have been springs in it and perhaps 1t had
been wound up. l have never seen it
since. My friend winked at me in an
aggravating sort of way and left without

l.. Gaviati. the secretary of the company,
was anxious to have the scent assessment
levied in order to Derpetuate hope if not
motion. He still believes that the right
man" can make itgo. but he doesn't know
where to lay his hands on that much
wanted individual. There is one thing
that puzzles Mr.. Gaviati very much, which,
words, is as follows:
"Some time ago." he said. "the directors
decided to a make thorough investigation
Of the model. They had seen it run. but
they also wanted to see for sure just how
and why il did run. They had it taken to
pieces and examined by competent me-
chanics. 1t was again put together just as
it was before, butt will not run little
bit. Still, l guess it's all right. Maybe
there was some mistake in putting ii to-
gether--I don't know. We have spent
much money. The sum of $1,000 has been
paid out for applications for patents alone.
We can't afford to give it uD now. If it
comes out successful we will all get rich,
very rich"
But the worst feature of the perpetual
motor situation is that the inventor and
chief manipulation Of the three balls and
spirals has left his shop of mystery and
marvellous power and gone to Mexico.
Senior de la Tore is his name, and he
had a good thing SO long as it lasted.
When the cash in the treasury ceased to
be visible to the naked eye he quit and
vamosed. For several months De la
Tore drew salary of SIS a week the
while he smoked cigarettes in his shop at
512 Green street and unused over the fat
ness that could be drawn from a stock
company with 1850 shares of assess
able stock afloat. But one day the
treasurer TOLD the mechanic that there
was no more ready cash in the treasury,
and this made Senior de la Tore very sad.
Two months ago be went to Manana Land,
and he hasn't returned. Neither has he
heralded forth the news that he will re-
turn.
In the meantime l.. P. GALL. who was
assistant engineer to De la Tore. has con-
tinued to work out the plans and specifi-
cations made by his former master. Last
night Mr.. CALI stated that he thought
the machine would eventually be a grand
success, but he could give no definite in
formation as to the time when the per-
petual motor will be completed and in
running order. At present il is without
motion except such as Signor CALI gives
to its several parts.

BURGLARS AT WORK.
They Break Into and Loot the House
of DIR. w. p. Chalmers.


Some time during last Monday the resi-
dance OF Dr. William P. Chalmers at 1904
Page street was entered by burglars and
completely looted. The doctor and his
family have been out of town for several
days, and the house was securely locked
up, although relative slept in the place
at night. he was the first to discover that
thieves had broken into the place when he
returned home on Monday night
Every room in the house was in state
of disorder. Trunks, bureaus and closets
had been turned inside out by the thieves
10 their search for yalua bles. Even mat
tresses had been ripped open. The thieves
had evidently taken their time at their me-
farious work, for ten bottles of cham
payne and bottle of old brandy had been
consumed by them. Silverware to the
value OF $S5 was carried of, but that was
about all they could find that could be car
ried off easily. The doctors home has
been burglarized twice before in the past
few months.

Blows Out His Brains.

Blows Out His Brains,
Otto peyl blew out his brains yesterday
morning and left widow and two young
children to struggle for their daily bread
because he owed and could not pay bill
of $50.
Deyl lived at % ColIingwond street and
earned rather uncertain living by selling
soda water. Early yesterday morning he
arose. apparently in good spirits, and after
breakfasting with his family retired to the
parlor. where his little son found his dead
body an hour later. He had thrust the
muZzle of an old shioned pistol into his
mouth and blown out his brains.
Deyl left the following note in explana-
tinn OF his suicide:
Mr.. 2. wanted me 10 pay him that $50 owe
him yesterday, but didn't have the money, IS
my business does not pay. I cannot meet any
other debts either, so / have decided TO take

EVERY LITTLE HELPS.
Men of Small Means Asked to Aid
the Valley Road.

the Valley Road.
The executive committee of the Traffic
Association is getting in some effective
work these days for the San Joaquin
Valley Railway proposition, although they
are not saying anything about it. Their
efforts are being directed largely to calling
upon persons of moderate means who may
feel inclined TO aid 1.-THE project, but who
have never as yet been asked directly to
do so.
1t is suggested that there could easily be
found 1000 men and women in this city
who would be willing to invest 500 each
in the stock of the road if the proper
means were utilized to bring the matter to
their attention. As one of the members of
the committee said yesterday: Those
people will not come forward of their own
accord with small subscriptions, and it is
absolutely necessary that we should wait
upon them if we expect to get their assist
ance. To do this will require the employ-
ment of a larger force of men than we
lave at present and the adoption of
somewhat different plan from that pursued
in the past"
