THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 29, 1895. TESTIMONIALS. The publishing of testimonigls has been and now is abused to such an extent that many people have no confidence in them. Many con- cerns to our knowledge print from twenty to thirty pages of testimonials in their books, all being manufactured and signed by fictiticus names and initials. All testimonials where the rames and address in full is not given are bogus, and parties publishing such cannot be reliea on. NOTE PARTICULARLY that every testimonial published by us is complete in name and address, and in the larger cities you will find the street number or postoffice box added to every one published. We by no means publish all the testimonials we receive, but only select and publish, by permission, a few from different sections of the United States, and which embrace the majority of diseases IRl " Are You Seeking Health? Are You Weak or Ailing? Thousands Who Once Despaired of for which our appliances are a specific remedy. TO MEN who suffer any personal weakness, due to excess or indiscretion, we wish to say that our files contain thousands of testimon- ials from pagies we have cured of such weak- ness; and those who cannot find satisfactory evi- dence in such testimonials as we publish, we will, upon application, privately refer to well- known gentlemen who do not wish their names in print, but will gladly give fellow-sufferers the benefit of their experience with our cele- brated belt. SPECIAL ATTENTION. For reasons that all sufferers from Seminal , Spermatorrhcea, Impotence, Emis- can well appreciate we in our many s do mot publish any where we make direct reference to these ailments, which has led some t» inquire whether or not we did not cure cases of this nature. In reply to such we wish to say that as electricity is the only known specific cure in debilities of this nature, we invented our famous belt solely for the re- lef of these sufferers, and have several thou- sand testimonials of such cures, but we never have, nor never intend, to publish any of these unless parties specially request us to do so for the benefit of fellow-sufferers, However, our- ifferent offices have on file unlimited num- bers of original testimonials of this nature, from persons in their respective sections, and they are open to inspection to honest seekers aiter health. If you wish to write any of the following persons for their experience with our Belts, do not neglect to enclose & stamp for reply. Some possibly cannot afford to furnish stamps. Nervous Debility.

DR. A. T. SANDEN: Dear Sir—As you requested me to report in thirty days, I most cheerfully do so. The work- ing of the Belt is all you recommended. One of my greatest troubles was weakness of the urinary ducts. I could not control the secre- tions, and my clothes were constantly wet. Ihad to get up twice in the night. This was having a_very weakening effect upon my powers. Now, I will not give the Belt credit for one iota that it will not do, but I must say that two days® wear, from supper till bed- time, tightened up or contracted these weak- ened muscles and stopped the dripping com- pletely. I never have to get up in the night now; my clothing is as dry as lime and the action of the ducts is easy and natural. A burning, scalding scnsation that was very distressing has entirely gone. I tell you, doc- tor, I am most thankful for that, and the next feature is, the waste of vital fiuid has ceased entirely and my bowels are resuming thefr natural healthy state, for all of which I thank you, and I assure you that you will soon have a ran on Belts at this place. as every one nows what itis doing for me.

LONG LADY AGAIN IN FRONT.| Stanford Landed the Outsider Gold Dust First In the Hurdle Race. Al J. H. Magee, a horseman who has been racing at Latonia, was expected at the track | last night, the secretary receiving a telegram from him dated Biue Canyon, requesting twelve stalls. The names of the horses were not | given. The gray horse Sir Richard, winner of the | second race, entered to be sold for $300, | received his usual boost of $200 from some unknown outsidel.’ A very consistent per- former, why the horse is generally bid up is & mystery. Foggy and disagreeable weather added to a very unattractice racing card drew but a light crowd to the track yesterday. Two favorites and three outsiders caught the eve of the judges first, the latter being but lightly supporied. The entries were -not numerous and Starter Ferguson dis- patched his fields with such slight delay that the crowd was wending its way home- ward before 5 o’clock. Coleman was expected to haul down the purse in the opening dash of six furlongs for maidens and was madea 3 to 5 favorite, but after leading for three parts of the journey was passed by both Yreka and Jefferson, the former winning easily in 1:15%4, with 12 to 1 against him in the bet- ting ring. Those two likely sprinters, Sir Richard | and Tim Murphy, met in the next event, | a five and a half furlong/dash, opposed by | the two-year-olds Veragua and Easel, the latter in at 69 pounds, with a mite of a jockey named Woods in the saddle. The etting was chiefly on the aged horses, Sir Richard closing at 9 to 10, with evens against the roan nhorse. Tim Murphy led until well into the stretch, when S8ir | Richard passed him and won easily by | two lengths in 1:063, a_fine performance with the weight he had up—112 pounds. Easel showed much speed, running second until reaching the bend for home, when she began falling back. ! The fast filly, Long Lady, was again | seen to advantage in the two-year-old | handicap, over the short six-furlong course. She went to the post a heavily backed 11 to 10 choice, with Grady an | equally well-supported second choice at twos. Benham, Fireman and Marjorie were but slightly nibbled at. To a good start Ben- ham went out in front, hoiding the lead until a