On the main floor every foot of available space is fully accupied and the exhibits are new and variable, but the bicycle is foremost on e hand. There are exhib- its of various makes arranged in the most temping forms, and it is need- Ie to add that the numerous votaries of the public craze devote hours to the close examination of their different The displays from the various ge firms are fully as large as in former years, and would seem to indicate that, reports to the contrary, the bicycle has failed to drive them from the field. Several of the electric motors were tested this afternoon and fully proved their ciency, but owing to the fact that all the belting is new and stretches badly the various machinery exhibits will not be in smooth running shape until to-morrow. The agricultural implement department is fairly well filied, and there are several new and progressive ideas in plows, landslides and the various other implements. One of the greatest improvements formu- lated by the new board of directors, and one that gives universal satisfaction to the poul dealers of the State, is the removal of their display from the park inclosure, where in former years it was relegated to a retired spot where few people ever pene- trated, to the interior of the pavilion. It has been given a very prominent place in the south wing, and cannot fail to attract the attention of the thousands of visitors who will v the building during the com- ing days of the State Fair. Such poultry as has already arrived is par exellence and gives token of being the finest strains of blood of the various species on exhibition at the present time. The Jocal exhibition of Mrs. E. A. Murry is at- tracting special note and two light Brahma hens, weighing 9 pounds each, although not in full flesh, are the admired of all fanciers. In the art department the hanging of the various pieces has been completed and the work of numbering and cataloguing is rapidly nearing the end. The displays of electric apparatus are all in place and will be connected with the power to-morrow. The exhibits of local merchants are very complete and 1n many. cases very exten- sive. One of the principal attractions of the fair this year is the State Fair Daily, which is ably edited by J. J. Hoag. Inits columns are to be found someable articles, both scientific and literary. His booth, which occupies a prominent spot in the floor space of the building, also represents Tue CALL, and the efficient arrangement of signs attracts the attention of all. The stock exhibits are arriving rapidly at the park, and the first parade will fully equal that of former years. Under the efficient management of Director Terry there has as yet been not one murmur of dissatisfaction from the owners of stock, which is in marked contrast with the state of affairs in former years. Every want of the proprietor of stock is filled immediately and efficiently. fiThe city is rapidly assuming its garb3 of carnival colors and business houses along the line of march sre becoming a perfect mass of broad streamers of red, green anfl yellow, while in places the gleam of vari- colored electric lights give a faint idea of the bath of magnificent electric decora- tions into which the city will be plunged on the evening of the 9th of September. Many of the leading business firms will display allegorical representations. Hol- brook, Merrill & Stetson’s building will be surmounted by a representation of an electric car, denoting the present method of locomotion, while the balcony of the building will contain a representation, life size, of an old-fashioned prairie schooner drawn by oxen, conveying a family of pioneers across the plains, three horsfmen accompanying the group. These will be < brilliantly lighted by small incandescent lights, as will be the entire building. In addition to the electric car that sur- mounts the byilding there is a life-sized Work on the various floats is rapidly being pushed to completion and many ad- ditions are being made. In the National float the drapery surrounding the main platform will be replacea by natural soil and grasses, and will more vividly present a camp invaded by the huge grizzly that adorns the corner of the float. The throne on the other float will be supported on vividly colored electric bouquets, and the front of the car will bear a huge vase of electric poppies, which are so much spoken of as the distinctive flower of the State. The floats of the railroad shop depart- ments are also evolving new additions