the special illumination of streets which
now seems to be so popular. Consider
ing the progress that is being made
KearnX street before the end of this week
will be blaze of glory at night from
JGeary street as far as Montgomery avenue.
Several leading merchants talked over
the scheme a few days ago, and decided to
ask the Merchants Exchange to help

ers.were at once put into the field, and
such success has been met with that there
is now no doubt that the street will be
brilliantly illuminated.
Employees of the electric light company
have. been at work two days stringing
wires and hanging the new arc lights.
By Saturday night it is expected to turn
on the new lights for the first time, at
least as far down as California street
- Three new arc lights will be suspended
in each block. One will be In the center
OF each street intersection, and the other
two distributed at equal distances through
The block. With the large. number of
private arc and ircandescent lights already
. burning on the street three additional
'sones, it is thought, will give all the illu-
@. mipation desirable if hung in the CEN
ter OF the street, where the light RAYS
may shoot out in all directions. The
..property-owners agree to pay at the rate
cf.seven cents per front foot, and the ten
ants four cents front foot for the new
Ehts.
- II has been reported that so far the
erty-owners on Kearny street. be-
tween Clay and Washington have been
slow in responding. There are compare
lively few property-owners in this block,
the City owning The major part of the
property there in the park and new mu-
nicipal building site. The City will be
asked 10 contri butte its pro rata share of
the expense of lights in the block.
The merchants on the north side of SUIT
ter street, between Kearny and Mont
gomery. from the alley nearly to Kearny
street, have decided TO do a little lighting
OF their own in a way that the prone
naders on Kearny street may not pass it
by .unnoticed. They have hung up Jap
snese lanterns and propose to throw a red,
blue- and green tinge into the glare OF that
vicinity
IN line for street improvement and greater
sttractiveness in the way OF light They
propose to have Third street Illuminated
with six arc lights to a block, from Mar
kst 10 Townsend street. The Merchants
Association was asked yesterday 10 CO.
Operate and consented to do so.

Col1ided Near Port Costa.

Thomas Collie, Peter Deming. John Ericsson
and s. Frederickson, owners of the schooner
EVE, have begun a libel in the United States
District Court against the British bark Ivercoe
and the tug Vigilant. In their libel they set
forth that on the 4th inst. the schooner was
departing from McNear's wharf, Port Costa,
with 2543 sacks of grain, and swung out on
the ebb tide. The bark, attached to the tug,
rounded the point and collided with the
schooner, making it necessary to beach the
little vessel. The latter was damaged to about
$1,000 and the cargo TO about $1,000 The libel
ants claims that they were unable to prevent
the collision but that the Ivercoe, being I'M
der the control OF tug, could have easily got
out of the way.

a referee who is inclined to give unfair de-

A misanthropic father one time
brought up son in entire scclu-
sion from all wcmankind. When
manhood approached he lead the
boy cut through the world on a
tour of observation and described
10 him the various creatures they
met. AS they went, there came
tripping along the path a sweet
young girl, swinging her hat and
smiling from the very glee of exis-
tance. "F2ther" said the startled
youth, "what animal is that?' MY
son." said the father "that very
silly creature, is called a goose! 1t
is also very dangerous" When
this mystical tour was completed
the father was curious TO know

THE ROAD GOETH.

