THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, TUESDAY, AUGUST 27, 1895. prograss all elong the line. The trains bebring the visiting commanderies are runnipg closer to schedule time than was expected, and there is little danger that any commandery will be tied up on a rail- road siding while its fellows are marching in the grand parade. Some of the Western trains are reported late, and the New Eng- and specials to-day were not all on time, but no serious delay is reported. All the other committees have been pressed to their utmost eapacity by the accumulation in the closing hours of preparations of the thousand and one de- tails attending so stupendous a gathering, and the results achieved appear marvelous. The city is rapidly filling up with strangers, the weather promises to be propitious and the indications all peint to the most suc- cessful conclave in the history of the order. Leading members of the order believe that Pittsburg will have a walkover in se- curing the next conclave, but say there will be spirited contests for some of the officers for the Grand Encampment. The office of grand recorder is now filled by appointment, the former recorder having died recently. There are many candidates for that place, among the most prominent being W. B. Isaacs Jr., son of the late grand recorder; Mr. Thomas of Washing- ton, Mr. Ramsay of Pennsylvania, W. H. Mayo_of Missouri and John A. Geron of Detroit. It is generally understood that the grand master, Hugh McCurdy of Mich- igan, will be succeeded by W. La Rue Thomas ef Kentucky. The officers down to the junior grand warden will probably be promoted. For the position of junior grand warden there will be several can- didates. The chances are that W. B. Melish, imperial potentate of the shrine, will be elected. The Kansas delegation of Knights Templar arrived at noon in fine condition and were escorted in procession by De Molay Commandery to their headquarters. ‘They were received with enthusiasm by the spectaters en route. Commanderies poured into the city by train and boat all day and in almest every instance the visitors were met by some local or suburban lodge and edconfed to their various headquarters. Many of the visiting bodies brought their own tands or drum corps with them and the scenes at the stations were those of gayety and pleasing confusion and bustle. A laree number of commanderies scheduled to arrive at 9 and 10 o’clock were from two-to three hours late, but when they did come they seemed tocome as fastas the tracks could be cleared to make room for them. South Dakota No.1of Dead- wood; Mount Tabor No.5 of Fremont, Nebr.; Melita No. 22 o0f Chaadron, Nebr., and'a large number of Eastern and minor delegations were included 1n the arrivals. MASTER. WILL BE AND Interesting Career of dir Knight Warren La Rue Thomas. BOSTON, Mass., Aug. 26.—Warren La Rue Thomas, who will be elected grand master of the Grand Encampment, Knights Templar of the United States, was born at Slizabethtown, Ky., on the 25th of Janu- ary, 1845, his parents being Joseph H. and Amanda La Rue Thomas. While quite a youth Sir Knight Thomas’ parents moved to Danville, Ky., where, after receiving his vreparatory education, he attended Center College, one of Kentucky’s best-known in- stitutions of learning. After graduating he $vas engaged for a few years in mercantile pursuits, then took up the life insurance business, which has engaged his time and attention for the past twenty years. No man in the insur- ance business in Kentucky is better known than Mr. Thomas, who is now one of the special agents for the Mutual Life of New York for the States of Kentucky and Ten- nessee. Mr. Thomas petitioned the Masons as soon as he became of age and at once re- ceived the degrees in the lodge, chapter and council. He became an enthusiastic member and soon gained admission to the grand bodies of the State. After filling various subordinate positions in both bodies he was in October, 1880, elected grand master of the Grand Lodge and grand high priest of the Grand Chapter, filling both positions the same year. He had already occupied the chair of grand master of the Grand Council, Royal and Select Masters. In October, 1872, 8ir Knight Thomas re- ceived the Knight Templar orders in De Molay Commandery No. 12, Louisville, Ky., preparatory to organizing a com- mandery at his home in Danville. In February, 1873, he assisted in forming Ryan Commandery No. 17, and was the first captain-general of that commandery, afterward holding the office of eminent commander for two years. At the meeting of the Grand Command- ery of Kentucky in 1874 he was elected to the office of grand senior warden, and after regular promotion was elected grand commander in May, 1878, In 1874 8ir Knight Thomas attended the meeting of the grand encampment in New Orleans as proxy of the