BLESSING THE STATIONS, Celebration at St. Joseph's of a Solemn and Ancient Ceremony. He Explains the Holy Way of the Cross and Pictures the Savior’s Passion. The Holy Way of the Cross, one of the 7most solemn ceremonies of the Roman atholic Church, was celebrated yesterday t St. Joseph’s Church on Tenth street, ear Howard. This devotion consists of blessing the sor paintings representing scenes e trial and condemnation of the Sa- or. It was first introduced into Jarusa- lem among the Christians who dwelt there ont of veneration for those sacred spots which were sanctified by the presence of Christ. From Jerusalem the custom to Europe. Pope Clement XII, who numerous indulgences to the de- ned it exclusively to the Fran- hurch, but by special indulgence e was extended to all churches, ugh not presided over by Fran- e the privilege of erecting and tations was confined to_that this reason Rey.

Fati Doran, pastor of St. Joseph’s and -r of ceremonies at yesterday’s servic + solemn procession, consisting of Re ather Maximillian, a crossbearer, two slytes and altarboys, to the first statio: Here the officiating priest recited the *‘Via Crucis,” with responses by the congrega- tion. At its conclusion the choirrendered the old Gregorian ‘‘Stabat Mater,” while the procession proceeded to the next station. The same ceremony was repeated at each of the stations, fourteen in number, and ated as follows: ‘Jesus condemned to death”; ‘Jesus receives the cross”; Jesus falls the first time under the weight of the cross”; ‘“Jesus is met by his blessed mother”; *Jesus is helped by the Cyre- nean to carry his cross”; ‘“Veronica wipes the face of Jesus”; ‘‘Jesus falls beneath his cross the second time”; ‘“Jesus con- soles the women of Jerusalem”; ‘‘Jesus eath the cross the third time”; is stripped of his garments”; nailed to the cross’; ‘“‘Jesus ex- pires on the cross”; “Jesus is taken down from the cross”; “Jesus is laid in the sepulchre.” At the conclusion of the Holy Way of the Cross Rev. Fathgr Prendergast ascended the pulpit and delivered a sermon on the ceremony just witnessed, drawing many beautiful and significant truths from the service. He said: It is well known to all Catholics that faith elone, however excellent it may be, will not either purge away the sins of our life or lead us one step forward on our long journey to- ward eternity. St. Paul is very explicit on this point. *IfI should deliver my body to be burned,” he said, “and have not charity it profiteth me nothing.”* Faith is a great lignt which comes from God, illuminating all the piritual world, yet unless we arise and set forth on our heavenly journey we shall never attain the sublime heavenly end of our being. 1 know nothing more calculated to move our tiearts toward God than the holy way of the cross. 1suppose no Christian ever visited the thplace of Christ end viewed the place where our Savior trod without feeling his heart throb with veneration. We cannot all go to Jerusalem, but we_can all have repro- duced for us the scenes from the life of our biessed Savior. Though we cannot travel over continents and oceans to the Holy Land, we can at least Jook down upon the reproductions of the battlefield,whereon was won the world’s redemption. The speaker then drew a powerful word picture of the Jast days on earth of Christ as depicted in the stations. The service concluded with a solemn benediction and sacrament, presided over by Rev. Father McDonnell, assisted by Eey. Fathers Collins ana Doran. The music, to which much of the beauty and solemnity of the celebration was due, was under the direction of Pro- fessor P. J. O’Sullivan, who presided at the organ. The choir consisted of Miss Lottie Crawford, Miss Gertrude Frost and Mrs. Edward Burns, sopranos; Miss Ella V. McClusky and Mrs, T. B. Gibson, altos; Edward Lotz and John Lerman, tenors; F. P. Scollins, Harry Brown and Beully, bassos. GOSSIP OF THE GRIDIROA, Princeton Athletes Confident of Lowering the Colors of Eli’s Sons. AN INNOVATION IN FOOTBALL. The Harvard-Princeton Game Charac- terized by Its Total Absence of Brutality. NEW YORK, N. Y., Nov. 10.—Interest in the struggle for the football champion- ship is increased as a result of yesterday's games. Princeton had ta work hard to defeat Cornell, but Cornell showed an im- provement of 50 per cent over the game against Harvard two weeks ago, so it can- not be said that Princeton has weakened to any great extent. The greatest surprise of the week was the tie game between Yale and Brown. The Providence boys playea for blood and are celebrating their virtual victory. The followers of Princeton are jubilant over the showing of their boys, and are confi- dent that they will make Yale lower her colors in the great game which decides the championship on Thanksgiving day. In reviewing the games of the past ten days credit must be given for the good feeling displayed at the Harvard-Princeton game. The contest will stand out for