He was conveying a prisoner to Fruitvale, when the horse he Was driving_became frightened at Eigh- teenth and San Pablo and dashed down the latter thoroughfare to Broadway and thence to Ninth street, where the buggy ‘was overturned. Mr. Dutton was thrown out and sus- tained fractures of several ribs as well as minor injuries. He was taken to his home and attended by a physician, who pro- nounced his injuries serious. The pris- oner, Henry Van Patten, was returned to the County Jail. Mr. Dutton has been very unfortunate lately, having lost his wife in a very sad manner a few weeks ago. She went to Southern California to visit relatives and while there sustained an accident which brought on blood poisoning and caused her death, Africans Consolidate.

They are: Charles McCleverty, F.B. Woodhouse, J. L. Champlin, F.J.Edwards, 8. P. Tate, J.J. Scrivner, J. W. Laymance, A. P. Hol- land and R. R. Grayson.

B, Wood- bouse secretary. Did Not Pay the Bill. Dr. Alfred Sander, Gustus Howard end his wife, Deorena Howard of Alameda were arraigned in the Police Court yester- day on charges of grand larceny preferred by George E. Randolf, foreman of the Oak- land Iron Works. Howard is the inventor of an air motor and took some of his work to the foundry, agreeing to pay $58 for the service, Sander, who poses as his backer, called A with him at the foundry a few days ago and asked to see what was being done with the motor. Randolf alleges that while his back was turned the men carried the ma- chine out to a buggy, in which Mrs. How- ard was seated and that she immediately drove away with it. The foreman claims that the bill of the iron works is a lien on the machine and that the trio were committing a larceny in carrying it away before a settlement of the indebtedness was made. The preliminary examination will be held this morning. The Saloon Ordinance. The hope of the ¢ neil for the suppres- sion of the saloor. :uat the City Council would finally pass the Sunday-closing ordinance was dashed last evening by Councilman Mott, who presented the fol- lowing resolution at the opening of the session: Resolved, That the City Attorney be and is hereby directed to prepare an ordinance call- ing a special election for the purpose of sub- mitting the following questions to a vote of the people: First, shall saloons furnishing liguors 10 be drunk on the premises be closed up en- tirely? Secona,shall saloons beclosed from 12 o'clock Saturday night until 5 o'clock Monday morning? This measure was opposed by Council- men Dowe and Towle, who thought that the ordinance provided for by the resolu- tion coutd not be legaily drawn, and that the amended ordinance calling for the closing of saloons from 12 o’clock Saturday night to 5 o’clock Monday morning should be passed. The vote resulted in favor of Councilman Mott’s resolution and City Attorney Piersol was instructed to prepare the ordinance, if it could be done legally, and if not to so report to the Council at the next meeting. When the amended or- dinance came up it was referred back to the Ordinance and Judiciary Committee, which shelves it for the present. E. L. G. Steele’s Estate. The appraisers of the estate of the late E. L. G. Steele filed their report with Judge Frick yesterday, showing that the rgé)— erty left by the deceased is worth ?x 0293L. One of the main items in the in- ventory develops the fact that Mr. Steele was a backer of Mrs. Florence Blythe- Hinckley in her contest for her father’s millions. An entry in the inventory reads: Con- tract with Florence Blythe concerning loans and advances made to her and com- pensation therefor, $45,000. The rest of the properti consists of real estate, shares in mines, hotel companies and other securi- ties, worth nearly $100,000. One of the largest items is a one-half interest in the firm of E. L. G. Steele & Co. of San Fran- cisco, valued at $37,774 67. The Ysaye Concert. M. Ysaye, violinist, will give a second concert at the Macdonough Theater Thurs- day evening, assisted by M. Lachaume, vianist, and Mrs. Lena Carroll Nicholson, contralto, The programme will be of popu- lar classics, including the