A liberal education Is the prize of fndi-

FACTORY DISTRICT
 VISITED BY FIRE
Miller & HanniltOn's Establish ment Completely Gutted
 by Flames.
Adjoining Properties Also Damaged Estimated That S15,OOO Will
 Cover the Loss.

Miller & Hamilton's door and sash fac tory, 413-415 Mission street, and adjoin- ing properties were damaged by fire last evening to the extent of 1000. The flames broke out through the roof of the factory about 6:45 o'clock. The glare of the blaze against the sky warned Officer Harry O'Dea, and he turned in an alarm from box 261. When the department ar rived the factory, which was a fiimsy frame building, was a seething furnace of flame and a second alarm was ordered turned in.
 Within very few minutes after the first alarm was sounded the water tower was placed near the burning building and water was about to be turned on the flames, when an accident occurred which delayed matters a few minutes and whereby several men narrowly escaped serious injury. A telephone wire snap ped from the heat and fell across a troll ley wire and communicated the current to the iron tower. As the wire fell across the trolley it struck Daniel Donovan, one knocked him down. His injuries were not serious, however, and he soon regained his feet. Several other firemen were shocked and for a time nothing could be done. Finally Charles Remschel re- moved the charged wire and the tower was put in operation.
 By this time the flames had communi- cated to Carl F. Haas wood and ivory works. AT Mission street, and that build ing was soon burning briskiy. Henry Sanders & Co.'S cooperage establish ment adjoining also caught, but the flames were eXtinguished before 1t had been damaged to any great extent. Water from the tower and several hand nozzles was kept playing on the flames for half an hour before they showed any signs of its effects. In about an hour, however. the blaze was under control and soon died out.
 The only thing that saved the entire block from destruction was a fire wall between the door and sash factory and the Mechanics mill, which is owned by

When a mans strength and vigor is slowly wasting away from nervous weakness, the mental forebodings are ten times worse than the most severe pain. There is no let up to the mental suffering day or night. For years the writer rolled and tossed on the troubled sea of Nervous Debility, Emissions, Lame Back and the various other troubles of Sexual Weakness, until it was a question whether he had not better take a dose of poison and thus end all his troubles. But providential Inspiration came to his aid in the shape of a combination of medicines that completely restored his general health and enlarged his weak, emaciated narts to natural size and vigor, and he now declares that any man, young or old. who will take the trouble to esnd his name and address may have Free full particulars of this wonderful home treatment which quickly restored me to my full strength and vigor of youth.

Wells, Russell Go. The Mechanics mill is frame building, dry as a finder and filled with extremely inflammable timber and had it caught water would have been Of little avail. Chief Sullivan saw such 10 be a fact, and he reserved a great DOT ton of his water to prevent the flames spreading in that direction, and owing to his Judgment the fire was confined to a very small area, considering the nature of the material of which the buildings were constructed.
 It is estimated that s150O0 will cover the entire loss. Miller & Hamiltons fac tory was completely gutted. and all the machinery is a loss The building, which was, as were the other damaged build ings. owned by the Samuel Meyer estate. is all but a mass of charred timbers and will not admit of reconstruction. So far as known the only insurance on the dam aged property is 5000, which is held by Miller 6S Hamilton. Insurance com panies charged 9 per cent for insurance on property in the neighborhood of the fire, and owing to the high rate but few took out policies, and in consequence the loss to the owners is almost complete.

Growing Belief That a Murder Has Been
 Committed.
Evidence Is Now Filing Up in the Case of Joseph
 RaeSide.
The State and the Knights May Offer a Liberal Reward for
 Evidence.
Oakland Office San Francisco Call


 90S Broadway, Jan. IS. The idea that Joseph Raeside's death was the result of suicide or acci- dent is daily growing less acceptable to the authorities as the evidence piles up. Governor Budd has expressed his willingness to offer a reward, and the Knights Templar may also hold out an inducement to any one who has infor- nation to come forward and give it to the police.
 Additional evidence has been obtain ed, and Coroner Baldwin is more cer- tain than ever that Raeside came to his death at the hands of others. De tective Denny Holland found a man at Shell Mound last evening who is posi- tive that he heard a scream on the track about twenty minutes before the train passed that killed Raeside or that passed over him after he had been killed by others. This evidence strengthens the theory that Raeside was sandbagged and robbed before be- ing placed on the track.
 One of the main reasons for believ- ing that Raeside was robbed is that no money was found on him. whereas it is known that on the day preceding his death he made a good winning at the races and was well supplied with money. Coroner Baldwin Is certain that Raeside was murdered and is anX- ious to see a substantial reward of fered

ORPHEUM CIRCUIT GOES EASTWARD Manager Walter Leases a Large Kansas City
 TheateP. Extension of the Business Will Brinu Greater Stars to the Far
 West

The Orpheum of this city has enlarged its circuit by taking in Kansas City Ne gotiations have just been closed with the well-known Ninth-street Theater by which all the Orpheum attractions here will appear there.
 Speaking of the matter yesterday, Press Agent Moore said: 'To keep pace with the times Manager Walter has leased the Ninth-street Theater at Kansas City It will now be regularly on the Orpheum circuit, along with Los Angeles and Sac ramento. This simply means that the time occupied by great stars will be short ened here It also means that we shall be able to get better attractions, for the req son that the big stars cannot De obtained Tor less than about eight weeks. That is usually too long run, for the biggest of them wear out house in that length of time. Now at least a week will be taken off from the time of the stars Every new house we open cuts off at least a week The deal at Kansas City has just been concluded"
 Though nothing on the subject has been set forth by the Orpheum management 1t is understood that one of the reasons for the new efforts of Mir. Walter is to cut off any possible competition in the vaude- vile line in this city. It is generally un- derstood that every house added to the circuit gives the manager that much of an advantage over all competitors.

Ballington and His Father Have Not Buried the
 Hatchet.
There May Be Renewal of the War Between Father
 and Son.
Volunteers Fear That the Generals Friends Are Circulating Evil
 Reports.

That there is trouble ahead between General Booth and the Ball1ngton Booth factions of that form of reiig- ion of which the general is said to be the founder, there is no longer any ques- tion in the minds of those who know the situation.
 Mutterings of the coming storm may already be heard by those whose ears are not. dull There are many signs which have a meaning to those who know the meaning Of signs. The ar is full of rumors, and while there IS no open warfare there are mutterlngs that cannot be mistaken. There may be a rupture by the time General Booth reaches San Francisco, in two weeks.
 In the ranks of the friends of Bal lington Booth there are those Of strong feelings who cannot resist the tempta- tion to do little talking out of school. These shake their heads, as much as to indicate that they might say something if they dared. And some of them do say that the old generals schemes for c0loniZing the poor were signal fail rres in India. It is also said that he had financial swamps which were hard to swim in the United Kingdom, where his stock is not selling at the same premium It was III the pioneer uayS.
 It is now feared that the friends of General Booth, though this fear is ex- pressed in the most guarded manner. will say something or do something by reason of his coming which will cause hard feelings. Fearing that there may be something said which will put it in bad light, the Ballington Booth fac tion of the great religious movement has taken steps to counteract any dam aging statements that may be made.
 A circular was distributed through out the city yesterday. bearing the sig natures Of Maud and Ballington Booth, which sets forth at length the causes that led them to leave the army. This circular states that some of the friends of General Booth have circulated one sided reports of the trouble, and that these put the Ballington Booth people in a bad light
 If there should be any severe state ments made by the generals friends ,'' said a strong leader of the other faction yesterday, there will of necessity be many counter statements, and the whole discussion will be reopened. all of which we would greatly regret"
