tary efficiency Of all other forms Of cur-
rency as they settled to the levol OF
silver monometallisni. Every one who
receives fixed salary and every
worker for wages would find the dollar
in his hand ruthessly scaled down
to the point Of bitter disappointment IL
not to ,pinching privation.
A change in our standard to silver
recommendation would also bring On a
collapse Of tho entire system Of credit
which, when based on standard
which is recognized and adopted by
the world OF business, is MANY times
more potent and useful than the entire
volume of currency, and is safely
capable of almost indefinite expansion
to meet the growth Of trade and entor.
PRISE 4 All history warns us
against rash experiments which
threaten violent changes in our none
tary standard and the degradation of
our currency.
The fight which President Cleveland
has led against the free silver crusade
has already beon substantially won
and the President shows in the mes
sage under review desire to con-
vince those whom he has already con
quered in the debate.
The President, in conclusion, states
that, while suggesting a remedy for
our financial ills, which seems to him
good and sufficient, he is prepared to
abandon it and cooperate with Con-
gress in perfecting any other measure
promising thorough and practical relief.
Should Congress respond to this
declaration in the broad and patriotic
spirit in which it is made there should
be but little difficulty experienced in
the settlement of our financial trials.
II Congress be patriotic as the Presi.
dent is known to be, the government
will not be, as Speaker Reed styled it,
"a divided one" on the vital question
of finance. The Presidents message
shows that he is not "playing the
game of politics.. He is rather the
patriot and statesman in office.

WOMEN's FINEST SHOES

Trade names are freely con-

grew famous through its good
ness the average shoe store
commenced selling "Vici Kid

that has driven the biggest
slice of trade to the store that
doesn't do it.
Vici Kid is made by Robert

MIGRATION OF BIRDS.
Professor Loomis Talks of the Aerial
Voyagers.

Professor Loomis Talks of the Aerial
Voyagers.
An attentive and appreciative audience
listened to lecture on 'sAerial Voyagers"
at the Academy of Sciences last night.
Leverett M. Loomis, curator of the de-
partment of ornithology, was the speaker.
He said:
The disappearance of swallows in autumn
puzzled Aristotle. The only explanation he
and slept during winter. The Royal Society,
in the time of James l., informs US s'that it is
most certain that swallows sink themselves to-
ward autumn into lakes" The first Ameri-
can writer to have a clear conception of
the migration of birds was Rev. John Bach
man, the friend and collaboration of Audubon
In his well-known essay he tells us that many
land pass the winter in the Carolinas and
along the Gulf coast, and that others go still
further south to the Bahamas and West Indies.
Hardy birds, like the snowy owl and snow
flake, come from the Arctic regions to spend
the winter in New England, taking the place
of the summer visitors that had departed. He
knew that some birds migrate during the night
time and that others migrate only during the
day.
He was a seeker, also, after causes, holding
that birds go south to avoid the cold of win
ter or to find more congenial and abundant
food, the latter being stronger principle
than the former. When, however he en-
ulty which enables birds to make their long
journeys and always return to their nesting
places he was compelled to fall back upon that
magic word that has so long done service
among ornithologists to cover up their ignor-
ance of the matter-sinstinct."

and when the projectors were about to
submit a bond for the cost of the work to
the Park Commissioners, the price of the
thirty lights was raised to $500 month
and guarantee for three years instead of
one was demanded
This new demand required the promo
tiers of illumination to raise guarantee of
$4,000 instead of one of $10600, and this
increased risk they were unwilling to take.
The matter will be made an issue of the
next election, however, and when it comes
o choosing a Supervisor to represent the
Richmond District, and the people at
Ocean View and south of the park, he
must be in favor of lighting up the Cliff
House drive through the park or his
election will be very uncertain.
When lighted the road will have about
fifty lights strung along from Stanyan
street to the Cliff A big arc lamp will be
placed at every turn in the road, and these
turns follow each other rapidly enough to
keep the entire driveway well lighted.
Permission has been granted to the pro-
motors of the scheme, and the only re-
striction is that the wires be laid under
pround as far out as Strawberry Hill.
From there to the Cliff the wires can be
strung in the air Mayor Sutro and A. P.
Hotaling, the wine man, have been named
as bondsmen, but the bond has not been
signed. and unless the light company re-
duces it's demand it may not be submitted
for some time, but the road will be
lighted and all the beach people, all the
cvcleries and all the wheelmen are waiting
and working for 1t.

STRUCK WITH A RATCHET,
MurderouS Attack by a Burglar
Upon Mrs. Dora Reede,
Geary Street.
Three Chinese Employed In Her
Restaurant Are Arrested on
Suspicion.

