What you’re looking at

This page contains satirical content about San Francisco society and politics: **"Frisco Celebrities: As All-Round Sport"** (left) mocks an unnamed gentleman enjoying fine dining and wine—likely a wealthy social figure portrayed as self-indulgent. **"No Traitor"** (right) depicts a conversation where "Raggles" refuses a job offer at the "Midwinter Fair," claiming loyalty to the Workingman's Party despite having previously deserted it. The satire targets political opportunism and inconsistent allegiances. **"Unaccountable"** (bottom right) is a brief humorous sketch about marriage and divorce proceedings. **"J.C. Quinn's Quietus"** (main article) covers a legal dispute involving The Wasp Company's stock—a detailed corporate scandal where stockholders, including Judge Garber, pursued litigation over alleged fraudulent stock manipulation by company officers. The page combines social mockery with genuine San Francisco business news.
