STOCKTON, CAL., Sept. 3.—For the first time since he was taken k. Governor Budd has consented to be interviewed by a mnewspaperman. Sitting astride b steamer-chair the Governor was looking over some books and papers when ap- proached by THE CAvLL correspondent.

You see I've been pretty You ought to see my body. Iwas thinking of going down and exhibiting in the circus on Banner Island to-day as the bony man.” The Governor seemed to be in good spirits and was much like his old self. “You see, I want to be near some point where I can hear every day from Sacra- mento,”’ he continued. “For this reason we will make points on the trip where we can telephone or telegraph. McCabe is there with my typewriter and messenger, and reports twice a day to Miss Todman, my execative secretary, who Is with me. Whatever business is imperative I have transacted, in order to have things cleaned up.

The rest of our party, consisting of my mother, father and a few close friends, will be quartered on the Merren. You can say that I won’t see any politicians or discuss politics,”” he added. ‘“‘Are you going to build a barbed wire fence about the Polliwog?” “Well, I guess Wiley,” referring to his negro attendant, “will be about as good. He will see that they can’t get to me. You can see that I am not fit to go into the worry of discussing political matters and listening to the ciaims of factions. There have not been many political matters of great importance that have come up dur- ing my illness, and I am very thankful for it. The different bureaus and commissions are making their reports and I notice they are cutting down expenses very materi- ally.” The Governor is ignorant of the row caused by the Lannigan-Welborn ietters and the outgrowth of them, as since they first made him worry himself sick all know ledge of the controversy has been kept from him. Miss Todman, the Gov- ernor’s executive secretary, said to-day: ““The Governor is doing very well now, e e Y Grateful Women Write U: From every corner of the country come thankful letters written by those who have been lifted into cheerful, vig- orous, healthy strength by Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription. Thousands - on - thousands of women have been relieved of the nerve-nagging drag of weakness and pain. They have been made better wives and better mothers by having perfect health restored, and without the humiliating exposure of examinations so generally insisted on by physicians.! The stereof treatment by *local plications ”"is seldom necessary, and ere is no reason why modest, sensitive women need submit to them. Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription is of r;mrcl_v vegetable composition and is perfectly harmless in any condition of the system. It exerts a wonderful sooth- ing, healing and strengthening power over woman’s delicate organism. It is an invigorating tonic for the whole sys- tem, and is almost an infallible specific for the peculiar weaknesses, irregulari- ties and painful derangements of woman, To these causes may be traced the trouble of tired, nervous, irritable, worn- out women. Careless, easy-going doctors frequently treat their women patients for biliousness, nervousness, dyspepsia, liver or kidney troubles, when the:real sick- mness is in the organs distinctly feminine, and no help can come till they are made perfectly strong and healthy in both structure and function which is brongth about in due time, by .the use of Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription.

