Furnishing Goods!

There's more activity in Furnishings"
than in any other department. Some new
move every day. If it isn't neckwear it's
underwear, and if it isn't underwear it's
shirts or something else that hobs up with
a short price and big misunderstanding
power from day to day. No matter when
you drop in you'll find a stir in some line,
and it's pretty sure to be something you
want or that the Low Price will tempt you
into buying whether you want it or not.
This unfailng succession of lOw-price
"events" is what has turned the furnishing
tide in our direction, and we shall keep it
up as long as the goods and the department
lasts. Watch our sbow-windows and you'll
catch glimpse of what is going on and it'll
be sure to interest you.
One special sale succeeds another in the
shirt waist department. There is always
something going on TO interest economical
buyers. Never slow in this department. If
we come out even we're satisfied. We're
determined to keep the shirt-wast trade
of this town looking in our direction; look
ing for low prices. Always expect saving.
we'll never disappoint you.

every school district in the State His high
ideals, his enthusiasm, his wise counses,
his copiOus and accurate information, as
shown in innumerable lectures, essays, adj
dresses, newspaper and magazine articles
and personal conferences, made deep i'm
preston for good upon almost every ldrt of
the commonwealth. On the expiration of
his term he was re- elected for four years.
Afterward he was third time candidate,
and was defeated although running ahead
OF his ticket some 2600 votes.
His work as State Superintendent gave
him national reputation. Probably no
California educator stands higher in the
estimation of intelligent and thoughtful men
ing of eminent teachers in America, he
would receive conspicuous honor. He is
known as the man who drafted what is
substantially the present California school
law, the provisions of which have been
adopted in many other States. Under his
guidance State certificates were issued,
teaching was recognized as profession, the
odious rate-bill was abolished, teachers
were made to feel the essential Importance
and dignity of their work when rightly per-
formed, and the wearying and worrying an
nual examinations OF teachers of proved
ability were abolished. He started and
edited the first educational journal on this
Coast. and was mainly instrumental in or
gahizng the first teachers associations.
After his official terms as State Superin-
the Denman Grammar School. He then be-
came Deputy City Superintendent. II this
position he labored successfully to establish
free evening schools. In 1876 he began his
career as principal of the large high school
for girls, one of San Franciscos n0blest in
stitutions In this school he originated and
fostered the invaluable Normal Department
For thirteen years, till his resignation, he
filed this position OF principal with rare
fidelity, ability and success. To many hun
dreds Of the graduates of this school his name
is very DEAR for probably no man in Califor-
MIA has done more to train and inspire thou
sands of young ladies' to lives Of usefulness
and honor. His COED influence is still felt in
that great school and will not soon die out.
1t is fortunate for the cause Of education
that Mr.. SWEET has put some of his best
thoughts into permanent form. His text
books are full of common sense and noted
for their concise and attractive style. His
Methods of Teaching" has had an extra
ordinary circulation, and is used in nearly
every important normal school in America,
England and Australia. His School Flo
cution, Examination Questions Nor
NAL Word Book" History of the Public
School System in California" ETC.. are
familiar as household words among many of
the most DISTINGUISHED teachers.

EXPLODING METAL.
Twenty Men Struck Down and Many of
Them Badly Hurt.

A terrible explosion occurred at the Otis
Steel Works, on the lake shore, recently, in
which three men were badly injured, while
a dozen or fifteen more were bruised and
burned. The accident occurred in the
Bessemer steel department of the large
establishment. A leak in the Bessemer con-
verter allowed a small quantity of molten
metal to escape Tits caused a slight ex-
plOsion which served as a warning to the
two hundred workmen employed in the
shop. They ran for their lives, but all had
not reached place of safety when a second
and much heavier explosion occurred
TIE terrible report was accompanied
by flying debris and molten metal.
The roof of the Bessener shop was
blown off, and the slate and iron composing
it were thrown i'll every direction with ter
rifle force Twenty or more men were
struck by the flying missiles and all of them
were more or less injured. The c0mbuStible
material of tie building was ignited and
alarms of fire were turned in. Fire Engines

A number of workmen were visited by

who is converter-hand, said: "At the
time of the accident there were about 1900
POUNDS of metal in the converter. and d.
rectly under it was the pit, in which there
was some water. A new bottom had but
recently been placed in the converter and
the fire-clay, it is thought, was not fully dry.
In turning over the converter some of the
molten metal escaped through small crew
ice and caused the first explosion. The va
Dor and heavy atmosphere made it almost
impossible to distinguish anything, and
in the panic that followed the first
explosion tile converter was turned the
wrong way, allowing the major portion
of the metal to fall into the water, causing Il

JOHN SWEET.
A Sketch of One of San Fran.

The following is sketch of John SWEET,
ore of the earliest teachers of the public
schools of this city, and the candidate OF the
Republican party and of the Reform Demo-
Gratis for the Office of City Superintendent
of Public Schools.
When Mr.. SWEET was notified by Dr.
Cleveland that he had been by unanimous
vote selected as the candidate of the Re
form Democrats, he wrote a letter of ac-
ceptance, as follows:
DR.. c. d. Cleveldnd-DEAR SIR: hasten to

San Francisco, Oct. IS, 1890.
Mr.. Swett though now more than 80 years
of age, still combines the ardor Of youth
with the strength of middle age. He has
the wisdom that comes from thirty-fiye
years of educational experience. He knows
the schools of the city and of California us
probably no other man can know them; fo-
he has been identified with them, with
brief periods of exception, ever since bis
arrival on the Coast, in the ''1ifties." The
school system of the Pacific Coast has grown
up from infancy under his observation, and
his skillful plastic hand has been felt at
every step of its progress. A glance at
few facts will convince any reader that Mr..
SWEET may be truly called the father Of the
graded school system in San Francisco and
California.
After nearly ten years of successful teach
ing and organizing, during which he enjoyed
the warm friendship and confidence OF
Thomas Starr King ard others hardly less
eminent as friends of education, he was
elected State Superintendent of Public In
struction. In this capacity he visited almost
