KIopdike Gold.

Speaking of the Klondike, The Engi. neering and Mining Journal says "When the ten millions or so of dollars come down from there next year, don't get excited, but remember they are the sole product of years labor of from 5000 to 5000 men, who cannot afford to work gravel that yields less than one ounce of gold per man per day. If those who think of going to the Yukon coun- try to get rich will work as hard and undergo as many privations here at home in the pursuit of money, they will, we have no doubt, be richer at the end of five years here than will be the average of those who go to Klondike. The Klondike is not nearly as rich as California was in 1850 nor as many districts in California and some other statss afs today. 1"

 "What are you going there for?"
 "Shure, l am going there to join the police force and get big pay for the same.
 You can pass out, said Commits sioner Hughes, and the big, good na. tured Celt picked up his bundles and walked out the door of the immigrant station looking the picture of content ment. nt.-Philadelphia Times

ST. MARY's ASSOCIATION.
It's Aims Are Announced to Be on the
Eve of Accomplishment.

A well-attended meeting of the st.
Marys Square Association was held in
the basement Of St. Mary's Church last
evening. George d. Shadburne, presid-
ing, announced that the search of title
was in the hands of a prominent firm,
and expressed the opinion that, within
the next three weeks. a suit of condemna-
ton would be brought. The support of
the police had. he said, been assured; the
property owners, with perhaps three ex-
ceptions, were in accord with the asso-
ciation and he believed that by June next
the square would be n fixed fact.
City and County Treasurer Refs OF the
executive committee expressed the opin-
ion that the object of the association was
in a fair way of accomplishment, and
was followed by few encouraging words
from A. Sbarboro. Father Otis then de-
livered a short informal address.

FORCED TO ACT.
Segregation Of City Funds Agreed
Upon.

The Finance Committee of the Board
of Supervisors has suddenly changed
front regarding the introduction of the
long delayed resolution segregating the
funds of the various departments of the
city government and tomorrow, accord
ing to Supervisor Devany, will bring the
matter before the board for action.
ut was all mistake that the resolu-
ton was not presented before" explained
Mr. Devany TO a Call reporter. Il am
a member of the Finance Committee and
know whereof I speak. Probably the
clerk overlooked it at the last meeting"
The explanation of the new attitude of
the committee is found, however, in the
publication Of a recent article in The Call
calling attention to the remarkable delay
in segregating the funds. This delay Oc-
casioned much comment around the city
building, and 1t was openly charged that
there was iobbery behind It.
At to-m0rroWs session of the board
MAYOR Phelan will present another veto
covering the September bills of the San
Francisco Gas and Electric Company, for
gas charged at 1882 and electric lights
al $685. The reason assigned for the
veto is substantially the same as that
given in former vetoes of gas and cleo
fric bills, viz, that the contract is Illegal.

A Good Time at the Annual Mask
Ball at Odd Fellows Hall.

There was a warm time at Odd Fell
lows Hall last night. The California
State Protective Association of Liquor
Dealers gave it's annual masquerade ball,
and to say that those who were there en-
joyed themselves would be an unneces-
sary use of words From the time the
line formed for the grand march at 10
o'clock until the very late hours this
morning the fun was fast and furious;
The usual number of clowns, devils and
savages flirted with queens, Iopsys'
pages and peasants, while the, ubiqui-
tous tramp and the almond-eyed emma
man afforded amusement for the on
lockers in the gallery.
Among the most attractive new cos
tunes was the voting booth lady, who
wore mimic house on her head and mad
a dress made of election cards. Her get
up was unique and up-t9c,date and at t.
tracted much attention. The success or
the ball was largely due to the untiring
efforts of j. b. Garland, Henry Peard,
James Thomey and Z. A. Fischer of the
committee on arrangements, WINE
Charles Knapp and James Kilday OF the
reception committee and Rudy FIshback.
Fred Maillot and T. r. Glynn of the floor
committee gave material aid in carrying
II TO a pleasurable conclusion.

THREE STORES BURNED.
A Costly Blaze in the Central Part of
the Business Portion of Berkeley.

BERKELEY. Oct. 22.-Fire broke out
about 10 o'clock this morning in the VIII
hanson block on Shattuck avenue. be-
tween Center street and AllstOn way. For
two hours and more the flames spread,
consuming most of the interior of the
building and destroying property to the
value OF $4,000.
The Williamson block is composed of
three stores on the lower floor and a
large hall used by the Christian Church
on the upper. The blaze IS supposed to
have started in a small closet in the rear
Of Wiliamson's paint and varnish house.
Within a short time the Berkeley Nolun-
teer Fire Department had turned out in
full force, but from the difficulty of at
first locating the flames it some
time before the blaze could be brought
under control.
The University French laundry, owned
by NJ. CapdeVille, was destroyed, the en-
ployes having barely time to save the
clothes. Westerdahls furniture-store is
a complete wreck, as is also the Chris
tian Church. occupying the second floor.
The loss is for the most part covered by

OF ART TREASURES
CHOICE COLLECTION OF DANISH
PAINTINGS.
Culled From the Best Works of Ferdi-
nand Rickardt-Now on Exhibit
ton at the California
Hotel.

In the banquet hall of the California
Hotel there is on exhibition a collection
of paintings by Ferdinand Rickardt.
These paintings comprise all the unsold
works of this Danish artist and are to be
sold at auction on Wednesday and Thurs
day, October &c and q.
Mr.. LeutholtZ. the owner of the collec-
ton. says they must be sold and let us
hope that some public spirited individual
may purchase one or more of the paint
ings for the public galleries in San Fran
cisco. 1t is not often that the opportunity
presents itself 10 purchase such paintings
as are shown In this collection.
Mr. Rickardt was commissioned by
King Oscar of Sweden to decorate the
royal palace at Stockholm. Besides he
was commissioned to paint certain MS
toric and picturesque scenes in Sweden.
One of the finest paintings in the col
lection was painted at this time. 1t shows
the palace of BjOrkhOm on a peninsula
In the distance, and with the sunset ngnt.
The artist is particularly happy IN his Qls-
tant effects and In this instance has
caught all the charm of early evening
with the human sentiment OF the palace
home.
There are other paintings which Califor-
mans may appreciate more. taken from
views in our own State. There is one
painted after the Dutch school In gray
greens. a scene on Clear Lake. Another

cattle in the foreground and the Testful

". K. Vanderbilt commissioned Mr.. Rick
ardt TO come to America and make for
him some paintings of Niagara Falls
There are some of his best from this sub
ject in the collection.
Mr. Rickardt's style is in some Of the
paintings of the old school and rather
fiat in comparison with his later works.
AS in the works of every great artist
some of his pictures are insignificant. but
in this collection are at least a dozen
truly great ones. The pictures are on eX-
hibition at the California Hotel and will
more than repay visit.

There seems to have been an idea that
this Grand Jury was impaneled this year,
but it was sworn in on December q OF last

be two grand juries impaneled in each

grand jurors significantly saying, WHAT s

many indictments offered and the failure
to convict on all counts that have been
returned.

and also many recommendations: The
