THE SAN FRANCISCO - CALL, FRIDAY, MAY 3, 1895. 9 15 4 MOSES UNTO THEM. Congressman Sibley, Cham- pion of Free Coinage, Has Arrived. HIS EFFORT IN THE HOUSE. What Made Him the Chosen Leader of the Advocates of Silver. There came to this City yesterday a man whose fame, since his celebrated speech in I t Congress in opposition to the bill own as the ‘‘Carlisle currency bill” has pread f ocean to” ocean, and who is epted by the champions of silver as the s to lead the Nation out from age of the golden Pharoah. He is man Joseph C. Sibley of Franklin, has served his constituency —the sixth District of Pennsylvania— ears as & “kicking” Democrat. gressman Sibley was making a West- ar with General A. J. Warner, the itive head of the American Bimetallic League, at the invitation of Senator W. M. Stewart of Nevada, and while at Denver news of the fatal sickness of his sister called him back home. General Warner met him at the Palace Hotel during the Congressman Joseph C. Sibley. [From a photograph.] afternoon y future plans Just when the big-mass-meeting is to be +held in this City has not been dacided. 1t may be necessary to wait until Senator Stewart can come here, which will not be before ten days at least. Mr. Sibley is a ready talker, and he proved himself ever equal to mes=t and conquer with eloquent humor his oppo- nents in the National House. His charac- teristic attacks upon President Cleveland and Secretary of the Treasury Carlisle at ngled him out for the admiration of ends of the white metal, and it is z the bimetallists that, ican nor the Demo- tic par nominate an out and out coinage man for President next y the bimetallists will plunge into the gre battle of the metals with Mr. Sible; their standard-bearer.

He cannot count upon any more than the city of New York and .th New England States. The farniers and merchants of the country dis- tricts of the State of New York are not for him. because they feel their farms and business slipping from under them, owing to the financial policy of the administra- tion. Now, we don’t want the next campaign to be fought out on the tariff. The people are satislied that it is not the tariff which is responsible for th ndition of business. Under the Clay tariff we had the panic of 1837; 25 per cent hea mer m 1896, under the Walker tariff of 25 p that of 1857, under the Morrell tariff of 48 that of 1873, and under the McKinley tariff of 58 per cent the panic of 1893—two low and two high tariffs—and a_panic with one the same as the other. What we went, then, is that the people shall have a chance to express themselves one way or another in 1896 onthe question of money,and 1 am American_enough to think that we can shape unr.\‘atiunul}'wlicy, financially, com- mercially and industrially without con- sulting any other Government.” A BROOK VETERAN. The Demon Sl:e]he.ud of the Lagu- nitas Has Been Caught at Last. In a deep,dark pool of the Lagunitas not a quarter of a mile from the bridge at Tocaloma lurks a big steelhead, one of the most aggravating and uncertain of fish. He was discovered by Ed Bosqui, who tofk a-cast for him, hooked and lost him. . This tale of the fish Mr. Bosqui told to John Cadman, himself an angler of skill and pertinacity. Mr. Cadman tried for the fish, and with the usual result. The cunning hermit of the pool staid just long enough with Mr. Cadman to break his tackle. He informed other ang- Yers of the incident, and since the opening of the season it has been the regular thing for fishermen to give the steelhead a rally, hook and loose him. A singular traitin the character of thisfish was that he never refused a call. No matter who u;l)’pened on the bank, the veriest tyro with a pole of willow or an expert with an expensive bamboo, the complacent steelhead came to the surface and took bold, apparently en- joying a short run with the hook in his guls, and smashing things generally when e thought the fun had gone far enough. It was Mr. Ireland’s good fortune to catch this fish. Not for keeps, however, for the big fellow is back again in his ol hole. He was scratching himself in.a rapid when Mr. Ireland nabbed him—not with hook and line, but by putting his hands quickly under him, and casting him ashore. The fish was*scarred from lead to tail, and had leaders tangled in him, and hooks enough in all parts of his body to start a small tackle-shop. He was the ugliest, meanest looking var- mint that ever swam—a regular coyote among fish. Had he been brought to basket the regular way, his captor might have beld him as a curiosity, but as he took a sort of unfair advantage of the fish, he will be found at home any day in the old pool to furnish material for a good fish story to the anglers of the Lagunitas. ——————— RIGHTS ON ELK RIVER. The Supreme Court Gives Them Its Close Consideration. The Supreme Court yesterday handed dow‘n an exhaustive opinion on the rights of riparian owners on the Elk River. The opinion, or rather two opinions, affirmed the ruling of the lower court. The case was entitled, “The People by relation of the Ricks Water Company vs. the Elk River Milland Lumber Company.” 