A murderous attack was made upon
Mrs. Dora Reede, widow. by burglar in
her restaurant, 432 Geary street, at an
early hour yesterday morning, and she is
now in the Receiving Hospital in critical
condition.
She slept on lounge in one of the rear
corners of the restaurant, which was pro-
tected by Japanese screens. The front
door opens onto Geary street. and the
kitchen is In the rear of the restaurant.
being connected by door.
Mrs. Reede before retiring on Sunday
night bolted the front door, but did not
lock it. She also bolted the door leading
from the kitchen to the restaurant. She
was awakened about o'clock by blow
on the head from some instrument. She
sprang from the lounge and blindly
clutched at the murderous burglar who
struck at her again, She threw up her left
hand and received the blow on it. In the
struggle she caught hold OF something
which she thought was the queue OF
Chinese. She heard the burglar grope for
satchel containing about $75, which she
kept under the lounge, and after getting 1t
he disappeared. She had no opportunity
of getting good look at the burglar, as
the first blow on her head dazed her.
Her screams for help attracted the atten-
ton of the people living in the lodging
house above the restaurant and they hur-
riedly ran to see what was the matter.
They found the front door open and on
entering the restaurant they saw Mrs.
Reede stretched out on the floor uncon-
scious and covered with blood. Policemen
Douglass, Oman and Duane also heard her
screams and were quickly on the spot.
They found an old Ratchet on the floor
with marks of blood upon it, which was
without doubt the instrument used by the
burglar upon Mrs. Reede's head. The
The San Francisco call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1895-1913, 1895-09-03

Ratchet was usually slowed away in the
kitchen ami no one knew where except
those employed about the place.
An investigation of the premises led to
the belief that the burglar had effected an
entrance by the kitchen window, which
opens into an alley. After procuring the
Ratchet he removed the bolt from the
kitchen door, attacked and robbed Mrs.
Reede and made his exit through the front
door, which, in his hurry, he left open.
Mrs. Reede was taken to the Receiving
Hospital in the am bulance. DIR. FitZgib-
bon found a severe wound in her scalp on
the left side, and ii the weapon had not
been blunt it would have penetrated her
skull. AS it is her skull is slightly frac-
tured Her left hand is also wounded.
She recovered consciousness during the
afternoon.
She employed three Chinese. All Charley
cook, All Ling assistant cook and Tom
Tuck dishwasher. When Tuck and Ling
went to the restaurant to commence work
yesterday morning they were placed under
arrest by the three officers, and the cook
was subsequently arrested. The police
suspect that the trio, or one or other of
them, were concerned in the burglary and
attempted murder. Detective Byram has
also been detailed on the case.

A SOCIETY EVENT.
The Fall Opening at O'Brien's Literally
Captures the Town.

The Fall Opening at O'Brien's Literally
Captures the Town.
That O'Brien's openings have really
come to be considered society events and
are eagerly looked forward to by those
who wish to keep in touch with the very
latest correct styles was forcibly demon
strated by the multitude which turned out
yesterday in response to the announce
ment of the beginning of the firms open
ing display of new fall dry goods.
In fact, one was strongly reminded of a
first night at the theater by the number of
prominent society ladies encountered, and
their expressions of admiration and de-
light showed that even their most sanguine
expectations were more than realized In
the wealth of indescribably beautiful new
goods displayed. But this is not to be
wondered at, for the Messrs. O'Brien have
really outdone themselves in their prepare
tons for the coming season, which is say
ing great deal when former stocks are
considered.
In explanation of the extraordinary re-
suits attained ]. J. O'Brien stated that his
firm has every faith in the stability of the
era of better times now dawning on Cali
fornia, and in buying the new stocks for
their mammoth stores here and at Los
Angeles their unusually enormous pur-
chases had given them a first choice from
the best products of the worlds greatest
designers and manufacturers at figures
that otherwise would have been simply
impossible.
As natural result the firms offerings
combine in the highest degree the three
points most sought after, viz, correct
STYLES, superior qualities and extra values,
and any lady who fails to attend the OPEN
ing this week will miss not only one of the
most elegant, complete and attractive dis
plays of fashionable goods ever collected,
but also one of the events of the season.

The Demands of the Electric

Matters.
POLITICS WILL BE INVOKED
Agitation on the Question Of Light
Ing the Park Driveway Has
subsidized.

The proposition to light the main drive
way OF the park is not receiving the sup
port which attended it when first the idea
was submitted to the commission. 1t is
still being kept before the minds of wheel
men and the bicycle clubs, however, and
the prospect of having lighted drive to
the Cliff are not so remote as the present
state of affairs seems to indicate.
The principal reason the project is laps
ing lies in the impossibility of making sat
isfactory arrangements with the electric
light company. The first estimate given
those in charge of the matter was that
thirty lights could be furnished for $500,
and the company asked guarantee that
they would be kept up for at least one
year. When the plan took shape, however,
