4 THE N FRANCISCO CALL, THURSDAY, MARCH 19, 1896. s i STEEVES BACK IN PORTLAND'S JAIL Bondsmen Surrender the Lawyer Convicted of Murder. RETURNED TO PRISON. A Brother of the Late W. 0. Allen Precipitates the . Action. : MOVES IN A STRANGE CASE. Deserted by a Relative of the Man Alleged to Have Paid for His Defense. PORTLAND, Or., March 18.—The bonds- men of Lawyer Xenophon N. Steeves sur- rendered him to the authorities to-day, and he was compelled to return to jail after over a vear's liberty. Steeves was convicted of complicity in the murder-of George W. Sayres, who was killed on Rocky Point in September, 1894, by the hired assassin, “Bunko” Kelly, who isnow serving a life sentence for the crime. One of Steeves’ bondsmen was W. 0. Allen, the alleged instigator of the crime, who com- mitted snicide some time ago. As stated in a dispatch to THE CALL, several days ago, evidence has just come to light which tends to prove that Allen supplied $20,000 to carry on the defense of Kelly and Steeves. Since his conviction the lawyer had been oyt on bail, pending an appeal. The lawyer's sureties had announced their unwillingness to longer be responsi- ble for Steeves’ abpearance in court, and consequently the authorities lost no time in taking charge of him. The move was unlooked for and created great surprise. It was =bout 11 o’clock when Sheriff Sears, with a warrant in his pocket, was getting ready to go downtown to look for his man. In the corridors of the Courthouse he met Steeves, who was idly walking around, oc- casionally speaking to an acquaintance. He seemed not to have the remotest idea that he was about to be returned to prison. “Well, Steeves,” the Sheriff said, “I'll bave to take you again. They want you.” Steeves was astonished. *‘What's the matter; what do you mean?’ he asked quickly. “Your bondsmen have surrendered you, I understand.” “Whad's that? Surrendered me? Great Scott, I never dreamed of leaving here!” | Presently he added: “Why I cannot be- lieve it. Mrs. Mason surely did not ob- ject to remaining my surety.” Steeves readily consented to go withthe Sheriff. As soon as he expressed a wish to make an effort to secure a bondsman, Deputy Sheriff Meyer went with Steeves. When some of his friends heard of it the remark was made: *‘There is some curions work going on here.” It is said the determination of Adminis- trator Allen of the W. O. Allen estate to surrender Steeves was made known to the District Attorney this morning. The ex- ecutor is a brother of W.O. Allen, de- ceased, and refuses to longer allow Allen’s name to remain on the bond. When Steeves was convicted of raanslaughter, he furnished bonds for his appearance in the sum of $10,000. Mrs. O. P. Mason, wife of the lawyer, and W. O. Allen, the backer of Steeves, Kelly et al., qualified as the bonds- | men, and after a sharp fight in court over tbe statutory questions involved, Steeves was released, after about three or four months’ confinement. When Allen died last fall Steeves nar- rowly escaped going to jail, because the District Attorney wanted the court to pass upon the question as to whether, in the event of Steeves’ non-appearance, his es- tate would be responsible for the payment of the bond. Late this evening he had not succeeded in furnishing a new bond. ST EXPIRES ON A STREET. Sudden Passing of Ex- Collector of Cus- toms Abraham. PORTLAND, Or. March 18.—Ex-Col- lector of Customs Hyman Abraham, one of the best-known men in this State, while | walking along Third street this afternoon at 1 o’clock fell dead in front of the Lane- Davis Company’s drugstore. He had just | come from a doctor’s office near by, where he obtained a prescrintion. After he | reached the sidewalk he began to stagger. About that time Anthony Neltner, an old sriend of Abraham’s, camealongand asked what troubled him. “I don’t know,” was the reply. “I am sick and just came from the doctor’s office. 1 guess I'll go back.” oltner was supportiniAbruhnm while he spoke, and no sooner had he expressed himself as wishing to return to his doctor’s office than he whirled about and fell a corpse upon the sidewalk. UATURED NEAD FRESHD Officers Arrest a Member of the “Forty Thieves of Tulare.” Accused of Robbing Sheepherders Near Selma—Betrayed by a Confederate. FRESNO, Carn, March 18.—E. M. Jef- ferds was lodged in the County Jail to-| day by Constable Spencer of Selma and Deputy Constable Crutcher of this city on a charge of robbery. The arrest was made on s ranch twenty miles southeast of Fresno, where Jefferds had been kept in hiding. Jefferds was a member of the famous “Band of Forty Thieves” o6f Tulare and Kings ocounties, which has recently been broken up by officers after having carried on depredations for several years. Jefferds finished serving a sentence for petty lar- ceny in the Hanford jail a few months ago. The charge on which he was arrested to-day is that of robbing some Portuguese sheepherders near Selma last June. Joe Middleton, ex-leader of the famous band, is alreadyin jail on the same charge. A young man named Barlow, who was a participant in the robnery of the Portu- uese, has turned State’s evidence, and hence the arrest of Middleton and Jefferds. Jefferds is regarded as a desperate char- octer, and the officers who made the arrest to-day went prepared for warfare. They tovk their man unawares, however, and although he had a rifie in his band at the time he was given no opportunity touse it. R i Sealers Make Few Catches. VICTORIA, B. €., March 18.