1t was an action to restrain the defendant from polluting the waters of Elk River, from which the Ricks Water Company ob- tains water to sell to the inhabitants of Eureka. The complaint charged the defendant with polluting the river in five ways, viz., (1) by maintaining its barns, slaughter- house, corral and stables too near the stream; (2) by maintaining offices so that their drainage flows into the stream; (3) | by allowing sawdust to find its way into the stream; (4) by discharging refuse from its kitchens and (5) by impounding logs which exude coloring matter, etc. Upon the two last grounds the lower court refused an injunction and a new trial, from which decision the plaintiff appealed. The lower court did enjoin the defendants on the other three points, and they took an appeal from that decision. The Supreme Court minutely considers every point urged, and finally agrees that the lower court was justified in its view. At the same time Justice Temple, who wrote the decision, expresses much jealous regard over the rights of the lower riparian owners, who, he says, are apparenty satisfied with existing conditions. He be- lieves the point of the damage done by impounding the logs to be a very close question, although not sufficiently so to justify him in disturbing the decree. APPEALING TO' THE LAW. Coasting Sailors Bringing Suits for the Return of Their Advances. Secretary Furuseth of the Union Denies That the Strike Has Failed. The arrival of the large fleet of coasters and deep-water ships during the past week has filled the union strikers with exultation, they seeing an increased want for sailors to man the vessels. Secretary Furuseth considers that the battle is vir- tually over and in a short time the union wages will be paid all over the coast. “All the steam schooners with the ex- ception of the North Fork,” said he, “have taken our men, and three-fourths of the sailing schooners are paying the wages which we contend are just. The reports coming from the Ship-owners’ Association that the boarding-house keepers were throwing out men who refused to ship for scab wages is untrue, except in the case of one house and the home, and only a few men were sent away from those two places. “The Tam o’ Shanter which arrived sev- eral days ago paid Peter Grant, a runner in Astoria, just before the vessel sailed $12 50 apiece for three men. Upon being paid off here they demanded their money in full. Simpson & Co., the owners, re- fused at first, but when threatened with prosecation by the union paid the whole amount. Callender, the boarding-master, was paid $7 50 apiece for four men by Pope & Talbot for the bark Palmyra. The men were induced to sign the advance by read- ing the Report’s false information that the Secretary of the Treasury had sauthorized a sort of allotment, etc. Their attorney, H. 'W. Hutton, will bring suit if necessary to compel the return of $30 to the four men. “Three seamen on the Oriental and sev- eral on the Two Brothers, which arrived a few days ago from the north, were induced to sign advances, and they will bring suit to compel the return of the money. The ship Elwell paid off in full last Tuesday, notwithstanding John Cane stood by and demanded $10 apiece paid b;’ somebody to somebody else. Secretary Furuseth said: “The yarns told by the secretary of the association regarding the union’s back be- ing broken are nonsensical. We have money to carry on our cause, and we were never in better condition morally and financially. The Coast Scamen’s Union is determined to bring about fair living wazes for the sailor, and break up the crimping business by law. The shipping acts will be upheld in spite of Walthew and his gun- runners. When the association reported that it had won its fight there were twelve vessels lying in the bay unable to get crews, though $30 was oifered.” Two shi re lying in the stream bound for S8ydney via the sound. The vesselsare the Elwell and King Cyrus, and neither has yet secured her entire crew. The own- ers of the King Cyrus asked United States smppin§ Commissioner Gwin to allow the crew to be shipped at the rate of $10 for the first month and $25 for each_month there- after. The owners of the Elwell desired the commissioner to write on the face of the allotment notes ‘‘payable after leaving the sound.” “I refused both these requests,” said Commissioner Gwin, *for I considered that they were evasions of the law. In the case of the King Cyrus it would have been tan- tamount to holding back $15 of tbe men’s wages, and this office could not do that. The owners finally consented to pay $25a month until the vessel was lom?e!, and $20 a month on the trip across the ocean. In the case of the Elwell, had I made the payment of the aliotment notes due when the ship left the sound it would have been aiding in coercing the men to