have been entered, bureaus and trunks
ransacked, and valuables taken. Up
to a late hour last evening, however,
no report had been made to the Po-
lice Department, and consequently no
action has been taken by the authori-
ties. Deputy Marshal Chilingworth
regretted exceedingly that the parties
whose houses had been entered had
not brought the matter to the atten-
ton of the police in order that the
proper steps might be taken toward
stamping out the gang.
The first act was committed last

articles of silverware were also taken.
Sunday afternoon the gang made
its presence known at the residence of

The residents In the vicinity OF these
recent depredations are in a state of
comparative terror. Locks are being
reinforced and watchdogs are in de-
mand. No definite clue has been ad-

The old stone structure on Fort

was occupied in turn by Samuel Saw

again. II. May installed his grocery
store there in 1868 and since then it
has been occupied by the May family.
1t was the first building to be built
after big fire which occurred in 1851,
and which destroyed that part of the
city. When it will be torn down one

Bismarck as DIR. .Jakyu.

No greater contrast could possibly be
imagined than that which existed be-
tween the Bismarck Of private life and
the Bismarck Of politics. Gin the home

knew him we'll. she was perfectly
charming, easy going and good natured.
He was passionately fond of children,
and have seen him over and over again
have game with the little ones Of his
gardener, who were very familiar with
him and would not hesitate to climb
upon his knee.
''Once when his gardeners little girl
died the great statesman went to CON
dole with him. He was dreadfully up
set and while holding the poor father S
hand burst into tears, for he was very
fond of the child. He kissed the little
corpse and himself placed bunch of
roses in its hand. He was always eager
to assist his poorer neighbcrs and en-
Joyed chatting with them on ali sub

A gentleman, while travelling on a

where the train stopped for a few min

His eyes resting on basket containing

sympathetic attendant gently asked
him what was the matter and ELECTED
the following touching explanation:

BY means Of a large number OF OBJ

In paper published in the proceed

butterflies drink more than is required

so for food. The males alone seem to be

MUSIC FROM HEAVEN.
Charming German Method of Summonins
Church worshipers.

Church Worshipers.
While religious music will doubtless
live as long as religion itself there is
one branch of tiff music it can lie
called-which Is luckily becoming OBJ
solete. 1 refer TO bells and chimes. L
shall never forget the look of distress
with which Il famous orSanist once said
to me that whenever he heard a set of
chimes he wished he could put his ears
in his pocket.
In these days of 81 nickel watches
bells are no longer needed to inform
people when the service begins. They
are, moreover, a decided nuisance, and
often a dangerous one, for they have
killed many invalids whose life depend
ed upon few hours sleep, which the
bells murdered. In New York bell ring
ing has been frequently stopped ON ac-
count of complaints to the board of
health.
If it seems desirable to have a means
of summOning worshipers to church,
why not adopt the delightful old custom
that is still observed i'll some south Ger
man villages and in the city of Stuff
CART? There four trombone players as
cend church tower three times a day
and play solemn chorale.
In all my musical experience l have
never heard anything more thrilling
than those majestic harmonies i'll the
air, which seemed to come straight
from heaven. If our churches would
adopt this custom and these celestial
sounds became associated with religious
experiences, they might arouse the dor
mant devotion of many a one who other
wise would pass the church door by
FOrum.

Nehemiah as his model Mayor and de-
scribed in glowing terms the pious patrj-

Most people have been impressed with the
importance and influential position which
cities occupy in our modern life We have
parallel in ancient times. in Jerusalem,
and its relation to the Holy Land. In mod

our cities-they are the points of intelli

CURIOSITY ALMOST LEADS T(
A SERIOUS ACCIDENT.

Charles /. Fair and his automobile
caused considerable of commotion yes
terday down San Mateo way. NJ. Fair
is soon to make trip to the Yosemite
Valley with his machine, rcCenty i'm
ported from the East and he is familiar
izing himself with the management Of
the vehicle in order that he may not get
stalled en- route through lack of expert
enCe. At the same time he is famfliariz-
ing the residents of the outlying districts
with the appearance of the strange We
hicle, which is the precursor of many
others of similar design which will soon
delight the people of San Francisco and
vicinity.
Accompanied by two ladies, Fair went
yesterday for a ride out on the San Bruno
road. his main object, aside from the
pleasure of the outing, being TO try his
warm and pleasant, and many not tor-
tunate enough to possess one of these
unique carriages were taking advantage
of the perfect condiuons for driving
seated in buggieS drawn by horses. AS
is well known the equine race, on this
coast especially. has not yet been for
mally introduced to its mysterious rival,
and, judging from their actions, neither
has the majority of bipeds. Whenever

vehicle SHE'D away, but generally the
driver controlled it without difficulty.
In several instances, however, serious
attached to a buggy in which was seated
an old couple, nearly overturned the rig
into the ditch. Another buggy containing
two boys was overturned, ditching its oc-
cupants. In this case, however. the Gu
riosity of the driver had as much to do
with the accident as the apparition of the
automobile. The driver was so busily en-
gagged in watching the silently moving
horseless carriage that he allowed his
lines to fall slack and when his horse
SHE'D the wheels cramped, overturning
the rig. Beyond a few bruises the boys
were not injured, and after the buggy was
righted they drove off as though nothing
had happened.
These were the nearest approaches to
accidents. Notwithstanding the fact that
hundreds of rigs were encountered. Horses
unaCCustOmed to the strange vehicle were
naturally restive at its appearance, but as
it makes very little noise they Will soon
become accustomed to it and then all
danger of accidents will be passed.
The automobile promises soon to be

pie residing thereon will soon cease to
stare when they see one approaching