—Reports just reccived from the sealers scattered along the coast from off the Colum- bia River to the northward show that the coast catches for this year will be on the whole very small, the aver- age of those heard from to date being less than fifty skins. The weather for hunting has been all that could be desired, but the seals are very scarce. The schooner Minnie of this port heads the list, hayin secared kins. These have arrives here, and will form the first consignment of 1896 skins forwarded to the English market. ————— Electric Power for Oakdale. | OAKDALE, Can., March 18.—The Stan- islaus Milling and Power Company is this week placing poles and wires by which electricity will be transmitted to Oakdale for power and lighting purposes. The power is obtained by water ~pressure at Knights Ferry thirteen miles distant, and is more than sufficient to supply Knights erry and Oakdale. Eventually the wire will be continued to Modesto. SR P For the Port Orchard Drydock. SEATTLE, Wasi.,, March 18. — The steamship Umatilla, which arrived in port to-day, had as a portion of her cargo 200 tons of appliances, fixtures and fittings for tho Port Orchard Government drydock, an official test of whicli is to_be made as soon as this material is placed into position. Charter Day Celebration. BERKELEY, Car.,, March 18.—Next Monday, che 23d inst., will be the twenty- eighth anniversary of the granting of the charter by the State to the University of California. The exercises of the day will be held in the morning at Harmon Gym- nasium on the campus, beginning at 10:30. President Kellogg will preside and_ Rey. E. L. Hood will act as chaplain.

OAKLAND, CaL., March 18.—H. B. Mc- Avoy has been appointed guardian of Francis C. C. Fox and Lucy A. Hali, nephew and niece of William Larkin, who | left an estate valued at $80.000 to Elizabeth Cavanaugh. Attorney Fitzgerald recently located the niece and nephew. Fox was { found in an insane asylum near Cincinnati, Ohio, and Lucy Hall in a similar institu- tion in Oregon. Suit may be instituted to { establish the rights of these heirs to the estate. sy He Wanted More. ALAMEDA, Car., March 18.—Max Nor- | man was sent to jail this morning for five | days for begging. He is a bookbinder and | came from Uakland. He was beggirg for | food and told a pitiful tale of hard times and hunger. Yet it trauspired that when | he was arrested he had siowed away in odd |and ample pockets three loves of bread | ngti achunk of cheese, besides other eat- ables. PRESIDERT AND CABINET. | General Harrison Describes the Duties | of the Chief Executive’s Advisers. “In all important matters the President | is consulted by all the Secretaries,” writes ex-President Harrison in March Ladies’ Home Journal, in an article upon *‘The President’s Duties.”” ‘“He is responsible for all executive action, and everything that is out of the routine receives his at- tention. Everf' important foreign compli- cation is usually discussed with him, and the diplomatic note receives his approval. The same thing is true of each of the de- partments. Routine matters proceed with- | out - the knowledge or interference of | thé President; but, if any matter of major 1mFortance arises the secrefary presents it for the consideration ard advice of the President. Only mat- | ters of great and generai importance affecting the general policy of the admin- istration are discussed ir the Cabinet meet- ings—according to my experience—and votes are of rare occurrence. Any Secre- tary desiring to have an expression upon any question 1n his department presents it and 1t is discussed; but usually ques- tions are settled in a conference between the President and the head of the particu- lar department. There is a yielding of views, now on one side, now on the other; but it must, of course, follow that wien the President has views that he feels that he cannot yield, those views must prevail, for the responsibil- ity is his, both in a constitutional and popular sense. My habit was to give an afternoon to each Cabinet officer on a fixed day of thie week. These meetings were chiefly given up to the consideration of appointments, but if any other matters were pending and deemed by the Secre- tary of sufficient importance they were resented and discussed. The labors of a “abinet_officer. are incessant and full of