4 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 15, 1895. PACIFIC COAST NEWS, Southern Californiansto Indulge in Sleigh~ Riding. SPORT ON MOUNT LOWE. A Huge Winter Playground Reached by an Electric Railroad. PROF. SWIFT AND HIS COMET. Henrletta B. Freeman Tells of a Charming Half Hour With the Versatile Astronomer. LOS ANGELES, CaL., Sept. 14.—South- ern Californians will be given an opportu- | nity to enjoy a rare and novel sport this winter, that of sleighriding. No special contract has been made with the weather clerk either, but, instead, the hand of science has reached out and made acces- sible the mountain tops where in winter old Boreas sports and tosses about his white feathers in great glee. The werry jingle of sleighbells will wake the echoes on Mount Lowe this winter, and no doubt | a toboggan slide will also be inaugurated. | It will then be possible to go from the en- chanted rose gardens of Altadena to this | region of snow in just one hour. Boarding an electric-car at this suburb, where dwells a colony of retired Chicago | capitalists in the beautiful palaces they have built for themselves, one is whisked away up the serpentine road to Rubio Canyon, and thence by means of the won- derful “white chariots” literally mounts into heaven by a celestial raillway which | in eight minutes lifts the traveler 2500 feet above sea level. Stoppinglongenough | to change cars at this point, another elec- | tric conveyance takes one three miles farther on over the Alpine division to | within 1000 feet of the summit of Mount Lowe, and here it is, where the beautiful Alpine Club House is now being con- structed, that the huge winter playground | of Southern California will be found, and | where snowballing, sleighing and tobeg- | gan-sliding will be the chief amusements, Statistics are dry things, considered numerically, but just consider that. by | mounting & burro and following the bridle | trail quite to the top of Mount Lowe, one | will be within 1000 feet of the highest point the Santa Fe Railroad passes over in crossing the continent at the great divide midway across the United States. Also consider that but thirty miles stretch between your lofty perch and the Pa- cific lying beyond and plainly within sight, while Raton Pass is more than 1000 miles inland. This Alpine division of the Mount Lowe | electric railway is now completed, and the clubhouse will soon be finished, when the Alpine Club, which is composed of the solid business men @f Los Angeles, will be able to take possession of its palace among the clouds. By and by the observatory will be removed to & point nearer the sum- | mit of the mountain. One of the delights of a visit to Echo Mountain is a chat with Professor Lewis Bwift, the venerable and brilliant astrono- mer who keeps guard over the comets and various sky wonders from his perch in the little observatory, which clings, like an eagle’s nest, to the side of the sloping mountain. Professor Swift is a mental | giant, but physically he is small and wiry, and a frifle lame, besides being very deaf, but so agile in his movements, aud so quick at reading lip language that no special effort is required to converse with him. He talks enthusiastically of his big telescope, his driving-clock, his spectro- scope and all the paraphernalia for sky- searching, and it is easy to see that the little professor actually lives, moves and has his being among the stars. “Do 1 ever get lonesome?”’ he exclaimed in answer to the query put by a young lady visitor. *“Why, how could I, with so many stars staring me in theface? 1 work at night, you know,” he continued, ‘See that electric bell there? Well, I have a contract with the man in the moon to touch that bell off every night when the moon sets, and that is the signal for me to goto work. Can'’t find stars by moonlight or lying in bed,” he added sententiously. “Now, I'll point my telescope at Venus,”” went on the professor, but the clouds were erverse, and even the powerful eye of the Fie lens conld nof plicce fhetr density’ “I really wish I could give you a glimpse of Venas to-day,” he said; ‘‘she looks like the newest moon now—just a faint rim of light not wider than the thickness of my little finger.” Turning to his pet—the telescope—again the professor remarked : “Notice that big glass—cost $7000—both of them. You notice there are