FREELAND. | The Temporary Pastor Has Announced | That He Will Not Accept Dr. McLean'’s Pulpit. OAxLAND OFFICE SAN FrANcIsco C. 908 Broadway, Nov. l} It is now almost certain that the Pin- eree plan of providing for the unemployea will be given a test in this city during the caming winter under the direction of the Institute of Applied Christianity. The cominittee appointed for the purpose has rted in favor of the plan and it will ully discussed in its details at the meeting next Monday. It is proposed to provide for the registration of all deserving Ppoor who are out of employment and to try to provide a patch of land from the unoccupied lots Iying idle about the city which may be cultivated in potatoes or garden produce, so that the families may in a measure be made self-sustaining. In the center or in the immediate out- skirts of the city there are hundreds of res lying unused that might thus be e product: The committee did not in the preliminary report go into details, but recommended a tnal of the scheme as muct better than an appeal to charity. It is proposed to make arrangements to lease all lots offered for this purpose and ar- range to provide implements and seed, ! thus put families in the way of help- ing themselve In Detroit, where the plan was put in operation by Mayor Pingree, 430 acres were occupied d 954 applicants took ad- vantage of the scheme. The cost of the exveriment was less than $3600, while the products were worth $14,000. In Alameda County nearly all the profits from vege- LL,) table produce are appropriated by Chinese and Italians, who not only supply this county but ship large quantities to San neisco. The Supervisors have also been impor- tuned to provide some work this winter on | the Contra Costa County road. The committee of the institute working on the relief schemes are: Daniel Stewart, Auditor S O. I. Denison, C. A. Stowe, d and A. . Gregg. RS’ FAIR.

LOOKING OR A JOKER. nted to He Circuluted False Notices of a Triple | Wedding. | {ager, the founder and superinten- ! tof the Floating Christian Endeavor | ciety, would like to know who started | tne story that his young daughter was to | ;ure as one of the brides in a triple wed- to be solemnized at the First Congre- 1al Church on New Year'sday. The ort, which was printed in all the Oak- D pers, stated that three well-known | es, all members of the Christian were to be married to the three icers of British ships now in_port. Minnie Hager was set down as the af- -ed of P. A. Layton, and for several she was the recipient of numerous rratulations. Now the young lady and her father de- : that the story is baseless, and that Miss Minnie, who ‘is not yet 17 vears of 10t even contemplating marriage. Sh n energetic member of the Float- ing Endeavor Society, and has a host of iriends in church circles, many of whom expressed surprise when the engagement was announced. Miss Hager has taken a Jeading part in the services on board ship and has thus become acquainted with many captains, officers and apprentices, | and it is thought that one of tnem probably | started the triple-marriage story. i WILL NOT ACCEPT. | Freeland Is Not to Be Dr, | McLean’s Successor. | Tt has been stated that Rev.

THE CHASE GIVEN UP. Sheriff White Returns Home Without Convict Crowley. Thg chase aiter Phil Crowley, the escaped convict, is practically ended. Sheriff White returned to town to-day and feels convinced that Crowley iz out of the county. Yesterday the Sheriff and his son drove” through San Ramon Valley, but failed to find any farmhouse at whic h Crowley had asked for food, and that was taken as an indication that he had fled from his first hiding-place in the rough country north of Haywardis and had beaded for Contra Costa County. George A. Sturtevant, the present Dis- trict Attorney of Mendocino County, for- merly defended Crowley when on trial He says he is not the desperado that the officers say heis. He is quite a shrewd fellow and will do many things in the nature of tricks to avoid arrest, but will not do much shooting. His father is a wealthy man in the State of Illinois, and it is thought he will probably try to get to Chicago. Two Deputy Sheriffs have been left in the hills to try and secure a clew, but nothing is known at present that might lead to the capture of the conviet, and no more posses will go out, except some definite information be received. Dr. Coyle and Theaters. It has been stated several times during the week that Rev. Dr. Coyle of the First Presbyterian Church denounced theater- going so strongly last Sunday night that no member of his congregation would ever again be seen at a playhouse. To-day, Dr. Coyle said that the following paragraph, which he supplied to TE CALL, is the only reterence he remembers making to the theater: It is a very poor kind of a_life that can live ouly upon stimulants. When we can read nothing but the exciting and sensational, and must betake ourself to the theater and look 1ipon painted