THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SUNDAY, JULY 7, 1895. 1N A WOMAN'S CAUS: . Justice for Mrs. May~ brick the Aim of a New York Society. PLEA FOR A NEW TRIAL It Is Sought to Have All the Evidence in the Case Reviewed. RIGORS OF A LIFE IN JAIL Only Once Has the Mother of the Unfortunate Been Allowed to Em~ brace Her Child. NEW YORK, N. Y., July 6.—Interest in the ca: wom be Society, to agitate the subject of a re of the case of the woman wearing out her in penal servitude, is the latest de- velopment in the way of encouragement that is the friends of Mrs. Maybrick and her mother, the Baroness de Roques.

I have not lost sight of them for & day,” answered the Baroness. “My heart so hungers for them at times that I come to England ard wander about the house where my little granddaughter is staying simply to catch a glimpse of her as she plays in the garden. The boy is away at school now. The former was less than 3 years old at the time the trial closed and the latter just 6. My daughter herself was not 26 then, having been born in Mo- bile, Ala., September 1, 1863.” The International Maybrick Society has for its president Dr. Helen Dinsmore; the treasurer is Mrs. Massingbred, president of the Great Pioneer Club of London, and Mabel Collins, the well-known writer, is secretary. The following is the text in full of the circular which the society has prepared and which within the next month will be scattered throughout both England and America: “The Woman’s International Maybrick Society makes an apveal for funds to prose- cute an effort to bring the facts of the May- brick case before the English people. They do not ask for her release, nor do they plead for clemency or mercy. They only ask that the case be reviewed, incinding all the old and new testimony. ~All subscxip- tions raised by clubs or independently may be sent to the headquarters of the society, 10 West Chapel street, Mayfair, London.” ALL ARE PATRIOTIC, Oontinved from First Page. glad to know tb been ch; as one can judge from the newspapers, has not realized the fact that the pro-Turkish party, the so-called old Turks whose patriotic obstinacy, racial pride and religious fervor rendered the 1last war with Russia inevitable,. has now the wupper hand at the Port. The present leader of this party is Hassan Pasha, Minister of Marine. His dismissal has been vainly demanded by the new Grard Vizier, who finds his plans thwarted at every turn by Hassan’s influ- ence. Hassan has, in truth, formed a European league, and nine-tenths of the palace officials are his creatures. Very cautiously, but none the less effectively, the Sultan has been given to understand that his loyal and faithful subjects are sick of seeing Turkey harried and builied by Europeans, and that further concessions on his part may result in rebellion. The so-called plot recently unearthed in Constantinople is a part of this game. The unfortunate Armenians had nothing to do with it. The plot, such as it was, was purely Turkish, and the chief conspirators were soft as Ulemanas. Good Turks have generally been driven to patriotic despair by the Sultan’s complaisance toward med- diing foreigners. That, anyhow, is the version industriously circulated and in- siduously conveyed to the imperial ears, and material proof of the existence of the plot bas been opportunely afforded by the arrest of over 100 conspirators, mostly young Turkish cadets at the military school, and the seizure of arms and am- munition, and even bombs, manufactured no one knows where. Hassan is playing a bold game and the course of affairs in Macedonia will soon show whether he is likely to win. If the old Turks finally prevail the revolt in that province will be quenched in blood and Hassan, as the Grand Vizier, will have to answer to the remonstrances of horrified Europe. Therefore those who wish to have a_ clear understanding of the real situation from time to time should watch the personal fortunes of Hassan Pasha. A’ variety of gloomy reports regarding the condition of the Cornell crew bas been sent out from Henley in the past day or two. The best answer to these storiesis the fact that the crew rowed over the course to-day in 7 min. and 4 sec., which was the best time made by any eight in practice. The Thames crew to-day con- sumed 7 min. 14 sec., and the Leander crew more than eight minutes. The latter crew will row first with Cornell, as the re- sult of to-day’s drawing of lots. It maybe true that two or three of the Cornell boys are slightly overtrained, bui they have been doing the finest work on the river all the week. ‘The Valkyrie’s substantial victory in to- day’s race somewhat revives the hopes of her friends. The southerly breeze in which the race was sailed furnished the best possible conditions for the new boat, and she really developed wonderfnl speed. It was not a Britannia day. English yachtsmen are already saying among