and as the conditions of life grow

Real Estate.

in a home of ones own at Gif-
fords- and in q fat
uptown is very great. In the
first, there is safety, economy
and profit. In the second, there
is constant expenditure, uncer-
tainty and loss.
Suppose two good lots at Gif-
fords- were obtain
able for, say $500, and that on
these a house costing $500
could be built, making in all
$500. The interest on this at
6 per cent. is s1Os per year,
which, with $50 q year for .
communication ticket, will make
up S16S per an um. This is
exactly $14 a mon Ii for a house
of ones own, with abundant
room for a good garden and
ample provisions for children,
such as play grounds, schools.
etc. To those who have money
in savings banks at 2 or 3 per
cent. the cost would be much
less.
The economy consists in saw
ing rent. The safety consists in
the investment in your own
home, than which nothing can
be safer. The profit is found in
the nearness of the land to New
York, tho scarcity of good land
near the city and in the i'm
provements which you and your
neighbor will make, 80 that year
by year your lots will double up
in value.
The sale of this beautiful
property takes place on Thurs
day afternoon, the 10Th inst, by
order of David Bennett King,
trustee for creditors Of Erastus
Wiman. The property adjoins
the station, is reached by thirty
one trains a day from the Bat
terry in forty-five minutes. The
double tracking of the railroad
now proposed will increase the
number of trains and diminish
tho time.
You cannot for the money buy
any other property SO desirable
in the nsighborhood Of New
York.
Passes good on or before tho
day of sale, with maps and full
particulars, including Erastus
Wiman's article on "Why I
Bought at Giffords," can be had
on application to David Bennett

A NEW YORK BRANCH.
Haas Brothers s. Co. Will Conduct a
Large Eastern Agency,

Haas Brothers & Co., the well-known
wholesale grocers of this city. are extend
ing their business by The establishment of
branch house in New York.
One of the largest concerns in the same
line of business in the latter city has been
the Thurber-Wny!and Company. Owing
to the stringency of the money market the
1irm has been forced into liquidation. The
company's debts are $500, 900, and its as
sets S1,200,000. 1t has been generally be-
lleved that with fresh capital the company
would be infused with new life sufficient
TO compete successfully with other firms
and at the same time pay all debts and
dividends TO stockholders.
William Haas, the managing partner of
the firm of Haas Brothers & Co., stated
yesterday afternoon that the arrangement
to take over the business of the Thurber-
Whyland Company had been made by his
cousin, kalman Haas, who has resided in
New York for the past fifteen years, al
though still retaining his pecuniary in
terest in the firm. Mr.. Haas stated that
the New York house woGld hereafter be
branch of the firm of Haas Brothers 81 Co.,
with resident manager. Kalman Haas
has made careful examination into the
methods and accounts of the company in
New York, and is confident that the busi-
ness will prove valuable investment of
portion of the firms surplus capital.

Burnett and his descendants. About 3 IN
the afternoon the Immediate mem bers of
the family began to assemble in the SIM
pie but elegant rooms of John M. Bur-
netts home. No attempts had been ma de
at decorations: no toilet display. The oc-
caSion was merely the assembling of q de-
voted family to wish its honOred and be-
loved head Godspeed on another year of
lIfe's journey.
Children. grandchildren and great
grandchildren were there. Prominent
among them were the ex-Governor's eldest
son, D. Burnett. with his wife and child
rem; John N. Burnett, with his wife and
children. also; Mrs. g. j. Ryand of San
Jose and Mrs. William Wallace, the ex-
Governors two daughters. Mrs. Wallace
was accompanied by Mrs. General Shee-
han. her eldest daughter, and by Miss Mar
guerlte Wallace. both of whom are well
known in San Francisco society.
On all hands congratulations and good
wishes were heard, while the first Gov
ernor OF California walked about among
the smiling throng, chatting now with this
descendant, now with that, all present con-
graduating themselves upon his hale and
hearty bearing. which gave them promise
of many more birthdays to come.
AT O'Clock the guests began to take
their leave, and before the last good wish
had been uttered and the last great grand
child taken its farewell kiss. "His life is
as regular now as it was in his younger
days" said one lady related to the family,
as she left the house, and she added en-
thusiastieally: Every one who knows
him loves him. and tries to see that the
systematic life he led years ago is not
interrupted now"
Peter Hardeman Burnett, who was born
In Nashville. Tenn, in 1907, came west
across the plains in 1872 He first settled
In Oregon. where in 1914 and 1S4S he was

where IN 1S49 he took a prominent part In
the formation of the State government.

A Reception of Truly Republican
Simplicity - Stately Matrons
and Fair MaidenS.

1t would be difficult to imagine a more
interesting reception than that rendered
yesterday afternoon to Peter Hardeman
Burnett, Ex-Governor of California, on the
occasion of his eighty-siXth birthday.
Some fifteen years have now passed
since the hale old gentleman, once one of
the most prominent figures in the politics
of this State, retired permanently from
public life. Since then he has lived quietly
at the home of his son, John NJ. Burnett,
on Larkin street. devoting his quiet. regu-
lar days to study and to religious exer-
cises. The even tenor of this existence has
only been broken when one or another of
his children or grandchildren, all of whom
idolze "the old Governor" have succeeded
In persuading the old gentleman to visit
their homes a few days or weeks.
There was republican simplicity and
lack of ostentation about yesterdays re-
ception which was thoroughly in keeping
with the character of Peter HardemaD
