Although the police have within the past few days arrested three notorious burglars, there are others who are keeping the police on the alert. The police are doing all they can to keep the burglaries secret, but the people who have suffered a loss from the visits of the burglars are not so reticent. On Thursday evening the residence of R.

A Schilling & Co San Francisco The friends of Ross Jackson said their farewell to him—to his mortal remains— after such a fashion as he would bave had them yesterday afternoon. It was a beautiful rather than a solemn ceremony. By his wish no sign of mourn- ing met the eye anywhere. The body lay among flowers and his friends sang sweet songs and spoke the truth concerning him—every word of which caused the hearts of the throng of hearers, who were all his friends, to beat high and proud responsively. For they were brave, good woras that were said of Ross Jackson, and surely it must have soothed those upon whom the stroke of his loss fell heaviest to hear in what esteem he was heid by all his fel- lows and how they shared in that loss. When he said “*Speak only the truth of me” he placed no limitation upon them, | a8 one of these friends said, ““for to speak of him as he deserves would be eulogy enough for any man, and, in truth, if the good wishes of genuine friendship could have stayed the hand ot death Ross Jack- son would have lived forever.”” No prayer was saia; no minister was there. For the dead jou rnalist was nota religivus man, *in the churcbly sense,” but he had been “a living example of that great principle, the keystone . of Christianity, ‘do unto others as ye would haye them do unto you.”” ust before he died Mr. Jackson had asked that Judge Hunt, & long-time friend, should say over his coffin what he deemed right to say. And so he did. Other friends added what came into their hearts to say, and other friends expressed their thoughts in song. Altogether it seemed an hour of exaited triumph for the dead man. The rooms of the Press Club were crowdeda. A very large proportion were Iadies. The electric lights were blazing. No chan:e had been made in the arrange- nt of the rooms in any way. The cas- t lay in the wide aicove and about it were piled a mountain of flowars in many designs, the offerings of friends from near and far. Shortly after 2 o’clock Judge Hunt and the party chosen as pallbearers filed from the small room on the right and took the chairs reserved for them in the alcove at the right of the casket. They were: Superior Judge John Hunt; Superior Judge J. C. B. H-bbard; C. M. Coe, president of the Press Club; ‘Arihar Barendt, representing the Bohemian Club; H. S. Hagan, Olym- pic Club; W. W. Naughton, Examiner; Wells Drury, THE CALL; Peter Robertsony Chronicle; Fremont Older, the Dulletin; Hugh Hume, Post; T. £. Bonnet, Report, and Captain . W. Lees. Immediately after the family of the deceased emerged from the secretary’s room on the left of the alcove that had been reserved for them and took chairs ranging alung the left of the casket. They were: Mrs. Jackson, John J. Raffael,¥Mr. and Mrs. Whitely,’ Miss Carrie Jackson Whitely, Jackson, Mrs. A. T. Dobson. _The Press Club quartet took a station immediately at the foot of the casket and the burial ceremony began when their voices took up Buck’s beautiful song, “Lead, Kindly Light.” Judge Hunt, when they haa finished, rose and, piacieg his hand upon the casket as one might touch caressingly the. brow of a sleeping friend, spoke of him who lay there beneath the flowers. “The friend who lies voiceless in our presence was born fifty years ago. He came here in 1876. He éngaged at first in various business ventures. Subsequently he adopted the vocation most congenial to him and best adapted to his mental talents, the profession of journalism. As a newspaper man he commenced at the foot of the ladder, whence by untiring zeal and energy be rose to an honorable posi- tion, subsequently occupying the posiiion of city editor and_editorial writer on our local journals. 1t was said of him by his business associates and newspaper ~men that when in autbority he was always consiaerate of subordinates and while pursuing with unflasging zeal his weary round of duty he was ever wi ling to assist those who found the burdens of their M employment zreater than they could bear. ; | into the tide below. | revealed that the bridge was fiilled with | traps, whereon whoever stepped was lost. Atthe entrance to the bridge these traps | lay thick and fast, toward the center they | were scarcer, but at the extremity of the | bridge to stay tbeir fall; | along looking heayenward and while filled son 1n his vision ef Mirzah de- | scribes to us how that pious Oriental was taken by a good genius to 8 great height, whence, 8s in & dream, bhe saw beneath him a broad valiey, a great sheet | of water bounded on either end by dark- | ness and spaunned by a bridge of three score and ten arches. The vale was the vale ot Misery, the water was a portion of the tide of eternity and the bridge was the bridge of human life. Over the bridee Mirzah saw a vast muititude of people | traveling in one direction, and from time to time he saw them dissppear