two, of course—one convex, one concave. One does the mischief and the other corrects it—a thing Sir Isaac Newton said couldn’t be done.” 3 Stepping briskly across the observatory, the little professor called attention to the driving clock, which keeps time by the stars instead of the sun. “Only four like it 1 the State,” he de- clared,” “one in Professor Davidson’s ob- servatory in San Francisco, one in the Chabot Observatory in Oakland, one at the Lick Observatory and this one.” Professor Bwift alluded to his recent dis- covery of his new comet which in astro- nomical science is known as “Comet (a) 1895,” and is named for its discoverer as ull cometsare. The discovery took place on the night of August 21, which, by the way, chanced to be the birthday anniversary of Professor Lowe, the man whose brains and money have made accessible all these won- ders from the erstwhilé desert mountain which now bears his name. *‘I discovered that comet,” said Profes- sor Swift, “in an almost miraculous man- ner, and in a way that wouldn’t happen once in a thousand years, Yousee I was looking through the telescope 1n search of some nebule that Idiscovered a few years ago in my Rochester observatory. It was about 2 o'clock: in-the morning and I pointed the eye of the telescope toward the point where I had found the nebulw. It wasn’t there but I found my comet instead. It is a periodic comet, but just the length of its period is not yet known. “Now I'll give my big hoopskirt a whirl,” exclaimed the energetic astrono- mer as he touched a dangling rope which instantly set the light canvas dome above our heads whirling li top. ‘“There is an instrument by m ofwhich[ get the time from San Francisco every day at noon,” wenton the professor, pointing to what looked like a telegraphic arrange- ment on a deep window-sill of the circular observatory. Going on to explain the pro- fessor said: ‘‘You see just three minutes before 12 o'clock every day twenty-five ticks sound, then twenty-nine and twenty- five again and so on till finally twenty-one “—then one short sharp tick. "'That means 12 o’'clock exactly. They haven't been giv- ing me the time for two or three day,’”” he continued, ‘““My son usnally nttenda_&) this and he isaway on a vacation and I sup- pose they think Ican’t do it with an amused smile, Passing out of the observatory into the study beyond, Professor Swift exhibited his new spectroscope, a reeent gift from @ | worms, Hiram 8ibley, who built and endowed the College of Mechanical Arts at Cornell, and is prominently identified with many }i_hilnnthrapic and scientific enterprises. his valuable spectroscope presented to Professor Swift cost $1000. e _“Did you ever see.so small an electric- light bulb as that?” asked the professor, as he held up a michrometer. “That we use “literally to split spider-webs—not bairs—with. Notice that little prism, will you?”’ pointing to a small three~sxded, piece of glass, “That little thing cost $30.” We gazed at it with a new respect. *‘See this little arrangement,” continued the professor, who enjoys arousing the amazement of his interested visitors, “how many lines do you suppose are ruled across that space?”’ holding up to the light a tiny piece of mechanism across which to the width of two inches, perhaps, glowed the beautiful colors of the prism. Of course we couldn’t guess, and the pro- fessor relieved our curiosity by remarking: “Just 29,000; and that little thing cost $100.” : . Then, as if to rest our strained minds from further astronomical calculations, the versatile astronomer picked up a long-han- dled clothesbrush, with long soft bristles. “Where do you suppose those hairs came from ?’ he asked. We examined the bristles, which were finer than horsehair and soarser than the human hair, and, as usual, gave it up: “Well,” said the professor, “I'll tell you. Those hairs came from the inside of a whale’s mouth, and that brush was made by my wife’s father.” We gasped. “Maybe you didn’t know that a whale has hairs ‘on the inside of its mouth,” continued the astronomer, “but it has, and they are for a purpose, too. When the whale takes a swallow of water, which means a barrel or so, those hairs actasa sieve for all the little water bugs and which would otherwise tax the whale’s digestion,” ‘We had learned something from the great astronomer, and it wasn’t about stars either.