grand commander of Kentucky, and has been present at every meeting since thattime. At Chicago in 1880 he was elected to the office of grand junior warden, and at each triennial since has received a regular promotion, having been elected deputy grand master at Den- . verin 1892. Sir Knight Thomas isalsoa member of the Shrine and of the Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite, having been crowned with the thirty-third degree in 1889. He is a typical Kentuckian, being 6 feet tall and weighing 200 pounds. Sir Knight Thomas is regarded as one of the best Masonic jurists in the order, and for years has served on the jurisprudence com- mittee.in the various grand bodies of his native State. Being a ready debater and forcible speaker, with a good presence and @ fine voice, his influence is felt in all matters of legislation coming before the Masonie grand bodies. He has always been a champion of the Masonic Widows’ and Orphans’ Home, the pride of all Ken- tucky Masons, and much of the success of that institution is due to his efforts in shaping legislation for its benefit. FORMING A BIG COMBINE. Window-Glass Manufacturers Holding an Important Conference. CLEVELAND, O=10, Aug. 26.—The Win- dow-glass Manufacturers’ Association met in this city this morning to consider ques- tions concerning the running of their works and rate of wages. Members of the association were very reticent in regard to the objects of the meeting. The Indiana manufacturers made a report of progress of their combine and strongly urged co~ operation by the manafacturers of the Ea?‘t, showing the advantages of united action by the fifty-four factoriesof the country. The discussion was lively, the eneral sentiment being in favor of com- ination. On the question of wages com- mittees of the manufacturers and work- men have had several conferences. There still are differences of 24 per cent between the two sides. Itis thought that a com- promise will be reached. EEL IR i Carlisle Returns to Washington. ERIE, Pa., Aug. 26.—Secretary Carlisle arrived from Lake Ontario on the steamer Aleranth on Sunday, and came ashore for a drive this morning, He left for Philadelphia by the Erie Railroad on his way to Vgashingum at 3:25 this afternoon. Carlisle during his stay courteously but, decidedly refused to receive callers. QUAY 1S CONFIDENT, Expects to €ontrol the Republican Voters of Pennsylvania. LEADERS ALL IN ARRAY. Administration Men Also Figure Out a Big Victory. MUCH GUESSING BUT NOBETTING Those on the Senator’s Side Expect to Get Quite a Nice Little Majority. HARRISBURG, Pa., Aug. 26.—Whether Senator Quay or the leaders arrayed against him will control the Republican organization in the State after Wednesday remains to be determined. Nothing has occurred to-day that would indicate the result of the bitter factional conflict. Both the Quay and administra- tion leaders are confident of victory, but it is quite evident that somebody is making estimates that will net hold water. Several deflections from the Quay ranks were reported this afternoon, among these mentioned in this commection being dele- gates from Erie, Butler, Berks and Allegheny. Of course the cry of bribery is raised frequently, but the anti-Quay people say it is only now becoming apparent wherein their opponents have been reckoning without a true knowledge of the facts. They declare the fight has been won for the administration and that no amount of bluffing will change the result. On the other hand, Senator Quay’s sup- porters assert most positively that the vie- tory is theirs and that under no circum- stances can they be defeated. To those who have been quietly observing the ma- neuvers there to-day there is a haze shroud- ing the situation which cannot be easily penetrated. Guessing is indulged in by everybody, but there is little or no betting. The figure-men on Senator Quay’s side say he will have from ten to thirty ma- jority, but the administratien calculations reverse these figures in their own faver. BIG GATHERING OF JURISITS. Conference of the Promotion of Legisla- tive Uniformity. DETROIT, Micr., Aug. 26.—There was a notable gathering of lawyers and jurists at Hotel Cadillac this morning to attend a conference of members of the State com- missions for the promotionp of uniformity«| of legislation in the United'States. Frederick H. Stimson of Bosten called the meeting to order and 8. M. Cutcheon of this city was made temporary chairman, The rollcall showed that commissions from the States of New Yark, Massachusetts, New Jersey, Michigan, Georgia, Illinois, Connecticut, Mississippi, Fowa, South Car- olina, Florida, Maine, Missouri, Colorado, Vermont and Oklahoma were present. At the afternoon session the report of the committee on election or officers was unanimously adopted. It presented the name of Hon. 8. M. Cutcheon of Michigan