ARRIVAL OF VISITORS
The invitations which were sent out by MT
Mills stated that the house would be open for
inspection from to " m. Promptly on the
opening hour the guests began to arrive, ana
wandered about the vast building. The great
parlor which occupies the whole Bleeker-st
front on the main floor. which will be used as a
library, reading and smoking room. was mucn
admired, and one could hear some one in every
group express wonder that all this comfort.
all this elegance. could be enjoyed by the guest
who pays 90 cents night. The Kitchen pam
try and china closets were inspected. and the
large care, WITH It's pOHSIth tdDi'" anu wv
chairs attracted particular attention because
of the pyramids of dainties. salads and sand
wches which stood ready TO be served by the
little army Of Background Mattresses as soon
as the opening ceremonies were over.
W. f. Richie the chef, and James A. Brown.
the head steward received many congratula-
lions the appearance Of the place.
THE sIEEPING-ROOMs.
But the sleeping rooms were to many OF the
visitors Of the most interest. These are to be
the chief sources of revenue. and the 2O-cent
room" is really the feature Of the Mills House.
They are not large, but clean perfectly venti-
lated and comfortable Each room has at
least one window. and many have two. The
one looking upon the court has no glass. and
the window space is taken up with a wire screen,

and sheets and pillow slips made Of frst-quaity

COOL DARING
OF A FOOTPAD
Israel Silver Held Up on
Minna and New Mont
gomery.
The Robber Told Him Times
Were Hard and He Must
Have His Money.
Police Vainly Searching for the Per
petrators Of the Recent Rob-
berries.

HolG-upS are occurring with alarming
frequency and the police are satisfied that
there is gang of bold footpads at work
who have possibly been recently released
from San Quentin.
Saturday night shortly after 10 o'clock
Israel Silver, 2l1 Tehama street, was on
his way home, and had reached the cor
ner of Minna and New Montgomery
streets, when a man with handkerchief
covering the lower part of his face con-
fronted him and, presenting revolver at
his head, ordered him to throw up his
hands.
Silver was terror stricken and could not
obey the command too quickly. The foot
pad, taking in the situation, coolly showed
his revolver in mis- hip pocket, and grab
blng Silver by the neck, remarked: "Ex-
cuse me, but times are hard, my friend,
and I've got to get all the money you
have"
The robber quickly searched Silver's
pockets, securing So gold piece and 81 in
silver, all the coin he had In his posses
sion.
"Much obliged, my frlend," said the
footpad now skip and keep your mouth
shut or I'Il bore hole through you."
Silver walked away as fast as his legs
could carry him, but when he met Police
man Menihan his courage returned, and
he told the officer about being held up
and robbed. He accompanied Mcmillan
back to Minna and New Montgomery, but
of course there was no sign OF the footpad,
but the police have good description OF
him, and he may be arrested soon.
The police are surprised at the desperate
chances taken by the footpad, as there
are usually lots of people passing the
corner referred to about that hour OF the
night.
Every effort is being made by the police
to capture the footpads who held up j.
Burns, grocer, on Langton street, Tuesday
night, and J. ]. Green, grocer, Twentieth
and Harrison streets, Thursday night, but
as yet without success. Each policeman
has written description of the men in
his pocket, but they have so far succeeded
III eluding their vigilance.
