AFTER THE VACANCY.
Candidates Seeking the Police
Court Judgeship.

Half dozen lawyers are already laying wires
for their appointment as Judge OF Department 2
OF the Police Court to ell the vacancy caused by
the death Of Judge A. j. 7. Morley. The salary
of the office is $4,000 year, and that probably
accounts for the scramble TO OBTAIN IL.
Among those who are most anxious TO secure
the appointment are: Presiding Justice of the
Peace Charles A. Low, Justice of the Peace. j. A.
Campbell; w. A. 5. Nicholson, Prosecuting At
tOrney OF Police Court l. Alexander Campbell
Jr, eX-Assistaut District Attorney; A. .. Cotton,
Prosecuting Attorney of Police Court 2, and eX-
ASsemblYman A. I. Barnett.
One who claims 10 know said yesterday that
Justice Low had the best chance. while NlchOl-
sons tlends insist that he Is the only candidate
who staGGs any show Of securing the appoint
ment Mayor SaudersOn viii make the appoint
ment subject TO confirmation by the Board OF
Supervisors. There is some doubt, however, as
TO who has the appointing power If the Gov
ernOr claims the right and makes an appoint
ment it will lead prolonged litigation.
The remains OF the late Judge Morley will be
laid TO rest IN The Masonic Cemetery tomorrow.
The funel al will take place from Bethany Con-
gregatiOnal Church, Twenty fifth and Bartlett
streets, at 80 O'clock in the afternoon.

GOLDEN RULE BAZAAR.
The CredItSble Achievements Of a Band
of Young Men.

of Young Men.
In 1871 band Of young men started
in business without capital or friends,
and with an Insignificant knowledge Of
their undertaking. They opened a toy
store on kearny street, in limited quar-
tiers. Success at first seemed doubtful,
but they worked hard and perseveringIy,
gradually extending their business until
after five years work they moved to the
present location Of the Golden Rule
Bazaar, where they still remain. Their
names are the Davis Brothers, and they
are entitled to great credit for their
achievements. Out Of their business
they have amassed capital sufficient TO
carry on q business second to none Of
lis kind in this broad land.
We celebrate our twenty-first bust
ness anniversary this month, said one
OF the prOprleturs of the Golden Rule
Bazaar yesterday.
Tue volume of our business during
1891 has been fully as large as in any
preceding year, although 1t hasnOt been
thoroughly satisfactory year. Compe-
tition has been rifle and so profits have
been contracted. There has been undue
competition. fur the aggregate Of bust
ness In our line has not increased while
there have been more houses to share it.
Tile holiday trade has been fully up
to the standard. 1t was necessary to
employ a larger force Of assistants than
during any preceding holiday season,
and we had 543 names on our pay
roll during December. We believe
In the policy OF giving employment to
as many men as possible and so out of
that number only about forty were
young women. Our regular staff num-
bers ll0. of whom there are but nine
girls.
There has been an immense demand
for oil paintings and pictures at medium
and low prices. The grade of purchases
during the holidays has been perceptibly
lower than in former years. That is
simply the outgrowth of real estate in
veStments and membership in building
and loan associations. People are as
well off as formerly, but they have I'M
dertaken greater obligations aud so have
less ready money.
The greatest demand has been for
toys, our largest department. Next in
volume Of sales come relatively per-
fumes, bric-a-brac, bisqueware, plated
ware, books and stationery, jewelry
and watches. During the past year we
have added a complete Bid-gloYe de-
paTtment. which has done very well,
and the book and stationery department
Is one of the best paying in the house
:" We all live in the future. 1t would
not be Californian to say that the outlook
for 1892 Is poor. We expect to do well
and have every reason to expect the
business to make It's usual adyafce dur
ing the ensuing twelve months With
our two new departments We are salts
fed that we will make good showing"

season at the Golden Rule Bazaar was

Henry Ulfelder & Co., the proprietOrs
of the Globe Clothing House ut 238
Kearny street
The store, which Is comfortable and
inviting, was opened in September, 1890.
A large stock of the finest grade of
ready-made clothing was procured and,
by pluck, ability and conscientious
treatment of their customers, with con-
siderable judicous advertising. the pro-
prietors have scored signal success.
They began with modest expectations,
but customers have f10cked around them,
and a man who purchased a suit Of
clothes in October usually returned in
November for an 0veTcOat.
With the new year, the house enters
upon slightly different management,
and with the altered ARRANGEMENTS the
firm is confident that patrons Will be

DEsCALSo & FRANK.
A Prosperous Firm, Composed of Three
Shrewd Young Men.

