BUYERS OF FURNITURE ARE PROTECTED! First—In the responsibility of this house. Second—In the excellence of the goods sold. Third—In the absolute certainty that the prices are lowest. Our methods of doing business have been a greal convenience toj city and country buyers alike. We have brought manufacturers and buyers closer together, andl for our pains are often accused by our competitors of ruining the‘l furniture business of San Francisco.

[ y | Differs From the Ohio Law De- clared Unconstitutional by the Federal Court. e Spectal Dispatch to The Call. SAN DIEGO, Feb. 24—In a decision on { a demurrer to-day in the Superior Court | Judge Torrence practically decided the | case of J. Goldtree against John D. | Spreckels in favor of the defendant, leav- | ing the plalntiff nothing on which to stand in court. The suit was brought to re- | strain the defendant from applying to the | Treasurer of Coronado for a tax deed to a lot of the plaintiff previously sold for a | delinquent street assessment tax levied | against the lot for the grading, paving | and sidewalking of Orange avenue. The principal contention made by plaintiff's counsel was that the street improvement |law of this State commonly known as the | | Vrooman act was unconstitutional, and ilherefore that all the proceedings under | which the improvement of Orange avenue | was made were void. | Federal Court Quoted. | goIn support of the claim that the Vroo- | man act was unconstitutional the plaintiff | pleaded that the decision of the Federal { court in the case of Norwood vs. r | declares that the street laws, such as tk | Vrooman act, are unconstitutional in thai |1t sald that the only principle which jus- | tified the levying of special assessments | on private property for street improve- | ments was based on the assumption that the property assessed was specially bene- fited to the extent of the assessment made upon it, and where a statute prescribed an arbitrary rule of assessment without regard to the question whether the prop- erty assesse would be benefited or " mot, that such a statute invalid as _ contravening the |of the Federal constitution. The | Norwood-Baker decision has practically stopped street work throughout the State | which had been going on entirely under | the provisions of the Vrooman act.” It was under the permission of this same Vroo- man act that the defendant was about to | acguire title to the lots in dispute. + Judge Torrence, however, holds that the Vrooman act is entirely dissimilar to the Ohio State law, that t;w Federal de- cision does not touch it, that the Legis- lature of this Stzte had In view the prin- | ciple that special assessments can only be | levied to the extent of special benefits and | that the Btate Legislature intended thar the legislative bodies of the different munlclgllllles of the State should be gov- erned by that principle, and, in ordering street improvements and levying assess- ments therefor should only do so when it appeared to them that the special as- sessments would not exceed ‘the special was clause Norwood case did not apply to the Vroo- man act. He also holds that the Vroo- man act %"" the lot-holder the oppor- tunity to be heard, which the Ohio law does not give, and Which was one of {he principal reasons why the Ohlo law was not upheld. Differs From Ohio Law. The Judge asserts that the very de- cision of the Federal Court knocking out the Ohio law IS a Strong support of the view that the Vrooman, or California law, would not be knocked out by the samd tribunal. He therefore holds that the law is constitutional and that Mr. Spreckels is entitled under it to apply for tha deeq to the property. The opinion delivered by Judge Torrence practically determines the merits of the case and also a number of other cases of like character pending in his dsp-irtlmenit. i ecision is a very important o; and if ugheld by the higher courts w?fi sustain the validity of numerous titles to real estate which depend for their validity up?n the constitutionality of the Vrooman act.

