There seems to be no let up
to our trade and we are adding
new customers to our already
large list every day. When
you take a moment to think
of if the reason is plain enough;
people go where they can get
goods best and cheapest. T.
I'll. Davies, the prince of mer-
chants, struck the key note
when he said that America
had the bulk of Hawaii's COM
merce because the goods were
sold cheaper. There's no SEN
timent in goods-buying. People
go in for bargains and they
would get their stock from
Alaska if they could be brought
from there cheaper than any
where else.
The gamut of household
needs is run in today's Offering
of China. And China that
even this most particular China
store may well feel proud of.
France, England and the
United States have contribu-
ted toward the stock, and the
poorest bargain you can find in
the lot leaves you with goods
at a fourth less than they can
be duplicated for, no matter
where you try. AS a rule the
saving is a third from usual
prices.
House keepers and hotel
keepers having needs, present
or prospective, are interested
in our full sets of crockery,
dinner or tea, at $3.50. Where
can you get anything as good
for less than $1,000?

MAY DIE IN PRISON.

An Effort to Secure a Pardon for
Thomas McGowan.
Efforts are being made to secure par
don for Thomas MCGOWAN, who nine
months ago was sentenced to serve one
year in the Alameda County Jail for as
sisting in smuggling opium. MCGOWAN
was a fireman on one of the steamers run.
ming to British Columbia. Soon after he
was sentenced he showed pronounced
symptoms of consumption. and his illness
was increased by malaria and typhoid
pneumonia. On Thursday United States
District Judge Morrow made an order for
MCGOWAN to be removed from the jail 10
the Receiving Hospital in Oakland, where
he can have medical attendance.
United Staes District Attorney Foote
has become interested in the smuggler' S
unhappy condition, and yesterday he
sent a letter to Attorney-General Har-
mon at Washinston, D. c., asking for q
pardon for MCGOWAN on account of i'll
health. He has taken this interest in the
convict because the latter has no funds tc
secure the help OF an attorney to present
the case at the capital. Another motive
for the interest Is that MCGOWAN has q
wife and small child still in arms. Mr.
Foote has requested that immediate at.
tention be paid 10 the petition, ior, while
the remainder of MeGowan's term is
short, the fellow may not live to serve our
the full time. Mr.. Foote fe ars that unless
speedy action be taken the prisoner viii
die in Jail.

NOT NECES SSARY.
The Supervisors Lay Two Board oi
Health Ordinances on the Shelf
for an Indefinite Period.

The Joint Committee on Health and Police
and Judiciary of the Board of Supervisors dis
posed of two ordinances recently proposed by
the Board of Health in a summary manner
yesterday.
Attorney ]. B. Reinstein drew up sthe
measures, but it was speedily discovered that
they were not necessary and their fate was ''in-
definite postponement."
The first referred to the inspection of food
for public institutions and required that all
meat and milk furnished them be offered Tor
inspection at one of the public inspection
stations before being delivered.
On the showing that the heads OF the various
public institutions regularly inspected the
materials this was found TO be unnecessary
and laid on the shelf.
The second, requiring that all meat in
| tended for use in this City be taken to the
| stations, suffered like fate on the statement
| by Chief Food Inspector Dockery that all
meat is examined by United States and local
inspectors before being allowed entry into the
| City and would only go to the stations after ii
| had been stamped as wholesome.
The decision OF the joint committee highly

Forty Dollars Week for Ten Weeks
to Watch q Sick Man.
'This man Norton has already cost this
City S40O for men to watch him, and L I'M
willing to have him admitted to bail in
order to stop the expense" said District
Attorney Barnes in Judge Slack's court
yesterday.
The court expressed willingness to
protect the City treasury as far as possible
and Mr.. Barnes explained.
S. r. Norton was arrested in Yolo
County some time ago on a charge of en-
bezzling 500. He came to San Francisco,
where he was arrested and taken back to
the place where the crime was alleged to
have been com mmitted. There he was ad-
mitted to bail and at once returned TO this
CITY.
he had no sooner arrived in San Fran
cisco than another warrant was served on
him and he was again taken into custody.
Then writ of habeas corpus was sued out
In his behalf, under which the CHIEF of
Police was ordered to produce the pris-
oner's body in Judge Hebbard's court.
Before that could be done Norton fell Sc
riously Ill and has been SICK in bed in his
own home ever since.
All this time officers have been watch
ing Norton day and night to see that he
didn't escape. Ten weeks have elapsed,
ana as it costs $40 week for watchers to
guard man who shows no symptoms OF
getting well the District Attorney thinks
1t is time to call halt.
Judge Slack agreed with this view of the
matter and ordered that Norton be ad-
mitted to bail in the sum of $1,000 bond
for which will be filed to-day or Monday.
The bail fixed by Judge Hebbard was
$1,000 which was more than Norton was
able to supply.

three years, suffering at times with terrible

HANDBALL.

The Union Court Is In the Hands of
ReceiVer-To-Morro Games.
The proprietor of the Union hand ball
court on Howard street failed in business
. last Tuesday, and the old place, which
has been patronized for many years by
the lovers of the great old Irish game. is
now in charge of the Sheriff, and a big
black lock, indicative of power, hangs on
the door. In all probability the place
will remain unoccupied for some time,
as the court is of very ancient construc-
ton, and the players of to-day are not par
ticularly fascinated with it.
Phil Ryan's San Francisco hall-court is
largely patronized by the fraternity. 1t
is of regulation size, and the electric
lights afford PLAYERS who cannot indulge
in the pastime during the day an oppor-
tunity of stretching their neither linn os at
night. The proprietor is contem plating
many Improvements which no doubt will
be thoroughly appreciated by the lovers of
the sport. The following excellent pro-
gramme of games has been arranged for

ASSESSOR SIEBE SUED.
Formal Demand for 81 3S, 299 on Ac.
count of Uncoilected Taxes.

Formal Demand for S13S, ,299 on Ac.
count of Uncoilected Taxes.
District Attorney W. S. Barnes, on be-
half of the State of California, yesterday
filed suit against Assessor John D. Siebt
and the sureties on his official bond, John
F. Ortman, Henry Plageman and Henry
f. Fortman, for the modest sum oi
$138, ,299.
As a cause of action Mr.. Barnes alleges
that Assessor Siebe failed to perform his
full duty in assessing and collecting taxes
on personal property not secured by real
estate, and tnat on account OF this neglect
the public treasury has lost the amount
said 10 be due.
For this reason Mr.. Siebe and his bonds
men are requested to make the deficit good.
Very little importance is attached to
this suit by the financial officers of the
City and County of San Francisco. A
similar suit for $4,000 was begun against
Mr.. Siebe year ago. but nothing came of
it. The new law requires the District At
torney to file the complaint, however, and
he has complied with that formality.
