When you talk to people about a great
reduction in price and give a tangible
reason for it, they are quick to believe.
and respond to the offer, Just in proper
ton as it is really low. Every one knows
that when ciothiers stock becomes
broken into odd lots, the quicker he can
close them out at even very low price
the better, though the goods, to these who
can be fitted, ara as valuable as thouph
they paid full price This accounts for
c. 81. Nasons awful reduction on odd
lots of children's suits, as stated in his ad
on eth page. Many for fact ara less
than half price. Who are the wise parents
to take advantage of it.

ONE MILLION DOLLARS.
A Large Shipment of Gold to the Local
Sub-Treasury.

A Large Shipment of Gold to the Local
SubTreasury.
a week on two ago there was much com.
ment upon the fact that many OF the
bankers and large inanciers of this City
were presenting green backs and other cur
rency at the sub-treasu ry and taking out
gold in large quantities in exchange. 1t
was feared that this run was for no good
purpose.
Yesterday the local sub-treasury re-
ceived 100000 in gold from the SUBJ
treasury in Chicago. This precious ship
ment was made to keep up the supply of
gold on this coast and TO partly offset the
recent redemption of currency, which
amounted to about s., 000. 600 taken ont in
August. In July about s., 900, goo in gold
was shipped to the sub-tressury in New
York. 1t is believed that yesterdays con-
signment from Chicago will be all that is
necessary to meet the demands OF the
near future, as all OF the large payments
in currency made in the East to Call
fornia fruit and produce dealers have
been exchanged for gold at the local SUBJ
treasury. At present there is about
$4,000, 900 in gold, silver and currency ia
the sub-treasury, and enough of eacn to
meet the demands of all local and Pacific
Coast business.

Grand Opera.House,

The first performance of ''The Danger Sig
nal" was presented last night with lovabe
little Lottie Williams in the leading role and
laughable Edward J. Heron to furnish we'll
sustained thread of humor that balances the
piece and prevents it from appearing more pa
thetic than an ordinary audience wishes for in
an evenings entertainment.
The interest is held TO the last through q

young lieutenant pays attention to the pretty,

THE LETTER-CARRIERs.
Ratification Meeting in Connectio With
the National Convention Com
ing Here in 1897.

The San Francisco Letter-carriers' Con-
vention Association held its first meeting
for the ratification of having received the
next National convention for this CITY in
1897.
Secretary Trieber reported that he had
received word from the delegates at Grand
Rapids, Mich, that San Francisco had
been voted the convention on the first
ballot; that New York City had voted in
a body, casting seventy votes for this City,
and other Eastern cities had done the

The association decided to issue souve-
Mrs with pictures OF the past Postmasters
and other information concerning the
Postoffice, and as soon as the committee is
ready the contract for printing them will
be awarded and they will be issued to the
general public early next year.
A committee consisting of Thomas E..
Finnegan. George W. Spiller, Frank E.
Smith, James 81. Smith and Conrad
Irieber was appointed to raise funds
and issue the souvenir. It was
thought that from $4,000 to $4,000 would
have to be raised. Letters were read
from business firms offering assistance,
and it was decided to give entertainments
to help raise that amount. Over 400 dele
gates will have to be entertained during
the convention. com mittee on arrange

At thu AInsza-

The military piece "Ours" was the produc-
ton presented at the Alcazar Theater last
evening, and its reception by the sudience
was at times marked with prolonged applause,
particularly the tableau at the close of the
second act when there is seen the departure
of the English troops for the seat OF war. There
is but small cast, still each actor and actress
has good part. Adele Belgrade as Blanche
Haye, the heroine, gave q pleasing
Interpretation of the part, while Amy
Lee, who made such q hit in the
character of the servant in Gail the Comforts
OF Home" last week, was charming as Mary
Netley, part in which repartee and sarcasm
are the chief characteristics She gave proof
of her thorough understanding OF the char
acter. Mrs. Bates came in for the honors as
Lady Shendryer. J. B. Polk was acceptable as
Prince Pitrovsky and the other participants
gave evidence of careful study. The piece is
Wen staged and ought to draw well during
the week.

FOR PALMER AND BUcKNER
Sound-Money Democrats Out with
Their Petitions.

Having decided to put Palmer and
Buckner electoral ticket in the field in
this State the Sound Money Democratic
League IS pushing its campaign for the
National Democracy with speed and yigor.
Yesterday blank petitions were ordered
printed and to-day will be on the streets of
this City and on their way TO patriotic
sound-money Democrats throughout the
State who are actively interested in the
cause.
To get the electors on the ticket requires
filing with the Secretary of State a petit
ton bearing nearly 5000 names or per
cent of the vote OF the State. The blank
petitions are made up in book form and
are Of three sizes. Some have room for
100 names, some for 200 and some for 500.
These will be busily circulated to-day and
during the next two weeks. The petition
must be filed in Sacramento on October 3
at the latest, and all petitions will be
ordered returned by the 18th inst.
Secretary Elliott McAlister is over ears
in the work and is enthusiastically inter
ested.
at will be little trouble to get the
names" said McAllister yesterday, "as a
majority of the citizens would readily sign
the petition whether they are interested in
Palmer and Buckner or not. Tomorrow
we viii start out six or eight paid canvass
ers here in the City, and the member OF
the league will carry petitions with them
and get signatures. We expect thatabout
1000 signatures will be secured by our cor
respondents throughout the State.
I'VE will not have as extensive CO.
operation in Los Angeles as we expected,
as the Sound Money League there has
joined with the Business Mems Sound
Money Club, and will actively support
Mckinley, thus firing both barrels at the
common enemy, as it has been expressed.
I'VE, of course, do not care whether
sound-money Democrat votes for McKin-
ley and Hobart or Palmer and Buckner,
our object being to defeat Bryan and the
Populist element that has gained tempo
rary control of the party.
"Our electoral ticket was decided upon
because there was a great demand from
the country that the movement be put
through in unison with the National
movement, and also because it was found
that great many Democrats who would
not support Mckinley wanted a ticket
they could conscientiously support.
Then four years from now when the
Populists are out of it the National De-
mocracy of this campaign will be the cen
trail party organization and control the
National Convention and the delegation
from our organization will be recognized
as the legImate one"

There was, as usual, large crowd at the
Orpheum Music Hall last night to witness the
several interesting numbers on the pro-
gramme, which were received with much APP
plause and many demands for more, but the
chief attraction was the last number, the high

second hearing only confirms the impress
sion OF the great beauty of Humperdinek's
music, which was given on Sunday night.
Some changes in the cast of "Hausel and
GreteP' might yet make the opera a local hit,
and the Tivoli, IN its grand opera company,
has excellent artists at its disposition The
mistake has been made by imagining that any
singers were good enough for a fairy
opera, but If new and better soprano and
mezzo-soprano were put on the fallacy of this
belief would soon be apparent As it Is now
ever, "Hansel and Gretel" is more than worth
hearing for the sake Of the few scenes that are
well sung. aud for the exquisite beauty of its
orchestral score.