remain on the vessel. “The schooner Uncle John is ’Foing to Seattle and thence to Redondo. The own- ” ers wanted to pag $15 for the first month and $25 for the balance of the voyage. I decided that $25 would have to be the wages for the round trip.” THE FOSS-OIPRICO GANG. Greenwald Will Turn State’s Evidence and Foss Will Probably Confess. Just who will turn State’s evidence in the Chinese certificate counterfeiting cases seems to be a mooted question. At first it was surmised that D. J. Sullivan, being the latest addition to the gang and the man who forged the signatures to the cer- tificates, would be the chosen man. Nowit appears that Mose Greenwald. brother of the smuggler serving a term in 8an Quen- tin, will be the one. He is to be released on bail, and when the case comes to trial he will tell all he knows about the fraud. On good authority it is further stated that H. L. Foss will make a full confession and throw himself upon the mercy of the court. He will tell all he knows about several smuggling operations between here and Hawail, and it is said will implicate several prominent geo le. Looking at the matter this light the case seems bad for T. D. Ciprico, D. J. Sullivan and Max Katzauer, the other members of the crowd. A Doctor and His Rent, George McClosky was plaintiff in a suit be- fore Justice of the Peace Groezinger yesterday sgainst Dr. Gregory Flesher. McClosky owns the premises 819 Lombard street, where the doctor had his offices. The rent was for $30 a month, which was allowed to run unpaid for several months, and when the bill was pre- sented another bill for the doctor’s services was returned to cover it. The testimony on both sides called out a bevy of witnesses, men and women. The court sus the claim for rent for five and a half months, but ¢cut the doctor’s bill down to $75. QUEER STORY OF A WIFE, Leaves Home Before the Ex- pected Birth of a Child. THE HUSBAND IN GRAVE DOUBT. He Has Buried One Infant and Now Has Another Offered Him. One of the most remarkable stories that has ever come to light in San Francisco is partially revealed in the application for divorce brought by Mrs. Laura Cunning- ham against her husband, A. C. Cun- ningham. The complaint recites that the husband is guilty of all sorts of grievous errors, such as non-sugpan, infidelity and cruelty. There is nothing at all unusual in this kind of an averment, for nearly every divorce suit alleges one and some- times all of these shortcomings. The story, however, lies not in the com- monplace everyday divorce proceediugs. born, she worked as a servant for a Mrs. Hungerford of that place. “Finally I told Mrs. Cunningham that I would not have the child about unless evidence was produced that the infant was mine. She went before a notary and swore to the following aftidavit: To whom it may concern: I, Laura Cunning- ham, wife of A. C. Cunningham, both of the City and County of San Francisco, do hereby declare that a certain female cnild born to me on the 3d day of April, 1892, at Alameda, Ala- | meda County, i the true and lawfully begot- | ten issue of my said husband, A. C. Cunning- am. That heretofore and before the birth of our said child, by some unfortunate disagreement, & rupture occurred between my husband and myself wherenpon I left him, and during the time of my absence said child was born. That & certain male child which I represented to m: husband as our child, and which my husban at the time firmly believed to be his offspring, | died at the City and County of San Francisco | on or before the 28d day of June, 1892, and was buried by my husband s his child. That in truth and in reality said male child was not the issue of my husband and myself, but was in all respects a stranger to his blood. The said male child was procured by me from the Golden Gate-avenue Foundling Asylum, situated in the County and City of San Fran- cisco, on the 15th or 16th of June, 1892, Suhscfilbed %re:d slvgggn to before me, this 10th f Decem 92. oL s Gi:g'ms T. KNox, Notary Publie. “The certificate of death of the boy baby,” continued Mr. Cunningham, “shows that the child dled June 22, 1892. AN A, ©. W\ CUNNINGHAM, [From a photograph.] EEFTINAT SRR SR The unusual phases relate to an eight- weeks old male infant, now dead, and in a bright flaxen-haired three- year old girl living. The woman in the case, if the husband and the sworn documents in his possession are to be believed, is a sort of Fedora. The book-writers of the day have nottold anything that is more unexplainable, more crafty, or more selfish; neither have they recited anything more improbable than is the story told by A.C.Cunningham, the defendant in the divorce proceedings. “I met my wife in 1889,” said Mr. Cun- ningham yesterday, “and we were married the same year. She wasa widow at that time and her name was Gibbons. She was born in Middletown, Orange County, New York, about twenty-nine years ago, and her father was a Mr. McCuliough of that place. Judging from the