Yesterday the work of tear- ing down this famous old landmark was begun, and it will be continued until gvery bit of the wood and brick which was put into the structure with so much pains and pride by the citizens of San Francisco in 1854 has been | taken away. a new structure, more magnificent in its architecture than any of its predecessors, will be built in its place. The old building, | hallowed by the memories of pioneer | days, will soon be forgotten. Thus rules the inexorable law of modern | times. The old must succumb to the | new, the common give way to the mag- nificent | Happy has been the history of the | 0ld Custom-house. The building was | started in 1853. The water's edge was | just at its northern extremity and deep | sea vessels anchored a stone’s throw away. The actual construction was done by the Government, but the citi- | zens of San Francisco were so Inter- { ested in its welfare that they helped | select the materials and even assisted | in the actual work. In 1854 the building was completed. To San Francigco it was the most mag- | nificent of buildings, far surpassing s | €very other structure in the city. The {\.-vllmgs ere finished in handsome stucco work. The outside brick Is were covered with brown mastic, a very popular and handsome exterior in those days. R. P. Hammond was the first Collector of Customs to take of- omce in the new bullding. The great earthquake of 1868 shook down the fine stucco ceilings and weak- ened the walls. The offices were moved out for a time and the building strengthened with steel stringers. Wooden ceilings repiaced the stucco. Those were the days of the free and easy customs officials. The men did their work well, but they found plenty of time to play pranks and entertain their friends with lively narratives of min- ing experiences. Poker games were t infrequent and a general spirit of revelry prevailed. As time wore on these conditions were slowly changed. New officials came and sterner disci- pline was instituted. On Saturday at noon the employes moved over to the new quarters on San- ing to the contractors. Many of them were young men, but some could re- member far back into the early days. The oldest of these was J. W. Brobas- co, who came into the office in 1861. him the leave-taking pulled at the heart strings. It seemed like the final passing away of the silent reminder of the early days. The eustoms offices now occupy the third floor of the Appraiser’s building on Sansome street. They will remuain there until the new structure is com- pleted. CONTEMPORARY CLUB WILL GIVE INTERESTING CONCERT Work of Orgaunization Is in Field of Philanthropy. The Contemporary Club, Mrs. C.

FORUM CLUB HEARS LECTURE - ON EDUCATION The Forum Club was entertained yester- day afternoon by a talk upon “The First Steps to Education” by Dr. Frederic Burk, principal of the San Franeisco Nor- mal School. Dr. Burk struck a responsive chord in the hearts of the clubwomen by prefacing his discussion by the flat announcement ; “‘that children are taught too many things | to-day”—that their concentration is en- dangered by such crowding of studies and their quality of mind thus impalred. After the talk the elements of it were analyzed over the tea-cup, which Dr. Burk was brave enough to engage, to the delight and interest of every woman in the club, most of whom are mothers. And that which most interests children most interests club mothers—the dull hu- morist to the contrary. ‘Will Homer Luther's Birthday.
