Expedition to.snitzbergep,

M. 6. Nordenskjold, a son of the famous
explorer, Prof. Baron Nordenskjold, has,
in company with Baron Axel KIinckow-
strom, completed an expedition to Spitz-
bergen during this summer and fall.
They started from TromSo, in Norway,
in the spring, having hired sailing
vessel, the Lofoten, which was only 40
tons. Weather-bound some days outside
Tromso, they landed on the Reno,
famous for its remarkable grottos. At
Homsund, outside which there are some
islands fuller of elder ducks than any
other known place, the two friends
parted company. NJ. Nordenskold
undertook an excursion on the inland
ice, while the vessel went along the coast
to Recherche Bay. The walk over the
land ice offered no special difficulties.
At Recherche Bay, wnere they again
met, they found everything so covered
with snow that it materially interiered
with their plans.
From Recherche Bay they sailed north
to Stora Ejorden (the Great FIRTH, which
goes far into the country; this was very
interesting place, where they remained
some six weeks. There is hardly any
spot in the world richer in various petri-
hcd finds than that neighborhood proved
itself to be. Again going north from
Stora Fjorden, they took photographs of
the mountains and the glaciers. on one of
which, at the S0th degree northern lati-
tude, they discovered traces of the IA
nous red snow. Having got little
higher north the captain refused to go
any further, which was probably very
wise decision, and the expedition re-
turned to Norway without any mishap.

SKILLFUL SAFE CRACKERS
Sacramento, as Usual, Is Not Ne
elected by the Crooks.
The Men Who Operated so Success
fully in San Francisco and Other
Places Are Here.

For the past four or five months a brace
of daring and skilIf1l safe crackers have
been operating in the State, particularly
in San Francisco. Their work is de-
scribed as being the 'cleanest' ever
seen, and in each instance it has been
done in the same manner. That the work
has been done by the same men, the po-
lice officials who have been ON their
track never doubted.
Distinguished people, in visiting Cali
fornia, seldom neglect to stop over day
or so in the Capital City-and Sacra-
mento has not been forgotten by these
clever safe-robbers.
THE LATEST JOB.
When the bookkeeper of A. S.
Hopkins and Bros place of busi-
ness on J street opened up his
office yesterday morning, he made
the startling discovery that the firms safe
had been tampered with, both inside and
out. a small hole had been drilled
through the heavy iron door. close to the
computation, and in this manner the
lock was blown out
The prowlers did not make the 'haul'
they expected, however. 1t was stated
yesterday that only about $40 i'll money
was III the safe at the time.
Sheriff Cunningham. the veteran
EIdocq of Stockton. was in town yester-
day, and, in company with Constable
Brlssel OF this city, examined Hopkins
safe.
The same men that did this Job broke
open safe III Stockton recently" he said
after he had finished his examination.
The work is Identical on the safe, and
they entered the building in exactly the
same manner us they did in our town. |
ann pretty sure know who these men
are. There are two of them, and you
would be surprised at the
STYLE THEY PUT ON
When travelling the streets in the day
time. These men are the same fellows
who blew open the safe in the Wigwam
Iheater in san Francisco Il couple of
months ago, and they are also the same
chaps who emptied u safe in San Jose.
They are, without doubt, the cleverest
workers that the authorities in California
have ever had to deal with-that is. in
their particular line Of business. What
they don't know about safe-opening is
not worth knowing. They can open the
DeSt safe ever made. They understand
thoroughly the construction of every
alleged patent burglar-proof' safe Now,
for Instance, there is one particular safe
in which the lock is always Immediately
back Of the combination spindle These
fellows simply knock off the knob, drill
through the spindle. and there thy are
right into the lock. With safes like the
one III Hopkins place, however, the lock
is situated differently, and Of course our
friends operate as they did in this case
drill about two inches to the left OF the
spindle and blow out the lock.''

Oddities of Great Men.

The greatest men are often affected by
the most trivial circumstances, which
have no apparent connection with the
effects they produce. An old gentleman.

against the cramp when he placed his
shoes, on going to bed, so that the right
snoe was on the left OF the left shoe, and
the toe of the right next to the heel of the

hearty and buoyant and our work

have our advantages set forth before
the country. We must keep our name
before the people of the state as live,

make our own improvements such as
paved streets and first class sewerage
systems. These are improvements
which we ought to plan and carry out