in the minds of their designers, which will bring renewed attractions. Grand Marshal A. J. Johnson is rapidly perfecting the list of positions of the vari- ous organizations in the line of march of the grand parade, and on all sides the utmost enthusiasm reigns. The room committee has been putting forth strenu- ous efforts in the listing of available apart- ments at reasonable rates, and expects to be able to accommodate all comers. Every train is bringing an influx of visitors, and letters are being received from all portions of the State making inquiries for accom- modations for large parties. To-morrow will be the opening d: the fourteenth annual shoot of the Sportsman’s Association. The various rs throughout the city are ng sportsmen. Nearly all the noted shots of the Stute have arrived, or are on'incoming trains, and the mana- gers report that at the least calculations there will be seventy-five knights of the trigger on hand in the morningto take part in the smashing of the bluerocks. Among the arrivals are George Zantcraft of Green Valley. H. T. Bangs, Modesto; Martinez Chick and E. J. Judd of San Diego, Richardson of Solano, Horning of Marysville, Crittenden Robinson and Ed Fay of San Francisco, C. J. Hass and J. H. Shields of Stockton, and scores of other: The grounds at Agricultural Park have been fitted with every accommodation for the comfort of the visitors, and new elec- tric traps have been placed in position. Eighty dozen live pigeons, constituting the first shipment, will arrive in the city to- morrow, with others to follow. men of talent from adjoining towns are embarrassed at the array of noted shots they will have to encounter, and express a determination to occupy the background until a few scores have been made, so as to be fully cognizant of what they will have to compete with, but all unite in declaring that the State shot of 1895 will be by long odds the greatest affair of the trigger that has ever taken place west of the Rockies. e FAVORITES IN FRONT. The Talent Had No Trouble in Picking the Winners. SACRAMENTO, CAL., Sept. 3.—The at- tendance to-day at the park was a aecided improvement over the opening day,and | the betting ring is beginning to assume a busy look. Every incoming train brings | fresh re-enforcements of horsemen, and | the “Standing room only” sign will soon be displayed in the hotel entrances. One | of the most delightful features of the racing is the excellent selections rendered by the picked band of soloists, which passes the tedious delays between heats most pleas- | antly. This was trotters’ day most distinctly, and the first choices swept the card. The track was in grand condition and fast time was the rule. As yet the looked-for torrid wave has not reached here, a refreshing breeze making ideal racing weather. The starters for the two-year-old stake, valued at $280, were called out promptly at :30 o’clock by the bell-tap. There were but two starters, Palita and Don Roberts. The former, a strapping chestnut filly fuliy sixteen hands high,a daughter of the dead Palo Alto, with a record of 2:194, so far outclassed her opponent that no pools were sold on the result, the betting being confined to time. In the books it was to 1 that the filly would go below 0. Although paced by a running horse part | of the journey in both heats, old Father Time proved the victor, for the best she could do was 2:21 in the first and 2:203 in the second heat. She was skillfully handled by John Phippen of the Palo Alto stock farm, where the filly was bred. Th trot was called ni with eight starters. Ethel Downs waxed a redhot favorite throughout the betting, and after dropping the nrst heat to Lady Thornhill, won in three straight heats, tipioeing the second in 2:16 and reducing her record made at Napa 214 seconds. Dr. Puff, Lady Thornhill and Native State all had friends and showed fine bursts of speed, but were no match for the victor. She cameouta 1 to 5 chance in the books for the deciding heat. The winner is a slashing daughter of Boodle, the second of his get to score for the word, the other, Thompson, recently taking a record of 2:15 at Woodland. She is the property of Montgomery & Hos- tetter, a wealthy San Jose firm. and if symmetry of conformation and exquisite action count for anything, her record made to-day will have a still harder tumble be- fore the season is over. The concluding race of the day, the 2:40 class trot, with six starters, gave promises of being a hotly contested affair in the opening heat, but