for president, L. D. Brewster of Connecti- cut for viee-president and F. H. Stimson of+ Massachusetts for secretary. On the subject of a commercial code for bills and notes Judge Brewster read a let-)| ter from Lord Chancellor Herschell of Great Britain advising the conference to adopt those in use in Great Britain. Lord Herschell in this letter said he did not think there was any difference of apin- ion in England upon the subject. There was a common agreement that the code embodying the law of negotiable instru- ments has been of great uiility. It has given rise to few questions requiring deci- sions by the courts, and it has put beyond controversy not a few that were in doubt. It has been adopted, one after another, by all of the self-governing colonies, and the code is now applicable to the whole of the British domain. This is of itself nosmall testimony in its favor. A similar code for the United States would, he thought, be a boon for the cemmercial community of both countries. Mr. Bergen of New Jersey offered a reso- lution, which was adopted, providing that the committee on commercial law provide adraft of a bill for a commercial code of notes and bills, the bill drafted to be pr sented at the next meeting of the confer- euce before being submitted to any State legislatures. HAEDIN AND BRADLEY. Kentucky’s Candidates for Governor En- tered a Lively Debate. BOWLING GREEN, K., Aug. 26.—The fourth of the series of joint debates be- tween Messrs. Hardin and Bradley at- tracted 6000 people here to-day. Colonel Bradley opened in an address of an hour and fifteen minutes, after which Geners! Hardin replied in a speech of one hour and_thirty minutes, and then Mr. Bradley replied in a rejoinder of fifteen minutes. Referring to the negro guestion Colonel Bradley repeated his statement that he was_opposed to the enactment of alaw similar to that passed in New York, allow- ing the negroes to enjoy equal rights with the white people in hotels and opera- houses. Bradley said in reply to Hardin: “I want to settle that question as to my stand on the currency question. I am fora gold standard, do you hear?” Hardin made one of his characteristic speeches, calling on God and man to stand by the party and to support a man who would not betray his principles. DEATH IN THE FLAMES. Twe Children Fatally Burned in a Boarding-House Fire. MENOMINEE, MicH., Aug. 26.—Fire caught in a bed at a Michigan-avenue boarding-house yesterday afternoon kept by John Anderson and the house was partly destroyed. John Anderson, a seven- year-old boy, was fatally burned; Matthew Anderson, aged 5 years, inhaled flames and cannot live; John Anderson was badly burned on the face and hands and Mrs, Anderson had her leg broken. The children were asleep when the fire broke out and were badly burned before they could be rescued. The father wasalso severely burned while rescuing the chil- dren, and the mother jumped from a second-story window with a llttle babe and {ractured one of her limbs. Sk S e Rankin Ignored an Injunction. s DENVER, Coro., Aug. 26.—Attorneys for Harper Bros. and A. M. Palmer to-day asked ‘Judge Hallett of the United States District Court to wwel McKee Rankin, the actor, and H. L. Widner, to show cause why they should not be punished for con- tempt of court. Some months ago Judge Hallett restrained the defendants from producing “Trilby”’ on the stage in this city and now they are alleged to be giving the play at ene-night stands in Arkansas and Texas. The nsourt will proceed lgnpihst the actor and his manager. . I YET IN ABEXYANOE, Negotiations Toward Getting Newfound- land Into the Dominion. LONDON, Exa., Aug. 26.—In the House of Commons to-day William Johnston, Conservative member from Belfast, asked for information as to the position of the negotiations which had been pursued be- tween Newfoundland and Canada to the end that the former should be merged into the Dominion. He also asked whether the home Government would assist in set- ling the financial difficulties of Newfound- land. Mr. Chamberlain, Secretary of State for the Colonies, said that the negotiations were in abeyance, owing, he believed, to disinclination of the Dominion to assume the debt of Newfoundland. If the second art of Mr. Johnston’s question meant the imposition upon the taxpayers of Great Britain of gny liability for the debt of the colony of Newfoundland, Mr. Chamber- Xatgn said, he must be answered in the neg- ative. George N. Curzon, Under Foreign Secre- tary, stated that the report that the troops sent to escort the British Consul to Ku Cheng had plundered the Christian mis- sion at that place was not confirmed by the Consul himself. The Foreign Office, he said, had not heard anything in regard to any misconduct on the part of the escort. The Government, however, upon learning that the Chinese authorities at Ku Cheng objected to the presence of the British Consul at the inquiry into the outrage had sent a protest to the Peking Govern- ment, which gmd immediately telegraphed orders that the Consul should be shown every possible facility to enable him to watch the examinations. VISITED THE EA-CONSUL. Representatives of the United States Embassy Interviewed Mr. Waller. The Imprisoned Man Much Cheered by the Faot That He Was Not Forgotten. PARIS, Fraxce, Aug. 27.