them- selves that the results of the American races depend entirely on the weather in which they are sailed. Professor Ramsey will soon have scme fresh facts of interest to announce regard- ing the new elements, argon and helium. He recently tested several chippings from metecrites and found both 'elements pres- ent in all of them. Adrian Diaconu of Hungary claimed to have made a remark- able discovery. According to a telegram from Vienna he has found in the remains of the old Roman camp of Bersovia at Bogesau, near Temesvar, what he and cer- tain learned men of Bucharest regard as irrefutable evidence that the centurions of the fourth legion, who were stationed there at some time during the second century, were acquainted with the use of movable types. Such a discovery, if verified, wili throw back the origin of the art of print- ing nearly thirteen centuries. 1t is already known that the Romans used stamps with which to impress upon bricks such in- scriptions as ‘tLeg. Vic, Six,” but there has been no trace of the use of movable types. * The trial of the Irish fanatics who burned to death Bridget Cleary in order to exorcise a witch last winter was finished yesterday. This lurid story of superstition has been told at length in the Sun. The prisoners, of whom the woman's husband and father were the most prominent, and who include a herb doctor and three neigh- bors, were found guilty of manslaughter. The husband was sentenced to twenty years, the father to five years and the others ranging from three years to six months in prison. Quite a romance is bound up in the dra- matic version of “Tritby,” which Beerbohm Tree will produce in the autumn. Du Maurier took as his model for little Billee the son of a cabinet-maker in Hampstead, who has since gone on the stage. When Tree heard of it he gave the youth an en- gagement to play the part for which he was sketched, thus insuring photographic accuracy, if nothing more. The distin- guished artist who figures in the book as The Laird, though quite a remarkable actor in private life, was compelled to de- cline the handsome offer to appear on the boards. There isno truth in the rumor that Tree is moving heaven and earth to secure Mr. W ler. Smcking service is the latest novelty in the religious world. The following invita- tion has been widely circulated in White- chapel: “If you want a smoke free come next Sunday afternoon at 3 o’clock to Christ Church Hall. A free cup of tea if you like. Tobacco gratis.” The state concert at Buckingham Palace last night was the most gorgeons affair, in point of the display of dress and jewels, that has been seen during this or any other season. Not less than 1500 persons at- tended. The blaze of diamonds and other precious stones was something beyond description. White satin was the favorite material and very much gray and mauve were worn with it. A certain beau- tiful Countess had the seams of her gown held down with diamond buttons and a handsome Marchioness had a sash fastened with a magnificent diamond sun. A foreign lady wore epaulettes of diamonds and emeralds upon diaphanous pink sleeves of pale-green satin and a gown which was powdered with rose petals, and on every leaf glim- mered a diamond dewdrop. A German Baroness had a gown of pale mauve satin, the bodice of which had a deep irill falling from the shoulders and beaded with dia- monds, a necklace or two of stones being utilized in that way. The splendid sapphires worn by one lady were as much admired as the fine rubies, now the cost- liest of jewels, that flashed on the shoul- ders and in the bair of another. Jonx H. CHAMBERLAIN. WHISKY TRUST PROPERTY. There Is Now No Way in Which the Sale Can Be Stopped. CHICAGO, I, July 6.—There is no way in which the sale of the whisky trust property can be stopped now. Judge Showalter in the United States court this afternoon again passed on several motions of counsel for Greenhut and Morris, decid- ing against them in every instance. The attorneys came fortified with great stacks of authorities, but the court did not wait to hear arguments. Every possible motion was made to gain a foothold in court for the two foes o% the reorganization commit- tee, but they were shut out, as they have been on other occasions, with the differ- ence that their exclusion as parties of record this time will be final. Their only recourse lies in the Court of Appeals, to which Edwin Walker, representing Green- hut, will apply for a writ of mandamus to compel Judge Showalter to grant him an appeal. As the writ will not be returnable until the next term of court, which will be in October, even if it were decided in favor of the minority interests it would then be too late to prevent the transfer of property to the reorganization committee. The cer- tificates of the organization, the American Spirits Distilling Company, are being en- graved and will be ready in a few days. B IRAEE ARE COMING WESTWARD.