Charivari, driven by Tom Snider, proved to have too much re- serve speed. In the open pools Charivari sold for $20, Anita brought $10 and the field $19. Later the betting switched and Anita had first call. Both sold at even money 1n the books for the first heat. Charivari drew the inside position, but Rodriguez, behind Anita, drove desper- ately for the heat, passing Charivari at the quarter, taking the pole and going to the half in 1:07. The effort was too much and Charivari passed her in the stretch, taking the heat by a length in 2:203, with Coal Dust third. The mare was sent out in the second heat with the same result, Charivari win- ning, with Snider looking back at the field. When the confilusing heat was called the books held Charivariat1to 7. Havey was uf) behind Anita, and Charles Durfee, the Los Angeles reinsman, held the straps over Fannie C, an exploded ‘‘good thing.”” Tt did not alter the result, for the fayorite led all the way around the circle, and won in a walk, with Fannie C second and the leg-weary Anita third.

SEATTLE, WasH., Sept. 3.—Congress- man C. N. Clark of Missouri is in the city, having paid a visit yesterday to the naval stgtion at Port Orchard. In an interview on the Presidential situation he expressed himself from a Republican standpoint as favoring McKinley, saying: “We have ;lflemy of good men, but Mec- Kinley is really my ideal, that is, his views on the tariff question and protection seem most to my liking.” Carlisle, Congressman Clark believes, will be the Democratic standard-bearer. A SANTA ROSK SHOTING, Howard Chenoweth Fired Upon While Seated in His Cabin. Two Charges Passed Within a Few Inches of the Intended Victim’s Head. SANTA ROSA, Carn., Sept. 3.—Howard Chenoweth had & narrow escape from being murdered in his cabin, near Santa Rosa, Sunday night. Two gun shots were fired through the house by unknown parties, both charges narrowly missing Cheno- weth’s heaa. Chenoweth heard a noise just before the shots were fired. His dog barked, but he did not think any one was around the place. Had the gun been aimed an inch lower the top of Chenoweth’s head would have been blown off. No trace of the man who did the shooting has been discovered. JUDGE PRESSLEY’S WORTH. Resolutions of Respect by the Bar of So- noma County. SANTA ROSA, CaL., Sept. 3.—The com- mittee appointed by the Judge of the Su- perior Court of Sonoma county to draft suitable resolutions of respect to the mem- ory of the late Judge J. G. Pressley sub- mitted a report of which the following is a part: As & Tudge it was his steady aim to sscertain the truth and to advance justice. In the prac- tice of law, when & case was submitted to him, his first effort was to find out the truth of the facts and then the truth of the law, and he 1d never deviate from what he believed to the truth and justice of the whole case. her in his private nor in his professional would he tolerate any compromise with fraud or wrong. Asa lawyer he was a prudent and a safe counselor; as & Judge he was above even a ion of partiaiity or prejudice. He was a genial, kind-hearted neighbor and & true and faithful friend. After the adoption of the resolutions court adjourned out of respect to the Judge’s memory REV. MR. ANGWIN'S FAREWELL. Santa Rosans Deeply Regret the Pastor's Departure. SANTA ROSA, Car,, Sept. 3.—Rev. A Angwin preached his farewell sermon at the Third-street Methodist Church Sunday evening. The church was crowded. On the platform were Rev. T. W. Aikinson, Rev. B. F. Sargent, Rev. Dr. Shephard and Rev. J. H. Schneider, all of whom made fitting remarks in regard to Mr. Angwin and his leave taking. Rey. Mr. Angwin has taken into church membership during his five years’ pastor- ate 200 persons. He has married seventy- five couples and buried fifty-five persons. Mr. Angwin and his family will leave Santa Rosa to-morrow. Last night a fare- well reception was held at the church. It was largely attended. Mrs. George Allen, in a neat speech, presented Mr. and Mrs. Angwin with a number of useful articles. SUED BY THE COUNTY. Opening of the Case Against Ex-Treas- wurer Stofen’s Bondsmen. SANTA ROSA, CaL., Sept. 3.—The suit of Sonoma County against the bondsmen of P. N. Stofen, ex-County Treasurer, is on trial before Judge Dougherty in the Su- perior Court. Last December Stofen was robbed of nearly $3000, thrown into a vault and left to smother. The county made a demand on his bondsmen for the amount of the loss. They refused to pay, whereupon the county brought action against them. In reply the bondsmen pleaded the robbery as their defense. The county demurred, alleging robbery was not a proper defense. The demurrer was argued to-day, but no decision was reached, ZLungarettl’s Accomplice Captured. SANTA ROSA, CAL., Sept. 3.