—Newton B. FEustis, son of the American Embassador, and Mr. Alexander, counsel of the em- bassy, returned to-day from Clairvaux, whither they went to see John L. Waller, American ex-Gonsul to Madagascar, who was sentenced by a court-martial'to a long term of imprisonment on cenviction of having informed the Hovas, with whom the French are at war, of the movements of the French. They were allowed to con- verse with Waller practically alone. The rules of the prison allow no prisoner to see any visitors except in the presence o an offieial. In this case, however, the rule was but techniocally observed. The Gov- ernor remained 'in the next room to thatin which Mr. Eustis and Mr. Alexander saw Mr. Waller. The door between the rooms was left open, but practically the conver- sation was private. ‘Waller’s health has improved since his arrival in France as s prisoner from Mada- ascar. He was suffering upon his arrival rom the effects of the fever that prevails in Madagascar. He seemed to be greatly cheered by the visit of Eustis and Alex- ander and by their assurance that the | United Ststes Government would inquire thoroughly into his case. When asked whetherhe had any complaint to make regarding his treatment .in prison, Waller repliea, *No, but I would like to have a chairahd a table.” This, hdwever, according to the rules governing prisoners sentériced to solitary confinement, is not allowed. The Ameri- can embassy will apply to the Foreign Office for the relaxation of the rulesin ‘Waller’s case in“order that he may be sup- plied with a chair and table. Waller occupies a wainscoted cell that )is reserved for political prisoners. Heis aduwed an invalid’s diet; that is, what everhe requests in the way of meat or vegetables is furnished him. He futnished Eustis and Alexander with a full account of the events which led to his arrést, also with details of the broceedings of the court-martial which convicted and sen- tenced him. This statement has been| transmitted to the State Department at ‘Washington. LONDON, Exc., Aug. 26.—The Daily News will say to-morrow that it regards the difficulty arising from the ridiculously severe sentence imposed on Mr. Waller as somewhatigrave, if it is a symptom of the condition 0f the French feeling, but the paper adds'that it is of the opinion that it bavill certainly admit of an amicable settle- ‘ment. Continuing it says: “The French have constantly shown that they are wil- ling teradmit an error of temper when it ean be proved against them. Thereis a certamn irony in the mischance which has embroiled them with a power so absolutely indifferent to the Madagascar question as the United States. They are morbidly sensitive regarding treasons, plots and stratagems. They mustfhave gone far out of their way to fix a quarrel with the American Consul. Their misfortune is that these things are done not by states- men, but by soldiers.” FATHER KELLYS CASE, Unjust Charges Made Against a Newly Arrived Priest in Omaha. Persecuted and Accused by a Man Who Then Had Him Arrested. OMAHA, Nepr., Aug. 26.—The case against Father Kelly of Newark, N. J., who was arrested by Officer Thomas, on complaint of Block Watchman Enright, on the charge of impersonating a priest ana being a suspicious character, was tried in the police court this morning. The com- plaint had been changed, charging a dis- turbance of the peace. On motion of the prosecuting attorney the reverend gentle- man was discharged, after which the at- torney censured the two complainants in severe terms. Father Kelly made the fol- lowing statement: “I arrived in this city at 5 o’clock Satur- day morning on a delayed train on the Milwaukee road. This was the first time I was ever in this city. I was directed to the Midland Hotel by an officer and went to bed and remained there untilafter noon, and then went to South Omaha to see m: sister. Ireturned to the hotel and reti; at 10 o'clock in the evening. Unable to sleafil dressed and started out to take a stroll. 1 was approached by a man whom 1took to be a robber, -nrlywho began to g:zesflon me. He then accused me of be- g in a hallway with a woman, and said that I was a fraud and ought to be arrested. “Just then an officer in uniform came along on the other side of the street and I went over to him to have the man taken into custody. Iwas abused and insulted all this time by the man, who seemed to be intoxicated.

