THE SAN FR NOTHING BT FAVORITES, ! 1 Six Well-Backed First Choices Landed the. Coin Cleverly. FLASHLIGHT WON GALLOPING, William Pinkerton Showed Himself to Be a Very Fair Youngster. Picking winners at the track yesterday required neither adroitness nor brains, All that was nece: to win was to put your money down on the favorite and get into line. Six straight favorites won, and easy at that, all of them passing the winning post with something to spare. Tod Sloan and Bob Isom carried off the riding honors, each riding two winners. ! Bookmaker George Rose’s horses seem to be in pretty good shape just at present, for his colors flashed by the stand in front on two occasions yesterday. 2 The mile handicap was the feature on the | day’s card. As'a handicap, however, it proved a dismal failure, the two light- weights running over the top of their ne}d. Flashlight, the Derby candidate, with eighty-four pounds up, was a heavily played 8 ‘to 5 favorite, with B. Isom up. Whitestone was a consistent second choice, going to the post 13 to 5. The majority of the other starters, with the exception of Nebuchadnezzar and Midas, looked high and “beefy”’ and their price in the ring in- dicated that their stable-connections were not enthusiastic over their chances. The race-demonstrated that when good and fit Flashlight is a rather speedy piece of horseflesh, for ‘he . jumped out in iront and gailoped all_the way and won pulling up by four: lengths in 1:41. Whitestone, second into thestretch, v beaten out for the place somewhat handily by Nebuchad- nezzar. The bookmakers scented trouble from sfar in the first. race, when the Ledette filly, a two-year.old and a- 7 to 10 favorite, scampered off in front and won_ easily by $wo lengths from the Eva S II gelding. J O C was a fair third. | With.too miuch money the talent swooped into the,ring humming *Do, Do, My Mul- | berry,” and proceeded to pounce on George Rose’s horse Mulberry, the -1 to 2 favorite for.the ‘second event on.the card, a mile selling affair.’ ‘A few of the more brilliant minds played Mat Storn’s Del Norte for the place, getting 10 to 1 against their money. Gay prices against the others had but little charms. Probably the bookmakers did not enjoy seeing Mulberry canter in front all the way and win easily by two lengths, but there. was Blizzard made a bid for the money to the head of the stretch, when he began tiring and was | beaten out for the place by Del Norte. Hard Napoleonic -frown on “Phil face became even more severe as he chalked up the priceagainst William inkerton he.colt race, and the look on Nick- ‘Hal face indicated that he was beginning. ‘to. think that perhaps there were - If games than the “‘jumpers,” | for it looked like another “pipe” for the brother to R And he won just as easily as the preceding winners, after getting no too much the st.of a rather straggling start. Tennessee Maid, the one picked to run second,-larided there, and it was noth- ing: but hard ‘luck for the bookies. Had there been. 3how - odds it would have been still jer ‘on them, for the third choice, Ouida filly, finished third. -After thisrace Johnny Coleman of the Stuyvesant- Club looked warm, and- when wome bettor remarked that one of ‘the dol- lars Johnny: handed him back in change was a ‘‘phony,” he -offered to bet him a 100to1l it riot: 1suppose he thought -he might just as well lose it that way asto be peddling it out the rear end of the box. he fifth Tace. a five-furlong spin, was just what the. Empress of Norfolk had een looking for: -Starting a 6to 5 chance, she won under - restraint by three lengths from North, who came_like a shot the last forty fards and beat Ricardo for the sec- ond place. Before marking up the odds on the last race, Johnny Humphreys looked as though if he had an armchair handy he would sit down and think, hink of thé days when he and Charley Kingsley and Phil -Archi- bald used to-book, how favorites were beaten—and now how different. It was rough, but he chalked 6 to 5 against Real- ization, for Johnny likes to lay against ‘favorites. Frank Van Nessand his friends backed Gold Bug down a couple of points, but he was never in it. Brodhead and Captain Coster led into the stretch, when the favorite moved for the lead, and a six- teenth from home went to the front and won - easily by a length from Quarterstaff, who made a fine_run, starting with 20 to 1 against him. Captain Coster ended in third place. : i Lightning seldom strikes twice in the same place, and it would not be surprising to see the favorites bowled over to-day. ha MULHOLLAND.