—Berrini, the Italian who ran away with Lungaretti, who slashed Merchant Bacigalupi with a knife Sunday night, was captured here to- night and is in jail. He says he went with Lungaretti eight miles into the country, but declines to say anything about the J— rection Lungaretti took from that point. He will be held ona charge of aidinga criminal to escape from justice. AR AT, Murder Near Kamloops. KAMLOOPS, B. C., Sept. 3.—The body of an Indian was found on the Canadian “Pacific Railroad track seven miles east of here to-day. There was a bullet-hole in the right breast. It appears that the In- dian was murdered and hisbody placed on the tracks, in the hope that it would be mutilated by the tramn and conceal the crime. e Disappearance of a Colusa Youth. COLUSA, Caw, Sept. 8.—Charles King, the 17-year-old son of C. J. King, disap- peared from the ranch of 0. J. Kilgore, near Sycamore, last Sunday, ana has not since been seen. The surrounding country has been scoured by searching parties, but without avail. P S Tynching Threatened. FRANKFORT, Ky., Sept. 3.—William Lane, the man accused of the murder of the two Rodenbaughs at Versailles, and who was removed here for protection from a mob, will be taken to Versailles to-mor- row for trial, and it is generally believed that a lynching is a certainty. The Frank- fort officials are prepared to receive any sort of a mob. A detachment of the State militia is sleeping at the jail to-night. e e o Holmes* Blackmailing Scheme. PHILADELPHIA, Pa., Sept. 3.—Not- withstanding the vigilance of the officers Homes has put in operation a new black- mailing scheme. He has written an auto- biography in which the names of a large number of respectable people are intro- duced 1n such & manner as to cast sus- piciou on their character. On the pay- m‘eint of money these names will be omit- ted. PLECTEY sy Developed a Cyclone. QUINCY, IrL., Sept. 3.—The residents of the small town of Kinderhook were alarmed to-day at the appearance of a storm which developed a cyclone just far enough south of the place to pass over without doing any more damage than de- stroying a few outhouses and trees. Two Bold Robberies by Masked Burglars at Clements. SLEEPING MEN AROUSED. Made to Hand Over Their Cash to the Midnight Visitors. SALOON AND DWELLING LOOTED. One Victim Who Protested Slashed With a Caseknife by the Thieves. STOCKTON, CarL.,, Sept. 3.—Two bold robberies were commitred at Clements last night between the hours of 12and 1 o’clock. Two masked men entered a saloon kept by aman named Early Knave, and disar- ranged things generally about the place. They left an empty whisky bottle, the con- tents of which they had drunk, on the bar, together with a beer glass, but everything else m the room was strewn about the floor. g Then the burglars entered a room ad- joining the saloon, in which the proprie- tor, Mr. Knave, tlept, and awakened him. He asked them what they wanted, and they replied they wanted his money. He protested against this, and they took a large caseknife that was on a table near by and made several attempts to stab him. Only a few flesh wounds were inflicted. Mr. Knave, seeing that it was useless, made no further efforts to resist the rob- bers. They then went through the pockets of his clothes and secured about $48. After they had robbed the saloon they went‘to the railroad station-house and took all the money the telegraph agent, A. D. Wilder, had. They made their en- trance through a window in the side of the room in which Wilder slept. One of them held the window open while the other entered the room. The robber asked Wilder for his money. Wilder got the money he had, which amounted to about $4 50, and also offered his watch. The rob- ber declined to take the watch, however, saying he had no use for it. Both the men are described as short, heavy-set fellows. Both had the lower part of their faces masked and their hands blackened. There is no clew to their identity, as no suspicious-looking charac- ters were noticed about the city. This morning Constable Dial, found on the railroad track a purse and a shot sack, which the robbers got from the station agent. This is the only clew the officers have as to the road the robbers took. Deputy Sheriff Robinson left to-day to help in the search for the culprits. PHOTOGRAPHED AT LICK, Views of the Moon’s Eclipse Taken Through the Big Telescope. Professor Holden Reports Having Sighted Swift’s Comet During the Total Phase. LICK OBSERVATORY, CAL., Sept. 3.