Florence OF beggars. II was proclaim.
cd that every beggar who would ap.
pear In the grand plaza at h certain
mentioned time would be provided
with new suit Of clothes by the duke
free Of cost. At the appointed time the
beggars OF the city oil assembled. and
the grand duke, causing all the avenues
to the square to be closed, compelled
the beggars to strip or their old
clothes and gave each one, according
to promise. a new suit. In the old
clothes thus collected enough money
was found concealed to build beautl-
ful bridge over the Arno. still called the
"Bcggars' bridge" and the city for the
time being was relieved Of the besgars
by which II had been previously over
run. as none would give to the well

win issue his warrlRtNto the kings OF
arms, authorizing them TO grant and
confirm to him due and proper armo-
rial ensigns. to be borne according to
the laws OF hcrallry by him and his
descendants. This memorial Is pre-
sented and a warrant Is issued by the
earl marshal. under which patent Of
arms is made out. exhibiting a paint

The Cliff house stood on rocky bluff
overlooking the Pacific ocean. 1t was
fifty feet above the water and was IA
vorite resort for thousands on bright
days both winter and summer. Visitors
there could sit on the west verandas and
watch the hundreds of sea lions and
seals which congregate on Seal Rock,
about 200 feet from the mainland. In
stormy weather the waves frequently
swept over the building.
One hundred yards north of the Cliff
house are the famous Sutro baths which
were built into the rocky bluff. The
baths are constructed Of steel and glass
and are said to be among the finest In
the world. They were built at a cost of
about $3.50, 900 by the late Adolph Sutro
who gave them to the city of San Fran
