RIGHMOND'S STEADY GAIN.
Exchange of Real Estate and New
Buildings Indicate Confidence in
This Section.

This Section.
The Richmond residents are not indulg-
ing just now in the luxury of electric
lights on their streets, but yet the section
is advancing along the line OF STEADY
progress and Improvements.
Day by day lots are bought and sold and
new buildings are being contracted Tor.
John Wilson, the boatswaln OF the reve-
nue. cutter CorwIn. has just finished neat
new cottage on Third avenue, and as
proof of his intention OF making gooo
use of his new home he notified his neigh
bors of that fact on last Wednesday night
by hiring band of music to enIlVen the
occasion and to celebrate his marriage to
Miss Kitty Fennigan, one of the Richmond
society bellies.
In addition to this new cottage, b. l.
Taylor has contracted with E. a. Forst
for $4,000 residence on Twentieth avenue,
between Clement street and Point Lobos
avenue.
7. G. Parker the Richmond real estate
agent, has, during the past week, trans
ferred lot on Clement street and Fourth
avenue to L. Levy for $1,000, and to Mrs.
Crosscut one on Twenty-iourth avenue and
Point Lobos avenue for $500. L. La
| massey also sought the same agent to
| purchase lot on Second avenue, between
Clement and California streets. In the
same locality Mrs. Mary Muller purchased
lot for 5000 through the same source
These figures, Mr.. Parker states, are con-
sidera bic OF an advance Oh prices offered
Tor corresponding properties one year ago.
The old racecourse is now one level
body of ground, with streets and avenues
marked over its surface, and sewers are
being put in. Sixth avenue, between Lake
and Clement streets, is graded and
macadamized. The same sort OF improve
ment is being applied to Lake street,
! between Fifth and Sixth avenues.
Twelfth avenue, between Clement and
| California, is also improved.
Point Lobos avenue is one sheet OF red
mud and dirt, the accumulation of refuse
and sweepings for years, as this thorough
| fare has never had the benefit of being
! scratched by the street-sweeper gong over
its surface. This neglect will be obviated
| if the Richmond Improvement Club can
/ induce the next Legislature to take Point
| Lobos avenue from the care of the Park
| Commissioners and place it under the
control of the Supervisors, where, the resi-
dents say, it justly belongs.
Additional hall and lodgeroom accom-
mediation will be provided for clubs and
societies by improvements about to be
done by F. Nj. Flugger, proprietor OF the
Boulevard, on the corner OF First and
Point Lobos avenues, by certain altera-
tons on the second story OF his building.

The Supreme Court yesterday handed
down a decision, in which it was set forth
that Bowman did nothing to create the
pond, and that the deceased boy was a
trespasser, and that the verdict in favor of
Bowman in the lower court was right.
Therefore the judgment of the lower court
was affirmed.

An Electric Palace.

The palatial New York home of
Charles I. Yerkes, the Chicago mil
lionaire, at Sixty eighth street and
Fifth avenue, has not only the most
complete electric lighting, heating,
and ventilating plant of any of the
several electrically equipped mansions
in the city. but it has the largest
storage battery plant ever installed in
private residence. A gas engine of
thirty horse power in the base
ment is belted to dynamo. The
storage battery consists of sixty cells,
having capacity of $500 hours at a
ten-hour discharge rate, the maximum
discharge rate being 500 amperes for
four hours
The house is wired for about 1900
sixteen-candle-power lamps, and has
besides electric passenger elevator
and several electric motors for venti-
lating, pumping and other purposes.
The arrangement of the lights is
very artistic. The vestibule or recep-
tion hall is lighted from above through
cathedral glass in the base of q dome
by 800 lights. Lamps are concealed
within the carving of the principal
salon, or in rosettes of colored glass
cunningly placed in the ceilings.
In the library, an apparent framed oil
painting, which is really wonderful
piece of cathedral glass work, is made
the vehicle of the food of light. which
illuminates the room with the soft
radiance of day.

to the supposed beach, only six min
utes have passed! 1t seems almost in
credible, but their training has made
all the men models of promptness and

returns the beach apparatus to the
station, leaving everything, as usual,

One at a Time.

One step at time, and that well placed,
We reach the grandest height;
One stroke at time. earth's hidden stores
viii slowly come to light:
.One seed at a time, and the forest grows,
One drop at a time and the river flows
Into the boundless sea.
One word at time, and the greatest book
Is written and is reads
One stone at time, and the palace rears
Aloft its stately head;
One blow at time, the trees cleft through,
And city will stand where forest grew
A few short years before.
One foe at time and he subdued,
And the conflict will be won;
One grain at time, and the sand OF life
Will slowly all be run;
One minute, another, the hours fly;
One day at a time our lives speed by
Into eternity
One grain of knowledge, and that we'll
stored,
Another, and more on them;
And as time rolls on, your mind will shine
With many garnered gem;
Ofthought and wisdom. And time will tell
"One thing at a time, and that done well, "
Is wisdom's proven rule.
