the third to the sixth stories, inclusive
the windows are ornamented with archi-
traves and pediments of appropriate de-
| sign. The seventh story is of very elab-
crate character, the window openings be-
ing richly nodded with balustrades in front
and richly carved panels between openings
Over the seventh story is an ornamental
frieze nine feet high and finished with q
projecting cornice orna1nented with me-
dallions and dentil course.
The building is provided with two pas.
senger elevators, which are operated from
O. clock A. NJ. to II o'clock at night.
There are 165 offices finished in quartered
oak, with washbasins and coat-closets in
each room and lighted with incandescent
lights, with perfect ventilation throughout.
Mail chutes are provided at each story
and elegantly furnished toilet-rooms on
the eighth floor. In the easements are
dynamos, engines, boilers, elevator pumps,
vision against accidents or in case of re-
pairs.
STONE WORK.
The stone work is an example of the
advance made in this branch of the build
ing trade.
The building was originally designed for
terra Gotta, but bids were taken on stone
ais o. and, as McPhee, Groliere & Co.'s bid
was as low as others in terra Gotta, stone
was adopted because it was preferred.
The reduction in the cost of stone Just
during the last year or two in San Fran
cisco is chiefly due to the use of such i'm
proved machinery as the above firm has
introduced, viz: steam saws, rubbing beds,
planning and joining machines, as well as
steam derricks for the quick hosting and
setting of stone in buildings such as this
new Office building.
a visit to the works of McPhee, Groliere
& Co., at 1919 Market street, will be well
repaid lust at this time, for the full capa-
city of the plant is being brought into
service in turning out the stonework for
the new home of Claus Spreckels on Van
Ness avenue, which, when completed, will
be the only absolutely tire-proof residence
in this City.
One great drawback to the use of stone
previously has been the delay in quarrying
and cutting it. With the resources and
facilities of McPhee, Groliere 81 Co. no
such obstacle now exists, which is source
of extreme qualification to architects.
Ped estrians on Market street doubtless
noticed the rapid rate with which story
after story was added to the Emma Spreck-
els building. Less than eight days
was consumed 10, on Al story after
pleted, which is something new to the
builders art. The previous experience of
these stone contractors coupled with the
best equipment of machinery in the coun-
try, enables them to handle such work to
the best advantage and give complete salts
faction to supervising architects. The

IT'S ARCHITECTURAL FEATURES.
Glimpses of This imposing Struc-
ture Which Do Credit to Its
Builders.

The new Spreckels building on Market
street, between Sixth and Seventh, COM
pleted and thrown open for occupancy a
few days ago, takes rank among the fore
most office structures of San Francisco.
1t is a seven-story building of Oregon
graystone, the style of architecture adopted
being free treatment of the Italian re-
naissance.
The principal entrance is through a
spacious archway with pilasters at sides,
and surmounted with cornice and balus-
trade The second story is of massive
rusticated work of simple design. From

oharcoal-Making for Gunpowder.

Charcoal-making for gunpowder is a
much more complicated process than the
ordinary field kiln manufacture. Only
certain kinds of wood are used-usually the
young shoots of elder and willow-and it
is cut in the spring, so that the bark may
be stripped off. 1t is then piled under airy.
open sheds, and allowed to remain several
years, until it is thoroughly dried. When
the powder-maker is ready for new sup
ply of charcoal, the wood is cut into
lengths of three feet and placed in tight iron
retorts, under and around which fire roars
continually. The hampers and pipes are
so arranged that the workmen have COM
plete control of the heat. AT the end of
the retort a hole is left for the escape of
the infammable gases resulting from the
charring process. A pipe catches them
as they leave the retort and conveys them
into the furnace, where they take the place
of good deal of fuel. When the flame of
the gases becomes a deep blue color the
workmen know that the wood is sufficiently
charred, and the retort is cooled down as
quickly as possible. The charcoal is then
left for week or more before grinding,
because if placed in the machine at once
there is danger of spontaneous combus-
ton. The best charcoal is jet black, and
fractures show yelvety surface.
The grinding machine is like huge old
fashioned Coffee ill-two roughened cones
turning one inside the other. As the pow
dered charcoal comes out it falls upon q
screen, and all that goes through 1t IS
taken to the powder mill, and the residue
s'tailing oyerh is returned to the grinder.