Hereafter Merit Will Cut More Figure Than Will the Usual “Pull.” AN END PUT TO FAVORITISM. All Commissioned Men WIll in the Future Do Their Share of Fleld Work. WASHINGTON, D. C., July 6.—The War Department has prepared an crder, which will soon be issued, revis- ing and altering regulations swith reference to details of recruiting offi- cers at great centers, the changes having been effected with a view to putting an end to favoritism, which, it is stated, has been shown in previous years in making selec- tion of officers for this desirable duty. For years the recruiting service has been constituted for that classof officers who seek “soft places,”” and who prefer this kind of work to that strictly of a military character. There had been exceptions, but in the majority of cases assignments of officers have been made chiefly because the offi- cers have desired a detail to some locality, wWith no particular reference to efficiency for performing recruiting service. The work, if properly performed, is of the utmost importance to the army, as upon the careful scrutiny and examination of applicants for admission depends the material which now compose the National soldiery. Some stations have been diligent and have succeeded in securing excellent men for the army, whileothers, it is stated, have been careless, the result being that recruits have been dismissed shortly after their en- rollment, because of some oversight on the part of recruiting officers. In larger cities such as New York, Phila- delphia or San Francisco, the duties of these officers are not easy if proper atten- tion is given to them. Generally there are applicants every day, but on an average not one man in ten 1s registered and ad- mitted. The experience of the War Department shows that the best class of men for the army are from the country districts and to accept small pay and the arduous du- ties of a private, is generally accustomed to living on small salaries, and is inured to | hardships and self-abnegation. | There are comparatively few men, how- | ever, from the country who will give up | a comfortable berth for the life of a soldier, whereas cities are filled with | classes which, having failed at every | other branch of industry, are anxious to | enter the army, even with its disadvan- tages of small pay and loss of liberty. Secretary Lamont’s order will caution commanding officers against selecting of- ficers because of their desire to have “gilt- | edge duties.” Those officers who have seen long field service and have not tasted the “sweets” of life in large cities must be given prefer- | ence, if their qualifications for the work are not in doubt. The same policy will be pursued in so far as the rule applies to regiments on the frontier, and those officers who have been long away from civilization, as interpreted these days, will be selected for the duties over other officers who have more influ- ence but are less competent for the work. There are now vacancies in seven regi- ments of cavalry and thirteen of infantry , for which selections from recruiting officers will be made. Department commanders will decide on the officers best equipped for the duties and submit the mnames for the ion of the department. If there is no :ction to assignments found by the Secretary the details will then be made. EOUCATORS N SESSION Topics Discussed Before the American Council at Denver. Dr. McMurray Explains the Influ- ence of the Doctrine of Herbart. DENVER, Corvo., July 6.—There was a largely increased attendance over yester- day at the opening of the National Educa- tional Council in the Supreme Court cham- ber this morning. About twenty-five ad- ditional members of the council arrived last night, making nearly forty of the membership of sixty now in Denver. Many of the delegates to the educational association, in addition to a number of Colorado educators and visitors, were among the audience when President Rounds called the meeting to order. The utmost interest was manifested in the pro- ceedings and the discussions were unusu- ally instructive and full of interest. The afternoon session opened with a “round-table’ consideration of the “Influ- ence of Herbart’s doctrine on the course of study in the common schools.”” The dis- cussion was led by Dr. Charles A. McMur- ray of Norman, ill., who explained the theory of Herbartianism, responding to Murray ex- plained that Herbartianism is the doctrine years ago of enriching the course of study in the elementary school by laying empha- sis upon the subject matter to be taught, rather than nupon the mere forms, as gh.-ns believe that the school must be carefully adjusted to the capacity and interests of children and that all teaching should have President Rounds announced the com- mittees of the session as follows: New members—H. 8. Tarbell, Rhode Tsl- and; Mary E. Nicholson, Indiana; James H. Baker, Colorado; Earl Barnes, Califor- nia; Z. Richards, District of Columbia. Nominations—F. Louis Soldan, Missouri; C. B. Gilbert, Minnesota; L. H. Jones, Auditing—H. H. Seerley, Towa; A. R. Taylor, Kansas; Joseph Baldwin, Texas. At 60o'clock this evening a special train of electric-cars took the members of the Council of Education to University Park, where a receptior was given them at the home of Bishop H. W. Warren. It is estimated at mianight that 5000 teachers are in the city. ST Shortage in County Funds. CHEYENNE, Wyo., July 6.