many a day as a credit to intercollegiate football, and a proof that football is not, in itself, a vicious, an unnecessarily rough, or an ungentlemanly game. Throughout the whole afternoon no man was warned by either of the two umpires, nor was any one of the players disqualitied. Hardly a penalty was given either side for even such slight matters as off-side play, and the best of feeling prevailed throughout the entire game. When Lee, the Prince- ton Captain, was obliged to leave the field because he haa played himself to a stand- still, be was cheered again and again from the Harvard side of the field, and the same thing was repeated when Arthur Brewer, the Harvard captain, had to go for the same reason. As ibe crowd walked across the Prince- ton campus, the Princeton contingent cheered Harvard men and Harvard men cheered Princeton. It was nota showy piece of diplomacy, in view of the recent Yale-Harvard troubles. It wasa general and universal feeling on the partof tne under-graduates of both colleges to let the victory have no opportunity of separating them again. This is the best feature of this first im- portant game ot the season, and if it is to be a suggestion of what is to come later this year, then the season of 1895 will be a wholesome one for football and its friends. Neither faculties, graduates, general pub- lic nor newspapers could find anything to complain ot except cne fact, or rather sup- posed fact: Eight or ten men left the field during the game, and the average person who knew nothing of the facts surmised that eight or ten men were injured. This was not so. The facts were these: Both on the Princeton and on the Harvard teams there were men who were not in the pink of condition; who were a little stale, or alittle over-trained, or who were not considered from a strictly just trainer’s point of view capable of going through an entire game. This year and in this game a new prin- ciple was adopted, which is to the credit of the two colleges. It was not so many years ago that if a man were taken off the field because he was merely tired, but without any serious injury, the opronents raised a great rumpus and charged that the captain of the team was trying to work in a fresh man. This year the reverse principle was adopted. Al but one or two of the men could easily have gone on a little longer, and none was of necessity taken off. Each one had to be practically forced off the field—he was so anxious to go on playing. But as the physicians saw a man playing stale or weakening in any way, or as they saw he bad reacned the limit of the time which they had judged before the game he was able to play without straining him- self, they deliberately walked on the field and took him off, whether he would or no. And that of itself saved many an injury, no doubt, and made the game what it was—a game free from accident, for the time when men are injured is when they have become so physically exhausted that they cannot protect themselves when they fall. That time was not allowed to arrive in a single case at Princeton. _ HARD PRACTICE AT STANFORD. The Varsity Football Team Getting Down to Steady Work. STANFORD UNIVERSITY, CaL., Nov, 10.—The returns from the production of “As You Like It” were considerably less than previously estimated. Not over 700 were present and the result is that the manager of the '97 class annual will suffer a loss of about $100. After the presentation of the comedy Friday afternoon the football men lined up for practice and were kept at it for three-quarters of an hour. The game was rather weak, especiaily considering that the big intercollegiate match is so soon to take place. At times the Varsity line men work admirably and manage to make con- siderable ground against the second eleven line. Then there will be a streak of mediocre playing and the second eleven will virtually outpiay the first team. Camp .can see no reason for this ir- regular play and shakes his head omin- g‘_]s]y when the subject is mentioned to im. There is one noticeable change for the better, however, and that is the spirit and enthusiasm which seem to animate both players and students fenerally. Ever since Camp’s very pointed rebuke of the apparent indifference of the men and of their scarcity of numbers a transformation has taken place. There are now thirty or forty men out each evening, and as fast as the second eleven are winded new players are substituted, so that the Varsity is kept playing against a pretty strong ag- gregation from start to finish. Several of the best players are laid up for repairs at the present time, so that the Varsity is much weaker than would otherwise be the case. The injuries of some of the men are serious enough to make the chances of their participating in the Thanksgiving game problematical. Yesterday morning the players were lined up by Camp at 9:30 o’clock and kept laying for nearly two hours, with but ittle intermission. His entire