letters I have seen from them, I shounld say they were well-educated and refined people. “One day, in the early part of 1889, there walked into my place of business a youn, woman, quietly though elegantly dressed. That was our first meeting. Inabout six months’ time this lady became my wife. Mrs. Gibbons as she was then called was a divorced woman, and had one child by her former husband. % “‘After our marriage she gave up taking roomers, and we went to live in a house furnished entirely by me. The first few’ months of our married life were as happy as could be desired, though like most young couples we had occasional quarrels, that made us only tne more loving when the differences were adjusted. For several times I was strongly inclined to think that she was not entirely true to me, but as I could never secure tangible evidence, 1 attributed my suspicions to jealousy. “fn the early part of 1892 I began to look forward to the time when our home circle would be increased by the presence of a little stranger. This event was to take lace some time in May of that year. One gny in April I returned home, and an empty house was all that met my gaze. My wife was gone, and what wasmore, she had stripped the house of every article of furniture. I had engaged a doctor to at- tend my wife during her illness and also a woman to do the general work, but of course their services were not needed since the object of their care was gone. “Ivainly endeayored to find out where my wife was, but it was not until about June 1 that I could find the least trace of her. A gentleman came to me and stated that my wife had written to him announc- ing the birth of a child, and a few days after this I met her at this friend’s house and she told me I'would have to put up $100 to see my own child. Idon’t know why Idid it, but I took her back though I1did not pay that $100, and in a few days she told me’ that the boy was at a found- ling asylum on Golden Gate avenue. Igot the little fellow, then only a few weeks old, and immediately called in Dr. James, as the baby had been poorly cared for and was very ill. The boy finally died, though the mother insisted that 1 should get a priest, that he might have the christening service read over him before the end came. The manifestations of aei by the mother were something awful to witness. During the boy’s last illness she nursed him ten- derly,” and when the end came she ap- peared absolutely heart-broken. On sev- eral occasions she went to the cemetery and put flowers on the grave, each time evidencing the most poignant sorrow. “About four months ago my wife startled me with the information that the dead child was not my own, but that our real child was staying with a friend. I flatly refused to credit this story, because she could not produce a certificate of birth, neither would she tell me where the child was born. The child—a girl this time— was brought to the house, and, though I never for one moment considered her mine, Idid all any father could do for an innocent infant. “‘One night she told that the child was born in Sausalito, and in a quiet way I searched the records of Marin County, and consulted every doctor and midwife there, but could find no record of its birth. I did learn, however, that after she left me, and a month before the child was Later my wife and I separated again, and she then had me arrested by the Humane Society for failure to provide for my off- spring. In the meantime I had secured the following certificate, which practically killed her own affidavit, and on the | strength of which the case against me was dismissed : BoARrD OF HEALTH, ALAMEDA, Sept. 20, 1893. Mr. A. C. Cunningham, San Francisco—DEAR SIR: T hereby certiiy thatit does not appear from the register of births in the city of Ala- meda, kept in the health office of this city, that a child was born in this city in the year 1892 {0 parents named Cunningham. JNo. T. MCLEAN, 5L.D., Board of Health. “In spite of all this I took my wife away from the hospital, where she had been for several weeks, as the result of an alleged cable-car accident. She brought suit against the company for damages and I became a party to it. Later I became convinced that she was feigning iniury, and I withdrew from the suit and also” left her. I have nothing to say about her application for a divorce, though I think the evidence in my possession is sufficient to offset any claim she can put forward. “She is a remarkable woman in many respects, and for the life of me I cannot understand her queer actions. Of course I do not know whether or not I am the father of this last child, and it is equally hard for me to believe that the first child was mine. One thing is certain, I will not accept the girl as my child unless the birth certificate 1s produced.” The divorce case will be watched with interest. Cunningham isan engineer by occupation. TO HELP THE HELPLESS. Two Entertainments by the Ladies’ Protection and Relief So- clety. On