There are many most poetic pic

Cornwall coasts and cliffs, and the
Professor himself tells most charming

The majority of the pictures are for

other of the Big Trees. and still an
other of Golden Gate from Berkeley,
while among the smaller ones are found
few San Francisco sketches, a San

Colonel D. M. Burns Remembered
ON His Anniversary.

Colonel D. M. Burns was the recipient

Inquire, and the little matter of the
anniversary of his arrival was for the
time forgotten by him.
But not SO with some of his many
Sacramento friends and admirers. A
few CT these gentlemen had some ele-
CANT floral pieces prepared for presenta-
ton to him, and they were sent to the
parlor Of the Golden Eagle Hotel. and
there presented to him amid congratu-
lations that warmed his heart. The
Colonel was completely surprised and
quite overcome by this mark Of esteem
on the part of his friends
The latter desired to make the occa-
sion one of unusual moment-to have
music, addresses, ETC., but at Colonel
Burns earnest request that portion was
omitted.
One Of the floral pieces was especially
beautiful 1t represented horseshoe