efforts are directed to stiffening the line, which is lamentably weak at times. It fiives way before heavy plays by the second eleven, when its weight, fpwperly used, should prevent any gain of the opposition. The players seem too easy-going and are not aggressive enough for Camp. As long as the line is in such a condition the backs cannot be coacbed, for they are tackled whenever given the bali before they have a fair start. Manager Eaton states that he expects to have several old Stanford players down Frank | here in the near future to aid in coaching the team. Among these assistant coaches | Rodgers 89, F. 0. Young 83. will be Walton, McMillan, Harrelson, Clemens, Downing and Abe Lewis. These men can spend but a few days here each, but their supervision will be of material benefit in getting the team in condition. Among the new players who have come out lately and who show decided talent for the game are Adams and Fisher. The latter has been tried at tackle, and as_he has the football build of Jack Reynolds, the prospects are that he will make a star some day. Bunker, Steele, Pauly and Jeff are doing first-class work. Bunker malkes one of the surest tackles at end that has been seen on the campus. He has a peculiar knack of picking out the man with the ball and never fails to bring his man down. He is poor at getting down on kick, however, and has some other minor faults that must be remedied. Jeff has come to the front with a rush. During the short time he has been playing he has made some of the prettiest plays ever seen on the Stanford gridiron. g{e bucks the line like Frankenheimer himself and his tackling of late has been superb. He is very sure and downs his man hard. Had he several pounds more weight there is no doubt that he could give any end here a hard fight for his position. i e MR. FITZSIMMONS JAW. The Talkative Cornishman Gives the Crank a Few Turns. DALLAS, Tex., Nov. 10.—Bob Fitz- simmons and party left for Galveston to- night. They show there to-morrow night and then visit the larger cities of Texas, returning to Dallas next Sunday. Fitz- simmons said to a United Press corre- spondent just before leaving: *I have one ambition in life and that is to defeat Corbett. I am satisfied Dan Stuait can bring us together in the ring and I shall remain in Texas until he de- cides what we are to do. If he says fight in Mexico, I will go there. If he says fight in Canada 1 will go there. I shall never stop until I fight Corbett.” s e, JOSE ROAD RACE. Cianciarulo Won the Five-Mile Handicap in Fast Time. SAN JOSE, CaL., Nov. 10.—The third of the series of five-mile handicap road races of the Columbus Cycling Club over the East San Jose course this morning was witnessed by a large number of enthusiasts. The handicapping was good and the race was hotly contested from start to finish. The series of races is for a gold medal, which has to be won three times to become personal property. F. Cianciarulo, with a handicap of 30 seconds, won the race in 15:14 2-5, also getting the time prize, J. | Houriieg second: E. Binto third. . The starters and handicapsand the order in which they finished are: F. Cianciar- ulo, :30; J. Hourtieg, 2:00: R. Pinto, serateh; V. Arzino, 1:15; N. Spinetti, 1:00; J. Spin etti, :30.

It is pre- sumed he took his cue from Governor Cul- berson. Gaudaur and the other oarsmen left last night for their homes. 54N SAN FRANCISCO WINS ONE, The Oakland Ball Team Loses a Good Game at Central Park. SUCCESS OF THE HOME TEAM Base Hits Were Pretty 'Equally Di- vided and Nearly Half Were Two-Baggers. The home team retaliated yesterday afternoon for their defeat by the Oakland | nine on Saturday, and with two different pitchers in the game the base hits were more nearly equalized than on the pre- vious day. Fourteen hundred people were at Cen- tral Park to watch a match that proved very even until the eighth inning, when the local men added another to their lead of one gained in the seventh. In the ninth they secured three more and shut their opponents out, and the score was 9tod. ° After one each in the first neither side scored until the sixth, when two of the Oakland players crossed the plate; but in the next inning Oakland 2ot only a goose- egg, while San Francisco piled up three runs and took the lead, which she in- creased by two in the eighth and three in the ninth, and left Oakland in the lurch with a solitary addition made in the eighth. The weather was good, though a little chilly, and at times the spectators were moved to enthusiastic applause by some brilliant bits of play and hara hits. The game started with Hulen the first man up for San Francisco. He gets two bags out of his hit to deep center, and steals third, Lally flies out to O’Rourke. Frank pounds Johnson for a second tw ger, and Hulen crosses the plate. Werrick is out on a liner to O'Rourke, | and Frank is doubled up before he can get | back to second, the side being retired with one y seventh