If these politicians get after him again and start his nervousness once more he will not have the strength | he had at the commencement of this ill- ness. He must have absolute rest.” NMrs. Budd guards the door carefully, and allows no one to see her husband with- out an order from the doctor. T CEMENT. 4 CORNER i Work on Stockton Pavements Checked by an Advance in Prices. STOCKTON, Car., Sept. 3.—Some time ago the city authorities ordered a great many concrete sidewalks laid. They did i this in order to take advantage of the low | price at which material for walks could be obtained, and many property-owners, realizing that they could build a concrete walk for about the cost of a wooden one, and considering the greater durability of the former, asked permission from the Council to lay such a walk in front of their places. But while all this work was under way and progressing nicely a San Francisco firm got a corner on cement, and the price | advanced from $2 25 a barrel to $4 50. This sudden advance in the price of cement brought trouble on all sides. In the first place the contractors were affected. They calculated, of course, to buy their material as they would need it, and at the rate at which it was selling at the time they made | their estimates. Of course, if they carry | out their contract and must pay twice the | price they figured on for concrete they will | not find their work very profitable. A few ?lf' them, however, are attempting to do this, ! On the other hand they resort to every | | possible means to defeat the terms under ich they have agreed to work, attempt- | ing to use an inferior brand of cement, or, if not an inferior brand, cement that has been injured. These efforts on the part of the contractors to use damaged or inferior { material haye made it necessary for Super- intendent of Streets Bidwell to appoint an expert to see that the specifications are carried out. Since the advent of the new roads there is a disposition on the parts of the Council | and property-owners to improve the city, { and more street work is being done than has been undertaken in years. RAN AWA;‘WITEI’A CIRCUS. FEscapade of a Son of District Attorney Foote. STOCKTON, CaL., sept. 3.—W. 8. Foote, United States District Attorney, located at San Francisco, arrived here to-day noon in search of his son, who had run away and was following the Wallace circus. Young oote was not alone, for in his company was another San Francisco youth who thought he would like to see how circus | girls looked behind the scenes. The name of the second youth was not learned. His father arrived in the company of Mr. Foote Sr. 1t is supposed that a telezram vpreceded the gentlemen, for when they arrived they were met at the railroad station by Sheri! | Cunn who remarked to Mr. Foot Vell, I've got the boys all right, | and they are staked out in the southern part of town.” The Sheriff then took Mr. Foote and his companion to see the prisoners. The latter vere taken back to San Francisco on the o’clock train this afternoon. . Too Familiar With a Tiger. STOCKTON, CaL., Sept. 3.—As the cages of the animals were moved into the me- n e tent at Banner Island, when the | Wallace show was getting ready for its parade this morning, an old man named Ribn, who lives in the eastern part of town, got too familiar with one of the { royal Bengal tigers. The queen of the jungle resented this, and reaching out her E’ml paw caught hold of Rihn’s shoulder. alf a dozen circus men grabbed him at once and pulled him from the clutches of the tiger before the beast did more than tear the clothing from his shoulder and cause a few injuries that were not very serious. ON TRAL AT CARSON Arraingment of the First of the Washoe County Coiners. Methods of the Gang Explained by a Member Who Turned State’s Evidence. CARSON, NEv., Sept. 3.—The case of Christian Grass, charged with counterfeit- ing, came up in the United States court to- day. Grass was arrested by Special Agent Harris in March last, in the mountains about eighteen miles from Reno, in Washoe County. Other members of the gang had been arrested by the United States Marshal in Oregon. Detective Harris was the first witness. He told how he got on the trail of the ac- cused and found his camp in Washoe County. He found the counterfeiters’ out- it about 400 yards from the camp, and captured a numwber of molds and dies. These were exhibited in the courtroom. Frank Jennings, the head counterfeiter, who turned State’s evidence testified that he had made the counterfeit gold pieces and Grass was to assist and pass them. He also assisted in helping the others escape, and had a share in the profits. He admit- ted that he expected a light sentence by reason of his testimony. The witness had made no promise of what Grass’ share was to be, but expected that all hands were to have an equal share. Money, the witness said was plenty when things got to work- ing right, and there was seldom any trou- ble about the *“divy.” Jennings gavea detailed description of the operations of the gang and described the chemical solu- tion in which the counterfeit coins were pickled to make them look like genuine gold pieces. Editor Lemmon_was released from jail to-day by Judee Hawley, he having served four Twenty-five dollars of his fine was remitted. All the defendants in the mint case pleaded not guilty. Heney's trial was set for November 11, Jones’ November 14, and Piper's November 18. ek s Spokane’s Chief of Police Removed. SPOKANE, Wasn., Sept. 3.—Che City Council without warning this afternoon removed Peter Mertz, Chief of Police, by a vote of 7to 3. The necessary votes were secured by an accident. After the intro- duction of the resolution to remove Mertz, on the rollcall the vote stood 6 to 4 against the resolution. Councilman Byrd, a sup- porter of Mertz, thinking the resolution had carried, changed his vote to aye, that he might move to reconsider. His vote made the necessary seven, and he did not discover his mistake until after the Coun- cil had adjourne il Embezzlement ot Seattle, SEATTLE, Wasn., Sept. 3.—Fred J. Church, a son of the famous landscape .painter, and a graduate of Yale, is an em- bezzler, havin, of the funds of the Oregon Improvement Company, of which he was cashier.

