Death of A. Monk.

The following notice may in
terest the members OF the Board of
Health:
Monk-At the Angel Island bu-
bonic germ stock farm March ID,
1900. A Monk, late of Chinatown,
San Francisco, and last surviving
member of the unfortunate inccu-
lated menagerie of the Board Of
Health. Death resulted after a pain
full illness caused by lack OF food
and water. Friends and acquaint-
ances among the medical fraternity
in which Mr.. Monk was an object
of deep interest and corcsrn are re.
spectfully invited to attend the
funeral. The members of the San
Francisco Board OF Health will act
as pallbearers, and in consideration
of the respect in which they held
the deceased they are expected to
wear crepe for thirty days. His
Honor James d. Phelan, tho Mayor
of San Francisco, will deliyer the
eulogy, in which he will expatiate,
it is announced upon the virtue Of
possessing small things with which
to make great noisas.-S. 4. Call.

The Frisco Plague.

Chinatown has settled to its ma
tural level, the exodus on account OF
the threatened quarantine has ceas
ed, the plague bacilli are off on a
vacation and once again the breath
OF confidence is drawn in the Chi
nese quarter.
For fear Of finding another chick
who can generate within himself the
necessary quantum OF destructive
germs, the district where the Mon
goliau dwells is receiving slow but
steady cleansing, The members OF
the Board OF Health are beginning
to think that they have au Augean
labor ahead Of them, hut they will
stay with the task for time.
Chief Sullivan has issued an or
der nstructing all policemen to visit
the Chinese lauudries on theis beats,
and in case sickness is discovered to
make an immediate report to the
Board Of Health.
Word came last night from the
Angel Island stock farm--for scien-
tific purposes only--that the delay
ed death OF the monkey had arrived.
The simiau, who has been fed on
choice germ foods, bucked against
the treatment until to die was
blessing, SO he joined the majority
with martyrs prayer.

The American Cup.

Messrs. Thornycroft, the famous
torpedo boat builders at Chiswick,
feel certain, says correspondent,
that had the designing OF the Sham.
rock as we'll as her construction been
wholly entrusted to their firm, the
America Cup would by this time be
back in the country of its origin.
1t is a main part of their
business to design for the maxi
mum of speed, that bsng "sne
qua non" in tie casa of all
torpedo craft. The conditions differ
but slightly whether steam power or
wind power is to be the motor. In
both cases the main problem is how
best to minimise the resistance OF
water without and sacrifice Of weat-
herliness. There is possibility that
the Chisw;ck firm rill shortly re-.
ceive an order to lay down racing
cutter on their own lines, to compete
with the Columbia when she comes
over here next year, Negotiations
have been in progress for some time,
but one or two difficulties OF a fn-
ancial characte, remain to be sur.
mounted. 1t is desirable that the
American champion shall be faced
by craft OF about her own size, as
Mr.. Iselin and his confederates do
not feel disposed to risk her reputa.
tion in matches in which she would
be badly handicapped by time or rig
allowances. They are prepared, it
is stated, to match her against any
British boat on equal terms.