Kreutzer sonata and the Saint-Saens concerto in B minor. ALAMEDA. A communication from the president of the Alameda and Oakland Electric Rail- way was read before the Board of City Trustees last evening to the effect that in constructing its line on San Jose avenue he employed all the available teams in Alameda, but could not secure a sufficient number, and in order to push the work and not keep the streets blocked longer than necessary he was compelled to go outside and employ thirty-four teams. Marshall Rogers promptly called upon Mr. Rank for licenses, which were paid and which he asked to be remitted in full. In a Heavy Storm. Captain H. H. Todd, J. F. Woodrum, Al Whyte, E. Dean and William Whitey went on a cruise up the bay SBaturday evening in the yacht Little Annie. = When they reached San Pablo Bay a wind and rain storm struck the yacht, extinguishing all the lights. For two hours they were in utter darkness and had a most thrilling experfence. The rain fell in sheets. The arty finally made a safe landing at Vallejo. School Buildings Inspected. President of the Board of Education Tis- dale and Directors Brown, Bryan and Lanktree have inspected the Porter and ‘West End school buildings, and express themselves as well pleased with the work on those structures. It hasalso been de- cided to place the flagpole on the south- east gable and the rustic in the basement of the Encinal School. Korean Bible Student. The Woman’s Foreign Missionary So- ciety connected with the First Methodist Church held a dime social last evening at the residence of Colonei P.T. Dickinson on Willow street. The proceeds will be used for the support of the Korean girl whom the society is endeavoring to edu- cate as a Bible-reader among the people of her native land. BERKELEY.

WORTHLESS WAR BONDS. Coupons Yssued in 1851 Are Barred by the Statute of Limitation. All outstanding coupons of the Indian war bonds of 1851 are worthless, and holders of them cannot now collect their money. Attorney - General Fitzgerald holds that they are barred by the statute of limitation. Many thousands of dollars worth of these coupons are outstanding, none of which will be paid. During the past month or so quitea number of these coupons were presented to State Controller Coigan. He submitted the point to the Attorney-General, and he has given it as his opinion that the statute of limitation began to run against the bonds in 1890, and that they are also verned by the provisionsof the act of fis,s, ‘which required all claims against the State to be presented within two years. This has not n done, and the Controller, acting under the advice of the Attorney- General, will refuse to pay the coupons.

WOMANLY WOMEN, MANLY MEN Miss Anthony, Miss Shaw, Mrs. Cooper, Mrs. Richardson and Dr. Hirst Honored. Maple Hall of the Palace Hotel was the scene of a banquet last evening at which the Unitarian Club did honors to Miss Susan B. Anthony, Rev. Anna Howard Shaw, M Abby Sage Richardson, Mrs. Sarah B. Cooper and Rev. A. C. Hirst. D.D. The floral decorations were worthy of California’s world-famed flora and the ar- rangement of the same a triumph of the taste and ingenuity of Miss Bates. There was a wealth of sweet peas of every shade in rich masses and ferns trailed gracefully over the damask. A large laurel wreath was fastened ahove and at the back of the chair occupied by Miss Anthony. Behind and above this a rope of roses was grace- fully festooned. The 170 guests took their seats at the banqueting board shortly after 6 o’clock. the guests of honor and some of the distinguished persons present sitting at the table at the upper end of the hall, the others being placed at the three tables at right angles toit. Miss Anthony occupied the seat of honor. At her right was Rev. Horatio Stebbins, D.D., on her left C. A. Murdock, president of the club. Seated nedr them were Miss Shaw, Mrs. Sarah B. Cooper, N Cooper, Rev. Ada Bowles, Mrs. Steb- bins, Mrs. Van Pelt, Rev. C. A. Hirst, Mr. ‘Warren Olney, Mr. Eli T. Sheppard and Mr. Sargent. Others among those seen about the festal board were Mr. and Mrs. 8. C. Bigelow, Mrs. Winsor Brown, Mr. and = Mrs. George H. Buck- ingham, Mr. and Mrs. Loveli White, Mrs. Austin Sperry, Miss Sg:rry. George Beaver, ss Beaver, Mr. and Mrs. B.C. Honghton, Mr. and Mrs. J. D. Low, Mr. and Mrs. E. C. Wright, W. E. Brown, Major Frank McClelland, Charles Webb Howard, Mr. and Mrs. A. 8. Hallidie, Mrs. Horace Wil- son, T. B. Church, Mr. and Mrs. McMullen, Mr. and Mrs. Hooper, John Peery Jr., Rev. Mr. Wendte, Mr. and Mrs. Knox, Mr. and Mrs. Charles Fisher, Mr, and Mrs. Arthur Brown, Mr. and Mrs. Bun- nell, Mr. and Mrs. Moody, Mr. Clement, Mr. Denman, Henry Swain, Mr. Eels, Mr. and Mrs. Frank Bailey, Mr. and Mrs. Bowen, Rev. and Mrs. Sprague, Mr. Spin- iey. The Century Club was represented by some of its members. The menus were tasteful, containing a bali-dozen appropriate quotations, one of which, following the name of Miss An- thony, was: ‘‘Her valiant courage and un- daunted spirit more than in woman com- monly is seen,” and that made to refer to Miss Shaw: “Upon her wit doth earthly honor wait, and virtue stoops and trembles at her frown.” There was an interchange of wit and wisdom during the discussion of the choice menu: California oysters on the half-shell; green-turtle clear, English style; assorted side dishes; paupiette of sole a la Ital- ienne; potatoes gastronome; hame glace; Cumberland iried chicken, Maryland style; orange punch; quarter of spring lamb: Roman salad; new string beans, princess style; fancy icecream; cakes; dessert; coffee. At 9 o’clock Mr. Murdock rose and made a neat after-dinner speech, saying: “The Unitarian Club is composed of 175 mem- bers, that number being the limit. Some- times we allow our ministers to joinus, and even permit them to speak. We exclude the ladies, not because we think them un- worthy but for convenience. In fact the prosperity of the Unitarian Ladies’ Club indirectly led to the organization of this. Once a year we invite them to feast with us and then our cup of joy is full, asit is = to-night. The town has been in a greater state of excitement the past week than I have ever known it to be before, except, possibly, during the sandlot riots. [Laughter.] We are glad to have the honor of entertaining the cause of that excitement. It was nof designed to slight the ladies by reversing the usnal order of the programme. We let them speak last because we know how dear to them is the precious ‘last word.’ I take pleasure in calling on one known alike for courage and courtesy, Rev. A. C. Hirst, who wifi speak of ‘The Rights ahd Privileges of Women.” ” Dr. Hirst said: “The beauty and frag- rance of the Hlowers and the pleasure of this hour not only emphasize the social spirit of the evening, but the close of the \8omnn's Congress. I have been thinking a little historically about the passing of the world into the light. As that triumphant, beautiful dawn of the world’s %’ atness came on apace we see Chaucer, Raphael, Galileo and Copernicus symbolizing the great new progress of that era. “Passing on we see the spirit of liberty unfolding in that message of the American colonies to King George of England. And now we see woman coming to claim her victories. In the light of this new era we see familiar faces—Lucretia Mott, Susan B. Anthony, Frances Willard and Sarah B. Cooper. And now_ we believe as Miss Willard says, ‘motherhood will be none the less and fatherhood much more,’ and we believe the potency of consecrated motherhood will be more and more recog- nized. Woman is coming to claim what is rifmfully hers. There are those who ask what more woman wants than she has? She wants what she should have—theright of the ballot, the right of representation. The men who represent the enriching and uplifting element in the world’s advance- ment do not grudge to women the rights thfiv ask.”” . Murdock said he never used words be considered so su‘rerfluons as those in which he introduced one of the best-known women 1n the world, Susan B. Anthony, who would talk about the rights and privi: leges of man. Loud and fon;: applause greeted Miss Anthony. She said sYle was a little in doubt as to what she should say tothe men’s club. ‘‘A man has rights he too has a right to