sixteenth from the wire, when Long Lady passed him as though he were a post, and won galloping by a length in 1:13. Grady was a tired third, about a length and a half further away. Itis quite evident that Donahue, who rode Uncle Giles yesterday in the mile dash, isa few pounds better in the saddle than Peoples, for the El Rio Rey colt turned the tables on Morven and Ivy, who took his measure on Thursday. Rico opened favorite at 8 to 5, but went back to 3to1, and Morven was backed down from 4 t0 2)4 to 1, making him first choice. Morven went out in front as in Thurs- day’srace, leading into the stretch for home by a couple of lengths, followed by Ivy, Arno and Uncle Giles. Donahue on | El Rio Rey-Ho Hie Humphrey. the latter now went to work on his horse, and at the furlong post had Flynn on the favoriteat the bat. In a mild drive Uncle Giles stalled off Rico, who alse passed Morven, and won by three parts of a length. The winner was as good as6 to 1 in the betting. The mile and a half hurdle race resulted very disastrously for the talent. There were many switchesin the betting. Bell- ringer opened at even money and closed at 8to 5. Esperance opened at 8 to 5, went tollto5and was then backed down by wise money to 6 to 5. A small sizea plunge on Guadaloupe cut his price from 7to4to 1. Gold Dust, the other starter, was the out- sider at fives. When they were sent away Al Stanford, on the outside, took his horse to the front, and, keeping him well in hand, clearing the jumps beautifully, never relinquished the lead and landed his horse an easy winner through admirable riding in the fast time of 2:47, within three-quar- ters of a second of the coast record. Bell- ringer was second six lengths away and they batted out Esperance, third. Guada- loupe struck the third jump and sulked after that, his rider pulling him up. Seventh day, Saturday, September 28.

VESSELS GIVEN UP FOR LOST. A Heavy Rate of Relnsurance Pald In Each Instance —News From the Belgic. The competing line between Santa Clara Valley and Alviso, and thence by steamer to San Francisco, seems to be an assured fact. R.J.R. Aden and H. W. Goodall, of Piper, Aden, Goodall & Co., who are engineering the new road, returned from San Jose yesterday,and said that eight of the ten miles of right of way have been secured, and that work will begin at once. Some difficulty has been experfenced in purchasing a terminus at Alviso, but that will be overcome. ““The road is now an assured fact,” said Harry Goodall yesterday. “The Southern Pacific has attempted to block us at every turn, but we have overcome every obsta- cle, and now we can see daylight ahead. James Phelan has also opposed us, but in spite of all their efforts the Santa Clara Valley Railroad shall be built, and before long you will see the products of the val- ley coming into San Francisco by steamer from Alviso.” Messrs. Aden and Goodall are very san- guine, and plans for stern-wheel steamers to accommodate the traffic are now being prevared. Fears for the safety of the British ships Star of Austria, Lord Downshire and Lord Spencer vprevail in mercantile circles. Lloyds has posted them as missing, and as much as 90 guineas per cent isoffered to re- | insure. The Lord Spencer sailed from San Francisco for Queenstown last April. An advance of 40 per cent is offered on her reinsurance. The Star of Austria is from Santa Rosalia for Falmouth and the Lord Downshire from Caleta Buena for Ham- burg. For the former 85 per cent and the latter 90 per cent reinsurance is offered. Captain Willis of the Star of Austria and Captain Davies of the Lord Spencer were both well known 1n San Francisco. The Occidental snd Oriental Company’s steamer Belgic is still hard and fast on the beach near Yokohama. A letter received by Harbor Commissioner Colnon yester- day from Dr. F. W. Dudley of the stranded steamer states that the remains of Second Officer Beckman have been embalmed and will be sent to San Francisco on the next steamer. Beckman was drowned in the surf, The following notice in regard to Cooks Inlet, Alaska, Enp been issued by the Hy- drographic Office: Captain R. Balvesen of the steamer Jennie reports having sounded on a small pinnacle rock with but three feet of+water ou it at low water fiprhlg tides, and four fathoms close alongside, lying with Kussilof cannery bearing south 49 deg. east true (E. SE. )4 E. mag.), dis- tant nearly six miles. The captain also reports that the four-fathom shoal shown on the charts about five miles southeastward from Chisick Island does not exist. He has steamed over the charted posi- tion of the shoal fifty-six times this summer, and on one occasion ‘searched two hours for the shoal. He reports the depth in that local- ity to be seventeen to nineteen fathoms, and that there are no such depths as twenty-five and twenty-eight fathoms, as marked on the charts outside the shoal. Also, that he sounded over the five-fathom shoal lald down about six miles south from the position assigned. | Also, that the sandbank northeastward of Chisick Tsland is somewhat the shape of boot and is extending southward about one-quarter | of a mile per year. Manuel Laboe was arrested by the Har- | bor police yesterday and charged with ob- | | taining money under false pretenses. M. | Lichtenstein, the pawnbroker, swore that | | he secured $5 from him on the representa- ‘\ tion that he owned a milk route. Laboe said that Lichtenstein knew he was out of employment and loaned him the money as a personal favor. f Those Stopover Suits. The decision of Judge Sanderson on the demurrer in the famous Southern Pacific stopover suit it is expected will be ren- dered some time this week. If the de- cision is favorable to Dr. W. H. Robin- son and others they declare an intention to immediately bring suit for damages aggregat- ing $579.800 for the refusal to let them stop over in Oakland on their way from San Fran- cisco to Alameda.