and fall A closer inspection arches they multiplied and lay closer. “‘Some disappeared in the midst of mirth and jollity, catching in vain at others walked with philosophical reflections stumbled and feil. Others again chased airy baubles and as they extended for them their expect- ant hand to seize them, lo! they fellinto | the tide below. “When Mirzah turned his eyes from this sad vision he scanned the darkness which covered the|tide of eternity, and, benold | he saw through the darkness & muititude of beautiful isles, covered with fruits and flowers and sittingin the midstof the shining seas. And upon these istands he beheld persons garbed in Tobes of light, with gariands upon their heads and rest- ing upon banks of flowers, and to his trained ear came the melodious sounds of singing birds, falling waters and soit voices, “Then he turned to the genius and asked that he too might go to those en- chanted isles, but the genius said that none could go thither save through the gates of death on the bridge of life. Through those gates, we trust and believe, the soul of our deparied friend has passed to the.enctanted isle. Our brother was not a religious man 1n the churchly sense of that term, but his life, his character and his works were a living exemplar of that great principle, the keystone of Christianity, ‘Dounto others as ye wouid have them do unto you.’ *‘He was a most generous man. To that compassionate heart no hand of needy suppliant was ever stretched in vain. He had a tear for pity, and a_heart open as day for melting charity. He was the most companionable of men—sincere, affection- ate and affable. “‘He possessed the true spirit of humor. Not the humor which is barbed with the poison of malice, but a humor that was kindly, generous and spontaneous. His nimble wit was best exhibited in quick and sparkling repartee. Looking back- ward over his haif-century of life we find that our brother faithfully discharged his role in the drama of existence. Years be- fore the Christian era an ancient philoso- pher wrole that we are here upon a stage where each one’s duty is to perform the part_allotted to him. Though we may consider ourselves illy suited in the cast, yet it is our duty to perform that part, great or humble, to the best of our ability, so that the fault, if any there is, 1lie, not with us, but with the great disposer of the drama, “What wonder, then, with such a life ana such a character thatour dead brother should be beloved of all and that sorrow should sit enthroned in the bosom of his friends. So many kindly sentiments have been uttered and so many gentle things said of him that if they could but assame a physical form no nobler column could be erected to his memory. Were each ex- pression of kindly regard a flower a monu- ment of roses vould bloom o’er his ashes. “And so, kind friend, loving husband, loyal companion and gentle spirit, hail and farewell!” Rhys Thomas sang “Come Unto Me.” Then Welis Drury, speaking for the working newspaper men of the City who knew Ross Jackson, said: “It has been deemed meet thatsome one who was associated with our friend in his life work, and who enjoyed his com- panionship in his hours of recreation, snouid bear witness to the sierling qualities of his character. It has fallen to my iot to say those simple words. “Ican think of no greater praise than tosay of a man that he was always just. Such a man was Ross Jackson, “He was always the same. His well- balanced mind was not perturbed by the the erous in his friends worker with Ross Jackson. He said: “Of all the opportunities that a man may have through life of forming a just | judgment of another, of learning the kind of man he is at heart, there could be no better than comes with working'alongside of him in a newspaper offi¢e. * There is much there to ruffle his temper and cause him to uncover_the less lovely points of his character. It was my tuck—I call it Iluck—to work through several years of my Life with Ross, and I found kim tae last day as I d:d the firstday, and all the time, all thet a man should be. “I cannot remember of his ever enter- ing into any of those little discussions of each other that newspaper men are prone to affect. after the hurly-burly of the day or night is cver, and that grow out of jeal- ousy or wounded vanity. He was always the genial, warm, big-natured man. 1 know of no one in the profession to whom I would go with such confi lence for advice. He was, as has been said, not a reiigious man in the orthodox sense, but in his con- duct toward his fellow-men he was above reproach. We may say farewell to him now, knowing that after hislife's fitful fever he sleeps well.” 8. Homer Henley sang Rodney’s ‘“‘Cal- vary.” He had sang it often before in the club rooms, often for the pleasure of Ross Jackson lhving, and now the occasion io uched it with a new power and fitness. Daniel O'Connell read a poem of his own writing to “Our Dead Comrade,” of which the following are the first and clos- ing verses: Sometimes, when chatting merrily, our friend has said 10 me, “We're moving down the sloping road on towa rd the sunser's glow. Ilow strange it seems that all around, on every side, we see