synagogue of the congregation Sheriff

tered by burglars, followed to see who the
man was and what he was about. As the
officer reached the front door, which was
ajar, the man, who was inside, slammed
and locked it. shutting the officer out. The
officer tried to force the door, but it would
not yield. He then heard a noise as if some

ran down the long flight of stairs that led
from the front door to the street, and as he
reached the sidewalk saw man leap from
an upper window to grass plat alongside
of the building, and from there Chamber over
the fence to the sidewalk. This was at the
extreme end of the building. While trying
to reach the sidewalk the burglar fell. The

for him, but before he could reach him he
had gathered himself up and was running
down Post street at pace that has seldom
been equaled by any Splinter. Offices Ben

the swift runner, drew his revolver and
fired shot in the air to attract the atten-
ton of any one who might be on the street.
but the shot did not produce the desired
result Then followed race, the fugitive
turning into Mason street, with the officer
a few yards behind. After making the
turn the officer fired low at the runaway
and citizen who was in the vicinity heard
the cry, "Oh, my God" The pursued then
turned into Geary street, the officer still in
pursuit, calling out at the top Of his voice:
stop thiefW There were number of
people on the street, yet no one made an
attempt to intercept the runaway. On

the other police officers, but these also failed
of their purpose. The burglar turned into
Union Square and made good his escape.

From Mr.. Sutro a strip 100 feet wide,
through the San Miguel Ranch, on the line
of Market street, extended to the eastern
boundary of the Lake MERGED Ranch; also
another strip of equal width running from
the Market-street extension due south to
the City Homestead Association lands,
from the western line of Lake MERGED
should be virtually the extension of Twelfth
ket street.
Supervisor Barry moved that the rights
of-way, as offered, with the provisos speei-
fed be accepted, and the committee so
decided.
Mr.. Sutro again iDterjected: Now, re-
member, gentlemen, consent to give this
right-of-way upon the condition that Mar
ket street is exte nded."
" Very well. certainly" said the commit
tee in a chorus. and the two gentlemen,
Mr.. Sutro and Mr.. Schussler, retired from
the committee-room.
Regarding the grades Of the proposed eX-
tension of Seventeenth street, the commit
tee decided that, inasmueh as the grades or
iginally reported are so strenuouSly opposed
by many and that the grades reported by
the City ana County Surveyor were also
objected to-, the whole matter be tabled

jOrity of the property affected agree and PEI

More than 1900 farmers have applied to
the agricultural department for seeds OF
the sugar beet, of which the department.
has imported several tons. This looks as
if the farmers were going to try the beet
sugar experiment on a scale large enough
to give it a thorough test. A large lot OF
machinery for the establishment OF beet
sugar works at Lincoln, Neb., reached New
Orleans a few days ago from Europe. The
fact that some states of the west are en-
gaging in beet sugar culture has made
their representatives hostile to the M
4 inley bill, which puts sugar on the free
list. The duty placed on that article re-
suits in securing q large amount of revenue
and the republican politicians strike It
down, while they increase the duty on artl-
cles producing no revenue for the purpose
Of putting more money into the pockets OF
