THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 14, 1895. e e A e s P R U e TR Vi G e T T TR e S G P T e e e M o S e S Pl FOR THE CONVENTION. The Committee on Promotion Will Gather Here To-Day. GO0D SPEECHES BILLED. Representatives Will Be Present From All Over the State. COLLECTORS READY FOR WORK. Every Citizen Who Has the Future of California at Heart Will Add to the Fund. The machinery built up by the people to furnish the horse-sense power to bring the next Republican Convention to the City of San Francisco is now in motion, and we will soon be able to bring sufficient pres- sure to bear on the National committee- men to secure the prize. & The finance committee, the executive | committee and the recently appointed collectors have begun to work, and to-day i Chamber of Commerce the com- ee on promotion will orzanize and in operations. Thiscommittee is made of people from all parts of the State, and was formed for the purpose of bring- ing the representatives of all the cities and tow together, so that the best possible variety of opinions could be heard. The coming of the convention to this City means something to every town and hamlet on the coast, and it is well that the whole State should be represented in the | committze of promotion. It is likely that other cities in this State have something interesting to offer the delegates, and at the meating to-day these points will in all probability be brought out. Itis expected that some very telling speeches will be made and that the great number of suggestions that will of neces- sity be brought forth will have a good ef- fect on the committee already formed. Chairman Easton of the executive com mit- tee and Chairman Pond of the finance committee are eager to learn the feeling ot the entire State, and no better opportun- ity will present itself than that offered to- day. Allday yesterday the members of the committee on promotion were arriving in the City, and as there are 100 of them 1t is probable that some will come in to-day. From the appearance of things now 1t looks as though there would be at least 90 per cent of the appointed or hand to give their views and talk for their respective localities. This is very encouraging to the gentle- men who selected the delegates, and it looks very much as though the proposi- n of holding the Republican Conven- tion in this City has spread a very satis- factory feeling of unity on that point ail over the State and coast. At least seventy of the members of the promotion committee are from the interior tewns and they will have something sound to offer for the proposition. Such con- certed action was never before witnessed in the State of California, and it is beyond a doubt the foundation of a future from which Californians will profit. The action of the people on this particu- lar case shows what can be done by all pulling together and working for the com- mon good of the whole State. The at- tendant benefits are apparent to the inhabitants of California, and like one man they have all donned the harness and are pulling together. Yesterday Secretary Litchfield delivered the collectors their credentials, and the money will soon come rolling in. The greater part of to-day, aside from the time occupied by the meeting at the Chamber of Commerce, will be spent in preliminary work leading up to laying out the territory alloted the collectors. They will become identified with the occupation of gathering the money for tbe fund, and all sorts of contributions, both large and small, will be acceptable. Ever since the propositlon of holding the convention here was suggested by THE CaLL the people of this City have shown a marked desire to do their share of the work, and it is to be hoped that they will not hesitate now to do all in their power to finish the good work so far carried on without discomfort or inconvenience, and that when the collector appears the re- sponse will be liberal and immediate. If the promises of a great many of San Francisco’s public-spirited men goes for anything the fund will be increased to the extentof several thousand dollars by to- night. Citizens, professional men and cor- porations of all kinds have agreed to name an amount when the collectors appointed by the finance committee come to them for an answer. All occupations will be benefited by the convention being held in this City, and no sensible man will require urging to make him seeit. We have a vast and productive territory in the great West to exhibit to the stranger, and the more we can get here the better it will be for California and the West generally. To-day thereis nearly $100,000 already guaranteed, counting that subscribed by