FOUGHT SEVEN ROUNDS. Then the Pugilist From New- ark Was Laid Low by the Saginaw Kid. S00N KNOCKED DOWN AND OUT. Frank Erne Defeated Jack Skelly of Brooklyn in Very Short Order. \ MASPETH, L. I, Aug. 26.—~The new Empire Athletic Club of Maspeth, L. I., to-night was formally opened. The numerous setbacks recently that sparring has received from the authorities did not seem to deter the patrons of the manly art, and long before the time set for the open- ing bout the entrance doors were crowded with a long line of people. The attractions provided were of a high order, the principal bout of the evening being that between Lavigne, the Saginaw “Kid,” and Jimmy Handler of Newark. There were about 2000 people present when the opening bout between Frank Erne of Buffalo and Jack Skelly of Brooklyn was announced. The referee was Tim Hurst, and Frank Freeman held the watch. Much interest centered in this bout, as it was thought a fair line could be goton Erne’s chances with Dixon. The lads were down to fight ten rounds at 126 pounds. The bout was a lively one and of the give-and-take order. When the seventh round was reached both men were weak, butfought gamely. Erne got in a good right hander and then landed twice on the beart and followed up with his left on the face. Skelly sank to the ropes and rolled over on his side. The round lasted 2 minutes and 40 seconds. Skelly had to be carried to his corner. Then came the star bout of the evening, between Lavigne and Jimmy Handler. The bout was twenty rounds at 133 pounds. Round 1—Lavigne landed lightly on the breast. After some give-and-take work Handler landed twice with the left. La- vigne got in a right-hand swing on the head and immediately got in a left-han¢ swing on the jaw. Handler landed his right on the face and missed a vicibus left swing. Round 2—Lavigne rushed and landed his left on the neck. Lavigne got in a terrific right on the body and follewed it up with his left on the jaw. He went for his man with a series of left and rignt swinegs and almost had Handler on the ropes. The round was all in Lavigne’s favor. Round 3—Lavigne landed his right and left on the body and rushed his man to the ropes. Handler rallied toward the close, however. Round 4—Lavigne sent Handler to the ropes. He followed it up with his right on the jaw. Handler appeared weak and Lavigne landed some heavy body blows, forcing his man to the ropes. Just as the gong sounded, Lavigne got im his right and left on the head. Round 5—The “Kid” got in his right on the body, and soon after landed his left. Handler was very groggy, and Lavigne got in-a heavy body blow which knocked Handler down. The Newark man got to his feet, but immediately afterward the “Kid” landed his right on the jaw and Handler was knocked down and out. One minute and seven seconds of the round had elapsed. ON THE FPASTERN TRACKS. Horses and Drivers Get Mived Up in a Spill at Fleetwood Park. NEW YORK, N. Y., Aug. 26.—The sixth meeting in the grand trotting circuit opened to-day at Fleetwood Park with three spirited harness races. Betting was carried on under the English system in vogue at the running tracks, but no ready money changed hands, all wagers being on credit. In the third heat of the first race El Rami, the favorite, while going dowh the hill made a break, and getting tangled in his whipples, suddenly fell with the other horses close behind him. Burlingame, driven by John Dickerson, was trailing the leader and went right over him, throw- ing his jockey high in'theair. Nomadalso went into the wreck, and Isaac Fleming, his driver, was thrown violently to the ground, but escaped with a severe shaking up. His horse ran away through the field until stopped by a mounted peliceman. Frank Howard, the driver of El Rami, was badly injured about the body and legs. He will recover. He was taken to the hospital. None of the horses were hurt. The judges distanced El Rami, but per- mittes nfi the other horses to start again. With EI Rami_out of the way, Prince Purdy gathered in the next three heats in gsllant style, taking a record of 2:15Y in he fourth round: 2:30 class trot, purse $3000. r0; bra by Havelock Clayton 33111 IR 652286 42 x 3 4 243817 9 9 x6 2 1011 x 4 3 58465 11 8 51010 776909 810 7 7 8 1212 x dr. 1 dis. 2:10 class pace, purse $2000.

