THE MILL VLLEY STAIE Scenic Railway Contractors Say They Can Get All the Men They Want. An Incident Showing the Unpopu- larity of the Construction Company. MILL VALLEY, CaL, Feb. —The California Cor uction Company professes to care little whether the laborers em- ployed in the building of the Mill Valley and Mount Tamalpais Scenic Rail- yoad go on a strike or not. One of the head men said tc-day, in discussing the situation, that it did not matter one iota whether they left or not, as there were hundreds of men willing to step right into their places. The company admits that a number of men have deserted the camp, but consider the matter of no importance. Many men who claim to have been promised positions as graders on the mountain road are stranded in Mill Val- ley, and have been compelied to go from house to house begging for food. One old sellow, whose case was brought to the at- tention of the CALL’S correspondent, said that he had been working for the last week in one of the stables in order to get to- gether enough money to pay his fare back to San Francisco. He said he had been promised a position on the mountain road, but had not got it. He nad been talking with the men and they said everything was vile, the work— ten hours a day—was hard and the food hardly fit to eat. The people of Mill Valley have no love for the construction company and show it this week in a very decided manner. The Volunteer Fire Department here owns a large triangle which hanegs over the entrance to their halland was formerly used to give the alarm in case of fire. The instrument is never used any more, and has been hanging idle for a long time. One of the timekeepers for the construc- tion company happened to see it and, thinking it might come in handy at camp to cail in the men to supper, took it down and carted it awa, Some one saw in_the act and in- formed the Chief oi the Fire Department, who consulted with others, and finally swore out a warrant for the man’s arrest for petty larceny. A search-warrant was issned, and Dep- uty Constable E. E. Gray searched the construction company’s camp and found the triangle. Both the triangle and the time- keeper were brought before the Justice of the Peace, Thomas Fottrell, who imposed a fine and allowed the man to depart.

Once and again, it would seem, 2 man is born into the world belated. Strayed out of a past age, he comes among us like an alien, lives removed and singular, and dies a stranger, There was a touch of this strangeness in Charles Lamb. Much as be was loved and befriended, he was not much understood; for he drew aloof in his studies, affected a ‘“‘self-pleasing quaint- ness” in his style, took no pains to hit the taste of his day, wandered at sweet liberty in an age which could scarcely have bred another. ‘‘Hang the age!”’ he cried. ‘‘I will write for antiquity.” And he did. He wrote as if it were still Shakspere’s day; made the authors of that spacious time his constant companions and study, and deliberately became himself “the last of the Elizabethans.” When a new book came out, he said, he always read an old one.—Professor Woodrow Wilson in the March Century. ————— TAKE RATIONAL CARE OF YOUR COLD AT ONCE, by using Dr. D.

SAN BERNARDINO, Car., Feb. 28.— An enraged father, a missing bride and a disconcerted hushand are the principals in a local romance that threatens to end in | tragedy. The spiriting away of a bride of | afew days from the husband’s home by the parents of the young woman is the | cause of the trouble. The old folks al- | lege that their daughter was hypnotized when the wedding occurred, which fact | renders the proceeding null. | On Wednesday last Miss Lelia McGarr | of San Bernardino was married to George | Banford of Highland by Justice of the | Peace Soule of this city. The honeymoon had hardly set in when there came a change over the domestic relations of Mr. and Mrs. Banford and the McGarrs. The young couple had hardly become settled in their little home at Highland when in marched the bride’s father. Banford was absentand the bride, listen- ing to ber father’s words, either consented or was forced to desert her own home and go to that of her parents. Since then her husband has not seen her, although he has searched diligently to locate her. The husband declares he will have his wife or blood will flow. The father claims his daughter was hypnotized and knows nathing ot her marriage to Baniord and says she will not live with him. Mrs. Ban- ford is a beautiful young woman, 18 years of age, and has borne an excellent reputa- tion. Her father is an old mountaineer and trouble will follow 1f Banford attempts to abduct his wife. WHAT FATIGUE IS. of One the Chief Dangers Arising From It. Fatigue is the natural result of labor, and as such is a periodic symptom with | which every healthy person is familiar, Itis one of the laws of organic life that periods of rclaxation shall succeed periods of activity. The heart itse!t is normally in repose for about one-third of the time consumed by each beat—a fact 1n which there is something varticularly suggestive and interesting, since physiologists agree that about one-third of the twenty-four hours should be devoted to sleep. Life is made up of a series of vibrations in which tension and rest succeed each other. The heart vibrates about seventy times a minute; the vibrations of the respiratory organs occur about sixteen times in the same period; while the vibra- tions of the whole organism may be said to complete their cycle oncein twenty- four hours. Abnormal fatigue, a state ap- proaching exhaustion, occurs when one attempts to alter nature’s rhythm, when the hours of tension are made to encroach upon those which should be devoted to rest, when muscle and nerve already fatigued are driven to further exertion. Fatigue of a kind known as training results, in the case of the athlete, in heart weakness and shortness of breath—*‘loss of wind,” as it is called; while the long-continued fatigue occa- sioned by excessive application to profes- sional or business pursuits results in ner- ion, or even in paralysis. sults from it is that commonly indicated by the term ‘‘catching cold.” danger of sitting in a draught oron the damp ground is many times doubled after great exertion. The application of heat to the surface is a more logical procedure after extreme fatigue. Loss of sleep is one of the first symptons of abnormal faticue. Habitual insomnia from this cause is to be treated only in one way, by absolute rest.—Youths’ Com- panior ) ——— NEW TO-DAY. The Star Cigar. It shines above alt others.