other cities and peopleoutside of San Fran- cisco, all of which is capableof collection and which is,by the way, a most satisfactory amount for the finance committee to begin with. No other aspirantin the fight has touched the figures named by San Fran- cisco, and we have more to come yet. Pittsburg, the only city that we had any cause to fear in this matter, has about decided that it is impossible to accommo- date the crowd there, and Boston has given up the contest entirely. Chicago has suffered the distress of local dissension over the relative political standing of her supporters, and New York will not be considered by even one of the prominent National committeemen. The ovposition $0 San Francisco and her geographical gituation has been removed, and since it bas been found that it will be possible to Selegraph all the news necessary over the res running out of this City we have amwpled on every barrier that has been :t up against us. 5 National committeemen who were rather reticent regarding their choice are now openly proclaiming that San Francisco is the most available and logical place for holding the next Republican National Convention, The question of railroad fares is as good as settled, and while the Western Passen- many issues at stake in the development of the Western country to have any sub- stantial opposition ffom the East. ‘We nave about convinced the National Committee that it would do a wise thing to recognize the coast with something in the shape of commendation, and when a vote is taken it will be seen that we have not been found wanting. E RN UNDERSTANDS ITHE CASE. The Sam Jose News Keasons Wisely Re- garding the Convention. Under the caption of “Our Part of the Load,” the San Jose News gives the fol- lowing piece of good advice that is worth reading: If it i§ possible to bring the Republican National Convention to this coast the work that is being done, and that is proposed to be done, by the people of San Francisco, will ac- complish that resuit. They recognize the fact that machinery will not run without lubrica- tion; that work of the character they have in hand cannot be performed without money and plenty of it. There should be a large working capital behind the effort—large enough to meet every anticipated expense, and a liberal surplus to meet extraordinary conditions. From present appearances this will be done. The city seems to be properly aroused to a full realization of the importance of the occa- sion, and there is every reason to hope that their united effort will be successful. Santa Clara County has also an interest in this matter, fully as important as San Fran- cisco. We will, of course, not have the crowd here that there will be there, and the transient money left here will not be so large in amount. But for permarent benefit this county stands in a position to receive its full share. The low rates that will ve offered by the railroad com- panies will induce thousands to come to Cali- fornia who will never make this trip under ordinary eircumstances. Above all things they will want to see the orchards and vineyards on which our fame ts in these latter days. San Jose is in a position to cateh the overflow. We are near San Francisco and the means of communica- n are ample, quick and convenient. Witha fairly energetic effort on our part we can in- duce nearly everr one who comes to attend the convention to pay us a visit. Our people are, no doubt, sufficiently wide- awake to their direct interest in having the convention meet in San Francisco and are willing to do what they can to secure the re- sult. Many valuable enterprises have failed through the people depending on somebody else to do the work. There is a disposition already apparent in this community to permit San Francisco to fight out the battle single- handed. These people argue that the bay city will do the work elone if she is compelled to. But this is a selfish feeling and one that has lost us a good many oppestunities in the past. It is to be hoped that it will not control the present situation. There ought to be some expression by the people of Santa Clara County. To get this expression there should be a mass-meeting of citizens to talk t:e matter over, to deter- mine how much interest we have in the event and to ascertain what would be the fair thing for us to do. Everything that will pay should be taken u; COLONELS IN NEW DANGER Fourteen Companies May Soon Be Mustered Out of the Militia. The Full Financial Allowances Accom- panied by Grave Threats From Sacramento. When Governor Budd, Adjutant-Gen- eral Barrett and the other members of the Board of Military Auditors decided the other day to pay the National Guard