THE NEWS OF SAN JOSE, Petition for Letters of Admin- istration Upon the Joshua Davies Estate. A Discharged Teacher Recovers Salary Due on Contract—Cer- tificates for Educators. SAN JOSE, CaL., Sept. 14.—Public Ad- ministrator Secord to-day petitioned the Superior Court for letters of administra- tion upon the estate of Joshua Davies, who died in Santa Clara, on July 12, 1871. Davies leit an estate valued at about $1500, $700 being in a promissory note, and the rest consisting of a house and lot in Santa Clara. The deceased lett a will dated July 12, 1871, by which the property was to be divided between David Jones, a nephew residing in Wales; the Methodist Episcopal Church of Santa Clara and the Bible and missionary societies of the Methodist Episcopal church. James H. Morgan and Joseph F. Gosbey were named as executors in the will. Gosbey finally withdrew as executor, and letters of administration were duly issued to Morgan. Morgan died on March 25, 1883, leaving the estate undistributed. On July 29, 18387, A. R. Tomkin, then Public Administrator of this county, was granted letters of administration on_the estate, but he never qualified as adminis- trator and the estate was never adminis- tered upon. The estate at the present time does not exceed $900. Judi;:e Reynolds set September 27 as the time for hearing on the petition. e JUDGMENT FOR MRS, ANGTUS.

PACIFIC COAST NEWS, Conference of Methodist Laymen Brought to a Close. VOTING FOR DELEGATES. Ministers Choose Representa- tives to the Cleveland Gathering. AGED PREACHERS CHAMPIONED. Inauguration of a Move for the Pen= sloning of Veterans In the Service. PACIFIC GROVE, CarL., Sept. 14.—The lay conference held a short and final ses- sion this forenoon and talked over the necessity of making some provision for the superanuated clergy, many of whom, after a lifetime of service in the church, are now in straitened circumstances. Rolla Watt of San Fran- cisco was the principal champion of the aged ministers, and it was through his ef- forts that the following resolution to the General Conference was unanimously passed : 1}Resolved, That we reccommend that provi- sion be made for raising the amount due con- ference claimants by assessments upon the various charges in the same manner as the Bishop's and Presiding Elder’s salaries are now raised. This measure is intended to insure the patriarchs of the pulpit some definite as- sistance hereafter. When they had completed the business of this year’s conference, the lay confer- ence went over in a body from their meeting-place in the Congregational Church, and were received by Bishop War- ren and welcomed to the session of the ministers’ conference. Henry French of San Jose, one of the lay delegates-elect, was called upon for a speech. Mr. French said he was glad to see that L J. Truman, Trustee of Grace Meth~ odist Church, San Francisco. [Reproduced from a photograph.} the reading of the Bible had been reintro- duced into the State Normal Schools, and that he would like to see the American flag flying over every school in the State. The State Normal School at San Jose was, he said, thanks to Governor Budd, being conducted on the highest educational and patriotic principles; and the trustees real- 1zed that the moral standard of California for the next quarter of a century would be determined by the character and moral surrounding of the young teachers in the Normal schools. Then, touching upon the all-interesting woman question, which is one of the subjects of general conference representation, he remarked : “When I came into this conference’ just now and saw learned doctors of divinity voting on three sides of one question and then going into the lobby and mopping their heated brows and saying they had not voted on the side they wanted to, I could not help thinking that I have never seen a woman’s meeting where they all had to ask Mr. Chairman ‘Where are we at?’” The Lay Association also presented itself before the Conference and its officers were likewise invited to seats on the platform, Presiding Elder E. R. Willis delivered a very comprehensive and interesting re- port this morning on the Napa District, which includes all the territory north of Grace Methodist Episcopal Church, Rev. :li McClish, D.D., Pastor. [Reproduced from a photograph.