A Thriftless Genius.

Leigh Hunt had no sense either OF
time or OF money-a grave fault, per-,
haps M objectionable vice, in O man
who had q wife aud children depending,
upon him. AS long as he lived he was:
thriftless and needy, lender and a.
borrower, so generous that he could
never afford to be just, bringing upon
those whom he loved sincerely o con-
stant burden of debt and care. How
reprehensible this was he seems never,
to have felt (though he blames himself
freely and light heartedly), and il the
reader Of his autobiography is disposed
to feel sorry for Mrs. Hunt it is not.

Disccrned In the Window Where Bicycles
Are Exhibited.
A deliver into literature has this to
say about the bicycle:

for the scribe who has to explain the
merits of novelists to an indolent pub

IT may be said of water, as of fire,
that it is good servant but a bad
master. The city administration
has doubtless arrived at this con-
clusion, as the city water works
have complete mastery over them.
They have had to acknowledge the
self-evident fact that the city aries
ian well is more than they can
handle, and now they are trying to
find way to plug it up, that they
can bore new one. The new one
will only cost the taxpayers, or that
portion of the taxpayers who use
city water, about $500, but that is
a trifie when we consider the great
surplus of funds with which Pull

likewise great stock ofeXperience in
municipal affairs our city officers
are gaining. Let this administra-
ton of economy continue!

fciency remaining after payment OF
the subventions. The exposition
of 1889 was paid for, and there was
money in hand for the cost of ad-
minislration, before the gates were
opened. This was done by a very
ingenious scheme of issuing bonds
for 25 francs each, each Of which
bore twenty-five coupons which
were receiva Die as admission tick
cts. The extreme period Of pay
ment for the bonds was twenty-five
wears, but, beginning with the ex-
position year, there were to be
eighty-one drawinas of the numbers
of the bonds to be paid off, and the
first two or three numbers drawn
were to be entitled to lottery prizes.
The holder of each bond thus &C.
quired a lottery ticket, twenty-five
admission tickets, and the certainty
of getting his money back. without
interest, within a time which might
be anywhere between few months
and seventy-fve years.
The scheme was a brilliant sue
cess, and had this, among other
unexpected results, of giving the
public the benefit of considerable
reduction in the price Of admission.
The amount paid to the exposition
by the syndicate of bankers who
took the bonds, after providing a
sinking fund, for their gradual re-
demption, was $4,300,O0O, which
added to the receipts from conces-
sions and privileges, the returns
from the sale of old materials, and
the amount contributed by the
state and the City of Paris, brought
the total revenues Of the exposition
up to very nearly 100000. AS
the exposition cost less than $780,
900, there was surplus of about
81 100000 to be divided in the ra-
ito of their contributions between
the state and the City of Paris.
The problem of 1900 is a more diff
fcult one. 1t is not a question of
getting $500O,000, but of raising
twice that amount on the pledge of
entrance tickets. Profting by the
example of Chicago, which collected
nearly ten times as much from con-
cessions and privileges as Paris did
in 1889, it is probable that the
managers of the show of 1900 will
extract q great deal more than
4OO,OOO-the amount reported by
their professionalism that source
But, even it it were 100000,
there would still remain $10,O00,0OO
to be raised mainly on admissions.
1t will be found a good deal easier
to double the size and cost of the
exposition than to double the num-
Der Of it's visitors.
The indirect gains of the enter
prise are less open to question. The
provinces argue from experience
that it will draw a great deal of
money from them, even as the
states Of the central west found the
Columbian exposition severe
drain on their current cash. But
the exposition of 1899 brought the
government an increase of $1,000
900 in receipts from customs and
other taxes, while in the increase of
octroi duties the City of Paris re-
ceived 81 100000. In the half-year
in which the exposition was open

Paris had an increase of passenger

CLEVER CAPTURE
OF TWO BURGLARS
They Broke Into a House
on Bush Street, Near
Hyde.