com- panies their quarterty financial allow- ances they incidentally threatened to make things interesting for the colonels and captains within a very short time. This forewarning of trouble has caused no end of uneasiness in the City armories, and every one realizes that the National Guard of California is in the throes of another and more complete reorganization. The colonels are particularly troubled. In the recent elimination of & few brigade organizations and companies the City colonels managed to hold on to their eagles by proposing to accept from the State $75 a month per company. The company commanders, rating money sev- eral degrees above colonels, vigorously objected. The Governor and his military board withheld the money until yester- day. For a month and a half the organ- izations had been bankrupt. Company captains, armory and company commit- tees, armorers and innumerable outside creditors registered a combined and en- thusiastic kick. Finally the board gave in. The company captsins won, and now the regimental commanders are called to account. At their session the Board of Military Auditors threatened one of two things—the dismounted companies must agree to ac- cept $75 instead of $100 a month for their maintenance or fourteen National Guard organizations will have to be thrown out of the service. There are now sixty-eight companies in the guard. The appropri- ation, reduced by the last Legislature, will only support about fifty-four companies at $100 a month. The company commanders will insist on receiving the full allowance, and this means that the militia must be reduced in size. If one or two companies are taken from the regimental organiza- tions the office of colonel will go with them. Governor Budd and Adjutant-General Barrett have already discussed the matter of disbanding several of the San Francisco companies, making battalions of the regi- ments or one strong regiment and a single battalion. Of all military stations in the State this y will feel the strike of the lightning most severely. The Board of Location is still convinced that San Fran- cisco has too many companies, A National Guard officersaid yesterday : “The reorganization will have to be re- sumed. The captains of tompanies were never consulted about reduced allowances, and now that they have Won their fight with the colonels before! the Board of Auditors, they will undo\lyledly refuse to accept §75 a month for the $ake of savinga colonel his job. There sékms to be but one thing to do with the cbmpanies here. This is to throw out one TMgiment, make two regiments of eight campanies each, give the Second Artiliery’s Napa company to the Fifth Infantry, and tius make that also an eight-company regiment. But. whatever they do, there is trouble ahead. You may depend upon it that within a month or two the Governor ind his gene- rals will begin to stir things in this City. The companies here were never in so much danger as now, and I'a not much of a px%pnet if San Francisco i$ not given the grandest shake-up in the bistory of the service.” WOMAN'S UNION, Officers and Directors Are jnlt'flad for the Ensuing Yedr, The annual meeting of the Woman’s Fd- ucational and Industrial Ubion was held on the evening of the 12th linst., for the purpose of installing officers &nd directors for the ensuing year.

DESCENDANTS OF A GREAT CLAN Life Labors of the Illustrious Pioneer Preacher in the Western Wil- derness. .The new pastor of the First Christian Church on Twelith -street, Rev. Robert M. Campbell, who lately arrived from Ken- tucky, is not only a true son, or rather direct descent in that Scottish clan Camp- bell. His grandfather, Alexander Camp- bell, was the founder of the Christian, or as it is often called, the ‘‘Campbellite” church. The pastor of the Twelfth-street church was educated at Bethany College, West Virginia, which his grandparent organized and presided over as its first president. Alexander Campbell was born in grandson, of that church, but can trace a | good playing. The errors were few, but most of them were costly. They consisted principally in muffs or’ fumbling at im- portant stages of the game. Van Haltren did the heavy batting for the Oaklands. Only seven innings were played, victory remaining with the San Francisco nine, who had the game from the first, owing to the ease with which they batted Comiskey’s itching. The score was 11 to 8. Both Eanerics will be c{lunged to-day. Frazier will pitch for the San Franciscos and Jones for the Oaklands. This makes nine games won for San Francisco this season and puts that nine at the head of the league up to date. The official score yesterday was as fol- lows: SAN FRANCISCOS. A.B.