} San Francisco Bay and west of the Coast Range. There are forty-two charges in this district. Sonoma, he said, was a hard place for the Christian church, as it was a very popular Sunday resors for a disreputa- ble class from San Francisco. The Oakland district has already been reported on by John Kirby, its presiding elder. It includes forty-six charges in Alameda and other counties adjacent to southward from the bay. The work of the Swedish churches of the State was discussed by Presiding Elder E. A. Davidson, whose remarks showed that there was not a great deal of work for this particular branch, because of the great aptness of the Swedish peofle, who very [ soon learned to speak our language ana C. E. Rich of Half Moon Bay delivered the address. According to annual custom the Ladies’ Aid Society convened this afternoon. About 200 ge]egsbes were at_the meetin and so much business had to be done tha an adjournment was taken until Monday afternoon to complete it. Reports so far received from delegates show that over $4000 has been collected by the women during the past year. The society’s work is directed toward a general assistance of the ministersin the charitable and social work of the parish. Officers were elected as follows: Mrs. E. Mann, Pacific Grove, president; Mrs. E. Taylor, Napa, vice-president; Mrs. 8. E. Holden, Sacramento, vice-president; Mrs. 8. E. Kellogg, San Francisco, vice-presi- dent; Mrs. Dr. Soper, secretary, and treas- urer, Mrs. Hardy of East Oakland. In the ministers’ conference this morn- ing the second ballot for delegates to the Cleveland conference was taken and 158 votes were cast, 80 being necessary for H. C. Benson, D.D. [Reproduced from a photograph.} election, Theindividual results were: A, T. Needham, Oakland, 111; M. D. Buck, Sacramento, 106; E. R. Willis, Napa, 83; Coyle, 73; Hammond, 73; Kirby, 58; Case, 48; Filben, 24; Hayes, 20, and twenty- three others below 20. The third ballot resulted: Votes cast, 167; necessary to a choice, 84. John Coyle, San Francisco, 93; Hammond, 70; Kirby, 52; Case, 37, and thirteen below 20. The fourth ballot was: Votes cast, 158; necessary for a choice, 79. Hammond 66, Kirby 58, Case 23 and six below ten, resultin% in no election. The fiith hallot resulted in 156 votes being cast, 79 being necessary for a choice. Kirby received 70, Hammond 54, Case 26, Beard 2 and four others with 1 each, con- !e%uently there was no election. he sixth ballot stood: Vote cast 141, necessary to a choice 72; John Kirby, Oakland, 79; Hammond, 48; Case, 11, an Beard, Harris and Hayes, 1 each. John D. Hammond, agent_of the Book Concern, S8an Francisco, and William W. Case, pastor of Howard-street Church, San Francisco, were declared alternates to go i place of any of the five regular dele- gates who might not be able to go. Two important questions that received the attention of the conference this morn- ing were the admission of women and men lay delegatesjto the General Conference. A resolution that is being generally of- fered to the annual conferences this year provides for the insertion of the clause re- garding lay delegates, ‘‘and said delegates must be male members.” A great deal of \ confusion was caused over the meaning and bearing of this phrase, and many refused to vote on it. It was defeated by the fol- lowing vote: Ayes 1, noes 64, 87 refusing to vote. Another resolution in the same general line of amendments to the restrictive rule provided that these words be added: “And said lay delegates may be men or women,” The ministers carried this resolu- tion by the following vote: Ayes 138, noes 9, only 4 refusing to vote. To-night the hundreds of ministers, men and women, lay members and other at- tendants upon the conference, assembled to celebrate the annual educational con- ference. Dr. Jewell of the University of the Pacific told of his successin the last year in securing on subscription from the different charges in Northern California’ the $40,000 required to cancel the old in- debtedness of the colleges of the University of the Pacific. The Rev. M. 8. Cross, aean of the San Jose College, spoke upon the nature of the work attempted by the Methodist University. “‘After all,” he sald, “it is not the breadth of education that makes the man master of thought, but the intensity, in particular subjects. Infinitely more de- pends upon the spiritual enyvironments than upon the course of study.”” Bishop Warren was in the audience, and was called upon for a speech. His address was a surprising and admirable extemporaneous treatment of the subject of education. During his remarks he said: ‘‘Education is not & pouring-in process; itis a drawing out of the possibilities