Squire-Latimer building yesterday after
noon. Capt. Sullivan had no sooner re-
covered from the shock of this story than
in walked Louis Chef. of Philadelphia.

fact way imaginable that his pocket
was picked night before last of nearly
500 in gold
Emanuel Golarte secured passage north
on the steamer City OF Seattle and was
walking around the city yesterday after
noon for amusement when a heavy, thick
set man with smooth face and long
black oyercoat approached him and SAID

conducted TO a room in the Squre-La IL

actual discharge of their duties. Messrs.
Durie and Prosch were directed TO report

were notified of their election.
The need of prompt and active work by

by lumber of incidents within the last
few days. On Saturday night. in one of
the prominent hotels of the city twenty
two men were quar,ered in three rooms.

cause they had nowhere else TO go. At an
other hotel man and his wife gave up
their room. having engaged lodging on
Third avenue. When they arrived a the
new lodging place they found that on ac-
count of their having left no deposit the
room had been let to another tenant. Dole
fully they wendell their way back to the
hotel only to find that while they had been
gone the room they had just vacated had

AMERICAN
They Are Carried Wherever Lantern.
Are Used All Over the C,v-
iliEed World. /

American lanterns are exported to
all the countries of the world where
lanterns are used. Many are sent to
South Africa and to South America,
to Australia and New Zealand, and
some are sold in Asia. Few, proper
t~ionatcly, are sent to Europe, says the
New York Sun.
Kerosene oil is now commonly
burned in lanterns oil over the world.
There are no lanterns made nowadays
for candles only, but there are ex-
ported to South America some lanterns
made so that either candles or oil may
he burned in them. These are provided
with n candle socket, which may be
set down in the oil reservoir, the wick
holder having been removed. by re-
moving the candle socket and screw
ing In the wick holder the lantern
Ia made ready to burn oil. Excepting
railroad and other lanterns for spe-
cial uses, substantially nll the lanterns
made nowadays are of the kind known
rs tubular, first introduced about 30
years ago, and now made in various
notifications us to detail, the tubular
part of the lantern being designed
with n view TO producing better COM
bustion and a brighter light. The Ian
terms made for ordinary uses are pro-
duced in about 40 styles.
The American lanterns are the light
est, the sightlicst in appearance and
the best adapted to their use, and are
sold cheaper than lanterns of equal
quality produced elsewhere. There
are large establishments in this coun-
Try making lanterns only. 1t is prob
able that more lanterns are now ex-
ported from this country than from
either England or Germany, and the
exports of American lanterns are in
creasing.