brings San Francisco three runs. Sweeney starts for first with a dent in his ribs, Power follows him after four wild balls, and Fraser advances the two men a | cushion by his sacrifice hit to Johnson. Stan- ley puts a pretiy one way down where Van | Haltren and his white pants are silhouetted against the eastern fence, and Sweeney trots howme, while Power goes 10 third. Hulen hits to the second baseman, Stanley is called out for interfering with the ball, and Power is sent back to third. Lally comes to batand Hulen steals second. Lally brings Power and Hulen in with a beautiful two-bagger that hits the center fence, and the crowd goes wild. Lally | reaches third on & passed ball, but is thrown | out at home. Oakland has different luck. O’Rourke is out atfirston a hit to Hulen. Irwin files out to Lally. Burnsgets a two-bagger far over the right fence, but Pickett comes up and fouls out to Stanle: Werrick starts the eighth by taking a base on | Dballs and reaches second on Pickeit's fumble, and comes over the plateon Straus’ safe hit [ | A Large Attendance of Marks-% men at the Shell Mound { Range. | The Nationals’ Monthly Shoot—Smith : Carr Makes a Good String !

Jones, the Australian champion, played his last game of handball in this City at the San Francisco court yesterday afternoon, as he will leave for his home in Sydney, Australia. by Thursday’s steamer. Handballers crowded the court, as the oc- casion was in the shape of a testimonial benefit to the clever and popular Austra- lian, who has done grand work in ad- vancing the interests of the sport on this coast. He played against three well-known ex- ponents of the game—J. Harlow, the coast champion; J. Lawless, the veteran, and W. Williams, the Bostonian. He had been out of a practice for a month, which placed him at a disadvantage, and the three succeeded in defeating him in three straight games. If he had been in proper condition the result might have been the other way, as he would at any time have secured numbers of men to back him against any three players of the coast. In the first game he started off with sev- enteen consecutive aces. Williams fol- lowed with fifteen and Lawlessand Harlow made up the balance. The second game was quickly decided, and after an inter- mission of ten minutes the third game was started. Both sides stood at 14 to 14, with Jones’ hand in, and his friends were confi- dent that he could run out, but unfortun- ately he failed to score, and the three made up the necessary seven. ‘Jones wasloudly cheered on entering the alley, and at the conclusion of the match he was again the recipient of hearty cheers and his friends insisted upon a speech. He briefly thanked them for their | and | | Following is the score in detail: | | | hearty reception and for the many kind- nesses extended to him during his resi- dence 1n the Ciz% He regretted to leave San Francisco, but his parents were get- ling old and they were anxious to have him beside them, so he considered it his duty to go home. He liked this City so well that if the chance offered in the fu- ture he would be glad to return to it. The attraction at the Occidental court was a match between Ed Malonely and T. Fennessey and R. Lenihan and T. French. It was hotly contested from the start, and Maloney and Fennessy won by only one ace. On Wednesday night J. C. Nealon and R. Lenihan will play T. F. Bonnetand M. J. Kilgallon. 2 At the Union court a rattling game, among others, was played betwgen M. Dil- lon and Al Pennoyer and J. J. Feeney and 0. Hendry, the two latter winning through the terrific hitting of Feeney. 3 Following were the zamesin the different courts: = San Francisco court—P. Ryan and G. Me- Donald defeated M. McNeiland J.

COURSING AT THE PARKS, First-Class Sport Yesterday at Both San Mateo County Resorts. . Susie and Mission Boy Won the Money at Ocean View and Sly Boy at Kerrigan’s. Devotees of coursing had a great day’s sport at both resorts yesterday, the recent rains having softened the grounds and | started the grass sufficiently to give the hares the feed necessary to put them in first-class condition. The cool and cloudy weather was favor- able to the hounds, and many of the events coursing fieid. ter crowd than has been present for some time assembled, and as the majority of the visitors were in a speculative humor mat- ters in the poolbox were lively. Dogs that have not been seen in this field for some time were present, and one cf them, Sly Boy, won the twenty-four dog stake from Santa Bella, a fast black bitch, recently imported by J. H. Perigo. The finish of the resulted as follows: Third ties—Rockette beat Ellwood, Mischiet beat Daisy, Ruby beat Faster and Faster, Dan C beat Dashaway. Fourth ties—Rockette beat Mischief, Ruby beat Dan C. Rockette and Ruby divided the stake, both Delonging to the same owner. The additional old-dog stake resulted as follows: J. H. Perigo’s Santa Bella beat Mission Ken- nel's Snowbird, T.