A Prosperous Firm, Composed of Three
shrewd Young Men.
Three years ago Luke \. Descalso and
S. M. Frank. having had ten years
experience in the sale of boots and shoes,
opened an elegantly furnished. thor
oughly equipped ana well-lighted store
at IS kearny street.
Ine firm secured large and attrac-
tive stock of the best goods to be OBJ
tanned in tie Eastern markets, and
have since made a specially of the
James Means shoe for men and the
manufactured shoes and slippers of
Laird, Schober & Mitchell for ladies,
misses and children.
The friends of these bright young
business men told them that kearny
street was pre-eminently a ladies'
thoroughfarP, and deprecated their To-
cation as injurious to their trade with
the other sex. At the close of three
years business the proprietors of the
establishment consider that their vol
ume Of trade has abundantiy vindicated
their sngaciOuS judgment. The second
years business was double that Of the
first and the third vice as great as the
second.
I'VE have had a booming success"
said Mr.. p. &. DescasO, who entered
the firm this fall, land it has been nip
and tuck between the aggregates Of sales
in the mems and wOmen's departments
respectively. We attribute our pros
perity to two things. In the first place,
we believe that we carry the right line
of shoes, we'll fitting, serviceable and
staple goods; aud secondly, we think
we have been judiciOus in the large
quantity and superior quality of our adj
VertisementS. In my opinion these two
things will make any business win.
:" In common with all the leading
Shoe-houses in every part of the country,
we carry large stocks in extra widths
from triple A to triple L, and so any
foot except that Of cripple can be
easily fitted. Custom shoe making is
practically thing of the past, because
1t is almost entirely unnecessary to take
measures.
"Our holiday trade has been astonish-
ingly good. The store has been crowded
continually with purchasers, and a
gratifying sign of the times is that no
credit is being asked. | think it is an
interesting fact also that there is such
growing demand for a superior line Of
goods, which are sold more readily than
the cheaper classes which were asked
for almost exclusively eight or ten years
ago. The outlook for 1892 in boot and
shoe circles generally, and especially as
regards our own business, was never
brighter. We anticipate even larger
measure of success than we have been
favored with during the three prosper
GUS years of the firms existence

Successful Operators for Over Quarter
of Century.
The unblemished reputation for honor
and integrity enjoyed by the well-known
house of O'Connor. MOffatt ~ Co. has
been acquired by the fair aud upright
business dealings which have marked
the UNMARRIED course of a quarter Of
century's successful operations in San
FranciSco's dry-go0ds circles.
The proprietJrS are among the largest
importers and dealers In dry and fancy
goods in the country. and an excellent
and thorough stock in these lines Is car
rled IN the spacious StOre-rOomS at ILL
12l Post street. Shoppers have wide
range of choice at this magnificent eS-
Enlistment in all Of the following de-
partments Furnishings Of all kinds.
portieres of rich and elegant colOring
and design, tapestry table covers, bOas,
ribbons. gloves, trimmings, hosiery,
laceS, corSets, underwear and Overgar-
ments of all kinds, silks and dress goods.
The firm has made no special effort to
secure holiday trade, having offered no
Christmas specialtleS Tor sale. Their
holiday sales, however, have been graft
fyingly large, and even the proprietors
were surprised at the thousands of peo-
pie who purchased staple dry goods Tor
Christmas gifts. The volume OF busl-
ness throughout the entire year has been
highly satisfactory.
The long term of years during which
the firm has been before the public do
not seem TO have exhausted the new
avenues of custom. Additional c0nnec-
tions and increasing patronage are as
regular with 0CUnnOr, Motfatt " Co.
as the opening and closing of the stores.
Special attention is paid to the mail or
der department, and parcels are delivered
free In Oakland. Alameda, Berkeley.

CITY OF PARIS.
The oldest Dry Goods Establishment In
San Francisco.

The oldest Dry Goods Establishment In
San Francisco.
The oldest dry goods establishment in
San Francisco is the City OF Paris, stu
ated on the southeast corner Of Geary
and Dupont streets. The prOprietorS are
G. VeTdier Il Co., and similar handsome
and well.appointed stores are main
tained in Paris and New York.
During the past month n casual OBJ
server, noting the hundreds Of ladies
surrounding the attractive and richly
laden counters, would utterly fail TO dis
cover at the City Of Paris any indication
of the hard times of which so many
merchants complain.
Even these numbers have been in
creased during the last few days of the
holiday season, attracted doubtless by
the splendid bargains to be obtained at
the clearance sale, which still continues,
conducted this season on a scale OF un-
usual magnitude, and giving ladies a
rare opportunity to save money
Every market known to commerce has
contributed its quota of rare and heau-
tiful fabrics to the City of Paris Rich
silks, dress goods, laces, hosiery, under
wear curtains and house-fuTnishing
goods 10 Infinite varieties Of color and
pattern can be purchased at prices
which seem astonishing.
An innovation has been introduced
by this widr-awake firm which has adj
ded 10 their ever growing popularity.
The new feature is the giving OF 10 per
cent additional on each OF the following
staples: Gloves. hosiery, underwear,
lingerie. cOrSets and skirts.
One secret of the success Of the City
of Paris has lain in the extensive
knowledge possessed by the propretOrs
regarding the latest devices in the styles
OF the Eastern and European cities. BY
the exercise of good Judgment, prudence
and the taste Of a cOnnOisSeuT in the Sc
lection OF goods the house has been able
10 offer its customers the highest grade
of merchandise ut the most reasonable
prices.
The popularity Of the store has been
greatly increased by the wise policy Of
the pToprietors in making friends with
their visitors. Every lady entering the
establishment i made to feel thoroughly
at her ease With no lack Of attention,
but with quiet and courteous consldera-
ton the contents OF every partment
are exhibited at her wish. but she is
never harass Led with opportunities to
purchase. When lady, be she rich or
poor, leaves the store without expanding
a nickel, she is attended with the same
gentlemaniy department as though her
order had been given for costly fabric.
