1 DAMD CHILD A f AYORTE Ralph Cibton, the three-year-old boy who was held at the Blue Mountain hotel pending the arrival of its rightful mother, hat taken full charge of the hotel, and all who happen around the hotel, promptly become worshippers of the little tot. Last evening, when Mr. Johnson returned to the hotel after an hour spent up town. Master Ralph heard him coming, and was at the door to meet him. "Up! up!" was the first gurgling articulation Ralph made, and when safe ly landed in Mr. Johnson's arms he twin ed his little arms about the benefactor's neck, cuddled his yellow cu'ls close to Mr. Johnson's face and shouted "Big ug!" Contentment and happiness marks every lineament of the intelligent face. Altho only three years old, he articulates quite distinctly and to visitors at the hotel he exhibits his numerous articles of apparel and toys which have been supplied him since coming to the hotel, for the cloth ir.gthst ccvcrcd the little tot i h came here was exceedingly scanty, and dirty, Ralph has won the hearts of all who see him and last evening while perched on the counter in the hotel, industriously tooting a mouth organ, he had about him a half-score of admirers.

For the third time San Franbisco has offered $1,500, 000 of street bonds and received no bids. It is difficult to determine whether this is because the bonds are not regarded as a profitable investment at three and a half per cent or because of the lack of con fidence in the present municipal adminis tration.
