A SHOPPERS MECCA.
Whore Thousands of Ladies' Are Secul

Who're Thousands of Ladies Are Secur-
ing Christmas Gifts.
The Mecca of San Francisco shoppers
toward which all faces are being turned
during these holiday weeks is located at the
junction Of Fifth and Market streets, where
it has been established since 1862.
Kennedy's dry-goods establishment, with
its twenty-three distinct departments. Is an
institution peculiar TO this city, and is thor
oughly local. without being in the slightest
degree provincial. The reputation of Ken
nedy's is not confined TO San Francisco, but
has extended to every city and town on the
Coast, from which orders for holiday goods
have poured in for weeks.
The proprietor, Mr.. c. P. Kennedy. in
selecting his importations mas always been
influenced by double consideration. He
secures first, goods Of the finest quality. but
also OF such character that, being useful,
they possess in addition such beauty as to
suggest at once their desirabiiity as Christ
mas gifts.
Each department is filed with novelties
At the silk counter are immense piles of
costly fabrics selected from the choicest
stocks OF India, China and Japan. Ladies
crowd this corner throughout the entire
day, and many beautiful designs for even
Ing and dinner dresses IN surah and India
silks are continually changing ownership. I.
CloakS have always been speciality at
Kennedy's, and the stock this fall is the
finest the house has impOrted: The same
criticism applies to the furnishing depart
ments where mep's scarfs, gloves, ties, hats
and miscellaneous garments are displayed
in bewlderiug lines.
During this week especially rare bargains
are being offered in handkerchiefs, laces,
trimmings, gimrs, hosiery. linen and chill
dren's garments The establishment has
always excelled in house furnishings, and
the collection of linens embraces the most
beautiful products of Ireland's looms. The
large and important connections of this
house, its large and continuous patronage
and its advantageous purchases, enable its
patrons 10 secure the finest grades of all
fabrics at prices which are undeniably bar

Firms Defrauded

A warrant for the arrest of James w.
Evans was issued yesterday on a complaint
for obtaining money under false pretenses,
and notice of the same telegraphed by Chief
Crowley to Visalia. Evans was until a
short time ago employed by the Arctic Oil
Company as a drummer. and, judging from
his actions and past record, he is as smooth
as the commodity he sold.
On the 9th of October he returned from
trip and told atae of woe about his having
been robbed of S22S during his absence.
The firm did not, however, place much con-
1idence in the yarn, and susi ected that he
had either lost the money gambling or else
had simply appropriated it, and he was then
told that he would have to make good the
amount.
