THE MILL IS SHUT DOWN LAYING THE CORNERSTONE
QUEER RESULT OF THE RECENT BIG
PURCHASE BY THE SPERRY
FLOUR TRUST.
THE OLD HANDS OF THE GOLDEN
GATE MILL DISCHARGED AT
SHORT NOTICE.

The. Union mill at Stockton, the last ac-
qulsition of the Sperry -four trust, has
been closed down for nearly week, all
hands having been discharged, the belts
thrown off the wheels, and the machinery
put out of gear. The closing of the mill
will be big surprise in commercial circles.
for the wheels of the rivals of the trust are
revolving day and night One of the
managing directors of the combine was
interviewed last evening as to the cause of
the closing down, but, after first denying
that such was the case, he maintained a
discreet silence as to the reason.
The Union mill was bought from the
Farmers Union and Milling Company in
= last April, the purchase price being $780,
000 Only portion of this was paid in
cash, the balance being in notes secured
by mortgage on the building. The mill
had a capacity of 1900 barrels day, and
this was increased by 100 barrels two
weeks ago. This fact makes the shutting
down of the elevators more of mystery
than ever. Mr.. Hogg, one of the managing
directors of the trust, said last evening that
the closing was only temporary, but could
not say when the wheels would turn
again.
Despite Mr.. Hogg's assurance, men who
went from this city to work in the mill
last August have returned, and they are in
no amlable frame of mind. Shortly after
the Stockton mill was absorbed by the
trust 1T was announced that the Golden
Gate Mill OF this city was to be closed and
torn down. Fourteen men from the local
establishment were transferred to Stock
ton, with the assurance of steady emplov-
ment by the trust. The first thing done by
the flour combine was to reduce wages, but
the men had to stand the cut.
OF the fourteen who went to Stockton
only two are now on the payroll. One is
Frank Locke, the head miller, and the
other is William Wallack, Waterman.
The latter had his hand torn off while at
work, and this is perhaps the reason he
has been retained Since Saturday eleven
men have returned to the city. Of this
number eight are men of family, who
moved their belongings to the slough city,
and who were scarcely settled when they

had the lead at the start, but was soon
passed by Byrne, who won a good finish,
with Languetin second. Time, 2:24 3-5.
The final dash was the one interesting
event of the evening. The starters were !:
Howe, Languetin and Byrne. In this
order they remained until the second last
lap, when Byrne, who was riding like a
demon, passed Howe and then raced for
Languetin, whom he caught twenty yards
from the finish, and beat him out amid
great cheering. Time, 2:25. This ended
the racing of the evening.
The extensions made on the banks of the
Pavilion track have had the effect of
making it much safer to ride upon, and as
q result only one fall occurred during the
night, and that by rider unfamiliar with
the track.

Olympic Club Wheelmen,i is now connected

A SAFE TRACK
AND GOOD SPORT,
AN IMPROVEMENT IN THE PAVILION
COURSE MADE FAST RIDING
POPULAR.
A GOOD FINISH BY BYRNE.
F1RsT-CLAss RIDERS WHO WILL
MEET IN A HANDICAP THIS
EVENING.

There was noticeable improvement in
the attendance at the bicycle tournament
last night. The spectators looked for
good racing, owing to the fact that the
sharp curves at the east and west ends of
the track had been altered so that safe
riding was assured. In this particular the
people judged right, as there was only one
upset during the evening and that was
caused by the neglect of contestant who
did not know how to handle his wheel
when rounding the curves.
The racing was first-class, especially the
final contest, which was very interesting.
Byrne who won the event, proved beyond
all dispute that he was one of the promis-
ing riders who will be heard from in a
most favorable light in the near future
The result of the evenings contests is as
follows:
The first race on the programme was
third of mile for class A. Out of the five
entries in the first heat only two started
G. A. Nissen and f. Mcfarland. The race
was won by Nissen. Time, 81 2-5 seconds.
First in each heat to start in final.
In the second heat the starters were e.
Languetin and f. NJ. Byrne. The latter
won. Time, 4S Is seconds.
In the third and fourth heats of this race
only one man, M. +. Rose, appeared at the
scratch, and as he had no competitors the
race was given to him without riding.
This action of the committee was not ac-
cording to the rules. Rose should have
been ordered to ride the distance.
In the final of this heat Nissen, Byrne
and Rose started.
Byrne took the lead with Nissen a close
second. There was no change in this line
to- the finish Ryrne won a good race in
48 sec.
The next event was the one-mile, class
B, from scratch. The starters in the first
heat were W. A. Terrill and Oscar Osen.
The latter was caught sleeping and Terrill
stole march on him in the second last
lap and won the race in 2 min. "a 3-5 sec.

For a country house the narrow JAP
anese reed fringe will make a unique
border, or q row Of odd shaped palm
fans above this textile covered wall
space. The seats should be covered plain,
with box plated border. Large cushions
covered with the same material are fin

cotton goods are very fine, and when
used for draperies the edge is finished
with heavy cord bearing the several
colors. Brass rods are generally used for
draperies unless poles to match the
woodwork of the room are desired, for
brass inishings even in small quantity
add most delightful touch Of bril-

good ventilation. The upper part Of tho
window frame is. fitted with grille work
to match the wood finish of the room,
the shades and draperies being mounted
beneath the lower edge of the grille,
while a strip of holland matching the
window shade is fitted to the upper por-
tion of the window sash, so that the eff
feet when the window is closed is mere
" ornamental, but when it becomes
necessary to change the air of the room
the upper sash is lowered, and the air
enters freely through the open grille.
This arrangement is practical in any
room, adding certain beauty not Sc
cured by other window treatment. The
open ropewOrk transoms, designed by
young ladies in the Philadelphia art
schools, are odd and pretty, and the
work could be done by any one of ar
tistic taste by securing a design and
then getting lessons from some sailor
versed in tying knots, - for this work