the evenings of May 23 and 24 the Ladies’ Protection and Relief Society will give musical and spectacular entertain- ments at the California Theater which promise to be somewhat novel in charac- ter. Itisunderstood thatover 100 of the leading musical artists of the City will take part in the play, which is entitled “The Artist’s Dream.” A romantic and tragic story is to be told in three acts, the story being a novel and startling adaptation of ‘‘Genevieve,” but appearing in so different a guise as to merit a new title. MRS. JOHN MARTIN GOES EAST. Her Costumes for the New Play Are to ‘be Paris Made. Mrs. John Martin has about completed negotiations with Messrs. Friedlander and Gottlob to produce her play, “Blood Relatives,” at the Columbian Theater within a few months. The lady goes to New York next week and will proceed from there to Paris to get her costumes for the new drama. On her return to New York she will place herselt under the tuition of Professor Sargent, who is fore- most among the dramatic teachers of the country. The play will be mafiniflcently staged. Mr. John A. Stanton will sketch “the n of the scenery for the scenic low, and some stlr[-linimec nical effects will be introduced in the third act. Mr. Stockwell, who will probably take one of the parts, will manage the stage. Baby John’s costumes, for the Parisian artists, will not be the most insignificant part of the outfit. e New House-Decorating Firm, The company of Harrold, Belcher & Allen has been incorporated to decorate houses, ete.

SOME SMALL SENSATIONS. Much Wrangling In the Loomis~ Somers Case Yesterday Be~ tween Attorneys. There were several small sensations pro- duced in the Loomis, Treadwell and Som- ers case in Judge Daingerfield’s court yes- terday. Among a number of others the most damaging to the defense of the case was in the testimony of Fisher Ames, who was employed by Mrs. Treadwell and Somers in assisting the District Attorney in the prosecution of Loomis at the time he was tried for shooting McClintock in 1885. Mr. Ames was asked about the nature of a conversation known to have taken place between Chris Buckley, the ex-Democratic boss, and Somers in the Reception saloon on Sutter street, prior to the time Loomis was tried on the charge of assault to mur- der. The attorney for the defense raised a storm of objections to the question, but the court overriled them. Ames said that as nearly as he could re- member the conversation to which he was a witness was to the effect that Somers told Buckley that he wanted to get rid of Loomis, and asked Buckley to suggest some way to force him out of the State. Buckley had replied that it would be im- ossible for him to accommodate him, as Ee was not engaged in that business at that time. This concluded the Buckley relation to the present case. The counsel for the plaintiff then ques- tioned Mr. Ames in regard to the nature of the relation which existed between him- self and Mrs. Treadwell in the prosecution of Loomis for assault to_murder in 1885 and then asked him if Mrs. Somers had ever been present during any conversation between his client and himself, and if she took an active part in regard to the case then in issue. The witness said that she had been pres- ent upon a number of occasions. He could not exactly remember as to the lace, but that it was either in his office or n Mrs. Treadwell’s apartments in the Russ House. 2 Attorney Mhoon then questioned him as to the nature of the conversation which took place between them. The defense again objected, smtinF that there was a bar in the statute to all such testimony on account of its being a confi- dential communication between the attor- and client. 'his led to considerable sparring between the attorneys, and the objection was again overruled on the ground that Mrs. Somers and Mrs. Treadwell were both present at these consultations and that fact techni- cally removed the bar. Ames gave the statements of Mrs. Tread- well as nearly as he could remember what she had communicated to him about send- ing Loomis to prison. She had said: “Mr. Ames, how long will it be before you land Loomis in San Quentin ?” Mr. Ames bad answered that it would be before vacation at the outside. Mrs. Treadwell then continued : “When you succeed we will have a picnic and go and see how he looks in stripes.” Then Ames wanted to know if he was included in the picnic and Mrs. Treadwell bad answered: “If you hurry up and convict him we will honor you with an invitation.” The paper which was written by Mr. and Mrs. Somers at the time that Loomis shot McClintock, exonerating him as act- ing in self-defense, was offered in evidence by the plaintift’s attorneys. The defense again objected to certain parts of it, inclu in% all of the document with the exception of certain parts which had been signed by Somers himself, and excluding the clause in the article which had been signed by Mrs. Somers, upon the round that the wife is not compelled to estify against