braced against the iron railing in front
Of the window facing on Wyoming street,
chatting ABOUT clrrent events, when a
beautiful woman OF the blonde type came
down Broadway and entered the hotel
by the side doorway. AS she was cross
ing the street the commercial traveller
gazed at her very earnestly and turning
to his companions remarked: Boys.
there's one of the handsomest women l
have seen in a long time. By George,
she's a perfect queen. There's something
awfuily sweet about her face. despite

that when her eyes softened and her face
frightened it was only for me-

The fearful casualty resulting in Sal
Francisco yesterday from the roof Of a
building on which d number of persons
were watching the progress of a football
game between the University of Califor-
MIA and Leland Stanford University COL
lapsing has caused a good deal of COM
ment around the corridors of the hotels.
AS the list of dead and injured was not
published in the press reports, many
were exceedingly anxious with regard to
the welfare of relatives or friends.
Ex-Governor Richards had a boy pres
ent watching the game and was exceed
ingly uneasy for fear that he might have

have now been set at rest.

list. He had two boys there. He rushed
out as soon as he heard of the accident

carefully through the list of latest ar.
rivals. They did not find what they were
looking for and one by one passed Out
and went to the McDermott.
The secret of their quest finally leaked
out by one trying to find out If any o.