Around the Ring, Harry Griffin is still on the ground and the Jockey Club will probably be minus that fat fine. Quarterstaff paid well for the place, 15 to | 1being laid against him for the second position. Nick Hall is reported to have disposed of his great jumper, Floodmore, to Walter Hobart, and he will go East with the balance of the young millionaire’s string, in charge of Charles Hunn. The reported price is $5000. Ed Purser stood to win $6000 had Quarter- staff finished first instead of second. Six furlongs is more to the horse’s liking than the shorter distance. Ameng the foals reported from Rancho del Paso isa fine-looking filly dropped by Firenzi, the ex-queen of the running turf, on Sunday last, to the great Salvator. When this young miss passes under the auctioneer’s hammer she will undoubtedly be the cause of some very lively bidding. The fifth race yesterday was declared off and the thirteen entries that remained in the last race were split, making two races. Glenn could not get swaf' from the post with the Julia Martin fill and the flag finally fell without him. According to O'Neil, Eckert & Co.’s latest quotations on the derbies, their book is full on Flashlight in the Harlem Derby, but 50 to 1is laid against him in the Hawthorne Derby. Gallant,the Spreckels’ stable entry, is marked full in both derbies. James Neil was disappointed in the run- ning of his youngster, the gray Idalia geld- ing yesterday. Circulars with the official weights for the Indiana and Minnesota handicaps have been sent out by Secretary Joe Murphy of the Harlem track, Chicago. In the Minne- sota, Domino and €lifford are well taken care of, with 128 pounds each, but if Rey del Carreres is what thé stable crack him up to be he should walk in with 99 pounds up. In the Indiana handicap Rey el Santa Anita_is top weight, with- 122 pounds, Yo Tambien and Rubicon being allotted 118 pounds each. Cadmus is assigned 110 pounds, two pounds less- than he gets in the Minnesota.

THHE[-EU—HEW FIGHT. The Persons Interested Are McGaughey, Wilson and Dr. Plouf. Significant Reasons Given by Mc~ Gaughey for Carrying a Revolver. i il C. C. Wilson, who wasarrested along with J.D. L. McGaughey last week on the charge of attemrpting, by verbal threats, to extort money on the complaint of Dr. J. E. Plouf, made a statement under oath in Judge Campbell's court yesterday, with the view of . having leniency. extended to him and possibly being. relieved of the charge. In effect, he said McGaughey and C. S. Johnson induced him to take about a dozen letters, which- were in pieces, to a Mr. Curtis. of Woodland, with the object of identifying them primarily and inci- dentally to get $200.or $300 from Mrs. Cur- tis for'the letters.” The letters ‘had been taken out of Dr. Plonf's wastebasket by McGaughey while he was in Plouf’s service, in August of last year. It was also thought that the letters might be of service to Johnson in his suit against Plouf for the recovery of money he had put in Plouf’s busiiiess. Another point was that Curtis might become enraged and either kill or drive Plouf out of the city. The Judge continued the case till May 2. McGaunghey gives a most. emphatic de- nial to Wilson’s statement. He says that ‘Wilson has been in the ;{:\y of Dr. Plouf since he came here and the statement is art of the plan to persecute him and drive Bim out of the city. On November 21 last McGaughey applied to the Police -Commissioners for a permit to carry a revolver, which contained the following reasons: I am informed by a Mr. Mahoney in Sanborn & Vail's that one rheumatism specialist, a Dr. Plouf, had told him he would fixme if it took ten years- for. the chance. A .Mr. Wilson aiso told me that said Plouf said to him that he would follow me to the end of the earth and make me wish I was never born. He has also made similar statements to other reputable citizens. - _ During the past two months there has scarcely beeri a day passed that his hirelings and “detectives have not called either at my office or my residence, and made threats of blackmail and extortion upon me, and have endeéavored to get me from my house at night by all manner of schemes, and several of hirelings have told me that they were hired to | do ne up. Last hight a man, who gave me his and said he was hired by Plouf to whip me. He came in the house and informed me of the “whole affair, and wanted to be bought off. Now, I have been_a peace officer during my life; #nd want to_observe the laws, but I can not’put up with these insults and threats ‘upon my life, besides the worry and interfering in my house and against my family. My occupa- tion is accountant, and my residence 404 Ellis .