porter with details of the murder of III. r.
Thornton, missionary teacher at Cape
Prince of Wales, briefly reported by tele-
graph from the north. Revenge was the
motive for the deed. About the middle OF
the night, August 19, three Indians came
to Thornton's house and waking him
asked for some medicine. Thornton went
to the door in his night clothes, but the
assassins did not wait for him to open it.
They fred through the door, one of them
from whale bomb gun. the other fired a
double barreled shotgun loaded with
slugs. The bomb passed through his body
and then exploded. wreckiDg the hallway.
Mrs. Thornton went to the house OF a
friendly native. He secured another In

murderers. They killed two of Thorn
toms slayers, crushed their bodies with
rocks and left them for the dogs to eat.
The third murderer was wounded, but
made mis- escape.
Mrs. Thornton was taken In a canoe to
the Port Clarence reindeer station. whence

Three young men were rescued from
great danger outside the heads yesterday
afternoon by the tug Fearless, which had
gone to the City of New York with a big
crowd of excursionists. They had gone
to Point Bonita in the vapor launch Mary
Mcneil. Her machinery broke down. so
they anchored her and undertook to pull
close to the wreck In g dingy with one
pair Of oars. There was very strong run
out and the ebb carried the boat with Its
three occupants, William Dunn, Market
street salOou-keeper, Frank WEIGH and
George Kimball, to sea at the rate of over
six miles an hour. Captain Haskell, seeing
their danger, turned the tug toward the
dngy, overlook it and picked the men up.
The excursion outside the heads aboard
the ship Eclipse In tow of the Active, for
the benefit of the Midwinter Fair fund,
attracted an immense crowd, which filled
her deck from stem to stern. In the alb
sence of wind and under the genial rays
of warm sun the trip was enjoyable.
There was not enough motion to make the
most delicate person seasick. Quite q
number of daring youngsters climbed the
rigging, and q tito of boys proudly
perched on the mizzenroyal yard. 1t was
an ideal day for pleasure on the water. and
the 1900 people who went along certainly
got their moneys worth.

At the regular meeting of Burma by
Lodge No. 1884, Order Sons of st. George, on
Saturday evening. letter was read from
the Secretary of the British auxiliary CON-
mttee of the Midwiuter Fair. inviting the
lodge TO appoint three members to serve
on the British auxiliary committee of the
Midwinter Fair WORK. The proposition
met with favor, and the president. John
Raulinson, appointed Charles ii. Wooden,
William r. Jack and James Hagan.
In connection with the programme which
is being arranged for every day during the
fair it is probable that an entire week
may yet be set aside to he known as
California week" In this week there
would bs day specially devoted TO
parade or some sort of a display of the
manufactures of California. On another
day the products would be exhibited in an
attractive form, aside from the regular
exhibits of the exposition. possibly on
floats or In picturesque designs for this
occasion only. On another day the
California works OF art would receive
special recognition. Then the women OF
California would have a day to themselves
and there would also be day on which
the State, city and county governments
would be specially recognized. On such
day as the last mentioned all the Mayors of
the different cities in the State would meet
together and receive honOrs from the
crowds, while the Governor of the State
and his staff will necessarily play i'm
pOrtant parts in the demonstration. In
this same connection there would be day
set apart for special musical features by
CaliforDia's composers, and here, too,
might come in an opportunity for purely
California poets aud pOetesses to be
paraded.

of work wrought by her own hand. She
has been working on it for eight years,
having commenced about that time TO send
pieces of silks and satin ribbons of varions
colors to prominent people throughout the
United States with the request that they
write their names thereon and return the
same to her. In this way she made one of
the most wonderful collections of auto
graphs, and she has utilized this collection
on satin and silk in the making Of large
quilt, the autographs being systematically
arranged around a center piece OF the
American flag. The autograph ribbons
are woven into a fabric, tracings of silk
floss covering up the seams which join the
ribbons and adding 10 the effect.

THEY STOLE WIRE
Bold Daylight Thefts by
Ex-Linemen.
Officers From Morse's Agency Effect
Their Capture While Taking
a Large Reel.

For some time past the Edison Electric
Light and Power Company has been losing
large quantities OF wire from Its poles in
different sections of the city. The manner
in which the work was done showed that
some skillful hands were engaged in II.
No attempt was made to touch live wires.
The wires that were taken were those that
had been in use and the service of which
had been discontinued.
The matter was placed in the hands OF
Morse's detective agency, and yesterday
morning William Lyman and Jack Gallen-
der were arrested by Captain j. j. Callun-
dan and Detective Larry Barton in the
act of taking away roll Of wire. weighing
about 1000 pounds, from in front Of the
store of j ohm Roebling's Sons on Fremont
street, between Mission and Market
Some three weeks ago the case was
placed in the detectives hands. Almost
daily reports would come in from different
sections of the city of some new depreda-
ton. Even the workmen engaged in string
ing wires would report the loss OF bundle
or reel of it while their backs would be
turned. The manner in which the work
was done directed suspicion to these two
parties, who were formerly employed by
the electric light company. and they were
Swallowed.
On Saturday night. about $50 o'clock.
Hyman and Calender rolled large reel
of copper trolley wire standing In front of
Roebling's place, on Fremont street, to a
vacant store on the opposite side OF the
street. A number of people were passing
at the time. but they went on with their
work unconcerned. An elevator door In
the sidewalk was raised and an entrance
effected into the building. The front door

Then Calender and Lyman proceeded
to cut it up. They worked for about four
hours and made twenty-six bundles. They
rested then till yesterday morning at z &c
o'clock, when they returned with horse
and wagon and loaded thirteen bundles OF
the wire on it. These they took 10 Living

was entered.
The two were very bold 10 their work.

Little Pete says also that the story OF
his own appointment by the Six Companies
as manager eff the Chinese exhibit here is
false. What probably gave rise to the
suppositlon that he was put in control, he
explains. was his business connection with
a Chinese bazaar started in this city. The
man in charge of the Chinese village he
says Is Lung Lum of 917 Dupont street.

not hurt me-" Little Pete observed, ''but /
just want TO explain that the story about
me being connected with the exhibit is
not true. They could find better man
than P'-this with becoming modesty-
''but the Six Companies do not have any
thing to do with the exhibition"

says Little PETE.
According to what Little Pete saws Chin
Pau Kwai. the manager of the Chinese
theatrical show in the Midway Plaisance,
Chicago. is now in China.
The story telegraphed from Chicago
would leave the inference that Chin Pau
Kwai had left that city only recently to
evade the Federal authorities who are now
investigating the importation of the 432
Chinese brought to this country through
Hong Kong firm as actors, but Little
Pete says Chin Pau Kwai was in this city
some time ago. He saw BIN. he adds. and
Chin Pau Kwai left soon afterward for

The Unemployed to Be Sent to the

Country to Work.
Captain McFee of the Salvation Army
says plan is under consideration and
which will probably be put into operation
this week, whereby the unemployed on
the sapdlot will be given an opportunity
to take work In the country or look out
for themselves in the future.
The captain says the plan Is not suffi-
GENTLY developed as yet to give the details
publicity, but that the men who want
work will be sent to the country.
This move will also involve the closing
up of the souphouse at Seventh and Mis-
sion streets. The recent experience OF the
authorities In endeav0ring to get some of
the men TO work on the streets has dis
couraped efforts in their behalf and de-
cisive measures are to be adopted, 1t is
said, in dealing with those who will not
work in the future.