—The State Examiner’s explanation of the accounts of Frank Lusk, the retiring treasurer of Con- verse County, revealsnuhurtg e of $5800 in the county funds. Lusk’s bondsmen will be sued for the shortage. Luskclaims he had an agreement with the Count; Commissioners by which he was entitle to retain the fines and penalties for all de- linquent taxes collected by him and that _lthee apparent shortage represents these items, e TROOPS ORDERED OUT. Starving Strikers Cawsing Trouble in West Firginia Mines. HUNTINGTON, W. VA, July 6.—All the companies of the Second Regiment have been ordered to be ready to proceed to the Elkhorn country. All the talk in this city is the trouble in the Elknorn min- ing region and the action of the military authorities in calling out the Second Regi- ment, composed of nine companies. The Governor has had a representative at Elk- horn for days watching the condition of affairs. Recently the men and their families, who have been on a strike for two months, have been in an almost starving condition. They were evicted in man instances from the houses they occupied. They have not committed any damage as yet, but the manner in which they gathered and their conversation indicated trouble, and the authorities were called on. The Norfolk and Western Railroad as taken precautions to protect all its property. 1t will require four hours for all the companies in the Second Regiment to assemble. The entire Second Regiment of State militia is now assembled at the different armories in the western part of the State, and is ready to proceed to the scene of the trouble. Reports this morning said that matters were quiet, but an outbreak is liable at any minute. THEY PRETEND T0 WEEP, Suspected Murderers of Seljan See the Body of the Mur- dered Man. The Suicide Theory Incorporated in the Verdict of the Omaha Coroner’s Jury. OMAHA, NEBR., July 6.—To-day was oc- cupied with the Coroner’sinquest on the Seljan case. The prisoners were brought to the Morgue to see the body and were greatly affected, Buckovitz pretending to weep. The witnesses told the story of the finding of the body, and an autopsy was performed on it. One of the lungs was filled with air, which proves that death re- sulted before the body reached the water. | Dr. J. E. Summers Jr. testified that the cut in the throat was such that the de- ceased could not have lived more than nine minutes. The Coroner’s verdict was that death came from the hand of Seljan or some unknown person. The suicide theory has been advanced by friends of the prisoners, and it obtained a recogni- tion in the jury report, although this was a sarprise to the spectators. There was some talk of lynching to- night, and the police are much wrought up over the affair. The fact that Bncke- vitz admits that he shaved Seljan Tuesday, and that his knife, nemorandum-book and hat were found in the dead man’s room by the police, and also that Seljan had loaned Buckovitz and Urban money with which to pay their board bills, and also ad- vanced money to settle a judgmentob- tained against them in Justice Long’s court, impresses Chief of Police White with the betief that he hassecured a strong circumstantial chain of evidence against the suspects. Complaints charging at Jeast four of the prisoners (the men) with murder were filed at the inquest. INCREASED TAK ON BEER, One Means That May Be Em- ployed to Raise Treas~ ury Receipts. Consumers of Whisky, However, Will Escape the Threatened Advance in Duties. NEW YORK, N. Y., July 6.—A special dispatch from Washington says: Since the official promuigation of the public debt statement showing a deficit of $45,000,000 for the fiscal year just closed the treasury officials have been trying to figure out some practical means of meeting the deficiency in the future. Commis- sioner of Internal Revenue Miller says that there has been considerable speculation on the subject of increasing tbe tax on beer, whisky and tobacco, but up to the present time he bas not talked with Secretary Car- lisle on that subject, and he will not un- dertake to submit any recommendations bearing on that question in his forthcom- ing annual report. In the latter document Mr. Miller says he will confine his remarks to the official returns as shown by the figures submitted by the Collectors of In- ternal Revenue for the several districts, without any comment upon the proposi- tion to increase the revenue. After the official data from the various collection districts have heen compiled the Commissioner will have a conference with Secretary Carlisle on the subject of the best means of increasing the revenues. The Commissioner is inclined to favor an increase in the tax on beer, but he does not believe it would be wise to place an ad- ditional tax on