One followed him into his doorway and asked him if a certain family lived in the neighborhood.

Mrs. Lizzie McEntee, 521 Elizabeth street, was walking along Church street, between Twenty-second and Twenty- third, Saturday night, shortly before 10 o'clock, when a young man asked her to | direct him to some number. She turned | round to show him, when he struck her a violent blow on the back of the head Before he could repeat the blow she uttered a piercing scream and he ran. Policeman John Mullan was doing quar- antine duty at 991 Church street and heard the woman’s scream. He saw a man running in his direction and ordered him to stop. The man continued his flight and Mullan fired a shot in the air to intimidate him, but it had no effect and the man ran through a vacant lot to Vicksburg street and disappeared in the darkness. What his object could have been in attacking the woman is a puzzle to the police. EURGLARS BUSY ON DIFFERENT STREETS Fodera’s Poultry Store and Other Places Visited and Money and Articles Stolen.

The gale of merry winds did not even ruffle the determined souls who weré on sport bent, wet or fine, cloud or shine. The day's sport opened with shooting’ for bars, fol- lowed by the special events. In the face of a howling gale after the second event the shooting was discontinued.

Healey. This stake finally went to W. Raught's Silver Heels, with J. J. Ma- loney’s Topsy Turvy runner up. The coursing was held in a drenching rain, which fell almost without interrup- tion throughout the day. The attendance was large, the betting ring containing a surging, jostling crowd which made loco- | motion ‘impossible. The spectators were | under cover, while the field officials, clad in waterproofs, galloped about through all the downpour. The feature of the card was the Cali- fornia Plate, which was won for the first | time last year by Palo Alto. Of the last | four dogs left in the stake three were frcm the kennel of A. R. Curtis, while 8isquoc made up the quartet. With Bea- con, Rector and Anchor, it seemed the | honors must go to the San Jose coursing man. Sisquoc and Beacon won__their courses and were left to struggle for the long end of the purse. It was nearly dusk when they went to the slips for the all-important deciding course. The betting opened with Beacon a1 to 2 favorite. The odds fluctuated be- tween 2 and 3 to 1, the bulk of the money going in at the former figure. Sisquoc had had 110 seconds’ running up to this time to 80 for Beacon.. When the hare made its appearance and the dogs were liberated Beacon at once showed the speed. He scored five points before Sis- quoc joined in. It was give and take then, first one dog and then the other scoring. The hare was a flyer, and, after running well up the field, he doubled back toward the south side of the park. At this time Sisquoc was doing all the work, Wwinning ultimately by a score of 17 points to 12. The dogs ran 110 seconds. The life of the hare was saved by Slip- per James Grace, who caught and tossed the tired animal over a three-foot fence Wwhere the greyhounds could not reach it. Sisquoc proved himself the best dog in the running, having a great flight of speed and unlimited gameness. He will meet Sacramento Boy in a speclal match one week from next Sunday. Mr. Healey and his friends are enjoying a laugh at the expense of A. Orthwen, a wealthy St. Louis man, who wanted to buy the Petaluma man’'s kennel. The latter fixed a price of $1000 for some ten greyhounds, including all those that dis- tinguished themselves yesterday. The prospective purchaser has been backin, and filling over the matter and allowe the sale to lapse. The greyhounds won $500 In prize money yesterday, and it is doubtful if they could now be secured for .

The stones laid yesterday were those from San Francisco -and San Joaquin counties and those presented by the Mex- ican War veterans and the Grand Parlor of the Native Sons. Two others—those contributed by the Native Daughters and by Placer County—will be laid on Monday. The day’s ceremonies began at 10 o'clock with the raising of the flag over the old Custom-house, where Sloat first flung it to the breeze on California soil. A great-grandsen of Commodore Sloat, Mr. Whittemore of San Francisco, had the honor of raising it yesterday. A pro- cession was then formed and marched to the monument site, where the stones were laid, that of San Francisco being first lowered into its place. Vice Presi- dent Samuel W. Boring. of the Sloat Monument Association, assisted by Ma- jor- Edwin A. Sherman of Oakland and Captain Thomas G. Lambert and J. W. Bagby of Monterey, performed the Ma- sonic ceremonies of applying the tools of the craft in laying the stones. The tools used were those from Quitman Lodge of North Bloomfield, and were chosen because that lodge Is named after General Quitman, a Mexican War vet- eran, and military Governor of Mexico City during the erican occupation. The exercises continued into the after- noon. and included, besides the Masonic rites, an address by Colonel Stuard, pres- ident of the Sloat Monument Association. The Mexican War veterans were rep- resented by Wellington C. Burnett of San Jose, Captain Cleary and George Thistleton of San Francisco, and Major Sherman and General Thomas E. Ketcham of Stockton, and the Grand Parlor of Native Sons by Grand Secre- tary Henry Lunstedt of San Francisco, Grand Trustee Joseph R. Knowland of Alameda and Alexander Underwood of Monterey. A delegation from the Na- tive Daughters’ Grand Parlor will be gresent when their stone is laid on Mon- ay. Oakland Track Entries.

NORTHERN ROADS STEAL 0 MARCH ON HARRIMAN Get the Transportation of Five Hun- dred Carloads of Tobacco for the Orient. TACOMA, Feb. 23.—It has just come to light that the Northern Pacific and Great Northern railways are quietly hauling not less than 500 carloads of tobacco from Virginia and other Southern States to Ta- coma and Seattle for shipment to the Orient. The tobacco has been arriving in trainload lots and going forward in great quantities on all the steamers sailing re- cently. It consists chiefly of tobacco leaf sncked in hogsheads, and will be used in apan and China for cigarettes. Most of At will be manufactured into Japanese cigarettes.. ‘The short tobacco crop in Japan has lessened the supply of the Government tobacco monopoly there, making heavy importations necessary. Learning this fact, the northerd transcontinental roads quoted close through rates, providing the tobacco were shipped in trainload lots. About 350 ‘carloads of leaf have already arrived ’I&Sound points or are now en route. remainder of the 500 carloads will come West: between now and April 1. It is understood that the reticence of the railway officlals re;aniluf these ship- ments has been due to a desire not to al- low the Harriman lines and other South- ern roads to learn their size and impor- tance. Thus it happens that the lfilp. ments are practically completed before any public announcement regarding them is made. —_— Niagara Mine to Be Reopened.

VISALIA, Feb. 23.—Not across burning £ands, but through a region that had just been blessed by t.e rain god, 250 Mystic Shriners journeyed to Visalia Saturday. Of these 200 came direct from San Fran- cisco. The reason for the gathering was that there were in this city forty noviti- ates awaiting induction into the order. Visalia took a half-holiday in honor of the visitors and the sireets were brilliant with fluttering flags, bunting and stream- ers. Following the Initiation, the Shriners sat down to a Spanish banquet at 2 o'clock this morning. Members were present from Fresno, San Franeisco, Bakersfleld, Hanford, Tulare, Porterville and other points. The banquet hall has been elaborately decorated and the visit- in< Shfiners were ushered into the pres- ence of the stateliest palms, the rarest flowers and the choicest evergreens that grow in this favored region. Samuel M. Shortridge and Charles H. Murphy deliv- ered addresses. Willlam Kettner of this city is credited with having planned this notable pilgrim- age.
