II HALF that was tub sizn or clais SPRECKELS' CHECK. 3e Presents It to the Xcvada Bank of San Francisco nnil It la Cashed ns nn Everyday- Tranmcllon, and Says tbe Hank Would Honor One for 3,000,000 More If He Drew One That IllsThe Money Probably Went Into Government Honda. It is a nil? thing to be a millionairs so many times that on3 can walk into a bank and check out $1.500,050, and yet rest easy in the consciousness that the showy transaction can be repeated the next day, and the next day after that without the bookkeeper remonstrating with a little notice to the effect that the account is overdrawn. It sounds like Aladdin's lamp, says the Ban Francisco Examiner. Doubtless there are several gentlemen in San Francisco who could do this if they rehearsed for the performance by consolidating their securities, but there are not many who make a habit of it. The average San Francisco paying teller would blink his eyes, make some inquiries in the back office, and even if all was pronounced regular he would stutter when he inquired, "Notes or gold, sir?" of the gentleman presenting a check for $1.500,000. Those were the figures on the check drawn by Claus Spreckels, the sugar king, on the Nevada bank last Friday, when clearing house transactions were swollen to considerably over high-water mark. Nobody questioned Mr. Spreckles's financial right to draw such a check or the bank's ability to eish it, but nevertheless it caused more of a flurry in banking and financial circ!?s than his been experienced in several year3. The Pacific and People's bank collapses were not unexpected, and were mere ripplos on the fact of the money ocean compared with the waves of talk the big cheek provoked. From all accounts Mr. Spreekle3 was walking dawn Montomery-st. In a reflective mood Friday morning when he was struck wuh the idea that he would like to aave a little pocket rrvney available in soma other instltut'on than the Nevada bank. He ellmbod the s:?p.4. asked for a rdank check, scratched in the dit seven Sirures. the words "Dank of California" after "Pay to," and then signed it as quietly as though he wi3 putting his O. K. on a cigar bill. The porte:it'"'U slip of paper was passed to Cashier David- n a. a matter of form ar.d the president was alo notified. The latter orfk-ial did not trouble himself to leave his office, but merely sent out word that it was all right, and Mr. Spreckies, being satisfied thit his business would be attended to, resumed his walk down town. Speculation on the Check. That is the way the story goes, and it may or may not be correct as to detail, but anyhow it Is certain that the man who beat the sugar trust on it3 own fighting gTound drew his check for a million and a h3lf of money last iriday, and the sum was transferred from the Nevada bank vaults to these of the bank of California before the close of business. With this fact to work on everybody in every bank in town began to speculate on the sort of a transaction that could involve such a mint of money and yet be kept a secret. Theories and rumors were thicker than fog. One young man evolved the explanation that Mr. Spreckels had baen the hidden hand in the mysterious bull movement in the wheat market last summer, and that the check was intended to cover the cost of buying steadily on a falling movement. This was generally laughed at by those who knew the Sp.-vckels'a opinion of wehat. Another suggestion was th;:t Mr. Spreckels was tired of business and intended to Eeok recreation in the United States senate. This idea was scornfully repelled. Everybody claimed to know for a fact that John D. Spreckies and his brother Adolph had merely gone into politics fjr amusement and to see how the machine was worked in various branches of the state ar.d municipal government, and that no m-m'oer of the family had any expensive desire for place. A transfer of accounts was considered the most likely theory. It was well remembered how th? Anglo-California bank disagreed with Mr. Spreckies once upon a time not so many years ago and the latter drew out his odd pennies by checking them into another bank. He had a lot of nice new checkbooks at the time. Instead of throwing them into the waste basket he bought a large red rubber stamp, and every time he drew a check thereafter he took this stamp and printed "Nevada bank" across that portion of the checkä that read "Anglo-California bank." This did not provoke a run on the bir.k that wa3 turned down, but It stood in the nature of a red reproach as long as these checkbonks lasted. The question of Friday's big check being a similar chang? in strong boxes was much debated, and the