connecting them be lowered three feet,
in order to drain off the water.
Trustee Paine said it was an import
ant matter and he moved that the mat
ter be referred to the Sewer Committee
and Superintendent of Streets to report,
So ordered.
Charles F. Donovan requested per-
mission to withdraw his application for
a saloon license at $50 n street and his
request was granted.
A resolution of intention to improve
the alley between n and o, Twenty
second and Twenty-third streets, with
a sewer was adopted.
communication from a San Fran
cisco firm offering to contract with the
city for a new heater at the water
works was referred to the Chief Engi-
neer Of the Water Works and the
Water Committee.
Trustee Dolan said there had been
much complaint among property own
ers in the neighborhood of Twenty fifth
and Twenty sixth, between N and 0
streets, that they could not get enough
water He moved that the four-inch
pipe there be taken up by the Citp Tap
per and taken to the cannery on Elev-
enth street and that a six-inch pipe be
put down in its place. 1t would take
about 400 feet Of pipe.
Devine feared that there would not be
pipe to spare.
The motion was carried.
Trustee Paine moved that Superin-
tendent of Streets Touhey be authorized
to have Mr.. De Rosa dump all his spare
earth into the canal at Seventeenth
street at 30 cents a cubic yard.
Trustee Devine said that the earth
would have to be excaYated again II

Trustee Paine said that according to
the plans of the Surveyor the pipes will
not be laid within twenty feet of the
present ditch and the order Of the
court must be obeyed.
Trustee Devine said that statement
confirmed him in his idea. He wanted
to save the city's money.
Trustee Dolan said that if the board
did not obey the order of the court, the
members might find themselves in Jail.
Trustee Kent thought the Superin-
tendent of Streets could plow down
enough dirt originally thrown out of
the ditch and nearly fill it up. He so
moved.
Superintendent of Streets Touhey said
the city could not plow in the dirt with
out making the street below grade. He
thought that the city would do well to
buy the earth with which to fill in the
ditch.
Kent's amendment was lost, and
Paine's motion was carried.
Clerk Desmond reminded the board
that next Monday night bids for light
ing the streets would be opened and
citizens should notify their respective
Trustees before that time where they
wish to have new lights placed.
The board then adjourned.

The ways of Burglars.

A well-known detective of several
years experience has this to say or
burglars IF one were to become
professional burglar his work would
require study and practice, just as sue
cess in legitimate business demands ed
ucation and experience. The burglar
who does several jobs and eludes the
officers of the law is a keen observer,
a man of forethought, and one whose
executive ability is unqueSt1oned.
Houses are not entered because they
have broWnstone fronts, nor are stores
broken into by the professional thief
without an investigation. When the
skillful burglar is to do job he
studies the habits of the resident or
proprietor. In a case in Troy a few
years ago a jewelry store was robbed.
Apparently there was not a clew. De-
tectives were placed on the case and
named the thieves by the method en-
ployed in getting into the store, and
subsequently the thieves were convict
ed. Certain burglars also enter eel
lar and come up through stairs, floor or
trapdoors. Others have skeleton keys.
Others go above and come downstairs.
Some break in rear and others front
doors. In the robbery above referred
to the two thieves had been in Troy
three successive Saturday nights. They
had fastened a silk thread on all en-
frances in such a way that if anyone
entered or left the store the thread
would be broken. Thus the burglars
learned thatlthe proprietor and clerks
did not visit the store after closing Sat-
urday night until Sunday. The fourth
of nil he 20
Except for their methodical way of en-
tering (by the CELLAR no suspicion would
have attached itself to them.
Even burglars have some style Peo-
pie living in modest homes, unless they
have large sums of money or jewelry,
need not fear a visit from the profess
sional. He is always posted on the
plunder for which he seeks. AS
rule, burglars are cowards and it is
only in emergencies that revolvers are
used. Troy Times.

Made a Good Haul.

Nearly $500 worth of gold leaf was
yesterday discovered to have been
stolen from the Southern Pacific Com
pany's store-room at the shops. The
theft was reported to the police, but
thus far there is no clew to the per-
petrator of the theft.
The thieves effected an entrance
through the rear door. They bored a
hoe with a big auger and had no
trouble in lifting the latch on the in
side. The gold foil which was evident
ly the game they were after, was in a
side closet. the door of which the
thieves pried open with a fat piece Of
steel
The officers who have been working
on the case are inclined to believe that
the thief or thieves We're we'll acquaint-
ed with the premises. So far as is
known no clue to the thieves had been
picked up.

State Controller z. P. Colgan has re-
turned from an extended trip through
the southern counties of the State made
for the purpose of examining, as a
member of the State Board of Equal
ization, property values preparatory tc
fixing the State rate of taxation next

Controller Colgan says the outlook in
the south is extremely gloomy, and that
crops on non-irrigated lands will be
total failure. In portions of San Benito
Santa Cruz and other counties that are
under a good system of irrigation
bitches fruit and other crops promise
well, but most of the southern counties

tice, that they had had absolutely no

the Americans arrived too early in the
morning. The Spaniards were still III
their pajamas. They had had no coffee
and could not shoot straight without cot
fee. l-Press Dispatch.
Oh, those willy, piggish Yankees,
Got round our way too soon.
For whoever knew a Spaniard
To watch with stars and moon?
Why, they had not served up coffee,
Pajamas still they wore,
And they'd had no target practice
For two long years, or more.
But we think their diet plenty,
Their garments will suffice;
In the place where Dewey sent them
There's lack Of snow and ice.