— At the Lick Observatory the eclipse has been photographed by four observers, two working with the great telescope, one with an 18-inch reflector, and one with the large portrait lens. The photographs are not developed and consequently nothing can be said of them. The eclipse has been observed visually by four observers, using instruments of all sizes. The visual observations consist in noting the time of the beginning and end- ing of the pbases and also the rime when the shadow passes the various craters on the moon and in the observation of the occultations of stnall size as they are covered by the moon. These resulits are expressed in numbers and have little inter- est to the general reader. Swift’s new comet was seen during the total phase. Epwarp S. HoLDEN. NEW YORK, N. Y., Sept. 3. — The con- ditions for observing the eclipse of the moon to-night could not have been better. The fair Luna began to coquette with the earth’s shadow at 9:48, when just the edge of her light disk was obscured by the pe- numbra. At 11 o’clock she ‘had fairly passed into the earth’s shadow and began to assume a dull, coppery tinge. The total eclipse was reached at 12:06, when the moon hung in the sky like a great copper globe. The sky was cloudless all night. BOSTON, Mass., Sept. 3.—The eclipse of the moon to-night was plainly visible. At Harvard Obseryatory Professor Searl was in charge of the observations. He was as- sisted in his ti me observations by Profes- sor Oliver C. Wendell, with the twelve- inch refracting telescope, and John Ray- nor Edmunds, while H. R. Colston suc- ceeded in obtaining several excellent pho- tographs with the eighteen-inch Draper vhotographic telescope. OMAHA, NEBR., Sept. 4—The moon en- tered penumbra at 9-55 P. M., central time, and was totally eclipsed at 11:05, remain- ing so until 12:47. The shadow had en- tirely disappeared at 3:06 o’clock. The phenomenon was witnessed by an inter- ested number at the Creighton College Ob- servatory. —_— SATOLLI TO REMAIN. Will Continue to Act as the Papal Delegate in America. NEW YORK, N. Y., Sept. 3.—The Herald’s Rome cable says: The Pope has decided that Monsignor Satolli, after his nomination as Cardinal at the next con- sistory, will remain in America with the title of Pro Delegato Apostolico. o gt Explosion of Nitro-Glycerine. PITTSBURG, Pa., Sept. 3.—One thou- sand pounds of nitro-glycerine exploded near Shannopin station on the Pittsburg and Lake Erle Railroad, nineteen miles from Pittsburg, this forenoon. The scene of the explosion was the storage-house of glycerine used in shooting the oil wells in the Shannopin oil fields. Two employes had just left for dinner, but were yt near enough to be thrown violently to the ground by the concussion. The magazine was scattered, nothing remaining but a huge excavation in the earth. The shock was felt for miles around. The cause of the explosion will probably never be ascertained. ety e After Corrupt Legislators. SPRINGFIELD, IrL., Sept. 3.—In the Sangamon County Circuit Court this morn- ing State Attorney Graham gave instruc- tions to the Grand Jury for the September term of the court, just convened, to in- vestigate the charges of corruption made against certain members of the Legislature, and called upon the jury to doits duty and authorities could not afford to ignore the matter. —_—— WILL BE COURT-MARTIALED. There Was Foundation for the Charges Against Colonel Forney. ‘WASHINGTON, D. C., Sept. 3.—Secre- tary Herbert to-day approved the pro- ceedings and the findings of the court of inquiry which met at the Brooklyn Navy- yard to investigate certain derogatory re- ports concerning Colonel James Forney of the United States Marine Corps, and fol- lowed this action by directing the judge- advocate general to draw an order con- vening a court-martial for his trial. The reports conceminfi Colonel Forney were filed at the Navy Department by Colunel Heywood, the commandant of the Marine Corps. They were to the effect that Colonel Forney had heen negligent in caring for Government property for which he was responsible, and the testimony dealt with large supplies of Government fuel, furni- ture, provisions and bedding which had been sent to the colonel’s residence in Brooklyn and of which he had rendered no account. The findings of the court of inquiry, which Secretary Herbert approved to-day, were unfavorable to Colonel For- ney and court-martial is a natural conse- quence. The court will meet at the Brooklyn Navy-yard. Colonel Fogney is the second ranking officer of the Marine Corps. He was commandant of Marines at the Brook- lyn yard at the time the negligence is said to have occurred, and at present occupies a similar position at the Portsmouth (N. H.) Navy-yard. Pt L R SAMUEL YORK ATLEE DEAD. Years Ago He Was Editor of the San Francisco ** New Era.” ‘WASHINGTON, D. C., Sept. 3.