effect of such a transfer was discussed in like manner. It was this presentation of the case that induced Mr. Spreckel's to say something about hiä big check, which, by the way, he did n.t consider anything extraordinary last evening. He was engaged in an afterdinner game of checkers with hL? son, John, when called upon, and having a little the worst of the game was much more interested In the buttons on the board than in any matter Involving a mere million and a half. John D., too, was deeply interested in the game. It is a way these millionaires have, this being interested In tritles, and the young man is a fair sample of his sire. Joat nn Everyday Affair. "This is a small matter of private business," he said, "and i; Involves no business transaction that is of Interest to San Franciscans or any one else but myself, for that matter. I have drawn many checks for amounts as large or larger thin that, and, though some of them may have possessed some business significance, they have no: attracted any great annunt of attention. Wim is the matter with this one, which doe3 not involve any deals or turns or anything of interest In the business world?" Some of the theories of people who considered the check worth talking about were sup-r.sted, but Mr. Spreckies only liughed until the matter cf a transfer of his account was mentioned. "There Is absolutely nothing in that. The Nt-vada bank paid my check for $1.5(9 f 00 Fridiy, and it would ci-h another or? for a similir amount tomorrow morning and a.notaer one :f the im szi in the afternoon, if I had occasion to draw them. If I thought it would not there might be some ground for the tilk of a transfer of account, but the bmk was n?ver in better condition to pay a check, and th? fact is that the Nevada still hjlds mora of my money than th Cilifrnia. The boys bmk Ther?, too, I believe, and we have eight or nine accounts with the institution thit will remain there." A Puge s;ion that the withdrawal might be an object of too many t-ggs in one basket was frowned upon. "No the bank has nothing to do with the withdrawal. I know enough about it -to k.-!"w that the Nevad i would cash mv chek for another $1,500,000 whether I hid th money tVre or not. tut it i.s there, a.T I -o-y if I want to draw x check for ! :''.'rcltles studied th? situition on 'ii-1 ' K-r board for a moment, saw a sri.vm -.: h,-p? in a bait that hrke into I.

ing pretty steadily cf late. He sld out his stock in the Philadelphia, refinery that inflicted such a stab on the trust, and had not reinvested the coin received from that source. This was considerable, as he freighted J500.000 in $20 gold pieces East when he started that refinery, and is commonly reputed t- have brcusht back something like $3,000.000 instead. This money has been lying idle in most part. a3 Mr. Spreckies has been traveling in Europe for pleasure only. Coming down to the subject of the transfer again he said significantly that it might be that he had concluded to invest some of this idle money in government bonds. This apparently solved the apparent mystery without any further exploration. The Bank of California has been a purchaser cf the new Issue of United Slates bonds to the extent of $1.800.000. If $1.500,000 of these bonds were bought to Mr. Spreckles's order the necessity or occasion for his moving that amount of money around the corner and down the street one block Is plainly apparent. With these hints Mr. Spreckies returned to hi3 game of checkers, dismissing the subject as unworthy of further talk.

OXE LANGl'AGE FOR MEDICINE. An Italian SngReata Thnt Latin lie Vaetl tn AH Countries. Decidedly the question of a universal language o? medicine is in the air. During the las: few months, says the British Medical Journal, we have had occasion to refer to several proposals of the kind. Now come another. thi3 time from Italy. Dr. E. Vitall of Rari has addressed a long letter to the Italian minister of public Instruction. Dr. Ilaoelli. inviting him, as president of the International medical congress, to propose to the organizing committee that Latin be recognized as one of the official languages at the next (Moscow) congress, and as the sole official languige at all future congresses, beginning with the fourth from the one held this year in Home. Dr. Vitali's argument is briefly that, while all medical men have some smattering cf Latin, comparatively few know any modern language but their own. Very few understand all the languages used at congresses, which hence serve to give an idea of the Tower of IIa bei. as fir as confusion of tongues is concerned. However bad may be th? Latin (rken. it will