confer upon the seeker after advanced
knowledge the fullest possible reward
which comes of enlightened investigation
under the highest advantages cognizant
to modern science. In the domain of
natural physics, covering all of its many
branches, the California University stands
supreme.
In every department of scientific re-
search relating to the phenomena of ex-
listing life, this grand institution has made
an envia BILE record. In matters extrater-
restrial, dealing with things affecting our
earth, but located beyond its narrow
boundaries, the magnificent astronomical
observatory on Mount Hamilton is the
finest in the Nation. Equipped not only
with the best mechanical appliances and
instruments known to modern scientific
research, but also with a corps of skilled
observers of reputation for learning,
in It's broadest sense of the present time,
it is universally recognized as of the very
highest. An Academy of Science graces
with fitting place the great city OF modern
ideas. Not one of those time-worn and
dusty aggregations of obsolete learning
a museum of back dates-but an up-to-
date school, where the student of nature
may with profit and satisfaction study
and investigate the marvellous forces and
powers of the world he lives in, and be led
TO the formation ofintell1gent conceptions
that shall aid in the betterment of his fell
Iow-men.
A great library offers the priceless treas
ures of its shelves to the acquaintan ceship
OF all who desire to quench their thirst
after knowledge with grateful and re-
freshing draughts. A splendid art school
reveals to the searcher alter the beautiful
unparalleled opportunity to acquire that
facility of fixing for the enjoyment of
others the grand conceptions of inspired
mind. The stability of all future greatness
is dependent upon the training of the
present child. San Francisco early recog-
nized this important truth, and in her ad-
mirable system of high standard public
schools is found the assurance of the per-
petuation of her marvellous growth in all
that marks progress and cultivation. And
each and all of these priceless possibilities
of improvement and enjoyment are the
property of the citizens of San Francisco.
There is no price attached to the acquire
ment of the privileges of employing to the
fullest extent any OF the exceptional ad-
vantages here summarize.
But says the stranger, does not the pres
ence of all these pubic institutions entail
expense? And does not the citizen have
to contribute more largely to the general
fund for their existenceP The best an
swer to such inquiry is found in the fact
that San Francisco has the smallest public
debt of any city of her size, and her tax
rate is lower than any similar city; not
outstanding she has fine public build
ings, whose grandeur and dimensions will
not suffer by comparison elsewhere. That
the true spirit of modern improvement is
understood and applied by her is evil
denced by her low death rate. The excep-
tional salubrity of her climate, its healing
qualities and marked uniformity have

lands than our own enjoy the fruits OF
our production. China Japan, Australia
and India are eating our cereals, building
with our woods, luxuriating on our fruits.
II is not essential in this latter day that
man should confne his labors to the pro-
duction of the necessaries of his immediate
surroundings.
Man often makes use of a country with
out any reference to its agricultural
capacities. He seeks the minerals under
its soil; he turns clay into pottery; he
utiliZes water-power for his factories; he
seeks barren coasts for fshng-in other
words he seeks his gain without reference
to climate or soil. Improved means OF
transportation have increased his COM
mand over nature. He is no longer held
to rivers and valleys as natural highways,
but can seek anu use the most direct and
speediest routes. The cheapness and
celerity and certainty of modern trans
portation give him command over the re-
sources of the world He is able to carry
on his work of production without regard
TO individual production, and is thus
enabled to choose as his workshop and
dwelling place climates and locations
agreeable to his health and fancy. His
intellectual aud emotional desires lead
him to seek large cities, and this he is en-
abled to q by the fact that he can carry
on his occupation independent of his own
particular effort in the line of food-gather
ing. Still he is in a measure subject to
his environments, dependent upon nature;
but the development of his powers has
rendered more elastic the cord which
must always bind him to natures caprices.
Here is the cord more flexible.
1t has often been expressed by many
that the mantle of inspiration occasion
ally falls upon the shoulders of the
mortal and that there is given forth
to men foreshadowing OF the future.
In the early days when human longings
sought their fultillment an unknown
prophet conferred upon our State Its SYM
bolic title, "El Dorado" Every succeed
ing year from that day to the present has
but strengthened the belief in the
genuineness of the inspired exclamation
as applied to California. The mighty
city at the gate of the Orient has kept
apace with the sturdy development of the
happy title. Commerce, health, pleasant
living, literature, art, science, progress
have each and all maintain their steady
march to the creation of the ideal city.
Wealth has come, but without oppres-
sion. Citizenship reigns supreme. The
foundations laid fifty years ago show the
wisdom of the builders, for upon their
broad bases has arisen metropolis which
In its natural growth shall soon eclipse
the proudest city of the world.