Nov it came to pass that when
the even was come Of the seventh
day, bchcli, Herbert the road
maker, whose surname is Ander-
son, said unto his armor-bclrer,
Murret, surnamdd Jarrett,
Go tc; let US make 4 road from
the great city even unto the
spring that is called Silver.
And they girdcd up their loins,
and gat themselves unto the place
where the read lieth.
Now as they journeyed, behold,
they came unto the house Of one
Sinclair, which was a painter.
Howbeit this man had gone
privily unto the judges, and unto
them that are learned in the law,
and said unto them,
Give me, | pray you, writing,
and stay the hand of this man,
Lest be build his road through
my garden, and lay waste my hab-
itatioD.
SO the Judge said unto the chief
scribe, Go TO now, and make unto
this man a writing, and fix my
great seal upon i, that no man
shall go through the garden OF
this man, or lay waste his habita
tion.
And it was SO.
And he rejoiced with exceeding
great JOY.
Now therefore when Herbert
the roadmaker and his armol
bearer. came unto the house OF
Sinclair the painter, he bargained
with him that he be allowed to &C
through his garden for three score
and fifteen pieces of silver.
HJwbeit Herbert the roadmakel
repented him OF the bargain which
he had made,
Therefore when the night Wa:
come Herbert and his armo1
bcarzr CT themselves unto thI
place where the road lieth,
But when they proceeded te
tear up the ground, behold, there
appeared unto them two armed
men, with shooting irons.
And the E:hiepians which were
tearing up the ground were sore
afraid.
But Herbert said unto the arm
ed men, Depart ye uoto hades, G
words to that effect.
And thsY labyred diligently IN
I'll the morciDg.
And when the Sabbath wa
come, behold. the road was build
ed through the garden.
And tbs owner thereof gat hin
self unto the place where tn
woo dbine, twirelh, ard rent III
clothes, and lifted up his voice an,
wept.
Howbeis the end is rot yet.

Sign Language at Fires.

Among the accomplishments of CHIEF
William @. McAfee, of tho Fire De-
partment, is that of conversing with
deaf mutes by the sign language, says
the Baltimore Sun. The other day
the Chief attracted attention in res
taurant were he sat silently convers-
ing with group of deaf mutes.
He picked up his knowledge of sign
talking from deaf mute friend who
visits him at his headquarters. His
circle of acquaintances among the ST.
lent people has gradually widened un-
til now it includes number of men
in various occupations, each of whom
Is known among his fellows by some
popularity of his own or the occupa-
tion he follows, which is expressed in
sign made with one or both hands.
In an extended conversation Ohief Nc
Aree spells out the words to his friends
by means of the finger alphabet, of
which he is tho master both of the
one-hand and two-hand methods.
The application OF signs to replace
spoken orders in the working of tho
Fire Department suggested itself to
Chief McAfee several years ago. When
he was connected with Engine Com
pany No. l he introduced signs for
turning on and off water, bringing II
fire extinguisher and other short or
ders which had frequently to be given
from distance. The objections found
to the general application of sign or
ders were that smoke obscured them,
as did the darkness of night. In the
day time and with small fire, where
the volume of smoke was not great.
tho signs were found to work satisfac-
tory.

is punished by him with instant death.
He lives in cave. low, but of great
depth, and at roaring fire in front
of it his food Is prepared. There are
no women in his shore household, and
his slaves are Riff pirates chosen by
him to work for him.
Reports of him declare him to reveI
in the bloodshed of his pirate slaves.
Tales of cruelty fill the Barbary coast.
When plunder Is not brought in fast
enough and when attacks are made
upon the pirate band, the rage of the
king is ungovernable, and with his
great bone club he fells his slaves
right and left.
All of the immense plumber of the
Riffs is taken to the king. It is sorted
by him and his slaves into separate
lots. Gold, silver, iron, cloth, and
provisions are collected in great lots,
and placed in caves. Each cave is
guarded by Riff guard armed with
knives.
Provisions, Jewels, metals and nee
essary clothing are dealt out by tho
king to his pirates, reward for their
misdeeds, and taken by them back
into the tangle of wild hills, where
they have homes and farms. Here at
home the king lives in wild splendor,
in the richest of the Barbary valleys.
In cruelty the Riff pirate is unique
In warfare. He admits of no fighting
back. 1t is word and q blow, and
the blow means death. Once having
resisted Riff, no man is allowed to
live, not though he may hoist the
white flag of surrender, and beg on
his knees for his life. He has given
the Riff too much trouble. This is the
kings order. The king never stirs
from his domain. In Justice to tho
Riff 1t may be told that he has not al
ways taken the life of the crew of the
plundered vessel. He is after the
booty, not after life, and If that is
freely given up to him he will return.
Explorers who have had descrip-
tiops of the Riff king say he is q fat
bodied, rough.headed Moor with
face brutal enough and without refine
ment, but with enough cunning to
prompt him to take advantage of the
Anglo-Egyptian and Spanish troubles
to make the Mediterranean his own
free land.