whisky. The latter, he says, pays as much as it can without placing a premium on illicit distilling. The present tax on whisky is such that it can be col- lected with greater profit to the Govern- ment than would be the result from a higher rate of taxation. There is, of course, considerable illicit distilling indulged in under the present system, but in the opin- ion of Commissioner Miller, an increase in the tax on whisky would provoke addi- tional violation of the revenue laws, and at the same time cause heavy additional exvenses for ths detection of the same. His annual reporc will not be prepared until late in the coming iall, and 1n the mean time conditions, he thinks, may have changed so that no increase in the revenues may be required. A T T BURIED BY A CAVE-IN. Five Men Killed and Fifteen Wounded in @ Mine Disaster. ST. LOUIS, Mo,, July 6.—A special to the Chronicle from Toluca, Mexico, says that a horrible accident occurred at the Calvario stone-quarry vesterday. A large force of men was getting out stone when the earth caved fn, completely burying them. Five men were killed and fifteen seriously wounded. Pl e i John Buckley Found. ST. LOUIS, Mo., July 6.—John Buckley, the son and heir of Kaie Welch, recently found in an insane asylum at Reno, Nev., and who has a deposit in the Hibernia Bank of San Francisco, has been found in this city. He says he has not seen his mother since he was a child, but for ;h!man years he has been searching for eI ¥ ON"EASTERN TRACKS, Only One Favorite Lands First at Brighton Beach. JUDGE MORROW INJURED. The Famous Handicap Horse Has Started in His Last Race. A SURPRISE AT MILWAUKEE Pisa, a 20 to 1 Shot, Wins the Six Furlongs—Fouls on a Kansas * City Track. BRIGHTON BEACH RACETRACK, N. Y., July 6.—Notwithstanding threaten- ing weather to-day the crowd at the races this afternoon was very large. The track was deep with mud, consequently the card was cut to pieces. Only one favorite, ‘Wernberg, a 7 to 5 shot, passed under the wire a winner. There were two handicaps down for de- cision—the Brighton handicap, value $1200, and the Pegasus handicap, a steeple- chase for four-year-olds and upward. In the former Lucky Dog, who was at odds of 5 to 2, cut out the pace to the stretch, when ‘Walker apparently made no further effort and permitted his stable companion, Lovdal, at a longer price, to win by three parts of a length. He finished a length in front of Redskin. In the race for the Pegasus handicap The Peer was posted favorite, but St. An- thony, who was second choice in the bet- ting, won with plenty to spare, When the going was very fast in this race Judge Mor- row, The Peer and Dwight fell, and all were more or less injured. Percy, how- ever, immediately remounted The Peer and finished fourth. Judge Morrow, the great handicap horse, is 8o badly broken down that it is thought he will never race again.

MEMPHIS, TENx., July 6.—The steamer Lady Lee, which left Memphis at 5 o’clock Friday night, struck a reel off 'sland No. 60 at 8 p. »., and sank within three min- utes. A score of passengers are supposed to have been drowned. Seven dead have been recovered. Two of the missing were members of the crew; the others were passengers. The boat went down where the Sultana sank in 1865, carrying 1800 out oi the 2200 Union soldiers on board to watery graves. "The Lady Lee belonged to the Lee line, owned by Captain “Jim” Lee and his sons. She was bound for Osceola, Ark., with a large cargo of freight, a fair list of cabin passengers and fifty deck passengers. She landed at Island 40 and discharged freight and then backed down to get into the main channel. When 100 yards from the landing the wheel struck a sunken stump which fore a hole in the hull and displaced her timbers on the boiler deck. The water rushed in. Engineer Graves signaled Pilot Owens that the boat would sink. The west side of the river offering no place to'run the steamer ashore the pilot concluded to make a dash for the Tennes- see sand bar on the east shore. He called for a full head of steam and the boat shot forward for the shoal water. Under her the water was then seventy feet deep. Captain Cooper ordered” the passengers { to get on top of the hurricane roof. Some | one yelled: “We are going to the bottom "’ and a scene of wild confusion followed. There were a dozen ladies aboard. Many of them fainted, and these were seized by the men and carried aloft. Captain Cooper shouted to them not to jump overboard, but to trust to the boat reaching the bar. Engineer Graves was standing in water up to his waist. The furnaces filled, and every instant he expected an explosion. But he stood to his post, and in response to the pilot’s calls threw on all available steam. 