about galore.
You should have seen those enthusiasts
toll.
They would sketch awhile in perfect
abandon and with reckless speed, and then
carefully rub it all out.
Iney would put in background OF blue.
and then change their minds and make it
black.
They would. place a tree in the fore
ground, which~Ould soon be transformed
into b0at-and that would, perhaps, be
more correct, for there was water all
about Ii.
The sun began to grin at the results, and
IHE CALL man we mt over and sat down in
the shade.
He lit cigar and thought of what he had
read OF "Art for Arts Sake"
Never sketcher moved. 1t was mad
enthusiasm.
Such zeal 10 the field of politics would
have made any one of them a Boss Grim
Minis.
But there; we are not all constituted alike.
The boys of North Beach, for instance
are not constituted like the artists. They
look on life differently.
One of them, in particular. looked on life
dlferently-he was cr0ss-eyed.
Not one of them has sweet esthetic soul.
They watched the sketehers for a season in
silence andpity.
One was in for running them off the
beach.
Let 'em alone" said the cross-eyed boy :;
"they don't know no better"
Then they went off to get up good dog
fight
THE CALL man went over and looked at
the pictures.
They say the chmneys at the Selby mills
have enough ore in them TO make them
worth $4,000
The first impression on looking at the
canvases was that the artists were sending

ings
AS you looked from canvas to canvas
you could see anything from castle on the
Rhine to aone-story shack on Market street
Perhaps the best picture, after all, was
one that had transformed the mills into
large steamboat lying up at wharf.
But the sketchers were only beginners
and that saves them.
All things considered they did remarkably
well.
BY 8 o'clock they had all left for home
with dreams Of the Legion of Honor and a
picture in the Paris salon.

missIoners. In which he said he would "be
pleased to have them accept his animals as
gift to the Golden Gate Park"
The next day Mr. Won Rhein received an
answer from the secretary OF the board. in
which it was stated that. owing to a lack Of
accommodations, his gift could not be ac-
cepted.
Here was a setback to Mr.. Won Rheims
generous intentions. He bad gone to all
his trouble and expense for nothing.
The two cu0s are FIVE months old and very
strong healthy specimens OF the Brnn
family. They have slight nclination TO
be ferocous, and snap and snarl savagely,
showing two big rows of white teeth when
ever anybody approaches them. They gave
considerable trouble TO Captain Carroll Of
the Queen On his way down.
Perhaps the two cubs inherit their Vicious
ness from their mother.
The mother was one of the largest and most
savage OF bears seen In Alaska for some
time.
The bear did considerable damage TO
property in the mountains above Sitka and
almost killed three traders. An expert
Indian bear-hunter was sent after her and
succeeded in tracking her 10 her cave.
Armed only with long, sharp spear the
Indian entered the cave and tackled the
bear single-handed.
After sharp and quick combat. in which
the bear bit piece out of the Indians arm,
the latter pierced Bruin to the heart and
took her skin.
He saw two baby bears in the cave and
took them with him to Sitka, where he sold
them To a trader.
Mr.. Won Rhein came along, and thinking
they would be an attraction for Golden Gate
Park, bought them and shipped them on the
steamer Queen for this city.
81 know what to do with real estate when
/ get it," said Mr.. Won Rhein yesterday,
but these bears are elephants on my hands.
Probably the best thing / can do with
them is to chain them in front OF some rival
firm to chase customers away"

Property-Owners Protest Against an
Electric Line on Grove Street
The Street Committee of the Board Of
Supervisors met yesterday and placed on
file the protest OF 7. T. Bennett against the
confirmation OF the commissioners report
for the extension and widening OF Nine
te enth street and the extension Of Twenty
irst. Twenty-second and Twenty-third
streets.
B. Joost appeared and spoke in favor Of
his franchise for an electric road on Ash
bury and other streets.
large number of property-owners was
present to protest against the granting Of
the franchise as far as it related to Grove
street, for the reason that the electric road
would destroy the only driveway approach
to the fashionable entrance of the park.
The petitioner desired a decision on the
matter at once, but the committee laid the
matter over for two weeks.
A. S. Hallidie asked to be granted a
franchise to construct railroad, to be run
by steam or electricity, from the California
Wire Works to the seawall for the purpose
OF carrying freight for shipment This
matter was also laid over for one week.
A complaint was read from Frank j.
Symnies which stated that the San Fran
cisco and San MateO Electric Company had

caused great Inconvenience and annoyance
TO property-0wners In the vicinity.
Sixteen months had passed since the
street had been torn up, but the company
had failed to repair any Of the street Its
employees had ruined.
Deputy Street Superintendent Owens was
present and stated that he would do every
thing possible to have the company repair