demand. He has a right to be well gborn, and that means to have a good mother as well as a good father. Ashe grows older he has a right to have a good sister. Later on he has a right to a girl friend, one who is_ his eer, not a being to whom he needs to step down to a lower plane in order to be entertain- ing. He hasa right to a good wife, a real companion. Now, I suppose you want to know how to secure those rights. [Laugh- ter.] You voters of California are now in a position to give yourselves these rights by giving them to others. Women ask to be accorded the right of choice, the right to the development that comes with the ex- ercise of the right of franchise.” She spoke of the men who had identified them- selves with the woman-suffrage move- ment, paying a high tribute to William Channing and Starr King. “I hope the Unitarian men will do their duty. If they don’t the orthodox men will get ahead of them.”* [Imuihter.] Mr. Murdock said: *1f knowledge comes of love and love comes from service then no one is better fitted to talk of both men and women than Dr. Stebbins, who needs no introduction to San Franciscans.” [Ap- plause, Dr, Stebbins said: “The theme which you have suggested implies that there is practically an incompleteness in the de- velopment of human nature, and then even asa man may not be manly, so a woman may not be womanly. I'entertain no comparison between® men and women; there is no superior or inferior, but a dif- ference. : “There are some things on which dis- cussion does not throw much light. They are seen or felt, as the flash on the mid- night cloud or as the genial air on the landscave. z “What is the womanly? Will you men of sense answer? Will the mathematician tell me? Will political economists say? Will lawyers gecide? Will rl])Olif\cians guess? Guess, decide, say, tell, answer, ye who will. _Can you do better than give a negative and say that as there are men who are honest but not honorable, so there are women who are sensible but without sensibility ? “Wherewithal, then, shall T describe it, since the politician cannot guess it, the lawyer does not know it, the economist does not find it, the mathematician says it is not with him, and the man of sense gives no reply? Shall I illustrate it by striking antithesis and flash on the can- vas the likeness of Adelina Pattiand Jenny Lind, or shall I contrast Solomon’s thrifty housekeeper getting breakfast by candle- light with Wordsworth’s sister, of whom he says: She gave me eyes, she gave me ears, And humble cares and delicate fears, Aheart, the fountain of sweet tears, ‘And 16ve and thought and joy. “There are things that need nodiscussion, they are felt and seen, as we recognize the lightning that flashes across the clouds. What do you mean by womanly? Will the politician, the mathematieian, the prac- ticurman answer? Butall say it is none of mine. Shall I answer by the strong light of antivhesis? And what shall I say now? The womanly is that mygt,er? o presence and personality that “ideali: 14 t izes common life, changes water into wine, fills the room _with light like the lily in Abou Ben Adhem’s dream, and saves us from the impertinent despotism of the understanding, which claims that the narrowing intellect is higher than the imagination, that sci- ence is superior to art, and good greater than beauty. The womanly is essentially and eternally poetic, sees truth rather than climbs to it, and sets the pattern for- ever in the mount, sings to all worlds, and the world sends back the song, ‘Ever the womanly leadeth us on.””’ In a brief appropriate address Mr. Mur- dock introduced; Miss Shaw, who was to talk of “The Manly Man.” ; “The manly man,” she said, ‘is not merely good. " He is good for something. The greatest and best men have been brave, tender and lovinf. “They have a union of the best attributes known as manly and womanly. Im- morality is not characteristic of the manly man. He is strong, so commanding that he can strike a villain dumb by one glance, and yet so tender that he can win tfie love of a timid child or the trust of a woman. But manliness is not a mere possibility, it is a reality and exists now. We haye those manfy men beside us often, and now is the time when the women of California are calling upon the men, and see how many are manly? And when the wires flash the news of the election East we shall know the member. 