A Golden Opportunity for the LadIesi
Kings Palace, Sl4 Seventh street IL. W.,
will inaugurate the great clearing sale on
account of rebuilding.
Owing to the great increase of our already
extensive business and the desire of adding
new lines, such as dry goods, notions,
ladies' and gentlemen's furnishing goods,
we have been compelled for want of more
space to lease the adjoining building now
occupied by the Fair, which we anticipate
occupying by January, or at the latest
February. To combine the two stores into
one requires extensive improvements and
to make room for the builder we are com
peeled TO close out our entire stock, con-
sisting of one of the most stylish and fash
ionable lines Of millinery, ladies', misses
and children's cloaks, corsets, kid gloves,
furs, ribbons, velvets, jerseys, and other
articles too numerous TO mention.
What is ones loss is another's gain. We
are willing to benefit our thousands of pa
irons at the very height of the season by
disposing of our entire stock at a sacrifice.
While they are in need OF goods, such a
chance has never been offered before, and
while we are willing to make the sacrifice,
we anticipate all in need OF desirable goods
to embrace this opp rtuDity. Now, bear in
mind, every dollars worth OF goods must
be sold before building.

PRESBYTERIAN UNION.
An Address on Mormonism by Rev. NJ
L. Lamb of Utah.

An Address Mormonism by Rev. NJ.
Il. Lamb of Utah.
A meeting of the Presby terrain Ministerial
U niou was held yesterday morning in Cal
vary Church. The Rev. j. B. Campbell,
who has been elected President for the en-
suing term, presided. A telegram was re-
ceived from DR.. w. a. Sample, whom he
succeeded, stating his in ability to attend.
Rev. NJ. f. Lamb, who has been engaged
in missionary work in Utah for number of
years, addressed the union on the subject
of "Mormonism." He said that Mormon
children are baptized at s years of age. A
boy may become Il deacon at u, may enter
the lesser or Aaronic priesthood at IS, and
at % may be made a priest after the order
of MelchiZedec, the expectation being thai
he will some time become god.
The MOrmonS hold. said the speaker,
that this world was created by Adam, and
peopled with his descendants, and that he
is the God by whom it is now governed.
So each Mormon, it is claimed, who reaches
the position Of a god, will have the power
to create a world somewhere in space,
which he will people and rule as Adam
does this one, the women whom ho has
made his wives here being there his queens.
Belief in this nonsense makes many of the
Mormon women content with their lives of
drudsery, they looking forward to the eter-
nifty of ease and enjoyment promised them
as ample compensation for ali their toll and
prvation here"
MI. Lamb further said that the great
nope for the future Of the Mormons is in
the children and young people. One of
their elders not long ago stated publicly
that fully third of their young men were
what he termed ''infidels," and at least an
other third are really dlsbelievers in Nor
monism. though they have not yet declared
themselves such. At the next meeting
The inappropriate Uses of Houses of
Worship" will be considered, the discussion
to be opened by Rev. j. NJ. Thompson.

THE NEW SEA-WALL.
Probable Cost of the Proposed
Western Extension.

At the meeting of the HarbOr Commits
sionerS to-day Chairman English will be at
his accustomed place and the board Will
listen to the report of Engineer Manson,
who will submit the plans and speeihca-
tions for the extension of Section Is OF the
sea-wall 1900 feet west of Powell street. TO
point about on a line with Taylor.
Engineer Manson says that the proposed
extension of the sea-wall will cost very
much less than similar sections turtner
around in the bay, the reason being that
much frmer bottom is found at North
Beach upou which to build. MIR. Manson
declined to say at what figure ne had eSti-
mated the cost, for the reason that his eStl-
mates on any particular work are never
made known until after the bids are all In.
\ comparison, however of the cost of
former sections will give some idea OF the
expected cost of the proposed one. Sec
tons and were quite costly, S235 and
$40 respectively per foot front having been
paid for them. These were the sections
in the construction OF which so much steal
ing is alleged to have been done, Section
), under another administration, cost Sl59
per foot front; Section 6, SIS, and Section
I, in the construction OF which there were
less difficulties than in the others, S129 per
foot front. IT. as the engineer says. the
proposed extension Will cost very much less
than the other sections. II would perhaps DE
safe to place the cost at about S125 per foot
front, and at this figure the 1000 feet Will
cost $4,000.
Another important matter that will come
up before the board to-day will be the let
ting of the contract for the building OF the
new car ferry slip at the foot Of Lombard
street. TINS slip will, when completed, be
the central point for the unloading OF
steamers and for the ferrylng OF freight to
and from this city. 1t wiz be built Of
wooden piles.
what will be done to protect these piles
from the rayages- Of the teredo?" was asked
of Engineer Manson.
q do not Know" he replied. THE best
thing is a coating OF copper sheeting, but
that is too expensive. There are many
patent preparations for coating piles, for all
OF which are claimed great things but l
nave no faith in any Of them. Perhaps,
after all, the cheapest way is to replace the
piles as fast as the insect destroys them.
In bright, clear water pile Will last year
or two, but in places where the sewers
empty into the water and defe IT, the te
redo does not work well and the piles last

BUCKLEY's GREAT WEALTH.
An Offer That Was Made by Him for n
Piece of Property.