of ersons and things. A flower is only a ittle educated mud.” He drew a thio illustration from the mineral worlg of the process of education, and then went on to complete his compari- son in its bearings upon the mental and spiritual ednuiion of man. Beginning with the rough, uncouth iron ore, he traced its education through the school of the furnace, from which it came as cast iron; then through the high-school process that converted it into wroughtiron, and lastly through the college process that con- verted it into useful steel. He said he had some little bits of that very finely educated steel that he always carried with him in a little zold box with a crystal case, and that the steel mechanism was much more valu- able than the gold. To-morrow conference work will be sus- ended, but the day will be a notable one ere. At 9o’clock there will be the an- nual conference love feast, followed by the ordination of nine deacons and five elders. Bishop Warren will deliver the sermon. In the afternoon there will be memorial services for ministers who have died dur- ing the year. The Epworth League will have its annual celebration in the evening. SURVEYORS AT MERCED. Preparing the Route for @ Road to the Yosemite Valley. MERCED, CaL., Sept. 14.—The. party engaged to survey a broad-gauge railroad from this city upthe Merced River to the Yosemite Valley will take its departure Monday morning. It has four big tents and 1s encamped near the El Capitan Hotel, and comprises sixteen people, with En- gineer Lyman Bridges in charge. Colonel McRoberts of Chicago is the superin- tendent and manager, and has been con- centrating supplies necessary for the trip, which will last several weeks, The surveyors ran some levels this after- noon through/the railroad reservation bordering Front street to the cattle corral, From there they ran out a line on the main county road leading toward Snelling, on the Merced River.

PACIFIC COAST NEWS, Stanford Preparing for the Struggle With Berkeley. WORK ON THE GRIDIRON. Practice Begun in Earnest, With Two Full Teams at the Start. LONG RUNS ACROSS COUNTRY. Long-Halred Athletes Who Will Try for Places in the Football Eleven. STANFORD UNIVERSITY, CAL., Sept. 14.—For the first time in its football history this university will begin practice with two full teams. Last evening when Cap- tain Cochran began punting the ball on the old field he had under his supervision a sufficient number of men to line up for a practice game, yet this was but the first day at real field work. Stanford’s prospects for another success- ful seascn with this greatest of all college games seems brighter than ever before. How much it means to have plenty of can- didates for positions on the eleven at the very beginning of the semester can hardly be imagined by the general public. Dur- ing the practice last year it was not until October that enough men turned out nightly for practice to form two good teams. That quickness and unity of team work, therefore, which should be seen in a first-class eleven, was lacking until Camp managed to get the boys trained toit. It is a conceded fact here that had Stanford had any other coach in '94 than the “Father of football himself,” her chances of winning the championship would have been immensely lessened. Another noticeable feature of the play now is the spirit which: animates all the men. “They work with a will and spirit unusual so early in the year. It is gen- erally late in practice before the men get at their work with the enthusiasm neces- sary for success, Perhaps the change is due to the energy and popularity of this year’s captain, who is the first each even- ing to don his ‘“pneumatics’” and start the bali going. He has begun the work un- like former captains, in that he does not intend to work his men hard while they are in a soft condition, but by daily exer- cise, gradually increasing in intensity, he hopes to have the players prepared for actual line work within a week or ten days. By that time the new gridiron will be ready for use, as workmen have already begun preparing it. The men were given instruction in punt- ing and catching last evening. Several of the new men showed up in good form at this work. Throwing off his sweater, after an hour at this play, the captain called the boys together and started off on a cross-country run. Over the oval, down an embankment, they scrambled. Then for a stretch down a dusty road,to the astonishment and fright of numerous equine spectators. Gradually