responsibility. His time is largely taken up with calls, and, like the Presdent, he must, out of some fragments of time as he can secure, manage to study and decide the important questions that are daily presented to him. Certain appointments, chiefly of a clerical character, are by law given to the heads of the departments and with these the President usually refuses to interfere, though often urged to do so. It was my practice to refuse ;o send any card of recommendation to tke Secretary, though I spent many a weary hour ex- | plaining to friends why I could not do so.” S raa iy ‘War Is Growing Safer. Itis usnal to compare the battles of the last century with the battles of to-day, and dilate upon the greater deadliness of the modern weapons and the modern results. But the facts are all the other way. At Fontenoy, for instance, one volley of the Coldstreams struck down 450 Frenchmen of the Regiment du Roi. Again, at the same battle, the Gardes du Corps hadi not much short of 500 saddles emptied by a single volley, while the French Guards were scattered by .a point-blank volley irom a- British regiment at twenty paces that brought down 450 men.

BIG BLAZE IN BURKE MINES. Mills and Tramways of the Poorman and the Tiger Burned. GREAT LOSS RESULTS Operations in the Two Proper- ties Cannot Be Resumed Within Siz Months. NEW MACHINERY DESTROYED. Hundreds of Workmen in Enforced Idleness—Fears That the Shafts Will Be Flooded. SPOKANE, Wasn., March 18.—A special from Burke, Idaho, says that the milisand tramways of the Poorman and Tiger mines have been burned, but the large hotel con- nected with the mines saved. The fire started at an early hour thjs morning in the compressor of the Poorman mine. If gained great headway and attention was immediately turned to the adjoining build- ings. The efforts of many men could not prevent the fire from gaining headway on the tramway, from which it was com- municated to the mill of the Tiger mine across the gulch. When it was seen that neither of the large ‘buildings could be saved, attention was turned to the little town. This by the greatest efforts was saved. The total loss will be about $200,000, with insurance at 75 per cent. A large amount of new machinery was placed in the Tiger mill only a few days ago, and this, it is said, was not covered by insurance. Efforts are being made to run the pumps of the Poorman and keep the mine from flooding. If this cannot be done the com- | pany will suffer grea’ loss. Operations will have to be suspended for fully six menths betore the property can again be worked. The Tiger mine is owned principally by | 8. 8. Glidden and the Poorman by Patsy Clarke, both of this city. The mines are the best-paying properties in the Coeur d’Alenes, and the loss by having to close down will fall heavily on the owners, and hundreds of workmen will become idle. A RAMPAGING ELEPHANT. It Swept Away Cages, Chains, Fences and Trees Like a Cyclone. Broken fences and uprooted saplings in the zoological garden mark where Queen, the elephant who has been in winter quar- ters, went out on a rampage. Superin- tendent Sol Stephan is nursing a sprained ankle, several keepers are suffering with minor bruises, and ‘Jack” Robinson be- moans the demolition of a fine buggy, and Queen still holds the fort. The trouble arose in the attempt to move the elephant to Mr. Robinson’s stables at Terrace Park. Monday afternoon Mr. Robinson pur- chased all the animals belonging to the United Printing Company, which have been in winter quarters at the Zoo. The lot comprised two lions, two panthers, one leopard, one hyena, one sacred bull, four monkeys #nd the elephant called Queen. He arrived with his men and wagons at the garden and no difficulty was experi- enced in getting them loaded and on their way to their destination, Queen was left to the last, and in anticipation of trouble the animal was hobbled, a procedure which cons’sts in running stout chamns around the forelegs of sufficient lengths to allow only an ordinary stride. In addition to this a thick rope about sixty.feet in length was attached to one of her forelegs, at the other end of which a dozen keepers bad a firm hold. The journey from the shed past the res- taurant was uneventiul. Jack Robinson in his buggy was bringing up the rear when suddenly, as if the animal for the first time understood that she was to be | removed from her cuzy quarters and the companionship of Hadne and Little Tommy, the two other elephants, Queen turned.. By a dexterous pull on the geu Mr. Robinson managed to get out of harm’s way. Superintendent Stephan, | with a pitehfork in his hands, tried to stop | the maddened animal. Two keepers | drove the heavy iron prongs used to sub- | due elephants into each ear. The men at | the rope tugged and braced themselves | for a pull. Like pigmies Queen swept | them aside. The prongs of the fork en- | tered her trunk, but with a twist she broke them off. With a shake of her huge head she | tossed fo the ground the men who held | the prods, and those that cmng to the rope she dragged along until they were glad to release their hold. Then, with a | snort of rage, she drove her head to the fence, pushing the boards aside like reeds. Another plunge, and she broke through the aviary containing the golden pheas- ants, tearing down the heavy wire netting like cobwebs and. giving the bright- | plumaged occupants their freedom. Clear- | ing the road at a run, she pulled down another aviary, and made her way toward the restaurant. I Just as all thought that the huge beast was about to launch itself against the glass doors, Hadne, in the building below, sent out a cry. 