WOODLAND, Oar., Aug. 26.—The fea- ture of the day’sracing at the fourth an- nual fair of the Fortieth Agricultural Dis- trict Association was the 2:16 class pacing, all ages.

RIVALS TO UNCLE SAM. If Spain Relinquishes Her De-~ mands There May Be a Scramble. AS TO THE MOOTED COLOR LINE. Diaz's Government Thinks That Negroes Would Make Very De- sirable Citizens. CITY OF MEXICO, Mex., Aug. 26.—The Nacional, a newspaper friendly tothe Gov- ernment, criticises the attitude of the Lib- eral Government organ on the Cuban question. The latter paper has taken ground against the annexation of Cuba to Mexico, alleging that the negro pop- ulation is an insuperable obstacle. The general opinion is that itis only nat- ural that a journal closely allied to the Government, which has friendly relations with Spain, should openly declare against annexation. It is probable that a major- ity of the people here, if the case was put to a vote, would declare in favor of admit- ting Cuba into the Mexican Union. The Nacional says: It is easily under- stood why the Cubans desire separation from Spain, even at the cost of falling under the domination of the Americans, for the present situation humilates and deprives them of their rights, while at the same time it imposes all classes of duties, But it is not conceivable that they should prefer to exchange the full political liberty they would enjoy as Mexicans for the in- evitable political ostracism they would suffer if allied to the United States. There is no obstacle in the character of the popu- lation of Cuba to annexation to Mexico. It would be an easy country to govern. The Mexican Financier also advocates the annexation of Cuba in case Spain relinquishes her hold on the island. It adds: Thus Mexico would become imperial in domain, and with the addition of Central America would constitute a barrier to Anglo-Saxon aggression from the north. FROM SPANISH SOURCES.

MADRID, Sparn, Aug. 26.—The Dia as- serts that the Government has abandoned the intention of sending 25,000 soldiers to Cuba in October.

In a Fonr Hours’ Conflict Spanish Troops Were Routed: KEY WEST, Fra.,, Aug. 26.—Private letters received in this city from Havana, dated the 17th inst., state that in the bat- tle of Placetas, between the Spanish under Colonel Planca, and the insurgents, the troops were completely routed. The battle lasted four hours. On the 17th the insurgents under com- mand of Fernando Fernandez entered the town of Rojas, in Las Vilas district, and destroyed the raitroad depot and several wholesale houses. The insurgent forces around Remedios number 1500, command- ed by Bravo Diaz, Fernandez and Marsul, an Italian. The people in Sanctu Spirita are in a terrible condition. Provisions are very scarce and are held at exorbitant prices. On the 19th the insurgents, under the command of Zayas and Munez, entered the town of Les Esperanza, sacked all the grocery-stores and afterward paid for the oods with Cuban bonds, r1edeemable at e end of the revolution. TO STOP FILIBUSTERING. One United States DMarshal Ready to Arrest His Own Son. BT. LOUIS, Mo., Aug. 26.—A special to the Chronicle from Kansas City says: Private telegrams from Washington ex- press the anxiety felt by President Cleve- ‘land’s Cabinet over the attempt to organ- ize and equip an army of Cuban filibus- ters in Kansas City. United States Mar- shal Shelby has taken a firm stand, and his action has caused the leaders te close their recruiting offices. The Marshal says he will stop the movement if he has to ar- rest his own son, who is the accredited or- ganizer here. The Spanish Minister at ‘Washington has sent emissaries here to investigate the orfi:mafion of an armed force here to assist the Cuban insurgents, and it is probable that the matter will de- velop into an international affair.

