BRANCHING OUT.
George Brissel Now in England on
a Business Venture.

John P. Brissel yesterday received a
very interesting letter from his son
George, written on board the United
States mail steamer New York a few
days before her arrival in England,
whittier he goes as agent for the Amer
lean Guitar and Either Company of San
Francisco.
Young Brissel is but 20 years Of age,
but he was one of the first to offer his
country his services in the Spanish war.
He was in Captain Lucey's Sacramento
company, which was mustered out last
spring.
Inclosed in the letter is a. neatly
printed program of Grand Concert"
given by the saloon passengers on
board the New York in mid-ocean. 1t
was in aid of the fund of the American
Seamen's Friend Society of New York:
the Society for the Relief of the Des-
tltute Children of Seamen, Staten ISL
and; the New York Mariners Family
Asylum; the Blue Anchor Society, and
the Seamen's Orphanage of South
ampton, Eng. The part that fell to Mr..
Brlssel was the recitation of "The
Drowning Singer
Judging from the numbers on the
program, the entertainment was first
class. The "Star-Spangled Banner"
and God Save the Queen" were also
rendered. AT the bottom of the pro-
gram the guests were informed that
Carriages may be ordered at 1890"
Young Brissel, who was born in this
city, has started out with a determina-
ton to make his way through the world
on business lines, and will first try his
hand in the big cities of Europe.

A FINE LECTURE.
HOME LIFE IN DIXIE DURING
THE WAR.
How DIR. Samuel A. Steel of Nash
Vile Delineated It Last
Night.

Home Life in Dixie During the War"
was the subject of the lecture delivered
by DR.. Samuel A Steel of Nashville,
Tenn, at the Y. NJ c. A. Hall, Fifth
and j streets. last evening. The hail
was we'll filled, and those SO fortunate
as to be present enjoyed a thorough
treat.
DR.. Steel lost no time in ingratiating
himself with his audience. He took II
into his confidence at the start, and to
the close his lecture sparkled with
pleasant and unexpected surprises. The
trials of the home-people of the South
during the dark days of the rebellion
were tempered with mirth- provoking
incidents, told by a master, and sun
shine chased the shadows and smiles
followed choky descriptions, so that one
who heard wondered how it was all
done.
And the speaker was at home with
his subject. He had been there. He
was entertaining and unique in his Sc
lection of words to express his thoughts
to a degree seldom equaled. A close
student, an inimitable mimic, logical
reasoner and a certain happy -go-lucky
y,
dest pictures in the garb one is glad to
meet, whether from Dixie or California.
The lecture, by the way, has been de-
livered not only throughout the South,
but in New England and the great
Middle West, and as all question as TO
the rightfulness or wrongfulness of the
principles of secession was eliminated,
nobodys toes were trampled
His first picture was that of his
fathers home in the Old South, the oc-
casion being the fall of 1860, when he
heard his first of war, and when, boy
like, he hung upon the words of the
minister, who contended that in case
war was declared the South would win
In ninety days, and that if gunboats
started down the river to divide the
country they would be blown out of the
water by cannon posted at the first
bend in the stream, and that night he
dreamed of booming cannon and e1-
ploding gunboats.
His next sketch was drawn while war
was young. Bull Run had been fought
and a rally was held with a view to
enlisting the young men of the neigh
borhood. The orator, with a broad
gauge voice, announced that the Yam
KEGS were still running, and the young
men fell in line, talking and acting as
though they We're going on summer
excursion. They knew not what they
were doing, but the old men who looked
with solemn faces on the gay gathering,
knew it was not to be picnic, and the
mothers knew.
And then the feast was spread be-
meath the trees, the last spread of the
Old South, and the boys marched away,
many of them taking their swallow
tailed coats with them
Then came the change. One day a
coffin with it's freight arrived, and soon
men returned with arms in slings
and on crutches, and then they cid not
come, and those at home only knew
from occasional letters from the front,

UNKNOWN MAN DROWNED.
Walked Off the Deck of a Barge
Into the River.

An unknown man was drowned last
night about o'clock at Front street,
between o and P, by walking off into
the river.
Watchman Beck of the Transporta-
tion Company, noticed him go down
the gangway at Front and n streets
and come back and go to Front street.
Shortly afterwards he went down to
the river and walked out on plank
to a barge lying between o and p
streets. Going across the barge he
walked off into the water on the other
side between it and another barge.
Ybad Plombren, a Swede who was
watchman on the outside barge, asked
him what he was doing and pushing
down a plank to him, told him to catch
hold of it, but he merely waved his
arms a little and made no effort to
catch it.
The watchman described him as a
we'll dressed young man about five feet
in hight and wearing an overcoat. He
seemed to have something white
wrapped around his right arm. Nobody
seemed to know who he was last night.

BANQUET OF vICTORS.
Officials of the G. G. w. Banquet
the Winning Team.

The Race Committee and Captain or
the Capital City Wheelmen last even
ing gave a banquet to the club team
which defeated the Olympic team of
San Francisco on the 22d inst. 1t was
purely a personal committee compli-
ment to the team.
The spread was made at the Maison
Faure and covers were laid for five
members of the committee and the ten
members of the team, J. Hirsch, Gil Ell
dred, C. Noyes, Thomas Welch, w.
Penry, Percy Valentine, H. Noyes,
Leith Turnor. r. Backrath and Len
Dorsey.
The members of the committee pres
ent were Chairman L. S. Upson, Cap
tain Ammon Clay and Messrs. Little,
Lavenson and Woodson. Messrs. Nc
Donald and Goethe of the committee,
were unavoidably prevented from at
tending. Mr. Upson presided as toast
master, and very happily and wittily
filled the office. President Woodson
supported him at the opposite end Of
the table.
An elegant repast was served after
which the POSTMASTER gave THE
Olympic Club" which was drank stand
ing. From the other end of the table
came the toast the &C C. W. Team
and then the committee was toasted,
the c. c. w. Club, the President, the
Captain, the city, and so on Bouquets
were thus thrown in toast form all
down the line and happy speeches were
made by nearly all present. A pretty
poem by James Whitcomb Riley was
read, then followed recital of personal
experiences, sentiments, anecdotes, etc,
until little after 10 o'clock when
goodnight" was called and the com
pany dispersed.
During the evening a very warm con-
gratulatory letter was read from Chas
Albert Adams of the Olympic Club,
which was tinged with the regret that
his club team had been defeated, but
had consoling lines in the expression
that it was gratifying to realize that
defeat came from friends esteemed so
highly as the c. c. w. are by the o.
c. w.
In the middle of the table during the
banquet there was displayed the tro-
ply which is to remain as a memento
of the victory of the 22d. It is a hand
some French gilt vase of classic design,
with enamel inlaying of chrysanthe-
