WHO
WHO
SELLS THE BEST
CLOTHING?

This question appeals to you
when you are about to buy
new Suit or spring Overcoat.
If you look up the advertise
ments for an answer to this
question, you'll find that every
clothing store sells the best
clothing and that they sell the
best" clothing for less money
than any other clothing store.
We do not claim to sell the
cheapest clothing, but we do
think we sell as good clothing
as can be made, and at as low
a price as Is consistent with
good merchandising.
Make profit? OF course we
do.
Couldn't DO in business If we
didn't.
But we are manufacturers, and
save you the middleman's pro-
fits.
That's the best reason why we
can do better for you than 9th
or houses.
You will flnd this out X you
deal with us once.
Once man buys our clothing,
he will always conclude that it
it folly to look around again
before purchasing.
That's why we are making SO
many new regular customers.
We refund money for anything
we sell which does not please
you after you have it home. =

refusing to shake hands.
Wilson was the larger man, but Harris
is well built and gentleman of no little
pretensions with the mittens. Everything
was ready for the first round and the COM
batants went at it. 1t was biff, bang, all
the way through, and when time was
called Tor the end oil the first round it was
hard to tell VINO had got first blood.
There was not 30 much science in the

night, but it was fully as exciting. There
were body blows, upper cuts, shorl-arm

Meeting Held in the Morning to Hear
the Report of the Finance
Committee

The long-expected resignation OF Direc-
tor Holden of the Lick Observatory was
read yesterday afternoon at the regular
meeting of the Board of University Re-
gents. The communication spoke of the
various Improvements in the astrono mi-
cal departments during his connection
with the observatory, and hoped that the
ro>perity and progresslveness that had
long characterized it would continue. He
also begged the board that his resgna-
ton be accepted and that it should go
into effect on January l, the time his
leave OF absence expires.
r gent Slack moved that Professor
Holden's resignation be accepted and the
measure was carried by unanimous vote.
President Kellogg made a motion that
was carried unanimously that Astrono-
mer James Shaeberle, who is now taking
Director Holden's place. be appointed
acting director until the first of the COM
ing year.
1t now remains for the Governor and
the Board OF Regents to appoint some one

sent all over the State to the various
Christian Endeavor societies asking for
their help and cooperation.
For some years past the building has
been used as a Chinese lodging ouse, and
is in such a condition that it will have to
be entirely remodeled before it caa be
used. Consequently it has been placed in
the hands of Architect G. A. Bord well,
who will reconstruct the house. A large
skylight will be put in, so as to tighten the
dark and gloomy Railways.
The first floor will be used for the
chapel and schoolrooms. The basement
may be converted into gymnasium, that
is II sufficient money can be raised. The
society, which has been in the field for
more than twenty-six years, has always
wanted to be able to help the Chinese
mothers and children. DR.. Pond hopes
by letting them have bright, sunny lodg-
lngs Tor the same money they are now
paying for their wretched novels q great
deal of good may be done.
The whole of the third and part of the
second floor of the mission will be used for
these families. The top floor will be
occupied by two Chinese clubs of young
men. The Congregational Church Asso-
citation, which numbers 800 strong, will
have their offices on the second floor.
DR.. Pond and the Rev. Jee Gam, who
acts as his assistant, are very enthusiastic
over the great work which will now be
made possible. The old Mission Home
on the same street will be used until the
new building is ready for occupancy.
