SlEG[[- COOPER XMAS.
and Brilliant Deco
rations Attracting Crowds
From in and Out ofTown.

Perhaps one OF the best evidences Of
Christmas and the Christmas shopper Is
to be found at the big Siegel-Cooper es-
Enlistment. Sixth venue and Eighteenth
street. Even within fifty or a hundred
feet of the store is this evidence manifest
by the dense crowd which throngs the
windows. surging to and fro with every
new conner.
But to begin with, it is really from the
elevated station that the Christmas evil
dence begins. AS the train draws into
the station from the uptown. and out OF
the station from the downtown side, Santa
Claus in all his glory bursts upon the
view IN a series of realistic pictures over
the portico of Siegel-Cooper's doors. Here
jolly Santa Claus is portrayed, In a wax
figure of enormous growth. in his work
room. then racing over roofs and other
obstacles with his lightning reindeer sleds,
and lastly in the home. where the stock
ings hang ready receptacles for his gener-
osity.
Then from the level of the street the
windows of this big store form the chief
attraction. These windows have all been
done in white and gold fresco with figures
in bas relief, a work of art in themselves,
each pillar beirg wound with colored ivy
leaves, and the whole lit with colored
electric lights.
From these windows a good, though by
no means complete. idea of the wares
displayed inside may be gained. There
are whole windows devoted to ladies'
suits. toys, leather goods, bric-a-brac and
statuary. silverware, perfumery, books,
mems suits, shoes, music and what not,

THE PEOPLE OWN
THE TRANSFERS
They Have the Undoubted Right %
Give Them Away.

Judge Mogan does not believe in city
ordinances connected with corporations
making unreasonable burdens upon the
citizens, and from that standpoint he yes
terday dismissed the case of Michael
Freeman, a boiler-maker. charged with
giving away a transfer of the Market
street Railroad Company.
Last Sunday Freeman took a car to the
park, intending to go to the Cliff House
When he reached Haight and Stanyan
streets he decided to go to the park and
gave his transfer to a boy. He was ar
rested, and the case was argued before
the Judge yesterday. Attorney Kelly for
the company read the ordinance, which
says that no person shall tissue, deliver,
give or sell or offer to deliver, give or
sell any transfer, check or ticket" He
contended that the transfer ticket was
given as a privilege to be used only by
the individual to whom it was issued
Attorney McGregor for the Defendant
argued that the transfer belonged to the
passenger and he had right to dispose
OF 1t as he saw fit. The Judge took that
view of the matter, holding that the
ticket was given in lieu of the nickel. He
said 1t might be different with the person
who got the transfer from the passenger,
but that point was not at issue He did
not believe in ordinances being passed to
impose unreasonable burdens upon the
citizens. He therefore dismissed the case.

POSTUM CEREAL.
A TEACHERS DUTY
Extends to Food and Drink.

1 noticed TWO of my little pupiIs
brother and sister, when reaching up
FOR a book or any article that l desired
to hand TO them, trembled more or less
from the fingers to the shoulder.
hnally concluded this was not shy
ness, but was really some physical
trouble, and upon inquiring 1 discov-
cred that they were in the habit of
drinking coffee every morning for
breakfast. 1 warned the children to
leave off the coffee. for / knew it was
the cause of their trouble, and would
ruin them if continued in. / always
urge children to use Postum Food Cof-
fee, for 1 know that to be healthful
strengthening and a perfectly natural
liquid food. A short time thereafter
the little folks spoken of were entirely
well of their slight palsy.
1t is a distressing state of affairs
where parents permit children to use
ordinary coffee.
Many cases have come to my notice
where the taste of Postum was not
liked, but in all such cases the dislike
arises from the failure TO properly boil
it. 1t is a very tasteless liquid when
underboiled, and very delicious,
strong, rich, satisfying coffee when
boiled long enough TO bring out the
favor and food value DR.. Helen Coe,

STUDENTS ON
A HUNT FOR A
NIGHT SCHOOL
Seeking Learning Un-
der Difficulties.
DIRECTOR HEADS WORK
THE NEIGHBoRING SCHOOLS
ALL CROWDED.
Pupils Circulate a Petition to Be
Presented to the Board of
Education This Even
ing.

The unusual spectacle of a band of
students hunting for a school was wit
messed in the Mission last Monday even
ing. It was occasioned by the sudden
closing of the Mission Evening School last
Friday, by order of Director Head of the
Board of Education. The eighty pupils
assembled at the schoolhouse Monday
night and awaited the opening of the
doors. Becoming weary of the long de-
lay they went in a body to the residence
of one of their teachers and were told that
their school had gone out of business and
that they could go either to the Horace
Mann School on Valencia and Twenty
fifth streets, or to the Franklin school on
Eighth street. near Bryant, both insti-
tutions eight blocks away.
The boys tramped down to the Horace
Mann and found it crowded. They then
marched to the Franklin, where the same
condition Of affairs was encountered
Then they quit.
A H. Hutchinson, editor of "Our
YOUTH published at 1914 Howard street
wrote to the Superintendent of Schools
relative to the matter and received the
following reply:
SAN FRANCISCO Cal, January 49, 1899
A. H. Hutchinson 1914 Howard Street City
Dear Sir: Your letter at hand and permit me
to say in reply that 1t is the policy OF the
present Board of Education to, as far as possi-
Bile, curtaii the expenses of our department. L
pupils enrolled in the bookkeeping class To
retain this teacher and class would beS in
direct violation OF the resolution of the Board
of Education. Glasses in bookkeeping are
conducted in the Horace Mann Evening school
Lincoln Evening and Business Evening Those
pupils who were affected by this consolidation
may attend any OF these schools Trusting
that you will consider this just, / am, very
respectfully yours, C. w MARK.
Deputy Superintendent
The students have circulated the fol-
lowing petition through the Mission.
which will be presented TO the Board of
Education this evening:
To the Honorable Board of Education-We
the undersigned residents of the Mission
whose children attend the Mission Night
School petition your honorable body not to
close the same. for the following reasons:
l. Both the Horace Mann and the Franklin
Schools too far away for most of the
children attending to walk to in time and
working boys, and girls cannot afford to pay
car fare.
2 Both the Horace Mann and the Franklin
Schools are so crowded that IL will be impos-
sible for additional scholars to obtain neces-
sary explanations and personal attention from
the teachers, while large classes are generally
dsorderly
g. The transfer at this time, even If the
scholars could attend, would put the children
back so far in their lessons that it would be
dscouraging and might prevent some from
further attempting to obtain an education un-
der such discouraging conditions.

The following letter to Mrs. Pink
ham from Mrs. M. RANK, No. 1884
East Susquehanna Ave, Philadelphia,
Pa, is remarkable statement of re-
lief from utter disbursement. She
says:
" / never can find words with which
to thank you for what Lydia E. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound has done
for me.
" Some years ago II had womb trouble
and doctored for a long time, not see
ing any improvement. AT times l
would feel well enough, and other
times was miserable. So it went on
until last October, 1 felt something
terrible creeping over me, knew not
what, but kept getting worse. / can
hardly explain my feelings at that
time. l was SO depressed in spirits
that did not wish to live, although 1
had everything to live for. Had hys-
terra, was very nervous; could not
sleep and was not safe to be left
alone.
" indeed, | thought would lose nv
mind. No one knows what endured.
:" l continued this way until the last
OF February, when | saw in a paper a
testimonial of lady whose case was
similar to mine, and who had been
cured by Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegeta-
Bile Compound. | determined to try it,
