TfIIEvING HOBOs.
Brush Camps Relieved of Some. Of
Their Occupants.

For sCme time past the northern por-
tion OF the city has been infested with
hobos and sneak thieves, and numer-
Gus complaints have been lodged with
both the Chief of Police and Sheriff
Johnson.
The hobos have assiduously followed
what they call the back door graft,
and in many instances insulted women
who refused to supply them with food
On Saturday night three sheep Were
stolen from Conrad Schepp's slaughter
pen, near the American River bridge,
and suspicion fell on the hobos who
were encamped on the north side OF
the levee. between A and b, Eleventh
and Twelfth streets.
For the past several days S. H. Far
ley, who conducts a general merchan-
disc establishment at Twelfth and +
streets. has been remodeling his store
rooms, and had stored part Of his STOCK
in an adjoining warehouse. On Sun
day night thieves effected an entry into
the warehouse by boring across a clap
board with an auger. and then pulling
off the lower portion
Just how much plunder the thieves
took With them Mr.. Farley is as yet
unable to determine, but boxes of soap,
washing powder and canned goods, To-
gethar with a number OF brooms and
WashboardS are known to be missing.
Officer Bagley, whose beat takes in
that big section of the country in which
the hohos are encamped, yesterday
morning determined TO investigate he
accordingly visited several of the brush
camps, and was about to return when
he met Sheriff Johnson with two of his
deputies, who We're also out with a
view of rounding up the occupants Of
some of the hobo camps
The Sheriff and his officers and the
policeman at once Joined forces, and
after further investigation Sheriff Joha-
son ana his force hung around" and
kept the hobo gentry under surveil-
lance, while Bagley visited the nearest
telephone and rang up the patrol
wagon.
The Sheriff and his officers did thair
work Well, and when the city's hurry
up" wa gon reached the scene eight
brush campers We're loaded into it, and
last night they slept beneath the water
tank Which oyerlies the hobo cell in the
City Prison.
While the officers do not accuse any
of the men arrested of having burglar
lied Farley's warehouse, they are q
unit in saying they have rounded up a
tough gang who will look well on the
county rock pile. The men gave their
names as c. Roberts, John Phillips,
John NcCauley. John Owens, Leon Ha-
fort, Michael Kavanaugh, G. Claus and
John Foley, and they will be charges
with vagrancy.

POULTRYSHOW OPEN TO-DAY.
THE CANINE CHORUS WILL BE
HEARD THURSDAY.
Many Were Too Late With Their
Entries-Nearly so Pigeons
in Yesterdays Race.

Everything was in motion at the
New Pavilion yesterday, exhibitors
getting ready for the opening OF the
California State Poultry and Bench
Show Association's exhibition
The poultry and pigeon show COM
mences to-day at 10 a. M, and there
was already a number of fowls and
pigeons in their proper places yesterday
afternoon while the owners Of others
We're preparing the coops for theT
feathered occupants. There promises
to he a larger and better exhibit this
year than last, notwithstanding the
fact that there is another show OF the
same kind in the southern part of the
State that naturally takes away large
number of entries which go to the Los
Angeles show.
The show of pigeons will be far
larger than last year, many entries
having been made. and the number of
coops provided for the poultry entries
is much greater, and they will all be
filed. The stalls for the dogs are being
pushed to completion rapidly. but their
occupants have not yet arrived, as the
bench show will not begin until Thurs
day. when all the dogs that are to
compete must be in their places before
noon.
Here again. another exhibit has
come into competition with the show, as
this is the week of the field trials,
which are being held at bakersfield,
commencing yesterday morning, and
which, of course, include in the compe-
tition some of the best dogs in the
State. This, however. is not so serl-
4 cl- roio1t ne. from
the fact that owners of field-trial dogs
seldom care to prepare ana eLter theli'
in the bench show.
The show will be held under the newly
amended rules of the American Kennel
Club. ii being the first show on the
coast held under them. In one way the
new rules are a benefit to the eXhlp-
itor. allowing him to enter his dog IN
more than one class, thus giving thehi
a chance to take more than one prize
Some of the dogs are entered in three
classes under these rules. There IS
another noticeable point: The standard
of excellence in the dogs exhibited TINS
year is higher than that OF last year,
and it is anticipated that there VIII
be some very close competition.
Last year there was quite rivalry
between Ine ldultS ia NNNcAeNeN-'eo
stalls of their favorite dogs, ana TINS
wear the rivalry will be much keenef

