have on the prosperity of the State by
keeping the interest in circulution here
instead of sending it to Europe ana the
East, the people at large will grow TO see
that there is a large accumulation OF capi-
tai here and that San Francisco is pre-
eminently the commercial and financial
center of the Pacific Coast
I'm my jud gment the bonds these people
have bought are going 70 be an excellent
investment. IL naturally insures the COM
pletion of the terminal point of the road
on the bay of San Francisco.
This is matter of vast Importance to
us, and it means more than appears on
the surface. 1t is great thing for San
Francisco; it is an event OF importance in
The history OF California, and it means
much for the whole Pacific Coast. 1t Is
clear dem monstration that matters financial
have turned into more favorable chan
nel."
George W. McNear, whose interests as
shipping and commission merchant, grain
dealer and flour merchant are well known
all over the State, was also free in his ex-
preston of pleasure at the event. To him
it meant that the key has been turned
preparatory to opening the door OF finance
on the coast.
II have been so busy that l have not
had time TO read the article in its en-
tirety." he said, ''but the headlines and
the list or names OF the DOnd purchasers
are enough to show its Importance. IL is
news / am glad to hear.
'In the first place it will keep the
money of the State in circulation here
and the interest where it rig htfuIly be.
longs. 1t is practical application of the
protective principle and will keep the
East and Europe from uraining our treas
ury."
Levi Strauss, president of large incor-
poration of importers and dealers in dry
and furnishing goods, one OF the citv's
representative men, said he believed it TO
be an excellent thing that the bonds were
taken here.
II was just at this instant starting in to
read that the work on the Stockton end of
the line is being pushed forward" he
stated. Previously to that1 had read Of
the bonds being taken by local people and
was glad to hear of it. 1t will have ten
dencv to awaken an interest in San Fran
cisco and in San Francisco capital that
will be felt In very short time.
Not only will the interest remain here
and benefit the whole State, but l must
say that the investors displayed a deal OF
acumen. 1t is mighty good investment
and the security is gilt edge"

DAYLIGHT BURGLARIRS.

Two Men Operating in the Mission
CIeverly Captured.
Jack Martin, alias McGinnis, an ex-
convict, and George Raymond and an
other man, broke into the residence OF
Mrs. Perrin, 1887 Market street, Friday at
ternoon, and after an exciting chase Mar
tin and Raymond were captured by Police
man Porter. They were charged with
burglary.
Yesterday it was ascertained that on
Septem ber 10 Martin and Raymond en-
tered the residence OF Mrs. Lotus, 428
Diamond street, but were scared off before
taking any plunder. The same day they
entered the residence of Mrs. Dewey, 907
Diamond street, and got away with a
quantity of jswelry. A few days later
they broke into the residence OF William
Clancy, Twenty-second and Eureka
streets, and secured some jewelry. They
were booked on another charge of bur-
glary and an attempt at burglary.
The police at the Seventeenth-street sta
ton believe that they are the men
who have committed mum ber of other
daylight burglaries in the Mission, includ-
ing the one on Diamond street, when
Policeman Winzler shot one of three boys,
believing that they were the burglars.

HER LEG TAKEN OFF.

All Kue, Crippled Chinese Girl, I'm
dergoes n Grave Operation.
All Kue, the little Chinese girl who
through the ignorance and cruelty OF her
people came so near to death, was oper-
ated on at the Children's Hospital yester-
day morning. Her leg was removed from
the hip and from the present indications
she will live. The nurses saw she is get
ting along as well as can be expected after
such a severe operation.
She did not seem to fear the operation
at all, in fact wished to have IL come off
as soon as possible. Her suffer rings were
very great and she knew that when the
cause was removed she would not suffer
SO much pain.
Last night she was resting quietly and
the doctors held out every hope for her
ultimate recovery.

GREAT LAKE RECORD,
Not II Single Passenger Lost During !
the Past Season.

Inc IOSt ScuSOus
Chicago, Dec. Notwithstanding
the treachery of the great lakes, re-
ports show that during the season ofnav-
igation just closed not single pas
senger was lost by accident. 1t is a
record of which the navigation COM
panies are proud that is presented in
the statements they make regarding
their business since last spring. Had
not one passenger jumped overheard
from a steamer no fatalities among
travellers on the large lake lines would
be reported. While the season was one
of unusually good luck for those who
patronize the boats and large steamers.
there has been considerable loss of life
among the mariners. Sixty-eight men
employed as sailors on the large craft
that sail up and down the lakes met
death while at their work. This is
about the same number that has been
lost on the water in several previous
seasons. There was one disaster. in
which the Idaho was lost on Lake Erie.
Nineteen lives were lost in this wreck.
The remainder of the 6S seamen met
with different accidents, IL of them be-
ing killed by falling into the holds of
vessels. Forty-siX were drowned and
three committed suicide.
