AFTER THE BALL
California'? First Clearing House Was
Net a Financial One.
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,

ing house, though not a financia'
one, in so far as the basic principle
of the bankers' clearing house is
concerned.?Los Angeles Times.