Freak of an Old Duck.

One OF inc OlueSG uuCKB IN Dun
Francisco is named Tom, and no be-
longs to Charles Young, who lives in
the Potrero, about two blocks back
from the shores of the bay. Tom is
nearly six years old, and up to few
months ago was always dignified and
as correct in his demsanor rs tho or
dinary duck. About that time, how
ever, he became possessed of strange
desire to accumulate all tho old shoes
on the water front.
Early every morning he starts out
by himself and is often gone for sew
eral hours. When he returns he is
sure to bring an old shoe and store it
away in the poultry house. AS soon
as he feels satisfied that nobody will
interfere with it, he starts out again,
and soon returns with another. He
will keep this mp oil day, and if shoes
are plentiful will have several dozen
in places stored away by nightfalI.
Tom had been at this peculiar busi-
ness for several days before he was
discovered, and when his owner went
to the poultry house and saw the piles
of old footwear. he thought that he
was being made the victim of prao-
ticnl joke. He dumped the old shoes
out and was more than surprised to
see Tom deliberately start to carry
them back again. Young carried the
the shoes as far away as he could, but
in few hours the duck had them
where he wanted them, and started
out for more.
Since Tom has been in the shoe
business he has forsalen the other
ducks altogether, and seems to have
but one desire in life. People who
have seen him think that it is case
of the duck going crazy.
Mr.. Young has given Tom his own
way the last six months, and made it
a business to throw the shoes out
every few days, so. as to give him a
chance to carry them back again. But
he says it is getting monotonous, and
that if Tom doesn't get over his fool.
ishness socn he will be forced to try a
remedy that will surely cure him, al
though ho hates this, because Tom is
too old and tough to mako good eat

Fish Tint YaWn.

1t is not generally known that fish
yawn. The writer saw turbot yawn
twice, and cod once-the latter being
one of the widest yawns accomplished
by any animal of It's size. The yawn
of turbot being something not COM
monty seen, deserves more particular
description. A turbot's mouth is
twisted on one side, rather as if it had
belonged to round fish which some
one had accidentally trodden on and
squashed half fiat. The yawn begins
at the lips, which open as if to suck in
water. Then the jaws become dis.
tended, and it is seen that this is going
to be real, genuine submarine tish's
yawn. But the yawn goes on, works
through the back of its head, distend-
ing the plates of the skull, and comes
out at the gills, which open, show the
red inside, are inflated for a moment,
and then, with kind of stretching
shiver of its back, the fish fiattens out
again, until, if unusually bored, it re-
lieves itself by another yawn, Tho
SDectator.

The Fair Bicyclist and the Enraged Mule

Yesterday morning woman was
riding along the smooth asphalt Of
South Figueroa street. A wagon drawn
by two big mules was driving slowly
along the street. The fair bicyclist
wished to get ahead of the wagon.
There was not much room between the
wagon and the curb, but she determ-
ined to try to pass. She rolled silent
ly and swiftly on. The danger was
almost over. But when she happened
to glance at the mules and saw how
very close they were, her heart rolled
up into her mouth. She gasped,
turned pale and began to wobble.
Instinctivoly the woman put out her
hand toward the nearest support-the
hind leg of one of the mulee.
Then cyclone was let loose. The
wheelwoman miraoulously escaped
without injury. but the insulted mule
kicked the wind out of the pneumatic
tires, the spokes out of the axles, the
screws out of the saddle and tine stuff
ing out of the whole wheel. Los An
