quarries can fill the largest contracts with
perfect satisfaction. California marble has
been used in the construction of the Mills,
the Hobart, the Palace Hotel and the
Academy of Sciences buildings in this City,
the Stockton Public Library building, the
Government building at Sacramento, the
Ryan building at San Jose, the Stinson
block at Los Angeles, the Telephone build
ing at Stockton and the Museum building
at Palo Alto. and in every instance it has
proved highly satisfactory"
A. Guise, the marble-cutter at 1882 Mar
ket street, who has had a wide experience
in cutting both foreign and native marbles,
speaks very highly of the native article.
He said yesterday that it stood this eli
mate better than any foreign marble that
has ever been used here. He cited the
Italian Cemetery as an instance, where
only the imported marble is used, and said
that the headstones were in a bad state of
decay, whereas headstones made of Cali
fornia marble were as perfect as when first
placed, no matter how old. He said that
his experience had been that California
marble was better for every purpose than
any he had ever used, with the exception
for carving of statuary, for which, he said /,
the native stone was too hard for some of
the fine work that was required.

CHINATOWN'S BOYCOTT.
1t RACES FierceIy, and the New Six
Companies Are Out for Unend-
ing War.

The boycott of the See Yups against the
Sam Yups is still vigorously on in China
town.
AS stated in yesterdays CALL, the See
Yups have undertaken to organize new
society, to include all the Chinese on the
coast outside of the Sam Yup influence A
proclamation inviting the organization of
new Six Companies has been posted, and
active steps toward effecting the organiza-
ton are now in progress.
All members are to be prohibited from
patronszing the Sam Yups in any manner
whatever. and inspectors are to be ap-
pointed, whose business it will be to detect
members who violate the rule. A gradu-
ated fine is prescribed as the penalty for
such violation.
The members are pledged to contribute
to fund, which is to be kept on hand for
the purpose of defending any member who
shall be arrested for committing crime.
If it be baiable offense he shall be re-
leased at once by the company giving the
bond required, and if he be murderer
each member is pledged to use his utmost
endeavor to secure his acquittal.
1t is the purpose of the new organization
to drive the Sam Yups not only out of
business but out of the country, and as the
See 9ups comprise at least so per cent of
the Chinese population, they believe they
will accomplish their purpose.
The Sam Yups hold nightly meetings to
discuss the situation, in the hope of find
ing Some way out Of the difficulty. They
are chiefly concerned about the Chinese
women whom they own as slaves, and who
bring the Sam Yup Company a large
revenue.
If the Sam Yups find themselves COM
PEELED to sell their women the See Yups
would become the purchasers. This is the
only traffic permitted by the new constitu-
ton between the two factions.
Thus the warfare is being peacefully
waged now, but the police have not aban-
doned the belief that they have held all
along, that there will be trouble should
Mock Tai be held for trial.

HENRY IRVING HONORED,
A Gift to the Veteran Actor
From Members of the
English Stage.
WORDS OF GENERALIZATION
Presentation of Casket With Auto
graphs of Many Actors and
Actresses.

On Thursday afternoon, Jnly is, Sir
Henry Irving was at Windsor, receiving,
on Bonded knee, the knightly accolade at
the hands of the Queen. Yesterday after
noon, on the stage of his own theater, he
was presented with a further mark OF
favor-a casket containing a handsome
volume filed with autographs of members
of that profession which has now, for the
first time, received through him, the re-
cognitlon oil a knighthood, says the Lon

ers the association says:
After brief existence of six months we are
able TO note the following achievements due to
the labors of this organization:
l. Uniform values have been established by
the proper grading of wines, and prices regu-
lated.
ming four years into the future, together with
the advances we make, and stand ready at all
times to make, on SOUND wines, we have given
this article the distinction of being the best
recognized security known among the agricul-
tural products of the State to-day.
III. Country cellars have been emptied, the
receipts of wine at San Francisco being over
three million gallons in excess of what they
were to this date last year, thereby relieving
the wine-maker and enabling him to labor
efficiently in the interest OF the producer as
we'll as himself.
". The want of harmony which has long
prevailed among the wholesale dealers, caus-
ing them TO beat the producers out OF proht
and cost of production as well, has given place
to a generous and wholesome endeavor to make
the industry profitable to the grape-grower and
wine-maker.
V Dealers have withdrawn from w1ne-mak-
ing in the country and turned their cellars
over to the wine-makers, who will again pros
per, and be able, in turn to devote more care
TO the operations of wine-making and pay bet
ter prices for grapes.
VI. A premium has been placed on the pro-
duction OF choice wines, and defective wines
sent to the diStillery, thereby adding to the
CT them. The classification and grading OF
wines will be still further improved as we adj
vance.
In claiming all the foregoing we have to ex-
press and to the public generally. Every true
we'll wisher of our industry has supported this
movement and the banks have given that sub
stantlal aid which only they can offer.