shows fo find happiness; when the old home and the old church and the old book are accounted dull, the tide is very low and death is not fer away. The men and women who make and save the world are the | men and women who pine for nothing romantic, nothing stagey, nothing startling, but are content to lead a.quiet and peaceable life in godliness and honesty. High School Athletics. A mass-meeting of students, teachers and school directors was held School gymnasium this afternoon to dis- cuss the advisability of the hoys sending a team FEast next year to compete at the ional Interscholastic games at New York. The games are held during the holidays and the boys are attempting to raise §5000 to pay expenses. Already sev- eral hundred dollars have been obtained, but Principal McChesney had denounced the ]lflan as one that will interfere with the boys’ studies. There were several speeches made this afternoon and the de- cision was arrived at that three delegates should be appointed by the students, a like number by the teachers, by the Board of Education and by the alumni, and that the twelve hould meet at the High School aturday night and finally decide the r. At present it looks as though the project will not go through. To Dwell in a Castle. Charles F. Whitton, an official court re- porter, has leased the famous Peterhof castle from the widow of the late Count Peter Poulson. The new tenant is not at all superstitious and does not fear the threats of the Messianic Order that many kinds of misfortunes will certainly be the position of any one who attempts to dwell there. The members of the order are very numerous around Peterhof, and they ex- pect to see the Count return from the great unknown at any time. Killed in a Ditch. Fritz Weilder, a s2wer contractor, was killed this morning by the caving in of a sewer ditck at Golden Gate. Weilder was working with a man named Williams, and the latter went into the house, which was being connected, with the main sewer. While he was away the earth caved in, and when Weilder was discovered his feet were | in the air and several tons of earth were on top of him. He was dug out at once, but life was extinct. Weilder was 35 vears old, and leaves a widow and one child. Stars in Danger. The investigation into the charges pre- ferred by Chief Lloyd against Officers Brown and O’Hare was concluded to-day.

HIS INFLUENCE OVER WOMEN. / An Attempt to Obtain His Masonic Papers From His Last Wife Fails. | | | OAKLAND OFFICE SAN FraNCISCO CALL,) | | 908 Broadway, Nov. 2L. i | Mr. Meyers of Newark came to Oakland | afew days ago to look for his wife. He | | had been informed that Mrs. Meyers was intending to decamp with Cornelius | Stuart, the Englishman who has recently | figured in several scrapes and who was | | claimed by twe women as their husband. | | Meyers supposed that his wife was ona | visit to San Francisco, but learned thatshe | was in Oakland and was a frequent visitor | to Stuart while he was confined in the | | County Jail. She and another lady weré | | very attentive to the prisoner, but he was | released before Meyers learned of his wife’s | | friendship for the man behind the bars. | | The irate huskand hunted Stuart for sev-| ! eral days in vain. Stuart had disappeared | and so_had Mrs. Meyers. Mrs. Stuartand | Mr. Meyers were brought together by | stuart’s attorney, W. F. Aram, and on | comparing notes they were convinced that they had discovered a neat little plot. It was then discovered that Mrs. Stuart had given her husband money with which to pay his attorney, but that he had not done so. Mrs. Stuart declared that she had lost confidence in her husband, and Mr. Meyers said he did not expect to see Mrs. Meyers again, but he wou!ld very much like an in- terview with Mr. Stuart. Some days ago Stuart rushed into At- | torney Aram’s office with a check which was thought to be bogus, and said he was going to use it to pay a man whom he had sent to Mrs. Stuart’s house to procure a little trunk containing his Masonic papers. This scheme did not work, for Mrs. Stuart in the meantime had learned that she was | evidently de trop and refused to part with | anything. | Last night Mrs. Meyers cooily walked | into the attorney’s office and asked if he could tell her where Mr. Stuart could be | found. Mr. Aram told her she could prob- | ably answer the question herself, and the | | lady departed. | Stuart is a mystery to all who have had | occasion to watch his career. He pos-| sesses a marked effect on middle-aged | women and seems to be able to induce | them to further all his schemes, from mortgaging their fl-operty for his benetit to marrying him. e is not an attractive man, but for several years he has figured in courts, but has always escaped con- viction. His most recent affair was the al- tering of the marriage license record after his marriage to Mrs. Ada Moore, the lady | who is still his wife, if no one else can sub- stantiate a claim to that title. “I have