SAN JOSE, Car., Sept. 3.—Judge Rey- nolds’ entire time this afternoon was taken up by insanity examinations. The first case was that of Patrick Dunn, who, while on a protracted spree, became possessed of the idea that it was his duty to go forth and preach the Gospel to the wicked. He was arrested at Santa Clara, where he was going around holding family revival meetings. As Dunn seemed per- fectlf{ sane and said the mania was the result of mixing beer and whisky Judge Reynolds discharged him, after advising him in the future todrink nothing but straight whisky. William Hocking, an 18-year-old boy of Almaden, imagined his mother was trying to poison him, and he had threatened her life. He was committed to Agnews. Thomas Riley, who was arrested while terrorizing women in the vicinity of the Julian road, was next examined. Riley is an Irishman, and he told how in his native land he had become possessed of St. Pat- rick’s secret in clearing Ireland of snakes. He had seen a great many reptiles in the vicinity and was using his powers only to clear the place of the many-colored and many-headed snakes in that vicinity. Judge Reynolds committed him to Agnews.

Mrs. Fallon went to Los Gatos a few months ago and since then she and the boys who live with her have gained considerable notoriety. The quartet was taken before Justice Beggs, who remanded Mrs. Fallon to _the County Jail in default of $100 bail, and re- leased the boys on their own recognizance. The trial of the woman and the three boys will take place on September 10. For the past month the party has been encamped in the San Tomas Valley, and the ranchhouses in that vicinity have felt the effects of numerous raids. T0 GUARD AGAINST DISEASE.

Mockbee, John Snyder, Herman Salzen and other residents of Mountain View, held a con- sultation with District Attorney Herring- ton to-day in regard to vetitioning the Board of Supervisors for the formation of a protection district, to take in New Mountain View and all the territory drained by the Stevens Creek road running down into the marshes.

Saloon-Keepers Act in Defiance of @ Town Ordinance. SANTA ANA, Cav., Sept. 3.—The local fight between the saloon and the temperance people of Santa Ana opened to-day through the directions of the State Liquor-dealers’ Association at San Fran- cisco. Some months ago a city ordinance was passed prohibiting the saloons from using screens, chairs, tables, etc., in rooms where liquor was sold, and raising the license to $800 per year. This reform was brought about by the temperance peovle, and the Ii%uor men began to retaliate by orzanizing a branch of the State Liquor-dealers’ Asso- ciation, through whose efforts an attempt is now being made to test the constitution- ality of the ordinance. A saloon was opened to-day and run in open defiance of the ordinance. The City Council called a special meeting and re- voked the license of the saloon-keeper who opened unlawfully. Arrests are expected to follow to-morrow. e S FATALLY HURT AT LA GRANDE. Horse and Rider Terribly Torn on a Barbed- Wire Fence. LA GRANDE, Or., Sept. 3.—Adventur- ous Joe Bagley made a bet und tried to carry it out on a farm near here. As are- sult he will probably die. If his life be saved he will be a miserable cripple. He had a bet that he could mount and ride into docile submission a wild, fierce cayuse. He selected for the scene of the trial a country lane fenced one side with barbed wire. The cayuse went on a wild run as soon as Bagley was mounted. He could not control the animal, which leaped astride the wire fence. Both horse and rider were horribly mangled. The animal is dead, and Bagley was o terribly cut he will lose one leg and an arm. He s not expected to_ live. His friends have sent him to a hospital at Portland. NEWS OF SANTA BARBARA, An Attempt to Acclimatize Strange Species of Shrubs and Trees. Small Sum Awarded a Man Who Sued the City—Judge Nichols = Very Iil. SANTA BARBARA, CaL., Sept. 3.