THE OFFICERS WE'RE IN 1T.

Two Policemen Who Did Up Nine
Steamboat Fighters.
If anyone thinks the present police
force is deficient in athletic" talent he
can very soon be convinced to the con-
trary by ''tackling" some of its members.
A party of nine stalwart steamboat
hands, who were on lark about O'Clock
yesterday morning, tried it on with two
policemen, and were not long in being
brought to realization of the fact that
they had made serious blunder.
They had taken up a position nearly in
front of the Western Hotel and were
amusing themselves by knocking down
every man that came along. Officers
Maley and Alter heard Of their doings,
and were soon on hand. Their presence
did not in the least intimidate the river
roughs, who concluded they would have
a little picnic "wid der cops"
When the officers told them they must
cease their rOwdyism one six-foot BOO
FOUNDER stepped up to Maley and said:
"Pve cleaned out San Francisco cops
before now, and l can do you"
He made pass at the stalwart officer,
and that was all he did do. Maley, as
erybody knows, is anything but an
infant. The many years that he spent at
and nature has supplied him with her.
culean frame. Beside, he has youth
courage aud sound health, and there are
few men who would have any business
with him in a rough-and-tumble scrap
The tough had no sooner sawed the air
with his fist than Maley sent out his pow
erful right, and his assailant went down
in heap.
Just then another of the crowd let go at
Alter, and the blow reached the officers
nose with some force, but Maley knocked
him galley west' before he could repeat
it.
Then the other fellows began to turn
themselves loose. Maley had his billy in
his inside pocket. and quickly drawing
it he went at the gang. His Irish" was
now fully aroused, and no broth av a
bye ever welded blackthorn at a
Donnybrook gathering with more skill
or effect than he handled that club.
Alter was not so we'll equipped, but ne
did good work, and in about minute
and a half the officers had put the nine
burly fighters to flight. Two of them
they captured, however, and locked them
up long enough to realize that there are
other men who can fight as well as boat
men.

sWIFTER THAN CARRIER PIGEONS.
Falcons Can Carry Greater Weight
and Make Better Time.


Falconry may yet be restored, as it
seems, though not as sport, but as part
of the terribly serious business, war. A
Russian officer, Captain Smoiloff, has
been tanning falcons to serve as dispatch
carriers. The falcon has several advant-
ages over the carrier pigeon, says the
Westminster Gazette. Not only is he a
more warlike bird than the meek cousin
OF the dove, but he is swifter in flight
and capable of great endurance. The
greatest swiftness ever known to be at
tanned by the carrier pigeon is fifteen
German miles an hour, but this is the
rate OF the ordinary flight of the falcon.
D' Aubusson, in his work on 1.-THE Fall
conry of the Middle Ages" tells several
anecdotes of the extraordinary powers of
the falcon and length and swiftness of
flight. For instance falcon which was
sent from the Canary Islands to the Duke
of Lerma in Spain, made the return flight
from Andalusia to Teneriffe in sixteen
hours, which was at the express speed of
sixteen German miles to the hour. A
German mile is not far short of five Eng
lish miles, SO that the speed of this falcon
must have been at the rate of about sew
enty-five miles an hour. A further ad-
vantage of the falcon over the pigeon is
the greater weight which it can carry. 1t
is well-known that very slight burden
is an oppression to the poor pigeon, so
that dispatches are reduced in size by
Photographic copies, in order to reduce
the weight for the feeble little carrier.
Captain Smoiloff says he has found that a
falcon can carry weight Of four Russian
pounds, or 1,640 grams go grams go to
our ounce) without diminishing its power
or swiftness in flying. Besides, the car
rier pigeon may fall prey to the falcon,
while there is small danger of any
other bird taking the carrier falcon pris-

DR.. Yoelcker, the well-known chemist
of the Royal Agricultural Society OF
England, regards the popular idea that
mornings milk is of better quality than
that drawn in the evening as tallacy.
AS far as his experience goes, he says
the result depends on the quality and
quantity of the food which is given to the
COWS four or five hours before milking.
"If the supply of food given In the day
time be good and plentiful. and that fur
nished in the evening be unnutritious
and scanty. the evenings milk is of the
better quality. On the other hand, when
the cows get a good supply of rich food in
the evening and are stinted or fed upon
very watery food during the daytime, the
evening milk is the poorer"

Carriers of BaciIli.

Professor Uffelman infected letter
with the bacilli and put it in the ordinary
way into a postbag. In the course OF
twenty -four hours the letter was taken
out, and the bacilli were still living. They
were also found still living on postal
cards twenty hours after infection, but on
coins they seem to die with great rapidity.
The reason for this difference could not
be discovered. On woolen and linen stutfs
the bacilli enjoyed particularly long
life. The busiest and most effective in
fection carrier was found to be the COM
mon fly.
A fly which had been infected by being
put onto mass of cholera bacilli was
placed on piece of beef. When the beef
was examined soon after, it contained an
enormous quantity OF living bacteria.
Professor Uffelman deduces from his ex-
periments the oft-taught lesson that in
time of epidemics the most scrupulous
cleanliness is the best safeguard

gave most OF the women four months

the women were discharged.

MORE GOLD FOR EUROPE.
Sterling Exchange Rates Bring
About This Movement.
Bankers Have Plenty Of Surplus
Yellow Metal.

The continued rise in sterling exchange
has at last led to an export movement OF
gold to Europe. Heidelbach. Ickelheimer
& Co. this morning engaged 10000 for
shirment by to-morrow's steamer. The
profit on the transaction IS very slight
The high quotations OF Exchange are
due in large measure, to the hardening
Of the discount rates in London and on
the Continent, and the extreme ease in
money here.
The latter Is an inducement to those
having settlements to make abroad to
close up their accounts as quickly as
possible. while foreign houses can en-
ploy their capital to greater advantage
In Europe.
The fact that gold is going out excites
less attention than any similar move
ment for a very long time past, as the
banks have a large stock Of the yellow
metal and money Is such a gut that ex-
ports can make no material difference to
borrowers.
The stock market was extremely dull
and an indisposition to speculate was
manifested on all sides.