1 would rather be a free lost soul than be compelled to go to heaven against my will. Now, wbfie I am not here to promise, we’ll be ood and wise when you grant us the bal- Fut, and I will say that the womanly woman will be found close to the manly man.”” Mr. Murdock called upon Mrs. Wilkes, Rev. Ada Bowles, Mrs. Sarah B. Cooper and Mr. Wendte, all of whom responded with appropriate addresses. After a few farewell words, and wishes that all might meet again about the festal board on the next “woman’s night’’ at the Unitarian Club, from the president, the guests departed at 11 o’clock. NEARING THECTY RO, Club 3 of the Folsom Im- provement Association Organized. Encouraging Reports of the Plan to Bitumlnize the Street to the Wharves. Club 3 of the South Side or Folsom- street Improvement Association was or- ganized last evening at 813 Folsom street. The temporary officers elected were: Leon Samuel, chairman; John F. Hannon, secre- tary; P. A. McDonnough, vice-chairman; Joseph Sophey, treasurer. Chairman Samuel explained that the purpose of or- ganization was to co-operate with the other clubs of the Folsom-street Improve- ment Association in the project of making Folsom street a fine boulevard, with a bitumen pavement from Sixth to Third street and from there on to the water front. Upon the suggestion of J. J. McEwen the chairman appointed as a committee Messrs. Hannon, McEwen and Sophey, to be a part of an executive committee, the others to be appointed by the several clubs in the association. J. Day stated that all of the property-ownerson the street should put their shoulders to the wheel and do all in their power to see that the projected work 1s carried out. In a short time roperty-owners on many other thorough- ?ums would be demanding similar im- rovements, and Folsom street would be eft in the race if the interest were per- mitted to flag. A. B. Maguire told of the good work done ai the forther end of the street, and of the efforts of Club 2 further down. He sug- gested the advisability of decreasing the width of the sidewalks from nineteen feet to fourteen or fifteen feet. In speaking of the paving, Mr. Maguire said that under the new law it will cost more to put down basalt blocks than bitumen, the difference being in the cost of the foundations. He said the railroad peovle bad promised to bituminize between rails from Nineteenth street to Army, and he had no doubt the same would be done to the water front if the request was made. Mr. Maguire, in speaking of lighting the street, stated that from Nineteenth street out there were seven electric lights that_take the place of forty gas lamps, at a saving of $27 a month. He advised that electric lights be placed the entire distance if the Supervisors conld be induced to make such an improvement under their lighting contracts. Captain Raabe made an enthusiastic ad- dress concerning the improvement in the Mission, and stated that wheelmen from all parts of the City repair nightly to the bitum inized pavements on the further end of Folsom street to enjoy themselves gon their wheels. He said the prospects of baving a modern pavement the entire length of the street were very encouraging. Joseph Kelly, presidentof club 2, prophe- sied that Folsom street would soon become a business as well as a residence street if the projected work was accomplished. The trouble is that the property-owners do not seem to be alive to the situation, and the outsiders show more interest than those directly concerned. F. W. McEwen suggested that the offi- cers of the club call personally upon all of the property-owners in the district and draw them into line. Get them to sign a petition for the improvement if they would not attend the meeting. A vote ot thanks was extended to the wheelmen of the City for their assistance at the recent demonstration in the Mission, A similar resolution was passed thanking the Street Committee of the Supervisors {or their recommendation of $80,000 appro- priation. 