ahvtys. Dr. Vitali maintains, be more intelligible than any one modern language to the largest number, and that, after all, is the min point. For any one really in earnest in the matter thTe need be no difficulty in acquiring sufficient fluency In Latin for the purpose in view. Ir. Hacelli has sent a diplomitic reply to Dr. Vitali's communication, in which he promisrs to give the subject proper consideration, etc. There, so far as we know, the rr.;itter rests; and there, we Imagine, it is likely to rest. Th-rre would be unquestionably man- advantages in the revival of Latin as the lingue fr.an.ea of science, nor d--s the scheme involve any insuperable difficulties. In an interesting article in Temple Dar for August it is siated that the cel"hrat?d Dr. liozzi Granville, when h? wished to enter th? English navy, had some difficulty about his examination at Ha!a; as none of the medical staff spoke any European linguae" but his own. At the suggestion of the surgeon of the Raven, whose communications with his assistant had been carried on in Luin, that language was employed; the Italian doctor passed triumphantly. Dr. Vitali d es not refer to one practical difficulty, namely the diversity of pronunciation used in different countries. There Is a story which may well be true of a British ecclesiastic who made a. speech in Latin to th? p -pe, to which the holy father excused himself from replying on the plea that he did not understand English. A Spaniard's Latin is absolutely unintelligible to the uninitiated, and a Frenchman's Is not easy to follow when he quotes Virgil. Are Itrn.iette Quick Tampered? Physiology is a somewhat grewsome science, but it is full of fascinating side issuc-s. says the New York Press. Closely allied, as it is. to psychology it supplies the data for the solution of many problems of temperament and character. The reason for differences of temper In individuals might have been laid to racial peculiarities or hereditary family influences were it not that certain scientific gentlemen assure us that the color of the hair and the eyes and the texture of the skin account for many divergencies. This claim 5s worth examining. Must a girl be phlegmatic because she Is a blonde? Shall a woman watoh and guard herself against abnormal irritability because her hair and eyes are black and her complexion matches better with bronze powder than with pink? Bad temper is certainly a fault, and romantic love is often, but by no means always based uiwn personal attributes. The poets seem to have It that fair women are 'the sweet apples and dark women the crab apples on the tree of femininity; and recommend each man to pluck as suits his taste, for the amiably sweet cr the agreeably bitter. Poets are usually lacking1 in common sense, however, and the thoughtful man will hesitate to accept this characterization as final. Cleopatra, who was a brunette, showed many evidences of quick ferocity; but then Catherine of Russia, who was a blonde, is reported to have had a very bad temper indeed. Probably bad temper is not the result of the coloring matter of the hair or the cuticle, but results from an infirmity of organization. Sensitive, high strung people are notoriously irritable. Red haired girls with freckles are currently understood to be of doubtful dispositions; although some of the noblest women of history have answered to this description, and the color Is now highly fashionable. While their pangs last dyspeptics are almost always ill natured. snappy and trascible. And young women addicted to hay fever are quite unapproachable in the morning. What temper Is rarely, if ever, charged up against the complexion of men. Under stress of cure and worry blonde men are quite as violently vociferous as those of more somber hue. Nothing could be clearer than that a serious injustice has been done to brunettes by this popular prejudice. An EntrrprlNlngr Ilnokcye Girl. A nieecker-st. market received a consignment of dressed fowls from Ohio a few days ago, and among those who purchased from the stock was Samuel Phillips, an employe of Rogers. Pcet & Co., who has batchelor apartments nt 224 W. Fourthst. He bought a lusciou.? duck for Sunday dinner. While preparing the bird for the roasting pan his attention was directed to a sheet of paper tied with a dainty ribbon to the left wing. It proved to b? a letter. Phillips is on the shady side of life and has long since departed from the stage of love-making, so he gave the note to a young friend. It was d:ited Mt- Liberty, O.. and read: "Dear Friend I will write you a. letter and let you know that I am going to pick ducks tomorrow at my neighbor's.

