THE NEW CLIFF HOUSE
Coste to De Uult 01 the nocks ot tbo'
told Gate
A castle In French or Norman Gothic
style , wIth : rather more elaborate detail than
Is customary In buildings of that design , Is
to be erected on the alto of the old Cliff
house says the San Francisco Examiner.
The plain , square , wooden building which was
a landmark , succumbed to the flames on the
evening of Christmas day , and nothing but
memories of the familiar place were left.
Its successor wi be a much more Imposing
modern structure , but I will lack those
memorIes which hovered around the simple
house on the edge of th9 qcean.
Adolph Sutro has decided upon thin form
and arrangement of the hew building. The
building Is to cost In round figures $50,000.
I will be built entirely of wood , as no other
material Is so well calculated to withstand
the corrosive erect of the salt sea air I
will be 10 feet In length from cast to west
and nInety-two feet from north to south

over the edge of the clll '
The main part will be toward the east.

three parts will bo characterized by being
virtually alconles projecting \ from each of
thin four storIes. The French character of
the building will bo displayed principally In
the main part and the round Norman towers
wIth theIr conical and pyramidal spIres.
The detail of ornamentation will be essen-
taly French
Two of the stories wi be above the street
level and two below I on the slopIng taco
of the clIffs. Thin
clls. verandas on the ocean
side will all bo twenty feet wide , those on
the north and south end anti on the east side

The four corners of the building wIlt be
circular anti crowned with steeples , each
fitted with rooms reached by passage In the
atc floor . The atc wIll have two floors.

room wi bo provided with handsome open
fireplaces.
A large square tower will rise from the
center of the building , crowned with a steeple ,
and a fine roOm will be I

portion of the tower. The exterior or ( the I
room Is to be orhamentd with : colonnades and
arches. This room wi be used for an dli. '

once.
The following are the facts t be silver-
tised : hayden Bros. of Omaha as the only
firm in the world showing a contiete line of
tIle Instruments manufactured by thto five
most renowned piano makers on earth , hay.
den Bros. are not tIed up with red tape resinic-
tions like regular selling agents , but are free
to make the loweat prices ever heard of.
hayden Bros. put special sereesa on tint
Steinway and Vose pianos because they have
a hanger line in stock and can buy them
cheaper than any other makes of equal repu.
tation. 1)0 not be misled by arty one claim-
lag this sole agency , hayden Bros. have
them direct from the factory' as well as
from tue Max Meyer & Bro , Ca , etocic. Music
trade papers are saying iianos cannot be sold
in a department store , but sensible people
who do not care to be hoodwinked by silly
frills are not. so notional and tii beit proof
of this Is that hayden Bros. sold more
pianos , organs and musical Instruments In
one week titan any five music stores west 01
Chicago have sold In slx.monlhs. The musIc
tflde papers say this Innovation will be
watched with unusual interest sad hlaydee
Bees , propose to keep them gUeint.