On Sunday next a §1 stake will be run, the management adding $25 to the prize money. There was no lack of betting and enthu- siasm at Casseriy & Kerrigan’s Ocean View park, where a large crowd had assembled to witness the running. Some of the courses were long and exciting, only the judees’ flag showing the anxious spectators | Whether or not their tickets were convert- ible into coin. A great many hares were fast and game enough to escape the jaws of the hounds after leading the dogs the full length of the field. The finish of the puppy stake, left over from the previous Sunday, resulted as follows: First ties—Mary K beat Marguerite, Rich- mond Star beat Ironclad, Belle and Rapid byes, Laurine beat Mickey Free, Trilby beat Gold Hill, Susie beat Bowery Boy.

Tho entrance fee will be §1 50, and the drawing will take place at 909 Market street on the evening of Friday, tue 22d inst. Next Sunday the regular event will be run. SONGS AND DANCES. Frank Kelly’s Debut With the Haverly Minstrels at the Co- lumbia. There was a fair house at the Columbia Theater yesterday afternoon to welcome Haverley’s minstrel organization. About a third of the house was composed of Na- tional Guardsmen, who had assembled to do honor to their comrade, F. M. Kelly, who Las recently become a minstrel. Mr. Kelly was the object of ovations whenever he appeared in the performance. Owing to an oversight his name had been omitted from the first part of the pro- gramme, but a special announcement was were as fast as ever seen in a California | At Kerrigan’s Golden Gate park a bet- | nta Bella beat Rosa B, Kilkenny | | | Sy and venlls the | Stake left over from the previous Sunday made from the platform that he would sing “Cast Aside,” and his many friends made the welkin ring with demands for a repetition of the song. The young guardsman acceded to the request by re- peating the last stanzas several times, after which a huge floral shield, ,bearing the words “City Guard” in red flowers on a white ground, was handed across the foot- lights.” Mr. Kelly also contributed to the entertainment by taking the part of Rock: efellerin the burlesque, “Patti’s Farewell. As for the rest of the entertainment it brought out the same old favorites, run a little more to flesh, and a few new per- formers who may or may not become favorites. Billy Rice’s spirited quips and querks and_chortlings were not any the less relished on account of his growing re- semblance to a large, good-natured toad, and Bert Shepherd’s adipoise tissue seemed to add weight and respectability to his bumorous philosophizing. The concert part of the programme was about up to the average of local amateur effort, though the jokes, old and new, with which it was interlarded added spice and variety to it. Billy Rice’s “Telephonic Rapid Transit” act Was amusing, though the climax was injured by the dummy “Uncle Josh,” which dashed across the stage, and, like the grandfather’s clock, “stopped short’” suddenly. It could scarcely have been from design that the dummy “Uncle Josh’s'’ feet were project- ing from the wings in full view of the audience, while the real “Uncle Josh” was St%pping gayly onto the stage. harles Ernest, the monologue artist, yodels like a gentleman who is learning the art, but the very roughness of his ef- forts roused the audience to roars of laugh- ter. As Mr. Ernest was suffering from the sort of cold that makesa barytone sound like a deep bass, it is scarcely fair to judge his vodeling. His voice may be as smooth as slippery ice when it s in proper form, or he may have affected the rough- ness to provide amusement. If this was his object he was entirely successful, for he received several recalls. Siegrist and Higgins are grotesque tumblers, who hit one another hard and resounding whacks and who fall off chairs and trapezes in a way that would maim most people for the rest of their naturai lives. “Patti’s Farewell,” which con- cluded the entertainment yesterday, is a buriesque which brings in most of the members of the company. A DESPERATE MANIAC. Edward Weir Almost Escapes From the Receiving Hospital. Edward Weir, a powerful young fellosw, was arrested Saturday nightat the instance of E.A. Denicke, who regarded Weir as unsafe to be av large. He had threatened to kill himself and several others. Colonel Denicke, in speaking of the prisoner, who | will be examined to-day by the Insanity Commissioners, said: This man Weir, who I have had locked up on the charge of insanity, is a dangerous mono- maniac who, if given ail the rope he wants, will end up in sanguine trouble. He has greatly annoyed respectable families in this City for some years. He has not been arrested betore because people feared the publicity