The Pacific Yacht Club will terminate its season’s sport on October 11 with a grand entertainment at its club quarters in Bausalito. Secretary V. W. Gaskill has mailed circulars to its members which state that “‘no one will be admitted on the | closing day or evening without a ticket duly countersigned by the proper officers, and they more particularly wish to impress | upon the members that it wiil be absolutely essential that the name of the lady whom the member intends to invite shall be pre- sented to the reception committee before an admittance ticket will be issued.” A wug will leave Mission-street wharf at 7:30 P.

The remarks of Judge Belcher in asking the jury on Friday to acquit Manuel Moreno, charged with assaunlt with a deadly weapon, called forth a rejoinder from Prosecuting Attornéy Mogan of Police Court 2 yesterday morning. ‘When Judge Conlan’s court opened Mr. Mogan said he had a statement to make, which he desired to be taken down by the official reporter and incorporated in the rcords of the court. The order was made and Mr. Mogan said: 1 desire to call the court’s attention to com- ments made upon this court and upon myself yesterday by Judge Belcher, who, unfortu- nately, occupies a position upon the Superior bench, Department 11. As you know, neither Inor any other official of the court was guilty of neglect in the Moreno case. The defendant was fully identified at the preliminary examination. The real reason of his acquittal, I understand, was the absence of the complaining witness. It, therefore, for that reason alone, became necessary to instruct the jury to acquit. Nevertheless, Ju Belcher, to_use a slang expression, indulged in & grand-stand play, and saw fit to make a cowardly attack upon me. It seems, in all fairness, that I should have had an opportunity to be heard, and the least Judge Belcher could have done was to read the transcript of testimony in the case. The uafortunate part of allis that Judge Bel- chor is & thoroughly {ncompetent man; that is a matter of history, and I am willingin this and all other matiers to let the public judge between us. In closing, I wish to call public attention to the record in the case of The People against Alexander Loughborough, that was disposed of, not tried, in Judge Belcher’s court. His conduct in that is certainly open to cen- sure. I refer the public to Judge Belcher’s conduct in that case and to my own record as an officer, and rest my case. After Mr. Mogan had concluded Judge Conlan said: Mr. Mogan, you have been an efficient and competent prosecuting officer in all cases brongm before this court, and have never al- lowed & guilty man to escape. Judge Belcher’s statement in the Moreno case is certainly erroneous. The matter has been particularl brought back 10 my recollection. e defend- ant was fully and properly identified, and you rformed your duty thoroughly in the case. 'he statement is due from the court to you that you were unjustly censured by Judge Belcher. Wills Filed. The will of Gabriel M. Kutz, boot and shoe manufacturer, leaving to his widow Lina his entire estate, valued at $55,000, has been filed for probate. will of Andreas Hansen, mv}.l:{ estate valued at $6000, has also been fi! .nl RELIGIOUS PROGRESS. An Epitome of the Ser- mons of the Week. Following is a summary of the principal sermons recently delivered in the United States and Canada by the leading clergy- men, priests, prelates, religious teachers and professors of the Christian faith. In every instance the full text has been care- fully read and abbreviated. SR e DEATH. Death is not a chance, it is an appoint- ment, and we are all immortal until our work is done. If we cut life short it is a fearful impertinence that cannot be for- iven.—Rev. George N. John Johnston, resbyterian, Pittsburg, Pa. RO ST DEBS. Debs’ case is conspicuous among the many miscarriages of justice. The words of Governor Altgeld in his last message on the subjects are words worthy of a Patrick Henry. The process under which Debs was, ti‘;ruut into prison is a genus of a for- eign species.—Rev. Alexander Kent, Wash- ington, D. C. RSB T FAITH AND LOVE. Earnest faith and earnest love are the mightiest principles that underly every true and noble life. These principles have made heroes and martyrs and confessors and reformers. It is these prineiples that make successful men in any sphere of life, however humble or great that life may be. -Rev. R. M. L. Braden, Presbyterian, Aspen, Colo. L gl FINANCIAL BATTLES. There is still struggle and conflict, only transferred from the field of battle to that of finance, manufacture and commerce. The leader, who, however, like Pierpont Morgan, serves society as well as himself b{ doing constructive work, holds greater place than one who merely rules and ‘| wrecks, as did Jay Gould.