Lively Encounter With

George Grasp. about % years of e,who
| lives at 240 Fell street. had an exciting en-
counter with two footpads about O'Clock
on Friday morning. He works at the
| Weston Basket and Manufacturing Com
pany's establishment 662 Bryant street.
| He left home on Friday morning about a
quarter to o'clock as he had some mat
ters to attend to at the Office before going
over TO Oakland.
AS he was walking along Howard street
! two men who were standing in the
shadow on the corner of Russ street
sprang upon him. One of them grabbed
him by the arms and drew them quickly
behind his back, while the other deftly
went through his pockets, taking So. all

the elder of the two robbers, ''or Wen put
a hole through you"
| Crasp's blood was up, and as he wanted
his money back he made a jump for the
! one who went through his pockets. The
robber drew a knife and aimed two vicious
| blows at Grasp. One cut hole in his
| oyercoat In the vicinity of his abb men
| and the other. which was aimed at his
heart also sliced hole in his Overcoat
| The progress of the knife was stopped by
| an account-b book which he had In his over
| coat pocket The cover of the book shows
the mark of the knife. There is no doubt
that Grasp has to thank the book for not
being killed or at least dangerously
wounded He was struggling with the
man with the knife when the other pulled
out a revolver aud with An oath told him
TO ''Iet up or he would blow out his brains.
Seeing that he had no chance against two
armed men Crasp gave up the struggle,
and the two robbers ran down Russ street
and disappeared In the darkness.

wears of age, of medium size, and the other

could identify them. as it was dark at the
time and they did not give him much op-
nortunity to have a good look at them.
His only regret is that he did not have a
revoIyer with him.

Occidental Hotel.

Nothing succeeds like success" and
now that Major Hooper has got all his i'm
provemeEts about finished. the ''Occiden-
taP' is like new place. No house On the
Pacific Coast is more popular. and tile
reasons why it should be so are legion.
The hotel is comfortable, its cuisine is
perfect, its attendants are obliging and
understand their business. and above all,
its head, Major Hooper, is model mana
ger. He appreciates the fact that guests
nowadays expect great things, and he
spares. no time or expense To give them
what they want. When host runs a
splendid hotel on those lines, there can be
only one possible result-success. No one
grudges the Major his due praise, and the
ever-io creasing demand for rooms and re-
freshments at the Occidental proves that
his efforts are being substantially re-
warded.
American hotels have earned a world
wide name for themselves, and are the
constant subject OF conversation among
travellers. During the Midwinter Fair
visitors will have an opportunity of seeing
what Western hosteIres are like, and a
house like the Occidental is one of which

DEALS IN REALTY.
n. II. Lang Is a Very
Successful Operator.
His Transactions During the Past
Year Have Been on a Large
Scale and Profitable.

From his boyhood N. H. Lang, the
wei[known real estate agent whose
office is at the southeast corner of Mont
gomery and Suffer streets, has been
brought up in the business, and his
opinion on values of realty is considered
as one of the leading authorities in the
city.
de is often called upon as an expert in
such matters. not only by large estates.
but by many Of his COMPETITORS, who re-
gard his judgment as ore which can be-
depended upon.
In large measure Mr.. Lang has grown
up with the marvellous growth of a great
city, and he has not been slow to record
for reference the various fluctuations
which have taken place as improvements
advance in the many additions which of
late years sprung up throughout the city's
limits.
With this knowledge, which ne usuallv
carries In his head, 1t is not surprising
that he has a class of customers which
keep him busy at all times.
OF late bis deals have reached the hum
dreds of thousands ana one of them in
particular may be referred to as one of the
largest that has ever been contaminated
in San Francisco. viz: the subdivision and
quick disposal of building lots near Golden
Gate Park.
This tract is not only large, but il is the
most desirable location for homes. It over
looks the park and is situated on a gentle
slope.
Several lines of cable-cars pass the prop
erty and it is also traversed by the Metro
politan electric railroad
In other parts of the city he has for sale
some very choice income and residence
properties.
AS a real estate auctioneer Mr.. Lang is
SUPERIOR to any of his confreres in that line
and he has the faculty of creating enthus-
iasm among bidders when their disposition
Is often of a tedious character. This was
exemplified particularly when the auction
sale Of the tract above referred was first
brought before the public in subdivisions.
At that time real estate was not over
brisk. but Mr.. Lang succeeded in dispos-
ing Of many residence lots at fair prices
and tn ose who did not purchase at the sale
have since paid him advanced rates for
home sites.

More Use for Californian

Testing and Analysing PilarCitos
Water to Ascertain Its Adapt
ability for Ale.

Famous in all countries is the celebrated
water at Burton on-Trent in England. It
is supposed to be the finest in the world
for brewing purposes, and sufficient ale Is
| turned out annually to float a fleet. An
expert from that town has been making
some analyses to fin d if none of the Cali
fornian reservoirs can furnish similar
quality. If it is found that water similar
to that al Burton can be got in California,
1t will soon be unnecessary TO import Eng
fish ale. Trials are being made of the
water OF Lake Pilarcitos, seven miles from
Milbrae. If the tests and analysis prove
satisfactory, overtures will be made to the
Spring Valley Water Company for sup
ply. 1t is known that the PilarcitOS water
Is singularly pure and free from every
kind of deleterious matter, and that the
company spends good deal of money in
keeping it so, but it has not yet been shown
that it has those peculiar properties for
which Burton is renowned. ALL the Spring
Valley Company's reservoirs will be tried
in turn, and the Engishman's opinion is
that among so many splendid bodies
of water 1t will not be difficult. to get
what he desires If so there will be more
capital invested In California very shortly
1t is probable that Lake Pilarcitos will be
the water chosen, provided that the Spring
Valley people come to terms*

when men only had brute instincts,
the feelings wore not high. the sentl-

they exhaust quicker. This Is sad,
