Druggists sell all kinds of hair prep- arations and as a rule they are wisely chary of giving preference to any par- ticular one, but many of them have come out plainly for Newbro's Herpicide, the mew treatment that absolutely kills the dandruffy germ. Swannell & Son., Chempaign, I, “One customer of ours who did not have a hair on top of bis head when he began to use Herpicide now has a fair start toward a good head of hair. We believe Herpicide to be by far the best preparation of its kind on the market.” Hundreds of similar testimo- mials from everywhere out with the amount.of money that will be raised for that and other purposes, the display will be a red letter one in the history of electric lighting in this city. For the guidance of the strangers in the city and that they may not feel that they are neglected, several information bureaus will be established. There will be a number of volunteers who will be ready to accompany parties to various points and explain all that is to be seen. e BANK CLERKS HOLD Tfll{x FIRST MEETING Choose Officers 79! l’.;cd Chapter of American Institute for Ensu- ing Term. The Board pf Governors of the San Francisco Chapter of the American Insti. tute of Bank Clerks held its first meeting on Friday night and elected officers for the ensuing term as follows: President, P. G. Eastwick Jr., Wells, Fargo & Co. Bank; vice president, J. D. Ruggles, Bank of California; secretary, Irving Lungborg, San Francisco National Bank; treasurer, C. H. McCormick, First National Bank. The chapter wili hold its next meeting on April § at a place to be decided upon later. Prominent financiers and business men have expressed their willingness to @address this and subsequent m ngs REALTY SIGNS ARE ALL GOOD Market Is Now Rest- ing Upon a Solid Basis. Brokers Report Long Lists of Recent Local Trans- actions, There are many reasons to justify the confidence in the local realty situation that is generally entertained. The first is, of course, the constant and unparal- leled growth of the city, which is obvious to all observers. The next, possibly, is the very excellent prospect that the 'im- | migration movement, which is intended | to people adequately the great and fruit- | ful counties of the north of California, | will have the co-operation of all classes of citizens and will be conducted vigor- ously and so make the country tributary | to San Francisco more prosperous than | ever before. The move of the Santa Fe to enter Oakland is supposed by competent ob- servers to mean that the railroad peopie see that in the many thousands of dwell- ers in Oakland, Berkeley and Alameda there s a great business which the Santa Fe has not heretofore enjoyed. To when the Santa Fe gets ready to estab- lish it, goes with the saying, for it is a common matter of knowledge that the business of the local trains and ferries of the Southern Pacific Company, which the Santa Fe will be in a position soon tv share, is about the most profitable and sure of any that is going. The income from the around the bay commuters is as | sure as taxes. Plans Favor Dcvelopment. The plans for the extension of the elec- tric road to San Mateo as soon as possi- ble; the great advantages that will be conferred upon Richmond by the addition of electric car facilities in the full sense of the term; not less the confidence Eastern people are showing in S8an Fran- cisco, by the establishment of branch houses in this city and the investments the Eastern moneyed men are making in San Francisco realty, show the drift of current events strongly and unmistak- ably. The story published by a morning con- temporary to the effect that the South- ern Pacific Company is about to abandon the advantage it_has secured by the pur- chase of the old Risdon property and also | rights of way to the same to facilitate its dealings with the wholesale commun- ity, which is so strongly building south of Market street, 1s generally discredited. The Southern Pacific people deny the story tbat the land is to be put on the market. The alternative would be to en- hance the competitive advantages of the Santa Fe, which is not likely to become the policy of the Southern Pacific Com- pany. ‘The sales reported by the brokers indi- cate the healthy tone of the market. Dur- ings, mostly new, that have been re- corded, represent an expenditure of $265,000. Brokers Make Sales. A. J. Rich & Co. report a very active week in leaseholds and sales.

Mother and Officials of Char- itable “Society In- terfere. Fred Culverwell, 15 years of age, at- tempted to commit suicide yesterday morning by cutting his throat with a jackknife in the office of Secretary ‘White of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children. He said he pre- ferred death to being sent to an institu- tion, where he wanted to. It is stated by his mother that the boy is a confirmed thief. He has twice been placed with the Boys' and Girls' Aid So- clety for stealing articles of small val He was employed by Sanborn & Vail little more than a year ago and was ar- rested there for the theft of some pens. Lately he has troubled his mother so much by the display of his eriminal ten- dencies that she appealed to Secretary ‘White to take him off her hands. ‘When he arrived at the office and real- | ized that he was again to be placed un- der restraint, he became enraged. Draw- ing his knife from his pocket, he opened it vnobserved and made a slash at his throat. Mrs. Culverwell saw the motion just in time and instinctively grasped his arm. He wrenched himself away and again attempted to stak himself, but As- sistant Secretary Shaunon interfered this time. A lively struggle ensued and was only ended on the opportune arrival of Secretary White and Officer McMurray, who soon had the boy overpowered. He was immediately taken to the Hall of Justice, where Judge Fritz, after hear- ing the story, committed him to the care of the Boys’ and Girls' Aid Society. e e on the north line of Broadway, 86:8 feet east from Van Ness avenue, to Frederick W.

Stories are persistently heard that there will be great improvements immediately on the former Blythe properties on Mar- ket, Geary and Grant avenue. These are disposed of, for the time at least, by the conclusion of leases with all the tenants by the Bankers’ Investment Company, in which it is provided that the present ten- ants shail not be ousted if higher rents are offered by others, but the Bankers’ Investment Company reserves to itself the right of giving four months’ notice if it shall at any tjme desire to place new buildings on the old Blythe lots. The trustecs of the Crocker. heirs deny that there is any intention on their part to erect a theater on the newly acquired property on the west line of Powell street, just north of the new St. Francis Hotel, the new acquisition having on it the old Cosmos Club structure, Nor is there any resent intention of utilizing the property gar the northward extension of the hotel in construction.