DOGTOR SWEANY | WHY IS DOCTOR SWEANY acknowledged as San Francisco’s | LEADING AND MOST SUCCESSFUL SPECIALIST? ~ BECAUSE His reputation has been established by effecting CURES of |CHRONIC DISEASES IN MEN AND WOMEN where other | physicians of acknowledged ability had failed. Diseases | which had reached a stage before which the most skilled and experienced physicians stood powerless have yielded to his treatment, and praise and gratitude are received from RICH and POOR. and consider aright this unparal- READER STQP leled and overwhelming testimony. | It means that a cure is effected of every case that is under- taken. FACTS ARE STUBBORN THINGS, - CHRONIC AND WASTING DISEASESey Of the Throat, Lungs, Heart, Stomach, Bowels, Kidneys and | GENITO-URINARY ORGANS have been Doctor Sweany’s study | for life. There are cases of this character which, through neg- | lect or improper treatment, ars beyond medical aid, but there | are many more given up as hopeless simply because incompe- | tent physicians have failed to effect a cure. This especially applies to diseases of the BLOOD and the GENITO-URINARY ORGANS, and Doctor Sweany yearly saves thousands from be- coming mental and sexual wrecks. YOUNG, MIDDLE-AGED AND OLD MEN, If you are suffering from the effects of early indiscretions, ex- | cesses, emissions and unnatural losses, which rob the blood | of its richness and the body of its animating influences, which enfeeble the constitution and finally result in Impotency, Paralysis, Softening of the Brain and Insanity; if you are tor- mented with morbid fear and your days are passed with dis- tressing thoughts of your disease, if you are unfit for the every day duties of life, if you have any or all of those symptoms you are suffering from SEMINAL WEAKNESS, NERVOUS DEBIL- ITY and their kindred causes. THE FIRST THING TO DO In order to get cured is to cast aside all false modesty and place yourself under the treatment of this noted specialist. His experience in the treatment of such diseases has been world-wide. He has cured thousands of others and CAN CURE YOU. GONORRHOEA, GLEET, STRICTURE, and that terrible and loathsome disease, SYPHILIS, thoroughly and forever cured. THE POOR, who call at his offices on Friday afternoons, are welcome to the doctor’s valuable services free of charge. RITE Your troubles if living away from the city. Thousands are | cured at home by means of correspondence and medicines | sentthem. Doctor Sweany’s patients will get all the advan- }tages of experience and travel in Europe with diligent study in !her best Medical Institutions. Letters are answered in ENG- LISH, GERMAN, FRENCH, ITALIAN, SWEDISH, NORWEGIAN and DANISH. NAMES of patients or their diseases are not published or exposed, but there are thousands of testimonials on file in Doctor Sweany’s private office. They are voluntarily given as true, deep and sincere expressions of gratitude from our mer- chants, manufacturers, mechanics, farmers, lawyers, laborers and literary people, who have been cured by him and made happy. Itis a part of judgment and sense to seek Doctor Sweany first, instead of squandering away time and money upon the uncertainties of patent medicine and picayune spe- cialists.
