Owing to the success of Wagner night
on Friday evening, Director Of Music
Casassa at the Mechanics Institute Fair
has set aside Wednesday as "Meyerbeer
night" ard Friday as "Donizetti and
Verdi night" The rendering of Meyer
beers music Is also in commemOration OF
his one hundredth anniversary. The
crowds at the Pavilion continue both day
and evenings, and last night was not an ex-
ception, Notwithstanding the weather.
OF the many attractive and beautiful ex-
hibits at the fair there are none which have
been more favorably commented upon and
drawn the attention of both ladies and gen.
tlemen than the display Of stoves, ranges
and lamps exhibited by John F. Myers q
Co. of S63 Market street. This large and
enterprising firm are to be congratulated on
the novel and artistic manner IN which they
have arranged their booth. 1t represents
the interior of a house, with unique chin
neys, mantels and CRATES, and was con-
structed in this manner in order to repre-
sent the name Household Range. Rich or
poor we must eat, and in order the better TO
promote peace and happiness in the home
the greatest attention has to be paid to the
ant Of cooking. 1t is impossible to attain
this end unless the means are at hand, and
most necessary article in every well-regu-
lated house is range OF the newest and
most improved type.
From the comments Of the ladies' who
have used and seen the New Household
Range exhibited and handled by this hrm,
you would come to the conclusion that 1t
possesses such manifest advantages over all
others that it is the only one worth pur-
chasing
why" remarked lady passing the
booth, in the saving of either food or fuel
alone the Household Range will pay for it.
self in few months, in addition to being
the pink of cleanliness and rendering food
cooked upon it more dtgestible and tooth
some"
If every housewife in San Francisco could
only compare the many good points OF the
Household over all others, it would be a
revelation to many that are now worried
and kept in ferment all the time. wonder
ing whether the cooking will turn out right
1t is especially adapted for those having
their own cooking to do, and cannot be ex-
celed in durability, economy or efficiency.
An examination of this range will at once
prove its points Of superiority over. all
others. The oven" remarked lady to a
CALL representative, sis marvel. aud the
self-bastlng apparatus and means of ventl-
latiOn with which 1t is furnished are alone
worth hundred times the price OF the
range" just think" said an elderly lady,
who doubtless had the old style oil ranges
before her eye, 'of not being obliged to
turn your meats In the oven to baste them,
or when your oven door is opened not filling
your kitchen with VapOrs and the odors Of
cooking, as the oven ventilatGrs carry them
all into the chimney"
1t is SO designed that wash-boiler aud
other vessels can be placed directly over the
fire at the same time and is fitted with a
double cover to the oven, the upper one
being claSped in, not bolted, thus allowing
it to contract and expand without cracking.
The draft-check in the pipe-collar is capi-
tai idea, and you can see at glance what a
saving in fuel it must effect as well as regu-
lating and utilizing the heat to the best ad-
vantage. the tire-boX is of medium size
and great ecunomiZer of coal and wood.
The duplex triangular dump-grate, which
is arranged so that no fre-asnes work out
when operated, is the only Ierfect CRATE
made and works like a charm. The ash
hearth is model Of cleanliness aud con-
venieuce, the whole, including the end door,
being guaranteed duSt-tight.
Go and see this grand range, which may
have imitators but no equals, and you will
remark, as hundreds of others have done,
''the New Household is worth its weight in
gold"
The elegant wood mantels with which this
unique booth is furnished are supplied by