'Queen -heard ii, ana trotted leisnrely toward the winter quar- ters. Ths doore were closed, but Queen used her head as a ram, and locks and bars gave way. With another blow of her trunk she broke down the slight barrier between her and Little Tomm{v, and when | the keeper came up shortly afterward she | ‘was contentedly munching hay beside her diminutive companion. Mr. Robinson, however, was determined not to be outwitted. by an elephant, and under his direction additional chains were procured, with which Queen- was once | more londed. When evervthing was in readiness she was taken out the rear door and in a different direction toward Avon- dale. Bv dint of blows and shortened chains, which made progress slow, they managed to drive the animal a distance of about five squares from ttie garden. Five times Queen turned, but a convenient tree,- about which the men had thrown the rope, stopped her retreat. When Wilson avenue was reached the trees gave out,-and Queen seemed to know that her time had come. In atwinkling she snapped her chains. With a kick she sent Superintendent Stephan sprawline, A whirl of her foreleg and the men who clung to the rope flew in every direction. Then, lifting her trunk on high and utter- g a cry of defiance, she began a lumber- ing jog-trot back to the garden. A fence was once more in her path, but she went through it without flinching. Some voung saplings stood in the way, and she up- rooted them rather than turn aside. Ina short time she was back again with Little Tommy as contented as before, and it was deemed advisable to postpone her removal for a few days st least. & When Mr. Robertson returned for his| bugey, which he had left standing near the monkey-house, he found it hanging by the hind wbeels ou the fence of the elk in- closure in a perfect state of collapse. and the horse contentedly browsing on the scant herbage around the banks of the lake.—Cincinnati Enquirer. —————— WATER NOT POPULAR. A Medical View of Its Use Three Cen- tures Ago. It needed a very bold man to resist the medical testimony of three centuries ago against water drinking. Few writers can be found to say a good word for it. One ortwo only are concerned to maintain that ‘““when begun in early life it may be pretty freely drunk with impunity,” and they quote the curious instance given by 8ir Thomas Elyot in his ‘Castle of Health,” 1541, of the Cornishmen, “many of the poorer sort, which never, or very. seldom, drink any other drink, be not- withstanding strong of body and like and live well until they be of great age.” Thomas Cogan, the medical schoolmaster of Manchester fame, said in his “Haven of Health,” 1589, designed for the use of stu- dents, that he knew some who drink cold water at night or k\stin§ in the moruing without hurt; and Dr. James Hart, writ- ing about fifty years later, could even claim among his acquaintance ‘‘some honorable and worshipful ladies who drink little other drink, and yer enjoy more perfect health than most of them that drink of the strongest.”” The phenomenon was unde- niable, but the natural inference was none the less to be resisted. Sir Thomas Elyot himself is very certain, in spite of the Cornishmen, that *‘there be in water causes of divers diseases, as of swelling of the spleen and liver.”” He complains oddly also that “it flitteth and swim- meth,” and concludes that “to young uARMY OF HEAVEN HERE." Mrs. Maybell Thinks It Caused the Schism in the Sal- vation Army. FITTING UP A NEW CHAPEL. General Stephen Maybell Preparing More Commodious Quarters on Brannan Street. “The real cause of the trouble in the Balvation Army, the one that caused the | rupture between father and son, was the fact that the son decided to depart from the lines laid down by the elder Booth, and follow in the lines of the Army of Heaven Here.” That was the astounding declaration made yesterday by Mrs. General Maybell, the wife of Stephen Maybell, the com- mander of the “Army of Heaven Here,” as she sat in the general's office in the rear of the new quarters that are being arranged for the poor of the City who apply to the general for food and shelter. *To show you that I am right it is only Woe furnish