4 Chairman Samuel appointed P. A. Mec- Donald, P. Heyfron and F. W. McEwen a committee to organize club 4 for the district from Third street to the water front. Mr. Heyfron said that he believed the railroad would favor a wider street and would gladly remove their electric poles back to the edge of a decreased sidew: as it would give the feams more room in the street, thus lessening the cost of rails in‘;red bi truck wheels. hen the club adjourned it was to meet next Monday evening at 572 Folsom street and organize club 4. ———————— TrE unequaled strength of the Royal, as certified by the highest baking-powder au- thorities, makes it the cheapest to use, even at a higher price than others, 'NOTES FROMTHE POTRERD Two Siberian Contracts Are Secured by the Union Iron Works. BARGES FOR THE AMOOR RIVER. An Order From Governor Teres- chenka for a Stern-Wheel Steamer. Two contracts have recently been se- cured by the Union Iron Works which may cause this community to turn itseyes westward and take a prospect of possible Asiatic developments, and they may be taken as a forerunner of what is yet to come. The fact that they are ordersfrom Asiatic Russia makesthem of particular interest. As is well known, the Russian Govern- ment is building a railroad across Asia to the Pacific Ocean—the trans-8iberian, which is to be the longest in the world. The terminus of the railroad is to be Vladivostock, which is the best that can be obtained at present, owing to its being the southernmost point and therefore the most favored in climate. One of the effects of the railroad is the coming into existence of the Amoor River Company, which has started out to take advantage of the opportunity presented in navigation by the river it takes its name from. s Some time ago this company solicited bids from all the large iron works of the world for twenty-three steel barges, each of 500 tons carrying capacity. Out of that number the Union iron Works got the contract for eleven. A. He{imum (an Eng- lish firm) secured nine and a Glasgow es- tablishment three. 3 Following right upon the heels of this contract another order was placed by Gov- ernor Alexander Tereschenka for a stern- wheel steamer, which is to run on the Upper Amoor. Governor Tereschenka’s dominion extends over a territory 1500 miles in length. The dimensions of this craft are to be 180 feet long, with 30 feet beam. It will be built in sections and con- veyed to its destination in that shape. The bases for the two mammoth hoist- ing engines which the Union Iron Works commenced to build about three weeks ago for the Anaconda mine, in Montana, are phenomenal in size. Their dimensions are 87x30 feet square and 30 feet high. The engines will be vertical compound, con- nected direct, and are to be fitted with Corliss gear‘mfi. Most of the patterns are made, and the castings are now under way. The Pacific Rolling-miils is fast getting out the seventy-pound ‘‘side-bearing rails for the Market-street Railway Com- pany for the Sixteentn-street system and the relaying of the Market-street tracks. The CaLyL takes the following terse items from the Potrero column of the South San Francisco and Mission Mail: Southern Heights is buildin& ) L. Bender will erect a $1500 mont street, near Sierra. Charles MelIntosh is building & cottage on Wisconsin street, near Napa. ] Mr. Rinsley is having his residence on Wis- consin street repainted. Division No. 9, A. O. H., will picnic next Thursday at Harbor View. James Glackin is building an addition to the building on the corner of Napa and Missouri streets. § It is reported that a woodenware factory will be started in the Potrero by a large Eastern firm. D. J. Ellis has drawn plans for a $1363 resi- dence, which is to be erected at 102 Mississippi street. The D. M. Ray Company has been granted sixty daye’ ime in which to complete the grad- ing of Army street, irom Pennsylvania to Ken- tucky. A grand entertainment and ball will be given under the auspices of the St. Teresa’s Hall As- sociation at Potrero Opera-house, Wednesday evening, July 3.

