When the enterprising burglar goes “a-burgling” for bank vaults he will find that chemicals can be employed to d fend treasure as well as to expose 1t. Yester- | day on Ninth avenue, south of the park, | there was an exhibition of a recently patented invention which may ultimately prove of great value to bankers and other custodians of money and securities. The test was made in a room containing a cabic area four times as great as’thut of ny treasure vault in this City. made 1n the presence of bankers and lead- ing representatives of several of the larg- est hnancial institutions of San Francisco and New York. The meritof the invention is its sim- plicity. It consists plainly of a gla‘s tube filled with a volatile chemical compound. he tube is encased in a perforated metal pipe which 1s strong enough to resist any ordinary use, but when violence is used { the glass tube is at once broken and the fluid ssczpes. | Toefluid is so volatile that the fumes | spread at once, making 1t impossible for | one to breathe the atmosphere surround- ing the safe or vault. The perforated vipes are made to fit 10 or on the outs de of a burglar-proof safe or vault and over the lock and bolt work of vault doors. The experiment yesterday was ms e by the managers of the Chemical Safe-pro- tector Company. At the appointed time the chemist in charge of tue test struck the tube a sharp blow with the hammer. | A yellowish vapor issued immediately from the perforations and floated to the | floor, spreading along the floor in all di- | rections. The door of the room was open | to admit fresh air, but within three min- utes after the tube was broken the fumes compelled the managers and spectators to retire, It was the expressed opinion of the | bankers who witnessed the experiment | yesterday that the invention is practical, | cheap and effective. At the present time burglas have no neutralizing agency 10 { resist this invention. Commenting on | the experiment one of the spectators said : | ©*Of course a burgiar with a large family | dependent upon him for support, might | invoke the a.d of some chemist of super- | ior skill and obtain a neutralizing chem- | ical compound to render the fumes endur- | able, but time and ingenuity would be necessary to perfect a counter invention. Meanwhile the use of the fluid will render the burglar’s calling dangerous and un- profitabe.” The inventors are Californians and the patent has been secured. Safe-ownersand others before whom tests have been made highly commend the invention. The dev.ce is so cheap ana effective that it is bound to enlist the attention of men and corporations engaged in the business of protecting treasure. In the test yesterday eight ounces of the fluid were used and the chemists contend that the room will not be habitable for twenty hours after the breaking of the wube. In future experiments a dog may be placed in the room to ascertain if the fulnes are fatal. putas SV £ S Silver Held to An: s George W.

