Z" LITTLE PETE"
In Court Once More Undergoing His
Third Trial.

In Court Once More undergoing his
Third Trial.
The third trial of Fong Ching, better
known as Little Pete" was commenced in
Judge Van Reynegom's court yesterday aft
ernoon. Before the court closed nine jurors
had been secured and the case was con-
tinued until Monday. A special venire for
more jurors was issued, returnable at that
time.
Little Pete" is perhaps the "smoothest
article of Chinese extraction that was ever
known In this country. The otfense charged
against him is attempting 10 brlbe juror IN
the famous Lee Chuck murder case. His
first trial began in January, 1887, aud not
until May did the case go to the jury, and
only then to result in disagreement.
On his second trial, however, he was less
fortunate. The trial commenced on August
10Th following and in just one week con-
vIctlOn was secured
The conviction did not seem to have the
slightest effect on his nerve and even while
waiting to be sentenced he openly boosted
that he would not go TO the peniteDtiarv.
The Judge sentenced him to five years in
Folsom, but an appeal was taken to the Su-
preme Court, pending which he was re-
leased on bail. The Judgment was reversed
in the early part of January, 1889, and now
he is in court for Q new trial.
Although Chinese, through and through,
he is unquestionably away above the aver
age Chinese in shrewdness and intelligence.
He speaks English almost as well as a
native son, reads the daily papers regularly
and the characteristic stolidity of his race
is not found in his physOgnomy.

NEW ENGINE-HOUSE.


North Beachitts Ask for Better Fire
Protection.
Charles WilmOtt, representing the Nortn
Beach Improvement Club, appeared before
the Health and Police Committee of the
Board of Supervisors yesterday morning,
and protested against the further use OF the
old building on the corner of Francisco and
Stockton streets as an inirmary or hospital,
He argued that it was originally intended
as an engine-house for the Fire Department,
and insisted that it be put to that use.
Applications had been received by the
board from various parties desiring lease
OF the premises :. Polack, in behalf of
the Hebrew Home fer Aged and Bind, had
applied for the place; also Mrs. James E.
Clark and Mrs. Colby representing the
order Of the Kings Daughters, who wanted
to use IL as an iltrmaTy IoT incurable peo-
ple.
Supervisor Barry said that DIR. Voor-
sanger was opposed to letting the society
represented by Folack have it.
The committee finally decided that it had
no power 70 lease the property; that under
z law passed in lS7I-T3 the lot was dedi-
Gated for a CORPORATION yard, and as it can
and should BE- used for an engine-house the
applications for a lease viii be denied.
Tie attention of the Fire Department
Committee viii be called to the property,
and. after consultation with the Board of
Fire Commissioners, it Will suggest such
action as is thought necessary about the use
OF The lot.

to assist in carrying out movement destined 10
benefit humanity. The BARRIERS OF this city have
come to an understanding ana claim their shops
should be kept open for business only thirteen
hours on week days 0rom in The morning Till
in the evening", except Saturdays aud the even

This movement has nothing TO do concerning
prices, for we hold that prices will regulate
themselves; the question is simply for shorter
hours. There are between 1000 and 5000 men
engaged at this trade. one-thrd OF whom are
married. These men have at present only the
Sunday afternoons left 10 form the acquaintance
OF their children, who as rule are asleep wnen
their fathers come from work and awake when
they leave home for tssr daily occupation.

GRAND OPENING.
The Hub" Surprises the San
Francisco Public.

"The Hub means the center. The center
means the point of concentration-the nucleus
around which things are gathered. Therefore,
when the term The Hub is applied to a
cothing-store, it stands to reason that it is the
great point of concentration for the sale of
cothing-the nucleus around which the great
public gathers in order to purchase fitting cos
tunes and clothing
"lhe Hub" therefore, is the name given
by Charles Keilus & Co. to their magnificent
store on kearny street. corner OF Suffer.
1t is one of their branches of their main house,

When the firm commenced business in this

growing demand they have been compelled to
enlarge their store facilities, and III so doing
they have expended $4,000 in Improvements.
a window front has been put IN which has no
equal in size outside of New York. Mirrors
are everywhere The iron columns have been
cased with mirrored panels and the doors
opening into the show-wndows are similarly
paneled. The room is brilliantly lighted by
electricity, and yesterday, the opening day,
the floral decorations were profuse. Thirty
thousand souvenirs were given away during
the afternoon and evening, and so dense was
the throng that the police could scarcely
preserve order. During the whole time Pro
lessor Blum'S orchestra discoursed sweet
music.
The firm attributes its success in business to
the fact that it has adopted the following plan;
Keeping the right kind OF goods, honest and
upright dealing and judicious advertising.
Their motto is: :" 1t is no trouble TO show