PLUMBERS WORK.
This feature is the very best and en-
braces the most modern sanitary appli-
ances, some of which are new to the coast
and were specially made for w. f. Wilson
of 204 Stockton street, to whom the order
for the plumbing work was given. Mr..
Wilson has in this instance good cause to
feel proud OF his work. 1t has given emf
nent satisfaction to the architects in this
instance. Mr.. Wilson is in every respect a
practical mechanic, and it is said of him
that not the slightest detail in any con-
tract he may accept is left unconsidered or
unscrutinized. In these days special
thought and attention is given sanitary
plumbing by architects and owners. Will
sons excellent system of plumbing has
been introduced into most of the fine build
ings of this city, notably the California
Hotel, Union Trust Company's banking
building and the Palace Hotel, the latter
contract being estimated the largest ever
executed in this country. The finest build
ing ever erected is not fit to live in unless
scientifically drained and ventilated. In
this respect the Spreckels building is abso-
lutely perfect.

fraudulent Applications.

A warrant was sworn out in Judge Lows
court yesterday for the arrest of Thomas l..
Newport on a charge of obtaining money by
false pretenses. The complaining witness is
Theo Sailing, manager of the Fidelity Mutual
Aid Association, 316 California street. The
complaint alleges that Newport, by fraudulent
apple atoms for insurance, obtained 81 so
from the association. One of the applications
purported to be signed by James Byrne, who
denied signing it.

he showed any signs of improvement He re-
manned in semi-conscious state, but it is ex-

Every person, sick or well, needs good
spring medicine at this season of the year to
prepare the system for the severe change from
winter to spring.
The newspapers are constantly filed with
advertisements of patent medicines that have
varying virtues with varying seasons. Always
the same medicine, in one season they are ad-
vertised to cure rheumatism, in another
catarrh, In another Bright's disease or nervous
prostration. Just now all of them are being
advertised as "spring medicines" and are al
legged to be the great cures for "the blood"
ANY one with half an eye can see the alb
surdity of these claims for medicines made
after one formula in great tanks or watts, and
any physician knows what danger, even greater
than disease itself, is the introduction into the
stomach of miscellaneous lot of drugs ap-
piled without professional advice.
Thousands of people are buying patent medi-
cines at random in q reckless attempt to give
the system the medical assistance it requires.
In view of the fact that pure professionally
prepared and administered spring tonic is
necessity to every, one at this season OF the ne
to prepare and give to every patient begin
ming treatment before June full 16-ounce
bottle of Drs. Copeland and NeaPs Special Ere
scription for the liver, kidneys and blood In adj
dition to their regular treatment. This bottle
to go to themselves or any member OF their
family in need of spring tonic.
This preparation Is especially requisite lOI
those who have suffered from the grip, influ-
enza or other winter malady to aid the general
catarrhal treatment to get the poison out OF
the blood. 1t removes all accumulated poisons
from the system, improves the circulation, en-
riches the blood and strengthens the liver and
kidneys, as well as all the other vital organs Of
the body. AT this time OF the year no med1-
cine could be more beneficial or more exactly
in the line of their regular treatment. The
offer is as follows:
All patients beginning treatment be-
fore June / will be given a full 16-
ounce bottle of Drs. Copeland and Neal's
Special Prescription for the Liver, Kid
neys and Blood, in addition to their
treatment; this bottle to go to them
selves or any member of their family in
need of spring tonic.
Drs. Copeland and Meals Liver, Kidney and
Blood Cure is worth alone 81 bottle. This lisa
splendid inducement for those who require the
treatment of Drs Copeland and Neal to begin
now, as it enables their families to share the
benefit of their treatment
