucified. but the
world was stern and would not yield,
and they buried her in the potter's
field. The man died, too, and they
buried him in casket of cloth with a
silver rim, and said as they turned
from his grave away, eve have buried
an honest man today" Two mortals

Last night sounds Of revelry fioated
through the corridors of the Occidental

room shone over 200 and more brave men
who had come together to carve the fowl
of peace, after having spent year and
over in plucking the tail feathers out
of the Spanish and Tagalo birds of war.
The occasion was a dinner given by
Company of the California regiment
to Company B of the Minnesota com
mand in recognition of the many courte-
sizes extended by the men of the north
to our San Francisco lads while both
regiments were making the best Of their
stay in Manila.
The tables were beautifully decorated
and a string orchestra in attendance lent
the charm of music to the more Substan-
tial charms emanating from savory
dishes and properly cooled bottles.
Captain Filmer Of the Californians, act
ing as toastmaster, made an address of
welcome, and then called upon the diff

THIRTEEN MILLIONS INVOLVED
RUMoR CREATES A SENSATION
IN FINANCIAL CIRCLES.
THIRTEEN MILLIONS INVOLVED

The r1lmor current IN this city yester-
dav afternoon that the Crockers had dis
posed Of their entire holdings In the
Southern Pacific and Central Paclnc
Railroad companies to the banking nrm
Of Speyer & Co., of New York, created
intense excitement in financial circles
While no positive confirmation OF the
story was obtained the source OF IN
formation is reliable, and 1t was generally
accepted as correct
What lends color to the rumor is the
fact that neither George nor VIII Crocker
would discuss the matter and refused 10
affirm or deny it. When George Crocker
was asked whether the report was true
or not he quickly replied:
Go ask Mr.. Speyer. Probably he will
tell YOU" and he positively declined TO
say any more about 1t.
VIII Crocker was just as averse to ols-
cussing the subject as his brother, ana 70
all questions regarding 1t answered tiias aizs
which he considered private and OF no
possible public concern
The firm of Speyer & Co. is wldely
known and has houses in Amsterdam
London and New York. 1t has en-
gfneered some very important hnanclal
deals for c. P. Huntington, and recently
put through the famous reorganiZaflon
of the Central Pacific and its consolida-
ton with the Southern Paclhc. James
Speyer, a representative OF the concern;

il was probably at that time that he had
the Crocker deal in view. II Is @ sag 90 tnae a.
the firm has placed over Sl23,OuV,VoO IN
bonds for Huntington, and 1t counts
among it's patrons some or the WeallhIesI
people in Europe.
1t was impossible to ascertain Tor Whom
the Speyers were acting in the purchase OF
the Crocker interests. 1t is supposed, how
ever that they were acting for some lore
lnidable money power, and the names OF
the Vanderbilts and even huntington
himself are mentioned in this connection.
1t is understood that all OF the rs
have disposed of their stock Ihere are
five of them and they together own a a
fifth interest in the property II IS
valued at about $13 900, ,0O0, and comprises
$40 600 shares of the stock.

and asked him If the story was correct
that he had purchased the Crocker IN
terests in the Central and Southern Pa

declined to discuss the subject. Inc
Crockers here in San Francisco decline
nificant that none of the parties con-
cerned deny the reported transaction.

A BIC BLOCK
Of THE STOCK

NEW YORK, Sept. 19.-The Journal to-
DAY says: A large share in the Central
and Southern Pacific railways has been
bought by Speyer & Co., bankers OF this
city.
1t was said last night by a gentleman
conversant with the affairs of the two
companies that Speyer & Co. had ar
ranged recently to purchase large DOCK
OF these securities, but he could not tel
whether the interest acquired was the
Cracker or the Stanford holdings.
Inc Journals informant however,
salQ he could deny the report that the
deal was partly a Vanderbilt scheme for
the control Of the transcontinentaI rall-
way system.
There is no Vanderbilt money in this"
friendly to c. P. Huntington; The firm

central Pacific. Mr.. Speyer is not buy

oTers, the holdings of others who are

interests, and will hold them on his own

Mr.. Speyer was in San Francisco q
snort time ago. and it was understood at
that time that q large deal in Central

which cigars We're lighted and all sat at