The Shark Thnt Took n Man and Curried II I in Off. If the fatalities of the sea that could be traced directly and indirectly to marine animals could be collected every year they would make not only interesting but startling reading. In the really Pacific waters of the western ocean we have but little idea of the dangers of the sea, but a stroll through the New England towns of Gloucester, Marblehead, Swampscott and others will phow them to have an extraordinary number of widows in proportion to the population. This is particularly true of Gloucester, where the widows and orphans of fishermen make a small army. The fishermen were all lost on the Grand Hink? or the Georges Ranks of the cod fisheries. They were either run down by ocean steamers that go over the banks at full speed, often hitting the vessels in the fog. or the frail schooners were destroyed in the terrific gales that sweep over th country. It may be of interest to glance at the yearly loss of men who lose their lives- in the effort to provide the country with salt cod. From 1830 to 1881, 2,249 were drowned from cod fishermen leaving 1.SO0 widows and between 4,000 and 5.000 orphans, not to speak of other persona dependent upon them. The loss in insurance during this time was about $1.500.000, and the number of vessels lost, 419 x remarkable showing for a single line of buainess. The loss of t.aese 2.000 or more men means a recital of Incidents that can not be equaled in the annals of heroism. The writer knows of one vessel that was lying at anchor with all hands below except the watch, that was struck down by a steamer. All were drowned except the man at the wheel, who drifted twenty-four hours before he was picked up. Another schooner was sailing in the fog when she was suddenly capsized by a steamer that rolled her completely over, the men dropping out of their hammocks to the ceiling and then to the fl oor as she quickly righted. The min at the wheel was lashed and was found half-drowned. Many men have been lost in the fog in their dories and nearly starved to death before they were found, while others are picked up by out-going steamers. The s-ene when the fishing fleet returns after great l.isses is described as heartrending. Then there is always the uncertainty, many men having been picked up and carried to foreign countries. The losses from the whaling fleets an not so great as formerly, but thirty years ago they were very noticeable, often amounting to several hundred men in a year. The vtssds are sometimes, crushed in the ice or a whale kills the men by demolishing the boat. A remarkable accident occurred some years ago, which, while in a fully equipped whale boat, was observed only by one man. The whale had been struck, and was sounding at a terrific rate of speed, when in some way a coil of rope caught ab'jut the foot of the harpooner, and in a second he was gone. The accident took place before the entire crew, but was so suddenly accomplished that but one man saw the disappearance. Many fatalities of the sea are laid to the sharks, but accidents from this source are comparatively rare. In a diligent search for authentic instances of large sharks devouring men, I found but two that could bo attested to. One was a man whose family I knew, and the instance is well known and remarkable for the ferocity displayed by the fish. In 1S74 I was fishing off the Isles of Shoals with a cod fisherman, who told me that when his father was a young man there was a large shark that infested the coast which had on sevral occasions attempted to tip Over boats and dine on the occupants, and once or twice the young man had been driven ashore by it. The date corresponded within n month with that of a tragedy which occurred about thirty miles .south, or at Lynn, and which was undoubtedly causd by the same fish. A well-known citizen of Lynn went out with a fishing party, and after a short time left the schooner, taking a small dory, which he anchored not a thousand feet from the vessel. Suddenly he was heard to shout, and thjse on the vessel distinctly saw a huge shark throw Itself over the dory and sink it, making off with the unfortunate man, whose cries for aid were of no avail. The other case was that of a sailor on the Mediterranean, who left the vessel to take a swim in the sea. A shark was seen swimming toward him by some of the crew, who started to iow out to meet the swimmer; but before they reached the spot the shark had seized him and cut him In two. The little shark or dog-fish of the New England coast has not a very savory reputation in these waters. I have seen them in such schools that It was impossible to throw a line over without their biting it. They appeared to be starving, and on one occasion bit a sail into shreds that was hanging overboard. The ravenous fl-h appear so suddenly that I recall one diy one could not be .seen In that portion of the coast, and the next day the fishermen all gave up their icgular filling and devoted themselves t i deg-fishing, bringing the fish in by the boat load. At fuch times it is extremely dangerous to fall overboard, and numerous fatalities point to the conclusion that these little sharks are a3 dangerous as a man-eater. On one occasion some children were playing jbut the deck of a schooner, when one fell overboard, and bv the time the crew reached the side the body wis surrounded by a living ball of dog-fishes and torn In pieces. A fisherman, having left his dory anchored in a cove during a run of these fish swam out to it and was caught by them and killed in sight of his friends on the beach, who could not aid him. So insignificant a thing as a shell would n t be believed to be a menace to human life, yet several shells have earned reputations a3 mantraps. Among these Is the great clam that i often seen about residences in the suburbs of San Francisco. This mollusk lies deeply buried in the coral rock and partly open the protruding :'!"ijjn r.r ! i'k ".1 c ner: u; when touched by the hand, fe?t or any object, toget; f-r onu s tV f hells, a h valve open weighing 200 pound., and the victim Is held and not released until the shell is cut ou. In this way natives have been imprisoned at low tide and drowned as the waters rose. The ordinary abalone, common on this coast, has often trapped Chinamen by catching their fingers, and several instances of death from this cause has been reported. On the New England coast, near Plymouth, a large clam known as the quohaug la sometimes exposed; and, while it does not catch human beings. It has been known to entrap small animals, especially duckF and various watpr birds, that are held either by foot or bill until the tide arises and they are drowned. In South American waters there i3 a little fish known as picana that has a veryunenviable reputation. It Is dreaded by man and beast, as what It lacks in size it makes up In numbers. Many of the rivers in the country where it is fm;nd have to be forded, and when a) horde enters a stream it is frequently attacked by these little creature. that seem to scent game from afar, and literally swarm about the animal, biting small bits of flesh from it. Instances are known where the natives have been devoured by them. In tropical waters the shark is by no moans the only predatory fish. Lurking on every reef and in the blue channels that cut their way p.mong the Islands is 1 the southern barracuda; something like its f pacific ally in appearance; but four or five times as large and vrry bulky, with teeth like knives. This fish is a menace, and his often been known to attack swimmers f.nd reports are current of Instances where people have been maimed and almost killed by them. San Francisco Call.