County Antrim, Ireland, in 1788, and brought up in the rigid government of the Presbyterian church. His mother’s an- from France upon the revocation of the edict of Nantes by Louis XIV. His father Thomas Campbell was a cousin and classmate in college of the poet Thomas Campbell and the close confidant of the youthful rhymer in the first flights of his genius. In 1808 young Alexander Camp- ell set sail for America, but before the vessel left the harbor of Londonderry she was wrecked, and the future founder of a new sect almost lost his life. He there devoted himself to the minis- try and soon after entered Glasgow Uni- versity. Upon graduation he again sailed for America, arriving safely in the land of the great West. He located in Pennsylvania and soon began to propound the doctrines that now distinguish the church associated with his name. A close adherence to the teachings of the Bible without regard to peculiar creeds was his belief. He first allied himself with the Baptists, but his advocacy upon matters other than the subject of immer- sion soon forced him out of that church, and with the earnest preacher went a large following. This was the origin of the Christian church, and its membership quickly spread over the Western States. His life as an evangelist was the usunal arduous labors of the country ‘‘circuit rider”—those pioneer preachers who did so much to blaze the way for civilization in its ¢rand march through the western wilds. While engaged in this work he published many books upon religious dis- cussions, one especially, the “Harbinger,” running through forty volumes. He was a thorough scriptural scholar, and his works show a deep knowledge embracing every branch of theological lore. When he founded Bethany College. in 1840, his followers numbered hundreds of thousands, and at the present time that church has a membership of overa million. He died March 4, 1866, at Bethany, about five months before his grandson, Robert M. Campbell, was born. Mrs. Alexander Campbell, aged 95, is still living. The minister of the Twelfth-street Cnris- tian Church is not the only relative of the illustrious pioneer preacher in this City. Police Judge Campbell is a cousin of Robert M. Campbell, as is also Attorney E. L. Campbell. Juage Campbell’s father ‘was a minister, and tfie Judge himself was especially set apart to wear the mantle of the great Alexander. He chose law in- stead of divinity, and the grandson, Rob- ert, donned the cloth. Rey. Mr. Campbell enters into his Cali- fornia field with enthusiasm, and already the young minister has infused a spirit of new life into the church. There will be a union meeting of all the Christian societies of this City, Oakiand and Alameda Thanksgiving day, when measures will be taken to begin a combined effort for reli- gious advancement in this church. What Alexander Campbell did in a comparative wilderness Robert Campbell belieyes may at least be imitated in civilization and among the churches. MADE MANY SKYSCRAPERS The San Franciscos Bat Comis- key’s Pitching With Mar- velous Ease. Straus Plays by Himself Till He Makes a Three-Bagger in the Sixth Inning. Balls flew in every direction at Central Park yesterday. Neither Harper for thé home team nor Comiskey for the Oaklands gave much mystery to their curves and sky-scraping flies were the rule. Lalydid beautiful batting. He stood at the home- plate five times and cn four occasions made two-base hits, sending the ball overamong the Mission-street tenements three times. There was a very meager audience, but those present had a good time. So did the players with the exception of Straus of the San Franciscos. He sulked by Kimselfun- til the sixth inning, fanning out with great precision every time he was at the bat. In the sixth hewoke up, though, and when the greater part of the Oakland nine were watching Mullane at first base trying to catch a fox terrier that was getting in the way, Straus reached cut for one of Com- iskey’s easy balls and sent it flying to the Mission-street fence in the right field. Be- fore the Oaklanders knew where they were Hulen and Werrick, who were lingering on bases, scored and Straus was sitting con- tentedly on the bag at third base. After that he looked less homesick.