visit to his distinguished colleague in the
lar-off town. Mr.. Johansen received him
with open arms. as it was the first time he
had ever seen a foreign newspaper man.
The Nord-Kap is published In a small
wooden house, covered by an earthen roof.
Despite his surroundings, however. the
editor appeared to be in the best of spirits,
and TO follow his profession with the enthu-
siasm which characterzeS so many of his
fellows. The subscribers of the Nord-K Kap,
1t is true, are obliged to wait some time for
the news Of important events taking place
In the various parts Of the world. As yet
there is no telegraph office in the small
town, and Mr.. Johansen is obliged to depend
upon the mails and newspapers which arrive
by the vessels landing at Hammerfest.
Many OF the subscribers, too, live long
distance from the town. and week or more
passes by before the paper can reach them
after publication. Many of the read ers,
however. call at the office for the Nord-
Kap, aud present the editor with fish OF
various kinds in exchange for his paper.

bear, with the schooner In his hand tos sing
off the contents like true born toDer.
McManus laughed, aud the crowd roared.
The bear was the Kings pet, which he
has raised since 1t was cub.
IL Is only of late months that the bear,
who is called Jack, has developed strong
tendency for drink.
He will stand up at the bar on its hind
legs aud drink whenever treated.
Then sehoouers are as nothing for him.
On the eyentful night that Corbett de-
feated Sullivan, McManus started to take
his bear to Harry Corbetts saloon to ter
rorize the crowd.
The master Of the animal Insisted on his
going, and taking the chain pulled him along
after him.
The bear struggled and objected. and went
along reluctantly.
When Third street was reached the bear
became unruly. Its owner tugged and
pulled at the chain, when bruin rose and
rushed for his master, catching him by the
right hand in It's mouth.
McManus hOwled with pain, and had
some difficulty In getting his hand out OF the
bears mouth.
When he was liberated he wanted to
shoot the bear, but could not get pistol.
That saved jacks life.
McManus gave up his evenings pleasure
and returned to the POtrero, where his hand
was dressed. 1t was at first feared that
blood poisoning would SGT in.
McManus carried his hand in a sling for
some days
When his hand got better the King of the
PoirerO forgave Jack, and once more REIN
stated him in his favor.

THORNTON And THACKER.
The Attorney Scorches the
Able Detective.
Wells-Fargo's Hawkshaw Is Charged With
an Unwarranted Interference in the
MeWhirter Murder Case.

Detective James Thacker OF Wells-Fargo
Express Company has brought down a hor-
nets nest upon himself.
He has been in Fresno for the past two
weeks, and while there he took turn at
the McWhirter case.
AS result Of his Investigations he came
to the conclusion that it was nothing but
case of suicide
This is the 'tip" he gave to his friends.
but it became public and reached the ears
of Cr ittenden Thornton. who is retained by
Mrs. New hrter to prosecute those who
may be found to have been implicated in
the murder of her husband.
When he heard that Thacker had taken
hold Of the McWhirter case and abandoned
Messrs. Sontag and Evans Thornton's
wrath knew no bounds.
He went straightforth to see Mr.. j. j.
Valentine Of Wells Fargo g. Co.
SIS Mr.. Thacker detailed by your COM
pany to interest himself In the McWhirter
case?" demanded Mr.. Thornton.
mo, SIR" promptly responded Mr.. Val
entine. He is looking after SOntag and
Evans"
"He is. is hep" queried Mr. Thornton,
as his lip curled with a derisive smile.
well. I'll tell you Mr.. Thacker, to my
w !
about the Grand Central at Fresno. He
has. will admit, detected that there is
court house there, and strange TO say. after
hndlng out that startling fact. he began
working on the McWhirter case"
When Valentine could get an opportunity
TO speak he informed Mr.. Thornton that if
Thacker had ''meddled" in the McWhirter
case he would be brought up with a round
turn.
YES" admitted Attorney Thornton yes
terday. II DO charge Thacker with med
ding in a case where he need have no fear
of personal danger. he is tardy about leav-
ing Fresno, and is to be seen all day long at
the Grand Central, waiting, L suppose, for
Sontag and Evans TO come in, hunt him up,
and say they are ready to 60 TO Jail.
I'm the McWhirter case Thacker's opin-
ions are full of brilliant originality. He
summarizes this way: 'McWhirter was the
nearest man 10 himself, hence he
killed himself Very good. indeed; blt
let US apply the same reasoning to
brilliant part. and we find that the express
messenger was nearest to the treasure,
hence he took it and used dynamite TO hide
his crime. SOntag and Evans are innocent
men. This probably is Mr.. Thacker's idea
of the case, as he has shown it by remain
Ing in Fresno.
He is waiting there on the principle
that everything comes TO him VINO waits.
He IS not incurrIng any personal risk by
following this principle out to the letter"
President Valentine said Yesterday that
he had only heard one side of the story;
but If it was true that Thacker had inter-
ferred in the McWhirter case be would be
held To strict account.

a strong game, except in the second inning,