KET REPORT I CHICAGO. Dec. 22. The last session of th3 board previous to the Christmas adjournment passed without violent change in the previous prices of any important speculative commodity. Wheat gained ',4? and everything else lot a similar trifle as compared with yesterday's closing values. Further than the small fractional improvement, due to tome favorable figures regarding the week's movement cf the wheat crops of the world, today's short session in so far as the wheat market Is concerned, might have been thrown in with the other ChrLstmis holilays. Euyers refused for a long time to advance their bids. May opened at from "Sc to 58 58V&C There was an improvement to 5Sic at one time, but there were too many sellers at that to permit of much being disposed of. It closed at BSVc Corn was oppressed by heavy receipts f.r which there was no market except at still more liberal concessions in the price than were previously neeefsary. The day's receipts were 404 cars, and for Monday f00 cars are estimated. The East Ls getting supplies from Ohio, Tennessee and elsewhere to a sufficiently liberal extent to make them independent of Chicago in the meantime. The sales made earlier by Illinois shippers of corn to arrive on a basi3 of 40c to farmers. i3 now coming into the possession of tho purchasers and the latter have no use for it. Sample corn suffered a further decline of from lc to lVic per bushel. May corn opened at from 4Sc to 4Si;c, sold as high as 4$Vic and as low as 4"VmC, closing with buyer3 at 48c. Oata were quiet. The natural tendency, lasting over from the tone of the market during the last few days, was to decline, and partly in sympathy with corn, lower prices were scored. May sold from ZV.iz to 31c down to 31"c and closed at SlVv. The provision prices did not change much, but such alteration as there was went to the credit cf those who were short. The decline was 2',4c in each of three speculative articles. The leading futures ranged as follows: Wheat. No. 2- Open. High. Low.

The waiting attitude of tho trade, pending development with the incoming New a ear. Is raun tnun usual ai. mis season of the year. Owing to the unsettled condition of the commercial world In general and tho apathetic condition of the market makes it very difficult to trade in. "We don't look for much of any reaction till after the holidays: Nothing-but Indifferent cables may be expected the coming week, as foreign markets generally are expected ta be extremely dull. On passage wheat decreased 2,000,000 bushels, owing principally to lighter shipments, a3 our clearances aggregate 354.000 bushels, wheat and flour being 1,000,0(00 more than last week, showing the export Inquiry has been good. Somewhat lower prices, however, have followed the withdrawal of buyers and liquidation by holders who have become discouraged because the market doe.s no; respond to what little inducement has been received from the other side, and who are anxious to even up for the holidays, consequently the depression is but a natural one, holders of this character being in the majority. The only pressing factor, however. Is the heavy load thrust upon the market here by the outside markets, every bushel received being traded against as a hedge in this market, particularly by the northwest; hence the marked fallinsr off in primary receipts may be regarded as a favorable feature to the bulls. The large percentage of the receipts going to Minneapolis and Duluth were the stocks thl4 week are estimated to show but an Increase of 1,000.000 bushels, a very small one in view cf the light milling demand.

A novel Idea for a children's Christmu entertainment is a butterflies ball, writes Elisabeth Robinson Scovil in the December Ladies' Home Journal. This need not mean, late hours nor expensive dresses. The boys wear tipht-fittinp pults of blac'iC or dark brown, the gir'.s any pretty, fanciful dresses. The framework cf the wlns is deftly fashianed of wire and covered with paper or the cotton crepon that comes in such vivid eo'.ors; these are fpargled with gold or painted to represent the tintin of the butterfly's winprs. A light yok of wire is constructed to fit the shoulders, fastening under th? arms, and to this th wir.es are attached. The effect is very orillimt and graceful. Another pretty fancy la an archery fete. The children carry pmall bows dressed with flowers and sheafs of arrows In flower-bedecked qulv ers. Pleasinr n Hostess.