One Chair in the Board of Edu- cation Still Remains Vacant. | ciscos 2, Oaklands 2. | San Dr. George Drucker Was Nominated, but No One Would Champion His Cause. There is prospect of a lively fight in the Board of Education over the election of a | successor to Director Charles B. Stone, | who resigned to accept the position of | deputy under Superintendent of Schools | Babcock. The board met as a committee of the whole previous to the regular meeting and discussed the matter thoroughly. A con- clusion was apparently reached. When, however, Superintendent Babcock, at the proper time, nominated Dr. George Drucker, asking at the same time that his action be confirmed, there was complete silence, and no one arose to second the nomination. Mr. Babcock intimated that while it had not been decided to name Mr. Stone’s suc- cessor at this meeting, there were three candidates and some of the Directors with which they were beset. He inti- mated that Dr. Drucker’s election to the place had all but been decided upon. Still no one moved to put the matter to a vote, and on motion it was putover to new busi- ness. Then there were hurried consultations in the secretary’s room, the sergeant-at- arms being called into requisition on a number of occasions to bring absent mem- bers in to answer to their names when a vote was called for. Apparentiy the talk came to nothing, for when new business was reached no effort was made to bring the matter up. Before Dr. Drucker’s friends—if he had any—realized what had_taken place a mo- tion to adjourn was mgade. “‘Hold on,” cried Director Clinton, “we have one matter yet to settle.”’ The point was” made that a motion to adjourn is not debatable and the chair sustained the objection. When the vote on adjournment was taken one or two feeble noes were heard, but the motion was evidently carried, and was so declared by the chair, Some of the Directors looked, blank and all declared that they knew no reason why the appointment bad not been made. ‘‘§ome one fell down,’’ said one Director, sotto voce, and the matter rested there. Director Stone presented his resignation, to take effect immediately. It was ac- cepted, with a vote of thanks for his ef- ficient work as a Director and as chairman of the Classification Commitree, Dr. Clinton was appointed iemporary chairman ‘of the Classification Committee in place of Mr. Stone. he committee reported in favor of the following: That Miss Emma I. McCracken, Miss Alice L. Chace and Miss Mira A, Mahoney be granted rade certificate that Mrs. B. W. Fattin, Mrs. Mary H. May-~ berry and Mrs. Elizabeth Klink McCoy girgmted special certificates for sewing ; that iss Therese La Coste be granted a special certificate in French; that Miss nie Newfield be granted a special certificate in the stenography class; that Mrs, Margaret B. Cooper be granted a special certificate in the cooking class. Mrs. Josephine Kennedy was appointed a regular teacher in the sewing class at the Franklin Grammar School. Clerk Russell of the Board of Supervisors sent in a formal notification that Charles 8. Young had been appointed Superin- tendent of Schools to succeed Mr. Moulder. ————— The First Train. A country boy who was brought upina remote region of Scotland had oceasion to M:compnn{ his father to a village near which a branch line of railway passes. The morning after his arrival, when saun- tering in the garden behind the house in which they were staying, he bebeld with wondering eyes a train go by. For a mo- ment he stood staring at it with astonish- ment, and then, running into the house, he said: “Fayther, fayther, come oot! There’s a smiddy ran off wi’ a row of houses, an’ its awa’doon by the back o’ the town,”—London Telegraph. ———— FINNAN haddies arrived.

Wawona Carried off the Honors by Winning the Mile Handicap at Odds of 30 to 1. The string of Green Morris, among which is the crack filly Sallie Clicquot, arrived at the new Ingleside track on Tuesday from Latonia. Si McClain rode his first mount at the meet- ing on the 12 to 1 chance Navy Blue, in the mile handicap, finishing a very creditable second. The win of Wawona came in the nature of & surprise to form players. His last race was a poor one, but it is possibie he is not partial to sticky going. Easel was bravely backed at long odds to win the third race, but was unfortunate in getting the worst of the start. She showed a world of speed and would undoubtedly have been & dangerous factor in the race with a better start. With his accustomed luck on favorites, Hinrichs managed to get tangled up with all the pockets it was possible to get into with the 8 to 5 choice, Caliente, clearly the best horse by many pounds in the third race, so the judges decided to put him on the retired list for ten days. Thomas Murphy, the well-known farrier, and his partner, ““Gloucester” McDermott, thought their colt, Walter J, a soldered-up cinch for the second race, but the youngster was unfor- tunate in being shut off soon after the flag fell. Mr. Murphy was not discouraged at the colt’s showing, but ays that he will yet show the son of imp. True Briton to be & young§ter capa- ble of taking a shy at an American Derby. With the coming of the Eastern visitors the game at the Bay District, which was getting very ragged, shows signs of im- provement. The racing yesterday was good and the crowd the largest week- day one in many moons. But the favor- ites cannot shake off the hoodoo that has hovered over them so long. All sorts of horses with fancy prices against them in the