An Offer That Was Made by Him for n
Piece of Property.
II may be agreeable to the workers of the
Democratic party who have toied for years
for the success OF Buckley. and who have
remained as poor as they were when they
first put on the harness, that the "OoSs" has
but recently made an offer of Sl25000 spot
cash for piece of property on Market
street. If any proof were needed of
this fact that Buckley has grown
rich, this would be sufficient, for
men who are not enormously wealthy
cannot be in position to make such offers.
But proof is not needed. Buckley friends
acknowledge that he has amassed large
fortune, and insist that political success in
the future is to him matter OF indifference.
Said one of them last night: why
should Buckley worry over the movement
which has been organized against him?
He is rich, and would prefer to retire ana
enjoy his money. Besides, he is a man who
enjoys luxury and does not care to be wor-
red by a crowd Of hungry otfice-Seekers.
He no longer needs to depend upon politics
and can now laugh at all attempts to over
throw his power"
In other words Buckley, now that he has
used the workers of the party to his own
advantage, is ready to throw them over
board in order to free himself OF them.
Still no one believes that Buckley will so
easily relinquish his hold on the party, but
that he is endeavoring 10 hold himself
aloof from his old associates, who have
grown distasteful to him, events show most
c0ncluSively.
That he viii be able to do this and still
retain his power is doubtful. and the NUT
terings that are already heard among those
who have aided him in the accumulation of
his ill-gotten wealth, he will find it hard to
quiet. The news of his latest offer will
not have a soothing effect ON the boys"

LOCAL POLITICS.
Markham's Strength Steadily On
the Increase.
a Nice Little Row Broken Out Among the
Los Angeles Democrats -Buckley's Great
Wealth-Club Meetings.

There is growing conviction among
the politicians that Colonel Markham will
be the Republican candidate for Governor,
and the more sanguine of his followers are
claiming that one ballot will be sufficient to
secure his nomination.
1t must be confessed that the claim is
worthy of consideration, and it certainly
looks as if two ballots would land him at the
head of the ticket. with votes to spare. The
drift of sentiment is ali in his direction, and
every day seems to add to his strength,
which is now more than double that of any
of his competitors. His followers, how
ever, have not allowed themselves TO grow
careless through oveT-confidence, but are
working with as much energy as if their
leader was in the rear ranks of the process
sion instead of at the front.
They are to be met with at every turn,
and the hotel corridors literally swarm with
them. No delegate to the State Conven-
ton whose preferences are at all in doubt
is allowed to escape. and they are losing no
opportunity to strengthen their cause.
While they are making no particular claims
beyond the counties that have pledged
their delegates they are making estimates,
and while none have been given to the pub
lie, it was learned yester day that their

Companion.
Eugene Hayes, aged about II, and resd-
ing at 1420h Broadway. and another boy
named Willie Bride, some time ago entered
into partnership to raise pigeons. The
birds were kept at young Brides house. a
disagreement occurred, and late yesterday
afternoon Hayes called on Bride and de-
manded his share of the pigeons. Bride
refused to share the birds and asked Hayes
if he wanted to fight for them, TO which an
affirmative answer was returned.
The boys adjourned to the street to settle
their difficulty. Bride was worsted in the
fight, during which Hayes claims that his
opponent drew penknife and stabbed him
three times, wounding him twice. The in-
jured boy instead Of returning home, went
to the Receiving Hospital, where DR.. Wolff
made an examination, and found that he
had been stabbed in the left shoulder and
in the left hip.
The cuts we're not deeper than half
ineh and the wounds are nearly superficial.
Hayes stated that after Bride used his pen
knife he became frightened and ran off.
The wounded boy also said that he would
ask his father to have Bride arrested. The
hospital officials thought that if Hayes
story is true it showed an early develop
ment of viciousness on the part of Bride.

\ Deserted Cottage in the Center of a
Block Destroyed.
An alarm Of fire was turned in at 12:15
o'clock from Box l.. As the bell sounded a
bright blaze shot up from the center of the
block bounded by kearny, Dupont, Cali
fornia and Sacramento streets, Illuminating
the neighborhood and giving every appear
ance OF large fire.
The engines were early on the scene, hav-
ing but a short DISTANCE to go. Several
lines of hose were quickly run in
through an alleyway, the fire having
been found to be in an old, deserted
cottage, right in the center of the block.
The building was situated some distance
from every OTHER structure in the block,
otherwise, owing to the difficulty Of access
and the combuStible character Of the sur
rounding houses, large fire would have
resulted.
As it was, the cottage was entirely de-
strOyed with its cuntenls-a quantity OF old
articles. The cottage belonged to the
Blumenberg estate, and WAS in the rear OF
6l2 California street. A similar shanty
stood on the site and was burned some
years ago. it was then used as n Chinese
laundry. Tie damage is not supposed to
exceed 500. There was considerable. eX-

NORTH BEACH LOTS.
Ex-senator Fair Negotiating for Large
Purchase.

Ex-senator relr NegOuatlDg Tor n Largo
Purchase.
1t was learned yesterday that ex-senator
James G. Fair is negotiating for the pur-
chase of about twenty blocks of water lots
at North Beach, the tract having been
secured some time ago at low figure by
syndicate called the North San Francisco
Land and Homestead Association.
AS soon as it was known that the Board
of Harbor Commissioners had decided to
extend the sea-wall from the foot Of Powell
street westward, the property rose enor-
mously in value. The waterfront lots in
the neighboThoOd of the wharyes command
high prices as sites for warehouses, and as
the sea-wall is extended the lots in the
vicinity, which were previously compare
lively worthless, command high prices.
A few days ago a syndicate formed by
Albert Miller, President of the San Fran
cisco Savings Union, offered the Land Com
pany $4,000 for tie property mentioned.
Senator Fair heard of the prospective deal
and made an offer of S230,000. His terms
were accepted and a deposit paid to bind
the contract, 1t is said that the ex-senator
is also negotiating for the purchase of ad-
ditional property in the neigh bOrhood.