watched Stuart very closely,” said Mrs. Aram, wife of hisattorney, to- | night, ““and I must admit he possesses a remarkable fascination. I listened to him and felt inclined to sympathize with him, although I knew he was insincere and had cone off without paying my husband his fee. I do not see anything attractive | about him, but even after bis disgraceful treatment of Mrs. Moore she believed in ' him till Mrs. Meyers of Newark came on the scene. Now [ think she is convinced he is worthless. If he should come back I would not like to guessat the result. I presume he wiil be heard from before long, asa man of his ways is never long in re- tirement. It will not be well for him, | though, should he meet Meyers.” JORN BERMAL CONFESES | The Man Who Shot Richard | Foley Gives Himself in Custody. ‘tBoth Were at Mrs. Alviso’s House | There Was a Scuffle and Then the Pistol Shot. OAKLAND OFFICE SAN FrANCISCO CALL,} | 908 Broadway, Nov. 21. John Bernal was brought to the County Jail from Pleasanton to-night and will be | neld till the result of the shooting of Richard Foley is known. | Thismorning Bernal surprised the Town | | Marshal of Pleasanton by confessing that | | he shot Foley. He then walked into Jus- | | tice Brophy’s courtroom and surrendered | himself, at the same time giving up a re- | volver with which he said the shooting | | was done. i | “Foley was trying to get into Mrs. | Alviso’s house,” “said Bernal to-night, | | “and there was a scuffle. I tried to keep | him from breaking in the door, and in the | | row my revolver went off. I did not in- tend to shoot him, but I had it in my hand | and it went off and kit Foley. He and I are friends, and no one_1s more sorry than | Tam that he is hurt. 8o long as he could | | not talk I did not say anything, but now | that he is likely to die I thought it best to | | speak. When the gun went off 1did not | know that it was Foley. After he wasshot | he walked away."’ Bernal refuses to tell why he was at Mrs. | Alviso’s front door at 2o’clock in the | morning, and says that he was not in the | honse. | Foley's condition 1s unchanged, except that he tflmears to be growing slow}) | weaker. His strength is ebbing, and it is | not believed that he will live long. His | statements have been so conflicting that | no faith is put in any of them. The gen- eral belief in Pleasanton is that Foley at- tempted to enter Mrs. Alviso’s house by force, and that it was then that he was shot by Bernal, who was on the inside. A number of men who have frequented her place are being closely watched, and their whereabouts at the hour of the shoot- | ing investigated. Mrs. Alviso, near whose house Foley was shot, aenied that Foley was there. She was separated from her husband about three years ago. She says that she had a speaking acquaintance with him, but he did not call on her. This i contradicted by the statement made by certain parties that some time ago Foley and another man were at her house when some trouble arose and Foley was fired out. Foley flatly refuses to make a dyin declaration. Once Foley said he wonl make a statement, and Deputy District At- gorne,v Moore told him to go ahead. He egan : ““Well, I was shot about fifteen feet from Mrs. Alviso’s house. That’s ali T know about it.” Then he again declared that he would make no statement. No charge will be made aganst Bernal until the result of Foley's injury is determined. FAITH CURE DIDN'T SAVE Death of the Missionary Daughter ‘Who Discharged Her OARLAND OFFIcE, SAN FrANcIsco CALL, roadway, Nov. 21. I Doctors. Miss Marie J, Smith, the young lady | ing short of a miracle could save the young | solely on faith to cure her of a complica- tion of Giseases, died this afternoon. The case of diss Smith has attracted much attention on account of the fact that the family physician, Dr. Wythe, was per- emptorily discharged and all human aid was dispensed with several _months ago. Mr. and Mrs. Smith were missionaries in Northern China, and about three years | ago they returned to this country so that their daughter could have proper medical treatment, Over a year ago the physicians | gave the family to understand that death | was only a maiter of time, and that noth- | | lady. Dr. Wythe attended the patient from March to June, and then he was told | that his services were no longer required. | The case was evidently a desperate one, a class that El Sueno may not under the rules compete with. Buena Vista Avenue. The time for paying before delinquency, in the Buena Vista avenue extension pro- ceeding, expired last night at5 o'clock. But five property-owners assessed failed to pay. They are A. Fromm, August J. Fromm, Henry Mohns, James McBride and the Central Pacific Railroad Company. The amount of their delinquency is $2181 85. This street opening 1s an im- portant proceeding, as it completes public street extension work that makes con- tinuous a fine avenue through the length of Alameda for a distance of nearly four miles.