food to about thirty poor peo- ple daily, and have some five or six fami- ies to look after. . “Where do we get our supplies? Wh‘y, not from the millionaires, not from the rapacious landlords, not {rom the masses of the people, but from those whose bands are always ready to reach for part of their goods to assidt the distressed—the com- mercial men. +We are under no expense, have no sal- aries to pay, so that all that is given to us for charity's sake we devote to that pur- ose. We reach an entirely different class rom that which is reached by the Salva- tion Army.” The general has in cour:e of completion a neat small building, which he designates the chapel. This has stained-giass win- dows, an arched ceiling and at one enda small altar, over which there is large spacc. In this there will be placed a representa- tion of the earth and across its face will be the word *“Heaven.” The interior is to be finished in white and ¢ilt, and the. repre- sentation will rest on a bed of fleecy clouds to be painted by some artistic soldier of the army. The present quarters of the army con- sist of half a dozen very old-time struc- tures, some of the rooms of which have been papered and display on the walls a great many printed mottoes from - the teachings of the army. The principal one is “Obedience to orders is the way to holi- ness.” < “We have two kinds of service,” said the general, “‘the noisy one with drums and music for tbe street, which we call the military service; then we have the service in the chapel, which we call the silent ser- vice, for there the service will be conducted without noisy demonstration. “Now, as to the Salvation Army of ARMY H America, we do not care whether that branch carries on its work in our lines by EAVE) MY, HERVEN General and Mrs. Stephen Maybell and Their New Headquarters on Brannan Street. men, and them that be of hot complexions it doeth less harm, and sometimes it prof- iteth, but to them that are feeble, old and melancholy it is not convenient.” *‘Water is not wholesome cool by itself for an Englishman,” was the version of Andrew Borde—monk, physician, bishop, embas- sador and writer on sanitation—as the re- sult of a life’s experience. And to quote the “Englishman’s Doctor” : Both water and small beer, we make no question, ‘Are enemies to health and good di. estion. But the most formal indictment against water is that of Venner, who, writing in 1622, ponderously pronounces: ‘“To dwell- ers in cold countries it doth very greatly deject their appetite, destroy the natural heat and overthrow the strength of the stomach, and consequently confounding the concoction, is the cause of crudities, finctuations and windiness in the body.” —The Hospital. THE SHARP LORD TENTERDEN. A Number of Characteristic Storles About Him. The story of Charles Abbot has been often told—the scrubby little boy who, fail- ing to become a chorister, ran after his father through the streets of Canterbury, carrying a pewter basin, case of razors, and a bag of hair powder. The unpreten- tious dwelling whence the pair emerged was situated in a narrow street obposite the stately west portal of the cathedral, and its owner, who shaved for a penny and cut hair for twopence, boasted that he had thrice prepared his Grace the Archbishop to deliver histriennial chargeto tne clergy of the diocesg. Y A good story is told of Lord Tenterden, as this disappointed little choirboy be- came, having one day, at his own table, asked a county magistrate if he would take venison. ‘“Thank you, my Lord, boiled ehicken,” was the reply. His Lord- ship had contracted an invelerate habit of keeping himself and everybody else to the recise matter in hand. ‘‘That, sir,” said rna Judge, ‘‘is no answer to n_l¥ question. I now ask-you agsin if you will take veni- son, and I will trouble you to say yes or no without further prevarication.” . Tenterden was habitually down on wit- nesses, and on one occasion told the chair- man of the East India Company, whom he had failed to recognize as he entered the box, “to hold up his head and speak out like a man.’” The ruling passion is sometimes strong in death, and just “‘ere the weary pulse of life at last stood still” Lord Tenterden was heard to murmur to Limself: “And now, gentlemen of the jury, I leave you to consider of your verdict.”