the bunch of athletes scattered, some keeping well to the van, others of weaker wind falling to the rear. Scrambling over fences, regard- less of nails and splinters, the future repre- sentatives of Stanford against Berkeley presented a ludicrous spectacle to those unused to college sights. The run con- tinued for fifteen minutes, and when the men returned to their quarters, gasping for breath and dripping with perspiration, they were ready to declare they had taken enough work for one day. After bathing, however, they all looked - fresh enough to repeat the performance at once. This is about the usual proéramme planned for the coming week. On Tuesdays, Thurs- dai(s and Saturdays gymnasium practice will be given the men instead of field work. Captain Cochran was seen after yester- day’s practice and questioned as to the men and Stanford’s prospects. ‘‘We have a lot of new men out, as yousaw,’”” said the captain. “Some of them appear to be good men, but they all require lots of prac- tice, and really it is too early to judge.” Of course Cochran feels a big respon- sibility on his shoulders, but thinks that when "the cardinal again meets the blue and gold on the football field Stanford’s successive victories will be continued. There is always enough doubt and anxiety about the matter, nevertheless, to keep interest at a high pitch. Students are on the qui vive for the least scrap of informa- tion; every player’s merits are gone over time and again, and as the great final struggle draws near there is a suppressed feeling of enthusiasm ready to burst forth at slightest provocation. ~There will be more interest here this season than is cus- tomary, for there are more vacancies to be filled than on previous seasons. Changes in the line-up increase the chances of vic- tory or defeat. The four vacant places for which men must be found are: Fuilback, played last i{ear b{ Kennedy; quarterback, where little arrelson ‘‘starred’” on the team of '94; center rush, made vacant by the absence of 200-pound Hazzard, and right tackle, played last year by Stanford’s dashing captain, Paul Downing. In the loss of these men there was taken away a source of great strength from Stanford’s fooiball material; bl“ there are many likely seekers for their places. In addition to those who have left, it may not be possible for Jack Reynolds to try for his position as left halfback, on account of his work in the university, which conflicts with practice hours. Spaulding is in a like state of uncertainty. e playes right end last season. Among the old players that have re- turned and are expected to enter the cam- paign are the following: Charles M, Fickert 0% left guard. Fick- ert is in excellent shape for the §nme right now. He weighs 200 poundsand will train perhaps to 180 pounds. Guy Cochran (captain) 96, left tackle, isalsoin good condition. He weighs nearly 180 pounds. " Stuart Colton '98, end, is heavy this year and is likely to play at 175. A. H. Burrett, who Flayed right guard for two years, is planning to capture his old place. He weighs 190 pounds. : Alired Spalding, '96, end, is in the pink of condition, and wonld nn&oubted}y retain his place if he made a try. He weighs 170, Julius Frankenheimer, 96, is an avowed hunter for his place as halfback. The beam will tip at 165 pounds when this cam- paigner gets on ir. Jack Reynolds, '96, would have to take off some goodly pounds of flesh and could take his old place at half at 170 pounds, Thomas Code, '06, will try for Turter if Eosnble. In this position he ggyed for tanford two years. His weight is about 165 pounds. any of those who ?ll ed last season on the second eleven or “‘subbed’’ on the first have returned to Stanford and will try for places. There is Charlie Dole, '98, who captained his class team. He is an all- round athlete as well as a football player. In the practice during the fall of’94 he was handica by a weak ankle, hurt during the first weeks of practice. Not- withstanding this fact he put up a ‘‘star” game. With training in punting he would make a good fullback and 1sout for that place. He weighs 168 pounds. . 