It wiil henceforth be known as the *‘Maclean Hospital and _Sanitarium,” in honor of Dr. D. Maclean, dean, ;of. the college. Instead of resound- ing with the laughter of merry parties, as was originally intended, its walls will shelter the sick and dying, and quiet will always reign. The mansion was erected years ago, but is almost as good as though it was just completed. It cost its first owner thou- sands of dollars, but as his fortune de- clined he was forced to mortgage it. The mortgage was never paid and the property fell into the hands of the mortgagee. The Lalifornia Medical College facultv was in search of a new hospital building, and finally decided to purchase the old man- sion. The sale has been consummated, and within the next few days patients now at the Mission-street ‘institution will be removed to the new quarters. The building presents the appearance of a mansion in a private park. Itissur- rounded by well-kept lawns, banks of flowers and inviling shady walks. In the beautiful grounds convalescents may en- joy the benetit of life in the open air in quiet and revirement. Its appointments are complete and in keeping with the necessities of mpdern surgery and for the treatment of all cases whether acute or chronic. Ample facili- ties and appliances are at hand for earry- ing out the hygienic methods of an up-to- date sanitarium. Medicated hot and cold water baths, steam baths, hot air baths, vapor baths, elecirical baths-and appli- es for the use of electricity and m sage are provided in a glass-covered apart- ment. The institution has made another great | advance. Its doors will be open to ail practitioners in good standing. No mat- ter what school or what system the prac- titioner follows he will be accorded every privilece in tr-ating cases. Dr,W. H. Logan has been appointed superintendent of the new hospital and _Dr. E. E. Hicks resident physician. Thursday evening a reception and ban- quet will be held-by the faculty of the California College and invited guests, and when it is concluded the dedication of the institution will be complete.

Crimes Committed by One Man, or the One Set of Men, All Over Town. Residences in the We!l-to-Do Parts of the City Entered and J welry and Money Sto.en. The burglar with the vacant house “‘graft” has reappeared ana is giving Captain Lees and *“the uvper office” ai opportunity for much thinking. This particuiar criminal, or a **co-ed” of bis, made his appearance in this City about a vear ago. Like every other grad- uate or understudy for the penitentiary, he has his own way of working. He selects some vacant building ubnb-: ting upon an occupied house in some | weli-to-do neighborhood. This he enters from the rear, usnally by breaking a pane | of glass and opening a window. Then he goes into the front room of the upper story of the house, which 1s usualiy orna- mented with a bay window, and watches until the family next door goes out and until the policeman on the beat goes by. Then he opens one of the bay windows, ~teps upon the balcony leading to the window o! the occupied house and plun- Jlers it at his leisure. Last Friday evening this vacant house eraft burglar entered a bouse to let on Sutter street, between Buchanan and Webster, and while the police were chang- g watch at about 6 P. M. and in the ab- <ence of the family enterad the residence 1834 Sutter street and bagged $300 worth of jewelry and about $65. On the next night he entered a dwelling | on McAllister street, near Steiner, and got away with several hundred dollars’ worth /f money ‘and jewelry, including an ele- gant set of silverware. "~ The thief left no clew behind him save «n open window, which for purposes of de- | ction, was of no more value than a ciosed door. It was evident, however, that | hese and other burglaries were the work >f one man or the same set of men. On Monaay night an attempt was made 10 break into the house at 614 Hy e street. The burglar had forced open a window in the rear and the noise alarmed the occu- pants. They made an investigation and Seeing the open window potified the po- ! ce. The burglar hearing them moving ibout beat a hasty retreat. N. J. Lund’s botel, Sixteenth and Fol- som streets, was entered by a burglar arly Sunday morning. Nine bedrooms were visited, and the burglar succeeded in rifling the pockets of the occupants with- | yut disturbing them, except in one in- tance. A. Trouse was awakened about 3 o’clock in the morning by a noise in his room. He saw a man crawling out of the room »n his hands and knees, but strange to say ie did not sound an alarm. The burglar 4ot away with about $30 in coin, a check ior $50 and some jewelry. Two gol(‘ watchas were taken from a room occupied by a po- iceman, ana what worries him is that the lady’s watch belonged to his sweetheart. An investigation showed that the burg- i obtained access to thesrooms by insert- ng a pair of nippers in the keyhole and arning the key. Detectives have been working on the case, but so far no arrest 148 been made. Kicked by a Horse.

The well-known luylor mine, twelve miles north of Placervill®, in El Dorado County, owned by W. 8. and Washington Chapman of this City, has‘been experted recently for London capitalists and is said to be as good as sold. The Taylor isa rich, steady-producing gold property and for a long time has paid regular dividends. Itis one of the | best equipped mines in the State, having a large plant of machinery and being lighted with electricity. There is a forty- stamp mill on the mine. The price of the property is given at 1 $500,000. For two weeks past William A. Farish, the noted expert of Denver, has been examining the mine for the English capitalists.