—Samuel York Atlee died to-day. He was 86 years old. He was the oldest member of the Philadelphia bar, having been admitted March 4, 1829. In 1845 Mr. Atlee removed to Washington and entered the Treasury Department as Librarian. Some years later he became a citizen of San Francisco, and edited the New Era there. SAILED THROUGH THE AIR Cooley’s Aerial Courser Gives Two Very Satisfactory Tests. Crashed Into a Tree the First Time, but Later Made a Long Flight. ROCHESTER, N. Y., Sept. 3.—Two tests of the Cooley airship were made yester- day in this city, the second one being suc- cessful. Cooley, after drawing all the ropes tight, gave the signal, and the ship shot up with surprising rapidity. A strong west wind was blowing at the time, and the pet and pride of the inventor in a moment sailed across the meadow to a tree and entangled one of its ropes in it. This caused the ship to shift its position so that it no longer faced the wind, and it made a dive to the earth amid the laments of a thousand spectators. ‘When Cooley reached the ship he found it, to all appearances, a complete wreck, but he set to work with a will. He found that he would be able to use but a single set of sails on the next trial, for the cross spars were broken in several parts. The useless set of sails was accord- ingly removed, and with the help of sev- eral men the ship was again placed in an erect position, the ropes tightened and fastened, and several extra braces added to assure stability of the two parts. About 5 o’clock all was in readiness for the second trial, and the ship was carried far out in the meadow away from any dangerous trees, and ten men held the ropes preparatory to the signal from the inventor. When finally the signal came the ship arose slowly in the air to a height of 200 feet and instead of darting down- ward it stayed where it was. It was evi- dent, too, that it wished to go higher, for it tugged at its ropes, and then finding that it could not go farther began its course downward with great ease. It alighted about 500 feet from the spot of its flight upward and settled slowly to the earth without damage. S R OLD CROOKS APPREHENDED. Caught While Trying to Rob a Cleveland Convention Delegate. NEW YORK, N. Y., Sept. 3.—During a recent convention of silverites in Cleve- land, O., four men were arrested for trying to steal a diamond stud of one of the dele- gates. The Cleveland police had reason to believe the prisoners were New York crooks and their descriptions were for- warded to Acting Captain O’Brien of the detective bureau. The latter said yester- day that three of the men have been iden- tified here as old offenders who are wanted in this city. 5 One of the men is Edward Clarkson, alias Connors, who, on Sentember 28 of last year, in company with “Mike” Murray, robbed Henry E Rothkopf, the Broadway mer- chant who committed suicide in his office on Saturday morning. The two were arrested, but jumped their bail last De- cember. Murray was captured again and is now serving time in prison. Another is Thomas McKeon, alias Fran- cis Murray, alias Emerson, who got the entire police squad of Jefferson Market court in serious trouble a_few monthsaco by making his escape from the court- room. Another is Edward Finnegan, alias Francis, picture 2220 in the” Rogues’ gal- lery, who was arrested some time ago in this city for robbing a man of a diamond pin on a Third-avenue car. While out on bail, pending trial, he robbed a woman at Tifth avenue and Sixty-third street. Cap- tain O’Brien expects to have the fourth prisoner also identitied as a New York crook. Clarkson, McKeon and Finnegan will probably be turned over to the police of this city, as 1t is not thought likely they will be indicted in Cleveland. e ol i Poisoned Watermelons. CHATTANOOGA, TENN., Sept. 3.