ring skipped past the judgesin front yesterday, Wawona heading the list at 30 to 1. Of the six favorites Castarette alone scored. The third consecutive start proved too much for Mt. Roy, the 2} to 1 favorite in the opening race of five and a half fur- longs, wno, aiter heading to the draw- gate, was passed by Last Chance, a 334 to 1 chance, and be aten handily in the remark- ably good time of 1:0714. A selling race for two-year-olds, five furlongs, followed and was captured quite easily by the even money favorite, Cas- tanette, who got away from the post fourth, but soon showed in front and won by a length from Don Pedro. Clara John- son, a 100 to 1 chance, ran well, tinishing third a head away. John Robbins scored a winning bracket in the third race, a second edition of the preceding run, with his recent purchase, the giant Don Pio Pico. The Little Flush filly made all the running and was not beaten until the last few jumps, when Cash Sloane brought the Don up with a rush and nipped the race by a nese. The 8 to 5 favorite Caliente finished in the bunth. The mile handicap furnished the sur- prise of the day. Backed down from 7 to 5 10 9 to 10, Model was played as though the race was over. To a fair start Eddie Jones got away first with Wawona, who had 25 and 30 to 1 about him in the betting, and thereafter it was a case of catch me if you can, the outsider leading all the way and winning by a length from tke 12 to 1'shot, Navy Blue, who ran a very game race. The favorite was fourth. Another warm one was bowled over in the fourth event on the card. Montana opened at4 to 5 in the betting, but from force of a strong play that was made on Detective, cutting his odds from twos to 7 to 5, the Montana horse receded to 11 to 10. There was nothing to it but Detective, Tod Sloane going to the front with the gelding and rating him along nicely, won y alength from Mamie Scott in the fast time of 1:13}¢ for the six furlongs. The favorite, who had been running in second osition the entire distance, was beaten ut a neck by the place horse. The mile and a half hurdle race resulted in a nollow victory for the second choice, J O C, who was splendidly riaden by J. Johnson, and won galloping by four lengths in 2:46. Auteuil took the place just as easily from Lonnie B. Mestor, the 8 to 5 favorite, judging by his performarnce, needs a rest, for he made a very sorry ghowing. Forty-sixth day. Wednesday, November 18.

Los Angeles and San Francisco Dogs to Race—Trials at Bakers- fleld. The Pacific Fox-terrier Club has ap- pointed A. R. Crowell a committee of one to meet the St. Bernard Club and procure its views as to the advisability of holding a specialty show of St. Bernards and fox terriers in connection with the poultry show, which will be he!d at the Pavilion on the evening of December 9. The Fox- terrier Club will attend in a body a special meeting at the Occidental Hotel this even- ing for the purpose of receiving A. P. Vrendenburg, the secretary of the Ameri- can Kennel Club. J. B. Martin has re- signed from the club and Dominick Shan- non and Norman D. Evelyn have been elected to membership. T. Cronin, a well-known patron of the sports of the leash, is in receipt of a letter from Los Afigeles which states that = prominent coursing man of the southern city has offered to race a ereyhound against any of Cronin’s dogs for the sum of $250 a side. The challenger stipulates that the race must be run in Bakersfield or that vicinity. Cronin has answered the letter, and states that 1f the gentleman of Los Angeles is sincere and means business he (Cronin) will allow him his expenses to this City, and will match a dogtorun against the Southern California flyer at Kerrigan & Cronin’s park, or if that propo- sition” does not meet the wishes of the challenger Cronin will be prepared to have the race take place during the time of the big coursing meeting at Merced. In all probability the coursing man of Los Angeles will accept the offer to run his charge at Merced. Apothecary Hughes, whose English set- ter, Silver Plate, is in training to meet a crack pointer owned by the president of the Pacific Kennel Club, received intelli- ence yesterday from the handler that Miss late is doing splendidly, and will prove a sure winner beyond all question. Slip- per Bier is saying very little concerning hisdog, but a letter from John Hughes has news to the effect that the pointer is working admirably, and can go a twenty- four hours’ race without shedding a hair or requiring a glass of water to cool his ardor. Hughes is very confident that it will be all-pointer day after the race is decided in Bakersfield. SPORTSMEN ARRESTED. A. Soti and J. P. Silvey Fined for Shooting on the San Pablo Preserves. Antone Soti and J.P. Silvey were ar- rested yesterday for shooting on the San Pablo preserves, They were taken before Justice of the Feace Wilcox, who let them off with a fine. It was evident they ex- pected a taste of prison fare in addition to the fine. A member of the club interested in the San Pablo preserves said yesterday: “It will scarcely pay a hunter to take the chances of being arrested for a little sport. No exceptions will be made. All persons who trespass on the club’s preserves will be arrested.” ———— Harrison Millard, the song-writer, whose death was recently recorded, offered his song “Waiting” to a publisher for$i5. The offer was refused, and Millard published it himself, and from its sale derived a hand- some income. ————————————————— start. Won easily. Winner, Westchester MR. 8.