| street, this city and county. 1 would add that dozens of people knew of the above mentioned proceedings, and can corroborate my state- ments. A ———— "A’Literary Crific Adrift. The Report does Thomas Gregory, one of the CaLu's reportorial staff, an honor when it editorially alludes to him as a Clarke Russell, and the compliment is appreciated; but the Report, goes adrift as a literary critic when it quofes as being a plagiarism from Russell’s warks thé following sentence, which appeared in Mr. Gregory’s description of the Glory of the Seas in these colimns recently: Stie is a typical American merchantman, from 4 | her deep keel to the ip of her towering royal mast, from her long mainyard to the littie spar where the syksall catches the clouds in its white folds. Will the book-reviewer of the Report kindly .| state in-which one of Mr. Russell’s. works the above sentence may be found? As a matter of fact the accusation is inicorrect, and the even- ing paper grows humorous over a fancied re- semblence between the writings of the marine noyelist and the nautical news items of the “CALL'S water-front reporter. ety i Al ‘Women nandn{s are generally acknowl- edged to be an inch or two taller, and two or three inches greater in 'chest develop- _ment, than their grandmothers were. —————— Ind.

Some Very Good Records Made by the Marksmen Who En- tered the Contest. PATERSON, N. J., April 3.—The third annual tournament of the live-pigeon shooting under the auspices of the Inter- state Manufacturers’ and Dealers’ Associa- tion, was begun at Willard Park to-day. There was a light wind blowing when the sport began, but it increased considerably in the afternoon and made things rather uncomfortable for the marksmen. The Willard Park introductory secured twenty- two entries. This event was at 7 birds, $7 entrance, class shooting, 28 yards rise, three moneys, 50, 30 and 20 per cent, price of birds.deducted from entrance. Elliott, Clark, Class, Van Dyke, Mayhew, Captain Money and Leroy divided first money, each of them having killed seven straight. Fulford, Arnold, Green, Hoff- man, White, Pfister, Morfrey, A. S. White, Glover and Henry divided second money. The Passaic Falls sweepstakes at 7 birds were shot off at the same traps. The conditions were: $5 entrance, the birds ex- tra, not class shooting, 28 yards rise, three moneys, 50, 30 and 20 per cent. Forty- three men entered for this event, and thir- teen of them killed seven straight. They shot off ‘““missesout,” and after the fourth round, when four men had dropped out, the remaining nine agreed to. divide thie money, which amounted to $215. The winners were Messrs. Moore, Post, Swee- ney, Von Longerk, Brewer, Money, Van Dyke, Dickey and Leroy. The principal shoot of the day was the Nitro-Powder handicap at fiiteen birds, §15 entrance, class shooting, four moneys, 40, 30, 20 and 10 per cent, price of birds to be deducted from the purse. There were thirty-six. entries for this event and it was brought off atthe Main, at which the big handicap will be shot to-morrow. This resulted in a tie between Ed D. Ful- ford and” F. 8. Van Dyke, both of whom made clean scores, and the money was di- vided. Thirty-six men contested and the shooting was good throughout. The best scores were: E. D. Fulford (32), 15; F. 8. Van Dyke (30), 15; J. A. R. Elliott (33), 14; R. O. Heikes (31), 14; F. Class (32), 14; D. C. Henry (28), 14; Frank Hyde (27), 14; Captain J. T. Brewer (33), 14; J. 8. Sedam (29), 14; H. R.