3 When within 100 yards of the bar the water had filled the hull of the Lady Lee and she careened over almost on her side. Half of the panic-stricken passengers jumped overboard, and the women would have followed but for the stern commands of the officers. There was a stampede among the deck passengers, and two-thirds of these leaped into the water. The engineer was almost entirely sub- merged, but there was steam left and he remained at his post. The boat righted herself for a moment and Iunged forward fifty feet further, and there sank so low that the still revolving wheel was entirely under water and ceased to propel the boat. The engineer started above, but before he could reach the cabin deck the boat had settled in fifteen feet of water, leaving the hurricane roof above the surface. Those who remained on it were taken off in skiffs. Twenty-five passengers, all men, who had jumped into the water, were also saved in skiffs, but a score, it is feared, were drowned. — THEY LIKE «THE CALL" California Marksmen Pleased With the Reports Pub- lished. For One Day the Eastern Cracka- Jacks Have Things All Their Own Way. NEW YORK, N. Y., July 6.—The Cali- fornia boys, with the exception of A. H. Pape, Louis Bendel, F. 0. Young and Pop Ehrenpfort, wereabsent from the ranges at Glendale Park to-day, having accepted the invitation of the Winchester Arms Com- pany to visit their factories at New Haven and incidentally have a good time. All the marksmen to-day were discuss- ing George Helm'’s big feat on the ring tar- get yesterday, when he scored 75 out of a possible 75, equaling his own previous rec- ord made last year, when he took the world’s championship from David Miller of Hoboken, N. J., who held it for fourteen years with a score of 74 out of 75. The Eastern cricks held sway to-aay, and Gus Zimmerman made the remarkable score of 49 out of 50 on the American standard target, and a Brooklynite, William Vor- bach, topped F. P. Schuster’s previous rec- ord for this tournament of 71 on the honor target Columbia. Vorbach made 72. The shooting has been extended on the honor targets, which were to have closed to-day, until Monday evening, when all shooting will stop. The men who did not go to New Haven did some fair shooting. Pape made 70 on the ring, Young scored 69 and Pop Ehrenpiort 61. Bendel was the busiest of the four, scoring 57 o the Co- lumbia, 44 on the standard and 80 on the man. In conversation with The United Press representative and some others to-day A. H. Pape, who is regarded by the Eastern sharpshooters asa wonder in the sharp- shooting line, spoke very highly of the San Francisco CaLy, stating that he always depended on that paper for reports of shooting, and that while its great special- ties were art and literature, the shooting department was invariably reliable in its information and could always be depended on to get the names of the shooters correct; a feature which he, in common with the rest of the boys, complained was absent from the other papers. FOR POISONING HIS WIFE. Arrest of @ Chicago Barber for @ Foul Crime. CHICAGO, ILL., July 6.—A warrant was to-night sworn out for Charles J. Uhl, charging him with poisoning his wife.

The eldest of the two chil- dren, who were sleeping in the room where Mrs. Uhl died, says that her father gave her mother medicine before she died which made her very sick. Uhl is a barber and aspiritualist. It is said he predicted that his wife would be in another world before July, and took out a $2500 insurance policy on gner life. Uhl has made contradictory statemen ts about his wife’s death. e PERISHED 1IN THE FLAMES. A Woman Buried Beneath the Wallsof a Burning Building. OSWEGO, N.

YOUNG MEN OLD MEN Why is it that o many men about the age of 30 to 35 look and feel like men o 602 You see it and wonder at it. But he who is prematurely aged knows the rea- son. It is because in early years he wasted the vital force which nature in- tended him to store up for future use. Now he needs it and it is gone. And yet nature provides means of renewing it in Electricity as applied by Dr. Sanden’s Electric Belt and Suspensory. ¢¢OUR ELECTRIC BELT IS A WONDER- ful remedy for restoring vital force and re- juvenating old age. I feel ten years younger since Igot it,” writes L. D. Holbrook. agent Home Mutual Insurance Company, Watsonville, Cal. A man with ‘strong vital force, sexual and men- tal energy, is a king among men. 1t you have any regrets for the past why not avail yourself of the chance to recuperate your physical forces before it goes too far? “Your belt has entirely renewed my vital force, and I would not part with it for anything,” wrote W. H. Moss from Lovelocks, Nev. The physical body of man is of delicate constric- tion. Perhaps you have at some period in’your life misused some of its functions. Ask yourself the question, “Have I always treated myself right? Have I never overstepped the limits of prudence in physical pleasures®" Indiscretion is alwsys punished. When you overtax your vital forces you cannot help reaping the consequences. If you waste to excess the vitality nature has given you for daily uss, you must draw upon your reserve force to supply the excess. This reserve force s the foundation of your vital structure, and frequent drafts upon it will most surely undermine your physical, sexual and mental strength. Once started, this vital force is wasted daily until complete sexual and mental exhausiion take place.