— Down on the corner of State and Gutierrez streets, a half block from the Chapala- street depot and adjoining the beautiful grounds of the Brown residence, an im- portant botanical enterprise has been un- der way for two months, though even the residents in the neighborhood have been ignorant of the fact. The Southern Cali- fornia Acclimatizing Association, having for its head Dr. F. Franceschi, formerly a leading official of the great botanical gardens of Italy, has been for weeks busily engaged in planting in this quarter block of ground, containing a little more than an acre, 250 species of trees and wooded exotie shrubs never before grown in this country. These are set out in pairs, mak- ing 500 in all. This collection of rare shrubs and trees represents 85 out ot the 200 known and classified orders in growths of this charac- ter. Around the inside border of this lot, to form an airy and graceful background, have been set clnmps of the giant bam- boo of India, a rapid grower, which attains a height of seventy-five feet. ' This lot, lying directly on the line of the railroad, where all trains entering Santa Barbara must pass, is admirably situatea for an exhubit of this sort. In another part of the city Dr. Fran- ceschi is beginning to plant on a vacant lot, comprising nearly five acres of land, the largest cohection of bamboos in the world, including many rare and unusual species. WON A HOLLOW VICTORY. Small Damages Awarded Eldred in His Swit Against the City. SANTA BARBARA, CaL., Sept. 3.—The suit of A. Eldred vs. The City of Santa Barbara, long pending in the Superior Court, was decided to-day, the jury award- ing the plaintiff $100, a bagatelle compared with the sums he has expended in prose- cuting the action. Eldred has a pretty piece of property occupying a quarterblock on the corner of Dalavina and Anapamu streets, with a nice cottage and highly cultivated grounds to further beautify his'place. A few years ago he graded the adjacent lot at his own expense, laid a cement walk around the place and planted between walk and gutter magnolias and other shade trees, alter- nating with beautiful roses, which he as- siduously cultivated. Some eighteen months ago the eity tore up the streets around him, changed the grade and so gouged away the earth from the roots of his trees and shrubs that most of them withered and died. The old man at once commenced suit for damages in a large sum, \ B2k SANTA MONICA TO BOND. Foters Decided in Favor of a Modern Sewer System. SANTA MONICA, Cav., Sept. 3.—The Crescent City beside the sea is ablaze with enthusiasm over the overwhelming vic- tory of the progressionists in the sewer bond election held here to-day. The ques- tion at issue was the bonding of the town for a sewer system. Out of a possible 500 votes in town there wers cast 7 for and 51 against. To add to the citizens’ enthusiasm, pre- liminary work on the Santa Fe iron pleasure wharf on the soyth side has been started, and there is a_certainty that one will be built by the Southern Pacific on the north side. Judge Nichols Seriously Ill. SANTA BARBARA, CaLn, Sept. 2.— Judge W. 1. Nichols, one of the best- known attorneys of Santa Barbara County, had a stroke of apoplexy at a late hour last night, and lies in a precarious condition. R e EXCURSION TO VALLEJO.