8. Harrington, ’98, is another promising man for guard. He played last year in good form, especially toward the end of the season. He will draw down 185 pounds. Chester Thomas, '97, is another big man out for honors. He weighs 180 pounds and shows up well at half or guard. J. A. Pauly, '08, “‘subbed’’ last year, and will try for an end this season. The best new men to appear thus far are H. R. Plate, '99, who weighs 170 pounds. He captained the Urban School team in S8an Francisco and has had two years’ practice. He played in the Reliance sec- ond eleven last year. At the present time he weighs 170 pounds. Ry Justus Overacker, '99, was captain of the Centerville school team in '93. He has played half and tackle, and weighs 163 pounds. C. G. Brown, ’99, has played halfback one year in the San Francisco High School. He is a strongly built fellow weighing 175 pounds. G. F. Bartlett, 99, of Berkeley, played in the Reliance second eleven last year as fullback. He has had twodyears’ experi- ence, and will try for an end. He weighs 160 pounds. Parker, ’99, will try for end or half. William Garten, ’99, played lgst year in Southern California 1n the Athletic Club team. He makes a good guard and is heavy, weighing nearly 200 pounds. N. A. Curle, '98, is a finely formed fel- low who will be tried at center. He is not as big as Hazzard, but will knock down 195 pounds on the scale. This completes the men who are ex- pected to make their mark this year. TILLAMOOK: BAY WARFARE Fishermen Arming to Drive Out Poachers From Astoria. Blood Has Already Been Shed and a Clash at Arms Is Hourly Expected. PORTLAND, Og., Sept. 14.—The diffi- culties between Tillamook and Astoria fishermen are likely to culminate in loss of life. The Astorians are cutting rates on salmon and Tillaookians are patrolling the bay with Winchesters to prevent the others from operating in Tillamook waters. Reports upon the situation are somewhat meager, as so far no disinterested persons have ventured out into the bay to witness the performances of the past few nights. The contending factions exchanged about fifty shots on Thursday night, but no fatalities are reported. The Astorians were to make another attempt to fish to- night, and serious trouble is feared. The poachers are desperate ltalians, all armed to the teeth and determined to hold their position. Murderous hostilities were inaugurated by Tillammookians. They encountered an Astorian named G. Level fishing. They cut his net into fragments and let his “fish go. After Level retired to his camp they fired shots into his_campfire until it was extinguished, and several lgull;ts came uncomfortably close to his ead. Then they found a man fishing in a boat and to scare him away fired a shot close to him. The man returned the shot, intend- ing to kill. The fisherman and_his boat- man got away with all haste, and it seems no one was hurt. An attempt to scarce Pete Orson away resulted in the first bloodshed, Olson fired into his assailants, who returned the fire, and Olson received three flesh wounds. The feeling is very bitter, and a clash at arms is hourly expected. e SANTA BARBARA ROW. Officers Fight Over the Glory of Making an Arrest, SANTA BARBARA, CAL., Sept. 14.—A lively sensation was eaused in Chinatown last night by the appearance of three Chinamen, one armed with a hatchet and butcher-knife and two with pistols, who were diligently seeking the blood of a fellow Mongolian, A livelier sensation was developed when two officers of the law, City Marshal Hopkins and Constable Clarence Kelton, each striving for the glory of first arrest, clashed authority and a wild scrimmage resulted, in which one officer battered the other over the head with a pistol. Kelton was arrested and pleaded guilty in the Police Court to-day to disturbing the peace. Marshal Hopkins was arrested for assault and put under $300 bonds. The comparative merits of the positions taken by these officers will be tested in the local courts next week. The_cause of all the disturbance, one Fonf Nfinn. undertook to persuade three of his fellows that it was an unworthy and unmanly act to beat an almond-eyed lady. As such precepts of etiquette are opposed to the civilization of Confucius the woman- beaters had determined to sacrifice Fong Ngan upon the altar of his too-progressive code of ethics. e s Fire at Oroville, OROVILLE, Car., Rept. 14.