"After lier death Dr. Wythe was | sent for, and he had no hesitation in say- | ing that death was due to consumption of the bowels. Accordingly he signed the death certificate, “I attended Miss Smith regujarly from | March to June.” said the doctor to-night, | “and I made a very careful diagnosis of her case. [ saw that she was suffering from several ailments, and knew that the consumption of the bowels must have proved fatal. Ithink it was June that I was discharged, and a few times after that saw the young lady, but I never pre- scribed for ‘her. By the progress of her decline I was quite satisfied that consump- tion was gradually doing its fatal work.

The principal ones were Professor C. M. Gayley's *‘Blue and Gold” and “The Golden Bear.” The University of Califor- nia has no song distinctively its a movement 1s being agiiated to pt, some one of those presented as a strimi_v college song, to be sung whenever occasion permits. The executive committee of the athletic | association met yesterday afternocn and | consiuered the question of a distinctive | university emblem, to be worn only by | uprpm\'ed athletes. b accordance with the growing senti- | ment in favorof designating the university as simply *‘California,” the new emblem wiil be a large letter “C” worked in gold on a blue sweater.

But Five Property-Owners Pay Taxes for Buena Vista Avenue Improvement. ALAMEDA, OaL., Nov. 2L.—Proposals will be opened to-night by the Encinal Yacht Club for the erection of another building at its landing-place, off the southerly terminus of Grand street. The new structure is to be built to the north of the main clubhouse, on piles al- ready driven. Itsdimensions will be 35x70 feet, and it is to be one story. It'will con- tain two bowling alleys, two billiard-tables and a shuffle-board, besides a large assem- bly room, with huge open fireplace. Its estimated cost will be $2500. Money to meet the expense of construction will be raised by the saie of bonds. These are being issued in the denomination of $10 each, bearing 6 per cent interest, and $1500 have already been taken by members. The success of the Encinal Yacht Club during the past year, both socially and in racing contests, Ku inspired great enthusiasm among ils members. This new building is the direct result of it, but there is already talking and rllnning to build one or more new yachts for the coming season to zuard the trophy won by El Sueno, and which it is feared may be wrested away by craft of | | 7o the Spo clothes. The Reliance boys came without (some of them) and they nearly froze to death. L was cold and snowing the day of the §lme, and receipts consequently lighi—but $1348, a week-day game, too. We are in mournin; here: Reliance gave us the first defeat, think they will tell you how close it was. We had it within three or four feet of their goal line when time was celled. Some of our best men were not here and our boys played the “punkest” game they ever put up. Every man in the line learned the game this season, and ent to pieces. Butte mourns; but'T am 0 gamble $1000 that we defeat the Re- ce at Frisco December 21. We leave here on November 20 for Denver, returning here about the 25th.

The following letter is seli-explanatory: Sporting Editor Call, Wednesday—DEAR SIR: The description of the Kelly-Butler contest at | sme Club seems to ‘me to be incorrect. There was no brutality, and certainly it was no one-sided affair. The San Francisco lad bat- tled bravely acsinst long odds, secing that he had to take off seven pounds in four hours at the Loryea Baths. That he had his man almost out in the first round will be conceded by all who witnessed the contest, but the strain of the afternoon was too great. THE CALL is the | San Franciseo Club paper always, and thus we ask a correction. The many friends of Kelly are ready 0 make a return match with Butler at a reasonable date, believing that the former will reverse the verdict of last Tuesday night. Respectfully. G. A. Next Tuesday evening the Reliance Athletic Club of Oakland will give its zentleman’s night. Boxing and wrestling will constitute the principal sport of the evening. Considerable interest is mani- fested in the four-round bout between Mc- Mahon of the Olympic Club and Ford of the Reliance Club. The men_ are said to ve very evenly matched in science, and at 125 pounds they should make a very in- teresting showing with the mitiens. In the wrestling contests the event of the evening will consist of a match catch-as- | cateh-can, best two in three falls, between Williamson of the Acme Club and Grill of the Olympic. In conjunction with the matches stated an excellent programme of athletics bas been arraneged by the officers | of the athletic committee. |~ The next contest that will take place at | the Colma Athletic Club will be between | George Green (Young Corbett) and Danny | Needham of Minneapolis.

