Col. ROOSEVELT is on his way

pick up n diploma or two and to
give advice gratis to applauding

that thefatted calf be killed. but,

THE echo of complaint against
Governor Mann for committing.
the death sentence of Sam. p

cry OF "blood" from the dead

the Governor to have been not

HAVE A new HOME
Handsome Class A Building to
Be Erected at McAIIister and
Jones Streets

Prayer & Co. are about to erect a
three story, class A store building on
the site of their present store, with
Jones streets. opposite the structure
owned and occupied by the Hibernfa
savings and loan society.
The preliminary step has, been taken
by the issuance of a permit to build.
In the permit the costIof construction
is estimated at $125,000. The plans have
been prepared by an architect and have
been approved
The land holding occupied by Prayer
& Co. is one of the larger ones In that
part of the city. having very large
frontages in Market and Jones streets.
1t has the additional advantage of be-
ing at street junction, where three
we'll travelled thoroughfares come to-
'gether- There are passing car lines on
all three of the frontages.
This strategic trade position made
Prayer & Co. come to the conclusion
that it was good policy to build there
very soon after the fire of 1906 A tenn
porary structure, entirely covering the
large lot, was erected as soon as pos
sible and for time it was conspicu-
Gus because of Its early appearance in
neighborhood that was very little
improved in other respects. The tenn
porary structure of wood has been -oc-
cupied something more than three
years In the meantime, Market street
at that point has so far resumed it's
old activity and the prospects for the
future are so assuring that the firm
has been fully vindicated in its .judg-
ment
All the latest ideas in store construc-
ton. so it is said will be embodied
in the building to be erected The
front will be largely of plate glass,
with metal frames and with ornaraenta
effects, while the interior will be
furnished effectively and handsomely.
All the problems pertaining to the
site and to the uses to which the store
will be devoted have been carefully
thought out The Prayer building will
be one of the largest in floor room in
San Francisco

Professor Napoleon's Dream" was
presented for the second time last
evening at the Valencia. with a chorus
just as captivating as that of the ini-
tial= production. If the dream had been
but a vision of color the spectacular
success was assured. for the myriads of
varicolored costumes merge into a glo-
rious scene that fingers in the meml
ory There are the catchy songs, how
ever. that are quite as haunting and
there is the individual talent that is
displayed, one might say, in profusion.
The principals are all gifted and the
characters are excellently sustained.
Joe Rosborough, as the wizard is a
central figure that overshadows many
a Mephisto on the professional stage,
and his demoniac laugh will be remem-
bered among the best things of the
show
The witches and spooks that accom-
pany him in his appearance on the Va
lencia stage are a fascinating lot in
their spangled gowns of black and gold
and green. The spooks, like all self
respecting elves, are in black and white,
fascinating in the extravaganza. The
high pointed caps and mysterious ges-
lures are an attractive feature of the
uncanny scene that introduces the va
garies of Phiz. Mr.. Phiz, as he is
named on the program, by the way, is
Alden Wheeler, who displays unusual
dramatic possibilities, and he is a sue
cess as the antiquated teacher of
physics and chemistry.
The sextet written by George de
Long. who conducts the orchestra
while his composition is sung, is one
OF the cleverest bits ofbmusic from his
faciie pen. The -'Milkmaids and Eel
lows" are a picturesque group in their
pastoral costumes and sing the "Bu
collie Fantasy" with more than ordinary
cleverness.
BiIliken, the god of things as they
are. is a college mascot that might have
been a tradition of the institution,
since he is at home either on his little
throne or doing remarkable hand
springs for the edification of the re-
iuvenated professor in the second part
of the program.
There will be matinee and an even
ing performance next Saturday and al
most every group will dine at the St.
Francis that evening, where the hotel
will be decorated entirely with college
penants TO celebrate the occasion.

Mayor Mccarthy completed the
rounds of his adopted official family
yesterday. and with the best of good
humor told them severally and jointly
either to get Sout or be kicked out.
The net result of the days carnage
was summed up in the brief bulletin
from headquarters: Many have prom
ised but none has resigned"
After his days labors, the mayor
went to a banquet. The. commissioners
didn't. A few Of the more belligerent
accepted Henry Payot's invitation to
a conference. They talked of the
charter and the law. While they real
ized they could take little comfort
from either. they were strong for stand
ing by the ship and going down with
the band playing. The descension is
scheduled for about next Saturday.
Notice of evacua ton was served upon
the election commission before the
may Or went to Monterey. Tuesday the
exit signs were lighted for the benefit
of the police, health and education
boards Yesterday the park, civil serv-
ice and fire commissioners were shown
the way to the marble slide.
Robert p. Troy of the park com
mission expressed himself as perfectly
willing to slide He had so indicated
TO the mayor In a letter under date of
December 2s.
II beg to say" he wrote at that time,
If you And at the time of your advent
into Office that my resignation as park
commissioner will facilitate the promo
tion OF your policies / shall cheerfully
place 1t In your hands The mayor
has evidently so found. sase
Dohrmann. Landers and Branden-
stein were not so obliging. They said
they would think it over. Branden-
stein, however, was frank to admit
that he did not believe himself well
buttressed by law"
II do not know whether / shall re-
sign or wait for my dismissal he said.
There is nothing TO 1t, though" he
added. Under the decision in the San
Diego case. the mayor has the power
of removal"
Payot will not cooperate with Nc
Carthy to the extent of resigning. He
has been in office but couple of weeks
and intends to put Mccarthy to the
trouble of conjuring up some cause
for his removal.
There were only formalities ex-
changed between the mayor and my
self" said Payot HE asked me TO
consideration. That was ALL
1t may tax the ingenuity of the chief
ma gistrate to ascribe cause" for his
numerous removals. Still, If he likes,
he may dismiss this one because of the
cut of his clothes and that one for the
color. of his eyes. 1t is enough under
the. charter.
Under the shelter of the welfare
fund little group Of officials still
hopes to enforce the spirit of the char
ter.