ute, but the rest OF them hung together
for about two minutes more, when the
flock divided into two groups.
Higher and higher the birds rose rs
they circled over the city. but all grad
ually working toward the south. in
about five minutes they were all lost
to sight.
Last evening Mr.. Whitman received
a teiaphonie message to the effect that
the first bird to arrive at its owners
loft was one belonging to Mr. Hemel-
wright of San Francisco, the distance
being, in a straight line, about eighty
miles. The bird arrived home at 2:26.
The second prize winner is owned by
j. w. Nelch. also OF San Francisco and
the thirdsby J. Filmer of the same city.
There was but few minutes differ
ence in the time of the arrival of the
first three birds.
The time was slow, compared to The
record 0:45), but Mr.. Whitman eX-
plains that heavy fog hung over tne
Suisun marshes, which greatly confused
the birds and probably threw them
many miles out of their course.

a Curious Law That Seems to Follow
Some Persons, Believed to BE
Diyortabie.


1t has frequently been observed that
when a married couple arrive at the
point where they have furnished a
nice home and after some years CT
work and economy are just ready tC
enjoy life, one or perhaps both find
that disease of some sort has made its
appearance and sadly marred the happy
picture.
A little care in the selection Of food
during the time one is we'll and strong
will prevent the encroachment of dis
ease, whereas a continuance III tbs
use of improper food and drink is sure
to build in disease sooner or later, and
by some curious law the demon shows
himself just when we are on the point
of accomplishing some long-cherished d
plan.
But POOR lodgment for disease can
be found in the properly fed and nour-
ished man or woman.
Coffee is an insidious foe to some
systems, while it does not seem tc
hurt others.

Our population is now 100000. If
the wealth OF our country has increased
in the last eight years propOrtionately
with the increase between 1880 and 1890
the wealth of the whole country today
is $S4, 600 DOC. 600, or 81 $50 for every man,
woman and child of the population.
The average wealth in 1850 was only
1903 per capita, the increase being near
~ fourtold since then. The wealth OF
rate of $4,000, 600 day One-seventh of
our wealth is in railroads, or $3.50 for
every member Of our population.
The railroads of the United States
now employ $50. 900 persons and the av-
erage annual pay of each is $3.50. A few
officials receive large salaries, but the
10000 station men and track repairers,
and the 20, 900 Switchmen, f1agmen, and
watchmen all get small wages, though
their pay is sure and their employment
is, as rule, uninterrupted. There are
now $50 employees to every 100 miles of
road, or four and one-half to every
mile.
Exclusive of sleeping cars our rail-
roads now have 1,325, 600 cars of all
kinds, or 81 cars to every locomotive,
or seven cars to every mile of road.
Inclusive of sleeping cars there are now
$4,000 passenger, mail, and express cars
in use.
Considering the life of a freight car II
years, and its earnings after that length
of service will barely keep st in repair,
it is clear that about 100, 900 Of these
cars now annually go into scrap.
In other words 100, 900 new freight
cars are needed every year to replace
those which are Worn out, to say moth
ing Of the additional cars required for
new roads and for the natural increase
of freight business.
There are now $4,000 locomotives .in
use 10 900 of them being in passenger
service. All these passenger engines
are fitted with train brakes, and over
half of them with automatic couplers.
Each passenger engine handled upon an
the year, and ran nearly a million and
a quarter of miles. Each freight loco
motive on an average drew 10000 tons
of freight.
Our freight trains for the year ending
September 1 carried $50, 600, 900 tons of
an average of 125 miles, making in all
IS 900, 100000 tons of freight carried one
mile. While the average cost OF carry
ing a ton of freight one mile was eight
tenths of a cent, 1t was only six-tenths
of a cent in some of the states.
The cost of carrying freight has stead
lily fallen from two cents mile per
ton in 1867 to its present low rate. Our
railroads last year had to carry ton
of freight / $50 miles to make 81, and
the freight work done was equivalent
to carrying one ton 1900 miles for ev-
cry man, woman, and child of the pop
IlIation. Over three-fOurthS of the re-