Two Candidates Captured and Are Made to Deliver Speeches. MANY OLD STUDENTS RETURN. Two Hundred Placed Thelr Names on the Register on the Open- ing Day. STANFORD UNIVERSITY, CAL., Sept. 3.—The first display of interclass spirit manifested itself this morning on the quad- rangle. A score of boisterous 98 men, plumed with their new sophomoric dig- nity, marched down the north arcade in two lines, ten abreast, keeping step and periodically yelling: “Chee hee! Chee kee! Chee ha! ha! ha! Ninety-eight! Ninety-eight! Rah! Rah! Rah!” At the main entrance they surrounded two trembling freshmen, extracted from each an impromptu speech, then made them link arms and march between the two lines three times around the quad- rangle. The yelling seriously interrupted the freshman examinations, which were being conducted at that time; and if a large percentage of failures should result they may be attributed to sudden fright.' The junior element is assiduously at work, infusing all manner of deviltry into the unsophisticated bosom of the fresh- men. Every tank in the vicinity has been picked out for a coat of paint, and it is said the freshmen even have designs upon the lofty stone smokestack, which may be seen from miles around, and affords an unsur- passable site for class banners, emblems, etc. Butitdoes not yet appear what de- vice will be resorted to in affixing paint or flags to the top of a perpendicular tube of solid masonry 175 feet high. A few rash acts of greater or less offense will prob- ably inform the community of the stran- gers’ advent, and then in due time, clad in fighting clothes, they will face their tradi- tional enemy, the sophomore, and the oval back of Encina,and be formally initiated into the mysteries and felicities of the col- lege rush. At present the newcomer is learning what an unpardonable sin it is to smoke on the quadrangle or to pick the flowers. He has been cautioned not to crossthe quad .in daytime, and has been warned never to miss daily chapel services in the morning at 8 o’clock. Yesterday he walked through the main entrance, strolled into the Registrar’s office, and pompously asked Dr. 0. L. Elliott to “show him where that quadrangle is.” Tater in the day he was looking for a course of work under Pro- fessor Ben Harrison. The students of law, especially the seniors, are in sore perplexity because of a conflict of hours between Professor Ab- bott’s course in real proverty and Dr. Howard’s two courses in English and American Constitutional History. These three branches practically constitute the bulk of a large number of courses, and, at the present outlook, the students are obliged to sacrifice either the real property or the history. All three courses are unusually fine. One student comes to Stanford this year from the University of Chicago, ostensibly to take Abbott’s course. Heisa young lawyer, and says the course here in real property is the finest offered in the United States. J. N. Pomeroy of San Francisco, the member of the law faculty, is on the cam- pus, preparing to take up his new work. He will offer courses in equity and con- tracts. Professor Dayidson, the new professor of French, arrived from the East this morn- ing. Very flattering reports have preceded bim to the coast. The Daily Mail and Ex- press of Toronto, Canada, said in a recent issue: F. J. A. Davidson, M.A., of Toronto Univer- sity has been appointed, assistant professor of French in" the Leland Stanford Jr. University, California. For the past three years sr. Da- vidson has held with much distinction the po- | sition of fellow in Italian and Spanish in To- ronto University and his valuable services were immediately recognized by his appointment to an instructorship in the same languages on the expiration of his term as fellow. He took a yery brilliant undergraduate course in mod- ern languages, in addition to classics, for the first two years and graduated in the class of ’90 first in modern languages, obtaining also the French prose prize in competition with the whole university. In the following summer he proceeded to & post-graduate course in Ger- many, spending also some time in France. He worked for two years with distinguished suc- cess in Leipzig under Professors Brugmann and Birch-Hirschfield, taking Romance lan- guages as his special field for study. On the whole, Toronto University has never turned out a graduate of more brilliant promise, and the excellent appointment which he has just obtained is no more than & just recognition of his merit. Two hundred old students registered to- day, which is quite a good showing for the first day. The old students will continue registering Wednesday, and on Thursday the new students will be enrolled. PAJARO VALLEY PROTEST. Hints of Corruption in the Courthouse Affair "at Santa Cruz. Strong Resolutlons of Censure Adopted at a Watsonville Mass-Meeting. SANTA CRUZ, CaL., Sept. 3.