DR.. Walter N. Thompson, Who
Lives Opposite, Noticed Them
and Gave the Alarm
WERE CAUGHT IN THE HOUSE
A Third Burglar Succeeded in Making
His Escape, but the Police Are
After Him.

| A clever capture of two burglars was
made by Policeman J. D. Mclean last
night while they were in the act of robbing
the house at 1116 Bush street, occupied by
William D. Keyston of Keyston Bros,
whip manufacturers. He is at present in
Europe, but his wife's sister occupied the
house until a few days ago, when she
| went to San Jose on a visit, leaving the
servant girl in charge. The servant girl
went out last night and it was during her
absence that the burglar eDte red the
house.
The burglars gave their names as George
Green and Thomas Kelly. Green is the
taller and younger of the two. He gave
his age as seventeen. Kelly is a year
older.
DR.. Walter N. Thompson lives at 1923
Bush street and about half-past o'clock
last night be noticed three young men
acting suspiciously on the opposite side
of the street. Knowing that the family
who occupied No. 1116 was in the country
he decided to watch the movements of the
| three strangers. He saw them go to the
rear OF the house and he at once went in
search of policeman.
The doctor met Mclean and together
they went to the house. They noticed a

out. Mclean wisely concluded not to
waste time whistling for assistance, so he
stationed DR.. Thompson at the front door,
which to their surprise they found open,
and he went TO the rear.
A window was wide open, through which
entrance had evidently been effected, and
the rear door was also open, the burglars
leaving both front and rear doors open as
means of escape either way in case of
being surprised at their work.
Mel an cautiously made his way to the
top floor, where he had seen the light, and
as he neared the top of the stairs he heard
the burglars drop on the floor. He caught
Green and marched him downstairs and
on to the street, where he manacled him
to an iron hitching-post.
Word had been telephoned to the Gen.
trail police station and Lieutenant Bird
sail instructed the wagon at tie North
End station to drive as quickly as possible
to the house. AS the wagon reached the
house Mclean was searching for the other
two burglars. Policeman Charleston, who
accompanied the wagon, assisted him and
they found Kelly concealed in closet.
Every nook and corner in the house was
searched for the third burglar, but he
could not be found and the officers were

Lean was hitching Green to the post In

down ICY MOUNT HOOD
Messrs. Goode and Gannett
Obliged to Use Ropes and
Alpenstccks.
Sulphur and Smoke From the Noun.
tain-The Recent 0utburst Merely
a RockSlide.

Richard q. Goode and Henry Gannett of
the United States Geological Survey
arrived here yesterday after several months
in Idaho and other parts of the North
west.
On their way down they went to the top
of Mount Hood with the idea Of esta plish-
ing a triangalation station there, but
found that the smoke from surrounding
forest fires was so dense as to make>the
idea impraeticabie.
They went to the town of Hood River, on
the Columbia, by boat, and then took a
blackboard coach and saddle horses by
way of Cloud Cap Inn. They proceeded
onward to the snow line, climbing the
mountain on foot, as is necessary for a
good portion of the journey.
The gentlemen were there at the time
of the alleged outbreak of stones and
ashes, but say that all it appeared to have
been was simply a rockslide.
There are loose piles of rocks along the
great mountain in many places, and the
moving of any one of these, which occurs
frequently, causes scores of tons of rocks
to be dislodged and go gathering thou
sands of feet away. This appears to have
been about all the Mount Hood outburst
amounted TO.
However. there is and has been for a
great many years, so Messrs. Goode and
GaEnett state, smoke and suiphuric ennis
sions from the mountain. The air is at
times very strongly impregnated with the
smell of smoke and sulphur.
ION the upper part of the mountain
there was good deal of ice," added Mr..
Goode, land in places the mountain
dipped ut an angle of about forty-tiye de-
grees. 1t was so steep that it was quite
dangerous, and we were obIiged-three of
US. with the guide--to rope ourselves to-
gether and proceed very carefully with
alpenstocks in hand.
I'VE had hoped to be able to establish
triangulation station on the top, and
would have zone so, and made some
triangulations. but it was impossible be-
cause of the smoke from the burning
timb Der in the surrounding country. The
woods we're burning in all directions"
The gentlemen are glad to again be in
San Francisco, after their long absence.
They say that sheep men are this year in
vading the crests of the high mountains
in Idaho, and of the Cascade Mountains
in Washington. These have all ed in
driving out the game. and it is said they
even make the fish scarce by mnddying
the streams.
