TEMPORARY LOCATIONS.

The subject of a temporary loca-
, ton was discussed at length. the bur-
den of opinion being that the retailers
should stick together in a certain dis
, trict, rather than fight for space in
various parts of the city. A majority
favored a location on the fringe of
the burned district. From Tenth to
Twelfth on Market was suggested, as
was the district between Van Mass and
Polk on California street. On one
point all members were agreed. The
new district must be near the street.
car lines. Stirring talks We're made
in the interest of unanimity of action,
but no effort will be made to force
houses which have already selected To-
cations to join the movement.
A mild sensation was caused by the
declaration of Alfred Lilienfeld that
firms were being held up for space son
Fillmore street. He demanded that the
retailers appoint their own real estate
agency. to confer with landlords direct.
The chairman appointed the following
committee of three to select ground and
al1ot to each firm as much space as it
may desire: A. B. c. Dohrmann, Frank
l. Turner and r. w. Costello This
committee will report back to the re-
tailerS at a meeting in the near fu-

Madison & Burke, the real estate

where the two concerns, combined ex-

housed within about six weeks, orders
having already been given for the

On the same authority it is an
nounced that another prominent house
has arranged to occupy the northwest
corner of Ellis and Fillmore streets in
about eight weeks. Each of the tracts
to be occupied is a fifty-vara lot.
It was stated upon other authority
yesterday that Hale Brothers will oc-

THE IRONY OF FATE.
To escape death from the calamity
and then to die from eating an orange
would be the irony of fate. Yet it is
the finish the gods nearly melted out
to Walter Dean, the well-known club
man and capitalist residing at 1915
Cough street. Mr.. Dean came through
the great shake and the blaze that fol-
lowed unscathed. Friday evening
while eating an orange a section of
the fruit stuck in his throat So tightly
that all his efforts to dislodge it were
vain. He struggled for breath, grew
black in the face and finally fell on
ed consciousness the bit of orange was
lying beside him on the carpet. having
been elected by the action of his throat
muscles.-Examiner
WANTED HIS BREAKFAST.
Standing on the corner of Eddy and
Mason five minutes after the quake
was a stalwart young man of about
twenty years. His attire was scanty,
consisting OF a suit of underwear. and
his face. like every other face, showed
the terror which had possession of
him.
A friend standing near-evidently a
to him and said:
Well. what are You going to do?'' The
youth struggled to speak and finally
when he had got his chattering teeth
stilled, he burst out: I'm going to
eat a big breakfast this morning. -