which the vast audience laughingly pre-
pared to accept.
The Graphic says editorially: ssThe
honor conferred by her Majesty upon the
dramatic calling through Henry Irving
Yesterday received grateful acknowledge
ment from Henry Irving, its most
worthy and ACCOMPLISHED head. Sir
Henrys rhetorical efforts are always
delightful, largely. on account of the
graceful AMI genial humor which in
variably informs them; but the charm of
Yesterdays address owes its fascination to
another and deeper cause. The spirit of
pride in his art, the grateful acknowledge
ment of the homage performed by his
fellow-workers, and the modesty of his
recognition that the honor done to him
was also an honor to the common calling
of himself and his audience combined to
invest his speech with the dignified elo-
quence which only heartfelt sincerity can
give"

MATERIALS,

Terra Gotta Superior for
Building.
PROPOSED NEW FERRY DEPOT
Will Probably Be Faced With Native
Stone = Experts Favor the
Home Article.

California as producer of the highest
grades of building material is pre-emlnent.
That is the opinion OF architects, engineers,
builders and expert workers in the various
materials for building purposes that are a
part of the natural resources of the State.
These facts have become patent, and as
one result there is more than probability
that the new ferry depot will be monu-
The Board of Harbor Commissioners has
considered the plan of Architect Pelton to
face the building with marble, and, after
consultation with various authorities on
the subject, have decided to have a new set
of plans drawn, contemplating the use of
marble in the construction. When the
new set of plans is completed the Commits
sioners will call for bids, and if it is found
that the building can be erected for the
money available the new ferry building
will have marble facing, very probably
of California marble, the Commissioners
having assured the Manufacturers and
Producers Association that wherever pos
sible California materials will be used.
1--WE are getting out of the wooden age
in building in California" said Architect
A. Page Brown yesterday. 'It is my be-
be erected in San Francisco in the future.
There is no reason why there should be
and every reason why there should not.
The terra Gotta and brick manufactured
here are the best made anywhere in the
world, have no hesitation in saying, and
the sandstone is of a most excellent quail
ity. The terra Gotta and brick are doubt
less the most available California materi-
ais for building, owing to- the saving of
time and expense over other materials,
ing. Sandstone comes next; marble and
that their use entails so much greater ex-
pense. One reason why California marble
has not been more extensively employed
in building is the fact that the quarries
have not for some reason been able to fill
their contracts with sufficient expedition
to justify architects in recommending
native marble. The quality, however, of
our marble and granite cannot be sur
passed"
Secretary w. w. Sargent of the Inyo
Marble Company said: California mar
BILE is especially desirable for building on
account of its great durability. 1t is very
hard and that which is of the dolomite
variety is absolutely the best in the world
for this climate"
Mr.. Sargent attributed the fact that little
marble had as yet been used in building in
California to the same cause as did Archi-
tect Brown, explaining as the reason that
the quarries had not until lately been suf-
ficiently developed to admit of the filling
of large contracts quickly. THAT, how

THEY DENY THE CHARGES.
Several People Assert That No Opium
Is Smoked in Their Houses.