STOPPED BY POLICE. The Seaside Athletic Club’s Boxing Mateh Entails Interference. NEW YORK, N. Y., April 3.—There was a fairly big crowd at the boxing bouts at the Seaside Athletic Club to-night. The opening bout between Mike Leonard and Eddie Pierce, both of New York, was decided in favor of Pierce. The next bout was between Jimmy Handler of Newark, N. J., and Al 0’Brien of Philadelphia, ten rounds at 133 pounds. Both men were very clever. In the fourth round O’Brien got a punch in the stomach that floored him, and in the sixth came very, nearly going out with a right-hand punch on the jaw and a fearful left-hand jab on the stomach. He fell to the floor and was almost counted out before he re- gained his feet. O’Brien was at the mercy of Handler in the seventh, and fell to the floor-again in an attempt to evade a body blow. In the ninth Handler banged away for the face, landing nearly every time he led. Handler won. Mike Dunn of Australia, and Joe Wal- cott of Boston, were then announced for the big event of twenty-five rounds at 150 pounds. ‘Walcott was seconded by Tom O'Rourke, Joe Huttler and Ted Murtha of New York. Dunn was seconded by ‘“Young Griffo,” Tom Denny, Paddy Gorman and Benny Murphy. The first round was tame. In the sec- ond Walcott planted a very hard right- hand jab under Dunn’s heart and Dunn got in a right-hand smash on Walcott’s mouth, securing first blood. In the third Walco#t rushed Dunn to the ropes, but Dunn planted his left again on the mouth. In the next Walcott’s left | all cases of children a landed on Dunn’s throat, and ina rapid exchange his right got to Dunn’s stomach. ‘Walcott landed on the chest with his right and led again arid doubled Dunn up with a blow on the stomach. In the fifth round Dunn jabbed Walcott five times on the nose with his left and Walcott retaliated with his right on the jaw. Walcott got in a right-hand swing on the head. Dunn uppercut Walcott on the nose, but the Boston man got square with two jabs on the face and body. - In the sixth Walcott rushed, but Dunn stopped him and uppercut him twice and landed with his left three times in the mouth. In the eighth Walcott landed-on the ribs and then put his right on the jaw. Dunn went to his knees. Walcott hit Dunn when and where he wished after this and after putting in a heavy left on Dunn’s stomach Dunn seemed to be dazed. Wal- cott used left and right as rapidly asa trip- hammer and soon had Dunn groggy. ‘When the bell rang Dunn did not know where he was. Police Captain Clayton then stopped the fight and Referee Hirst awarded the fight to Walcott. Knocked Out in Ohio. TOLEDO, Omio, April 3.—Near North Baltimore, Ohio, this morning Fred Meagher of Bradford, Pa., knocked out Ike Tenny of Youngstown, Ohio. The purse was $300 and a side bet. BASEBALL AND ATHLETICS, First Intercollegiate Game of the Season at Berke- ley. What Willlam Kennedy of the Olymplc Thinks of Eastern Boxers. Amateur baseball is very popular this season, and considerable interest in the series of games that have been arranged by the clubs has been manifested by the lovers of the national game. The Stan- ford and Berkeley university nines will meet on Saturday at Berkeley, and a sharp contest is looked for, as both clubs have practiced faithfully for the game. The fol- lowing correspondence from Stanford con- cerning baseball and athletics will interest patrons of the sport: Captain D{er of the Stanford baseball team gives the following as the line-up for the next gme, which takes place at 2 p. M. Saturday on e Berkeley diamond and which is the first intercollegiate match of the season: Pitcher, McLaine; catcher, Russell: first base, Young; second base, Dyer; shortstop, White; third pase, Lewis; right field, Calhoun; center field, Sheehan; left field, Harrelson; substitutes— Thompson, Jeff, Pincus. The general opinion is that Stanford will add another victery to her unbroken list of base- ball victories over Berkeley. The changes made in the Stanford team undoubtedly strengthen it and it is practically the final 'Varsity nine as now made uf. The time of the game has been set atan early hour in order that Stanford stu- dents who attend