LORD BUTE'S HOME.
Probably the Most PaIafial Residence
in Britain.
ST. Louis Republic,

The rebuilding of Mount Stuart, Lord
Bute's palace near ROtbesav. Scotland,
makes it the most magnificent residence in
Great Britain. The base of the building
covers fraction more than an acre, and is
built in the medieval Gothic style of tile
thirteenth century. The walls, turrets ana
balconies are built of the beautiful varie-
gated GRANTEES and sandStoEes from Krkcud-
brightshire, the floors and arches being IF
clouded Italian marbles. The main hall is
constructed entirely OF alabastar, the sup
ports being columns of oxidZed brass and
bronze.
The gallery and grand staircase are of
marble brought from Sicily and Carrara.
The drawing-rooms are paneled with alter
nate stripes Of cherry, walnut and ebony
all from America. The main dining-room
which wOs built so as TO accommodate $50
guests, is finished after the style of the
drawing rooms, with the exception of relief
figures and mosaics of fish, game, animals,
etc. The ceilings and chimney pieces OF
these rooms are most artistic, and so, also
are the windows. mantels and doors, the
work Of which is extremely elaborate.
There are three immense libraries and a
billiard room. all with carved stone fire.
places Of antique design. In one wing there
are Turkish and swimming baths, large

The whole palace is he0 ted throughout

Frank came trOttng in with his ears ard

DO you want to go out. Frank?" asked
the mistress
Frank playfully jumped into Mrs. Hughes
lap and squatted on his launches
The question was repeated, and Frank
elevated his head and opened his mouth to
about the fullest extent, and answered as
follows;
low wan t'go-Ow."
The words came with remarkable clear
ness, and without any stretch of the imagin-
alton could be distinctly understood as Il

These words the dog repeated several
times.
"Who do you love, Frank?" was next
asked Of the dog.
The question was repeated several times
before Frank answered, q

the words pa pa" seyera! times. and then
came out with:

Hughes, land to relieve the monOtOny OF

when he was quite puppy.

when we are alone, and he frequently says
whole sentences after me which can be
recognized, but he never retains them and
can seldom be induced to say them over.
"WhFnever he wants to 90 out he goes to
the door and utters the words I want 10 go
out
HE has learned to understand what those
sounds mean and can intelligently use
them"
Frank can not only talk. but he has a
good ear for music and can sing fairly we'll.
He does not sing like other dogs-stsrt up

lasts.
Frank will follow the notes up and down
the scale and have as much regard for time
as singing master
Franks human instincts are particularly
we'll developed.
If his mistress does not come and let him
out when he asks he will pull at her skirts
and lead her over to the door to be opened,
or if he attempts to tell her anything she
does not understand be will lead her to

some capeTS to make his wishes as plain as
possible TO his mother" as Mrs. Hughes
calls herself.
The dog was year old last July and he
becomes more proficient in talking daily.
Some of those who have heard Frank talk
say that If he keeps on he may become
Mayor Of Oakland, aud they say he would
be a better chief officer than some they
could mention.

A DroIl Council.

At one time fire broke out and much dam
age was done because the engines were out
OF repair The Council met, and after much
argument 1t was voted that on the eve PR
ceding every fire the town officers should
carefully examine the engines, pumps, etc.
One of the greatest profits Of the town was
the toll exacted at the gates. The Council
wished to increase the income, and instead
OF increasing the toll it voted 70 double the
number of gates. This same Council also
ordered the sun dial to be taken from the
Courthouse common and placed under GOV r,
where it would be protected from the
weather But of all the queer things that
are told of Kempen and its people nothing
is so absurd as this: Grass grew on the top

EXPERT BURGLARS.
A Gang of Experienced
CraCksmen Working.
They Rob Store Stocked With Safes
and Study Various Locks on
the Iron Boxes.

The police detectives believe that there
are now in this city two or more experienced
and expert safe burglars, or. in police
parlaDce, ''cracksmen." and they base their
opinion upon the bold work done at SlS
Market street on Tuesday night. when the
store of David N. Hawlsy. agent for the
Cincinnati Safe and Lock Company, was
entered. and not only the office safe blown
open, but a number of new safes in the
store opened and the locks and mechanism
carefully examined.
When the boy who sweeps out Mr.. Haw-
ley's Office reached the store yesterday
morning he saw the door of the safe in the
office standing open and the books and
papers it usually contained scattered
around on the floor In front of the strong
box. With unusual good judgment the boy
did not disturb anything, but at once went
TO his employers residence and notified MIR.
Hawley that something was wrong at the
store. When Mr.. Hawley arrived on the
scene he at once informed the police that
his place bad been entered by burglars. and
Detective Bohen was Immediately sent to
the store. An examination OF the Office
safe showed that the outer safe door had
been opened by running the combination,
and then the "cracksmen" had opened al
most every safe In the soreroom and
taken therefrom the Keys TO the in
side doors, with which they tried TO
open the lock of the inner door
of the office safe. The keys failed
TO work and then the burglars drilled three
holes in the inner door of the Office safe. in
serted a heavy charge Of explosive of some
kind with quick fuse, and. setting the
latter on fire. closed the outer door of the
safe, turning the bolts, and awaited the
explosion. BY closing the outer safe door
the noise of the explosion was almost COM
pletely deadened. The inner safe door as
wrecked by the powder, but the thieves got
little for their trouble. there being only
about $50 worth OF jewelry in the strong
box. This they took. After ransacking the
Office they returned to the storeroom and
evidently spent several hours in examining
Inc locks on various MAKES of safes. All
the finer safes we're found open with the
combination locks unscrewed and various
bolts and knobs taken off so that the whole
mechanism OF the safe could be studied. In
The morning call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1878-1895, 1893-01-26

addition the thieves carried away all The
KEYS to the inner doors If the safes they
could lay their hands on. The job was done
deliberately. without noise. The parties
doing it were evidently old hands at the
business.
The burglars left behind them a short
handled sledge- hammer and crudely con-
structed dark lantern. but the police are
satisfied that neither sledge or dark lantern
was used, but that they were left merely to
try and make the detectives believe that
the burglars were green hands.
1t Is safe to say that for the next month
or two the detectives will put in consider
able time studying that department Of the
rnGues' gallery which contains the portraits
OF noted safebrcakers and then looking for
the originals of the pictures on the streets.