Several People Assert That No Opium
Is Smoked in Their Houses.
The publication of THE CALLS articles in
regard to the opium habit in this City has
caused great outcry from those who
were directly or indirectly implicated.
One libel suit against THE CALL has been
commenced. Many of the proprietors
of places mentioned have come forward to
register their denials.
The proprietor of the Sherman House, at
100 Grant avenue, yesterday said: ''There
are no opium-smokers in my house. / am
very careful in renting my rooms, and
certainly would not knowingly permit an
opium ''fiend" or one addicted to the use
of opium in any of its forms in my house.
The Sherman House has been under my
management for twelve years and the gen.
eral good character of the house is well
known. absolutely deny that any opium
is smoked on my premises"
The lady who has recently taken the
clearinghouse at 514 Pine street has nearly,
if not quite, cleared out all the opium
smokers who formerly occupied rooms
there. Those who know the lady person
ally are confident that she would not per-
nit any person in her house who was
known to practice the opium habit.
The proprietor of the Standard House, at
112O Market street, is another of those land
lords who says he would not knowingly
permit an opium "fend' in his house. II
is sometimes the case that landlords are
deceived as to the character of their ten
ants. This gentleman is unable to person
ally superintend his house, but he has
given strict orders that persons of evil
character shall not be allowed there.
The proprietor of the house at 633 Cali
fornia street says there are no opium
''fiends" in his house and that he is very
particular about renting his rooms. The
proprietor of 1900 Stockton street also says
that there are no persons addicted to the
use of opium in his house and that he
would not knowingly rent rooms to such
persons.
A typographical error in the article OF
the 9Th inst. purported to locate a saloon
that is the resort for white opium 'tiends"
at the southeast corner of Dupont and Pine
streets. Those acquainted with the neigh
borhood saw the mistake at once, for there
is no saloon on that corner. There is a
fruitstand there, run by respectable per-
sons.

startling experience with two Chinese.
Livores had reached the corner of Wash

accosted by the Chinese, who asked him
if he wanted to buy some cigars cheap.
One of them showed him a handful of
cigars and mentioned price that was too
tempting to be resisted. The Chinese sug-
ges ted he should go into the house where

landing Livores was knocked down and
robbed of his watch and So. He had no
time to make an outcry, so quick was the
work done, before the two robbers had
rushed downstairs and disappeared.
Livores reported the robbery at police

AGRICULTURAL INSTITUTES.

The state board of agriculture has
planned a series of winter institutes eX-
tending from the first of December to the
middle of March and covering all parts of
the state. The places and dates of imme-
date local interest are: Chester, January
8, 10; Newfane, February 4, 8; Jackson
vile, February 6, 7. Additional one day
meetings will be held in towns lying along
the south of the regular meetings upon re-
quest of sufficient number of people to
warrant successful meeting. Wherever
these special meetings are desired an early
request should be sent to the secretary, @.
M. Winslow of Brandon.
The winter meetings of the board were
never so we'll attended as last year, and one
of their noticeable features was the pres
ence of large number of young men who
took an active and intelligent interest in
the proceedings. In different parts of the
state it was found that many young men
we're going into farming instead of seeking
their fortune elsewhere, and everywhere
there were indications that our people have
come to a realization of the fact that Yer
mont is one of the best farming sections OF
the country when everything is taken into
consideration, and that, with intelligence,
enterprise, industry and improved meth
DDS on the Vermont farms, the promise for
satisfactory returns is as good here as any
where.

BRACKETT--ELLIS.

The Canal street street home of Mr.. and
Mrs. William Ellis was a-bloom with dec
orations of hemlock, laurel and chrysanthe-
NUNS Wednesday afternoon, when the
nuptials of their eldest daughter, Miss Ella
Binie Ellis, and Charles Albert Bracket
were celebrated. One side of the parlor
was mass of green, with white and yellow
chrysanthemums at each side, while in the
centre was a large mirror, above which
two evergreen rods were extended, forming
a support for a laurel bell, under which the
ceremony was performed.
About so guests were present, nearly all
being relatives of the contracting couple.
The bridal party entered to the strains of
the march from Lohengrin, played upon
the organ by Mrs. j. E. Higley of West
Brattleboro. The usheTs, Frank Field and
Charles Cook, led the way, and were fol-
lowed by the best man and the bridemaid,
Louis Ellis of Greenfield, Mass, and Miss
Ina Butterfeld of South Hadley Falls,
Mass, brother and cousin of the bride re-
spectively; the bride and groom coming
last. The ceremony was performed by
Rev. Hal d. Maxwell.
The BRIDES gown was white satin, with
white satin ribbon and lace trimmings.
The bridemaid wore a white corded silk
with silk embroidery. Both ladies carried
white chrysanthemums tied with white rib
bon.
Following the ceremony congratulations
and good wishes were extended, and re-
freshments were served. Mr.. and Mrs.
Bracket left during the afternoon on the
4:25 train south, and their departure was
the signal for fusillade of rice and old
shoes. Among those who joined in this
greeting were the brides shopmates.
Mr.. and Mrs. Bracket went direct to
Boston. They will be away two weeks
during which time they will visit in Law
renee and other cities of eastern Massachu-
sets. On their return they will make
their home with Mrs. Brackets parent:

There were many fine presents, includ-
| ing $35 in cash, silverware, pictures, etc