TWO NEW CUTTERS. Plans and Specifications for the New Revenue Craft Have Been Re- ceived by Collector Wise. After being importuned for several years the Treasury Department recently decided to give the port of San Francisco some- thing like an adequate revenue cutter service, and yesterday Collector of Customs ‘Wise received from Actin g Secretary Cur- tiss plans and specifications for the two new vessels for S8an Francisco. One of these ships will take the place of the Hartley, or, rather, go into active service in her place, the Hartley to be simpi{ kept for emergencies, and the other is to do coast duty outside. The coast_cutter is to cost $200,000, her material to be of both wood and steel, and she is to have a displacement of 1280 tons, and, if it can be attained by her style of build, develop a speed if necessary of eighteen knots an hour. Such a ship would be far superior to any ocean cutter now on the coast. § Until she is named she will be known simply as “No. 3.” Her length isto be 219 feet, depth 33 feet and beam 17 feet 8 inches. The harbor cutter is to be known as the “Golden Gate,” to cost $50,000 and to have a speed of 113 knots with 525 horsepower and 215 tons displacement. She will be mauch bigger than the Hartiey and able to go out to sea. She will be double-decked and manned with day and night crews. The ocean vessel must be finished by January 1, 1897, and the harbor cutter by August 1, next year. Bids for both will be received until December 21.

Through Superior Riding on Chorn’s Part Laura F Beat Midlo a Nose on the Wire. Jockey Ballard, who will ride the horses trained by J. D. Randall, is due to arrive within the following two weeks. “Dutch” Collins, weil known on Eastern tracks as the betting commissioner for M. F. Dwyer, is one of the late turf arrivals. Bookmaker Sam Summerfield arrived from the East yesterday, and, with his partner, Frank Miner, will probably cut in at the next drawing. Dan Honig, the St. Louis horseman whose racers are quartered at the new Ingleside Track, got into town from the East yesterday. He brought his clever light-weight jockey, Garner with him. George E. Smith (Pittsburg Phil), who di- vides honors with Riley Grannan as a plunger and has been for years one of the most talked about personages of the turf world, stepped off the Oakland boat yesterday, fresh from the East. Mr. Smith’s horses, among which are the well-known performers Derfargilla and Wernberg, preceded him a day, getting here in the car containing EA Purser’s string. Bob Tucker was tried at the jumping game yesterday morning, and his initial trip over the sticks could hardly be called a howling success. He managed to throw his rider and run away, finelly capping the climax by endeavoring to jump the inner fence to the main track. Thisis where he met his Water- loo, for he got but haltway over, and before extricated from his unpleasant predicament was a fit subject for the abtatoir. The card yesterday contained a scant lot of entries. The favorites were all pro- nounced ones and with a single exception had no difficulty in showingin front at the end. The betting was sluggish, and omit- ting the nose-and-nose finish between Midlo and Laura F was a poor day’s racing. Jerry Chorn and Chevalier divided the riding honors, each landing two winners. The Australian horse Empire came out fresh and full of run in the opening dash of five and a half furlongs and was made a slight favorite over the other seven start- ers, going to the post a 214 to1 favorite. Burns got away from the post last with him, but he ran around the field and won by a short head from the 6tol chance, Rogation. Burmah was third, half a length away, a head before Modesto. In the second race, at five furlongs, for two-year-olds, occurred the only dump of the day. Zeta was plunged on at4 105, but after showin: slightly in front of Veva for over three parts of the journey gave it up. Charlie Slaughter now brought the 12 to 1 shot T'iny up, and outfinishing Rowan on Veva won by a neck in 1:02. The erratic Spry Lark, second choice, finished last. The next race, a mile selling affair, was a cake-walk for the 4 to 5 favorite Red Root. Chorn laid back in the bunch with him until a furlong from the wire, when | he gave him his head and he galloped in, a length in front of old Sheridan, at 20 to 1 in the betting. The time, 1:44}4, marks a slow performance. Barney Schreiber’s black filly, Laura F, was a 6 to 5 favorite for the fourth race at five furlongs, opposed only by four other two-year-olds. The stable fancied the chances of Midlo, with but ninety-nine pounds up, and heé was a decidedly well- backed second choice, his odds being low- ered from 11 to 5 to 8 to 5. When the flag fell Dennelly on Midlo was first away, and he maintained his advantage - here gained until less than a furlong from home, where Laura F drew up and disputed 1t with him. In a bard drive Chorn outfinished the lighter boy and got the Schreiber entry’s nose in front the last couple of jumps, This finish was the redeeming feature of the day’s sport. Green Morris scratched his entry Strath- meath out of the six-furlong run, and nei- ther of the remaining two starters, Mon- tana and Linville, had speed enough to get Thelma out of a canter. She wasa2to5 chance and won as she pleased, with Mon- tana a hanay second. The last race over a mile looked like a gift for Detective, and 1 to 4 were the best odds obtainable sgainst him around post time. He was in front almost the entire way and won easily, two lengths in front of Ike L,a 25to 1 chance in the betting. Charmer was a close-up tlLird. SUMMARY. Fijty - third day, Thursday, Weather fine.