Not often does a racing association in this section of | the conntry run off three stake races in | one day, and little is the wonder at the at- tendance, | The Palace Hotel stake, over one mile and a furlong, with $1600 to the winner, | took precedence over the other events, and the winner, Ruinart, demonstrated be- | vond question of a doubt thst he is the | test horse in training in Calitornia and possibly several other Western States. He picked up 118 pounds, an increase of | two pounds over his impost carried in the Burns handicap, and won impressively— | yes, easily. And, for some unknown rea- son, possibly the peculiar manner in | which he was ridden by Marty Bergen, the members of thering were pleased to | lay 9 and 10 to 1 against the brown son of 8t. Carlo. Installator and The Roman, both of | which horses had finished behind him in the Burns, were made favorites in the betting, couplied, at odds of 5 to 2. Buckwa, with his 125 pounds in the saddle, opened ‘at 215 10 1, receding to 16 to | 5. Wheel of rortune was quietly nibbled at and Redskin was a quiet tip which found its way to y ready ears. When the field was dispatcned, nicely igned, Coady on Buckwa sifted away in front at a clip that was bound to cause | distress, Redskin ran well up in the bunch for a while and then cried quits. | Installator flattered his supporters, too, a way, and then he passed itup., All time Bergen and Ruinart were Ming along in last position. Into the 1 old Buckwa was still plowing |along at a great rate, but when Coady | 1ok a glance back an anxious look spreail { over his features and he urged his mount a trifle harder. | Presently the canse of his terror was made apparent. Bergen and Rufnarc | were playing checkers; Bergen with his eye on the king row, and there was no | stopping tiem. Foot by foot the brown horse was devouring ground with as much apparent fondness as an alligator would a shiny fat pickaninny, and persuasive as Joady’s riding was, Buckwa was beaten If a length in 1:533. Once more t won and his veterau rider came | in for an ovation, and it is safe to predict | that the day of'long prices against the | pair isnow a thing of the past. Caudelaria secured third money. took but two. The books all received a biz play, but as neariy ull of the winning outsiders were backed, | them quit loser on the day. | 'The capiure of the Candelaria handicap for two-year-olds at five furlongs, by Rosormonde, daughter of mighty Or- monds and Fairy Rose, was about the i st surprise of thedav. It was gen- y conceded a ‘‘moral”’ lor the Burns & Waterhouse pair Recreation and Miss Rowena, the pair ruling 7 010 favorites in the betting. At the start Miss Rowena | was away tangled up, and Hennessy man- { aging to get cut off wito her stnble mate. | Ciawson ‘on Rosormonde made all the | runnine, and led Recreation out a length in 1:021{. The Cheat finished a fair therd. The Athenian Club hurdie handicap, | twoand a quarter miles, with nine o~ | | stacles w0 clear, attracted’ & field of six | | “leppers” 1o the post. | Montalvo, ridden Of ihe otlier cvents decided, favorites | tie majority of | by George Cochran and carryin, 5 pounds, was the warmest. kind of a favorite, the books holding the big jumper at even money thrqnihom: nearly all of the betting. Baby Bill, against which 9to 1 was laid_skipped away in front, and, although it was freely pre- dicted he would quit, failed to do so, and ina hard drive downed the favorite a neck. The well-played J O C was third. Billy_Randall’s black Montana horse, Ostler Joe, had speed to burn, and started a6to5 favorite for the first race overa | mile. He was away in front, and holding his field safe, won with comparative eass in 1:42. In a drive Clawson, on Ber- nardillo, took the place from Grady through superior riding. Vinctor ran sec- ond to the stretch, where he grew tired. The two-mile race was a very pretty con- test, and served to show little Clawson, Atkin & Lottridge's clever Joung rider, to good advantage. The iad had the mount on Unity, the 2 to 1 favorite, and | rode him_with Derfect judgment. Waii- ing back in the bunch with Ezell's horse until reachin : the stretch, the final tim. | he made his run, and overhauling o | after another of his field, he beat Collins | out a length bandily in 3:22. The latter horse cut out all the running. Oakland, very poorly handied by Jones, was third, | lapped on Collins. | W B, sink’s sprinter, Ceesarian, took | the final five and a half furlong scramble, | starting equal choice in the betting with | California. Zamar II led into the stretch, | | where Cmsarian headed him and won cleverly by a length. Away from the post poorly, California finished a close third. | e | NOTKS, Porter Ashe is said 10 have cleaned up | $12,000 over the victory of Ruinart. | The handicapping the past meeting at | Emeryville has been excellent, and the many upsets are a tribute to the clever- | ness in adjusting weights of that compe- | tent official, J. W. Brooks. | | Clawson has many followers. He is a | painstaking little fellow, the support of a family, and well deserves to meet with aldwin sale of horses in training | which took vlace at the track yesterday was not a great success.

Successful | | people usualiy carry their chins thrust forward, with compressed lips. This chin, | if heavy, with broad rami and sweliing | masseters, indicates fighting blood. A retreating chin shows lack of force, mentally, morally and physically; usually of the yie:ding cort: soon discouraged; | desires protection; small executive force. | The development of other faculiies often | makes up for this defect. A small weli-rounded chin, with mobile and red cashion of flesh upon, indicates a pleasure-loving own-r. It dimupied all the more so, for dimylad chins belong to coquettes. People with dimples love to be peited and loved; like admiration and praise. Generally fickle. Usually tnis | chin is healthy, Tecuperative and long- | hived. Broad chins signify nobleness and large dixnity, U vertically thin, when, if with it tner thin lips of bloodless kind, you find cruelty. Square cuins with little flesh denote firmness and executive cbliity. Thes: make good haters. | Drunkards usually have a circular line | about their chins. Slovens have wrinkles about their chins, Long thin chins are poetical, unstatls | and delicate in constitution. Such people are subject te bowel derangements.

We thank the people for the great manifestation of con- fidence indicated by the tremendous outpouring of multitudes since this great sale began. No clothing sale in years has attracted the universal attention of this. And why ? Because it is genuine. The situation is clear. Just before the new tariff on wool went into effect we withdrew all our goods from bond— stocked our warehouses to overflowing—and, of course, obligated ourselves heavily to the banks. These obligations must be met, and at once; hence this tremendous sacrifice of profits. ) d ) I AT $4.85.