—At Wat- sonville citizens met last night to take action in regard to the building of the courthouse in this city. The citizens of | the Pajaro Valley were out in full force, and the following resolutions were adopted : WHEREAS, Certain statements have been made through the press of this State and mu“fiy' reflecting on the integrity of the Board of Supervisors of Santa. Cruz County, in relation to the construction of the pro- courthouse, and whereas, we believe that if corruption has not existed, at least very slack business methods have prevailed from the very first proceedings had in connec- tion with this matter until the present time, and that as citizens and taxpayers of Santa Cruz County we can no longer stand idly by, but, having the welfare of the entire county at heart, we are determined to take such action as may seem best for our common protection; therefore, be it 5 Resolved, That we raise the necessary funds to carry out in a vigorous and effective manner our protest against the construction of courthouse under existing circumstances, that we protest most earnestly against the methods le’m loyed by the board in the con- struction of the same. ‘Resolved, That we organize, elect permanent officers and appoint such committees as may be necessary & carry out the objects of this meeting. £ Resolved, That we enter our carnest protest against the construction of a courthouse on & lot that the county has no title to, anl we re- quest the Board of Supervisors to dispose of whatever realty the county may have legal title to_at the present propcsed courthouse site, and invest the same in a suitable site for county buildings elsewhere; and be it further Resolved, That it is the sense of this meeting of the people of Pajaro Valley that the county erect & suitable courthouse building on grounds actually owned by the county and at 8 cost not to exceed $40,000. The executive committee, consisting of A. N. Judd, George Brewington, Owen Tuttle, J. M. Herbert and Ed White, came to Santa Cruz to-day with the intention of appearing before the Supervisors, but found they were out of town viewing a new bridge. They left a request for a conference to-morrow. CERE S ARRAIGNED AT MARYSVILLE. 4 Plea of Not Guilty Entered by Bandit Brady. MARYSVILLE, CaL., Sept. 3.—Bandit ‘“Jack’’ Brady was brought before Judge Davis in the Superior Court this morning for arraignment on the charge of the mur- der of Sheriff L. J. Bogard on the night of March 30 last. Brady was arraigned under the name of Harry Williams, and stated that that was his true name. He entered a plea of “‘not guilty”” to the cnarge. The time for fixing the date of the trial was continued until to-morrow morning. Brady’s attorneys stated that they had not consulted with him in regard to wit- nesses. Brady is the same polite and agreeable person that he has been ever since his arrest, and his continement in quarters that are cramped, uncomfortable and any- thing but pleasant does notappear to have affected his good nature in the least. He has talked very freely fo officers and vis itors, but it is not believed that he has said anything that will implicate him with the crime with which he is charged. In fact he is generally regarded as one of those rare individuals who can talk a great deal, but when his harangue is carefully sifted it is discovered that really nothing of consequence has been said. R FRUIT FOR THE EAST. Shipments Made Since the Re- duction in Tariffs. SAGRAMENTO, Cavn., Sept. 3.—The special train consisting of nineteen cars of canned fruit shipped by the S8acramento Packing and Drying Company yesterday for the East is only a portion of the ship- ments which will be made, as the reduc- tion in eastbound tariffs have encouraged heavy shipments, and the company has already sent over thirty carioads under the new rate. A better idea of these shipments can be gained by knowing that they represent about 400,000 cans, weighing over 1,000,000 pounds and valued at over $30,000. This money all comes to California from East- ern States and foreign lands. e FIRE AT ORLAND. Heavy The Union Hotel and a Saloon Burned to the Ground.

Two Bullets Took Effect, and One May Result.In the Woman’s Death. FRESNO, CarL., Sept. 3.—Martin Back this morning shot and probably fatally wounded his wife, whom he mistook for a burglar. Back is a bartender in an uptown caloon. Last night he drew his month’'s wages. He was very much in fear that burglars would enter the house and steal the money. Before he shot his wife he had been up twice, looking for imaginary burglars. Mrs. Back got up to get a drink of water, and as she returned, though walking stealthily to avoid arousing her husband, the creaking of the floor awakened him. Back suddenly arose, and seeing the form of a person in the room, grabbed his pistol, which was lying on a chair beside the bed, and fired two shots in succession at his wife. One took effect in the right arm and the other in the right breast. Mrs. Back is resting quite easily to-night, but the wound in the breast isa serious one. Mr. and Mrs. Back are Germans, and were married only a few months ago. ELECTRIC POWER FOR FRESNO. A Franchise Granted After a Heated Discussion. FRESNO, CAL., Sept. 3.