SHE GOT HER BAGGAGE.
Mrs. Isa abeuA Bishop Was Self PoS'
 Hesaed Traveller.

Mrs. Isabella Bishop Was Self FoA'
 aessed Traveller.
 Mrs. IsabellA Bishop, whose travels fin different parts of the world secured for her membership in the British Roy al Geographical society. visited Amerl' ca when she was a young woman. She was unused to travel and was alone when she had the following eEperi- ence:
 Once in a train going to New York she was dreadfully tired. and yet she had a feeling that if she went to sleep the man sitting next her would DICK her pocket. She struggled for some time against her inclination to sleep; but, having for moment given way she awakened to feel the hand or her neighbor gently withdrawing her purse from her pocket.
 In her purse, besides some money which was, comparatively speaking or small moment. was her baggage check That was the only thing that really mattered. If she accused her neigh0or of theft. nothing was simpler for hlin than to drop the purse out of the open window beside which he was sitting. No: she determined she would leave any interference until they arrived at their destination.
 She secured the services of porter and, with apparent calmnesS, followed her travelling companion down the platform. Having described her bag gage to the porter, she ut the critical moment bowed slightly to the pick pocket and, with an airy smile, said. This gentleman has my baggage check" And be immediately presented It to her

"In reply to your letter 1 write you my experience, and you are privileged 10 use it aS you see it. Last year, after having my little girl treated by 8 very prominent physician for an obstl- nate case of eczema, 1 resorted to the Cuticura Remedies, and was SO well pleased with the almost instantaneous relief afforded that We discarded the physicians prescription and relied en- tirely on the Cuticura Soap, Cutlcura Ointment, and Cuticura Pills. When We commenced with the Cuticura Rem edies her feet and limbs were covered with running sores. In about SIX weeks We had her completely well, and there has been no recurrence Of the trouble.
 "In July of this year little boy in our family poisoned his hands and arms with poison oak, and In twenty-tour hours his hands and arms were mass of torturing sores. We used only the Cuticura Remedies, washing his hands and arms with the Cuticura Soap, and anointed them with the Cuticura Oint- ment, and then gave him the CutIcura Resolvent. In about three weeks bis hands and arms healed up; so we have lots of cause for feeling grateful for the Cuticura Remedies. We find that the Cuticura Remedies are 8 valuable household standby, living ss We do twelve miles from 8 doctor, and where it costs from twenty 10 twenty-five dol lars to come up on the mountain Respectfully, Mrs. Lizzie Vincen.

to erect on the southwest corner of
Broadway and Eighth streets, but they
are not decided about the details of the
interior arrangements.
The new department store will be the
largest and most complete retail empo~
rum in the country west of Chicago.
1t will cover lot having frontage
of 305 IL feet on Broadway, 100 feet
on Eighth street, extending through to
Hill street, on which street the frontage
will be 12O feet, with possibly an in
crease of so feet on that thoroughfare.
The estimated cost of this great i'm
provement, for the seven-stOry build
ing and basement, is $1,0OO,O00. Every
department of a modern emporium will
be under the roof of the immense
structure, the Hamburgers having
planned to secure about 100000 square
feet of floor space.
For over a month large force of
men and teams has been engaged in
making the excavation for the base
ment. This is n great undertaking of
itself, and while the contractor has
been busy directing the men on the
job, comparatively little result in the
digging and hauling is shown. The
contractor says it will take about two
months longer to remove the dirt.

All Los Angeles realty dealers unite
in the statement that the market con-

be Il record breaker in sales of central

within u few years there will be over
a million people in the city
The Construction News of Chicago

of the country for the month of De-

Los Angeles stands close to the top of
the list in the total of permits, 7S7, and

he had owned the lot for five years,
but as he did not intend to improve 1t
by the erection of a business block,
he decided to let it go for 1890, ,000-an
advance of $252, 500 on the purchase
price of $77, 7,500-and not stand in the
way of any person or syndicate that
might see fit to make suitable improve
ment. 1t is probable that a handsome
eight or ten-story business block will
be erected on the corner. 1T is one of
the best corners in the new business
district, and the early completion of
the improvement suggested would in
Stantly draw crowds of patrons one
block or more further west of Broad
way. Many lines of business are now
represented along West Fifth, Sixth
and Seventh streets, over to Grand ave-
nue. and beyond, but with the erection
of big blocks on Hill and Sixth and the
completion of the Hamburger depart
ment store below Ei. nth through from
Broadway to Hill streets, business gen.
orally will shove over onto Hill street
and nearby thoroughfares. The WIDEN
ing of Grand avenue will also serve to
bring that street below Seventh into
notice as business proposition.
One of the early sales of the past
week of special Importance was the
street, between First and Second
streets. The sale was closed by Mines
e. Parish for Charles a. Keyser, who
sold the property at 136-140 Spring
street to A. Peterson and associates for
$144,000, or at the rate OF $2400 a front
foot. The Improvements are nominal,
three stores below and rooms above.
Good judges of property values assert
that the frontage was secured at a bar
gain. The lot mas a frontage of sixty
feet on the east side of Spring street
and extends through 14S feet to Center
place, formerly known as Mott alley.

Importance to the fortunate residents
of the section, and also TO the residents
of the entire city. Within the past few
weeks the electric line has been double
tracked east on Stephenson avenue
from Boyle Heights avenue to Euclid

and thence still further east a mile to
provide transportation to the cemeter-
