Golden Gate Park in its Fall
Costume of Purple and

Captain Thomson Will Soon Have a
Police Station on Casino
Hill.

Golden Gate Park, the pride OF San
Francisco people and admired by all
visitors, looks splendid in its fall costume
of purple and green.
The late rains gave to the trees and
shrubs their iall bath, which washed off
the summer dust and gave them an ap-
pearance pleasant 10 behold.
The autumn flowers of variegated hue,
with preponderance of purple coloring
lend a most fascinating charm to the
beautiful scenery which attracts the eve

foot, horseback or seated in handsome
vehicles which are used by the wealthy
in their daily spins over the well-kept
drives.

noon was more of reminder of tropical
country than OF a North American section
at this time when the telegraph dispatches
announce blizza rds and snowfals within
few hundred miles of San Francisco,
the queen winter spot of California.
Tall pine trees that month ago wore
dirty brown color from the summers
accumulation of red dust had been washed
down, leaving a beautiful green appear

cultivated flowers and the maj site forms
OF choice chrysanthemums raised high
above the tender collection of yiolets and
the thousands OF smaller but attractive
flower bearing shrrbs seemingly vie with
one another as to which will G raw the most
attention from those who daily pass com
ments of admiration upon their beauty.
The open lawns so suddenly brought
into view os the winding avenues are
traversed add charming panorama to the
other reints of observation. The bright
green grass so carefully nourished by an
abundant supply of water the year round
is one of the features that make the park
attractive at all seasons of the year.
The establishment long desired OF
police station within: the park boundary,
where the park police may be under the
command of that urbane and efficient
officer, Captain Thomson, will soon be
reality, as the building is almost finished.
This structure stands on the knob OF the
hill, where the Casino was first located,
and close to where it had been moved and
atterward taken away to make resort in
the Richmond District.
This police station will answer a good

HERE'S YOUR OPPORTUNITY.
How to Get a Great Reference Work a

How to Get a Great Reference Work at
the Cost of Paper and Ink.
Not long ago the Pacific Coast News
paper Syndicate conceived the happy idea
of distributing among readers on rem ark
ably favorable terms certain number of
sets of that great reference work, the
Encyclopedia Dictionary.
The project met with such widespread
appreciation that the enterprise extended
far beyond the bounds originally mapped
out, and many thousands of sets of the
work were placed in homes that would
probably never have possessed it at the
regular price OF $42 10 $40 set.
In the course of the distribution, which
involved the handling. packing and un-
packing of many thousands of these sets,
now and then volume in some set was
slightly rubbed and therefore withheld
from shipment. These sets, of course,
might be rebound and sent out, but the
Syndicate, instead of doing this, purposes
to distribute them al q nominal price.
The most serious injury to any set is no
greater than might occur in few days
use In ones homo or Office.
The nominal price arranged for readers
is also payable in small monthly amounts,
so that many who may have found the
former price too high may now possess
one of these special sets at cost entirely
within reach, both as 20 price and pay
ment. One dollar is all the cash required,
and the full set delivered at once, with the
privilege of returning within a week and
money refunded.
The Syndicate address is ID Sansome
street, San Francisco, where application
may be made either personally or by letter,
but as the number OF these special sets is
limited ana as they will ne distributed to
the first who apply, prompt application is
necessary.