—A strong fight was made at the meeting of the City Trus- tees to-night to have the board deny a petition from the San Joaquin Electric Company for a franchise to run poles and wires in the city. Thiscompany is con- structing an enormous electric power plant on the north fork of the San Joaquin, thirty - five miles east of here, with a view of bringing electric power to this city. It will be a crowning event in Fresno’s history when this power shall turn her wheels of industry, and it is only a ques- tion of a few months when this will be e petition of th toni e 1tion o e compan; -1, for a Klnchise for fiuypyenyra.o Tkfll %(:::i §as company offered strenuous opposition. 't was contended that the ordinance grant- ing the franchise, which had already been prepared for the Trustees to act upon, was 80 broad in its scope and of such vital im- portance to Fresno that consideration of it should not be so hasty. The ordinance was also obiected to on the ground that a 1rar_nc‘linu for fifty years was too long a period. After several hours’ discussion the ordi- nance granting the petition was passed by a unanimous vote of the Trustees. Courthouse Appraisement Accepted. FRESNO, CaL., Sept. 3.—The Board of Bupervisors to-day received and accepted the report of ‘Appruiser H. W. Downing g;‘nrtt:e ap] raltsl:ament of the loss of the ouse by the recent fire. The loss is fixed at $36,256. The insurance companies could not agree upon the selection of their appraisers, and two appraisements by dif- {ferent adjusters were made. They agreed on the loss, however. The appraisement of $36,256 is considered a low figure and does not meet with much approval. Take No Substitute.. Gail Borden Eagle Brand e CONDENSED MILK the and | THE FIFTH TEMPERAMENT. “The Intellect of Man With the Sensitiveness of Woman.” WONEN MUST BE SUPPOSED T0 HAVE IT It Is Claimed That There Are Only Four Temperaments, but There Are Adherents of Dr. Gregory’s Theory That There Are Flve—A Striking Case in Point. T IS UNFORTUNATE THAT TO A CERTAIN extent the term “nerve” has got into disrepute in'this Western world, because of the slangy way in which it has been made to do duty for what would be more fittingly termed brazen eftrontery. It is really one of the greatest adjuncts to the per- fection of human being as we know it,and the quotation that “A stock of good intentions is a very poor set-off for a want of nerve” is not far from the truth. Dr. Gregory recognized that there was a fifth temperament which he called tne “nervous” in addition to the four which have been regularly acknowledged, viz.: the Sanguine; the Phlegmatic: the Choleric. and the Melancholic, But whether he was right or whether Pritchard, who has rejected his theories, was more correct, is & moot question. But that there are men who have much more delicate organisms then the majority of thei fellows is indubitable, and they have very properly been described as having “the intellect of man with the sensitiveness of woman.” These men, while being particnlarly biessed in some ways by nature, for from this class practically all the painters, musicians, literary men and poets come, are more liable to a disarrangement of theie health through nervous diseases than the ordinary workingman. It is also said to be the organization of genius, and it is not at all uncommon to see men of absolutely good character suffering from what appears (o be a similar attack to that which often follows on a life of dissipation, because of the peculiar temperament with which nature has pro- vided them. A very clear case in point is that of the Hon. W. W. Bachelder, the State Engineer, of Denver, Colo. Mr. Bachelder some time ago was the victim of an attack of severe nervous debility which threat ened not only to deprive him of his good health and natural vivacity, but his very life was in the utmost danger. So very serious was his case that anumber of reputable physicians told him that he was, certain to snccumb to the blasting disease, that there was absolutely no hope for him. And 1tdid seem =0 untfl & wann. friend and admjrer suggested that he should write a full statement of his case for the consideration of the famous spe- cialists of that grand institution, the Hudson Medi~ cal Institute, and Mr. Bachelder—as a drowning man eatches at a straw—did so. That they cured him is now history, and he has seen fit to write them thanking tnem in the following letter: “DENVER (Colorado)—HUDSON MEDICAL IN- sTITUTE—Gentlemen: 1 find but afew words in the English language to_express my appreciation for the benefit that has been bestowed upon me by the HUDSON MEDICAL INSTITUTE. “Nota great many mouths ago I felt as it my days were numbered.

JOHN WATSON says: “I am a well man; I know it, feel it and realize it.” G. C.
