on Ciealxs.
We announce with pleasure that oul
grand opening of fall and winter styles in
our cloak department will be held or
Wednesday. Sept. 25th, and continue
through the week We extend a cordial
invitation to the ladies of the three cities
to visit us and see our display of new and
beautiful styles, most of them being tota
novelties in this locality.
Our department proper contains the
richest, most elegant and varied assort'
nent of cloth and plush garments ever
shown by us, and this means the grand
est display that has yet taken place in
this section. We show an unequalled
stock of light and heavy cloth jackets in
all the new effects of color and style.
Our designs in the way of newmarkets
are most beautiful and delight to the
eye. We show the directoire in many
different ideas. We have the shawl-collar
newmarket in plain, embroidered designs,
we have all the Persian novelties in a
variety of dressy and serviceable gar
dreds of styles in all varieties and grades
of cloths and consider this sub. depart
ment worthy of an extra inspection.
Our plush garments are more elegant
than ever and are strictly reliable for
wear. We take pride in saying that we
have procured-after much labor in East>
ern markets-the best wearing plush
manufactured. 1t is a we'll known fact
that after nearly twenty years of service
in giving honest values to our patrons,
we have acquired reputation second to
none. and we do not propose to let it
vanish now. We think our reputation is
our proadest possession, and having
this in mind throughout all our
purchases, we determined to buy good
goods and have received them at prices
that will obtain for us the patronage that
our stock justly merits.
In all our score of years of experience
In catering for the cloak trade of the
three cities and surrounding country, we
have never known prices so low or near
ly so low as they are this year. 1t is
quantity that we count on. We are con-
tent with the least possible living profit
on our goods, but we propose to sell
many times the quantity that we sold in
former years. We bought in quantities
never before has our stock been half so
large. This fact alone reduces prices
most wonderfully, and by snceasing eff
fort toward the main object we propose
to do more than we have ever done be-
fore-tne cloak trade of the surrounding
country. Call and see us. We extend
You hearty invitation to our open
ing Sept 25, to % inclusive. We will
show you our children's department, re>
plete with all novelties and durable gar
ments. The little ones are provided for
better than ever.
And while you are here, take look at
our well-selected stock of ladies fancy
and furnishing goods, hosiery underwear.

scribed in the ARGUS at the time the
plans were accepted. a republication of
the same on this suspicious occasion will
be read with interest. The new church
will be stately and magnificent struc>
ture to be erected on the site of the old
building at the corner of Fifth avenue

which will cost in the neighborhood
of $4,000 will be 105 feet on Fifth
avenue and 95 feet on Nineteenth
street. The two fronts will be stone laid
up "broken ashlar" with cut stone trim
mings. The auditorium has three en-
trances-one is in the tower which faces
Fifth avenue. about the center of the
building; another on the Nineteenth
street side, near the rear. The two en-.
frances from Nineteenth street will also
lead to the balcony which extends around

THE REVENUE MARINE AND NAVY.
A memorial was presented on the subject of
the consolidation of the United States Revenue
Marine with the United States Navy" which
was as follows:
Gtiues in Congress assembled: The Chamber of
Commerce of San Francisco respectfully calls
your attention to the advisability of a ConsOli-
dation of the United States Revenue Marine
with the United States Navy, as recommended
by the honorable Secretary of the Navy. The
advantages accruing from this union of two
Government services, both nautical and both
military are so evident that your memorialist
is confident that it VIII meet y ith your ap-
progal. 1t is, in fact, one of the methods of in
creasing the naval forces of the republic with
out increased expense securing 10 the United
seryiceable cruisers, suitable fol naval opera
tions during war and useful in time of peace;
also increasing the personnel of the navy and
afiording il a constant school for practical sea-
manship. Under this consolidation the cruis-
ers hereafter built for coast guard duty will be
equally well adapted to the naval service and
will form q valuable adjunct thereto. The
economy and practicability of the suggested
consolidation is so evident that your memorial
ist confidently pTays its adoption, With high
respect, we subscribe ourselves your fellow
citizens,