at- tached thereto. He has already threatened to kill himself and others. An asylum is the proper vlace for him, where he may be cured. The surgeons and stewards at the Re- ceiving Hospital had a desperate battle with the maniac last evening. Weir was confined in one of the wards of the hospi- tal. When Dr. Weil and several friends opened the door Weir threw them aside and made a dash for liberty. He reached the entrance to the hospital where he en- countered Stewards Booker and Calliban, who endeavored to secure the escaping man. The latter developed the strength of half a dozen men and almost overpow- ered his captors before other help arrived. He was placed in a padded cell WHY WATER TASTES BAD The Spring Valley Company Be- lieves It Simply Needs Aeration. Mayor Sutro Says the Board of Health Will Investigate the Quality of the Supply. The water question will at once be taken up by the Board of Health. Mayor Sutro is positive of this and says he will see that it is thoroughly looked into. He remarked yesterday : There are twa things that the people are en- titled to, and those are fresh air and pure water. Iam satisfied that the water the peo- ple of this City use for drinking is not pure. It cannot be pure when the source from which it comes is surrounded by human habitations. Where there are such habitations, asis the case in San Mateo County, the water becomes con- taminated, and notwithstanding the jact that it is strained before it reaches the consumers it isnot pure. Thatis, it is freed from animal matter that may exist, but it is not freed from taint that may exist before it goes through the process of filtration. Take Laguna Honda, for instance. It has not been cleaned for ten years. The officers of the Spring Valley Water Company admitted that to me. Surely that water cannot be pure. The reservoir there, I am informed, is cracked, and the company dare not drain off the water for fear of & collapse, but I think that source of supply is to be abandoned shortly. Proper tests of the water furnished the citi- zens should be made. There should be a chemical analysis and an analysis for bacteria, so that the people may know just exactly ‘what they are being served with. Hermann Schussler, the chief engineer of the 8pring Valley Water Company, says the only thing the water complained of needs is aeration—to be shaken up and tumbled about in the air, and that he has a device for doing this. “No water,” said he, “is supplied from either Lake Merced or Lobos Creek. The latter we condemned two years ago, and we have used nowater from Merced since January. We are engaged upon an exten- sive system of drainage for carrying off the surface water from around the lake into the ocean.” Mr. Schussler continued : Mayor Sutro is wrong in what he says about our water. No cattle at all are pastured on our water-shed of about 20,000 acres atthe San Andreas and Pilarcitos reservoirs. We have re- fused an offer of $12,000 annual rental for the use of it as pasture. There are four different sources of supply. The higher parts of -the Western Addition get water partly from the Pilarcitos reservoir in San Mateo County and partly from the Black Point and Ocean View pumping stations, which furnish respectively Crystal Springs and San Andreas water, The district west of Valencia street and north of Market street, and including Kearny and Market streets, and a strip along the north side of Market street, and thenout Hayes Valley is supplied with San Andreas water. This district is the one from which the mostcomplaints come. The lowest parts of the City,thatis east of Valencia street, south ot Market street and east of Kearny street, and including North Beach as far as Van Ness avenue, are supplied from Crystal Springs and Alameda Creek. We are now constructing an aerating appa- ratus for the San Andreas water like what [ have }lzur in at the Clarendon Heights reservoir. 'he lake has been thoroughly cleaned, and we have a verv thorough process of mmxnfi, but the water, as | say, needs shaking up in the air to take away the taste complained of. Itcon- tains 4,000.000,000 gallons. The winds this summer have been rather light, like they were in 1878, and have not sufficiently agitated the water. The aerating apparatus I am putting in at the College Hill reservoir will give this water a falling and tumbling about over and through a series of splashboards for fourteen or fifteun feet in the air, bringing it all into contact with the atmosphere, We have contracted for half a mile of 30-inch pipe along Chenery and some other streets just for this purpose, Frank Smith & Co. of San Leandro having the contract. We have submitted some samples of San Andreas water to Professor Hilgard of the State University for analysis. He telegraphed me to-day that he had made the analysisand that the “result was favorable.” 