THE GAS EXPLODED.
Two Men Badly Hurt in a LOdg-
ing-HOuse Fire.

An alarm at 6:15 o'clock last evening from
Station 81 was for fire at As Fourth street,
caused by an explosion Of gas. Z. r. Owens,
proprietor of the lodging house in which the
fire occurred, went looking for gas leak in
a room, using a-lighted match for that pur-
pose. An explosion followed, which severe
ly burned Mr.. Owens, injured roomer
named Henry Perry and broke all the glass
in the windows. But little damage was
done to the building, as $50 will cover the
loss.
Perry had his left hand crushed in a
peculiar manner. and was taken to the Re-
celying hospital for treatment. He was on
the point of leaving the room where the ex-
plosion occurred when Owens struck the
match. Perry had the door open about
foot, with his hand on the edge. when the
gas exploded. The partly opened door was
driven shut with terrific force breaking
Perry's wrist and crushing a number of the
small bones in his hand. The man is now
helpless, as his other hand was rendered
useless by fall on Kearny street couple
of wears ago.

A FOUR-FOOTED THIEF.
He Retrieyes Cocoanuts for Two Little
Children.


Children.
The brig Tropic BIRD from Tahiti is dis
charging cocoanuts at Mission Wharf,
and the men employed there have had a
great deal of fun watching the actions of q
good-sized retriever dog, who proved him
self 20 be a most expert sneak-thief. A
man is emlloyed TO keep small boys with a
taste for cOcOanutS off the dock. but he was
not put there to watch dogs.
SOon after dinner yesterday boy and a
girl who tried TO go on the dock were.driven
away. The two put their heads together,
and the boy was seen to start across East
street on a run. He soon returned followed
by the dog. Passing as far under the gate
as he dared, the boy pointed out the pile of
c0cOanutS TO the dog, and then returned to
his little companion, who was seated on a
piece Of timber close to the railroad track.
The dog evidently knew what was re-
quired Of him, as inside of half an hour he
made no less than six trips down the dock
returning each time with a cocoanut in his
mouth.
Some one at last called the mates atten-
ton to the four-footed thief, aud when the
dog seized another nut the mate gave chase,
but could not catch either dog or children,
who soon disappeared with their booty up
Mission street, followed by the dog.

SAVED FROM SUICIDE.
One Life Entered to the Credit AccouI
of Weigher walker.

One Life Entered to the Credit Account
of Weigher Walker.
But for the prompt action of d. }.
Walker, public weigher at Jackson-streeE
Wharf another suicide would have had to
be recorded by the newspapers of San
Francisco. Mr.. Walker had been out TO
the end of the wharf little before o'clock
yesterday morning, and while returning to
his Office near the gate met q woman walk
ing down the dock. She was dressed in a
calico wrapper and had on a pair of carpet
slippers and carried a shawl on her arm.
Something in her demeanor prompted him
to follow her In spite Of the fact that she
was under the influence of liquor, she went
to the end of the wharf at a rapid pace.
Folding up her shawl she laid il on the
stringer and then, placing her hat on the
shawl. slipped to the outside edge Of the
wharf and was in the act of taking the leap
into the bay when the weigher seized her,
and after a short struggle dragged her IN on
the roadway,
He then compelled her to put on her
shawl and 20 with him to his Office. She
was turned over to the police and taken TO
the North Harbor Station, where she gave
the name of Ellen Jones and her age as IS,
and said she was a domestic She seemed
sorry for what she had done, but refused to
talk of her affairs. She was locked up on a
charge of drunk.

CALIFORNIA; PLANS.
The Commission Desires a Typi.
cal Building.

Captain Thompson, Secretary of the Call
fornia Worlds Fair Commission, left for
Sacramento last night, but before going
stated that meeting would in all likelihood
be held previous to that set for the 14th of
July.
ut will depend entirely" he said, 'upon
the possibility of securing the attendance of
a quorum, but we are anxious to decide
upon plan for State building. None of
the plans thus far submitted are entirely
satisfactory, and as the building question is
one of more or less urgency we want to get
1t off our hands. You will remember, of
course. that we advertised for competitive
plans some months ago, Offering prize of
$500 for the one that was most acceptable.
AS result twelve were sent in, and de-
scrlDtion of each was printed in THE CALL
Just prior to our departure for Chicago.
These were taken with US on our Eastern
trip, and submitted TO the chief architect,
Mr. Burnham, who examined them very
carefully, but objected to them all. There
was not one among the entire number that
in his opinion, was entirely typical of the
State. He went into the question at great
length and very thoroughly. and at last ad-
vlsed us to reject them all. He held, as we
think very properly, that a State building
should be emblematic Of the history and re-
sources of the State, and that is what we are
striving to secure.
SIN view of this it is probable that we
shall, at our coming meeting, refuse to
adopt any of the plans thus far submitted,
but will probably stand by the terms of our
advertisement and give the prize to the one
that we consider the best. 1t is not at all
probable that we will utilize the plan de-
cided upon as the most representative of the
State, but that cannot be taken exception to
by the architects What we shall probably
do Is this We viii employ an architect to
draught plans, and Will have him consult
with the commission. After giving him our
ideas. we will have him 20 to Chicago and
confer with Mr. Burnham, and then set TO
work upon plans. In that way we hope to
secure a building that will be worthy of
California and her great industries.
'Mr. Burnham. who. by the way, is re-
garded as one of the greatest architects of
the United States is in favor of building
OF the Mission type, but is opposed to a
mixed style Of architecture, such as shown
in our submitted plans. He informed US
that building thus erected would be of
little credit to US and we were inclined to
regard it in the same light. 1t is probable,
therefore that the plans when accepted will
be of the Old Mission style, ana that idea
will be carried out without any devatiOns
from it, This, of course, is only my indi-
vidual opinion, but il has been formed after
discussing the matter with a majority of the
Commissioners, who seem to think as do"

Perfection Eggs-Over a skillet of hot
water place pie pan whose edges will rest
on its outer edges without letting any
water into the pan. Let a small piece OF
butter melt in the pie pan, into which
break six eggs; cover closely; let them
steam till tender, season, and pour over
one-half cupful of cream. After minute
slip unbroken on to a round platter.
Shirred Eggs-Butter earthen saucers;
break into each two or three eggs, set them
into a bake pan in a hot oven; season when
done and serve in the saucers.
Scrambled Eggs-One cupful of milk,
one tablespoonful of butter, salt, pepper,
beat ten eggs hard, let the milk come to n
boil and add the eggs, stirring constantly.
The Best Soft Boiled Eggs-Put the eggs
in a saucepan, cover with boiling water
and let them stand ten minutes where the
water will keep hot but not boiling. To
cook an egg soft it should never be cooked
in boiling water; the white hardens before
the heat has reached the yolk. The above
recipes are selected from a seasonable COZ
lection in Good Housekeeping.

CONGRESS- OF NATIONS.

The time is fast approaching when
there will be a congress of all the
nations of the earth and they will pass
on all international questions that
may arise between different govern
ments. 1t is sincerely hoped that this
matter will soon be brought about.
The South American republics
should have their grievances settled in
Just this kind of a court, for they are
fighting among themselves and, when
they get through they will not know
what they have been fighting about.
When one nation appeals to other
nations there should be some good
cause for it at least, and there is
plenty of time to fight after it has
been passed by the different civilized
governments.
Many of the smaller kingdoms and
republics should be treated as children
until they have had larger and more
varied experience.
The people of the South American
republics are slaughtering each other,
and after it is all over they will be no
better off.