FAT OR LEAN! “To Be or Not to Be” One or the Other Indicates—What 2 A Conundrum Pretty Enough In Itself, but There Are Side Issues. In a dime museum “the fat woman” is ever in evidence, and the living skeleton keeps her company with a regularity that rivals the accuracy of an astronomical clock. Now it is a moot question as to which of these two specimens of *‘God’s ’prentice work” is the more happy, or to put it the other way, which of them wishes most to be like the normal human being. To the physicist there is nothing very sad about either one of these “‘freaks of na- ture”’—in fact they may prove a matter of passing interest to him, but he knows little and usually cares less a2bout the heartaches that these poor creatures have as arule, all because they cannot be as normal beings are—*‘fit and well made.” But what comparison is there between these ofttimes happy creatures and the poor victites of insidious disease who, if suffering from a wasting disease, gradually become skeletons, or those who, if suffer- ing from urinary or kidney trouble, may become so very bloated in appearance that their features are unrecognizable? Surely there is none. It may be taken for granted that when a man who has one of these latter classes of troubles begins to look less ‘‘puffy” it is a “good sign,” and when a man is afflicted with a nervous or drain- ing disorder, that when he begins to pick up flesh he is improving. Take the case of Mr. S. M. Hooker, who at present resides in Los Angeles. Itistypical. Mr. Hooker came within an ace of being one of ‘“‘the sweet spirits that sit up aloft and keep watch over poor Jack.” But he was saved, as thousands of others have been, through the marvelous skill of the specialists at the Hudson Medical Institute. He is now cured and has this tosay about the matter: , Cal., July ‘San Francisco, Cal.— Gentlemen: Your letters have just reached me. They were forwarded from Arizona. I have not filled out the blank, as I thought it was unnec sary. I now feel as though I was a cured and a weil man. J have gained ten pounds since I came here—just & month ago. 1 am very grateful to you for what you have done for me. Respectfully yours, S M. HOOKER. Mr. Hooker was suffering from a disease which was sapping his very life’s blood, and that letter shows how be was on the sure road to recovery. But it is the same story always with those who apply to these wonderful physicians. Just two or three excerpts as example: towe, Cal., says: ¢n of the disea: “I am feeling R. t Jr. of Panoche: I Id not take #500 to reiapse into the state I was in before I commenced your treatment.” J. T. Ward of Park City, Utah, writes: “1 am pleased o say that I am cured of the terribls that I had.” F. Minturn, St. Louis, Mo. : well in five vears as I do now. my sincere thanks to you.” And so the grand work goeson. Day by day the testimony is received, and the physicians feel cheered by it. And it is proverbial now that while there s life there 1s always hope if you apply AT ONCE to the great spec s of the HUDSON MEDICAL INSTITUTE, and conse- quently THERE IS HOPE FOR ALL.