—The entire family of James Reed, of London County, not far from Harriman, and a number of others who were attending a birthday party at Reed’s house, are suffer- ing from the effects of poison. Probably several persons will die. It was impossi- ble to tell whether the poisoning was from verdigris or caused by the eating of water- melons which had been poisoned to catch thieves who had been robbing the patch. el Shot From Ambush. SALEM, Mo., Sept. 3.—John A. W. Rus- sall, who had lived for thirty years on Black River, was shot from ambush yes- terday afternoon and killed. The shoot- ing was done about a quarter of a mile from his house. The family heard the shot, but when they reached the spot life was extinct and the assassin, who is un- known, had escaped. —.—— Phillip Wedel Wedded. NEW YORK, N. Y., Sept. 8.—Phillip ‘Wedel, 21 years old, of S8an Francisco, and Miss Catherine Mann, 20 years old, of Ger- many., were married by Mayor Fagan of Hoboken. Wedel met his bride while traveling abroad and she promised to come to this country and marry him. He met her at the steamship pier. Charges of Extortion Against a Portland Judge. MRS. MELCHER’S PLAINT. Alleges That the Jurist Con- spired to Defraud Her Out of Insurance. LEAGUED WITH AN AGENT. They Had Forced the Woman to Sign an Instrument Releasing the Company. FORTLAND, Or., Sept. 3.—Ex-State Senator, now a Judge of Clackamas County, Gordon E. Hayes and Special Agent Toll Thompson of the State Insurance Company of Oregon will stand trial in the State Cireuit Court to-morrow on indictments by the Grand Jury for intimidation, extortion and coercion. The complainant is Mrs. Jennie Melcher of Oregon City. Just a year ago Mrs. Melcher’s house burned. It was insured in Thompson’s company for $2000. A week later Mrs. Melcher caused the arrest of Hayes and Thompson on charges of extortion and they had a hearing in the Justice’s court, but were discharged. Mrs. Melcher and corroborating witnesses testified that the Judge and the agent wrongfully accused her of arson and frightened her into sign- ing a release of all claims against the in- surance company. Although Hayes was then her lawyer and professed to be the woman’s personal friend, she claimed he harassed her almost into a frenzy. He advised her to release her policy to avoid going to the peni- tentiary. Eventually Mrs. Melcher’s friends, con- vinced of her innocence, urged her to in- stitute criminal proceedings against Hayes ard Thompson. At the preliminary ex- amination Mrs. Melcher’s testimony was seemingly clear and could not be shaken, but the defendants were discharged. Sub- sequently Mrs, Melcher brought civil suit to recover the insurance money, but was defeated because failing to show that the release of the policy was obtained by fraud. The District Attorney, dissatisfied with the outcome of the proceedings in the Jus- tice’s [court, and discovering new material evidence against the men, caused their indictment. KITES A4S WEATHEE PROPHETS. Scheme to Utilize Them to Foretell Storms and Rough Weather. NEW YORK, N. Y., Sept. 3.—Gilbert T. Woglom of 36 John street, who is much interested in kite-flying, says that the kite will eventually be used to indicate the ap- proach of storms and cyclones. Woglom had twelve kites flying from the tower of the Judson Memorial building, in Wash- ington square south, yesterday afternoon for several hours. He had three lines out from the tower, which is 150 feet high, and toeach of the lines four Kkites were at- tached. Those on the extremities of the lines attained an altitude of more than 1200 feet above the pavement, and the others were at varying heights. Woglom explained his theory about the efficacy of kites as weather prophets to a reporfer of the United Press yesterday. He says that when he has become expert in the science of flying strings of kites he will be able to ascertain the weather con- ditions at various heights, the lowest of which will be several hundred feet above the tallest observatory. He proposes to attach to his lines all the instruments now “(sleid in determining these conditions. He added: “My experiments have lasted through some months. I believe the balloon will always be a failure for use in gauging the weather, because it is not steady enough. The kite, on the other hand, will go with the wind and is always at the command of the operator.”” Fads And Fashions Come and go in the Picture Frame business as in wearing apparel. At one time a particular style of molding takes the popular fancy, only to be succeeded by something entirely different. We keep ‘“‘up to date” examples of all the popular designs and new finishes. At present