A loan of $157,000 was made this week | by the estate of A. C. Whitcomb to the 0Odd Fellows' Hall Association on the property on the south corner of Market and Seventh streets. The assoclation had ying 6% and 6 per cent on the loan, ¢ one for a large amount but is secured by realty of the first class. It was enabled, however, by going to pri- vate capital, to borrow for 5i per cent, with the privilege of paying off a portion of the indebtedness every year or the en- tire amount at the end of three years. These are very advantageous terms for the borrower, which were rendered pos- | sible because private capital is not bound down to a fixed rate of interest without regard to the locality, the character of | the security and the size of the sum to be | loaned. | _The savings banks, buildin | and private capitalists of this city loaned | an aggegregate of $485,750 upon local real | estate for the week ending February 17, | against 285 for the previous week. The ’luans of the savings banks last week associations amounted to $41 and were as follows: Hibernia, $286820; German. $21, San | Francisco Savings Union, $15 Savings { and Loan, $4700; Humboldt, $61,000; Mutuai, | 818,350, and French, $1100. The building sociations loaned $1300 and private capital- sts and others loaned $54,860. Amully?nllh» by | large loans last week was one of $152, | the Hibernia Savings and Loan Society at | 6 per cent, which is the rate accepted for all loans by that bank. The same bank | also made three other large loans of $33. 500, $13,000 and $10,000, respectively. Th: | Himboldt Savings and Loan made one | loan of $18,500. one of $16,000 and one of | $15,000. The releases of the week were un- | precedentedly large, amounting to 33 215 Quite a number of releases on | Blythe-Hinckley property are included in | the above total.

Some African elephants have been known to go weeks without sleep. The elephant is always fidgeting about, ving that ridiculous hulk of his and always stirring up strife and picking at sometning with his trunk. He must have something to occupy his mind, and so bales of hay are always at hand to be oled out to him. He must be always scolded and talked to and told to keep out of that or get back there or come out where he can be seen. Ordinarily, when not talked to, most elephant men divert themselves by rapping the bull on the proboscis with the elephant hook. “An elephant has a hide about an inch thick, a temper that is as uncertain as the toss of a coin, the cruelty of an Apache and the destructiveness of a tor- nado. Our Fargo's small elephant bump of destructiveness is fully developed. He is continually pulling the bell rope while I are In transit and stopping the train, breaking the cages and generally destroy- ing property, but notwithstanding that he is a particularly good and gentle speci- men. “It is a well known fact that the ani- mals around our show are ruled by love, the whip being seldom employed, but tc make an elephant mind without 'the use of the ‘bull hook’ would be as futile as an attempt to stop a Kansas cyclone with a feather duster. The ‘buil hook’ is shaped like a boat hook. It has a straight point, which is used to jab in where the | skin is tenderest. Elephants, like most animals, are cowards and will only take advantage of a trainer or Keeper when they are not looking. They will occasion- ally make a ‘bluff’ as if to strike, but when prodded gently with the ‘bull hook’ they will whine so you can locate the very spot it comes from, which is not un- liké the last pedal key of a church or- gan. It often sounds like an amateur trying to blow a cornet for the first time.” They treasure up grievances against a trainer or keeper and usually ‘get’ their man every time. They are treacherous at their best, and one has to keep an eagle eye out for them at all times.” TR TS R To Protect Oriental Trade. Sometime ago the business and com- merclal men interested in the Far East organized the American Aslatic Assocla- tion of New York, the purpose being to foster and safeguard the trade and com- mercial interests of the citizens of the United _States in_China, Japan, Philip- pines, Korea and Oceanica. A proposition is now before the business men of this city to form a Pacific Coast branch of the New York organization. George A. Newhall, pres.uent of the Chamber of Commerce, is one of those who has taken up the matter and called for a meeting of the merchants and others for to-mor- row in the rooms of the chamber. e e Anniversary of Emmet’s Birth. The one hundred and twenty-second an- niversary of the birth of Robert Emmet will be celebrated this year by the Irish Nationalists of San Francisco in a very appropriate manner. The exercises wiil consist of an oration and a musical and literary entertainment. .which will be held in Metropolitan Temple on March 13 under the auspices of the Knights of the Red Branch. The oration will be de- livered by the Rev. Father Yorke. Re- served seat tickets can be procured at Deasy Brothers' store, 20 Sixth street. ————— To Celebrate St. David's Day.
