COMMISSIONERS WANT
Oil REGULATIONS

The District Commissioners have asked
the Corporation Counsel TO decide
whether or not there can be Incorporated
IN the police regulations Of the District
a set of regulations drawn up in Octo-
Der 1892. by Former Fire Chief button
and Others, governing. the use in the Dis
trict of kerosene oil burners and the
storage Of kerosene oil for fuel in stoves
by gravity pressure.
These regulations. for the most part

q large extent the danger of fires from
the careless handling Of oil and oil
stoves.
One rule pat forward is that every oil
tank is 10 Dc at a safe distance from
artificial lights OF all kinds. Provisions
are also made as TO The location and
sizes Of the different 3lpss used for con-
Quoting oil from tanks TO stoves.

are the cost and the danger such a
practice entails.
Danger From Fire.
by cutting of the gas we save S25 or
$50 month, and avoid the danger of Il
fire Frequently the coffee makers would
go away and leave the gas burning with
nobody there to watch it. and there
was always chance that the building
would bura down as a result of such a
performance.
Nevertheless and Notwithstanding. the
women think it is a mean trick on the
part OF Miller and Ricketts,. Now they
have TO drink their coffee cold or buy it
outside, when. Fnder the old plan, they
could make it by the bueketful. which
they did often, and take their time

SAN JOSE MERCHANT
Is SHOT BY A BURGLAR
j. V. Adams Is Fatally Wounded at
His Home by Nocturnal Prowler,
Who Afterward Escapes.

SAN JOSE, July al. V. Adams,
who resides at 226 Balbach street, was
fatally shot by a burglar whom he sur
prssed in his house on his return home
about $50 o'clock tonight. Adams
and wife had returned from a shop
ping trip and going round to the back
door discovered it open. They heard
noises in the house and Mrs. Adams
shouted burglars. The couple then
went around to the front of the house
and as they turned the corner saw a
man leaving by the window. He had
a revolver in his hand. Adams rushed
up to grapple with him and as he
reached the man the burglar fired. The
burglar then rushed down Balbach
street toward the Guadalupe Creek.
Adams was shot in the right side Of the
abdomen and the bullet passed through
the liver. At late hour tonight he
is slowly sinking and the physicians
say he cannot recover.
A squad Of police was at once hur-
ried to the scene. A search of the
Guadalupe Creek was begun. Officer
O'Mally and others saw the burglar
under a bridge, but before they were
sure of the man he escaped. Later he
was seen climbing a high board fence
on BaIbach street. About fifty people
ioined in the manhunt. Deputy Sher-
ifs Dreischmeyer and Starbird are
searching the outside country. Nothing
was taken from the Adams house.
Adams is a retired rancher and for
merly conducted the Beehive grocery
in this city.

LONDON, july 2. = The American
delegation to the Salvation Army Con-
gress spent to-day In sightseeing,
there being no important meetings at
the International Hall, on the Strand.
Commander Booth-Tucker, head OF the
American delegation, said:
1.-The Salvation Army International
Congress beggars description. I'M
mense crowds throng there daily and
watch the delegates. With their ma
tional colors and numerous brass
bands they march through the prom
the Strand and Exeter Halls average
5000 to 10000 daily. Nine extra the
aters and town halls have been en-
gagged for SUNDAYS, besides the large
army halls. The aggregate of a large
Sunday attendance Is more than a
hundred thousand and tens Of thous-
ands are unable to gain admission.
"a splendid spirit Of unity and broth
erhood exists among the national rep
resentatives, the Germans, French,
Italians, Dutch, Swiss, Scandinavians,
Russians, Japanese, Chinese and Hin
docs fraternizing with each other.
About 500 conversions were recorded
last Sunday.
1.-The American delegation was gladly
received. The staff, the band, in cow
boy costume: the Kentucky outriders
and the choir of colored songsters re-
ceived grand ovations."

Dainties of the Russian Peasant.

mushroom alone often contents them
for meal with their coarse rye bread.
The poorest laborer has also a luxur-
ious drink always available from the
ever present samovar, and the tea they
drink would be the envy Of any Amer