nearly all oaks in good moldings are quar- ter sawed and finished either in antique or durk English color. Some are plainand some are decorated with small ornamented beads. Nearly all hardwood frames are made of oak. Some pictures look well in such woods as cherry, mahogany, birch, maple, Hungarian ash, sycamore, chest- nut and curly redwood. We have them all, and have competent salesmen who know and will tell you what is best for your picture if you require any assistance to decide. In fancy moldings—gold, cream and gold, white and silver, russet olive and apple-green are mostly used. For cabinet and Paris panel frames, the demand is for white metal, brass, silver and leather. Our variety of fine leather frames, both plain and silver mounted, is not equaled else- where, and the prices are all right on everything. We have recently received several new things in photographs, small ones under glass panels and large ones for framing. The new lines of banquet and piano lamps and onyx tables, received about two weeks ago, give the best values and have proven the best sellers that we have ever had in our store. vur factory is located at 710 to 720 Minna street, and our Store and Sales- rooms are at 741, 743, 745 Market street, opposite Grant avenue, with Branches at Portland and Los Angeles. Visitors al- ways welcome. SANBORN, VAIL & GO, The Pulse, the Tongue, the Bowels Are the Theee First [m- portant Landmarks, TOUZCAY A WER THEM EASILY. Oxford R. Dent Consults a Doctor and Learns About the Com= pass—It Is Certainly In- teresting, This Chat. If a sick man is a ship in distress and the doctor the pilot to bring the ship into a safe harbor, what are the three first and most important questions to be asked and answered? I paused; the doctor looked at me long and hard, but he was only think- ing. Hisanswer: “The pulse tells whether the distressed ship is in instant danger or not, therefore you must go to the pulse at once. If the pulse is abnormal, orif the heart’s action is irregular, the pulse may beat from 90 to 120 beats to the minute. Then you know the ship is in much dis- tress and stimulation may be needed. If the pulse is beating regularly at about the rate of 70 beats per minute you know the ship is in no immediate danger, then you must go to the next important landmark. The tongue tells the story of the condition of the stomach, bowels, kidneys and liver. A normal tongue is a clean tongue, and a clean tongue has no white or yellow coat- ing, but is red in appearance, and the ‘papilla’ or nerve ends stand out promi- nently and distinctly. When the tongue is furrowed in white or yellow it is coated, the nerve ends or the sense of taste are cove ered up and as you, in a measure, lose your taste you lose your appetite.” The doctor paused and I drew a long breath. I wanted to know right away what I could do to clean the stomach, bowels, liver and kidneys, so that my tongue may get clean, and the doctor said: “If you want to clean the stomach, tongue, bowels, liver, kidneys, use Joy's Vegetable Sarsaparilia. “This vegetable remedy contains herbs that make a peculiar medicine. Urlike any other medicine it does its work with no uneasiness—no griping pains—yet surely, surely it washes, cleanses, soothes and regulates.” I was relieved, but my cu- riosity was not entirely satisfied, so I asked the doctor about the bowels, and he said: “The bowels must be regularly emptied ; no matter if the patient has a broken arm, a polypus in the nose, fever or any other dis- ease. Ii the bowels do not move they must be compelied to move. You can't live unless your bowels do move. There- fore, one question, and one of the first questions asked, is, Do your bowels move ? This is the keystone. And right here I wish to state that Joy’s Vegetable Sarsapa- rilla is the best bowel regulator I have ever prescribed. The work is done evenly, uniformly, with no pain, no aches, no un- easiness, no griping. Besides, when you have cegsed to take Joy’s Vegetable Sarsa- parilla you do not again become consti- pated—indeed, for months after you will be as regular as regularity itself.” The doctor ceased, and I made up my mind to get a bottle of Joy’s Vegetable Sarsapa- rilla. I went into a drugstore and a very polite clerk told me I did not want Joy’s Vegetable Sarsaparilla. I wanted some- thing else. I was so offended I left and went to another druggist, who gave me what I asked for—said it was used a great deal and well recommended. ROVAL BICYCLES ARE GOOD WHEELS Send for Catalogue.