Baking Powder Absolutely Pure, HE FOUND THE GANE. AStory Told by a Hunter Who Has “Neen the Ciase.” HE QUAILED ON OVE OCCASION. ‘What Neither Grizzly Bewr Nor Mount« ain Lion Could Do Oye Enemy Ac+ complished—Mr. Timms Got & Bead on the Attacking Fowe None Too Soon—How He Conquered. [HOSE WHO CAST A GLANCE AT THEH Dbig captive grizzly out in Gdden Gate Park and have seen the ease with wiich he twists iron bars and displaces concrite rocks, can have some idea as to the power of the brutej but even then itis only faint. A grizzly only really exerts himself when he‘‘shows fight,” as the hunters call it. They are getting very scarce in California now, but every old-time hunter will tell you that the grizzly is a fore midable foe, perhaps the most to be feared ane tagonist that the hunter runs up against in hig checkered career. A hunter’s life is usually supposed to be a healthy life, but the wear and tear and cone stant nervous strain to which the genuine old« time hunters were put often toid severely on their constitutions. As & race they were a fine set of men—honest and true, fearless and gen- erous. But nature is nature in all men. Mr. W. F. Timms of Petaluma, for instance, isa good example. In hiscareer he hardly knew what fear was in the mountains with which he was so familiar, but he was brought to bay at last. About fifteen years ago that annoying and wasting disease, catarrh, made 1ts appearance, to be followed, of course, by dyspepsia and a score of other ills. Mr. Timms put on a bold face to the wretched state into which his health was getting, until complete nervous prostration put him, metaphorically speaking, in the dust. Then he quailed. He sought re. lief high and low—north, south, east and west he went and sent, searching for some one or something to allay his terrible malady, or, rather, complication of maladies. Not very long 8go hecame to San Francisco and dropped inte that grand institution for the cure of all diss eases, at the corner of Market, Stockton and Ellis streets—THE HUDSON MEDICAL INSTI. TUTE—andjtrom the moment of his consulting the physicians there he felt instinctively that he no longer had reason to fear the result of his battle for life. And late events show thatin this he was correct, for he has recently written the following letter, which speaks for itself: HUDSON MEDICALINSTITUTE—Gentlemen ¢ For fifteen years I had been afilicted seriously with dyspepsia and catarth and nervous pros- tration, and to such an_extent that life was in. deed a burden to me. It required no little will power to resist the temptation of self-destruce tion. I was treated by a great many prominent physicians, but_without any benefit until T went to the HUDSON MEDICAL INSTITUTE about a month ago, and have taken treatment since tbat time,andlam happy to say that with one month’s treatment I have been trans- formed intoan entirely different man. The change is wonderful. My catarrh and dyse pepsia are all fone, 410, my Nervous system ig In good condition’ the extreme_despondency and melancholy is remoyed, and Iam exceed« ingly happy and cheerful, and I can cheerfully recommend_the ‘Fhfiicinns of the HUDSON MEDICAL INSTITUTE as skillful, conscien tious and honorable physicians. Yours truly, . F, TIMMS. These are broad, straightforward, manly statements, which have the ring of honesty about them, but they are only of the same tenor as many hundreds of equally satisfactory utterances by those who have been cured at the HUDSON MEDICAL INSTITUTE. Amongst those who have voiced their sentiments of praise heartily may be mentioned Mr. H. G. Mulkey of Corvallis, Or., who says: “After take ing your treatment for ashort time I gained twelve pounds in weight and was wonderfull benefited. * * * Iam perfectly well and shall always speak well of the HUDSON MEDI- CAL INSTITUTE.” Mr. Fairchild of Stockton says: “Ican’trec ommend the Institute too highly,for I now feel that Iam perfectly and permanently restored to health.” Of “The Great Hudyan,” their splendid spe- cific for all nervous troubles, a gentieman write ing from San Luis Obispo, says: 1 was permanently cured in three months. 1 did not believe at first that Hudyan was a wonderful remedy. Iam now convinced that And so the good work goes on and on. And now it is conceded that the HUDSON MEDICAL INSTITUTE is one ot the greatest establish- ments in the world for the cure of all curable diseases. You can be cured thereif you can be cured at all, QUICKLY, QUIETLY, SCIEN« TIFICALLY AND SAFELY, AS WELL AS PER« MANENTLY.
