San Francisco, Mar. S,-For 20
years William Kahler, aged 70 has
been beggar eating food taken from
ash cans and sleeping wherever he
could find shelter. Last night was
cool and the sidewalk on which Kah'
Ter had made his bed appeared so
uncomfortable to policeman that he
arrested the old man and took him
to a police station So that he might
have a comfortable mattress and
blankets. In searching Kahler 1t was
found that what was supposed to be
hump on his back was uncommonly
hard, and investigation revealed 1t
was not deformity, but tin box
which was packed with gold coin and
paper money. Various false pockets
in Kahler's clothes were emptied of
additional money, and when all was
counted, the total was $4,000.

An extraordinary punch brew took
place on October 25, 1894. The biggest
brew on record was made at the house
of Right Hon. Edward Russell, COM
mander in chief of his majesty's forces
in the Mediterranean.
A garden fountain, placed where
four walks met, was used as bowl
and in it the following ingredients
were poured:
Four hogsheads of brandy, $4,000
lemons, 20 gallons of lime juice, 1900
weight of white Lisbon sugar,
pounds of grated nutmegs, 300 toast
biscuits and one pipe of dry noun
tain Malaga.
Here, indeed, was a punch bowl
worthy of the heroes of the Seven
teenth century. A boat was specially
built so that boy might row about
in it and fill the cups of the assembled
guests, which according to our author
ity probably numbered more than

COMING OF so MANY FAMILIES
MAGISTRATES ANOTHER WARD
SCHOOL. ONE PRINCIPAL RE-
SIGNED.

The city board of education held a
meeting this morning and allowed the
pay roll for the past month, and the
checks will be issued to the teachers.
The resignation of ]. F. Adams, as
principal of the Third Ward was ac-
cepted and Prof George Lay, late. OF
the Edmond State Normal was elected
TO fill the position. The proposition
of installing heating plants in the
ward buildings was discussed and 1t
is very likely that work on these
plants will be begun Immediately af-
ter school is out, so the plants will
be ready for use next year without
disturbing the schools in their build
ings. A proposition is also on to dis
pose of the old Rudisill building in
the northeast portion of town. The
present gain in the number of chill
dren of scholastic age in the city
makes ii probable that another ward
building will be constructed. The
ward schools are badly crowded now,
and by next September there will be
several hundred other pupils here who
will have to be provided for in the
schools.

COMMISSIONERS VISIT ARDMoRE
Jack Love and George Henshaw look
Over Railroad and Oil FIELDS.

]. f. Love and George a. Henshaw,
members of the state corporation com
mission, came here yesterday and Wis
tied the oil fields. After spending the
day in the fields and along the Ring
ling road, they returned here and left
at midnight for Oklahoma City. These
gentlemen will conduct a hearing in
their office next Friday on the cost
of producing and refining oil and Will
investigate the reduction in the price
of crude in the Healdton field. They
wanted to become as thoroughly &C
uuainted with the field as possible,
and for that reason planned the trip
here.
While no statements were made, Il
is believed that matters in connection
with the new railroad were looked in
to. From what could be learned, the
road was encouraged by the commits
sion upon the grounds that it would
be built on through the country and
would make a usesful road to many
towns and TO many farms and now
it seems that efforts to carry out those
plans are either not being made at all
or are very slow, and the road is
likely to forfeit the friendship which
the commission has heretofore held
for it, This is a conclusion reached
from remarks made by the gentlemen
and is not based upon direct state
ments.
The commissioners were accom-
panied here by Paul Reece of II. n.
Billesby & Company of Chicago which
is large holding company for many
of the largest gas plants in the Unit
ed States. Mr.. Reece was Interested
in the gas production of the field and
his coming here may mean that his
company will make an effort to come
here as gas purchasing company.