her husband. This objec- tion was sustained by the court. Prior to the tiuie of Loomis’ trial on the charge of shooting McClintock, a photo- grup?l of Mrs. Treadwell’s apartments in the Russ House was taken at the request of Mr. Ames, for the purpose of more ac- curately ascertaining the positions of the parties to the affray for the use of the prosecution. Mr. Mhoon asked that Mr. Ames be allowed to produce the victure and explain to the court the circumstances under which it was taken. This move was subjected to another ob- jection, but after a spirited skirmish be- ween the opposing attorneys, the plaintiff won the point and Ames was ordered to produce the picture in court. Mr. Ames then contended that he had been unable to find it, but would continue his search for it until the next meeting of the court. The testimony of Somers at the trial of Loomis in the criminal court was read, but under difficulties, as it was met with a vol- ley of objections by the attorney for the defense, many of which hit the mark and headed off a considerable portion of the evidence. The case will be continued next Monday and the intervening time will give the at- torney for the defense an opportunity to reload his Gatling gun with objections and motions of exception. THE COMPETITVE DRILL, League of the Cross Cadets to Battle for Honors To-Night. Church Dignitaries and Army Offl- cers Will Witness the Display. Final arrangements have been made for the grand concert and competitive drill to be held this evening at the Mechanics’ Pavilion under the auspices of the League of the Cross Cadets. The members are highly enthusiastic over the affair and look forward to the event as one of the-greatest that has ever taken place in Catholic and military circles in this City. The attendance is expected to be large. The exercises will be novel, interesting and exciting. The programme will commence at 7:30 sharp with a concert by the Fifth Ar- tillery U. 8. A. band of twenty-five pieces, under the leadership of Professor Frederick | Frank, U. 8. A. This concert, which will continue until 8:30, will be followed by a rand review, in which the entire uni- }ormed companies of the r:tziment will participate, numbering in all about 350 members. The review will be tendered in honor of Colonel William P. Sullivan Jr. of the First Infantry Regiment, N. G. C. who has been instrumental in bringing the League of the Cross Cadets up to its present efficient standing. An exhibition saber drill by Corapany A will follow the review, under the command %fSer eant ;J.‘homfiass ‘Furman of Troop C, ‘ourth Ca , U. 8. The col ‘fe{xyfive drill, the event of the evening, will _come next, in which four of the companies will participate. The drill will be for the ‘“Montgomery trophy,” a $500. handsome gold affair, valued at over The companies to compete wili be: Company A of the Cathedral parish, Cap- tain nk 8. Drady commanding; Com- pany B of St. Charles parish, Captain Thomas J. Kennedy commanding; Com- Py C of St. Pafrick’s parish, Captain dward P. Fitzgerald commanding, and Company G _of St. Bridget’s parish, Cap- tain James R. Kentzel commanding. This contest will probably be one of the most exciting and interesting that has ever oc- curred in San Francisco. The companies are evenly matcned, the rivalry is intense among them and parish lines and other considerations will tend to make the drill worth witnessing. The judges selected to decide the contest are: Major Charles Jensen, First Infentry Regiment, N. G.C.; Captgin Thomas Cun- ningham, Second Artillery Regiment, N. G. C..and Captain Frank W. Warren of the Third Iniantry Regiment, N. G. C. A grand dress parade and review, fo be re- ceived by Colonel William C. Mahoney of the L. C. C., will follow the drill, after which will come an individual competitive drill, open to all members of the regiment, for a handsome gold medal. The award- ing of both trophies will probably be made by Archbishop Riordan at the close of the exercises. Besides the staff of the First Regiment the field and staff of the Third Regi- ment will be present in full uniform. Archbishop Riordan, Father Prendergast, V. @., Rev. P.C. Yorke, D.D., Chancellor of the Archdiocese of San Francisco, and many others of the clergy of San Francisco will attend. A pleasing feature will be the presence in full uniform’ of the entire field, staff and line officers of the Boys’ Brigade of Ban Franeisco, who will act as escort to their ?tace commander, Dr. Ledyard of San ose. The Fife and Drum Corps of the First Infantry have volunteered their services and will be present in full uniform. Be- sides very many of the fraternal, social and military organizations of this city have signified their intention of attending, so that the cadets are justified in their ex- pectations of having the largest crowd that ever assembled in the Mechanics’ Pavilion. At a meeting of the board of officers held last evening a resolution thanking the press of San Francisco