— Temple Bar. E —————— Hospital statistics prove that amputation is four times as dangerous after the age of fifty as befere. ; necessary for me to read vou this from the War Cry of the 15th of February, the offi- cial organ of the Salvation Army in New York, an extract from a report of a Tues- day noonday address by Commander Bal- lington Booth.” And she read: ° Had we not held our hand to the divine plow and bent our shoulders to the war-wheel and faced the national debt, the misrepre- sentations of the press, the slander of foes and the cold. callous indifference of those who did not know the army, and attributed other mo- tives to its work than those which were really correct, we ehould not have stood to-day with a bnckinq{ of over 2000 officers seeking to bring the kingdom of heaven on the earth. “There,you see,” she continued. *that is exactly our ideas and what we teach, that the kingdom of heaven is on this earth. Some time in last December the general sent a letter to the Salvation Army head- quarters here and that was sent on to the commander, and as it contained enough thunderbolts to shatter any army, it is no wonder that it brought about u disruption in the Salvation Army. After Commander Booth read it, it must have changed his line of thoughts ana caused him to turn from the teachings :g his father, which is that heaven can be reached through death and the grave. They teach that you must die to reach heaven, while our beiief is that in life there is heaven on earth. Itis such a beautiful belief that no wonder Commander Booth adopted it.”” < The general is at this time preparing new quarters in a two-story building on the south side of Brannan street, between Kighth and Ninth. Over the front is a rudely painted sign which conveys the in- formation that in a few days the premises v];mbe opened by the Army of Heaven ere. “This place,”” said the general, who was hard at work with a number of his soldiers making alterations on the street floor of the structure, which at one time was a hay barn, ‘‘is being fitted up for the accommo- dation of thos: poor individuals who are without bomes, have nothing to eat and no glmw sleep. For the present this will ave a depth of 70 feet with its frontage of 25, but if need arises the depth can be ex- tended to 80 feet. It will be arranged with single beds and will furnish shelter for about fifty. Underneath these will be fit- ted upa Iarge room in which meals will be served to the deserving gnor. “No,” said the general in response to a question. ‘“We are not organized in oppo- sition to the Balvation Army, but if there is anything in our manner ot working that is similar to thatof the Salvationists we cannot help that. We aim to bring the ple to our view of thinkingand to show hem that ‘heaven is here.’ “We send out our army to preach in the streets, and now there are about fifteen soldiers assigned for that particular duty. itself or whether it comes 10 us.

Gibson Hazelhurst of Beéch Springs, Neshoba County, Miss., an inventor un- known to fame, is endeavoring to,interest capital in a scheme he has perfected for the running of vehicles that he claims will revolutionize the world. He will make it possible, he says, for anybody to have a wagon that will run without horses at practically no expense beyond wear and tear. ‘“ln brief,” he explains, ‘“‘my nven- tion works this way. I wiil take an ordi- nary locomotive, for instance, tear all the works out of it, and place new wheels on it. These wheels are an invention of my own, and are made according to a plan I have perfected after several years of study. The secret of the con- struction. lies in the tires, which are made of wood and steel. 1 nave invented a magnet of rare power and lasting. In front of each of the wheels I place one of these magnets at an angle known only to myself. The magnets will be arranged in shiding grooves, connected with levers under the control of the driver. When the vehicle is standing still they are kept far enough away from the wheels to lose the effect. When it is desired to start all that is necessary is for the driver to pull one of the levers, the maenet gets close enough to the wheet to get the current to work, the steel portions of the tire are drawn toward the magnet, and the wheel oes around. The speed can be regulated y the distance the magnet is held from the wheel by the lever. If a load is being pulied, or if it is intended to go faster than one .-magnet can draw, it is. an easy matter to put one or more of the other magnets 1n operation. I figure that with four of my patent wheels, each equipped with one of my improved mag- nets, I will be able to move an ordinary locomotive drawing a train of eight Puli- man cars at from 200 t0 400 miles an hour as long as the passengers on the train can stand the stramn.” It was suggested to the inventor that it seemed likely toa man who knew nothing about it that a train of cars would be necessary to go in front of the engine and carry the magnets. *‘Not at all; not at all,”’” remarked Mr. Hazel- hurst enthusiastically. **On the contrary, the magnets are not much larger than a flour barrel. The power in them is placed there by a process known only to me., I can take an ordinarty pocket magnet, treat it with my preparation and put enough )}awer n it to lift a crowbar.”—Boston raveler. —————— Jockeys are not allowed to bet on the result o; races in which they are riding. | old sores and falling hair. the 1ight that will bring & great big g1 ’}?appme'us to vou.