NOTES OF THE GRIDIRON. Olympics Played Without Berkeley and Practiced Two New Plays. The Olympics had to content themselves with lizht practice without opposition at Central Park yesterday evening, as the Berkeley Varsity did not come across the bay to play the second secret game. Two new plays were tried by the Olym- pic team. In one the ball is touched by the half and advanced round the tackles by the quarterback, guarded by the inter- ference of the other backs. The other play is a long run straizht to the side, with a double line of interference, the first to encounter the opposing end and the other to protect the runner in his advance. Porter, the right tackle, practiced for a time as fullback and punted better than Phemkauf, the left half, who has so far done the kicking for the team. The Olympic line-up for to-morrow’s match with Reliance is not yet decided upon. Captain Smith said last night that he would propably make several changes in the line, but could not say just what they would be. It had been hinted that in addition to Wilbur as left guard, the line would be further strengthened by putting Simpson, the disqualified Berkeley plaver, in_at tackle and moving Porter to fullback. But the Olympic captain denies that Simpson will be played in Saturday’s game. But big Wilbur, the record-breaking hammer- thrower, will play left guard, and possibly Cameron will be putin at right end. He &ayed that position last evening and has en 1n training for it some time. Oscar Taylor, Berkeley’s star fullback of ’92 and ’93, is coaching the Olympic men. Patterson, once of the University of Cali- fornia’s victorious track team that made a tour of the East last sammer, will be sub half for the Olympics to-morrow. ‘With Taylor, an old Berkeley Varsity man, as coach, and with Porter, a member of last season’s Varsity, as tackle, King- ton, a student at the College of Pharmacy, as center, and Patterson, the Berkeley high jumper, as a substitute, the alliance betwcen the Olympic eleven and the Uni versity of California appears to have its origin further back than the recent can- celing by the Stanford manager of the re- turn game with the Olympics. As the two big Athletic Club teams hap- pen to be constituted this season, it is natural that some of their members should tavor one college. It might be expected that the Berkeley men on the Olympic team would not forget their loyalty to the State University, and it might also be ex- ected that the captain and several of the eliance team, being old Stanford football men, would as individuals be the allies of the Palo Aito Varsity. The future existence of the two big ath- letic clubs’ football teams must depend in a measure upon material supplied by the universities and upon the practice and training obtained from contact with the college elevens. Both the State Univer- sity and Stanford have been very mate- terially benefited by their games with the Reliance and the Olympic teams and the clubmen have also profited by the ex- perience that will make their match to- morrow a_better and more scientific ex~ hibition of football than would otherwise have been possible. Men are at work in Central Park upon the new grand stand for Thanksgiving. Substantial new benches are aiready up in place along the south end of the field and the entire east side is to be fitted up with tier upon tier of seats, so that on the day of the great intercollegiate match the field will be surrounded by four sloping walls of over 11,000 spectators, in addition to the more wildly enthusiastic who will stand along the low fence about the gridiron. o AL George Green Confessed. George Green, who was arrested in a Mason- street resort last Thursday night by Secret Agent N. R. Harris for passing counterfeit money, confessed before United States Commis- sioner Heacock yesterday. He was held. The Government expects to use him as a witness ngsindsc Edwin Abbott, with whom he op- erated. THINK OF THE HAPPI- ness, the deep, heart whole content, that settles upon your mind when you say to yourself, “I am strong and manly ; I have preserved the gift of manhood that nature gave me.” Yes,you who can say that and say it hon- estly, think of how much you owe to nature, the giver of man- hood. Yet not many can say it. There are too many pitfalls, too many temptations in the path of young men, and too many of them fall. Itis to correct the error of youthful folly, and point out the happy recovery of manly vigor by his wonderful Electric Belt, that Dr. Sanden has given to the world his famous book, “Three Classes of Men.” He will send a pocket edition free, sealed, to any sufferer, or to any man who does mnot feel himself a man.