ONLY FELL TWD STOES The Man With the Eight-Story Record Retracts Just a Little. rapldly. ouse on Ver- But He Gets a Verdict for a Two~ Story Fall Just the Same. Michael O’Donnell, a bod-carrier, was be- fore Justice of the Peace Groezinger yes- terday with his complaint against Abraham Newmark, a contractor, from whom he sought to recover damages suffered by him because of the careless manner in which the ladder which he was required to climb in fulfilling his duties at the building of a house on IHayes street was kept. On the stand the plaintiff told his story in characteristic style. The complaint as first made out set forth that he had fallen eight stories, he and his hod, and had broken or sprained his ankle, but before the case was opened the complaint was changed, making it appear that he fell only two stories, which in all reason is enough for a first adventure of the kind. From the plaintiff’s story on the stand it appears that the man doing the plumbing work had dug a hole near the foot of the ladder and when he (O’Donnell) was near the top with a hod full of mortar on his shoulder the ladder slipped in to the hole and jarred him loose, so that with his hod full of mortar he fell. Fortunately, a great heap of cold mortar had been piled on the sidewalk and O'Donnell fell straight into it, legs first, the legs being pointed in dif- ferent directions so that in striking the mortar they were badly wrenched and his hip was thrown out of joint. He wascom- letely buried in the mortar and his &uow-hborem were compelled to dig him out and that in a hurry, his eyes and month being filled with the biting stuff and his eyes especially being burned .by it. This dramatic_accident occurred on March 15 and he has not yet sufficiently recovered to permitting him to resume the climbing of ladders. = The Judge asked if he had been drink- ing that morning, and he replied that he lu% only drunk a bucket of beer and so was not at all intoxicated. He sued for $275 and the court allowed him $150 and costs. —————— F0S8' OPIUM AT AUCTION. The Smuggled Drug Brought a Good Round Figure. The Foss opium was sold at auction by United States Marshal Baldwin yesterday. The 800 tins realized $3000, or an average of$375 acan. This sum was a little more than the Government officials expected, | mar] and the informers, who expect to_ receive half of the net proceeas, weré delighted. Before the latter gentlemen are settled with there is liable to be trouble and pos- sibly a lawsuit. At least a dozen men claim to have given the information to the Government that led to the seizure, and as all cannot secure the informer’s reward there will be some tall swearing before the matter is settled. The opium sold yesterday was all Vic- toria opium and was intended for tran- shipment to Hawaii, where the drug is worth $40 a pound. Itcame down on the steamer from British Columbia labeled books and was consigned to the priest in charge of the leper settlement at Molokai. It was seized on Broadway wharf, but the Government found it impossible to con- demn it until Foss confessed before the | United States Grand Jury. BACK TO HIS POST. After an Absence of Over Four Years Captain M. P. Maus Returns to Angel Island. Captain Marion P. Maus of the First In- fantry Regiment, U. 8. A., stationed at Angel Island, has returned to his post after an absence of nearly five years. Since Au- gust 31, 1890, he has been aid-de-camp to Major-General Miles in New York. He would probably have remained away longer but for the law making it necessary for an officer to return to his regiment at the expiration of four years. Captain Maus is one of the best known officers of his rank in the army. During the Apache Indian war in Arizona Captain Maus, then first lieutenant, was present in several hot encounters with the hostiles, who were led by the notorious Chief Gero- nimo. Lieutenant Maus was in charge of & detachment of soldiers and Indian scouts. He followed the hostiles into Sonora, Mex., and was in the company that was am- bushed and fired upon by Chihuahua troops at Aros River, Mexico. In that en- counter the commander of the company was killed and Lieutenant Maus led the troofis back to the United States. For his ed skill and ability in conducting the cxf)e ition back under trying and diffi- cult circumstances, he received special mention in the War Department’s reports and records. He also received special honorable mention from Major-General Cook. It was during the Geronimo expe- dition, and after his gallant retreat from Mexico that he was brevetted captain. Since then he has acquired all the honors and remuneration of that position “THE TRIUMPH OF LOVE 18 HAPPY, FRUITFUL MARRIAGE.” Every Man Who Would Xnow the Grazd Truihs, the Plain Facts, the New Discoveries of Mediczl Science as Applied to Married Life, Who Would Atone for Past Errors and 4void Future Pitfalls, Should Secure the Wonderful Little Book Called “Complete Manhood, and How to At- tain It.” “Here at last is information from a high medical source that must work wonders with this generation of men.” The book fully describes a method by which to attain full vigor and manly power.
