The meaning of the term "clear ing house"' may not perhaps he familiar to all people outside of bank-1 ing and commercial circles. An incident which occurred during ouri civil war may give a clear though] homely idea of what a clearing) house is. The occasion was in 1S04, when the citizens of San Francisco gave the famous "Russian ball"' to the of- j ficers of the Russian licet of war-' ships in San Francisco's harbor,; which had been sent to the federal I government bv the emperor of Rus-1 sia to the assistance of the northern ] states in that war. That ball was the most brilliant affair of its kind that has ever taken j place in California. It was attended by the governor and all the state and municipal officers, the members of the supreme and superior courts, all the foreign consuls and the officers of the army and navy within reach of San Francisco, besides manv of the old and wealthy Span ish families from southern California, all handsomely dressed and resplendent in diamond ornaments. The large hall was splendidly decorated with Russian and American flags intwined. The flags of the foreign consuls and lines of cages of singing canary birds were hung around the gallery. A military band and a string band supplied the music. On the stage of the hall were stacks of arms and aecouterments of war. while the rich dresses of the ladies and the uniforms of the officers of the navv and army, together with the grand official re- j galia of the foreign consuls, made I it a scene of splendor and a wonder 1 and delight to the Russian sailors. After the supper, which was served in keeping with the rest of the ( ball, the Russian officers, the con?i ?j ?^miovfc of hon fc'UJB aim many vi u?v or retired, but "the dance went on." Soon afterward it was seen that the waiters in the hat room had become confused in their deliveries, and gentlemen, finding their hat checks useless, were obliged to go inside and search for themselves, which resulted in soon eovering the floor with articles of clothing, from which each man took that which fitted him best and went home. The following day a notice appeared in the newspapers inviting all persons who had lost their overcoats or hats and had taken others instead to return them to a place designated in the notice and receive their own. The result of this move was a success, for every man who had lost his own and had brought the article he had taken recovered that which belonged to him, the writer being one of them. This, " 1 f-yllfAwtyio'a "Hrwf TIll'Il, was v iiiiiui iiiu ^ ing house, though not a financia' one, in so far as the basic principle of the bankers' clearing house is concerned.?Los Angeles Times.