The cheff s spared—the useless chaff—the while the wheat mus: go.” Farewell! farewell! We know, we feel, if from that other sphere The souls of he departed may for a moment siray— Just a8 Of old you're standing among your com- radas here, Proud of the tears they faln must weep for you, deaa triend, to-day. Arthur Barendt said the last word for the men who knew Ross Jackson best and gave the reason why there must be an em‘l’. even while much remained to be said: *‘It falls to me to speak the last word on bebalf of the working newspaper men concerning our friend whose body lies bere,” he said. “If I may say it, Ross Jackson was a newspaper man from the ground up. He had all the sterling quali- ties of a newspaper man, but none of their shortcomings. e was a man through all the wearing trials, the vexations of the newspaper mau’s life, day by day; he was ever found the same fine, open, whole- some, manly man. “One tortune.came to him, Instead of lifting him away from his fellows or de- stroying in him those things that had made hin beloved by them it only served to unfold his character and bring its brightness and gentle kindliness into stronger relief. But we should not tarry here however we may feel like paying tribute to the memory of the friend whom we have lost, for we must not forget that there are those here to whom the cere- mony is fraught with paim. For their sake we must bring it to anend. I may only say in_conclusion that when it shall come our time, that of each of us, to lie here, may as much of good be szid of us as may in trath be said of Ross Jackson; may as many kind, regretful thoughts spring from the hearts of ovr fellows who survive us.” The quartet sang “‘Beyond the Smiling and the Weeping.”” Then the great company of iriends filed through the room and 100k the r last look at the face of their friend. The pali- bearers took up their burden and the pro- cession moved to Odd Fellows’ Cemetery. The casket was placed in the chapel of the crematory, and the quartet from its sta- tion in the loftsang, as & conclusion to li!Jhn beautiful ceremony, “Still, 8ill With ee.’” And so, led by the principal mourners, the company disversed; the play, for Ross Jackson—as he himself wouid say it—was done. The body will be incinerated to-day. : This company that dispersed that had filled the Press Club rooms was a rather remarkable one, representative of every walk o: life.

The burglar continued his flight down Polk street and disappeared in an_alley. Tt was found that the burglar had stolen Mrs. Green’s gold watch, a pair of gold earrings and & revolver. Mrs. Green de- scribes him as being about 18 years of age and roughly dressed. Last Wednesday night the room of Miss Abboy, 621 Bush street, was entered, it 15 supposed, by the use of skeleton keys. Miss Abboy was out shopping, and when she returned the room was -in disorder. Bureau drawers had been taken out and their contents scattered on the floor. Two purses, a set of valuable souvenir spoons, a pair of opera-glasses, a mackintosh and several dresses were stolen. No one in the house had heard any unusual sounds, nor had any strangers been seen in the halls. A burglar broke into the Mentone, cor- ner of Powell and Sacramento streets, early yesterday morning by prying open a rear window with a “jimmy.” A room that had been occupied by alady, who is on a visit to the country, was entered and thoroughly ransacked, but nothing in the shape of jewelry or money was found. A tin box that contained private letters had been broken open, and the letters were scattered on the floor. The adjoining room was then entered and a drese stolen. The burglar tried to enter othe: rooms, but they were all locked. A valuable overcoat and umbrella were stolen from the hatrack. The fourth burglary on this list took place in the room of Miss Lillie Russell, 223 Leavenworth street. The room was entered early Tuesday morning, and a seal- skin coat, a handbag, platinum and gold watch chain and other articles of the velue of $400 were stolea. It is supposed that the burglar had utilized a skeleton key to get access to the room, These are only a few of the recent burg- laries 1eported to the police, and it is sur- mised that several burglars, who have been discharged from San Quentin after serving out their sentences, are doing the work. NEW BUSINESS MANAGER The Dally Journal of Commerce Se- cures the Services of a Local Newspaper Man, D. W. Fraser, formerly of the business department of THE CaLr and more re- cently emploved on the staff of the Wasp, will commence the new year as manager of the business office of the Daily Journal of Commerce. In selecting this gentleman for the re. sponsible position, which he assumes to to-morrow morning, the propristors of the commercial journai bave not made a mistake, as he carries with him a varied experience in commercial lines which will prove invaluable to his new employers. Mr. Fraser has turned out some credit- able work in_both the business and liter- ary ends of the newspapers with which he has been connected here, and his appoint- ment to the new office will no doubt be apopular one among the newspaper men and advertisers of the City.