may have time enough to get back to witness the first presentation of the operetta ‘‘Pinafore,” by Stanford students. “Pinafore” will be given both Friday and Sat- urday evenings. Another trial field day takes place to-day on the Stanford field and good records are looked for, as ‘this virtually decides on Stan- | ford’s representatives. Brown is disappointed that so few men have trained regularly. Prob- ably fifteen men will cover all that Stanford can send out. The Pennsylvania method of selecting track- men has been adopted here, though the limits are lower than set by the University of Penn- sylvania in order that more may be disposed to try for the places. The following is the stand- ard: One hundred-yard dash, 11 sec.; 220- yard dash, 2417 sec.; 440-yard run, 56 sec.; B30-yard run, 2 min. 5 see.; 1milerun,5 min.; runnlnghigh jump, 5 ft. 4 in.; running broad jump, 20 ft.; pole vault, 9 it.; shot put, 34 ft.; hammer throw, ft.; mile walk, 8 min. 30 sec.; 120-yard hurdle, 18 sec.; 220- yard hurdle, 29 sec. The first tennis match of the season between Stanford and Berkeley will be held on the Berkeley courts next Saturday at 9:30 A. M. Stanford willsend out Picher and Packard to look out for her interests. These gentlemen will represent her both in the doubles and singles. A, Pettee and Charles Moth, well-known wrestlers, have signed articles to wrestle in this city on April 1 for a purse of $300. The conditions are that the men wrestle in ac- cordance with catch-as-catch-can rules, best two out of three falls. Pettee will train at the Olympic Club, and Moth will in all probability do his exercising some- where in the vicinity of the Six-mile House. The indoor athletes of the Olympic Club are anxious for another boxing tourna- ment, as several of the club’s leading ex- ponents of the manly art have been keep- Ing themselves in good fettle with a view of taking an Kastern trip in the near future. In regard to the proposition made by the Olympic Club to the New York Athletic Club for a meeting of the boxers of the two clubs in New York, Herman Oelrichs, who is the moving athletic spirit of the Olympic Club, received a letter from New York a few days ago, the contents of which he has not yet made public to the super- intendent of the Olympic. The latter, however, is of the opinion that the news received from the East is not favorable to the boys of the Olympic who had already set their minds on ‘a trip over the big | mountains. As Mr. Kennedy remarkefi‘ yesterday: “If good news had been received by Mr. Oelrichs I would have heard from him im- mediately. The delay, however, has almost convinced me “that the Eastern boxers have no particular desire of engag- ing in a sevies of boxing bouts with the crackerjacks of the Olympic and, to speak the truth, I don’t blame them, as they would receive the worst_ drubbing they ever got in their lives, and it wouldn’t do, you know, for a handful of boxers from the wild West to go to New York and teach the Freat athlétes of the East a few ood healthy lessons in the art of self- efense, and “that would assuredly be the result.’” PREVENTION OF ORUELTY. The Society Proposes to Enforce the 8 O’clock Ordinance. The Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children met yesterday. Secretary Mc- Comb reported that 146 new cases were investigated during March, the number of children involved being 248. Of these 49 were placed in institutions, 8 in families and 193 were returned to their parents. There were 55 prosecutions, 43;convictions, 10 dismissals and 2 cases are pending trial. A communication was received from Eldridge T. Gerry of the New York Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children relative to the Regaloncita case, which ap- ared in the CALL two weeks ago. This 13 the case of the little dancer who ap- peared at the Orpheum and on whose account Manager Walter was arrested. Mr. Gerry said: ‘These children have not only been driven out of New York, but we believe that they, or their mother and manager, have been arrested and mleeu'fid in Boston and also in Chicago. eir assertion that they have been permitted to dance in this city is untrue.