SIN FRANCISCO OF TO-DqY
1t Beats the World for Climate, Health,
CheaPness Of Living Schools
and Libraries

THE special advantages or disadYan-
FIX tages attaching to any locality are
,yAgS generally supposed to be known
and understood by the inhabitants of the
locality, and yet no greater fallacy exists
than such belief 1t is extremely doubtful
if one man out of a hundred could give
prompt and intelligent reply 10 the query,
What advantages in life do you possess by
reason of your present residence2
How many of San Francisco's dwellers
are aware of the exceptional advantages
conferred upon them by their residence in
the City of the Golden Cater How many
have compared the cost of living here with
the cost of living elsewhere? AS matter
of actual fact-not sentimental pride in
renowned locality, but hard, positive facts,
proven by careful comparison-the San
Franciscan is surrounded by larger ca
pacity to enjoy life, because of greater
ease in the attainment of its purposes,
than is his less favored felloW-citizen of
other great cities.
In no other city in the world can the
necessities and luxuries of life be obtained
more cheaply than in San Francisco.
Rents are lower here than in any of the
Eastern cities, and owing to the phe-
nomenal character of the climate-its re-
liable habit of eyenness. not too hot nor
too cold, but 'iust right" the item of
fuel Is one Of the smallest which enter
into the consideration of the total cost of
living. The conclusion that San Fran
cisco is the best city for the economical
10 dwell in is proven by comparison OF
The prices of the necessar1es of life here
and elsewhere. The following table is
compiled from the retail market prices
published in the daily papers of the cities
mentioned on Janury 10, 1897. From it
the reader may form a correct judgment
as 20 the foundation upon which rests the
claim for San Francisco's superior advan-
tages as a residence for the thrifty and
economical.

PAINTED IN COURT.
Chita Jackson, Alias Emma Cleverly
Overcome by Judge Dunne's
Decision In Her Case

Chita Jackson, alias Emma Cleverly,
tainted in Judge Dunne's courtroom yes
terday when the Judge decided that she
must 60 back TO court and stand trial for
grand larceny.
Miss CleverIy or Jackson attracted con-
siderable attention at the time OF the
murder of Eugene Ware by declaring that
she saw "a mysterious woman in black"
leaving the premises soon after the crime
was committed. Her story was found to
be untrue. Subsequently she frequented
disreputable resorts and has been several
times arrested for petty crimes, but
hitherto has escaped punishment.
After her commitment in the Police
Court she applied to Judge Dunno for a
writ of habeas corpus on the ground that
she was illegally held to answer. His
Honor gave the testimony careful ex-
animation and concluded that no error
had been made in the court below. When
he announced this decision and ordered
the prisoner remanded to the custody of
the Sheriff she shrieked dismally and fell
in a faint. Bailiff Sullivan applied re-
storatives, and as soon as the lady recov-
cred her usual composure gallantlv
escorted her to her seat in the Black Maria.

The differences in prices of the articles
quoted form powerful argument in favor
of San Francisco. Not only is the poor"
man interested, so the man of moderate
means, and equally so the man of large
means. All are seeking to obtain and en-
Joy the fullest possible pleasure of living
at the minimum cost.
But not alone in the matter of physical
needs is San Francisco superior in ease of
attainment, but also in the possession of
all which ministers to the alta inment of
the highest intellectual improvement and
consequent enjoyment of the esthetic she
stands pre-emlnent. Her schools and

FASTENED If a tedder is used before the
hay is raked especially if the growth is
a very rank one. The value of the hay
will depend upon its being well cured be-
fore the leaves have commenced TO drop
off. Alfalfa will not turn water as readily
as red clover or timothy; hence rain

hard soaking rain will decrease its value