—Rev. T. L. Coler, Portland, Or. e CHURCHES. Some say we have too many churches— too much money in churches. We have throughout the country about one church for every 500 people. In the cities the showing is not so good.—Rev. H. N. Wolie, ‘Waterford, Conn. panidel 0 5 e CHRIST’S MISSION. The mission of Christ was to make it clear to all that God was willing to forgive and receive them, to drive out of their hearts guilty fear. In other words the mission of Christ was to reveal the infinite love of the Father.—Rev. H. W. Pinkham Baptist, Bridgeport, Conn. > SRR TRANSITION. All earthly things are but transitory.

Thomas P. Baker, Chafliwfgfas‘.‘ o(;: B —_—— DICKENS AND NAPOLEON. 1 We can profitably contrast Napoleon with Charles Dickens. The great Emperor e of France grew selfish, and how long after that did his power and fame stir Europe as before? Now his name is on the pages of history only as a byword. But Charles Dickens, for his swee’ stories which warm the heart, lives in the memory of mankind. —Rey. R.R. Shippen, Unitarian, Brock- ton, Mass. vVows. Everybody is under vows—vows of busi- ness, vows of friendship and love, vows of soldiers, vows of membership in societies of all kinds. Every man’s character 1s at ‘ stake in the way he treats his vows. His own conecience will pronounce upon him and any defections will pass into the very fiber of his nature.—Rev. John Barbour, Birmingham, Ala. R o RELIGIOUS NONSENSE. There is a great deal of nonsense preached about God, and there are doc- trines advanced that make the blood run cold. The old New Englander’s idea of a lake of firein punishment of sins; of angels with wings of feathers, and musical instru- ments of one kind or another in their hands, is exploded; our idea of God is dif- {Ae{ent.—Rev. R. P. Williams, Montgomery, a. ’ I e A CURE FOR SLANDER. The cure for slander is first to give it no foundation in yourself. Avoid the appear- ance of evil, and be above suspicion, Then take no notice of it; do not believe it; make no revly to it, for silence is the best reply to slander. Then counteract the evil of malicious report by the good of a word fitlgt oken. —ng‘ Addition Mcore, Baptist, aul, Minn. Tt LU PRAYER AND REFORM. ‘Works count as well as faith. The peo- ple of New York prayed long and earnestly for purity in municipal government; but it was not till they went to the polls and voted rightly that the reform came, ' Prayer is like one of the oars of a boat. Pulling on one oar does not get the oars- man very far. It will only move him in a circle. Itis when faith on one side is aided by work on the other that the boat moves against the strongest current.—Rev. Joseph B. Stitt, Methodist, Georgetown, D. C. Sl gy s P REWARD. In life’s battle for supremacy man’s ef- forts are often poorly rewarded. The farmer plows and planis in order to obtain a good return; but before the crop isready to apply the sickle & storm destroys the fruit of all his labor and toil. Men bear the heat and burden of the day, and their rewards often fall into a sieve.” When the evening of life is ended thev find their hands empty, after toiling hard all through life. When working for God we are work- ing for no uncertainty.—Rev. P. A. O’IReilly, Roman Cathelic, Birmingham, Ala. —_— DESTINY. The fortunes of chance are least under- stood of any which closely affect us. In the midst of constant uncertainty about many things thisis the most vital. If we only knew God’s policy for to-morrow and forever what is transient and what endur- ing, what will be esteemed and serviceable when things take a turn for us, we might know how to live better. But perhaps we reallv should not. Knowledge brings con- fidence and confidence is a near relative of weakness. The world is made up of things which have been willing to be put where they are without knowing why. Ir any greal movement most people must N ¥ subordinate and flexible. And this is not ® inglorious. The secret of most reputations thatany one would like to own is that they folllx:wodv;_l?estin mnpged out for them. —Rev. Willard Scott, Congregationalis Chicago, Il | b
