THE VAULT IS A WONDER.
A New York clearinghouse to Have
Strong Treasure-Box.


Strong Treasure-Box.
A New York firm of safe-makers is put
ting the finishing touches on what is said
to be the strongest vault in the world. 1t
will be placed in the New York Clearing
house i'll a few days and will be both
burglar and mob proof. 1t will weigh ESQ.,
COO pounds, the outer doors alone weighing
10000 pounds each. Expert safe breakers
could not force an entrance under eight
days, even if allowed the use of the high
est explosives.
The plan of this great treasure box is
series of vaults within a vault. More than
500, 000,0 900 in gold can be stored in it.
Special compartments have been made to
receive bags of yellow metal, each having
a dynamite-proof door. There are $50
compartments, some of which are for the
millions of checks that pass through the
clearinghouse annually.
The vault is II feet inches high, "a feet
81 inches wide and 16 feet inches deep.
A truck will have to be built to carry it
from the plant on the east side to the

provements suggested by the practical ex-
perlence of millmen during the last two
years with this class of machinery.
The Pacific Coast Cooperative Cigar
Company is increasing the volume of its
output to meet the extra demand for the
products of the company occas1oned by the
extra call for home-manufactured goods
recently developed.
The krogh Manufacturing Company this
week closed contract to supply a centrifu-
gal pump, with engines of sufficient ca
paclty to deliver 0,000 gallons per minute
seventeen feet high. This plant is to be
finished complete and erected on the San
Joaquin River bank. The company also
shipped pump of 1000 gallons capacity
per minute, and another Of 600 gallons to
the southern part of the State. Another
oUNgallon pump was shipped to the inte-
nor. There has been considerable de-
mand for piping with gate valves and fit
tlngs for mines recently. They are now
building lot to stand $50 pounds per
square inch for mine in South America.
Stelger q Kerr. foundrymen, who have
recently added stove manufacturing
plant to their works, have one of their new

new CRICKET CHAMPIONS.
BohemianS Pass the Alan edaS
in the Race for the
Cup.
Defeat Encountered by the PaclfIcs
In the Golden Gate
Match.

Captain Robertson of the Bohemians
covered himself with glory in the match
played at Alameda yesterday, as his club
mas practically to thank him for beating
the champions. During the game he scored
los runs for once out, and in addition to
this obtained nine wickets for twenty -four
runs little over two runs per wicket, a
most unique performance.
The champions won the toss and sent in
the Bohemians to bat; Capt ain Robertson
and Bowhill opened the inning, and so
we'll did they play that sixty-seven was
scored before wicket fell, Bowhill then
being bowled by full pitch by Ward Jr.
for well played twenty-five. The rest OF
the eleven were unable to get into double
figures, the inning closing for 1O6, Robert
son scoring fifty-six, showing first-cIass
cricket and not giving vestige of a
chance.
Captain Hood and Morey opened the
inning of the Alameda, but Morey soon
lost his captain who was smartly caught
by Sugg at cover point. Hogue and ,Slo-
man made little resistance and put on
twenty-five during their partnership and
saved the side from total humiliation.
Burbidge was the only other Alamadan to
obtain double figures, the inning ending
for seventy-one, leaving the champions
thirty-five runs in arrear.
In the second inning of the Bohemians
four wickets quickly fell for twenty-one
runs; then Webster was joined by his
captain who made little diversion for the
champions in the Misunderstanding line until
Webster was unfortunately run out for the
second time and stumps were drawn then
leaving the Bohemians victorious by
thirty-five runs on the first inning. This
victory places the Bohemians in the lead
for the cup VINO have five and half points
in their favor against the Champions five
points. The score:

Sad Fate of an Accomplished Parro


Mr.. and Mrs. V. ]. Shimek of this city
mourn the death of a parrot, which is said
by some to have been the only Bohemian
speaking parrot in America. The bird,
which was named Victor, was a native of
Texas and was brought to Baltimore seven
months ago as a present to Mr.. Shimek.
1t soon became great favorite among the
Bohemian visitors to the Shimek home
and also endeared itself to the family. In
Bohemian the bird addressed the heads of
the family, respectively, as ''pa' and una, -
and f1uently used other Bohemian words
in making known its wants or in sagely
making appropriate remarks in the way OF
asking or answering questions.
Always of an inquisitive mind, on
Thursday curiosity conquered the parrot.
and it began an investigation of an I'M
lighted gasoline stove on which a number
of irons were resting. The first tweak at
the iron frame broke the birds bill, and
another strong pull at the stove toppled
the weight of the iron over on the parrot.
When the stove was righted Victor's life
less body was found crushed beneath it.
Cremation was the end of the tragedy.
the birds body being tenderly taken np
and incinerated.- Baltimore Sun.

exact another 500 for this year, since they
already hold yearly licenses for which they
paid 500, under the previous ordinance,
and it is their purpose to fight the matter
in the courts.