for its many kindly notices, particularly the CaLr, was adopted. - OONFIDENCE MISPLACED. Adolph Jahn Wanted on a Charge of Embezzlement. A. F. Case, a newspaper canvasser of Sacramento, appeared in Judge Joachim- sen’s court yesterday morning and swore out a warrant for the arrest of Adolph Jahn on the charge of embezzlement as a bailee. Case stated that Jahn obtained a con- tract to execute the decorations in con- nection with the Grand Army celebration of Sacramento County. The contract price was $1200. Jahn called upon Case and told him tbhat he was hard up, and unless he %ct $300 he would lose the contract. If ase would oblige him he would pay him interest and would refund the money as soon as he received the $1200. Jahn got the $300 and came to this city. Since then Case has not heard from him, and he has been unable to find any trace of his where- abouts. s Salvatign Army Home for Girls. The Salvation Army’s Beuleh Home for Girls heldits third annusl exhibition of the work done by its inmates and tendered a reception to friends of the cause on Wednesday. Articles of the following descriptions were displayed: Tissue paper artificial flowers, lamp shades, handkerchief cases, photograph holders, pic- ture frames and ornaments for chandeliers paintings for house decoration on pottery and tidies and bric-a-brae of all sorts, also & great variety of fancy and plain needle-work. An elaborate lunch was set for the guests at noon. The exhibition was superintended by Captain Mollie A. Wagner. Owing to the rain there was not the looked-for attendance, an in order to realize the usual returns it was de- cided to open a booth st the army’s camp- meeting, which opens at Bushwood Park June 16, for the sale of the year's work. BLOOD EXAMINATIONS, You Can Tell Whether Your Blood Is in Good or Bad Condition. MAKE THE TEST YOURSELF. The Doctor Tells You How to Learn Whether Your Blood Is Thin and Watery, Thick and Sluggish or Just in Proper Condition. Red blood, rich and healtny, flows in the veins and arteries of the man or woman who is in good physical health. Justas soon as your blood becomes thin and watery just so soon do seeds of disease begin to be planted. You can tell when your blood is becoming thin and watery by the pimples on your face, Dby loss of weight, your being so easily chilled, and then come feelings of exhaustion, weary feelings. In this state you need a blood purifier, and you can get no better blood purifier than the popular household remedy, JOY’S VEGETABLE SARSAPARILLA. You may use itin modera- tion, you may use it for any one member of the family. Good, only good, follows the use of JOY’S VEGETABLE SARSAPARILLA. When your blood is thick and sluggish you ‘become morose, melancholy and languishing; you don’t feel like rising in the morning; you have a coated tongue and bad digestion. When this state of affairs exists you need s liver regulator, which is only another way of saying you need Joy's Vegetable Sarsaparilla. If you be satisfied to take a pimple-producing corrosive, poisonous, mercurial, potash sub- stitute you may do so, but if you want to geta high-class blood-purifier, made up of the vege- table juices of California herbs, you will have to buy the reliable JOY’S VEGETABLE SARSA- PARILLA. JOY’S VEGETABLE SARSAPARILLA has been highly indorsed. You can pick up an indorser on the streetcars, in the waiting- rooms, in the shop, at the theaters—any place; ask your next-door neighbor, your best friend; study before you go to a druggist, and when you have reached the conclusion get JOY’S VEGETABLE SARSAPARILLA, Honestly permitno dishonest clerk or druggist to palm off that which is not JOY'S VEGETABLE SARSAPARILLA, QUITE ANOTHER THING. ‘Wherein a Common Cold Is Worse Than the Contagions We Dread. A man once over typhoid or scarlet fever hag the consolation of knowing that the chances are against a recurrence of the attack. It's different with the common nuisance we call catching cold: one fit of coughing, snifling and sneezing is mo guarantee against another, One may have indefinite colds unless he takes proper precautions, and each attack leaves him a little weaker than he was before. What, then, is the safeguard against cold at this fickle and treacherous time of year? Sci- ence and common-sense reply: Duffy’s Pure Malt Whiskey. Why? Because it warms and strengthens. It retards the decay of tissue, in- creases the power to assimilate food and over- come weariness of the nerves. It stirs the energies of the body, 5o that cold can no more getahold than a horse with dull shoes can get a firm footing on ice. No matter what the almanac says about spring. It is the season of colds because a few suniit hours tempt even prudent people to be reckless about their health. Keep the counsel just given in your memory, and keep a bottle of Duffy’s Pure Malt Whiskey on the shelf where you can get it when a little shiver or & tickling cough warns you that colds are lurke ing in the “spring” air.
