A SAN FRANCISCO LETTER Vicious Side of Life at the Metropolis. Immorality In High Life and Low Pictured as It Really Is. ee San Francisco, Aug 1, 1891. Eprror Transcript:—The vicious side of San Francisco life is not a pleasant subi ject to write on, but yet to those who be lieve that Balzac and Shakespear are grea. because true to actual life, the subject is interesting. The city has its share o hoodlums and toughs of both sexes, ana I am indebted to a friend of mine on the detective force for much of the information in this article. I omit reference to the . class made up of convicts and professional thieves and confidence operators, for the, constitute a class by themselves of which we read enough in the daily papers. The dives, as the low concert ana drinking halls are called, are not.a prominent now as formerly. Theii characteristics are low dramatic per formanves’ and women waiters wh. serve for a certain percentage of their reseipts. ‘Some of their dives are muci lower than others. Their patrons ar shiefly ‘fellows from the country,” wh: shink it'great fun to drink with the girl ind be carried off drunk to their lodging ut two in the morning in a hack. Wh, hey go away for home for such entertain nent the gods alone know. It would b. lifficult to -devise a recreation mor orutal and demoralizing. But scores an: ores of countrymen—ranchers. an niners—married and single, ‘enjoy’ themselves in the city in thig fashion an¢ some home-and claim to have had ¢ ‘good time.” The dive waitress is rarely a virtuou yverson. Sheis mostly the mistress o iome loafer or bummer, who lives off he sarnings. When the street corner mashe ueceeds in-getting some silly girl orwo. dosition in a dive where she can suppor tim. From the dive she graduate lownward to her, ‘‘whose home is thr “yay to—hell.”~ Oceasionally a marrie voman is driven by poverty to work in « live and retains her moral respectability “¢ is however about as rare-as the pre: “wes” of white “blackbirds” in~ the corr ields. Next in the class are the lodging hous sirls who live somehow—only known t themselves. The extreme liberality o jan Francisco on matters relating t ‘odgings gives this type unlimited range Many of them work in shop~ or factor luring the day and roam around by tight.. Some are driven to this life b: voverty but many select it from a desir ‘or fine clothes. As a general rule the: 1ave some self-respect left and are no iopelessly depraved like those who hav: ‘esigned themselves to a life of profe: wable surroundings reform. One of th nost singular things about San Francise somes good and bad, by turns. Wome. wre met in society every day whose past ‘ecord would not stand-the glare of th »rinting press without horror. The rul of our fathers used to be that a man coul tumble and recover, but a woman wh. ‘tumbled was ruined. San. Francisco—* w I should rather say California—ha tbolished this rule, for the recuperativ. wility of both sexes seems very nearly It has often been urged that our public ichools do not teach morality, but as x natter of fact an enormous percentag: ‘perhaps 50 per cent.) of the female tough of San Francisco were educated in religious schools of different denominations. The cause of this is plain: In the public schools there may be no great refinement. but a girl learns something of the work and of the art of taking careherself. In church schools girls are brought up to green—they are reared like hot-hous plants—and often wilt at the first scorch ing breath of temptation. How mucl. sught agirl to know without knowing too much, is one of the vexed social ques. sions of the day. For my part, I say she ought any how to know enough tc She should learn to be cautious and distrustful, at least until she sees enough of life to discover character. Of course there isa great deal of coarse associations in the public school, but it is the world itself in miniature and aids in making a hardy manhood and hardy womanhood: He o: she who is good because of never having had a chance to be bad, has only a gingerbread virtue. Who can tell what they will become when such a chance comes? I repeat that the proportion of tough woman in San Francisco who have been educated at sectarian schools, is such as to show that all talk about the moral superiority of such institutions over the public schools is false in fact. A large number of the tough women— perhaps over one half—help to support They at night haunt the low saloons and often get into bloody encounters among . 4 Brief Record of Various Matters of omtertainment to be given at the Theater aining money under false pretenses from hoodlums of the opposite sex. They are }Me}. If not called for in fifteen days the letinfatuated with each other, as they do eléewhere, one of the parties generally remaining cool and often turning the occasion into an opportunity to make money. The Sharon case ventilated this practice so far the fair sex pursue the male gender. But it is not generally known that rich women often become entangled and are freely bled by their male acquaintances. Someti the ralationship stops short of & violation of any of the ten cgommandments ; often the lady is a married woman who engages in some innocent flirtation with some apparently respectable person of slender means. ‘Playing with fire,” the old story is repeated. She becomes sentimental and interested in the welfare of her friend. . He remains cool, waiting for a chance to make money out of the occurrence (no San Franciscoan ever loses a chance to play a friend for a sucker, for it is against the rules). When he thinks the proper time comes he “taps” his rich lady admirer for a thousand or two, by way of a “loan.” It is to start him in some business, or some such excuse. When he gets all he can out of her he shakes her, and what Mr. Saltus would call the ‘Transaction of Hearts” is over. Of course the money is aever repaid and to collect it by law is out. of the question. Silence-is-necessary-. vo szcrecy. Let us blush for the meaness of our sex, for such incidents are sommon and occur once in a while even.in Nevada county ! Sometimes things take a different course. Foolish letters are written to che victimizer and when the denouement arrives these letters are only returned on she payment of a good round sum. In ull such cases it is shown that an intriging mam can be just as cruelfand as nercenary as an intriguing woman. The nan or the woman who allows the emosions to get the better of.the judgment is ways at the mercy of the object of infatiation. It is the old, old story, * ———_——~-~18 . HERE AND THERE.