AN ABANDONED BICCLE A Woman May Have Been Con- nected With the Stagg Murder. RENDEZVOUS NEAR OAKLAND. The Story of a Constable Who Was Watching Browning and’ Brady. The discovery of a lady’s bicycle aban- doned on the ocean beach the morning after the Stagg murder has added further mystery to the case of the up-fo-date train- robbers, footpads and murderers. It also goes to show that Browning’s and Brady’s companion may have been a woman dressed in man’s clothing. It is now well known that Browning and Brady were fre- quently accompanied by a smooth-faced young fellow of delicate build on many of their bicycling trips to the park, cliff and the Ingleside, and this person—apparently a man of 20 years—may have been one of Browning’s and Brady’s women friends. Miss Tillie Liljegrist, daughter of Bra- dy’s landlady, and Miss Minnie Besby, her neighbor, were the companions of the two murderers on trips when the four went to the Cliff House, but they appeared always in the costume of Jtheir sex, so far as'is known. Charles E. Williams, Frank Shaer, J. E. Healy and Joseph Ericeson, four youn men living in the vicinity of the corner o Twenty-fourth and Florida streets, wenf out to the ocean beach on the morning of March 17 and found a lady’s bicycle about 100 feet from the end of the wharf of the Olympic Salt Water Company. Williams took it from there and rode it to the wheelery below the life-saving sta- tion and left it there in charge of a special oliceman. The following Wednesday Villiams went out to the beach again and asked the policeman whether any one had called for 1t. U}mn learning that no owner had afipefired Williams took the wheel and rode home with it, leaving his address with the policeman. He found the wheel to be clu%ged with sand, and he noticed at the time he first saw it that it looked as if it had had hard usage through dust and sand. He cleaned it up on reaching his home and he and his friends have been having good times riding the bicycle ever since. When the news came that the Stagg murderers probably used bicycles to get away from the scene of the crime Williams told Policeman Young about his discovery on the morning after the murder. Young informed Sergeant Burke, who took pos- session of the wheel and turned it over to Captain Lees yesterday morning. Mrs. Liljegrist’s house was in darkness last evening when a reporter called, but the landlady came to the door. She said her daughter was sleeping peacefully for once ang she would not disturb her. Mrs. Liljegrist suid her daughter never owned a bicycle and furthermore she had not been out with Brady for over two months. They had had a falling out, and her dsughter had refused to speak to Brady ever since the first part of February. Mrs. Liljegrist also said that Miss Besby had had a falling out with Browning at the same time her daughter had with Brady. Mrs. Liljegrist spoke very favorably of Brady, and said she believed that if he was guilty he must have been led astray by others. Another story comes from Oakland to the effect that Browning and Brady had a rendezvous on the San Leandro road, the exact location of which is only known to Constable Benjamin Jones. His story is as follows: I knew both Browning and Brady well, though they did not go by those names while on this side of the bay. About six months ago I learned they wanted to buy a horse. I took & run out and was directed to_their house and saw Browning, who went by the name of George. 1 had two or three conversations with him d finally one day he asked me whether I was in any other business beside that of horse- trading. Brady was present at the time the conversation occurred and when I told them that I was a constable I saw them exchange a startled look and after that the negotiations for the horse lagged. I learned that the woman in whose house they were stopping had rented it about six weeks before. She was recognized by some people keeping a resort on the road as & person who had kept a free and easy house in Seattle, ther in Portland and recently in San Fran- cisco. The two men never seemed to be doing any- thing except loafing abdut the place in sweaters and bicycle trousers, and were very non-committal when questioned regarding their business. They frequently left the house in the even- ing about dark, taking the cars running to- ward Oakland, and ususlly returned on a very early car, though not always on the morning following the evening they left. They would remain at home for several days, and then sud- denly disappear again, I was able to become perfectly familiar with them during the visits that 1 made to the house, and 1 am wiiling to swear, from the pictures of them that I have since seen, that the two men were none other than Browning and Brady. The morning after Cornelius Stagg was killed the two men came over from Snn%'nncisco on an early morning boat, and after taking a drink at Twenty-third nue took the electric car, buying tickets for Haywards. They seemed o be excited about something and evaded the uestions of several people who knew them rom seeing them transfer there before. A few days later both men suddenly disap- eared from the house; no one seeing them eave. I know this, because i was watching them and went out to make inquiries. The ‘woman said they had gone to Nevada. Then came the news that Sheriff Bogard had Yteen murdered, and from the descriptions given of his slayers I knew that they were the men I had been trailing. Iwent to the neighborhood of the rendezvous yesterday and at once learned that Brady had returned, but that Browning, or George, as the people about there called him, was