'All the water needs after our process of filtration is agitation in the air, and as fast 8s we can we are getting this done. Mr. Schussler added that his company did not, as Mayor Sutro said, suppress complaints, but on the contrary kee! books in blank for the purpose of record- ing complaints. | that FROM EXPERIEACE That Is, After All, the Best Way to Form an Opinion. How a St. Louis Man Got His, and What It Amounts To. There are few people who argueany kind of a question, who do not sooner or later develop into the vulgarism, “How do you know?” Of course, if a man has seen or felt anything that is admitted to be the best kind of evidence, but woe betide the oor mortal who ventures to substantiate is case with, “I was told,” etc., etc. In the words of the gentlemen who make life interesting on the cattle trails of Texas, ‘“That don’t go, pardner,” is what will be uted at the offender. The good old Southern proverb that ““ What we have seen and heard With confidence we tell,” Is usually the fixed and unyielding rule that obtains, and it is a pretty good one, too. A gentleman from St. Louis, who was asked recently for his opinion on the Hudson Medical Institute—that grand es- tablishment which known as ‘“‘the big white building,”” and which stands on the corner of Market, Stockton and Ellis streets—said: “I was treated there, and I know what [ am talking about when I say it has no equal in the Union’; and an- other gentleman from the same city has expressed his opinion in a letter to the specialists practicing there as follows: St. Louts, Mo., Aug. 9, 1895. Hudson Medical Institute, San Francisco, Cal.—GENTLEMEN: A few mon'ths ago I placed myself under treatment with the Hudson Medi- cal Institute, as I had been a sniferer for & long time with & complication of diseases that seemed to successfully resist all treatment. I must confess that I was atfirst a little bit skep- tical about placing myself under the care of physiclans nearly three thousand miles away, ut I had reached a point where something had to be done, as I could neither sieep nor eat with any degree of comfort. My whole system seemed 1o be out of order,and I weas completely worn out. I now desire to express my sincere thanks to you for the careful, conscientious treatment that you gave my case. Iam a very different man to-day, and I have not felt as well in five years past as i do now. I wish to say, t00, to those who may be suffering from diseases of long stending, no matter of what nature, that if they write or apply to the large | white building at the corner of Market, Stocks ton and Ellis street relief they s eive the same ca! s Iam sure they will find ful and skillful treatment Ihave at the hands ot the physicians of the Hudson Medical Institute. Wishing you continued suc forts to aid suffering humani y yours, FRA There is nothing really surprising in this letter, though no _doubt many people might think so. In his good opinion of The Hudson Medical Institute, Mr. Min- turn is sustained by ‘‘a vast cloud of wit- nesses.”” The good that isdone in all cases is so prompt and so lasting that patients feel bound to be grateful for what has been done for them. 00 to relapse into the state I was in be- fore commencing treatment.” Geo. H. Bent of Rochester, Cal.: “From the way I am feeling now, I don’t think I will need to take any more medicine than what I have now.” s S. M. Hooker of Los Angeles: “I now feel ag though I was a cured and a well man.” And so the letters come. All about in the same tone, and all grateful for what has been dore for them. There are thou- sands of people all over this Union who bless the day wnen they first heard of The Hudson Medical Institute, and if they could be marshaled together they would make a most imposing army. And they *one and all” say that if you are suffering and you want to be cured SAFELY an CERTAINLY, the great and grand old HUDSON MEDICAL I E ISBY FAR THE BEST PLACE TO GO TO. All the Following Cases Are Curable: Catarrh of the head, ach or bladder; all bronchial diseases: ali functional nervous 'dis- eases: St. Vitus’' dance; hysteria: shaking palsy: epilepsy: ali venereal diseases: all kinds of blood troubles: ulcers: wastes of vital for tism: gout: eczema: all skin diseases, ever cause arising: psoriasis: all blood-poisoning; varicocele; poison ouk: lost or impaired manhood; spinal trouble: nervous exhaustion and prostra- inciplent’ paresis: all kidney diseases: lum- sclatica: all bladder troubles: dyspepsia; indigestion; constipation; ail visceral disorders, which are 'treated by the depurating department.
