REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR

Content is something you think other
people have when they haven't.
Maybe Adam put up that whole apple
game just to get discharged from his
farming job.
Any woman would be mortified to death
if she went in swimming dressed the way
she goes to a dinner.
It's terrible hard to convince a woman
that just because you are saying nothing
you are not thinking ugly things against
her.
When man spends the night pla ying
poker with the president of his company
his wife is pretty sure he is explaining TO
him all the reasons he has shown her why
he could run the company better.

STOLE COIN COLLECTION.
Sanford Fredd Got Away With $50
Worth of Ancient Currency.

Sanford Fredd, a 16-year-old boy,
was arrested this afternoon by Detec-
tive Ross on the charge of grand lar
ceny.
He stole about $50 from Fred Eels,
proprietor of the Two-Minute restau-
rant. He was employed by Eels in the
restaurant at meal-time and worked
as a BARRIERS apprentice in a Fourth
street shop. The money was in gold
and silver coins of old date. Fredd was
suspected of the theft, which occurred
this morning, and Detective Ross
caught him at the barber shop where
he was employed. Nearly all of the
stolen money was still in his possession
when he was arrested. He had sold
some of the older coins.

Quoted a small stationery store. Mr..
Spencer was 20 years old and was the
son of a California pioneer. His father,
a brother of Herbert Spencer's father,
took Mcira to the United States when
the lad was not more than 1 or 2
years old. The deceased had many
friends in this city and was a diligent
student.
He was a devout churchman, and in
speaking of him yesterday the Rev.
David Evans, rector of Grace Church,
said:
Mr. Spencer was in church last Sunday and

single early celebration. at o'clock since

He was a great athlete notwithstanding his
10 years. and had a gymnasium at his resi-
dence. where he delighted in the practice of
muscular exercise.
Mr.. Spencer took the most enthusiastic in
his conversation he was ardent in his ad-
vocacy of pure civic government. He was a
busy student and he held to his unpretentious

realize what he judged was its value.
William H Holt. organist at Grace
Church. said Mr.. Spencer was in his
choir at the Church of the Advent fif-

changed to Grace Church Spencer fol-
lowed him and had been a constant
worshiper there ever since. He would
never leave the church until the last
note on the organ was sounded.

ON FORFEITED FRANCHISES

on Method to Improve Street
Railway Service.

The Supervisors Street Committee
yesterday referred to the City Attor-
ney all the questions raised by E. p.
E. Troy as to the alleged forfeiture of
franchises on various streets by the
United Railroads owing to non-user
in order to have the matter legally
determined by the courts if that
course is deemed necessary.
The committee decided that it
would be necessary to pass ordinances
covering the many reforms which
Troy desires TO introduce in the SER
vice of the street railways. Troy
wanted regulations as to speed and
the installation of proper life guards
on cars to prevent frequent accidents.
Troy agreed to prepare an ordi-
nance requiring the cars to be cleaned
periodically as a sanitary precaution
and the committee will take it under
consideration.
The proposed ordinance making it
unlawful for any person operating an
automobile to drain oil from the
crank case or gear case of the ma
chine on the public streets was taken
under ADJUSTMENT.
The committee reported in favor of
an ordinance prohibiting the distribu-
ton of. circulars or books containing
immoral or obscene literature.

Up A SHERIFF

corting two prisoners whom he had
arrested at Kenwood to the County
Jail this morning, Sheriff Frank Z.
Grace found himself in an unusual pre-
dicament He was forced TO look down
the muZzle of a rifle in the hands. of
one of his prisoners, and listen to the
demands of the men for his money and
a revolver which they knew the Sheriff
carried.
Last night a saloon on the Sonoma
road near this city was robbed. and
William Cameron and Charles Cor

went to Kenwood on the morning

boys to the saloon they had robbed

and driver to return to this city. When
near the city limits Grace permitted
COrmen to alight momentarily from
the vehicle and the prisoner took adj
vantage of the opportunity to run.
Grace fired three shots in the air to
frighten the culprit, and then jumped
to the ground in pursuit Of the pris-
oner, leaving the second man in the
wagon with the driver. The other
prisoner picked up a rifle which had
been taken from him and which Law

in pursuit of the prisoner.
When Sheriff Grace came up the
creek bank without the first prisoner
who escaped, he looked into the muzzle
of the rifle held in the hands of his
prisoner. He was dumfOunded and
argued with the prisoner, asking him
to lower the gun. Finally in fancied
security Cameron started to walk

MAKES MAD JUMP OVER
ROCKS AT THE CLIFF
George Radovich Tries to End His
Life by Suicide Over Imaginary
Troubles

George Radovich. one of the propri-
etors of a restaurant at 10S Fillmore
street, made mad jump yesterday
afternoon from the roadway at the
Cliff House over the face of the sharp
edged rocks facing the ocean. He
miscalculated the distance between
the place from which he jumped to
the water and as consequence land
ed between two projecting cliffs from
where he was rescued by the COM
bined exertions of Policeman H. M.
Levy and DIR. Charles Millar Of the
Park Emergency Hospital.
The shock he received had the eff
feet of curing all the ideas he had
conceived of ending his life.
Financial difficulties over his inabil-
ity to either sell out or buy his part
ner's interest in the restaurant, with
an overindulgence in wine is what
turned Radovich's mind.