To-day many of us are being yonquered—our peace, our rest and daily ‘ppetite wrested from us by that invader £ the stomach, dyspepsia. Succor we sue for from ahundred sourees, Temporary relief we sometimes obtain. . But a hearty meal, the simplest indiscretion in diet, and the Protean imp returns with redoubled vigor to torment us. A persistent use of the great anti-dyspeptic ind regulating tonic, Hostetter’s Stomih Bitters, is best calculated to drive into permanent banishment eyery form of indigestion, temporary or chronic. No less efficacious is it for malaria, biliousness, constipation, rheumatism, kidney and bladder ailments. This remedy of specific utility and many uses overcomes them all.

Bigger Profitsin Mining Than in Any Other Business. ‘The general public has a very faint and indefinite knowledge of the extent legitimate mining is carried on in the Western states and on the Pacific coast,” said Evan Williamson, a well known’ miner . and prospector to the San Francisco Post. “With the ignorant class little attention is paid to the subject, and gold or silver might be grown like a crop of hay for aught they know or care, so long as they can put their hands on it when wanted. 3 ‘There is another class however, which not only decries mining, but does its best to discredit all-who are engaged in the pursuit., The prejudice has grown out of losses sustained by hasty, ill-advised investments, taking the statements of irresponsible speculators as facta without giving them the careful investigation that would be given to any ordinary business project submitted for investigation. This leadsrto losses. Want of knowledge of the business has more to do with a failure to realize profits than the wants of merit of the property itself, “Tf the truth were known the miner in the West is today hand in hand in prosperity witn the vineyardist, the’ fruit raiser and the merchant. ‘Every dollar he produces has a values to the world at large, and is that much added to its wealth and circulating medium in a-form to be seldom affected by the change of dynasties or the downfall of governments. “From a list of seventy-five mines the profits shown as paid to stockholders since incorporation amount to $132,000,000, besides which there ara hundreds of small private ventures of which no note is taken and which will increase the total by fully $18,000,000, as the result of mining investments. ‘Mining pays better ‘as now conducted, gives better returns and larger profits, than any other form of every day business,” tired feeling and debility, and in the wéakened condition of the aystem, diseases arising from impure blood are liable to appear.

FORMATION OF LEDGES. ~ A Process That Some Alleged Experts » Do Not Understand. Westerday’s Virginia City Enterprise says in the course of an interesting article on ledge formation: A-ledge is a crack in the earth’s surface filled with quartz or other rock in place. It does not need to bear mineral (except in the eyes of the law) to be a ledge, though all matter contains more or less gold and silver. The salt-sea water contains from two to seven cents a ton in gold and silver. It does not need to have continuity to be called a ledge any more than an inclosure needs continuity, to be called a fence. Now, how was it formed ? As before remarked\all matter contains gold and silver. Ata very remote period the earth was hot. It cooled gradually. As it cooled its surface cracked ; the cracks extended down to hot water ; the water sweated through the country rock on eace side of the cracks and took up in the form of vapor an ‘atom of gold and of silver, and it ascended toward the surface until it reached a‘ point cool enough to precipitate its metal. Like having an affinity for like, where precipitation of gold and.silver began, there fol. lowed subsequent preciptation and. there . we now find the rich concentrations. It often occurs that. unaltered country rock is found in the ledge. This is caused by blocks of rock falling into the ledge from the hanging wall during the process of formation. It is thus readily under: stood how little pebbles and huge blocks of unaltered country rock may get into a ledge. . When found, the bigger ones are called ‘‘horses,” though the term conveys 20 idea of their origin or their character. It is not known how it originated. There is no more sense in it than there is in the theory that ledges were ‘‘pushed”’ to the surface. : All ledges are not formed by precipitation and filling in as above described, but some ledges are formed and filled by lateral infiltration. The earth is cracked; country rock contains lime, copper and other mineral ; the snows and rains of the seasons permeate the country-rock and form a solution capable of leaching the precious metals that it contains and deposit its Lurden in the cracks, filling and forming the ledges. These mineral waters have their effeet on all ledges constantly.-_Native wire anil-horn silver is produced by the natural leaching process after the veins are formed. : Mr. Stone’s Apology Accepted: M. P. Stone today appeared before the County Board-of Education in response to a citation to show cause why his teacher’s certificate should not be revoked because of his failure to attend the last Teachers’ excuse explanatory of his absence. Mr. Stone stated that he was called away by important private business and sent_an excuse by Mr. Hennessy, then a member of the Board, but that Mr. Hennessy failed to deliver the message. The explanation was accepted. pe! Deafness Can’t be Cured By local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure deafness, andthat is by constitutional remedies. Deafuess is caused by an inflamed condi‘tion-of-the-mucvous lining of-the Bustach=. ; ian Tube. When this tube gets inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed, Deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh, which isnothing but an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces.