—The resi- dence on Montgomery street, owned by Mrs. 8. A. Jenkins of Paradise and occu- pied by Mrs. L. Webster, was destroyed by fire at 8 o’clock this evening. The loss is $2000, insured for $1200. The cause of fire is unknown, as Mrs. Webster had gone to a neighbor’s house, leaving her residence in total darkness. Mrs. Webster's loss on furniture was about $300. and health is as sharply marked as t between darkness and light, The suf- ferings of disease make enjoyment of life impossible and perfect i health makes nee gl even a common- b place existence a bright and happy one. i The truest thing about disease is that most of it is needless. Nine-tenths of it can be subdued by very simple remedies, Even that most dreadful malady, con- sumption, can be cured in cases out of a hundred, if it be treat in its early stages with Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery. Consumption is a disease caused by imli)‘;flt of the blood, and the first thing to one in its treatment is to make the blood pure, rich and wholesome, That is half the battle. The other half iy the impregnation of the blood with cleansing, healing, invigorating medi- cines. he ‘‘Golden Medical Discoy- ery ” does both. It first puts the whole digestive system into ect order, rids it of all impurities and from the vantage und so gained, reaches out to every ber of the body and restores all to perfect vigor. It cures many diseases, simply because many diseases spring from a set of common causes. The same disorder may lead to different symptoms in different people. What might be only a little indigestion in one person, may combine with a slight cold in another and result in consumption. A treatment that tones up the whole Kstem is always the safest. A medicine that is good for the general health is pretty sure to cure ordinary diseases, Six cents in stamps with this notice, sent to World’s Dispen- sary Medical Association, Buffalo, N, V., will bring a large 160 ‘fage book.

The Physicians of the Hudson Medical Institute Work Wonders for a Man ‘Who Was About to Give Up All Hope. His ‘“Last Resort’’ Proves Salvation. ] 18 NOT EVERY DAY, BUT IT CERTAINLY is every week, and usually twice or three times a week, that the saying that “as long as there is life there is hope for you, even if your case has been pronounced ineurable by a dozen other physicians,” is verified at the grand old Hudson Medical Institute, that great curative institution. And, perhaps, it has never been more clearly shown than compara= tively recently, when the case of & gentleman from Indian Diggings was brought fo the no- tice of the specialists practicing there. The name of the gentleman to whom we refer was Adam Nelson, and perhaps the story is best told in his own words. He writes as follows from his home under date of March 25 last: HupsoNy MEDICAL INSTITUTE — Gentlemen: After suffering for a length of time from what I thought was an Incurable disease, I was finally per- suaded to try the Hudson Medical Institute, of which I had heard so much, and it was almost against my own judgment that I wrote you tne let- ter that I did. Now, after several months’ treat- ment, it is with a great deal of gratitude that [ write you these few lines of thanks. My case was stubborn and complicated, but under your cons scientions treatment 1 have gradually lmproved, until now I can safely w?um Thave been entirely cured. I sincerely trdst, gentlemen, that o ail those who are suffering as I have suffered you will cltemy aase, or, better stil, let them write Lo mo and I will tell them what you' have accomplisheds Yours very truly, ADAM NELSON, Indian Diggings, March 25, 1895. It wonld not be at all difficult to go into the painful details of this guite severe case, but it isnot necessary. It is easily seen from Mr. Nelson’s straightforward letter that it wasa most difficult and dangerous one, nevertheless the great specialists had no trouble in effecting a great and a grand cure. Thousands upon thousands indorse Mr. Nelson in his opinion of fheir wonderful skill, for instance: Mr. F. Clyde of Victoria, B. C., says: “I hardly know how to thank you for what you have done for me so far. I am just about cured.” A. W. Neale of Los Angeles: ‘“Your trests ment has done all that you claimed,andI bless the day that I placed myself in your hands.” F. F. Bartels of Oroville writes: “I am alto~ gether & new man to whatI was when I com- menced taking your medicines.” W. A. Russell of Machias, Wash.: “‘Iregret that I am not able to pay you ten times your fee. I shall most certainly recommend you to all suffere-e.” W. P. Dillman of Sacramento says: *I thank ou a thousand times for the great good you {uve done me. May God bless you.” i Thousands of others have testified in similar strains. Then remember that until you have been told by the specialists at the grand old Hudson Medical Institute that your case is incurable, there is hope for you. All curable diseases are successfully treated at the Insti- tute.