still absent. Brady suddenly vanished. Soon atter I came down town a friend of mine gave him a check for $10 to get cashed in Oakland. He said he would be back in a couple of hours, but up to noon to-day had not put in an appeatance. Ithink he must heve grown sns- picious through seeing me about and left for some other part of the State. I cannot be mis- taken about the men for their descriptions tally to & hair with those given out by the police. When Isaw apicture of Browning I recognized him as George in an instant with- out being told who the photo represented. erbert C. Evans, who keeps an express wagon on Twenty-third avenue, near Twelith street, was equally positive that the men he often saw going on board the Haywards elec- tric-cars on early morning trips were none other than Browning and Brady,and I saw them frequently, he said, and when_their por- traits were published I recognized them at once. GRAND JURY ANTIQIPATED. ‘Why Patrolman McGrayn Had to Raid Clock Games. There is a queer little story told in con- nection with Police Officer Richard J. Mec- Grayn’s appearance before the Grand Jury. For the past two months the clock games }‘;Tv:‘ '!)een running with a good deal of reg- arity. ‘ The Grand Jury decided to investigate this species of bling, and last Friday Patrolman McGrayn wassummoned be- fore that body. He told of the clock games and declared that if he could be ex- cused for an hour he would get his papers and give a more detailed report. Inan hour he returned, but stated that he had mislaid his papers and asked for_further time. He was notified to appear Monday awl;mwgeuedm terday aftc but th e ap] yes a) €rr.oon, but the the cloc! es had been raided in_the morning, and to explain this Police Officer McGrayn declared that he had been sum- moned by Captain Douglass and told to raid the clock games. He pleaded with the captain, so he told the grand jurors, that he was to appear be- fore the Grand Jury in the afternoon and that they might think he had broken faith if the raid was made meantime. The answer was an order to make, the raid and it was obeyed. Shl, PARENTS, DONT WORRY! Paine’s Gelery Com Nervous Nervous exhaustion in children is worry- ing a great many fathers and mothers these days. ‘While the hurry and bustle of modern life is bringing a constantly increasing strain upon grown men and women, there certainly comes to light the startling fact of a growing tendency toward nervousness among their children. As these boys and girls, when older, will enter a life of nervous strain fully as ex- | acting as that of to-day, it is no wonder that parents view with dismay these early signs of nervous weakness and anxiously seek some means of making the young people strong and well again. The remedy is at hand in every city and town in America. Tt is the remedy first preseribed by that | greatest of all modern educatorsy Professor Edward E. Phelps, M.D., LL.D., of Dart- mouth College. Itis Paine’s celery com- pound, which Principal Camp of New | Haven and President Cook of the National | Teachers’ Association have so recently | recommended. i Countless parents to-day give their chil- | dren Paine’s celery compound and see | them grow robust and vigorous day by | day before their eyes till they are again re- stored to the perfect health that belongs to | youth. Physicians everywhere advise the | use of this greatest of blood purifiers and | nerve foods. | One of the danger signals of nervous ex- | haustion among young people is the lack | of desire for food and the capriciousness of appetite. When their over-pressed nervous systems have been driven to the point of exhaustion, their faces grow pale and pound Strengthens pinched, their spirits decline, their bodies lose perceptibly in weight and strength, they need more and more some active means of supplying the nerves and tissues with better nutrition, and the veins with better blood. When - Paine’s celery com- pound is given. to one of these excitable, weak-nerved, sallow, Eerha]w scrofulous young persons, the mother is often amazed at the rapidity with which.it restores the strength, builds up the worn nervous tis- sues, and replaces the languor of a depleted nervous systemi by the elasticity of youth- ful health. . Paine’s celery compound ‘makes people ‘well—not only worn out, enfeebled men and women'of mature age, but young per- sons wigse slighter-powers have been over- taxed by excitement or immoderate" work without proper initervals for rest and repair. Paine’s celery -compound has played a most important part in the lives of thou- sands of young people in every section of this country. Many, whose Dervous sys- tems had been so stimulated as to unfit them utterly for study, it has made vigor- ous and strong enough to ably bear the burden of coming rs. It has enabled them to.grow up vigorous men and women, capable of doing the part of active, strong men and women in the world. Mr, James B. Wetzel, writing from his home in New lin, Penn., says: Allow me to speak a few words in praise Paine’t celery compound. My younger sister, whose picture I send you, was sub- ject to nervous atta: nd, we thought, to heart trouble.. We tried numerous med- icines for her ailments; but without much avail. Last winter she had a severe attack of nervous trouble with hér ‘eyes,-and we gave her Paine’s celery compound and she improved . wonderfully .upon it, and she has been well ever si If these few'words of unsolicited testimony can be of any ben- efit pleasé use them as’my unbiased -and and unprejudiced opinion.” ASTING DISEASES WEAKEN WONDER- fully because they weaken you slowly, gradu. ally.
